FOOD FOR WORKERS

An employer who temporarily
hires workmen for periods of less
than 80 days may obtain rationed
foods for them by applying to his
local war price and rationing board.
This is of special Importance to
farmers who hire labor during the
planting and harvesting season, to
employers of construction workers
on temporary jobs, lumber camp
operators and other seasonal en-
ployers.

the War Price and Rationing Board is closed, he's
studying ways in which to solve the problems of the
people of his community. It's a hard, grueling-and
all too often-a thankless task.
But he has one consolation-the knowledge that he's
helping to make democracy work. The Committee
of Neighbors," of which he is a member, exists today
as a vivid example of the American system in ac-

working out of problems affecting their w~ell-being
and their destiny.

CUP) = Flying Fortresses sunk or
badly damaged seven Japanese
Warships and five cargo vessels in
three consecutive nights of raiding
the enemy's supply base at Kavieng

It was the greatest toll taken by
Cen. Douglas MacArthm's bombers
since the 22-ship score in the battle
Of Bismarck Sea early last month
The final attack at Kayieng yes

LOW-LEVEL ATTACKS
MacArthurs raiders used a low

ing like torpedo-firing aircraft.
The raids were made with the
aid of flares in night hours, while
assisting planes blasted at the
KaVieng airdrome to prevent enemy
interception. All u. S. planes re-
turned safely.
The actual score of the raids for
April 23-4 was: light cruiser
sunk; a heavy cruiser, destroyer
and a 6,000-ton cargo vessel left
sinking: light cruiser or destroyer,
three destroyers and four mer-
chantmen totaling from 27000 to

LET'S NOT
WASTE TIRES

Imperial Valley is experiencing a mar
row escape from a situation resulting
from a shortage of rationed class three
tires We should take warning lest with
intensified stringency in future, we en-
counter a similar situation-and not es-
cape.
A week or so ago, there were some sev-
eral hundred more applicants for pas
senger tires than there were tires to go
around. These applications had been
approved. But board approval doesn't
create the tires, and the proper author
tiles wouldn't allocate enough to meet
the situation
Board members were very worried and
with Just reason. Here were hundreds
of people whose castings would not stand
retreading or recapping. More and more
persons filed their applications.
They had to sift and sift and study
and study as to which ones of the hun
dreds would be allowed the very few tires
obtainable. Obviously fifty tires couldn't
supply 400 tire demand. Although the
board members were not responsible for
the necessity of their close choosing,
they knew they would be blamed by
countless disappointed applicants.
Luckily, by dint of great effort, they
obtained a temporary sufficiency to meet
the demand. But more and more castings
are wearing out; tires good for year
have finished that year. From now on
demand must be expected to pyramid
but from now on tire requirements are
expected to become scarcer and scarcer

should be used no more than is absolutely
necessary. The profligate breaking of

have, IN the interest of good government,
recognition from other elements in socie-

IT'S WORTH A
TRY, ANYHOW

Possibly we are too pessimistic, but
the chances seem against the effort OF
Harvey Hastain to get the state legisla
ture to memorialiZe federal authorities
to arrange for the free importation of
Mexicans to handle our agricultural
crops
The plan of our energetic state assem-
blyman is to permit field workers of the
below-the-border area to come across the
line as they are needed.
All this is good and we'll if it can be
brought about. Such an understanding
with Mexico would be a real boon to this
countys farmers But we fear the
weakness in the plan is not with our au-
thorities, but with the farmers of the
MeXicali valley.
The previous effort of last summer
to accomplish this same end was thwart-
ed primarily because of objections from
the Mexican side of the line, as well as
from some United States authorities.
Large Mexican operators objected to
workers coming here on grounds that
the workers, once allowed to enjoy high
American wage scales would never be
willing to return to their native soil and
work for the few centavos 2 day which
is the prevalent Mexican scale Further
more, what would the Mexican interests
do for workers, II they all were up mere
enjoying what to them would be a most
heavenly prosperity?
Not that this was the publicly aeknowl
edged reason why hundreds of Mexicans
were idle right at time when we need
ed help the most. But it was the back
stage reason, the real reason according
to reliable but unquotable sources of III
formation in Mexicai.
So, it would appear that Mr. Hastain
has double hurdle to clear. First he
must get this countrys administration
with him. Then he must get Washing
ton to bring pressure on Mexico to make
the free entry permissible.
That's big job and we hope this
David can knock down Goliath and
achieve success But our farmers had
better not get their hopes up too high.

