Two.War Veteran
Visits Valley

Training and equipment are bet
ter in this war than they were in
World war No. /, in the opinion of
Everett (Spud) Murphy, who visited
in FL Centro Wednesday after serv-
ing in World war No. for more
than two years.
He is handling the same type of
equipment that he did while serv-
ing in the navy in the first World
war. He is water tender first
class in charge of a fire room
aboard destroyer. His record shows
service in Africa, Sicily, Algeria
the Marshalls, the Gilberts, Pan
ape, and Truk in addition to the
service he had in the navy in the
last war.
For instance" Murphy said, "in
the last war we got $50 pounds of
steam pressure per square inch. We
now get 635 pounds. We travel fast
er now than we did then. In fact,
equipment and training have i'm
proved 1000 per cent"
At Truk, Murphy'S ears were in
jured somewhat SO he has been in
hospital since last May 20. He has
some more treatment ahead of him
at the naval hospital in San Diego.
He then expects to be assigned to
limited duty somewhere within the
confines of the eleventh naval dis
trict. His wife and family are living
at San Bernardino.
Murphy spent most of his time
while in Imperial Valley talking
over the war with his fellow Ameri-
can Legionnaires. who wanted him
to give them comparison between
this war and the last one.

 New Orleans, Nov. 20 = (U.P0 = The American Federation of Labor opened a two-week convention today prepared to attack the Smith, Con- nally anti-strike law, the New Flor ida and Arkansas anti-closed shop laws and what some delegates char acterized as Stiffening federal con- trol of labor relations.
 A renewal of labor's general mo- strike pledge was on the agenda and was expected to materialize without controversy. AFL President William Green was scheduled to take up his opposition to proposed labor policies for beaten Germany while the general convention planned propos- als for a higher minimum wage, re- organization of the labor depart ment and for an industrial reconver- sion program.
 The theme of AFL Secretary George Meany'S statement last Sat- urday, in which he charged that the War Labor Board presumed to know better than we ourselves do what is, best for us," indicated forth coming convention criticism of VILE policies.
 Greens view of German labor'S treatment after the war was dis closed last week when he spoke against forcing German workers to rebuild shattered Europe. It is shocking, Green said, ito think that anyone fighting for freedom would demand that workers freed from totalitarianism should spend the balance of their lives in slavery.

 Shop now and send gifts before Dec. 1. Queue up for orderly board- ing of transit vehicles. Have exact fares ready if possible. Move clear of entrances to let others on and of. Use taxis only when necessary and share them with others when you can. Carry your own packages. And remember the Sixth War Loan. War Bonds and Stamps make the best Christmas gifts"
