The Bulletin Editorial Page B. — Anaheim (Col.) Bulletin Thursday, May 7, 1950 Tommy's Saddle Sores Thomas Kuchel Senator from California, and (we apologize), a former resident of Anaheim, seems to have definitely broached a new career, that of being nominated by the liberal leftist Democrats come the next election. Former politicians who no longer agree with the party who placed them in office have been open and above-board with their decisions and changed party registrations. But not "Tommy". He holds on to one party while being dictated to by the other. This is commonly known as "riding the fence' and usually develops "saddle sores." Tommy must have an advanced case. No doubt the taxpayers have been billed for a deluxe air ring to comfort his posterior. A man with principles, whether you agree with him or not, musters the respect of all those with whom he comes in contact. A man who gives up his beliefs for personal gain, in this instance retention in office, earns the trust of no one, including those whom he is attempting to join. He is labeled an unstable opportunist with a bargainable price placed on his loyalties. This price gets cheaper and cheaper until he is satisfied with crumbs to maintain his existence. Main street Los Angeles is filled with hundreds who have taken this road to success.

The Lighter Side by Frank Eleazer WASHINGTON (UPI) — Word was circulated that a House Agriculture subcommittee was about to determine at last which comes first, chicken or egg. In the interest of science I hurried over to the House caucus room, but it was obvious at once I had been misdirected into the civil rights hearings. All the talk was about integration. In the nick of time though a poultry reporter tipped me off that this term has other meanings. This was indeed the House Agriculture subcommittee, considering chickens and eggs. At Bargain Prices The witnesses were all poultry farmers, but they said unless something is done quick, they won't be. It developed that nobody is happy about chickens and eggs, except the housewives, who are buying 'em now at bargain prices that may never be duplicated. At least the poultry men said they sure hope not. What the poultry farmer gets for his product these days doesn't even cover his feed bills, the witnesses said. Not even all the housewives are pleased. Take Mrs. Hazel Bowles Avery, wife of Rep. William H. Avery (R-Kan.). Mrs. Avery has been paying her egg man 60 cents a dozen, and for small ones at that. It was Congressman Avery's husbandly duty to go home and tell Hazel to start reading the grocery ads. The supermarkets here are advertising them at 35 to 45 cents, and one witness produced a recent tear sheet from a Washington paper offering grade mediums at 29 cents. Everybody had his own idea why all this is so, but a lot of the chicken farmers kept getting back to that word integration. Says Chicken Was First It seems that in the chicken business this refers to a recent development in which feed mills try to increase their market by moving into the hen house. In some cases, it was said, they are in the poultry business right from scratch and all the way through to the packaged legs, breasts and thighs. Others just blamed overproduction, although it did seem this was a little like saying the reason we have unemployment is that some people can't find jobs. Whatever the cause, the subcommittee said something will have to be done about it, and I guess we all better buy eggs and chicken cheap while we can, because it probably won't last. All that talk about chicken and eggs, and the subcommittee never did decide which comes first. But Rep. Charles H. Brown (D-Mo.) said as far as he's concerned it's the chicken. Brown said the government has been fiddling around buying up a few surplus eggs, in dried form, when it ought to be buying hens. He said a hen lays maybe 16 dozen eggs in its lifetime. If we taxpayers buy these at 30 cents per dozen that's $4.80 for the output of the hen. Obviously be a lot cheaper, he said, just to do away with the bird.

No Business Of His? MODERN PHARISEE ALBXAIDER Your Birthday by Stella THURSDAY, MAY 7 — Born today, you have a pleasing, outgoing nature by which you make friends wherever you go. You enjoy going out in society, are likely to be the center of any activity, and usually are the life of the party. You thrive on attention and do your best work when in the midst of an admiring throng. The activity of urban living will give you needed zest and excitement. Since you are a natural leader, you are at your best when at the head of any procession. Naturally, you will fit into public life and should use your talents accordingly. You have a definite gift for speaking in public: It is likely that you also have a gift for musical expression, performance and, quite likely, composition. You also have the ability to write fluently, be it prose or poetry. Select a career in the arts, for in that way you can work when inspiration moves you—not when the boss says "Go!" You might very easily make a success of a stage career. Although you are affectionate by nature, you are not demonstrative and you have to know a person for a long time before admitting him or her into your circle of intimates. You make thousands of casual acquaintances, but your close friends are few. But once a friend, it is for life! Your marriage should be an exceptionally happy one. Among those born on this date are: Johannes Brahms, composer; Robert Brownning, poet; Socrates, philosopher; Anton Seidl, conductor; Joseph Gurney (Uncle Joe) Cannon, noted politician.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) — Take a positive attitude toward life and you will be surprised at the success you can achieve. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20)—Home affairs take precedence today.

