Good Evening.

NOT A SPRING SONG
The sun is shining brightly,
The grass isn't very green;
A bluejay cackles raucous notes
Right outside the screen.
The wind blows all night long,
It clears the fog away;
The outlook isn't very brilliant
But quite desolate and grey
The sun is shining brightly,
The mercury soaring high,
Marry doats, and chocolate floatsl
Springs coming by and bye!

the work might be rushed
through to a full-dress United
Nations conference this fall, the
opinion in informed quarters
here still is that it will be the
end of the year or the first part
OF l945 before such meeting
can be arranged.
While the conversations were
pushed forward at Dumbarton
Oaks, Secretary of State Hull
arranged to receive John Foster
Dulles, Gov. Thomas f. Dewey S
foreign policy advisor, again
late this afternoon 10 dclve
further into the possibilities of
bipartisan cooperation on world
security.
After their first meeting yes
terday, Dulles told newsmen
that in the more than two and
a half hours they were together.
they made very considerable
progress in exploring the posi-
bilities of bipartisan coopera-
ton" One of the things they
talked about, Dulles said, was
the question of the policy of
secrecy which cloaks all con-
ference discussions. He said he
was inclined to think more in
formation could be given out but
he declared that Secretary Hull
as host is responsible for the
conferences public relations
policy and obviously he has the
final decision"
The secrecy policy resulted in
some protest being made by
various reporters assigned to the
meeting. The three principals,
Cadoan; the American repre-
sentative, Edward r. Stettinius,
Jr., and the Russian spokesman,
Ambassador Andrei Gromyko,
agreed to meet with a committee
of the state department CORE
spondents association at 10 am.
(EWT) today to hear suggestions
for getting more news out of
the conference.
Although there was no official
report of progress, it was known
that the delegates worked into
their fourth day of combing over
their three separate plans for
points of agreement, setting
aside for the time being issues
on which they find themselves
in disagreement. 1t was under
stood, that the areas of agree
ment were fairly large and the
hope was that the work would
proceed rapidly.

Prospect that the European

voters choose their next Apresi-

lift in the spirits of Gov. Thorn
as E. Dewey's supporters today
although Democrats generally
were inclined to discount the, eff
feet on the November z election.
The Republican presidential
nominee was silent about the
political reaction that might
come with the defeat of Ger
many, but some of his friends
expressed the belief the New
York governors chances would
be enhanced by developments
that might offset the Democratic
plea for retention of President
Roosevelt as commander in
chief.

,Romanian Defect Adds Point
to Demand for Peace Terms

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-CR)
Evidence from Romania that
Hitler's Europe is beginning to
collapse on political as well as
military fronts gave new empha-
sis today to British insistence at
the Dumbarton Oaks confer
ences for early decisions on
postwar world security organiza-
ton.
Sir Alexander Cadogan, chief
of the British delegation, has
taken the lead in urging that
at least a part Of the security
organization should be set up
soon to span the gap between the
end of the European war -
which he says may come sooner
than expected-and the formal
creation of a new International
League to preserve peace.
The British view, 1t was
learned, is in line with the feel
ing in some quarters of the
American delegation that the
British Russian-American Chi
nese pledge made at Moscow to
cooperate in the enforcement OF
peace after the war should now
be given some specific and Or
ganized form.
This has raised speculation IN
diplomatic circles here that the
spadework of the Dumbarton
Oaks talks might be followed
relatively quickly by meeting
of President Roosevelt, Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier
Stain to confirm and set in &C
ton three-power cooperation in
the European area in the i'm
mediate postwar period.
The present plan is to delay
forming a permanent peace
agency until all smaller nations
have had opportunity to make
suggestions and offer criticisms
of the proposals to be evolved
here.

Swine Raisers
Await Meetinq

Swine growers of Imperial county
are displaying keen interest in a
meeting Monday at p. m. at the
c. E. Pitcher ranch three miles
east of FL Centre. At that time DR..
E. H. Hughes, head of the swine de-
partment of the Agricultural col
lege at Davis, Yolo county, will
consult with growers as to best
breeds and methods available to re-
vive hog raising in the county. He
has completed tour of the chief
hog-raiSing areas of the country
and will give the growers the bene-
fit of the information he has gath
cred. Ward Shepard. extension spe-
cialist in the fat livestock section
of the college, will accompany DR..
Hughes.
1t is pointed out that at one time
there were more than 100 active
swine raisers in the county. Be-
cause of feed conditions and mar
kets this number has dwindled to
less than a score, and the meeting
Monday is in the nature of a spur
to put the county back to its former
high rating in this phase of farm
industry.
Pitcher devotes his ranch to
breeding and raising pigs for feeder
markets.
