The Publisher Comments Both the pro and con reasoning are essential if the voter-taxpayers are to arrive at a fair conclusion on the proposed 50c per $100 tax requested by the Anaheim Union High School for the purpose of operational expenses for the High School and the two new Junior High Schools. The Board of Trustees have presented many pertinent facts relating to the tax. But there are several thoughts that the voter should know. If the present tax is not voted through, the schools will not close. There will be cuts in the curriculum and in the services offered to the students. These cuts will, in all probability, be in the night school schedule to bring the operational costs within the allowed funds available and in non-basic classes with the end result that the curriculum available to the student would be the basic requirements for a High School Education. The frills would be missing, with night school cut to a bare minimum, or entirely.

If the present tax is not voted through, the schools will not close. There will be cuts in the curriculum and in the services offered to the students. These cuts will, in all probability, be in the night school schedule to bring the operational costs within the allowed funds available and in non-basic classes with the end result that the curriculum available to the student would be the basic requirements for a High School Education. The frills would be missing, with night school cut to a bare minimum, or entirely. It is up to the voter to decide whether he desires his child to have available any than just the bare minimum education. It takes money to pay for frills. Many of these frills are essential if the student considers his high school education the end to all formal learning since the college student will obtain these added features in advanced schools. But, if there are not sufficient funds to pay for them, then it will be the responsibility of each student to obtain the added requirements through the medium of experience after leaving school, and it can be done. Facts can be presented to the voter but only the voter can make the decisions by exercising his voting power. Whether you are for or against the issue, vote! Man Bites Dog Ever hear of a city which didn’t want a great big beautiful post office? Well Oregon has one—it’s the city of Condon, located in the wide-open spaces of central Oregon and boasting, by the official census, 968 rugged individuals. An item in The Journal listing proposed post office appropriations set the city fathers off and the Condon Commercial club passed a resolution unanimously. In effect the club said: "The proposed appropriation of $215,000 is far out of proportion to the needs of Condon; so, apparently are appropriations for most of the other cities; an investigation ought to be held to see if the same thing is going on in other states. Finally the club urged that the whole appropriation measure be recalled and reconsidered, and sent its resolution off to Oregon's congressmen and senators.

SONGS OF A SONNETEER By R. LOUIS SCOTT "TILL DAY SHALL BREAK . . . !" "Till day shall break—and shadows flee away"—Symbolic runes across a carven stone: Groups of meaningless letters, some might say, Which yet mean much to one who walks alone! Words of promise—a contract sealed and signed— Which charts the hours that we alone have known: Moments of richness, tho we were too blind To know them so: somewhere, in time or space, Fate bids us meet—and our lost treasures find! This carven stone is your last earth-borne trace—What it now guards is but your cast-off clay; While you, the real you with the impish face, Live on in dreams and in each prayer I pray:— "Till dawn shall break—and shadows flee away!" SONG OF SOLOMON 2, 17. In Memoriam—VERA COYLE SCOTT— 1901—1935 Memory—16/31 USELESS SUPPORTS The David Lawrence Dispatches By DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON, JUNE 24 — Irrespective of the final outcome, the most extraordinary event of the year in the realm of international affairs is the single-handed negotiation between premier Mendes-France of the new cabinet in France and Chou En-lai, the Foreign minister of the Red China regime, in their meeting held at Berne, Switzerland, to discuss the fate of Indo-China. First of all, it’s ironical that, despite all the talk about a "Colonial War" and the aspirations of the people of Indo-China for independence, the principal personality Mr. Mendes-France sees across the negotiating table is the head of a government formally denounced by the United Nations in a sense conceding it has gions as an aggressor in Korea and been a belligerent in the war in Indo-China. The other governments—Britain and the United States particularly—have drawn apart, watching the game with grave concern and wondering whether Indo-China is to be given over to Communist control because of the ardent desire of a French cabinet to liquidate an unpopular war after eight years of fighting. For the French premier has announced that, unless he gets a settlement within 30 days, he will resign. This is tantamount to an announcement by a person who has some property to sell that he has to sell it within that period. Everybody knows how readily the buyer can insist on his price when that kind of a "negotiation" occurs. This is generally known as a "force sale." It means that France is today consulting her enemy to find out what terms that enemy will grant. It seems incredible that French public opinion would sanction any object surrender and it is logically turn their energies in the of internal reforms like But Mr. Mendes-France no means an appeaser who will take anything offered. He will not, or hand, fail to canvass unity for a settlement China. If the proposal him are utterly unacceptable will go back to Frank frank statement of all and doubtless will Washington to ask for help. The Red China knows this, too. Between now and next is not a long time in view of the situation but, if premier gets nowhere with Chou En-lai, that is important information dent Eisenhower to have sits down this coming with Prime Minister Ch Anthony Eden, British secretary.

