Watch these people... Booming Canada is showing the United States another trick today. It's still cutting taxes and still budgeting a treasury surplus. In this country, Congress is being asked to raise taxes, and the budget for next year anticipates a deficit of 10 billion dollars or so. In Canada, income taxes are coming down, as well as excise taxes — for a saying of from $100 to $400 on cars, for example—and still Canada expects at least a nine million dollar treasury surplus next year. If you want to buy a Canadian dollar you have to add two pennies or more to your American dollar. Eighteen months ago the Canadian dollar was worth 10 cents less than the American—its gained 12 cents in that time. American money is pouring into Canada for investment in industries tapping its rich resources. American capital into Canadian ventures (many pretty speculative) may be a "flight from the American dollar"—the desire to put one's money in a land that operates on a balanced budget, can cut taxes, and encourage industrial growth by offering tax benefits to those developing natural resources. Specifically, the rush of Yankee dollars to Canada is a flight from high tax rates on income, to take a chance on making capital gains, which are taxed at a lower rate, in most instances. But a larger part of the American investments there are probably based on the realization that Canada is emerging as an industrial power, that it has vast resources which the United States and other nations will need in the years to come. Unfortunately, scarier have al... IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anahima Gasette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago April 1877 Mr. Henry Martin made a complaint against H. Evans on Wednesday evening, for making threats against his life. Mr. Evans says he made threats only against the lives of Mr. Martin's chickens, and voluntarily gave bonds in the sum of $100 not to harm Mr. Martin. Mr. W. M. Bailey started his sheep this morning for Arizona. He will be followed by many others as soon as the shearing is completed. Several large loads of wool from the vicinity of San Juan Capistrano came into town yesterday. We had a pleasant call yesterfrom Dr. J. G. Bailey, who has located in Santa Ana.

Monday was the warmest day of the year, the thermometer going to 85 degrees. In the evening the sky became cloudy. At 2 o'clock yesterday morning rain fell heavily at intervals for two hours. It was the heaviest precipitation for its length of time in years. Mrs. Lloyd C. Bailey and two little children of Mazatlan, Mexico, who have been visiting relatives and friends here, will leave on Saturday for Phoenix, A.T., to pay a visit to the family of Dr. G. H. Bailey. A.

So ex-Senator Francis Meyers Eastern Pennsylvania in a court Senate friends on the juclary committee. Neither one wanted to be poenaed and forced to take stand publicly; though they glad to drop a few hints about Granery's record to the newspers. Interesting fact is that once rock-ribbed Republic city of Philadelphia which had had a Democratic mayor shortly after the Civil War, November elected one. It We had a pleasant call yesterday from Dr. J. G. Bailey, who has located in Santa Ana. The doctor is a Londoner, but for many years has been practicing his profession in Canada, where he has earned great popularity for his success as a physician and for his eminent success in surgical operations. In the House of Representatives, the special committee on Woman's Suffrage recommended an amendment to the State Constitution, so that upon any proposition to impose a tax upon unmarried women and widows, they shall have the privilege of voting the same as men. The following freight was shipped from the depot this morning: 12 dressed sheep, 3 empty bbls., 1 keg wine, 1 box oranges, 2 bbls. wine, 1 keg wine, 17 sacks potatoes, 1 box butter. Judge Peel of Los Angeles has sentenced a wife-beater to six months imprisonment. A team belonging to Mr. W. J. Smith ran away from the lumber yard near the depot yesterday. They were captured however before any serious damage was done. Mr. J. S. Roberts will move his saddlery and harness making establishment to his old stand in the building occupied by L.

Part of the picture will be shown the first day, the conclusion the next. Mrs. Homer Ames was hostess to the "500" club, on Tuesday afternoon, at her home on North Philadelphia street. The decorations were in keeping with the season, delicate, spring-like green being the prevailing color. The luncheon table was most artistically arranged and the menu carried out the color motif of the occasion. Mrs. Clayes won the first prize and Mrs. Fred Backs, the booby. Mrs. Arthur Lewis was awarded the guest's prize. Interesting fact is that the once rock-ribbed Republic city of Philadelphia which had had a Democratic mayor shortly after the Civil War, in November elected one. It was the biggest clean-up of graft-ridden Philadelphia politics in year and a real triumph for clean government. But the leaders of this new Democratic administration, Mayor of Clark and District Attorney Dilworth, not only were not suited by the White House regular McGranery, but are vigorously opposed to him. Yet McGranery is supposed to clean up the Justice Department. Washington Pipeline Boss Crump of Memphis is seriously considering ditching his year-old Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee for re-electrification Crump thinks it would be difficult for the Democrats to win if Kellar were nominated, is trying to get McKellar to admit health is not equal to running again... The House of Representatives last week unanimously voted against contempt citation against Herb Grunewald, the wire-tapper and wire-puller. In contrast, the State District of Columbia committee last year ducked a content citation. Reason: Senator Carthy persuaded Republican members of the committee to reverse themselves and go back for Grunewald after he had been linked up with Senator Brewer of Maine in tapping Howe Hughes' telephone wires...

