COMPROMISE WOULD
HELP STATE GUARD

The current struggle between Cover
nor Olson and the state legislature over
restrictions governing use of the CaIifor-
MIA state guard might very we'll be COM
promised With benefit 10 adj.
As to giving the governor complete con-
troll over the entire state guard Set-up,
to send It's units wherever he wants on
any excuse he may offer. We do not be
lieve il should be done. As To recreatinE
the militia organization As purely home
guard outfit. with rigid restrictions
against service outside the community Of
its residents, we do not believe it would
be wise.
We oppose complete control by the
governor because we do not believe the
present incumbent has shown sufficient
executive ability. nor a sufficient divorce
ment from politics. IL be entrusted with
such control. He is too liable, we believe,
to use the state troops when there Is no
need for their use, and to allow political
considerations To enter his assignments.
We oppose a purely home guard estab-
liShment, on the other hand, because
there may arise circumstances under
which it would be necessary to send units
from one community to another IN the
greatest possible haste to engage III eN-
traordinary police work.
best be worked out, under which the guard
can be shifted at will-but only in time
of great emergency, and al the express
request Of |. S army or navy command
erS Otherwise. we fear that our we'll
intentioned but somewhat poWer-grasp-
ing governor might do more harm than
good by attempting to use his own army
in such q manner as TO get IN the way
of regular service troops.
AS matters are at present, we see no
need for calling state guardSmen from
one community to another, nor do we
see any need for all-out mobilization Of
the guard. If Pacific coast cities were
bombed or if an attack We're made on
this coast that would be another matter.
The guard should be free to go to the
scene of greatest need. to relieve regular
troops of non-cOmbatant duties.
So we suggest that the governor give
a little ground, the legislature give
little ground, and a compromise be work
ed out which will really meet the needs
of the state.

KEEPING
DEFENSE SECRETS

California Legionare)
OF all the unfavorable national charac-
teristicS of the average man in the Unit
ed States. his inability to keep his mouth
shut is probably the most notorious In
fact. great many of the miSund@rstand-
ingS that have arisen between citizens of
this country and those of other lands can
be traced directly to imprudent talk.
There are cases during the past war
when men holding important national
defense posts have talked in public places
about things that would be valuable to
our enemies Too often secrets We're told
merely to make an impreSsion-to con-
vince listeners that the speaker had I'M
side information
Now the United States is at war. Sc
cretS blurted out to impress listeners may
cost the lives of men in the service. Even
veiled hints may put the enemies of the
United States on the trail Of vital mfor
nation
The safest method is just 10 keep quiet.
This applies to ordinary civilians as
we'll as those in important official posi-
tions. Experience from the last war has
shown what harm can come from loose
talk about ones neighbOrS. Anyone with
an accent was accused of being a spy.
This does not mean that anyone who
has good reason to suspect the loyalty
of one who poses as loyal citizen should
Just forget about the matter But in
stead of talking, and thus warning the
suspect, the matter should be taken up
directly with the FB1 or other proper
authority Then, if suspicion is warrant
ed, the offender can be taken care of and
if the suspicion proves unfounded, no
harm will have been done by gossip.

RUMORS AGAIN

One FL Centran. seated alone in drug
store the other day, overheard within
a space OF IS minutes two separate con-
versations in each Of which at least four
entirely unfounded, wildly untrue and
almost completely ridiculous rumors
were retailed with great gusto In one
case the offender was a man, in the
other, a woman
One dealt with runored FBI activities
which, had the rumor been true, would
have outdone any fiction you've ever
read The other dealt with defense pre-
cautions, and was as astOniShlng-and
as false-as the first.
Those two people, whoever they We're
undoubtedly regard themselves as good
Americans Most likely, they would be
willing to fight anyone who says they
aren't.
Well, here's their chance. We say they
aren't.
Even though they might have mistak
enly believed the rumor to be fact, they
were violating one OF the first rules laid
down for Americans when this country
went to war. It was. Don't spread
rumors; don't talk about unannounced
defense or war efforts.
In some people, it seems that the de-
