New Draft Rule
axes Effect

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10. (UP)-
State selective service headquarters
said Saturday that many men in
the 1914 age group are being re-
classified because of the abolition
of Class ga.
The class, indicating deferment
for dependency reasons, was abol-
ished some time ago, requiring the
reclaSsification of men over 80 in
Glass BAH. as well as those un-
der 38 in Glass ga, 1t was said.
1t was pointed out that war de-
partment officials reiterated last
week that the army is not seeking
induction of men over 38, and their
reclassification was described as
routine.
The reclassification procedure,
however, is the same for those
under and over 38, it was said
Men over 80 who make no showing
of eligibility for an occupational
deferment will be placed in l-A-H.
and those who do will be put in
either 2-A-H or 2-B-H.

Leta Mae Bryan, the Itsy Bitsy of

time of her life when moving her
files and whatnot from one office
to another the other day.
Everyone far and wide knocked
off to listen to Leta Mae talk about
the cid time criminal cases which
had rocked Imperial county to it's
core in by-gone days.
"Oh, yes" she would say, picking
up a file and looking at the name
on the cover "I remember that
case well. A man disappeared and
later on some bones were found on
the desert. At the trial skeleton
expert was brought in. He recon-
structed the skeleton, putting the
bones together on a table He
showed where the man had a
broken leg. That must have been
more than 25 years ago"
Her audience was spellbound.

say taking out another file. That

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 UP)--
Two U. S. submarines recently re-
turned from war patrols imme6i-

land have sung 13 enemy merchant
ships aggregating 68,200 tons, the

These new blows against Japan's

Sweep Ukraine

MOSCOW, Feb 10. CUPl-The
official army communique said
Saturday that nothing can stop
us" as Soviet troops from the bliz-
zard-swept Ukraine to the ap-
proaches of Pskov slaShed forward
in multiple drives designed to drive
the Germans out of Russia.
The most sensational Russian
gains were scored along the lower
end of the northern front in an ex-
tension of the offensive which had
cast the Nazis westward from
Leningrad into EStonia.
The loss of Staraya RuSsa, chief
German bastion of Pskov, presaged
battles in which the fate of the
Baltic states is expected to be de-

Rental Control
For &c. Waits
Official 0keh

Although rent control for Ell Cen
tro, and perhaps all of Imperial
county, has been approved bv the
San diego office and the San Fran
cisco regional Office of Price Ad-
miniStration, final approval has
not been given in Washington but
is expected momentarily, officials
announced.
Charles w. Diffen, San Diego rent
control authority. who advised the
chamber of commerce that rent
c,ntrol in Ell Centre practically
was certainty last December. and
made Investigations of conditions
and complaints in this area, has
been unable to obtain approval of
his proposed establishment of Of
ficeS here.
EVE OFFICE SPACE
Officials of the rent control au-
thority have checked various avail
able office rooms in Ell Centro but
no definite arrangements have
bee nmade pending final approval
from the national capital. In all
other cases where the recommended
ton for establishment of rent con-
troll was made the federal approval
was granted, and it was predicted
that there should be no change in
the national policy in the valleys
case as set out by Diffen.
Under rent control separate Of
fices would be set up and the
United States Employment service
alreadv has arranged personnel to
conduct individual Investigations Of
all complaints in case approval is
granted.
PROGRAM OUTLINED
The ordinary procedure is to set
rents back to the March, 1912, level
unless some other date is arbi-
trarily set by the new office here.
Improvements to property and 9TH
er capital changes would be con-
sidered in checking the rents, but
if only ordinary maintenance has
been made, rents, if too high in
the estimation of the investigators,
will be dropped back to the freeze
date set.
Under rent control not only
would the ceiling rents be enforced,
but eviction of tenants and sales
of real estate would be rigidly con-
trolled.

