SAX BERNARDINO DAILY SUN. TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1940 Western States Plan Extensive Defensive Maneuvers Late in Summen PAGE FOUR nrnrnwrn nnr CALL TO DR Approximately 35,000 Men May Participate, With 10,000 Of Them From California (Bv United Press SACRAMENTO, April 29. National guard and regular army forces from all states west of the Rocky mountains will hold their most extensive maneuvers since the World war at Fort Lewis, from Aug. 4 to 15, Adjutant General Patrick J. H.

Farrell revealed today. A total of approximately 35,000 men will participate in the maneuvers, Farrell said. Approximately 10.000 will be from California. The adjutant general said only two units of the national guard will be left in the state, totaling only about 1,000 men. They are the 250th coast artillery, with headquarters at Camp McQuaid, near Watsonville, and the 144th field artillery battalion, stationed in San Luis Obispo county.

Farrell said the mass maneuvers will be held "all over the state of Washington" with headquarters at Fort Lewis. NACOGDOCHES, Texas, April 29. Thirty thousand troops went into attack positions in dense, rain-soaked forests of east Texas today to launch the initial phase of the army's biggest war games. A severe test of the army's streamlined new motorized troops in simulated fighting over unfamiliar, rough terrain was made the harder in the tangled underbrush of virgin woodlands by rainfall that showed no sign of a letup. 'BATTLE OF BAYOUS' Major Gen.

Walter Kreuger, field commander, ordered his flying columns to advance at dawn. From then through May 8, Krue-ger's ninth army corps, or "red" army will stage Its own practice war, consisting of attacks by his infantry and cavalry against 4.000 blue overall-clad troops of the fourth cavalry, representing a myth ical army of 160,000, consolidation of position and strategic retreat in the face of "enemy" reinforcements. On May 10 will come the major war games, with Krueger's red army crossing the Sabine river and beginning its invasion of Louisiana against 40,000 men of the fourth army corps, or "blue" army. The ensuing "battle of the bayous" between 70,000 troops will give army experts a line on men and materials. BLACKOUT PLANNED It was emphasized that this, the nation's largest peacetime maneuvers, was over country unfamiliar to opposing forces, with no contour maps as have always been available previously, with the land slashed by creeks and marshes and covered by heavy forests, and with much of the roadways in the logging country of poor quality for rapid movement of heavy army transports.

A complete blackout will be maintained in the huge, hour-glass shaped Sabine national forest, scene of the red army intra-wargame. From the performance of the mechanical equipment and the actions of the men under strictest field discipline in the month-long maneuvers, army officials will explode or prove their present theories of strategy and tactics. They believe the knowledge to be obtained will be worth the $1,000,000 a day cost. Girl Sells Swimming Pools as Side Line (Br Associated Press) LOS ANGELES, April 29.

The controversy over the amending of the wage and hour law is a significant example of how many criss crosses of influence and pressure can surround a piece of legislation and make it appear to be something it really isn't.

The wage and hour law was passed in June, 1938, after a big fight over whether exemptions should be permitted certain regions and industries and businesses. The measure provides for almost uniform application of wages and hours. Now after nearly two years of operation, the pressure for exemptions and amendments is rather substantial, but the demand is coming from curiously opposite influences. Congressmen representing certain northern districts which face high production costs want to see that southern industries that compete on a lower wage scale are brought up higher. Differentials in freight that give one section an advantage over another are in the background of the effort to see competition equalized.

Agricultural processors are fighting for exemption. They see mounting costs in certain areas as destroying their opportunities. The wage and hour law never took into consideration the differences within the United States of wage conditions, but blanketed all under the same rule. That is one reason why, for example, Republicans from textile states supported the legislation originally, and why some of them are fighting against amendments that would bring certain exemp tions. REVISION SUPPORT The whole situation is complicat ed by the fact that the so-called agricultural amendments were orlg' inally coupled with the amendments desired by business which employ white-collar workers.

Support for revision came from both groups, Last year the house labor commit tee reported a bill under the sponsorship of Representative Norton which would have permitted certain amendments, especially with respect to white-collar workers in the high Income brackets. Certainly there was no Intention originally to cause officials who get more than $2,000 a year, for Instance, to be paid time-an-a-half for overtime when the same money might well be used to improve the lot of those whose New Treatment Heal RUPTUKE Without Surgical Operation Would you like to havt potitiv proof?

KMTR Music KFI Waring orchestra IN WASHINGTON David Lawrence wages fall far below $2,000 a year. But while there was general agreement last year as to these amendments and the president himself approved them, the administration now has shifted its strategy. Mr.

Roosevelt now Indicates that it is too early to change the law and that it is a piece of experimental legislation which should have more time for study by the wage and hour administrator. Even Republican members of the house are con ceding that the new administrator is doing a better job than his predecessor, and some of them are really saying, in effect, that they prefer bureaus to write the laws of the land. The regulations of the wage and hour administration and other bu reaus are definitions derived from the vague language of the statutes. With due regard for the sincerity of those who write the regulations, the congress might have different ideas as to what the law should cov er. To embody these ideas in statutory amendments is now consid ered by the administration to be unwise.

