SUBSCRIPTION RATES Baca seca ue $3.00 . ! One year (In Advance) 30 cents One Month WAR-TIME WASTE SCORED Findings of the Tydings Committee, as summarized by the Citizens Emergency Committee, emphasize that nonwar spending waste must be stopped, that federal personnel now engaged in nonessential activities must be transferred to necessary war duties. The report points out that: The elimination or curtailment of functions not necessary to the prosecution of the war and those which are duplicating, overlapping and parallelling would make available to the primary war ‘agencies personnel which is well trained and experienced in government methods of operation. Considering the present status of the nation. it stretches the imagination to believe, or even comprehend, that many of the functions still being prosecuted by numerous departments and agencies could be arcued as heir~ necessary to the war effort.’ Senator Tydings has introduced legislation authorizing the shift of employees from nonessential; nonwar agencies to war agencies. KITCHEN COMMANDOS (From the fournal. Wilmington, Del.) : Like the War Bond campaign but unlike some other etforts on the home front, the drive to save fats‘and creases wil! continue for the duration of the war. So long as Japan holds the East Indies we shall have to look to our kitchens and meat shops for the materials out of which we can extract the glyrecine required to. manufacture explosives. So our housewives may as well make up their minds that their voluntary enlistment in the cause is a long one. If they fail to do their part, compulsion may supplant the present policy of persuasion. In Germany and Japan it is a criminal offense to throw away waste fats. That dictatorial program can be avoided here if the negple will give the government their wholehearted cooperatiow: This is a job which will have to be done largely by the women of America. They have an opportunity to render the nation a highly patriotic service at no financial cost to themselves. All that is being asked of them is that they save their waste instead of throwing it away. It is a modest request. AMERICA’S GIBRALTAR Public concern lest Alaska—with the Japanese having a foothold in the Aleutians—might prove the Achilles heel of America in the event of a Jap attempt to invade this continent, was widespread before members of the Senate's investigating committee personally inspected Alaska’s key defense prparations. __. It was reassuring to hear from those senators that Alaska is strongly fortified and garrisoned and that our mliitary establishment there is being augmented constantly. Jt is also reassuring to learn that construction on the military highway to Alaska is going forward so rapidly that the highway will be. in service within a few months. ,. General Billy Mitchell, the man who was so far ahead of . contemporary military thought that he suffered disgrace for his foresight, said of Alaska in 1935 — a long while ago as world. events have run: “Alaska is the most central place in the world for aircraft. and that is true either of Europe. Asia or North America. I believ that in the future he who holds Alaska will hold the . world. and . think it is the most strategic place in the world.”’ Just now, it may be, Alaska is important principally as an outpost of continental defense. But in years to come, as Billy Mitchell predicted, Alaska. may become the Gibraltar of American air power, offensively as well as defensively—more important to this country than the rock of Gibraltar was important to British sea power in the days when nothing more damaging than hailstones was to be faced from the skies above that rock. =p i WORK FOR WESTERNERS Two years of gearing Pacific slope industry to the demands of war have given the people of the seven far western states an average of $910 per capita in war contract work to _. handle. This is more than 50 per cent above the national war contract per capita of $590, according to computation by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. West Coast war contracts total two and a half times the total 1939 value of all manufacturing production! _, That is cheering infomation—and allied with it is word from the Social Security Board that because of. opportunity for war work 828,000 men over the age. of 65 have deferred retirement on pension, and 24,000 who had retired before Pearl Harbor have dropped off the pension rolls to go back to work. The proportion of these elderly workers is likewise heavy in the west. This speaks well for the eagerness of our senior citizens to pull their full share in the war effort—and also shows that the WPA and dole years haven't killed the oldtime American instinct to step into a job and go to it—when one is open. JOHNNY GETS HIS VOTE Ending a needless and longstanding type of discrimination against men in the armed services, congress has now accorded them the full right to vote in primary and general elections for national officials without the necessity of registra_ The right to vote in free elections is one of the freedoms for which the United Nations are fighting. . What could be more sensible and proper than assuring, that right to the men in our fighting forces who are defending it? . 