Hot issue... Following close on the heels of revelations of enormous extravagance in the construction of air bases in Africa, comes stories about the building of a huge air base in Greenland. In the latter case it isn't so much an argument about waste in the process of building as it is the contention that the whole project is in itself a waste of money. Those who oppose the building of bases in the extreme north point to two factors. One is the great cost to the taxpayer in constructing and maintaining large bases remote from civilization. The other is the development of mid-air refueling of planes which, it is said, has radically changed the whole concept of aerial warfare on a global basis. The point is emphasized that instead of laying out billions for Labrador to rendezvous with, and refuel, planes that would operate around the North Pole and beyond in case of war with Russia. These air tankers would function much the same as ship tankers which supply our warships at sea. The trouble is that the arguments pro and con on these costly projects don't develop until after millions of dollars have been spent. Plans for them are drawn up secretly and actual construction is well under way before the public knows about it. This is supposedly necessary in the interest of national security. But if the public is to be protected against the burden of excessive waste in military projects, there is need for a citizens' committee made up of a few outstanding and well informed individuals which would have a voice in advance militarily. WASHINGTON — Senators McCarran, czar of the power Senate Judiciary committee, dropped his Senate duties cold gone out to Nevada to mend snarled political fences. In so doing, he has left the office Department without a vote and rudderless, since the new attorney general, Jim McGraw, cannot be confirmed until McCarran comes back to Washington next month. Actually, the clary committee could proceed act without McCarran, but in every member of the committee would risk the wrath of the vindictive Senators on Capitol Hill. Vindictiveness is one reason McCarran has suddenly scooped back to Reno. For the Democratic czar Nevada has suddenly found that his vindictiveness has got him into trouble—namely, into a million-dollar suit for restraint trade. Last month, McCarran got the long distance telephone to Vegas and gave an ultimatum gambling friends to yank their vertising out the Las Vegas Sun. Reason was the Sun's port of a young Democratic candidate for the Senate, Tom McGraw, who has dared challenge McCarran and his former law partner, Alan Bible, also aspiring to the Senate. Following McCarran's phone call, the gamblers, hotels, bars restaurants did yank their advice out of the Sun. But Hugh Greenspun, publisher of the S Inflation on the farm... Farmers are taking in more money—and making less. Take 1941, for example. Agricultural income rose to a new high of $32.8 billion—$2.6 billion over the 1948 record. But farm production costs last year increased $3.5 billion. Besides that, the farmer, like everyone else, got stuck with higher income taxes. These facts were highlighted recently by Jesse Tapp, Bank of America agricultural expert, in a talk at the Pacific Northwest Conference on Banking. Tapp predicted, however, that farmers will meet the adverse trend through intensive use of methods developed through scientific research which will result in greater production per man hour. Factors favoring the farmer, he said, are the upsurge in population (well beyond what was anticipated a few years ago) and the higher per capita consumption of food. These have kept farm demand high although there has been a softening market for many farm products. The banker pointed out that farm price supports have but a limited significance under present conditions and that the law of supply and demand is still of paramount importance. This means that a high level of employment is far more important to agriculture than any price support scheme could be. In brief, it is clear that although the farmer is often pictured as "sitting on top of the world," the fact is he has many "down-to-earth" problems. And it takes a lot of hard digging to solve them. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheims Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago April 1877 Governor Stanford has announced that the Southern Pacific railroad managers have made arrangements to build one hundred and forty miles of road across the Colorado into Arizona, before the next regular session of Congress. The company is empowered to do this under the general law passed at the last session of that body. 50 Years Ago April 1902 Mr. Dickel has crossed over from the other side, on his return from his trip to Westphalia, and on Saturday registered at a New York hotel. He writes that he will go to Philadelphia and will leave for the west on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Max Jacobson of Sun. Reason was the Sun's port of a young Democratic candidate for the Senate, Tom McCarran, who has dared