Puzzle Amonq
Health Officials

The battling intestinal and Stom-
ach ailment afflicting large num-
bers of Imperial Valley residents
still was a puzzle TO physicians
Monday es they continued to cope
with the situation.
Physicians declare that they do
not know whether the ailment,
characterized by Giarrhea and
vomiting, is caused by a germ or
virus and most CT them declare
that outbreaks of this ailment
usually are severe in the spring and
fall. Others say they have patients
suffering from the ailment during
all seasons of the year.
Persons of all ages are affected.
Patients including new babies and
adults of all ages. One battling
phase of the ailment is that babies
not permitted to consume anything
but boiled, distilled water and boiled
milk also fall victim tc it No one
but nurses wearing sterilined gar
ments and masks are permitted to
be near these babies and yet they,
in some manner suffer attacks of
it.
Since no one has been able to
determine the cause, physicians
agreed, there is nothing that can
be done to prevent it. Sufferers
respond to treatment. several ply
sicianS said Monday. There have
been few or no deaths directly
blamed on the ailment.
Meanwhile sCme physicians said
the current outbreak is on the
wane while others said they had
more sufferers from it than was
the case 10 days or two weeks ago
The county health department
has taken the matter up with the
state department of health and a
study and survey are under way.

clothing which are essential to the
war effort.
The encouragement gave the
court another afficavit showing
that the company had sought prior
tiles as an industry essential to the
prosecution of the war, and he
claimed that repairs made at the
Chicago plant constituted direct
war production.
DEFENSE ANSWERS
AS the hearing was resumed be-
fore a packed courtroom, counsel
for the company filed an amend
ment answer to the governments
complaint claiming:
j l. That the Hummer Manufac-
turing company, Springfield, ILL.,, a
/ subsidiary, was the only Ward plant
engaged in war production.
2. That the Chicago plants cid
not come under the scope of the
Presidents executive order for the
seizure and that therefore the gov
ernment operation was invalid and
unauthorized by law.
In his argument, Bid6le said the
government was asking only that
the court see that the United
States possession of the plants was
respected He said there was no
need for a court order to authorize
the government to take over the
properties because that was done
| nf
orders anc statutes.
Biddle added that there was great
danger in a labor dispute at the
Ward plants because IAN actual
strike can spread across the country
and cause a serious emergency"
THE President as commander-in-
chief of the armed forces has the
power to prevent such disturb
ance," he said.
"Other presidents have faced such
a dilemma and have acted and con-
gress has backed such action"
CITES SIZE OF FIRM
He said that the size of Mont
gomery Ward should be considered
in viewing the action and explained
that the company did $500, 900, 600
worth of business last year which,
he claimed was essential to the war
and civilian life and moo ern war
involves the entire population"
Biddle said Montgomery Ward
has 30000,CO0 customers and oper-
ates retail stores in AT states.
The Hummer Manufacturing COM
rany. he said, makes airplane pro-
! pellers anG gun mounts for the
prosecution of the war.
| The governments seizure OF the
plant last week grew out of a dis
pute between the company and
the United Retail, Wholesale, and
Department Store Employees union
(CIO). The presidential seizure or
der was issued after the company
refused to comply with a war labor
boaro directive to extend an ex-
pircd contract with the union.

Craemer Blasts
j. 5. Bureaus,
Directive Rule

SALINAS, MAY Charging that
the American people are being reg
ulated TO the point of regimenta-
ton" by Washington bureaus and
departments which have illegally
seized the law-making powers of
the nation. JustuS Craemer, candi-
date for United States senator, told
q breakfast meeting at Salinas that
lit is time we elected legislative
representatives from California who
will fight to break the bureaucratic
Stranglehold in our national capi-
tai"
During the past four years,
charged Craemer, congress has en-
acted only 1924 laws, yet our people
are bewildered and confused by a
bee lam of new orders and regula-
tions. The explanation is that dur
ing the same four-year period, there
were 1897 'directives' issued by the
executive branch of our government
and the various administrative
bureaus, commissions and depart
mentS in Washington handed down
the staggering total of 50.554 orders
and regulations which were given
the full effect of law by dictatorial
bureau heads.
We have been regulated to the
point of regimentation-and it is
time we cleaned up that unholy
mess, and restored the law-making
powers to congress where they be-
long"
Craemer, in fighting mood. also
paid his respects to 'reactionary
interests in California which are
seeking to crcumvent and enlas-
culate our direct primary law by
trying to dictate who shall be the
Republican nominee for U. S. SEN
ator."

fooled by synthetic candid ates. F."

Apaches Lose
To Bisbee 28-12

Bob Kasun and Bill Penn ran
wild last Friday night at the Cop
per City, to lead the Bisbee Prmas
to a 1912 victory over the Nogales
High School Apaches.
The Apaches threatened constant
ly on long drives that originated in
their own territory and were stop
ped cold by the pumas' defense on
the goal line.
The Nogales eleven showed great
strength on their long drives, but
lacked the final punch to carry
them into pay dirt. Nogales had
possession of the ball -four times
inside Of the Bisbee ten yard marker
but failed to score.
Ben Teyechea, Apache guard,
pounced on a Bisbee tumble in the
second period to score for the
Apaches. The half time score was
Bisbee ID, Nogales 6.
Two quick touchdowns in the
opening minutes of the third quarter
set the Pumas way out ahead 28-6.
An Apache drive from mid-field
was ended when Joe Lopez bounced
