National emergency... It would appear that within not too many hours the country will be in the midst of a proclaimed national emergency. The emergency is caused by Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia has thrown us into an emergency without the loss of a single soldier, without so much as moving a Russian army across the street, hardly without lifting a finger. Actually, however, this country has been in a continuous state of national emergency since 1939. This may sound confusing, but it isn't. The declaration expected this week won't affect the general public in such a wide sense as price and wage controls and rationing. the war is over, or Congress thinks they're no longer necessary, Congress repeals them. Example: the training course for Army officers at West Point ordinarily is four years. During World War II Congress made this three years. Later it made the course four years again. Back in 1939, when Hitler was rampaging, President Roosevelt declared a limited national emergency. (He later called it an unlimited emergency.) This permitted him to bring into action laws which already were on the books but couldn't be used except in emergency. So this country still remains in condition of civil unrest. of a single soldier, without so much as moving a Russian army across the street, hardly without lifting a finger. Actually, however, this country has been in a continuous state of national emergency since 1939. This may sound confusing, but it isn't. The declaration expected this week won't affect the general public in such a wide sense as price and wage controls and rationing. Under a law passed by Congress this fall the president can order price and wage controls and rationing any time he thinks they're necessary. He doesn't have to declare an emergency to use them. Why then declare a national emergency at all since we're already living under an emergency declaration and have been since 1939? It may, of course, sharpen the public's realization of national danger. But—it is only by declaring an emergency that the president can put into motion certain laws which he may think are necessary for this country's arms preparations but can't be used without the formal declaration of an emergency. Generally—for the purposes of this story—it can be said Congress passes three kinds of laws: 1. Permanent laws. They're in effect in peace and war. They stay unchanged unless Congress itself changes them. Example: the Taft-Hartley labor law. 2. Emergency laws. They may have been passed years ago but Congress, because it thinks they'd give the government too much power in ordinary times, has written into them a warning that they can't be used unless the president says there's a national emergency. Example: During an emergency the president can restrict the manufacture and distribution of explosives. 3. Temporary, wartime laws. Congress passes them in wartime to fill some special needs. When three years. Later it made the course four years again. Back in 1939, when Hitler was rampaging, President Roosevelt declared a limited national emergency. (He later called it an unlimited emergency.) This permitted him to bring into action laws which already were on the books but couldn't be used except in emergency. So this country still remains in a condition of unlimited national emergency because neither Mr. Roosevelt nor Mr. Truman has ever ended it. And we're still technically at war, too, since the war has never formally been ended. But in 1947, two years after the shooting stopped, Congress decided that: 1. Many of the temporary, wartime laws it passed after Pearl Harbor were no longer necessary. So it repealed a number of them although the war itself was not declared over. 2. Many of the emergency laws were no longer needed. So Congress declared the emergency was over—in so far as it applied to use of some of the emergency laws—while letting the emergency continue in-so-far as it applied to some other emergency laws. This meant that the president no longer could use those emergency laws—for which Congress said the emergency was over—unless he again declared a national emergency. So, if he declares a national emergency this week, the president will be doing what he thinks is necessary in order to use some laws which would have to lie dormant on the books without such a declaration. There's a question in the minds of some Congress members—because the emergency declaration would give the government much wider powers than it has now—whether the emergency declaration is necessary at this time. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Alliedim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL Staff. In fact, the Joint Chief Staff today have become the most important government factor in Washington. With broad-minded Gen. Bradley as chairman of the Chiefs, this is not dangerous; thermore, the other Joint Chiefs—Gen. Joe Collins, Adm. F. Sherman, and Gen. Hoyt Vaughn for Air—are also civil minded - officers. However precedent is dangerous. FF creates a system similar to which dominated Germany. Musical Criticism Most people have forgiven that, regardless of Harry man's letter to music-critic Hume, the right to criticize social and dramatic performances has been established by the American courts in the case of New York Times versus thebert theaterers. It happened that the Shut objected to The New York Times drama reviews, refusing to Times critics the custom passes, following which these purchased their own titles. However, these were not held at the entrance and the cases were barred. The New York Times went to court, and its attorney Alfred Cook, brother-in-law Washington Post Public Engineer Meyer, won the important verdict that newspeople have the right to criticize the right of access to music and dramatic productions order to criticize. No power bar them. Ironically, it was Eugene Meyer's music critic who got wrath of President Truman on head when he exercised that righteously contrast — WO what would have happened Moscow newspaperman if he criticized