RACE HORSE SHIPPING

(Redlands Facts
Shipping of race horses was banned
last week after these things had hap
pened in the past two weeks:
Combat soldiers. homeward bound
from the battle of Europe, had crossed
the country in day coaches for lack. of
Pullmans.
Sleeping cars were banned on runs Of
less than 451 miles.
Embargoes were placed periodically
on the shipment of food with some loss
Of perishabes.
In restricting railroad traffic to meet
the contingencies of radeployment of our
armies, the government apparently gives
priority to race horses over the human
needs for sleep and food.

LET'S GET READY
FOR COUNTY FAIR

Heartening is the latest word concern
ing the state and county fairs in Cali
fOrnia for next year. The Board of Di
rectors of the State Agricultural Society
are advising all county boards of super
visors and fair executives to start plan
ming for 1916 fairs
While there is no definite assurance
tht war conditions will permit general
RESUMPTION Of all exhibits, the war news
itself is most encouraging. No doubt the
state society has quite conclusive ideas
about the end of the war and the lifting
of travel and other bans that have existed
since Pearl Harbor.
Success of the Imperial County fair
and indeed, all county fairs, depends
largely upon the activities of the Future
Farmers groups and Four-H clubs. This
means that preparations must start
months ahead Of the fair date and in I'M
periaI county this is of paramount i'm
pOrtance.
Likewise the state fair cannot succeed
without many and banner county fairs.
Exhibits of SSH products stem from the
various smaller groups and accumulate,
first at county exhibits and then for the
state show.
The Imperial county fair board is alert
to any definite signs Of removal OF Office
of Defense Transportation and other
wartime bans and is in position to
move swiftly and adequately once the
official green light is given.
In the meantime it is hoped construc-
ton materials will be freed sufficiently
to permit the Valley directors to put
speed to the plans for revamping the
county grounds. This program has been
IN contemplation for some time. but has
been made MUST because Of the near
apprOach of road building plan which
will tak2 strip of land and neceSSitate
moving and rcconstructng fair facilities.
In calling on county boards to get set
for fairs the state society statement says:
"The military situation is developing to
the point where directors of the State
Agris sultural Society are making nrovi-
sions Cor resumption Of the California
State Fair as soon as possihle.'
All Imperial county is 'on its toes
and there is full assurance that tho first
postwar fair will be a record-breaker.

MORE GUAYULE WASTE
Santa Monica Outlook

(Santa Monica Outlook
When the president of one of the lead
ing rubber companies protests against
proposed government program that
would require the planting of 100000
acres to guayulo and declares it would
saddle the country with "a costly and
exaggerated policy" his opinion may
we'll be considered authoritative
Already many millions of dollars have
been spent on this guayule project with
very limited results. The cost of pro-
ducing guayule rubber is so great that
the government has fixed the price at %
cents pound, while the anticipated cost
Of synthetic and natural rubber. after the
war, is II to Is cents per pound
1t requires four years for a guayule
plant to reach the stage wher1 rubber can
be produced from it. and then the prod
uct is inferior to other natural rubber
in many important respects.
When the war ends great supply of
natural rubber will be available from the
East Indies, and the synthetic output in
the United States will approximate a
million tons year This means a rubber
surplus, and it is certain to occur before
the 100000 acres of guavule which it is
proposed to plant now, will be available
The project is absurd and guaranteed
to waste millians of dollars

Of course there has to be some line

Sergt. Donate Is also well known
to Washingtonians for his work as
an orchestra conductor and COM
poser before the war. For some
time, Donate conducted the or
chestra in the Romany Room and
was pianist at the Mayflower Hotel,
the Capitol Theater and elsewhere.
He was once associated with the
Roxy in New York. While assisting
in the University's production of
Count Me In" Donate expressed
a desire to write the music for
future c. U. musical; with Likely
Story" came his opportunity.
The new musical marks a turn
in the University Theater's tradi-
ton. 1t is neither musical biog-
raphy" nor patriotic musical. In
stead, Brady and Donate have
composed fable with music" a
storybook story about an ordinary
American guy who builds better
mousetrap and, as in Ralph Waldo
Emerson's phrase, waits for the
world to beat a path to his door
The trouble comes from the fact
that Emerson knew nothing about

