BARD HAS A
COMPLAINT

The good readers of this newspaper
who live over in the Bard area have regis
tered complaint. The burden of their
sorrow is that we over here in the valley
always use the term Imperial Valley
and thus, by failing to use the term I'm
perial county, completely ignore the
1000 odd folks who live over by the Colo
rado river
We believe this a very justifiable COM
plant, and have already started to think
oftener in countrywide terms rather than
just valley-wide.
The fact is that this objection focuses
our attention upon the plight of those
Bard people Imperial Valley folks
usually ignore them. We just simply
forget they exist, except in county or
governmental affairs when we think of
them as orphans or fourth cousins.
We consider them as a part of Yuma.
But Yuma doesn't. Bard isn't in Arizona;
it's in California. 1t isn't in Yuma coun-
ty; it's in Imperial county.
By and large though near to Yuma,
they are not of Yuma; though in Impe-
rial they are not of the rest of us by
proximity; and though technically inter
ested in our county and state matters
they are not interested in our district
affairs because they have a separate ir-
rigation district all of their own.
Frankly, we feel sorry for their plight
though they would object strenuously to
such compassion They don't want pity
What they want is merely to be consider
ed part of US, as they are, and this news
paper henceforth will consider them as
such.

Editorials and Comment
RUML PLAN IS THE ISSUE

There Is one advantage at least in the
way the fight over the Ruml Plan is
shaping in Congress: There will not be
great number Of pay-as-you-go alterna-
tives offered. Thus, when the matter
comes to vote it can be clean-cut de-
cision whether to put America on pay
as-yougo income-taX basis payment, or
not And if it is to be pay-as-you-go. it
will be the simple, understandable Ruml
version and not some complicated alter
nate.
1t is true that Chairman Doughton of
the House Ways and Means Committee
is presenting another plan. But since
this offers -as-you-g0 only to those
who can somehow pay two years taxes
in one. chief interest in his plan is likely
to center on the feature providing for
withholding tax payments from pay en-
yelopes.
The central idea of the withholding tax
has been embraced also by Ruml Plan
supporters. This should have the politi-
cal effect OF focusing debate on the skip
a-year angle of the Ruml proposal and
that is where debate belongs.
In the meantime Treasury Secretary
Morgenthau has been to the White House
and reports the Administration stands
with him 100 per cent in support of the
Doughton Plan. Since few oppose a
withholding tax, this means Administra-
ton weight will balance the scales
against pay-as-you-go = unless it is
achieved by paying two years taxes in
one. This is no year for that.

a SUBSCRIBER
OBJECTS

One of our good lady subscribers writes
US, saying, Il follow your editorials regu.
larly but often wonder why you deal SC
much with heavy subjects. We readers
don't want to have serious problems
dumped into our laps so much and es-
pecially subjects over which we have no
personal control. Can't you deal with
more pleasant, light things?'
We appreciate this comment In point,
it is similar to other attitudes reflected
in our mail (Which often aren't any too
complimentary 1t tends to awaken US
to the fact that We possibly should deal
more with the lighter side of life. We
pledge here to try and keep such resolu
tion in future.
In the main, however, editorial com
ment should be aimed at the serious prob
lens of these serious times. We know
these problems are not always pleasant to
consider They usually are hard, big and
tough to digest.
But they're the important things, the
major considerations which acted upon
today may change and completely alter
the tomorroWs of ourselves, our children
and our country 1t would be so much
easier to evade them, to say "let John
attend to them, but such an evading of
issues by us or by our readers isn't the
road to healthy future. Such an atti
tude of obligation should be shared by
all of US.
AS to what effect we folks down here
in Imperial Valley may have on issues
at stake before the nations of the earth,
we must disagree with our lady CORE
spondent She says we have no control
over these things, whereas, in fact, every
body has very great control, the power
full force of public opinion.
In fact, we who make up the bulk of
population ARE the United States. What
Imperial county thinks when combined
with what the counties of other states
and areas believe determines what the
United States thinks.
True as this appears to us, we never
theless believe the lady has something"
in urging US to consider some lighter sub
jects and this we shall endeavor to do.

The punctilio of diplomacy may re-
Quire that Admiral Standley be recalled

Russian reticence about the extent of

Russian troops, for the second time

Of the German claim to have re-
captured Sevsk, 85 miles northwest
of Kursk. AT last Russian reports
fortnight ago, the Russians were
fighting west of SeVsk)
The fighting in Russia every
where was on a diminished scale
as spring thaws turned roads into
quagmires and streams overlooked
their banks, inundating fields and
loW-lying areas. The midday COM
munique prefaced its breakdown of
the fronts with the announcement
that there were no substantial
changes" on any of them
PERMIT ACTION
Along the middle course of the.
Upper Donets river, the communi-
que said the Russians permitted
the Germans to drive a wedge into
their lines, then encircled and an
initiated it in an enveloping move
ment from the flank. The Germans
left 200 dead.
The Sunday midnight communi-
que said Soviet counterattack
wiped out German advance that
had carried to the edge of a village
north of Chuguev, % miles south
east of Kharkov. Here 300 of the
enemy were killed and a tank and
self-propelled gun destroyed.
The repulse of all German at
tempts to cross the DonetS also
was reported to the high command.
