MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager NALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Some record ... The record of the First Session of the Bind Congress, which has ground to a close, isn't very impressive as far as the number of major bills passed is concerned. In just one way did Congress set a record: It voted more money than any Congress in U.S. history ever voted before in a peacetime year. That, of course, was done under pressure of the war in Korea and this country's vastly expanded defense program. Congress appropriated about $91,000,000,000 by the time it wound up the year's work Saturday. The record high, about $147,000,000,000, was approved in 1943, a wartime year. To help pay the bill, President Truman asked Congress to vote $10,000,000,000 in new taxes. It balked at the amount, trimming it almost in half time in the Senate. In the end, nothing in the way of legislation emerged on either issue, although the vast amount of information and opinion voiced could not help but have an effect on public opinion. The troops for Europe issue was raised last December when former President Herbert Hoover, in a speech, came out for withholding further foot soldiers and dollars from Western Europe until it made a Gibraltar of itself. A number of Senators, mostly Republican, took up the idea and the Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees opened hearings Feb. 15. The hearing and debate went on until April 4, when the Senate passed a resolution approving the dispatch of four divisions, plus two which were already there to Western Europe.

It balked at the amount, trimming it almost in half. Aside from tax and the appropriations bills, the major legislation Congress approved includes extensions of old laws; the foreign aid programs to help this country's allies strengthen themselves against communism; the reciprocal trade program started in the mid-20th century; the economic controls act, with some revisions; the draft act, extended until 1955, coupled with a lowering of the minimum draft age from 10 to 18½ years. Along with the Selective Service extension, Congress did another thing which could have a profound and lasting effect on the nation: it laid the groundwork for a system of universal military training (UMT). But UMT won't go into effect unless Congress approves it again. All it did this year was to set up a commission to work out details. After that is done, the issue will be put up to the Senate and House again. Much of Congress' time this year especially in the Senate, was occupied with debate over foreign relations.

The Express of last evening announced that J. D. Lynch has retired from the management of that paper. The business is now under the sole control of James J. Ayers. Judge Sepulvida of the district court, yesterday issued naturalization papers to Thomas Dunne, a native of Ireland, Mateo Castro, of Mexico, Henry Wohl, of Switzerland, Martin Varwig, of Sweden and James Varwig, of Switzerland. 50 Years Ago (October 1901) Chester Holcomb and George Case have departed for Indio where they have taken up land and will embark in the business of growing early fruits, melons and vegetables for the eastern markets. Mrs. Holcomb and baby remain with her father, J. P. Zeyn, in this city, until next year. The boys took two carloads of freight with them, and will build a house and sink an artesian well. Mrs. John Hunter who was run down and at first thought to be fatally injured by Conductor Clegg's train, on the Santa Fe road on Tuesday last, continues to improve and hopes are entertained for her complete recovery. The railroad's adjuster has been here to adjust her losses. Probably a heavy suit for damages will be the result of the accident. 25 Years Ago (October 1926) Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis have returned from their summer home at Bay City and are domiciled for the winter at the Angelina hotel. Miss Winifred Melrose was the hostess at the meeting of the Elysian club on Friday afternoon. The usual game of bridge was played. Mrs. William Dolan winning high score and Mrs. Florence Davis low.

