|. Y. Scrap Drive
Successful FIop

Imperial Valleys scrap metal CAM
paign was both a success and flop
Friday.
The scrap was here, which made
the drive a success. The fact that
it was here also made the drive
failure. 1t should be in coast
smelter for conversion into mater
ials for tanks and ships and guns.
But it was here hundreds of tons
of it, piled mountain high in the
junk yard of dynamic Sam Naliboft.
And it looks as though 1t would
remain here for the duration.
Naliboff can't get it hauled. Rea-
son he can't get it hauled, is that
there is an acute shortage of truck
ing facilities. Naliboff thought he
had the truck shortage licked, when
he finally made up his mind to
buy a new truck and do his own
hauling But alas and alack, he
hadn't seen nothing yet.
To buy a new truck, you've gotta
make formal application to office
for emergency management, Los
Angeles. Naliboff made applica-
ton. Two days later he went to
Los Angeles and called ON the head
man of the office for emergency
management.
He found that official, name OF

Mexican Congress
Begins Action on
War Declaration
Representatives Move
To Legalize Status of
Country Since May %

MEXICO CITY. May %.
(UP)-Congress began act
ing today on President Man.
uel Avila Camacho's request
that it declare Mexico has
been at war with the Axis since May
o.
The senate and the chamber of
deputies met. The deputies must
approve the declaration before the
senate can act, but it was expected
that both will have approved it by
Tuesday, at the latest.
Avila Camacho, denouncing the
ruthless aggression" of Germany,
Italy and Japan in a Commute
speech before an extraordinary ses-
sion of congress, left no doubt that
he expected speedy and affirmative
action.
AS the nation already was at war,
he said, Mexico expects every son
to do his duty" Deputy Emilio Gu
tierrez Roldan. president of the ses-
sion, assured him that congress
would approve his decision.
Manuel Tello, director general OF
the diplomatic service. said the for
eign office, 'as a matter of course"
had advised Mexican diplomats
abroad of Avila Camacho's speech,
but that they had not been instruct
ed to inform friendly governments
that Mexico already was in a state
OF war with the Axis.
That would be impossible, be-
cause congress has not yet made
the declaration" he said.
Avila Camacho asked the declara-
ton be made retroactive to May %.
because that was the day the cabinet
decided to ask for a declaration
of war, the Axis having answered an
ultimatum about the sinking of one
Mexican ship by sinking second.

boff's version of what happened:
There he sat. with his feet on
the desk. and with big black
cigar IN his teeth. He was blowing
smoke rings.
"How's about that truck" Mali
boff said he asked Bevans.
What truck?" inquired Bevans,
blowing more smoke rings.
THE truck l wanna buy said
Naliboff.
"Oh, that truck" said Bevans, as
he poured out still another smoke
screen. II never heard Of it, he
added, and told Nallboff he had to
make application in writing for a
truck.
But I did make application"
Naliboff said he told Bevans.
Yes, he sure did" spoke up Bev-
ans secretary. TITS around here
some place"
And she looked everywhere, in
cluding the waste paper basket, and
located the application.
"Bevans locked at it, crossed his
legs, blew some more smoke rings,
and said l couldn't buy truck" !"
Naliboff recounted.
He said Bevsns told him my de-
cision probably wouldn't stand up
under an appeal" and told Naliboff
how to appeal. He even gave Mali
boff the address of the appeal
beard. Naliboff has appealed.

He'll Remain Loyal
Waterfront Labor Head
Turns Thumbs Down on
Mass Demonstrations

SAN FRANCISCO, May
20. (UP) = Harry Bridges,
vice president of the Con-
gress of Industrial Organ
izations and powerful union
leader of West Coast waterfront
workers, awaited arrest for deporta-
ton today but pledged his contin-
ued, whole-hearted support of the
war effort.
AS soon as he is arrested, his at
torneys will apply in federal court
for writ of habeas corpus. This
will permit his release on bond,
and, regardless of the decision, there
will be appeals up to the supreme
court. This meant that if this last
avenue of escape is eventually clos
ed to him, Bridges can't be deported
for at least year.
Irwin WiXon, head of the U. S.
immigration service. understood a
deportation warrant was being tele-
graphed from Washington. When it
arrives he will take Bridges into
CuSUOuy.
Bridges telegraphed War Produc-
ton Director Donald Nelson that
he would oppose any demonstration
of sympathy on the part of his fol-
lowers or organized labor generally
that might interfere with war pro-
ductiOn.
He asserted that the justice de-
partment order was based on mis-
statements, prejudice and perjured
testimony which have characterized
the entire case.
Even if the deportation order is
eventually effected-and in that
respect we have just begun to fight
