SAFETY VALVE
wall Street JournaD

(Wall Street JOurnaD
1t was from a traffic cop that we re-
ceived some years ago the idea that Mus
Solini did not amount to so much after
all
We had just seen that picture of Mus
sOlini where he stands with his chest
thrown out, head back arm extended for
ward and looking quite stern indeed. At
that very moment we happened to look
out the window and there was traffic
cop, stopping the flow of automobiles,
starting them again and doing it all with
the bored air of man who wishes the
6 o'clock whistle would blow very soon.
Here was just an ordinary American ex-
ercising power without antics and fan
fare and people were doing what he told
them to- And there was Mussolini who
had to put on a lot of funny clothes and
make faces about exercising authority.
We mention this matter at this time
because we read in the news columns that
in Philadelphia the decrease in motor
traffic has raised in the breasts of traf-
fic policemen the fear that they may be
transferred to outlying districts to guard
war plants.
Traffic cops should be let alone They
are not an institution to tamper with in
any circumstances. If Mussolini could
have been a traffic cop, it would probably
have satisfied him and he would have
left the Italians in peace. And If there
are no traffic cops, at whom would the
populace in general grouse? It's dan
gerous to leave people without an out
let for their grouches and the beauty of
the traffic cop being the object is that
he does not mind. He knows he will have
the last word.

MOSCOW, Ma; 28 tUP) - Reu
army forces have halted the Ger
man counterdrive on their left flank
below Kharhov where German
troops, wearing Russian uniforms
and using tanks and planes mark
ed with Soviet emblems, have been
thrown into confusion attacks y
advices from the front said today
At several points along the 35-
mile Izyum and Barvenkova sector
20 miles south of Kharhov, the
Russians were said to have seized
the initiative after hating the
enemy'S eastward drive.
The Germans we're said to have
sent two Rumanian regiments into
battle in an effort to throw back
Soviet troops which crossed a
strategically important river, but
the Rumanians suffered heavy loss
eS and retreated.
SNEAK ATTACK
A dispatch to the Communist
party newspaper Pravda said that
German soldiers wearing Red army
uniforms, Nazi tanks carrying Red
flags, and planes marked Win 90
Wet Red Stars were used in an eff
fort to confuse and disrupt the
Russian forces.
The disguised Germans appar-
ently sought to infiltrate into the
Soviet rear.

strategically important river in in
flated rubber boats in face OF dl-
rect German cannon and machine
gun fire, established a bridgehead

CONFUSION

Here we go again.
Henderson, Eastman, 1ckes, ct al, have
been drumming into our eardrumS Tor
davs without end the information that
the United States is on its last tire. Ac-
cording o them, they cannot emphasize
enough the fact that every tire should
be treated like "a carat diamond. They
say they're even going to ration gasoline
everywhere in the country, not because
gasoline is scarce, but so people won
be able to drive more than couple OF
miles a day, and thus can't wear out their
tires.
Then comes the President.
He's not particularly worried about the
tire situation, Mr. Roosevelt says. Rub
ber he admits, is precious and scarce.
But American ingenuity, he insists, is
already developing substitutes which Will
keep the cars on the road, even II the
rubber is unobtainable. There'll be other
kinds of tires. he intimates, which Will
allow motorists to drive safely at 70 to
35 miles an hour, and so get where they've
got to go.
All of which leaves us a bit mixed up.
Here we were, all set to accept worry
about tires as a part of our daily lie.
In fact, we'd sort of accepted the worry
as an inevitable thing, because so many
of the people who should know had been
telling us so often that it was inevitable.
Then the President, who should know
above all others who should know, Intl-
mates that there's not so much to worry
about, after all.
What we'd like to know is, who's Great
ing confusion now?

THE PEOPLE
ARE READY

Test notifications of civilian defense
workers in Imperial Valley cities, includ-
ing the latest in Ell Centre, have demon
strated one thing above all others.
The rank and file workers in the de-
fense setup are prepared to meet what
ever emergency arrives.
In all of the valley cities, great deal
can be said in tribute to those who have
organized and planned the homo defense
systems, but it is to the ordinary workers
the block wardens, the auxiliary po-
lice, the first aid workers and others
like them, that the principal honor goes.
Without them, no amount of planning
would do any good. If they fell down
on their Jobs, all the organization IN the
world would be useless.
They have not fallen down. In the
tests, they have proved their intelligence,
their trustworthineSS and their alertness.
These test notifications were intended
primarily to discover and correct what
ever faults might exist in the various or
ganizations for home defense. They un-
doubtedly uncovered in each city IN
stances in which improvements can be
made That was to be expected. The
marvellous thing was that there were not
more such instances.
Imperial county can be proud OF the
spirit of its citizens in the war emergen-
cv. Many of them work tirelessly, with
scant recognition, at airplane spotter
posts. attending classes of instruction,
learning duties completely alien to their
normal pursuits, giving unstintingly Of
time and effort so that we may be pro-
tected against that which may come.
The adults are not alone in deserving
recognition. Youth has its part In every
defense organization, as anyone must
recognize who has watched the Boy
Scouts. for instance, under mobilization
conditions.
When the role of Americas defense
workers is called, Imperial county can

of the interview, as recorded by

There was no sign of any enemy
patrol activity when the sub bob
bed up along the coastline. With
the calmness of the night the town
of Santa Barbara was tWinkling with
beacon lights of all types and the
oil storage tanks and derrickS were
clearly visible
SCENE LIGHTED
Along the coastal highway the
speeding cars threw the glare OF
headlights into the night and the
entire coastal area presented
peaceful, unWarlike scene.
when the first shot was fired
from the submarine, there were
Immediately signs of CONSERVATION
and those on the submarine heard
the sounds of the shrieking distant
sirens.
Everyone on board the submar-
inc quickly forgot the hardshipS
they encountered in crossing from
Japan when the first shells shat
tered the night, and the second and
third shots set the target on fire.
"All the crew shouted for joy and
threw their arms around each other.
Il can still remember the pain
full bristles on the chin of one of
my men who hit my cheek, (said
the officer, passing his hand over
his tanned face). After making
sure that we had set fire to all
the Gil tanSs in that area, the sub
marine submerged and disappeared
under the waves.
Asked whether the raid was tim
ed to coincide with President Roose-
velt's fireside chat the officer said
That he didn't know about it but
saw in the news later that the at
tack occurred when President Roose-
velt was making another one Of
his bad plans against the Axis
