Paper Turns
TO Roosevelt

PITTSFIELD, Mass, Oct. Is
History was made here this
week when the Berkshire Eve
ming Eagle, which had supported
Republican candidates for 85
years, announced its endorse
ment of President Roosevelt.
The Eagle, the lone daily news
paper here, has circulation of
$4,000 in Western Massachu-
sets, but its decision was eX-
pected to have wide repercus-
sions since it spoke as an indie
pendent newspaper. 1t is no
secret that it is the group which
Governor Dewey has been cater
ing to.
After a careful appraisal of
both candidates, the Eagle de-
cided it would be "the better
part of wisdom to endorse
the leader of that party for re-
election whose prophetic vision
of the war to come was certified
as far ago as 1887 and who,
under the circumstances, pre-
pared magnificently for it. Since
the war and peace cannot be
divorced but are sum and sub
stance of the same forces, we
feel that Mr.. Roosevelt should
lead this country for the next
four years. 1t seems safer to
endorse the leadership of party
which has proved right against
the leadership of a party which
has been wrong but seeks vindi-
cation mostly by spacious argu-
ments of the youth and vigor of
its present candidate. "

Look Who's
Taking!

81 agree that as a Presidential
possibility Dewey is preposter-
Gus and that his election would
be a calamity which happily
does not seem imminent. He just
isn't man enough for the job of
President" "
Correct! But look who au-
thored the statement. None other
than labor's "old friend" West
brook Pegler, writing in the
New York World Telegram,
June II, 1910.
What's the matter now, Peg?
Aching for that Secretary Of
Labor spot or did Mr. Howard
and Mr.. Hearst pull those pup
pet strings?

Popermakers
Give Frank Report
On Labor Unrest

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, -
(LPA)-The report of a special
committee of the International
Brotherhood of Paper Makers is
getting wide circulation in gov
ernment offices here.
Labor Unrest and Dissatis-
faction" is the subject of the
report, made by a committee of
union members after several,
years of study of the problems
of the union.
The 70-page report to the
membership covers every aspect
of union members "gripes"
from way elections of interna-
tional officers are handled to
bad attendance at local meet
ings. Suggestions for improving
the operation of the union are
made at each point, and critic
isms of the administrator of
the union nationally and locally
are discussed by the committee.
Perkins Praises Report
The study has been lauded by
Secretary of Labor Perkins, in
a letter published in the New
York Times last week, and the
printed report includes an intro
ductory statement by Senator
Claude Pepper Cd. Fla.) prais-
ing the healthy spirit of frank
ness, self-analysis and self-crit-
icism" evidenced by the study.
Unrest and dissatisfaction"
the committee members remind
unioniSts reading the report,
are characteristic of the people
Of the democratic countries. Be
cause of these and a spirit of
determination to find causes and
remedies, our people are what
they are today"
Like Other People
Like all other people," the
P p makers committee OBJ
serves, "our members are tired,
sick and irritable. Their nor
NAL, peaceful existence has dis
appeared. They are dissatisfied.
1t is a perfectly natural result
for them to seek the reason for
their dissatisfaction blindly, to
desire a change - any sort of
change - in the hope it may
improve their circumstances"
This may lead to Victimization
of workers by unscrupulous
leaders, the report points out,
unless it is countered by "a
reasonably complete program of
education.
Unions must re pom d by
formulating a program seeking
a betterment of working condi-
tions," they conclude, as we'll as
by keeping facts, figures, COM
parative statistics and the whole
truth about rival unions before
our members at all times"

partment has resulted in rejec-
ton of both white and Negro
workers in circumstance where
acceptance might have meant
mixing Negroes and white per-
sons in one department, the
FEPC was told.
Testimony was also heard
from John Myatt, personnel
manager for the United States
Line, and from Capt. Clifton
Lastic, fourth Negro to receive
a masters certificate. Both said
that in their experience no trou-
BILE had resulted from hiring of
mixed crews.

FDR Popularity Rises

PRINCETON, LPA) - Ac-
cording to the Gallup Poll,
Roosevelts popularity among
CIO members has risen 4 points
between June and September,
and has dropped off one point
in AFL ranks. Dewey is report
ed to have greater support at
the present time among both
AFL and CIO members than
any other Republican presiden-
tial candidate since 1882. FDR
has 729o of the CIO votes, and
$50 of the AFL ballots, ac-
cording to the poll.

AFL Pepper Sheds Light

SAN JOSE, Calf. (LPA) -
The Union Gazette" labor pa
per published here, warns read
ers that the Republican press is
conspiring to create the impress
sion that the CIO is supporting
Roosevelt and the AFL is
against him. The Gazette" )"
which is an AFL paper, de-
nounces this as false and states
that already nearly half of the
countrys state declarations have
endorsed Roosevelt and are act
lively campaigning for re-elec-
ton.

Firm Ends Lockout

STERLING, ILL. (LPA)-The
firm that closed its doors to its
workers a half hour after the
United Steelworkers-CIO were
victorious in an NLRB election,
this past week again began pro-
duction. The lockout after the
election, which the firms comp
troller said was just a coinci-
dence," lasted for about nine
weeks, and ended with messages
to its former employees to come
back to their old jobs at the
same pay.

