Order TOGO. Board
Here Foreshadows
Added Ra;ioning
Tire Setup Expansion
Seen as Forerunner of
More Restrictions

The shadow of still more
commodity rationing appear
ed Monday when the County
Council of Defense was or
dered to enlarge tire ration
ing boards sufficiently to handle
the rationing of still other COM
moditieS.
Immediate enlargement was Or
dered by Paul Barksdale DOR, state
rationing administrator. He sale
the tire rationing boards must be
large enough SO they may be split
into sections because we are about
to begin rationing other commod-
tiles"
News of the impending ration
ing Of other commodities besides
tires was received by the county
board of supervisors Monday.
OTHER BUSINESS
The board of supervisors went
into immediate action to induce
Washington officials to keep the
Fort Yuma Indian hospital open
instead of closing it Tor lack OF
funds. No funds, the board was in
formed we're appropriated by the
federal government for the 1912
1943 fiscal year. A total of % adults
and six babies, all Indians, now are
being cared for at the Fort Yuma
hospital which in the past has pro-
vided disqualification for the 1000
Indians on the reservation. If the
hospital is closed, supervisors said,
the burden will be placed on the
county hospital at FL Centro.
Supervisors voted to pay the
night guards at two airplane listen
ing posts established by order OF
the fourth interceptor command,
the stations at Miller's station and
at Coyote Wells. The irrigation dis
trict and various cities assumed
financial responsibility for some
of the other posts.

Reorganization Of
Guard Muddled

SACRAMENTO, Feb. .. CUP)-
Reorganization of the California
state guard may have to wait 80
days if the attorney general upholds
the belief of Gov. Culbert Olson that
guardsmen are public officials, Olson
announced today.
If officers and privates of the
guard are ruled to be public officials,
Olson said, the urgency clause on
the recent legislative reorganization
bill will not be effective until 80
days from last Saturday when he
signed the measure. The single eX-
ception would be the $8000,000 ap-
preparation, separate part OF the
bill, which is available to finance
the guard on its present unreStrict-

But Wickard told the senate
agriculture committee Saturday that
he conceived his only duty to be
to give farmers parity income. He
stressed the word income and said
this did not mean parity prices.
Parity income, he told the senate
farmers. can be achieved by permit
ting sale of farm commodities at
regular market prices and then CIV
ing the farmer a subsidy TO bring
his return up to parity, He also re-
vealed that he had weapon In
reserve which would effectively keep
prices down.
This weapon consisted OF the grain
and cotton stocks held under loan
by the Commodity Credit corpora

market would undoubtedly force
prices 10 lower levels.
