San IMeffo. Cal.. Feb. 27: Here is mora advice to any pros
pective travellers. If you wish to see the ponies run at Tijuana
start at sunrise. Otherwise you may never get there or if you
do, come back broke. Not that one might not come back that
way anyway, if disposed to play the races, but your transporta
tion costs might run things into a major financial disaster.
The war Is responsible. The war and ODT and OPA, and as
far as that goes the war rules and regulations are entirely right.
For Tijuana is a sink-hole ot iniquity anyway, ana witn norse-
racing? banned in the U. S. A., and the serious gas shortage, no
American gas should be spent on such vicious pursuits especially
when the profits go to the gamming trust or a loreign lano.
That d dn t prevent 13,000 or zu.uuu Americans irom attena-
in the races down there on Sunday however (they are only run
on that holy day which is set aside by all good Mexicans for
earlv mass, horse-races, cock-fights ana last Dut not least Dun
fights.) Also another jockey was killed. So the day must have
been a GREATER success than usual.
We would like to maintain a sense of duty and the higher
patriotism kept us away. But that would not be ENTIRELY ac
curate, for we felt the readers of the M. T. would be entitled to
be liven a Den-sketch of the wickedness of our bretheren south
of the Rio Grande. In the interest omy oi etnicai ana moiogicai
research.
However after finding one had to stand in line at least two
hours to catch a Greyhound bus running to Tijuana, or pay $14
for a taxi to the border and back, your correspondent arglc to
both decided to spend the afternoon in Balboa Park.
We did make the trip the next day (Monday). And 'thought of
course getting down there and back would be simple and cheap.
Well it. was the latter oo cents tor tne rouna trip, ana ou cents
from the border to the town and back. But even so we had to
stand in line for over an hour to get a bus, at which time we
discovered the Greyhound company is only allowed to run two
busses back and forth every 30 minutes by order of the gov
ernment. 1
Tijuana has not -changed much In the many years since our
last visit, it is still undoubtedly one of the most depraved hell
holes on the North American continent. The old wooden bridge
is just as much in need of repair with holes in it large enough
for a pig to fall through if not a taxlcab, and dirt, dust and debris
all over it as well as strewn along the river bed beneath. As one
Is bumped off the bridge on the other side, signs on the shacks
read in English like this: . .
"Attorney So and So," "Dr. So and So," "marriages performed
night or day," "divorces arranged, charges moderate,"
eee.ee
There is not, as in the old days, wide open gambling or if
there is we ran into none. Caesar's is now a hotel instead of a
side-street restaurant you can still get excellent wild duck but
no quail or pheasant at this season.
After lunching there we were informed by a fellow traveler,
the place to eat nowadays Is not Caesar's but near Milner's called
the "Mary Anna (The proprietress may know how to choose
foods but certainly not names!)
Another Innovation since World War I to get the $100 al
lowance for purchases duty free you must spend at least one
night In Tijuana. If you don't the free allowance is only $7.50.
(We tried to get the U. S. customs officer to explain the purpose
of that ruling but like most custom officers along the Mexican
border, he was a crabbed gent of few words and fewer manners.
We are still trying to figure it out on some basis other than con
tributing to the delinquency of grown-ups!
No waiting in tine to get back. But the way they pack these.
Tijuana busses is scandalous not only every seat but the aisle
jammed solid from front to back. We were lucky however to
get a seat, the only drawback being a large Mexican housewife
with a young baby as our neighbors the former overflowed on
one aide the latter yowled on the other. j.
Getting back to the good old U. S. Grant after two or three
hours In Tijuana was like getting back to the steam-heated vacuum
cleaned sun porch, after trying to mend a leak in the sewer in
the dark and non-ventilated basement. In fact we feel almost like
apologizing to that pink cheeked girl, plnch-hitting aa hotel
clerk. If we had to hotel clerk 14 miles from the Mexican border
no doubt we would hold the luggage ot any guest not paid up In
full in escrow) In fact this is a very good hotel in every way, we
even like the pale pink and grass-green papier mache decorations
in the corridors reminds us ot the "Chick House" in Rocktord,
111., in the early 80'sl
We thought we had seen some large planes before but none
to compare with these flying boats lumbering through the clear,
sun-kissed skies hereabouts. As the average mainliner might be
said to resemble a dragon-fly in the sky. these flvln boats re
semble well nourished pelicans. And they drop on the surface
oi me water sometning UKe pelicans with quite a thud and a
splash. We took a stroll down to the new WPA Civic Center on
the waterfront while a regular air show was going on, and one
ot the flying-liners landed near us It looks large in the sky
out at rest u manes tne average fishing tug look like a child's
toy it looms up over every other craft In the district.
Bbl ! being completed by Con
gress this week. This bill should
have been passed last fall. In
fact, it was passed by the House,
but ran into some controversial
problems In the Senate and died
with the end of the Congress.
Reintroduced immediately with
the opening of the 79th Congress,
the Senate cleared Its difficul
ties and passed the measure, and
it is mseting no trouble in the
House. It has been seven years
since a general river and harbor
bill has been enacted. Most of
the projects In this bill are or
post-war development. Included
in the bill are the following
amounts for Oregon projects:
Chetco River $ 190,000

