said she did and the friend prom

the friend gave her box Of squads
She looked inside Six little pigeons

her. Her heart broke and she al
most wept when she thought of
killing such beautiful creatures.
She took them home and gave
them to her husband. Bill looked
in the box. Six little pigeons rolled
tender, melting eyes up at him.
"Oh, they're alive" he said. Mrs.
Outlook told him he would have to
kill them if he wanted to dine off
squads.
It can't" gulped Bill, after anoth-
er look at the gentle little crea-
lures. Such tender eyes. Such soft
and beautiful feathers. But We'll
give them to Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmy
Marshall. They like SQUADS They
took the box to the Marshall home

"Oh, they're alive" he said as he

couple backed out, leaving Jimmy
gazing at the squads and stroking
their velvety feathers.
How did you enjoy the squabs?'
Bill asked Jimmy next day.

Congressman Hit
Snae in Meeting
On No.SfrikeB Bill
COnferees Unable to
Reach Agreement on
Labor Legislation

WASHINGTON, June 8.
(UP)--House and senate con-
ferees on anti-strike legisla-
ton hit a deadlock today
for the moment, at least-on
whether the measure should con-
tain a clause permitting strikes in
war industries on 30-days' notice
and after a secret ballot.
Such clause was written into
the anti-strike bill by the house
Senate conferees, however, have op-
posed it vigorously on grounds that
congress should not give even tacit
consent to war industry strikes.
Some CT the house conferees pro-
posed a modification during a three
hour closed session toda", it was
learned, but it was not accepted
Immediately by the senate group.
Rep. Dewey Short. r., Mo-, said
the compromise offer would have
changed the phraseology but not
the effect of the house provision.
ALSO AT ISSUE
Also at issue when the confereeS
recessed for lunch were provisions
of the house bill to require all labor
unions to register with the National
Labor Relations board and file fin
ancial data, and forbidding labor
unions to contribute to political
campaigns.
Prior to this mornings meeting.
conferees had predicted agreement
before nightfall on a measure which
would:
l. Specifically authorize govern
ment seizure of any plant or mine
useful to the war effort whose oper-
alton is threatened by a labor dis
pute.
OUTLAW STRIKES
2. Outlaw strikes against gov
ernment-Seized property.
3. Provide a maximum penalty
of $4,000 fine and one year impris-
onment for any person who induces.

LOS ANGELES, June Sup
Army, navy marine and coast guard
authorities today ruled a large sec
ton OF Los Angeles East Side out
of bounds in an effort to halt out
breaks between service men and
youthful zoot-suit Wearers.
The ruling was made by joint
agreement of the service branches
and included the skidrow districts
along Main street, East Fifth street
and Central avenue.
Military and naval officers be-
came alarmed at the riot propor-
tions of last nights clashes. Serv-
ice men, seeking revenge for as
saults by the fancy-clad zoot-Suit-
erS, surged through streets during
the night and stripped off thS
youths reat pleates down to the
skin.
COLLAR WEARERS
More than 500 soldiers, sailors,
and marines marched through the
downtown area, charging into thea
ters, cafes, bars and nightclrbS and
collaring the wearers of the glad
plaid and right stripe.
Starting in the skidrow district,
the service men ripped off more
than 20 solid suits of threads y
revealing in some cases old-fash-
ioned long underwear beneath the
baggy pants and king-size should
erS.
Police riot squads were busy all
night. Shore patrols and military
police patrolled the area trying to
remove service men, but the truck
loads they took out had little effect
on the size of the mobS.
Street cars were halted and traf-
flee tied up as the soldiers and sail
ors hunted the zoot-suiters.
GIRLS ATTACKED
Service men have been beaten,
stabbed and robbed and girls they
were escorting have been attacked
by the youthful gangsters. Police
round-ups have had little effect in
curbing the hoodlums, although

