WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS Back in Washington. Not much change in five weeks, in spite of the election. The Capitol is still here and apparently unchanged, and so is the White House! The morning papers report that the President is thinking of having the inaugural on the south porthico of the White House. The reason given was "economy." It is amusing to think how we must puzzle the people of other nations. Here, in the heat of a great war, we carry on a political campaign; candidates go after each other hammer and tongs; the people vote; two days later the country rolls along as before. This is not only the way of a republic; it is the safety valve of a democracy. There are two things to be watched, as the result of this particular election. One is the human weakness which will be shown by the legislators running for cover on controversial issues. Men who stood firmly when they felt the people were behind them on matters of economy, good government, and in opposition to national socialism, will now experience a weakening of the vertebral column. The great man who once said he "would rather be right than president" is regretfully outnumbered by the lesser men who would rather be re-elected than right. You are apt to see a wavering in the Congress on some problems until the people again indicate just what it was they voted on three weeks ago. We had something like this in California between 1938 and 1942. We had a Governor who owed his election to the poor judgment of the Republicans, to the national On November 7th, 53% of the voters wanted to continue the President in office; 47% did not. The people who didn't had much stronger opinions on the subject than the 53%. This was obvious in the last days of the campaign. The appeal to wives, mothers, fathers, and other relatives of men in the service overseas, that a change might delay the end of the war, even one day, could alone have accounted for much of the 3%. It has been said that the vote was decided by the three W's—War, Women and Warriors. Perhaps so, perhaps not, who can tell? Of this we are sure; the deciding factors were connected with the war, not with socialized medicine, or whatever you want to call it, increased wages in time of war, and a lot of miscellaneous ideas, many of them leading directly to national socialism, that were not in the minds of the voters, but which will now be offered the Congress as "Mandates of the People," evidenced by the November 7th results. It would be well for the voters to think of this, and to let the Members of the Congress know whether or not these were deciding factors in casting votes. It will be a serious session, the new 79th, and I enter it with interest, and with that courage which comes from having the privileges of representing a District like the 22nd. BASLER REST HOME Announcement has been made that the Basler Rest Home at 1015 North Broadway, Santa Ana, is open and receiving patients. Located only a few blocks from the heart of town in one of Santa AAA and THE FARMER SUPPLIES SHOW SIGN OF MORE SUGAR BEETS Sugar beet growers have evidence of the need for an increase in acreage in 1945 through the USDA's report that sugar supplies available to the United States are likely to be smaller next year than in 1944 due to prospects for a reduced Cuban crop and smaller reserve stocks. The War Food Administration has already advised growers that the 1945 price support program will be at least favorable as the 1944 program under which California growers will average about $13.50 per ton of beets. It appears that total supplies for the U.S. will be about 20 percent larger during the calendar year 1944 than they were in 1943, due almost entirely to increased production in the Carribbean Islands, principally Cuba. The production of beet sugar, from the crop harvested in the fall of 1943 was drastically reduced in both the U.S. and Canada. For the past two years, U.S. sugar beet age has been considerably below the War Food Administration goals for the crop. Stocks of sugar available to the United Nations on January 1, 1945 in exporting countries, were about one-third smaller than they were one year earlier. The distribution of sugar from the Carribbean Islands continues to be under close supervision of the Government of U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom, and sugar supplies in the area controlled by the United Nations are likely to continue to be relatively scarce and the demand large, as long as the war in Asia continues. Large imports of sugar have been cut off by Japan and the loss of rubber imports from the Far East has diverted some sugar into the production of alcohol for synthetic rubber. We had something like this in California between 1938 and 1942. We had a Governor who owed his election to the poor judgment of the Republicans, to the national Democratic trend, to Ham 'n Eggs, to the unwillingness of certain groups in Los Angeles to consider broad conditions as well as their own personal desires; to the popularity and ability of his campaign treasurer, and to a miscellany of other election influences including that, of the candidates, he LOOKED most like a Governor! Yet for months every measure presented to the Legislature, from outright socialism to the biggest budget in the history of the State, was a "Mandate of the People." BASLER REST HOME Announcement has been made that the Basler Rest Home at 1015 North Broadway, Santa Ana, is open and receiving patients. Located only a few blocks from the heart of town in one of Santa Anita's nicest homes set back in large beautiful grounds, it provides an ideal atmosphere for the comfort and care of convalescents, chronics, elderly patients or others who may need rest and care. The house has eleven large rooms, four baths and an elevator. Meals are served in the rooms and twenty-four hour attendance is maintained to provide for the patient's every care and comfort.

Lumber control regulations have been liberated by the War Production Board to permit a farmer to receive up to 5,000 board feet of lumber annually without county AAA certifications providing the lumber is cut from trees grown on the farmer's land. Previously a farmer who cut trees from his own farm could take them to a sawmill, but could not receive lumber from them unless his county AAA committee had authorized him to do so, or unless the sawmill was not subject to war time lumber controls. The action will not affect the lumber supply for other purposes but should result in more lumber for farm use. BITS AND PIECES: America's 11 far Western States could double their population through irrigation—from 15,000,000 to at least 30,000,000 people—if the water resources of the West were used to their utmost, says William E. Warne, Assistant Commissioner of Reclamation. Because the United States military forces have been unable to obtain sufficient beef under present set-aside provisions, the War Food Administration, beginning September 3, required slaughterers operating under Federal inspection to set aside 60 percent of the quantities of beef which meet army specifications. The quantities now required are 50 percent. State's Cash Excess Slightly Down From Last Month SACRAMENTO. — State Controller Harry B.

