SCORES AGAIN

Calipatria's angry Hornets were
stung once more in the third
quarter when Fimbres, tired of
tossing his own passes, decided to
intercept a Calipatria pass and on
a thrilling 60 yard run, featured by
exceptional blocking and inter-
ference, accounted for the final
score of the game.
In the final chapter, however,
the Hornets buzzed with a ven-
geance but could not quite storm
CaleXicoS final barrier. Spurred
on by their home town crowd, the
Hornets outran and outpassed their
opponents during an entire fifteen
minute period but were always
stopped around Calexico's 90 yard
line.
CaleXico lost its weight advantage
in the line early in the game when
both tackles, the only two 180 lb.
men on either team, were hurt and
had to be retired from the game.

TOM HARMON IS
AGAIN LISTED As
MISSING BY ARMY

ANN HARBOR, Mich, Nov. D.
UP)-"The secretary of war de-
sires to express regrets at this time
that your son, 1t. Thomas d. Har-
mon. is missing in action.
This was the second time in
seven months that Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis A. Harmon were advised
that their All-American son, Tom
my Harmon, was lost in air action.
He came back the first time
in April-but today the odds were
heavy against him. This time the
former University of Michigan grid
iron hero had not been on a transit
mission. He had been assigned to
the 18th air force in China, plotting
a P-40 pursuit plane against the
japanese. He has been missing
since Oct. 80, the war department
said.
MAITAINS nG-.
Harmons mother, who was sure
Tom would come back" when it was
announced April IA that her son
and his crew were missing from a
crash IN tne CarlDpean area, again
refused to abadon hope.
I'VE didn't lose courage during
those days in April when we heard
nothing she said, land we won't
believe that he has not come out
on top this time"
Harmon had requested transfer
to a pursuit group because he did
not wish to be responsible for a
crew if anything should happen to
HIM or his plare. The first plane,
which crashed into the jungles of
Dutch Guiana, was called Little
Butcl:-Old 98," the numerals Har-
mon wore on his football jersey.
The ship Harmon had been flying
in China was called Little Butch
II and also bore the numerals
.'98".

A SHRINKING EUROPE
IS ENVISlONED
{ Riverside Daily Press

(RlVerSlde DAILY PfeSS)
Some ANALYSTS of this general war
are beginning to say that Europe is done
for. And perhaps they are right. Eur
ope. however, has been the mother of
western civilization and great CONT
nent while it lasted. and il is to be hoped
that when the war is won, We will be
able to reconstruct it.
continental Europe" no longer means
what it used to. Its boundaries seem to
shrink along with its historic Importance.
The British Isles, whose people have
made so much European history, are re-
garded as a separate area, uncOnnected
with the continent except by historic
and sentimental ties.
Nor is Russia considered European
any more, but virtually as part Of the
great Asiatic land mass reaching east
ward to the Pacific. Europe is now,
broadly speaking, merely the western
end of peninsula extending from the
Atlantic ocean to Russia and the Black
sea. And in that comparatively small
area, the chief unit in size and power is
Germany.
But perhaps we should say it has
been Germany. For the size and power
of Deutschland may shrink considerably
at the end of the present war.
Some history-minded observers seem
to believe that the whole European pen
insua, from Russia west to the limits of
Norway, the English channel and Portu
gal, will develop into federation OF
states something like our own national
organization
This column has on several occasions
suggested United States of Europe,
and many commentators have advocated
such, a set-up. 1t may be that after the
war is won, something of that kind will
be proposed and adopted Anything that
can be done to further such a plan will
be agreeable to this country.
First of all it will be necessary to do
away as much as possible with the
hatreds which have developed between
certain classes of peoples in these Eur
opean nations The military classes
must be put in the background, and the
spirit of good fellowship must be foster
ed and emphasized. That will be a job
for the United Nations about the peace
table.

days later a German detachment

BELATED JUSTICE
FOR CHINA
New York Times)

Hearings on legislation to repeal sixty
one-year-old determinations against the
Chinese are announced to open in Wash
ington before the house immigration and
naturalization committee. What is ask
ed by friends of the Chinese is more than
reasonable. 1t is simply the repeal of
long-standing laws specially prohibiting
Chinese immigration and singing out
the Chinese as ineligible for citizenship.
The Chinese would then be under the
quota system, which would permit the
annual immigration of about 100 persons.
These legal immigrants could become
citizens So could perhaps 10000 other
Chinese now residing in the United States
but born in the homeland The anti
Chinese laws were passed, the first of
them in 1882, because of the fear that
this country would be flooded with cheap
labor. Some employers had already
brought them in for this purpose-nota-
bly, the builders of the first transconti-
mental railroads. Nothing like this can
be permitted to happen again.
