A story on Page 1 of the Gazette today points up prospects for a major legislative battle over the question of whether to cut taxes or leave them at present rates are growing daily. For when the state's solons convene in Sacramento, March 2, they will be confronted with the issue of slicing the state sales tax from the present three per cent, and increasing the exemptions on income tax, as well as reducing franchise and corporation taxes, or leaving the rates as they are at present and storing up the surplus for future use. The motivating reasons for a tax cut, such as suggested by Assemblyman Harold Levering, of Santa Monica, are the facts that the state this year will collect between $125 and $150 million dollars more from its people than is needed for current use and the forward by men who are sincere in their beliefs. It remains, then, for the state legislature to make the final decision, and many factors will enter into the picture before the last roll-call is taken. There is the factor to be considered of expediency, for 1952 is a campaign year, with 100 of 120 Senators and Assemblymen seeking election. There is no question but what a vote for tax reduction is a powerful campaign argument. Also, there is the probable coalition factor in the Assembly. Levering, a Republican, no doubt will have the support of a fairly good sized group of his fellow party men. On the other hand, Assemblyman Julian Beck, Democratic floor leader, has expressed himself as favoring tax reduction and has polled the Democratic members to determine their stance. "This will be a secret meeting in which every house will be interested will be held at 10 a.m. tomorrow in the Crest Room of the Sherman hotel Chicago. Present at the meeting will representatives of the livestock industry and the big food processors, and their purpose will be to kill price controls. "This will be a secret meeting without publicity," wrote C. Watson, president of the Corn Belt Livestock Feeders association, to various meat, grain and food processors. However, column has obtained copies of correspondence and believes public is entitled to know what backstage forces are working defeat price controls. The first confidential letter calling the meeting was mailed by the Corn Belt Livestock Feeders on Jan. 31, stating: "Your association wants to rid of OPS and price controls. Association wants to get rid of OPS and price controls. "Various groups within industries such as the national stock and meat industry conference are doing most excellent work. But this is much bigger than livestock. All branches of business should work together in a well-planned fight. "If you are willing to work with other organizations, please attend a meeting at cage on Feb. 28. This will be confidential meeting without publicity." The Livestock Feeders association enclosed a plan of strife. poration taxes, or leaving the rates as they are at present and storing up the surplus for future use. The motivating reasons for a tax cut, such as suggested by Assemblyman Harold Levering of Santa Monica, are the facts that the state this year will collect between $125 and $150 million dollars more from its people than is needed for current use, and the contention on the part of economyminded legislators that tax reduction will be economically sound for business and a public already highly overburdened with government expenditures. On the other hand, Governor Warren maintains that in view of the world economic situation and uncertainty, a tax reduction at this time would be unSound. His reasoning is based on two factors, the first, that culmination of the Korean war would severely jolt the expansive economic conditions now enjoyed by the state, and second, that California's growth and the increasing demands of the public on government necessitate the carmarking of surplus monies for future building. Thus the legislators will be confronted with two widely divergent attitudes on the state's financial situation, both of which are put into campaign argument. Also, there is the probable coalition factor in the Assembly. Levering, a Republican, no doubt will have the support of a fairly good sized group of his fellow party men. On the other hand, Assemblyman Julian Beck, Democratic floor leader, has expressed himself as favoring tax reduction and has polled the Democratic members to determine their attitudes. So far, he has not announced the result of the poll, but it is generally conceded that if the Levering group and the Democrats got together on a program, they would have little trouble pushing it through the assembly. The Senate, however, is a different story. The vast majority of the state's Senators are from rural areas, with the heavily populated counties of Los Angeles and San Francisco having only one Senator apiece. And it is in these counties, plus Alameda and San Diego, where the bulk of the sales tax is collected. The rural Senators never have been too favorable to propositions wherein the greatest benefit would accrue to the cities. Consequently, the situation has all the elements of a major engagement and might have some effect on your pocketbook. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

"Those with radio time will be asked to invite in the representatives of other organizations when some startling bit of information could be broadcast would bring resentment again OPS," the memo advised. "Deliberate and planned attention would be to make it as unsavvy to the public as was OPA."

How she was dressed is described in the following paragraph. The queen's costume was of black velvet, trimmed with miniver fur, a squeece neck corsage, and long flowing sleeves. On her head was a widow's cap surmounted by a diamond crown. The "Kohinoor," or "Mountain of Light," that great diamond with a history almost as old as Christianity, which has glittered in the turbans of Indian Emperors for five centuries, which was more than once a king's ransom, blazed on the imperial bosom, supposed to indicate in its marvelous brilliancy the value of the imperial addition to the British crown.

