Imperial Valley probably will not
be affected by the War Production
order issued Monday providing for
exemption of electricity brownout'
in areas which receive electricity
from hydro-electric plants Ed H.
Aiken, chief electrical engineer OF
the Imperial Irrigation District, de-
elared Wednesday.
The electricity brownout" to &C
into nationwide effect February l
was instigated in an effort to con-
serve the nations supply of fuel oil,
and provides for the elimination or
reduction of all outdoor lighting not
necessary for public safety or for
conducting businesses.
L. A. Myers, assistant manager Of
the WPB for the state of Arizona,
was quoted by United Press as de-
claring I'VE do not have purely
hydro-electric situation in Arizona,
and pointed cut that the state re-
ceives some of its power from steam
generating plants which use fuel
oil.
Imperial Valley receives some of
its electric power from the Parker
dam in Arizona and also from dams
along the All-American canal.
Some CT the provisions of the

War Weapons
BY UNITED PRESS

Japanese prcpagandists today
claimed some new secret weapons
that should make Nazi Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels turn
green with envy.
A Batavia broadcast heard by
FEC quoted the Tokyo newspaper
Asahi as saying that the japanese
have developed:
l. A plane three times as large as
the B-29, capable of directing eX-
plosive-l laden pilotless planes and
unnamed torpedo boats in attacks
ever wide areas.
.. A mystery ray that could blow
up the city of Washington in an in
slant.
8. A radio-detection device able to
determine accurately the actions of
B-29s at Saipan, as we'll as the
movement of submarines far from
the coast.
4. Special chemicals which, spread
in the air, render useless the en-
gines CT enemy planes.
"It can te seen that the boastful
Yankees have no monopoly on E. . g.
important inventive genius,' Asahi
said.

These sinkings raised to 958 the
total of japanese ships sent to the
bottom by American submarines.
The maintenance of the high rate
of sinkings evidenced the advan-
tages derived from American seizure
of bases closer to the enemy's hcme-
