up on their heavy paper work. in
preparation for a quick return to
business when the conference re-
sumes, presumably on Friday.
There was nothing official on
Premier Stain and President Tru-

it is believed that they will have no
business SeSSiOn-although the pos
sibility of informal chats was not
ruled out.
On this ninth day Of the meeting
the Strictest secrecy still covered
all details of Big Three discussions
and most secret of all was the queS-
ton of the continued presence of
the three nations military and nav
ii chiefs.
The fact that they're still around
indicate that the fields which they
cover are still under discussion
PACIFIC WAR

man came to POts6am determined
that, among manV other things. the
conference must help to speed tho
end of the Pacific war
However, anv details along this
line have been closely guarded ana
responsible quarters discounted ru-
mors that the Big Three would an
nounce any explosive Japanese war
developments. The United States
is still on record as respecting Sow

Mrs. H. Burghardt has a COW, but
she isn't sure how much longer

For the last week someone has
been milking the COW before
Mrs. Burghardt has had a chance
to get down to the barn. On Mon
day. someone took the milking stool,
and Tuesday the cows block of salt
was missing.
In desperation, Mrs. Burghardt
entered the following classified ad-

PARKER DAM POWER
In regard to dependable capacity
under the districts contract with
the United States for $4,000 of
Parker Dam power, this power is
delivered over a single transmits
sion line ITO miles in length. The
line runs southerly from Parker
Dam to Gila substation about 10
miles east of Yuma. where deliver
les are made to several Arizona
Utilities and power districts, then
continues westerly some so miles
to Drop No. 4. The contract which
was ratified by directors of the
Imperial DistrictbOard on August
6, 1910. is for term of 20 years
but subject to reduction in de-
livery by the government at the
ditions of demand at Parker Dam.
The contract is also subject to
reduction at any time for the pur-
pose of inspection CT repair Of the
power plant or transmission line,
or when the flow of water in the
Colorado is insufficient to enable
the government to meet all Of its
contracts. In case of a year of low
runoff in the Colorado river drain
age basin, the district must anti
cipate some reduction below $4,000
kilowattS, this has been estimated
at 20 per cent, making the depcn-
dable capacity 10000 XIV.
Based on figures which show that
kiloWatt hour sales. in the areas
served by district power have in
creased 1853 per cent frCm 1925 to
1914, inclusive, and that from 1945
to 1850, inclusive. the total per-
centage of increase will continue
to be in excess Of that of more
fully developed community, the
directors called attention to the
fact that all of the districts elec-
trical facilities are being required
to supply the present demand and
that it is of vital necessity that
adequate steps be taken to safe
guard the system and make ade-
duate provision for its future ex-
panSiOn.

Is dependent upon the demand for
irrigation water in Imperial Valley.
The present irrigation demand
varies from a maximum of 5000
second feet during the late spring,
summer and early fall months to
q minimum of no flow when. for
reasons such as a general rain over
the irrigated area, there is little, if
any, demand for water. While
such rains are infrequent and oc-
cur only twice or three times in
a year, their effect may last from

Chief Reed Warns
On Auto Fires

A record high of i3 car fires have
been put out during the past three
months, Fire Chief Corn Reed has
announced in warning motorists 10
be careful of fire hazards, especially
smoking, in their cars.
Chief Reed cited dropped cigarets
as the major cause Of car fires in
Ell Centre. He blames faulty elcc-
trical wiring as second in cause Of
automobile fires.
If we get to fire quickly
enough" Chief Reed continued. I'VE
usually can put it out with a hand
extinguisher. But even though we
save the car, thee often is damage
to upholstery or equipment that is
hard to replace.
He warned drivers to keep their
cars clean and in good repair to
eliminate as many fire hazards as
possible and to be especially careful
of cigarets.
He suggests five rules to follow
If your car catches fire on the road:
/. Turn off the ignition
o Get people out of the car and
keep them away from the fire.
g. If you have a fire extinguisher,
use it. Fight the fire from outside
the car, but never crawl under it,
and aim the stream of extinguiSh-
ant directly onto what is burning
Keep to the windWard side of the
fire, so you can see what you are
doing and will not be overcome by
smoke and fire gases.
4. If you have no extinguisher
yourself, hail a passing truck or
bus. as most of them do carry such
equipment.
5. After the fire is extinguished
let the car air out before getting
back in.

