Argentina Seen
As Stumbling
Block TO Pacts

WASHINGTON, March l. up
Representative Cecil r. King, tDD.
California, described the proposed
agreement among Amer ican ma
tions to refuse tc harbor war GRIM
inals as useless because Argentina
is not represented at the inter-
American conference at Mexico City
where the question is being dis
cussed.
1.-The very county we are worried
about on the subject-namely Ar
gentina-is not represented" he
told tie house. The agreement
without Argentina is useless. What
is to be dcEe with that country IL
she furnishes refuge to war GRIM
inals?"
King said he believed American
delegates to the conference were
taking "a veiy weak position on
the subject of war criminals in pro-
posing to define them in terms
which might exclude heads OF states
and economic war criminals.
IT do net want the American peo-
ple deluded into thinking that Hit
Ter and Hirohito will stand trial" he
said. land later disillusion them by
taking no punitive action. For the
sake of clarity and justice, any defi-
milton of war criminals should Spe-
officially indicate that chiefs OF
state are not tc be exempt"

WAR-SPARED GREEK TEMPLES
SCARED IN REVOLT

1t remained for the civil war in Greece
to account for damage to some of the
worlds most treasured temples of the
past ages Strangely enough these great
monuments to civilization escaped when
the Germans conquered Greece. But
that probably is due to the speed with
which the enemy overran the country.
Now that the rebellion is ended a sur
vey reveals another indictment of the
hurting of powerful missiles in mans
warfare.
The Acropolis shows dreadful marks
from machinegun and mortar fire, the
last named weapon being one used most
extensively in Athens And the western
foundation of the Parthenon came in for
mortar shelling. Mortar shells also found
the southwestern wing of the PrOphylaea
as did others the marble wall and en-
trance to this temple.
When men seeking to kill each other
use ancient ruins which should be pre-
served forever, as bulwarks, what can be
expected than ruin?

Seaman Carried
ProjecfiIe in
Body for Weeks

St.N FRANCISCO, March l. CUP)
For AZ days, Seaman &c Dewey j.
Dupre, 20, Opelouscus, Louisiana,
carried a live-fused .20-mm projec-
tile in what navy doctors politely
call a fleshy portion of his body,
the navy has disclosed.
This foreign object" whic h
Dupre absorbed aboard a battleship
during the aerial battle of Lingayen
gulf eff Luzon. was removed by a
staff surgeon at the naval receiving
hospital here.
Dup.e, according to the navy,
didn't know he had live projectile
in him until after he had been
treated for leg fracture and chest
injury.
Two weeks ago he complained
that 1T feels like something is in
side me, working down my body"
X-rays showed the projectile, ready
to explode at the slightest nudge.
1t had caused Dupre's shoulder
wound. then gradually woi ked down.
Captain G. w. Smith of the navy
medical corps called bomb disposal
experts into the pre-surgery con-
ference They told him that even
the touch of an operating instru-
ment might touch off an explosion.
Commander j. 1. Hall took a
chance on his own life and Dupre's.
He removed the tiny bomb and the
bomb experts took it out of the hos
pital-carefully but swiftly.

FLAGRANT SPENDING GOES
ON IN u. S. AGENCIES

The free-handed spending going on by
Federal agencies has become so fragrant
that even Congress, long lax in exercis-
ing its duty under the constitution in re-
quiring strict accountings and applying
regulations, is up in arms.
Recently the House Ways and Means
committee through which passes all rev.
enue and tax measures and which by its
very name holds supervisory preroga-
tives. pointed directly to the Executive
Department agencies and issued the ulti-
matum on unparalleled spending-'lt
must STOP
The committee was going over what is
termed deficiency spending. That Is, each
fiscal years, the budget or the approved
amounts for various departments, re-
quires some patching. Estimates fall
short, due to emergencies. Then the u
gress steps in and remedies the condition.
But the committee baked when the
amounts called for by these agencies
went out of bounds. The law requires, as
the committee members pointed out that
executive agencies must apportion spend
ing over full fiscal year, excepting en-
ergencies. Then the committee found
that these agencies were reporting over
obligations at tremendous pace and eX-
pected Congress to okeh the calls blindly.
Said the committee report and ultimat-
UNI: That sort of practice cannot be
continued, especially when Congress is
I'M continuous session. 1t must be stopped.
simultaneously comes a curt and illu-
minating report from the Joint Congress
sional Economy committee of which Sem
ator Byrd of Virginia is chairman on the
refusal of governmental bureaus to heed
repeated demands for curtailment in
employees as means of economy by re-
ducing the billions Federal payroll. In
stead of reductions, Byrd revealed in
creases in personnel and bureaus showing
lI41 departments, agencies and divisions,
each free to name the number of employ
es. An instance cited is in the list of war
agencies-23 of them with 364 divisions
or separate parts This report showed
high of 3,27S,291 civilian employees as of
last December.
1t is to be hoped that the House COM
mittee was not engaging in another furry
of words; that it means business in put
ting the brakes on this drainage on the
taxpayers income.
There has not been a single month or
year in the last twelve years when the
administration made even start in re-
ducing or holding down spending. On the
contrary, there has been a steady, con-
slant piling up of agencies whose only
gift seems to be able to build payrolls
and spend money.

