IT'S NATIONAL DOG WEEK It is hard to figure any real necessity for setting aside a special week in honor of the canine population. The American purp already seems to have taken over the spotlight of public esteem, not to mention tolerance, the whole year around. Dogs manage to get more for less than any other species. The dog doesn't lay eggs, nor produce milk or wool. His hide isn't worth a hoot for shoes or suitcases. He learns, as a puppy, that all he needs do to win a human heart is wag his tail. After that he soft-soaps his easy way through life. He toils not, neither does he spin. He may get out and hunt all day—but only because he enjoys it. Whole industries exist to provide him with comforts and luxuries. Old horses never die—they just fade into canned dog food. There are pet hospitals for the dog’s ailments and battle wounds. There are even canine beauty parlors! The dog works the pliant human race to the limit. GIVE EVERY Give every sick every boy or girl the home life... Give every asked to consider the peri-erience a tremen-lation, more homes try. But perhaps t He learns, as a puppy, that all he needs do to win a human heart is wag his tail. After that he soft-soaps his easy way through life. He toils not, neither does he spin. He may get out and hunt all day—but only because he enjoys it. Whole industries exist to provide him with comforts and luxuries. Old horses never die—they just fade into canned dog food. There are pet hospitals for the dog's ailments and battle wounds. There are even canine beauty parlors! The dog works the pliant human race to the limit. He knows he has us on the hip. A hard-boiled truck driver, who will bawl out a jay-walking biped, will risk a wreck to avoid hitting a flea-bitten hound who is breaking every traffic law on the books. The dog is often lazy, selfish, jealous and inordinately demanding. At the same time, though, he is affectionate, forgiving and unswervingly loyal. Quite possibly the secret of his power is that he is so infernally human! That may be why there are more than 20 million dogs in this country, all of them, apparently, here to stay. PASS THE BISCUITS For generations, economists of a pessimistic turn have held a gloomy theory that humankind is inviting its own destruction by increasing in numbers at a greater rate than it can increase its food supplies. Overpopulation, the theory runs, brings hunger. Hunger brings revolutions and wars. Advances in medicine and sanitation victories over epidemics and so forth, are self-defeating, so far as human welfare goes. The more the people, the sooner famine for all will come. A sad business, surely! Yet pessimists, praise be, are sometimes wrong. Never has the globe's population experienced a mushroom growth to compare with that of the last few years. Nevertheless, the U N's Food and Agriculture Organization announced last week that world food production, for the first time since before World War II, has caught up with the growth of world population. Serious problems of distribution confront us. Some dinner plates are piled high whille others are pretty skimpy. But the stuff is there, if we can get it served around. For the time being, at least, those food pessimists can fret about something else. TAKE IT EASY, HARRY! It may have been that eastern heat wave, or it may have been the heady stimulus of a purely Democratic audience, that affected "give 'em hell" Harry Truman last week when he shouted in Chicago: "The Republicans) say they are for cutting taxes, but now they are considering adding a new tax—the worst possible of all taxes—a national sales tax to make the rich richer and the poor poorer to give every sick every boy or girl thirsty every home life...