Harry Truman told the students at Columbia University that he wasn't what you'd call a great President (with that statement I can agree) — nevertheless, he worked hard at it. Facts is, he might have been able to get more done in the Korean conflict and dealing with General MacArthur if the Un-American Activities Committee hadn't kept on dragging "Red Herrings" back and forth before him. Farmer McCabe (all rights reserved) Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — Back of the folding screen in the Statler-Hilton hallway, the red-wine colored chairs were lined up as if in anticipation of somebody important. On the tags on the backs of the chairs were scribbled these names: Mr. Taft, Mrs. Coolidge, Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Hayes, Mrs. Garfield . . . It seemed as though I had blundered through the pearly gates, into the section reserved for the White House. But these people were for real, very much alive and down-to-earth. And then, in little groups they came, but passed up the chairs and headed for — naturally, the Presidential Room. Soon we were sitting down with them to a luncheon of roast beef "just like President Jefferson would have served in the White House," as the lady on the podium announced. Here, undoubtedly, was one of the greatest pictures of living history — 26 direct descendants of 17 United States Presidents together for the first time under a single daddy's doctor. She was six years old then. Now she's Mrs. Richard Tatem Brigham, mother of four youngsters and wife of a market analyst in West Chester, Pa. You saw in these people some of the famous characteristics of their ancestors. There was John Coolidge, now of Hartford, Conn., talking about his dad, his head lowered with the same look of sayness that folks remembered about Calvin. And there was Richard Rolsom Cleveland of Baltimore with the droll wit of his dad, Grover Cleveland. Through the years, he said, folks have come up to him reminiscing about how they used to see him scamper about the White House lawn. But the truth is, he said, he was born a year after his father left the residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. "Father moved away," he said, "to get a little son and heir." The living products of our Presidents had come to Washington. It was a day for the history books.

Friday, May 8 TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21) — A good day for sharpening your wits and using your brains to gain a major objective. GEMINI (May 22-June 21)—Make this a record day for your major efforts. Make a good impression with an important person. CANCER (June 22-July 23)—Real estate matters may come up for consideration today. Be sure of your facts, then act. LEO (July 24-Aug. 23) — You can get excellent results by sticking to routine today. Put in a solid day's work! VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23) — A busy day for all major business interests.

Soon we were sitting down with them to a luncheon of roast beef "just like President Jefferson would have served in the White House," as the lady on the podium announced. Here, undoubtedly, was one of the greatest pictures of living history — 26 direct descendants of 17 United States Presidents together for the first time under a single roof. They were brought here for the 40th anniversary of the Women's National Press Club. What impressed me most about these great names was their modesty. Mrs. Wayne D. Muller 'of Bremerton, Wash.; descendent of President John Adams, was telling me that she visited the White House only once, and then as a tourist. The other day, she said, she was in a group sight-seeing around Monticello. A lady at her side gushed to the guide, "I'm a descendant of President Jefferson." Mrs. Muller perked up. She extended her hand to the woman and haltingly offered: "I'm a descendant of President Adams." The lady gave her a patronizing smile, lifted an eyebrow and sniffed, "Oh???" "I dropped the subject," said the great - great - great - great-granddaughter of President John Adams. But here, at the Statler, there really was a direct kin of Jefferson — Mrs. Joseph Parkes Crockett of Alexandria, Va. A sprightly lady, she. "I was warned not to talk to reporters," she said, putting down her fork. "My grandfather once told me," she said, "Never lean on your ancestry when you appear in public." She waved at the room, "And a beautiful young woman looked up at an elderly gentleman." "I remember," she was telling him, "when you used to give me those little sugar pills." The man, Admiral Joel T. Boone, was Peggy Anne Hoover's Through the years, he said, looks have come up to him reminiscing about how they used to see him scamper about the White House lawn.