Farming, poultry and live stock
projects at Camp Mitchell Con-
valescent hospital at Campo are .le-
ceiving encouragement, advice and
donations from the Imperial coun-
ty veterans advisory committee as
recommended by the recent eco
nomic conference in Ell Centro.
First of the donations for the
farming projects arranged for the
patients at the hospital comprised
a load of chickens which was COL
lected from Imperial county poul-
trymen by Den Cruickshank, chair
man of the poultry division OF the
advisory committee.
WORK TOGETHER
Committee members are working
in close cooperation with the camp
authorities who are engaged in pro-
viding amusement, recreation and
work projects for the men stationed
there because of illness contracted
in service overseas. Many OF the
patients are farmers or have be-
come interested in farming so the
medical authorities decided they
would enjoy farming along With
recreation provided them. :,
AS a start the committee asked
for half a dozen beef calves, dairy
calves, hogs, sheep and flocks OF
chickens, the live stock ard poultry
to be delivered when quarters are
made ready for them at the camp,
INVITED TO MEETS
The committee also invited the
Mitchell patients to attend any
farm meetings CT demonstrations,
or field t. .ips in the county If they
are interested.

ALLIED SUCCESSES

Hondon Daily MaiD
Events in Belgium have tended to OBJ
scure the. epic advances of the British
and Indian 14th army and the American
and Chinese troops in Burma.
For half year these Allied troops,
fighting some of the fiercest battles of
the war, in some of the most difficult
country in the world, and with every
thing against them, have recaptured al
most half of Burma.
A year ago the threat to India was
very real.
The japanese hoped to force the front
ier through Chittagong by an advance
along the Arakan coast, and also to enter
Assam through the wilds of Northern
Burma.
At the same time they attempted to cut
off all Allied communications with China
All three objects have failed disastrous
ly. The enemy has been flung back from
the roads into India.
Allied forces stand today on what is
almost a continuous front from the coast
of Burma to the borders of China.

Economist Sees
Many Spots in
Peacetime Jobs

LOS ANGELES, Mar. l. (UP)-
A peacetime economy of abundance
can be achieved by having in the
postwar period from seven to ten
million more productive jobs than
in 1910, Paul G.. Hoffman, chair
man of the Committee for Economic
Development, said late Wednesday.
These new peacetime jobs will re-
ouire hundreds of thousands OF
ideas, billions of risk capital, "and
a vast amount of courage, because
these joos can be created only
through an increase in our national
output of goots and services to q
level 80 to As per cent above that of
ls4O,' Hoffman told the Occidental
College Institute of Economics and
Finance.
To-day no one doubts Americas
capacity to produce. And no one
quarrels with the idea that we must
produce more to have more to ei-
vide. But there still remains the
urgent necessity of revising many
OF the policies of business, labor and
agriculture, and of changing many
of the laws of the land before we
can hope to achieve a peacetime
economy of abundance"

RECOGNIZED VETERANS
(Santa Ana Register)

kSanta ana keglSler1
We have been told of an honorably
discharged and thrice-decorated soldier
who. shortly after returning to civilian
life in his home town, put on his uniform
again. A friend met him on the street
and asked him if he had been called back
into the service.
NO" the soldier said, Il put my uni
form back on because l got so tired of
having people ask me why young man
my age wasn't in the Army
That young soldier was issued an hon
orable discharge pin when he left the SER
vice Presumably he wore it on the lapel
of his civilian suit. And presumably the
people who asked him why he wasn't in
uniform had no idea of what the pin sig
nified, if they saw it at all.
SO perhaps it is time that all of us
started taking notice. The discharge pin
is plastic, and the insignia is a gold
plated eagle within a circle, with the
wings extending beyond the circles edge.
These pins are given to all honorably
discharged men and women when they
leave the service. They should be worn by
the thousands who have already returned
to civilian life, and by the millions who
will follow them. And they ought to be
recognized by all who see them. They are
proud distinctions, and they should earn
their wearers special consideration and
freedom from hard looks and tiresome

 Cpl. John Medeiros was another wheel named. Jacks qualities first received signal recognition here abouts when he was decorated "for heroism at Bradley Field 4 August 1944". Up to the hospital Johnnie is a busy beaver going hither and yon, spreading largess with an un- inhibited hand. A linquist, at home in many romance languages, Johns forte is the pathological genesis of the Latin tongues.
 T/Sgt. Davie Herman, the Big Wheel, is a man from the old school. Dave acquired that stem torian voice from challenging the waves at Atlantic City la Demos themes. The Herman family motto is the Baconian "omnia scientia est mea provincial, and Dave is certainly keeping up the lineal tradition. You can see him nightly lifting those heavy volumes down from the five foot shelf. But withal our subject wears his mantle of erudition most modestly. Don't, however, get into a discussion on military history with the boy or you'll bite the dust sure as my names Carson. q smoke cigars, Dave.) (Ed. Note: And any given amount thereof.)
 Cpl. John Bellanti, the Milwau- kee Mail Merchant, was the wheel most mentioned in IF" Squadron. Seems as though Johnnie just likes going about doing little unobtru- sive things for his friends in arms. Jacks secret passion is poetry, lots of it, and the best. Acquired a predilection for Dante's immortal verse at an early age, and often interprets Browning to his circle of fellow devotees. "Grow old along with me--the best is yet to be"-the choicest of Ben Ezra's profound insights are daily de- lectation to his myriad of friends.
 Oh, but we have more wheels yet to be delineated, but time and space do not permit their being thumb-nailed here and now. But Carson will bring them to you, as Carl with his seer's vision vibrates to the overtones of the spirit. (Ed. Note: Napoleon, Josephine waits without.)
