IApS LEFT BEHIND

tSan Bernardlno SUM
It must occur to the war news reader
occasionally that Macarthur Nimltz. and
Halsey have left lot of Japs behind
them in their progress to the Philippines.
Thousands of enemy troops are known
to have been on Bougainvlle and neigh
boring islands in the northern Solomons.
New Ireland and the tip of New Britain,
where Rabaul is located, contain thou
sands more At one time 10000 japanese
were reported to have been penned up in
northern New Guinea, desperately try
ing to survive.
As Admiral Nimitz advanced in the
Central Pacific, he bypassed many Jap
strongholds. including Ponape, Truk,
Hall. Nomoi, Oleai, Eauripik and zap in
the Caroline islands. To the north. Mar
Gus and Wake are far behind the battle
lines.
Will these laps ever become trouble
some and force backtracking of Ameri-
can armor to deal with them? 1t isn't
likely. Advancing American forces have
destroyed planes, ships, installations and
the bulk of Japanese supplies at these
points. The enemy can not be re-supplled
except by submarine, and that could be
only a trickle Neither could these troops
be evacuated in any important numbers.
The only handicap to American armed
forces in the Japs left behind is that
thev require patrolling American men
and weapons to keep them from going
berserk.

TWO STATES lNDORSE
RIGHT TO WORK" PLAN

Returns from last Tuesdays election
disclose that two states with the Right
to Work. proposition on ballots gave
that plan Endorsement while voters of
California said an emphatic No Ark
ansas and Florida will undertake to
test the measure.
From the moment the proposition was
given ballot place in California, there
arose a rather mixed sentiment. Finally
lines were drawn and bitter campaign
was waged for and against with labor
split on opposition and CONSERVATIVES"
divided on support. For the most part,
labor opposed the plan. More money was
spent on this No II proposal than on
the other eleven combined. EXpendi-
lures. in fact were so heavy that a we'll
founded move to enact something IN the
way of curb on future outlays is in the
making.
Final figures are to be announced on
expenditures but the total bill, for and
against, will run around S450,000 and
likely more.
One argument used by the opposition
was that if enacted, the measure would
face a lengthy court fight on the asser-
ton it was unconstitutional. Like many
other ballot proposals, this argument
does hold water Now the whole matter
can be thrashed out in other quarters as
there is no doubt action on its constitu-
tionality will be taken In both Arkansas
and Florida. And so, in time, this uncer-
tainty will be removed.
Some elements which fundamentally
favor such a measure Joined the opposi-
tion in California, basing such action on
the belief it was not the proper time to
bring the plan to an issue; that it should
not have been on the ballot in preSl-
dental year election. 1t was this groups
belief that the national issues overwhelm-
ed any opportunity to consider the pro-
posal adequately.
Whether efforts to place it on the bal
LOT two wears hence remains to be seen.
At any rate it is likely court rulings will
re rendered in the other two states before
the 1916 election.

a NATION HUMILIATED
[ Riverside Daily Press)

(RlVerSlde Daily PreSS)
Labor boss Petrillo. head of the Amer
lean Federation of Musicians. for reasons
of his own. banned the making of phon-
ograph records and transcriptions. The
American public and the armed forces
are denied the pleasure OF recorded mu-
sic, by this arbitrary order.
In the words of the New York Times:
"TO find out how this situation came
about. one has merely to review the labor
laws which the congress has put upon the
books and the laws and amendments that
the administration has opposed, together
with the Interpretation of the existing
laws by the supreme court The PLAIN
truth is that the powers exercised by Mr..
Petrillo ae powers conferred upon HIM
by acts of congress as interpreted by the
supreme court.
Congress has made it illegal for en-
ployers to discourage membership III
labor union, but has refused to make 1t
illegal for unions to cOerce workers INTO
membership Congress according to the
supreme court, has granted sweeping I'M
munities to labor unions under the anti
trust acts. the anti-conspiracy acts and
even the misunderstanding acts. These
immunities are simply go-ahead signals
TO unions to commit acts that would be
illegal if committed by anyone else

CARELESS VOTING

In a Los Angeles legislative district
last Tuesday more than 1000 votes were
cast for the late lamented Lee Bashore
who died after the ballots had been
printed. He had won his election at the
primaries.
These ballots were marked despite the
fact that unusual efforts were made to
advise voters of the situation. In TINS
connection cards were distributed 10
each and every registered voter IN the
district with explicit explanations, De-
cause it was thought possible majority
of the voters would forget or ignore the
vacancy and "elect" the deceased candl-
date. Legal experts differed as TO Wnat
the situation would have been IN that
case. and court action likely would have
followed to determine the status OF the
write-in candidate.
The instance draws attention to care
lessness or thoughtlessness IN exercising
the right of franchise.
In a far western state four years ago
q candidate for governor was defeated by
wrong ballot scratching Yet the cam
naign was built around that very thing
and the thousands of voters who erred
in their scratching" very sincerely de-
parted from their party in crossing over;
Under the election laws, the intention OF
the voters could not be considered. Inc
ballots simply were not counted at all.
AS time runs along, more and more
issues other than choice OF candidates
will appear on ballots. There should be,
it seems a plan set up whereby school
for voters could be established along
non-partisan lines so that errors and
careless voting can be kept to small
mark.

