ATTORNEY GENERAL
POINTS OUT PROBLEM
(Riverside Daily PreSs)


Attorney General Robert w Kenny,
Democrat, praised Gov. Earl Warren, a
Republican, in his address to the mem
berS of the Riverside Rotary club this
week. for Warren's program to stream
line California governmental organiza-
tion efficiency of procedure, principally
by means of monthly meetings of the
governors council, to which he invites
the elected officials, such as controller,
treasurer, attorney general and secretary
of state.
Kenny predicted that there will fol-
low an elimination of some of the 100
commissions of the state, many of whose
functions overlap. He predicted, also,
that the Western States commission, of
which he has been appointed the Cali
fornia commission chairman by Warren,
will help to unite eleven western states
in the handling of common postwar prob
lens. including future water supplies to
be obtai-ad from the Colorado river, rela-
tive to which he said it is now ascertain
ed the annual supply of water will be
100000 acre feet instead of 22,000,-
900 acre feet as estimated prior to the
building of Boulder dam.
1t is interesting to recall now that
while politicians did use the figure OF
22.00O,0O0 acre feet in those early pro-
motional days, there were others who
sounded the alarm to the effect that there
was a danger in allowing waters of the
river to be over-appropriated if the up
per basin states, Mexico, Yuma valley
Palo Verde valley. Metropolitan Water
district, All-American canal, and other
prospective users should all be taken
care of.
Among those who pointed to this pos
sibility was A. B. West, president OF the
California Electric Power company, who
as president of the Present Day club
reported the situation at meeting of
that organization. Another was Frank
lin Thomas, professor of civil engineer
ing at California Institute of Technol-
ogy and vice-chairman of the MetropOli-
tan Water district, who said in report
in 1880:
THE authorized construction OF the
Boulder Canyon dam will create reser-
voir of 26,OO0O00 acre feet. somewhat
more than one and one-half times the
estimate average flow of the river. Mr..
E. B. Debler of the United States Bureau
of Reclamation, after allowing for pres
ent and future upper river diversions, es-
Inmates that the mean annual inflow of
the proposed Boulder Canyon reservoir
will be 100000 acre feet in 1898 and
100000 acre feet in 1888, while II ultl-
mately the upper basin states of Wyom-
ing, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah take
advantage of their opportunity for total
annual use of 100000 acre feet, the in
flow might be reduced to 10,340,0O0 acre
feet annually"
1t does look as though the western
states have some problems and that some
of them are vital to Southern California,
including Riverside county.

MELBOURNE. Australia delay
ed)-Our first stop on our MORN
ing rounds on Monday was at the
ten-story general hospital. the first
American one to be set up on
foreign soil. Our men arrived here
on February 28th, 1912. and were
fortunate to be able to take over
the finished hospital building from
the Australians, who had not yet
moved in.
On March 5th, 1912, they started
to work and since then they have
admitted a large number of pa
tients. Today they have battle
casualties. some malaria cases, and
the usual variety of illnesses that
will appear when you gather a
large group of men together.
WOMEN HELPFUL
I saw a good sample CT the work
being done by the women of Aus
tralia during the rest of the day
and I am sure what I have seen
here has been duplicated through
out the country. We went all over
the Red Cross headquarters, where
/ the usual activities were being
carried on. Lady Dugan, wife OF
the governor of Victoria, has turned
the ballroom of Government House
into a workroom, where all the
surgical dressings are made anc
any emergency calls are met. Al
many as seventy women work there
at a time, sometimes staying the
whole day. We must never forge
how generous these women of tht

many bossted today that former
Premier Benito Mussolini had been
snatched from the new Italian gov
eminent and Allied quarters spec
ulated that if true, this might mean
the beginning of an attempt by
Adolf Hitler TO pump life into the
discredited Facisist party and re-
vive the AXIS partnership.
Nazi reports of Mussolini's re
lease conceded with word from
various sources that Italians still
under German domination were
striking and resisting Hitlerian ag-
gression to the best of their ability
1t was believed that Hitler was
trying desperately to maintain the
fiction of F'ascism and Naxism as
fighting team. with Mussolini still
the leader of Italians opposed to
the Allies.
The German officials news
agency, DNB, reported from the
| Wilhelm-Strasse i'm Berlin that
Mussolini was in "a completely
| safe place" 1t was said that he
could be expected to Influence
formation of new Fascist govern
ment although it was too early for
developments in that direction.
WOULD REVEAL FACTS
One view was that Hitler had
gone to great lengths to retrieve
Mussolini in the fear that II
Duce's depressed and falling con-
dition would prompt him to reveal
many embarrassing political and
military facts should he fall intO
Allied hands.
CThe Nazi-controlled Hilversun
radio in Holland reported that Mus
solini's son. Vittorio, had arrived in
Germany also, u. S. government

