Under-the-surface talk and courthouse this week has cerned itself mainly with the nation confronting the district attorney's office in connection funds for special investigative The main point is that "ain't none." Funds budgeted appropriated last year for the cal year ending next June have all been used up. Just and where has not yet learned, except that the old trict attorney spent 'em, led the new district attorney stump. According to law, in a case the size of Orange, the d attorney is allowed a special of $5,000 a year which he disburse for secret investig. When he needs some of this ey the auditor issues him a rent, and he takes the money spends it. At the end of the year he is obliged to make port to the auditor, showing ceilings or vouchers for the m spent. These vouchers, how mean little, as it is under the names signed are oftentious. As a rule nobody knows who actually the money. In past years the account this fund always has been "Thanks for Everything" with Jack Oakle - Jack Haley BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly New magazine OPEN DOOR JIM— LONDON — Great Britain took a stand on far eastern policy last week as forceful as that of the outspoken U.S. In a long, sharp note, which greatly resembled Secretary of State Cordell Hull's New Year's demands on Japan, Britain professed willingness to discuss nine-power treaty revisions with Japan, but only in conference with "a fully independent Chinese government when peace has been restored." At week's end France also was reported to be preparing what was termed in diplomatic circles a "last warning" to Japan before the democracies restored economic pressure. ARGENTINE BAN— BUENOS AIRES — Despite the fears of U.S. business interests that the dictator states of Europe are taking over the trade of Latin America, the bitterest trade competitor of the U.S. in Argentina at present is no totalitarian state but a democratic nation of traders: Great Britain. Unannounced by the Argentine government and vigorously denied by its representatives in the U.S., an unofficial ban on U.S. goods has prohibited the majority of importers from bringing U.S. products into Argentina since the first of the year. Because she buys from Argentina far more than she sells to her, Britain has always been high in Argentina's favor. The U.S. ordinarily buys less from Argentina than she sells her, does not enjoy Argentina's favor. Long a sore point with Argentina is the prohibition against the import of fresh Argentina meat to the U.S., a ban largely due to the claims of lobbyists from cattle and sheep-raising western states that Argentine meat comes from livestock suffering from hoof-and-mouth disease. Despite these hard feelings, U.S. sales to Argentina have cut heavily into Britain's trade and during the first 11 months of 1938 the U.S. managed to ship to Argentina $230,988,648 worth of goods to Britain's $235,618,489. Her trade supremacy in Argentina threatened, Britain some time ago reportedly requested" Argentina not to use British sterling to balance her obligations to the U.S., and Argentina is anxious to keep the economic patronage of a nation which buys the largest share of her chief products: grains and meat. Three months ago Argentina went further, set up a rigid exchange control plan. Importers of goods from nations with which Argentina has an unfavorable trade balance—The U.S., Italy, Japan, Sweden and others—were ordered to procure special permits in order to bring in goods, effective January 1. The theory was that total value of permits would not be allowed to exceed the total value of Argentine exports to those countries. The catch has been that no permits for imports of U.S. automobiles, foodstuffs, tobacco, sporting goods, toys, etc. have been issued by the government. What the outcome of this ban will be was far from apparent last week but nobody was ready to believe that Argentina will permanently do without U.S.-made chewing gum and man-sized motor cars. Best informed opinion was that the restrictions would probably remain until Britain's sales to Argentina can pull far out in front of her competitors' or, more likely, until Argentina can wrangle the U.S. into buying more of her products. In past years the account this fund always has been as required, at the end of the cal year, which is June 30 cording to the auditor. D Attorney Menton had this fund his disposal during the last of 1938. He used it all up there is no way to compel a counting until after June 30. In addition to this, the re-expense fund of the d.a.'s for the entire fiscal year has been used up and over. The auditor is holding up claims against the fund until supervisors appropriate some money for it. The supervisor turn are trying to get hold Menton, the ex-d.a., to find why and where a total of was dissipated so quickly. At this writing the dope in Menton cannot be found, at no body admits knowing whereabouts. The only come the county has is that the tor is holding up his last check; amounting to over $How much of this extra quantity of money went into "Fools Rush In" investigation not known, but probably a SUCCESSFUL WIFE— NEW YORK — Released week by Dr. George Gay American Institute of Opinion were the results of on the question: "Do you ap of the way Mrs. Roosevelt conducted herself as 'first lady Her husband was approved 58% of the voters in a Gallup poll (and by 62% of major party voters in the election).

SPECIAL FUNDS FOR EAR ALREADY USED UP; THE MYSTERY IN CASE Under-the-surface talk at the garhouse this week has connued itself mainly with the sittion confronting the district atney's office in connection with wards for special investigations. The main point is that there isn't none." Funds budgeted and appropriated last year for the fisyear ending next June 30 he all been used up. Just how where has not yet been arned, except that the old district attorney spent 'em, leaving new district attorney up a emp. According to law, in a county size of Orange, the district orney is allowed a special fund $5,000 a year which he can course for secret investigation. Then he needs some of this monthe auditor issues him a wartuit, and he takes the money and mends it. At the end of the fiscal he is obliged to make a ret to the auditor, showing reorts or vouchers for the money nt. These vouchers, however, are little, as it is understood names signed are often fictius. As a rule nobody except d.a. knows who actually got money. In past years the accounting of fund always has been filed it since the sheriff's special secret investigation fund also was drained in the same connection. All of which, incidentally, indicates that the work on this pamphlet case altogether cost the county many thousands of dollars, with a net result of exactly nothing to show for it. In the meantime the present district attorney has no expense money and cannot conduct any special investigation work until the fund is fattened up in some way. INSTALLATION DEAL ON TAXES CONTINUES In 1933 the legislature hastened to the aid of embarrassed prop-erty owners who could not pay their taxes in the depression years. They provided a plan by which delinquent taxes could be paid on the installment plan, over a period of ten years. Each legislature since then has renewed this special legislation, and the bill to do so already has been introduced in the present session. In Orange county this special provision has been taken advantage of by about 1,300 taxpayers. Since each of these owns more than one parcel of property, it has meant setting up more than 5,000 accounts in a special department in the auditor's office. It takes practically all the time of MORE ABOUT Council Meeting (Continued from Page 1) mobiles and trucks were received from four Anaheim concerns and referred to the finance committee for further tabulation. Contracts are Let Gasoline for use in city motor vehicles will be provided during 1939 by the five Anaheim distributors at a rate of 12 cents a gallon. The city, as a governmental agency, does not have to pay the federal tax, but pays the state sales tax. City Clerk Charles E. Griffith was instructed to write a letter to the Santa Fe Railway company expressing the city's appreciation for the new reduced speeds employed by the streamline trains through Anaheim. City Engineer E. P. Hapgood reported the total cost of reconstruction work on section two of the joint outfall sewer dufing December was $10,264.32, of which Anaheim's share was $2794.97. Maintenance of sections two to five, inclusive, amounted to $1835.55 and this city's share was $640.13. Sewer Costs Listed J. L.

C. Cravens. The grandfather took the infant home this week. The baby was the lone survivor of a collision between the car his father was driving and a train at the railroad crossing at Flower Street and Santa Ana boulevard, Santa Ana. He was confined for about three months to the Orange county hospital, being taken from there to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Allin in Buena Park. The Allins said they had hoped to adapt the baby, but that the grandparents wished to raise him themselves. Grand Theater to Open Friday Night The Grand theater, located at 306 E.