If we are going to join in
every European argument tor
all time to come, as the Livadia
agreement provides, we have
stumbled at once upon a grave
defect in our diplomatic system
which will be the ruination of
our efforts.
We need advocates, local
champions in France and every
one of these countries, if our
cause is not to be lost. The Brit
ish are skilled, and at least
partly represented in most Euro
pean nations outside of Russia.
Already De Gaulle has prac
tically told us by his actions he
no longer considers us the world
leaders, and he has not treated
us like a major nation. If other
nations follow that line, in
truth we will not be a world
leader or a major Influence.
If these are harsh words, the
time for them Is now, not later
when our causa has failed from
these defects. .

SO also with Argentina. The

in the confident expectation

These tactics, before Mexico

At the roof of Argentine
diplomacy is the fact that the
British buy her goods; they have
bought the entire beef crop for
years, and thus they have an
economic hold on the nation.
wnich we do not have.
But we are not defenseless,
we have great strength else
where in Latin America. In the
end Argentina must come into
this realm in her own political
sen-interest.
This is the' most critical perl'
od of American diplomacy.
What we accomplish in the next
year or two will determine the
course of the world, perhaps for
generations. We can still win
the war and lose the peace.
Posey-tossing and money-giv
ing cannot buy the world in
its current revolutionary state,
Those are the counsels of weak
ness. Criticism, unless construc

is win and skill. ,
Letter From Washington
. , By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Member ei Congress From Oregon
CONGRESSIONAL REFORM
Lately countless words have
been written and numerous
speeches and radio commentator
broadcasts made on the jubject
of remodeling or streamlining or
strengthening Congress. I have
seen all ot those terms used
Then, last week a national maga
zine topped the whole thing off
by announcing a $10,000 annual
award for "the most popular
boy In school for the nest
member ot the House and the
best member of the Senate.
Obviously, Congress can be
Improved. I know of nothing in
government local, state or na
tlonal that Is not subject to
Improvement. I feel that Con
gressional leadership on both
sides ot the aisle Is well aware
of the need tor certain reforms
III Congressional organization
and procedure. For some time
there has been serious study on
this subject which will doubt
less result tn action dvrlng this
term -of Congress, But. In mv
opinion, the clamor and shouting
on the subject Is out of propor
tion and not consistent with the
facts. The trouble with our fed
eral government Is not due to
any mechanical failure Ip the
machinery of our Congress. The
trouble Is much deeper and more
fundamental than that.
The Congress reform move
ment obviously stems from
vague but universal dissatisfac
tion with the functioning of the
federal government establish
ment. Being the only one of the
three branches of our federal
a, item which operates entirely
In the open, with all ot Its pro
ceedings printed and its cham
bers and committee rooms open
to the public, it Is natural that
Congress should be the victim of
the manifestation ot public dis
satisfaction with government. It
is a natural whlpplng-hoy. What
has really hanpened is that
since 1933,' except for a com
paratively brief period last sea
sion, the Congress has been com
pletely dominated bv the execu
tive department It has not only
been a rubber stamp to the will
of the executive, but through
tne years since 1933, It has hand
ed over to the President so many
of its powers that the present
state of the legislative branch Is
one of near impotence. We are
llvli.g, to a la.-ge extent, under
a federal government by direc
tives Issued by the executive.
My dally mall reveals clearly
that this situation Is not general
ly understood. Congress Is blam
ed tor things done by the execu
tive things over which Con
gress has no longer any control
Simple changes In details of
procedure, reorganization of the
committee structure, or even In
creasing Congressional salaries
will moke no noticeable change
In the basic situation. The peo
ple may easily correct the fun
damental difficulties by electing
an Independent Congress which
will take back Its proper powers
and restore government by law
In place of government by execu
tive order,

