KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. ANDERSON QUITS Confirming rumblings of the last few months, H. Dewey Anderson this week resigned his office of administrator of the State Relief Administration, but it will require some additional time before the entire story back of this becomes known. We recall that Governor Olson, when he announced his choice of Anderson last January, was high in his praise of the then new administrator. Indeed, one of the first acts of the Governor was to raise the salary of that post from $6,000 (which is the pay received by Administrator Harold Pomeroy under the Merriam administration) to $10,000. Indeed, Anderson was prominently mentioned, first, for the position of state director of finance, but later because of his then-alleged qualification in the relief field was chosen head of the relief administration. Both the Governor and Anderson publicly inclined towards a "production-for-use" program in relief, and in the early days of the year, Olson vigorously championed Anderson appointment as the dawn of a new day in state relief administration. When, in the spring, facts were brought to light concerning the appointment of William Plunkert, radical and alleged communist, it was the Governor who announced his dismissal. The investigation of Plunkert's activities in SRA showed both religious and political discrimination and, at this time, almost ruined cohesion in the governor's legislative group. Both the Governor and Anderson publicly inclined towards a "production-for-use" program in relief, and in the early days of the year, Olson vigorously championed Anderson appointment as the dawn of a new day in state relief administration. When, in the spring, facts were brought to light concerning the appointment of William Plunkert, radical and alleged communist, it was the Governor who announced his dismissal. The investigation of Plunkert's activities in SRA showed both religious and political discrimination and, at this time, almost ruined cohesion in the governor's legislative group. But, on Plunkert's dismissal, that catastrophe was averted. As an aftermath, however, a section of the radicals of the state announced its extreme displeasure with Plunkert's dismissal, and Anderson, who originally was aligned with that group, found himself between two fires. Radicals were displeased with the incident because it resulted in Plunkert's leaving the state service, conservatives were displeased because such a person was appointed in the first place. It may be that this contributed to this week's breach. At any rate, in his letter of resignation Anderson points to political pressure in the relief set-up, denounces it, and leaves. He observes that "even in the Merriam administration," there was no attempt to build a political machine. This, of course, is his way of saying that the ugly head of politics was not present in an administration which, in respect to platform, was a total void. Leading a more or less cloistered, professional existence, Anderson's theoretical belief in production for use is understandable, and is credited as sincere. If his resignation comes—as is believed—from an honest disgust for partisanship in relief matters then his charge against the state government is a serious one. This significantly demonstrates that blank legislative checks and wholesale power to use relief monies in any fashion are bad—bad for the state, bad also for recipients of relief. It is one additional reason why the legislature should have done what the "economy bloc" decided to do: Write a law detailing the qualifications for relief employment and participation in relief funds, setting up standards in full so that politics, chiseling, and radicalism might be more effectively removed from relief administration in California. THE MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine HEATHER AND STEEL— LONDON—The longest name on the British navy list is that of Admiral Hon. Sir Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax. His friends call him "Old Plunk." In 1914, when he was a young commander, he accompanied Rear-Admiral (later admiral of the fleet, Earl) Beatty on a military mission to the late Tsar Nicholas II—as a step in desperate preparation for the world war, which broke out a few weeks later. Last week, now one of Britain's wisest naval strategists, if the peace front had passed from the brass hat to the brass tacks stage. As the British mission left London, Old Plunk was gay. He went in his button-hole—"for optimism"—a red carnation and a wee sprig of heather. Less light-hearted was Lieut. Baskervyle Glegg, whose job it was to take care of such military secrets as have so far escaped espionage. Lieutenant Glegg-toted his responsibility in a steel dispatch case fastened to his wrist by a three-foot chain. Lieutenant Glegg was heavy of heart it was the winged germ of the world's first military flying force. At 54 Clerk Mullaney is still the job and so is the force which he bought Wright's ship. In celebrating its 30th birthday last week, the U.S. army air corps could boast, not only that it is made in process of becoming the equiv of any nation's, but that it is ready the daddy of them all. The house where the Brother Wright lived and worked longer stands in Dayton. Her Ford carted it away for his collection of Americana at Dearborn Mich. But on Dayton's north outskirts lies a long, luscious green field named Wright. This heart and brain of the corps, the home base of its material division, where every item equipment used, from a gun needle to a 15-ton bomber, is amined and tested before purchase; where its advance thinks and performance (blind flight stratosphere, automatic control radio research) are done; while its medical studies are pursued. Here come all bids for the $330,000 expansion program voted in April and June by congress which is to bring the air corps to 5,500 first-line planes by 19 And here, last week on the corps's birthday, was held chief party in a celebration that spanned the nation. That morning some 1,500 plaques were taxied to the take-off line at all the corps's major fields. A radio signal from President Roosevelt in the White House, planes at all these fields road forward, swept aloft, joined other in droning, hammering fences, swung in wide arms over many cities to show U.S. civilians and taxpayers what the nation's wings look like and they can fly. General Henry H. Arnold, chief of the corps, officiated at a luncheon for oldtime pilots, the air industry and the press in the administration building at Writt Field. Attaches from Germany Italy sat among the foreign contingent directly in front of Clarendon as he dwelt upon six records casually set by the colonel during the week just past. They he emphasized the fact that these marks had been made without recourse to "suped up" gines, synthetic fuels or "five-hour engines" (such as nazis and factions use). Flying all one afte the British navy list is that of Admiral the Hon. Sir Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax. His friends call him "Old Plunk." In 1914, when he was a young commander, he accompanied Rear-Admiral (later admiral of the fleet, Earl) Beatty on a military mission to the late Tsar Nicholas II—as a step in desperate preparation for the world war, which broke out a few weeks later. Last week, now one of Britain's wisest naval strategists, he set out for Moscow again—in a desperate effort to stave off another world war. Sailing with Sir Reginald on the specially chartered City of Exeter, bound for Leningrad, were 25 other British experts and an equally impressive French mission headed by General Joseph Edouard Doumenge. Britain and France hoped to bring off with a show of force what cautious persuasion, begging, wheedling had not accomplished in months: a three-way military alliance with Russia which would be something besides a suicide pact. As was fitting, France, with the greater army, entrusted its mission to a general; England, with the greater fleet, sent an admiral. Russia, eager to be shown that the two democracies can back up their word if they choose to keep it, appointed its highest officers to receive the mission. Russia's chief delegate was Defense Commissar Kliment E. Voroshilov. With Europe's armies reaching a mobilized peak of 8,000,000 men this month, the definition of diplomatic phrases had become far less important than the exchange of honest facts. On the eve of the Moscow consultations, all three military missions seemed prepared to go the whole way. When general staffs exchange data, it is virtually certain that diplomatic agreements are signed or nearly signed. It looked, last week, as stage. As the British mission left London, Old Plunk was gay. He were in his button-hole—"for optimism"—a red carnation and a wee sprig of heather. Less light-hearted was Lieut. Baskervyle Glegg, whose job it was to take care of such military secrets as have so far escaped espionage. Lieutenant Glegg-toted his responsibility in a steel dispatch ease fastened to his wrist by a three-foot chain. Lieutenant Glegg was heavy of heart because he was handcuffed to the future of Europe. M-O-T PROGRESS—WASHINGTON—Among inventions patented in recent weeks at the U.S. patent office: 1. An invisible hearing aid for the deaf, built entirely within a set of false teeth. 2. A set of "police claws" to mount on the front bumper of a patrol car, grab a speeder's rear bumper. 3. A muff for cornets and trombones, to fit over the keys, keep outdoor musicians' hands warm in winter. Also an electrically heated steering wheel to warm motorists' hands. 4. A mailman's unbrella with slotted handle, to clip on the edge of a mail bag. 5. A barber's vacuum tube that fits around customers' necks and shoulders, sucks up clipped hair. 6. A slipper with a whistle built in the toe. When the toe bends, it toots. M-O-T DADDY'S DAY—DAYTON, OHIO—Thirty years ago a young war department clerk named John Mullaney signed an order for a flying machine built here by two brothers Wright, Orville and Wilbur. The contraption was specified to go 40 m.p.h. with a 25-h.p., four-cyclinder engine. This Wright machine was not only the first plane bought by the U.S., but attaches from Germany to Italy sat among the foreign contingent directly in front of Cliff Arnold as he dwelt upon six new records casually set by the covert during the week just past. They he emphasized the fact that these marks had been made without recourse to "suped up" gines, synthetic fuels or "five-hour engines" (such as nazis and fascists use). Flying all one afternoon and night, the big foot motored Boeing "super-fortress" (XB-15) carried a two-ton payload 3,107 miles averaging 16 m.p.h.: No record existed for its weight and distance; the covert just set it up to shoot at, expect to break it as soon as the super-fortress (150 ft. wingspread) equipped with bigger engines. Days prior, the same ship climbed to 8,299 feet with a 15½-ton payload (world's record). Small Boeing "fortresses" (YB-17s, ft. wingspread), carrying five loads, established new altitude (23,800 feet) and speed (m.p.h.) records for a 621-course. Another "fortress" climbed to 33,400 feet carrying five (world's record). In time for party at Wright Field, a brass new Boeing B-17B, first of its super charged versions of present "fortress" about to be delivered, hurtled from Burbank Calif., to Floyd Bennett Field N.Y. (2,450 miles) in 9 hr. 14 min sec., at average speed of 2398 m.p.h., only two hours shorter than the transcontinental road made by Howard Hughes on a racing plane. Finally, a German amphibian flew 1,000 meters (621 miles) at 186 m.p.h., bettering Italy's world record of 159.8 m.p.h.

