GOVERNORS SERVE NOTICE
OF END OF u. S. CONTROL

If the conference Of governors OF thlr-
tv of the states recently held in Penn
svlvania had done nothing more, it we'll
was worth the time to have served notice
that there shall be an end to centralized
government in Washington and that the
states shall no longer let the tail Wag
the dog.
1t was encouraging and enlightenlng
to learn through this conference that the
states not only are determined to carry
on in the postwar program on their own,
but that for the most part the several
states are in a good fiscal position to do
this thing. In declaring that Federal
handouts must be shut off, or reduced
TO the point where such handouts will
be at the call Of the states alone, the
governors bluntly agreed that the old
pump at Washington is about dry and
that as a result of misdirected spending
and spending for political advantage,
states initiative almost has been Stlfled.
Equally of interest was the announce
ment from practically all the chief exec
utives present that their states are far
along in postwar planning, not only on
projects to be carried out, but in money
on hand or arranged for to put the pro-
grams through.
Governor Warren, who has called a
special session of the legislature to con-
vene next week to authorize postwar ex-
pendtures, in an address at the confer
ence demanded that the Federal govern
ment make known at once if it has any
postwar plans and what is being con-
sidered. In this he was supported and
also opposed. Some governors insisted
that the states must take the absolute
initiative and let the Federal government
trail.
All and all, the governors came away
from the meeting endowed with the spirit
of go-ahead and in shaking off the grip
of y. S. control.

CONSCIENCE REBELLED
pasadena Star-News)


One of Orange county's citrus growers
has solved a nice problem in ethics.
The problem came to him recently IN
the form of check from the soil con-
servation service. He called it "a bounty
for raising weeds, which every citrus
grower has raised for cover crop Tor
years"
He added the comment: 81 have always
felt guilty in accepting these DONATIONS
as | could not cast ballot without
twinge of conscience-had not been pald
for my vote?'
But here is his solution of the prob
lem of conscience: He sent check TO
the Orange County Republican Central
committee to help in financing the cam
paign to get rid of the "weed-growlng
subsidy :;
stance, but if the dea should spread
among farmers of the country, the New
Deal might find it had launched the blg-
oost political boomerang in history.

TWO OUT OF
 100 TRAINEES DIE

It may have escaped ob- servation, in connection with recent figures about the Army Air Force that more aircraft have been lost in this country in al- most three years of war, than in combat overseas.
 According to the report, 14,600 planes have been lost in combat and 17,500 have been lost at home. In addition $500 have been lost overseas outside of combat. At home, $500 of the 17,5O0 planes lost were worn out or abandoned be- cause no longer fit to fly.
 Overseas casualties in- clude 72,000 dead, missing, captured and wounded in combat missions and $500 non-battle casualties. At home; an additional 11,000 members of the Air Force have been killed in $500 fatal flying accidents since Pearl Harbor.
 The War Department emphasizes the magnitude of the training program and other activities in this country, saying that 4,342 hours were flown "for each airplane lost or worn out" For each wreck, it declares, there has been the equivalent of 40 global trips.
 Admittedly, the "dan- gerous business of prepar ing young men to fly very hot combat planes" in- wolves risks but the fatal rate is down to 20 in 1000. This means that of every 100 trainees, only two are killed and 95 complete

POLITICAL MOVES IN BALKANS

IN BALKANS
 The explanation for the rapid success of the British invasion" of Greece is to be found in the sweep of the Russian armies toward Belgrade, and, to a consid- erable. extent, the work of guerrillas attacking Ger man communication lines and escape routes in Yugo- slavia.
 In fact, British opera tions are probably more of a political than a military nature. For many years, the traditional British pol icy in the Mediterranean has been to maintain Greece and some areas along the Adriatic as a "sphere of influence"
 The Balkans, which, for years, constituted an An glo French area, has be- come a Russian sphere of influence as a result of the operations of the Red Army. Moscow's pre-oc- cupation with develop ments in Balkans has led some observers to believe that the purpose of Rus sian operations is also in fluenced by political con- S1OeT TdClOllS.
 Thus, Great Britain and Russia meet face to face in the embattled cockpit of Europe. The question aris- es whether their policies will conflict in the future and whether the British can continue their econom- ic, political and psycholog- ical influence in Greek and Dalmatian areas. - Fair banks NeWs-Miner).
