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bombing missions were determined upon which will one day flatten Tokio and knock Japan out of the war—these ~ are still unpublished paces in the drama.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 i Pe) "THAT'S THE KEY TO VICTORY” FoRwarp PROGRESS 1 a WAR HAS DEPEND: 5 UPON OUR PROGRE> ON THE PRODUCT.. FRONT, THE ARSER: OF DEMOr MAKING ts BS WITH YOUR ASSEMBLYMAN SCOOP THURMAN AT THE STATE CAPITOL the request of rail employees for increased wages, with 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.
