it found it had acted beyond statutory

full observance of all legal procedures,
or been found unsupported by sub

OURS is THE
DECISION
BY RUTH TAYLOR

AS we enter into the season of the
great American sport-national cleo
tionS-speeches fly fast and furious.
The Spellbinding orators of all parties
declaim loudly what America must and
must not do.
Before we praise or denOunce what
they SuggeSt-let us first search our
individuals are willing to do. In the
last analysis. it is up to us. No party
or person can put across policy for
America without the support of the
people of America.
DO we want narrow isolatiOnism
Do we want America to stay out of
world politics? If so, are we willing to
rearrange our economy to cover the
needs of this country? To keep Il Suf1i-
cient standing army and air force Il
ward off aggression from abroad? TIC
be ready to fight our own battles with
out any help? And to fight any new

DO we want the -Four Freedoms? II
so. are we willing to give to others tn,
things we want for ourselves? TO re-
! adjust our way. of living so that all
| sides have rights instead of privileges
TO do our share in helping the world
get back on its feet? Rehabilitation is
not merely helping people. 1t is better
than that 1t is helping people to hell
themselves.
DO we want to revert to the status
quo and let the troubles pile up ahead:
Shall we let old and new miSunder-
standings breed the seeds of future
wars? Must unsettled problems still
tester i'm the minds of men? DO We
want truce only-and war again in
another twenty years?
Do we on the other hand want (,

and prosperity in our children'S time

war? Are we willing to put the same
energies and self sacrifice into eStaD

Citrus Growers
Accused Of
Black Mart Aid

NEW YORK, May 4. tUPl-Unit-
ed States Attorney James B. M.
McNally accused California citrus
fruit growers of responsibility for
black market in oranges which
brought prices up to ST. dozen in
the New York area last summer.
McNally made the charge in the
course of the hearing of Peter Mar
tori'S Sons, Inc, and Stephen Mar
tori, the firms treasurer. for viola
ton of ceiling prices in the sale of
oranges. The defendants were fined
"a total of $4,000 by Federal Judge
William Bondy after pleading guilty
to a 12-count information charging
them with the sale last July of 6,9l9
cases of oranges in excess of OPA
ceiling prices.
McNally told the court that the
firm and Martori hao cooperated
in bringing Is similar prosecutions
in this district and 10 others in
California.

Grain Diseases
Strike Valley

Two diseases have attacked grain
in various areas of Imperial VAL
lev and unless checked will result
in heavy loss to growers and in
crease the feed shortage problem
Assistant Farm Advisor H. Lee Lam
derman said.
The diseases are barley stripe
disease (helmin fhosporium gram-
ineum) and covered smut. Both
diseases definitely were identified
by plant pathologists in valley sam
pies this week, Landerman said.
Barley stripe disease has appear
ed in at least six localities. In two
areas crops have been curtailed
seriously. The effect is to blight
the entire plant and completely
prevents heading or grain forma-
ton. The nature of the disease is
that of a fungus which is seed
borne The spores germinate with
the newly planted seed and grow
up through the tender stems as a
parasite which eventually Saps the
plant to death, experts point out.
Similar treatment is recommend
ed for both diseases. The seed must
be treated before planting by the
use of new improved ceresan, a
mercuric compound at the rate of
half an ounce per bushel, Lander
man declared. The best time for
such treatment is when seed is
recleaned.
Landerman said the current sea-
son has been most favorable for
spread of both diseases.