HERE AND THERE: "sweet state" this Californi producing some 26/787,000 pts of honey this year, a crop places the state at the honey producing states nation; also California has even chance of becoming number two cotton produc The Sacramento Scene By Henry C. MacArthur Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO (CNS)—Governor Earl Warren in effect turned on the heat for more state highway money when he addressed a delegation of some 40 representatives of communities along the "Bloody Bayshore." The delegation appeared to request the state to improve the highway with a view to cutting down the heavy traffic accident rate and death toll. The chief executive said there is no substitute for money, pointed out the state is restricted in use of present highway revenues from the gas tax fund, and suggested three means of getting more road funds. The first was a bond issue, which he believes the people would not support; the second, toll roads which the state is attempting to eliminate rather than introduce; and the third, an increase in the gas tax. A fourth way, he pointed out, is contained in Senator Randolph Collier's bill for a gas tax increase plus a bond issue to establish a state-wide system of freeways. The governor said this idea is "worthy of consideration." EXECUTIVE: The governor, back at his desk from his eastern EXECUTIVE: The governor, back at his desk from his eastern travels, made ready to move into sumptuous new quarters in the capitol annex, where he will sit at a $1,500 desk and have pushbuttons to shift maps of different sections of the state from obscurity to the screen. The move is scheduled on October 29, if nothing intervenes in the meantime to halt the move. Something could happen, as the new building has been full of quirks that have prevented usage. The post office, for instance, is several weeks late in getting into the structure. Additionally, the Governor made a series of minor appointments, held a press conference at which he refused to comment, loudly at least, on Senator Taft's declaration for the presidency. CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION: The State Bureau of Criminal Identification has moved into new quarters, which consist of a quarter block building with four doors and no windows. A brick structure, it was erected for security purposes. Work of the Bureau has grown throughout the years until the Bureau now houses 243 employees, a photographic file of two million people and about four million fingerprints, as well as five million records and dossiers. AGING CONFERENCE: The governor is expected momentarily to name a research committee which will continue to study the problems of the aging, which were developed in a conference held in Sacramento early in the week. The governor promised that he would not let the subject die with the close of the conference, but would continue to work on the problem through the months to come. Many suggestions came out of the conference, particularly from the income maintenance division, which suggested abolition of the relative responsibility. WASHINGTON — When Sen. Walter George of Georgia heard the news that the House of Representatives had rejected his loophole-Riddled tax bill, he snorted: "The CIO did it." Big, bald, Sen. Gene Millikin, Colorado Republican, was more whimsical. Meeting Democratic Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, who had battled against tax loopholes, he joked: "When the Republicans and the CIO get together, it's an unbeatable combination. That's a partnership you can't lick." What he and George referred to, of course, was that labor and big-city populations were dead opposed to the tax bill because of the many loopholes favoring upper-bracket taxpayers. Both, however, overlooked one other important factor behind the defeat of the tax bill—namely, the astute political strategy of cagey GOP leader Joe Martin of Massachusetts. Joe was the mastermind behind the almost solid block of Republican votes against the tax bill. His official excuse was: "Less government spending rather than higher taxes." His real reason: "the longer passage of a tax bill is delayed, the more it will help the Republicans." Republicans are not shouting it from the housetops, but what they really want is a tax delay until next year, thus putting the Democrats in the embarrassing position of passing an unpopular tax bill in an election year—something the party in power traditionally tries to avoid. White House Cleanup OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER O RELIGION, what vile deeds are done in this What evil is perpetrated by those who use Thy shield! With the final act in the McCracken rite (a show which was loused up by ham actors from ing curtain) Orange countians thought there would be temporary surcease from sensational and sorrow but now comes the case of "religious" apostles who showed their compassion by applying fire to yielding flesh in an attempt to drive natural mischievance out of little boys entrusted to their care. But they remembered the Lord and prayed that the fire would not hurt the boys. That’s what they told the cops, anyway. It was called "God's Orphanage," but after the startling revelation of what went on behind its cloistered walls one is tempted to rechristen it: "God, What An Orphimage!" In this case, let there be light; let justice be done. Amen. RAMBLINGS: I get it from a feminine accordionist who once played on Ina Kay Hutton's TV show that the flashy, fleshy blonde is 54 years old.

The governor promised that he would not let the subject die with the close of the conference, but would continue to work on the problem through the months to come. Many suggestions came out of the conference, particularly from the income maintenance division, which suggested abolition of the relatives responsibility clause, and an increase in the $75 maximum now allowed by the state as payment for old age assistance. More than 2000 persons from all parts of the state attended the sessions. Compulsory retirement at age 65 also came in for plenty of discussion, as the conference strove to re-castabilise a labor pool of older workers. CAPITOL GROUNDS: With the wanky new $8,000,000 state capital annex scheduled soon to be ready for full occupation (it was supposed to have been ready last January), the state is stymied as far landscaping the grounds around the building. It has twice advertised for bids for the land-mapping work, and twice rejected bids as being too high. Now it has called bids for the third time, but is reduced the amount of work expects the contractors to perform.

White House Cleanup President Truman has told trusted friends confidentially of his plan to shake up the White House staff as well as the Democratic national committee. "I think we need some new faces and new ideas in the White House," he said. "I'm just getting the same old thoughts back again." He also added another interesting angle. "Whoever gets the nomination next year," he said, "shouldn't be handicapped by scandals at state in the nation this year, with Mississippi running a close third and Texas first; State Board of Agriculture adopted a resolution asking release of Marshall Plan funds in foreign countries to buy surplus California fruit and nuts, which these countries, formerly excellent customers, cannot do now with their depreciated currency; governor announced appointment of Mrs. George P.