The production OF tomatoes IS
something that cannot be done
careleSsly. 1t must be done along
scientific lines. Even the use of
science and good farming sense
fails to eliminate the gamble from
the tomato industry. There is the
danger from frost; there is the
danger from too much rain; there
is the danger from pests of various
kinds; there is danger the market
will not be good during the time
the tomatoes are ready to be sent
throughout the nation to enliven
the dinner tables during the winter
months.
Since the time this luscious prod
uct was called the love apple and
was believed to be deadly poison,
there have been many advance
ments and Improvements in toma-
toes. The modern product COM
bines the best results of many
years of experiments and study
which were initiated in order to
get the best product possible. The
policy of trial and error, always
selecting the best to be used in
development of strain that would
do credit to this great agricultural
empire, finally resulted in a prod
uct that is the envy of the rest
of the tomato growing areas IN
the nation
DELICATE PROCESS
The harvesting of tomatoes is
a delicate process. The tomatoes
must be picked at the moment they
reach that stage of perfection when
to wait another day would mean
the tomatoes would be less than
prime. Tomatoes do not endure
Imperial Valley press., 1944-03-12

rough handling. They are too pre-
ciouS a product to be handled care
lessly. Handle with care" certain
ly applies to tomatoes.
Tomatoes also must be packed
with care in order for them to
reach the market in satisfactory
condition. The packages must be
right and the handling must be
right. A poorly packed and packag-
ed tomato is one of the things most
tomato growers will not counten-
ance.
They go to market by train and
by truck. They are welcomed every
where as one of the main elements
of a balanced diet and one OF the
products which make eating
pleasure.
Tomatoes have been grown in
Imperial Valley since early in the
development of this desert area.
They always have been the source
of one of the valleys richest harv-
ests, adding greatly to Imperial
Valleys fame as the Winter Gar
den of America" and the home Of
the best the soil of America can
produce.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-03-12

In the valley this year it is eSti-
mated that there are approximately
10000 to 45,0O0 feeder cattle being
fattened for the frying pan, the
roaster and the stew kettle. This
total is about normal, not many
more nor many less than has been
the case in past years. 1t would
appear that the feeder cattle bus
mess should be on the boom but
the hazards of the deal must have
caused the livestock men to refrain
rom importing too many cattle.
One stockman declared that the
deal is a good one this year as many
growers are making maximum use
of forage. The use of forage pro-
vides cheap gains and the cattle
may be quickly fattened for a rush
to market when the price is right.

OCD Stresses
Need to Be
Borlb-Minded

LOS ANGELES, March IL CUP)-
Although the threat of a japanese
bombing on the Pacific Coast is re-
mote, state office of civilian defence
leaders pleaded for continuance of
OCD as a protective measure.
Concluding a closed meeting to
discuss OCD activities, various city,
state and military officials agreed
that the threat of air raids is re-
mote but that Japan might at
tempt "tcken" raids to blast civilian
morale.
we bombed Tokyo when the
war was going strongly against US
will Japan attack the Pacific coast
now that she is losing?" asked Maj.
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant III, chief,
protection branch OCD, at the
meeting of the ninth regional
civilian defense board.
Gen. Grant, stationed in Wash
ington, said he would not guess as
to the possibility of a coastal bomb
ing, but pointed cut that an Garth
quake, serious fire or storm, is more
serious in wartime than in peace
time.
Gov Earl Warren attended the
conference.

Grain Growers
Association
Covers Valley

Grain growing is more than
$2,000,000 business in Imperial VAL
ley, according to the operations OF
just one Of the more successful CO.
operatives.
Manager r. M. Bellwood of the
Brawley Imperial Grain Growers as
Sociation said the company ham
died more than $2,000,C00 in barley,
wheat, flax, milo, alfalfa and other
grains for association members last
year. This represented a large ad-
vance in operations over the pre-
vious year, he said.
This association has as its busiest
seasons the harvesting of grain
crops, mainly May and June and
November and December.
The association was organized in
1922 and its purpose is to obtain
highest possible prices for members
as we'll as assure payment for grain
sold. 1t handles all details of ship
ment and gives out accurate mar
ket information. During the war it
has attempted to keep the producers
supplied with bags at the lowest
possible price 1t also has been ac-
tive in obtaining ammunition to
combat the predatory ducks and
blackbirds in the valley and now
is seeking permanent benefits to
valley farmers in assurances they
will be permitted to rid their fields
of the birds.
George R. Buffers of Brawley is
president, v. X. Corfman of Ell Gen.
tro, vice president, and G.. D. Walk
er of Westmorland, secretary. Six
directors also serve and j. r. Gar
vey is the firms sales representa-
tive in Los Angeles where the asso-
citation is member of the grain
exchange.
The association-has warehouse
space for $4,000 bags and storage
privileges in other cities.

Mexicah, metropolis of across
the-bordey Imperial Valley has
figured in a large way as the
outlet for a tremendous agricul-
tural production in response to
war calls. This extension of the
valley has met in full measure all
these demands in full step with
the valley on this side of the line.
Bordering this imaginary line,
practically half the population of
the valley south of the line and
through it tunnels the products
of the 1000 square miles of cul-
ttvated lands there. 1t is the
only city of size IN the continua-
ton of Imperial Valley below the
border. The valley counts a popu-
lation of around $4,000. Mexicali
capitol of Baja California.
Since the opening and improv-
ing of roads into the Imperial VAL
ley making Mexicali accessible TO
visitors from the United States,
1he mere name. MeXicali, has in
trigued thousnds of the curious to
venture out beyond the limits CT
Imperial county and into the pic
turesoue thoroughfares and sur
rounding territory of the border
city. A fairly large industry has
been built up by business-wary
MeXicali merchants in selling curios
and souvenirs of the land Of Mexi-
&c. Shawls, silverware, serapes and

shings purchased By Americans en-
tering the city for brief day.
! But commerce is not all leading
in the southern direction. In re-
turn for finished materials, the
Mexicans yearly send huge amounts
CT raw materials across the border.
Cotto9l-although much OF 1t is
ginned in Mexicali-makes up one
of the chief expert crops. Some