It may have been that eastern heat wave, or it may have been the heady stimulus of a purely Democratic audience, that affected "give 'em hell" Harry Truman last week when he shouted in Chicago: "They (the Republicans) say they are for cutting taxes, but now they are considering adding a new tax—the worst possible of all taxes—a national sales tax to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, to give the money lenders and the rental property owners the whip hand." What could the man have been trying to say? Any tax of any nature—sales, income, property or whatnot—makes everybody who pays it just that much the poorer, whether he runs a bank or a rooming house or a farm or a fish market or works for wages. The idea that the act of paying a tax levy out of pocket can make a taxpayer richer baffles reason. It is like saying that five minus one leaves six. Must have been the heat. SONGS OF A SONNETEER BY R. LOU'S SCOTT "MASQUERADER" Night comes—and Beauty on the town descends, As lights come on along each avenue: Encroaching dusk a kindly glamor lends To all the garishness that day-time knew! The colors soften and the harsh lines fade While, one by one, bright gleaming pin-points strew The shadowed ways with azure and deep jade! The city primps—then dons her diadem— A wanton dressing, for a masquerade! The evening breezes chant the requiem For day's soon-passing: distant stars look down To where the lights come on—each one a gem To deck a fairy dancer's formal gown— And Beauty wakes to robe the tawdry town! PLUNGER'S READY RENEWED TILITES TNT RED CHINA SPIRIT OF AGGRESSION PERDAMER Othman's Views on Washington Street By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON—The advertising men in the television set business delight me. They have been gazing in awe at the 1954 model picture boxes and thinking hard. This has resulted in some magnificent inventions I doubt even an electronics engineer could understand. You interested in a set equipped with a genuine germanium diode? A cosmic eye chassis? A snap-in sabre jet tuner? Or maybe a genuine miracle interface? These are only the beginning of the wonders in store for the buyers of new television sets and there's only one thing worrying me: what are these advertising agents talking about? The chassis I understand. This is an aluminum article with maybe 20 odd tubes on top and a tangle of wires and condensers on the bottom; it fits in the cabinet beneath the picture tube. Looks like the innards of a radio, kind of. But the copy writers have come up with twin-powered chassis, exclusive dynapower chassis, all new super cascade long distance chassis, concentrated power chassis, new thunderbolt chassis and my favorite from reading about it—the exclusive powertronic chassis. I have no doubt that all these chassis are superb and it may be that somebody eventually will explain to me the difference between dynapower and powertronic. As a prospective buyer, I think I have the right to know. Picture tubes, which seem to be growing larger and come in several hues, including aluminized and black, are super-powered, diamondbrilliant double-powered, and are equipped with panoramic vision, a magnascope picture system, and deep dimensions. These things doubtless are to the good and will make Milton Berle look better than ever. I'm puzzled, is all. Let us not forget the true dimension picture, with automatic brightness control auto selector and three-way trol. The exclusive picture is not quit so mysterious shows a small soldier inside a vacuum tube, grim, but intelligent experts obviously he's in charge within the genuine, mahineet. Other sets now come with special multi-purpose but for what purposes meth. They also have mini locks, golden grids, high fidelity, golden pleats and patented pictron power. There are now robotic all-channel tuners, lift-ties, reflection barriers, personalized tone control pin-point focusesive directional, all-channels. This is just the beginn shall not burden you with developments in the arti son manufacture. The course, is not with the men, but with me. I'm all, and slightly stupid. I shall not sleep prop somebody tells me what acle interface and also pictron power unit. I have seen a picture ter in a magazine ad, be to me like a light bulb o box with spaghetti sticks sides. Obviously it is more than this and brighter, I wouldn't be ing. The 1954 models, in have been launched and rising agents momentarily for breath. Coming television and I await set what the experts do I fear the dictionary, or us, either, will be of lithe customer reading wonders of rainbows in room. (Copyright, 1963, By Utrecht Syndicate, Inc.) Give every sick child needed medical care... Give every boy or girl the opportunity to belong to the Scouts... Give every homeless child his chance for family home life... Give EVERY child a chance. That's the plea of Red Feather causes that you are asked to consider this year. Anaheim and the