No Brush-Off, Please! It is disheartening to realize that, even before the monumental work of the Hoover Commission on government reorganization is completed, there is growing pressure to pigeon-hole and forget far too many of its recommendations. The purpose of the Commission, of course, was to blueprint the modernization of government functions in the interest of efficiency and economy. No one can deny the urgency of the need for such a project. But nearly all of the Commission's recommendations have been met with a mohottonous storm of protest by injured bureaucrats and members of Congress whose own pet projects might be threatened. The Hoover Commission report on the Post Office Department pointed the way to important savings. Its recommendation against Government power operations called public attention to the Reclamation Bureau's wasteful policy of building duplicating transmis- that Americans should not forget for one minute, regardless of such seemingly humorous incongruities. To do less is to invite disaster. There is no such thing as an American Communist. Whether they all realize it or not, native American Party members are agents sworn to fanatical obedience to a foreign power, a power diametrically opposed to all that we stand for. They will stop at nothing to serve those ends dictated by the despots in the Kremlin. To them, anything American is bad; anything Russian is good. It's as simple as that. Welfare Laws There is a sharp division of views in the national capital with regard to "welfare laws." The measure was discussed before the United States Conference of City Mayors in Washington last week. Critics of misnamed "welfare laws" told the mayors of the country that the "welfare state has found a short-cut to Utopia." The fly in the gutter is that this A Grand Old Wisconsin Editor Gordon O. Culver announces his 91st year as a publisher of a first-class newspaper. In the current issue of the Argus at Wautoma, Wisconsin, he said: "I start my 91st year of publishing this week and Good Heaven, how proud I am of the fact." The first issue of this paper was on Washington hand press and it is still preserved in the printing office where is was used at Pine River. Editor Culver writes that in his first edition of June 19, 1859, the motto at the masthead was: "Free Speech—Equal Rights—State Sovereignty—Wise and Just Measures of Public Policy and Men Who Will Carry Them Out." This Grand Old Warrior stands at the top in "Art Preservative" and he closes his editorial in a declaration made after observing that "now I think I'll get my blood pressure and reflexes checked and make ready for another 91 years." Hurrah for grand old Gordon O. Culver, editorial champion in the field of Family Newspapers. Who Said That? Appearing side-by-side in a recent edition of the Communist "Daily Worker" are a couple of items which, to say the least, reveal some interesting expediences Welfare Laws There is a sharp division of views in the national capital with regard to "welfare laws." The measure was discussed before the United States Conference of City Mayors in Washington last week. Critics of misnamed "welfare laws" told the mayors of the country that the "welfare state has found a short-cut to Utopia." The fly in the ointment is that this supervision of petting and nursing the whole people by legislative schemes merely treats its citizens as wards, incapable of managing their own affairs. President Truman's so-called national health insurance with $5-billion dollars was denounced as "arbitrary, tyrannical and bureurcatical." The general attack against "welfare stuff" is that in fact it is Socialism. Evidently this wholesale rush for welfare legislation would be welcomed by a lot of people who do not need or deserve help in the mad race to grab off chunks of Government money to which they have no claim. Oh Lord, deliver us from that kind of a Government poor house. Don't Get Excited About Congress President Truman blasted the 80th Congress as one of the "worst" in history. Now, the 81st Congress is stubborn about endorsing the recommendations and demands of the President. As a matter of fact Congress seems to "want to" defend its rights as a distinct and independent branch of the Federal Government. Congress seems likely to refuse to levy an increase of $4,-000,000,000 in taxes. Holy Moses, haven't we been unreasonably taxed long enough? There is a yard of subjects and problems before Congress, and the indications are that the Senate and the House are doing fairly well because that branch of our Government is in a fighting mood. If the Senate and House of Representatives doesn't get down to horse sense on labor legislation there will be a continuation of strikes in our nation. The Democrats expect to make an all-out fight to scuttle the Taft-Hartley Act, and the Senate Labor Committee has already taken a long step—backward—in approving the bum idea of digging up the old Wagner Act. The outstanding performance of the Wagner Act was pulled off by President F. D. Roosevelt. He named his own stooges arbitrarily bad; anything Russian is good. It's as simple as that. George Yorba, an Indian, ed by the father of J. F. Barham night before last while under influence of liquor visited home of R. M. Barham and saulted the family with knife-gun. Fortunately he was arraigned before any harm had been done. He was brought before Judge Bailey yesterday and fined $7 costs which Mr. Barham George made many promises amendment.

