Chance Flight Of
Bomber DiscIoses
War to Prospector

QUINCY, Cal, July z. CUP)-
Except for the chance flight of a
big bomber over the isolated Little
California gold mine in the Sierra
49, year-old Charles E. Hall might
still be in ignorance that the United
States was at war.
Hall and Ed Evans holed up in
their mine with 2l2 tons of food
last October. Evans Wearied of gold
mining in. February and returned
to his home in Fresno and Hall
didn't see another human being until
last Sunday, when a fisherman
chanced upon the mine.
AS they chatted, the bomber flew
overhead and the fisherman joking
ly remarked, Il hope that isn't 4
Jap"
Hall then found out about the
war, Pearl harbor, the Philippines
and other recent events. Afraid he
was a draft evader, he set out al
most Immediately for the county
seat at Quincy Ito give myself up
to the sheriff"
He registered for selective service
declared $50 pounds of blasting
powder, got a haircut and shave
and then headed back for his mine
In the confusion, no one remember
ed to give him a sugar rationing
book.

for Public Works Director Walter
Heinecke to rent city owned equip

first calling a special meeting of
the board to confirm the rental
The measure was designed to save
time.
A large roller owned by the city

Conflicting Tales
Lead TO Inquiry

Sheriff Robert w. Ware held
Marcial Arambula. 40. in the I'M
perial county Jail Tuesday while
he investigated the conflicting
stories Arambula told after he was
arrested on the Yuma highway by
Los Angeles resident Monday
night for crowding cars off the
highway.
The arrest was made by Frank
Fisher of Los Angeles, who said
Arambula crowded his car off the
highway and before he could run
him down, had forced several other
cars off the road.
A soldiers cap, hat, and some
khaki clothes were in the car Ar
rrnbula drove He said they belong
ed to his brother whom. he had not
seen for two years. Arambula said
he ope"ated chemical plant in
Oxnard, ran a cantina in Santa

pense of American miners were
made before the supervisors by Su-
pervispr M. c. Merrell of Tuolumne
county, president of the County
Supervisors Association of Califor-
mia.
lMerrell was joined in his com
plant by j. p. Hall of Auburn, edi-
tor of the California Mining Journal,
and Supervisor w. ", Pittman OF
Riverside. Together they assembled
report on western tin deposits,
They claimed the U, S. Geological
Survey and the U. S. Bureau OF
Mines was ignoring" rich tin de-
posits at Burns, Ore; Maiuba Hill,
New, and near Corona, Calf.
Merrell asserted that failure TO
develop these tin supplies for the
war effort favors continuance OF
British-Dutch dominance OF the tin
market during and after the war.
Hall said the United States has
entered a convention with Great
Britain, supplementng the lend
lease agreement, whereby British
interests are permitted to develop
strategic mineral deposits in the
United States tax free while Ameri-
can interests must bear all taxes.
The San Francisco supervisors ad-
opted a resolution declaring that
the attitude of the u. S. Geological
Survey and Bureau of Mines, as re-
ported by Hall, Merrell and Pitt
man, seems ineXplicable in the
light of circumstances"
The resolution urged San Fran
ciscos representatives in congress
to request an investigation by con-
gress into circumstances surround
ing failure to develop these tin
deposits and in particular into re-
ported failure of government agen-
cies to support development of these
deposits"
Shortly before the United States
entered the war, Curry county OF
Oregon and SiSkiyOu county Of Cali
fornia talked of seeding from their
respective states and forming a
49th state of Jefferson" because Of
alleged failure of the state govern
ments to develop mineral deposits
in the counties.

