Triple Indemnity Everybody makes mistakes — and it seems now that the California logging industry really laid an egg some weeks back when its leaders requested Goodwin Knight, who was acting Governor at the time, to make a survey on the costs of highway maintenance over the State. The background for that request is interesting. It was made about the time there was public furor over the "parkdown" strike of logging truck drivers, who left their trucks beside the highway rather than remove the overloads they were carrying. Farther in the background lie efforts of the logging industry, made over the years, to persuade the legislature to relax the legal weight limitations on highway transportation. Mr. Knight obliged the industry by asking the highway department to make the survey. Last week the returns came in: The average cost of highway Some day the head carry a blaring headline property damage caused and no doubt those invast fast moving truck, a pair trians.

Farther in the background lie efforts of the logging industry, made over the years, to persuade the legislature to relax the legal weight limitations on highway transportation. Mr. Knight obliged the industry by asking the highway department to make the survey. Last week the returns came in: The average cost of highway maintenance throughout the State is $591 per mile per year. But in the three north coast counties where the logging trucks center operations, the maintenance expense is $1526 per mile per year—almost three times the State average! And so, with the motoring public already under a triple indemnity of taxation to keep up roadways for the logging truckers, the chance of getting the legal load limit increased would seem slim indeed! The evidence plainly indicates the contrary course—a tightening, rather than an easing, of present load limitations. Goodwin J. Knight, American There was a solemn hush over the crowded assembly room of the Los Angeles State Building when Goodwin J. Knight, taking the oath of office as Governor of the Nation's greatest State, swore that he would defend the Federal and State Constitutions "against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Yet it seemed an incongruous thing—a thing unreal—that the circumstances of these strange times required Goodwin Knight, American and patriot, also to make solemn oath that he does not advocate the violent overthrow of the Government, that he has not within five years belonged to any organization advocating such subversion while he holds office! Goodwin Knight would be the last person to object to taking such an oath, as some individuals have objected, on the ground that it is "injurious to personal dignity" or "smacks of thought control." Yet the oath was never less required than in the case of California's intensely patriotic new Governor. Advice From a Lawmaker The Midwest constituents of Bailey Merrill, Indiana congressman, have just received a gem of political advice that voters everywhere might profit by—what with the crucial general election ahead for '54. Replying to indignant complaints that many of the lawmakers make fools of themselves by wasting the taxpayers' money on pleasure junkets when they should be tending to the Nation's business, Mr. Merrill offered this counsel: "Just don't send a fool to Congress".

Squeezing Orange County The most cawtious character in Placentia is Joe, 4771 Carolina Ave. One day last summer he went for Wint Nickles working in the grove, who clipped his ebony wings and set him up (or down) in a grounded rabbit hutch, swinging door. Joe took one night out and since has spent every night and most of the day just sitting at home alone with his watermelon. He says, "I ain't ready to crowke." HEY, KIT CARSON! GUERNSEY, Wyo. (P)—That famous explorer and guide, Kit Carson, would be unhappy about this. C. A. McGillen of Anderson, Ida., a grandson of the frontiersman, was inspecting the area around Fort Laramie, Wyo., checking a route once traveled by Carson. McGillen got lost, his auto stuck in the sand and he had to search for help to pull out the car. SONGS OF A SONNETEER BY R. LOUIS SCOTT "KALI YUGA!" This is that heralded Age of Darkness, When blindness and delusion overspreads The sight of men! When Fear, in its starkness, Misguides their feet and turns their peering heads Toward false gods! When Dread, the mate of Doubt, And all their myriad offspring stretch threads To trip and tangle: when the teachers flout The Elder Laws—and from their mental wombs— Evoke heresies we could well do without! And yet, beyond the shadows—and the tombs— There waits a gleam to which our minds are drawn Irresistibly: a something, which looms In majesty over statesman and pawn— Against the background of—God's Promised Dawn! OM—Page 321—Talbot Mundy Promise—20/06 KNOCKOUT DROPS Othman's Views on Washington Scenes By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B. W. L. This town has a gorgeous, Christmas may odor. It smells of spices, sugar, and rum, like a plum pudding and a real pleasure it is, except for Geoffrey Dodd, to breathe deeply. The odor makes him wince. It always reminds him of the bees. Dodd is the white-haired and scholarly manager of Grace, Kennedy and Co., the local shipping agents. When he learned that I was in the news business, he remarked that the really interesting stuff, like his bout with the bees, seldom got into the