WASHINGTON, May 10. tUP)-
The sue den and unexpected deci-
sion of Rep. Martin Dies Cd Tex,
to retire from congress when his
present term expires leaves in doubt
the future of the special committee
investigating un-American activities
over which he has presided since
May, 1888.
Dies announced in Texas. after
seeing a throat specialist, that an
ailment of serious nature forced him
to make the decision. He visited
the specialist after he lost his voice
during a speaking tour. -..s
There is no doubt that the un-
American activities investigation
will continue through the present
congress in the same tenor that
has characterized it since it began
But beyond that, there is real
question as to whether it will be
renewed by the new congress next
year. ..
The doubt arises from two dis
tinct situations.
First, Dies not only set the pace
of the committee, but each time
the question Of its continuation

PHILLIPS SURPLUS FOOD
BILL SHOULD BE PASSED

Few members of Congress are as we'll
informed on food production and agrl-
culture in general as Representative Phil
lips of the 22nd district and his bill pre-
sented some time ago on handling the
wasting food surplus should have i'm
mediate passage. He introduced the
measure after long and careful study as
a member of the committee on agrlcul-
ture In addition he is member of the
Republican Congressional Food Study
committee, a group organized to go into
the facts of the situation and to evolve
a speedy and satisfactory solution.
In the meantime his bill is in the hands
of the agriculture committee and the
dillv-daly methods of the majority as
we'll as ineXcusable delays by govern
ment agencies in providing data which
the committee wants (why, no one knows)
are holding it up while surplus foods
are heaped up and spelling, or at least
not reaching people who actually need
them.
The huge surpluses of such items as
butter. eggs dried edible beans and many
other vegetables, much of which ALREADY
are spoiled beyond any use and more 10
follow. render it extremely necessary
that action be taken and the Philips Dill
offers a we'll rounded solution.
In his bill known as H K. 42io, MI
Phillips proposes to create commission,
NOT of inexperienced public job-seekers
and political hangers-on, but made up OF
representatives of producers professors
distributors and consumers-all vitaiiy
interested in moving this food surplus
cut and seeing that it reaches the con-
Sumer.
Representative Martin. minority house
leader and Representative Thomas A.
Jenkins. chairman of the Republican
Food Study unit are insisting, along with
Phillips that the measure be reported
and. all hope for early consideration
and adoption. n,-,,;.,

bill or as good or better plan by the
majority.

ANOTHER TYRANNICAl
ORDER ISSUED

(Santa Monica OutloOk)
The legal pundits who write rules for
the OPA and its employees have recently
issued the most arbitrary and un-Amerl-
can order to OPA employees which has
as vet come to public notice. This order
relates to lawsuits in which the OPA
may be involved as a party.
Every employe is ordered to respond
to any court summons or subpoena tnat
may be served and to appear in court IN
accordance with it. That is proper and
legal. But it continues by ordering the
emplove so summoned not to testify or to
answer any question except and unless
thev have the consent of the Washington
office to do so, and they are to answer
all questions by saying that they nave
not the permission of the Washington
office to testify.
In other words, the Washington bu-
reaucrats order their employees through
out the country to commit open and flag
rant contempt OF court.
The courts have a proper answer for
this high-handed attempt to cover up
the shortcomings of the OPA. We hope
a test case may come soon before Judge
who will have the fortitude and courage
TO assert the constitutional rights of the
judiciary A recalcitrant witness under
this order should be fined and commit
ted to Jail and if the man or men in
Washington who issued the order appear
to protest they also should receive a
maximum punishment for contempt OF
court.

LET'S HAVE 100 PER CENT
VOTE IN IMPERIAL COUNTY

Among the greatest privileges of this
democracy of ours is the right to vote in
free elections We still have that right.
We should exercise it. Voting is mark
Of good citizenship.
Tuesday, California voters are to
choose candidates for the House and the
Senate Equally as important will be the
selection of men or women to seek places
in legislature These offices. perhaps.
come closest to the people. There could
be no more important duty for the citizen
~ than to select those who will repre-
sent the state and nation in the lawmak-
ing bodies.
Even with a 100 per cent vote Tues
day. there will not be full representa-
ton of the peoples choice because the
registration is light. 1t therefor is all
the more important for every one so
qualified to vote. In addition to nomi-
mating the various candidates, there are
state amendments Of vital import to be
decided upon.
In Imperial County 11,5l6 persons are
qualified to receive and cast ballots. If
every one of these votes, it would be a
scant majority of all who could vote
were they registered.
Make it your ONE project Tuesday to
ro TO the polls.

