Brotherhood OF All
Services"

OO1 VIVID
THE TRIUMPH Of the Marines
on Two lima is described by
their commander, Lieut.. General
Holland NJ. Smith, as a victory "by
a brotherhood of all services, per
formed in the holocaust of bat
tle."
The leader of the gallant Mar
ines in the hardest fight of their
160-year history adds very prop
erly: LET us bow our heads in
commemoration of their gal
lantry."
1t might be a good idea for
every American to realize that
victory is coming to the United
States, in both of its wars, only
because of the brotherhood of all
services"

rivalry between the members of

Whom does your representative
represent? This is fair and timely
question, moreover, not as silly as
it sounds. He is supposed to repre-
sent you and few thousand other
people in your county and nearby
counties, but does he do it? If so,
how does he go about it? How does
he know what the people who elect
him think about questions he must
help decide?
OF course congressman all have
plenty of people to tell them what
to do. Lobbys and pressure groups
are always on hand. Whenever
congressman is appointed to an i'm
portant committee, he can be sure of
one thing: line will form to the
left outside his door; people waiting
to tell him which side of his bread is
buttered, show him very startling
statistics, shout scare-words in his
ears and/or shed tears on his desk.
Welcome Callers
Such lines are made up of miscel-
laneous people, very much like lines
that form in cafeterias or at ticket
office windows. Usually nobody is
present whom you know or really
want to see. But when the unusual
occurs; when somebody from back
home falls in line at a congress-
mans door, he gets admitted to the
representative own private office.
Why? The congressman wants to
see him.
Representatives are elected and
sent to Washington to represent the
people back home. know several
of them and, all told. have known
a great many. Every one l ever
knew wanted sincerely to represent
them well. They were smart men
but there was not mind-reader in
the bunch. They couldn't sit in
Washington and have a very clear
idea what the electors expected Of
them.
The Right Approach
In a few words, the average con-
gresham gets plenty of advice Of
fered to him and very little of it
comes from the right place. In rare
instances when somebody writes or
wires him from back home the mes
sage represents one mans hasty,
perhaps empassioned, judgment. At
other times when messages come in
big punches they rialnly reflect a
frame-up-written by one man,
signed by many.
People who know how to walk In
crowded streets and build their
homes in layers, sometimes make
facetious references to Arkansas but
down here we are doing something
to help congress. Just before
Thanksgiving a group of sixty inn
portant men of Batesville and there
about held a meeting to consider
some national legislation Soon to be
considered by their representative.
At the end of the meeting they
mailed him their opinion accompa.
MED by list of persons present.
Not an Accident
The gathering was no kind o. a CO.
incidence. Somebody called the
meeting and made sure that it was
conducted in an orderly fashion. Ar
rangements were made to have
some impartial, expert opinion OF
hand TO answer questions, explain
technical terms if necessary anc
speed up deliberations. The matter
under discussion was something soor
to come up before the committee O

Selfishness blocks the common

Imperial Valley press., 1945-01-26

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. (UP) -
Donald NJ. Nelson has reported TO
President Roosevelt that China, with
the aid of American experts, has
now coordinated her economic war
effort for the first time" ana Is
throwing its weight into the JOB
of winning the war" the Whlte
House revealed today.
The former war production chiet,
now Mr.. Roosevelt's personal trouble
shooter in the Far East, gave MS
optimistic appraisal in a report
submitted to the White House on
December 20, covering the work In
China by his economic mission and
the military mission headed by Mai.
Gen. Patrick j. Hurley, now am
bassador to China.
SWING INTO JOB
Nelson said frankly that when he
first reached China last September,
he was disturbed by the relative
lack of constructive war effort" but
since that time, he added, the sit
uation has been largely corrected
and the Chinese government IS
beginning to swing solidly into the
lob of smashing Japan.
He pointed out that in his Nov
ember talk with Chinese leaders.
postwar questions were put aside
hy mutual agreement" Later in his
report, however, Nelson proposed
that this government aid China
after the war on a realistic and
sound business basis so that she
may begin to replace Japan as the
leading industrial nation of the
Orient
FRICTION LESSENED
Nelson foresaw "cnances of genu-
inc cooperation" between the Chin
ese national government of Gen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek and the
Chinese communists. Friction be
tween these two factions has pre-
vented employment of China's full
military strength against the jap
aneSe.
Nelson said that three things