RIVERS AND HARBORS
BILL, a The Rivers and Harbors
news
ment, both official and private.
Our delations with the stronger
small nations are being de
plored, the tactics of our state
department criticized and the
situation commonly described
as "a mess."
There havt been comments
dealing with Mr. Roosevelt's
personal spoofing of De Gaulle
In the past, and their rather ap
parent dislike for each other
or, in the case of Argentina,
criticism has come from men
like Mr. Sumner Welles, who
decry the Hull policy of stand
ing our ground against fascism
there as elsewhere, and who
want to kiss the Latins and toss
them posies in the form of our
money and economic favors,
a e e
WELL, we tried the kissing
game on De Gaulle, or rath
er Mr. Churchill did. Curchill
picked him off a refugee raft
and backed him to the extent
(I am informed although the
figure has never .been published)
ot $50,000,000. Churchill also
backed his grossly mismanaged
and wholly uninformed Initial
attack upon the Atlantic Afri
can coast.
When we liberated Paris with
American and British blood, De
Gaulle's first speech was an as
tonishing disclosure of his
thoughts, paying great tribute
to the French and acting almost
as if he and his followers had
freed France with some help
from the United States and the
British (mentioned in only one
paragraph, as I recall.)
With thousands of our dead
lying in the soil of the lowlands
and France, on the eve of the
Livadla conference, De Gaulle
went off to Moscow and made
what seemed to amount to a
separate deal with Stalin, later
publicly sulking because he was
not Invited to Livadia.

On the Edge of Motoyoma
Airfield No. 2, Iwo, Feb. 27
(U.R) The Japanese mortars and
artillery guns are looking right
down our throats.
They are up on a cliff beyond
the field, with perfect observa
tion and firing positions. And
they are making life a hell on
this field.
There is no cover for the ma
rines just shell holes and
the steady blast of mortar and
flat trajectory shells which
scream onto this edge. .
Under Jap Height.
Technically, the air field Is
ours, we have troops on the
far side to the north, but it lies
directly under the Japanese
high ground. -
The 3rd division marines
raced through a hail of mortar
and artillery to reach the north
side severaj days ago. But they
have been unable to get any
farther since because of the
Japanese guns on the cliff.
The field was one from which
the Japanese staged their me
dium bomber raids - on B-29
bases in the Marianas. Now it
was a desolate no-man's land,
almost beyond imagination. It
looks like a Hollywood battle
field. We cllmbecj up the' slope to
the southern edge this morning,
but a young captain, Lawrence
W. Cracroft, Salt Lake City,
Utah, asked us not to go any
farther.
Too Hot
"It's too hot, now. You could
have made it an hour ago when
we put up an artillery barrage,
but you can see how it is now,"
he said.
Mortar and big artillery
shells crashed into the field and
the warning wasn't necessary.
x Marines were carrying back
their dead buddies, tip-toeing
through minefields and winding
through the shambles of wreck
ed equipment both ours and
"the enemy's.
The 3rd marines are veteran
and top-notch fighters, but all
agree they never saw anything
like this fierce and bloody strug
gle.

Rom where I sit ... ly Joe Marsh
America Has its
Portrait Painted
Dan Mascon's cousin, an honest,
to-goodness artist, came to our
town. And when he heard we
were having a weenie roast, he
asked could he come and bring
his paints.
After he got through working
on his canvas ... he had as nice
a picture of os enjoying our.
aelres as yon coold ask for...
complete to the Last little detail
...from Molly Bortle's dimples
to the foam on Ed Carey's glass
of beer.
"I'm calling U portrait of
America," Dan's cousin says.
And from where I sit, ha
couldn't have a better title.
Whether It's a weenie roast in
our town or a square dance on a
Wisconsin farm, it's all a part ol
America-a part of our neigh
borllness, our love of fun and
pleasant living.
Because onr right to enjoy
temperate beverage like beer la
a part of onr American heritage
of personal freedom.
