City Farmers
Prepare TO Fight
Insects, Thieves

With Detroits Victory garden
program growing 10 unheard Of
proportions. Detroit city farmers
today began TO arm themselves
with weapons TO combat the
enemies Of gardens and garden
produce.
Chief foes OF anybody's garden
are the worms and insects which
attack plants. plus human worms
in the form of thieves and vandals.
AS far as the latter are con-
cerned, Detroit's public Victory
Gardens will be under the watch
full eye of police cruisers which
will add them TO their regular list
of calls. The department of parks
and recreation will. in addition,
provide civilian guards where van
dalism or thievery is reported.
DON'T LET 1T WORRY YOU
According TO Lucia Savage, the
.city's garden expert. however, you
don't have TO worry nearly as
much about the human race as
you do about the race of insidious
little bugs that can almost over
night make your garden look like
il was struck by an artillery
barrage.
To the alert and willing. how
ever, there is little cause for fear.
Through regular garden advice
published in the Times and advice
10 be given freely by the forestry
division of the parks and recrea-
ton department, the situation can
be handled nicely.
In addition. the recreation de-
partment is arranging a series of
classes 10 be conducted by agri-
cultural experts from Michigan
State College. The schedule for
these classes will be announced
shortly.
THE recreation department Is
anxious 10 have IL understood
that Ii has neither the man.
power nor the equipment to go
about spraying Detroit's grow
ing thousands of anticipated
Victory Gardens. We will tell
you what TO do, but you must
spray IL yourself" Miss Savage
said.
Only in cases where serious
plant epidemic is threatened will
the department act. Then, Uncle
Sam insists that authorities take
over. The worst that could happen
in this category would be an in
vasion of japanese beetles from
the land of the rising sun.

WASHINGTON, Ma" 10. up
The house, siding with President
Roosevelt, today for the third time
refused to accept the Ruml Skip-a-

Allied Undersea,
Air Fleets Hit
Axis Heavy Blow
By UNITED PRESS

Allied undersea and air
fleets struck heavy blows at
the Axis with an Italian de-
stroyer, five supply ships
and 121 German planes included in
the bag, it was disclosed Tuesday.
In the first three days of the
great Allied air offensive against
Europe, now in its sixth day, Amer
ican airmen destroyed 121 Nazi
planes.
In Mediterranean sweeps, British
submarines have sent six Axis craft
to the bottom and at the same time
damaging at least six other vessels.
HEAVIEST BLOW
The Royal air force was credited
with dealing the heaviest siagle
blow of the war at Germany-an
attack which burst three dams and
flooded the Ruhr Valley. Indirect
and unofficial reports said "thous-
ands" of persons were drowned and
vast areas of northwest Germany
devastated by the flood waters
which covered whole cities.
The American air force in Brit
ain, announcing the destruction of
l21 enemy planes, gave its own
losses as 37-24 heavy bombers, 10
mediums, and three fighters. The
force flew about 1900 sorties, or
flights by individual planes, in
four days.
The RAF hit south GERMANY
last night, carrying the offensive
to a new quarter of the Reich.
The most spectacular feat of the
offensive, the bursting of the Mohne
and Eder dams b. specially train
ed crew of British airmen, sent de-
structive torrents through a vast
region of German industry. In the
great Ruhr Valley industrial sector.

Herb Fawcett. There has been so
much talk about the United States

County Has Two
New Officials:
HedId Now Judqe

Imperial county had two
new officials Tuesday, Judge
Elmer Heald of superior
court and District Attorney
Charles G.. Halliday.
Heald's commission from Gov.
Earl Warren arrived from Sacra-
mento shortly after 4:30 pm. Mon
day and was rushed from the post
office to the county board of super
visors' room in the court house
where the board was in session.
Heald resigned as district attorney,
a post he had held since 1927, and
County Clerk w. j. McClelland ad-
ministered the oath of office as he
became judge, replacing r. d. Nc
Pherrin, deceased.
HALLIDAY NAMED
Halliday then was appointed dis
trict attorney by the supervisors
to take Heald's place. Proceedings
were rushed SO that Halliday could
make bond, it could be recorded, and
he could be sworn in Immediately.
The speed was necessary so the
county would not be without a dis
trict attorney. Halliday immediately
re-appointed the same staff of dep
uties, Don Bitter, Russell Yeager,
and Luray Mouser. He also will
retain the same stenographic and
office staff employed by Heald when
he was district attorney.

ness plan and the partial forgive
ness bill passed by the house.
The action does not necessarily
spell final defeat for the Ruml
plan, although an affirmative vote
would have amounted to virtual
passage.
COP BELIEVES
Republicans believe they can
deadlock the conference negotiations
and force the conferees to return
Tor instructions. This would open the
way for another vote on the Ruml
plan.
The action came on a motion by
Rep. Harold Knutson, r., Mimi,
after bitter one-hour debate.
Debate brought conflicting opin-
ions as to whether Mr. Roosevelt
would in fact veto pay-as-y -you-go
legislation embracing the Ruml plan.
Administration leaders declare- he
would; Ruml advocates said he
would not, contending that his de-
nunciation of the plan was so word
ed that he had not committed HIM
self to veto.

