S. E. Robinson Cheers

From State Committee

Members OF the Imperial

USDA war board, were in
formed Wednesday of a

farmer who now needs laborerS for
his land or will need them in the
future should Immediately contact
the United States employment SER
vice in Ell Centro, Robinson urged.
1t will be through the local office
of the employment service that
labor will probably be distributed
here.
The sub committee was cheered
by Robinson's disclosure but also
took steps to handle disastrous la
Dor shortage that might develop

STRIKE AT IuLL
The Strike occurred at q Belfast
mill where hundreds of employees
refused to go to work because of
Williams execution.
Although Williams last wish re-
portedly was that his death should
not have stormy aftermath, ten
sion was heightening hourly.
1t was generally felt that the
IRA, which is a strong organization
in North Ireland despite its being
illegal, would use violence to avenge
Williams.
Armored cars patrolled the streets
and all Belfast was covered by
special police tommygun squads.
Large police reinforcements were
brought in from other parts of the
country.
Belfast had been declared out of

: Initial reports on the desert bat
tie indicated that British armored
forces and American and British
planes were pounding the forces of
Marshal Erwin Rommel who was
trying to get his desert machine
rolling
1t was the first big combat ac-
tion for American forces in the
Middle East. U. s. bombers and
fighters were carrying out attack
after attack on Axis concentrations
and American tank units stood on
the battle line ready to counter any
Nazi thrust in their direction.
The first impact of the battle
was felt at the southern end of
the Alamein line where armored
columns of both sides were en-
gagged
AT stake in the desert combat

ultimate objective is the Nile and
the Suez. The Allies, if they beat
off Rommers challenge, may open
up an about attack TO drive the
Germans from all footholds in

FRANCE NERVOUS
There was continued nervousness
in France over French African
possessions, notably Dakar and
French North Africa where Vichy
reported the fourth British recon-
naiSsance plane of the last few days
was shot down.
Moscow dispatches reported that
the Stalingrad defenders were suf-
fering heavily under new German
pressure which opened a dangerous
break in the southwestern defense
zone. A Nazi communique claimed
that German columns have reach
ed the Volga north of the city.
1t appeared that the German at
tack was driving the defenders in
toward the city of Stalingrad it
self where the Red army presum-
ably plans a last-ditch stand like
that at Sevastopol if possible.
A possible hint of forthcoming
Allied moves to relieve Nazi pres

hover absented himself from cere-