3 DOCTORS WORK OVERTIME ° . o LE I sion today lies in the vast numbers of doctors who are being ‘calléd to service with the armed forces. It is the government's policy that American fighting men must be given the finest medical care possible, and doctors are joining up, by the thousands. In order to meet both military and civilian needs for doctors, medical groups are taking definite action. . During the next three years, for instance, U. S. medical schools _ will graduate more than 21,000 students as a result of recently adonted programs for accelerating the education process. This is 5000 more than would have been graduated without the ac. celerated programs. . Retired doctors are coming back into harness, and other doctors are working harder. The most efficient utilization of alt our medica! resources is rapidly being attained. . So far as the patient is concerned, authorities are urging that everyone do what he can, to “‘spare the doctor.” simply means that we shouldn't ask for unnecessary house calls, and we shouldn’t waste the doctor's time when he comés. If you take more of his attention than you actually need, someone else may have to go without. If patients will remember this, it will help greatly to solve the problem. THE ARMY, THE NAVY—AND THE WEST Brigadier General Frederick Gilbreath, commander of the San Francisco port of embarkation, said this week: “You may be interested to know that for several months during the spring and; summer, the San Francisco port shipvec out more military supplies than all other ports in the: United States combined! If you include Los Angeles and Portland, thece ports shipped out 60 per cent more than all other ports combined! I have had surveys made of all port facilities along the coast. You would be astonished to see the quantities of freight that these facilities are capable of handling. They will be needed to full capacity, however, before this war is won. if . am any judge of the magnitude of the undertaking.” The West produces much of the goods shipped, and these words of praise for duty well done are pleasant. But how are we to make sure of continuing to meet to the full “the magnitude of the understaking?’’ General Gilbreath added: ‘Here on the Pacific Coast, the Army, the Navy and the civilian population are bonded together to lick the enemy and we have no time nor stomach for squabbles among ourselves.” Words for every-westerner to heed—union worker, nonunion worker, producer, grower, owner, investor, shipper. “To lick the enemy, we have no time nor stomach for squabbles among ourselves.” NAZI SCIENTISTS BOLSTER ARYAN SUPERMAN BUNK tires.

Goldschmidt, professor of zoology at. the University of California. Writing in the Journal of Heredity, Dr. Goldsmidt took issue wiih an earlier article which had described the discovery by German anthropologists of certain “hereditary attributes’’ of the Jewish race. It said scientific study had uncovered sev-, : lservation of tires by eral of these, such as the position of the ears and the shape of the nostrils. These ‘‘attributes’’ were to be used, said the article, to identfy per'sons of Jewish blood or the mixed Jewish-Aryan ancestry. Even a trace of Jewish blood could be-discovered by their use, according to the article. . : “The writer of the article was apparently taken in by the Nazis.” said Dr. Goldschmidt, ‘‘since such a scheme is not’ scientifically valid. German Jews have a very large mixture of Teuton blood, as well as Moorish, Spanish. Dutch and Slav.
The so-called Aryan German also has a very mixed racial background. It is impossible to pick out a second or third generation descendant of such mixed strains and identify his ancestry from his ‘bodily characteristics. The German scientists who are providing manufactured evidence to support the Nazi plan are prostituting their science.’”’ HIGHWAYS HIT NEW Hie SACRAMENTO, Sept. 21; — Tire punctures and blowouts on highways of California have almost doubled in the last six months, the Department of Motor Vehicles revealed today. Surveys conducted throughout the state by highway patrolmen indicate inability of car owners to obtain new tires is having the inevitable effect of increasing the number of vehicles parked on roadsdies for repairs or waiting for a tow car. : One patrol inspector reported tire dealers in his district had received several offers ‘“‘as high as a month's salary’? for one good used tire. The same officer said from five to ten cars could be observed any Sunday “limping in’? on an empty rim. Garages report an increasing number of vehicles stored for want of fearing injury to precious tire casings, refuse to moye them even a few ifeet and consequently leave their vehicles parked on pavements while they go in search of help or another tire. From several communities it was reported that the stock of boots for casings is becoming depleted. Loud Speaker Systems for Rent Sale. Authorized Philco Auto Radic Service.