Hope Wanes in I.v.
For Easy Import
OF Field Workers

Hopes of Imperial Valley
agricultural leaders for i'm
porting farm workers into
the area from nearby MeXi-
cali waned Tuesday when Jo-
Sc NJ. Gutierrez, Mexican consul in
CaleXico, was advised that Ameri-
can embassy officials in Mexico
City had promised that a recent
U. S. ruling relaxing immigration
restrictions for South American
agricultural laDorers would not ap-
ply to Mexicans.
Under the order, which was re-
leased several days ago, district
farmers had hoped to be able to
employ experienced workers who
are familiar with local farm meth
ods and who are accustomed to the
valley climate.
RELAXES LAW
The order provided for the re-
taxation of immigration laws re-
quiring that immigrants must be
literate, pay head tax etc. They
would have to be fingerprinted and
photographed. however, and carry
with them an identification card
and such immigrants could engage
only in farm labor.
Shortly after release of the order
the border at Ell Paso, Texas, was
thrown open to Mexican farm work
ers below the Rio Grande in Chi
huahua. So heavy was the rush of
MeXicans who sought to enter the
U. S. under the new order tat many
Mexican farms were left without
sufficient labor and as a result a
protest was made against the ruling
by Mexican authorities.
NO ORDERS HERE
Instructions on the order, how
ever, was not received by U. S. inn
migration officials in this district.
Meanwhile Tom Finney, Imperial
county director of the U. S. EN-
ployment Service, said the need for
farm workers was constantly mount
ing. He stated Tuesday that be-
tween 800 and 1000 such workers are
needed in Imperial Valley at the
present time.

the enemy was holding up a two
pronged American advance on the
main Japanese positions around
HoltZ bay.
Knox said that, despite stubborn
ties so far in the campaign are
much lighter" than had been eX-
pected.
MEETS REPORTERS
The secretary met reporters an
hour after the navy issued a COM
munique stating that japanese
forces entrenched along the rocky
ridge were giving stubborn resist
ance to two columns of American
troops landed on the southeastern
and northeastern ends of the island.
I'VE now have word that our
troops have captured that ridge and
driven the enemy out" Knox said.
I'VE are now in possession of the
ridge
The ridge, running from east to
west, is south of Holtz bay There
is a pass in it someplace, Knox
said. Its capture, he said, will make
it possible to carry out a pincers
operation against the main enemy
positions, established chiefly around
.Holtz bay. II
/ Knox said he had no definite
word as to whether juncture be-
tween the two >orces had yet been
effected. For the present, he said, it
would be correct to say that they
are approaching each other
He said that the larger of the two
army landing forces came ashore at
Massacre bay, on the southeastern
end OF Attu. 1t apparently was this
force, Knox said, which overcame
enemy resistance on the ridge.
FORCES lombard
Naval surface forces are continu-
ing to aid our ground elements
with bombardments whenever the
opportunity presents itself. But he
pointed out that visibility is gener-
ally poor in that area.
Knox said the bulk of the Ameri-
can landing forces were comprised
OF U. S. Army infantry. The rest
apparently included other army ele-
mentS.
They are still fighting" he said,
indicating that the capture of the
ridge itself did not end enemy re-
sistance on the island.
AT the outset of his conference,
Knox pointed out that secrecy was
essential in an operation such as
at Attu. Tic said that apparently
the Japanese knew nothing of our
plans until after we had made
landings on the beaches.
Then we met with very serious.

District leaders said TUESDAY the
U. S. Bureau of Reclamation had
signified great interest in the de-
velopment proposal and had ap-
proved plans for the drawing up of
lease which might DE considered
by the Department of Interior and
directors of the irrigation concern.
GOVT. LAND
The land is owned by the Interior
department and before it could be
developed for farming would have
to be leased from that agency, dis
trict officials explained. If suC.' a
lease could be perfected the land
would then be offered to farmers on
a suitcase basis. Some farmers
have already signified an interest
in the area and indications are
that development would move rap
idly if the details of leasing the
land are worked out.
The project would be chiefly ex-
perimental but district chiefs hold
to hope a permanent set-up could
eventually be developed. "Feelers'
were put out by district chiefs to
the Interior department recently
as a result of the current demand
for increased agricultural products.
TO WORK OUT LEASE

for the All-American canal, and
