WHO VOTED HOW ON THE
SMITH-CONNALLY BILL

The Smith-Conally anti-strike bill
awaits the veto or signature of President
Roosevelt, or his permission to become
law without signature. While. the final
outcome is pending, it is worth while
noting who voted for the bill and who
didn't.
In the Eyes" columns will be found the
name of Imperial county's representa-
tive John Phillips. Among those who
voted against the bill is the name of Ed
V. Izac, our former congressional repre-
sentative who doubtless still would be
representing US had we not elected to
join with Orange and Riverside counties,
and divorce ourselves from San Diego
county as congressional district.
While we all agree the Smith h-Connally
bill isn't what it should be, nevertheless
it is the best that has come along and
this column would wager that 85 per
cent of valley voters would favor it.
Thus, through our congressman the
community mind is properly expressed in
Washington. Were we still paired with
San Diego, the community mind of I'm
perial county would have been complete
ly obscured.
All of which means that the people
chose wisely and we'll.

Japs Also Have
Case Of Jitters
As Blow Expected

WASHINGTON, June 25 CUP)-
The japanese are demonstrating a
severe case OF the iitterS over
prospects of a powerful American
thrust in the Pacific.
Informed sources reported today
that the Japanese are engaged in
extensive patrol and reconnaissance
operations all along the Pacific
battle front. This activity, they
said, indicates that the enemy Is
uncertain where the blow will fall.
WELL ADVERTISED
That a powerful American often
sive is in the making has been we'll
advertised to the japanese. Dis
patches from the Pacific and Of
ficial utterances have made this
clear to the enemy. Even Secretary
OF the Navy Frank Knox an
ncunced in recent speech that one
OF the greatest U. S. fleets ever as
sembled in the south Pacific is
getting ready for action.
Recent navy communiques have
reported fairly regular recOnnais-
sance flights by japanese planes
over the American-held southeast
ern Solomon islands. This activity
is not confined to the Solomons.
Japanese patrol vessels and planes
have been sighted in many other
areas, apparently seeking concen-
trations Of American naval forces.
FEARS BLOW
The presence of powerful Japa-
nese air concentrations in the Solo,
mons and the area just north of
Australia might indicate that the
enemy fears a blow in that direc-
ton. The recent American aerial
activity over the Gilbert islands,
particularly at Tarawa and Nauru,
may force the enemy to divert air
reinforcements to that area.
American forces are now in a
position to command the initiative
Their presence on advanced bases
all along the Pacific battle arc
Attu in the Aleutians, Funafuti in
the south central Pacific Ellice is
lands, and the Russell islands in
the Solomons, among others-opens
the japanese to attack from any
one of several directions.
Latest evidence of japanese jit-
ters was in the navy communique
reporting that single enemy planes
made unsuccessful night attacks on
three small U. s. warships in the
Sclomons on Sunday and Tuesday
1t is obvious, according to observers
that these planes were not bent Sc
much on attack as on reconnais-
sance.

ONLY THE BEGINNING

Up-to-the-minute figures showing our
losses thus far in the war reveal that all
branches including army, marine corps,
navy and coast guard have thus far suS
tanned:
Killed-15,l32.
Wounded-2l, 800
Missing-33, ,697.
Taken Prisoner-20,17l.
Announcement of these statistics after
one and one-half years of war gives us
much to think about.
We are lucky indeed that after such
long period of being in state of war,
the figures are comparatively so low.
During those same Is months, Russia's
casualty lists ran far into the millions
Reassuring as this may be, the very
thought makes us realize that soon we
must start taking a greater part in the
battle scene. Preparatory stages are
past. Our might is now created There
will be many more lists and these Will
be much larger indeed.
All those who are listed in the figures
were human beings, men just like those
we meet and see everyday Figures cam
not reflect them in their flesh and blood
reality. The nation should honor each
announcement and realize that these
are not football scores nor are they mar
ket statistics.
These are men who die that all might
live
These are men who must suffer long
from wounds, and possibly carry physical
handicaps with them all their lives.
These are men who eat out their hearts
in concentration camps, yearning for the
day of liberation. A dawn to us means
just another day. A dawn to them means
another year in an endless chain OF, day
,1xy,,1 in ,A,4i-n md
dungeons, each day is another aeon of
suffering.
Every living person each day should
honor his countrys casualty lists, and
let them impress more deeply upon us
all what patriotism really means.

