America wants peace in Korea but has no intention of sacrificing principles and engaging in any horse-deal with Russia to achieve it. That seems to be the real significance of Washington's polite but firm response to the efforts of Prime Minister Nehru of India to mediate the Korean crisis. Out the window is the idea (approved by Premier Stalin) that communist China's admission to the United Nations be made a preliminary to negotiating peace in Korea. There's only one acceptable qualification for peace negotiations. That is for the aggressors to cease fire and withdraw within their own borders. Then the issue isn't one between Russia and America, but between Russia and the U.N. In short, America is standing U.N. will evict Nationalist China (one of the Big Five in the World War) and admit communist China to membership. In view of this, let's take a look at just what red China's membership means to Russia: The main gain would be in prestige for the communist bloc. That would be very considerable in the peace organization and might be far reaching in Asia. We mustn't forget that while China now is a stricken nation, yet potentially she is one of the world's great powers. She has within her borders more than a fifth of the globe's population, and she has resources which in time can make her strong. The eviction of Nationalist China and the election of commu- IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago As we go to press we learn that J. P. Zeyn and W. J.

So I couldn’t help thinking I listened to Truman’s since high-pitched, and somewhat lated explanation to the American people, that what more Americans need to do, instead of engaging and criticizing is to pitch and help out. Truman Needs Help When FDR was in the White House, a lot of people complained that we were too centralized, we got in the habit of leaving everything to the government, that it was a bad thing to such a masterful man with bewitching voice in the White House for such a long time destroyed our initiative, claimed prepared us for dictation ship. I suspect that it’s some of same crowd who are now grief about Truman. However, the rent crisis presents a situation where, if they are sincere, can put their previous ideas work. In brief, Truman needs and needs it badly. Whether needs it because of his own inadequacies or because the country faces a serious emergency, is worth arguing about. When a drowning, you don’t stop to how he fell in the water. You him out. I am glad to report that many Americans are now pulling and asking questions after Take, for instance, the Ju Chamber of Commerce, a wire bench of youngsters saw service in the last war, who know what it’s all about. They have already started hauling a plan to help out their country—and Truman—in regard one of the most vital problems: helping prospect soldiers to know what the shing is all about.

The heat of the past week has been rendered tolerable by the frequent visits of "Jake" the peripatetic ice cream vendor. He will furnish ice cream all summer. 50 Years Ago Eugene Mauerhan, who is spending a couple of weeks with his parents here, preparatory to a trip through the east, reports a way-up time at social gatherings, ice cream parties and orange annexing expeditions. He thinks Anaheim is way ahead of San Francisco in many things. Once an Anaheimer always an Anaheimer.

Postal clerk Dick Coons returned on Saturday morning from Albuquerque, the end of his run, and will start out again tomorrow for his next run. The first thing Coons does after his arrival is to learn whether the baby has a new tooth, then he tumbles into his bath, and into bed for a good old-fashioned snooze. Then when he awakes and 25 Years Ago Herman Koster was in town yesterday. He announces that, having sold his ranch in Soquel canyon, he and his wife will leave this morning for Florida. The Carbon Canyon Oil company, which is the new owner of the ranch, has already erected a derrick, and expect to start drilling for oil in the near future. WASHINGTON — The other night on the radio, as I listened to President Truman telling the nation about the Korean war, I couldn't help comparing his broadcast to FDR's during the war. One gave the impression of the master at the helm; the other of a sincere, somewhat inadequate little guy who was trying to do his best. I have also been reading the "Letters from Readers" in the Washington newspapers of late, and noted the very large amount of understanding, criticism, and opposition to war in Korea. Perhaps the president read these letters too. Perhaps they helped induce him—three weeks late—to tell the American people about the fundamental issues of the war. In contrast, I recall that President Roosevelt went on the air immediately after Pearl Harbor and immediately after other grave crises—because he knew that it was so all-important to keep the American people informed and to have their support. Obviously, Truman must feel the same way; but he both forgets about it and lacks the polished touch and sure-fire know-how who know what it's all about. They have already started hauling a plan to help out their city try—and Truman—in regard one of the most vital of problems; helping prosper soldiers to know what the shing is all about. The Jaysees are working on a plan whereby they would in draftees and prospective enlistmen around to a smoker who they would tell the new soldier something about their own perilence in the late war, them a few tips on how to advance in the Army or Navy, above all, help them see their jectives behind the war—we can make this world a better place to live. The Jaysees mean business And their approach makes sense International Police Some of their leaders reel what some of the rest of us do that when the police blow whistle, they don't then sit down in the police station and hold debate as to whether or not should catch the murderer. Hit to that, that's what the world has doing everytime a big naval starts murdering a small naval For years, the League of Nations and all the other peace organizations just blew a whistle and debated. But now, for the first time the history of man, they have something. And that is a preceant which cannot be allowed to That is the beginning of a system which may really prowl war in the future. That is most important thing to remember about the Korean war. How War Starts Another thing to remember however, is that most people understand when and why war begins.

