A case of wait and see ... Now we have a new price control law. At least, the Gazette published a Wirephoto yesterday of President Truman signing something. Anyway, it will take us a few months to see whether prices go up. If they go up, this law, which President Truman signed, will be a political football in the 1952 election campaigns. If they go up, the politicians will blame one another while the ordinary citizen stands by, suffering in his pocketbook. Because the law is complicated, it's doubtful any ordinary citizen could understand it well enough to decide who's to blame if prices crats and Republicans may be able to draw up their battle lines on the statements made by Mr. Truman and Representative Woolcott. The president has served notice this law, unless Congress improves it, will mean higher prices. By saying the law is all right and then attaching the little phrase—"if it's properly administered"—Mr. Truman's opponents can argue—if prices rise that it was the Truman administration's fault, that the law wasn't properly administered. The last time anything like this happened was in 1946 when wartime controls were being in the day long ago by MRS. Mr. A. J. Davidson left steamer for San Francisco Saturday in the interest of the hotel producers of this county. Mr. vidson is authorized by the Keepers association of Los Angeles county to negotiate with Francisco commission men for disposal of almost the entire hotel product of the county.

Charley I If they go up, this law, which President Truman signed, will be a political football in the 1952 election campaigns. If they go up, the politicians will blame one another while the ordinary citizen stands by, suffering in his pocketbook. Because the law is complicated, it's doubtful any ordinary citizen could understand it well enough to decide who's to blame if prices rise. But the groundwork has now been laid for the blame ahead, if inflation gets worse. On the one side are the president and his assistants, condemning this law; on the other are the members of Congress who passed it. The president signed it Tuesday night but explained he would have vetoed it if that hadn't meant the country would, then be left without controls at all. (All controls were supposed to end June 30 unless Congress extended them. By deadline time Congress hadn't decided. So it agreed to keep them another month. It used the month of July to put together a new controls law and finished the job Monday, just on deadline again, and laid it in Mr. Truman's lap.) This is what he had to say, in effect, when he signed: The law is bad; it will mean higher prices and therefore higher wages; it's so vague in spots not even government agencies can figure out all it means yet; and he'll quickly ask Congress to patch this law to keep prices down. The other side of the picture has been given by Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott of Michigan, one of the Republicans who helped piece this new law together. He said: "It gives the president all the authority he needs to control prices and prevent them from getting wholly out of hand, if it is properly administered." Now if prices go up the Demo-this law, unless Congress improves it, will mean higher prices. By saying the law is all right and then attaching the little phrase—"if it's properly administered"—Mr. Truman's opponents can argue—if prices rise—that it was the Truman administration's fault, that the law wasn't properly administered. The last time anything like this happened was in 1946 when wartime controls were being dropped but Congress faced the problem of price controls or dropping them or weakening them. That old law was supposed to expire June 30, 1946. Right at the deadline Congress passed a law to keep price controls, but weaker ones. The president vetoed that bill, denouncing it as worse than no law at all, charging it would wreck controls while pretending to keep them. The president made a pretty severe attack on Senator Taft, Ohio Republican, for his part in putting that bill together. And Taft cracked back at the president, both men carrying their case to the country on the radio. Because both were arguing on technical points that were probably over the heads of most people, the general public was left a little goggle-eyed. But that veto killed all controls and for most of July the country had none. Late that month of 1946 Congress passed another price control bill. That one the president signed but warned it was bad. The old OPA soon fell apart and controls too. At that time some of those urging an end to controls tried to soothe fears of inflation by saying prices might rise a bit but would soon come down. When the controls fell away, prices shot up to the highest in history, where they are now. They never went down. The famous Chinese suit be Judge Bailey was ended yesterday and Mr. Ah Man was found guilty of petit larcency. He will be sentenced this morning. Charley Hewitt refused to acknowledge the point of the court to obtain his testimony, but after taking a swath in jail for an hour or two concluded to tell what he knew the affair. 50 Years Ago Dr. Lloyd Bailey is expected to arrive next week from Manhattan. He has arrived in San Francisco where he is attending business matters. He will probably be accompanied by his brother, Major Neill Bailey. Both remain in town a couple of visits with Mr. and Mrs. Hueckel, and will then proceed Phoenix, A. T., to pay a visit to their parents, Dr. Mrs. G. H. Bailey. Welborn Wallop leaves a week for Berkeley to enter university. His brother Wheeler who graduated from the Pacific School, is now booked for one of the most promising firms in Oakland. Max Jacobson has returned to his home in Santa Ana Colusa, where he recently went meet his mother, who has arrived from Germany and was he had not seen for fifteen years. Mrs. Tharp is here from Francisco visiting her parish Mr. and Mrs. John Hanna of Mifflos. She is accompanied her young son. 25 Years Ago At a largely attended meeting of St. Michael's Spiscopal church on Tuesday evening, the restoration of Rev. Dean Bode, who been rector of the church for past for years, was rejected without a dissenting vote, and a gentleman is a "brick" to say least, and if ever he has the hood to come after that enbasket we may not be so cared in the expression of our so muchs. If "gives the president all the authority he needs to control prices and prevent them from getting wholly out of hand, if it is properly administered." Now if prices go up the Demoing prices might rise a bit but would soon come down. When the controls fell away, prices shot up to the highest in history, where they are now. They never went down.

