KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. OUR WHIRLING DERVISH Mr. Ellis E. Patterson, who some time ago announced that he was going to offer himself to our state as a candidate for United States Senator, has been changing his principles, his political platform, and his positions on public questions so often during these last few months, that he has come to rival the whirling dervish, figuratively, and almost literally as well. The story of Mr. Patterson's chamelion like changes might well begin with his band-wagon jump to the Democratic party in 1936 when that political group was in the ascendancy in this state. As assemblyman in 1937, Patterson hugged to himself everything that smacked of the new and the different, no matter how radical or foolish. The following year, he was nominated—by the same plurality of radical Democrats who went for Governor Olson—for lieutenant-governor; and, again with Governor Olson, was elected by shouting "party loyalty," in a state election, where almost everyone agrees there ought not be any partisanship at all. A news story out of Sacramento this week, particularizes a list of the latest amazing flip-flops of Mr. Patterson. First, after castigating President Roosevelt as a "war-monger" and the like, in the presidential primaries last month, he now announces that he is solidly behind the third-term movement; although he sententiously announces that the Democratic he was nominated—by the same plurality of radical Democrats who went for Governor Olson—for lieutenant-governor; and, again with Governor Olson, was elected by shouting "party loyalty," in a state election, where almost everyone agrees there ought not be any partisanship at all. A news story out of Sacramento this week, particularizes a list of the latest amazing flip-flops of Mr. Patterson. First, after castigating President Roosevelt as a "war-monger" and the like, in the presidential primaries last month, he now announces that he is solidly behind the third-term movement; although he sententiously announces that the Democratic party had better not continue its clandestine relations with Wall street, or he will leave it. The consternation of the leaders of the Democratic party can readily be imagined at such a tragic defection from their ranks. Then, after having engaged in a "you're another" contest with Governor Olson, during last month's election, he now abruptly wheels around, and says that he is going to help Mr. Olson carry out his program. Patterson then states that he is going after Senator Hiram W. Johnson, "hook, line, and sinker." One is reminded of the jenny wren who didn't like the redwood tree, and wanted to peck it to pieces. Perhaps, in the midst of all their troubles and their cares, the people of California may find a little relaxation in the antics of their lieutenant-governor. But when the elections roll around this year, Mr. Patterson, together with his fellow candidates, will be engulfed under the avalanche of acclaim which California will give to her senior senator. But then, after the elections, are all over, Mr. Patterson may start whirling around again. OUR ORANGE WEEK Orange week, in Orange county, is certainly serving its purpose of demonstrating to our home people both how delicious oranges are, and how much can be done here to promote their consumption. Reports received here this week point to a good year for citrus products in the eastern market, and it is to be hoped that the orange ranches may look forward to better times in the sale of the best fruit of all. Perhaps the most favorable kind of information, in connection with oranges, is the determination by medical science of the tremendous value of oranges, and of other citrus fruit, in promoting good health. A California orange, laboratory tests demonstrate, is a veritable gold mine of health producing vitamins, and it is now being indicated by the medical profession as compulsory diet in the relief of many ailments. Apparently, also, these is a scientific difference between the local product and citrus fruit of the deep south, brought on by an abundance of reasons: different soil, climate and the like. Too long have the people of California denied themselves the full value of eating oranges. Armed with statistics on the great worth of his product, our Orange rancher may the more easily sell his crop, which, after all, should need no sales talk to this state. So it may be concluded that Orange Week is no sales campaign; it is but a demonstration—and a successful one—of the fact that we can, should, and do consume an ever increasing portion of our citrus fruits here at home. That committee, headed Assemblyman Sam Yorty of Angeles, a crusading liberal fortunately discovered that well-intentioned liberals were sucked into cleverly-discriminant organizations, who had the courage and had to ferret out the truth and made public—rendered a report has already brought action several fronts to protect Californians from the enemies within its "There is conclusive evidence the stark reality of the Column' in California," the mittee reported. Americans have delayed long in facing the problem these "Fifth Columns' have ed. We must not continue to mistake of being apathetic tolerant toward their treas activities. If we do, our intable apathy and misguidedance will eventually be discarded among tools used to destroy government, our constitution our freedom." The recommendations of Yorty report are interesting alone because they highlight problem and means of coping it, but because they are not mandations, for the most which farm organizations made for several years past. They are as follows: Undertake immediately aough investigation of all sensitive activities in California. The report was rendered, the lature appropriated $2500 to mit the Yorty committee to a further investigation. Enact laws, both federal state, to force leftwing prodsists and undercover party tors into the open.

