HENRY KUCHEL THEODORE B KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. TIME TO INQUIRE Quite a little rumpus has occurred in the workings of the National Labor Relations Board, so far as southern California is concerned, all of which was originally set off by an article appearing in the Inglewood Daily News on Feb. 7, last. Dr. Towne Nylander, regional director of the NLRB in this vicinity has been suspended from that position, and the board, according to newspaper dispatches, has sent investigators to Inglewood to investigate the veracity of the article. "I'll tell you frankly," the Doctor is quoted in the news paper as stated to a group of Inglewood citizens, "when we go into a hearing the employer hasn't got a chance." Of course, it is highly desirable to determine whether or not this statement was altered, and more important to determine if it is true. In its suspension of Nylander, the board took occasion to state that that utterance was false, no matter who—if anyone—had made it. It goes without saying that its implications are undemocratic, unjust, unwise, and un-American. The theory of any judicial or quasi-judicial body (and no doubt the hearings of the board and its various referees are of the latter nature) as impartiality and absence of any bias. That theory does not, can not compart with one-sided hearings, whichever side is favored. The American people will not stand to have the cards stacked against them. And this is just as good a time as any to go to the bottom of this question. The Gazette is re-printing a portion of the Inglewood Daily News' article in this issue. ORANGE JUICE FOR THE ROTARY CLUB Seventy-five percent of the people in southern California are directly or indirectly dependent on the production and sales of citrus fruit. This great industry, although in rather ORANGE JUICE FOR THE ROTARY CLUB Seventy-five percent of the people in southern California are directly or indirectly dependent on the production and sales of citrus fruit. This great industry, although in rather poor financial condition, is the backbone of Orange county. We have proven our ability to raise good oranges and to maintain high efficiency in our packing plants. We also have proven that there remains much to be done in placing our products in the hands of the consumer at a fair price to him and also with a fair return of the grower. In this regard, aside from the efforts of the marketing agencies, a large bouquet is deserved by the Anaheim Rotary club as being one of the first service clubs in southern California to recognize an opportunity to be of real service to our main industry. Their resolution putting orange juice permeantly on the club's menu is one that should not be overlooked. There are hundreds of service clubs in California alone that no doubt will welcome the suggestion and pass similar resolutions. If the movement, by proper backing and promotion, would gain national acceptance it would be a large factor in the sale of California orange juice. Congratulations to the Anaheim Rotary club. Let us all pledge them our co-operation in a large, healthful glass of orange juice. What Other Editors Say The Gazette herewith re-prints a portion of the Congressional Record which reproduced an article appearing on Feb. 7, of this year, in the Inglewood Daily News: "Abandon hope; all ye (employers) who enter here" might properly be the inscription over the portals leading to the National Labor Relations Board, according to Dr. Towne Nylander, regional director for southern California, who addressed the Inglewood Community Forum last night. Dr. Nylander made the unqualified statement in the course of his address, "I'll tell you frankly, when we go into a hearing, the employer hasn't got a chance. There's never a scintilla of doubt as to the employer's guilt. Unless they amend the act we will get to the rest of the employers we have not yet been able to reach." Labor Needs Help "Why shouldn't it be that way?" asked Dr. Nylander, and then proceeded to point out that the em- Dr. Nylander made the unqualified statement in the course of his address, "I'll tell you frankly, when we go into a hearing, the employer hasn't got a chance. There's never a scintilla of doubt as to the employer's guilt. Unless they amend the act we will get to the rest of the employers we have not yet been able to reach." Labor Needs Help "Why shouldn't it be that way?" asked Dr. Nylander, and then proceeded to point out that the employers—the 20 to 25 percent who are "cheaters and chiselers"—are able to hire the ablest counsel and to utilize the best tools of industrial warfare, while the employee has heretofore had no representation. Dr. Nylander holds it to be the function of the N.L.R.B., and of his office particularly, to aline itself with the employee and against the employer. He charitably conceded that the average employer, 75 to 80 per cent of them, were fair and upright and did not need such compulsion as was being applied by the N.L.R.B. (aided and abetted by the Wagner Act's teeth) to the chiseling 20 per cent. However, later in his discourse he held to the belief that only 10 per cent of all employers owned their own business and that 75 per cent of these were "farmers," so that less than 3 per cent of the employers in America owned their own businesses. Strikes Ahead On the coast we are in for a period of strikes. These will occur largely during 1939; and although there will be no bloodshed and less violence than the coast has known before, there will be plenty of strikes, he thinks. Labor coerce other industrials and employers to join with them, much after the fashion of a man being coerced into joining the union, said the speaker. He castigated the Associated Farmers of California, as a destructive force for evil, claiming that out of all its funds expended in the recent campaign to put over the antipicketing law, only $4.50 was donated by a farmer, the rest having come from other sources. He excoriated the Southern Californians, Inc., as a "high-powered, streamlined version of vigilante," and as an organization standing in the way of progress. With these he coupled the Neutral Thousands and kindred groups, all of which, he said were tied into large financial groups. The remedy, he thought, was a comprehensive system of social assurance, under which the poor would be required to pay the bills, and the first stage of which is destined to be realized as early as 1940. He told of the millions now not included in social security, and gave it as his opinion that we hadn't yet begun to pay the cost of economic security. They Say ... "If all groups in our community life will try to understand and become better acquainted with the policies and purposes of the business institutions in our communities — if business management makes the same effort to fulfill its obligations—a friendlier, more tolerant feeling will surely result, which will sweep America on to new accomplishments and new heights on the road of progress." — C.R.Hook, president, American News Item: American industry spends $750,000 each day for research to find new and better products.