NATIONAL SERVICE DRAWS
LABOR BROkDSlDE

Internationally labor is against any
form of national service, or the enforce
ment of the universal draft now, and it
would seem that Congress and the Presi-
dent as we'll begin looking for some other
means of reaching the pressing need, and
incidentally to find an out for them
selves, since it hardly is conceivable that
the President really expected acceptance
of his none-too-strong call for the draft
in his recent message to Congress
The words of the clerk reading the
plan were still echoing when the plan
was under fire from many directions,
with labor heads leading the din against
the proposal.
Both tn CIO and AT of L presidents
openly have branded the plan, not only
as impossible but as discriminating
against labor. President Green in an
open statement brushes the entire setup
aside and offers his own cure for the
present manpower shortage by bluntly
declaring that breaking of the little
steel formula" is the only way now.
1t is presumed Green means that men
will rush to fill in the gaps as soon as
they are guaranteed wage their union
will demand once the bars are down.
That sounds quite logical but, as
everybody knows, the formula has been
by-passed and scuttled here and there by
various subterfuges, and still we have
the manpower problem. Green and 9TH
ers insist that the volunteer system be
followed to the limit before giving
thought to universal draft of manpower.
There is limit to that plan simply
because it cannot be made compulsory
no one yet has devised method of en-
forced volunteering.
Again the little steel formula does not
reach the men in uniform nor to farm
workers Yet farm workers deferments
are being cancelled regardless of i'm
passioned calls for greater food produc-
tiOn.
1t may be that the administration will
yield to the MurrayGreen demands and
let down the wage bars. 1t would not be
the first surrender or backing down.
The national service pattern can't stand
many more patches, but it seems one more
must be stuck on.

WRITTEN IN HISTORY
(Riverside Daily Press

1--WE have stopped cold everything that
has been thrown at us from the north,
east, south, west" said the Christmas
edition of a little paper put out by one
of the encircled American outfits at
Bastogne. "How effectively this was
done will be written in history, not alone
in the history of our glorious units, but
in the history of the world"
Those are confident words, but they
are not conceited. They are the words
of men who knew what they had sui
fered. and they had accomplished by their
suffering. And as nearly as cne can pre-
dict, they are true.
It is doubtful that the Greeks at Ther-
mopvlae. the mobiles at Runnymede, the
farmers of Lexington, or the citizens ar
nv before the Bastille could have reallz-
ed the impact that one day in their lives
would have upon history.
But the men of Bastogne knew the
stakes for which they expended their
courage and their blood. They stopped
the enemy at a critical moment and did
it with an unflinching bravery which IS
in the highest tradition of great soldiers:
The thanks and glory they receive Will
be a meager recOmpense.

THE IVA IDEA"
New York Times)

New York Times)
The Tennessee Valley experiment" as
IVA Chairman David E. Lilienthal de-
scribes it in our Magazine today, has
now reached a stage where 1t has to be
regarded as a pattern for other river
valley developments. Its record sustans
the four claims which Mr.. Llllenthal
makes for it. IVA has achieved unlfled
engineering control of a river, and
through cooperation, not compulslon, a
unified economic and social growth Is
being brought about in the Valley of the
Tennessee.
In order to carry out its mandate, IVA
was compelled to supersede one private
enterprise-the production and sale OF
electric power-in its area. with thls
single exception there has been an IN.
crease, not decrease, in the volume OF
big and little private enterprise. On
farms and in factories the pioneer spirit
of self-relance has actually b e
strengthened by this governmental inter-
vention. Thirdly, IVA has shown that
government itself can be decentrallzed.
It's own roots are in the Valley, not IN
Washington. Fourthly, all this has been
one outside the scope of partisan politics
The result is that after eleven years IVA
has almost no enemies in its own terri.
tory. 1t is supported by chambers OF
commerce. by labor organizations, by
farmers organizations and by men OF
widely differing political views
The IVA pattern, as Mr.. Lilienthal
says, sis no cooky cutter" 1t could not
be laid down exactly in the Missouri, the
Columbus. or the Arkansas Valley. But
the main idea, of unified development, OF
governmental decentralization, OF reli-
ance on the energy and initiative OF the
people residing in an area, OF nonparti-
san cooperation for the common good,
can certainly be widely applied. There
is no reason why it should not be applied
in the Missouri Valley, for instance, de,
spite the wide difference in climatic and
other conditions between the Missouri and
the Tennessee. A new sort OF govern.
mental agency has been invented, one OF
which jefferson as we'll as Hamilton
could consistently approve. It has work
ed with brilliant success. Why not eX-
pand its use?

