Solid for Warren.... A set-back for the Republicans who solicit an uninstructed delegation to the national convention was encountered when Attorney General Edmund G. Brown ruled recently that no such delegation can go on the California ballot. The ruling, asked by Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan, dashes hopes of the recalcitrants insofar as putting up a delegation which could attend the national GOP conclave and vote for whomever it pleased. Brown's opinion, it is felt at the State Capitol, only strengthens the position of Governor Earl Warren, avowed presidential candidate, as the head of the California delegation, a position which never was seriously challenged despite the fact some leading Republicans in California made concessions. He points out that in 1941, changes were made in the elections code, and one of these changes was that candidates for delegates to the national nominating conventions can only be nominated by groups. The law now carries no provisions for individual candidacy of delegates. Under the present law, he said, a group of candidates cannot qualify without filing preference statements. Further, the group must receive the personal or committee endorsement of the candidate preferred. The inevitable result, the opinion says, is that a non-preferring, upendorsed and uninstructed group simply cannot get on the ballot. Further, he points out, the presiding defense mobilizer Wilson's trip to Key West was not lagging production but the ability that most major manufacturing, such as mills, may have to close due to 1952. For the inside fact is that government might have to an all-out war footing, while manufacture of autos, refractors, TV sets, etc., banner tirely. The choice of planes was laid down by Manly L. Mann, the nation's forthrightduction chief, at a recent meeting of defense agency. "If the production of coerder durable goods is reduced than an additional 10 percent it will be necessary to continue entirely to defense," he would bluntly. This would "abandonment of the basiccept of maintaining a substantial level of production of sumer durables while a same time meeting the need for defense mobilization program." Fleischmann added. The production crisis has caused by shortages and at home, plus stepped up shipments to Europe. The tumult fact is that military duction is lagging dangerous hind procurement schedule example, the manufacture of planes is nine months schedule. Yet the Air Force now has had to revise its Brown's opinion, it is felt at the State Capitol, only strengthens the position of Governor Earl Warren, avowed presidential candidate, as the head of the California delegation, a position which never was seriously challenged despite the fact some leading Republicans in California made loud noises for so-called "uninstructed" group. Consequently, should the revolting California Republicans want a completely "uninstructed" delegation, it will be necessary for them to choose someone as a candidate who they think might be able to carry the nomination in this state over the governor. Lacking such a candidate, the only other step available would be to select a slate which would favor Senator Taft, who at this time is the only other announced GOP candidate, or a slate favoring some other candidate should such a candidate declare. Thus the Brown opinion, and it must be remembered that Brown is a Democrat and reportedly has some ambitions concerning the gubernatorial seat himself, leaves the revolters even farther out on limb than they were before they started their attack on our "favorite son." Regardless of the results it obtains, the attorney general's opin- Under the present law, he said, a group of candidates cannot qualify without filing preference statements. Further, the group must receive the personal or committee endorsement of the candidate preferred. The inevitable result, the opinion says, is that a non-preferring, up-dorsed and uninstructed group simply cannot get on the ballot. Further, he points out, the present law evidences a purpose to eliminate uninstructed delegations. The 1941 law repealed the former provisions which required the 'non-preference' and blank columns. At the present time, there is neither a 'non-preference' column nor a blank column, nor any provisions whatever; for any group of candidates except those groups which have filed preference statements and received endorsements. Up to 1941, the law permitted candidates for delegate to be nominated and voted upon as members of a group favoring the nomination of a particular presidential possibility, or in the alternative, as individual candidates with or without stated presidential preference. But, he declared, students of American politics have discerned in the uninstructed delegation a tool which lends itself to political manipulation more readily than the instructed variety, while the system of instructed delegations offers the voters more control.

