M. L. ee Harry Hopkins, administrator of the lLease-Lend operations is out with a 44 page report on 90 days of progress (?). When its all boiled down it reveals that in that time the British and other democracies fighting for their lives, have received $10,729,684 worth of actual commodities from the U. S. A. of which $7,988,261 were ‘agricultural products. This, out of the 7 billion dollar appropriation. Hopkins proves to be as. useful in his new job as he has always been in other jobs. He functions much as would a wart upon’ the President’s nose. In the war effort this country is making he is not only worth nothing, but he fills the place of some man who might get results. It is fortunate for the New Deal that Hopkiths is half an invalid. His physique is always an alibi. Actually the country’s defense effort has ‘been slowed up. The production of planes in May, for instance, was less than in April. Yet from all the mouth pieces of hundreds of government agencies that spill a constantly growing stream—of—publictty~into the editorial rooms of the country, one would almost believe that American production already had the Germans licked and crying for mercy. The ‘‘paper work’ required to get an order through from. the British commanding officer in Egypt to the manufacturer in the United States requires 70 British signatures in London, and 20 in this country. These signatures require four months to be affixed, and the manufacturer requires two weeks to get out the goods for delivery. By this account it would seem that British red tape is more than three times as long as that of the United States. Hopkins, so far as his report shows, has done nothing to shorten the red tape route though invested with powers second only to the President. : We have heard a lot about labor organizations purging themselves of communists. Half hearted attemps have been made to do so. Occasionallly some turbulent. radical has had his wrist gently slapped by his superior in Washington. But why should labor do any purging so long as the New Deal keeps known communists on its payrolls in Washington. Out of many we mention two flagrant ‘cases. We quote recent dispatches: “David Lasser, formér president of the Workers’ Alliance, several months ago was placed on the WIiPA payroll at $4,400 a year. Lasser is notorious for his communistic sympathies. The Dies Committee has shown his Workers’ Alliance was inspired in Moscow, He -himself, on expenses taken from the dues relief work_ ers paid out of their measley allowances, several years ago journeyed to Moscow by special invitation to attend a celebration of the Red Revolution. He has been a particularly annoying agitator. Yet this man, instead of being blacklisted by the government, is placed on the payrol at $4,400 a year while Western Democrats complain bitterly to Ed Flynn that they cannot get jobs for the party faithful. “What is worse, the Lasser appointment was stoutly defended by Howard Hunter, WPA Administrator, who refused to fire him in response to criticisms in Congress. In order to get Lasser off the payroll the House voted 131 to 88 that no part of the WPA. appropriation could be used to pay his salary. Whether the senate will concur remains to be seen.” “The second case we have in mind is that ‘of Bernard Ades, who in 1934 was the communist candidate for governor of Maryland. Quite by accident a Maryland congressman discovered him on the payroll of the United States Housing Administration at a salary of $3,200 a year. Certainly it was clear this man was a communist, The only acz ; years has contributed to the columns Glennon of Nevada City took place a Grass Valley Saturday night. non of Sacramento, formerly of this city, and Curtis Clark of Nevada City acted as the best man.

They will motor to, North Dakota, where they will visit . with relatives of the bride. A recep-. tion is planned for the couple upon. their arrival in Deering North Da-. kota. The former ‘Miss Haug is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Haug of; Deering. For the past year and a half. she had been employed as a nurse. at the Jones Memorial Hospital in Grass Valley. She is a graduate of the St. Barnabas Nursing School at Minneapolis. Glennon, who has resided here for, several years, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Glennon of Sacramento Street, Glennon is a graduate of the Sacramento High School and is employed by the Empire-Star Mines Ltd.

Second Registration Under Selective Service Will Be Held Tomorrow In Nevada City and throughout the county, state and nation, all men, aliens as well as citizens, who have attained the age of 21 since last October 16th are required to register under the Selective Service Act tomorrow. ‘On the eve of the second R-day in less than a year, the prediction came from Washington that a_ reatively high percentage of the 750,000 young men to be registered for military service tomorrow may be inducted into the army within the next few months. In Nevada City, Merle Morrison of the Nevada County Selective Service Board will handle the registration in his headquarters at the courthouse, second floor. SUPERVISORS WILL MEET The Nevada County Board of Supervisors will convene here tomorrow in regular session. One of the matters of importance to be considered will be the handling of the relief, which has been shouldered onto the eounties as a result of the legislature’s neglect to appropriate SRA funds before adjourning recently. tion that has been taken so far is a request by the USHA chief for an investigation by the Justice Department. Meanwhile Ades has not even been suspended. Yet the New Deal, carrying water on both shoulders, rails at labor leaders who fail to purge their ranks of communists! And no wonder defense production: falters and wobbles with these pernicious termites busy within the government itself, Following the wedding the couple’ With great foresight, Mrs, Cranfield has made a ‘temporary kitchen beneath her unfinished home; here, on a woodburning range, she cooks with all the pleasure of natural airconditioning. When the house is completed the temporary kitchen will become part of the basement. AGED URGED TO WAIT PATIENTLY FOR JULY CASH An appeal to all recipients of old age security and state aid to the blind not to flood county welfare departments with inquiries regarding the Status of their cases was issued toor of the state department of social welfare. “California county welfare departments will be working strenuously to insure July payments to all recipients in the amounts for which they are eligible under the new law,” according to Miss Chickering. ually the entire 162,000 aged and adjustments appear likely for 45,000 recipients who have income or own homes, It was pointed out that the more inquiries received by the county welfare department the less time will be available to work on each case. 2 : Despite five months of struggling with the federal officials on the part of the legislature, the governor and the social welfare board, the federal social security board insisted California’s laws be tightened. California finally gave in when withdrawal of federal funds on July 1 seemed certain unless this state complied with the federal demands, California thought to retain the liberal income provisions of its former laws. A separate program has been set up by the legislature to care for those needy blind persons who submit actual working plans of rehabilitation. This special class of recipients will be allowed to retain outside income not in excess of $400 per year without their aid grants being affected. d Visiting In Fresno— (Mrs. Will Davis of Willow Valley is visiting cousins ‘near Fresno.

'the Fourth (Friday night.) . ‘Willow Valley Louth Develops Bone Grinder By MIRIAM CRANDALL Fifteen year old George Nelson of Willow Valley has developed a bonegrinding machine as the latest invention of his ingenious mind. Finding steam pressure from 25 gallons of water, heated in a 50 galJon oil drum, insufficient to turn the wheels of his device, young George turned to water power which worked quite successfully. The product of the machine, pu!verized bone, is used for chicken feed. According to George, the steam senerating contrivance while impractical for wheel-turning power, is quite successful as a ‘“‘midget’’ carwashing machine. George, who will be a sophomore in the local high school next. fall, does gardening at home and earns his spending money by doing odd jobs about the yards of friends and acquaintances in Nevada City. Young Nelson’s’ inventions are reminiscent of another boy who started life in much the same manner. That boy grew to become the man—Thomas A. Edison. Carlton -Orzalli, 20, of Nevada City, must serve the next 15 years in a federal penitertiary for stealing and defacing United States Postal savings bonds.
