Johnson of Texas, are to be commended for their bi-partisan leadership in sponsoring legislation to preclude a $5 monthly cut in aid to old age pensioners and to handicapped and needy children. Existing Federal law has provided for a temporary Federal payment of $35 per aided person to supplement the State aid, but this payment will be cut to $30 automatically next September 30. This cut would mean a reduction from $80 to $75 a month for every senior citizen on pension in California. Senators Kuchel and Johnson are co-sponsoring a bill to continue the $35 Federal aid for two more years.

Existing Federal law has provided for a temporary Federal payment of $35 per aided person to supplement the State aid, but this payment will be cut to $30 automatically next September 30. This cut would mean a reduction from $80 to $75 a month for every senior citizen on pension in California. Senators Kuchel and Johnson are co-sponsoring a bill to continue the $35 Federal aid for two more years. "If the people of California," Senator Kuchel has declared, "were required to assume the burden which would result from the failure of Congress to continue the present Social Security laws, it would be difficult not only for the recipients but also for the 12 million people of my State." Certainly, as Senator Kuchel implies, this is neither a time to cut pensions, every penny of which is needed by the recipients — nor is it a time to increase the cost burden paid by the people of California. In this regard, Senator Kuchel's action has another virtue — for it cannot but enforce the warnings so many responsible civic organizations have voiced against an Internal threat to the stability of California's Social Security aid program that must be met at the November election. This is the latest George H. McLain scheme, which arbitrarily would fix old-age pensions at $100 a month, without regard or responsibility for the financial catastrophe experts warn would ensue. Senator Kuchel is doing his part in Washington toward protecting California's share of the Federal funds. The people of California can protest our excellent pension system from inroads at home by rejecting once again — a McLain measure when they go to the polls the 2nd of next November. Just as Our Ad Man Says They held one of those "crazy day" sales at a St. Petersburg, Fla., retail store the other day — advertising some items at ridiculous prices. Power lawn mowers went at 99 cents and coffee at 29 cents a pound. The store was stormed by such a crowd that people got hurt, cops were called to restore order, and clerks threw the bargain coffee in the air to keep from being trampled in the melee. That sort of thing is dangerous and foolhardy, to say the least, and we wouldn't want it in our town. But it sure proves what our ad man always says — advertising does get results!

To wrap all earth in folds of turgid mist More nauseous than memories of sin Long since committed: phantoms writhe and twist Eager, and yet reluctant to be seen By mundane eyes! One scence would dare to list The wan monstrosities which lurk to wean Living souls from bodies in which they dwell—For purposes unorthodox—unclean! Despite the might of talisman or spell, Where fear goes—there fog phantoms also steer; Set courage in your mind for sentinel And start each day with a trust so sincere That grim fog demons dare not interfere! The foggiest day in twenty-five years Folklore—14/28 Carmine Gallone is the director of two of the forthcoming films "The House of Ricordi," concerns the famous music lisher, and "Casta Diva," composer Vincenzo Bellini. Jone recently completed "Leria Rusticana," starring An Quinn. Then there's another movie coming up, titled "The of Vincenzo Bellini," which feature Nadia Gray, the Huiian-born actress, as the noted er, Maria Malibran. This was produced about the same time "Carmen," based on Bizet's lar opera, goes before the cast in Rome and Spain. Musicals featuring the life-ies of composers are far and the most popular with the makers. Two to be made soon tell the tales of Rossini andard Wagner. Production Booms This big-scale musical was given a start with the first not long ago of "Caruso," "Puise and "Giuseppe Verdi," three biographical-type musicals. Operatic films always have popular in Italy, of course; production never before has so prolific. One reason offers that operatic films are also lar in America. "Americas especially like era," said Gallone. "They have been offered too many goodatic films, and when they get chance to see good ones, they to see them, don't worry." "Composers like Mascagnie Verdi are internationally poetic. It doesn't matter whether you big stars in the leading roar comparative unknowns. The will carry the picture — pli popularity of the composer." Gallone believes, however, only the well-known melodies be acceptable to audiences and experimenting with some o BEWARE HIDDEN CLAWS GENEVA, May 27 — Nobody knows when this conference will end but almost everybody except Mr. Molotov, is convinced that it will end in failure. Reason he is a possible exception is that he alone knows the answer to whether there is to be a settlement here. Curiously enough, a basis for a settlement — satisfactory to both sides but not exactly relished by either—does exist. Both sides know what it could embrace. But the Soviets give the impression that the Red Chinese wouldn't like it, and the Red Chinese hint that their partners—the Vietmkh faction in Vietnam—wouldn't go along. It's truly a tragic lineup, and it seems incredible that sensible men, aware of the dangers and implications of failure, will not see the straight course that lies ahead. Here is what could be done: First, withdraw all invading troops from Cambodia and Laos, as these two countries have been the victims of an aggression by the Vietminh Communist troops. Second, reassemble the various fighting groups inside Viet Nam and form a line for an armistice so that all Communist troops will be north of the lne. Third, turn over to the United Nations the task of selecting a commission of countries to supervise the armistice. Fourth, inaugurate steps through the United Nations to establish unity inside Viet Nam and withdraw all foreign troops when conditions of peace and tranquility have been established and when the independence of Viet Nam can be a realistic fact instead of a paper setup. A somewhat analogous settlement is logical for Korea. Neither side within Korea will at first have trust in the other, but unity cannot ever be established until the Communist control has been withdrawn. So it amounts to a simple proposition that can really basis for a sincere negotiation on the allied side them to do so, but they might still surprise everyone as a baseball game is till the last man is out, so...

