Peace Plan of
Dumbarton Oaks

The Dumbartcn Oaks plan for
postwar cooperation of nations to
maintain peace was exam n d
Thursday by the FL Centro Rotary
club at its regular weekly meeting
in the Barbara Worth hotel.
Led by program chairman Robert
r. SchWob, head of the interna-
ticnal relations committee of the
club, the discussion on the Dunn
barton Oaks plan was participated
in by many members of the audi
ence.
Schwob explained the plan in gen.
eral terms and contrasted 1t with
the League of Nations, saying the
latter failed primarily because the
United States was not a member.
He stressed that preservation OF
peace, or active effort to enforce
peace must originate from strong
public opinion, both in this country
and in all others, If the plan is to
be effective,
Other opinions expressed were:
The plan does not eliminate en-
tirely the danger of old world power
politics; though the whole plan in
wolves entrance into complicated
world politics, this act should not
deter this country; while the coun-
try cannot be isolationist, it should
not lcse its individual rights; no
plan can succeed if ample con-
sideration is not given the masses
of people and world opinion be-
tween nations; more information
and less secrecy is needed II the
people are to become educated on
world affairs and international
planning and diplomacy.
Randall Henderson, Paul Jenkins
Stevens Harris, Earle G. Davis, Ira
Huffman and Roy Breedlove were
among those commenting on the
subject.
Plans for the annual Rotary club
women's night dinner to be held
Friday evening, January 10. were
presented by chairmen OF arrange
ments, w. A. Scheniman.
E. Paul Ford, public works su-
perintendent for Ell Centre, was pre-
sented as new member by William
A. Tondro. w. w. McEuen, president,

Judges Prepare
To Draw Venires

Two of the most important tasks
in January have TO do with the
selection of trial and grand juries,
Supervisor Court Judges Vaughn
N. Thompson and Elmer Heald said
Friday after checking over their
calendars.
Every January each judge selects
80 names and puts them in the
grand jury box so they will be
available during the year for the
selection of grand jury of 10 men,
berS. Registering to vote in the
county has nothing to do with the
possibility of being selected to serve
on a jury, the judges said, in spite
CT the current belief.
Also on every January each of
the five Imperial county super
visors puts 100 names in the trial
jury box, making a total of 500
available for trial juries when
needed. New names are drawn. from
the box en- an average of every
three months.