The local editor of the Los Angeles Republican paid us a visit on Sunday and gives his experience as follows: "We paid a flying visit to the delightful city of Anaheim yesterday, and were highly gratified in our short visit. We were very handsomely entertained by our kind host of the Anaheim hotel, Mr. Max Nebelung. We also paid a visit to the magnificent residence of Gustave Davis, Esq., and viewed his unsurpassed orange grove. It will repay any one to see what enterprise and taste can accomplish in a few years. His orange trees are inferior to none in the state. During our stay we had the pleasure of an introduction to Mr. Frank Eyr, and found him to be a real prince of a good fellow. Long may be wave!" 50 Years Ago December 1901 The Orange county Sunday school association met some days ago at Santa Ana and elected the following officers; D. W. B. Wood, of Orange, president; J. H. Clabaugh, Anaheim, first vice-president; Mrs. D. W. Hasson, Buena Park, second vice-president; U. Sid Lemon, secretary; A. U. Runkle, treasurer. H. C.

They met Henry Knappe, with whom they spent a pleasant time. They report an interesting trip and a fine country gone over. Beets in Colorado have twice the local tonnage and farmers are making money. 25 Years Ago December 1926 Two interesting subjects will feature the meeting of the Orange County Historical society to be held at the Ebell Club house at French and 7th Streets, Santa Ana, Monday evening. The first topic will be "The Western Fur Trade," by Wm. McPherson, the second "Jebediah Smith, the Pathfinder," by Leon McMullen. Victor Browning has the distinction of having received the smallest check from Uncle Sam that has been so far reported in this section. Victor paid his income tax and inadvertently made his check out for one cent greater than it actually should have been. Promptly there came a letter from the revenue collector containing a check for cent which at first he thought he would have framed and put up on the wall. But if this was from the government was said his checks from oranges ran on his fine grove on Brooklyn avenue are large and get larger every year. Victor in town a day or so ago, his trees are looking well and will have another very crop the coming year. Note—Mobilization Boss Wilson's plan has been to the nation's factories produce civilian goods, and increase fense production by expanding and building new plants. The trouble has been that this been too slow to keep up the defense department's no WASHINGTON — Behind Defense Mobilizer Wilson's sudden trip to Key West was not only jugging production but the possibility that most major civilian manufacturing, such as automobiles, may have to close down in 1952. For the inside fact is that the government might have to go on an all-out war footing, with the manufacture of autos, refrigerators, TV sets, etc., banned entirely. The choice of planes vs autos has laid down by Manly Fleischmann, the nation's forthright protection chief, at a recent secret meeting of defense agency heads. "If the production of consumer durable goods is reduced more than an additional 10 per cent, it will be necessary to convert entirely to defense," he warned bluntly. This would mean abandonment of the basic concept of maintaining a substantial level of production of consumer durables while at the same time meeting the needs of the defense mobilization program." Fleischmann added. The production crisis has been caused by shortages and strikes home, plus stepped up military impments to Europe.

This is a story of actual accomplishment—from the grower's side. How puny it makes the expensive efforts of our big cooperative look. Florida's citrus industry is growing, planting and making money for the grower. They are harvesting bigger and bigger crops each year and are returning more cents per pound to their growers for fruit the equivalent of our valencias. Now read this column from the Orlando Morning Sentinel, which is by far the best newspaper we ever see: TODAY The Citrus Deal—20 Pct. Profits—How Much Longer? By MARTIN ANDERSEN "ONE OF THE epochal announcements of the modern citrus age was made by Mr. C. V. Griffin's W. J. Howey Co. last year when it boldly stated to the universe that their 4500 acres had produced a net of 20 pct. per $1,000 invested in each acre of groves. "Now, Mr. Griffin's company makes a similar statement, with the exception that the investment has increased its power, earning this past year 20.27 pct." "The Howey story is significant because it has no stock to sell, no groves to sell, no land to sell, no care-taking facilities for other grove owners to sell. "DOWN THROUGH THE years newcomers to Florida have asked us and other business people and natives, this question: "'Can you make money on an orange grove?' 'Since last year, we have dispensed with a lot of words & time by pointing to the Howey 10-year-record which ought to answer fully & finally. 