CASABLANCA CONFERENCE
There is much history in the news these days. School
children of future generations will undoubtedly come to a
chapter in their history texts, entitled “Casablanca Conference’, and there will be written the full story of the dramatic.
secret, ten-day meeting of President Roosevelt and -Prime
Minister Churchill in a villa by the sea in French Morocco,
where the grand strategy of the final phase of World War II
was mapped and agreed upon by the. leaders of the United
States and Great Britain. Even teen-age youngsters, daydreaming about the opening of the trout season, and towheaded girls with no great reverence for historical dates and
occasions, will probably like that chapter in their history books.
For it was staged by two men with a_ spectacular flair for
showmanship as well as leadership, and it will still have the
pull of a great drama long after the years have yellowed it.
We who are living this chapter in history cannot know its
full significance until the curtain goes up for the final act, because military plans revealed to us now might also be revealed
to our enemies. Our present information is very sketchy.
Whether Stalin and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek participated in the conference, by radio telephone or cable; whether
representatives were there of Italy and Finland, seeking a separate peace for their unhappy countries; whether a decision
was reached to carry the war to Hitler on the continent and
whether bombing missions were determined upon which will
one day flatten Tokio and knock Japan out of the war—these
~ are still unpublished paces in the drama. . We do know that
President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill served notice that “unconditional surrender’ of the Axis powers is the
Allied aim and objective and thereby spiked even before it began, Hitler's projected “peace offensive.” For the rest, we
must wait, but probably not for long. The warning bell has
rung and the curtain is about to go up on the final act of World
War II. :
’ VICTORY ON THREE FRONTS —
A. tidal -wave of death and destruction rolled over the
Axis partners on three widely separated fronts last week—engulfing German, Italian and Japanese armies in disasters,
all within the space of a few days, and giving graphic emphasis to the immensity of the global conflict in which we are engaged.
In what is described as the greatest victory of encirclement and annihilation in all history. Russia announced that
trapped Nazi siege army before Stalingrad now has been almost entirely destroyed, with 208,000 of its officers and men
killed or captured.
In another theatre of the great global conflict, Tripoli fell
to General Montgomery's victorious Eighth Army,: stripping
Mussolini of the last vestige of his dream of a new Roman
Empire. And when the Nazi general, Rommel, fled Tripoli,
abandoning the Italians there, that event, too, marked a new
military milestone. Never before in the history of the world
has there been a flight and pursuit such as that of Rommel’s
defeated Afrika Korps and Montgomery’s triumphant British
army. Montgomery has now chased Rommel more than 1400
miles with almost continuous action between the two armies.
Japan, the third Axis partner to taste bitter defeat during
last week's string of Allied victories, met final and complete
disaster in northeastern New Guinea, as General MacArthur's
troops anihilated the remnants of a Jap army that once boasted 15,000 men. That victory, too, was of transcendent significance to the United Nations, for in winning it General MacArthur said that ‘‘a new form of compaign was tested which
points the way to the ultimate defeat of the enemy in the Pacific’’—a campaign of “swift, massive strokes,” made possible
. by “‘the continuous application of air power’ in every way to
which it is suited, and in close cooperation with land forces.
The new technique, which involves moving entire armies with
artillery and equipment by air transport, will preclude. the
need for a “‘dilatoy and cosly island-to-island advance,” MacArthur reported.
. To be sure, there are many battles still to be fought and
won before the final victory. But last week was a week of
great significance. The patterri of victory is being formed.
A “FEATHERBED” LUXURIES MUST GO
The San Francisco News, which has given staunch backing to the union labor movement in California for many years
past, comes out bluntly in a recent editorial, commenting on
warning that the railway unions should get rid of their ‘‘featherbed”’ rules if they expect public support in their move for
> ‘pay raises. o
Declares The News: ‘“The railway unions would help
their case tremendously if they would, voluntarily and prompt____ ly, do away with their “‘featherbed’’ rules which, in effect, require great numbers of men to be paid for not doing as much
work as they reasonably could: Many other unions enforce
~ such rules, but the railroads are leaders in that field, and the
resulting waste of manpower just doesn’t jibe with a demand
for still higher pay.” — :
That is certainly sound advice and sound argument. If
the railroad brotherhoods refuse to accept legislation pending
at Sacramento to suspend operation during the war period of
© so-called Full Crew Law, requiring extra and __ needless
kkemen on freight trains, they can expect little public symin the present man-power crisis. No group of individual
t to expect “‘featherbed”’ luxuries at a time when the
of the people are making every sacrifice to help the

The state legislature completed its’
business pertaining to the first part
of the 55th session Sunday at 3 p.
m. and recessed until Monday, March j
8th.