the child of Russia's man? The rapid promotion Lieut. Gen. Vassill Stalin, so Joseph Stalin, might be compelled to the rapid musical development of Margaret Truman, in that spotlighted youngsters might have come along so fast. But least in this country we can oceize—even at the risk of a bloody nose, "plenty of beefsteak" a "supporter." Washington Keyhole IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Mr. N. H. Mitchell goes today to Los Angels to recover a team hired by a Mr. Tyler wild left Anaheim suddenly yesterday, and got on board the steamer "Senator" at Wilmington without paying his livery bill. The annual meeting of the Anaheim Lighter Company was held yesterday afternoon and the following persons were elected a board of trustees: L. Durr, L. Halberstadt, A. Langenberger, J. P. Zeyn, and F. A. Korn. Mr. Frank Lafaucherie arrived last night out the train. It is rumored that two trains a day will be the next change in the railroad program. Dr. Ellis of the Anaheim hotel is about to leave town to practice his profession at San Fernando. The Fair, to increase the funds for building an Episcopal church, will take place on Thursday evening. December 23. The supper will commence at 5 p.m. and continue until 9 o'clock, when a large Christmas tree with its beautiful gifts will be unveiled. The kind and generous public are invited to place presents on this tree for their friends. Packages will be thankfully received on the above date at Enterprise hall. Said packages should be distinctly marked with the names of persons for whom they are intended. 50 Years Ago There has been quite a stir at the Griffith Lumber yard the past week. A cargo of redwood lumber was received. Mr. Grim had a number of extra hands employed in unloading cars and stacking the lumber in the yards. He informs us that a cargo of pine lumber is expected here within a week. The city trustees met on Tuesday. Present trustees Helmiseh, Dickel, Schneider, Schwenckert, absent Weisel. Mr. Athearn, principal of the high school addressed the board upon the question of the public library—asking for a donation of $10 per month from the city treasury for its support. It was proposed, he said, to join the city library with the high school library. Every town of any consequence in the county had a public library and it was time Anaheim had one. The cost of maintenance would be $15 or $16 25 Years Ago William Heying, a formerident of Anaheim died at home in Baldwin Park Saturday. He formerly conducted a store here.

George Marshall was appointed secretary of Defense, criticism was raised that he would instinctly break down civilian safety drills. Traditionally, civilians have commanded the Army, Navy and Air Force, so it was argued putting a military man in charge of all three services was dangerous. The phase of this criticism nowears justified. Though he has been in office three months, General Marshall has not yet called formal meeting of the secretes of the Army, Navy and Air Force. These three civilians—all men—are supposed to be real bosses of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Under them Johnson they met almost every week—sometimes oftener. It under Marshall they have met at all. Instead he, a military man, leans almost entirely on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In fact, the Joint Chiefs of Staff today have become about the most important governing force in Washington. With broad-minded Gen. Omar Holley as chairman of the Joint Chiefs, this is not dangerous. Fur-more, the other Joint Chiefs en. Joe Collins, Adm. Forrestman, and Gen. Hoyt Vanden- for Air—are also civilian-officers. However, the Dean Acheson is that he had wanted to retire around Jan. 1. Now, in view of the bitter battle against him, both his and the president's dander is up. When Acheson does get out, keep an eye on Tom Finletter, now Secretary for Air, as the new Secretary of State. Finletter did a bang-up job for the State Department at the San Francisco conference, has also handled various big international economic problems. Quot Wyoming's Sen. Joe O'Mahoney to Herbert Bayard Swope when asked if he'd take the Senate Democratic leadership: "I don't relish the idea of being the majority leader of a minority party." Attorney-General-elect Pat Brown; only Democrat elected in California, took time to interview most Washington officials who deal with his state's intricate problems—reclamation, tidelands oil, highways, etc. Brown also conferred with most of the California Congressmen. Chinese Relax The behavior of Chinese communists at Lake Success is so boorish that it makes the Russians seem friendly by comparison. Occasionally, however, one of the Chinese will relax and let his mask down. This happened at Secretary-General Trygve Lie's private dinner at which General Wu surprised other guests by being quite amiable. While it couldn't be said that Wu got around to any slap-you-on-the-back intimacy, he let drop some hints that the democratic system had some pleasing effects. For instance, he expressed surprise that the United Nations had done him the courtesy of translating his two-hour tirade against the west and distributing it to the press in English. Perhaps if the Chinese delegates were exposed to Western Colony Quips Here are a group of quotations; gotten together by Martin Andersen, one of the country's better newspapermen; they bring a message timely to the core. "We should re-examine our foreign policy."—Sen Taft. "If we see Germany is winning, we ought to help Russia, and if we see Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany and in that way let them kill as many as possible, although I wouldn't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances. Neither of them think anything of their pledged word."—Harry Truman (then senator), quoted in the N.Y. Times, June 23, 1941. "They promised us hot food. We got it going up there. But when the fighting started, the food wasn't hot or cold. It just wasn't. I didn't eat anything for three days."