o. additions to the measure:
|. Surplus water available for do
mestic or industrial uses at reSer-
voirs serving irrigation purposes
should be disposed of under the
federal reclamation laws to assure
the states and people of the upper
basin CT the Missouri river that the
water necessary to their agricu-
tural economy may not be taken
frcm them"
2. The Sacramento and San JOa-
quin basin projects in California
should be reShaped to exclude sew
eral projects, chiefly for irrigation .
because such projects should be
developed by the bureau of reclaim
alton as part of its overall central
valley irrigation plan. He urged
omission of the Table Mountain
dam, Kern river, Terminus. and
Success reservoirs on Keweah and
Tule rivers, Kings river, Tuolumne,
and Stanislaus rivers and LittlejOhn

3. Provisions should be made to

authority to dispose o. hydroelectric

poGed projec'S, with the rates con-
firmed and approved by the federal
power commission.
4. Recreation projects in the flood

Great Increase
Seen in Apple
And Peach Yield

CHICAGO, June 8. CUP)-William
Garfitt. executive vice president OF
the United Fresh Fruit and Veget-
able association, said Wee nesday
the current peach crop probably
will show an increase of nearly $50
FER cent over last year and the
1914 apple crop will be hall again
as large as that of l943.'
Speaking before the 46th annual
convention of the National Associa-
ton of Retail Grocers, Garfltt said
all fresh fruits and vegetables prob
ably will be plentiful this year,
and that prices probably will be
lower, discouraging the black mar
ket.
Banana shipments have reached
35 per cent of their pre-war vol
ume and probably will increase TO
50 per cent of normal by the end
of 1914. he saic. Reports indicate
an orange crop II per cent greater
than last year and a per cent
increase in grapefruit yield, he
declared.
He predicted that slightly small
er lemon crop will be offset by low
cred government requirements which
will release enough lemons to sat
isfy domestic demand.

INVASION OR NOT,
STRIKES 60 ON

1t seems unbelievable that there should
be even a hint of a strike since dawn
Tuesday-since the hour that D-Day
started But it is all too true that the
invasion has made no difference.
But as disgraceful as these strikes
may be- they are waves of patriotism
in comparison to an incident Wednesday
in a General Motors plant in Detroit.
There at the strike threat demand of the
United Automobile Workers. a ClO un-
ion, the company was forced to discharge
five more eX-service men under a main
tenance of membership clause. In other
words, five men who had fought for their
country were forced from their Jobs be-
cause they did not have the money to pay
the union dues or did not prefer to re-
enter the union upon their return from
the battlefrOnts to resume their civilian
satus The maintenance of membership
clause. in other words means "closed
shop"
In Los Angeles, while bells were ring
ing announcing the invasion was on and
while millions of people paused to muir
mur a prayer for victory. electric rail
employees were voting on a strike and
with a majority for the strike In New
Jersey more than 1900 truck drivers. on
beer carriers, struck with threat that
the strike would affect thousands of
others
Invasion. Victory! On with the strikes.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-06-08
Y Rise TO Remark

United Nations. United States Vic
tory" China Victory" The next
100 will be named after cities; I
suppose we will have Los Angeles
Victory and a San Francisco Vic
tory. The commission also builds
cargo vessels, tankers, coastal ships
and ether craft. The C-1 class.
smallest and slowest, are named
after capes; Cape Hatters," Cape
Decision" The CO class are named
after the old clipper ships; Red
Jacket" Flying Cloud" The C-3
ships, largest of the basic type, all
carry the name sea; for example,
"Sea Bass" Sea Hound" The CA
class have the key word Marine;
such as Marine Eagle Marine
Panther"
LARGE TANKERS
Large tankerS are named after
the old Spanish missions and after
battles, which strikes me as an ode
combination; such as Gettysburg, "
and I suppose San Juan Capistra-
no." Coastal tankerS are named
after oil fields; "Srindletop'' etc.
The Panama type tankers are nam
ed after colleges: Cornell, Dart
mouth" but I rise to remark that
I don't see "Haverford" on the
list
Coastal freighters are named af-
ter the ole clipper ship captains;
Do
Harbor tugs are named after ports:
Port Henry" Port Kent" Seago-
ing tugs get the names of light
houses; Point Loma," Watch
Hill When C-type ships, tankers,
or other craft. are turned over to
the army or the navy, or to pri-
vate operators, the names are
changed.
AT the start, it was customary to
have a ceremony at each launching.
You remember the story of the wo-
man who was invited to christen
a ship in the Kaiser yards. She
complained she didn't see any ship
reacy to christen. ITS okeh. LADY,
said one of the workers. You just
start swinging, and there will be

Medical Group
Protests
New Draft Rules

CHICAGO. June 8. CUP)-The
journal of the American Medical
association Wednesday protested a
selective service ruling denying de-
ferments to premedical stuC ents,
and said that "the problem is of
sufficient Importance to demand
that it be taken, if necessary, di-
rectly to congress and the Presi-
dent"
An editorial in the June 10 issue
of the Journal sale that lat a time
when the whole world is confronted
with a need for well trained phys
icians as never before. American
officialdom is apparently willing to
cut off the supply at its very
source"
Selective service officials ruled
in April that premedical students
could not be ceferred unless they
have entered actual classroom work
in recognized medical school by
July /, 1914.
About $500 doctors die each
year in the United States" the
Journal declared. IF the armed
forces are to take 1880 out of 6,440
in each medical class, leaving the
balance of 3,1l0 to be filled by
women and defective men, the sit
uation five years from now will
be hazardous. There will be an ac-
tual deficit of physicians coming
into the profession each year"
1t recommended that the house
of delegates of the American Medi-
cal association consider the prob
lem at the associations annual con-
vention next week at Chicago.
