(Christian Science Monitor)
Americans. particularly those on the
East Coast, who have questioned the
need for the Air Raid Precautions service
and the exhaustive preparations made
for civilian defense must now realize the
Importance of the work that their fel
low citizens have undertaken.
1t was against air raids that the civil
ian defense organizations primarily were
designed. yet the recent experience of
defense corps in small New England
town indicates that there are other prob
lens to cope with.
This ARP. organization played valu
able role following one of the numerous
marine disasters caused by Nazi submar-
ines. The civilian defense unit mobilized
beach wagons and trucks for ambulance
work: first aid workers and auxiliary
police were on hand promptly. Trained
through hours of drill, this group of
men and women moved to the task
smoothly. Officials praised strongly
their efficiency in caring for the surviv
ors. some wounded, and in controlling
crowds.
In addition to such occasions as this
there is possibility of "incidents' caused
by sabotage Had the Federal Bureau
of Investigation been less alert in round
ing up the saboteurs who landed from a
Nazi submarine off eastern shores re-
Gently, there might have been work for
civilian defense organizations in several
areas.
These modern Minute Men of the A.
r. P may yet play major part in win
ming the battle on the home front.

CHECKMATING
THE GOVERNOR

(Riverside PreSs)
Those who by reason of their party
affiliation owe allegiance to Governor
Culbert l.. Olson as we'll as those who
are opposed to many of his policies, may
we'll be grateful to Lieut. Gen. j. l.. De
Witt, Western Defense commander, for
turning down the governors recommend
alton concerning the use of evacuated
japanese as emergency farm laborers.
Surely the governor could not have
thought his proposal through very care
fully, or he would not have suggested
japanese fifth columnistS and saboteurS
California'S fields, forests and factories,
all tremendously vital to the nations
war effort.
The governor himself naivelv reported
Lieutenant General Dewitt as saying that
such a move would require an entire
change of program which had been adopt
ed as military necessity" and that ANY
conference on the subject would be un-
availing to bring about change.
The disclosures concerning the arrest
of eight naZi saboteurS landed on German
submarines, nor the arrest of 70 German
American bund members and the round
ing up of 15S German aliens in the New
York area by the FBI, should register
with the states chief executive.
Could the governor, by any conceivable
stretch of the imagination, have any idea
that the Japanese, in the light of the
treachery that brought the United States
into the world conflict, be any more trust
worthy than the naZis?
Why not rather have suggested the
idea. now being considered, of bringing
in Chinese labor, members of race
which for five years has been battling the
foes of democracy and is allied with the
United States and Britain in the struggle
against the program of enslavement plan
ned for the other nations of the world by
the nazis and me Japs?

PARENTS WHO CANT
TAKE PROSPERITY

1t is a hard thing to say, and 1t Is not
altogether true, but sometimes 1t seems
that there are people who should never
be allowed TO make high wages.
They are the kind who have added
a new problem to the already heavy bur
den of Imperial county juvenile and pro
baton authorities, by neglecting their
children while they go on combination
spending drinking sprees IN night clubs
and saloons.
A lot of them came from the relief
rolls, and when the war is over and the
defense Jobs are closed, they will be back
on the relief rolls again. 1t would be
service to every taxpaying citizen of the
United States if this kind of people could
be forced, somehow, to buy war bonds
with every cent they do not absolutely
need to live on.
Most of the parents whose neglect OF
their children has been called to the at
tention of juvenile officials are working
on defense projects at wages two three
or four times higher than they ever re-
ceived before. Their standard of living
has not risen in comparison; they simply
divert the additional money into what
they consider is a good time. In otfer
words, they get drunk.
Their children, meanwhile, are LETT to
the most casual of care, or to no care
whatever. The youngsters are we'll on
the way to a bewildered uncertain, hit
or-miss existence which will do the coun-
try no good when they become adults.
They certainly are not getting any foun-
dation for strong character.
What can be done with parents of this
type is a question to which there is no
all-inclusive answer The worst cases
can be prosecuted, and the children plac-
ed under better supervision But that
is no answer; it is only partial effort
at settling a problem which can never
be completely settled until the parents
themselves have been educated to Shoul-
der their responsibilities and to make
provision for their own future and the
future of their children when it is pos
sible to do so.
Until the long process of such educa-
tion can be accomplished. the harshest
words the courts can use to impress
these parents with their duties will not
be too harsh.

we paid during World War l, and
q very reasonable rate.
If peace came with New Years
of 1945. and brought with it a
balanced budget, we should be faced
with the necessity for raising by
taxation, every year. the sum of
five billion dollars to pay interest
on the pubic oeui
That five billions. which would
not provide a dollar toward amor
tizing the public debt. is more than
the United States had ever taken
in from all revenue sources in any
year except 1919, 1920 and 1921 up
to 1887.
Even this huge sum is not all
we shall have to raise We must
finance the ordinary operations of
government, which even before the
depression were lowering around
four billions a year.
Nine billions, the sum of these
two items, is more than our gov
ernment has ever raised, up to
1912, from all revenue sources COM
| bined.
What is the moral? We have to
spend the money, don't we?
Yes. So far as the war is con-
cerned
But the next time somebody sug-
gvsts trying to save bit here
and there on non-war costs, we
might have in mind that the mimi
mum of taxation after the war will
be about half again as heavy as in
1941.