'And then, of course, the doubting Thomas wants to know: 'But what about all this I hear about over-planting? What about all those thousands of acres of Bradshaw, Fosgate & Keene groves up there in Lake County? How long can it last?'" "Who knows about security—whether it is the security of AT&T or the security of a citrus investment? MR. JOE HAYS, ebullient & potent crate & paper merchant, who has been in citrus here since back in 1926, recited the favorite answer to the increasing and ever-increasing citrus acreage: The production crisis has been caused by shortages and strikes home, plus stepped up military impments to Europe. The unfortunate fact is that military protection is lagging dangerously behind procurement schedules. For example, the manufacture of jet planes is nine months behind schedule. Yet the Air Force right now has had to revise its earlier module drastically upward because of losses over Korea and improvements in Russian planes. Fleischmann argued that the manufacturers of automobiles, refrigerators, television sets and other consumer durables, "on the average, have already reduced to per cent of their 1950 rates of production." "Consumer durables cannot be reduced more than an additional per cent and still produce at a profit," he warned mobilization officials at the closed-door meeting. Per Cent No Solution Fleischmann hinted, however, at a 10 per cent cut would not solve the problem of material shortages. Further cuts in the production consumer durables," he shrugged, "will not release substantial quantities of controlled materials, such as structural steel and brass products." Fleischmann's problem is allocating scarce materials such as copper and aluminum, to meet with civilian and military needs. He made no bones about this being a tough assignment for the last quarter of 1952. The growing demands of the dense production program will badly result in allocations satirically to no one," he predicted firmly. Arthur Smithles, economist forobilizer Charlie Wilson, asked either manufacturers were ordering scarce materials. Fleischman explained that his controls program "works on a production not a plant basis," which does it difficult to check. Looking at the immediate future, Fleischmann admitted that spectres for an "increase in the supply of controlled materials are bright. Shortage of electrical time by pointing to the Howey 10-year-record which ought to answer fully & finally. "And then, of course, the doubting Thomas wants to know: "But what about all this I hear about over-planting? What about all those thousands of acres of Bradshaw, Fosgate & Keene groves up there in Lake County? How long can it last? "Who knows about security—whether it is the security of AT&T or the security of a citrus investment? "MR. JOE HAYS, ebullient & potent crate & paper merchant, who has been in citrus here since back in 1926, recited the favorite answer to the increasing and ever-increasing citrus acreage: "Some 25 years ago I was calling on a packing house manager on the Ridge. It was the lunch hour. He apparently had waited until all the help had disappeared. Then he nodded his head for me to come closer. He looked over his shoulder and then to the right and then to the left, to see if anybody was listening, then he broke the startling news: ""Did you kno," he asked, "that we're going to produce 20 million boxes of fruit this year? And where we are going to sell it? Just tell me that. I say to you the citrus business has certainly but very definitely gone to hell."" "The BEST ANSWER to the future of citrus, is the apparent answer that those who have made their fortunes in it, are still planting. "The Howey statement says that company's directors have voted to plant 3000 more acres in Lake county. "This newspaper never tells anybody to invest money in anything, oranges, cattle, real estate or stocks & bonds. "But this newspaper has observed and will continue to observe fortunes made in a new country offering virgin exploitation in both citrus, real estate & cattle. "We will say again, as we have said before, citrus, cattle and Florida real estate will continue to profit those who understand the operation, buying and selling of these businesses. "Meanwhile, we wish to point out that those who have been the most successful in these Florida developments have been those who have worked the hardest, studied the most and gambled the greatest on the future. "We ARE PEASED to seel Mr. Griffin's advertisement in The Sentinel, because it certainly backs up all the optimistic predictions we have spewed out over the good & bad of the 20 years behind us. "We are just as pleased, and more proud, however, that Mr. Griffin is printing this same advertisement in the Wall St. Journal. "That paper, the bible to the most men with the most money, and which, when it reports a six pct. return on an