STILL GOING STRONG
IN WASTEFUL BLUNDERS

Blundering by the bureau-bound ad-
mlnlstration at Washington goes on un-
abated. And the public still is being hood
wlnked and still is the same old sucker.
It's the same old New Deal going full
blast.
This time, but for the eagle eyes of
lumber dealers who are saving every foot
of lumber possible to exc out their much
curtailed stocks for super-necessary con-
struction, the blunder we'll might have
passed unnoticed.
An unCbtrusive notice issued by the
United States Treasury procurement di-
vision, office of surplus property, was the
clue. 1t advised the public that 2,400,000
troughs would go on sale to the highest
bidders.
And SO these troughs are on sale in San
Francisco. What they were made for and
what they may be used for if and when
purchased are left for anybody to guess.
But there is no guesswork about what
it cost in precious lumber to turn them
out. In the first place. 4,774,6S0 feet of
top grade lumber cut from Ponderosa
Sugar pine in California went to New
York by rail- 1t required about 100 freight
cars for the shipment. The troughs were
put together somewhere in the Empire
Sldle anu lHeil SHlppeu udCh W odn L ar
cisco, using at least another 100 freight
cars for the return trip.
In the meantime Ell Centro and every
other city in California were begging for
bit of lumber to speed housing facility
for war workers and military personnel
and their families.
If all the lumber had been put into
one trough the deal might be explained.
It we'll could be used for the New Deal
patronage trough for the thousands of
useless Federal employees enjoying top
places at top salaries.
However, it is recalled that countless
bunders of this sort, and even much
greater, were known last fall when the
New Deal got permission to keep on with
just such tricks.

for several months. it was learned
a program for preventing possible
outbreak of anti-union activity by
some representative of management
on the one hand and drive to the
left by some Representatives of la
Dor on the other.
Among those who have been work
ing on the program are CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray, President Trio

of Commerce, AFL President Will

One goal of the negotiators is TO
restore to labor-industry relations
freedom from wartime government
restrictions. All of the leaders con-

must be maintained.

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE MOVES
FOR CONSTITUTIONAL MEET

SACRAMENTO, March %. CUP)-
The assembly elections and reap
portionment committee "Wednesday
recommended for passage bill pro-
viding for a state convention to
draw up a new California constitu-
tion.
Assemblyman Alfred w. Robert
son, GD.,) Santa Barbara, author OF
the measure, said the bill would
carry out the provision of a ballot
proposition adopted by the people in
1943. Each of the 80 assembly dis
tricts would send one delegate to
the convention. The new constl-
tuition would be submitted to the
voters in 1913.
Robertson contended the present
constitution is "outmoded'. He
pointed out that only 10 per cent OF
state expenditures are controlled by
the legislature.

Highest Tribunal
Hears Arizona
Lons.Irain Case

WASHINGTON, March %. (UP)-
The supreme court late Tuesday
heard arguments on an Arizona law
limiting the size of trains passing
through the state.
Harold M Mclaughlin, Cleveland
attorney for Arizona, urged the
tribunal to hold the law valid as a
safety measure designed to protect
train passengers and employees traV-
cling through the state.
McLaughlin's arguments followed
charges by Burton Mason, Southern
Pacific railroad attorney, that the
train limit law tends to increase
hazards by increasing the number
of trains and bears no reasonable
relation to health or safety"
The law. passed in 1912, limits
trains travelling through Arizona to
IA passenger or 70 freight cars.
The railroad is challenging the
statute on an appeal from an Ari-
zona supreme court decision holding
the law constitutional. Arizona
officials, who began the suit, were
awarded $500 judgment against
Southern Pacific for violations OF
both passenger and freight car re-
quirements.
The railroad contended Arizona S
short train rules have reduced the
efficiency and economy Of operations
as compared to other territories
where long train units are used TO
advantage.
Mclaughlin asserted that the de-
lay in the makeup of trains at
Yuma Arizona, and other points was
negligible and had produced no
substantial interference with the
flow Of commerce through the stats.
Ee said that local factors in Arizona
required short-eized trains for safety
because of severe curves, grades and
heavy traffic.

