NAziS OVERLOOK
HUMAN EQUATION

(RiverSde Daily Pr2SS)
History has no parallel of the Allies
plans and preparations for D-day. They
stagger the imagination. And yet every
thing couldn't work out perfectly ac-
cording to plan. And when it didn't, says
a Navy officer who took part in the
operation, it was the individuals ability
to think quickly and to improvise solu-
tions to new problems that saved the
day.
And it was the improvised solution to
a perpleXing problem that helped the
Americans win the ''battle of the hedge
rows" in Normandy. Sgt Curtis Culin,
who remembered knocking over snow
banks in his native New Jersey, figured
out the plow- pointed "rhino tank that
cheW2d up the hedge-rows and started
the Yanks rolling.
Even in mechanical warfare the hu-
man element is the deciding factor. And
the decision is often influenced by such
intangiblas as the fact that soldier has
been reared in a country where he was
allowed and encouraged to think for
himself That is one thing that Hitler
and the Junkers, in their years of build
ing a war machine, overlooked. In fact,
they probably wouldn't even understand

Editorials and Comment

Bloc which succeeded in breaking the
strangle-hold Cuthbert Olsen steadily
was gaining on the states fiscal life.
On the other hand it was Sheridan
DoWncy as state senator who was OlSen's
right hand man in the suicidal measures
which all but had the state bankrupt. 1t
was Downey who carried the torch if he
actually did not draft the legislation
under the Olson program.
Houser drew the act which redistricted
the state for congressional membership
and il was through his instrumentality
moie than any other one person that
there is today the 22nd district comprlS-
ing Imperial. Riverside and Orange coun-
tieS-an area of common interests. giving
these counties a member of congress who
could unity these interests to direct ben
efitS toward their needs.
IIouser understands, and is Sympa
thetc to the interests and needs of agrl-
culture.
Imperial county will do we'll to swell
HouSer'S majority in definite vote of
confidence. He is pledged to battle to a
finish the impending Colorado river
water pact with Mexico. Downey pro-
claims he is 100 per cent back of the
present administration. The immediate
action of the administration, if retained
in power will be to force this treaty
through the senate and if Senator Down
y honestly is 100 per cent new deal,
than he must and will vote for confirma-
ion.
Houser fully merits the confidence of
he voters He should and will receive a
weeping vote in Imperial county.

says Mr.. Holbrook of Holbrock's
Mobilgas station. Just let him be
a reminder to you that this is the
period to watch, inspect and safe-'

than ever. That's all he stands for:
Caution. And that's enough! If we

Because no car owner wants to
take chances on being stalled, mo-
torists are advised to have both the
battery and tires checked more
carefully than ever as the time of

This is advice given by r. w.
Bob" Hatton, G p. Battery and
Federal Tire Distributor in this
area. who says:
As we get into the season Of
colder nights and mornings, batter
les should be checked every week

S60-60 WOULD FAIL PURPOSE
AND BANKRUPT STATE

A most potent argument against Pro
position Il to be voted upon next Tues
day is that it utterly would fail of its
pretended objective. AS final an argu-
ment against it is that in failing in its
purpose it would bankrupt the state and
add a burdensome tax on an already
overburdened public.
Backers of the proposition defend the
absurd method of financing their chimera
by telling voters that an identical plan
and levy works in the territory of Hawaii
and in the state of Indiana. This state
ment is proved to be misleading through
careful surveys by responsible groups.
In the cases cited. the levy does not
apply 10 everything by long way Many
items are exempted, and the claim that
this method will be followed in Califor-
MIA is wholly misleading, if not pure
fraud.
If the Hawaii and Indiana levy were
applied in California it would produce
around S150.000,000. The Townsend $50
at so levy if it ever were fastened on
California would raise more than $1,000
600. 900 and that is the amount which
would be required annually to carry out
the dream.
But there are other phases of the meas
for payment of 500 month to everyone
after reaching the age of 60-with resi-
Dental requirements attached-no mat
ter if they need the help or not. Be they
millionaire or pauper, each month there
would be the $50 check. Likewise it pro
vides indiscriminately for like assistance
to the crippled and the blind regardless
of thir fiscal situation. These two things
should he sufficient to cause the plans
overwhelming defeat.
Another word of caution as to the tax
levy. The measure would set up 3 per
cent flat tax on all gross income from
whatever source and this rate could be
increased to per cent It safely is eSti-
mated this would amount to approx
matelv $3.50 per capita. And this levy
would be added to all others now exist
ant save the retail sales take.
Furthermore, adoption of Number II
Immediately would divorce the state form
Federal age pension and social security
Thus. California. which tops all other
states in its generous provisions for the
aged would be on its own and in few
years would have to begin all over be-
cause the Townsend S60-60 plan could
not exist long-smply because bank
rupt state could not pay.
Here is another thought for voters
when they consider this proposition. The
added tax burden would so upset the
states economy as to make utterly I'M
possible carrying out Of any postwar
reconstruction program and that would
be calamity too terrible even to contem-
plate.
The whole scheme is preposterouS and
impossible from all angles. 1t is an over
shadowing menace to the states fiscal
security.
1t should be defeated so definitely
that it never again will be put before the