surrounding communities are experiencing a tremendous growth—measurable in population, more homes, and expanding business and industry. But perhaps the least known, but most significant phase of this growth, is the continuing and rapid increase in the number of children. Today, for instance, TWO children begin school for every child graduating from high school. TWO children are being born for every child reaching 15 years of age. Each year then more children need Community Chest—supported services. Deluged with sick, homeless and handicapped children and youngsters wanting to belong to youth groups, Red Feather agencies are waging a losing battle trying to keep service up with demand. To meet this demand—to help more children—they need MORE support. Faced with a financial squeeze and increased demands for service, Red Feather agencies enter a critical period. The infants ward at Children's Hospital never has an empty bed. The Visiting Nurses cannot cover their area. About 62 of every 100 youths are not reached by character building programs of Boy and Girl Scouts and other youth services. These are the critical conditions you can correct with a generous Community Chest contribution. Growing areas such as Anaheim, must meet their obligations to the child and youth population—the future citizens. Your Community Chest helps provide preventative medica care, thwart delinquency, and build a healthier and stronger community. Thousands of children and youth are helped every year. More could be helped so give EVERY child a chance by giving MORE this year. Your Birthday Forecast (BY STELLA) WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 23—Born today, you have tremendous charm and personal magnetism! This characteristic is very apt to push you along in life so fast that you reach early success with comparatively little effort. If you are to reach an outstanding fame, however, you will need to exert more than charm to get it! The stars have given you an abundance of latent talent. It is up to you to make the best possible use of it. You are, perhaps, a little too fond of the material pleasures of life to want to make the personal touch which are called for if it easy wins the long race. SCORRIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 23)—If at all possible, postpone any important business decision until a more propitious time. SAGITATARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 22) By planning far ahead, you will be able to make your schemes work out better and according to schedule. CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 29)—Salt away your best ideas. Get them ready to put into action, but delay starting until later on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) Plan to spend the evening with old friends. Make it a neighbor.

The David Lawrence Dispatch (BY DAVID LAWRENCE) WASHINGTON, Sept. 23—Is the biggest game of bluff in world history going on between Soviet Russia and the United States. The maneuvers look like it—and do the speeches emanating from Moscow and Washington through official spokesmen. Thus Andrei Vishinsky demands not only the prohibition of atom and hydrogen bombs but the demolition of all U.S. bases abroad—which would, of course, leave the Red army with its vast reserve of manpower, unaffected for use in conventional warfare. Secretary of the Navy Robert Anderson makes a speech saying he thinks the use of atom and hydrogen bombs will be neutralized as was chemical warfare and that, if war comes, it will be fought with conventional weapons. President Eisenhower makes a speech which, in the face of demands inside America for a balanced budget and tax reduction, sounds like he is trying to offset any impression abroad that civilian pressure for economy would be allowed to reduce the program for atomic armament and the means of carrying the new weapons to their targets. He says "no tax, no labor and no service" would be too hard to bear "to support a necessary and logical defense of our freedom." What is the meaning of these public axiances of viewpoint—this warfare by headlines? The game isn't being carried on just by official spokesman, either. There is a demand from scientists here and abroad that everything be published now—how to make atom and hydrogen bombs and the data on how many America has made already. This crusade against further secrecy has been taken up by a school of thought which thinks that if the Russians really knew how far ahead we are today on bombs—both quantitatively and qualitatively—they wouldn't try to start any wars. There's another school of thought, however, which thinks Soviet Russia is trying hard through every device of propaganda and infiltration into scientific circles to set America on distance brighter, I wouldn't be binging on television and I await what the experts do I fear the dictionary, or us, either, will be off-limits to the customer reading wonders of rainbows in room.

