The men were flown to Italy after
Romania capitulated to the Allies.
Their diet consisted largely of cab
bage and cucumbers.
Il complained to King Michael

of Tucson, Arizona, said. He visited
the camp and I told him how ba6
the food was, and also how close
our camp was to military targets.
We were bombed by Allied planes

King Michael, Beane said, con-
fided to him that while he would
try to do something about it, he
couldn't promise anything because
everything he suggested to his Nazi-
dominated ministers was acted upon
in reverse.
All the fliers told thrilling stories
of narrow escapes from death. Sev-
eral eaid they bailed out of burning
planes at attitudes as low as 100

Pilots Try Out
Jet Propelled
Planes in State

FRESNO, Cal. Sept. 30. up
TANNER Field officials, in an an
nouncement authorized by the war
department. have disclosed that the
San Joaquin Valley is the only area
in the United States in which pilots
are trained in flying jet-propelled
and Pol Black Widow night fight
erS.
The training is conducted by the
319th wing of the Fourth Air Force,
commanded by Colonel Ralph H.
Snavely. with headquarters at Ham
mer Field and cub-bases at Salinas
and Palmdale. Cal.
One P59A, the nations first Jet
propelled plane, recently was DEM
onstrated at Hammer Field, 1t was
announced, but no information ON
its performance was released.
Jet-propelled planes, known to
have high speed and ceiling. were
developed by the Italians in 1882
Planes of this type have been useo
in combat by the Germans, but Al
lied pilots who have seen them ir
action reported that the German
type plane had little maneuvera
bility.
The principal outward difference
of a jet-propelled plane is the lacl
of propellors and the presence o
forward twin intake vents.

or the representatives OF the ALL
and CIO unions which now face pay
cuts and want pay raises.
Either way. there is bound to be
some further delay in getting a de-
cision.
To consider this delay as mere
stall on the part of the poor old
War Labor Board would be unfair
though this charge may be made by
the labor leaders who have tried
10 hold their unions IN line while
the overWclked WLB tried to make
up its mind.
The boara has been fighting an
almost hopeless rearguard action all
through the war, trying to hold Off
the inflationary forces which are
opposed TO wage stabili5ation. How
much longer the board can continue
this delaying action now becomes
the big question.
If the decision can be postponed
until after the election, it will be
~ good trick, Tor that will keep the
Issue where it belongs, which is out
of politics. But almost inescapably
it will be dragged into politics.
In the first place, the Republican
platform condemns the freezing OF
wage rates at arbitrary levels. Sec
ond. there have been some indica-
tions that AFI and CIO leaders
have brought pressure TO bear on
the President to have him step into
thir situation. 60 over the heads OF
the War Labor Beard and outline a
new wage policy.
The responsibility OF the War La
Dor Board is TO report its recon-
mendations to the President, but
there is nothing to prevent the
President from moving III ilrst
grabbing the ball and trying to ruf
with it.
ANYTHING the President does ol
doesn't do about this situation, he Is
bound to catch criticism, II the Lit
tie Steel formula isn't broken be-
fore the election, restless labor may
be critical. On the other hand, Il
wage increases or granted in any
form whatever, the cry will bt
raised by the Republicans that thu
labor vote is being bought at tht
politically psychological moment by
the grant of an increase in bast
rates of pay.
The closer this decision comes tt
election day, the greater will be 1T
! colitical dynamite.

In Death of

OAKLAND, Cal, Sept. 80. tUP)
An inquest to determine the exact
cause of death apparently from
heart failure Of Sister Aimee SEM

Coroner Mark l.. Emerson announc-
ed.
The body of the famous Fvangel-
ist was shipped to Los Angeles fol-
lowing an autopsy. Emerson said a
complete laboratory examination OF
the contents of Mrs. McPherson'S
stomach would be mace prior to
the inquest.
Autopsy surgeons said that unless
the examination disclosed presence
of an overdose of sedativeS it prob
ably could be assumed that the
54-year-old Evangelist'S poor physi-
cal condition anc heart failure were
the causes of death. A half-empty
bottle of sleeping pills that Mrs.
McPherson's attorney. Joseph F'ain-
er, Los Angeles, said the Evangelist
took to counteract discomfort from
recent laryngitis attack, was found
beside her bed at the bennington
hotel where she died "Wednesday.
Inspector Henry Palazy of the
state board of pharmacy said the
board was IHaking a check to de-
termine where the pills had been
purchased.
Palazy emphasized that the "hyp-
motto se6ative" in the pills could
not be legally purchased in Califor-
mia without physicians prescrip-
ton.
Meanwhile, Fainer announced
that personal property included in
the f'Vangelist's estate was valued
at approximately $4,000.