Capitol Dispatch by David Lawrence PARIS — What memories Winston Churchill can bring to Washington this week! If he is philosophically inclined, he can point up the fallacies of our times in terms of the lessons of history. Just 40 years ago in Paris, while writing about the Peace Conference, this correspondent learned about the already famous British statesman who had occupied during the latter days of World War I the position of first Lord of the Admiralty, corresponding to Secretary of the Navy in the United States. Alongside him was another young man — Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy — who spent much of his time in London working out the details of the all-important blockade of the English Channel against enemy submarines. Mr. Roosevelt was proud of that assignment and of what was accomplished, and he once talked to me at a luncheon in the White House about the true significance of that military maneuver which helped to shorten World War 1. But, goofing back before that war to the days of 1912, the newspapers were filled with comments about Mr. Churchill's suggestion of a "Naval Holiday." It was my first experience with the concept that armament might be limited by international agreement. The proposal, of course, failed because the dictatorship in Berlin then wouldn't agree, just as there is no chance of agreement today with the dictatorship in Moscow. Over the years "bold and imaginative ideas" have been many, and when World War I ended and President Wilson came to France, on painfully, though persistently, to achieve its ends. Unfortunately, many of the new nations are helpless pawns in the hands of a big power — The Soviet Union — and this in turn has only brought the need for more alliances and regional combinations that in theory at least violate the spirit of any effective system of international organization such as it was hoped the United Nations would become. Two paragraphs from the dispatches I wrote from Paris in 1919 struck my eye as I reread my scrapbook the other day: The British do not believe that a perfect system is obtainable immediately and desire to bring about a common concert or council, possibly through annual conferences of Foreign Ministers of all the powers for an open discussion of the problems affecting the world situation in the course of a year. The idea seems to be to accomplish, by annual or more frequent international conferences, transactions in world diplomacy, using the public opinion of mankind as the great background to keep the peace . . . "Any move which means to treat with the Soviet as de facto authority, as was proposed recently by Prime Minister Lloyd George — not as an act of condoning Bolshevist terrorism, but to get some central authority with which to deal effectively — means naturally deep antagonism of the Anti-Bolshevist factions which are struggling to overthrow the Soviet. The leaders of the armies fighting the Soviets are appealing for arms and ammunition, not allied forces, as necessary, but this policy is Mr. Churchill's suggestion of a "Naval Holiday." It was my first experience with the concept that armament might be limited by international agreement. The proposal, of course, failed because the dictatorship in Berlin then wouldn't agree, just as there is no chance of agreement today with the dictatorship in Moscow. Over the years "bold and imaginative ideas" have been many, and when World War I ended and President Wilson came to France, some of us mistook the thunderous applause on the boulevards of Paris as a sign that the world was ready for idealism and mutual trust. Oddly enough, the big discussion then was between a system of rival alliances or a "balance of power," on the one hand, and a universal system or league of nations to be governed by international law, on the other. There were doubts expressed then by the British and the French that any league could succeed, but they bowed to the American President in a gesture of gratitude over what the United States had done to ensure victory by way of military sacrifice and economic aid during World War I. But it was the American Senate, led by Republicans of the "Isolationist" school, which prevented American entry into the League of Nations. Maybe it was the difficulties encountered by this organization in the 1930s which led Winston Churchill, when World War II was nearing its end in Europe just fourteen years ago this week, to suggest in an article in "The Saturday Evening Post" that perhaps there should be a return to the system of alliances and that "spheres o influence" might well be recognized. But the pressure for a United Nations finally prevailed in 1945, only to be superseded soon in large part by a system of alliances now known as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, on one side, and, on the other, as the Warsaw Pact set up by Moscow to form a defensive alliance among the "capitive" countries behind the Iron Curtain. Today it is a "balance of power" which again keeps the peace of the world, and, in a sense, the old European theory has been vindicated. But some of the newer ideas show signs of even bigger momentum. Thus, President Wilson proclaimed the ideal of "self-determination" for all nations, and this tended to encourage smaller countries to gain their independence from the big powers. The sentiment persists today in Africa and in Asia as nationalism moves Any move which means to treat with the Soviet as de facto authority, as was proposed recently by Prime Minister Lloyd George — not as an act of condoning Bolshevist terrorism, but to get some central authority with which to deal effectively — means naturally deep antagonism of the Anti-Bolshevist factions which are struggling to overthrow the Soviet. The leaders of the armies fighting the Soviets are appealing for arms and ammunition, not allied forces, as necessary, but this policy is beset with many dangers, too, because of the ease with which the cry of intervention can be raised as a means of antagonizing people against the allies." So the problem presented not so long ago in Hungary and even today in Tibet is much the same as it used to be. The underlying hostility against dictatorships and against the enslavement of whole nations remains in a world that is still far from peaceful after two world wars. Maybe also Sir Winston will soliloquize on the strange vicissitudes of life. For on his 25th birthday, while a correspondent in the Boer War in 1900, he wrote to a relative in New York: "There is so much I want to do in the world and so little time for me to do it." For Sir Winston, because of his father's frail health, never thought he himself would live to a ripe old age. (Copyright, 1958, New York Herald Tribune Inc.)