April 13, 1899 J. P. Zeyn leaves on the instant for his old home in Buryg, Germany, after an abdication of fifty years. Mr. Zeyn left Buryg March 24th, 1849, and rived in San Francisco after age around the Horn in the Magdeleina, on October 3rd, voyage consuming six months ten days. He is one of the remaining original shareholders the Anaheim Vineyard society came to Anaheim first in 1859 returned to San Francisco shortly after, and came again with family in the following year. He has since resided and raised a family of five children. Two daughters and a son survive his wife and two sons he passed on. Mr. Zeyn will be sent three or four months. Yet in the prime of life, he planned a trip which he had years contemplated. The best ties of his many friends go him for a pleasant journey at safe return. Who Said That? Appearing side-by-side in a recent edition of the Communist "Daily Worker" are a couple of items which, to say the least, reveal some interesting expediences of the Kremlin line. In glowing words of praise for the progress of farm mechanization in Soviet Russia, the "farm" columnist of the "Worker" writes: "The combine was heralded by the first socialist nation as one of the means of liberating peasants from their age-old drudgery. Today a higher percentage of their grain is combined than our own(?). Under socialism, mechanization of agriculture means liberation from toil, it means leisure and rising culture." Adjoining this gem of information is a two-column photograph of a newly-developed mechanical cotton-picker now being used in our southern states. The caption underneath reads: "What happens to the pickers when this giant machine, a mechanical cotton-picker, replaces the traditional farm laborer on many of Alabama's large cotton tracts? Unemployment and hunger, of course! It's the law of capitalist agriculture." In other words, what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander. However amusing this apparent inconsistency may look to us, it is not an inconsistency to the Communist. It has been firmly imbedded in his subservient mind that whatever is done in Russia is 100 per cent right. Likewise, whatever is done elsewhere is all wrong. It is this double-standard of values Approve Punch Card Voting Punch card voting has been approved by the California assembly. The measure provides that ballots may be prepared in card form and voters signify their choice by punching a hole next to the selection. Final tabulation of the vote will take place in central voting district offices where special sorting and tabulating machines will be installed. The measure was sponsored by Los Angeles Assemblyman Laughlin Waters at the request of State Secretary Frank Jordan. It has been estimated such a system would save $500,000 for each state-wide election, cut the number of voting precincts in half, and halve the number of voting officials required to check ballots. Adoption of the system would be left to local election boards. IN THE DAYS OF ONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago April 11, 1874 Pressrs.

Sewage at Anaheim was diverted at 6 a.m. from the farm in use there for the past twelve years. That from Santa Ana was diverted from the outfall line of the Southern California Sugar Company at 12 m. Sewerage of the two lines was expected to reach the joint treatment plant at 3 p.m., when Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton executives and representatives of the firm supplying equipment for the treatment plant were present. Placing of about 260 feet of cast iron pipe in the ocean is all that remains to complete the outfall. Fullerton is building a line to join the system and expects in about fifteen days to send sewage from that city into the ocean instead of to a sewer farm that has been in use for many years. It will be several months before Orange is ready to make connection with the outfall. According to W. G. Knox, city engineer of Santa Ana, that city has spent $130,000 in the construction of two main outfalls. According to O. E. Steward, engineer and city manager of Anaheim, it is estimated that $175,000 will be spent for this city's share of the expense of the joint sewer operations.

He further alleged that Anaheim passed a resolution setting the time for protest hearings as October 5 and 12, 1948, and that since, "the time limit within which the city council of Anaheim could act under their resolution has expired the city council has no jurisdiction to proceed." However court records in the case showed that the date of Judge West's temporary order prohibiting the city of Anaheim from proceeding was October 4, 1948, one day prior to the original date set for the public hearing.

"Therefore, a merchant or other person who accepts the social security account number as identification for the purpose of cashing a check in on very shaky ground. "Furthermore, the records of the Social Security Administration are confidential and ordinarily are not available for verification to persons other than the wage earner himself. These records are maintained solely for the purpose of keeping a record of the wages earned by individuals covered by the system."

Your voice highway—a pair of tiny wires—is labeled with your telephone number at this central office distributing frame. From here, the wires lead out of the office, through cables, to your telephone. They also go the other way—onto a special section of complex equipment that has the specific job of handling your calls. quickly as you can walk next door 2. Picking your number is a job for trained people. From their charts they find an available pair of wires in a cable to your neighborhood. The volume of calls carried by the central office equipment serving your number is often checked to see if it has the capacity to handle added calls. This is part of our job of making telephone service reliable and efficient. 3. Someone calls your number...and, in a matter of moments, you pick up your receiver to answer. Perhaps the call is from just across the street. Perhaps it comes half-way around the earth. But your number guided it to your telephone...and no other. Seems almost like magic when you think of it...another of the little things that add up to good telephone service for you. 4. A lot of new numbers have been added in the past few years. For today there are twice as many telephones in use on the Coast as ten years ago. All these new telephones make yours more valuable. You can reach more people...more can reach you. Yet rates remain low. A few pennies still buy a call—a real value in these days of high prices.
