WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS Here are a few suggestions for the New Deal: This is written on the train rolling merrily across the fertile fields of California (41% of whose land is now owned by the government), Nevada (78%), Utah (68%), Wyoming (45%), on the way to Omaha for a conference, and from there to Washington. With uncountable (and unaccountable) agencies of government controlling every phase of life from the cradle to the grave (for you have to get a certificate that you're born and a permit to be buried) you wouldn't think that anything had been overlooked, would you? Take food containers, for example: You know the standard set of four. The big one is marked "Flour" and the others "Coffee," "Sugar," "Tea". Do they hold Flour, Coffee, Sugar, Tea, as marked? In the year 1891, a set in Lititz, Pennsylvania, was known to have been used as marked, this is the only recorded case, and it is understood that shortly afterwards the Four container was used for pretzels, and the others for normal uses. An average investigator would discover the Flour container holding sugar; the Sugar container half full of salt; the Coffee container holding tea bags, and the Tea container holding peppermints your wife is trying to save for next Sunday's dinner, when the children are expected home. I don't see how the New Deal overlapped this opportunity. An average investigator would discover the Flour container holding sugar; the Sugar container half full of salt; the Coffee container holding tea bags, and the Tea container holding peppermints your wife is trying to save for next Sunday's dinner, when the children are expected home. I don't see how the New Deal overlooked this opportunity. The KCA (Kitchen Container Administration) could offer jobs to thousands, among them the investigators recently discouraged by publicity in this column and others from continuing the questionnaires in which they asked for the names of all your friends; how many times you had visited them last year; which church you attended; if you had changed churches, and whether you now attended more frequently. I probably should have saved that suggestion until after election, but then the New Deal may not have the same opportunities after November if the Democrats like a New Deal Plan for the Future of the United States. The NWHDRRA (National Women's Hats Design Regulation and Rationing Administration) could employ, design and regulate to an extent that would make even the OPA jealous. For example, when is a hat not a hat? If the OPA can put out pages and pages of 8 pt. and 10 pt. regulations to describe hamburger and how to bake a cake, what couldn't the NWHDRRA do with hats. Is a yard of ribbon a hat or not a hat? Are flowers in the hair to be classed as hats? If real flowers, do they come under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture, and if synthetic, is a certificate of non-essential material required from the FWPB? Must Judge Vinson decide, or Justice Byrnes? Should Frances Perkins be transferred to the NWHDRRA, in charge of the Bureau of Design, or should she be left where she is, and by the way where is she? I rise to remark that we asked, by our votes for centralized government and regulations, and we're getting them. I'm only trying to be helpful. California Business Income For Year 1943 In Excess of Forty-Two Billions SAN FRANCISCO—Gross 1943 incomes of California business enterprises, plus the net incomes of individuals, are estimated to be in excess of $42,454,751,000 in a report just issued by the Research Department of the California State Chamber of Commerce. According to the State Chamber study $31,354,751,000 of California’s gross income derived from business and industrial enterprises. In the prewar year 1939, the report shows, total gross income was $20,018,653,000. This increased to $334,962,757,000 in 1942. In the depression year 1933 gross transactions totaled only $11,792,862,000 or considerably less than one-third the present totals. Among business enterprises, manufacturing provided the largest source of gross income with an estimated total last year of $10,-526,541,000. For wholesale trade the report estimates on income of $7,452,775,000; and for retail trade,$5,352,329,000. Finance services and miscellaneous enterprises accounted for $4,046,000,000 of the state's gross income and gross agricultural income exceeded $1,-520,119,000. Other important classifications included construction, transportation, and mining and oil. You get all the local news in The Gazette.

Is Told The important part blimps have played in ridding the seas of enemy submarines and the possibilities of commercial use of lighter-than-air ships in the post-war era were told to some 120 members of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County by Capt. M. R. Pierce, commanding officer of the Santa Ana Naval Air Station Tuesday evening as civic leaders from all over Orange county dined in the officers' mess at the big blimp base as guests of the air base officers. The dinner meeting followed a tour of the important military reservation which was participated in by several hundred other members and friends of the Associated chambers. Significant to Orange county people was the statement by Capt. Pierce that the Ryan School of Aeronautics has applied to the Civil Aeronautics Authority for permission to engage in commercial use of lighter-than-air ships between Los Angeles and Honolulu after the war and that Santa Ana is the logical take-off place for the Los Angeles area. Capt. Pierce, who formerly was in command at Lakehurst, New Jersey, before being placed in charge of the Naval Air Station at Santa Ana, was enthusiastic as to the possibilities of airships in commerce as well as for military observation. The fuel economy, great cruising range, and navigation advantages of the airship are important factors in favor of its further development and use, he said. He told of the records of the big rigid airships of the past and pointed out that the Hindenburg disaster was due to the use of hydrogen, which is now supplanted by non-combustible helium. The airship and the airplane have separate and distinct fields, Capt. Pierce pointed out. The airship has been improved greatly in the past 10 years, he said, and he predicted that in the future, big airships will be flying all the way to China, circumnavigating storms, taking advantage of favorable prevailing winds, and carrying airplanes along for pick up and delivery of passengers enroute without stopping. Capt. Pierce revealed during the course of his talk that the next day, August 30, marks the 31st anniversary of the inauguration of naval aviation in the United States. The Naval Base commander was presented as a speaker before the group by Robt. J. Rossberg of Anaheim, chairman of the Associated's military affairs committee, who was toastmaster of the evening. Also addressing the group was Comdr. N. M. Lyon, executive officer at the base, who held his audience spellbound for an hour with an "off the record" account of his recent trip to the South Pacific battle areas with the national commander of the American Legion. During the tour of the base preceding the dinner meeting the several hundred guests visited the big hangars, were allowed to enter the control cabin of one of the blimps, saw others come in for a landing, had the operation of the helium plant explained to them and otherwise were extended the hospitality of the air base officers. The tour was arranged and conducted by Lieut. J. E. Taylor for the air base; civilian arrangements being made by H. Clay Kellogg of Garden Grove, president of the Associated Chambers and Wm. Gallienne, of Huntington Beach, secretary. Enough doughnut flour to make 70,000,000 doughnuts was shipped overseas in 1943 by the Red Cross.

They were distributed free tion to service men. Read, use Gazette Want ads. School starts next month. Why not do your shopping now — and avoid disappointment before our stocks are depleted!
