The citadel of might, where ruthless men planned their . state Unemployment Insurance Act. sordid campaign of world subjugation, has become a symbol . daue to the failure of the California of total war's fearful retribution. Fragmentary reports of the battle for Berlin make it clear that the once-arrogant Nazi capital. has been literally blasted from the face of the earth—and that little remains in vast areas . of the city but tangled wreckage and debris. This is Hitler’s final monument—a gravestone of broken masonry, piled on the broken bodies of his people; a once great capital. reduced to ashes; a city condemned to death by its own fanatical leaders seemingly determined on their own self-destruction when they could no longer satiate their lust for destruction on the helpless of other nations. Russian tanks and aftillery, and allied bombs and rockets, ‘wrought the actual destruction. But if ever a tity committed suicide, and then pulled its buildings dowh to covery its passing, that city was Berlin, capital of the Nazi hierarchy.—Contributed. . HAS THE JEEP ‘A FUTURE? One of the most fascinating pieces of war developed equipment seems to be the puddle-jumping, mountain-climbing, ubiquitous jeep. A legend of heroic escapade surrounds ‘the war time jeep, and aura of impossible deeds performed and written in military history by the courageous men bouncing them around in every war theatre. Virtually everybody intends to own a jeep after the war. for practical purposes or otherwise. The very sight of one seems to spell a fishing trip, loaded down with gear for camping, or a trail blazing trek through the mountain country where no car has burned rubber before—because no roads have yet been gouged into the virgin escarpments. But now comes Dan Dwyer writing in Motorland to cool the ardor of many prospective owners, particularly those in the farm country. The jeep, says Dwyer, can haul most anything that can be loaded into it—but that isn’t much. Blessed by no shock absorbers, it’s uncomfortable riding at high speed and most low speeds. In farm use it would be more costly than a pick up truck and possibly less efficient than a tractor. ’ On the credit side, we find the jeep weighs some 800 pounds less than the average touring car. It has twin driving axles, general ruggedness of frame, a 60 horse power motor that can be hitched to most anything where power is wanted. It can climb, claw or jump over almost any kind of terrain. Of the half million jeeps produced, some 200,000 are expected to be in shape to sell after the war. Regardless of any impracticability for home front use, the dramatic war role played by the sturdy jeep should sell. 100,000 anyway. And the desire of drivers whose family cars are casualties of war, to own transportation only half worn out instead of completly so, should sell the other half.—Contributed.

CHAMBER MEMBERS TO ENJOY SLEIGHT-OF-HAND The regular: meeting of the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce will take place Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock in the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall-over Bolton’s Store.

