Harvey in his bill would set up an Alaska Alcohol Administrator at a salary of s6o0 'taint bay) per month which is probably one of the reasons he bill will have some opposition.

 Postmaster General Frank c. Walker is the new Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, succeeding Edward J. Flynn, who served in that capacity after Jim Farley stepped out. Flynn, who was scheduled to be the American minis ter to Australia, past week asked that his name be withdrawn follow ing the political turmoil it started in Congress. Astute. loyal polite ian Flynn with the Presidents backing apparently withdrew h is name to avoid undue pickering over minor matter compared with win ming a war.

Walker born May 30. 1SS6 at Plymouth, Pa; educated at Gonzaga Univer- sity in Spokane, Wash, and Notre Dame; appointed executive seere- tary of the Presidents Executive Council by President Roosevelt in 1883; in the same year was named by the President to become Exeeu- tive Director Of the National Emerg- ency Council. Mrs. Walker is the former HaIlie Boucher of Butte. Mont They have two children, Thomas Joseph and Laurie Hallie. New Demo chairman has been a. round a long time in things politi- cal, knows the political highways and byways; comes of the same school which produced the two 1 greatest living political experts Franklin Roosevelt and Jim Farley.

the trend toward closer air-land CO.
operation.
These planes, acclaimed in some
quarters as the worlds fastest bomb
ers, were the ones that swept over
Berlin on Jan. 80 just as Reich
Marshal Herman Goering was ready
to begin an address.
While heretofore it has been used
primarily as bomber, the Mos
quito has considerable fighting
equipment. including four 20-nm
cannon and -four 1913 machine guns,
beside a rack of four 5O0-pound
bombs.
The Mosquitoes may solve the need
of the Royal air force for long
range escorts for daylight bombing
such as would be necessary when
the second front opens.
MOBILE FIELDS
The advantage would be further
enhanced by the development of
mobile forward air fields, with which
the army eXperimented in its man
euvers.
Both army and air officials were
highly pleased with the field tests
in building up the program for
greater liaison between the two
forces, such as that used by the L.
S. army air forces.
One of the big features of the
maneuvers was the development of
provisions for the Raj to operate
from forward areas on the front by
using mobile air fields, complete
with operations rooms on wheels.

Ministers Boosted
To Higher Rank

WASHINGTON, March % CUP)-
The United States, acting to equal
ize diplomatic relations with all of
the Latin American republics, to-
day provided ambassaoorial rank
foI all its ENJOYS there by boosting
the rank of seven from minister to
ambassador
ENJOYS to the other l3 American
republics already held the higher
rank.
CorreSpondingly, the state de-
partment disclosed that the rank
OF the Washington legations of
seven American republics was being
elevated to that of embassy. That
step means that all 20 of the re-
pLblics now maintain embassies in
this capital
The program was regarded as an
other move to implement the ad-
miniStration's good neighbor policy
by providing the fullest mutual
diplomatic recognition among the
American republics.

Kay Kyser Draft
Appeal Denied

ton is decided on its own merits,
it was believed in responsible quar-
ters that the Kyser appeal rejection
would set the pattern for similar
cases now pending or which might
arise in the future.
The KySer appeal TO the Presi-
dent was made by Elmer Davis,
Owl director, who also asked defer
ment for seven other leading radio
stars Kyser and the others are
serving as consultants to Owl in
the development of radio programs
to disseminate var information and
tc enlist the services of other radio
stars and programs.
Rejection of the Kyser appeal was
upon recommendation of a special
selective service committee formed
to advise the President and to
study each case. Selective service
officials would not comment on the
KySer decision. Owl officials eX-
pressed regret at the action taken.
The demands of war and the
need for fighting men have become
so acute that for a period of three
months now Owl has not been re-
questing such deferments and will
not do so in the future" Davis said.
Deferment of Kyser and of the
others had been asked months ago.
The others were Red Shelton,
Nelson Eddy, Edgar Bergen. Lanny
Ross. Bob Hope, Harold Peary of
the Great Gildersleeve show, and
Freeman Gosden of the Amos and
Andy team.
Decision as to Kyser's induction
now rests with his local draft board
at Rocky Mount, n. C. He probably
will be called soon for induction.

Hay Grader Will
Lend Service Here

F. w. Huffman, hay grader pro-
vided by the state department of
agriculture will be in the office of
County Agricultural Commissioner
B. A. Harrigan henceforth to help
farmers.
Ceiling prices on No. leafy hay
is $50 a ton loose in the field"
Harrigan said. IF the hay is good
enough to make No. leafy grade,
the farmer can get $3.50 ton for
il. The cost of grading will run
from seven to 10 cents a tom The
grader prefers to check the hay in
the field or stack rather than hav-
ing to grade individual loads, Har-
rigan said.
Imperial county hay generally has
been placed in No. leafy grade
but the different grade would be an
advantage to the farmer since the
ceiling price has been established
by the Office of Price Administra-
ton.

stores at pm. Saturday nights was
voted down at meeting of the re-

chamber of commerce Monday night
after some retailers expressed be-
lief such move would work a Sc

Members of the committee had
gathered to discuss the proposal
that was designed to shorten the
hours of store workers.
When the farmers position was
explained, the group voted to con-
tinue with existing closing hours
until midsummer Because of a
labor shortage farmers are being
forced to devote long hours to their
work and many of them find it in
convenient to shop except Satur-

potatoes for military and civilian

The national supply of potatoes
on January l totaled 10l million
bushels, only one per cent below

plies on hand at the present time

bring quick scccess still was uncer-

tain-plenty of hard fighting lay
ahead. AS he falls back, Rommel
will come more and more under the
protection of a fine network of air
bases in north Tunisia while the
Allies move out from the protec-
ton of their own forward airfields.
SPEED Is KEY
Speed was the key of the Allied
plans, not only for forcing Rommel
to fight and fight again before he
gets his breath, but also in view of
the grand strategy which calls for
an invasion of Europe and forcing
a final decision with Hitler as soon
as possible.
American and British planes
again were embarked on a new
campaign against the European
fortress, picking out major German
submarine targets for the initial
smashes.
Resumption of the air war was