WAR HEROES LET OTHERS
TELL OF EXPERIENCES

Buddy, you tell it, we'll expresses the
attitude of the thousands of war heroes
as they come back from all battle fronts
and are asked to tell about their personal
exploits. And even at that they don't
like to stand around and listen to their
buddies' recitals.
These men have learned to fight and
to win; they have learned to take the hard
blows, too. but they have not learned the
art of oratory, and of blowing their own
bugle.
Travellers in civilian ranks who meet
the men home from the Pacific after
months of everything horrible about war,
find the fighters ready to talk about
anything but their own acts Of heroism.
They speak freely, but without emotion
about war in general, but close up like
a clam when pressed for something con-
cerning their own parts. Nor do they
parade their ribbons and medals for all
to see.
But one thing the public soon learns
when touching elbows with these heroes
and that is their keen understanding OF
what has been going on at home-why
they have lived on short rations; fired
their last shell and so on; why the Mar
ines on Bougainville, facing death in the
jungles went without fresh fruits and
fresh eggs, while the civilian population
in nearby Australia was feasting on
these items-all from the good old USA.

Cancer Campaign
To Be Launched
In Imperial Valley

Cancer, one OF SocletyS greatest
remaining plaques, is accounting
for deaths to the number of 163, 1000
yearly, and one woman in every
five, one man in every eight, is now
paying the price of cancer with
their lives.
These startling figures were re-
vealed by Mrs. Queen Walker
Boardman, southern area ccm-
mander, Field Army American Cam
Ger Society, Inc, in an interview
with the Post-Press Thursday.
Mrs. Boardman, who is making
her annual swing through the six
southern counties of the southern
area division of California, stated
that so per cent of these lives could
be saved if men and women would
use the information already avail
able and overcome fear and delay.
Cancer, she said, can be cured if
discovered and treated scientifically
in its early stages.
The organization which Mrs.
Boardman represents is to conduct
tional campaign in an effcrt to
drive home to as many people as
possible the fact that cancer can
be arrested and in most cases cured.
DR.. H. l.. Randolph, with head
quarters in the Barbara Worth
Hotel, will head the educational
program and membership drive in
April, which is the month set aside
by an act of congress for the pre-
gram of the field army. H. II. Tyler
of the Bank of America will serve
as treasurer for 1945. #..
DR.. T. E. Bartholomew of Calex-
leo. president of the Imperial Coun-
ty Medical association, is chairman
of the executive committee for the
field army and has appointed the
following doctors to serve with him:
Drs. Miriam Hubbell and H. L.
Randolph of El Centre, DR.. c. E.
Randolph of Hcltville, and Drs.
Yellen and Parker of Brawley.
A number of ladies were in con-
ference with Mrs. Boardman and
expressed their interest and viii
lingness to assist the officers OF the
field army in Imperial county.
Among them were Mrs. Bert War
ner. president of the Brawley Wom-
ems Club; Mrs. Adolph Binder OF
CaleXico. president of the Fedora
ton of Womens Clubs; and from Ell

FOLLOWING THROUGH
by PEDRO rAGUnAR

Rafael Rodriguez, better known
to his many friends as Baby or
Felo, who died last Saturday at
his residence here, was one OF
the best ball players Key West
has ever produced. He played
every position on a club, but ex-
celled at pitching. He played for
10 years in Cuba as professional
with the Almendares Club, and
only recently his name was plac-
ed in the Hall of Fame of that Re-
public. He also was trail blaz-
er; he brought the first Cuban
stars to this country in 1904, and
toured the South and eastern
states.
: His five brothers were on the
club at the same time. Fernan-
ditto was the catcher, Rafael pitch
ed, Florentino Gonzalez played
first, Memo Benitez at second,
Chico at. third and Evaristo at
short. Chico and Antonio also
played different positions on the
club. He pitched against the Bat
tleship Maine ON her last day in
this harbor and won the game,
l to 0, and that night she sailed
for Havana harbor on her last
trip.
Rafael pitched here against the
Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore
Orioles, and other clubs that Wis
tied here. His brothers also were
acrobats, and he owned his own
circus and gave nightly perform
ances, and also on the ball field.
He was loved by all through his
pleasing personality on and off
the ball field. The height of his
career was from 1893 to 1908
when he retired from the game
to enter business.
