WASHINGTON AS SEEN By Congressman JOHN PHILLIPS If further evidence were needed of the political flavor in the call for this special session, it could be seen (I should say tasted, I suppose) in the reactions of the radio networks. If a candidate for office makes a political speech on the air, then the opposing candidates may demand equal time. It occurs to me, as I write this, that suppose if John Phillips, the Republican nominee for Representative in Congress from the 22nd District, were given time on some station, then John Phillips, the Democratic nominee for the same office, could demand equal time. Well let's get along with the serious part of this weekly letter! The President, as a matter of courtesy, is given time, on a national hook-up whenever he indicates his desire to speak. No balancing time is thought necessary. The President notified the networks that he intended to deliver his message in person. The network at once, without seeing the message, made equal time available to the Republican Party. Placentia Youth First Place in Snowbird Race The thirteenth annual 'Flight of the Snowbirds,' small sailing craft piloted by young skippers, got underway Sunday afternoon, starting at the Balboa Pavillon. Winner of the event in which 157 of the boats participated was Gil Kraemer, 17, of Placentia. As winner Kraemer will receive the special City of Newport Beach award and will hold the Albert Soiland perpetual trophy for one year. The race started at 1:40 p.m. following west from Balboa Pavillion to a flag off Harbor Island, south around the east end of Lido Isle, west to a flag off the Lido Isle Yacht club, and east past Balboa to the harbor entrance, then back to the starting line at the pavilion. Second place in this year's race went to Bob Halderman, 14, of South Pasadena, and third place, to Seymour Beek, 14, of Balboa Island.

Watson of the Truett Memorial Baptist church will give the invocation after the opening program by the The President, as a matter of courtesy, is given time, on a national hook-up whenever he indicates his desire to speak. No balancing time is thought necessary. The President notified the networks that he intended to deliver his message in person. The network at once, without seeing the message, made equal time available to the Republican Party. Senator Taft and Representative Halleck spoke over one network. To the networks, the President's message was a campaign document, just as the special session was a political gesture. This is the first time in the history of this nation that any president, solely for political reasons, has called the Congress back under such circumstances, and has openly made the call a part of his acceptance speech for public office. The Constitution gives the President that right, when an "extraordinary occasion" arises. It is possible an extraordinary occasion is developing in Europe, but neither call nor message mentioned that. The message was received quietly by the Congress. What applause you heard over the air, if you were listening, was from a few northern Democrats, and the visitors in the gallery reserved for the executive branch.

Some of the President's appointees must have had sore hands Tuesday evening. The best comment on this session was made weeks ago, before the adjournment of the regular session, by Senator Barkley, now the President's running mate in the campaign. The Senator said, "I have done what I could to cooperate in bringing about an adjournment. I think, if we sit here between the conventions, or after the two conventions, the time of the Congress will be taken up with political legislation and political oratory, and I do not want that brought about. I want to finish and to adjourn the Congress, and I have tried to cooperate with the leaders on the other side to bring about an adjournment." I shall write, in another letter, about the proposals. The President is making a great gamble, knowingly.

I want to finish and to adjourn the Congress, and I have tried to cooperate with the leaders on the other side to bring about an adjournment." I shall write, in another letter, about the proposals. The President is making a great gamble, knowingly. He is playing with a two-edged sword, and a very sharp one. The two items of popular interest, in the message, are the problems of living costs, and housing. If the President insists, as he has, that all farmers should vote for him because they are more prosperous than ever before, and that all workers should vote for him because wages have increased from 29 billions in 1933 to 128 billions in 1947, and that other groups, for similar reasons, should also vote for him, then the taxpayers and food buyers and home-seekers and voters will shortly connect these increases with the resultant rising prices of the things they buy, just as they will shortly connect the conflict of government agencies buying at cross purposes and bidding for foreign aid commodities, with the same rising costs. When it becomes more generally known that we will build this year, without government aid, twice as many living units as we built last year, and four times as many as we built the year before that, then shortly the home-seekers and voters will realize it is a problem of time, of material, of hours of labor, of opposition to prefabricated homes, of financing, of present government interference, rather than of a lack of government interference, and will demand action, not more legislation. I have never thought the American people were simple minded. After hearing the President's message I have come to the conclusion he hopes they are. NABRA NEWS and Mrs. Andy F. Jolley, in Hiatt street, have as guests Mrs. Grady her daughter, Cheryl, Grady Lee, of Denison, and Mrs. Yale McWane for two boys are visiting here. The McWanes, residents of La Habra, turn soon to their home in Mo. Members of the company re-enacting the Portola trek of 1769 were escorted into the city by the La Habra Valley Riding club, officials of the Chamber of Commerce and the city council, Thursday, July 29. Arthur McBride, local newspaperman and secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, served as master of ceremonies for a program sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce in the evening in the new city park. This was the first public gathering to be held in the park. About 900 persons took part in the community singing around a huge bonfire. The mayor, city council, heads of civic organizations, and old-time residents of the city took part in the celebration. The Chamber of Commerce donated eight gallons of orange juice "as a cure for the scurvy which the original company contracted in 1769." Members of the company expressed themselves as being well pleased with the facilities provided for them in the Legion hall and the city park. Friday morning the company was blessed by Father John Stapleton, administrator of Lady of Guadalupe church, fore proceeding to Whittier. PLANS TO SPEND YEAR IN ANAHEIM Mrs. O. E.
