upon our Government to take the lead in implementing them into united world structure. It should not rely for its defence upon independ- ent standing armies but upon the broader base of international secur- ity, guaranteed by all nations for the benefit of each nation.
 We believe tnat universal military conscription in times Of peace is CD a denial of the spirit of the
 the Atlantic Charter,
 CD A betrayal of our historic
 democratic tradition,
 (3 possible step toward bu-
 reaucratic fascism by setting
 up a powerful military caste
 ill this country,
 (4 a threat to the moral life of
 our youth, subjected in
 crucial year to an extended
 period of unwelcome futility
 and character disintegration.
 Untimely Proposal
 The proposal $ untimely in an age whose patterns of life and na- tional defense are yet unfiXed be- cause
 CD new and revolutionary scien-
 tific discoveries are making
 obsolete traditional methods
 of defense,
 (2) such an unprecedented step
 may lead to a false sense of
 national security,
 (3) the presentation in our in-
 ternational relationship will
 be heightened by any move
 which leads to suspicion of
 our national aims and will
 result in protective rearma-
 ment upon the part of other
 nations. This is the path of
 war and destruction and not
 to peace and national safety. We call upon the Congress of the United States to give to the world decisive demonstration of faith in the possibility of achieving a world unity, resting upon goodwill and mutual respect, rather than upon force and material power The prac- tise of the principles of the Chris tian religion still remains our ulti- mate and most practical security. We reaffirm with deepening con- viction the words adopted by the General Conference of 1944: "the time is at hand when the Church must rise in it's might and demand an international organization which will make another war impossible

Negro Soldiers
To Be In China
War Correspondent of the Atlanta
Daily World and NNPA)

DAILY WOrld AMI NNPA)
DELHI - (Via Cable - ''Ameri-
can Negro troops will be used in
China, as military exigency de-
mands," 1t Gen. Dan l. Sultan,
Commander of the India-B Burma
Theater, told this correspondent in
recent interview.
The question arose because of
rumors that Negro troops would
not be sent into China.
when the Chinese request
American troops. we send those we
can spare" said General Sultan,
and the Chinese make their own
choice as to those they wish based
there. We make no distinction be-
tween such troops, save status of
availability China has the final
say as to their own immediate
needs but I believe that if military
exigency demands the use of Negro
troops in the China Theatre,
American authorizes Will not hest
tate to use them," the General
concluded.
Reports from the Service of
Supply Headquarters are that some
Negro drivers are still being used
in the convoy service on the Still
we'll Road. But the majority of the
white American drivers and equip
ment remain in China as perman-
ent personnel while the Negroes are
returned to their bases. This led
your correspondent to inquire if the
Kuomintang Government maintains
policy on this matter.
The experience Of the first Ameri-
can convoy over the Stillwell Road
which included Negro and white
drivers, convinced the Negro per-
sonnet that the Chinese people
themselves had no objections to the
Negro group. AS a matter of fact
they extended them a most hospita-
able welcome.

LONDON, Feb. Ia. (UP)
European dispatches said
Wednesday t h It Germany
has proclaimed her intention
of scrapping the rules of war
for a "no-holds- barred" fight
to the death as a result of the
Big Three's Crimean declar-
alton.
The new policy was said to have
been set forth Tuesday by Paul
Schmidt, official spokesman for the
German foreign office.
Stockholm sources speculated that
Schmidt's statement might fore
shadow German use Of poison gas.
The death sentence outlined for
Germany in the Crimean declara-
ton frees the Reich of "all moral
obligations" to abide by the rules
of war, the Nazi-controlled Scandi-
navian Telegraph bureau quoted
Schmidt as saying at press con-
ference.
"The Germans henceforth will
conduct the war with all suitable
means, no matter how grim their
effect" Schmidt said.

Representatives of organized labor
Wednesday argued against work or

The witnesses were Clinton Gold

Federation of Labor.
Hines denounced the pending bill,
which would make men from 18 to
As subject to a labor draft, as "a
long step down the path that leads
to complete totalitarianisn,. -
I'VE feel that the methods pro-
posed by this legislation would re-

fort" Hines said, land that coercive
and compulsory legislation cannot
accomplish what voluntary effort
by free labor can"
He said sponsors of the bill are
made up wholly of representatives
of the army and navy and selective
service. 1t is opposed, he said, by
organized labor, employers, and
agricultural leaders.
Golden said the CIO stands be-
hind a substitute proposal being
drafted by Senators Harley M. Kill

Bodies
Funeral Rites
Arranged for
Drowning Victims

The bodies of AL Massera,
SO, and Ceasar Locatelli, Sc,
were found Wednesday morn
ing in the Westside main
canal west of Imperial a lit
tie more than "a hours after
they plunged into the water
in MasSera's station wagon
while hunting ducks.
Massera's body was found at 7:30
am. Wednesday mile down stream
from the scene cf the accident. Lo-
catellis body was located at 10 am.
three and three-quarters of mile
farther down S.ream.
Funeral services for Massera, one
of Imperial Valleys most successful
produce men, will be held at high
mass in the Catholic church in Ell
Centre at 10 am. Friday. Burial
will be at Modesto, his birthplace.
Services for Locatelli will be held
in Watsonville, his home.
HAPPENED AT $50
The fatal accident occurred at
6:20 am. Tuesday as the station
wagon clock, anG two watches of
the victims all had stopped at that
time.
Tracks of the vehicle, driven by
AL Massera, showed that it had
Travelled straight down a road run
ming through a lettuce field and
into the canal, missing canal
bridge which was offset from the
road, investigating officers said.
w. B. Hubbard, business associate
of Massera, and Walter Massera,
brother of one victim and son-in-
law cf the other, also pitched into
the canal but by miracle escaped
ceath.
Hubbard said the first he knew
he was floating in the water. Walter
Masera was nearby in an exhausted
condition and about to give up the
struggle. Hubbard pulled the ex-
hausted man from the water and
revived him. He then ran down
the canal bank about a mile be-
cause he thought he saw one of
the other men in the water. He
thinks now, however, that the dim
light and his condition tricked him.
AL Massere was wearing hip boots
which, of course, made his plight
worse than if he had been without
them. Lights on the car were dim
before the accident, Hubbell said,
but still shining.
After his fruitless search of the
canal, Hubbard went back to the
road and found a tractor driver in
a field nearby. who helped him
flag down a motorist to take him
to Imperial for help.
DRAGGED ALL DAY
The canal was dragged all Cay