Writes:

Financial experts estimate, on
the basis of current programs, that
if this war lasts through the cal
endar year of 1914 it will have
cost the United States 220 billions
of dollars.
Add approximately 30 billions fcr
"ordinary" expenses of government
during the fiveyear period 1940-
1914. and we will have expended a
total of quarter of a trillion dol
lars in those five years.
Billions or trillions, they're all
pretty much the same to most OF
lis. to whom thousands or even
hundreds cdanc slowly enough. This
might help:
If YOU had been alive $500 years
before the birth of Christ, five
thousand years before the dawn of
history. and if you had started
counting dollar bills then as fast
as a bank teller does: if you had
counted night and day, Saturday,
sundays and holidays, you would
lust about now catch up with the
dollars we are spending in this
five-year period.
Apparently present tax plans
will finance 90. billions of this vast
program, leaving 100 billions to be
borrowed. Add to that the 40 bill
lions of national debt at the end
of 1899, and we shall wind up the
calendar year 1914 in debt to the
tune of 1000 billions of dollars.
The Treasury hopes to finance
this war at a cost of 2i9 per cent
for interest, substantially less thar

AS IT SHOULD BE

President Philip Murray of the CIO
Wednesday showed that his labor unions,
at least, have no intention at all of coop
Grating to prevent initiation in this coun-
try. when he threatened to break up
west coast aircraft wage conference un-
less the Office of Price Administration
quits ''meddling.'
AS for us, we're rather inclined to
cheer if Leon Henderson, the price boss,
is able to use any influence against wage
increases which are not necessary to
provide a good living to war industry
workers. If HENDERSON, or somebody
else. does not use such influence, there
be no use to fix prices-inflation will be
here overnight.
Murrays blast against Henderson had
more serious aspects than appear on the
surface Behind the oratory, this is the
picture The CIO is afraid the War La
Dor Board is not going to grant the wage
increase the union has demanded. Acting
on this fear, the CIO threatens to walk
out of the conference, using as an excuse
what Murray calls Henderson's meddling.
The implication is that the C1O will not
abide by the War Labor Boards decision.
In the background, possible if not prob
able, is the threat of a vast strike in the
west coast aircraft industry, presumably
against Leon Henderson, but actually
against an unfavorable decision by duly
constituted government agency.
It's past time to stop this kind of fool
ishneSs by greedy labor union bosses.

If you go out to where Washing
tons old Hoover airDort and the
Department of Agriculture expert
ment station LseC 20 he. you'll see
lot of building activity covering
some 800 acres Some time about
mid November, the War Depart
ment will move out there, into the
biggest office building on earth.
The building isn't in Washington
proper, but across the Potomac riv-
er in Arlington. Va. Right now the
building is over one-fifth completed
and 5000 people are working there
already.
There is no foOling about it
being the biggest office build
ing on earth. Empire State
building in New York may be
taller, Merchandise Mart in
Chicago may look bigger, these
and others may have cost more
because of site and trim. But
this new Pentagon building in
Arlington tops them both for
floor space, though il Is only
four stories high.
Why Pentagon- Because it's five
sided. Why five sided? Because 1t
can be approached from five diff
ferent difect-Jhs, and each ap-
proach will give a full-faced view OF
the building.
Stretching this penta-nomencla-
ture a little. the building is really
five buildings in one-four build
ings neSted with one outer build
ing in an ingenious, space-saving
design that gives a maximum OF
| light. air and convenience.
To get some idea of It's size,
start with the Yale bowl or
some comparable six-acre sta
/ dunn. That's about equal in
size and proportions to the
courtyard of this building,
Now, build a regular pentagona
building around that, 360 feet on q
side, 50 feet wide, four storiee
high. Leave an areaway for light
and air outside that inner build
ing. then build another 50-foot-
wide building outside the first one
Repeat this process. Now, outside
the third building, construct a
two-lane. 40-foot highway just for
convenience in servicing. Now builc
a fourth building outside the ser
vice way. Leave another interspace
Imperial Valley press., 1942-07-16
MILE AROUND, THREE LONG

When you get through, each face
of this outer building will be 921
feet long. Inu other words, if you
walked around it, you would be COW
ering 4605 feet, or almost a mile.
In still other words, if you took
all five of these nesting wings"
and stretched them out in a
straight line, you would have a
four-tory building, so feet wide
and approximately three miles long.
If you're not agog now, get a
load of these:
The two parking lots for this
Fent1gon will accommodate
5000 cars.
The system of rOadways, un-
derpasSes and clOverleafs nee
eSsary to get the traffic away
from this building and moving
off without congestion at rush
hours necessitates the build
ing of Fl bridges
There will be six cafeterias -
worlds largest, of course-capable
of serving anywhere from $4,000
to 100000 meals a day and getting
the people back to work in normal
lunch hour,
Supplementing these main eat
cries will be six snack bars.