Auerbach is proud of her moments, but she explained some girl with dimples who tries to hide her shapely figure has risen to rank with Liberace and Arthur Godfrey as a controversial television star. Betty White was just a secretary off a local TV disc jockey show for four years. Now she is the star of a daytime show on NBC television, and her husband-wife comedy "Life with Elizabeth" is syndicated on film to 106 stations. But she "just can't help" being one TV actress who made the grade by vetoing plunging necklines, she said today. Nixes Sex "When you're one type, you don't try to be something you're not," she exclaimed at NBC studio after her morning TV show. "I never stress sex appeal. I watch necklines and sweaters. I never pose for cheesecake because I don't have that kind of a figure." They'd say 'oh, that's just old Betts.'" she dimpled. She gets some letters from men, she admitted, "but they're the family - type mail." This family-type wholesomeness, however, caused one critic to groan Betty is "terribly wholesome—but I already had a sister at home." He announced he was switching to looking at Jane Russell. Criticism Hurts "I can't say the criticism hasn't hurt me because it has," said Betty. "But I can't win all the audience. You can't expect everybody to like you." "Change? Gosh, no," grinned Betty, whose conversation is peppered with "gosh" and "golly." "You can't change yourself, especially when you're on the camera every single day. When you try to be something you're not, people will see, right through you. If you're one way, you're stuck with it." Wholesome Girl To her millions of devoted fans she can do no wrong. On her daytime show she grants a wish to an orphan, conducts unrehearsed interviews with all types of people in a homespun Godfrey fashion, reunites guests with their families as a surprise and sings, sometimes forgetting the words.

This is haying time in the Mennonite territory and the men, in their full beards and black hats, are working in the fields. Their wives mostly seem to be busy baking cherry pies. The cherry season is at its height. And then, of course, there's Stanley Spencer, a brave man — and Rolls Royce fancier. Spencer used to be in the radio advertising business in Schenectady, N.Y. This was profitable, but he didn't like it. He had to wear a necktie every day and keep his pants pressed and, from one month to the next, he never even got to see a cow. So he chucked the radio business and took his wife and two small children to a farm at Newville, down the pike from here. That was 17 years ago, and Spencer's now one of the most successful dairy farmers in these parts. I didn't get to see him this trip; the hired hand was in places unknown and Spencer had to stay home to hook up all the cows to the milking machine. However, his son Buck (who's in college) and his daughter Charlotte (who's society editor of the paper in Chambersburg) drove over in the family Rolls. You might say they arrived in style. Stanley figured, even as I that an automobile ought to have running boards and a crank, and so along about 1948 he bought from an indigent Detroiter a 1933-model Rolls Royce cabriolet. This cost somebody better than $20,000 in the long ago; Spencer got it for a small fraction of that. Then he and Buck tuned up the mighty engine and rubbed the dirt off the paint; and they now ride in one of the swankiest cars in all Pennsylvania. It is 21 years old but it still runs like a whisper, and that black lacquer on the heavy steel body is as shiny as ever. No rattles in this car, nor WRENCE DISpatch LAWRENCE American opinion, he may lose financial aid for his plan for internal reforms, something to which he gives high priority in his concept of a legislative program. The French Premier told this correspondent about three weeks ago at his home in Paris that he thought France was suffering internationally because she had neglected her domestic situation and that, if the Indo-China problem could be solved, it would enable Frenchmen to turn their energies in the direction of internal reforms longoverdue. But Mr. Mendes-France is by no means an appeaser or a man who will take anything that is offered. He will not, on the other hand, fail to canvass every opportunity for a settlement in Indo-China. If the proposals made to him are utterly unacceptable, he will go back to France with a frank statement of all the factors and doubtless will come to Washington to ask for American help. The Red China Premier knows this, too. Between now and next Saturday is not a long time in which to feel out the situation but, if the French premier gets nowhere in his talks with Chou En-lai, that fact will be important information for President Eisenhower to have when he sits down this coming weekend with Prime Minister Churchill and Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary. Big decisions, therefore, are in the making, and it is conceivable that the Red China government is about to cross the Rubicon. If it doesn't present a plan that can save face for France and insists instead on an extreme point of view, the Communist cause inside France will lose ground and the Moscow government will have reason to be greatly concerned about the course of her Asian Ally. If, government gives Mr. Mendes-France an "out," the settlement WASHINGTON REPORT By Your Congressman JAMES B. UTT Since my return to Washington after the June Election our Committee on Ways and Means has been holding hearings on Unemployment Insurance and extension of the Philippine Trade Act. It is the latter that I wish to discuss in this report. The United States - Philippine Trade relations are governed by the 1946 agreement on trade and related matters. This agreement provides that Philippine and United States articles are to be granted reciprocal duty-free treatment from July 4, 1946 through July 3, 1954 on importation into the territories of either party. On and after July 4, 1954 these articles with limited exceptions become subject to gradually increasing duties over a period of 20 years. NEED FOR EXTENSION: President Magsaysay of the Philippine Republic requested an 18 month's extension of the free-trade period for the purpose of mutual discussion of modification of the terms of the agreement. The modification which the Philippine Government is seeking in the Trade Agreement will require exhaustive consideration by both governments. The Philippine Government attaches great importance to this extension and its Congress has already passed conforming legislation in helping them develop a strong domestic economy. I hope that after adjournment I will be able to visit the Philippines to examine the situation so that when the revision of the Rade Act is presented to our Committee, I will be better informed on the subject matter. In view of the fact that our West Coast is more greatly affected by Philippine Trade it may be interesting to you to know the amount of this trade. We export to the Philippines $350 million worth of products annually, a portion of the breakdown will show that cotton manufactures amount to $50 million, industrial machinery $30 million, synthetic fibers $27 million, dairy products $21 million, automobiles and accessories $18 million, electrical machinery $16 million, wood and paper $12 million, tobacco leaf $12 million. The U.S. imports from the Philipines $276 million annually. Of this, the greatest item is raw sugar, $105 million. We also import copra $57 million, coconut oil $17 million, fiber $16 million, pineapples $13 million, cotton embroideries $12 million. Big decisions, therefore, are in the making, and it is conceivable that the Red China government is about to cross the Rubicon. If it doesn't present a plan that can save face for France, and insists instead on an extreme point of view, the Communist cause inside France will lose ground and the Moscow government will have reason to be greatly concerned about the course of her Asian Ally. If government gives Mr. Mendes-France an "out," the settlement of the war in Indo-China will be very popular in France even if it is closer to appeasement than the kind of settlement America got in Korea. The stopping of a war on almost any terms—or what is sometimes called "Peace at any Price"—is at this time what many people in the world seem to want. It was that way back in the '30's, but in the end the appeasement brought on World War II. History could repeat itself.

