Court Fighf 10 Cause Big Sir in Congress;
 5kids for Morgenfhau
By JACK .sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. l0.-Look- ing ahead;
 A court fight that is bound to cause a. big stir will come when Robert M. Lovett, William Dodd and Goodwin Watson sue for theii government salaries. The jobs of Lovett. Secretary of the Virgin Is- lands, and Dodd and Watson in the Federal Communications Commis- sion, were abolished by Congress. However, Secretary of Interior Ickes, who is Lovetts boss. and the EGG are going to make scrap of it.. Ickes merely shifted Lovett over from Secretary to Assistant to the Governor of the Virgin Islands. If his check isn't forthcoming, he'll sue on the ground that Congress has no constitutional right to take the action it did. Out of it may come a decision which will deter mine whether bureaus, departments, and agencies have the right to em- ploy anyone they wish-zand whether Congress, aside from it's. senatorial approval of presidential appoint ments, has anything to say about it at all
 In the gossip corners here they are saying that there is a congress sional ground swell to get rid of Secretary of the Treasury Morgen- thau and give the job to Economic Stabliizer Fred M. Vinson. Until it gets into the open don't pay too much attention to it. At one time or another, almost every member of the Presidents cabinet has been fired" by rumor. Morgenthau never has been popular 'on the hill,' but the same could be said of several others, who are still around or have been given bigger jobs.
 The latest rumor probably grew out of the kicking around the House Ways and Means Committee has given the treasury's. tax bill pro- posals, but it shouldn't be forgotten that Vinson has openly backed those proposals to the hilt.
 Military circles here are positive that there soon will be another four-star general to take his place alongside Chief of Staff General Marshall and Generals Macarthur and Eisenhower. The appointment may tie up with rumored proposed shift of General Marshall to some position such as United Nations chief of staff. Some bets are that

NO EXTRA GAS
FOR THE VALLEY

On May 70, various representatives OF
all the rationing boards in Imperial coun-
ty made verbal request to officials Of
the district OPA office at San Diego for
permission to ailot additional gasoline
TO residents during the hot summer
months, where such allotments were
found TO be justifiable in the light of
heat conditions.
On June 26th one month later, the
proposal was officially turned down
by OPA officials in Washington.
Just why the proposal was refused is
not as yet known. Neither is it known
what chance there may be for affirmative
reconsideration. But it is certain that
every additional effort should be exerted
to have the case reconsidered. and that
Imperial county will not be satisfied
until the reasons for the refusal have
been ascertained.
The proposal was made in good faith.
1t was by way of helping people of this
community and assisting the. OPA por-
ton of the centralized war effort to
operate efficiently and in accord with
community needs and variations. Now
it remains to be seen whether the OPA
operates with similar worthy objectives
in the accomplishment of its allotted
tasks.
1t is interesting indeed that this mat
ter as we'll as increased meat rationing
should be coming to fruition right at
time when OPA is under heavy fire from
all quarters. Possibly the light shed by
these localized cases will help valleyites
evaluate the pros and cons of the charges
currently being aimed on the wider, ma
tional scale.

THE BATTLE OVER
The O. P. A.

There is a flood of criticism being
poured upon the Office of Price Admin
istration in Washington. What is done
at the seat of government reflects the
accumulated complaint of the nation as
a whole.
Mr.. John Doe Citizen will probably find
his head in a whirl, what with the charges
and counter charges and will elect to sit
on the fence until the smoke of battle
clears. Which appears the wisest course
he can pursue.
In the melee there are certain things
we should realize.
One is that OPA, for all its faults and
inefficiencies, is the chief agency which
stands between US and chaotic initiation.
The issue upon which congress and
the public must pass judgment is wheth-
er we can replace the agency with SOME
thing better, or improve the existing
plan. We cannot merely attack OPA
and destroy it, because to do so would
leave us at the mercy of a spiral which
would have no limit.
In deciding what to do about OPA, we
should weigh, first, whether the basic
theory of controlling initiation from
swivel chairs is wrong or whether this
particular plan can be improved upon;
or whether and to what extent weakness
can be overcome.
In weighing the evidence for and
against, all argument should be grouped
within these categories and every effort
made to disregard complaints which have
been made just for the fun of mud-sling
ing. No condemnatory objection should
have place in court that is based upon
restriction of luxuries, or curtailment of
unnecessary action and freedom.
Not avon tbp hDrnaucrafS them selves
can object to evidence showing that oper-
atoms are inefficient, or that freedoms
have been restricted unnecessarily, or
that operations are injuring the war
effort.
This kind of testimony is constructive
and should be welcomed by all concerned.