Study Strategy
orOffensives

WASHINGTON, June 8
(UP)-Secretary of the Ma
Wy Frank Knox revealed to-
day that Admiral Chester w,
Nimitz, commander-in-chiet
Of the Pacific fleet, conferred with
Admiral Ernest j. King, U. S. fleet
commandre-in-ch on the west
coast, possibly concerning strategy
outlined at the recent Roosevelt
Churchill conferences.
Knox told press conference that
Nlmitz came to the west coast from
the Pacific war theater to meet with
King, and added that they have
been holding strategy conferences
at 60 day intervals.
NO SIGNIFICANCE
Asked whether there was any
significance in the fact that the
two naval commanders were meet
ing at approximately the same time
that Gen. George c. Marshall, army
chief of staff, was comforting with
military leaders in the European
and African theaterS, he replied
that there was none.
He conceded that the suggestion
King might have transmitted to
Nimitz reports of the Washington
conference between the President
and the British Prime Minister
possibly would be one very good
explanation.
Knox said that the Pacific fleets
strength has been expanded and
that this expansion was continuing.
NO COMMENT
Knox said he had no comment on

mittee or the probation and juve-
nile officers. All this is handled by
the courts.
Judge Thompson's letter said in
part:
Approximately 10 years ago a
committee of the Imperial county
grand jury requested that ! accept
the appointment of judge of the
juvenile court of this county and
handle the work of the juvenile
court. After giving the matter some
thought, 1 acceded to this request
and took over the work. To pre-
pare myself for SO doing, I began to
make a special study of the juve-
nile court law, its application and
administration. This study of the
subject has continued throughout
the years of my incumbency in Of
flee, and 1 have endeavored to per-
form the duties of the office to the
very best of my ability. Thus, the
taxpayers of Imperial county have
a sizeable investment in my serv-
ice and training, whatever it may
be.

Gilbert testified at hearings in
volving possible reconsideration OF
the committees action last Friday
in approving a bill extending the
life of the Commodity Credit Corp.
with an amendment banning use OF
the corporations funds to subsidize
any price roll-back. .. :
Defending the roll-back plan, Gill
bert said that unless prices were
reduced we'll be confronted with
demands for salary raises" He in
sisted that if OPA had used sub
sulies earlier and more wisely
living costs could have been held
down.
HAVE SAY
Opponents of present price con-
troll policies, meanwhile, were hav-
ing their say before the house
small business committee. Shirley
Haas, general manager of the Ohio
Valley Grocery Co., Louisville, KY,
declared that I'VE can't get along
much further with the long haired,
wall-eyed boys in the OPA."
Attacking the food price roll-back,
Hass said that IF the aim of the
OPA has been to break down the
Jol distribution system of this
country, it has already accomplish
ed this end-and with lightning
speed"

u. s. Pilots Down
1q Japanese Planes

WASHINGTON, June Sup
American fighter pilots intercepted
a force of 40 or SO japanese zeros
and torpedo bombers near the Rus
sell islands in the Solomons and
shot down 10 zeros and damaged six
others, the navy announced today.
Seven American planes were lost
in the engagement, the second re-
cent large-scale air battle in the
Solomons. Three of the American
pilots were rescued.
The navy did not specify what the
japanese objective was, but the fact
that torpedo bombers were among
the Japanese attacking force sug-
gested the possibility the enemy
was seeking out American shipping
in the vicinity of the Russels or
nearby Guadalcanal.