This is going to be about three
Army sergeants and the United
States mails and a new musical.
Now sergeants are seldom asso-
ciated with other things in life than
the Army. But couple of sergeants
in the Army of the United States
namely, Tech. Sergeant Leo Brady
and just plain Sergt. Sparty Donate
happen to be responsible for the
Catholic University Theater's sixth
original musical comedy, Likely
Story" which opens next Sunday
evening at the campus playhouse.
All of which makes a good story
likely.
AS for the third sergeant, hold on
minute.
Seems that Sergt. Brady, who be-
fore entering the Army was stu
dent playwright and actor at the
university, somehow found time in
between his military chores 10 turn
out the book and lyrics, and Sergt.
Donate. who worked on C. us pro-
duction of Count Me In" several
seasons ago, managed to compose
the musicSin the congenial at
mosphere of camp for German
POWs.
The chief obstacle confronting our
sergeants, however, was that of get
ting together. But Brady was in
Philadelphia engaged in recruiting
WACs. Donate had to keep an eye
on those Nazis at Camp Butner, N.
C. And Army furloughs are neither
frequent enough nor conveniently
arranged to suit the needs of mu-
steal comedy collaborators.
Brady Had Other Duty.
In addition to which, Brady was
concurrently occupied with recruit
ing one particular WAC-also a
Sergeant-to be his wife. Even when
he could leave Philadelphia, there
fore, there was natural reluctance
on his part to do so. not to mention
the inspiration provided the author
by the presence of sergeant No. 3.

Likely Story" became probably the
only musical to be put together by

Brady to Donate and from Donate
to Brady. There also were a few
special deliveries addressed to both
the boys from Director Father
Hartke in Washington. The fitting

script to music, of new songs for new
scenes, of new dialogue for new mu-

dovetailing and synchronizing of

except for one or two hurried pro-
duction conferences in Washington,
by letter. Mail call in Philadelphia
and Camp Butner has had more
than the usual significance.
But Uncle Sans mails came
through. So we'll, in fact, that the
show was finished and two of the
sergeants were able to get married
last month-with Brady taking
along a copy of the script on his
honeymoon for final revisions and
new lyric or two.

the big five have reached com- mon position. But they apparently include on the right of passage" of troops through a country, pro- vision for expulsion of a member of the new league, whether to seek big five veto over amendment of the charter and over nomination of a secretary general, whether agreements for provision of military contingents should be negotiated between states or between a state and the security council, whether the assembly should be considered competent to recommend revision of treaties, and how broad the field of discussion by the assembly should be.
 It is admitted now that all pros pect of an "early" June adjourn ment of the conference is gone. Nc one believes it possible to con- plete the work here before June 15 ane most delegates are thinking in terms of Tate" June.
 The big five still are agreed, over the objections of the little nations, that the Yalta voting formule should be placed without change in the charter of the world organiza- tion.
 The philosophy back of the Rus sian stand is the belief that the security council should be body of the new world organization to act to maintain international peace and security-and that the general as- sembly should be the public forum Tor discussion and for appealing to world opinion.

 Apart from MT. Truman'S recom- mendation to prevent the expendi- ture of funds already appropriated, congress is undertaking to reduce sums proposed for appropriation in the next fiscal year The house ap- propriations committee last week whacked nearly s11200O,0OO from an appropriation bill to supply 19 war agencies. The cost still is large S770, 1000 OOO.
 But in recommending the appro- priations to the house the commit tee warned all concerned that there would be greater cuts next ear and ultimate abolition of the various war babies at the earliest possible mo- ment.
 In the 1914 fiscal year the govern ment spent 3,743 100000. MT. Roosevelt estimated last January that in the 1946 fiscal year We would spend $82,5o0,0o0,OOo. It is expected that the Truman administration will be able to keep costs below that figure by various economies. In the first 100 per cent Truman budget for the l947 fiscal year spending may be expected to shrink many more billions of dollars.

in actual practice will never be used.
 For example, the fact that 30 policeman are eligible to retire un- der a pension law does not mean that they will in fact retire. Yet the actuary says that we must assume that they will and demands that we provide reserves against such a contingency.
 T see no reason why the city cannot contribute the amount of current liabilities-roughly $3G00O0 and keep the benefits which l have described. We can begin inn mediately next year to set up the maximu manual payment which will be necessary and thus prepare for the increased pension load which We know is ahead"
 Cloaking the issue is the attempt by the legislative committee to secretly and hastily push the bill through last Thursday without re- Veallng it's contents to the press and public. This in effect stamped the bill as 'one to be Watched' Sources state that the political element seeped into it last week and Re- publican pressure was behind the move to push it through in haste thus embarrassing the local ad- miniStration.