—G.I. in Korea. "If Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin and others of the Founding Fathers of the Republic were to revisit the earth to survey the progress of what they had wrought, they would no doubt be startled by skyscrapers, airplanes, telephone and radio. But what would puzzle them most would be what on earth had brought it about that the republic they had founded along a narrow fringe of the Atlantic seaboard should, in seven generations, have down our necks and pockets."—G.I. in Korea. "To be a guerrilla you as quick as a rabbit atious as a virgin."—Tze-tung, the Chinese leader who so disastrous ed the American armies. "I find myself in an almost inarticulate man."—I hold that in the last there is no such thing eign' policy. "When a policy can government the right to home, take my son out or his school and send the ocean to battle; where can dictate my pay, from my job, and lock up the garage—what is a domestic policy in its and painful form? "I sometimes find quarrel with America of its foreign affairs." "I am trying to process spirit of the motto we ago I copied from above of an English courtroom." "Audi alteram parting: Hear the other side Barton in N.Y. Journal." "Many were crying terical. The men's ha black with frostbite. No shoes. The Chinese them. Some of those walk were so dazed that know where they just walked in circles, them were practically bered. One man had shot away. It makes your cry to see our people like that..."—UP day of American troops over Korea. While it couldn't be said that Wu got around to any slap-you-on-the-back intimacy, he let drop some hints that the democratic system had some pleasing effects. For instance, he expressed surprise that the United Nations had done him the courtesy of translating his two-hour tirade against the west and distributing it to the press in English. Perhaps if the Chinese delegates were exposed to Western hospitality a little more — with no Russians looking over their shoulder — relations might improve. But as things now stand, the Russians are around almost every minute. CHP Predicts Deadly Holiday SACRAMENTO (P)—The Highway Patrol gloomily predicted today that the Christmas holiday will be marred by death for more than 152 California families this year. One hundred and fifty two was the traffic death toll during the holidays last year. Highway Patrol Commissioner Clifford E. Peterson warned: "There is every reason to believe this toll will be repeated—even exceeded—unless each driver and pedestrian assumes personal responsibility for his own safety." The Laotian people of northern Indochina fire crude skyrockets to ward off evil spirits. Though a man has all other perfections and wants discretion, he will be of no great consequence in the world. Addison "It was so cold the heavy oil froze in our guns. We couldn't shoot."—G.I. in Korea. "There is a sizeable group in the British Labor party to whom Gen. MacArthur stands as a symbol of and a focus for their anti-U.S. sentiments. "Why they—the British—are anti-American is difficult to say for there are various reasons. "One of these is that the U.S. without a planned economy, has made more progress than socialism has made here since World War II. "That is a contradiction of Socialistic doctrine. "Envy may be the common denominator of the hostility to the United States."—Raymond Daniell, in a London dispatch to the Sunday N.Y. Times. "They say the Chinese came in from Manchuria; but I don't know. We saw nobody in front of us one minute and the next minute there were hundreds of them, brandishing huge knives and throwing hand grenades" Some of those walk were so dazed that know where they just walked in circles, them were practically bered. One man had shot away. It makes you cry to see our people like that...UP de of American troops over Korea. WE'LL GET CLASSIFIED Dear Santa...

Oblong Views FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER (The Poor Man's Drew Pearson) THERE WAS A sign reading "House for Rent" stuck up on the front lawn, and purely out of curiosity I decided to investigate to see if landlords have by this time returned to normal or if they still act as if they had ice water coursing through their veins. Forcing open the front door I found myself standing on a sagging floor in a dark, gloomy front room. Espying an old man in the shadows whom I assumed to be the landlord, introduced myself and to WALDO HUNTER get things started off on a pleasant plane, handed him the door knob which had easily come off in my hand. His first question was "Have you any children?" I refused to answer this, on grounds that it might tend to incriminate me. Besides, the question was couched in a tone a policeman might use asking an arson suspect, "Did you set fire to this orphanage?" Thinking fast, I told the old beezer that yes, we had a small soh but that we kept him tied up all the time. The landlord seemed relieved to hear this, and invited me to inspect the premises. The rooms were dirty, cramped, and dingy. Great blotches soiled the wall paper, and plaster had fallen from the walls and ceilings in generous portions. There was a quarter-inch rent in one wall, and a trailing arbutus or something poked exploratory tendrils through a chink in the wall near the kitchen sink. Furnishings consisted of a wobbly kitchen table, a frightful old monstrosity of a gas stove of about 1900 vintage, and three or four old kitchen chairs. The back door opened on a cinder-covered lot where something like 25 or 30 neighborhood raggamuffins armed with sections of gas pipe were methodically beating into junk an ancient Ford chassis. Expecting this rabbit warren to rent for not a farthing more than $18.50 per month, I asked the landlord the fateful question. "Son," he said, as gently sifting plaster from the ceiling imparted an even more benign look to his graying hair, "I think I can let you have it for sixty-five dollars a month." It was only because of his age that I held in check a strong impulse to let HIM have it for considerably less than $65. O rent control—where art thou?
