KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim. California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. FIFTH COLUMN IN CALIFORNIA Governor Olson’s strenuous efforts to defeat those members of the legislature who opposed his legislative program in Sacramento ought to be overwhelmingly thwarted next Tuesday, for many, many reasons, the most important of which is the fact that his legislative program was bad for our state, and inimical to our people’s welfare. One outstanding case in point is sufficient. In January, 1939, a bill was introduced into the state assembly which was designed to fight communistic infiltration into our state government. The bill provided that any person who by oath bound himself to support the military or political policies of any foreign government, official, or organization, would be ineligible to hold any public office. It provided, further, that any person who knowingly appointed such an ineligible person to office should be guilty of a crime. The bill had rather rough sledding in the assembly, but finally passed the lower house and went sailing through the state senate to the office of Governor Olson. Did Governor Olson sign this truly American piece of legislation? He did not. Governor Olson vetoed that bill, and by his veto, any kind of a communist or fifth columnist may, with impunity, accept all the employment Governor Olson or anyone else in our state government will give. Governor Olson now tells the people of Orange county to elect certain men to the legislature and to defeat Assembly- Weekly Watchtower POLITICAL HEADQUARTERS; PLENTY; NOT MUCH TALKING; If there isn’t as much politics being talked around the council seat as expected, it is not because of lack of places to do it in town has more political headquarters than have been seen in long time. There is an official “democratic headquarters,” which is supposed to be promoting candidates. Each of the congressional candidates on the democartic ticket also labelled as democratic headquarters. On top of that “democratic club for Willheadquarters. And still further the “Pro-America” group, we is composed mostly of democratic women, have set up a place their own. So far there is only one republican headquarters open; is devoting itself to the Will campaign, with some promotion of the Loudon congressional campaign on the side, there being contest in the primary on its office. None of these headquarters crowded with visitors. In fact, workers are about the only people who ever show up. Perhaps all the primary there will be no activity. The fact is that there still very little public interest in various primary races. Too many folks are talking about the vote and political talk centers around the national situation. SOME SUFFER FOR OLSON’S SAKE Candidates for the primary The bill had rather rough sledding in the assembly, but finally passed the lower house and went sailing through the state senate to the office of Governor Olson. Did Governor Olson sign this truly American piece of legislation? He did not. Governor Olson vetoed that bill, and by his veto, any kind of a communist or fifth columnist may, with impunity, accept all the employment Governor Olson or anyone else in our state government will give. Governor Olson now tells the people of Orange county to elect certain men to the legislature and to defeat Assemblyman Thomas H. Kuchel, running for the state senate, and Assemblyman Clyde Watson, running for re-election to the assembly from southern Orange county. In the assembly, Assemblyman Kuchel voted for the anti-fifth-column bill, which Olson killed by his veto. We believe that the people of this county are overwhelmingly in favor of this type of legislation, and denounce Olson’s veto of it. Perhaps the Olson-attempted purge ought to be the other way around. MR. DIES ON ICKLES AND MADAME PERKINS The forthright demand of Martin Dies, Texas Democratic congressman, that Harold Ickes and Madame Perkins resign from the President’s cabinet illustrates rather clearly that partisanship is being side tracked this year by all classes of people in their efforts to root out of government not only downright un-Americans, but also any official who gives, by word or deed, aid or comfort to agitators. The pitiable plight of the democracy of France is the culmination of a decade of communistic infiltration and infestation which, little by little, tore away that nation’s freedom and ripened it for the “fifth column kill.” The same program could ruin any democratic government. But the people of our own beloved country are awakening to the manifold dangers within our borders, and are not going to tolerate alien influences masqueraded under the guise of liberal partisanship. No one can deny that Madame Perkins has given plenty of comfort to alien radicals in our country, such as Mr. Harry Bridges, and, in the case of Mr. Ickes, Americans have disliked the kind of public statements which he all too frequently utters. The chances are that neither Madame Perkins nor Mr. Ickes will resign as Mr. Dies has suggested, but the greatest gain from his suggestion is the demonstration that Americans love their country and democracy more than they care for the partisan groups. A Woman Looks On BY MARY ROUTT PATTERSON WASHINGTON — In ordinary summers, the national capital is a dull and lonely spot on the Potomac. Congress usually packs remains in Washington for the summer but because the building is the headquarters of the National Defense Council which is the busiest group in Washington today. The members of the Defense Council work not only mornings, afternoons and during the lunch and dinner hours but they hold night sessions several times a week. The Washington Roof, the coolest place in town, gives evidence that by no means all of the Capital socialites have fled to Bar Harbor, and the newspaper cor- WASHINGTON — In ordinary summers, the national capital is a dull and lonely spot on the Potomac. Congress usually packs its