LONDON, June 25 CUP)-A mighty
fleet of Britains biggest bombers
returned last night to Wuppertal,
half of which was believed TO nave
been destroyed in a raid May ~,
and dropped more than a thousand
tons of explosives on the surviving
districts of that key Ruhr valley
industrial city
The concentrated attack was
carried out in great strength and
preliminary reports indicated that
great damage" was caused. the air
ministry said Thirty-three bomb
cts were lost.
SMALLER RAIDS
Smaller forces made subsidiary
raids on other targets in the Ruhr,
which now has been battered with
upwards of 1l,000 tons Of BOMBS
since May %. The damage and
casualties resulting from the raids
has led the German government to
order the evacuation of 3OO0,OO0
civilians from the area, according
TO Swiss reports.
The bombers concentrated on an
important industrial area of the
western half of Wuppertal, known
as Elberfeld. The initial raid May
% was directed against the eastern
portion, known as Barmen, and the
air ministry later announced that
reconnaissance showed Barmen had
been practically wiped out

What Happened To
FIetC1er'S CaStoriia

However, at that time a
chemical change-harmless
in itself-occurred in the
characteristics of the water
used in making Castoria.
But this change, in cOmbi-
nation with the reduced SUI
gar, increased the degree
and rate of normal fermen-
tation. The more rapid fer
mentation retarded normal
re-oXidation during the age
ing process, resulting in a
product which caused nau-
sea.
Q. Why Didn't Normal Tests Show
That Something Was Wrong?
4. The changes which occurred
were so elusive that they
could not be detected by the
regular testing procedures
procedures which ha d
kept Castoria a respected
product for more than sew
enty-five years. In fact,
even after the nauseating
effect was discovered in
actual use, it took weeks of
laboratory research to iden-
tify the factors that were
causing the trouble.

Q. Is Fletcher's Castoria Now On

After Seven Weeks of intensive
work, laboratory researchers
have discovered the reason why
certain patches of Fletcher's
Castoria caused nausea.
Methods of preventing a re
currence of the trouble are
now known and manufacture is
being resumed.
No Fletcher's Castoria has
been made during this seven
week period, and at its begin
ming the makers issued a ma

and retailers not to use or sell
the product and to return all
stocks for destruction.
The u. S. Food and Drug
Administration has been kept

mentS.
.. What Caused The Trouble?
4. The sugar content of Flet-
cher's Castoria was reduced
to conserve sugar under
wartime conditions. A year
ago, Castoria was made with
this reduced sugar content
and was up to standard in
every respect. This year, in
March, we again started
production with reduced SUI
gar.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. (FP)
A score of congressman, several
governors and 1000 livestock in
dustry leaders, in conference here
Sept. 2, had a field day of criti-
cism, all aimed at the administra-
tion's price rollback and subsidy
program.
Only person at the conference
to represent the consumers view
point was Mayor F. H. LaGuardia
of New York, who pleaded for a
fair and enforceable meat distri-
button plan.
The program worked out by the
livestock producers called for COM
plete abandonment of subsidies
and price rollbacks and proposed
the War Meat Board as the top
policy-making agency for the meat
industry.
Only two controls over meat arc
necessary under the meat indus
try's plan, President Frank s.
Boice of the American National
Livestock Association insisted.
These are licensing of commercial
slaughterers and civilian ration
ing, he continued, adding happily
that then price ceilings could be
scrspped.

Ineifing Act

WASHINGTON (FP)-The Ma

from unions demanding that il
help repeal the most vicious parts
of the Smith-Connally war labor
disputes act, felt it necessary Aug.
81 to announce it wouldn't do any
such thing. It's statement follows:
Despite reports to the contrary,
the board has reached no conclu-
sion which would lead it at tie
present time to recommend to con-
gress the repeal Of the strike ref
erendum section of the War Labor
Disputes Act.
"The act has been in effect only
two months. In this period, 1SO no.
tees of a labor dispute have been
filed, 76 have been withdrawn, IL
have resulted in the conduct Of
strike ballots and 81 are still pend
ing the expiration of the 30-day
notice period required by the law.
Of all these instances only one
strike has resulted.

Perkins Sees


WASHINGTON, Sept. g.
(FP)-Secretary of Labor
France Perkins said on Labor
Day that American working
men and women "are deter
mined to do their full share in the
job of winning the war and win
ming a good peace"
Declaring that complete and
sweeping victory must ultimately
come to the United Nations, bring
ing with it a new measure of lib
erty and opportunity" with the de-
feat of the Axis powers, she
added:
American working people dedi-
cate themselves anew to that cause
on this Labor Day of 1943. They
have pledged themselves to win the
battle of production by turning out
in ever increasing numbers the
tools of war for our soldiers, sail
ors and marines, our medical corps,
our fliers and our allies. They
promise, to the enslaved workers
of Axis dominated lands, that this
production will help to break their
shackles and that another Labor
Day will find millions of them
once again enjoying the blessings
of freedom such as is the heritage
of American working men and
women and for which our people
can be so thankful today"