Hallowen is in the air, and there is a gradual buildup to Anaheim's big extravaganza at the end of the month. You don't have to read it or see it, it's just there.

For instance, beginning Nov. 1st, a goblin will reach down into your little old pocketbook and remove 11% more of your weekly pay check... and you haven't got a ghost of a chance of doing anything about it. I hear a deep voice from the rear of the hall saying: "Oh yes I WILL do something about it, in 1952!" the Democratic national committee that reach into the White House, even if the publicity is exaggerated by the newspapers." The president remarked that he had decided Democratic chairman Bill Boyle should resign some weeks ago, though Boyle's friends had pleaded with him against the move. Finally, he called Boyle over and said in effect: "I know you've been complaining about your health. Before we get into the campaign preliminaries, you'd better get a physical check." Boyle took the hint. Manager Larry Shepard Billings Club of the League recently entered circle of 20-game winners third consecutive season. The Great Lakes have deep water except in co-waterways. TV-RADIOLOGIC Mike Roy 'Boy Cook' Has Assist From Yours Truly By TOM S. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—Couldn't for the life of me, figure out just how an hour and half could be filled with chatter from your columnist during a recent appearance with Mike Roy on his cooking show. Truth of the matter is, I had a ball, with the time seeming to virtually disappear. Mike features a daily cooking show from KLAC, Channel 13, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with a different guest preparing some special dish. As an amateur cook, was invited to "take over" to prepare barbecued spareribs, basted in pineapple juice, a special apple and onion casserole dish, plus fessing a Caesar salad. With nothing more than a large stockpile of uncooked food, the whole thing was prepared over television from "scratch," with Mike helping to break the chatter endurance with some very "painless" commercials. Only problem during the entire show was the peeling of those lachrymal duct inducers (onions) which had Mike and myself really in tears. Now, being an amateur cook, I'm supposed to know that to eliminate this problem, these little gems are supposed to be peeled under water. Didn't bring along my swim suit and didn't feel like getting wet, so for the sake of the visual audience... cried it out. Mike has as complete a kitchen as I have ever seen, all as part of the television set. DOWN TV-RADIO ROW ... That great writing team of Lawrence and Lee, who do all of the Railroad Hour shows, plus many others on a network basis, are now working on a new opera for Christmas.

With the exception of some public music, the entire opera will be strictly original. TELE-TIPS ... For information and entertainment try "Kay Murvey's Open House," KTTV (11) at 6:15 ...

