Imperial county will have only one
big military airport, the Mariness
Air Force station, dumped into its
lap for six months after the close of
the war and that will provide ter
minal facilities for air passenger,
mail, and freight service.
This county is in an enviable
position as far as military airports
are concerned said A. Y. Preble,
chairman of the county board OF
supervisors and also chairman OF
the California committee on utili-
zation of military airport facilities.
"Some counties will! have several
military airports turned back to
to them for maintenance and op-
Grafton six months after the war.

Lag in
Signing i
Deadline for
Registering
Grows Closer

With only two more days
before the deadline, registra-
ton in Imperial county
shows a mild last-minute rush,
County Clerk w. j. McClelland said
Wednesday.
Thursday is the last day for vot-
ers to qualify for the May l6 prl-
mary.
"Servicemen and their families
living in Imperial county have in
dicated considerable interest IN
whether they will be permitted to
vote in the county at the coming
election" District Attorney Charles
G.. Halliday said, "or whether they
must vote by absentee ballot in the
places where they established resi-
dence before coming to this coun-
ty.'
CONCURS IN RULING
Halliday ruled on the questions
and Attorney General Robert Ken
ny concurred in Halliday's opinion.
I'VE agreed that serviceman and
his family cannot register and vote
in this county if he and his family
have no intention of making 1t
their home after the war and have
not abanc oned their residence IN
another state, Halliday said.
IF, however, man and his
family have come to this county
because of military service, have
boughC or rented home here, and
intend to live here when the hus-
bands military service ends, he and
his wife are eligible to vote.
IF a man lives on a military
reservation and his family is here
only temporarily, then he and his
wife are not eligible to vote even
though they meet other require
ments. Neither are they eligible to
vote in this county if both husband
and wife are provided with living
quarters on a military reservation.
We agreed that they are not eligible
to vote because they have not ac-
quired residence here"
AS TO SINGLE MEN
If a single man in the service
stationed in Imperial county, lives
off the military reservation, ano
gives up his former residence, he
is eligible to vote in this county.
If. however. he lives on a military
reservation, he is not eligible to
vote here.
The California law requires that
in order to be eligible to vote a per-
son must have lived in California
a year, in the county 80 days, and
in the precinct 40 days.

The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-08-07

The CLOS democratic faith in the Ameri-
can people is demonstrated by the fact that
the major activity and purpose of the CLIO Po-
litical Action Committee Is to get as many
people as possible to register and vote.
The CLIO Is confident that Roosevelt
will be overwhelmingly reelected and
progressive Congress returned to Wash
ington if enough Americans 60 to the
polls i'm November to reflect the real senti-
ments of the American people.
It's only fear is that the difficulties placed
in the way of soldiers voting by the Roosevelt
opposition, the migration of millions of work.
ers to new war jobs, and other similar factors,
may result in small vote which is not truly
representative of the peoples wishes.
This belief and this fear find confirmation
in recent Gallup opinion poll which indicates
that three out of every five persons who have
left their home states prefer Roosevelt to
Dewey.
Of these and other people who haven't
voted before in their present election dis
tricts, $500 favor Roosevelt and 419o
Dewey, according to this poll.
To assure Roosevelt's reelection and Vic
tory Congress, therefore, the first essential is
to perform the democratic duty of all good
Americans-to register yourself, to get your
neighbors and fellow-workers to register, and
to see that as many people as possible 60 to
the polls and vote.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-08-07
Where Credits Due

An imposing list of anti-labor, anti-New
Deal and isolationist members of Congress
have been retired from public life In both
Democratic and Republican primaries; and an
equally imposing list of progressives have won
nomination.
Far be it from us to disclaim all the credit
so freely given to the CIO for these splendid
results. The efforts of CLIO political action
groups in getting workers to register and
vote have unquestionably been most import
ant factor
But, to give credit where credit is due, it
is the American people, the voters of all
groups, not just the CO. who have defeated
the reactionaries and nominated the pro-
gressives.
The CIO is merely proud to play its part
in a broad peoples movement which reflects
the thinking and wishes Of most good Ameri-
cans.
