Mr.. Paul jenkins,
Imperial Valley Press

MI. 1dul Utlihlilo,
Imperial Valley Press
1t appears to me to be most un-
fortunate that you should nave
printed on your editorial page, the
quoted editorial from the San Ber-
nardino Sun relative to Senator
Sheridan Downey without at the
same time printing something OF
the other side.
Never in my experience of over
twenty years as a resident and tax
payer in this county. have l known
Of more general continuing benefit
TO come for the good of our county
agricultural interests from legis-
lative officials efforts than have
come to this county from the ef-
forts of Senator Downey. I did
rot vote for Senator Downey'S elec-
ton so l cannot be accused OF
doing this as a Downey partisan.
He has promptly, efficiently and
with a great measure OF success
responded to every request pre-
sented to him by our board, direct
ly and indirectly, for some measure
CT assistance, and we know OF
many instances of like action in
response to appeals from individuals
and organizations within this
county. Never, since the Boulder
Dam legislation, has any legislative
member in Congress made a more
powerful appeal for Imperial coun-
ty agricultural interests than did
Senator Downey on December IL,
1912, nor one which had more
effect.
He cannuu co all the things for
us and the other interests of Cali
fornia that he has been able to do
in Washington if he spends his
time visiting" different areas of
California as it is intimated in the
article you printed that he should
do
AS between accomplishing things
"on the job" compared with visit
ing in California and kissing the
babies"-at least during this war
emergency when there is little
enough time within which to do
necessary things, why not have
some editorials from you news
papermen calling attention to tan
g.ble results in a mans absence
working for us rather than this
petty carping on non-essentials?
Yours very truly,

Turks, Allies Confer

Ankara, Nov. g. (Up)--Turkish and Allied statesmen were gather ing at Cairo today for a conference at which. the United Nations were expected by some close observers to hand Turkey an Invitation to war which the Turks would be perfectl yable to decline.
 Turkish Foreign Minister Numan Menemeneioglu and British Ambas- sador Sir Hughe -Huges- sen left yesterday for Cairo to con- fer with British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden on his return trip from the Moscow conference.
 The possibility was not excluded that Secretary of State Cordell Hull and American Ambassador Laurence A. Steinhardt would be present at the Cairo discussions.
 (The British radio reported from Ankara that Steinhardt would leave that city today for Cairo to take part in talks between Menemen- cioglu and Eden).
 The Cairo conference was de- scribed here as purely diplomatic, with no inkling that agreements could be expected until 1t is seen whether the meeting Is followed up by military consultations.
 The event well may pjortend Q fateful moment for Turkey. IL certainly was within the realm of possibility htat, the Moscow con- ference concluded, Turkeys par ticipation in the war would be most helpful to an Allied cafn- paign in the Balkans.
 Whatever decisions were made at Moscow, Eden evidently was del- egated to communicate them to Turkey, since Britain is the only member of the conference with which the Turks have an alliance.
 The possibility that the United Nations decided they needed Turkey in the war was linked closely to the present unsatisfactory cam- paign iri the Aegean.
 The transportation of large num- bers of Allied troops to European Turkey would involve large scale

POLICE CHECKING
 THREE ACCIDENTS
Three Victims Taken to Hospitals for Treatment
 and Observation

Perhaps 1t was the unaccustomed brilliance of undimmed out Water bury, but last night, the second day of the lifting of the light ban, three persons were admitted to Water bury hospital after traffic accidents.
 Anna Yorksaitis, 31, Colonial ave- nue, Waterbury, was admitted to the hospital at 6:10 for treatment of scalp decorations and possible fractured skull after her automobile skidded on Thomaston avenue, into a telephone pole, throwing her from the car. X-rays this morning, how ever, showed no fracture.
 At 6:15, William Pland, 47, 184 North Main street, was admitted for lacerations and a possible fractured vertebrae, which later turned out negative. Hospital authorities re- ported that a car driven by Mrs. Mabel Parks of Thomaston cut in front of Pland's car causing colli- sion.
 At 7:30 this morning, William Fitzpatrick, SO, 91 Railroad Hill street, was admitted with lacera- tions of the scalp. Police Captain William Duggan said that Fitz- patrick walked into the side of a car driven by Domenic Chenudini, 43 Mohawk street at Walsh avenue and railroad Hill streets at 7:l0. Chenudini then drove Fitzpatrick to the hospital.

Pnlladelphla, Pa., Nov. 3-(UP)- Warning that 8 breakdown of the administrations anti-inflation pro- gram would produce American F'as- cism, Vice President Henry A. Wal lace told the Congress of Industrial Organizations today that labor and agriculture must not enter into any unboly alliances to loot the consurn- CTS pocket"
 Any limiting of production and hiking of prices of special agree ments between capital bosses and labor bosses" Wallace told the CIO s sixth annual convention, Ifs plain high lacking.
 "If such practices spread, they will improverish the country" Wallace said.
 Wallace called on the CIO to give full support to President Roosevelt In his fight to roll back prices. "Ris- ing costs" he e'id, must not leave prostrate the so-called white collar worker. He, the greatest consumer of them all, must not become the forgotten man.
 'Thh Presidents fight to roll back food prices in order to prevent econ- omic chaos must be won to save the peace. Labor must unite in this fight"
 Critical Problem
 Tn brief reference to the na- tional manpower crisis, Wallace said that labor should be used to help solve the problem, "one of the most critical we face today"
 He outlined six duties for labor and agriculture, warning them 1t is not sufficient for farmers and workers to maintain lobbies in Washington demanding this and that at the doors of Congress and the White House"
 "The six duties," he said, "are full use of the election ballot, fair ness to the consumer, the obliga- ton to the men overseas in provid- ing for their return, fair treatment of capital and cooperation with the government and industry to prevent unemployment"