It has long been said that nothing is sure in this world but death and taxes, and if medical science becomes any more proficient at discovering Wonder Drugs, the time might come when we will be forced to pay the tax assessor even unto, through and beyond eternity. Gosh! SAME OLD LINE—A measure of the shallowness of communist propaganda in this country can be taken from the stand the Society for the Advancement of Colored People has shown regarding the Amos n Andy TV show. The organization maintains that the show discredits the colored race, but its own performers, all Negroes, shoot holes through this fallacious propaganda balloon. They say that all situations in the act are "low comedy" and that intelligent TV viewers know it. No thinking person looking at the Amos n Andy antics on TV would assume that the actors are portraying the life of the average Negro family in the U.S. Nor would a Negro, looking at which had Mike and myself really in tears. Now, being an amateur cook, I'm supposed to know that to eliminate this problem, these little gems are supposed to be peeled under water. Didn't bring along my swim suit and didn't feel like getting wet, so for the sake of the visual audience... cried it out. Mike has as complete a kitchen as I have ever seen, all as part of the television set, with cupboards filled with any spice, seasoning, base item that could be asked for. A beautiful electric stove with very large oven takes care of any preparation in that department. A refrigerator, deep freeze, complete sink with disposal, tile work tables, dishes, and innumerable utensils round out the set. Jokingly called "props" in the studio, one could not find a more complete kitchen even in the finest, most modernly equipped home. P.S.—The engineering staff licked the platters clean! Hal Boyle NEW YORK (F) — Americans are a strange nation of people united by a democratic Constitution—and a red cement called ketchup. It is doubtful which has done more to hold them together. Long debates have been held on what is the great American dish. Apple pie? Punkin pie? Fried chicken? Turkey with cranberry sauce? The hamburger? The hot dog? All these have their passionate defenders. But to any one who regularly travels these United States, there can be but one answer. The great American dish isn't a dish at all. It's a bottle, a bottle containing the flavor in widest favor—ketchup. Ketchup, also known as catchup and catsup, is no more native to these shores than folks named Smith, Jones, Johnson or O'Houlihan. It is an immigrant. It originated in Malay. It was made usually of mushrooms, unripe walnuts and ripe nuts. South." What explains the overwhelming popularity of ketchup? Many restaurant owners have a cynical answer. "Because it's free," they say. "Anything that's free is bound to be popular." But I don't think that is the real explanation. I think the reason is partly psychological—part of mankind's old quest for certainty in an uncertain world. A man goes into the average small restaurant and orders meat loaf and hash-browned potatoes. When his loaded plate is brought, he looks uneasily at it. Doubt surges above his hunger. What is in that mysterious mess before him? Where did it come from? What is in it? He takes a tentative taste, and his doubt immediately deepens. Has the cook played a Hallowe'en trick on him? He sighs, reaches for the ketchup bottle, and covers the plate from edge to edge. He no longer can see what lies beneath the new red swamp he has created. And no matter what heady taste of glue the menu items had be- the snow discredits the colored race, but its own performers, all Negroes, shoot holes through this fallacious propaganda balloon. They say that all situations in the act are "low comedy" and that intelligent TV viewers know it. No thinking person looking at the Amos 'n Andy antics on TV would assume that the actors are portraying the life of the average Negro family in the U.S. Nor would a Negro, looking at one of the "Blondie" pictures, think that it was representative of the average white family. The commies reveal a vast (and perhaps fatal) underestimation of American psychology if they think we will fall for such Hitlerian attempts to play race against race, to divide and conquer. They should ask old Henry Wallace how he made out trying the same act during his zany 1948 presidential campaign in the deep south. We liked this story from the Los Angeles Mirror and thought perhaps you, too, would get a chuckle out of it: A gunman shoved his 38 into the back of a lone pedestrian with the injunction: "Hand over your monny or I'll blow your brains out. The pedestrian replied: 'Blow away.' In this town, I can live without brains, but I can't get along without money." Manager Larry Shepard of the Billings Club of the Pioneer League recently entered the magic circle of 20-game winners for the third consecutive season. The Great Lakes have natural deep water except in connecting waterways. The great American dish isn't a dish at all. It's a bottle, a bottle containing the flavor in widest favor—ketchup. Ketchup, also known as catchup and catsup, is no more native to these shores than folks named Smith, Jones, Johnson or O'Houlihan. It is an immigrant. It originated in Malay. It was made usually of mushrooms, unripe walnuts and ripe tomatoes, and was used to flavor soups, meat and fish. Only after migrating to America, however, did ketchup come into its own. Here, its ingredients are tomato purcue, vinegar, spices and sugar. And the scarlet, gooey semi-fluid graduated from a flavoring substance into an all-purpose food. Your true ketchup fan today will eat it through a straw. He will douse it on everything from chicken-a-la-king to ice cream, and only an iron tradition keeps some enthusiasts from using it to cool their coffee. In times of prosperity the poor man uses it to another everything on his full plate. In times of hardship ketchup is the poor man's surest fodder. He can go up to a cafeteria counter, ask for a cup of hot water, take the steaming cup to the nearest table, pump some ketchup into it—and he has a bowl of tomato soup for nothing. "During the last depression," a Florida cafeteria owner told me, "that ketchup soup trick almost caused me to go broke. I think it started with a damnyankee visitor, but he sure did spread the custom fast through theWhere did it come from? What is in it? He takes a tentative taste, and his doubt immediately deepens. Has the cook played Hallowe'en trick on him? He sighs, reaches for the ketchup bottle, and covers the plate from edge to edge. He no longer can see what lies beneath the new red swamp he has created. And no matter what heady taste of glue the menu items had before, drowned in the all-enveloping flavor of ketchup, a flavor as changeless as the U. S. Bill of Rights. No Americans don't turn to ketchup merely because it is free. They reach for it because it is the constant friend of people who must eat out in strange places, a sentinel as faithful to them as a lighthouse is to a ship lost at sea. Some may not actually like it; but they know for sure what it is. The biggest problem is how to thump it out of the bottle without getting it on your necktie. But that can easily be solved. Simply wear a bow tie. Then you get it on your shirt, instead of your necktie. And. If you're so finicky that even that bothers you, well—wear a red shirt. When used to cover a casket, the flag should be placed so that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. U.S. Navy battleships are named after states.