Now the Exchange oracts plant, we are reliably, is set-up to handle a sixth of their Valencias War II began he would tell you at Pearl Harbor. But that isn't true. Actually it began when the Jap warlords invaded Manchuria on September 18, 1931—10 years before Pearl Harbor. At that time, Henry L. Stimson, then our Secretary of State, clearly realized that this was the real beginning of a world war and moved heaven and earth to try to get the League of Nations to help him stop it. He failed. No, wars seldom begin all at once. They begin in segments of wars that are gradually pieced together in a big war. This is because the aggressors have to build up their strength gradually; also, because they know they have to make war gradually, otherwise the peaceful, democratic peoples will get aroused and fight back. After Manchuria, for instance, the Axis bit off Ethiopia. Then they had a full-scale rehearsal for war in Spain. Then Hitler began biting off more and more segments—Austria, the tip end of Czechoslovakia, then all of Czechoslovakia. Finally he was bold enough and strong enough to shoot the world and risk total war in Poland. Regarding World War III, historians undoubtedly will tell us that it really began when Russia grabbed off Rumania, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. This was called a cold war, but it remained cold only because the democratic, peace-loving world was too weary to fight. Korea was just one of those segments. Actually it is not an isolated battlefield 8000 miles away, but a part of the Kremlin's carefully laid scheme for segment war. Sooner or later in this carefully plotted segment plan of warfare, the free nations had to come to the point where they could not retreat anymore. And I think Harry Truman deserves credit rather than blame when he recognized this fact. He could have waited for a Pearl Harbor, as FDR did. But the Kremlin being a lot smarter to train the children to become good citizens. It is not enough that they teach the elements of an intellectual education. They have a higher and a nobler duty. Education implies development, training, discipline; a repression of bad tendencies as well as the culture of good ones. The schools should train to habits of obedience and subordination, of honesty and integrity. They should inculcate love of country and love of liberty. They should teach the duties, rights, privileges and honors of American citizenship. At present how imperfectly this great work is done. The first of these two opinions is quoted from Sir William Berkeley, one of the royal governors of colonial Virginia in the Seventeenth Century. The second is a quotation from a report of John Swett, Superintendent of Public Instruction in California from 1863 to 1868. If we sometimes wonder why there is so much debate and discussion, and occasionally some controversy over questions that arise in public education, we might assist our understanding by looking into the history of various important educational developments. Some time after Sir William Berkeley expressed his opinion, reactionary even in his day, the self-educated people of the Thirteen Colonies declared their independence, and undertook to build a nation in which free schools and printing presses should be among the great instruments of a free people. John Swett's term as Superintendent of Public Instruction in California was during a confused, and difficult period, in which a tragic civil war was being fought, and the remote new state on the West Coast of North America was attempting to stabilize a society whose major industry was preparing to shift from mining of a highly speculative and adventurous nature, to agriculture. Yet during the Sixteies, there was a public deeply enough concerned for the fate of the state to give close know what it's all about. We have already started hatcaplan to help out their counmand Truman—in regard to of the most vital of all items: helping prospective ers to know what the shooters all about. The Jaycees are working on a whereby they would invite tees and prospective enlisted around to a smoker where they would tell the new soldiers thing about their own exence in the late war, give a few tips on how to get in the Army or Navy, and, all, help them see the obves behind the war—which make this world a better to live. The Jaycees mean business their approach makes sense. International Police Some of their leaders realize some of the rest of us don't, when the police blow a tle, they don't then sit down the police station and hold a case as to whether or not they did catch the murderer. Hitherthat's what the world has been everytime a big nation is murdering a small nation. Years, the League of Nations all the other peace organization just blew a whistle and then stated. Now, for the first time in history of man, they have done thing. And that is a precedent that cannot be allowed to fail. Is the beginning of a police motion which may really prevent in the future. That is the important thing to remember at the Korean war. How War Starts Another thing to remember, over, is that most people fail understand when and where begins. You asked the average person in our participation in World While Mr. Waters is on vacation "Affairs of State" is being written by prominent Californians. Today's column is by Roy E. Simpson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. By ROY E. SIMPSON Superintendent of Public Instruction SACRAMENTO (WNS)—I should like to invite the readers of this column to join me in considering two conflicting opinions on public education—an institution that today is supported by an impressively large investment of public funds. Here is one: "Thank God there are no free schools nor printing presses here, and I hope there will be none for 100 year, for leanring has brought heresy and sects into the world, and printing has divulged these and other libels." Here is another: "The highest purpose of the public schools is John Swett's term as Superintendent of Public Instruction in California was during a confused, and difficult period, in which a tragic civil war was being fought, and the remote new state on the West Coast of North America was attempting to stabilize a society whose major industry was preparing to shift from mining of a highly speculative and adventurous nature, to agriculture. Yet during the Sixties, there was a public deeply enough concerned for the future of the state to give close attention to ways and means of establishing a good system of free public schools. There was harsh debate in the Eighteen-Sixties over establishing the right to tax property for support of public schools. There was debate over permitting the education of boys and girls together in the same classrooms. There was a move toward adoption of uniform state textbooks. Then and later there was criticism of the school-masters as "intellectual trainers and mental culturists," on the grounds that they did not give enough attention to "practical" or "technical" education. There was debate then, and there is debate about problems of public education today. My own conviction is that there will always be such debate, and that it is a sign of good health in a community of citizens. I should be very much worried if public discussion of the problems of public education were to cease. Indifference, it seems to me, would be a step toward abdication of public responsibility for our children's future. CAPIT. EDDE RICKENBACKER, IN LA.-"There is every hope of averting global war by unity of purpose, through faith and prayer, and by recreating the true fighting American spirit." Colony Quips The prorate being kicked out this week changes the whole picture of the sale of California oranges in the eastern markets. The real effect cannot even be surmised for some time to come. The tracks are loaded. The whole picture in the east is too many oranges in their own "fresh" state. The customers have been buying too much sugar and others items they think will be scarce to bother with fresh oranges. That little 6 ounce can of frozen concentrate has also made a big hit with the consumer. But to get back to the elimination of the prorate. Some weeks ago the OAC decided to stop shipment east of 392s and a little later 344s got the same thing. This caused quite a bit of fruit to seek the products plants. Real Gold Citrus, right here in Anaheim, is running from 450 to 500 tons of oranges a day. They are taking care of the entire amount of by-products fruit of the MOD. With the new vacuum layout soon to be unveiled this Anaheim plant will assume its rightful place near the top of the heap. This new low-temperature concentrating makes all the difference. The old methods, still used in some large installations, must be discarded. The public will not buy the stiff if it does not taste just right.

