Supermen and super races. is a conception percularly repungnant to Americans in the: majority of whom, the blood of many races runs, and it is with a deep satisfaction that we, a conglomerate people, to borrow a geological term; see the pure bred Aryans, black, tan and blond heading for the ash can. One of the outstanding developments of the war, something the United Nations can view with justified pride, is the rapidity with which the British Commonwealth, Russia and the United States, overtook the German and . Japanese juggernauts, which had been built a good seven or eight ‘ years before we entered the martial race. Russia, alone of the United Nations had a formidable army, Britain and the United States had formidable navies, but generally speaking all three were on a peace footing when Hitler began to throw his weight about. Huge additions had to be made to British and American navies. Russia had to muster its’ total Manpower, and put women _ to work in the hard manual labor that still characterizes most of Russia’s normal economy. But all this done and,-starting from scratch practically, all three nations created an aerial force thal now easts its blighting shadow over all three enemy dictatorships. They have all lost so many pilots that their new rushed to completion under such handicapped conditions and their pilot replacethat toll taken by our well trained that the toll taken by our well pilots in planes. improved as each new war lesson is learned, that the ratio of enemy planes lost to those of the United Nations shows constantly greater. planes and planes are While planes can take over a limited area as in the case of Crete, where all manner of planes, gliders and troop carriers, as well as combat ‘types, in an enormous attack with losses in proportion, succeeded, it will still be necessary to send troops to take the land in both Germany and Japan. But’ lesses, that is to gay, the numbers of killed and wounded will be greatly lessened after the planes have done their work. This was clearly shown in the conquest of Tunisia, where our casualties were only a small fraction, about one tenth ‘of those inflicted on German and Italian armies. to preTf it takes a little longer use of pare. the ground, by the , planes, to soften uD enemy. territory and peoples, 50 that that our casualties are greatly less than those of the enemy when we do invade and seize _enemy strong holds let us, who have relatives and friends in the armed forces, give thanks for that delay. We cnt afford the money costs, but no nation can afford too great a loss 6f its splendid young manhood. We, English, American and Russian have sent the very finest of youth into battle. The enemy nas have already sacrificed their best, especially Germany and Italy. They are now calling up their school boys, their physically qefective, and their older men to fill the gaps ereated, if you please, by the dispised non-Aryans. The humiliation these super races ar9 about to endure is something never before experienced on this 2 tion earth. Preponderance of air power will win this war, and the threat of air force which the United Nations will possess after defeat. of our enemies, will do much to maintain the peace for some years, at an rate. Not that threats are the best basis on which to build a peace, but that, in a world that has grown accustomed to. the thought of might makes right, the ~ threat force to maintain peace, is something to which we might as well be reconciled.

U.S. ARMY HAS NEW MONSTER GUN TOTER One of the Army’s newest weapons, the M-12 tank destroyer is a ‘juggernaut on tracks.’ Described officially as a gun motor carriage, the M-12 is an all-purpose weapon and a match for any tank -now built. It is a 155-m, gun mounted on a M-3 chasis, and it attains the speed of a medium tank which makes it in addition to its other virtues, a highly mobile weapon. The M-12 will throw a 95 pound projectile more than ten miles and can knock out a tank or even sink a heavy cruiser at that range. About the only purpose for which it cannot be used, in fact, is for anti-aircraft operations. Extremely destructive of enemy artillery, the M-12 will easily reduce enemy fortifications, blow up m4terial, or smash tanks. One shot from it would reduce any tank now made or likely to be made. Its high mobility enables it, according to the Army to be shifted quickly from, one task to another, giving the field commander higher fire potential faster than he could get it any other way. 2 HENNESSY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL BY The Grass Valley School Board at an adjourned meeting Thursday {night, elected Clay Caldwell, manual a training teacher of the James 8.

Ackerman vice president of Pacific Greyhound Lines. “If selective service boards induct an appreciable number of fathers this year, the manpower shortage of intercity bus companies will become even more acute,’ Mr. Ackerman said, quoting from a study made by the National Association of Motor Bus Operators. “This study,’’ Mr. Ackermat stated, “shows that 73 per cent of all bus drivers are between 21 and 37 years of age, and 62 per cent of the maintenance personnel are between 18 and 37. Most of these men have been deferred because they have children. Last year the nation‘s bus lines lost nearly half of their -bus drivers principally to the armed services, although transportation is considered a vitally essential vocation. In addition to their replacement, the bus lines had to greatly increase the number of drivers to take care of wartime transportation demands. And the problem is not only one of. employment, but also: of training, beause every new bus driver is required to take a lengthy course of instruction in the interests of .publie safety. There was an even higher rate of turn over in the maintenance departments beeause of emNEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA All scout masters of the Tahoe Area have been notified that,,Camp Pahatsi will be open for summer camp for the Boy Scouts beginning August 29th and continuing September 5th.

