WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS The Sunday after Mr. Roosevelt died I was sitting at home, before the wood fire (California papers please copy) and I put down on a sheet of yellow paper what I thought would happen in the way of changes of policy and people. That slight excursion into the realm of the crystal ball will be three days short of four weeks old when you read this. Mr. Truman is a man of understanding background and simple and friendly reactions. He has had to "make a payroll," a valuable experience denied to the slide rule boys and girls of the New Deal who dish out the earnings and the savings of the taxpayers. He has been successful, and he has failed in business, and there was no paternalistic government to come to his rescue. He is, therefore, a man of the people, particularly of the little people; a happy choice for president under present conditions. He is an "organization man," but that is also understandable. We may not always like it, but we understand it. We also understand loyalty and honesty. Translating this: the back door of the White House will be closed. Harry Hopkins will return to the Mayo clinic, (he is a sick man) or to Georgetown. Judge Rosenman will return to New York; Justice Frankfurter will find his work on the Supreme Court will require all his time. Frances Perkins has been trying to resign and will now be successful. Morgenthau will be replaced in the Treasury. Recalling the hot argument over Wallace and Jesse Jones it should be significant that job was filled quickly and quietly with John W. Snyder, a Misouri banker, of whom few people had heard. The ideologists will be replaced by Avocado Acreage Increasing Here Orange county has proved a natural for avocado production. The industry has grown from a tree or two in 1891 to a million dollar production in 1944. This was the keynote of an address by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg at the annual meeting of the California Avocado society last Saturday at Santa Ana. One of the first avocado trees in Orange county was planted by Sherman Stevens at his residence in Tustin. The tree is now 54 years old and in healthy condition. It is a Mexican seedling which he brought in from Montemorelos, Mex., in 1891. Probably the largest avocado tree in southern California is a Mexican seedling on the property of A.J.McFadden at Irvine. It measures 70 feet in height and the trunk is three feet in diameter. H.H.Gardner, Villa Park, has another avocado tree 60 feet high and almost four feet in diameter. These trees demonstrate the fertility and adaptability of deep soils for vigorous tree growth. The first commercial Fuerte avocado orchard was planted in Yorba Linda in the spring following the heavy freeze of 1913. It is the former Wheaton orchard now owned by Mrs.H.D.Tuffree. Many varieties were originated in Orange county during the early years. Among them are the Taft, Sharpless, Monroe, Queen, Linda, Dutton, Anaheim, and others. A new and superior strain of the Fuerte variety originated at the San Juaquin Fruit company holdings near Tustin. It is called the Newman Fuerte in honor of Anaheim Union High school students celebrated V-E Day by writing more than 200 letters former students who are battle fronts in the Pacific War of operations and them that they who were would continue to help them "out there" in every way and that there would be down on the home front mills the European war is over letters were turned in to school office and were to mediate sent out via Since Pearl Harbor 290 boats the high school have been into service and the major them are serving in the Pa. A special V-E assembly called during the morning Principal Paul Demaree brief talk on the significance of the day. The rest of the program was put on by students and special emphasis placed on the fact that they only partially won and that must be no let down until the war against Japan terminated in complete victory. An impressive part of the gram was the reading of nine 290 students who sawered the call to arms. Names were read the school played the marching song are representative of each of the service. A skit, written by Wanda Hart, Chad Boliek and Lynn Liek was then presented and carried out the theme of what ny would find when he home and the type of world that he will have here bring about. Taking part in skit were Betty Hylton, Let better, Duane Smith, Lonnings and Bob Juszkiebicz. will return to New York; Justice Frankfarter will find his work on the Supreme Court will require all his time. Frances Perkins has been trying to resign and will now be successful. Morgenthau will be replaced in the Treasury. Recalling the hot argument over Wallace and Jesse Jones it should be significant that job was filled quickly and quietly with John W. Snyder, a Missouri banker, of whom few people had heard. The ideologists will be replaced by experienced men, perhaps smaller in the glare of national publicity. More significant, and with surprisingly little notice in the papers, was the quiet announcement last week that Lend-Lease would from now on be used for material to defeat our enemies. That was what Congress intended it for. Unlimited supplies of food; and everything from diapers to automobiles, which have created a perpetual Christmas abroad, are ended. Miss Perkins will be replaced by a firmer and more respected labor man. The CIO and the AFL will both have the ear of the White House, but the AFL counsels will be more often listened to, and it will no longer be necessary to "clear everything with Sidney." Were Henry Wallace, who missed the presidency by 82 days, in the office, anything done for Hillman would have been for a "cause," for an Ideology. If anything is done by Mr. Truman, it will be strictly in return for the political support at Chicago; the debt will be paid, the books put in balance. The discussions here of men for policy jobs center around the West and Middlewest. We have a president who knows there is part of the United States west of the Mississippi, and perhaps West of the Rockies. I am prepared