1871 In History

The year 1941 will long be stu
died in the history books. Young
sters will be told that it started in
darkness, when Germany had sue
ceeded in gobbling up a dozen OF
more countries. An invasion oi
England by a terrible force from
sky and sea was expected, and
many authorities predicted the con-
quest of the island.
AS the year went on, the clouds
lifted a bit. Germany after having
signed a treaty of friendship with
Russia, suddenly took the oppo-
site course, and hurled its millions
of men and thousands of tanks
and planes against its former asso-
ciate. They expected to overwhelm
the Soviets in about two months.
The soldiers of the steppes proved
better fighters than was supposed.
The American people had hoped
to keep out of the war, but they
could not resist the desire to aid
democratic countries struggling
against invaders. AS a result, with
out warning, the powerful Japan
ese planes and ships descended on
us.
When Germany and Italy de-
clared war on us, the United States
was finally plunged into the bloody
whirlpool. The dictator countries
accomplished one thing they did
not expect, that the land which
they had regarded as a sleepy and
Indifferent aggregation of disput-
ing people suddenly rose in its
wrath and declared war with
speed that no dictator ruled land
could exceed.
1t has been a year of economic
recovery. Around 100000 more
TpeopTe nave0 gone : to- -w6fk. We
dread the lightnings from heaven,
but the dry rot that comes when
men plead for a job, and ordinary
business can find nothing for them,
has mostly passed by. We can see
the sun of hope coming over the
horizon. In due time the world will
say that wars are barbarism's final
hold, and that it is up to us to
make such horrible things impos-
sible.

tire state of California.
Surveys of aircraft and indus
trial plants in the area reveal
that 80 per cent of the employees
60 to and from their work in
their own cars. Bus, street car
and train facilities are entirely
inadequate for the transporta-
ton of this vast army of work
ers, so through the Chamber OF
Commerce and other organiza-
tons and committees, the civil
liam leaders of the area are hard
at work toward a solution.

staggering of work hours, SO
that all public facilities may car

anyone in this area into a tail
spin is to mention industrial
evacuation" There have been
gestures along that line OF
thought from the East; and from
plant owners to day laborers,
such talk drives them wild. They
are here to see it through, to
produce, and they don't believe
they can be bombed out.
It is certainly no military or
political secret that the business
and industrial leaders of this
area are not particularly New
Dealish. They do, however, con-
slider themselves patriotic Amer
leans and are extending their
best efforts toward solving COM
munity problems, as well as con-
tributing everything within their
powers to the national effort.
II was no help to the local
morale, therefore, to have the
LaFollette Committee Report,
dealing with an investigation of
labor conditions made here In
1898, released at this time or
crisis. This report charged the
Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce, and affiliated organiza-
tons covering virtually this en-
tire area of defense and produc-
ton with every social crime now
listed in the calendar, or yet to
be invented.
The report certainly wasn't a
contribution to the defense or
war effort.
Viewed from this end of the
line, il was pure needing" and
is regarded here as something
that was written "for the rec
ord" for Senator LaFollette's po-
litical future, which will be an
swered in due time.

even to the extent of drafting
private non-essential cars, and
so on.
It is believed that the stagger-
ing of hours should serve to re-
lieve the present traffic conges-
tion-and thus cut down the
waste of war workers precious
time-in this sprawling city. II
is estimated, for instance, that
more than so per cent of persons
now entering downtown Los An
geles travel in private automo-
biles. The widespread regular
use of private cars becomes more
understandable when you rea-
lie that Los Angeles has a pop
ulation of 1904, 600 scattered
through an area of $50 squares
miles, whereas 7,455,000 New
Workers live within 800 square
miles and 3,397,OO Chicagoans
live within 213 square miles.
Thus it is simpler and less costly
to provide public transportation
facilities for the concentrated
populations of New York and
Chicago.
The Los Angeles civilian lead
ers face the problem realisti-
cally. On the basis of tire sta
tistics they foresee the passing of
1-3 of the cars, trucks, etc. from
use in this area within a year il
the present situation continues,
and they do not intend to be
caught mapping.
Plans for the laying of more
street car rails, building of new
railroad spurs, and other changes
are being considered. With clear,
open roads the year round, it is
nothing uncommon for both
men and women in this area TO
live fifty miles from their offices
or shops and drive this distance
daily. So, it's problem, but the
leaders are on the ball.

