Entrance OF Valley National Bank
Into Nogales Big Boost For City

Entrance of the Valley National Bank into No
gales is big boost for this community.
An institution the size Of the Valley National,
which has assets of $179,O000O0 and 21 banks in
Arizona, would not come here if they were not con-
vinced Nogales has great future.
Announcement of the sale of the First National
Bank by Writ G. Bowman to the Valley National was
first published by the Nogales international last
Friday. The next day, Walter Bimson of Phoenix,
president Of the Valley National issued the following
statement in Phoenix:
1--WE feel there is bright future for Nogales
That city can become an ever increasingly i'm
portant port of entry for goods from northern
Mexico and the West Coast of Mexico to the
United States.
'"The cattle and range prospects along the
border are bright Add to that the extremely
bright future for the city itself and one can easily
see why the Valley National was interested in
acquiring the First National Bank
Bimson emphasized that with acquisition of the
Nogaes bank his firm would be able to offer to the
people Of this city, to ranchers along the border and
to producers and those interested in North Mexico all
the advantages offered by the Valley Nationals home
office in Phoenix to residents of Arzonas capital city
The Valley National will play an important and
constructive part in the business and financial affairs
Of this community has the First National for the
past AZ years.

It must be remembered that the
flow of discharges will be dependent
upon the facilities of separation
centers to absorb the increasing
number of eligible men. Colonel G.
M. Bates, commanding officer, an
nounced that Luke Field will do
everything possible to push the men
through efficiently and rapidly.
Classification personnel are bur-
led under the details of the new
discharges. Officers and enlisted
men are requested not to visit the
personnel or classification depart
ments to inquire about their i'm
pending discharge.
AS soon as screening is accom-
plished, each individual will be
called to headquarters for an inter-
view. Officers should be prepared
to furnish a copy of his active duty
orders.
Permission of higher headquarters
must be obtained from each station
before men are sent to separation
centers. The headquarters include
the Ninth Service Command and
service command headquarters in
area where individual separation
center is located. This is necessary
to coordinate transportation and
arrival at separation center by
quotas, preventing jamming at
these points.

Union Welfare Fund
Argued Before WLB

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2-The New
York Newspaper Deliverers' Union
declared yesterday an employees well
fare fund was the responsibility OF
the publishing industry, but pub
fishers contended welfare problems
ARE predominantly the responsible
ity of the Nation"
These opposing viewpoints were
contained in briefs submitted to
the War Labor Boards Daily News
paper Commission by counsel for
the unaffiliated Newspaper and Mai
Deliverers' Union and for the Pub
fishers Association of New York
City.
The commission today will hear
oral arguments on issues involved in
the strike of deliverymen that tied
up circulation of major New York
newspapers last month. Establish
ment of the employees welfare fund
through a publishers contribution
of per cent of the deliverers' pay
rolls was a principal union demand
The union brief asserted the ar
duous and hazardous nature" of the
deliverymen' work was self-evident
and sufficient proof could be found
in the very high rates on workmen s
compensation premiums"
The publishers brief based reiec-
ton of the demand for the welfare
fund on a contention that the prob
lens of disqualification, life insur-
ance, health insurance, old-age
pensions and the like, are predom-
inantly the responsibility of the
Nation"

proposal advanced yesterday by
Senator Downey, Democrat, of CAL

tiations looking to the expansion of

mittee to consider his resolution
during the recess. The proposed
special committee would be drawn
in equal numbers from the Senate
Naval and Military Affairs Com
mitteeS.
The West Coast has been sug-
gested as desirable location for the

today in an effort to free Mrs.
Margaret Locke, 81. who was in
dicted Monday on charges of re-
ceiving money from women engaged
in prostitution, arranging for them
to engage In prostitution and pro-
curing.
Mrs. Locke, through her attorney
T. Emmett Mckenzie, filed a mo-
ton today in District Court asking
that United States Commissioner
Needham C. Turnage be ordered to
hold a hearing on a motion to dis
miss the warrant issued for her
arrest.
The motion points out that Mr..
Turnage said Tuesday at the wom-
ans preliminary hearing where the
motion to dismiss had been sched-
uled to be heard, that he had lost
jurisdiction because indictments
already had been returned.
The motion for dismissal asserts
the warrant for the womans arrest
was deficient" in that it did not
contain required legal probable
cause"
The charges in the indictment
against the woman allege offenses
committed before the time of her
arrest July l3 during the raid on

.AMG Admits Problem
In Needing Out Nazis
Ry the Associated Press.

RS the Associated Press.
HOESCHT, Germany, Aug. a.
German governmental agencies
have been 80 per cent purged OF
known Nazis, Allied military au-
thorities say, but they acknowledge
they are encountering difficulties in
wedding out party members and
suspects from many highly skilled
jobs.
Those still being retained, because
replacementS are hard to find, fall
largely in two categories, according
to one ranking military Official who
has made special survey. They
are technicians. such as are em-
ployed in power plants and other
utilities, and professional civil
servants who held their jobs be-
fore the Nazi regime. They we're
reported to be cooperating whole
heartedly with the Americans with
an eye to getting the pension which
ordinarily would fall to them.
This offlcial said no organized
attempt of Nazis to filtrate govern
mental agencies or key points had
been detected.
Every German holding a policy
making job has been carefully
screened by the Army Criminal In
vestigation Division and given
clean bill of health before being
allowed to issue any orders.