KieI Hard Hit in
Ally Round-CLock
Aeria! Offensive

LONDON, April 5 up British
four-engined bombers lin great
strength" battered Germany's big
naval base at Kiel last night to
round out a weekend of around
the clock Anglo American aerial
attacks on Hitler's European for
tress, the air ministry announced
toGay.
Only a few hours after 80 Flying
FortreSSes bombed the Renault
automotiye and arms works in a
Paris suburb yesterday, the British
armada of night raiders cascaded
tor after ton of demolition and fire
bombs on the shipbuilding yards
and naval installations of Kiel
SEVERAL HUNDRED PLANES
The miniStry'S use of the term
"in great strength" in describing
the raiding fleet was taken as an
indication that several hundred Of
Britain's biggest bombers par
ticipated. However, it was under
stood that the raid was not in the
/ 1,000-ton bomb class.
Heavy clouds made full obser-
vation of results impossible. but
several large fires were seen in the
target area" the air ministry COM
mUnique said
Twelve planes were lost.
1t was the list raid of the war
on Kiel, which last was attacked
the night of Oct. 13, 1912.
U-BOAT BLOW
The attack was another blow at
Germany's submarine campaign
which Allied authorities have
acknowledged is hampering the
maSsing of strength for the opening
of a second front in Europe. Kiel
is probably the most important
center for the building and out
! fitting Of U-boats in Germany.
The raid carried the resumed
Anglo American aerial offensive
through its third night on what
appeared TO be a crescendoing
scale. 1t began with British raid
on the U-boat bases Of st. Nazaire
and Lorient on the French Atlantic
coast Friday night, was intensified
Saturday night with a heavy and
concentrated attack on the arms
center of Essen in the Ruhr and
was advanced in daylight yesterday
BY British attacks on targets in
France and Holland, and the
American raid on the Renault
works.

Three new developments in Wash
ington give hope that the curse OF
jurisdictional labor disputes can be
ended for the duration of the war
l. The Senate's Truman Com
mittee investigating the war effort
will have before it four top labor
leaders to testify on this problem
Of inter-union warfare, particularly
y it relates to inefficient use OF
manpoWer in war production.
Q Henry j. Kaiser, in Washing
ton to find some means to bring an
end to the CIO VS.. AFL jurisdic-
tional row which threatens pro-
duction at his three Oregon ship
yards, announced that he has been
holding conferences with the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board and
union leaders and could report
progress in his effort to have "a
negotiated adjustment instead OF
forced adjustment indicating that
the case might be settled outside
the NLRB complaint hearings, now
recessed to March 80.
3. While NLRB officials them
selves are coy on discussing any
undecided case still before the
board, 1t can be stated authOrita-
lively that Robert Is. Watts,
NLRB general counsel, has been
meeting with union labor leaders
in exploratory conversations on
the Kaiser case. This is taken
to mean that NLRB now realizes
il has got hold of hot spud
and would like to let go il it
could find some neat way.

RUS; Beat Back
Fierce German
Attack on Donets

MOSCOW, April 5. CUP)-Ger-
man tanks renewed their assault
against a firmly held Soviet bridge
head ON the south bank of the Don
cts river below Izyum today as the
Russian press warned that a great
Axis summer offensive may be brew
ing.
Soviet artillery broke up the lat
est Donets attack, Gripping six
tanks and Wiping out 200 German
Officers and men, the Soviet mid
day communique said.
CONCENTRATED BLOW
Only yesterday, the Germans
threw 1000 men, 20 tanks and a
large force Of supporting aircraft
into a heavy attack against the
same sector of the front. Only to
fall back after losing 1000 men,
nine tanks, 80 trucks and seven
planes.
Apart from a Russian advance
that resulted in the capture of
"strateeically important positions"
in the northwest Caucasus, the So
Wet midday communique said
there were no changes anywhere
along the l,900-lniie front.

the airmen made eight attacks the

are at present. A step similar to
this was taken at the beginning of
the last war, but the Kaiser idea of
today is to freeze union membership
as 1t now exists. Workmen in one
union would stay in that union for
the duration or as long as they
kept their present jobs, workers not
in any union would stay out, new
workers would have the choice of
joining whatever union they like
CT none.
Such solution would undoubtedly
be considered by the unions a
proposal fer an open shop, or
substitution of maintenance of
membership for the closed shop,
but Kaiser makes it clear that
this is not his problem, but the
province of the National War
Labor Board and the unions
themselves. All Kaiser is in
terested in is getting the dis
putants together and negotiating.
Truman Committee hearings of
the next week or SO should do much
to hasten a settlement. Four union
leaders who will be called to testify
are CIO President Phil Murray,
AFL President Bill Green, AFL
Metal Trades Council President
John Frey and CIO Marine and
Shipbuilders' Union President John
ny Green.
The committee is primarily in
terested i'll getting the greatest pos
sible production out of the existing
labor force, but will tackle the
jurisdictional muddle as one of the
principal causes of interference with
war production.
AS pointed out by Truman CouN
sci Hugh Fulton in recent eXami-
nation of Mr. Kaiser, what a union
jurisdictional fight amounts to in
final analysis is determination of
which union workman must pay
bis dues to- AS far as winning the
war is concerned, that wouldn't
seem to make much difference.

The British engaged IN artillery
duels with the enemy on several
sectors, especially northwest OF

man transport columns. There was
no confirmation here of Axis re-
ports that the British were start
ing a big offensive in the Medjez

that the Americans had started a
heavy attack near Maknassy, but
the United States action east of
Ell Guettar was ON a considerable
scale.

The targets Of the raid, one of
the heaviest of the war, included
beached ships in Kiska, anti-air-
craft positions and a submarine
base. Direct hits were observed and
fires started as hundreds of bombs
smashed into the enemy camp keep
ing the garrison personnel under
ground most of the day.
WarhaWkS and Lightnings went
in ahead of the bombers strafing
the Jap gunners stationed at the
camp beach and on the rim of
cliffs fronting the harbor. All planes
returned and only one suffered any
battle damage.

to the end of the island chain TO
blast Jap installations in Holtz
bay.