ORANGE COUNTY BEVERAGE DEALERS SACRAMENTO. — State Controller Harry B. Riley today announced that the State’s general Fund cash excess over current obligations on October 31, 1944, was $68,423,874, as compared with an excess of $73,145,541 at the end of the preceding month and an excess of $103,141,460 on October 31, 1943. The present cash excess said Riley represents a decrease of $4,721,667 under the figure for September 30, 1944. This decrease represents a $4,747,708 excess of October expenditures over revenues, which is partially offset by miscellaneous non-revenue receipts totaling $26,041. General Fund revenues deposited in the State Treasury during the first four months of the 96th fiscal year totaled $71,611,044—a decrease of $14,230,233 under collections for the same period last year. During the next six weeks ending November 4th, 3,880,000 boxes of Southern California valencia oranges were shipped compared to 3,130,000 boxes a year ago, reports the California Fruit Growers Exchange. No Anaheim resident can afford to be without The Gazette at the small cost of only $2.00 a year. BONDS Keep Bombs Falling! ANAHEIM GAZETTE FOR beet growers have evinced the need for an increased crop in 1945 through the report that sugar supplies to the United States are to be smaller next year in 1944 due to prospects for increased Cuban crop and smaller stocks. The War Food Administration has already advised that the 1945 price supragram will be at least as stable as the 1944 program unchanged California growers will be about $13.50 per ton of it appears that total support the U.S. will be about percent larger during the cal-year 1944 than they were in due almost entirely to industrial production in the Carribeands, principally Cuba. The notion of beet sugar, from the harvested in the fall of 1943, dramatically reduced in both U.S. and Canada. For the past years, U.S. sugar beet acres been considerably below War Food Administration's for the crop. Kinds of sugar available to the Nations on January 1, 1944, exporting countries, were about third smaller than they were earlier. The distribution war from the Carribean is continues to be under the supervision of the Governor of the U.S., Canada, and United Kingdom, and sugars in the area controlled by United Nations are likely to be to be relatively scarce demand large, as long as war in Asia continues. Large lots of sugar have been cut Japan and the loss of rubber exports from the Far East has some sugar into the process of alcohol for synthetic Report Shows Valencia Crop Exhausted; Lemon Demand High, But Supply Short Two shortages—labor and pest control—operated against maximum agricultural production in Southern California during October, according to the monthly crop report issued by the Los Angeles County Chamber of Commerce. All counties reported a labor shortage, the report says, adding that "the picture is not too bright as the period of peak harvest labor requirements sets in and Mexican nationals' contracts are expiring and not being renewed. Early reports indicate a general reduction in the acreage of those crops which require considerable labor, due chiefly to the uncertainty of the future labor supply." From a climatic standpoint October was a good harvest month, the report adds. October shipments of Valencia oranges were ahead of those for the same month the last two years and, by the end of the month, all but 3,000 of the estimated 58,500 cars of Southern California Valencias had been shipped, the report states. Harvest of Navels began early this month. Lemons are in heavy demand, with the supply short. Storage stocks are lower than in years. The grapefruit crop will be slightly smaller while avocado deliveries were light and the price up. Prospects are for a light new crop, harvesting of which is to begin this month. September heat waves caused a loss of $6,000,000 to the walnut crop, even divided between reduced volume and quality. The crop, however, will exceed that of any previous season in both tonage and value. Grape harvest is three-fourths completed with the price satisfactory. Orange County Beverage Dealers, said that the distribution of the liquors would be in the hands of the retail dealers in the various communities of the county and would be on a "first come, first served" basis. Early bond purchasers will be assured of being able to buy a case of liquor at ceiling prices, he said, and a dealer may pool the bond purchases in order to make a high denomination total. Retail distributors of beverages throughout the county have been given full details of the distribution plan and have pledged their cooperation in the beverage industries drive, Brinkerhoff said. Hunting Outlook Not So Good In Local Counties Quail have scattered since the rains in Los Angeles county, according to the Outing Department of the National Automobile club. Much of the best hunting territory is closed to hunters because the Chino State Prison farm has leased the land from the Flood Control district along Chino and the Santa Ana river—a fact much regretted by sportsmen for the land is ideal and they feel it should be open to the public. Pheasant are numerous along Santa Ana river. Quail are plentiful in Mint canyon, Acton, and Kentucky Springs. Quail hunting in Orange county will be just fair in foothills near areas farmed to grain. The pheasant hunting outlook is poor.

A certifications providing bar is cut from trees grown farmer's land. Previously, he who cut trees from his farm could take them to a but could not receive from them unless his AAA committee had auch him to do so, or unless the was not subject to warmember controls. The action affect the lumber supply purposes but should remomore lumber for farm use. AND PIECES: America's Western States could dourer population through irrifiation from 15,000,000 to at least 100 people—if the water reof the West were used to most, says William E.

Lemon St., Anaheim Thursday, November 23, 1944 Emmer Resident of Ana to Speak Ebell Club Review of conditions, prob- and outstanding features of struggle for supremacy in the will be presented to memMore than 2,000,000 commercial employees in Southern California were reminded today by Collector of Internal Revenue Harry C. Westover that new Withholding Exemption Certificates must be filed with their employers by December 1. Failure to file a new withholding exemption certificate will mean that the employer will withhold income tax from wages without allowing any exemptions. Certificates now, in effect will not be used after December 31, 1944. The new certificates become effective with the first payment of wages on and after January 1, 1945. Employers are now distributing the new exemption certificates (Form W-4) and also a small pamphlet which will give each employee the necessary information as to how to count exemptions and to fill out the form. Agricultural and domestic employees as well as members of the armed forces are not required to file exemption certificates as they are not subject to withholding tax.
