What This Army Needs
Is Mere Bad Shooting

GUNLocK, Utah, July 10. =
Sgt. Rex A. Leavitt. a Gunlock
cowboy before he entered the
Army, missed his target by zoo

and blew UP a Japanese ammuni-

Leavitt had been firing at 10
different ranges under directions
from his company commander,
and the latter ordered him TO re-
turn to his original target. The
Utahan misunderstood, but as the
commander was telephoning him
about the error, the dump explod-
ed. 1t kept exploding for three
hours.

TB Mobile x.Ray
Unit Ends Visit
On Wednesday

Pupils from ceven Imperial Valley
schools were X-rayed by the state
mobile X-ray unit at the Ell Centre
high school Monday and officials
estimated that a three-day record
might be set in the city during the
campaign here.
The unit, which has toured the
valley the past two weeks under the
sponsorship of the Imperial Valley
tuberculosis and Health association,
has X-rayed over 1000 pupils and
adults.
Monday the technicians of the
state association operating the mo-
bile unit "shot" 246 chest X-rays OF
pupils from McCabe, Eucalyptus,
Elm, Silsbee. Acacia and Imperial
grammar and high schools.
Tuesday three rural schools were
to be handled and then the job OF
processing the Ell Centre school pu-
pills will start. The rural schools are
Lantana, Westside and Seeley, OF
which A pupils we're completed by
1920.
Mrs. Malcolm Ryan said today
that adults wishing to be X-rayed
witt be handled almost Immediately
utbn arrival and that the health
association especially invites all
adults interested to obtain the bene-
fits CT the service.
The unit will be in operation 9-12
and 1-3 p. m. Wednesday, the last
day in the valley, before leaving for
San Diego. ...

Cafe Owners See
Modest Menus

partly seasonal, explained one OF
the restaurant managers: the recent
return of canned goods and meats to
the ration lists (and forthwith the
limited number of ration stamps is
sued), the acute shortage of some
meats and eggs, and the large num-
ber of service people and vegetable
workers that are now eating in local
restaurants, all are part of the prob
lem.
Some of the Ell Centro restaurants
are now not opening until IL a. M,
omitting breakfast from their menus
due to the difficulty in securing
breakfast foods and the high point
values on bacon, ham and other
meats. One of the larger establish
ments that stopped serving break
fast Monday is now considering
dropping lunch and not opening
their doors until p. m, serving only
dinners.
A meeting of the Ell Centre res
taurant managers and owners is in
the offing to be held within the next
few days to discuss the situation
and perhaps find some way to ease
the situation.
Imperial Valley press., 1945-01-16
A NEW THIRD PARTY

The communists are moving back to
become identified again as power polit-
ical machine. And, as could be expected,
leading the back trek is one Earl Browd-
er, paroled from the federal penitentiary
by President Roosevelt.
Under the banner of the Communist
Political Association, which succeeded
the Communist Party last May when
Browder announced the demise of the
party.
The occasion for the first public ayow
al as a red organization after rubbing
itself out for the duration of the fourth
term campaign, is in connection with the
appeal of Harry Bridges to the Supreme
Court of the United States in last move
to escape deportation as an undesirable
alien-in his case, communist. He was
ordered deported five years ago on the
allegation that he was communist. He
has carried his case to the nations high
est tribunal and now Browder is bring
ing the power and influence of his party
to help the west coast longshoreman
stay in America. Browder asks to be
an intervenor III the hearings, in other
words be co-defendant.
1t is not hard to figure that out. Bridg-
es as president of the union on the West
Coast drags just so much water, and no
more. But Browder and his organization,
the CPA or the Communist Party, the
name means nothing, are in the big count
numerically and politically. Browder
unblushingly claims tremendous politi-
cal swing and when Bridges goes before
the high court, if Browder succeeds in
his move, it would be the Communist
Party on trial.
The brief requesting the position of
intervenor was signed by Browder and
William z. Foster, both top notcher COM
munists, each having been candidate for
the presidency.
1t will be Browder's hope to convince
the court that the Bridges case should
be referred back to the justice depart
ment. In that event Bridges would es-
cape deportation, at least for the time
being and Browder, Foster, Hillman ct
al would be relieved of the charge that
they are trying to overthrow the govern
ment by force.
This late move should disillusion any
one of the idea that the Communist par
ty was buried for keeps last May with
the birth of the Communist Political AS
sociation, or that the danger of COM
munism no longer exists in this country.

STAIiN'S NOD TO LUBlN
CLOS Angeles Times)

(LoS Angeles 1lmeS)
Recognition by the Soviet government
of the Lublin Polish Committee as the
provisional government of Poland, long
expected, has at last happened That it
has happened n advance of the project
ed meeting between Stain, Churchill and
Roosevelt may be somewhat embarrass-
ing to Washington, which iterates its an
nouncement of last week that the Polish
povernment-in-eXile is still recognized by
the United States and which doubtless
expected that the Lublin Committee
would be a subject of negotiation at the
conference If there was such an expec-
tation, Stain has foreclosed it.
To say that this is merely "puppet
government which Stain himself has
created may turn out to be shallow
Judgment. The Lublin Committee must
be judged by what it does. In any event,
Stain makes plain by action that ne
meant what he said when he declared
Russia would insist on friendly gov
ernment in Poland; and when it is con-
sidered that if there is to be Poland,
Russian arms must re-create 1t, the m
sistence does not seem unreasonable. Inc
Polish government-in-eXile showed mex
cuSaDle nOSllllly W RuSSld ny ilS NdHi-
promoted charge that Russians had muir
dered thousands of Poles in 1910 in the
Katyn Forest, whereas the Russians sue
ceeded in proving pretty conclusively that
the massacre was organized by the Nazis
in 1941.
The assertion is being freely made that
Stain and Churchill at Tehran or else
where made deal by which Poland was
made an area of Russian, Greece or Brit
ish influence 1t is possible. but the evid-
ence for it is mere conjecture, while the
evidence that the British are, and have
been, acting in good faith in Greece seems
substantial The establishment of the
regency in Greece at Churchill's insist
ence and the naming of an anti-monarchi-
cal premier with Churchill's consent al
most, if they do not quite, dispose of the
deal charges
That the British may follow Stains
lead and recognize the Lublin Committee,
leaving Washington out on a limb, seems
not only possible but probable in view
of the impatience with the government
in-exile already openly expressed. The
President says he will discuss foreign