With the new vacuum layout soon to be unveiled this Anaheim plant will assume its rightful place near the top of the hee. This new low-temperature concentrating makes all the difference. The old methods, still used in some large installations, must be discarded. The public will not buy the stiff if it does not taste just right. Now the Exchange orange products plant, we are reliably informed, is set-up to handle about one-sixth of their Valencias which will not go fresh. And, we understand; the trucks are heavy in Ontario. The new "Golden Juices" plant fathered by Edington Fruit in Fullerton is doing its stuff and is modern in every respect. The two most modern plants are located right here in the heart of the Valencia crop, where they should be. If you have followed this column over the past months you will see the pattern emerging of less emphasis to the fresh and more to the can. Volume prorate is a creature of the fresh fruit philosophy and while the actual control of shipments has been relaxed it must be remembered that the crop reporting service of that office has been of tremendous service to the industry. The accuracy of their forecasts has been uncanny. How soon another prorate will be put on oranges is anyones guess. It could be next week or next year. But the machinery is there when and if needed. Frozen concentrate, hysteria buying of non-perishables and failure to control fresh fruit going to market are the main reasons that the Valencia market is so poor. Mr. Wohlwend's determination to "move the crop" in fresh fruit channels "regardless of price" is simply suicide for the Valencia grower. Florida and Texas have no prorate so it is our guess that California can get along for a while without one. Nothing can hurt this Valencia market. "If you see my old man over there tell him hello for me—and that everything's all right," smiled one wife who typed out my accreditation papers. Many headquarters echelons are still taking off Wednesday and Saturday afternoons as well as Sundays—just as they did before the emergency. But they seem to be getting done everything that can be done at their level. It is always the frontline troops that have to work a seven day week. It is an old and unreal war in many respects. It is quite possible for a soldier to be wounded in Korea before lunch and to eat dinner that same night in a first class Army hospital in Japan, assured of finest medical care. Some filers call it "a commuters' war." They can return from missions over Korea in time to join their wives and friends in a game of canasta. But of course they don't all get back to that hospital or that canasta game. It is still a war. It has hit home particularly hard among sad eyed American evacuators newspaper publisher. "Some are stranded without funds. A number of ECA employees have resigned posts because they no longer want to return to Korea even after order is restored. And they have no job in the United States to go back to." Most rueful evacuee I met was one who said he had to abandon $7000 worth of household goods in Seoul—and that didn't include cost of his swimming pool. "That sounds like a lot of money," he said. "But did you ever figure out what it costs to clothe a family and furnish a house—from safety pins to a refrigerator? What I want to know is how and when I am going to get that $7000 back? It took four years to settle most of the claims from the last war." MRS. INDIA EDWARDS, Demo. Nat'l Comm.

TOKYO (UP)—The Korean war somehow seems almost as far away from Tokyo as it does from New York or Washington. This is odd considering that a jet plane can fly from here to the warfront in about the time it takes a man to smoke a 10-cent cigar. But an air of solid confidence has replaced the tension that prevailed in the first weeks of fighting. There is probably less perviciousness here than in the Pentagon. The touring point was the landing of a fresh American division on the eastern Korean coast above the vital port of Pusan. There is a feeling that the United Nations forces now can not only hold a bridgehead—they may even shortly undertake offensive action of at least limited nature. And there even is a hope that
