WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS Last week was an interesting week in American history. To you, who read this in print, that will be the week before last. On February 22nd each year, some member reads Washington's Farewell Address to a surprisingly well-attended house. I am more impressed with the Address as the years go by and the advice can be compared to existing conditions. It should be read February 22nd in every home, every school, and that week in other meetings. This year, immediately after the Address, without intervening business, the clerk read the President's message, with which he returned the tax veto. I think somebody in the official family at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue slipped. The contrast was too great. As one Member of Congress said afterwards, the President took more of a beating from George Washington, than Washington took from the President! There were other joking comments, of course, one being the question, on both sides of the house; if by any chance we had just heard TWO farewell addresses. An amusing incident was the arrival, slightly late, of a prominent Democrat. He had forgotten that the Farewell Address was to be read before the veto message, and walked in just as Congressman Anderson of New Mexico, who read the Farewell Message excellently, came to the words: "I should now apprise you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among the number of those, out of whom such a choice (for re-election) is to be made" cused the Congress of "fraud," criticizing a sincere attempt to get the vote to the soldiers; then one in which the President demanded a National Service Act. Now comes the tax veto message. No one really thinks the President wrote it. Conjectures include David Niles, Justice Byrnes, and Randolph Paul. It was a diplomatically dangerous message to send to a House already smarting under untrue accusations; the Democratic members simply boiled over, as you already know. It was the first time in the entire history of the United States that any President ever vetoed a regular tax bill, after it had been through both committees and both Houses. The President said, "in no uncertain terms" that the amount was too low. He spoke harshly of the renegotiation sections, and of "indefensible special privileges to favored groups." It would be hard, I am afraid to sustain these words. As many know, I did not agree with parts of the bill; nor with the final amount, but we had fought these things out, and the bill was the best result obtainable, and was not bad. The Army and Navy say that the renegotiation sections are satisfactory and will return 3½ billions to the gubernment. Most people who argue about renegotiation, perhaps including the President, do not realize that we are actually talking about only 5% of the money involved. Taxes would get the other 95% anyway, no matter what we did. Governor Warren To Headline Unified Pacific Program OMAHA, NEB., March 9—ing tribute to the state of fornia, "Your America," the Pacific railroad's NBC new program, will have Governor Warren as guest of honor Sunday, March 11. Saluting the Golden State, GOV. EARL WARREN rator Virgil Sharpe will s the history of California and the radio audience on a tour of the state. Music on the program wi clude "I Love You, Califo presented by the Union H orchestra and chorus, with Nelson McTernan as so soloist. Other highlights of the More Books Are Required if Anaheim Responds to Requests of Soldiers Second only to that universal appeal from men in service, of "Write us more home letters!" is the plea, "Give us more books to read!" To meet that urgent need, Anaheim home-makers are once again asked to go over their library shelves and select interesting and worth-while books to donate to this city's third book drive for servcemen, now underway at the city library. Miss M. Elizabeth Calnon, librarian, and members of her staff have accepted many hundreds of books in previous drives and have sent them on their way to carry cheer to men and women in the service. But they find that this third campaign is moving slowly than has heretofore been the case. "We know that it isn't a lack of interest on the part on the reading public, but rather a lack of books," Miss Calnon said today when she reported that the donations have fallen far short of what was hoped for. She advanced the opinion that people have taken so freely from their book shelves in earlier drives, that they have few books now upon which to draw, unless they give the treasured volumes that prominent Democrat. He had forgotten that the Farewell Address was to be read before the veto message, and walked in just as Congressman Anderson of New Mexico, who read the Farewell Message excellently, came to the words: "I should now apprise you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among the number of those, out of whom such a choice (for re-election) is to be made" His first reaction was that he was hearing the President refuse to be a candidate for a fourth term; he almost fell over. I think someone at No. 1600 blundered, from a political standpoint, in more ways then letting the veto message follow the Farewell Address. Since January we have had an increasingly tense situation; first the message on the "State of the Nation"; then the "Subsidy Message"; then the message in which the President ac- The Army and Navy say that the renegotiation sections are satisfactory and will return 3½ billions to the gomenment. Most people who argue about renegotiation, perhaps including the President, do not realize that we are actually talking about only 5% of the money involved. Taxes would get the other 95% anyway, no matter what we did. The President wanted a 10 billion tax bill; this bill calls for about 3½ billions. With the Army just turning back 27 billions as "more than they needed," how can the President support his bitter comments on the size of the tax? Congress overrode the veto by a vote of 299 to 95 in the House; and 72 to 14 in the Senate. The people apparently approve; I get dozens of letters and comments approving the vote, to one against it. WIDOW GETS ESTATE Mrs. Amy W. Meier was named as the sole heir to the estate of her late husband, Henry F. Meier, Orange district rancher. Property holdings produce an annual income of $5,000 and personal property, amounts to $10,000, according to the will filed in superior court. The manager urged subscriber to use the new books for numbers they may be in about, as the busy operators all the help they can get in ing the war-burdened sw boards going.

She advanced the opinion that people have taken so freely from their book shelves in earlier drives, that they have few books now upon which to draw, unless they give the treasured volumes that they wish to retain—and continue to live with. "People aren't buying quite so many books as they did a few years ago," she continued. "But if they could just realize that when they haven't books they wish to part with, a modest cash donation would be just as acceptable, we could soon fill our boxes ready to be sent on to the boys." Because of price reductions granted libraries, it would be possible to buy many books of the better type to go in with the city's donations, if such a fund could once be established through cash gifts from those interested. In the meantime the library staff suggested that gift volumes need not be the fine bindings and editions that their owners are reluctant to give away. The small "pocket books" which cost only a quarter and with which newsstands and bookstores are filled, are always acceptable to the boys who find them light to carry and a certain escape from the stern realities of war. Chaplains of nearby Navy bases have made a special plea for books to be sent on the transport ships now carrying our boys to distant points, and it is this call that Miss Calnon is seeking to answer with books collected in the current drive. All such gifts Job Printing, Gazette, Ph. 2206.

Court To Be Asked For Dismissal Of Nuisance Action Another chapter in La Habra's famous mystery story, "The Case of the Missing Rancher," was written during the past week by Orange county board of supervisors. Acting upon recommendation of County Counsel Joel Ogle, the board asked superior court to dismiss a nuisance action filed against the La Habra citrus grove of Landon S. Guthrie, who has been missing for some three years. In his unexplained disappearance, Guthrie left 10 acres of lemons and a commodious ranch home, which has since been totally destroyed by fire. The lemon grove was declared by Agricultural Commissioner Dixson W. Tubbs, to harbor pests that endangered nearby groves. Tubbs was granted an order to take any action he deemed necessary, even to destroying the trees, to prevent spread of the insect pests. In the meantime, C. L. Jordan, long-time friend of the missing rancher, asked and was granted trusteeship of the property. He immediately took steps for the control of the pests in order to save the trees and bring them into bearing, thereby laying ground for the supervisors' request for dismissal of the nuisance action.