investment, is printing excellent news, no doubt will sit up and gasp at the Florida 20 pct. profit. "And, no doubt, the bankers & financiers & investors will look all over it for the familiar coupon, offering a booklet on 'How to Make 20 pct. on Florida Citrus.' "There is no coupon, no booklet. "A lot of those big shots, no doubt, will think Griffin is crazy and that there's something wrong with the ad, or that this is the Bawl St. edition of the Wall St. Journal, out prior to April 1." Mobilizer Charlie Wilson asked other manufacturers were ordering scarce materials. Fleischmann explained that his control program "works on a production not a plant basis," which makes it difficult to check. Looking at the immediate future, Fleischmann admitted that aspects for an "increase in the supply of controlled materials are bright. Shortage of electrical over in the northwest has curbed the production of aluminum. A problem of financing additional aluminum capacity has not been solved. There appears to be no new solution of the cop-shortage." These are the reasons, com-cated by strikes in defense industries, why military protection is lagging. It means President Truman must choose between guns and egg beaters—the eve of a presidential election. Note—Mobilization Boss Charlie Nelson's plan has been to keep nation's factories producing civilian goods, and increase de-ice production by expanding building new plants. The onlyable has been that this has too slow to keep up with defense department's needs. Containing a check for one which at first he thought would have framed and hung on the wall. But if this check on the government was small, checks from oranges raised this fine grove on Brookhurst Lane are large and getting ever year.

MacArthur Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Outstanding event of last week at the State Capitol was the hearing of the California Toll Bridge Authority on the refinancing of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridge, which was accomplished to the tentative tune of $80,000,000, although the authority authorized only $21,000,000 worth of bonds immediately. The authority at the behest of Senators Randolph Collier, Yreka, and George Hatfield, Merced, who were backed up by supervisors and civic organizations from rural counties, adopted a resolution delaying sale of additional bonds until the legislature has had opportunity to discuss the matter. Collier and Hatfield have joined forces to get $12,000,000 plus, from the bridge, to be returned to the northern California highway fund. There is opposition to the demand, and a similar request was turned down by the state legislature earlier this year, being referred to an interim committee for study. The senators hold that maintenance and operation costs of TV-RADIOLOGIC Art Linkletter Finds He’s at Loss for Words By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—Art Linkletter, emcee of the C.B.S. Radio's House Party" and "People Are Funny" programs is a fellow who's never at a loss for words—so long as those words are part of the English language. But recently, he ran into a situation where he knew what to say, and lacked the necessary vocabulary for it. Art was telling me, that as West Coast chairman of the Foster Parents Plan, he was playing host to three war orphans who have been adopted under that plan, and discovered that his own "foster child," a young French boy and Steve Allen's adopted war orphan, an Italian youngster, spoke no English at all. And Link had a lot of things that he wanted to tell the boys. The third orphan, an Austrian girl, was raised in England, so she understood what he was saying—but not Roland, the French lad, nor Roberto, from Italy. On the third night of their visit to Los Angeles Art hosted a Thanksgiving dinner at the American Room of the Brown Derby, and discovered a universal language — food! Both foreign-speaking youngsters had no trouble letting Art know what they wanted. The dinner started with a tasty but non-filling "bread soup" made especially for the occasion out of black bread, garlic and water. It represented authentically the sort of meal most of the unfortunate youngsters as well as adults in European villages are used to. It was nibbled at—but not enjoyed too well—by the guests who attended the affair. The group then moved to the small serving room where Derby chefs had prepared a sumptious buffet which they estimated would have cost at least seven dollars or more a plate. On the tables were dishes as cold jumbo shrimps on ice, cold lobsters bellevue, chicken chaud froid, roast tom turkey with dressing, and gravy, roast prime ribs, baked ham, pumpkin and mince pies, loads of potatoes and gallons of gravy. To top it all off, a huge ice cornucopia decorated with California fruits. The kids eyes bulged . . . so did their tummys. This they understood! DOWN TV-RADIO ROW . . .