Ickes Sets Out
Policies for
u. 5. Newspapers

WASHINGTON, Nov 13. tUP)-
Secretary of Interior Harold l.. 1ckeS
said the nations rejection Of news
parer leadership in the presto entlal
election indicated "a dangerous de-
cline in reader confidence without
which a free press lacks strength.
Ickes said that American news
paper overwhelmingly supported
Governor Thomas E. Dewey against
a fourth term fer President Roose-
welt, citing a poll by Ee1tor ana
Publisher, trade publication, which
showed 68.5 per cent of 1924 news
papers answering a queStlonnalrc
actively opposed TO a fourth term.
This nation again has questioned
in ringing tones the right OF the
press to represent readers opinion,
Ickes said at a press conference.
The significant fact is a 16-year
trend rejecting major change in
our national credulity,' he addec,
pointing out that in 1882 approx
mately 20 per cent of the nation S
newspapers supported the President
against only 1T per cent in the
1914 campaign.
WANTS, REASON
He called upon the newspaper
publishers Ito explain OF comment
upon this very bad and unhealthy
situation" and said they must en-
bark on a campaign of "self-de-
struCtiOn."
Il am only raising questions which
the publishers themselves should
raise" he said. NO one is more
interested in a free press than l
am, but some explanation is needed
as to why they had such little in
fluence in the greatest campaign
since 1864
Ickes said he believed the bulk
of the newspapers did not GO an
honest job of reporting" in the CAM
paign. He added in response to a
question that the press services did
"a more honest unbiased job"
Ickes said in a great many in
stances newspapers supporting Dew
Cy attacked the President along the
same lines as the Republican politi-
clans, who, he said. had Waged a
campaign OF distortion, misrepre-
sentation and falSehood."
SCENTS DANGER
This is a terribly dangerous Sit
uation," he said. THE people don't
believe what they read and the
newspapers are not voicing public
opinion
He charged that the newspapers
have become big investments with
interests in profits"
The editorial policy does not
come from the fellows who do the
writing, but rather from the fel-
lows on top, the business office,
/ Ickes said.
He called for a return of the old
time strong and vigorous editorial
writer who would both reflect and
stimulate public opinion"

Fiqhters Welcome
Comic Strips
After FcxhoIes
BY WILLIAM c. WILSON

AT FOR w ARD HOSPITAL,
LEYTE, Philippines, Nov 13. lUP)
Patients at this hospital, all OF them
weary from conftant fighting and
many Of them seriously wounded,
momentarily forgot their water
filled foXholes and the dcathly chat
ter of machine-gun fire Monday
while they worried over the plights
of favorite comic strip characters:

said one big, strapping fellow Who
with II other Americans helped re-
pulse a fierce Japanele ccunttr-
attack Sunday.
These Fl ont line casualties, IN
cluding many surgical cases, found
the months-old comic strips along
with other minor miracles somehow
provided by this 603d hospital clear

He and the other wounded here

BORROWED BOOKS
(San Bernardino SUM

INdn btTHdTuIHO oUHJ
Even in war times, new questions are
constantly arising in civilian life that
must be classified with the unansw2r-
ables. Now comes the proper status of
the borrowed book.
The obvious answer is that no one
should ever lend a book he prizes if he
expects to see it again. There are many
lending groups, including those who
press upon visitor some volume with
the commendation you just must read
this" and who recall, after the book has
gone. that it had been promised to an
ether friend.
Unless the borrowing has embraced a
large and valuable library, it does not
become larceny recognizable by law.

This map shows how vulnerable all Hitler-held
Europe is to the gigantic Allied air offensive
both tactical and strategic-that is blasting the
Germans today from England on the coast of
invaded France and from the Mediterranean and
bases in Russia.
This is invasion, as Gen. H. H. Arnold, COM
mander of the American Air Forces, says,IN
THE DEADLIEST SENSE OF THE WORD.
When thousands of bombers roar over the
continent to strike deep into the heart of the Ger
man war machine or to smash defenses on the
Channel coast we have an "army on the wing"
The planes these fighting men are flying are
the worlds best. The men that fly them and the
men who man the guns are without peer.
They can hit their targets through as much
as $4,000 feet of thick cloud overcast Neither the
Nazis nor bad weather can stop the American
Air Forces.
And they hit hard
Berlin knows the strength of our Army on
Wings" Berlin has been hit hard and often. And
vital German war centers all over the continent
have been smashed. Remember Ploesti and
Schweinfurt, Hamburg and Hanover.
Gen. Arnold says that our offensive has been
80 effective that the Germans are forced to pick
which "of our missions they can afford to oppose
and which they'll have to meet by the simple ex-
pedent of sticking their heads in the sand"
Day after day and night after night, the days
and nights extending into weeks and months the
bombers and fighters are rolling up a tremendous
toll of enemy planes. The damage they wreak
cannot be estimated.
And this aerial offensive is increasing.
1t is, indeed INVASION IN THE DEAD
LEST SENSE OF THE WORD.
