Collector Hoferbert announced
he has mailed to all taxpayers In
Washington and Maryland who
filed returns in this area for 1912
notices showing the amount of each
individuals 1912 tax and the
amounts paid on that tax. These
are two additional figures which
income taxpayers will need in prep
aration of their returns for 1943
The notices should be sent back to
the collector along with the re-
turn.
Income tax blanks also are being
mailed out to all taxpayers by the
collector.
Every employer is required, on OF
before January 81, to give to each
employe a receipt on Form wa
showing how much wages were paid
the employe during 1943, and how
much tax was withheld. These re-
ceipts supply two important figures
needed for making the annual re-
turn and the best time to prepare
and file the return, according to the
collector is "as soon as the employe
gets his receipt"
Forms for filing the returns on
the past year are available at the

head of good. juicy stories. She sighed and
called an Office boy: Get me the clips please,
on this Lieutenant Enders who was killed the

So she read the saga of Enders's fight across
the South Pacific, his escape from Bataan,
his fierce air battles from base in Australia,
and the last terse note: "his plane unreported
after skirmish with enemy fighters over New
Guinea" And she read the eulogies from his
home town, and the proud. tight-lipped trib-
utes of the men in his fight command.
When she had finished the clippings, Wanda

SPECIAL SES SION RATES
A PPLAUSE FOR SPEED

With the governors signature placed
on the balance OF the measures enacted
by the recent special session of the legiS-
lature, finis is written on a session that
is to be commended for speed. 1t was in
many respects an unusually busy session
as Governor Warren had listed some
thirty-tWo matters to be considered. Only
through the spirit of cooperation and an
organization well-tuned to move the bus
mess was it possible to complete the task
in eight days.
A number of legislative matters had
been urged to go on the agenda but only
such pressing measures as needed M
mediate action were listed and there was
no effort at "sulking" because these We're
not placed on the calendar. The COVER
nor has indicated that he will not heSl-
tate to call subsequent sessions II It ap-
pears eXpedient to do so.
Sixteen measures were signed last week
end and these in several line-ups earmark
SS2. .775, 900 for postwar public works
They topped the legislative list. Two OF
these laws transfer S75,000,000 from the
states surplus fund to the postwar en-
ployment fund to be used when cOnstruc-
ton can start 1t is estimated this fund
will reach S135, 100000 year hence.
With the postwar financing thus for
warded it behooves all counties to make
speed in preparation of program for
presentation to a final Sitting" board
on postwar projects.
A number of counties long since COM
pleted their programs. Imperial county
is one of the laggards. Nearly three
months have passed since an initial step
was taken to unite the county for the
purpose of rounding up a substantial,
working postwar building and construc-
ton program. At that time 1t was plan
ned to have a general countrywide com
mittee representing all communities and
activities to take over the entire pro-
gram of developing logical and needed
projects. That committee still is incom-
plete Time becomes more than ever
factor and if this county is to equal foot
ing with the rest of the state action can
not be delayed longer.

BALKY DIXIE GIVES
DEMOCRATS CONCERN

The determined attitude of at last
three states of the "solid south is Civ
ing the Democratic leaders something
to ponder over. 1t is disturbing. 1t could
be the nucleus for bolt at the Chicago
convention next month and with party
stalwarts like Jim Farley on the roam
from the party folds, this brewing revolt
in the south might become deciding
factor in the November election.
But whether or not there is bolt and
a second Democratic party formed and
candidates nominated, the situation IN
the three southern states, Texas, Missis-
sippi and North Carolina may result in
a bolt in the electoral college which
could be more disastrous to the Chicago
nominee than third party, assuming, of
course that the Chicago nominee will be
Roosevelt.
Only custom requires that the duly
elected presidential electors shall cast
their votes for the party under whose
bann;r they were chosen. There IS no
law to govern their actions or to compel
them to vote for their party nominee or
the nominee of any other party for that
matter. 1t is their prerOgative TO cast
their votes when the electoral college
meets for person they believe best quail
fled to serve.
And so it could happen that the 45
electors from those three states would
not vote for the convention candidate
and should they decide that the Republi-
can nominee is better fitted and cast that
many votes for him, therein could lie the
decision.
If our memory serves US correctly such
action has happened but once in recent
elections That followed the famous

CHARACTER STILL COUNT
IN WORLD OF FUTURE
(RiverSide Daily PresS)

(RiyerSide Daily Press
If one can believe only half of what
is to be read about it, that brave new
world of the future will be most Won
drous place indeed.
Therell BE no more illness because
magical lights, filters, traps and sprays
at us. ANY that survive will be blitzed
by miracle drugs before they can estab-
lish beachhead in our bodies.
Food will be so crammed with vita
MINIS that We'll have nary tooth all
ment, and men won't get thin ON top and
thick through the middle. The ladies will
be able to run their households by push
ing a few buttons, or maybe setting
dial or two. There might even be
gadget to change the baby, or maybe
babies won't need changing, we've forgot
ten which.
Automobiles, if they still have EN-, will
be something out of this world. and most
of us will fit through the skies in hell
copters, or in planes that become autos
at the flip Of a wrist.
We cannot be sure of how much of
this will come true. Perhaps a good deal
of it. But there is one thing we are sure
about No matter what the brave new
world brings, it Will not bring substi-
tute for character, honesty, sportsman
ship or religion. That means there will
be no substitute for such organizations
as the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, which recently observed its hun
dredth anniversary, and the things for
which it stands.
In the century since it was started in
1914 by twelve young men in London
bedroom, the ''Y" has seen many mavels
become commonplace: the railroads, mo-
tion pictures, telegraph, telephone radio,
automobiles, submarines and aeroplanes
to mention but a few. 1t is entirely pos
sible that during the next hundred years
there will come advances that will far
surpass any of these.
But nothing is going to surpass Chris
tian ideals. Whether our kids tear around
in model 7 jalopias or streamlined
planes, they will need the Boy Scouts

will still count.