Q: "What does the baby look like?" EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of four articles by Ralph H. Taylor, farm leader and legislative observer, reviewing bills which will become laws on September 19 and analyzing major battles of the 1939 legislature. California taxpayers won round one in their battle for a curb on state spending and an end to new state taxes during the hectic and historic legislative session which adjourned at Sacramento on June 22 after 131 days of perpetual motion. But it was bitterly-contested, hard-fought fight—and round two is coming up when the special session of the legislature is convened in December or January. As a matter of fact, the fight will undoubtedly rage all summer in anticipation of the coming extra session, for Governor Olson has announced his intention of carrying the battle to the people, and the members of the economy bloc in the legislature may be expected to do likewise. Under the circumstances, it behoves California taxpayers—whether farmers or home-owners, employers or wage-earners—to know what happened at Sacramento, what is likely to happen this summer and what may happen when the two houses are called into session again to reconsider the tax proposals they recently rejected. The proposed tax increases also chopping the record-state budget and placing some restriction on expenditure of funds—was due to the surplus economy-minded lawyers received from the people their home districts. The pressure groups of Workers Alliance and the liberals and radicals who believe that higher taxation is the root of a new Utopia were simply pressured by rebellious workers and employers who have paying the bills for non-work and the beneficiaries of government bounty. With taxes in many of the states leading businesses and industry taking a bigger share of the turns than is available for all workers who operate the businesses and the stockholders provide the capital, Californians simply staged a riot that rocked the capitol and so notice they would not toll added tax exactions. But the propaganda machihe spending brigade is already work—and is certain to over-time during the months, seeking to high-pre-regislators into again releasing brakes and opening the vault of the state treasury. There are announcements the state deficit may reach a of $100,000,000 sometime this that the state credit is endang that border stations must be the winged germ of the first military flying force.

A: "Yes." Mellon: "Well, how do you feel?" Washington Snapshots by James Preston Not all the ghosts in Washington writes speeches for big-wig tengine waggers or haunt houses, it now seems. There are other ghosts who fill in nicely when there is need for an anonymous pronunciamento. These mythical figures have been called to duty quite frequently of late. Most recently, the ghost has been playing the role of a business man. And in that role, the ghost has been making some strange but important noises. The person to whom the mythical figure has been talking is no less a personage than the president of these United States, and he has passed the statements on for all to heed. The latest word the president has passed on from the ghost is that the United States senate has done the business men an evil turn by not following the wishes of the White House in the matter of neutrality. The chief executive quotes the anonymous business man as saying that the senate has nipped a business boom in the bud by its anti-New Deal antics on neutrality. Reasoned the ghost: If the White House had its way on the question, we could sell war materials abroad. Thus would come the business boom. Under the circumstances, it behooves California taxpayers — whether farmers or home-owned, employers or wage-earners—to know what happened at Sacra- mento, what is likely to happen this summer and what may happen when the two houses are called into session again to reconsider the tax proposals they recently rejected. Of the $68,000,000 in new state taxes and increases in existing state taxes which Governor Olson asked of the 1939 legislature, only the unopposed gift tax—designed to produce approximately $1,500,-000—received legislative approval. Higher income taxes, higher business, bank and corporation taxes, higher "death taxes" and new taxes on natural resources, el cetera, were all defeated. Also rejected were new and exceedingly heavy payroll taxes for compulsory health insurance and other new governmental innovations which would hit the pocket-books of both employers and workers. But the fact that the economy bloc won out—not only defeating they point out, there was some indication that such business deterents as the National Labor Relations act, taxes and federal fiscal policies might be revised. Because of this wishful thinking many industries expanded plants, increased payrolls and prepared for a return to normal economic operations. Only the tax structure was modified, however, and that revision was not all that it has been headlined to be. Actually, under the new tax measure there is no reduction in the amount of taxes collected. The modified tax schedule simply collects the taxes differently. But most important, there was no action on the hoped for overhaul of the NLRA or any change in the deficit spending policies.

