House Turns
to Post War
ReCOnVerslOn

Washington, Sept. sap The
House, aiming at congressional
recess to begin by Friday night,
today tackled postwar reconyersion
and surplus property bills which
have been tied up by Senate-House
differences.
The leadership called up the two
points in the reconversion bill
which have caused the most trouble

federal employees and travel expens.

their original homes.
Influential House members fore
cast privs tely that both these Sen
ate-endorsed principles would be
rejected for a second time and sent
back to a conference committee OF
Senate and House members. They
added that the committee then will
probably bring the bin out devoid OF
these poitns and put them off until
after the election.
The House also plans to approve
this afternoon the measure creating
machinery TO dispose OF the antici-
pated S1O0,000,000,000 in surplus
war property.

that VIII Clayton, acting director

Chinese reverses, which have
forced Americans TO abandon at
least three Oriental airfields in re-
cent months. are generally at

sion OF command, lack OF integrated
communications and many other de-
fciencies," said Associated Press
Correspondent Clyde A. Farnsworth
in dispatch passed by the recently

"Chungking has issued orders

Farnsworth cited the loss Of an

Lack so Miles
The Japanese are only so miles

Hundreds OF Japanese saboteurs
were reported being rounded up

Rotary Speaker
Views France
In Postwar Era

France as a world power and the
French people as a nation should
be better understood and appreci-
ated by the American people, ac-
cording to Robert R. Schwcb, promi-
nent farmer and dairyman who
spoke at the El Centre Rotary club
meeting Thursday in the Barbara
Worth hotel.
Schwob, tormeris resident of
Switzerland and for the past several
years proprietor Of the Tamarack
ranch northwest of Imperial, de-
clared that with France re-entering
the realm of world affairs as one of
the mai jor powers in the postwar
plan proposed by the Dumbarton
Oaks conference, it is advisable that
this country better understand this
ally of the past two wars.
The French people Scilwob an
alyzed as energetic, hard working,
highly artistic and cultured. Be-
cause of the necessity TO be thrifty,
the French often are incorrectly ac-
cused OF stinginess, he said, and be-
cause Paris is the center of world
tourists, who cater to pleasures, the
French unjustly have been classed
as a pleasure-seeking people with
low morals. Actually, the French
are strongly family minded and of
highest standards, he said.
The fall Of the French people
before the German panzer attacks
resulted from poor preparation
against the new world war. said the
speaker, and did not reflect lack of
courage or fighting ability. Another
cause for the inability to stand up
against the Hitler forces, was the
fact that France, a leader in the
social evolutionary developments of
this period, was in the midst of
internal political changes which
tended to weaken its popular
strength.
Schwob was presented by Presi-
dent Wilson McEuen.
A cash fund was raised by the
Rotarians with which to defray cost
of purchasing Christmas decorations
for service men at Camp Mitchell.
