Public opinion and public reaction are subjects which advertising and public relations people study most carefully. Yet they are never certain that their analysis of any given trend will turn out as they foresee it. Take the so-called "war scare buying" of food, clothing, tires, etc. The mere mention of "scare buying"—even when it is carefully stated that there is no such thing—can start people flocking to retail stores to begin hoarding. The Gazette finds little cause for concern locally—provided the normal supply of goods continues to flow into the city. "Scare buying" hysteria always takes place first in big cities; it sweeps in like the smog. Often there is no explanation for it, unless it can be blamed to big black headlines and insufficient information. People get the idea rationing is coming and they want to be sure they get theirs. No matter yet, widespread hoarding and soaring prices in this present situation will in time certainly do two things: 1. Force the government to step in and slap on rationing and price controls. 2. And, by bringing higher prices, make the dollar worth just that much less, thus damaging the foundations of the free enterprise economy. (The rationing, of course, would be imposed to give everyone a fair share of what can be bought; the price controls would be slapped on to keep the economy from being ruined altogether.) If we get into a war with Russia or the present situation gets very bad, the government will have to step in with controls anyway because then there will be scarcities due to war production. But at this moment it isn't clear that we'll go to war with Russia or that the government, unless things get worse will have The Gazette finds little cause for concern locally—provided the normal supply of goods continues to flow into the city. "Scare buying" hysteria always takes place first in big cities; it sweeps in like the smog. Often there is no explanation for it, unless it can be blamed to big black headlines and insufficient information. People get the idea rationing is coming and they want to be sure they get theirs. No matter what happens to the city or anybody else. Soon the supplies to smaller communities begin to dwindle. And, almost in self defense, buying begins everywhere. Making goods scarcer results in jacked up prices. The hoarders, officials say, are foolish. And, President Truman said some people are kicking up prices to profiteer. Both words—foolish and profiteer—are mild ones. And it's easy to see why. Russian communism means government control and ownership of almost everything. British socialism means some government control and ownership. British socialism's controls are much milder than communism's. But this country, meaning the people, has denounced communism and feels so strongly against it that now we are actively fighting it. And there is strong feeling here against even Britain's socialism. In short, the tradition in this country has been against government control, interference or ownership. And we shout to the world the wonders of free enterprise. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A part of the Heimann and Sorenson vineyard has been set apart by the owners for the construction of a large swimming bath, 40x100 feet in size. The grounds surrounding the bath will this year be planted with trees and laid out into walks and shady arbors. The bath will be constructed early in the new year. On next Friday evening, July 30, the Orange Grange will give a lang syne" and holding out the glad hand. They say at the Park that the judge has good material in him for the assembly. Quien sabe? 25 Years Ago Signally honored by appointment as one of three American college students as associate delegates to the Institute of the Pacific at Honolulu, James L. Gardiner, of West Orangethorpe, avenue, has fair share of what can be bought; the price controls would be slapped on to keep the economy from being ruined altogether. If we get into a war with Russia or the present situation gets very bad, the government will have to step in with controls anyway because then there will be scarcities due to war production. But at this moment it isn't clear that we'll go to war with Russia or that the government, unless things get worse will have to step in with controls. Even if things don't get worse abroad, at home here the hoarders and profiteers, by their reckless performance now, could create a situation of scarcity and too-high prices. Then the government would have to step in. So the hoarders and profiteers are like the man on the street corner throwing away his money. They stand at this moment in the midst of a fairly sound economy, the kind they undoubtedly want to preserve. It's the kind of economy which has given: 1. The hoarders so much money that they can afford to buy more than they need, out of their own selfishness. 2. The profiteers so much free enterprise that, not satisfied to sell at a fair profit, they can sell at an unfair profit. But by their hoarding and profiteering they are endangering the safety of the economy. And, since they're part of that economy, they're endangering their own welfare and future prosperity. Let's not help them by unnecessary buying. WASHINGTON—No more ticking—President Truman now junked plans for a white stop campaign this fall. He scheduled to go to California, hoping to help various Democ candidates en route, but the crisis has changed everything president will now stay close Washington, will make almost trips unless the war sits vastly improves. War Powers—Senators Tall Bridges have made independent surveys to see exactly what powers the White House has. These surveys indicate that man still has the power to all scarce raw materials, such as ber and steel; so Republicans to go over Truman's request war powers with a fine comb. They will grant him powers; but only after considerable debate and a lot of narration Russian Navy—It is learned that Russia has a larger navy than we ever sued. The surface ships have hidden in the Black Sea, and the subs are chiefly in the Pacific and Baltic. The thing worries U.S. war chiefs most that a Russian sub might sink American troop ship—which he be another simking of the Nazi and mean world war. Truman's Public Relation White House advisers admit vately that the president's relations are extremely bad. People blame this on Press Secretary Charlie Ross, but those who know realize that it is chieftain president himself. Even after carefully coached, he is a make off-the-cuff statement which have unfortunate reversions. When he announced the rean decision, Truman misses great opportunity to go before public with a fireside chat plaining the real issues. His fate to do this has led to mediable on the home front growing isolation in some centers. He is now trying to make for this omission. 75 Years Ago A part of the Heimann and Sorenson vineyard has been set apart by the owners for the construction of a large swimming bath, 40x100 feet in size. The grounds surrounding the bath will this year be planted with trees and laid out into walks and shady arbors. The bath will be constructed early in the new year. On next Friday evening, July 30, the Orange Grange will give a festival at the schoolhouse in Orange, to which all are cordially invited. Tableaux, vocal and instrumental music, etc., will be rendered during the evening and refreshments of ice cream, cake, fruit, ad lib, will be furnished. Admission 25 cents. Mrs. Jacob Keller arrived last evening. E. A. Pullen is a candidate for re-election for constable. Mrs. Weinberg (formerly Metz), has a surveyor at work laying off her vineyard into city lots. They will be speedily placed upon the market. 