One of the cangressmen fanned the flame anew recently by carrying a tin of the Argentine product into the house chamber, with the announcement that "I brought this in the basement of the agriculture department building," where a grocery and meat counter is operated for the benefit of government clerks. Stamp Note: it is dull day in philately when the post office department isn't thinking up something new for the stamp collectors. The indefatigable thinker-uppers in that department can turn out new picture ideas for stamps faster than the bureau of engraving can produce the finished product. The P. O. officials are about to release 35 new stamps, honoring great Americans in the arts and sciences. A selection from "Science Health with Key to the pictures" by Mary Baker Eddy includes the statements: "Jesus spoke of disease as danger or as difficult to heal. When students brought to him they had failed to heal, he them; 'O faithless generation plying that the requisite poor heal was in Mind.'" Those in the capital who look more seriously at the question of business conditions, are not in agreement, with the White House "Spooksman." The neutrality issue has played no part in present conditions; they say. This school of thinkers feels earlier hopes of business aid have not been fulfilled. Early in the session of congress, from Matthew: And when were come to the multitude, came to him a certain man, lying down to him, and saying, have mercy on my son: for lunatick, and sore vexed: . . . Jesus rebuked the devil; and departed out of him and there was cured from that very illness. Then came the disciples to apart, and said, Why could he cast him out? And Jesus said them, Because of your unmerit for verily I say unto you, have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say unto this man, Remove hence to your place; and it shall remove nothing shall be impossible you." ASK FARMERS TO HELP BLOCK CHISELERS Redoubled effort is being made through cooperation of the farmer organizations and the state employment office in Santa Ana to eliminate as much as possible of the chiseling indulged by clients of the various state and county welfare and relief agencies. To this end Don Cram, who has been in the state employment office since its establishment, is contacting those farmers and packing houses who hire farm labor. The principle object of the cooperative effort is to get all those who do the hiring to check up with the employment office and see that the employed persons are listed as such, and so are taken off whatever relief rolls they have been on. Those connected with the matter know there has been a great deal of this chiseling going on in the past. Numerous cases have been uncovered in which individuals were holding jobs and at the same time drawing benefits of some kind from the public treasury. It is only by thorough cooperation between employers and the various relief and employment agencies that this chiseling can be prevented. NOTES Rumors of a resignation affect one of the most important offices in the court house, but not many think anything will come of it.

Bonelli, member of the state board of equalization, he announced today. Orange county has 95 on-sale distilled spirits licenses and a population of 118,647, hence a ratio of one such license to each 1,249 residents. Bonelli points out that the population figure is based on the 1930 federal census, therefore figures in total population and ratio should be considerably higher, possibly 25 per cent. In addition to Orange, the fourth district includes the counties of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura. With a total population of 2,932,795 and total on-sale distilled spirits licenses of 2,614, the ratio for the district is one such license to each 1,122 residents. Again population figures are based on the 1930 federal census. "Despite a generally prevailing belief to the contrary," Bonelli said, "Los Angeles county has the high ratio of one such license to each 1,186 residents. "The average ratio for the district and the ratios for each county are most satisfactory in comparison with ratios for northern counties where they are considerably lower, that is, fewer residents to each licensed premise."