PitoI Talk

Mr.. Justice Senator Office of
War Mobilization Director James E.
Byrnes has bit off quite a chew for
himself in assuming the job of chief
government rat-hole watcher, fight
stopper, arugment settler, con-
fusion remover, trouble shooter
extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary of sweetness and light,
goodwill and brotherly love among
the bureaucrats in wartime Wash
ington. No wonder he says he
doesn't want to be vice-president,
ever. This job will be lot more
exciting.
Justice Byrnes' announced plan
of operation for his new Office,
particularly as it relates to his
ambition to funnel Congressional
investigations through one Senate
and one House committee, and to
stop inter- departmental rows be-
fore they get started fills long
felt Washington want. Carried to
the extreme, this new method of
"mobilizing" the war effort might
he considered move towards i
muzzling the department heads by
not letting them make faces at
each other, or an effort to sup
press the constitutional right of
Congressman to ret up on their
hind legs and complain about the
war effort, except before the
chosen committees. n
It might also lead to a suppress
sion or a reduction of some OF the
more dramatic news that comes out
of the capital. In the eyes of some
people, nothing is happening in
washington unless Harold Ickes or
Bill Jeffers or John L. Lewis Is
calling somebody nasty name,
unless the Truman Committee is
exposing some scandal, or unless the
Army is trying to wreck the War
Production Board or vice versa.

toe MUCH CONFUSION

OPA is today the hot subject OF
these five Investigations, but before
OPA became the center of all this
attention it was something else
manpoWer, or war production, or
small business in general, or gaso-
line, or rubber, or steel, or alumni
nun.
These things are admittedly all
important and maybe they deserve
all the attention and abuse shower
ed down upon them. Director
Byrnes realizes the compleXity OF
them all and the difficulty in try
ing to get investigations of all the
war problems centered in one COM
mittee of the Senate and one com
mittee of the House. Congressional
Investigations are, in general,
healthy things. They correct many
abuses. But in duplicating each
other, they tend often to pile con-

is not the obvious way to shovel
away pile of confusion which lit
terS up any front yard.
AS a step towards increasing the
efficiency of not only the war ef-
fort, but of Congress itself, the
proposals which Director Byrnes has
made constitute a notable step to-
wards the removal of much Wash
ington confusion.
The neatest trick which Mr..
Byrnes proposes, however, is to go
one step beyond this, have abuses
and departmental conflicts called to
his attention and corrected before
they reach the stage of being so
overripe that they require Con-

Writes:

Herr Goebbels is worried about
the Germanic power of endurance.
Instructing Nazi newspaper stooges
in the lies they are to write, he
conceded that the Huns can't take
it.. That is no news to the rest of
us, who have seen other sadistic
bullieS cave in as soon as the going
got tough.
1t is, of course, the increasing
weight of allied air power that dis
courages Maize Joe. A controlled
press can keep many secrets, but
can hardly persuade the residents
Of Essen, for instance, that Goering
controls the air. Almost nonstop
bombing is cracking the German
shell.
Nevertheless, we should not read
too much into this. 1t does not
mean, unfortunately, that the Reich
is about to collapse and capitulate.
10 realistic observer expects victory
, come until infantry and tanks
are, at the least, cn their way
overland to Berlin.
Bombing can win the war. How
it can do this is most easily
understood by going back to the
last days Of Cape Bon.
There some 250,0c0 crack German
roops, as good as any fighting
men in the world, were concen-
trated in a tiny area. They had
only short line to defend, across
the neck of the cape, and the
mountainous interior was ideal for
defense. Yet they collapsed in a
matter of hours.
Why?
Because no modern army, however
capable. courageous and ably led,
can fight without tanks, planes,
guns, muni ions. And we had cut
off these quarter of a million men
rem the tools of their trade.
Bombing can win the war by
doing the same thing on a greater
scale and by different process.
Some experts say that If we can
devastate les than score of key
German cities as we have destroyed
Essen, the war will be won.
Those cities are the sources of
the most vital armaments and
munitions. At the same time they
are being devitalized, transporta-
ion and communication lines
throughout Hitler's fortress of
Europe" will be broken up.
Then, when Anglo American
French forces establish their
bridgeheads and start for Berlin,
the axis defenders will find them
selves as impotent to resist as were
the defenders OF Cape Bon.