He will be back in action in a few days. In the meantime his column will be Mepi going by Boyle pals). By GRAHAM BERRY BEVERLY HILLS — Convinced that "if enough people knew each other, war would be impossible," Uncle Larry Perkins is conducting a campaign against what he considers the world's worst sin—loneliness. He is attacking it where it is apt to be strongest—on the battlefield and in rooms where sick people lie. He does it chiefly by writing letters — thousands of them—and inducing thousands of other persons to write to each other. He has 200 "relay" agents in the United Nations armed forces to help him distribute the mail. Uncle Larry also stages vaudeville and variety shows at veterans' hospitals. He's an ex-vaudevillian and although he's 49 and his gray fringe looks a little sorry on top, he still can dance and roller skate on his hands. Another project is his "cookie relay." He claims he's persuaded high school domestic science classes in every state in the union to make Easter cookies and send them to the U.N. forces in Korea and Japan. Letters from shut-ins and the blind are given special attention. He introduces blind persons, via letters, to blind service men at OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER FOLLOWERS OF THIS column (surely a hardy and fering group if there ever was one), probably suspect by the writer has an ingrained antipathy for Army officers. Picions are well founded, and I'll tell you why. It all goes several incidences which occurred, oddly enough, in the night at an Army post in the deep south back in 1940. Corporal Sunnquist and I were attempting to sneak a sack of loaded beer bottles into the company area. It was well after lights-out, and bed-check had long since been completed. The Officer of the Day (they invariably prowl at night) spotted us lurking in the shadow of a barrack. "What's in the sack?" he sternly demanded. "Eggs," Corporal Sunnquist replied, thoughtfully adding: "Sir." It wasn't so much what the lieutenant then said. It was the way he said it. "Since when," he asked, "do living as a gardener, also conducts a missing persons bureau in the armed forces. His 'search lists' are posted at many military camps. His big interest, of course, is his relay mail system. He's talked dozens of coeds at the University of California at Los Angeles and young people from churches and other groups into writing letters, starting them simply, "Dear Cousin." The letters are sent to relay agents in Army, Navy and Air Force units who distribute them to men who need them. Many newspapers send him letters they receive from lonely GIs. eggs clink?" "I'm not going to throw lows in," he continued, confiscating this beer as you to your barracks. We tossed and turned on our bunks, and slept come to us.