print. He said consider the 1951 hurricane that flattened Kingston. The papers everywhere told about the big wind and its devastation, but said not one word the following day about the bees. They were worse than the breeze. "I was sitting here in the warehouse on Harbour street," he continued, "with all windows sealed and doors closed against the torrential rains. Inside we had 12,000 tons of sugar in sacks, waiting shipment. The wind hit. "Our tin roof sailed away like a rattling kite and in a matter of hours 17 inches of rain fell on that sugar. The sacks flattened out one by one until our establishment was floating waist deep in simple syrup. "The sun came out hot. In another few hours the syrup had turned to the consistency of glue and it was oozing through the cracks in the floor, spreading out on the street, slowing up traffic, and creating probably the greatest single mess in the history of the Caribbean." Dodd by now was so plentifully dabbed with syrup that he resembled a piece of salt-water taffy with eyes. All his helpers looked like animated candy sticks in the middle of a sugary sea three feet deep and on the verge of solidification. In the midst of this crisis he reached for the telephone (which stuck to his hands and adhered to his sugar right ear) to recruit retail. As far as Dodd is concerned these beautiful aromas go in nostril and out the other. He can look out his window and a few bees hurling in the rafters. We'd been too close to it long to notice the odor," he added. "But the smell of syrup wafted the Trade Winds across this island as far as Montego Bay. The wrinkled their noses, sniffed, beaded unerringly for an easy foothold in Kingston. In a matter of hours every bee in Jamaica was here. Grace, Kennedy and Company there were millions of 'em. Bill maybe." Dodd shuddered at the memoir. He said these were broad-mile bees. They'd as soon eat sugar as his face as from the top of desk. They covered the handle the tools and made living beehive on the faces of the workers. This further impeded progress. "The bees were in good humour." Dodd said. "Wherever they lost sugar. But they also went tent upon getting it without interference. Squeeze one of them mistake, or try to brush one your sweetened nose and you stung." This caused probably this labor slowdown there ever was management's urging. A few stings, Dodd figured, and he'd no laborers at any price. So ordered them to work as slowly possible and with great gentleness so as not to irritate the bees. Scene for some weeks there resembled a slow-motion movie. Dodd finally got a new rooftop years have passed. His warmth is full of sugar again. But let me come a torpical shower, as did today, and the planks inside dock ooze syrup, which sucks pedestrian's shoes. The smells wet and sweet, with overtones from the distillery of Wray and Nephew, Ltd., where one of the best Jamaica rum costs retail. As far as Dodd is concerned these beautiful aromas go in nostril and out the other. He can look out his window and a few bees hurling in the rafters. Some day the headlines of this newspaper will say a blaring headline telling of numerable deaths and property damage caused by an accident on Center Street, no doubt those involved in the accident will be moving truck, a passenger car and innocent pedestrians. For years those living or doing business along Cent Street have attempted to have all through truck traffic routed onto an alternate route, but each time the exe-ience was given that Center Street was a State Highway. Was further contended that until the City could offer alternate route nothing could be done about truck traffic. Not too long ago an announcement was made that Center Street belonged to the City, it was no longer a State Highway. Just prior to this announcement Orgethorpe was opened and a new bridge built over the Santa Ana River connecting this thorofare with the Santa Ana Canyon Freeway. With this news the citizens of Anaheim breathed a sigh of relief in the belief that now Center Street would become a normal business thorofare; what has opened, nothing; today the number of trucks has increased, not lessened. John C. Fremont Junior High School has found it mandatory to "close" their campus during lunch hours in the purpose of protecting the children in their custo-m not allowing them to leave the campus for fear of a real accident due to the increased traffic. According to past excuses there is no reason why Center Street must continue to be a truck raceway, Orgethorpe has been completed and can be used as an alternate and the street itself belongs to the city. It is too bad that public administrators find it necessary to act only when public pressure becomes too great for comfort or an incident such as a traffic catastrophe strikes them to action. But, the traffic conditions on Center Street must be changed. City Sidelights by SPURGEON SPARKS Members of the Anaheim Elec-tory school board are to be discharged. Claude Owens, the capable chairman of the committee, issued a final summation of the committee's findings to Chamber board members in which the special fact-finding recommendations; Anaheim needs a hospital to serve the area in addition to the proposed St. Jude hospital for North Fullerton. They also recommend that the support from the local Chamber be given exclusively to the Mother Colony Hospital Association. This is a