WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS It has never been matter of pride to me, as an American, that the No. 1 racketeer of his generation, Al Capone, should have died quietly in the luxurious Florida residence bought and maintained from the ill-gotten gains of his trade. Murder was as much a tool of his business as robbery, yet when arrested and convicted by a government we like to think of as strong and competent in its own tools of protection, it was not for one of those crimes, but for evasions of his income tax. The technicalities of law, and the obsessions of "liberty" under our form of government, are such that apparently we are required to resort to expediencies. In my first session here, the Congress was troubled by increasing appointments of men whose subversive backgrounds indicated a greater interest in other forms of government than the Republic. We felt, as California felt a few years back regarding some of its own citizens, that these men were entitled to their own beliefs, but that they should not be supported generously by the government they were trying to overthrow. So the committee wrote into a beneficiary appropriation bill of that year that no money should be paid from it in salaries to Robert Morrss Lovett, William E. Dodd, Jr., nor Goodwin B. Watson, unless and until the President had, in the regular way provided by law, submitted their names to the Senate, and they had been confirmed for the offices they held. The Supreme Court eventually said congress had no right to do what it did; that this constituted a bill of attainder, prohibited in the Constitution. I have no desire men, and hundreds like them, big and little, should have found comfortable places in the government, to the extent that the Congress was searching for a way to do by indirection what the executive branch should have to do directly. Yesterday we voted on an appropriation bill, for the Department of Labor and the Federal Security Agency. The committee met a similar problem. Under John Steelman, the Conciliation Service was built into an agency of recognized worth. He could come to the Hill and get money and support, practically without question. His successor was Edgar L. Warren. Under Mr. Warren the policy has completely changed. Mr. Warren was asked by the committee if he was the same Edgar L. Warren who was a member of the American League for Peace and Democracy. He said he was, but had not known at the time the nature of that organization. As every reader knows, that is one of the best communist fronts in this country, and so designated by every investigation from Attorney - General Biddle's, to the Un-American Activities Committee. My own files, of the earlier California investigations, show that when it was the American League against war and Fascism (the change of names was only an attempt to draw in more suckers) it was being used by the Communist party of California for jobs which the party could not do itself, and admittedly so. Mr. Warren admitted he was a members of the Washington Bookshop, also known to everyone from Attorney - General Biddle. Bees Busy On Early Bloom in Orange Grove The way a bee keeper mines if he is keeping his if his bees are keeping him put a hive on a set o If the hive shows a loss in the bees are eating their honey or are living on w keeper feeds them. If it consistent gain it means have gone to work for keeper. Under this test, accord Boyd Smoot of Yorba Lake of northern Orange county ing bee keepers, the bee have gone to work for th ers. This is principally the fact that there is an generous flow of nectar range blossoms. In south ange county, for reasons understood, the flow has layed. Last year Orange countists reaped a harvest with mercial value of $281, according to the annual crop of D. W. Tubbs, Orange agricultural commissioner sugar still under federal apiarists hope this year to better than that. The Orange county orange flow will last about a But before its end a large colonies of Orange county will be moved to intermed rus valleys, apiarists have covered they can thus gain or two more of the nectar from orange trees. At th the orange blossom season the apiarists will move t ones to mountain, desert for valley regions for th der of the season. Last year Orang countists' bees produced 1 pounds of honey, worth a The Supreme Court eventually said congress had no right to do what it did; that this constituted a bill of attainder, prohibited in the Constitution. I have no desire to argue the legal point, even if I could. A very able attorney for the Congress, argued that this was the right given Congress under the power to appropriate; the held that it was an attempted exercise of the power of removal. The startling fact was that these activities Committee. My own files, of the earlier California investigations, show that when it was the American League against war and Fascism (the change of names was only an attempt to draw in more suckers) it was being used by the Communist party of California for jobs which the party could not do itself, and admittedly so. Mr. Warren admitted he was a members of the Washington Bookshop, also known to everyone from Attorney - General Biddle up or down, as the headquarters of communism in Washington. He did not say, as the committee later discovered, that he was one of its directors. He also admitted making speeches, as recently as 1944, saying that he "saw no reason why government employees should not be entitled to the right to strike." In September, 1945, Mr. Warren became conciliation commissioner. A great light descended upon him. He no longer holds these beliefs. The salary of the commissioner is $10,000 a year. The committee is a little suspicious of these reformations which come along with high salary jobs. Since there is obviously no thought on the part of the secretary of labor to remove Mr. Warren, and since the Supreme Court did not like the more direct efforts of 1943, the committee, in yesterday's bill simply removed the job! The report, on page 10, eliminated 25 positions in Washington, INCLUDING THE POSITION OF DIRECTOR, and 76 field positions. It may please me as little as did the Capone case, this method of indirecction, but the Congress is determined somehow, with rising national support and approval, to keep the red flag from flying, even figuratively, over the government buildings in Washington.

MAKE FARMERS PRODUCE 1ST & HARBOR YOUR BERRY HEADQUARTERS... CALL 6515-J FOR BERRY INFORMATION Freddie Pimental's FARMERS PRODUCE FIRST & HARBOR OPEN SUNDAY Bees Busy On Early Bloom in Orange Groves The way a bee keeper determines if he is keeping his bees or if his bees are keeping him is to out a hive on a set of scales. If the hive shows a loss in weight, the bees are eating their stores of honey or are living on what the keeper feeds them. If it shows a consistent gain it means the bees have gone to work for their keeper. Under this test, according to Boyd Smoot of Yorba Linda one of northern Orange county's leading bee keepers, the bees now have gone to work for their keepers. This is principally due to the fact that there is an early and generous flow of nectar from orange blossoms. In southern Orange county, for reasons not fully understood, the flow has been delayed. Last year Orange county apiarsists reaped a harvest with commercial value of $281,255, according to the annual crop report of D. W. Tubbs, Orange county agricultural commissioner. With sugar still under federal control, apiarsists hope this year to do even better than that. The Orange county orange nectar flow will last about a month. But before its end a large part of the colonies of Orange county bees will be moved to intermediate citrus valleys, apiarsists having discovered they can thus gain a week or two more of the nectar flow from orange trees. At the end of the orange blossom season there the apiarsists will move their colonies to mountain, desert or inter-valley regions for the remainder of the season. Last year Orang county apiarsists' bees produced 1,287,328 pounds of honey, worth at market 4-H Clubbers Tour Rabbit Experiment Farm One hundred 4-H Club members and leaders visited the U.S. Rabbit Experiment Station at Fontana on Tuesday it was reported by H.W. Longfellow, assistant farm advisor in charge of Orange County 4-H Clubs. Demonstrations were held for the young farmers on different phases of management in the rabbit industry. Disease control, breeding, feeding and care were some of the subjects discussed. The tour was supervised by the Agricultural Extension Service and the 4-H County Club Council. Aerial Camera Sees 'Smog' Over Anaheim A representative of the Clarus Aerial Photography company of Long Beach who made two shots of Anaheim from the air during the clear days of last week said that since the first of the year there have been just 15 days in this area of the state on which weather has been clear enough for their kind of photography. The plane carrying the camera which photographed Anaheim made eight passes before the photographic engineer was satisfied he could get a clear shot. It made 21 passes over Belflower. The air in that vicinity seems that much thicker. A considerable number of orange growers suspect that industrial fumes and "amog" may be responsible for the failure of their fruit to reach the sizes they did a few years ago.