There is opposition to the demand, and a similar request was turned down by the state legislature earlier this year, being referred to an interim committee for study. The senators hold that maintenance and operation costs of the bridge never should have come out of state highway funds, but should be paid from tolls. On the other hand, the City of Alameda, as well as San Francisco and Oakland, are stymied once again in obtaining bigger and better approaches to the bridge, including a tube under Alameda estuary to relieve traffic conditions on the present, inadequate two-lane tube. EXECUTIVE: Governor Earl Warren left University of California hospital where he was recuperating from an appendectomy and removal of adhesions, and spent the week end at the governor's mansion in Sacramento. His attaches in Sacramento say his recovery has been excellent, and it is expected that the operation will put the governor in top physical shape for his presidential campaign. RELIEF CHISELING: Charges of relief roll chiseling, particularly in cases of needy children, brought fire to the eye of Charles L. Schottland, state director of societal welfare. Schottland issued orders to his area supervisors to report every case of chiseling to him, and also to determine what the various counties are doing about them, thus tossing the question into the laps of the supervisors. The supervisor's association came out with a statement that it "welcomed" Schottland's entry into the battle to stop chisling, and meanwhile Solomon County brought the attorney general's office into the picture by securing a special investigator of the grand jury to investigate charges made in that county. TRAFFIC DEATHS: More than 300 persons are expected to die on California highways as the result of automobile accidents but not Roland, the French lad, nor Roberto, from Italy. On the third night of their visit to Los Angeles Art hosted a Thanksgiving dinner at the American Room of the Brown Derby, and discovered a universal language — food! Both foreign-speaking youngsters had no trouble letting Art know what they wanted. The dinner started with a collection of the material needed locally will be provided by the governor's committee on traffic problems in local campaigns to bring the attention of the people to this serious situation. Deaths will go above $300 this year, the California Highway patrol predicts. AUCTION SALE: While the state isn't going into the auctioneering business, nevertheless it will hold an auction Dec. 6 and 7, of unclaimed estate effects collected since the 1890's. Eighty watches, a peach pit carved into a basket, diamond rings, pocketknives, and other effects left by persons without family to claim their states, are to be sold. Before the sale, however, the state complied with federal law by selling all the old gold in the accumulation to the mint, and depositing the $1700 received in the state school lands fund, where the money received from the auction will go. UNINSTRUCTED DELEGATES: Attorney General Edmund G. Brown ruled that state law prohibits an uninstructed delegation to the California ballot, such as proposed by recalcitrant Republicans inimical to the campaign of Governor Warren for president. Consequently, if the revolters plan a ticket, they must choose a figurehead, or declare for another avowed candidate for the nomination, the only other of which so far is Senator Robert Taft. CASH ROLLs IN: California had over $92 million cash excess at the close of business Oct. 31, State Controller Thomas H.

CASH ROLLS IN: California had over $92 million cash excess at the close of business Oct. 31, State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel announced, adding that $188 million has been deposited in the state treasury in tax revenue since the beginning of the fiscal year July 1. The cash received, Kuchel said, represents an increase of 30 million dollars, or nearly 20 per cent over the same period a year ago. Of the 30 million increase, 13 million upjumped in the state sales tax returns, reflecting more buying on the part of Californians. HERE AND THERE: Third District Court of Appeal ruled that California divorces supersede Nevada separations insolar as alimony and other adjudications are concerned; plans are under way for expansion of the state's labor conciliation service, following a ruling of the attorney general that it is mandatory for the service to intervene on request; a speech by Vincent D. Kennedy, managing director of the California Retailers, in Texas before the National Tax association revealed that the retailers are displeased with the current trend toward sales taxes in cities, and will seek at the next legislative session a measure centering collections in the state, with rebates to cities and counties; to equalize the tax throughout the state and cause less trouble in making returns; growing importance of aviation industry sets schools off on trend toward teaching more about education in public educational institutions.