strong stand and one that will meet with instant approval of all interested citizens who know the dire need for ade-ments on Center Street, slowing up traffic, and creating probably the greatest single mess in the history of the Caribbean." Dodd finally got a new roof, years have passed. His warehouses are full of sugar again. But let me come a torical shower, as did today, and the planks in dock oze syrup, which sucks pedestrian's shoes. The smells wet and sweet, with overtones from the distillery of Wray and Nephew, Ltd., where of the best Jamaica rum costumes. As far as Dodd is concerned these beautiful aromas go into nostril and out the other. He can look out his window and a few bees lurking in the rafters. Manager Dodd obviously is in this tale may be a little late, it still is news and I trust that never gets stung again. (Copyright, 1953, By United Ture Syndicate, Inc.) Majority of the department heads of Anaheim city hall are planning to attend the annual conference of the League of Municipalities to be held Sunday. Although he had planned to attend, City Administrator Keith Murdock is cancelling his trip so that he may be present next Tuesday before Supervisors of Orange County, in reviewing a plea for action on food control in Anaheim. Administrator Murdock will request the County's participation in the construction of an engineered water channel through the Northern portion of the city. He will also stress the need for haste in this project—to anticipate possible heavy rains and floods which bring damage to commercial and residential sections of Anaheim. His demands will be based on survey recently completed by Harrison and Wolley of Santa Ana, retained by the city and county for that purpose. Since Murdock hasn't yet learned the meaning of the word "no," we believe he will make his point before the Board. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Hospital Committee has issued a final report concerning the real hospital situation and now If It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin They also recommend that the support from the local Chamber be given exclusively to the Mother Colony Hospital Association. This is a strong stand and one that will meet with instant approval of all interested citizens who know the dire need for adequate hospital facilities in this region. The local hospital committee is to be commended for their work and their stand. Attorney General Edmund (Pat) Brown was quoted this week as saying he might enter the race for Governor in the Decomeratic ranks. We hasten to remind those skeptics of Pat's future intentions, that we mentioned that turn of events some two weeks ago.

Anaheim's right-hander who finished the major league baseball season with the Brooklyn Dodgers, pitched six innings at Fullerton yesterday in a game with the Northrop Bombers. Talking with Marshal Tito and his associates, I was doubtful that they were definitely anti-Soviet. Most of those doubts have disappeared. Marshal Tito may be pro-Communist but he has always been a Yugoslav patriot violently opposed to Russian dictation. As early as May, 1945, Tito said: "We demand that everyone be master in his own house. We do not want to pay other people's bills." Vladimir Dedijer, Tito's friend and was passively accepted though not agreed then on a governor for the Free Territory. Britain and the United States, with French consent, sent troopers to take over the city of Trieste and as much surrounding territory as could be saved from the Yugoslavs. That is the present zone A which we now propose to turn over to Italy for administrative purposes. We don't give it to Italy because it's not ours to give. But we and Britain have better use for our soldiers than to keep them in Trieste as garrison troops. Since Yugoslavia garrisons zone B, why shouldn't Italian troops garrison zone A? Putting both sides on an even basis might even advance a final settlement which everyone concerned would accept. Marshal Tito's loud remonstrance is for the record. Dictators must talk big to retain their prestige. He has already conceded the City of Trieste to Italy and he told me three years ago he was ready to negotiate a settlement of the entire problem with Italy. ONE MIGHT THINK that the simplest way to settle the issue would be by a plebiscite of the population. This would mean that the city of Trieste and most of the coastal areas would vote Italian. But it is doubtful that all the Yugoslavs would vote to join Yugoslavia. While I was in the Trieste area three years ago, Yugoslavia on the Trieste border were allowed to cross into Italy one Sunday to shop and visit relatives. Hundreds of them did not return. Those who did go back described Italy as a kind of paradise. Ever since, we have read of Yugoslavias escaping to Italy. Those who now fear that the Trieste dispute will bring a reconciliation between Marshal Tito and the Soviet regime fail to realize how deep a rift there is between them. Before going to Yugoslavia and talking with Marshal Tito and his associates, I was doubtful that they were definitely anti-Soviet. Most of those doubts have disappeared. Marshal Tito may be pro-Communist but he has always been a Yugoslav patriot violently opposed to Russian dictation. As early as May, 1945, Tito said: "We demand that everyone be master in his own house. We do not want to pay other people's bills."

