nn inf A THURSDAY.JUNE10.1943 WESTBR00K PEGLER Discrimination, Ban on Freak Suits Studied by Councilmen A proposal that it be made a Mayor Declares There Is no question of racial discrimination involved in the recent zoot-suit gang riots in Los Angeles, Mayor Bowron yesterday told State Department officials in a telephonic conversa jail offense to wear zoot suits with reat pleats within the city limits of Los Angeles" was given serious contemplation yes terday by the City Council. The suggestion was made In a written resolution by Council man Norris Nelson and immedi i x-y i 'A A 1 y- h-' (XY -rM-V 5 i I- 1 I i I sv -I au ty ately set the whole Council off By TOM TREANOR ry, which gets into their clothing and eats holes. And mosquitoes are always present to bite nurses' legs if they wear stockings and skirts. "We're supposed to wear a mosquito repellent under our stockings," said Second Lieutenant Irma Lindberg, "but if j-ou've ever tried washing that stuff out of dockings you'll know why we don't use it much." The Army pent them with skirts which are no good for mosquitoes and worse for climbing into trucks, the principal means of- transportation here. Most of the time the girls wear civilian slacks.

THEY SAID THEY weren't complaining but neither did they want a foolish, story written about the lovely food they're getting. "in six weeks we've had chicken just once," said Marian Shirley. "The ret of the time it seems like we've had nothing but corned beef. Some days we've had creamed corn beef for breakfast, corned beef hash for Junchcon and cold corned beef out of the can for supper." Thev alt said to be very careful what I wrote about how delicious the food is. WELL, THAT'S SO much about the nurses that there's no room for the story about the doctors.

They're nothing but so many more men in the area, anyway. They don't ANOTHER ASSAM BASE spciledest darlings of this 'year will be the nurses assigned to womanless woman-hungry areas. One such batch Is here Is Assam, the same Los Angeles incidentally, which I. met at the boat in Bombay some weeks ago. With them is the detachment ef Los Angeles doctors who rode the same boat.

In woven bamboo shacks on a jungle hill kicked bare by Scrapers and bulldozers they have just finished setting up a hospital and living quarters. They're ready for the monsoon, which is just breaking. From now until October they 11 live in rain. But for the nurses it won be gray weather. It's going to be a woman paradise.

THE MARKS OF masculine admiration sometimes begm when the early morning fighter patrol comes loping home from a mission over Burma, strafing or escorting bombers. Down they come over the hospital in long whining dives, giving it a buzz, while the girls run outside waving their handkerchiefs. About an hour later and time to time during the 'day this little gesture may be repeated, so the girls will never get lonely. Meanwhile, early callers by jeep and truck are in to say "how-de-do ho the nurses off duty. And there's always someone to drive them hither and yon to see the sights.

You can't go anywhere in the area without seeing nurses skipping about, all smiles and pleasure. tion. And the rolice Department Is going to enforce the law strictly in preventing disturbances, despite 'citizens in this community who raise a hue and cry of racial discrimination or prejudice every time the police make arrests of members of ganjis or groups working in unison." The Mayor reiterated his remarks, in part, in his weekly radio address last night. Chief of rolice C. B.

Horrall and Deputy Chief Lester -also spoke cn the zoot suit problem and promised that the Police Department will ohserve strict impartiality in dealing with the problem. lne Statement Following his conversation with State Department officials, the Mayor issued a written statement which read: "I have had 'a long-distance telephone conversation with the State Department in Washington relative to the local situation. I was advised that the Mexican Embassy had called the matter to the attention of the State Department upon the basis of a report received from the Mexican Consul in Los Angeles. "I informed the State Department that assurances could be tht Mpxican Embassy the town where you happen to live, but in Kansas City and St. Louis, San Francisco, Los Anzcle.

in the South and Southwest, in the Eat, everywhere. At one place we have a marine base of astounding size, but only one of several. At one point the Navy is training mere than half as many men as Kaiser found available to stand off invasion in 1940 and that, too, Is only one of several. Off in the desert, out cf sight, divisions of soldiers come and go, many of them followed by their wives who endure hardship to be near them until they get orderjs and vanish without puhlic notice. In San Diego we find a big plant, almost a city by itself, which had no existence even on paper when France went down, where men and women, trained for their jobs since that day, contribute to a total output of planes beyond the arrogant boasting of the Fuehrer.

Up the coast are several others and off in Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas are others still, with engines coming in from Connecticut and Jersey, Chicago and Detroit. TLAXES FOR TROPICS One small city, once a drowsy settlement in no hurry about anything, has busted its seams to accommodate, In conditions not above the hardship level, the families of workers who have come from all over to modify big ships flown in to be adapted for flying in tropical war. In another city of like size a similar plant makes changes required for the Arctic. Along all the coasts shipyards are turning out cargo vessels and warships of all dimensions and even in Denver, high and dry and landlocked, a thousand miles from the sea, small boats are built to carry the war to the Jap.

