HattOn Again Mayor as
Moore Becomes Police
Commissioner Here

The Ell Centre city council
held a "secret session" Tues
day afternoon.
Well, it wasn't quite secret,
because a reporter had got
ten wind of it, and he was there.
ooh, a meeting!" said the re-
porter.
Sure" said Councilman Charles
Bratton. "There's one empty chair"
He gestured invitingly.
A most pregnant silence among
other councilmen.
May / come IMP" said the re-
porter meekly.
The same kind of a silence.
Finally, Councilman P. l.. Moore
said, why not? I've got nothing
to hide from the public"
So the reporter entered, and the
door was closed. And everybody
said great deal of nothing for five
minutes. Moore broke the ice by
saying, alright, what did we come
here for? Let's get going"
BUSINESS STARTED
And they got going. with some
embarrassment at first.
They wanted to know who was
going to be mayor. Bob Hatton
nominated Moore, and Moore nom
mated Hatton. Councilmen He'll and
Bratton nominated Moore. Council
man H. w. FaWcett nominated
Moore.
FaWcett nominated Moore Tor

The meeting was adjourned.

The United States war depart
ment is using Imperial Valley as
a vast testing and proving ground
for all types of desert equipment
machinery, motor equipment and
wearing apparel with Camp Seeley
functioning as headquarters.
Tests go on continually in var
ious areas of Imperial Valley which
was selected as the proving ground
because the climate and terrain
resemble those in the Libyan des-
ert in Africa.
Various departments and branch
es of the war department send in
their equipment along with crews
to do the oesting and proving.
Tires, trucks, fighting machinery
and equipment, canteens, mess kits,
clothing, hats, are included among
the types of equipment. The mo-
tors are being tested for wear and
dust resistance. Rubber companies
send in civilian technicians to

London communique, which said the
Germans were driven back and
their coastal defenses penetrated
while the British naval forces off
shore blasted two armed enemy
trawlers. British casualties were
light But behind the new raid by
the COMMUNICATIVE may be join
ed soon by American units - was
a series of important developments
suggesting that the united nations
are determined to open second
front" in one way or another to
aid the Russians this summer
Dispatches from the eastern front
told of Red army attacks that broke
into the German defense line on the
central sector, presumably the gen.
eral area of SmolenSk, where 40
villages were taken in an advance
that was continuing despite hard
tank battles. Russian forces also
were reported to have broken into
the Finnish front on three sectors
and advanced six miles.
BLOW UP ASKED
These successes encouraged de-
mands in the British parliament for
close military collaboration with the
Russians and for opening of. a sec
ond front in Europe, where the
labor peer, Lord Strabolgi, said that
he hoped there would be a blow
up" very soon.
Lord Selborne, replying to Stra-
bolgi, limited that an American
British invasion of Europe was dis
cuSsed during the recent visit to
London of Gen. George G. Marshall,
American chief of staff, pointing
out that such a move would natur-
ally be of great strategic import
ance this summer.
The British ministry of economic
warfare also said that the Germans
were diverting more than half of
the French cement output-about
100000 tons this year-to building
defenses on the French coast. SIM
liar precautions were reported taken
by the Germans in the low coun-
tries and Norway.
FRENCH REPRESSION
But the greatest fears of the
Germans appeared to be conferred
on France, where their success in
getting Pierre Laval back into pow
er at Vichy appeared to be the sig
nal for harsh new repressive meas
ures against anti-axis terrorists.

'atfalrS OF the clerks O1IlCe Idlrly
and efficiently, Hatton proposed
that Cavin's salary be slashed right
down the middle, from $3.50 to $125
per month.
The smaller salary is the sum
which is provided for in the city
ordinance. But by giving the clerk
a number of other duties and titles,
the council always has been able
to make the clerks job a fairly re-
munerative one. Gavin, for instance,
has been drawing an additional $125
to exercise the functions of tax
assessor, purchasing agent, collector
of occupational and dog taxes and
compiler of water bills.
DISUNITY CHARGED
All of these operations, Hatton
told the council, have really been
conducted by others in the city
government" and he added that
there is mo harmony between the
clerk and the council"
Gavin said in effect you can't
do this to me, because I was elected
to this office"
1t was the consensus of opinion,
however, that majority of the
council not only CAN do this" to
the clerk, but it will be done. Action
was expected at the next council
meeting
The whole thing was said to be
an outgrowth of a feud among
Gavin, Hatton, and Councilman P.
L. Moore and H. W. FaWcett.
NEGLECT CHARGED
Hatton charged that Gavin not
only neglected his duties as city
clerk, with the result that "the
books hadn't been balanced from
June to October" but that he stuck
his nose in the campaign, and open

Tokyo Shows Interest

BY UNITED PRESS

Japan revealed Wednesday
that it's military attache to
Russia was returning home,
and Axis broadcasts indicat-
ed that the Japanese were taking
a surprising interest in Portugal.
A Tokyo radio dispatch said Col.
Machitake Yamaoke, Japanese mil
itary attache at the embassy at Qui-
byshev, had left Hsingking Tues
day night for Tokyo.
A German broadcast announced
that Kaizo Inone, new air attache
to the Japanese legation at Lisbon,
had paid his first call on Portu-
guese military authorities Monday.
Only Tuesday, Tokyo had an
nounced the restoration of wireless
telephone service between Tokyo
and Lisbon, with all calls TO be
made in the Japanese language.
Berlin reported incidentally that
Bulgaria had agreed to supply 5000
automobile tires to Japan.
Apropos the news that the Japa-
nese military attache to Russia had
gone home, radio Melbourne quoted
Chinese advices Wednesday that
the Japanese had heavily reinforced
their troops in inner Mongolia,
where in the last few years they
suffered heavily in frontier fighting
with Russian troops based on outer
Mongolia.
1t was noted also that Prince
Teh, ruler of inner Mongolia under
the Japanese, was not on a state
visit to the emperor of Japanese
dominated Manchukuo.

hibitionS against wage increases
may be combined with rationing of
all consumer products and general
price ceilings-even on most COM
mon food products-to stop the
spiral of initiation.
Informed senate sources have re-
vealed that the President will tell
congress in his message Monday,
and the nation in a fireSide chat
later, that dangerously rising living
costs must be stopped now if any
semblance of the American standard
of living is to be preserved.
The Presidents program, still sub
iect to revision, was said to include:
l. A 80 per cent excess profits
tax on all corporation earnings over
six per cent of capitalization. A 100
per cent rate, it was feared, would
violate the constitutions prohibition
of confiscation.