UNCLE SANS BABIES
(Riverside Daily Press)

The babies are getting break, war or
no war Indeed, they may be getting
better break in this topsy-turvy war time
than their little predecessors did before
the war Uncle Sam has his eye on them
DR.. Martha NJ Elliott, associate chief
of the Children's Bureau at Washington,
says that 100000 children and their
mothers have been cared for during this
war, under the emergency maternity and
infant care program. Half a million
babies have been born with help from
this program, and 100000 more are lined
up and on their way.
It is pleasant to realize that the same
government which has the unpleasant job
of sending fathers to war has also the
satisfaction of helping to look after the
children of these fathers. 1t is service
for which no American is likely to grudge
the cost.

NEW HEALTH BILL

Meantime, new health insurance
proposal came before the assembly.
Ralph A. Beal, CD, Los Angeles,
introduced bill which would allow
all persons covered by unemploy-
ment insurance to pay a one per
cent payroll tax and become eligi-
BILE for a maximum of $500 worth of
hospital and doctors service. All
employers in the unemployment in
surance system would pay an addi-
tional one per cent payroll tax.
The system would become effective
only on adoption of an accompany
ing constitutional amendment by
vote of the people. Beal called the
proposal a compromise and claimed
wide support in the legislature for it.

Child Care Vote

SACRAMENTO, March %. (UP)
The assembly has confirmed pas
sage of a bill continuing for two
years the child care center program
opened in 1943. A motion to recon-
slider previous passage was defeated
43 to 80, and the bill sent to the
senate.
Objections to the bill centered on
new provision which would allow
cities and counties to contribute to
the support of the centers which
were established to care for the
children of working mothers. Only
federal contributions can be ac-
cepted under present law.
M. Philip Davis (RD Los Angeles,
said the provision would open the
"floodgates' for local expenditures.
Augustus F. Hawkins Cd Los An
geles, author of the bill, denied this
saying the local contributions were
optional.
Several hundred of the centers
are being operated by school dis
trictS in the state.

REBUILDING SOLDIERS
(Christian Science Monitor)

''Graduation" recently of $50 dis
charged soldiers from the Fort Slocum,
New York, Rehabilitation Center brings
to public attention very worthwhile but
little-publicized Army program. The new
military system, set up early in World
War II, under which prisoner rehabilita-
ton centers were established in each of
the service commands in the United
States, has met with marked success.
Soldiers sentenced to confinement or
dishonorable discharge for crimes rang
ing from desertion to embezzlement often
are made fit for regular Army duty in
four to six months. Under former sys-
tems such soldiers generally were in mil
itary prisons for years, and frequently
returned to civilian life unregenerated
and, in disgrace Now, if the formerly
wayward serviceman makes the grade
and hundreds are making it-he is en-
titled to an honorable discharge and vet
erans' benefits.
1t is not surprising that there should
be some misfits among the millions OF
men it takes to build up an army. But
that the Army should take the time and
patience to rebuild such men is most
heartening.

WAR PICTURE IN EUROPE
CHANGES RAPIDLY

The way the three armies are ripping
into central Germany makes the present
moment ancient history as the clock ticks
off another sixty seconds, and it all spells
doom for the Nazis.
That there is a general collapse OF the
whole defensive plan and what is OF
greater moment. collapse of the fighting
units, there can be no doubt A few weeks
ago the strategy Of Allied leaders never
would have permitted an unprotected
arn1ored spearhead such as General Pat
ton is commanding to get go miles or hall
that distance from the main force. This
could not have happened even few days
after the fall of Cologne.
The most casual of observers can see
only the colossal war machinery of Hitler
plain worn out and disintegrating. No
one might risk saying 1T is matter OF
days" now till the end, or weeks. Tor that
matter. But the end is near. With the
powerful Russ army only as Tar from
Berlin as Ell Centre is from Jacumba and
Pattons army a distance from Berlin
equal to that between Ell Centre and San
Bernardino and escape practically cur OH
to the south German mountains, victory
day can not be far off. -,
Bets are being laid that Hitler Will not
sign the surrender message. And so the
war will not end until he and his murder
ous mariners are in custody.

Do you feel headachy and upset due to

and happy again your food must be
digested properly.
Each day, Nature must produce about
two pints of vital digestive juice to
help digest your food. II Nature fails,
your food may remain undigested-
leaving you headacky and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the foY
of this digestive juice. Carriers Little
Liver Pills increase this flow quickly
often in as little as 80 minutes. And,
you're on the road to feeling better.
