Courts Intervene Further, the courts of this state have lately taken to this same practice and only last session was witnessed the appearance before committees of the legislature of the chief justice of the Supreme Court of California, appearing as gram by the courts, the state and everyone else interested. But the precedent for influence with legislative process by the judicial as well as the utilive branches of the government has been made. Less altruistic have been lobbying activities of various Waters Reports Courts Enter Lobbyist Scene Sacramento, (WNS)—The expanded lobbying activities of publicly employed persons constitutes a far more dangerous threat to good government than do those activities of private lobbyists which have been so sensationally "exposed" in recent writings. The founders of this nation drafted a constitution guaranteeing the people a government composed of three separate branches. Namely, the legislative, the judicial and the executive or administrative. By permitting representatives of the administrative branches of state and local governments to dominate, or at least heavily influence, the legislature, the division between these two branches becomes largely one of theory only. Courts Intervene Further, the courts of this state have lately taken to this same practice and only last session was witnessed the appearance before committees of the legislature of the chief justice of the Supreme Court of California, appearing as a lobbyist! and advocating the passage of law according to his beliefs. With this situation the division between the three branches is, in effect, wiped out and the people have lost the form of government set forth in the basic law of the land. True, in this particular instance, the chief justice, Phil S. Gibson, is by all standards a jurist of the highest type. Also true is the fact he appeared before the legislature with the most altruistic of motives in behalf of the court reorganization plan. It is further a fact that the legislation he advocated was the result of thorough study by leading scholars of law and law procedure, and was agreed upon as a sound and much needed pro-gram by the courts, the state and everyone else interested. But the precedent for influence with legislative process by the judicial as well as the utilative branches of the government has been made. Less altruistic have been lobbying activities of various perior and appellate courts who have, from time to time, seen stalking the legislative ridors hat-in-hand seeking sage of measures to increase salaries and various other benefits which the people, through representatives, have given granted to those who spendous but few hours on the job of justice. Needless to say, these laws are most always successful because due largely to the fact members of the legislature practicing lawyers who must cases before these same justices.

Susan's 166 W. Center Anaheim, Calif. Dr. C. Glenn Curtis Plans Return to Quito, Ecuador Planning to return to Quito, Ecuador, on Thursday or Friday of this week by plane, Dr. C. Glenn Curtis, well-known resident of Orange county and Brea, which is his home, will continue his fight against the tropical diseases prevalent in that country. Dr. Curtis was in Quito during the earthquake of several months past, and had returned to Washington, D.C., with 13 other United States directors for the Institute of Inter-American Affairs of the Health and Sanitation division, of which he is chief director, to attend a conference formulating plans for the next five years. During his year and a half stay in Ecuador, malaria has been decreased from 50 percent to five percent among the people. He and his staff are vitally interested in improving sanitary conditions and preventing further epidemics of typhoid fever, typhus, malaria and yaw disease. Working in cooperation with Franklin Talo, minister of social welfare of the Ecuador cabinet, Dr. Curtis remained with headquarters in Quito until September 8, when he returned to the United States, and arrived in Brea last Friday night. Dr. Curtis and his staff were largely responsible for preventing a typhoid epidemic during and after the earthquake, which struck Pelileo hardest, by the use of DDT spray, serum injections, burial of the dead and care of drinking water. The institute project, formed during the war, was requested by the Ecuadorian government to be continued. During its existence Los Angeles County Fair will hold Carruthers of New York artists of stage, screen, circus. Its three episodes include Team by the courts, the state bar, and everyone else interested. But the precedent for interference with legislative procedures by the judicial as well as the executive branches of the government has been made. Less altruistic have been the lobbying activities of various surrogate and appellate court judges who have, from time to time, been stalking the legislative cords hat-in-hand seeking passage of measures to increase their salaries and various other benefits which the people, through their representatives, have generously wanted to those who spend arduous but few hours on the bench justice. Needless to say, these lobbyists are most always successful probably due largely to the fact many members of the legislature are practicing lawyers who must try cases before these same judges. DA's Lobby An analysis of legislation passed would show that of all the lobbying done by public employed persons the worst results from those measures diligently urged upon the legislature by the District Attorneys' Association. This group has advocated passage of much legislation which Senator Ralph Swing of San Bernardino so aptly termed as "good for the district attorney but not good for the defendant." "You fellows," he told Arthur Jerry who lobbies for the Alameda district attorney's office, are only interested in making the law fit your purposes—that is making convictions easier. I want to make it more difficult because have to defend people." He went on to accuse the district attorneys of attempting to breakdown the safeguards of the law which protect the rights and property of a person in order to build up records of large numbers of convictions to enhance their chances of re-election. As it is the district attorneys are responsible for such laws as we now on the books like that which makes it a felony for husband to inflict upon a wife an injury which causes a traumatic condition. As Senator Earl Desmond pointed out in opposing the bill, a husband can accidentally bump his wife causing a bruise and thereby run the risk of becoming felon if his wife happens to September 8, when he returned to the United States, and arrived in Brea last Friday night. Dr. Curtis and his staff were largely responsible for preventing a typhoid epidemic during and after the earthquake, which struck Pelileo hardest, by the use of DDT spray, serum injections, burial of the dead and care of drinking water. The institute project, formed during the war, was requested by the Ecuadorian government to be continued. During its existence, four hospitals have been built but more equipment and a staff is badly needed. Upon his return to Quito, Dr. Curtis will launch a survey in Ecuador for spot checks on water, disease, etc. Curtis will, with his technicians, live with natives in a jungle village. There he will take photographs, check sick cases and try out various new drugs on the respective diseases. Dr. Curtis was a practicing physician in Brea for 20 years before starting his new work. He would like to finish the project he is now on and then return to Brea to resume his practice. J. R. Eddingfield, Local Business Man, Passes Wednesday John R.