I am sorry we ever bought that thing.” “That thing” is her hate name for Miss Cyclops, who has dominated our parlor for about a month. I suppose this same rivalry between wives and television sets is going on in millions of American homes. It is naturally hard for a wife to understand why her husband will pay more attention to a one-eyed machine than he will to her. No wonder the wife is jealous. But you can’t exactly blame the husband. In a single evening he can look into his TV set and see a debate between two Senators, a musical program, a boxing match, and an old movie. He can’t get all that free entertainment by staring into his wife’s eyeballs. The average wife is beginning to realize this, and it is giving her a feeling of hopeless inferiority. And it doesn’t make her feel any better, when she goes into the nursery to croon her child to sleep with an old lullaby, to have her moppet say: “Cut out that rock-a-bye baby stuff, mama..Don’t you know any singing commercials?” What can a wife do? How can she fight back at this piece of TV-RADIOLOGIC Bailey’s Radio-TV Show Now in Seventh Year By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — “Queen for a Day,” the popular participation show on both radio and television, is now in its seventh year as a coast-to-coast program. It is more generally known as the “Cinderella” show, for more than 1800 women have had their wishes fulfilled by being crowned “queen.” Twenty one women are chosen each day from the studio audience to compete for the five candidates spots, who then are put through their paces by genial emcee Jack Bailey, the “Prince Charming” of millions of American women who are his daily listeners. Jack, who is fast on the comeback with quips and jokes, at lunch the other day remarked, “Is Don Lee–Network buying?—if so—go easy, they lost a couple of spot announcements on ‘Rise and Shine.’” Jack told me about some of the wishes that contestants ask for, which range from the sublime to the utterly ridiculous. “There’s the one where the woman wanted a toupee for her 5 year old bald son,” he said, “and another woman wanted permission to throw a brick through the Broadway-Hollywood plate glass window.” Jack had the surprise of life a few days ago when he was interviewing a candidate for the show. Each day, the candidates sit at a red plush covered table here, in front of them are cartons of the sponsor’s cigarets. Although they are props, they look just like the real thing to the candidate made a slip over tongue, and Jack, feigning peration, grabbed one of the tons and hit himself over the knees. There was a dull “clunk” and emcee buckled slightly at knees. The carton wasn’t nice, soft cigarettes . . . but prop, it contained a piece of seasoned 2 by 4 to hold the carton. The surprised look on face as well as the lump on head attested to the fact that had never realized that these looking cartons weren’t the thing.

And it doesn't make her feel any better, when she goes into the nursery to croon her child to sleep with an old lullaby, to have her moppet say: "Cut out that rock-a-bye baby stuff, mama..Don't you know any singing commercials?" What can a wife do? How can she fight back at this piece of talking furniture that is winning her husband and children away? Well, some wives are resorting to underhanded tactics. A friend told me his TV repairman said: "You want to know why, something's always going wrong with your set? Don't blame me. Ask your wife. Maybe it's her. A lot of wives these days wait until their husband gets out of the house in the morning, and then they go and tamper with the TV set so it won't work. They feel that's the only way they can get their husband to listen to them." This, of course, is downright sabotage, and most wives haven't reached this desperate stage. But no woman is going to put up forever with a rival in le have risen in price to bebetween 30 and 41 cents a pound, causing ground steak to shoot up from 42 cents per pound during the war years under OPA to 98 cents in June 1950, and $1.12 in May 1951. It was at this point that OPS slapped on controls. Note 2—The cattle feeders who conspire to end price controls are estimated by the Agriculture Department to be making a profit of $48 per head as of this year. The ten-year average profit prior to this period was $23 per head. Jack had the surprise of his life a few days ago when he was interviewing a candidate for the show. Each day, the candidates sit at a red plush covered table here, in front of them are cartons of the sponsor's cigarets.

Last Sunday I watched Miss Cyclops for nine hours straight and wore out a pair of pants. That's an idea. Why don't they sell "television trousers" guaranteed to last as long as the set itself. They could make them of aluminum and nylon. I invited Frances out to dinner the other evening, and she said coldly: "Arent' you going to take that thing along too? She may get lonely without you." When I mentioned this to a fellow who has been a video fan for years he laughed and said: "The infestation wears off. After a few months I found I was hardly paying anymore attention to my TV set than I was to my wife." But I'm deep in the doghouse right now. I made the mistake of absent-mindedly saying, on my arrival home: "What's the program for tonight, dear?" "Well, I like that!" said Frances.

