Crop Value of 10 Southern Counties $800 Million Say Latest Reports The monthly agricultural report of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce said the latest annual figures show that value of farm production of ten counties in Southern California is $800,000,000 per year. February was, on the average, a dry month with negligible wind and frost damage. Prices of California oranges advanced sharply due, in part, to the shipping embargo in Florida. The price remained 30 cents below last year. Valencia sizes were below normal. Lemon prices remained steady. Shipments this month were expected to exceed February movements. The demand for California grapefruit remained dull at low prices. Heavier deliveries of avocados were expected this month. The largest strawberry crop since 1942 was expected from San Diego county. Warmer weather brought better quality and sizes to Imperial county's lettuce crop. The demand and market remained good. During the latter part of March spring cauliflower should be available in volume. Chula Vista celery harvesting last month was 50 per cent complete. Quality was good and heavy plantings were in progress for harvesting in June. Cantaloup plantings remained under hot caps last month in Los Angeles and Imperial counties with the latter reporting plantings of 10,000 acres.

Cayler in an address in Santa Ana Sunday on a bill before the legislature. The bill would provide that any hospital built under the Hospital District Act must conform to the minimum standards established by the Council of Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association or the minimum standards of the American College of Surgeons. That would bar osteopaths. Dr. Cayler is director of the Bureau of Public Affairs of the California Osteopathic association. His point was that the bill would deny privileges in tax-supported district hospitals to thousands of taxpayers.

It was a history-making speech. As usual, I came back to my office, intending to set down "first impressions," and use them for this weekly letter. I find it difficult not because of a lack of first impressions but because of the increasing number of questions which arise from them. The President is not an eloquent speaker; he is a sincere speaker, and his advisers have had difficulty, from the first, when he was naturally nervous, getting him to speak slowly. His first speeches were written one sentence or one paragraph on a page of loose-leaf notebook from which he reads. He had to turn over the pages, and that kept him from reading too rapidly. On the 12th, he seemed less firm than in previous speeches; there was a note lacking which should have been present. I think we may credit this to the seriousness of the topic. The second impression was the instant question by everyone, echoed immediately by the newspapers, what about the United Nations organization? I want to write about that when I get certain other data, for which I have asked the Library of Congress. We have paid $2,750,000,000 into the International Monetary Fund. We are supposed to be paying about 41 per cent into that fund, and I am unable to get figures on whether or not the other nations have actually paid. Most of them have not, apparently. In addition, some have promptly asked for loans greatly in excess of their payments, which was to be expected, but still creates an interesting situation. Russia does not contribute to that fund. I am more concerned about the "UN" organization. For 1947 I have-a figure of $21,000,000 for its budget, and for 1948, $27,000,-000. Unfortunately, I can't tell from the available data if that is the total budget or the U.S. share. I think it is the total. An interesting sidelight is that so little of this information is available that the Library did not have it. I am getting it. Russia is a member of UN but tried, I recall to the League? Hitler went to Saar, feeling his way; he stopped. Japan went in churia; the League spent talking. Mussolini we Ethiopia; and the impact the League was apparent world. Isn't this a similar Are we to step into the Turkish situation alone, a new world-peace protector in on behalf of all national policies after World War II? Why should we not think same policies applied now produce another Munich World War III? Yet this reason given for by-pass is because we want to act other Munich. To a couple these things don't add up. In 1820 Monroe laid doctrine which has had no do with keeping peace hemisphere and keeping away from us. The English that, as did the German personal experiences. I step outside that policy not UN, take over the position of a collapsing Doctrine out the window we stronger to do all than to do it in cooperation other peace-desiring nation. What about the Orient just moved out of an equious situation in China that the factions have that out for themselves. Just as much an issue in Greece or in Turkey we consistent? To a Californiese state is "down there of the world" as Johnarty once wrote, and when as they do not know state department, that there of the world looks to them rather than to Europe, the job we stepped out of seem as vital to world peace as one we are inviting onto into, wouldn't it? This letter solves makes no attempt to. First impressions of the dent's speech of March 16th assurance that this national office is trying Mrs. Lelia Eastman, chairman of the Orange County Republican Central Committee presented a resume of the national and state Republican organization and outlined coming campaign plans. During the concluding social hour, delicious refreshments were served by Mr. and Mrs. Schmid. You Can Phone Your Car Now If It's Near L. A. It became possible yesterday for a man at his desk in Los Angeles to communicate with his representative in an automobile 25 to 30 miles away. The Southern California Telephone company has installed an "experimental commercial" mobile telephone service which makes possible two-way telephone service between a motor vehicle and any telephone connected with the Bell System lines. In the beginning the service will be strictly limited as only one channel of communication now is available, but as more channels are made available the service is expected to expand. The telephone will equip an automobile with mobile equipment for $25 and bill the owner $15 a month thereafter, plus a charge of 3Q to 40 cents for each three minute call. There is also a one-way signalling service for half price. FIRST AID COURSE SET FOR APRIL A first aid course, open to anyone interested, will be started in April, Mrs. L. N. Wisser, local Red Cross chapter chairman, announced. The exact date and meeting place will be scheduled soon. Three Farm Bills Given Approval By Farm Bureau The Orange County Farm Bureau has advised the county's representatives in the legislature that it favors three related measures which are designed to assist agriculture. One of the measures, Assembly Bill 2082, would make available to the county about $330,000 now frozen in a fund of $2,000,000 representing the state's share of contributions by the pari-mutuels for establishing county agricultural centers to house the count agricultural commissioner, the Agricultural Extension Service and other tax-supported agencies related to agriculture. Assembly Bill 2080 would permit boards of supervisors to legalize the use of county-owned estate by any state or agency serving agriculture. The third measure, Bill 2081, wouldn't affect county. It would delete educational code the re-that counties having less than 700,000 may spend only annually on extension work home economics.

HINGTON As Seen By BASSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS The League? Hitler went into the Saar, feeling his way; he wasn't stopped. Japan went into Manchuria; the League spent its time talking. Mussolini went into Ethiopia; and the impotence of the League was apparent to the world. Isn't this a similar case? Are we to step into the Greek-Turkish situation alone, or is the new world-peace protector to step on behalf of all nations? The policies after World War I produced Munich and World War II. Why should we not think that the same policies applied now will produce another Munich and World War III? Yet the major reason given for by-passing UNs because we want to avoid another Munich. To a country boy, these things don't add up right. In 1820 Monroe laid down a doctrine which has had much to do with keeping peace in this hemisphere and keeping wars away from us. The English know what, as did the Germans, from personal experiences. Now we step outside that policy and we, not UN, take over the preservation of a collapsing Europe. Doesn't that throw the Monroe Doctrine out the window? Are we stronger to do all this alone, than to do it in cooperation with other peace-desiring nations? What about the Orient? We've just moved out of an equally serious situation in China, saying that the factions have to work that out for themselves. Russia is just as much an issue there as in Greece or in Turkey. Are we consistent? To a Californian, whose state is "down the middle of the world" as John McGroarty once wrote, and who knows, as they do not know in the state department, that the future of the world looks to the Orient rather than to Europe, certainly the job we stepped out of would seem as vital to world peace as the one we are inviting ourselves into, wouldn't it?