During the January session a total of 3000 bills were introduced,
1928 being introduced in the lower
house and 1072 in the senate. This
is 733 bills less than were introduced
two years ago or 25 per cent less
bills. The above figures of course do
not include’ the numerous resolutions
whch were introduced in both houses.
During the second part of the session each legislator may intreduce
but two bills so if each legislator
ases his two “spots” as they are called, tle total additional bills will not
axceed 240.
Many duplicate bills are included
in the total figures of bills introduced
and many will probably not even be
heard in committee, the authors
working together on one yill rather
than having duplicate bills heard and:
later clogging up the daily file.
Many emergency measures were
passed during the January session,
including the bill to disband the present state council of defense and
create a new fourteen member war
council. This and other bills which
were passed during the first part of
the session will be discussed bya the
writer in this column during the
interim.
The present session ‘far exceeds
any other the writer has attended in
so far as a spirit of cooperation and
non-partisanship is concerned. There
has been harmony throughout by the
Democrats and Republicans alike. Although the Republican party is in the
majority in the lower house, the
Democratic members have been given
many important committee posts and
the membership makeup of the committee is very evenly balanced between members of the two parties.
The writer. cansafely” state that
the. legislators composing the state
assembly this session are a fine class
of men and a much higher calibre of
legislators on the whole than the
lower house has had _ for. several
years. No longer can it be said that
“crackpot’’ legislation originates in
the assembly.
There are thirty one new members
in the assembly this session. These
new members have been shown every
courtesy by the older members and
part of the day was devoted to instructing all of the new men in the
rules of the house. This feature was
quite a. departure from former sessions. That the new members appreciated the courtesy and cooperation
of the veteran members was shown
one night last week when one of the
“freshmen” legislators, in behalf of
the new men, thanked the speaker
and the older members for their co-,
operation, in a speech made from the.
floor pf the house.
Attorneys continue to lead in the‘
makeup of the lower house, there being a total of thirty lawyers in that
. pouty. Next come the farmers and
ranchers with a total of fourteen,
. while seven insurance men are mem. bers of the lower house. We have one
. preacher, one chamber of commerce
secretary, one accountant, one house
painter, one civil engineer and others representing different professions
and trades. The writer is still the
only active newspaperman in_ the
lower house.
One of the highlights of the session last Sunday was an unannounced informal visit to both houses of
Governor Earl Warren. The governor
visited with members of the legislat
ure who remained to complete the
final days business, walking around
the chambers shaking hands with the
legislators and discussing in some
cases, individual district problems. It
was the first time in this ‘writers experience that a governor had made
such avisit to Both houses’ of the
legislature. : .
Peach Pruning Interlude
FOLSOM PRISON, Feb./4.— (UP)
—Thirty four inmates of Folsom
prison who were’ granted special
paroles on January 3 to prune peach
trees are énjoying their nine hours a
day of hard work in the open air,
according to letters received by their
friends here.
“It’s really swell to be out here
with no walls, bars, cells or lines to
contend with,” one of them wrote.
“T feel like a new man, and the
work, once ‘you get used to it, isn’t
so. hard.”
The men work six days a week
and are paid prevailing wages. They
get good food, live in two-man cabins
heated by wood stoves, and have access to showers and washrooms.

INVESTIGATE
FARMING NEEDS
SACRAIMENTO, Fete 4.—(UP)—
Following a charge by Gov. Earl
Warren that ‘‘the California farmer
is hamstrung and harrassed in ‘his
efforts,”’ legislation to’ create a farm
commission to investigate state food
and farm labor problems was introduced in the assembly.
“One of the principal weapons of}
this war is food,’’ Warren said, ‘‘and
given the opportunity the farmers of
California can and .will produce more
of it for war purposes than any other state of the union. But our situation is apparently not understood
and the California farmer is hamstrung and harrassed.in his efforts
until he hardly knows whether he is
to be permitted ato continue in business.” :
Warren pointed out that there is
no state agency ‘‘that can both find
the facts, determine the need and
then make the fight for California
agriculture.” and suggested that the
farm commission be created as a war
measure.
The commission would be empowered to explore all factors of production and distribution of farm products, and legislation, if found nec-.
esssary, would be recommended to
the governor and legislature. The
commission would consist of seven.
members, to be named for the war’s
duration by the governor with senate confirmation.
