step-long considered military
necessity in many United Nations
circles-brought neither confirma-

House.
Thus far the United Nations have
formed only regional commands,
such as those in India, the south
west Pacific, China and the Middle
East The creation of a European
theater of operations for American
troops under Maj. Gen. Dwight D
Eisenhower, however, led to belief
that a united command might be
set up in Great Britain. President
dent Roosevelt nominated Eisen-
hover yesterday for promotion to
Lieutenant General.
Speculation as to what leader the
United Nations might be able to
agree upon centered upon Marshall.
Unofficial discussions of the pos
sibility of supreme command
reached a peak after Marshall's trip
to Great Britain several weeks ago
during which he discussed war

In the meantime Mayor Robeyt
Hatton of Ell Centro pointed out
that there are many persons in FL

who are afraid to give their old

cause they think they have to turn
them in to the rationing board.
These people may take their old
tires to a service station, turn them
in to the salvage campaign and get
a receipt to show the rationing
board" Hatton said. "They will
have to have a receipt but they do
not need to hold on to their tires.
1t will help reach Ell Centro's quota
if these tires are turned in"
Again M. o. Simms, one of the
leaders in the Imperial county rub

farmers collect the rubber on their
farms and take 1t to a filling sta
ton themselves or telephone an

ToAvoid Desert
Should Stay Away from
Isolated Sections
Because of Poor Tires

Beware of the d e ser
wastes in summer!
Sheriff Robert w. Ware
Wednesday warned the mo-
toring public to stay out Of
the uninhabited, isolated sections
of Imperial county this summer as
much as possible because of the
danger of tires going bad and leav-
ing the motorist and his passengers
stranded.
Many tires are none too good
this year because of tire rationing
preventing the purchase of new
ones needed by the general public
Sheriff Ware said. Car or tire
trouble on lonely desert roads and
trails means that it is unlikely that
other motorists will come along and
help. These stranded motorists and
their passengers usually become
frightened and wander away from
their cars, making it still more un-
likely that they will be found be-
fore death overtakes them. Without
water death comes quickly in these
high summer temperatures, especial
