WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS It is a pleasure to have at least part of a day again, not already accounted for, and which can be used to "mow down" (as Charlie McCarthy would say) the accumulated jobs and correspondence. Another year the situation will be better. This year I was the low man on the totem pole; the subcommittee schedules were already made up, and both mine met at the same time. Next year the schedule will be better, and the chairmen, in addition, are talking of getting us back in December, before the session, to work on the appropriation bills. We've had lots of visitors lately, and we were glad to see them all. I mean that. Everyone who comes to Washington goes back, more or less a missionary to tell the folks at home the seriousness of the situation and the difficulties we face in trying to save representative government. It can't be told in a letter. I wish I could list the visitors individually. I do want to give an orchid (I'll make it an iris, if you don't mind; we still miss the two acres we had in Banning) to the five men from the Riverside Kiwanis Club and their "project." The clubs of the California-Nevada district have set themselves out this year to interest men and women in government, local and state and national. I can't imagine a better objective for any group or any club. We can talk all we want about "government" and say to each other "government ought to do this, or ought not to do that," but folks, we are government! There's an old Dutch saying california, and particularly after having worked for more than fourteen years with the agricultural problems of California, is that every once in a while some commodity group, or some friend in a farming area, thinks I'd like something to remind me of home. So he sends me a box or a bag or a carton or a can of whatever it is that grows there. They keep me going strong while better men give out all around me. What do you suppose has come to 1317 House Office Building this year from the Pacific Coast? Oranges, both varieties, grapefruit (California, Texas and Arizona), tangerines, figs, nectarines (canned, delicious!), jams from the new Santa Ana plant of Blu-Hill, and cheese from their Colorado plant, and cheese from Wisconsin too, dates of a half dozen varieties, and date products, potatoes (without kerosene on them!), apples from Washington, walnuts, almonds, asparagus, and the little new boxes of raisins, to sell for a penny. "Take your change in iron!" I suspect, even now, someone will write and remind me of something I've left out. I want my friends to know that I've appreciated everything, and the thoughtfulness most of all. For a man who spent the first twenty years of his life trying to get away from the East, and was perfectly satisfied with California, it's a bit tough to live in this insane asylum and think about the people and the climate at home. They took a census of the feeble minded the other day, in the Dis- the Riverside Kiwans Club and their "project." The clubs of the California-Nevada district have set themselves out this year to interest men and women in government, local and state and national. I can't imagine a better objective for any group or any club. We can talk all we want about "government" and say to each other "government ought to do this, or ought not to do that," but folks, we are government! There's an old Dutch saying that if everyone sweeps his own doorstep, the whole village will be clean. It was not intended, under the Republic, that government should go DOWN to the people, and that we should be told from Washington what to do. It was intended that government should start in the grassroots and go UP, until it got to Washington. All credit, and a special iris to the Riverside Kiwanians, who are taking an interest in local government, and who had previously sent a delegation to Sacramento, and to Tom Gore, Harvey Lynn, Mona Anderson, Gene Stark and Fred Hamlin, who came to Washington, to take the story of what they saw and heard back to California. I think it will take some telling. One of the nicest things about being a Congressman from Cali- ENJOY COASTLINE TRIP SUNDAY Mr. and Mrs. Francis Nipper of East Water street, and Mrs. Nora Harkins, and her daughter, Kay Wilson, of East Center street, enjoyed a tour of picturesque San Juan Capistrano mission, other scenic spots along the coast and a picnic lunch in Doheny state park Sunday.

Lampton, director of Motor Vehicles. Three deaths and 39 injuries among school children in the first four months of this year were cited by Lampton as the reason for drastic action by the state. Two deaths occurred in Los Angeles county and one in Merced county. Los Angeles also had nine injuries, the highest of any county. “In addition to more rigid control of school bus drivers we are also making every effort to see that all school buses conform to safety regulations,” Lampton said. “Before schools reconvene next fall every school bus in the state will be carefully checked by members of the Highway Patrol. Also, manufacturers have been warned that safety specifications must be met or buses will be ruled off the highways.” Lampton also revealed that plans also are under way for much more rigid original examinations for bus drivers.