JESSE MAYO TO SEEK SEAT IN U.S. CONGRESS State Senator Jesse M. Calaveras county newspaper publisher, in a statement issued last Saturday prior to his departure for Washington, D. C., announced his candidacy for Congress to succeed the late Congressman Harry L. Englebright, in the Second California Congressional district of which Nevada County is a part. Senator Mayo is enroute to the national capital as a member of a special Senate committee named at the request of Governor Barl Warren to seek changes in the Federal Social Security law, which according to Governor Warren, discriminates against persons in California receiving old age assistance. Congress recently enacted legislation designed to allow pensioners to earn additional money in agricultural work without deductions, but a “joker” was inserted which prohibits California pensioners from benefitting under the new act. The Senate committee hopes to induce Congress to remove the “‘joker’’ from the law. Senator Mayo is chairman of the state senate committee on Welfare and Institutions and .sponsored recent legislation which increased the state’s pension from $40 to $50 per month. “Upon my return from Washington in two weeks,” stated Senator Mao, “I shall begin an active campaign throughout the 18counties of the district and will state my position: clearly upon the many vital issues which the American people face today. Prior to his election to the State Senate in 1938, Mayo represented 10 of the’18 counties in the Second ‘Congressional . District in the State Assembly for three terms. The district included Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Inyo, Mariposa, Mono, Nevada, Placer and Tuolumne Caunties. : The present visit to the nation’s capital marks jhe third time within two years that Senator Mayo has represented the state on special matters in Washington.

Dr. Harry March of Grass Valley pronounced the boy dead. : The remains are in charge of Cor'oner Alvah Hooper and are in the Hooper and Weaves Mortuary pending funeral arrangements. L. M. GIANNINI GIVES VIEWS OF POST-WAR TIMES Lower income . they now hold a_ vastly increased ;volume of ‘optional purchasing . . Dower,” will largely determine doimestic economic conditions after the . war, according to L. M. Giannini, president of the Bank of America. . Asked to contribute his thoughts ;to the general discussion on post. war problems, the banker said that many do not yet realize what a tre. mendous shift in optional purchas. . ing power has been occurring. . Explaining that the amount of in; come remaining after deducting basie . living costs and taxes from gross in. come constitutes optional purchas. ing power, Giannini stated that the ;three quarters of the population who “groups, because jare in the lower income groups now . hold more than twice the optional . power they had in 1936. “In the higher income group, comprising less than a quarter of the population,” he said, “optional purchasing power has been cut almost in half during this " period.’”’ This shift, he added, has been of particular importance to California, where there has been a great expansion of industry, and many of the . Workers are saving money through jthe purchase of war bonds and the , building of savings accounts. . “For many years to come the prosperity of the country will be based on the excess purchasing power of the lower income earners, as this group not only will have large agsregate savings but will be in a position to spend more and save more than the larger income group,” Giannini said. “The pentup purchasing” Power and continued earning power of California workers will do much to stabilize conditions and speed the change from war to peacetime production to satisfy the accumulated volume of consumer demand. “The great new industries and added plant capacity of this state, the large markets on the Pacific. Coast, Central and South America and the Far East, where their products can be distributed, should provide continued employment,’ the banker emphasized.

JESSE MAYO TO SEEK SEAT IN U.S. CONGRESS State Senator Jesse M. Calaveras county newspaper publisher, in a statement issued last Saturday prior to his departure for Washington, D. C., announced his candidacy for Congress to succeed the late Congressman Harry L. Englebright, in the Second California Congressional district of which Nevada County is a part. Senator Mayo is enroute to the national capital as a member of a special Senate committee named at the request of Governor Barl Warren to seek changes in the Federal Social Security law, which according to Governor Warren, discriminates against persons in California receiving old age assistance. Congress recently enacted legislation designed to allow pensioners to earn additional money in agricultural work without deductions, but a “joker” was inserted which prohibits California pensioners from benefitting under the new act. The Senate committee hopes to induce Congress to remove the “‘joker’’ from the law. Senator Mayo is chairman of the state senate committee on Welfare and Institutions and .sponsored recent legislation which increased the state’s pension from $40 to $50 per month. “Upon my return from Washington in two weeks,” stated Senator Mao, “I shall begin an active campaign throughout the 18counties of the district and will state my position: clearly upon the many vital issues which the American people face today. Prior to his election to the State Senate in 1938, Mayo represented 10 of the’18 counties in the Second ‘Congressional . District in the State Assembly for three terms. The district included Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Inyo, Mariposa, Mono, Nevada, Placer and Tuolumne Caunties. : The present visit to the nation’s capital marks jhe third time within two years that Senator Mayo has represented the state on special matters in Washington.

GIANNINI GIVES VIEWS OF POST-WAR TIMES Lower income . they now hold a_ vastly increased ;volume of ‘optional purchasing . . Dower,” will largely determine doimestic economic conditions after the . war, according to L. M. Giannini, president of the Bank of America. . Asked to contribute his thoughts ;to the general discussion on post. war problems, the banker said that many do not yet realize what a tre. mendous shift in optional purchas. . ing power has been occurring. . Explaining that the amount of in; come remaining after deducting basie . living costs and taxes from gross in. come constitutes optional purchas. ing power, Giannini stated that the ;three quarters of the population who “groups, because jare in the lower income groups now . hold more than twice the optional . power they had in 1936. “In the higher income group, comprising less than a quarter of the population,” he said, “optional purchasing power has been cut almost in half during this " period.’”’ This shift, he added, has been of particular importance to California, where there has been a great expansion of industry, and many of the . Workers are saving money through jthe purchase of war bonds and the , building of savings accounts. . “For many years to come the prosperity of the country will be based on the excess purchasing power of the lower income earners, as this group not only will have large agsregate savings but will be in a position to spend more and save more than the larger income group,” Giannini said. “The pentup purchasing” Power and continued earning power of California workers will do much to stabilize conditions and speed the change from war to peacetime production to satisfy the accumulated volume of consumer demand. “The great new industries and added plant capacity of this state, the large markets on the Pacific. Coast, Central and South America and the Far East, where their products can be distributed, should provide continued employment,’ the banker emphasized.
