Professor
Fears
Initiation

CHICAGO, Oct. 16 up -
c. L. Jamison, professor of Bus
mess Policy at the University OF
Michigan. believes that the high
wages which are Turing office
workers into war plants and
factories are setting in motion
inflationary forces which reduce
the purchasing power OF office
employees and cause widespread
discomfort.
Jamison, in an address at q
meeting of the American Man.
agement Association yesterday,
said that employers whose gross
incomes have not increased with
rising prices or the tempo Of
war work have not been able to
compete with higher wages Of
fered elsewhere.
The Presidents recent wage

leaves 80 much to the discretion
Of the Economic Sterilization
Board" that it could be consid-
cred an additional obstacle. He
declared that employers are not
certain they can raise wages of
office workers within q certain
bracket where able to compete
with factory wage scales.
The prerequisites and high ap-
praisals Of white collar jobs"
no longer compensate for the
difference in wage levels be-
tween office and fatory workers,
Jamison told the association
members.
The large influx Of office
workers into military service
and war plants was cited by
Jamison as adding to the seri-
business of the office managers
problems.
Ordway Tead, chairman of the
Board of Higher Education of
New York City, urged closer un-
Outstanding and agreement be-
tween management and office
workers to obtain maximum eff
ficiency. Achieving among en-
ployes more sympathetic iden-
tity with the company's inter-
ests, not the payment of higher
wages alone, would help solve
the current office problems,
Tead said.

Floods Block
Virginia Roads
Third Of State
Hit by Storms

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 16 -
(R-Floods disrupted road, rail
and power service in a third of
Virginia today after forcing
hundreds of persons to evacu-
ate their homes.
Hardest hit was the Shenan-
doah Valley where the Shenan-
doah. River swept far out Of its
banks and caused property loss
approximating that done by dew
astating floods in 1885. Waters
put Harrisonburg's two munich
pal plants out of operation and
left that city in darkness last
night.
Waters began pouring over the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroads tracks near
Fredericksburg late Thursday to
halt heavy traffic on that New
York-Florida link. Washouts on
the Chesapeake and Ohio on its
span of the Blue Ridge forced
diversion of c. & o. traffic over
the Southern Railroad to Lynch
burg and thence back to the
west.

FDR Enjoys
WilIkie Talk

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-(P
President Roosevelt said to-
day he had had an exceedingly
successful and interesting talk
Wednesday with Wendell l..
Willkie, but he would not 60
into details because, he explain
ed, he could not disclose military
secrets.
That was all he could say, he
told press conference in answer
to a question asking whether, as
a result of the report given him
by Willkie, he anticipated ANY
changes in our military strategy"
He remarked, in addition, that
he was afraid no controversy
could be worked up about any
thing.
Willkie has persistently called
for opening up second front.

to us that the Allied fighting
front extending around the vast
perimeter within which the enc
my operates on much shorter
lines is indeed a sensitive thing.
Britain a well ~ America, Is VII
brating with the shock OF the
clash in the Pacific.
Meanwhile, Hitler is continu-
ing with notifications OF his
race against time to consolidate
his position in Southwestern
Russia before Winter overtakes
him. The attack on Stalingrad
goes on, but the Nazi chief ap-
parently has abandoned, at least
for the moment, his great massed
attacks for fierce but smaller
thrusts calculated to capture
strategic points one by one.
AS predicted in previous dis
patch, the Fuehrer also Is in
creasing his effort to secure a
line of Caucasus mountain foot
hills running East and West
across the isthmus between the
Black and Caspian seas. Fight
ing is particularly heavy in the
Mozdok zone on the Caspian side
and in the Novorossisk sector on
the west, where the Boche is try
ing desperately to reach Tuapse
on the Black Sea.
Hitler has two main detectives
in this augmented drive along
the line of mountains.
For one thing, on the Caspian
side he wants to cut Russian
communications with the Per-
sian Gulf. The Gulf is, OF
course, one of the two remaining
lifelines to the outside world, the
other being the hazardous pass
age through the Arctic to Muir
mansk along the route where
American and British sea forces
keep daily logs which are epic.
The Nazi chiefs other purpose
is to thrust down the Black Sea
coast and rob the Russian fleet
of its harbors.
If he could fight his way as
far South as Batum he would de-
prive the Reds of their last an
chorage and thereby secure con-
troll of the Black Sea. This would
be an asset of incalculable i'm
portance for further operations
against the Middle East and East
ern Mediterranean.
However, while fighting can
continue through the winter in
this Southern zone, Hitler will
think himself lucky if he is able
to secure the line of mountains
between the two seas.
Actually the way the Rus
slams have been holding he has
before him a task so great that
the danger of his breaking
through into the Southern Cau-
casus thus far is rather remote.
One can 60 even further and
saw the Nazi all-highest is a bad
ly worried, desperate man. The
offensives which he now is fling
ing at Stalingrad and the Cau-
casus line represent his final all
out efforts beforet the SHOWS and
ice comes.
While fighting can continue in
the Caucasus even during the
winter, which in the lowlands is
mild compared with the fierce
sub-zero weather farther North,
operations inevitably must slow
down.
Furthermore the G e m n
striking power both in men and
material is badly in need of a
rest and overhaul. Hitler has
overworked his fighting ma
chine in an effort to secure a de-
cisive victory by breaking
through into the Southern Cau-
casus and the Middle East.
His chances of success now are
as far off as the pot of gold at
the end of the rainbow, and he
can't even see the rainbow.

Diego bunch led by Hurst, former
Imperial Valley top pitcher, that
they have their sights set on.
Hurst has promised to bring his
team, which INCLUDES several more
ex-valley players, to El Centre and
will again put his feet on the rubber
and chuck TO valley batters.
Jackson, who works for the City
of Ell Centre in loop play, has prom
ised to put eTcrytning into the
game as he usually does and the
Mexicali fray should give him a
chance to warm up and become bet
ter accustomed to the array of tai
ent from eight different teams be-
hind him.
In the two times Jackson has
pitched and won for the all-stars
he has turned in a siX-hitter, against
Yuma, and a four-hitter, against
Mexicali He has worked well with
Roy Robertson, Telephone company
catcher, and the other members of
the team.
Hank Cauz1a is slated to hold

Paul Gastelum, shortstop, and Dutcn
Van Nostrand, third.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-07-07

Little Manuel Ortiz. who repre-
sents FL Centre and Imperial Val
ley so well in the sporting world,
will get his chance at World Ban-
tamweight Champion Lou Salica but
il will be at Salica's terms.
Manuel, who is rated No. l chal-
lenger by everybody who knows
something of the realm Of the little
fighters, finally has Salica's cross
on a contract calling for fight
in the Hollywood Legion stadium
on August 7. For this little set-to
Salica has a guarantee of S6500 while
Ortiz will garner only $780,
This shows you how badly Manuel
wants to touch gloves with Sallc7
and also gives you a picture OF
what he thinks his chances are. But
he's not alone in his IDEA that he
can make Salica wish he hadn't
signed even at such terms. It's al
most been taken for granted along
hammers Lane that Ortiz will be
able TO wrest the golden apples from
the champ.
The I. v. slugger, who carrie a
charge Of nitro in both gloves, eY-
ploded them on ElWood Romero last
week at the stadium and before that
he had measured young Ken Lind
say, Canadian champ, for a canYa5
suit. Lindsay afterwards held Salica
TO a close decision.
