major battle between reinforced
Chinese troops and japanese me-
chanized columns ragged today
along the twisting Burma road at
Chefang. "a miles inside the Chi
nese frontier. The enemy was at
tempting to advance on American
air bases in Yunnan Province.
A military spokesman said Che
fang had been a battle center since
the japanese occupied the border
town of Wanting on Monday and
pushed north in the general direc-
ton of Paoshan (Yungchang), 100
miles above the frontier.
JAP PLANES DOWNED
Unconfirmed reports said one
enemy advance unit had reached

ing. 1t appeared that the immediate
japanese objective was PaoShan,
the base of American volunteer nj
lots who are attacking Japanese
aerial raiders. At least II enemy
planes have been downed in three
days over PaoShan.
The spokesman indicated that
Chinese resistance around Want

that the japanese had crossed the

SPREADING THE POISON
OF INTOLERANCE
(Everyman's Busir,ess)

(Everyman'S BusiresS)
A tone inc. easingly menacing to free
speech is distinguishable in official utter
anceS coming out of Washington. The
old smear brush is being worked over
time to diScredit and punish those whose
only sin is that before the war they op-
posed the Administration foreign policy
or that now they oppose certain features
of its domestic policy. That stirring or
der of Revolutionary War days has been
paraphrased into Let none but interna-
tionalistS and New Dealers stand guard"
Poet Archibald MacLeish, head of the
Office of Facts and Figures and chief
minister of propaganda, is taking the
lead just now as wieder of the lash
In a speech he urges editors to take up
a campaign to coerce all unOrthodoX edi-
torial opinion among contemporaries.
Presumably these are the soft words
that precede action. A new OFF book
let. Divide and Conquer" tries to con-
iure up a Nazi Fifth Columnist behind
every criticisms of government policy
even on the home front.
Frederick Shelton writes in Nations
Business that washington bureaucratS
are getting increasingly intolerant of all
criticism" A bitter campaign is ante
ipated in the fall elections, with Admin
istration party workers trying to pin
friend of the enemy labels on all oppos-
ition candidates. Hundreds of candi-
dates for Congress will soon be shouting
that "A vote for me is a vote against Hit
ler'
But the citizen with an open mind is
beginning to suspect that this too elabor-
ate effort to condition him against enemy
propaganda is really an attempt to sill
ence all dissenting opinion, as has been
done in Germany and Russia. If he speaks
that sentiment courageously the battle
for free speech will not be lost.

MILITIA AGREEMENT
DOESN'T CHANGE LAW

Since this column pointed out the other
day that the so-called new State Militia
is actually and legally a part of the
State Guard, it has become apparent
that Sacramento is directing its militia
recruiting drive with much stress upon
the statement in the enlistment applica-
ton, signed by the enlistee, which says:
81 (blank), do hereby apply for ad
mission in the militia of the State of Cali
fornia and do hereby enroll as private
in said militia.
provided, it is hereby understood and
agreed by the state of California that said
militia will be called into active service
only in the event of an enemy attack by
land or air or both upon the state of Cali
fornia and that in such event my service
will be obligatory only within the con-
fines of the county in which | am enroll
ed"
The words are plain enough, and the
pledge is plain enough, but here is some
thing to remember:
When any agreement is in conflict with
the law, the agreement is void.
Not even Governor Olsons written
promise, in his proclamation calling for
the formation of the state militia, alters
the fact that the militia is legally the
state guard, and is subject to every rule
which applies to the state guard. In
other words, only honor binds the COVER
nor to fulfill his promise. Legally he
would be entirely within his rights in or
dering any company of the militia from
Imperial county to the northern Califor-
MIA border, if he wanted to, and every re-
cruit would have to obey his order.
We do not intend to criticize organiza-
ton of the militia. In fact, We believe
it is at base a sound idea. But we do
insist that the militia recruits should
have their status fully explained to them.
If necessary, we believe, the state legisla-
.ure should be called upon to authorize
a state militia separate from the state
guard, and make the separation plain.
AS it is, the state law says that "any
organization" of this kind shall consti-
tute and be known as the state guard