president of the California District
Attorneys association. The Imperial
county grand jury of 1912 sent a
copy of the bill drawn by Heald and
resolution recommending its pas
sage to every grand jury in Cali
fornia. All California grand juries
recommended its passage.
BACK PASSAGE
Combined forces in California
backed the passage of the bill by
the legislature Judge Heald said
Tuesday. 1T was endorsed by the
District Attorneys association, all
grand juries in the state, Native
Sons of the Golden West, the Amer
lean Legion, the Veterans of For
eign Wars, the Sheriffs' association,
the California Peace Officers asso-
citation, and many others This bill
as far as any state can go in pre-
venting japanese from holding land
in California. The federal govern
ment must do the rest. When I was
elected president of the District
Attorneys association it was with
the mandate that l prepare such
bill putting more teeth into the
alien land law.
PREVENTS MANIPULATION
In brief" Heald explained, "he
law was Designed to prevent cir
convention of the law through the
manipulation o. guurdianShipS."
The new art outlaws the practice
of many alien Japanese of farming
oy acting as guardians of their
wives and children in whom title
was vested under the law govern
ing guardianship. 1t prevents any
agreement made in the name of
the wife or children of an ineligible
alien for the use or transfer of land
when the alien himself is allowed
hereunder TO enjoy beneficial use
of the land
Any violation of the act is a fell
ony whereas the present statutes
only cover a conspiracy to violate
the act. Guardians may not farm
nor manage lads in a guardian
ship except in the exclusive use and
benefit of the ward.

BiddIe Appoints levin
As Assistant 10 Clark

Appointment of John Henry
Levin, IS, as first assistant to As
sistant Attorney General Tom C..
Clark in charge of the antitrust
division was announced by Attorney
General Biddle last night.
Since joining the staff of the
antitrust division in 1885, Mr..
Levin has prosecuted some of the
major cases brought by the Justice
Department under the Sherman Act.
In 1912 he prosecuted the Ameri-
can Medical Association case, OBJ
tanning a conviction Of the national
association as well as the District
Medical Society. The conviction
was recently sustained by the
Supreme Court. He has also been
in active charge of the Governments
antitrust suit against the Associated
| Press.
Born in Maryland. Mr.. Levin at
tended Johns Hopkins University
and was graduated from the Har-
ward law school in 1928. He is a
member of the faculty of the law
school of the University of Balti-
more.
From 1929 to 1888 he served as
peoples counsel in Maryland. He
then became chief trial attorney for
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
mlnistration here.

for hitting him, how much is he
going to hit you with and how much
is he going to protect himself with,
how much should you leave at home
and how much throw into the
punch-these are the factors that
come into the time table of battle
on the Pacific and they weigh quite
good deal on the staff mind, as
they would on yours If you knew
your first punch had to be the right
one Or there would be no more and
if you knew that once you made the
decision that was the end of it, you
had to ride it, to victory or to the
grave.
So the fellows from Torpedo 8 sat
around waiting, wondering what was
cooking and who it would be that
got cooked. Then Admiral Noyes
called in Swede Larsen and said
he wanted six bombers to go to
Midway and work out of there.
"Me and five Others" SWede said.
81 think not" the admiral replied.
Il think you'd better stay here with
the rest of the men and the planes"
SWede thought many things, but he
said, "Yes, sir and walked away
with that old line sergeant-majo jor
walk of his and summoned the fell
lows to give them the news.
June was almost there then.
Honolulu in June is very special,
like April in Paris or November in
New York. But that June did not
get past the gates at Pearl Harbor
and did not get into the bare,
bleak, raw-smelling room at Casu
Carrier Aircraft Service Unit,
where the fellows sat to hear what
Swede had to say.
Asks For Volunteers.
Swede stood in front of the room
with a blackboard behind him and
some maps. He didn't use the maps.
He just said there was a lot of
weather out on the Pacific, q whole
front, and the Japs were hiding
under it, coming along east with it,
and Admiral Noyes had asked him
to send six of the new planes to
Midway to wait there for whatever
happened. "The Japs are not COM
ing for the ride" Swede said, 80
something is pretty sure to happen.
Maybe they're going for Midway or
maybe they'll bypass Midway and
swing around and come right for
Hawaii. Either way, it looks as if
land-based planes on Midway will
have change to get in there and
make some noise for themselves.
And there will be noise made at
them. That's a point to consider,
the noise made at them.
We'll, SO six planes are going and
the rest are staying here. That's
the orders. I don't like to have to
pick out the six myself. I'd rather
have volunteers because I think
there's going to be a battle and
there's liable to be a lot to it. 1