Southwest Pacific, Feb. 10. CUP)-
Allied bombers sank 15 enemy ships
attempting to supply and reinforce
the big Japanese bases at Rabaul
and kavieng, in a mast-height,
three-day running attack that was
believed Saturday to have destroyed
the entire convoy.
A communique, which said enemy
casualties were heavy, listed the
sunken ships as A destroyer, two
corvettes, an 8,00O-ton tanker, a
7,500-ton tanker, a 6O00-ton trans
port, five cargo ships of 1000 tons
each, three 1,50l-ton cargo vessels,
and 500-ton freighter.
This is believed to have COM
prised practically the entire con-
voy,' the announcement said.
Allied medium bombers intercept
ed the convoy on Tuesday off Mas
sau island, north of New Ireland,
after a lone Liberator spotted the
supply ships steaming toward the
narassed japanese bases in the Bis
marck archipelago.
The IL sunken merchantmen ag-
gregated 36,500 tons and included
tankers cfrrying oil for battered
japanese air bases.
LITTLE DEFENSE
Except for anti-aircraft fire
from the ships, the Allied bombers
were unopposed as they swooped
over the vessels at maSt-height,
singly or in pairs. The japanese
failed to put single plane in the
air to protect the convoy
Other bombing units continued

vieng, New Ireland, and Rabaul.

Primary Ballot
Cited by Kenny

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 70. CUP
Attorney-General Robert w. Ken
ny ruled Saturday that separate
ballots must be used May 16 for the
combined primary election and the
vote ON federal property taxation
amendment.
He ruled, however, that the ham
n eggs pension initiative, if it
is found qualified for a vote May
16, may appear on the same spe-
cial ballot with the taxation
amendment which would allow local
levieS against federal property
The opinion, requested by Secre-
tary of State Frank M. Jordan, said
that the same ballot boxes and
election officers could be used for
both ballots.
Soldier vote" regulations for the
primary ballot, allowing it to be
sent out to servicemen SIS days be-
fore the election, will not apply to
the proposition ballot, Kenny said.
The earliest the pro. .osition ballot
may be sent to applicants for alb
sentee voting is 26 days.

PEARL HARBOR, Feb. 19 (UP)-
Meager official reports indicated
Saturday that powerful u. S. Marine
ana Army forces rapidly were ex-
tending their initial beachheads on
Eniwetok atoll, 750 miles northeast
of bomb battered Truk, with COM
plete conquests perhaps already in
sight.
SHIFT POSITIONS
While 16-inch gun American bat
tleships joined cruisers, destroyers,
and planes in a pulverizing bonn
bardment to cover the advances on
Eniwetok, other elements of the Pa
cific fleet apparently were retiring
from the Carolines after subjecting
the bastion of Truk to a smashing
carrier based air assault.
(Radio Tokyo Friday night again
told the Japanese people of fierce
fighting" at Truk and warned that
the American attack was part OF an
offensive pattern whose ultimate
aim was an assault on Tokyo. The

head was cracking up Saturday
against a series of American and
British counterattacks in some of
the greatest tank battles of the en-

The Germans have suffered ter

Throughout the five phases OF the

Congress Group Cites Peril
To u. S. I'm River Compotct

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10
(UP) = Representative Will
Rogers Jr., (DD California,
said Saturday the proposed United
States : Mexican w9ter rights"
treaty would '"sell California down
the river" by giving Mexico water
that is "the life blood of the west"
Rogers said, in joining opponents
of the treaty, that it has many
good provisions" but that it grants
unfair concessions to Mexico"
giving that country 100000 acre
feet of water from Boulder Dam at
the expense of Southern California.
The section of Mexico that would
benefit from the Boulder Dam
water supply does not need water
for irrigation, while Southern Cali
fornia must have an ever larger
water supply. Rogers added.
RAPS TREATY
Other representatives from the
area, including Rep. Edcuard v. p.
Izac, D., Calf, also criticized the
treaty now before the senate foreign
affairs committee.
II propose to discuss with experts
in the state department the results
of giving Mexico 100000 acre-feet
of water annually" Izac said.
Izac pointed out that San Diego
is entirely dependent upon CON
tingent' water-Water that is yield
cd in excess CT firm" water-for
it's annual supply of 10000 acre
feet and Los Angeles derives half
of its 100000 supply from con-
tingent" water. Izacs said that it
seemed to him there would be little
possibility of the two cities obtain
ing any contingent" water after
Mexico had drawn her supply,
