Ganagher's talk served as a
background for an understanding of
Australia, which is so much in to-
days news. He described its popu-
lation, its geography, its economics,
pointing out the vast areas which
could be developed and which have
rich potentialities, also pointing out

also other regions in the war news,

and North Africa.

A GUILTY CONSCIOUS

Alice Combs of the district at
torney's office bought a new dress
before she went to work one day
this week and did not have time
to take it home. She carried it
to her office and left it on her desk.
When she came back after lunch,
the dress was gone. It turned up
later, however, hidden away in a
filing cabinet
She accused everyone on the
district attorneys staff of hiding
her dress. They all denied it.
Within a day or two Deputy
District Attorney Charles G .Halli-
day appeared at the office carry
ing a new pair of shoes He took

of the nations civilian economy.
CAN BE DONE
1t can be done, according to
memorandum to McNutt from OCS
Director Joseph l.. Weiner, only
by:
/. Adding 100000 workers not
now employed to the labor forces.
2. Increasing the standard work
week in essential industries to 81
hours.
3. A most careful and scientific
withdrawal of certain percentages.
of labor now employed in less
essential activities. 4
Weiner'S estimate clashed with
McNutt's testimony on Jan. % be-
fore the senate appropriations sub
committee investigating manpower.i
McNutt said then:
e. Approximately 100000 work :.
ers will have to be transferred from
present employment in so-called
less essential industries" to meet
the various military and lend-lease
goals
Imperial Valley press., 1943-02-28
ENDANGER ECONOMY

But Weiner's memorandum said.
in effect that transfer of 100000
fewer workers than McNutt envi-s
stoned would not only reduce civil
ian economy close to its lowest
possible point but would approach
the point where slight dislocation.
might threaten the war productions
effort. {
Weiner virtually refused to agree
that any industry as a whole could
be regarded as less essential"
Without cooking stoves, clothing
and chairs in their homes" he said.
fewer men and women will work
in war plants. Without laundries
and restaurants women viii not stay
at war jobs. Without recreation and
medicine, war workers will not sun
vive the eXactions of war work"
Hence he suggested that McNutt
completely abandon the term "es-.
sential activities and base recruits

mum labor requirements" of an
civilian activity. (

COULDN'T HEAR BURSTS

COULDN'T HEAR BURSTS
The first flax broke some dis
tance below and TO the left of us.
There were tiny bursts of flame
and small puffs of black smoke
that gradually grew larger as the
wind dispersed them. 1t surprised
me not to be able to hear the burst.
Then bursts appeared in front of
us; then to the right and not near
ly so far away.
1T looks like they are laying
out a carpet of that stuff for us, 4"
one gunner said.
I watched, fascinated, as the big
FortreSses above and below took
evasive turns and narrowly avoid
ed flax, forgetting that some of
the bursting shrapnel might pierce
the nose of our own plane.
LITTLE FLAX DANGER
The crew told me that there was
not much danger that flax would
knock down a ship by itself. but
once a ship has been damaged and
l. forced to drop out of formation
the enemy fighters gang up on ii
and hit it like kids on a merry-go-
round plucking for the brass ring
I saw one bomber several thou
sand feet below, under control but
obviously damaged by anti-aircraft
fire. Seven enemy fighters cir
cled it giving it burst after burst
We had our share of enemy
fighters. About 20 were almost
f constantly within attack range
throughout the two-hour ig h t
With scarcely a pause someone or
the ship was calling out over the
inter communication phone the po-
sition of an approaching enemy.

The planes ahead were the first
to drop their bombs. The eggs
were plenty hideous looking as
began what appeared a slow des-

Then Diffeibach's left hand went

Since it is vital that there shall
be a complete understanding be-
tween the officer commanding the
forces which will invade Western
Europe and the American chief
of staff it is probable that Gen.
Marshalls preference will carry
enough weight with President
Roosevelt to give the Job to Gen.
Eisenhower.
Whatever the political results
OF the Moscow conference may
have been there seem to be quite
a few things which have not
been revealed to the public be-
cause diplomats do not believe in
sharing all their secrets with the
public. There Is no question that
in the military field we achieved
success.
Secrecy Shrouds Success.
In the past the Red Armies
have been operating on their own.
No one in Washington from Presi-
dent Roosevelt down had any
definite idea what the Russians
were planning and what they
were actually doing. Aside from
the official communicates very lit
tie was known by our war plan
ners in Washington and London.
American and British officers
were carefully kept away from
the battlefronts and since only
certain Russian officers are desig-
mated to have contact with for
elgners there were no informa-
tion leaks from the front.
1t is not yet clear whether the
quarantine on the Allied officer
in Russia will be lifted. Mai. Gen.
John R. Deane is remaining in
Moscow to head the American
military mission and it is conceiv-
able that Gen. Deane, who has
worked for more than a year
with the American and British
strategy trainers in Washington,
may be given a better chance to
follow the Russian operations.
