Get More Than Quota.

Denham's quota in the recent USO
drive was set at $25 and a one-day
canvass at the creamery picnic Sat-
urday, brought slightly over that
amount.
The Hanson-Anderson Post of the
American Legion, sponsor of the
drive, is appreciative to all those
who so willingly contributed to help
reach the quota in so short a time.

Stray Cow Soves
LurQe AirIiner

There are few crack ups on the
three e-thousand mile hop between
India and China. The pilots who
fly badly-needed war supplies to
the Chinese have to battle bad
weather conditions which alter
nately kick up sitting dust storms
send the temperature soaring to
1870 degrees, and create updrafts
which sometimes carry the air lin
ers skyward at the rate of 5000
feet minute.
Most of the pilots are in their
early twenties. One-Lieut. Lloyd
Aronson, of South Norwalk, Conn,

until one day when japanese
planes raided the Allied airdrome,
To get DC3 off the ground and
out of the way of bombs, Aronson
leaped into the plane and took OFF
from wet field. He has been fly
ing the big ferry planes ever since.
On his last two trips, he has
shared the pilots seat with Lieut..
Vinton E. Broidy, of Washington,
d. C. The second trip found Aron-
son and Broidy lost in dust storm
that limited visibility to 300 feet'
The temperature inside the plane
was well over lis degrees A sud-
den storm came up, but instead OF
lowering the temperature, 1t splash

Aronson and Broidy swooped thelr

Army

Over
Plane Spot+ins
system TO Come
UnderU. S. Hand

The U. S. Army planned
Tuesday to take over virtual
ly complete control of the
aircraft warning service il
Imperial county and else
where throughout California under
a system which will continue to use
civilian observers but will solve
numerous critical transportation
problems.
The action, officially announced
by Brig. Gen. W. E. Kepner COM
manding the Fourth Fighter Com
mand, was believed to be partly in
answer to recent demands that the
Olson state administration either
provide real help in the warning
service setup, or relinquiSh author
ity to somebody able to do SO. Brig
Gen. Kepner, however, made no
mention of such demands, and said
his command was deeply indebted

tives for the assistance they have
given" since Pearl Harbor.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

for additional Army support to

announcing the plans was sent by
Brig. Gen. Kepner to w. T. Living

craft warning service, as we'll as to
other county directors throughout
California.
The announcement dealt first
with army plans to provide trans
portation to outlying observation
posts far from the homes of obsery-
ers. Among these, it was believed
will be the observation posts on the
western edge of Imperial county
Brig. Gen. Kepner stressed the
fact that the army's help in meet
ing some expense does not relieve
the local community, nor county
and state defense agencies of theil
responsibility of meeting other ex-
/ penses, nor does it in any way re-
lieve them of the responsibility OF
recruiting civilian volunteers tc
man the posts.
Soldiers will not be stationed al
the ground observation posts. Pres
ent observers, and new civilian vol
unteers, will continue to discharge
their present duties.
Direct control of the ground OBJ

Gen. said, must be established sc

Pair Go to San
Quentin on Charges

Sentence was pronounced in su-
perior court Tuesday morning on
Angel Rico Gomez and RoSendo
Rogue Rodriguez, the former on one
and the latter on two counts of
drug running.
Deputy District Attorney Ray
Mauser asked for sentences to run
consecutively in RcSendo'S case, as
the court was disposed to show
little leniency in dealing with drug
smuggling. Gomez was sentenced
to the term prescribed by law for
one charge.
The pair will serve their time in
San Quentin. The maximum SEN
tence for Rosendo'S crime is II years
while Gomez could serve six.

Hitler was throwing everything
including IL fresh divisions from
Holland and France, into the on
slaught The Russian army news
paper, Red Star, acknowledged the
battle was becoming increasingly
difficult due to enemy superiority in
tanks and men.
The German high command was
facilitating the Caucasus drive by
fighting a holding battle in North
Africa where new British attacks
took prisoners and inflicted heavy
casualties southwest of Ell Alamein
The Nazis countered RAF deva-
station raids with comparatively
weak attacks on England. Eight
fof SO to 10 Nazi planes were brought
down in last nights attacks, ap-
parently centered on Birmingham
GERMAN STRATEGY
The Germans were following
their usual method of maSSing
strength on one front. Their prime
objective was to smash through to
the Caucasus oil fields and move
eastward to the Volga before the
United Nations can invade Europe
The Germans had pushed south
ward through RoStov on the railroad
leading to the west Caucasus oil
fields and reported they had wild
ened their front south of the Don
river to the east of Rostov, where
they may have reached or made
unuseable the railroad line on
which Stalingrad depends for cCm-
munications with the Caucasus.
At the eastern end OF this front
of about $50 miles, two German
columns appeared to be closing in
on Kalach, key point on the road
to Stalingrad. Kalach lies in one
of the easternmost bends of the
Don, only 40 miles from Stalingrad
/ and on the main rail line from the
! Donets basin.
Both the Germans and the Rus
slams were vague as to positions in
this sector, but it appeared the
enemy was close to the river bar
rier beyond which Moscow indi-
Gated the main battle would be
fought in defense of Stalingrad.
These Axis gains have net been
either easy or cheap. The Rus
slams, probably at considerable cost
to themselves, have been fighting
to relay and weaken the enemy
rather than to stop him north OIL
west of the Don river. Moscow dis
patches told again and again o
frightful Axis losses but these wer,
replaced by fresh troops drawn
from possibly 100000 troops il
the southern area.