President Roosevelt denounced Ar

American republics by spreading
the word that the Allies are divided

SOMETHING DECIDEDLY
IS WRONG HERE

Out OF clear sky comes an announce
ment that the price of coffee must be
boosted and that 1t is likely if will be put
on the rationing list again before the first
Of the year. The Office of Price Admin
lstration, one of the several Federal bu-
reaus messing around in the administra-
tion's food control set-up makes the an
nouncement.
In making the announcement the OPA
admits 1t Is on the spot. Suddenly that
bureau discovers that the visible supply
can not last four. months and if condi-
tlons do not improve, rationing will fol
low.
The present price of coffee is not out
OF reason, although twenty per cent high
er than in pre-war times. The cruX of
the matter is not high or low prices. The
greatest coffee-using nation in the world
has no objection to paying more while
transportation is a problem. But that
problem largely was lightened with the
end of U-boat depredations on this side
the Atlantic.
1t would be easy to understand how the
food control agencies are in a snarl if
coffee was a product of this country The
situation affecting coffee could be meas
ured against the method the agencies and
the government uses in handling sugar.
That has been simple. Arbitrary redue-
tion of beet sugar acreages year after
year, favoritism to the ff-shore growers
and brokers' Cuba especially created
and keeps in force drastic shortages of
this product. But the bureaus can't chop
down coffee trees.
All reports indicate tremendous crops
in Brazil, the worlds greatest coffee
producing nation, as we'll as in the Cen
tral American countries.
1t may be the trouble lies in the fact
that the state department is doing the
job the secretary of the department of
commerce should handle. With all our
good neighbor policy, it appears impos-
sible to get the waiting coffee in transit.
1t is quite evident some more bureau
bungling is about to have its pay-off in
the inconvenience to the suffering public.
How long will the public pay the toll?

Mr.. DEWEYS NEW DEAL
CChristian Science Monitor)

At San Francisco Governor Dewey
made his boldest strategic move of this
campaign He carried somewhat star
tied Republican elephant on an airborne
sortie to seize key New Deal position.
Democratic liberals must now turn to
own theological lines.
In the city where twelve years ago an
other New York governor laid out pro
gram which later came to BE regarded
as the most complete statement of the
New Deal. Mr.. Dewey outlined principles
of domestic policy in several respects
more advanced. In so doing he has vastly
complicated the task of Democratic cam
paigners who, like Vice-President Wal
lace. speaking in New York on the same
night seek to present the 1914 Republican
candidate as combination of Warren
Harding and Herbert Hoover.
There is, however, a deep difference
in Governor Deweys' open-eyed accept
anoe of the political fact that in dealing
with economic distress 1.-The savage old
cut-throat adjustments are gone for
good He frankly recognized that the
American people are "committed to some
degree of Government intervention in
the free working of our economic sys-
tenn At three points he took over New
Deal territory:
l. Federal action to control money and
credit at least to the degree necessary
to stabilize interest rates and ito keep
down taxes and prevent the price of
government bonds falling
=. Government action to promote en-
ployment and if necessary to create it.
8. Support of farm prices.
But Mr. Dewey did not forget (as the
New Deal has very often appeared to
forpet) that I'm all this there, exists an
obvious danger to our fundamental free
doms'-that in accepting the, support
of government in certain broad aspects
Of our economy we may slip by stages into
complete government control of our
lives And his emphasis was on govern
ment widening rather than restricting
the field of individual opportunity with
the main reliance for employment placed
consciously on private enterprise pper-
ating in favorable economic climate
Now the old-time liberal will find much
that is disquieting in this program For
with all the emphasis on freedom it is
definitely a departure from individual
ISM it does throw Adam Smith out the
window; it certainly holds unresolved
contradictions in the promises to keep
down interest rates and taxes and keep
up wages and farm prices at federal ex-
penSe.
And a sober warning should be sound
ed about Mr.. Dewey's assumption that the
war showed that "all that was necessary
to solve the unemployment problem was
to give American technical and manage
ment skill'' green light. The war econ
omy has been federally managed and
deficit-financed economy beyond the
widest dreams Of the pump primers
nearly 100000 100000 this year
The problem is still to find the way
to get full production and full employ
ment under private management and
sound financing. Mr. Dewey's strongest
argument with many is that he promises
more competent, more unifying, and less
hostile federal government which in
seeking to reconcile security and free
dom believes it can be done and places
the emphasis on freedom.

THANKS, TO ALL YOU
SOFTBAlL PLAYERS

For an enjoyable bit of recreation
throughout an otherwise dull summer as
far as outdoor sports go. Imperial Val
leyites owe vote of thanks to the more
than 100 men who went into action to
carry out an eighteen-week softball sea-
son. Five nights a week. all who cared
could spend pleasant hour or more, and
thousands did Just that.
Of the ten teams participating in the
games, practically half were made up of
civilians, the rest stemmed from the mill
tary bases in the valley 1t isn't easy to
perform a full days hard work, either at
civilian tasks or in military training and
then play a game of ball. Many of the
players were recruited from offices. They
risked sore muscles in the intensive eXer-
else on ball lot. Others worked full
hours at tiresome tasks. The men from
the military bases had plenty to do be-
fore donning playing togs. But it was
fun for them, and by the same token, it
helped while away many an hour for the
youngsters and grownups who remained
in the valley through the summer.
Our hats off to all you chaps who did
this fine job.