busy making surveys and study
ing ways and means of maintain

crisis.
A warm March sun is shining
in Southern California. The
skies are cloudless and the moon
bathes the countryside in its soft
glow at night. The widely adj
vertised climate of this proud
section is still here-but the
tourists aren't. The swank no.
tells have few guests.
NIGHT LIFE is
DYING OUT
One by one, well-known night
clubs have closed. Smart hotels
have orchestras twice week,
not nightly. The thoughts of
business and civic leaders are
turned into national and inter-
national channels, to problems
of defense organization, and pro-
duction. Conversation among
friends has to do with exchang-
ing experiences during the re-
cent whatever it was" when
the anti-aircraft guns let loose.
In other words, it's war in South
ern California, and there's no
complacency in the leadership.
To appreciate the Number 1
civilian problem of transpOrta-
ton, which ties in directly with
industrial production, it must be
remembered that the Los An
geles area-now such a vital
spots one of the few areas of
the country which was devel-
oped almost entirely since the
advent of the automobile. In
short, the vast sprawling COM
munity, which is now one of the
key centers of the country, was
literally built on rubber.
Vast highways and boulevards
stretch in all directions. Los
Angeles county has an area of
4064 square miles and includes
IS incorporated cities. There are
5000, 600 registered motor vehi.

Death
Claims
Alex Dow

DETROIT, March % ~
Death has taken Alex Dow,
friend and counsellor to captains
Of industry, one of tie. builders
of Detroit, and beloved figure in
the motor city's business and So
cial life.
The former president OF tie
Detroit Edison company, whose
growth he guided while Detroit
came to world fame, died at 3
am. Sunday of pneumonia in
University Hospital at Ann Ar
Dor. He had taken cold a week
ago. On April IL Dow would
have been 80 years old.
Much Of Detroits history In
development to the worlds auto
mobile production center was
written around Alex Dow, but
he himself had little to do with
automobiles.
In face, like q number Of 9TH
ers, he had declined an offer to
acquire interest in Henry Ford's
Company.
Ford's former boss, Dow was
q Detroit Edison executive when
the automobile magnate Of the
future was an engineer employee.
Dow was also q friend of Thomas
Edison. It was through Dow that
Edison and Ford became ac-
quainted.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland,
Dow came to the United States
in 1882 after having spent sew
eral years as a clerk for the Oun-
ard Steamship Line IN Liver
pool. Often he was at sea and
he spent his spare time In ships
engine rooms.
A practical result Of that,
along with military engineering
training, was that he found .
lob in the new electric light In
dustry with a Cleveland COM
pany.
When 81, Dow came to De-
troit to build q municipal light
Ing plant. This led to his becom-
ing vice president and general
manager in 1895 of the Edison
Illuminating Company, later the
Detroit Edison Company. He
was elected president of Detroit
Edison in 1912 and ED the posi-
ton until 1910 when he resign
ed. BY then Dow had become
known as "Detroit's most useful
citizen"
Dow held honorary degrees
from several universities and
was a member of engineering So
cieties. The family home Is in
Barton Hills, near Ann Arbor.
Surviving are Mrs. Dow, four
children, and eight grandchil-
dren. Members of the family
made a public request today that
friends refrain from sending
flowers to the funeral, suggest
ing instead that funds be con-
tributed to the Red Cross.
Services will be conducted
Wednesday at st. A n d W 5
church in Ann Arbor with burial
in Baltimore, Md, birthplace of
Mrs. Dow.

''These days of crisis h ave

of the strength which religion "a

''The crisis of the world today

tending is the right to be free.
The Christian conception of man

Nazi conception Of man created
