War EFFORT
SLACK Time
Employment Manager Suggests
That Many May Give
Temporary Aid

With the present season a slack
time in farming and some other re-
lated jobs, the help of qualified
will be a vital contribution if they
enter some war industry, A. j. Fey,
manager of the United States en-
ployment service office here, pointed
out.
The next two or three months
will find a number of Valley county
residents without work. They could
do no more for their country than
to go into defense work for that
period" he commented. He pointed
out that those engaged in farming
may return to that work and be
released from any other occupation
at any time.
The American system of waging
war means that war munitions and
equipment are used in enormous
quantities to save the lives of men.
If we fall short of equipment needs.
there will be fewer of our men re-
turn when peace comes. They will be
left dead on the battlefield"

An interim committee on military
affairs Saturday had under con-
sideration a proposed statewide
plan for cooroinated community
service for returning veterans
which Assemblyman Richard Nc
Collister, (R). Mill Valley. chair
man, said would have the backing
of Governor Earl Warren.
McCollister said he believed the
state should aid in funds to hire
county service officers" to work
with local civic and veterans or
ganizations in directing veterans
to available government services
and in helping them find jobs.
The governor, he said, had ex-
pressed tentative approval of the
plan and said 1t might be included
in the call for special legislative
session late this spring If worked
out in detail.
Captain Robert Driver OF State
Selective Service headquarters told
the committee that servicemen we're
being discharged in California at
the rate of about l40 day or 1000
a month. He said that demobiliza-
ton plans worked out by the army
are very good" but do not apply

If the new threat, involving sur
prisingly strong japanese forces,
were successful it would force the
entire British army on the Bur-
mese central front to rely on air
supply and supply depots built up
in the Manipur valley.
Fighting in the area was said
to be severe. An enemy break across

from past experience that air sup
plies and emergency stocks will keep
the defenders going until the force
of the japanese attack has been
dissipated and the British have
been able to clear roads.
The japanese were trying to
break into the Manipur valley from
the Ikhrul area east of Imphal
Small enemy patrols may have

and while it was not clear here
how strong the enemy forces were,
it is known they are within Is miles