Letters from shut-ins and the blind are given special attention. He introduces blind persons, via letters, to blind service men at Wadsworth veterans hospital near here. PERKINS ALSO entertains GIs at his modest bachelor's home; it is bulging with such items as 400 pairs of riding and cowboy boots, beautiful leather cowboy costumes which he designed himself, civilian clothes, uniforms, bobsleds, skis, mineral and stamp collections—and everywhere bundles of letters. Uncle Larry also keeps the cowboy costumes because servicemen like to have their pictures taken in them. His house also contains many gifts from grateful GIs, including shoulder patches, service ribbons and medals. He is especially proud of a gift from First Sgt. W. F. Webb of Princeton, West Va. It is the field coat of the late Gen. George Patton, who placed it over Webb as the latter lay wounded on a stretcher in North Africa in 1943. The genial gent, who has difficulty finding time to make a winter, after President Truman had already invited Judge Justin Miller to be attorney general, Truman told a friend: "I just feel too sorry for this guy (McGrath). I can't fire him." NOMINATED—George P. Shaw, of El Paso, Texas, a career foreign service officer, has been nominated by President Truman to be United States Ambassador to Paraguay. TV-RADIOLOGIC 'Continentals' Big Hif In Grove Appearance By TOM E.. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — All roads of entertainment lead to television, and television is leading a number of acts right into the night club business. This is more or less the case of the Continentals, who are currently appearing in the Cocoanut Grove, doing an encore. All of the lads are from the Los Angeles area and are making their first home town appearance after forming the group only two years ago. Jay Moffett hails from Venice, Calif.; Ben Cruz from Los Angeles; Garr Nelson is from North Hollywood and Bob Carson hangs his hat in Westwood. The Sacramento Scene By HENRY C. MacARTHUR Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO — Last week was a quiet one in the state capitol after the final, flurry of the state legislature and its budget and special session. Candidates generally had returned to their homes, most of them to seek re-election, and from now until the primaries are over, little will be accomplished insofar as interim legislative work is concerned. Meanwhile, the presidential picture had the green light as the outstanding political item, with four presidential tickets qualifying in the office of Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan for a place on the June 3 primary ballot. First, of course, is the ticket headed by Governor Ernest Warner. Night after night the group practiced in the living room of Douglas Laurence, who now is their personal manager, and after six months, they made their first professional appearance at the Last Frontier in Las Vegas, Nev. This was quite a jump for the boys on their very first public appearance. The whirlwind now started with a tour covering such exclusive show places as the Waldorf-Astoria and Roxy Theater in New York; Chicago's Chez Paree; Houston's Shamrock Hotel and many others. They have appeared on many coast-to-coast television shows such as Milton Berle's Ar- eggs clink?" "I'm not going to turn you fellows in," he continued, "but I am confiscating this beer and ordering you to your barracks." We tossed and turned that night on our bunks, and sleep would not come to us. THERE WAS another episode at a camp in Tennessee when I got permission from my company commander to go to the commanding general and ask if we could start a camp newspaper. "There will be no newspapers on this post," the two-star general firmly ruled. "They're dangerous." NOW, I DO NOT mean to infer that ALL Army officers are stinkers, as such. But I say that a lot of them are, such as ...

Jordan for a place on the June 3 primary ballot. First, of course, is the ticket headed by Governor Earl Warren, an active candidate for the Republican nomination. Opposing the governor is the more conservative side of the GOPers in California on a ticket headed by Congressman Thomas H. Werdel, of Kern county, who is pledged to release his delegates should he be the party nominee with 70 delegates from California. A somewhat similar situation exists on the Democratic side of the picture. Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, is an active candidate, and heads up a group of California Democrats who would deliver him 76 votes at the Democratic convention, if so directed by the people. At the same time, Attorney General Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, heads an uninstructed delegation, which he says isn't "anti-Kefauver," but rather, a "pro-uninstructed delegation." Thus, California has two avowed candidates, and two who apparently wants this state's delegation to blow with the wind and make the best deal possible. BITTER CAMPAIGNING is expected in the Republican primary. To date, the statements and counter statements of the Warren and Werdel supporters have been anything but amicable. The governor started the open fight when he designated Jack Smith, oil lobbyist and Werdel supporter, as a "slippery messenger boy" for the oil interests. Smith came right back at the state's chief executive with charges that the governor had made a deal for federal recognition, in lieu of being elected president. The governor had no further comment, but Smith attempted to keep the controversy going as interim legislative work is concerned.

We numbered about 500. Suva was the first civilized city we had seen for long, weary months in the steamy tropics. We wanted to get ashore as soon as the ship tied up. The major would not allow us to set foot on his little wharf. One of the boys started hand-over-handing, monkey-like, down a hawser to the wharf. The major ordered one of his guards to shoot the man if he set foot on the wharf. The man climbed back to the ship rail. The troops raised such a holler that the general in overall command of the Fijis overruled the little major and allowed us a four-hour shore leave. Sergeant Sterrett and I, after diligent search, finally were able to purchase, for $15, a bottle of Gilbey's gin from a sailor who thought he was at Cold Harbor, Alaska. We also bought a bottle of strawberry pop (the only "mixer" we could find) and headed back to the ship with visions of sitting in the moonlight on the after-deck fanned by the trade winds and sipping tall cool gin drinks for the first time in six months. Do you know how hot it can get down there in those latitudes? We never made it. That little major caught us at the gang plank, uncorked the gin and poured it into the bay. So you can see that this grizzled veteran must, from bitter experience, regard Army officers as a necessary evil. And now, be-danged and bedogged, if they aren't trying to get one elected president!
