GOVERNOR OLSON'S
NEWEST BLUFF
Davis Enterprise)

(DaVlS enterprise
Governor Olson's trip to Washington
reminds one of running to papa for help.
Yes yes, we know he went to see about
additional funds for the aged" but only
the bindest will be hoodwinked by such
bluff
We believe. in his desperation, the gov
ernor beseeched the White House for
help. Furthermore, no stones are being
left unturned to send the heads of the
two great labor organizations of the
country to the far west, nor it would not
surprise anyone to see continuous par
ade of big-wigs to California right up
until November as an aid to the found
ering Olson.
The primary definitely determined that
the Olson administration is unable to
stand on its own merits. The people
of the state are we'll fed up with many
of its tactics and are suspicious of its
moves This isn't an overnight affair,
but the result of a continuous multiplied
tion of items that reached crescendo
at the August primary.
The records of the past four years
are indelible. They overShadOw definite
ly the governors silly assumption that
newspapers of the state fooled" people
into voting against him. Furthermore,
that assumption is an insult to the intel
ligence of those voters and an attack on
their reasoning powers But any excuse
is better than none.
Like person drowning, he has grabbed
at straws and if the President does make
a trip to the west coast ito inspect war
production" you may be sure he will be
begged to intercede.
Will the President invite another New
York upset?

HEAVIEST RAID
There was no official estimate
of the number of planes partici-
pating in the raid, but authorita-
tive sources said 1T can be as
sumed that it was the heaviest
raid of the war on Italy"
(Radio Rome said the British
planes struck at Turin as well as
Genoa, and admitted considerable
damage" at the latter place. 1t
said two planes were shot down.
(The Italilais said the attack
was carried out in several waves,
with the Raj bombers dropping
explosives and incendiary bombs
which caused damage to civilian
buildings" Hours after tie raid,
Radio Rome reported that rescue
squads still were digging civilians
from the debris in Genoa
26TH FOR ITALY

LAND ACTION SCARCE

LAND ACTION SCARCE
The battle of the Solomons has
been in progress for 79 days EX-
cept for the first few days there
has been relatively little land ac-
ton. The enemy flank attack
Tuesday was the first land action
reported since the Marines staged
a two days offensive beginning Oc-
tober 8, which resulted in extern
sion of American positions west
ward of the airfield on Guadal-
canal. The enemy suffered many
casualties then.
The only other action reported,
for last Tuesday-the last day of
specific reports from the Solomons
was the destruction of a japanese
bomber that night, apparently on
a reconnaissance mission over
Guadalcanal. Anti-aircraft guns
brought it down, raising to 353 the
total of Japanese planes destroyed

BIG BATTLE COMING

in the SOlOmOnS.
BIG BATTLE COMING
Enemy troops which landed on
Guadalcanal early last week pre-
sumably participated in the flank
attack. The area in which the at
tack occurred is heavily Woooed,
sloping ground-foothills of the
Kavo range which extends through
the middle of Guadalcanal like
backbone at a height of more than
5000 feet.
Whether the "feeler' attack pres
aged a large scale assault was just
a guess. But officials here still
expect a big battle soon.
Rear Admiral j. S. Mccain, who
directed certain air activities in the
Solomons before he came here to
head the Bureau of Aeronautics,
told a Navy labor conference:
Hell will break loose in the
South Pacific at any moment"

FIGHTING CONTINUES

The Soviet noon communique,
however, reported continued fierce
fighting with German infantry and
tanks around a factory fortress in
northwestern Stalingrad. Enemy
infantry split off from the tanks
and two penetrated the factory,
but were disabled by Soviet guns.
Suffering heavy losses, the Ger
mans fell back to positions from
which they have not advanced in
three days.
Five German planes were shot
down.
On some streets, the Russians
counterattacked, and the Germans,
compelled to take the defensive,
feverishly began fortifying half
ruined buildings, the foundations of
houses and dugouts. The Germans
tried to make sorties and capture
individual houses, but dispatches
said the Russians were gaining
more than the Germans.
LOSSES MOUNT
The army organ Red Star, esti-
mated that the Germans had lost
upwards of 70 per cent of their
effectives and 60 per cent of their
materials, but had replaced them.
Red Star said % divisions still
were attacking-15 of infantry
(225, 900 mem, three motorized di-
visions and two tank divisions.
The Germans also were using 500
tanks, 1900 guns, 100 mortarS and
800 planes, Red Star estimated
Dispatches reported the 400 coun-
terattacking Rumanians also were
moved down.
CAUCASUS HOLDS
German drives in the Caucasus
were beaten practically to a stand
still. The only threat to Russian
lines in the Mozdok area of the
eastern Caucasus, a wedge which
the Germans drove yesterday, was
liquidated today and 200 Germans
killed.
The Germans, trying to drive a
few miles from the Terek Valley
near Mobdok to the Crozny oil
fields, have gained little or moth
ing in the last month.
In the western Caucasus, south
east of Novorossisk, former Soviet
Black Sea base, the Germans were