The French newspaper depeehC
Algerienne at Algiers said thai
King Victor Emanuel and Premier
Marshal Pietro Badogiio were be
lieved to be in Sicily but this was
not confirmed by any other source
They also had been reported IN
southern Italy.
The Dakar radio said that there
had been fresh outbreaks involving
Italians and German troops in the
Turin and Naples areas and quot
ed "nectral' observers as saying
that the internal situation in Italy
rapidly was approaching a state of
civil war.
COMPLETE CONTROL
The Swiss radio, recorded by the
exchange telegraph agency, stated
that the Nazis were in control of
northern Italy down to line run
ming between La Spezia to Rayenna.
The province, of Tuscany and
Abqizzi- -Molise, south OF this line,

Italians.
The Swiss reports said that the
Germans had occupied Como last
night. The Zurich correspondent of

eral hundred Nazi Gestapo agents
had arrived at Milan and Turin to
round up leaders of five political
parties and of trade unions for de-
portation to Germany. Serious COM
munist outbreaks we're reported al
those cities.
MARTIAL LAW
Marshal Albert Kesselring, Ger
man commander for central and
southern Italy. announced in a
Rome broadcast that he had de-
clared martial law in areas under
his jurisdiction.
The number of Italian Warships
revealed to have escaped the Ger
mans after Italy's capitulation rose
to 43 following the arrival at
Malta of three more destroyers and
an undetermined number of sub
marines from among her fleet of go
Madrid reports said four OF the
10 Italian naval units that reached
the Spanish Baleric islands had
scuttled themselves last night, but

80 TOWNS FALL

More than 90 towns and villages,
including Beretstovets, 90 miles to
the northeast, fell to Soviet forbes
advancing up to 1919 miles in "a
hours toward Kiev, biggest Axis
base in Russia. Ivangorod. slightly
southeast of Beretstovets, also was
captured.
But the greatest advances of all
were being recorded in the central
and southern sections of the Uk-
raine, where hundreds of square
miles were being mopped up by
mechanical and CosSack cavalry
units making deep thrusts toward
the Dnieper river and the Sea of
Azov.
Every attempt of the Germans
to pivot on previously-p prepared de-
fense points was broken and more
than SO localities were liberated in
advances of up to 18la miles. Thirty
German tanks, including 10 Cotton
Tigers, were knocked out in the re-
pulse of Axis counterattacks.

Bryansk, at the hinge of the

Macarthur Louded
For Leadership

When the chapter of war history
dealing with the Battle of New
Guinea is written. it will be one of
the most important in the whole
book. That is what military men
here tell me.
They began telling me that bit by
bit just before the second front in
Africa opened. Then the African
story wiped everything else off the
first pages. Recently they have been
talking about New Guinea again.
They keep saying to me a little re-
proachfully. the American people
don't realize what Macarthur has
achieved down in that jungle coun-
try"
These aren't the Macarthur
men"-there are such in the army,
a little group Of hero worshipers who
perhaps worship bit more fervently
than logically. But the men who
have watched the New Guinea cam
paign from Moresby straight up over
the Owen Stanley range and down
the other side and up to the eastern
coast of the island tell me that Mac
Arthur and the leaders he has about
him have done great and sig
nifcant job.
1t is great because ne has accom-
plished what it was freely predicted
the Japs could not do (and didn't.
1t is significant because it has proved
that Australians and Americans, CIV

his own game. They can (and have)
beaten him with less training. with

British Back Eisenhower

The British Government, which, according to some
reports not enthusiastic about the prominent role
played by Admiral Darlan in connection with the
patton of North Africa, gives the world in general
good example of proper action in connection with war
activities.
Branden Bracken, British Minister of information
in formal statement declares that "the British Gov
eminent has given General Eisenhower the power of
attorney and will support him unquestoningly what
he does.
This is the only way for Allies to fight war
Nothing be gained through fruitless controversy
about matters of detail and there is prospect for
successful military action unless the people of allied
countries learn to stand behind responsible military
leaders.
When General Eisenhower selected to COM
mand the expedition that occupied North Africa he
entitled to the confidence of both the British and
American governments and, may add of the people
of the two countries The British Government, regard
less of any difference of opinion to what has hap
pened, makes its position clear.
It might assist the of the United Nations
if the people of the United States followed the example
of the British Government giving unquestioning sup
port to commanders of fighting forces that engaged
against the enemies of both countries.