WASHINGTON - The pref
ty young WAVE may not look
very glamorous in her oxygen
mask with its Cyrano de Ber-
Rerac nose, but nobody laughs.
A dozen Navy air cadets stare at
her solemnly from their seats
along the side of metal coop
that looks like huge diving
bell festooned with pipes and
hoses.
I'VE are now at $4,000 feet
simulated altitude, says t h e
WAVE. AT first you should
feel no particular discomfort.
However, after few minutes
you may notice some changes
Are you beginning to
feel a little dull and Woody?
How is your vision? Do you
feel exhilarated? Irritable? De-
pressed?
Her rubber mask frames a re-
assuring smile. The cadets duti-
fully write down their feelings
and emotions. There are other
tests. Then another WAVE out
side the low pressure chamber
turns some valves, and the oc-
cupants ascend to 10000 feet
ut the rate OF 1000 feet a min
ute.
This is scene that is be
coming routine in nine Navy and
Marine bases from Quantico to
San Diego, as the WAVES take
up one of their newest and most
important tasks training the
Nays budding combat flyers
for high altitude operations and
the use of oxygen equipment.
WOMEN AFFECTED LESS
The girls must be able to de-
tect the first sign Of anoxia Cane
mia due to insufficient OXYGEN
and to know when the symp-
toms pass from those of a
cheap jag" to something more
serious. They have TO know the
remedies for bends and cramps
and plugged ears, and how to
apply those remedies quickly.
To learn this, of course, the
girls had to 60 through a course
themselves. First of all, Navy
doctors did considerable re-
search to be sure that high al
titude has no bad physiological
effects on women. In fact, it de-
veloped that women generally
can fly at higher attitudes than
men, can stay there longer. and
experience less severe symp-
toms.
And In case you have been
wasting any sympathy on bare
legged girls in zero weather,
you can cease Immediately. For
the Navy tests also prove that,
where low pressure tests are
combined with 30-below tenn
perature, the women stand the
cold much better than their
husky brothers.
About the first thing the
girls learned, in training for
high altitude instruction. was
that they couldn't wear lipstick
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1944-01-20

and nail polish. The first symp-
toms of anoxia are blue lips and
nails, and cosmetics and polish
hid the I: mptoms.
They also learned that it's
pretty hard to call spade
spade after few minutes at
$4,000 feet. Identification OF
PLAYING cards is one of the tests
conducted at this altitude. First
of all, they tried TO repeat an
easy test that they had done at
sea level - holding box with
three slots and sorting pictures
of one, two, and four-motored
planes into the appropriate slots.
They found that, after a few
minutes without oxygen at 49,
600 feet, they mixed up the
motors and fumbled the cards.
PUT ON THEIR METTLE
At 10000 feet, the girls had
to remove their masks and try
to write Mary Had Little
Lamb" or something equally
familiar. In minute and a
half their writing became large
and coarse; in two minutes it
was almost illegible; and 80 to
go seconds later, they would
have lost consciousness if their
supply of oxygen had not been
restored.
Capt. J. c. Adams, chief of
the Aviation Medicine division
of the Nays Bureau of Medi-
cine and Surgery, is enthusiast
tic about the WAVES and the
job they are doing. So Is 1t.
Comdr. Earle Metcalfe, medical
advisor for the training program.
THE WAVES have an excel
lent psychological effect on these
young lyers," Commander Met
calfe explains. "A lot of young
sters have been afraid they'll
wash out on these tests. They
considered I he low pressure
chamber SORT of Frankenstein
chamber of horrors. And when
they knew the test was being
given by man with plenty of
experience, that upset them all
the more.
But now when they see
smiling girl waiting to give
them the tests, it puts them on
their mettle. They want to
prove that they can stand any
thing that girl can, and more"
