Button! Button! Who has the
$l,887.50?
Red tape and legal technicality
circles buzzed all the way from Ell
Centre to Sacramento Tuesday as
all concerned tried to figure out how
to return $1,887.5O to the city of Ell
Centre even though it is safely
locked away in the accounts of the
county of Imperial.
Not long ago auditors were max
ing their usual check-up of the Ell
Centro's city accounts. The accounts
seemed to be a bit short. The city
family began to worry (And you
know why)
where's that check we always
get from the state board of equal
ization for our share of the alcohol
ic control fund.-" someone asked.
THAT check showed up last year
about this time"
NO RECORD
Record that the check had been
received could not be found. The
city telegraphed the state control
ler's office in Sacramento, through
which the money is apportioned to
the cities and counties, and asked
what had happened to Ell Centro's
share. The state controllers office
sent the city photostatic copy of
the warrant issued to the city of
Ell Centre. 1t had been endorsed
on the back by the county of I'M
Derial. County bank accounts show
ed that the $1,887.50 had been de-
posted to the countys account
along with another check from the
state controllers office.
The county of Imperial had re-
ceived the two warrants the mail
and those responsible had not no
ticed that one of them was made
out to Ell Centre.

Sketchy account of the reported

few" of the landing force still had
not been captured.
Unofficial but competent quarters
here said it would not be surprising
if small commando-type raid had
been made with view to obtaining
information on the Italian defenses
of the territory across the Messina
Straits from Allied held Sicily.
FROM WARSHIPS
Berlin said the British force
landed from warships southeast of
Reggie Calabria. The Nazis con-
tradicted their own claim of "im-
mediate humiliation" with an ac-
knowledgement that two days later
some of the force still was at large.
London quarters recalled that a
number of commando like raids had
been made on various Axis-con-
trolled coasts over many months,
some of them reported only by the
enemy.
German mention of communica-
lions equipment carried by the
landing party suggested the pos
'ibility that the expedition might
have been designed to contact AL
lied sympathizers in Italy and
provide them with equipment for
communicating with the Allies. The

The transition period, he ex-
