Land of the maritime commission charged today that ‘‘infernal agitation" among shipyard workers and delays in deliveries of steel plate are retarding the shipbuilding program ‘‘This infernal agitation is going around in everybody’s head about whether it should be a closed or Melvyn Douglas at OCD Office Again To Live Up Talent WASHINGTON. April 23 <UP' Melvyn Douglas, screen star whose appointment to a Post in the office of civilian defense precipitated a bitter congressional fight, was back at the OLD headquarters today mapping plans for the best use of the nation's entertainment talent in the war effort. Douglas will continue to serve without compensation. His original appointment had been rumored to carry an $5,000 a year salary but this was revealed subsequently to be erroneous. Douglas returned to Hollywood early this year to fulfill film commitments, after serving at the OLD headquarters here a short time. Douglas said today he may have to return to the west coast for another picture in about three months. He said he favors changing the name of his section of CODE — now known as the arts council — to the section of writers, radio actors and artists. He proposed also that communities be encouraged to draw on local talent wherever possible for local rallies, thus easing the burden on "big name" theatrical and radio stars. Douglas said his section will try to furnish talent for other agencies of the government but will not attempt to furnish talent for Army camp entertainment unless specifically requested to do so. This work, he explained, is properly a function of the united service organizations.

All other towns in the valley with troops except Brawley and Imperial have completed their drives. The Brawley campaign is now underway. Doctors Advise Pasteurizing Milk Pasteurization of all milk sold to the general public in Imperial county was recommended Thursday by the Imperial County Medical Association. The recommendation was in the form of a resolution adopted Tuesday night by members of the association at their regular meeting, where Dr. L.C. House had presented a paper dealing with the subject of undoubted fever, a malady transmitted through raw milk. Another discussion at the meeting was Dr. E.B. Godfrey's discourse on typhus fever in Asia Minor during the first World War. It was a subject of prime interest to the medical association members because of the possibility of repetition in this war of the experiences of the last with typhus. Phone 300 open shop, or whether they should join this or that union." Land told the senate committee investigating the war program. He called for "stabilization of labor relations—sometimes known as freezing relations." When he asserted that the shipbuilding program could be 50 percent ahead of present production, Sen. Harold H. Burton, R.O., asked whether "loafing" was responsible for the lag. "It certainly has a bearing on it," Land replied. "One of my pet directors, Directors, will be nominated." A committee to nominate candidates for eight El Centro chamber of commerce will be appointed. Directorships were elected at a meeting of the chamber at Barbara Worth hotel Wednesday. The committee members: Roy Womack, Herbert Anderson, H. W. Fawcett, Leo Hetzcl and Steve Harris. The nominating committee will meet next Thursday and select 16 names from the roster, following U. S. Forest Fire Funds Slashed WASHINGTON, April 17—(UP)—Sen. H. T. Bone, D. Wash., said today he would support efforts to obtain additional funds for fighting forest fires to replace those stricken by conferees from the pending supplemental war appropriation. Western senators were instrumental in getting the senate appropriations committee to increase from $2,000,000 to $1,500,000 the amount in the bill for forest fire fighting. Conferees reduced the amount to $5,000,000. "This appropriation is absolutely vital," Bone said, "and $5,000,000 would be utterly inadequate.

Among other matters discussed at Wednesday’s meeting was the campaign to enlist blood donors in the war effort. The drive, it was agreed, has bogged down with only a smattering of women and very few men responding, despite the dual benefits derived from the move. It was pointed out that donors not only make a patriotic contribution by offering their blood, but actually contribute to their own safety. At the time of giving blood, the donor receives a card showing his blood type, which might be carried on his person against the possibility of injury requiring a transfusion. Anyone wishing to give blood may do so between the hours of 5 and 7 p.m. each Tuesday in the health office at the courthouse.

Stewart, commanding officer at Camp Seeley, Thursday explained why Army officials are anxious for men in the service to receive many long letters from their families and friends and how the letters must be addressed to avoid delay. "Everyone in the Army believes," he said, "that next to good food, the receipt of mail has the most important effect upon morale of troops wherever they are stationed." He said the writers often will have to write to an Army Post Office number in the United States rather than to a specified foreign address even though the men are in foreign service, because the location of troops overseas is a military secret.

If family and friends of service men realize that the mail will go through if addressed correctly. INCLUDE HANK "Be certain to include the grade of the man when addressing mail," Col. Stewart said "Be certain to write the man's grade, such as Corporal or Private or whatever it is, before his full name. Then add his Army serial number if you have it. Then write the designation of his organization, Company B, 373rd Infantry, or whatever it is. Then instead of listing the city, state or county where you think the man may be, you simply include the Army Post Office number. When ready to leave this country, every soldier is told what the Army Post Office number is and what city in the United States his mail will clear through. Each man is given this information and told to send it to his family and friends." THE CAN TELL Col. Stewart said the soldier must not mention the foreign country to which he is going. The writer's name and return address should be written in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope, leaving plenty of space on the face of the envelope for postal authorities to make their notations.
