FIRST DIVIDE ENDS FROM
THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES

If you think the coming Of Pittsburgh 5
Pirates. National League baseball club
to FL Centre Feb "a for a spring train
ing session is a thing of interest solely
to sports fans, then think again.
If all of Imperial Valleys chamber Of
commerce secretaries got together they
couldn't do better than this:
"FI Centre is located in the Imperial
Valley, which is part of the great Col
orado desert. where winter temperatures
hover around so degrees yet nights are
cool. frostS are extremely rare, fogS are
unknown rain seldom falls, electrical
storms are unheard Of and snow never Is
seen. 1t was while the Pirates were barn
storming in FL Centro last spring that
both tBilD Benswanger (preSldent OF
the PirateS) and (frankie) FriSch (man-
ager) pronounced the town an ideal place
for training. Sunshine is an important
factor in developing athletes and plenty
of it is found in this famous valley.
Only. if the chamber Of commerce sec
retaries did it, the ultimate destination

quotations above weren't taken from any
waste basket. They came from the Pitts
burgh Post-Gazette. one of the steel me-
tropolis' most widely read newspapers;
Those lines were read by thousands OF
persons in the snow-bound east.
AS the season goes along. additional
scores of items concerning the Pirates
will mention the name of imperial Val
ley. and will carry to millions of people
throughout the country the knowledge
that this is the sort Of place the experts
come to when they are looking for ideal
weather. That is the sort of publicity
that cannot be bought: it is the KIND OF
thing that started Phoenix on the way
to becoming one of the nations fore
most winter resort areas.
The Pirates are already doing lot of
good for Imperial Valley. The least we
can do is to welcome them warmly, en-
tertain them whole-heartedly. and wish
them all the luck in the National League.
They're the Pittsburgh's Pirates, per-
haps. but they're El Centro's team now.
Let's back them up to the limit.

ARGENTINA MAKES HAY

There are a lot of kinds Of war profit
eering. and one of them is international.
Argentina. the racketeer of South Amerl-
can politics, currently is doing her best
to squeeze few profits out of the world S
misery. Particularly, she IS Interested
in milking Uncle Sans pocketoook tor
all the traffic will bear.
On the surface, Argentina is baking
nightly against a solid Western Heml-
spheric break in relations with axis ma
tions. To all Indications she is the only
one Of the South American nations which
wants to continue dealing with Germany,
Italy and Japan Just for the sake OF deal
ing with them.
Judging from the record, however, we
say that what Argentina really IS after is
a new flock of economic concessions from
the United States-cOnesslons like the one
that threatened to hit our flax farmers so
hard. and would have done so except for
the shipping shortage. We've bought Al
qentine beef. we've cut the tariff on Ar
gentine flax-we've all but given them
our shirt as it is.
It seems that the time has about come
to quit trying to buy Argentine support
Or at least to get the support before
we pay the first installment. SO far
we've bought nothing but bad promises.

Judge Charles G. Marbury OF the
Prince Georges County Circuit
Court announced yesterday that
the grand jury will be called Friday
at Upper Marlboro to consider the
case OF Frank Haywood, 81, col
ored, of Lakeland, Md, accused OF

dition to that of criminal assault,

that If the grand jury returns an
indictment Friday the case may
be tried before the petty jury next
week.
