NEW YORK, Dec. II. tUP)-A
fairly severe earthquake. probably
centered in the Aleutian islands, was
recorded early Tuesday on seismo-
graphic instruments at Fordham
university.
Father Joseph Lynch, seiSmologlst'
reported there were two shocks, one
at 1928 a. m. (EWT) and the sec
ond at 12:37 a. m. They were at a
distance of 4500 miles.
WESTON, Mass. Dec. II. tUP)-
A fairly strong" earthquake lasting
three hours was recorded at the
Weston college seismograph station
Tuesday and the Rev. Daniel Line

been in the vicinity of South Amer
ica.
The first shock was reported at
12.28:O7 a. m. tEWID. he said. ana
lasted three hours with series OF
less intense shocks.
Father Linehan placed the dis
tance at about 5l05 miles from BoS-
ton and said that the quake couid
either have been in the Aleutlan Is
lands or South America, but thaV
the latter point was his guess.

Study Of New
Penal Quarters

SACRAMENTO, Dec. II. (UP)-
The 1945 legislature will be asked
to decide whether the state institu-
ton for women will be continued at
it's present location IA miles from
Tehachapi or whether a new one
will be built in a more accessible
place, Richard A. MCGEE, director
CT corrections, said Monday.
MCGEE said the institution has
been underStaffed by an average OF
20 per cent since it was established
in 1882. He added that recently
women won't even take the civil
service examination for jobs there. "
The institutions board of trustees
has recommended moving the insti-
tuition in a resolution similar to che
adopted at a meeting of the state
board of California Federation OF
Womens Clubs adopted last week,
McGee said.
MCGEE, a guest speaker at the
board meeting, told the women the
state had invested $60c 1000 in the
institution and that 100000 would
be required to replace work shops
which he described as rabbit
hutches.' The priron. with capac-
ity of 144 women, is handling 1856 at
present. MCGEE said.
A new institution would involve
an expenditure CT about $80O,0O0
MCGEE estimated. He added that
there is a possibility the Tehachapi
buildings could be sold to the federal
government for a veterans hospital.

GUARANTEE OF RIGHTS
STANDS TEST OF TIME

One hundred fifty three years ago
this December 10, the pledge of the ma
tion's fort congress became a fact. On
December Is. 1898 the Bill of Rights was
added to the Constitution.
When Congress convened in 1889, the
Constitution having been adopted, an
swered the plea of the individual states
for more definite guarantee of thdr
rights, it was with the pledge that it
would submit amendments. And that
Congress kept that pledge. Sufficient
states had ratified the amendments so
that they were proclaimed effective at
the date mentioned. Two other of the
original number submitted never were
ratified so that the Bill of Rights as
now in the Constitution actually are
numbers three to twelve, but are set out
as Articles one to ten, inclusive.
Strangely enough, three states COM
pleted ratification of the amendments in
Massachusetts, Georgia and Con-
necticut.
Nowhere in any nation at any time,
has there been written so clear and bind
ing declaration of the rights of citizen
under any kind of government as is
found in the comparatively handful of
words embracing these ten articles.
Here is found the basis of any free
peope-the guarantee of the freedom
of speech, press and religion. Call it
common sense, vision or what you will,
the trainers of the Bill of Rights wrote
that which never can perish as long as
a free people will it.
Here is the foundation and the bull
wark of liberty
Here is the real guarantee that

HERE'S SOMETHING THAT
IS EVERYBODY'S CONCERN

Shall Ell Centre and the Valley be
mere sky-gazers, watching commercial
planes pass by. or shall we become the
all-important air center our geographi-
cal location offers?
In a straight-out call to action, the
aviation committee of the Ell Centric
Chamber of Commerce, has started the
move and from there on it is up to the
Valley.
Is it a dream that El Centre, as we'll
as all the other localities in the Valley,
can be an essential part of the world
wide commercial program that will
come into being almost Immediately aft
er the war ends?
An answer to that question is found
in the veriest kind of a survey of what
we have in this inland empire that the
rest of the world wants and has to have
and is getting now? Is there any reason
why a shipment of any of our products
should not be in London in a few hours
rather than a few weeks? None at all.
Today, military planes are making sew
enteen crossings of the Atlantic daily.
The lowest estimate is that these cross
ings can be increased to "a daily the
next day after victory by huge cargo
carrying planes now in service.
When the world-covering air service
is set up after the war, just as many
cities and communities will be a part of
the vast program as are up on their
toes and ready to go themselves.
Be a committee ever so active and
aggressive. it must have wholehearted,
virile and complete help of each and
every citizen.
Preparations for this mighty program
will not take a single ounce of strength
away from the war effort. On the con-
trary, united community, looking out
for its own good and future progress
and prosperity, is a community that will
be all the stronger in any call made upon
it for the war.
Shall we ely on the ground" or shall
we "be in the air with the rest of the
world?"

