Truck Shortage
PeriIs Crops

A shortage of heavy trucks to
carry Imperial Valley produce to
market was predicted Saturday at
a regional office of defense trans
portation meeting in Los Angeles.
Any shortage will bring chaos in
the dry pack shipment schedule OF
the valleys fresh produce and will
present serious problems in the
alfalfa hay and flax seed industry
the conference was advised by L.
c. Hawk, chairman of the USDA
war board, and Charles Small, Sec
retary, who represented the county.
Small declared that although the
county has been allocated big trans
port units by the war production
board. as fast as these big trucks
roll off the assembly lines the mill
tary services grab them by exercis-
ing priority rights. He also pointed
out that the manufacturers have
been unable TO maintain even so
per cent of their quota on small
delivery trucks and lighter model
trucks this year.
Shortage of gas is becoming
more marked daily as the campaign
in the Pacific combat areas is step
pee up and it Is going to necessitate
that the ODT stop all long hauls
by light trucks as we'll as empty
trucks travelling over the highways.
To combat this waste of fuel the
ODT will work out arrangements
to enable trucks to have hauls both

abandoned by the japanese when
they fled into the hills during the

expected the attack.
The Japanese left behind scores
of uncrated plane engines, bombs,
plywood belly tanks, tons of rice,
hundreds of cases of foodStuffs, and
great piles of ammunition. All of
it fell to the Americans without a

Parsons, head of the Calapproved
Seed program in California for the
state division of agronomy
Total acreage planted in the val
ley under the program is 972 this
year. The seed is grown by valley
farmers because they are interest
ed in improving the quality of seed
and realize a small premium from
its sale. Some OF the valley grow
ers have been in the program for
u years.
Crops grown under the program
this year are Punjab flax, white
federation wheat, California Mar
tout barley seed, and California
coast barley.
Farmers in other parts OF the
state also are interested in tEis
program in a statewide plan TO
produce the best seed possible and
thus raise the standard of agri-
culture products.

remanded the case to the circuit
court for further proceedings not
inconsistent with the opinion
AIRS VIEWS
Noting that the definition of en-
relationship cannot
be determined on state law or COM
mon law" standards, Rutledge said:
Both the terms and the purposes
of the statute, as well as the legiS-
lative history, show that congress
had in mind no such patchwork
plan for securing freedom of en-
ployes' organization and of collective
bargaining.
The Wagner act is federal legiS
lation, administered by national
agency, intended to solve national
problem on a national scale :.
consequently, so far as the meaning
of employe in this statute is con-
cerned, the federal law must pre-
vail no matter what name is given
to the interest or right by state
law"
DISSENTER'S VIEWS
Justice owen J. Roberts, dissent
ing, said that the question Of who
is an employe" is judicial one and
should not be left to the NLRB to
determine.
Unquestionably, he said, congr/6
in writing the act referred to pre-
vailing local practices as the cri-
terra of an individuals status.
According to that understand
ing" he added, 'the facts &.
demonstrate that the neWSboys
were not employees of the news

LITERARY CUIDEPOST
THE DOVE BRINGS PEACE" b.f Richard Hagopian tFsrTar & Rinehart: S2.50l.

l first heard of Richard Hago- plan through a friend of mine who was teaching voice al the time in Boston He thought the young MT. Hagopian had talent for singing, and never mentioned that he was a writer. Perhaps a that time MT. Hagopian wasn't a writer.
 But now he has done the public a considerable service with book of Armenian stories called "The Dove Brings Peace" The book is a charming performance, in the first place. But it also makes one think. It makes one think that perhaps William Saroyan is not a genius as he and others insist he is, but only an Armenian. Maybe any gifted, literate Armen- ian can turn out those stories. For "The Dove Brings Peace"