50 Years Ago Judge Landell was in town from Buena Park a day or two ago. The classic precincts of the Park, its salubvious climate and enchanting environments have caused the judge to renew the years of his youth, and he is now counted the handsomest man in his precinct. He spent a couple of hours very pleasantly in meeting with his many friends, swapping yarns of the "old lang syne" and holding out the glad hand. They say at the Park that the judge has good material in him for the assembly. Quien sabe? 25 Years Ago Signally honored by appointment as one of three American college students as associate delegates to the Institute of the Pacific at Honolulu, James L. Gardiner, of West Orangethorpe avenue, has been attending a series of meetings during the past two weeks to study racial problems. Young Gardiner who was a member of a party which toured the Orient last year is a student at Pomona college. In the list of persons present at the conference which includes official representatives from the United States, Canada, China, Japan and Australia are many educators of note from this country. The Woman's Guild of St. Michael's Episcopal church will give a silver tea this afternoon at the home of Mrs. Victor D. Loly, 221 South Palm street. All friends of the parish are cordially invited to attend and an especial welcome awaits any strangers who may please to spend a pleasant afternoon with the ladies of the Guild. Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Humbert, their daughter, Janice, and Mrs. G. H. Bailey of Phoenix arrived this week and will spend the summer at Long Beach. Wilbert Bonney is attending the summer school at the University of Southern California. While Mr. Waters is on vacation "Affairs of State" is being written by prominent Clergians. Today's column is Earl Warren, Governor of State of California.

UNIONVILLE, Mo., —'The public debt of States in May 1900 was 340. It is now in the net of 200 billion dollars, on times more than it wa ago . . . It is true that had two wars since the vital difference lies in the we have formed the Colony WASHINGTON—No more polling—President Truman has junked plans for a whistle-campaign this fall. He was scheduled to go to California, stop to help various Democratic candidates en route, but the war has changed everything. The president will now stay close to Washington, will make almost no unless the war situation improves. War Powers—Senators Taft and Adams have made independent keys to see exactly what warers the White House has left. These surveys indicate that Tru- still has the power to allocate raw materials, such as ruband steel; so Republicans plan to over Truman's request for powers with a fine-tooth bob. They will grant him more powers, but only after consideration and a lot of nagging. Hidden Russian Navy—It is now known that Russia has a much older navy than we ever suspect. The surface ships have been closed in the Black Sea, while subs are chiefly in the South Pacific and Baltic. The thing that joins U.S. war chiefs most is a Russian sub might sink an American troop ship—which would another sinking of the Maine mean world war. Truman's Public Relations — State House advisers admit privately that the president's publications are extremely bad. Some male blame this on Press Secretary Charlie Ross, but those in the new realize that it is chiefly the evident himself. Even after carefully coached, he is apt to take off-the-cuff statements which have unfortunate reverberations. When he announced the Kodachrome decision, Truman missed a great opportunity to go before the cic with a fireside chat examining the real issues. His failure to this has led to mediocre life on the home front and living isolation in some quarters. He is now trying to make up this omission. worked then, the same system will not work now, because now we have to think about defense against the atomic bomb. And we know that buckets of sand are not going to be enough. What form any future danger may fake or how acute it may become, no human being knows at the present time. But eternal vigilance is the price of safety in this situation as in all others, and we in California are determined to do everything we can, in cooperation with the federal government, to protect our citizens in any emergency that may come along. The direction of our civilian defense program in California is a function of the State Disaster Council, of which I am chairman, and which includes the lieutenant governor, the attorney general, the president pro tempore of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, representatives of city and county governments, law enforcement activities, fire services and the Red Cross. In addition, I have appointed special advisory committees in fields closely concerned with civilian defense. We have two committees of long standing that served very ably and very consciously throughout World War II—a law enforcement advisory committee and fire services advisory committee. These two agencies not only worked satisfactorily in their own fields but they worked extremely well with each other. More recently we have set up an emergency medical advisory committee, a radiological safety advisory committee, a state communications advisory board, and a utilities advisory committee. All of these groups have met since the start of the Korean fighting to re-examine the progress we have made in civilian defense and to make recommendations for further development of our program. The speed with which we were able to do these things is the result of legislative action taken in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II. Those of us who spent so much time in civilian defense during the war were of the opinion that it would be wise to salvage some of the devotion and energy that had been put into civilian defense by Colony Quips By keeping our ears open wide we heard the other day that in just a week or so the U.S. government is going to ask for bids on orange concentrate for a new school lunch program to be made out of the highest type of products fruit. This sort of business has always been looked upon as something to "stabilize" the processing business. But we are afraid that the industry (only in California) still looks upon the processing industry as salvage deal. Confidentially, the whole California orange picture, Mr. Wohlwend too, looks like a salvage operation. With an orange price for the season of $1.92 and parity at $4.08 something just has to be done. These figures are from the U.S. Department of Agriculture so they should at least be noticed—even by the Exchange. Again, confidentially, we wish to alert both of our readers that we have something authentic coming up tomorrow. It is a feature story that will appear all over the United States. The only exception will probably be Southern California where our citrus leaders are afraid of a runaway-market. That is what Mr. Wohlwend said a week or so ago when he got the prorate upped. See what a big AP writer has to say in this column tomorrow. Hal Boyle (Associated Press Writer) ENROUTE TO KOREA—Young Pfe. Jim Pasell was on his way to fight for America in far Korea. And like many another fledgling soldier there he has yet to cast his first vote in his homeland.

