JUSTICE TO AN ALLY

(Christian Science Monitor)
1t is appropriate that reports Of the
part played by Indian soldiers in the
current Allied successes in Burma should
coincide with renewed efforts by Presi
dent Roosevelt and members of Congress
to obtain passage Of legislation which
would allow East Indians to enter the
United States and become citizens. There
always has been considerable doubt rs
to the justice Of the law excluding In
dian nationals from American shores.
Now it actually is incongruous in view
eff the acceptance of India as an import
ant ally.
India's troops, the largest volunteer
army Of any country, have fought on sew
eral fronts. Her navy, 20 times as strong
as at the outset Of the war, has been in
action all over the Seven Seas. Her fac
tories have been producing in quantity
more than As, 900 different classes of arti-
cles required by the Allied armies. And
her air force, risen from 200 to 27 600, has
Just had bestowed on it the title of Royal
Indian Air Force in honor Of its achieve
mentS.
Surely, the United States should re-
move the stigma it has placed on this
ally, at least to the extent of admitting
70 East Indians year, which would be
about the number permitted under the
quota system.

VITAL AMENDMENTS
(San Diego UniOn)

tSan Diego Um0n)
1t has been repeatedly stressed by op-
ponents Of the Mexican water treaty as
drawn shat its worst feature is that Civ
ing the boundary commission autocratc
and unlimited authority over the Colo
rado and collateral projects. As the doc
ument stands, this commission of one man
from the United States and one man from
Mexico can bypass congress and even
the supreme court in carrying out its
policies. Even the question of the amount
of water allocated to Mexico is secondary
to this question Of autocratic control.
In this connection it is encouraging to
learn that the California senators have
proposed amendments which would great
ly restrict the authority of the boundary
commission, enlarge its membership to
three from each nation, restrict its pow
ers to settle disputes.
Nothing in these amendments could
ieopardize the legitimate interests OF
either nation, but they would be vital
safeguard to the huge investments of the
southwest and the future of this area.

Jag, Force FEees
! 10 Luz0Il Hills

MANILA, March "a. (UP)-Jap-
ane5e troops were reported fleeing
into the western Luzon hills Sat
urday before American 33rd Divis-
ion forces which overran Naguilian
anG its airfield and thrust to less
than 10 miles from the enemy
stronghold of BaguiO.
Naguilian, which had a pre-war
population of 15000, was taken
against only minor resistance. It's
airfield provided another base for
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Dombers
which sank or damaged II more
japanese. ships, including two de-
stroyers and q minesWeeper, in new
attacks through the China Sea.
The Japanese had blown up the
250-yard bridge across the Naguilian
river and the American troops were
forced to wade across the river to
reach the town.
A rolling artillery barrage blasted
a path for the advancing troops
and they met little opposition in
pushing into Naguilian Wednesday.

CLEANUP CALL SOUNDS
FOR ALL Ell CENTRANS

In short time, under direction OF the
public works department and the fire
department, a spring cleanup is sched-
uled for all FL Centro There are two
prime obiectiveS-One to remove all fire
hazards in the way of accumulated rub
bish and the second, equally rs important,
identification. Incidentally better sani-
tary conditions may be mentioned.
1t will be recalled that there was con-
siderable Of drawback year ago when
this spring move was inaugurated At
that time transportation was nil and am
bilious citizens learned that it was up TO
them to get the rubbish hauled, once it
was piled up. This time that difficulty
has been overcome and the city stands
ready TO truck everything away One re-
quest is made to citizens and that is per-
tinent-make complete Job of cleaning
up and piling the rubbish in a single day.
In other words. do it all on a Monday or
a Tuesday or any other Of the days from
April l through April s.
Trees and limbs, snrubbery will be
hauled away and this gives everyone Op-
portunity to trim out dead limbs and
pretty up their trees and shrubs. In this
connection, attention is directed to trees
close to street corners where low hanging
boughs obstruct views for auto drivers
approaching intersections.
The city authorities are going all-out
to make this venture a complete success.
Let's do our part as individuals.