It is up to you to make the best possible use of it. You are, perhaps, a little too fond of the material pleasures of life to want to make the personal sacrifices which are called for if you are to climb to the top of the success ladder. Life is too pleasant to fit yourself into a rigid routine of dull, monotonous work! But you must remember that a certain amount of that is necessary, at times. You women are especially attractive to members of the opposite sex and will probably have a host of admirers from which to choose a marriage partner. However, once you have made your selection, you will settle down and make a first-class wife, mother and homemaker. You have a real gift for making a house a home and you enjoy entertaining there, rather than going out a great deal. Yet, beneath a seemingly very gay exterior, both you men and women have a deeply serious streak in your nature which makes you, at times, want to be alone with your own thoughts. Yet, being too much alone is ant to make you depressed, so avoid it. To find what the stars have in store for tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. Thursday, September 24 LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 2)—Follow the example of the tortoise rather than the hare, today. Slow and Ten Years Ago The mechanical walnut shaker, recently announced by the Farm advisor, was tested yesterday with growers from Irvine, Anaheim and Santa Ana. Anaheim recorded one of the hottest days of the season yesterday. The temperatures hit 98. John Ardaiz was elevated to the post of Loyal Knight for the Anaheim Elks, filling the position left vacant by Lloyd Verry, who has gone into the service. Richard Clowes has been named president of Toastmasters of this city. Donald Merle is the name of the son born to Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Bristol of West Chestnut St. at the Fullerton Cottage hospital last Tuesday. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)—If at all possible, postpone any important business decision until a more propitious time. SAGITATARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 22), By planning far ahead, you will be able to make your schemes work out better and according to schedule. CAPCORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20)—Salt away your best ideas. Get them ready to put into action, but delay starting until later on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)—Plan to spend the evening with old friends. Make it a neighborhood get-together, perhaps, at your own home. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)—There are plenty of bargains in town, but make sure you get good quality, as well! Shop around. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 29)—Best for you to postpone making any business decision just now. The trends will be more in your favor later on. TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21)—Perhaps you can be helpful to a friend. Reciprocate for a public kindness at this time, if possible. GEMINI (May 22-June 21)—One of those days when it's easier to scrape up an argument than keep the peace, but insist on peace! CANCER (June 22-July 23)—Perhaps it is your turn to entertain Invite guests to your house and return past favors. LEO (July 24-Aug. 23)—For you this is one of the best days this month. Get an important job done efficiently. Make real progress. MIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23)—Don't be extravagant with your material wealth; or with your emotions, either. Keep both under strict control. (Dis by Unit Feat. Syn. Inc) As It Was Told to Me by HARMAN NICHOLS MEMPHIS (UP)—It's better than television to watch a man and his missus inspect the new homes like they're doing here and elsewhere around the country during National Home Week. The first thing mama does is head for the kitchen. She does a double take over the sink and beams if she likes it and gives the owner some back talk if she doesn't. She pokes her rose into the oven of the stove. She gets on her tape measure to see if it's big enough for the Thanksgiving gobble. She wall thumps. Then she goes into the bathroom. She turns on the shower. She messes up the linen sopping up the mess. She looks over the powder table. Then she says "Looka here, Dad." Man In Basement. The old boy has disappeared. He's downstairs, looking at the pipes for the plumbing and having a hard time finding 'em, because in the year of 1953, they've mostly hidden. He's looking around the basement wondering where would be a good place to put the work bench, and to hook with the automatic washer that washes, dries. Mama could put place else. The owner is looking man not mama. There good salesman can handle the head of the family who picks up the tahk to convince him of his part of the piecked out a place who put a portable soft drink company and family unit for his new squirrel saw or knows he has a sale. The Right Priori Kemnons Wilson, who mong other things 100 years in this city of beauty gave me the low down. First off, he said, you find out whether the man Ford what he and his law "the rule of thumb," was and still is that a house should not be two or 2-1-2 times the usual income. And the ments should not be mere week's take home pay." Washington Scenes BK C. OTHMAN brightness control automatic area selector and three-way glare control. The exclusive picture sentry is not quit so mysterious. The ad shows a small soldier in a blue suit inside a vacuum tube. He has a grim, but intelligent expression and obviously he's in charge of things within the genuine, mahogany cabinet. Other sets now come equipped with special multi-purpose tubes, but for what purposes no man sayeth. They also have miracle power locks, golden grids, full fidelity, high fidelity, golden picture frames, and patented