for even that shock. (Subsequent appointments confirm this): Edwin Pauley will undoubtedly get recognition from the administration: This means a spokesman for California. (He has been made the American representative on the Reparations Committee). The pseudo-ultra-liberals of the California delegation in Congress, who put on a last ditch fight for Wallace at Chicago, to the extent of refusing the customary courtesy of a "unanimous vote" for Truman, are now out on a limb. The relations between the White House and Congress will be markedly changed. Seventeen hours after he took the oath of office, the President had lunch on the Hill with the leaders of The pseudo-ultra-liberals of the California delegation in Congress, who put on a last ditch fight for Wallace at Chicago, to the extent of refusing the customary courtesy of a "unanimous vote" for Truman, are now out on a limb. The relations between the White House and Congress will be markedly changed. Seventeen hours after he took the oath of office, the President had lunch on the Hill with the leaders of the Senate. (Yesterday he came to the Hill again and met with the Representatives). Mr. Stettinius will go, by the easy way of having a job found for him in the world organization. He belongs to Hollywood more than to the Department of State; Mr. Roosevelt was his own Secretary of State. He was largely his own Navy Secretary but Forrestal has ability and will stay. Wallace will stay in Commerce and, if divorced from the chance of spending the government's money, and his trusting confidence in the counsels of his advisers of the last four years, can do a job. These were the notes. How do they compare with yours? IN BEAUTY CONTEST Miss Eileen Salaets, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al Salaets of Anaheim has been chosen to represent Oceanside in its annual nation-wide beauty contest that will be held on June 3. Miss Salaets graduated from the Anaheim Union High school in the class of 1941. It isn't too good to be true! The housewife's dream of a modern service porch where all the clothes are washed, clean as clean can be, by the snap of a switch—and electrically dried and ironed, too—can come true for you! Just think—most of the tiring, time-consuming work of washing and ironing can be left to your dependable electric servant, Reddy Kilowatt! You know how much time and work and worry Reddy saves you today—you'll marvel at what Reddy can do for you in your modern all-electric home! Students Honor V-E Day By Writing Overseas Letters Anaheim Union High school students celebrated V-E day by writing more than 200 letters to former students who are now on battle fronts in the Pacific theater of operations and assured them that they who were at home would continue to help the ones out there" in every way possible and that there would be no let down on the home front now that the European war is over. The letters were turned in at the school office and were to be immediately sent out via airmail. Since Pearl Harbor 290 boys from the high school have been called into service and the majority of them are serving in the Pacific. A special V-E assembly was called during the morning and principal Paul Demaree gave a brief talk on the significance of the day. The rest of the prepared program was put on by the students and special emphasis was placed on the fact that the war is only partially won and that there must be no let down in effort until the war against Japan has terminated in complete victory. An impressive part of the program was the reading of names of the 290 students who have answered the call to arms. As the times were read the school band played the marching songs that representive of each branch of the service. A skit, written by Wanda Rineart, Chad Boliek and Lynn Bock was then presented and carried out the theme of what John would find when he comes home and the type of post-war world that he will have helped to bring about. Taking part in the skit were Betty Hylton, Leta Lediter, Duane Smith, Lonnie Collins and Bob Juszkiebicz. Scout Camporee Held Last Weekend At Camp Tonner More than fifty Anaheim Boy Scouts attended the annual Boy Scout Camporee that was held last Saturday and Sunday at Tonner camp above Brea. Lloyd Paxton, executive secretary for the Northern Orange County council, was in charge of the session that included a song and stunt program Saturday evening and church services and scout contests on Sunday. Nearly 200 scouts from the northern part of the county enjoyed the outing. From Anaheim went Troop 72 (American Legion); Troop 74 (Kiwanis) and Troop 70 (Lions); a troop from Orangethorpe school and one from Cypress. Scoutmasters attending from here were Leonard Schwacofer, Jerry Young, Paul Jungkeit, P. H. Pendleton and Fred Bewley. More than 2,500,000 persons in the United States speak Spanish as their native tongue. Speaker Stresses Need for More Victory Gardens With the food situation on the home front tightening all the time H. W. Longfellow, Assistant Farm Advisor, for Orange county, discussed the value of the home garden last Friday afternoon when he addressed members of the Lion's club at the Elk's clubhouse. He urged an increasing participation in the victory garden program and explained the simplest procedures for a successful garden. He accompanied his talk with the showing of slides on garden arrangement. Ray Reaf-snyder, program chairman for the day, introduced the speaker. President Thayer Chapman appointed a nominating committee composed of Francis Elliott, Dr. John Boege and Joe Schulz and announced that election of officers for the ensuing year will take place May 18.

After fighting bloody battles in the Pacific, he was home on leave two years ago. You may remember seeing his picture. His name is John Basilone, Marine Gunnery Sergeant. He traveled all over America, urging every American to buy more bonds. He said: "You don't know—you can't know—how much it means to the boys out there when they hear the folks back home have just put another War Bond Drive over the top." Marine Gunnery Sergeant.