BY WENDELL l.. WILLKiE

The administration las made
many proteStationS OF noble AIMS
in foreign policy, but when the
moment came to act on them, it
has hesitated and compromised. Its
foreign policy has not been to sup-
port American principles OF free
dem. 1t has dealt with the Fascist
elements IL conquered countries; it
has disregarded the will Of the
people of those countries; it has
ctubbornly and incredibly refused to
acknowledge the committee Of lib
Grafton as the provisional French
government. 1t has been canny
and personal and subjective. 1t has
called this policy eXpediency. But
since the policy has produced little
but dislike. distruSt and loss of
prestige for the United States with
out achieving the intended political
aims, it has not been eXpedient.
The formulation of an affirmative
foreign policy by the Republican
party is thus a particularly impor-
tant platform task.
There have been sharp divisions
within the party concerning the
extent tc which it is desirable for
the United States TO maintain and
develop relations with other ma
tions. But surely the long debate,
the events through which we lived
before the war, and the war itself
have made plain that American
policy cannot be separated into two
unrelated compartments, one label
led foreign policy ard che dOmes-
tic policy. The two areas Of action
are inseparable; what happens in
either Immediately affects the other.
NOT SEVERAL WORLDS
We are not living in several
worlds. Our small American farms,
our huge American factories. have
close bonds with what is r.uauced
in the Andes and the hills Of Szech-
uan, with the complex trade nix IL
anism of London. with the cargOes
that sail from Bombay and Oslo
and Melbourne. Whatever We
do at home constitutes for
eign policy. And whatever we dc
abroad constitutes domestic policy
This is the great, new political fact.
Furthermore, we have learned
conclusively that in the modem
world the United States cannot
survive militarily, economically or
politically without close and cen
tinuing cooperation with the other
nations of the world.
In stating is foreign policy plat
form the Republican party thould
reflect this twentieth century
knowledge
/. It's platform should demand the
immediate creation Of a function
ing council Of the United Nations,
as a first step toward the ultimate
Imperial Valley press., 1944-06-20

formation of general international
organization, in order that directly,
or by representation, all the reo-
piles CT the United Nations may
have a voice in the political de-
cisions that already are being made
in the world So far these decisions
are being made - or in some cases,
sidestepped and postponed - by
Great Britain, Russia and the
United States, with China brought
in aS a courtesy member OF the
group where Asia IS concerned.
GREAT POWERS ASK
Naturally TIE task Of safeguard
ing the world from aggression will
have to rest mainly on the should-
ers Of the great powers, since they
alone possess the necessary military
force. But the peoples of the mall
nations, and others not so small,
whose political status and economic
welfare are deeply involved in the
decisions to be made, will not and
should not permit three or four
great powers to continue to die
tate their destiny. They must have
a voice not only when decisions
are made affecting their CWn fate
but in shaping the world in which
they will live. This is right; it is
what will prove necessary IN prac-
tice: and in the long run it will
be advantageous to the national
interest of a people with ideals
like ours.
2. The platform should be clear
ana unambiguous in its attitude
toward sovereignty. 1t should not
adopt marrow natiOnalistic inter-
pretations of the term: nor should
it substitute quibbling words like
integrity It should emphasize
that our sovereignty is not some
thing to be boarded, but something
to be used. The United States
should use its sovereignty in &C.
operation with other powers to
create an effective international Or
ganization fer the good OF all. His
tory should have taught us that We
gain more by cooperating to protect
the general interest than by work
ing alone for some imagined sep
arate interest.
3. 1t should declare for a revision
of the country tariff policy. The
United States bv reciprocity ar
angements should lower tariffs
and break down trade barriers. This
should be done in consultation with
other nations. For no longer can
tariffs be arbitrarily determined by
one nation without damaging the
interest of others and provoking
reactions that damage its own in
.terests.
STABLE CURRENCY
4. Republican platform must rec
ognize the fact that world currency
stabilization is indispensable tc
the revival Of world trade. At
the same time it ahould rec
cgnize realistically that the require
ments of TIE period Of transition
from war 10 peace and of the long
years that will follow are quite diff

Out of Washington publicity

the three principal points of view
on the future of public housing in
the entire country:
McCARRAN BILL ASKS

slum clearance by public purchase,
resale of sites to private enterprise
for housing construction by private
capital, payment of rent subsidies
from public welfare funds for low
income tenants unable to pay full
scale rents yielding a fair return
to the owner. 3. The Capper bill,
which would permit private bidding
on housing projects but would re-
serve to the government all loW-in-