pictron power units. There are now robot one-knot all-channel tuners, lift-time focuses, reflection barriers, haloights, personalised tone controls, permanent pin-point focuses and exclusive directional, all-channel built-in serials. This is just the beginning, but I shall not burden you with further developments in the art of television manufacture. The trouble of course, is not with the advertising men, but with me. I'm ignorant, is all, and slightly stupid. Even so, I shall not sleep properly until somebody tells me what is a miracle interface and also a patented pictron power unit. I have seen a picture of this latter in a magazine ad, but it looks to me like a light bulb on top of a box with spaghetti sticking out the sides. Obviously it is something more than this and if I were brighter, I wouldn't be complaining. The 1954 models, in any event, have been launched and the advertising agents momentarily are gasping for breath. Coming up is color television and I await with interest what the experts do with that. I fear the dictionary, or a thesaurus, either, will be of little help to the customer reading about the wonders of rainbows in the living room. (Copyright, 1963, By United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

(Copyright, 1963, By United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) **Evidence Dispatch** **LAWRENCE)** cernments to beg. for a peaceful course, even if it savors of appeasement. The demand for admission of Red China into the UN is widespread in Europe because of a belief that this will immediately cause Soviet Russia to become peaceful or "reduce tension." But, as the Vishkishi speech has already indicated, Soviet Russia isn't going to be satisfied by a settlement of Far Eastern questions. She dehands also the dissolution of the North Atlantic Treaty organization and the scraping of the European defense army idea. Looking at the other side of the picture, there is no doubt that Moscow knows of the power of the American air forces — both those bombers which would fly from overseas bases the moment war was declared and those that would fly from the decks of aircraft carriers whose location the Soviet cannot know, because these ships move around constantly and still keep within striking distance of the Russian heartland. Theoretically, enemy bombs could destroy fixed land bases in Europe and if precious bombs were to be wasted on movable targets, they could destroy aircraft carriers, too. But defense planners aren't discussed by such contingencies—these become merely "calculated risks." America's program of a quick realization by airplanes and mines is still the most powerful threat ever conceived by the mind of man against an enemy power—and the Soviets know it. This threat of realization, moreover, can be maintained now by a reasonable expenditure annually without breaking up the American economy. The budget can be balanced at the same time that the game of bluff and counterbluff goes on for years with no actual war, for the simple reason that no people anywhere will sanction an offensive war. That's why the Soviets figure they can infiltrate America as they have Italy, France and Britain. They think they can get concessions from governments and cabinets that are bluffed by a Russian threat.

United Press Foreign Analyst The French government has been the frequent target of charges that, figuratively, it fiddles while Rome burns. Two bits of evidence to the contrary, accumulated in the last week, now may be reported. They are: 1. President Vincent Auriol discontinued recognition of the President and Vice President of the principality of Andorra. 2. Premier Joseph Laniel approved some 50 decrees aimed at making life simpler for the average Frenchman and visitors by eliminating what the French call "paperasse," or red tape. Not that all the red tape has been eliminated. And goodness only knows what will happen now in French and Andorran relations. Andorran Crisis Andorran and French relations reached a crisis when Andorra recently refused France permission to build a radio station in the principality. The French retaliated by slapping them is a bachelor. The decrees also provide that local prefects can act on their own if, on questions referred to Paris, the government has not acted within two months. Which gives an idea of how long it has taken pendulence annually without breaking up the American economy. The budget can be balanced at the same time that the game of bluff and counterbluff goes on for years with no actual war, for the simple reason that no people anywhere will sanction an offensive war. That's why the Soviets figure they can infiltrate America as they have Italy, France and Britain. They think they can get concessions from governments and cabinets that are bluffed by a Russian threat. Complacency on the "infiltration front" is growing in America and in many countries also where the cold war is spreading through exploitation of local issues. That's the bloodless way by which the Soviets mean to achieve domination of the governments of the free world—and along with it, America's disarmament, which is their real objective.

If he is satisfied with his part of the house, has picked out a place where he can put a portable soft drink stand for company and family use and a spot for his new squirrel saw, the builder knows he has a sale—maybe. The Right Price. Kemmons Wilson, who built among other things 100 houses last year in this city of beautiful homes, gave me the low down. First off, he said, you have to find out whether the man can afford what he and his lady want. "The rule of thumb," Wilson said, "was and still is that the price of a house should not be more than two or 2 1/2 times the owner's annual income. And the monthly payments should not be more than a week's take home pay."
