In Tucson there were only one or two nice, warm days. In Palm Springs in about the same length of time, there has been only one day that has not been "nice and warm." If that be treason make the most of It, it Is also the truth for the year 19461 The annual golf tournament has Just ended here. We met "Maury" Spatz on the golf course, he and Mrs. Spatz are spend ing the winter in nearby Riverside, where Mr. and Mrs. G. Thorn dike wintered a year ago. Every golf tournament Is a great golf lesson, but few profit by It. The tournament here was won by a slim, poker-faced Indi vidual from Los Angeles by the name of Hannan, over a large muscular and very attractive young man from Seattle by the unusual name of Civan. One of the close contenders was a young man from Chaffey college who perhaps weighs 133 pounds In his underclothes by the name of Springer. So what? Just this: This freshman Springer, for example, wouldn't last 20 seconds In the ring with Joe Louis; but In any golf match with the heavy weight champ he would make a monkey out of the Chicago negro. The same with Hannan. So muscular prowess Is not comes to good golf. (G.

At different times we saw both of them play and without hesitation if asked for our verdict regarding them, we would say this: Bob Hope is a VERY good golf player, and a good sport. Jack Benny is a very POOR golf player and a poor sport. We would only add this: It Is, much easier for a good golf-player to be a good sport than for a poor onel Palm Springs is booming, and we believe with good reason.

On that trip above noted we paratively few people have done, of the Salton Sea and waded in it. It wasn't a warm day, it was a hot one, and even more surprising, rather humid. (The rains on the coast were perhaps responsible.) Out a few rods from shore was a delapldated dock of some Mexico, and that lake-stop on the motor trip from Mexico City to Guadalajara. But there were no fishermen about here, in fact, there was no' ono in sight and no life evident in the salty water or above it. But the water felt good, and we were a bit refreshed. Returning to the highway station it was about three miles coke." One of the "older gals" appearance of the place she said she took It easy every Monday and refused to clean up. Wo asked about the dock and if there were any fish In the lake. Sho could throw no light on the former; as to the latter she claimed there were "lots of fish but they wouldn't bite," she didn't know the reason exactly but thought It was they had no teeth, they were of, we quote: me macneroi or sucKer type!" The "older gal" opened another bottle nr brwr n wp lnft and rolled a fresh clguret. She added the "old man" had gone to El Centro to get some "washers." (Monday was apparently "washer" not "wash" day In this section of Imperial county). e Now we hope Judge Bob Sawyer of Bend If he reads this, won't "call" us on that plscnlorial statement of the service-station proprietress, and prove (by the record) there are no suckers In the Salton Sea and the sucker anyway, Is no relation to the mackerel.

That was the Inspiring saga of getting water Into the Imperial Valley and making that section of the rose.

" organizer, importer of the sit-down strike technique, rich mine union chieftain, now re turned to the executive council of A. F. of L has a large re spect In the rank and file on all union sides, where he is rather generally conceded to be the smartest man In the union movement. Whether one big union under Lewis would furnish any im provement Is not the decisive point of the matter. Certainly one union would present great er power than the now divided house. Furthermore, Lewis has established, ir. his career, a na tional respect as a trustworths man. He might be able to es tablish union responsibility. The personality of any man with leadership powers can be a great er influence than legislation. But the call for a change must arise not from these cir cumstances, but from the union membership, if It is to be effec tive. Developments at hand will determine the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the men with the current course of events. TIk development ot the striking power to att mic proportions has inspired excited inner sug gestions, meanwhile. a . e a TP WO separate persons have asked me If Mr. Truman could be impeached. They thought him responsible for the current co n dj 1 1 o n, on this ground: His former economic stabi lizer was quoted as saying be fore the strike wave started. that wages could be Increased 50 per cent without a price in crease which was an Invitation tn thp nntnna tn make excessive demands. His Initial wage In crease program is supposed to have tolled for a 20 oer cent in crease In wages, but he eliminat ed the figure from his speech. upon the objections by economic advisers at the last moment. However, the unions knew the figure had been in the speech and acted accordingly. My answer to these Inquiries was that Mr. Truman could be impeached but will not be.

At present a majority of democrats in congress are hold ing out against union control, but unable to effectuate any af firmative legislative action. If they asserted leadership they could hold the political activi ties of the unions within their grasp, and establish their own political control. a a e 1I7HAT has happened in . the ' last few weeks Is that the unions have displayed their de velopment of the strike weapon to atomic proportions. By strikes against food, fuel and public service, they have shown a pow er of destruction of life as thorough as the atomic bomb. As long as any agent has such power he will naturally some day be expected to use it. No power ever leng exists unused. People are frightened. They were so frightened of the atomic bomb they wished to outlaw it into international control. They will not long allow the power of economic destruction to re main over thtm without simi larly outlawing or controlling it This is the simple problem to be met.