A newspaperman then when the president would KSON CLEARED SECRET FUND mors ran around the court and county seat last week the grand jury was going to investigate former sheriff, Logan Jackson. The word got out that had been summoned to appear at the inquisitors, and sure enough, he did show up and go the grand jury room. It any who had been whetting appetites for another sensa-were disappointed. It applied that some "detective" had a more or less vague accusation about the use of the sher-secret fund, which is annually used for his use without spec-requisition or accounting, be the secret fund of the form-strict attorney had given rise through suspicion to warrant an appointment, the grand/jury right, so it might be well to look further. Took Jackson only a short time to satisfy the jurors that there not only was nothing amiss, but that he stood ready to make a full accounting of this fund for the time he had been in office. Jackson claims he had a special record book kept on this account and has the dope to show how all of it was used. WHY SECRET FUND? More than one person who has been interested in the "secret fund" investigations, and the publicity which has attended the airing of these matters, has asked the question, "Why is it necessary to have such fund sin Orange county, anyway?" The only answer anybody seems to know is that the law allows it in counties of this size, and gives the district attorney $5,000 a year to play with as he pleases. There is some suggestion that the fund ought to be done away with, and if it is necessary to hire secret investigators let the supervisors o. k. the bills for them in the regular way. The only answer to this is that if a secret investigator is to be secret and accomplish its purpose it must be done by persons who are known only to the official for whom they are working, otherwise their usefulness is destroyed. Still, there might by a way around it. 1940 POLITICS ALREADY Those who keep an eye on republican affairs in Orange county have the understanding that Thos. Kuchel, assemblyman from the 75th (North Orange county) district, is figuring to come out for the nomination for state senate in 1940. Some of the republican leaders are hoping that if he wants the nomination he should have it by popular vote of interested party members. It was understood that Sam Collins, former congressman from this district, had a yen to run for senator, but that he would not if Kuchel decided to go. Another yarn is that Jimmie Utt, former assemblyman from the south district, has it in mind to run for something in 1940. NOTES Representative of the California Taxpayers association was around the court house last week asking questions. These people make a continuous study of state and county taxes and government, and issue what is probably the most fair and complete publications of statistics on these matters. A few weeks ago it was said that James Utt of Santa Ana was going to run for city council in Santa Ana in order to build himself some strength for an attempt at the First district supervisorship next year. At the same time Fred Rowland, present mayor of Santa Ana, was going to refrain from running for the council again so as to avoid entanglements which might hurt his proposed candidacy for the supervisorship. Now the situation seems to be exactly reversed, with Utt saying "no" on the council candidacy and Rowland saying "yes." Buy Now and Buy in Anaheim!

The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine MOOSEVELT WEEK— KEY WEST, Florida—Beforearding his favorite cruiser Houston" to rest, fish and follow the navy maneuvers in the Carnean, President Roosevelt last week delivered from his automobile at Key West two radio talks: To the Pan-American Hernando Soto Exposition opening at Campa, Fla., he addressed a few words for the benefit of the Latin American countries: "We propose sheed the ancient scriptural admonition not to move our neighbors' landmarks, not to encroach on his metes and bounds." To the Golden Gate International Exposition on man-made Treasure Island in San Francisco bay he said: "America's newest insular possession... is an outstanding example of territorial expansion without aggression. I have never thought it unfortunate that New York and San Francisco picked the same year for their world fairs. Instead of the incentive, people have two, and it is my sincere hope that 1939 will witness a swing around the whole American circle that will have some realization of our resources and our blessings and, more important, emphasize the essential unity of American interests. Getting acquainted with the United States is about as good a bit as I know." As a parting shot at the dictators he added: "By setting an example of international solidarity, cooperation, mutual trust and mutual helpfulness, we may keep alive in the heart of anxious and troubled humanity, and at the same time lift democracy high above the ugly truculence of antocracy." A newspaperman then asked when the president would return to Washington. March 4, replied Franklin Roosevelt, was the date set, but fresh reports which he had just received from abroad about the dictators might bring him home earlier. WASHINGTON — Before going south, President Roosevelt was expected to appoint a westerner to fill the supreme vacancy left by Justice Louis D. Brandeis, who retired fornight ago. Several names, none of them prominent, were in the air. Then a journalistic friend recalled that extremely able SEC Chairman William Orville Douglas, 40, was born in Minnesota and lived in the state of Washington from 1904 to 1922, hence is a westerner. Douglas was called to the White House; but the president left Washington without making any appointments.
