OUR LEGISLATORS
AND THEIR RECORDS

Organization of the new state legisla-
ture again reflects credit on Imperial
county out of all proportion to this areas
ratio Of population.
The county's legislators, one Repub-
lican, one a Democrat, but both elected
without opposition on both tickets, are
as much III tune with the non-partlsan
regime OF Governor Earl Warren as any
other assemblymen or senators in Califor-
mia. Their committee appoint ments serve
as well as anything else to demonstrate
this point
Senator f. George Luckey, Demo-
crat in a preponderantly Republican up
per house, is Vice-chairman of the SEN
ate's agricultural committee and Will
serve on other committees dealing with
financial institutions, governmental effl-
cheney and military and veterans affairs
Anyone knowing Luckey's activities IN
Sacramento knows that he has IN the
past baked at many committee appoint
mentS which have been offered HIM, argu-
ing that he cannot devote sufficient time
to the Job if he is on too many commit
tees
The scope of committees upon which
Luckey will serve this term, and their
particular application to some form of
life in Imperial county in almost every
instance, seems to indicate that the Braw-
lev cattleman again has made his selec-
tions and acceptances wisely.
Assemblyman Harvey E. Hastain, in
the lower house, holds equally vital COM
mittee appointments. Like Luckey, he is
vice-charman of the agricultural COM
mittee. and in addition he will serve on
one of the most vital of all assembly COM
mittees-the ways and means committee
steering center for virtually all legls-
lation. Hastains other committees in
clude labor and capital, social welfare
and the conservation, natural resources
and planning committees.
Hastain's earnest application to the
public interest, and his firm foundation
of common sense, have brought him re-
cognition far beyond the measure of his
seniority in the assembly.
Imperial county has reason to be proud
of both of its legislators, and the place
in the sun they have assured this region
for another term.

LONDON, Jan. 16-(UP)-Allied
and Axis reports indicated today
that the battle for annihilation of
the Afrika Korps in Tripolitania
was imminent, if not already un-
der way.
The Germans expected 10 di-
visions of the British Eighth Army
to begin a great enlightenment ma
neryer against the remnants of the
Afrika Korps today, and today's
communique from the Middle East
ern command reported the probable
preliminarieS to a great battle Oc-
Cured yesterday
CASUALTIES INFLICTED
Patrol activity increased and cas-
ualties were inflicted on the Afrika
Korps in several sectors, the Brit
ish communique said.

in Tripolitania, was rocked by
heavy formations of bombers

LISBON, Jan 16.-UP)-Amer-
lean pilots of II Airacobra P-39
fighters, forced down yesterday by
lack of gasoline, were interned to-
day in a fortress at ElVas, near
the Spanish frontier.
None of the Americans was IN
jured and their internment condl-
tions were said to be good. Au-
thorities would not allow corre-
spondents to speak to them, nor
reveal their names.
The Airacobras were eScortlng
two American bomberS southwark,
presumably to Gibraltar from Brit
ain. Storms had blown them Off
their course, and short of gasoline,
they had to land at Portel Asaca-
VEN. The bombers circled over the
airport. then roared on south.
One American pilot tried to de-
stroy his plane by hUcling a hand
grenade against it, but the gren-
ade failed to explode. The Ameri-
can military attache rushed to Por-
tel Asacavem, which is LisOons
airport. to aid his fellow officers.