Do you feel headachy and upset due to
poorly digested food? To feel cheerful
and happy again your food must be
digested properly.
Each day, Nature must produce about
two pints of vital digestive iuice to
help digest your food. If Nature fails.
your food may remain undipested-
leaving you headachy and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the f3ow
of this digestive juice. Carter's Little
Liver Pills increase this flow Quickly
often in as little as 80 minutes And.
you're on the road to feeling better.
Don't depend on artificial aids TO
counteract indigestion-when Carter's
Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma
ture's own order. Take Carter's little
Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any

Tells Of War;
On Leave in |. A.

1t. Col. Karl E. VOeltCr. former
commander Of FL Centre Marine
Corps Air Base, is spending a leave
from the Pacific thcatcr with his
family in Los Angeles He was in
the Ie Shima invasion and in an
interesting interview given the Los
Angeles Times, tells about his cx-
perienceS.
The story in full as printed in
the Times follows:
Ie Shima, before the Americans
arrived, was no place for a dog.
1t. Col. Karl f. Voeltcr indicated,
commenting on the plague of flcaS
that infested the tiny island just
off OkinaWa.
Why. they were worse than the
Jap bOmbingS," said the genial ma
rine officer, now at home on leave.
"A. person could wash his shirt and
then hang it out to dry, and within
minutes it would be alive with fleaS.
We carried cans of insect powder
with us with which we gave our
selves occasional duStingS.
NO STOPPING EN-
But even the insecticidc wasn't
enough, Colonel VOclter said, nor
was an aerial DDT duSting Suffi-
cient to put an absolute end to
the trouble. FleaS, he added, made
rugged life harder.
The officer, who has % years OF
flying experience and who won three
All-American air races, is also a
veteran of World War I. He was an
aviation instructor with the Army
Air Corps then But for the last Is
years he has been with the Marine
Corps. He was commanding officer
of the marines at Ie.
NEAREST TO JAPAN
when the Americans secured the
Ie airstrips, our nearest to the Japa-
nese homeland" he said, we we're
within the range of planes from
moro than 300 Jap bases Most of
those have now been made incffec-
tive"
The colonel is spending a 30-day
leave here with his wife. who lives
at 1880 North Cherokee avenue He

gram broke out after Edouard Dali
adler, the third former French pre-
mier to accuse Petain in the three
days of the trial, completed his for
NAL testimony.
Daladier ripped into Petain with
an oratorical vigor that worked up
to a frenzy of shouting, his face
flushed crimson and streaked with
tears, his voice choking with emo
ton.
Daladier charged that Petain and
the Vichy regime of which he was
chief of state was bent solely on
the obstruction of the French re-
public and of democracy"
BEYOND MANDATE
Accusing Petain of going beyond
the mandate given him by the ma
tional assembly meeting at Vichy
under the pressure of German
bayonetS," Daladier cried:
I'VE saw the birth of a regime
which, under the name of the
French state, was to replace the re-
public, supported by a band of ad-
venturers and traitors.
We, however, refused to Believe
in Frances irremediable defeat, and
left on June 20. 1910, on the steamer
Mausilia While on the high seas
we learned of the armistice cOndi-
tons, and decided to organize in
North Africa a resistance movement
! among French patriots"
But Daladier was brought back
TO France to become a prisoner and
to face Nazi-dominated French
court in the incompleted Riom trials
Daladier then told of his hope
that Petain would raise the flag of
resistance at the time of the Allied
invasion of North Africa.
NO HELP FROM VICHY
AT the time of the American
landings in North Africa" he said,
i expected great things from vi
chy, but was terribly disappointed
when l saw that nothing happen

Under cross eXaminati ton Dala-
dier answered question whether
he thought Pctain had betrayed his
country:
In all conscience I must say he
betrayed the duties entrusted to
him The word treason has many
different meanings One may COM
nit treason by venality or incap-
acity, as Marshal Petain did"