brief cases and goes home by this time; the President leaves on vacation! the White House guards are the sole signs of life around the executive mansion; the city socialites run for cool lakes and mountain scenery, and the newspaper correspondents struggle to uncover sufficient news to fill their copy space. I recall one August when political reporters resorted in their extremity to the aquarium in the Commerce Building for news sources. But this is no ordinary summer; 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a busy summer White House. Except for brief periods in Hyde Park and week-end defense inspection trips the President is remaining in Washington. The outer executive lobby is filled almost every day with presidential callers and White House correspondents. Out on the Hill Congress is plugging along on important legislation with no adjournment date in sight. Cabinet members have sent their wives to more comfortable places but they, themselves remain on call from the President and to attend regular Cabinet meetings which Mr. Roosevelt has not discontinued for the summer. The Federal Reserve Building is experiencing the most exciting period of its existence, not only because the Board of Governors is the headquarters of the National Defense Council which is the busiest group in Washington today. The members of the Defense Council work not only mornings, afternoons and during the lunch and dinner hours but they hold night sessions several times a week. The Washington Roof, the coolest place in town, gives evidence that by no means all of the Capital socialites have fled to Bar Harbor, and the newspaper correspondents, political, economic and social, are so overwhelmed with the abundance of news that they are praying for a let up. Vice President Garner is the only official AWOL. Even some of the members of the Supreme Court are staying on, not because the court might be called into extraordinary session but because they are concerned in the capital scene at this time. For Washington, this summer, is the seat of the nation's activities and the center of its interest. Perhaps when the political campaign gets under way the capital city will have some competition, but an important part of the New Deal campaign strategy will be to Columbia and not allow it to try to continue to focus the country's attention on the District of wander off in Mr. Willkie's direction. Joseph H. Laughlin Fined $50 by Court Joseph H. Laughlin paid a fine of $50 in Anaheim justice court this week after pleading guilty before Justice Charles Kuchel to a charge of driving while intoxicated. He also pleaded guilty to a drunk charge and drew a 10-day suspended sentence on that count. Weekly Watchtower INTICAL HEADQUARTERS COUNTY; NOT MUCH TALK There isn't as much politics talked around the county as expected, it is not because lack of places to do it in. The county has more political headquarter than have been seen in a time. There is an official "democratic quarters," which is supposed to promote candidates. Then of the congressional candidate on the democartic ticket has once also labelled as democratic quarters. On top of that a democratic club for Willkie's quarters. And still further, "Pro-America" group, which composed mostly of democratic men, have set up a place of own. Far there is only one actual public headquarters open. It voting itself to the Willkieaign, with some promotion by Loudon congressional camerons on the side, there being no last in the primary on this day. One of these headquarters are held with visitors. In fact the voters are about the only people ever show up. Perhaps after primary there will be more city. The fact is that there still is little public interest in the bus primary races. Too many are talking about the war, political talk centers mainly and the national situation.

THINK GRAND JURY HAS STRONG PERSONNEL A study of the list of persons selected for the 1940 grand jury last week reveals a strong personnel. There are numerous persons on it who will contribute brains, energy and honesty. Likewise, they are free from entangling alliances in a business or professional way and under no obligation to pressure groups which might try to pull strings on them. The only reason so far for calling the jury so early, however, is to make it possible for them to sit in on county budget hearings. In just what way this will be a benefit is not clear. It will be the first time that a grand jury has been charged with that duty. Some think there are secret matters on the docket for grand jury investigation as yet undisclosed. They may have to do with defense and "fifth column" activities. Always has seemed to me that the conduct of 1,500 or 2,000 men and women in a theater was a fairly dependable indication of their feelings and opinions. Almost from the beginning of motion pictures I have found this audience-response a state barometer. For this reason I have made a "survey" of five principal theaters in Los Angeles, a city said to be in the Democratic column. If the crowd of a political meeting cheered at mention of a man's name it wouldn't have any effect on me, but in a theater filled with an audience seeking entertainment, the peoples reaction is important. Here, for example, comes the Newsreel. The worldrenowned General Pershing is shown on the screen. Not a cheer. Not one hand-clasp. Same for several nationally known men and women. What's this? Here is a smiling man, brushing his hair back off his forehead—smiling face, smiling eyes that twinkle. And the audience, cheers and yells and jumps up and down and seems determined to start a parade. Six months ago few of these people had heard this man's name. Precisely the same conduct in all the theaters. Who was he—You know. Wendell Willkie! A full-sized hydraulic landing gear has been installed at the army air school at Glendale, Calif. The mechanism is mounted on a special framework which permits it to operate as if on a plane. Join the Chamber of Commerce.
