Nation Sounds Call
For Swift Revenqe
Destroy Tokyo
Becomes New


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.
(UP)-A senate committee
chairman promised Satur-
day to dig out still unpub-
lished facts about japanese
prison camp atrocities which
already have reused the ma
ton to concentrated fury and
given it a blazing new battle
cry-"vengeance!"
This promise, underscoring White
House hint that the full story has
yet to be told, came as the convic-
tion grew among congressional and
military leaders that only the de-
struction of Tokyo and the un-
leashing of wars horrors upon the
Japanese people at home can
quench this country's thirst for
revenge.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 20.
(UP)-The state senate cleo
tions committee Saturday
recommended upper house
passage of a servicemen's voting
measure sponsored by Gov. EaN
Warren after rejecting proposal
that the May presidential and
August state primary elections be
combined.
The action, setting the bill for
possible final action in the senate
Sunday, came as the upper house
opened debate on the governors
prison reform program.
SEEK CHANGES
The soldier vote bill, extending
from 26 to 56 days the period dur
ing which absentee ballots may be
cast, came out of the senate COM
mittee with only minor amend
ment although the assembly elec-
tions committee was attempting to
draft changes for similar measure
to meet objections of M. j. Dom
aghue, Los Angeles county regis

Donaghue, who favors Secretary
of State Frank M. Jordan's plan
for consolidation of the primary
elections, complained that the alb

The disclosure that United States
units had pressed within light ar
tillery reach of the Appian Way
in the area of Cisternia, 13 miles
inland from Nettuno, made it evi-
dent that the vital highway link
ing the two fronts had been i'm
modified for practical purposes.
The new American gains also
nullified the effectiveness of huge
new airport which Benito Musso-
lini built at CiSternia about 1897
in the Heyday of his Fascist re-
gime.
British units of the Fifth army
either had by-passed or captured
Carroceto, narrowing the gap be-
tween them and Rome to less than
a score of miles, in their thrust
which overran the bridge three
miles above that town.
Although German resistance on
the rim of the beachhead was
mounting, it still showed no sign
of a full dress counterblow that
would imperil the allied positions.

Highway Patrol
Station Fire
Causes Damage

A short -circuited table radio Was
believed to be the cause OF a fire
which resulted in damages estl-
mated at $4,000 at the California
Highway Patrol on Main and In
perial Friday night.
The fire was discovered by pa
irons of a nearby drive-in cafe.
The El Centro fire department
was able to confine the blaze to
the squad room although consider
able damage came from smoke.
The building is of fire proof con-
struction and for this reason DAM
age was prevented to the patrols
offices which are closed at night
and operate out of the county sher-
ifs offices, firemen pointed out.
Several chairs, desks and other
equipment in the room, which was
gutted by flames, were a total loss.
A false alarm turned in by a
school youth which resulted in the
remaining equipment making a
useless run while two units were
fighting the patrol blaze, drew the
ire of the department.
The false alarm was turned in at
lO:O2 pm. This necessitated equip
ment being called from the east
side station and the remaining
equipment at the State street sta
ton.
"If a fire actually had occurred
at that moment the city may have
suffered a serious loss" Chief Corn
Reed declared. There have been
altogether too many false alarms
turned in by smart-alec kids and
the only way we can combat this
serious situation is for the citizens
to cooperate. II you see an alarm
pulled at any of the boxes and II
is found to be false, please report
the auto license or describe the
culprits to the department"
1.-The fact that we have too many
citizens chasing fires is rapidly
nearing the point where the fire
department itself is going to take
action and issue a flock of tickets,
Reed continued. Friday night We
would have had trouble getting
away from the false alarm very
fast ! - :,Se of these spectators