Small arms plants, ammunition plants and chemical war fare plants are spotted here, there and yonder, each surrounded by its complement of uprooted American families living catch-as-catch-can. The freights on the long hauls carry tanks and vehicles bound for the seaports and great crates on the flat cars, containing nobody knows what or particularly wants to ask. That, amid all this, some Americans can strike the war industries is no serious impairment of the general picture of war-minded diligence. To a far greater extent than the American people or Germany or Japan ever believed possible, the nation in three years has gone to war, and day by day the mighty power grows. CopyrlBhl.

1M3. br United FrsturM. In. DENVER, June It should comfort our nerves against the political irritations of the time to realize that from a sitting start in June, 19 when, so Henry Kaiser recently remarked, there were only 70.000 ill -armed American soldiers available to oppose a Japanese invasion and those few scattered about the land, the United States has nw beccme a nation almost totally devoted to works of war. In that impressive speech delivered in Boston to a gathering of war industrialists and workers from the plant.

Kaiser conjectured that the Axis actually had let the pay ball go for a called strike, and the third one at that, when Hitler failed to push across the Channel at whatever immediate cost and Japan hesitated to attack this country without warning in the west. We had. in one round number, nothing to fight with, and, with Britain down and out and a triumphant and vengeful maniac in the east and Japan ashore in the west and Russia still allied with Hitler, the United States almost certainly must have gone down fighting with shotguns, and pitchforks. NO COMPLACENCY NOW We have gone through a stage in which petulant rulers in Washington accused the people of complacency, though even then their sons were gone or going and millions were churning around, looking for some place to grab hold of a rope and pull. But that, too, is over.

Nobody, not even the President, himself, can have a mental picture of the whole war effort of the American nation now, meaning not merely the government but the individual people. It may not be totality as the British, Russian and Germans know it, but it is closer to totality than we, ourselves, realize, for each person regards the change in his own locality as a local condition. The American war effort, the change of ways from those of peace to those of war, is so vast that no writer or team of writers can tell the story. Everywhere, today, the papers tell little stories of the death of local boys overseas or in training flights at home, of local boys honored with medals for heroism, of young men recently in high schcQl, or college, missing or captured by the Jap or German. SOLDIERS EVERYWHERE Young civilians are rare and may generally be credited with good reasons for deferment, or exemption and men in uniform are everywhere, not only in COMES TO DEFENSE Mrs.

Amelia Venegas, 22, who says she has husband in the Navy, sees no reason why zoot suiters can't parade streets. Police arrested her and said she was carrying brass knuckles.

Specific action on Nelson's resolution languished while several Councilmen deplored the fact that the police seemed to have let the situation get out of hand.

Councilman John Baumgart-ner said that elimination of the offensive clothing wouldn't correct the situation. Like CItII War "There is practically a civil war on and the police have got to take more serious action than they have in the past," maintained Baumgartner. Baumgartner deplored the fact that Capt. Red Hynes, once head of the police subversive squad, is no longer on the job. "If Hynes had been on the job this business would never have gotten a start," went on the Councilman.

"These hoodlums now have the cops buffaloed." Councilman Roy Hampton maintained that the Police Commission wouldn't let the rank and file policeman do anything. Councilman Delamere F. McCloskey, an attorney, declared there are plenty of laws rights now applicable to the situation if the police would present the evidence to the District Attorney. lawn on Conspiracy "There are such laws as conspiracy to commit riot, and conspiracy to attack with deadly weapons, which could be applied very effectively here," argued McCloskey. Councilman Edward L.

Thrasher maintained that "someone" promulgated a "pat 'em on the wrist policy" for handling zoot -suiters. He asserted that once 50 of them were thrown in the Lincoln Heights Jail but that they were all turned loose with-out'having a charge filed against them "when they raised a big fuss." Councilman Carl Rasmussen asserted that "the real source of the trouble is deeper than has been revealed." He said that there are not sufficient policemen but that the department has been asking draft boards to draft particularly obstreperous devo Now comes a lady zoot suiter en, acainst persons of Mexican de- scent.

These were no zoot suiters and police said they were roaming the streets looking for excitement when taken into custody for questioning.

Similar disturbances have been reported in Arizona cities, in cities in West Texas, and in various other California cities.

"We are going to see that members of the armed forces are not attacked. At the same time, we expect co-operation from officers of the Army and Navy to the extent that soldiers and sailors do not pile into Los Angeles for the purpose of excitement and adventure and what they might consider a little fun by beating up young men whose appearance they do not like. advised the State Department representative that I am in "inse touch with the Mexican Consul and am working with him. and we propose to handle the situation in such a way that there will be no reason for protests on the part of the Mexican government. "At the same time, I want to assure the people of Los Angeles that there will be no sidestepping and the situation will be vigorously handled.

(VP) Mobs of servicemen, from a dozen to 300 or 400 strong, roamed the downtown streets tonight, on the lookout for zootsuiters reported to be infiltrating into San Diego from Los Angeles. A mob of more than 100 sailors and marines stormed down a main street after several youths wearing the outlandish garb, but the zootsuiters made a getaway before fists began to swing. Another gang of servicemen, numbering about 330, gathered at an intersection but were dispersed by city and military police before "any zootsuiters were found.