When Buck figures it needs greasing, he pushes a button and the engine manifold sends oil through copper lines to every bearing in the chassis. The beauty about this motor car, according to Buck, is that it's increasing in value every year. It's now regarded as an antique and he figures that his father will leave it to him. "And then some day I'll pass it on to my own children," he said. No reason why not. The car's just getting well broken in. It's only been driven 176,000 miles. So I listened to the hot harp while; the harpist's father said this summer he hoped he wouldn't have to haul it. His daughter's going to Europe next week. She'll be gone all summer and, when she returns, her fingers will be tender. I predict more blisters for the harpist this fall and more sore backs for her pappy, but as of the moment everybody's happy in the hills. (Copyright, 1954, By United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Ten Years Ago Philippine Republic requested an 18 month's extension of the freeware trade period for the purpose of mutual discussion of modification of the terms of the agreement. The modification which the Philippine Government is seeking in the Trade Agreement will require exhaustive consideration by both governments. The Philippine Government attaches great importance to this extension and its Congress has already passed conforming legislation. Approval of this measure by our Congress will indicate our interest in the economic problems of the Philippine Republic and our friendly support of its new President. I supported the proposed extension. At this point I would like to indicate my reasons. It may appear to be in conflict with my previous position in support of a selective tariff to protect American labor, industry and agriculture. My previous votes against extending the Reciprocal Trade Act were not because I oppose reciprocal trade agreements, but because the act itself delegated that authority to the Executive Branch of Government (actually the State Department) when the Constitution specifically states that the matter of tariff and trade resides in the Congress. The Philippine Trade Act is a creature of Congress and did not arise out of an Executive Order, therefore it is proper that Congress should again direct its attention to this matter. It was Congress that passed egislation granting independence to the Philippines, and although they are now a sovereign and independent Republic, we have a moral obligation which impels our continued interest in the welfare of that nation. IMPORTANT ALLY: The Philippine Republic is one of our best allies in our cold war against Communism and is located geographically in an area where Russia is making a bid for expansion. Prudence demands our sympathetic interest and assist time lately, plan for a refreshing, two-day vacation over the week end.

It may be only coincidental, but yet a fact, that our country is starting trade negotiations with Japan this year. There will be an effort to develop markets for Japanese products. It would be economically sound to develop markets as close to Japan as possible. Japanese goods have not been flowing into the Philippines since the occupation, and under our Philippine Trade Act, there is some question as to whether that market could be open to Japan. I believe that a modification of the Philippine Trade Act will include the giving to Japan of at least one-half of our Philippine export market. I do not suggest this as being good or bad, but just believe it is one reason our State Department is asking for a modification. Japanese goods must find a market, and it might be best if they find it close to home. The more the Philippines take from them the less will flow to America, but we will have to find other foreign markets for those exports of our own goods which herefore went to the Philippine Republic.
