divorced itself from San Diego coun-

Pherrin refused to run for superior

One of Best Of AII-Time

Old timers of Imperial Valley
congratulated themselves Monday
on the success of the picnic they
held at the Aten ranch near El

was their greatest occasion since
early settlement days.
More than $50 men. women, and
children gathered at the big ranch,
expressing their delight in the shady
grove. the gorgeous peacocks, the
famous old dinnerbell on the water
tower, the glass front in the bee
tree. the mulligan stew, the sour
dough biscuits, the cold drinks, the

This group was irked when the
governors program was forced
through, making substantial saw
mgs to corporations, banks and
large interests. but virtually no re-
lief for the man-in-the-street.
The reaction seems to be that a
flood of appropriations bills will be
sent TO the governor for him to
take the heat by signing or veto

introduced and the department of

He protested heatedly that War

there is no shortage" On the con-
trary. Patterson insisted, aviation
gasoline production is far short OF
the requirements estimates which
he submitted to the War Produc-
ton Board last october.
Declaring he did not think the
synthetic rubber program was as
urgent today as the l00-octane gas
oline program, Patterson said there
is every indication that the rubber
situation IS in much better condl-
ton than the lO0-octane gasoline. :
Take il that the recent relaXa-
ton Of restrictions placed on the
use of rubber would not have come
about if the rubber outlook had
not improved to the point that any
crisis in the supply of rubber has
. been passed" he said. From pres
ent indications there will be rub
Der but not enough 100-octane gaso-
line"
When Jeffers appears. he will
be asked whether his rubber pro-
gram IS far enough advanced tc
warrant the easing of tire ration
ing restrictions.

to the witness stand. Jefter> will
