Better Enforcement
Of Eight-Hour Law
For Women Urged
Hearing Gets Views on
Proposed Requirement
To Post Schedules

Representatives of the Minimum
Wage and Industrial Safety Board,
the corporation counsel and the
c. I. o. today supported the pro-
posed amendment for better en-
forcement of the eight-hour day for
women when hearings started be-
fore the McGeehe Subcommittee of
the House District Committee.
The hearing will be continued at
10 am. tomorrow. Under the pro-
posal employers are obliged to post
q schedule of hours for women
workers to help the enforcement
authorities. Mrs william Kittle,
chairman of the Minimum Wage
Board, described this as "a piece of
machinery to make enforcement
more effective" She asked that the
posted notice be usable as prima
facie evidence if violation is shown.
At the present time, she said, in
order to get a conviction on a viola
tion watches must be posted to clock
the employees.
Fred S. Walker, labor representa-
tive on the board, supported the
amendment. Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech said he be-
lieved such posted notice would be
admissible as prima facie evidence.
Representative Harris, Democrat,
OF Arkansas argued that If an en-
ploye came to work an hour late
and worked an hour overtime the
employer might be held in viola
ton He said he thought a time
clock would be a more effective
check.
The final witness was Sidney
Katz, secretary-treasurer of the In
dusrial Council, C. I. o. He ia
vored the amendment.

A STRANGE APOSTLE
OF UNITY

(Marysvile Appeal-Democrat)
Probably as peculiar spectacle as this
cock-eyed age has to offer is that of Sec
retary lckes appealing to the country to
cease criticiSing congress for the sake of
national unity. lckes thinks the LAM
pooning of the law makers is going too
far, and quotes Chief Justice Stone to
the effect that the only check upon our
own exercise of power is our own sense
of self restraint
All of which may or may not be good
advice. There is no reason TO rant against
congress, but we have not observed any
general tendency to do that. The country
has criticised congress for the low level
of craftsmanship i'll that body and it has
poked fun at some of the foolish things
congressman have done. such as trying
to put over a salary increase and pen
sions for themselves as part of war
measures. Such criticism is proper. The
prestige of congress has been injured by
the present administration, which has
delegated authority to all kinds of boards
and bureaus, but has insisted on congress
acting as little more than rubber stamp
for the executive. That did not begin in
war time, but long before.
Harold IckeS warning against criticism
is like Mars preaching against war. If
criticism is force for disunity lckes has
contributed his quota for lifetime, even
if he never utters another word. In sea-
son and out of season he has been the ad-
ministration's vituperative loud speaker,
blasting anyone and everyone with whom
he did not agree. Ickes has man-handled
the English language as postmaster of
abuse His present pose as an apostle of
self-restraint proves there is something
new under the sun.

The PASSING OF
JOHN DONOHUE

Death of John W. Donohue took from
Imperial Valley one of its most vigorous
community workers.
The Southern Pacific official was
known to as many people as any other
man in the valley. An acquaintance which
was naturally wide because of his key
position as representative of the railroad
here was increased immensely by his
work in chambers of commerce, veterans
organizations. lodges, service clubs and
other civic enterprises
The aggressive community spirit of the
man was thoroughly demonstrated in the
fact that he was concurrently president
of the Ell Centre chamber of commerce,
commander of Boye Aten Post of the
American Legion and chairman of the Ell
Centre draft board. At other times he
had held as many offices in various or
ganizationS as any other man in the val
ley, and possibly more than any other
man. He was tireless in the duties con-
nected with any office he held
Fortnight, plain spoken, Donohue
knew what he wanted for the community,
and went after it. He was good man
to work with and a hard man to work
against. His two consecutive terms as
president of the Ell Centre chamber of
commerce saw many developments III
the county seat, for a lot of which he was
directly responsible.
1t is as much of a tribute to John Dono-
hue as anything else that with his pass
ing, the things he did will have to be
divided up among several men.
Donohue's passing leaves wide breach
in the community front; his absence will
be keenly felt in many quarters.

there will be no more.

DIRTY LITTLE MAGAZINES

The postoffice departments quiet cru
sade against the dirty little magazines,
which attempt to capitalize upon de-
praved interest in obscenity among GER
tain section of the public deserves more
attention than it is getting. ....,...
1t is as much contribution to national
morale, and possibly more, than, the
squelching of publications which preach
political or economic sedition. For these
magazines which play upon filth strike
directly at the moral fibre of the nation,
and any battlefield today gives you proof
of the importance of such moral fibre.
The circulation of such magazines is
largely among the teen age groups-the
youngsters whose minds and habits are
still being shaped for the future. The in
PRODUCTION into their minds of downright
filth cannot help making worse citizens
of them. Physical and moral weakness
follows. ..t ~.
We believe it is not prudish nor intoler-
ant, but merely common sense, to say
that the nation would be far better off
if every obscene magazine and pamphlet
every filthy publication, no matter
what its nature-were taken off the
market today.

of the British, middle eastern head
quarters announced today.
Cruewell commanded the German
Afrika Korps; Rommel commands

The communique announcing his
capture, revealed that Rommel was
withdrawing tanks from the main
battle area southwest of Tobruk in
an attempt to concentrate his forces
west of the FL Gazala-Bir Hacheim
line.

He was pulling them back through
two gaps in the British mine fields

eastward last week. From the Brit

be a strategic withdrawal, rather
than retreat.

striking power of the swift little craft,
that is born of first hand experience.
with acouple of hundred of these
boats we could sweep the Japs from the
sea-" he is quoted as saying.
Lieutenant Bulkeley may be overstat-
ing the case for this popular weapon. But
the chances are experience in this war
may yet raise the little boats to status
not yet dreamed of They may we'll
change the concepts of the experts as to
what the navy of the future should be.

it has proved that they are helpless If

Perhaps the test between large vessels
and swarms of swift little zip-boats will
come and show up another weakness IN
the larger, slower and more cumbersome
warships. This war as the last war most
probably will result in radical changes
in fighting equipment. One thing IS sure,
the big battleship will go if it proves to
be a liability, and instead of fighting