Anti.Hobo Drive

Arrests and convictions in
Sheriff Robert w. Wares
month-long drive against ho-
boes riding trains without
paying fare, passed the 100
mark Tuesday and to date had net
ted several men with long criminal
records.
The drive began in Imperial coun :
ty a month ago at the request OF
Gen. j. l.. Dewitt, commander OF
the fourth army and the western
defense command, as a means or
protecting valuable transportation
facilities and agricultural products
against men who might pose as
hoboes and ride trains to get around
the country to carry on their de-
structive work. Ware will continue
the drive.
Longest criminal records to date
against any of the men arrested
and convicted for non-payment OF
railroad fare was against a man
named Ernest, Eibdon. His finger
print record as furnished by the
Federal Bureau of. Investigation in
Washington contained So entries
the first, being dated Aug. IA, 1918
in Tulsa, Okla. The record was
AZ pages in length and the Of
fenses Hibdon was either suspected
Of having committed or convicted
of committing including robbery
petty larceny, shoplifting, suspicion
of being dope addict, possession
of narcotics, and long list of petty
offenSes such as drunkenness. va
grancy, lettering, and the like.
I'VE had nothing against this
man but the charge of evading rail
road fare" Sheriff Ware said, land
he was released after serving the
usual Today county Jail sentence
for this offense. A study of this
mans record indicated the type o!
men who are travelling around the
country. Some of these men to whom
crime is an old story, might be in
duced by saboteurs to destroy agri-
cultural crops in the fields through
which the trains pass or to destroy
railroad property"
The ages of the men arrested for
riding trains free, Ware said, ranged
from II and IL years to more than
go years.
Similar drives against the free
train riders were being carried on
in some other counties in Califor.
mia and in some in Arizona, Ware
was informed

They have just begun ccnscripting

For 48 nourS now the British and
German guns have fired day and
night IN ceaSelesS artillery duel.
The Germans have brought up
heavy pieces which are concentrat-
ing on the British dug-in positions.
The British 80 mile front is stiff
with guns in the words of a head
quarters officer, and for days ]
have been watching more guns ccm-
ing into the lines at racing speed to
reinforce our batteries.
A gunner told me that he had
never fired SO many shells in this
war, though he had fought in
France and Greece, and a German
prisoner said: 1T has been hell
day and night"
1t is still complete mystery why
the German air force is SO weak
in the desert, almost the only planes
we see are those of the Royal All
Force.
1t may be that the Germans have
lost so many planes over Malta and
in the earlier phases of this desert
fighting that they have only a
skeleton force left and do not dare
to draw planes from the Russian
frCnt or from the western front,
in fear of attack by the combined
British and United States air forces
If the British could get a few
hundred more bombers and fighters
from India or elsewhere immed-
lately, they could clinch the issue in

Nation
Results
Seven Months of
War Sees u. S. In
Readiness TO Act

WASHINGTON, July Z.
(UP) - The nation looked
back on seven months of war
today and saw increasing in
dications that the United
States is preparing to lead an Of
fensive against the Axis.
Announcement that U. S. tanks
had been in action in Egypt, that
submarines had sunk three Japa-
nese destroyers off the Aleutian is
lands and that the Army Air Corps
bombing planes had opened an Of
fensive in China, placed American
men or equipment in every theates
of war.
The disclosure Of those actions
came three days after American
bomberS, manned by American crews
attacked German airfields, planes
and installations in Holland and
machine gunned Nazi flying per-
sonel in the Netherlands.
Small though the units and action
may have been it showed that seven
months after Pearl harbor the Unit
ed States was fighting a global war.
American men were fighting over
Europe, in Asia, Africa and the
little outposts of North America.
They were striking at the japanese
every day from Australia.
WEAPONS EVERYWHERE
On fronts where there were no
fighting men, American weapons
were doing their part. American

had cut beet sugar deliveries gen.
orally only l6 per cent up to Nav
81, and that "the selling policy of
your company, or some cause other
than reduction of deliveries under
the rationing program. was respon-
sible for your low deliveries"
1T seems strange to me that
company which has benefited as
your company has under govern
ment sugar legislation should take
such extraordinary steps to insti-
tute propaganda campaign at the
first indication that some sacrifice
may be required of the company in