Washington Scenes Your Birthday Forecast (BY STELLA) SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 — Born today, the stars predict a brilliantly successful future for you if you will only develop the talents which are your right. You have a mind beyond the average and artistic gifts in music, literature and the arts. Just don't spread your talents over too wide an area for you will discover that you are not winning out-standing recognition in any one special field. Once you have made your decision on a career plan ahead and then follow your schedule. You too, must guard against being imposed upon, for you are so good natured, generous and understanding that you are always ready to help anyone who is less fortunate when you are. If you would put the same effort into helping yourself that you put into assisting others, you would be much further along in your progress toward material success and fame. You have the ability to work very hard at some objective, but it is usually by "fits and starts". Your first enthusiasm starts you off at a terrific rate but as you near the goal, your interest is apt to lag—and so does your industriousness. Equalize your energies and you will stabilize your production. Extremely attractive to members of the opposite sex, you will have many opportunities to wed. Don't make your selection in too much of a hurry or you will live to regret it. Find someone who shares your cultural tastes and who can sympathize with your hopes and encourage you in your ambitions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20) — If As It Was Told to Me by HARMAN NICHOLS WASHINGTON — The man who rescued the Homburg, President Eisenhower, has been named the best-hatted man in the world. Harry Rolnick, chairman of a hat committee down in Garland, Tex., placed our new President on top of the topper parade and sent his predecessor, HST, from first place as of last year down to fifth fifth. According to the committee, Mr. Eisenhower came in first for a number of reasons. Not the least important of these was the fact that he forced the first change in hat fashion since the beret and the 12½ gallon numbers you are bound to see on a visit to the Southwest. Mr. Eisenhower, you may recall, is a hater of the silk top hat. Instead he chose a black homburg for his inaugural parade. The hat capability for sustained effort. Monday, October 19 LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) — Make full use of all your pep and energy to get an important job completed to the very best of your capabilities.

It seems easier then. VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23) — Utilize your initiative and make plans for future work and you will find that you profit a great deal. (Distributed by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) WATER FOR INCREASING DICTION between South Korea and Japan. These two traditional emblems are once more quarrelling about fishing rights. The Koreans garge that Japanese fishermen are encroaching on Korean territorial waters. During the hostilities we controlled these waters and thus minimized friction. The Koreans don't like the fact that so much of the money we spending to rehabilitate Korea says Japanese products such as fertilisers, fertilizers and minerals. the Koreans admit their great need for these materials but wish that they could get this relief without helping to build up Japanese trade rals. THE PRODUCTION of illegal lottery liquor continues to increase. Treasury Department agents used 10,007 stills during the fiscal year which ended in June 1953. This presented a four per cent increase over the preceding year. Many thousand more stills continue to operate undetected. The high rate of taxation on liquor makes illegal production a profitable business. PRESIDENT EISENHOWER resumes to lend his support to the current hysterical fear campaign about atomic attack. He does not believe we should spend billions in vain effort to build defense which must guarantee security and which may never be needed. In the last war the British rerolled the great German air attacks not by defensive measures but by the courage and brilliant offensive tactics of the Royal Air Force.
