AFFAIRS OF STATE
by
EARL G. WATERS
SACRAMENTO (WNS)—One of the outstanding men in the Warren administration is Clifford Peterson, commissioner of the California highway patrol.
A former San Diego police chief Peterson was selected by Warren to head the highway patrol when it was reorganized into a department of its own in 1947.
On the job less than two years, Peterson has demonstrated his ability.
Highway travel today is safer despite greatly increased automobile registration and automobile miles traveled.
But Peterson has been under considerable heat from various groups from time to time.
There has been criticisms of his policy of painting the patrol cars white so they can be easily detected.
Peterson has defended this position on the grounds the patrol is to prevent accidents and not make arrests by sneaking up on unwary motorists.
He has also been criticised among the ranks of the patrolmen.
Most of this, however, comes from the older patrolmen who want to go back to the old days of hiding in a shady spot and occasionally swooping out to make an arrest.
Today the cars are patrolling the highways where everyone can see them. Peterson declares this is what prevents accidents and not the occasional hap-hazard system of arrests once followed.
His record stands on the fact that the accident and death rate on California highways has been reduced.
This is all part of the trend in this state which is defeating the intent of the constitution which named Sacramento as the state's capital.
In many instances, not even a pretense of complying with the code provisions has been made. A legislative investigation is being undertaken by those who feel the capital of California should be one place or another, but not spread willy-nilly throughout the state.

Editor
Dear Sir:
In order to correct a misunderstanding over the availability of Anaheim doctors for emergency call here Wednesday night, January 20, 1950, I would appreciate your publishing the following account of the true circumstances as I have learned them following interviews with the staff.
When the accident victim was brought to our hospital late Wednesday night the nurse on duty began telephoning for a doctor. She talked with two of them both of whom had had emergency work the previous night. Each of them asked if she would get someone else but each of them also instructed her to call him back if she were unsuccessful and he would take the case.
She made a few other calls without getting an answer then assuming full responsibility herself she decided she wouldn't disturb either of the doctors she had talked to previously.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Mayathan,
and Mrs. E. J. Schaeffler and
Harry Huff were in Long

Today the cars are patrolling the highways where everyone can see them. Peterson declares this is what prevents accidents and not the occasional hap-hazard system of arrests once followed.
His record stands on the fact that the accident and death rate on California highways has been reduced.
Article 20, Section 1, of the California constitution declares Sacramento to be the seat of government.
Section 1060 of the government code reads, "the following officers shall reside and keep their offices in Sacramento."
The officers named include the attorney general, justices of the supreme court and the clerks and reporters of the same court.
Section 11151 of the same code reads, "each department shall maintain an office and the director of each department who is a member of the governor's council shall reside at Sacramento."
Section 12040-of that code enumerates the members of the governor's council and includes the directors of the departments of industrial relations and public health, and the building and loan and banking commissioners.
Chief Justice Phil S. Gibson, all of the justices of the supreme court, the clerks and reporters of that court, the attorney general, the director of public health, the director of industrial relations, the building and loan and the banking commissioners, all reside outside of Sacramento and claim, for expense purposes, other cities as their headquarters.
Instead she telephoned the Crane Ambulance Company and told them she couldn't get an Anaheim doctor. The Ambulance Co. thereupon called a Fullerton doctor, a member of the Hospital Staff, and he responded to the call. The Ambulance Company made its report to the Police Dept. and in good faith volunteered the information that an Anaheim doctor was not available.
This procedure is not unusual, Fullerton doctors of our Staff take our Emergency calls and Anaheim doctors take Fullerton General Hospital Emergency calls.
I regret that this misunderstanding has arisen and I assure you that at no time has any Anaheim doctor ever refused to answer an emergency call by this Hospital if it were humanly possible for him to accept.
Very truly yours,
George Krieg,
Manager and President
Anaheim Community Hospital.
Of course you slow down when the streets are covered with snow, rain and ice. But do you slow down enough, asks the California Highway Patrol?

en product is the biggest thing that has hit the California Valencia industry in its entire history and that we in California are not keeping up with Florida in the exploitation of this bonanza. In years gone by we have been ahead of Florida in our merchandising techniques. But our oars are not cutting the water as they should be. The entire philosophy in getting the Valencia crop into the hands of the consumer is in for some real changes or the grower will suffer more than he has and in the place he is most tender: his pocketbook. You know the old saying: "there is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood—." We believe that tide is running now and if it is missed then woe betide him who is to blame. We have seen a great start here in Anaheim made by the Real Gold Citrus Products and a big expansion in that plant is going on now. There is also a new plant now starting in Fullerton by the Eadington Fruit Company. We will soon be hearing about more capacity going in and we will soon be hearing more about what the fruit solids in a ton of Valencias are worth. We don't want to hear the words "too little and too late" repeated.

A THOUGHT
Whoever plants a garden Hath, oh, so many friends,
The glory of the morning,
The dew when daylight ends.
The wind and rain and sunshine,
The dew and fertile sod,
Whoever plants a garden,
Works hand in hand with God.

Rudolph Senn Death Monday
Rudolph Senn of 915 North Clementine street, of this city, passed away at Fullerton General hospital on Monday, January 23. Born in Switzerland 61 years ago, he came to the United States in 1909 and had lived in Anaheim for the past five years.
Surviving are his wife, Bertha; a daughter, Miss Marie L. Senn of Los Angeles, and a sister, Mrs. Hulda Honegger of Switzerland.
The Rev. Howard S. Congdon conducted funeral services this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock at Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel. Interment was in Melrose Abbey.
What is known as the "Big Room" in Carlsbad caverns is over one and one-fourth miles long.
Sgt. 1st Class Vernon Saulsbury knows a good thing when he sees it. What he saw at war's end was the chance for a good job and unequalled security in the U.S. Army. That's why at age 49 Vernon can retire as a Master Sgt. with a monthly income of $220.50 for life. For that size annuity, a civilian would have to invest $88,200!
"I learned my trade in the Army," says Vernon, "and today I could step into a good paying civilian job. But I've thought it all over—pay, promotion, security—and the Army wins hands down. I'm staying in."