Labor ‘Handling Leader, Says Lapham SAN FRAINCISCO, May 7—‘“San Francisco is far ahead of other cities of the United States in its handling of labor affairs,’’ Mayor Roger D. Lapham told a meeting of the San Francisco Employers Council. The mayor cited the council itself ag a proof of this. “In my 27 months in Washington as a member ofthe National War Labor Board,’’ said Lapham, “I found that big employers of other sections of the country had not learned the way we had—the hard way—that labor and employers must work together for better relationships.’ The’ mayor, as president of the American Hawaiian Steamship Company, as long ago as 1938 advocated organization of employers just as labor is organized, in a speech which was the starting point of the pres; ent Employers’ Council upon which is based the record San Francisco has made in labor management relations. S. F. Stands by for Harvest Help SAN FRANCISCO, May 7—The San Francisco War time Harvest Council, first volunteer agency in the United States to recruit city workers to meet farmers harvest emerzenciés, will stand by the 1945 as in previous years to enlist volunteer workers, both students and adulis, if . Employment Stabilization Commission to cofform to.the federal definition of agricultural labor, or to adopt any clear cut rule of its own defining farm labor. The legislature and corfigress, in adopting the state and federal unemployment insurance laws, speciiffically excluded agricultural labor from the provisions of both acts, but the lack of any accurate definition of ‘fagricultural labor’. in California has keut the farming industry in constant confusion and. turmiil. At this late date in the legislature session, California farm organizations have been forced to press bills in the legislature to adopt here the federal definition of farm. labor, due to another breakdown in efforts to secure a ruling from the Employment Stabilization Commission, although a ruling has been repeatediy promised. ; It has become all too clear that the real stumbling block to, action iby the commission is the declared opposition of labor officials to adoption of the federal definition of agricultural labor—on the ground that this would broaden the agricultural exemption and that this runs contrary to the ‘‘social objectives’ of the labor groups and those responsive to them. : The inescapable implication ig that the ‘labor groups are-atfempting to achieve their ‘‘social objectives’’ without benefit of legislation, simply by exerting pressure on‘ the administrative agency to circumvent .provisions of the law laid down by the legislature and congress. That, of course, comes back to the old abuse of administrative agencies seeking to usurp legislative powers, and make the laws, instéad of enforcing the laws adopted by the people’s elected representatives. This same problem arose soon after adoption of the Federal Unemployment Insurance Act. When the act was first passed. it was assumed that the simple exclusion of _agricultural operations was all that was necessary. Then the Federal Social Security Board proceeded to set up a definition of ‘‘agricultural labor’’ which cut directly across the field instead of clearly outlining it. It being impossible for many employers to determine whether their help was agricultural labor or not —-an employee working at excluded employment a portion of the day, and at unexcluded employment another portion of the day, and often switching many times in one day because of the nature of farm work—congress finally took the matter in hand and laid down its® own’ definition, which is still in e federal act. (California agrictiture, in the bills which have been\submitted :o the legislature, simply seeks to have a shortage should aig hi apring and summer, Edson bel, council chairman, has announced. Northern and Central California farm groups are urged to communicate with the council at once if they find that they will have a shortage ‘of agricultural labor for their harvest season. iof the law, passed a-bill (similar to ed, so far as the agriculture is con-}; ‘}sound method of including agriculthe federal definition of farm labor accepted as thé state definition—so that confusion can be avoided, and so that farmers -here will not be placed at a competitive disadvantage with those in other states. . As a matter:of fact, the legislatyre in 1943; after repeated failures on the part of the Employment Commission to recognize the need for; uniformity, as required by section 2 . . the legislation now pending) defin-. ing “agricultural. labor’’in conform. ity with the federal definition. That. bill, unfortunately, was vetoed vy} the governor with the statement that . “he was doing so in order that the . new employment stabilization com-. might not hampered in thoroughly reviewing the situation and determining what needed to be done. After the governor’s veto, agriculture waited until almost the end of 1944 for action by the new commission, but when nothing happened major farm organizations . finally made formal request of the commission that the federal definition. be adopted. Since that time responsible officials in the commission have prepared tentative revised definitions in four differene, forms. A fin'al form submitted for public copsideration in March, was protested by labor groups, which wanted no change in procedure, and by farm groups which contended that the commission’s suggested definition did not. go far enough and should be made uniform with the federal regulation. The case then/went to the California Unemployment Insurance appeals board appears to ‘have bogged disagreement. ‘Farm organizations, under the cir‘cumstanices, are finding it necessary to press for re-enactment by the legislature of the federal definition, in Senate Bill 615, by Senator Sutton— and it is to be hoped that this time it will be allowed to become law, so that confusion and abuses can be eliminated. The’ farming industry never has objected to any attempt to find a mission he ture within the provisions of unemployment insurance, but has insisted that aw orkable plan be developed first and that action be on a national basis, so that the rule of uniformity may still apply. California farmers simply can’t carry the costs of unemployment insurance, while competing farmers in other states are exempt from such costs—and attempts to forcé,such a burden on this state’s farming industry by twisting the law ds\it now stands should come‘to an end. ( SAVANTS ADVISE HOW TO GET RIDOFWAR world of war, government and law must be extended into the internation’al sphere in place of anarchy and’ arbitrary morce, declared Prof. F. M. Russell, chairman of the political science department on the Berkeley campus of the University of California, in discussing the background of the San Francisco conference. “Tt is recognized that if we are to build an international organization with a minimum guarantee for the preservation of peace, we ‘have to build while war is in progress,’’ Russell gaid. ‘‘After a war, there is a return of people’s optimism. They quickly forget. This is one reason for tthe decision to come to an agreement for a master plan of -world organization, we “The master plan was under consideration at Dumbarton Oaks where only three powers, the USSR, Great Britain and the United States, were actually at work on the document.

But when a fellow went from door to door the other day, peddling butter, cheese, and bacon without points, he didn’t find a single taker. Ed Carey’s missus, Sarah, summed it up. ‘‘I’d just be *. ashamed to have that buiter on my table,’ Sarah says. “I’da heap rather have my family and guests put up with what I can serve honestly, than give ’ema treat from the Black Market.” Black Market Versus Brighter Meals These days, most people are agreed that a simple menu of unrationed foods and substitutes is a badge of honor. no apologies required! And from where f sit, housewives can brighten limited meals with cheerful tabie decorations, sparkling cider or tangy ice-cold beer, or side dishes of homemade preserves and fruits and nuts. Those little touches can be mighty helpful to the appetite, No. 115 of a Series Copyright; 1945, United States Brewers Foundativw’ Its proposals are tentative. The program which will be laid at the San Francisco conference will be for the consideration of the delegates.” The political scientist expressed his opinion that the proposed Security Council, to be composed of eleven members which will settle disputes and’ put down aggression, is weil calculated. ‘ “The San’ Francisco conference has one job only and that is the attempt to agree on a form of international organization within the frame work of «which nations can collaborate and . cooperate to prevent future wars.” Hope for positive action at the San . Francisco conference is bolstered by . recent . the unique “achievements in . history of Versailles and Dumbarton . Oaks, believe Dr. M. W. Graham, pro. fessor of political science on the Los . Angeles campus of the University ot . California. “What distinguishes Versailles . and Dumbarton Oaks from all their . predecessors is the, fact that while, at the close of earlier important wars, conscious. endeavors were privately made to bring about a formal organization at least of the European community, pending treaty settlements, none of the plang werévever adopted as they were at these two modern conferences. Thus, while professional pacifists have tended to view with regret the non-adoption of the plans for. peace maintenance, ‘those officially in charge with its making, at any given moment of historical time, followed no grand design. ‘Instead it has been the tragic irony of the makers of history, inso+ far as .diplomatists, generals, and magnates make history, that they have traditionally wound up. the clock of history with a make shift settlement and then nonchalantly thrown away the key.”’ DIVORCES FATRHOLM—In Nevada City, Nevada County, May 4, 1945, Veva Fairholm vs.Archie Fairholm, final decree, cruelty. : SWISHER—In Nevada City, Nevada County, May 4, 1945, Edith Swisher vs. Charles E.