American communique announced
today
Maj. Gen. Joseph Stilwell's COM

Both high explosive and incen-

LET'S GET OUT OF
THE WILDERNESS

John Phillips would have our vote for
u. S. congressman for one reason alone,
if for no other.
The gentlemen who influence = even
virtually direct-committee appointments
i'm Washington have assured Phillips that,
if elected. he may be appointed to the
house committee on agriculture. No MEM
Der of the California delegation is at pres
ent on that committee; congress, In fact,
has been practically blind for many years
to western agriculture. We have been
disregarded so completely we might as
we'll be in a wilderness.
Phillips, with thorough knowledge
of the problems and needs of the farmers,
and with a history of cooperation with
the farmer and work on the Farm Debt
Adjustment Commission, as we'll as SER
vice on numerous agricultural and irriga-
ton committees, is admirably fitted to
represent not only this district, but the
whole state of California, on this i'm
portant house committee.
There are other reasons, however, for
our belief that Phillips should be elected
representative from the new Imperial
Orange Riverside congressional district.
Perhaps the simplest way to explain one
of these reasons is to advise our readers
to do as we did.
Talk to Phillips, then talk to his op-
ponent. After that, listen to Phillips in
public speech, and listen to his opponent
in public speech. Then decide which
of the two men you would rather have as
a representative in congress. The test Is
simple enough, and ultimately fair. We
believe we know what your decision will
be.
Phillips is an individualist in legisla-
tive activities. He votes and acts accord
ing to the issue at stake, not according to
the dictates of some political bosses. The
best proof of the fact is that Phillips, in
the state legislature, has supported
normally hostile administration IN all
matters of general public interest, has
even handled some administration bills
and had the highest percentage of bills
signed of any member of equal standing
i'm either senate or assembly. He drew
the wrath of opposing party politicians
because of his leadership of the economy
bloc. which saved the state of California
many thousands of dollars, and we are
inclined to believe the people will applaud
rather than decry this activity of his.

Japs Seeking Soft Spot

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-CU.P)
The japanese today were believed
looking for soft spots" in Ameri-
can defense positions on Guadal-
canal through which to drive a big
offensive.
They already have tried on feel
er" attack on the western flank
cf the American lines, but the spot
didn't prove to be so soft. The
Marine and Army defenders re-
pulsed the attackers.
There was almost a complete abb
sence of information on other as
poets of the battle of the Solomons,
although the Navy said no report
of any material change in the mill
tary situation had been received
through late yesterday.

THE STATES LOSS is
THE DISTRICTS GAIN

Senator Philips may go to Washington
as a representative from this district,
but had the fates decreed a bit different
ly. he would today be running for COVER
nor. Phillips was in line for nomination
in that contest, and had been promised
statewide support for strong campaign.
1t was out of respect for Earl Warren
that he finally filed for the congression-
al post, instead of the gubernatorial one.
The fact that Phillips was among the
foremost potential candidates for COVER
nor may be unimportant in itself, but in
its implications it means much to the vot-
ers of this district 1t means, chiefly,
that Phillips has the wholesome respect
of those important men whom he has as
sociated, and that their evaluation OF his
ability is extremely high.
Going to Washington-where, inciden-
tally, he is already known-Phllllps
would be able Immediately to take an
active hand in the work to which he IS
elected. He would command the respect
of his fellow legislators, and his voice
would be listened to. Since we know his
Judgment to be sound, we can ask nothing
more of our representative to congress.