Today's column is by Earl Warren, Governor of the state of California. By EARL WARREN Governor of California ACRAMENTO (WNS) — neither or not the present Korean situation becomes more critical. I am sure that it has made my Californian realize that we cannot be caught short in civil defense. It has shown us how severely trouble can come, and it does all of us recognize the necessity of completing a workable civilian defense program. I believe that we had a real man defense organization in World War II and that, had it been necessary, we could have had great assistance to the general government in the protection of our people. Thank God never had to use it. Even though it would have made we have made in civilian defense and to make recommendations for further development of our program. The speed with which we were able to do these things is the result of legislative action taken in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II. Those of us who spent so much time in civilian defense during the war were of the opinion that it would be wise to salvage some of the devotion and energy that had been put into civilian defense by tens of thousands of our citizens. So we asked the legislature to enact legislation providing for a State Disaster council for regional disaster councils and for local disaster councils. This legislation continued the right and obligation of local communities to make mutual aid agreements for assistance to each other in the event of emergency. At the present time we have our state organized under the State Disaster council to a point where 172 cities in 50 of California's 58 counties have adopted accredited disaster council organizations covering more than 90 per cent of the state's population. Mutual aid plans for police and fire services cover more than 95 per cent of the state population. I believe that we are prepared to go forward immediately with any plan that the federal government might propose to us—a small program or a very extensive one. And in the anticipation of receiving a coordinated nationwide plan we have proceeded on our own initiative to do much of the groundwork that would be required under any such program. Hal Boyle (Associated Press Writer) ENROUTE TO KOREA—Young Pfe. Jim Pasell was on his way to fight for America in far Korea. And like many another fledgling soldier there he has yet to cast his first vote in his homeland. He sat in the seat next to me in a commercial plane. It was carrying him toward reassignment to a West Coast division alerted to sail to the Far East. His close-cropped haircut and boyish grin made him look even younger than his 21 years. "But I've already spent 11 months in Korea and 17 months in Japan," he said after we got acquainted. "I was home on leave when the fighting broke out. My division—the 24th—was the first to go from Japan to Korea. I wish I could've gone with them. I was in a heavy weapons company and I've heard some of my old buddies were lost." Jim said the army had called him back before his leave was up but that he didn't mind returning to duty. His visit to his home in Superior, Wis.—818 N. 17th st.—had left him rather lonesome. "The people back home just don't realize," he said soberly. "They don't suffer themselves and therefore they don't realize what people in other countries have to go through." "And I was shocked by the way kids in high school acted. It made me kind of wonder what I really came home for. "I never drink and I don't like to throw away money. I put about $60 or $70 or my paycheck in the bank each month because I was taught to save. And I am arranging to pay my younger sister's way through college." Despite his youth Jim already has planned his life and knows what he wants. "I like the Army and intend to make my career in it," he said. "It shows you a way to self-respect and teaches you how to take care of yourself." After he retires from the Army Jim wants to open his own restaurant. He likes to cook. He has no particular regret that he must go to the battle area. "I ain't no better than the next guy—and he would think about it the same way, too, I guess," he said. "I enjoy every day and I don't worry about what the next day will be like. I just want to be a good sport and get along with people. "I've been in the Army since I was 18. And one of the things I think I've learned from it is—to take orders when I have them coming. It also teaches a man to use his head and do the best he can." But Jim said he did wish he could rejoin his old outfit still in battaleline rather than join a new unit. When he left the plane I told him to be careful. He grinned and said: "Well, if you get in a tight spot yourself, pray to God—you'll feel a lot better."