There has been a tendency of late to assume that the bureaus and boards know more about what congress intended than congress does itself. Privately, the average bureaucrat hasn't much use for members of congress and the new technique is to get statutes written in OPENING WEDNESDAY, MAY 1st UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT DRIVE-IN THEATRE COLTON AVENUE HIGHWAY 99 NEAR LOMA LINDA RELAX IN YOUR CAR SEE THE STARS UNDER THE STARS 2 BIG?

But these alleged details touch fundamental issues, and long after congress has abdicated its law-making function, the small businesses of America suffer because they are saddled with incraesed expenses that only their big competitors can finance.

SCHOOL PUPILS OP CAT CANYON TI CITY Coramunity Includes Buildings, Mayor, Commerce Chamber, Even Insurance Agent (By Ass.H-iated Press) SANTA MARIA, April 29. Fifty grammar school students are running a small city with actual buildings, a mayor, chamber of commerce and even an insurance agent, in picturesque Cat canyon, 15 miles from here. Blochman City was built upon the theory of a county school principal, Mrs.

Bina L. Fuller, that "one project, directed by the children and embracing mathematics, history, English, civics and sociology, is worth more than a thousand recitations." The children should learn, she declares, to build, to trade, govern and dwell in harmony with their fellows. BOOKS KEPT Nine years ago she induced on oil company to furnish land adjoining the school property for the city site. Her students laid out 24 lots, graded the streets and began to build the city, mostly with donated materials. Blochman City now has a postof-fice-4 a bank, store, health center.

park, bureau of information, art museum, model home, florist shon. forest preserve, and a newspaper. hupplies for the store are furnished by manufacturers through the efforts of the chamber of commerce. Everybody who works receives a salary. It is paid in "stace monev." but this money is just as good as cash within the limits of Blochman City.

The bank lends money for fully investigated projects and the grocery store has a cash register and a set of account books. GIRLS ALSO GOVERN The sanitation dpDartment spps that Main street. 100 feet lone, is kept clean. The Dolice commission ers and police chief have no crimi nals to deal with, so thev heln keen the streets in order. Mrs.

Fuller and Mrs Teresa Bruce, her assistant, offer counsel, but Blochman City is run by duly elected municiDal officers. Just now 'Jeanne Wilson, 12, is mayor and two or the three counc 1 members arc girls. But the tax assessor, tax collector and the insurance agent are men.

BEATTIE Jr. (United Press Correspondent) TURNU-SEVEREIN, Rumania (At the mouth of the Iron Gate), April 29.

For 10 miles upstream from here, where the Danube whirls at the base of cliffs, a few Rumanian sentries and scattered Yugoslavian patrols on opposite sides of the river watch the passage upstream of fuel so essential to Germany's air force and armored brigades. These and fishermen from the meager little villages plastered to the cliffs along the Danube's banks, are the only witnesses to the constant surge of oil and raw materials from the chief peaceful section on earth which Germany still can tap. The Danube always been the Balkans' stream of destiny. Along the south bank of the river there still is a rough path originally cut into the cliff by Roman legions. It is again the focal point for Intrigue as the Danubian nations struggle to keep themselves from under the German shadow.

The question of policing the river remains unsettled and Germany, either directly or through friends, is still asking for a common police force which could only end in making her master of the river. I came down this critical stretch of river last night in a little Danubian sidewheeler which shivered from stem to stern as the current tried to throw it out of the crooked channel. Tows which went past us sometimes several miles, sometimes a couple hundred yards apart were proof enough of who was getting the proceeds of the Danube trade this year. A slender Yugoslavian tug came up with a barge. Big two-funneled German sidewheelers of the Bayrischer Lloyd struggled upstream lugging barges so heavily loaded that not more than one foot PamA Trt rr- I A Giant Program!

More than 50 per cent of the barges were oil tankers. There were some Rumanian barges in tow, some Bulgarian and Hungarian. A few flying the French flag were moored solidly at the bank. But the German swastika out-numbered nearly two to one all other flags combined which I saw on the river this morning. Below the canal there were scores more barges for ships to tow.

The Danube can not begin to carry enough oil for the German machines. It is being supplemented therefore by every available route. Even the roundabout railroad from the oil fields which touches the river at Turnu-Severein before going north to Hungary has been brought into service. A few minutes ago between 40 and 50 tank cars passed through almost all were German cars fi-nm Karlsruhe, Cologne, Hamburg, and Berlin, and some sitll were painted with the names of big American oil companies. On a train bound in the opposite direction were several carloads of German light automobiles, mainly useless on Rumania's fearful roads but part of the bartership by which Germany must live.