! Congress Plays
With Plan TO
Hike Salaries

WASHINGTON, Dec. -. CUP)-
Congress is faced with a legislative
stickler in a bill that almost all
members favor but decline to push
too vigorously right new for fear
their constituents won't understand.
1t has to do with the always
ticklish question of raising congress
sional salaries.
Representative Emanuel Celler,
CD, New York, threw new atten-
ticn on the issue last week by intro
ducing bill to increase members
pay from $4,000 to Sl2,500 a year.
He noted that members haven't had
a pay increase since 1923, when it
was hiked from $500, and lin these
20 years much water has gone over
the dam"
WANT TO-BUT AFRAID
Most members agree with Celler
and would jump at the proposal if
they weren't afraid of the reaction
back home. They haven't forgotten
the bundles for Congress" cam
paign of few years back.
Representative G. Jasper Bell,
Cd, Missouri, told the House there
is not man in this room who is
making, net, more than $4,000 q
year" And Representative Everett
NJ Dirksen, RD, Illinois, said there
were millions of men carrying dim
ner buckets who arc infinitely better
off than members of Congress"
One member, picked by reporters
as an average" congressman, said
in an interview that being in Con-
gress keeps him little bit in debt. "
Asked why, if it were so expensive,
members constantly seek reelection,
he replied:
Its lot like man who goes out
OH a drunk. He knows he's going TO
have a hangC YER, but he forgets
about that WEile he's enjoying the
party"
WHAT 1T COSTS
This average" member, married
and with one child, listed hic month
~ expenses thus:
Withholding tax, Sl67; house rent
in capital, $225; groceries, $125; util-
tiles, S45; domestic help, $50; auto
mobile, $40; personal telephone and
telegraph, $40 campaign expenses
prorated, $40; travel deficit after
congressional mileage allotment pre-
rated, $40; additional income tax
prolated, 500, and incidentals in
Guiding entertainment of visiting
constituents, takes. meals away
from home and family medical and
dental care, $500.
This is total of $ll22 TO come out
of 1888 check.
This congressman predicted that
pay increase would come eventu-
ally, but only when the people be-
gin TO realize that the average
neighbor they would like to have
for their representative just can't
afford the job-only the independ-
emily wealthy can afford it."

CHiNA'S LOW-GEARED
INDUSTRY

pasadena Star-NeWs)
Six industrial experts who went to
China with Donald NJ. Nelson to help
him in his new job of organizing Chinese
industry on more efficient basis, re-
ported, after an initial survey, that Chi
nese steel plants are working only one
shift six days a week.
In Cathay they traditionally think in
cycles of years, but in modern war the
issue may not wait Tor completion Of a
cycle.
If Mr.. Nelson can gear Chinese indus
try to the urgency of the times, he will
have done as great service as he per-
formed as United States War Production

SARREGUEMINES. France, Dec.
-. tUP) - A thousand grinning
Young Allied soldiers captured by
the Germans in eastern Europe
we're liberated Monday when for
ward elements of the 35th division
overran their prison camp at the
outskirts of Sarreguemines.
The group included Russian, Pol
ish, Serbian, YugoSlave and Italian
soldiers. Among them was a Polish
lieutenant who had been held in
various prison camps since the day
the Germans entered Warsaw more
than five years ago.
HEAR YANKS COMING
For three days the prisoners had
listened intently as the sounds OF
battle came closer and closer. Early
this morning they put en- their best
uniforms because they knew this
was the day.
When a company led by Captain
Joseph Giacobello of Mount Union,
Pennsylvania. drove the Germans
into a forest back of the camp and
entered the prison enclosure, the
men lined up behind officers and
smartly gave the salutes CT many
countries.
Then they burst into cheers.
When Lieutenant Colonel George
Connell of Emporia, Kansas. COM
mander of the Second battalion of
the 18th regiment, arrived, Polish
lieutenant and an Italian medical
corps captain whisked him inside
and served coffee prepared frcm
supplies in an American Red Cross
parcel.
While German machine gun bull
lets thudded against a building 100
feet away. I talked to a Pole who
said the Germans took $50 Ameri-
can prisoners into Germany night
before last.

SNOWBALLING LITERACY
{ Riverside Daily Press

tfllNeFSIUe DdllS IISSSJ
The government of Ecuador has found
a new way to spread literacy. There IS
a clause in the Ecuador constitution pro-
viding that no one has right to claim
citizenship unless he can read and write,
and it is now being enforced.
Accordingly, a drive for literacy is
being conducted by radio stations, mag
azines and organizations of many kinds.
The biggest response is said to be in the
age group from 20 to 30 years.
1t is a very cooperative undertaking:
Whoever has learned to read is expected
to start right out and teach somebody
else In this way literacy rolls up like
a SNOWFALL. Old people as we'll as young
are getting into the game, and there
seems to be real kick in it. One young
man, for example, goes around Dragging
how he has taught his 60-year-old father
to read, and others are boasting about
learning to write letters after twenty
days study.

THE VALLEY

(Memphis Commercial AppeaD
No Just complaint can be registered
against the croOners, groaners, gurglerS,
moaners and ScreamerS, who dispense
popular songs over the radio, on the
ground that they stick to the same thing
too stubbornly 1t has not been very
long since they were all frenziedly and
with one voice imploring maternal fig
ure to place a shooting pistol in repose.
Then, almost as at signal, they lost in
terest in the lethal weapon proposition
and turned unanimously to an exposition
of the alleged fact that mairzy doats,
dozy doats, etc. Perhaps wearied in body
and spirit by their strenuous endeavors,
but for some reason or none, the whole
gang is now headed for the San Fernan-
do Valley to make their homes. Each of
them relies repetitiously on the promise
of kindly old Rev. Thomas to make him
or her one with somebody or other, and
in general they seem to have gone rug
gedly romantic, agrarian and domestic
1t is probably delusive to hope that the
valley they are headed for has only one
entrance, which will be closed by a land
slide or something. They would un-
doubtedly soar out on the wings of what
they call song. Anyhow, none of these
spasmS last long.