If UMT does nothing else, it will knock the bejasus out of an old saying by American mothers which ran something like this: "I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier." County Comment By GEORGE HART It may not be long before the once fantastic dream of water conservationists comes true, and the entire habitable area of Orange county will hold membership in the Metropolitan Water district. With water rights on the Colorado river for the whole territory. In fact, most of that dream which seemed so impossible hardly five years ago is already realized. Territory representing 96 per cent of the county's total assessed valuation was taken into MWD when the Orange County Municipal Water district was annexed last Oct. 16. Now the rest of it, that southern section below El Toro and South Laguna, including San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, Capistrano Beach and San Clemente, is seriously discussing the matter of joining the big parade of Southern California territory into MWD membership. The mountainous eastern fringe of the county, of course, will not Universal military training is backed by powerful forces. It also poses formidable questions. Before it is enacted into law it should be subjected to the closest scrutiny, and every pro and con should be heard and carefully weighed before the step is taken. The pro's and con's are practically endless, but let's hope that they are all heard in true democratic fashion. Proponents of such a law will say that a year of military training is one of the best things that can happen to a youth, and few will gainay this. Military training by and large is beneficial to the trainee, although a certain per cent, despite careful screening at induction, are broken by the abrupt change from the civil way of doing things to the military way of operating. Opponents of universal military training generally agree that there is nothing essentially wrong with training a youth so that he will, when the need arises, be better able to defend his country. That need, obviously, arose with the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, and the government took appropriate action at that time to resume the draft. At Now the rest of it, that southern section below El Toro and South Laguna, including San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, Capistrano Beach and San Clemente, is seriously discussing the matter of joining the big parade of Southern California territory into MWD membership. The mountainous eastern fringe of the county, of course, will not be included. It does not count. It's assessed valuation is negligible, most of it being exempt, anyway, as a national forest. And it uses no water, so is no drain upon the local supply. First hint that the south end of the county was talking MWD came a few weeks ago when C. Roy Browning, the Tustin engineer who handled the engineering for Orange County Municipal Water district, was consulted unofficially by residents of the Capistrano area, with respect to annexing to the new municipal water district. The cost, at first glance, seemed prohibitive, because water service to the area apparently involved construction of a pipeline at least as far as El Toro, and help with the cost of the line from there on to the MWD feeder line near Santiago dam. It looked like no soap. But San Clemente is now interested. One night last week, Browning, with Glenn P. Allen of Orange, president of the Orange County Municipal Water district, and Attorney M. B. Wellington, counsel for that district and the Coastal Municipal Water district, attended a mass meeting in San Clemente sponsored by the Taxpayer's association there. Opinion expressed there favored a full study of the question of joining MWD by annexing either to the Orange County Municipal Water district or the Coastal district. San Clemente's interest in MWD undoubtedly was generated by recent defeat of the $460,000 water/bond issue there, which left the city facing the necessity of doing something. Opponents of universal military training generally agree that there is nothing essentially wrong with training a youth so that he will, when the need arises, be better able to defend his country. That need, obviously, arose with the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, and the government took appropriate action at that time to resume the draft. At this moment, under the national emergency (which may last for years) there is reason to believe that the government has the power to draft all able-bodied persons, male or female, if needs be. Why, then, the need for a universal military training law? We are all agreed that Russia is embarked on a program to conquer the world, either ideologically or militarily. We are also agreed that the United States together with any allies it can clasp to its ample bosom is out to prevent such an eventuality. It is inevitable that the two great powers will clash, and it is inevitable that the U.S. will emerge victor! The U.S. can raise armies, navies and air corps to cope with this problem under present laws. We have done it in the past, and we are doing it now. In the hysteria of this present crisis let us not embrace universal conscription which, once the law of the land may prove to be just another fantastic bureaucratic drain on the economy during long years of peace which will be ours after Russia has been destroyed. The whole thing smacks ominously of those European and Asiatic societies which once innocently accepted the military state and which have long since lain in decay. To be sure, it even smacks of Russian tactics. And look what's going to happen to Russia! Chairman Russell (D.-Ga.) of the Senate Armed Services committee, a body which unan- TELE-TIPS . .

Wright, 1952, by Universal Radio and TV Features Syndicate Opinion expressed there favored a full study of the question of joining MWD by annexing either to the Orange County Municipal Water district or the Coastal district. San Clemente's interest in MWD undoubtedly was generated by recent defeat of the $460,000 water bond issue there, which left the city facing the necessity of doing something else about water. The need there is not yet acute, it is said. They feel safe with their local supply for another 10 years. But unless they do something soon to reserve capacity rights in lines that will be built during the next several years by MWD to serve OCMWD, they may find themselves facing far heavier cost of importing water when their local supply is outgrown a decade hence. In fact, the south end has already missed the boat in just that way, with respect to the Coastal Municipal Water district. That district extends down to the edge of Dana Point and would offer a closer connection than OCMWD. But the line there is already built, and it isn't large enough to accommodate any more territory, report says. So San Clemente is in the mood to do something. And there will be a mass meeting in San Juan Capistrano's high school auditorium March 17, to deal with the same question. That end of the county does not want to find itself in a bind when it really needs outside water. Moreover, it is now believed possible that the entire southern area, with an assessed valuation around $18,000,000, might work out something with the El Toro The whole thing smacks ominously of those European and Asiatic societies which once innocently accepted the military state and which have long since lain in decay.

It should make a great contribution to the defense of this country and to the solvency of this nation." Read that one over and think on it for a while. Pause over the words: . . and to the solvency of this nation." Does the Senator mean that without armaments industries this country's solvency is not secure?