Mailing of a duplicate application only disrupts the production lines and results in delay.” VA said that in most instances the missing data can be obtained from other records maintained by the agency. In cases where essential information is not available, or the form otherwise is not acceptable, the individuals concerned will be notified by VA and requested to submit a new application form. More than seven million applications were received in Washington in the first week after forms became available on August 29, and were still rolling in at the rate of a million a day, VA reported. Some sixteen million present and former holders of NSLI are expected to apply for their share of the $2.8 billion dividend. Anaheim Gazette since 1870.

Many union leaders as a model event of labor disputes. efficiently or economically if the leaders of the unions ignore agreements or laws. Provisions of the Law which are Disregarded There are five ways under the Railway Labor Act to settle disputes over the meaning of contracts: 1—Decision by National Railroad Adjustment Board. 2—Decision by System Adjustment Board for the specific railroad. 3—Decision by arbitration. 4—Decision by neutral referee. President Truman's Board Condemns Strike There is an established legal method for handling disputes involving existing written contracts—just as there is such a method of settling any contract dispute which you may have in your daily life. The President of the United States appointed a Fact Finding Board to investigate and adjust the Missouri Pacific dispute. This Board reported, in part, as follows: "...it is with a deep sense of regret that we are obliged to report the failure of our mission. It seems inconceivable to us that a coercive strike should occur on one of the nation's major transportation systems, with all of the losses and hardships that would follow, in view of the fact that the Railway Labor Act provides an orderly, efficient and complete remedy for the fair and just settlement of the matters in dispute. Grievances of the character here under discussion are so numerous and of such frequent occurrence on all railroads that the general adoption of the policy pursued by the organizations in this case would soon result in the complete nullification of the Railway Labor Act..."" Obviously, the railroads cannot be run Provisions of the Law which are Disregarded There are five ways under the Railway Labor Act to settle disputes over the meaning of contracts: 1—Decision by National Railroad Adjustment Board. 2—Decision by System Adjustment Board for the specific railroad. 3—Decision by arbitration. 4—Decision by neutral referee. 5—Decision by courts. The Missouri Pacific Railroad has been and is entirely willing to have these disputes settled in accordance with the requirements of the Railway Labor Act. Regardless of this fact, the union leaders have shut down that railroad. Innocent Hystanders Suffer Losses and Hardships There are about 5,000 engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen on the Missouri Pacific. They are known as "operating" employees, and are the most highly paid of all employees on the nation's railroads, but their strike action has resulted in the loss of work to 22,500 other employees of the Missouri Pacific. In addition, they have imposed great inconvenience and hardship upon the public and the communities served by that railroad. The Railway Labor Act was designed to protect the public against just such interruptions of commerce. If these men will not comply with the provisions of the law for the settlement of such disputes, then all thinking Americans must face the question, "What is the next step?"