Afrika Korps in Battle
For Life in TripoIitonio

gomery had deployed 10 divisions
three of tiiem armored-in the
Wadi Zem Zem area, l65 miles east
of Tripol. the German official news
agency claimed that he was now
ready to open his attack.
Montgomery is expected to
launch his attack on January 49,
an agency dispatch broadcast by
Radio Berlin said. Masses of me-
chanized British units and artil-
lery have been concentrated oppo-
site the southern wing of the Axis
forces. To all appearances, the
British commander in chief will
repeat his already several times
frustrated attempt to encircle the
Axis forces by large-scale attack
from the desert"
TYPICAL PLAN
Although the dispatch was suS-
pected because of it's origin, it was
thought here that such plan
would be characteristic of Mont
gomerv, daring commander whose
intention has been to annihilate
the Afrika KOrps.
If Montgomery could encircle the
part of the Afrika Korps that es-
caped destruction at Ell Alamein,
he would save the Allies a great
deal of trouble If the Afrika Korps
were destroyed east of Tripoli, then
Tripol, itself. probably would fall
without a fight. The so-called
little Maeinot line, along the Tu-
nisian- -Tripolitanian border, would
also be obviated as an obstacle. IT
Marshal Erwin Rommel, presum-
ably intending to withdraw into
Tunisia. could reach the little Ma
ginot line, he might be able to
give the Allies considerable diff
ficulty there.
SANDSTORMS NOTED
Allied reports from the desert
Yesterday said sandstorms were CIV
ing the Eighth Army trouble, al
though they apparently did not
greatly interfere with air activity
The Axis had reported fierce
fighting in TInisia, but a commu-
niuue from Allied North African
headquarters yesterday said there
was no change in the ground sit
uation. But the air offensive
against Axis obJectives in Tunisia
went ahead without letup.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-01-17
GRIPES

There are different kinds of gripes,
One is the half-humorous sort which acts
as a safety-valve to people whose rou-
tines are upset and who have relatives
in the fighting forces. They take out a
real anxiety in little fussing about cof-
fee. sugar, gasoline This is nothing to
worry about. Soldiers do it among them
selves, but when they speak seriously OF
the army they are high in praise and uni
ty of feeling. Housewives, too, do 1t
among neighbors at the grocery. Asked
seriously they will praise the fairness OF
their grocer, defend the rationing idea,
say they are only too glad to be DONG
something about the war. They point
with pride to the $4,000 tons of food late
ly landed in North Africa. They saved
some of it themselves
There is, however, another kind of
gripe. bitter. born of prejudice without
reason. Often, when its source is tracked
down, it is found to be coming-distantly
and disguised, but none the less surely
from some little nest of axis sympathlZ-
ers. These know that anything which
makes people suspect their leaders or
lose faith in their army or their country S
ideals makes for defeat.
When gripes are heard, it's we'll to try
to distinguish which class they belong to.
The safety-valve folks can always laugh
at themselves. Why not let drop word
on the side of faith and unity? Some
folks would like to be on that side but
have been laughed at when they tried to
say so. They need moral support.
Where bitterness and unreasOn are
maintained, somewhere behind them an
enemy has been at work with talk both
untrue and dangerous.

THE FLYNN APPOINTMENT

"Boss" Flynns jump at President
Roosevelt's behest from Democratic ma
tional committee chairman to nominee for
appointment as ambassador to Australia
was an unfortunate move at time when
a mans mental and moral stature alone
should qualify him for an important dip
lomatic post.
All of his political life Boss Flynn has
been strictly party man, owing his alleg-
lance to party above all else, hushlng up
scandal if it were necessary to preserve
the outward sanctity of the party, con-
doning greviOus mistakes If they were
made in the party'S name. From the mo-
ment of his rise to power in the Demo-
cratic party, he has never been free from
suspicion and attack as a foremost dis
penser of patronage where it would get
the most votes.
Taken out Of strictly party ranks,
Flynn may prove to be an able ambas-
sador. He may have the extra lntelh-
gcnce an ambassador should have, and
the broader view of genuine public inter
est President Roosevelt must believe
that he would have.
Yet the country cannot afford to take
a chance in times like these. This is an
emergency in which our leaders-who
lead all Of the people, and not just one
party-should do their utmost to resist
giving the impression of paying off poll
tical debts with public appointments:
We need men today in whom we can all
have confidence Boss Flynn is not that
kind of man.

Thursday night, and again during

ton anG military stores were hit,

He has withdrawn certain last-moment
appointments made by Olson and has
removed temporary commission similar

out a network Of listening posts, by which
Olson. if he chose, could have recorded
intimate conversations, carried on whlle
the guest the Governors office thought
everything was above the board.
The incoming Governor should not be
hampered by appointments made by the
outgoing executive. The new Governor
has the confidence of the majority of
the people that the outgoing man has
lost. He is entitled to have his aides
around him to help him make good his
program.
Warren already has said that he favors
removing the powers of the outgoing
Governor to make last minute appoint
ments. We hope that he puts through
this program. Last minute appointments
such as were made by Olson are not MADE
for the benefit of the state but rather to
pay political debts, and are the best evil