One invented a ball with a bell in it; the other devised a golf ball which, whether lost or not, puffed smoke. Adolph J. Rubin of Brooklyn, N.Y., according to my friend George Degnan, a lawyer and collector of old patents, came up with the musical golf ball. The way Rubin told about in his description on file at the patent office. “The lost ball plays a tune.” He didn’t explain how the ball would know when it is lost. The Brooklyn man’s device worked by way of a “winding system” inside the ball. The mechanism inside the ball was supposed to ring after the ball hit the ground, whether it landed in the rough or in the cup. Smoke Trail The other gadget was invented in the long ago by Philip Schuyler Kane of Kane, Pa. This thing didn’t make any noise. All it did was send up a smoke screen, through an ingenious set-up inside the ball, which was touched off by a match before club head hit the ball. The ball was supposed to leave a trail of smoke in flight and continue to puff after it came to rest. Degnan also has in his collection a record of a hair tonic patent issued in 1909 to Friedrich Wilhelm Emil Muller of Chicago. Muller got to worrying about folks like himself who were losing their hair and came along with what he called a “useful hairstonic.” granulated sugar 5 percent key (nest corn) 40 per cent wine 20 per cent and “gredients,” which the inventor not identify. The currants, Muller said application, “are placed whiskey and left there four of four weeks; the currant then separated from the by straining and are used; the strained whisky thoroughly mingled with the sugar and port wine by a tube. The inventor attached a note to his appliance and those who tried it not to off their pate onto other anatomy. (This part is written over till Mr. Molotov has final word.) But he said that he had little careless in his persistence and had with some hair on his cheek before had been hairless.

