OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

FORT HAUCHUCA Ariz.--
Out here in Huachuca where
nothing grows save cactus and
sage, where the last of the
Apache scouts are stationed,
where the bad men Of the old
West fled f or refuge from the
forces of law and order, and
where horned ton,5. rattle
snakes, and jackratLits find a
natural habitant, the United
States is attemting to trans
form 5000 Negro youths from
Jitterbugs into soldiers. All Of
the enlisted men and selective
service trainees stationed here
are colored.
There are two regiments here,
the 25th and the 268th infantry
regiments. The 25th has a
notable history. At the begin
ming of the program of eXpan-
sion of our armed forces it was
one of the two existing Negro
regiments. On the other hand
the 368th is a brand new regi-
ment. OF was activated on Mar.
l, when several hundred men
from the mines, factories, and
farms of West Virginia, Ohio
and Kentucky arrived here from
the receiving station at Fort
Thomas, Kentucky. The history
of the 368th will in some meas
ure be determined by these LIST
members.
All of the Mcdowell countians
who left the FREE STATE on
February 10, are here on the

THE BEST WAY OUT OF
THE GAMBLING MAZE

FL Centre, striving toward clean
cut policy through the murkiness OF un-
ineligible state legislation relating to
gambling games and their supervision,
faces a doGble problem.
On one front the city must decide
what kind Of gambling it will permit, if
any, and what form supervision OF TINS
gambling shall take
On the other front is the problem
caused by driving customers to other
valley towns in which officials are more
lenient toward gambling.
An Ell Centro business man, writing
to the editor of the Post-Press, reported
that, q hear from the people who patron
ize the gambling resorts that since
broadway in) El Centre IS closed ana
Brawley is wide open, the large number
of people who ordinarily are FL Centro
shoppers go to BraWley
Unfortunately what this correspondent
heard was entirely true, insofar as ordl-
nary patrons of the Broadway games
going elsewhere was concerned. II mas
been an argument all along that HI Zen
tro, by clamping down ON gamollng'
would drive away those who spend a
considerable amount of money with local
merchants, in addition to the money they
lose at the card tables. The merchant
suffers, although innocently, in any anti
gambling drive limited to one city or
community, no matter where it Is.
It becomes apparent that the only real
solution to the problem in a countrywide
one concurred in alike by the county
board of supervisors and every munic-
ipality. Such a solution enVisages a stat
ed policy rigidly enforced everywhere.
Such a solution should be settled upon
1t is only fair to every community that
every other community play bali accord
ing to the rules.
Possibly the most serious obstacle is
agreement among all parties upon a def
mite policy. Such an agreement should
include designation of games to be per
mitted. 1t must include also provisions
for rigid enforcement Of laws against
games which are not permitted In the
statement of such a policy. nothing
should be left open to doubt or misinter-
pretation.

RUSSIAN TRADE
(RiVerside Press)

While our federal government at Wash
ington has been giving away destroyers
and airplanes to England, American bus
less has been permitted to sell raw mate
rials to Japan and oil to Russia
Since July, 1910, the Maritime Com
mission has approved charters of 10
United States tankers to Russian inter-
ests and these tankers have been busily
engaged in transporting oil to Russia,
thus releasing Soviet oil to Germany for
use Of naZi stukas.
We have also been shipping to Russia
large quantities of oil-well machinery,
pipe and tools. We shipped more than
S16,000,000 worth of assorted machine
tools to Russia in the first six months
of 1910 alone, in addition to copper, steel
and wheat. In the last three months of
1910, we shipped 10000 tons of cotton
to Russia, while she delivered the entire
cotton supply to the nazis.
While Russia was attacking helpless
Finland we continued to ship the raw
materials of war to Soviet harbors in
Siberia. Now Russia has petitioned the
American government for the release of
funds of the conquered nations-Lthua-
MIA, Latvia and Estonia-so that she may
use the money to buy more American
war materials.
incidentally, Russia owes over S4O0,-
100000 to American firms and individ-
uals whose properties and funds the
communists confiscated during the revo-
luton.
The government of Russia was official
ly recognized by our own government
during the first term of President Roose-
welt, and ever since that time, its activ-
tiles in this country have been INSOFAR
ably linked with the communists who
are attempting to overthrow our democ.
racy.
The Russian situation is only another
argument in favor of breaking off trade
relations with other hemispheres and
keeping our war materials at home

THE MECHANICS OF A
COUNTY GAMBLING POLICY

The gambling mess can be solved upon
a countrywide basis if the elected repre-
sentatives Of the people are willing to
expend the energy needed to reach such
a solution.
District Attorney Elmer w. Heald
seems the logical person to assume lead
ership in any effort to establish uniform
gambling rules. He is, firstly, we'll versed
in existing state laws concerning gam
bling Secondly, he has been perhaps
the most active advocate of sane sOlu-
ton to the problem, and his activity in
the past deserves recognition.
With leadership once established, these
things could be done:
County supervisors and councilmen
from every city could designate one man,
possibly Heald, to draft a model ordi-
nance regulating gambling-an ordinance
which will more clearly define percent
age gambling, if that is possible within
the scope of existing state laws.
The board of supervisors in behalf Of
the county area and the councilmen Of
every city, in behalf of their cities, could
then adopt the ordinance.
Law enforcement officerS-sheriff and
polce-could then be instructed by their
governing boards 10 enforce the ordi-
nances rigidly, and to police all gam
bling places regularly.
If these things were done, there would
be no more complaints by one communi-
ty against another and, more important,
no more rumors Of graft and gambling
payoffs.

Real Cooperation Begins

Everywhere you look today you
see signs that people are beginning
to take the defense emergency SER
iouSly. It's about time, too.
The entire motor industry has
willingly accepted an initial 20 per
cent reduction in production of mo-
tor vehicles for the model year
which begins Aug. /, and is either
reducing or eliminating model
changes entirely. That means more
man-poWer, more machines. more
materials, facilities and manage
ment for the defense load
All manufacturers of brass pipe
are discontinuing production OF
yellow brass pipe, and are making
red brass pipe instead, just as good
for most purposes. Why? Red brass
contains only Is per cent OF zinc;
yellow brass 80 or 40 Extra zinc
thus made available for defense
equals 25,OO0,OO0 pounds of cart
ridge brass.
This sort of thing is going on all
through industry in an increasing
wave. And in the meantime, labor,
too, seems to be settling down. Co
director Sidney Hillman of the Oh
flee of Production management be-
lieves that strikes in defense in
