Hoover Considering Disabled Veterans President Will Endorse Measures for Betterment of Conditions One of the first acts of President Hoover following his inauguration was to give consideration to the problems of the disabled war veterans, according to Paul V. McNutt, National Commander of the American Legion, who is now touring California. Commander McNutt has visited the various government hospitals in California in company with State Commander Frank N. Belgrano, Jr., and State Adjutant James K. Pisk of the American Legion. He has also been inspecting the various Legion Posts of the state. The first act of National Commander McNutt following the inauguration ceremonies was to present to the new President the problem of the disabled men of this country, the first charge of the Legion. The interview was very satisfactory, the National Commander said. Commander McNutt was in Washington during the entire day of March 4th and attended all the inaugural ceremonies pertaining to the President. In discussing the interview with President Hoover relative to the American Legion's program as the first major objective of the Legion, McNutt declared that he was certain that he would have the help of President Hoover in putting over his plans. "We have a present program for the disabled man," he has said since then, "and the first thing on that program is to improve and expedite our own service to him. I know what a tremendous responsibility has fallen upon the service officers of our posts and our departments and upon the members of our National Rehabilitation Committee. These men have worked night and day and have performed a wonderful service. As the years have passed the problem has increased. Its solution requires the work of experts. We must bring to these service officers every possible assistance in order that they may State Patrol Bill Passed Both Houses Provides That All Motor Cops Shall Be Under State Control Carrying the endorsement of both houses of the legislature the Breed bill creating a state highway patrol, controlled and operated directly by the state and making numerous other important changes in the motor vehicle laws, went to Governor Young Monday. The bill, representing the first legislative attempt to eliminate the presence system of dual control of the traffic officers, waits result of nearly two years' work on the part of the various groups interested in traffic safety and enforcement. Governor Young announced, upon receiving it, he would give it careful consideration. The measure authorizes the creation of a highway patrol, blanketing in all the officers now operating in the county units into one strong central organization. The director of public works is empowered to appoint a superintendent of traffic to take charge of the patrol. The administration of the patrol will be in the Division of Motor Vehicles and under control of B. B. Meek, the director of public works. Authority is granted for the division of the state into traffic districts, the formulation of standardized rules and practices, the establishment of training schools for the officers and anything else calculated to provide the maximum of efficiency in the enforcement of traffic laws. Boards of supervisors may submit lists of prospective appointees to the patrol when vacancies exist. Such nominees may be appointed at the discretion of the director of public works. The chief of the division may assign members of the patrol to counties other than those from which they were appointed in cases of emergency. Another section of the act gives the chief of the division the authority to establish night patrols in any part of the state. Teague Honored On Return Home Showing the esteem in which their leader is held by the citrus industry of California, the directors of the California Fruit Growers Exchange presented C. C. Teague, president of the Exchange, with a gold watch and testimonial scroll at the conclusion of their regular weekly meeting on April 17, at which Mr. Teague reported on his recent trip to Washington. This trip was made at the request of the congressional committee on agriculture in the interests of farm relief legislation. About 500 citrus growers and officials heard vice-president W. E. Sprott present the gift and express the appreciation of the Exchange directors to Mr. Teague for this unselfish devotion to the interests of the citrus industry. The testimonial reads: "Charles C. Teague, President of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, serves this organization and the citrus industry well. Sterling of character, unselfish of time and effort, wise in judgment, courageous in thought and action, true to co-operative ideals, he gives this exchange a quality of leadership which commands respect and admiration throughout the country, the Exchange Board of Directors present to him a token and this expression of their esteem and appreciation, Wednesday, April 17th, 1929." In speaking of this trip, Mr. Teague Several articles of intense interest to sportsmen, conservationists and the many in California who realize the importance of the fish and game resources are contained in the current issue of California Fish and Game, the official quarterly magazine issued by the Division of Fish and Game of the Department of Natural Resources. The salmon fishery of the Sacramento river is covered in the opening article by G. H. Clark, while N. B. Scofield, head of the commercial fisheries bureau and a recognized authority on commercial fish, goes into the conditions existing regarding salmon in California. Clark traces the history of the salmon industry on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers since 1832. In fact, he explains that this industry closely followed the discovery of gold in California, and even in 1852 reports indicate that the catch was falling off. The first salmon cannery was established at Washington, Yolo county, in 1864. Despite the crude methods used the success was so great that in 1881 there were twenty canneries operating on the Sacramento river and in the San Francisco bay region. While the first cannery produced 2,000 cases in 1884, the twenty others in 1881 and 1882 turned out $81,000 cases. Clint also tells of the hatcheries for artificial propagation of salmon by the United States government in 1872, art tells also of the millions of young salmon planted from the hatcheries on the McCloud river