WE LEARN A LESSON
FROM A METEOR

The meteor that disturbed Imperial
Valleys atmosphere Sunday night pro-
Vided more than an astral diSplay-lt
provided a concrete demonstration that
the valleys residents are not yet all
fully aware of their full duty in war
time crisis.
We're all so thoroughly stepped in the
exercise of our peacetime prerogatlves
that we needed lesson like this one
to bring home the realization that nSlS-
tence upon such prerogatlNeS at a time
like this might prove fatal. 1t didn't Sun
day night because the sky, and not a
japanese bomber. was aiming its missiles
at us-and the sky didn't make return
visit after the first time. A bomber
would have.
The simple lesson we've got to learn
and the lesson We should have learned
Sunday nights to stay away from the
telephone when something unusual hap
pens.
So many people telephoned to police
stations. to the sheriff's office and to
other official agencies Sunday night that
had there been a real emergency, teie-
phonic report of it might have been de
laved bv vital minutes. The wires were
so iammed with the calls Of anxious resi-
dents that there Was no room Tor ol1lclal
business.
Telephone operators deserve applause,
because realizing the potential danger
they kept ame line open to the law en-
forcement agencies after ii became ap-
parent that excited citizens We're IN
fair way to monopolize the wires.
OF course we all have right to pick
UP the telephone and call the police sta
ton, or any other public agency, at any
time we choose We're taxpayers and
citizens, with the rights of taxpayers and
citizens. But. for the love OF our own
skins, let Us not insist upon that rlght at
a time when common sense dictates that
il is better not exercised.
1t sounds like an unimportant thing,
but the biggest help a lot of US can give
in time of crisis is to stay home and, II
we must talk to somebody, run across
the street and talk to our nelghbors. II
is unsettling, of course, not to know I'M
mediately what has happened-but 1t is
better to be unsettled than dead, and
dead we might be if telephone lines are
so jammed that the persons charged with
reporting the approach of enemy planes
cannot get an open line to make their
report.

PERMANENT AUTO TAGS

(DallaS Morning NeWS)
Advocates of keeping automobile IL
cense plates in use for more than one
year now have a strong argument IN the
need to conserve steel for defense Rep
resentative John w. Gwynne of Iowa re-
Gently estimated that use Of plates Tor
five-year period would save $50 tons OF
steel annually in his State alone. At the
same time, it would save S44,O6O year
for Iowa taxpayers
The Gwynne plan calls for keeping
plates current by the use OF small
gadget weighing one and one-half ounces
instead of requiring new plates, which
average more than pound for the palr.
Since most Of the steel for 1912 plates
already has been ordered, such plan
could hardly be put into effect before
issuance of the 1943 plates. BY that time,
the war emergency may have supslded'
but the economy from making plates last
five years instead of one would be well
come even in peace time.

WHEN RIVALRY

Rivalry between the United States
Army and the United States Navy are
traditional. This rivalry is grand NOR

services. But when it reaches too hlgh'
at too fierce a pitch, we have something
else again.
We have Pearl Harbor.
There is a move afoot IN congress Tor
unified command of army and navy
forces. as a result of the revelation that
lack of cooperation between the two ser
vices was largely responsible for the
slumber in which japanese attackers
caught the Hawaiian defenders.
We do not pretend to expert knowledge
hut we can see no reason why this ma
ton cannot train men we'll versed IN
both sea and land MISUNDERSTANDING
the use of aerial weapons-to such an
extent that they would be able to coordl-
nate the two services for better results
Barring that, neither do we see any rea.

both army and navy officers should not

least two and possibly three enemy

(UPD-AuStralian Royal air force
planes, striking at a big japanese
invasion fleet in Rabaul harbor in
the Bismarck islands. damaged three
ships in raid during the night, an
air force communique said today.
Pilots saw the three invasion
ships burst into flames, the COM
munique said.
All planes returned safe.
LANDING OPPOSED
Australian militiamen, including
busnmen specially trained in guer-
lila fighting, were reported fighting
Japanese landing forces estimated
to total 10000 in the Rabaul area,
300 miles northeast of Australia.
Unofficial reports were received
that the Japanese were already OPP
Grating planes from a base or bases
lin New Britain island of which
Rabaul is the chief town, and it
was believed the Australian planes
which went to the support of TIL"
heavilT outnumbered defense forces
had bombed fields which the enemy
could use.
1t was known that other Japanese
planes were operating from aircraft
carriers.
INFORMATION VAGUE
The government still had little
information of i.Ic extent or size
of the japanese invasion of the is
lands which form an arc off the
northeastern corner of Australia.
1t has been said definitely that
the Japanese mad occupied Kieta,
IN the Solomon islands southeast
of New Britain.
Today, however, Deputy Prime
Minister-War Minister F. M. Fordc
said he had received reliable infor-
nation that Kieta had not been
occupied.
1t was not clear whether as the
government had reported, Japanese
troops had seized a foothold in the
Buka passage at the end Of the Sol
ONION Islands nearest the BiSmarcks
and Rabaul.
The government remained grave
ly anxious over the results of its
urgent appeals to President Roose-
velt and Prime Minister Winston
Churchill lu aid, believing that
japan meant first to bomb and then
to attempt to invade the Australian
continent.
Faced by total war effort in
