/. Stirs Conflict
!. In 5. D. Council

A recently developed conflict III
the San Diego city council regard
ing the proposed loW-level survey
to Ell Centro and Imperial valley
was being watched closely by the
FL Centro chamber of commerce this
week
San Diego's Mayor Harley Knox
last week referred to the state high
way commissioners statement, that
they could not grant the city
request for a state survey OF the
proposed low-elevation highway
along tne international boundary
10 Ell Centro due to the lack OF
state engineers, as "phoney' and
he went on to say that San Diego
had "iust begun to fight to obtain
the survey as the first step IN the
new route.
A resolution filed by Fred Simp-
son. San Diego councilman, aSSur-
ed the state commission OF the CO.
operation of the council and that
the comments Of the mayor are
most regrettable.
Simpson further declared that
there had been considerable talk
/ of taking men from the San Diego
to Riverside route to survey the Ell
Centro route. He declared that
both roacs are necessary in that
city's plans.
Ben Herring, El Centro chamber
CT commerce secretary, who attend
ed the original meeting in Febru-

was proposed, said Tuesday morn
ing that the local interests are
watching the controversy as to Its
affect on the proposed route.
Naturally we are interested II

gret any conflict that might hole
up the surveys and work on this

BRINGING EUROPEAN
REFUGEES TO u. 5.

Announcement by President Roosevelt
that 1000 Italian refugees are TO be
brought to this country and established
in a camp of some sort prompts the query
as to what has happened to the quota tor
admittance of aliens? Apparently the
answer is "who wants to know and whose
business is it" We know of no action
taken by congress to change this phase
of the law safeguarding arrival OF unit
foreigners, nor has any war emergency
submerged the quota rule. Lacking any
official explanation, it looks Just like
another high-handed act of the executive
and complete ignoring Of the law.
But it will be remembered that through
some hook or crook, but not by congress
sional action, the administration found a
way to permit the red Earl Browder's
wife to remain in this country after her
stay limit had expired,
And it doesn't mean a thing that the
announcement mentioned that the retug-
ees are to be sent back home after the
war or at some date to be set by the exec
utive. If these refugees get here 1t Is
safe bet they will be forgotten and grad
ually find permanent Judgement. Much
as these poor war victims may have sui
fered and been made homeless because
of fascist rule there still is the immigra
ton barrier. Furthermore, 1t would be
measurably easier and more to the COM
fort of the refugees to house them in
their home areas and if necessary help
them.
No one hardly could deny our bounty
and generosity in these instances, but
someone has to be logical and use sense,
otherwise we may as we'll ditch our I'M
migration restraints and invite the hun
dreds of thousands of disrupted residents
of the war-torn European nations to come
on over. If the President, without auth
ority, can transport a thousand refugees
there is nothing to hinder him from multi
plying the order, expensive transporta
ton to the contrary.
This latest overriding of congressional
duties should spur congress to tighten
the immigration laws. Always there has
been an element in congress. enthusiased
by political fervOr, to break down our
immigration limitations and it IS up to
the other groups which have kept the
bars up to be on guard now.
There is wide criticism, too, on bring
ing prisoners of the axis to this country.
Many see no necessity for the cost of
transporting them across oceans when
there is plenty of room to confine them
where they are captured.
This nation has to keep on plugging
after the war and it will be no help if we
find our constitutional fences torn down
through fancied war emergencies.

by 489 persons in his district ask
ing him Ito take the necessary
action to prevent the return of
japanese and people of Japanese
ancestry who We're removed from
California after Pearl Harbor.
Phillips said he brought the peti-
tion to The attention Of the house
because this is a problem which
should have the very serious con-
sideration Of the people in the east
who do not understand the prob
lens which California faces" The
petition, le said, protests the

Representative John E. Rankin

Japanese are returned the fair

The petition said that since
Pearl Harbor IAN intense hatred

Both Anlericau and foreign born, -
and that it reached its intensity
when we received reports Of the

LEGiSLATED COMFORT

Riverside Daily PreSs)
Any thinking, feeling man knows that
a coat and tie in the heat of summer is
uncomfortable nonsense. He quickly
sheds both in the privacy of his home or
in the accepted pursuit of leisure activ-
tiles. But convention DEGREES that for bus
mess he must bind his neck with piece
OF starched linen, further encircle it with
a stifling piece Of knotted colored goods,
and protect his steaming torso from
healthful sun and cooling breeze with an
enveloping garment.
The wiser and more successful a man
IS, it seems, the more he respects con-
vention. Comfort and good sense count
as nothing against it. But even more
than convention he respects wise and
beneficial law.
That is why the bill introduced in the
Louisiana state legislature, to prohibit
the wearing Of coats and ties from June
10 October Except for weddings and
church, is not as Wacky as it sounds.

CHARGES OF BUREAUS OVERT
ACTS DEMAND FULL PROBE

On the floor Of the Lower House of
Congress charges were made this week,
and it was not not the first time, that
various priorities and draft deferments
frequently have been denied farmers
who had refused to participate in the
Agricultural Adjustment Administration
programs. The charge was made by
member from a farm state. 1t went on
record as the house voted 219 to 123 to
retain an amendment in an agricultural
appropriation measure to ban political
or lobbying activities of department
employees.
The accusation and the heavy vote
coming together call for further atten-
ton to the whole matter. Such charges
should not be made lightly The accuser
is not given to Mysteries nor does he need
to rant around for votes. He is strong
with his people in his district Said he:
IF we are going to support clean politics
we must restrict the influence Of people
who have vested interest in bureau

he accused employees of using disgrace
ful tactics to maintain their jobs in
bureaus. There is no use trying to get
away from the fact that the great flock
of bureaus built up by this administra-
tion are dictatorial and ruthless in their
conduct and that they have supplanted
and still do Supplant the law as we'll as
flaunt the statutes in their rulings and
directives But when a congressman
charges that the Strong-arm methods run
as far as he set out regarding the AAA

LABOR GAINS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES

christian Science MOnltOr)
Is the Roosevelt administration, having
helped American unions to build the
largest labor movement in the world, now
urging them to further recognize their
responsibilities? Such a turn in the rela-
tions between government and labor
might be read in the messages from high
officials to the Boston convention of the
International Ladies Garment Workers
Union.
First President Roosevelt and then At
torney General Francis Biddle recon-
mended that unions should make avail

activities or finances. Then the Attorney

ganized labor to clean up racketeering
as a discredt to the entire labor move
ment.
The Assistant Secretary of State
among several admonitions on RESPONSE
bility, said:
Organized labor is now so great a part
of American industrial life that it can
no longer represent merely a labor in
terest In fact, labor interest can only
be in a healthy condition when all other
interests, public and private, are on a
sound basis.
Organized labor has outgrown its old
methods without realizing it. Too often
its policies continue too strongly CEN
tered on immediate and shortsighted
gains for labor without sufficient sense
of public need.
The Influence of the Roosevelt Admin
istration on the thinking of labor has
been tremendous. The Government in
troduced social insurance when the phil
osOphy of labor was against it, and pro-
noted industrial uniOnism and the rise
of the Congress of Industrial Organiza-

labor unions to their present unexampled