They have to do it because Sheppard went to bat for them in Washington and pulled a federal appropriation out of the fire to reimburse Orange county for its costs in buying lands for the flood control dam at Prado. Sheppard has a good friend and lieutenant who has a rather small job in the county welfare department. He has been demanding a better one. It was thought he could be taken care of with a postoffice in his home town but he couldn't pass the examination. So now something else has to be done, and the supervisors have been "asked" to see that he gets moved up a notch in his present department, even though it means demoting or letting out another incumbent. And both the promotee and the demotee are henchmen of one of the democratic supervisors, whom they helped elect four years ago and who had to take care of them as best he could. The other democratic supervisor is a probable candidate against Sheppard in the August primary. The rest of the supervisors are republicans. So altogether it makes quite a neat little cross-word puzzle. MISS ANDERSON OUT? The analysis of the Robbie Anderson candidacy for the state senate on the democratic ticket as made in this Watchtower two weeks ago seems to be substantiated. At least, the word is whispered around that she will not run. That she was pushed into it by democratic forces anxious to push other possible democratic candidates out of the picture can hardly be doubted. The whisper now is that Burr Brown is to get the nod from the demo leaders. OLSON IN CONFERENCE Governor Olson visited Orange county Monday, ostensibly to give a boost to Orange week, but particularly to hold some conferences with local leaders. About 20 of them got together. The main topic was how to win votes and influence candidates—the good ones to stay in—and the poor ones to stay out. The governor urges that local Democrats present a united front on county and district offices, dodging the primary contests by agreeing beforehand which candidate should make the race. THE FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California CALIFORNIA far organizations, which had the foresight and courage to warn the state against the spread of communism and seditions activities long before the apt term, "Fifth Column," came into being—and which were bitterly condemned for even suggesting such a thing—have achieved beaten vindication during recent weeks. Overseas, one liberty-loving nation after another has foundered in "Fifth Column" treachery, sold by enemies who bored from within. And here in California, the reintroduction of the assembly committee on diversive activities, which was ordered during the closing days of the special session of the state legislature, is a clarion call to unions against the same forces and influences which sought to terrorize farming communities and white class violence. That committee, headed by Assemblyman Sam Yorty of Los Angeles, a crusading liberal—who fatally discovered that many all-intentioned liberals were being sucked into cleverly-disguised communist organizations, and who had the courage and honesty to refute out the truth and make it public—rendered a report which already brought action on several fronts to protect California. START AND FINISH OF U.S. HIGHWAY '40 JUNE 12 NATURAL PLANS Russell, in the Los Angeles Times. Washington Snapshots by JAMES PRESTON happenings in troubled Europe. Washington is currently anxious to keep anything remotely similar from occurring in the United States. For that reason, those who are interested in the welfare were shocked into vigorous nunciation. As an illustration, the scribes it as an "oppressive practice" for an employer any information about the economic or "political" behavior of his employees, unions, or of union officers; employer adjudged guilty of "oppressive labor practice" be fined $10,000 and sent to six months. That means, for example, an employer who is building planes for our army and not who is expanding his operations in order to keep up with the world, could not be whether prospective employers were nazis or communists or what-have-you. There is some doubt whether the employer could ask a job applicant when believed in the American government. Naturally, a column member would likely anyway, but if the employee was suspicious and sour information from any other such as a former employer friends of the job-seeker would be guilty of an "oppressive practice." It doesn't stop here, how would make it virtually impossible for the company to plant effectively against without committing one aforesaid "oppressive practice."

Washington Snapshots by James Preston As the big totalitarian states of Europe continue the inhuman and methodical process of crushing the "neutral" nations under their iron heels, Americans are able to observe—at a distance—the "fifth column" technique in action. Briefly, this technique involves the introduction of spies, sabotage artists and sympathizers into a country with which your nation is not at war. This "fifth column" gradually establishes itself in positions where it can do the maximum amount of damage once the two countries in question go to war. There have been frequent occasions since when the phrase has been justifiably applied to type for years on end. Analyze our educational system to determine where it has failed to inculate students with an appreciation of American democracy. And strengthen the law to eliminate politics and radical domination in SRA. (This is something all major farm organizations have long advocated.) It is unfortunate, perhaps, that it took the threat of war—and the tragic object lesson overseas—to bring California to a realization of radical infiltration and all that it portends. But it is forunate, indeed, that the state is finally aroused—and is prepared to deal with the situation. The Fifth Column has made war on California agriculture for many years past. It has made war in the cities, too, through radical labor czars, who tied up business and industry—but farmers were the first to fight back and call a spade a spade in doing so. If California is finally awake, however, the days of the "Fifth Column" are numbered! Proud of her? Telephone!

As an illustration, the bill describes it as an "oppressive labor practice" for an employer to get any information about the "economic" or "political" beliefs or activities of his employees, of the unions, or of union officers. Any employer adjudged guilty of this oppressive labor practice could be fined $10,000 and sent to prison for six months. That means, for example, that an employer who is building airplanes for our army and navy, and who is expanding his operations in order to keep up with the rest of the world, could not find out whether prospective employees were nazis or communists or anarchists or what-have-you. There is some doubt as to whether the employer could even ask a job applicant whether he believed in the American form of government. Naturally, any "fifth column" member would lie about it anyway, but if the employer were suspicious and sought this information from any other source, such as a former employer or friends of the job-seeker, he would be guilty of an "oppressive labor practice." It doesn't stop here, however. It would make it virtually impossible for the company to guard its plant effectively against sabotage without committing one of the so-called "oppressive practices." If fifth columnists actually got a no-hold in an American airplane factory, there would be no way for the boss to find out what they were up to with out stepping over the bounds imposed by the La Follette measure.

Nelson home on Orangethorpe avenue, one-fourth mile west of Brookhurst road, Nelson reported to sheriff's officers.