Dear Chief: They tell me Hal Boyle is out in the Dakotas somewhere and that you have taken him into the tribe. You've got the right man, chief. Hal has all the makings of a mighty fine Indian. Mind you, he won't be much good on the trail, right at first. He has policeman's feet and the expanding chassis of a Chinese idol. Incidentally, this worries him, and every once in a while —the last time was October, 1946—he attempts some violent exercise. On that occasion, he played three innings of softball, and for all I know, he may still have the original charley horses. You can't tell because he always walks like a cigar store Ind—er, with a sort of waddle. Moreover, until your braves get used to seeing him around the council fires at night, it would be better to keep him in his teepee after dark. They could easily mistake him for a semi-bald buffalo. But these are small things. Let me tell you the important reasons why I am sure he will be a credit to the tribe.

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE BLINDFOLD TEST 25 Years Ago It was a largely attended meeting at Michael's Spiscopal church Tuesday evening, the resignation of Rev. Dean Bode, who has been rector of the church for the past few years, was rejected with a dissenting vote, and a unanimous call was extended to him remain. Rev. Bode has been considering an offer from the Central at Laramie, Wyo., where $50,000 pipe organ has been installed. He was to have been charged of the radio station at cathedral. Mr. Bode had tened his resignation to the truss of the church, but there was universal protest against his deeding and he finally decided to withdraw his resignation and re-en as pastor of the church.

When and if you hear that sort song just you ask where they had it hid. And don't smile. There is an odd thing about today's auction market. The small sizes bring as much and sometimes more than the large sizes. Could it be that the deal is "rigged" a little to help out the goose? We mean by this did the big auction shipper whisper to the trade that all was not well and that the buyers better play a little "ball" or maybe the forty year "honeymoon" would blow up? Could be. Just remember that a grower's organization like Florida Mutual would insure a decent floor price paying the grower cost of produce plus for his second grade fruit. His finest fruit would bring a premium—like the Indian River fruit in Florida. A MUTLAL would not jeopardize, infringe, embarrass or interfere with any decent, honest California shipper, handler or processor. It could help EVERY Exchange grower. Why wouldn't it help the air-tight corporation nestled on the upper reaches of First street? That last might be something very interesting to go into at length one time.

WASHINGTON (AP) — General Omar Bradley, who doesn't get riled easily, was pretty sore when he heard how one of his own Army spokesmen had blurted out to a press conference the name of an airborne division which had been transferred from Korea to Japan. The incident took place in a press conference at which the Army was explaining how Chinese communists had built up their strength in North Korea while we had weakened ours. What happened was that General Ridgway had cabled Washington for permission to transfer the airborne division in question to Northern Japan because of the fact that the Russians had two airborne divisions polled on the island of Sakhalin, threatening Northern Japan. While the two Russian divisions have only enough airplanes between them to move one division at a time, Ridgway wanted to be on guard against a surprise airborne attack on Japan in case the truce talks broke down; and the communists launched an all-out offensive.

Lemon MacArthur—some people think in a prearranged plan to bring the general home in a blaze of glory. However, the Boston reception committee declined to invite Joe to sit on the floor of the Massachusetts legislature during the general's speech. So Martin decided not to attend the Boston ceremonies at all. "I don't think I'd look very good," explained the ex-speaker to friends. "One minute I'd be riding with the general in the motorcade, and the next minute sitting outside the state capitol with his chauffeur." Ridgway Asks Showdown It looks as if a showdown is nearing in the Korean truce talks. slans had two airborne divisions polsed on the island of Sakhalin, threatening Northern Japan. While the two Russian divisions have only enough airplanes between them to move one division at a time, Ridgway wanted to be on guard against a surprise airborne attack on Japan in case the truce talks broke down; and the communists launched an all-out offensive. Washington accordingly gave permission to transfer the American airborne division back to Japan. Such a troop movement is highly secret. But the Pentagon briefing officer, anxious to prove that the Chinese have used the truce talks to build up their strength, blurted out the movement of that particular division to a roomful of newsmen to which foreign correspondents are admitted. When General Bradley heard of this, he tried to call Army Chief of Staff, General Joe Collins, but couldn't reach him. So he summoned Assistant Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. C. L. Holte and ordered a full investigation of who pulled the boner. NOTE—Bradley was also irked at the Army spokesman's statement that the U. N. deliberately halted its offensive, though we could have continued on to the Yalu river. This was why the Defense department later officially disapproved the Army spokesman. Joe Martin and Mac Good old ex-speaker Joe Martin of Massachusetts, the original champion of General MacArthur, was pretty sore because he wasn't invited to sit with the general when MacArthur spoke to the Massachusetts legislature. Martin is not only the leading Congressman from Massachusetts, but published the letter which led to Truman's firing of general's speech. So Martin decided not to attend the Boston ceremonies at all. "I don't think I'd look very good," explained the ex-speaker to friends. "One minute I'd be riding with the general in the motorcade, and the next minute sitting outside the state capitol with his chauffeur. Ridgway Asks Showdown It looks as if a showdown is nearing in the Korean truce talks. General Ridgway has cabled Washington for instructions as to whether he should set a cut-off date on further discussions. He reports that the communists are unwilling to budge regarding an armistice line 10 kilometers wide on each side of the 38th Parallel, therefore he has asked whether he should continue talking or serve notice that after a certain date full-scale fighting will be resumed. So far the Pentagon has not answered his query. The question is now under the most serious study by the State Department, the Defense Department and the White House. General Ridgway has reported that the communist delegates have put the greatest possible stress on the 38th Parallel and continue to make long speeches regarding its importance. These refusals of the United Nations to compromise from our stand along the present fighting line appears to make no impression whatever on Chinese-North Korean delegates. The issue probably will be decided within the next 24 hours. If the cord on one of your electric appliances has frayed, wind it with friction tape.
