NAACP membership chairman, an
that Oliver Ampey has
been the first solicitor to report in
the 1945 membership drive, bring
ing in ten memberships of people

Minneapolis branch before.
Chivers also said:
Recognition was given the
NAACP when Walter White and
DIR. W. E. B. Dubois were ap-
pointed as delegates to the World
Security Conference at San Fran
cisco. The NAACP has fought for
years for democracy, and a peace
that will include equality for all
races. The NAACP has recognized
intelligent leadership of which all
people can be proud. Join the
NAACP today. The yearly mem
bership fee is only $1.O0. Your
dollar will aid men like Walter
White and Dubois to more ably
represent you and your problems. "
Jane Banks is secretary of the
drive this year. Solicitors are:

4-F Registrants
Leaving Jobs
To Be nducted

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10. (UP)-
All occupationally deferred AZ
draft registrants in California who
left their employment without prior
approval of their local boards will
be forwarded for induction during
February, Col. Kenneth H. Leitch,
state director of selective service an
nounced Wednesday.
Registrants in this category will
DC classified under the war depart
ment's new policies of lowered army
physical standards, Leitch said.
Tuesday Leitch announced that
more than 80 per cent of the 143 1000
California men now in draft class
4-F would be brought under the
same work or fight" program as
physically fit men.
He ordered local boards to re-
classify all men without obvious
physical defects into one OF three
new classes: "a CD for men en-
ployed in support of the national
health, safety or interest; 2-B CD
for men in war production and &c
CD for men in agriculture. Once
the men are reclassified they will
be subject to immediate induction
if they change jobs without local
board permission, he said.

Library Shortens
OPENING Periods

Lack of trained librarians has
caused the closing of the Ell Centre
Public Library on Friday nights and
Saturday afternoon. The new hours
go into effect this week, Mrs. Agnes
Bigelow, librarian, has announced.
The library will close at 6 p. m.
Fridays instead of 9 and at p. m.
on Saturdays instead of 6. After
surveying the peak hours and the
low ones, these days were shortened
because they were the quietest, Mrs.
Bigelow said.
1.-The library has been kept open
on Saturday afternoons for children
and teachers mainly" she said, but
the juvenile department is deserted
then and few teachers come in"
There are only two librarians at
present, Mrs. Bigelow and Mrs. Vir-
ginia Fox, and it is necessary for
one of them to be present all the
time in keeping with requirements
of the national librarians associa-
ton.
1.-The large circulation of the Ell
Centro library-betWeen $500 and
1000 books every month-keeps the
librarians busy with the public dur
ing nearly all of the open hours,
which means the office work and
cataloguing must be done later, >
Mrs. Bigelow said, 80 we hope our
many friends will understand and
not be inconvenienced by the shorter
hours.

On Peace Pacts

Continued from Page II
the major Allies cannot Immediately
sign a hare and fast treaty to use
Allied force if necessary to keep
Germany and Japan demilitarized
after this war.
Ferguson called on the senate to
reaffirm the principles of the At
lantic charter and said that a uni
fled foreign policy is imperative for
the moulding of an enduring peace.
Vandenberg said he would favor
immediate formation of a United
Nations security organization, such
as contemplated in the Dumbarton
Oaks tentative agreement. provided
that 1t specifically authorized ulti-
mate review of alleged injusticeS
III the eventual peace terms.
COULD SEE WAY
Such a reservation, he said, would
"at least partially nullify the argu-
ment that We are asked to put
blank-check warrant behind a fu-
ture status quo which Is unknown
to us and which we might be un-
willing to defend"
In any event, Vandenberg sale,
there must be the utmost cancor in
all foreign relations, not only be-
tween the Roosevelt administration
and the American people but among
all the Allies.
Ferguson said he hoped other SEN
atorS would join him in support of
a five point resolution.

n Meet Death
In Plane Crash

Continued from Page II
the big Douglas airliner plowed into
the hillside on a direct line for the
desert landing field 60 miles away.
All aboard apparently died in
stantly .as the fully loaded plane
struck and flared into flame.
Bound from New York after a
stop at Phoenix, the ariliner was
IS minutes late when it circled the
field the first time.
For more than six hours silence
hung over its fate. Then lifting fog
showed the wreckage high in the
foothills, plainly visible from the
airport control tower.
HITS IN CANYON
The silver ship struck on the east
side OF small canyon running into
the hills. The two motors buried
themselves and the cabin split open
and exploded. Most of the metal
was burned away or melted down,
exposing the bodies jumbled with
in.
The largest piece left intact was
the left wing. apparently the last
to strike. The right appeared to
have hit first and thrown the fuse
lage into the canyon wall.
Two mail bags were thrown clear
and were uncharred just outside the
great black ring surrounding the
airliner.
A landing flare kept under the
tail flashed off on impact, burning
hole in the ground and entirely
consuming portion of the ship.

There the Germans were attacking
necessarily with tanks and infantry
against a thin wall of Russian guns
and armor drawn up within Is miles
of the capital.
At several points the Germans
succeeded in preaching the Red ar
my lines, but Moscow said all the
penetrating forces were rounded up
and destroyed.
simultaneously, another strong
German armored force swung wide
around the Russian left flank be-
tween the Bakony and Vertes noun
tainS and hooked in below BicSke,
Is miles west of Budapest. Repeated
thrusss by maSSeo tank formations
were beaten off and the NaZis
switched to infiltration tactics with
equally small success.
1900 NAZIS KILLED
The Soviet communique said at
least 1850 Germans were killed in
that sector yesterday and that doz-
ems of enemy tanks were destroyed,
running the Nazis' armorec' losses
since the start of the nine-day Of
fensive to more than 500 tanks.
Outnumbered on the direct APP
proaches to Budapest, the SovietS'
main hope of beating back the Ger
man relief army appeared to rest
with the thanking column north of
the Danube. That force Tuesday
advanced four miles or more on
nine-mile front to capture the
river town of la, 3la miles east of
Komarno.
More than 1000 Germans were
captured and hundreds of others
were killed in that sector. but the
Nazis were reported rushing reserves
to hold Komarno, the funnel through
which their armor and infantry COL
umns were moving down on Buda-
pest from the Austrian border.
Inside Budapest, the Russians
stcrmed and captured another $50
city blocks Tuesday and Berlin
acknowledged the loss of the big
Industrial suburb of Kispest, in the
southeastern end of the capital.
The Soviet drive, which still was
meeting fanatical resistance, over
ran the city race track in Pes,
which the Germans had been using
as landing field for their supply

DESCRIBES CONDITIONS
ODay Sard tnat Two of the youths

cold air could be blown, were Ne
groes and one was white. One Ne

The three youths, he said, were

OF the cell. 1c-Io, he said, had been
held in the cell for three days and
one for one day and they had not
been informed how much longer
they would be held there.
The youths were put on an extra
light diet, ODay said, which ap-
parently consisted only of veget-
ables and bread, although one youth
said he had had portion of spa