iMPERIAL COUNTY MEN
MAKE MILITARY HISTORY

In every branch of the military ser
vice, in combat duty or in other activ
tiles, the men from Imperial county are
making names for themselves for cOur-
age, ability and determination in this
devastating war. Many of them already
have their names on the honor rOll-t0o
many of them, but it counts away some
of the tragedy to leave behind the knowl
edge that they went west with honor.
Many have received hard won medals.
All would be like honored under similar
calls in line of duty. Chance governs
fighting men to a great degree. To some
the opportunity to be on the front may
come; for others, another duty holds.
Each in his turn is hOnoring his country,
his people and his self.
When the last scroll shall have been
engraved, the fighting men from Imperial
county will have their names inscribed
along with the millions of others. And
many will be at the top.
We shall do we'll ever to hold their
service close.

HUSBAND OR pO0CH?

lRiVerside Daily PfeSs)
Many women would be willing to leave
their husbands outside, but not their
dogs. This argument, advanced before
the Georgia senate, caused that body to
pass a bill barring dogs, cats or other pets
from hotel rooms and tourist camps.
Amendments naming specifically ele-
plants, giraffes and turtles, and defining
cats as tom cats, pussy cats, wild cats,
and just plain prowling cats" were ruled
out of order.
Hotels will be relieved by the passage
of this law. While now tenants are easy
to get, in normal times inns are at the
mercy of unreasonable lodgers; and
doubtless yapping dogs have been intro
duced into hotel bedrooms. Now the
Georgia innkeepers can say, eyes, bring
your husband in. Fido no."

SAN FRANCISCO, March "a
(UP)-The navy's newest aerial
weapon-a rocket-carrying fighter
bomber-was unleashed for the first
time when carrier task force SO
pounded Tokyo March 16 and II, it
was disclosed Saturday.
1t. Louis A. Menard, %, Palm

the enemy capital, said that the
fighter-bombers were more than a
match for anything the Japanese
sent up.
The fighter-bcmber, Mcguire eZ-
claimed, is simply the F6F Hellcat

Flax Growers
Lag in Move
For Payments

Flax acreage goals on individual
farms now are being determined by
the Imperial County Agricultural
Conservation committee, it was an
nounced Saturday by Rudolp Miller,
county secretary. AS previously an
nounced. congress has voted $30,OO0,-
0C0 for flax incentive payments.
These payments, Miller said. amount
to S5 per acre of flax planted for
seed and oil purposes.
Farmers in this county, however,
are responing to the sign-up, Miller
said, and in view of the fact that
May l is the closing date for sign
ing the farm plan, county flax grow
ers are urged to send in their re-
ports to the office of the associa-
ton, $40 Main street, without delay.
Miller declared that no payment
can be made unless the farm plan
is signed. In cases where farmers
find it impossible to call at the
office, they can notify the office an
office, they can notify the office and
he will communicate with ithem,

ANOTHER REBUFF

For the second time in few weeks
the United States senate has exercised its
prerogative and refused to confirm a
presidential appointee. As.freely predict
ed from the moment he was selected by
the President. Aubrey Williams has been
rejected as director of the rural electrifi-
cation administration.
While there were eXtraneous reasons
offered anG debated, his rejection was
based on the plain, bare fact that he is
not a business administrator and never
has had that capacity. The REA is q
big business, Williams only claim to bus
mess acumen is his experience in WRA
and the youth administration, both de-
funct and both requiring only the gift
of spending Williams had his initial
training spending under Harry Hopkins,
past master in the art Of giving away tax
payers money.
Henry Wallace lacked business eXper-
ience enough to become the worlds great
est lender and the senate believed that
If the government insists on staying in
business and in lending, then the Presi-
dent should be- alert to name men fully
qualified for their direction and not
dreamers or political proteges.
In both rebuffs, Wallace and Williams,
the senate has taken proper action.

Pioneers In Shotoliners
Girl Flight Orderlies Will Serve As

Box lunches like those now used

The girls will also have to be

above 10000 feet-a sign to the