OTHMAN China and Korea? They can bring about if they wish, or they can do those things which will make the world situation worse because these two problems and ultimately bring on another world war. Mr. Molotov at times gives the impression that he would like to come out of this conference with a peace plan that both sides will take, but at other times he seems as intransigent as ever. Under the circumstances, the allies now are taking the only course open to them here. They are drawing together. This means they are removing those differences which have hope to the Communists that they could play on a divided alliance in the West. The action of the British Cabinet is telling Foreign Minister Eden that the time was up for dillydallying and that the Communists must expect Britain to stand alongside the United States is a sequel to comments of that kind which the British foreign minister made priately last week only to have his words disregarded as the Communist delegations went ahead with their attacks on the United Nations and on the Western countries. The existence again of a unified Western alliance is a salutary development. It means that, if this conference fails, the military resources of the Western countries will be placed behind not only a new program of cooperation with the forces defending Indochina against the Communists but a reinforced procedure for establishing the Southeast Asia security alliance. The Communists know the facts now. Will they’ts week make the proposals that can really be the basis for a sincere negotiation? Nobody on the allied side expects them to do so, but the Soviets might still surprise everybody. Just as a baseball game is not over till the last man is out, so here the WASHINGTON — The Senate investigations subcommittee, looking into the wrangle between boss investigator McCarthy and the Army still is making haste slowly. How slowly even I, an old hand at watching senators in a hurry, find it difficult to realize. The gentlemen, as you may have noticed, on the giant 17-inch screen, reopened their proceedings after a week’s recess with the same old cast of characters. Everything was the same; the standing-room-only audience, the cops on the alert, the senators who sought only the truth, and the marathon witness, himself, Secretary of the Army Robert Stevens, in his same old gray suit. The lights seemed a little brighter than before. And perhaps Secretary Stevens was a little hotter of temper. Sen. Joe was giving him the business and kept on giving it to him, and the Secretary finally blew up. The argument was about a phrase, “give out.” Once the Secretary said in sworn evidence that he did not, either, give out the Army’s bill of particulars against McCarthy, Cohn, Carr and Co. The week’s vacation passed and here he was swearing from the same witness chair that he did give out this document. Stevens said he was telling the facts, both times. Was it his fault Sen. Joe used such a hazy phrase? No, said he. He meant—or at least I think he did—that he never did give out this paper to the press for publication. But he did give it out to the senators for their own perusal. The document, in case you’ve forgotten, had to do with the Army’s charges that committee counsel Roy Cohn, staff director Frank Carr and Sen. McCarthy tried entirely too hard to land a soft berth in the Army for this double meaning for give out. “I am getting awfully weary of trying to get a few simple facts from you,” the senator said. “It is like pulling teeth. Now we gave you a rather long vacation and you went out to Montana and made speeches. You ought to be refreshed enough now to tell us the truth.” Secretary Stevens flushed. He ripped off his eyeglasses and he said: “I resent that. I think that was improper. I was telling the truth.” Chairman Karl E. Mundt (R., S.D.) tried to pacify the combatants, but the gentleman from Wisconsin was having none of that, either. “I don’t enjoy sitting here and hearing the Secretary of the Army contradicting himself under oath” he said. Now everybody got into the act with a wide assortment of speeches on a large assortment of subjects, having more or less to do with this most-complicated case of charge and countercharge here in years. “I’m beginning to feel like the fat lady when the circus tent fell down,” said Sen. Stuart Symington D., Mo.). “She said she was up to her neck in midgets. I’m up to my neck in legal questions and I’d like to get out of here before fall. This is the 20th day of the hearings and we’ve had two witnesses so far.” Sen. Mundt said this wasn’t strictly true. His score card listed 17 witnesses to date, but only two of importance. And that brings us to the beginning of the day’s session, the only pleasant part. Committee counsel Ray Jenkins turned to perpetual witness Stevens and said solemnly: “Now, Mr. Secretary, if my memory serves me, I believe you have testified before in these hear- the forces defending Indochina against the Communists but a reinforced procedure for establishing the Southeast Asia security alliance. The Communists know the facts now. Will they th' s week make the proposals that can really be the basis for a sincere negotiation? Nobody on the allied side expects them to do so, but the Soviets might still surprise everybody.

The currants, Muller said in his application, "are placed in the whiskey and left there for a period of four weeks; the currants are then separated from the whiskey by straining and are no longer used; the strained whiskey is then thoroughly mingled with the water, sugar and port wine by agitation." The inventor attached a penciled note to his appliance and warned those who tried it not to let it spill off their pate onto other areas of the anatomy. (This part never got into the wording of patent No. 939,431.) But he said that he had been a little careless in his personal experimentation and had wound up with some hair on his chest, which before had been hairless.