at Battle Creek Mill Creek and the state hatchery at Sisson. Scofield insists that measures must be taken to protect the Sacramento salmon, and explains the need for immediate action. He points out that troiling has had much to do with the depletion, but also that pollution of streams, building of high dams and the failure to properly screen outlets have also taken their toll. Both of these articles are in detail in the magazine, which may be obtained by applying to the Division of Fish and Game, 510 Russ Building, San Francisco. Other articles of interest have to be with investigation of duck dissection fishing in Monterey Bay, the time fisherman and the great catch made, the tuna industry in San Diego and golden trout planting in the high maximum of efficiency in the enforcement of traffic laws. Boards of supervisors may submit lists of prospective appointees to the patrol when vacancies exist. Such nominees may be appointed at the discretion of the director of public works. The chief of the division may assign members of the patrol to counties other than those from which they were appointed in cases of emergency. Another section of the act gives the chief of the division the authority to establish night patrols in any part of the state. The testimonial reads: Charles C. Teague, President of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, serves this organization and the citrus industry well. Sterling of character, unselfish of time and effort, wise in judgment, courageous in thought and action, true to co-operative ideals, he gives this exchange a quality of leadership which commands respect and admiration throughout the country; the Exchange Board of Directors present to him a token and this expression of their esteem and appreciation, Wednesday, April 17th, 1929." In speaking of this trip, Mr. Teague said, "I have welcomed the opportunity to inform our government leaders of my faith and belief in real, grower-owned and grower-controlled commodity co-operatives as a basic prerequisite to improved marketing conditions for perishable farm products, such as we have in California." U. S. C. Courses In Motion Picture Law A new college course in Motion Picture Law will be given during the 1929 summer session of the University of Southern California, according to announcement of Dr. Justin Miller, Dean of the S. C. School of Law. The summer session of the Southern California Law School will be divided into two terms, the first from June 17th to July 23rd, and the second from July 24th to August 30th. Some of the courses will run throughout the entire summer session, while others will be given for but one term each. Visiting professors in the Trojan Law School this summer include Malcolm McDermott, Dean of the College of Law of the University of Tennessee; Julian S. Waterman, Dean of the School of Law of the University of Arkansas; and Rudolph Hirschberg of the University of Koenigsberg, Germany. It's hard to tell a daughter from her mother or grandmother nowadays, but father can still be distinguished from his son by his bald head. EUROPE ARMAMENTS Europe again is an "armed camp." Competition in armaments is becoming more acute. Europe is spending some $2,000,000,000 a year on armaments, expressed in United States money. All European countries—except Germany and the powers which were defeated in the World War—are spending as much now as they did in 1913. This race in arming puts peace in imminent danger it is agreed. Even the United States is spending more on its defensive armament than it did before the World War. The peace of the world, of course, is not endangered by American armaments. But European statements and publicists see grave danger in the expanding armaments of Europe. David Lloyd George eloquently is setting forth the gravity of the situation and boldly is decrying the frenzied arming of European nations—particularly the allied countries. He even goes so far as to charge that the allied countries are breaking faith in its mad competition in armaments. It is to be hoped that some general and effectual peace movement may halt this alarming tendency likely to bring back the very situation which existed in Europe in 1913. Nowadays when you get Mexico City on the radio you can't tell whether the interference is due to static or machine guns. Record Attendance At Hemet Pageant With the attendance at the first two performances of the seventh annual Ramona Pageant at Hemet, establishing a new record, the management of the spectacular outdoor drama now estimates that more than 50,000 people will see the play in its six performances this season. The play will be repeated next Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28, and Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5. Two brilliant performances were given by the cast of 200 players the past week-end, and the applause of the thousands of spectators was tumultuous. Time and again the cheering of the audience almost caused a temporary halt in the performances. Critics are a unit in declaring the Ramona play this year the most colorful outdoor production the Pacific Coast has ever known. The past week-end brought special parties to the play from many California points. Saturday a special reserved section of 450 seats was occupied by people from Long Beach, who made the trip to Hemet in a caravan of sight-seeking buses. Fifty members of the California history class of Occidental College made up another party. More than a score of Southern California high schools have reserved seats for parties of from 25 to 75. IF HE CAN President Portes Gil says that he proposes to stop gambling in Mexico. It is a large undertaking. All races and nationalities are gamblers, but the average Mexican seems to have a particularly strong element of chance-taking in his make-up. Indeed, gambling is a national institution in one sense below the Rio Grande, where the lottery business flourishes as only in Honduras. If President Gil actually can rid his country of gambling, he will not only save the Mexican people a vast amount of money and set them in the way of thrift, but he will remove one of the chief causes of these periodical revolts against the government. For there is no question but that the "rake-offs" from Mexico's numerous gambling institutions is the incentive which prompts the military and civil governors to strive for the reins of government at intervals.