Lyon Jr. The Centralia School District located on Lincoln Boulevard, west of Anaheim, has a school building construction problem that may prove to be a guinea pig for considerable debate and negotiation with the State Department of Education. This school district's Board of Trustees and Superintendent are trying to do what many school districts that are faced with rapid population growth are trying to do—namely, build as quickly as possible, adequate class room space for a minimum reasonable figure. As indicated in an earlier column, I have met with the School Board, its Superintendent and their architect to discuss their program and their problems. The State Office of School planning, though denying it furnishes more than consultative advice, makes it so difficult for a school district to carry out its own desire with respect to lighting, heating, window space and other special features of the building program, that the result is hardly one step short of coercion. I spent from 10:30 in the morning straight through to 2 in the afternoon at a meeting in the State Department of Education Building in Los Angeles conferring with the Centralia School Board, its Superintendent, its architect, the Chief of the Office of School Planning for the State of Californias. Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD (UP)—When voters in nearby Ventura county went to the polls last week they elected a rancher named Joel McCrea to public office. But McCrea, also a movie star, insisted today he's strictly a one-time, reluctant politician. "I ran for school board because I was asked to." McCrea confessed. "I'm not interested in politics." Some people have gotten excited and think I want to go on to be a senator or something. But I was on the ballot because I felt it was my civic duty. I don't want it to lead to anything more." Runs Ranch McCrea spoke in his comfortable ranchhouse at Moorpark, 45 miles from the cinema city, where he runs a ranch that is not the usual one-acre Hollywood variety. His 600 acres are devoted to barley, wheat and cattle. He leaves them for only two pictures a year "by choice, because it's more pleasureable to live here." The tall, blue-eyed actor is one hero of outdoor films who lives up to his roles in real life. Rancher McCrea is such an accepted part of his community that local leaders asked him to be a candidate for a three-year term on the school board. Unopposed for Post "I didn't discover until after the election that I was unopposed. I was kind of hoping I'd lose," he drawled. "I am now a trustee of the Moorpark High School. The board meets every two weeks and this is gong to be tough when I'm working on a picture." A liberty ship will be named after Terry E.

It became perfectly obvious to me that if we are going to maintain, and to a large extent re-gain the full measure of local responsibility, that school boards are endowed with under the basic laws of California, a concerted effort is going to have to be made by those of us in the Legislature who are in a position to learn and understand the picture. You can rest assured that I have dedicated myself to do everything possible to protect the rights and responsibilities of the local school boards and their administrators. Letter to the Editor May 24, 1954 Dear Sir: The results of the recent School Trustees election for the Anaheim Elementary and High School Districts has come to my attention. I wish to compliment the voters for electing men who campaigned on a platform for schools "that reflect local thinking" and that "teaches basic American ideals and principles". Mrs. E. H. Kersten, 411 North West St., Anaheim, has kindly consented to accept the chairmanship of my campaign in that area, and any questions concerning my campaign may be directed to her. I wish also to thank you for your interest in my campaign. It is only Unopposed for Post "I didn't discover until after the election that I was unopposed. I was kind of hoping I'd lose," he drawled.

They have no time between crops." Makes No Speeches McCrea's candidacy made him the only active big name movie star who has sought public office. Helen Gahagan Douglas and Claire Boothe Luce were ex-actresses during their campaigns. Lesser-known players Albert Dekker and Lucille Gleason ran for state offices in California. The McCrea platform included spending school funds on higher salaries for teachers instead of fancy new buildings. But after the term, he wants no more politics, the reluctant politician emphasized. "And I'm not making any speeches," he said. "I hate to talk before people. "As a matter of fact," said the clean-cut, ruddy-faced actor, "I don't even like to have my picture taken! I don't know what I'm doing in this picture business." with the help of an alert press, sympathetic to our American way of life, that we can preserve the freedoms which we enjoy. Sincerely, David B.