challenge Carran and his former law partner, Alan Bible, also aspiring to the Senate. Following McCarran's phone call, the gamblers, hotels, bars restaurants did yank their advertising out of the Sun. But Greenspun, publisher of the Sentinel is not a man to take things down. Last week he fired back with a lawsuit against the Senate plus his secretary, Eva Adams plus various members of the Nevada gambling world. It's a copspiracy in restraint of trade which may be hard for McCarran to beat. V. for Vindictive This is not the first time McCarran has shown that his mid-term initial should be "V" for "vindictive." When Denver Dickerson, the Nevada Labor News daily criticize McCarran, the Senate also brought pressure on advisers. More recently, McCarran covered that Newbold Morris, the ex-crime buster, was a member of the "Committee on National Fairs," which has sought to improve the quality of the U.S. Senate. To this end, it contributed to Senator McCarran's opposition at his last election. According to Senate committees, this was why McCarran was so hostile toward Morris and refused to give him subpoena power for his corruption clean-up. Again, when columnists Joseph and Stewart Alsop dared criticize McCarran for his highhand handling of the internal security committee, McCarran started investigation to see whether or of their columns had violated the Espionage act. This is the man who now stymied the Justice Department going back to Nevada for a month letting the new attorney generals cool his heels waiting for confirmation. NOTE—Another thing that worries McCarran is Nevada opposition to his old law partner Ala Bible whom McCarran also aspiring to the Senate. Governor Stanford has announced that the Southern Pacific railroad managers have made arrangements to build one hundred and forty miles of road across the Colorado into Arizona, before the next regular session of Congress. The company is empowered to do this under the general law passed at the last session of that body. They care nothing for subsidy, and they will show Col. Scott a trick or two in railway building worth a decade of his dilly-dallying. Mr. R. B. Woodward, proprietor of Woodward's Gardens, San Francisco, was in town yesterday.

He writes that he will go to Philadelphia and will leave for the west on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Max Jacobson of Santa Ana are in Los Angeles to remain some days. Leonard Parker is lying at the point of death at his home on the east side. Some days ago he was stricken with apoplexy and has been unconscious since. He is aged 86. Principal Nichols of the Orange schools was in town yesterday. He is campaigning for the Republican nomination for County Superintendent of schools. 25 Years Ago April, 1927 Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer, entertained a number of their friends at a picnic at their beach home at Anaheim Landing on Saturday, when a delightful day was spent. The affair was in honor of Misses Lennie and Addie Saxton, well known former residents of Anaheim. Those present were the hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Dwyer, Miss Lennie Saxton, Miss Addie Saxton, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Miller, Mrs. Grimshaw, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wallop, Miss Alice Grimshaw, Mrs. J. J. Cole and Mrs. Henry Kuchel. Only prospect that appealed to them was Governor Adlai Stevenson. But even this thought ended gloomily, for they agreed that the governor of Illinois had two great handicaps: 1. his divorce; 2. the fact that he testified for Alger Hiss. These two factors, they believed, might prove political suicide. Actually, Stevenson's divorce was not of his choosing. His wife laid down an ultimatum LOOMING UP LARGE, SUH WASHINGTON — Senator Pat McCarran, czar of the powerful Judiciary committee, has ended his Senate duties cold and sent to Nevada to mend some political fences.

LYONS (For Hal Boyle) NEW YORK UP—When a guy takes his little woman-stepping to the music of a big-name band, she may look for the "name" but he's a sure bet to get round-eyed over the girl vocalist. This entirely natural phenomena is reason enough for a great percentage of the music boys to see to it that a bosomy, blonde little thing sits at the end of the front row of bandsmen. Her main function seems to be toe-tapping the beat, bobbing the head in a somewhat rhythmic pattern and throwing a smile at the boys occasionally. And a couple of times during the evening the bandstand beauty gets up and demonstrates a certain talent for vocalizing to boot. But Freddy Martin at the Hotel Roosevelt is one baton maestro who has reached the top without feeding his customers this formula. From his bandstand Martin peddles sweet music with artistic arrangements. In front of the band is Freddy and his sax—but no sex. He's never had a regular female vocalist in 20 years of band leading. "Too many headaches," is the way Freddy explains it. "When I was first starting, my friends in the business advised me to steer clear of girl singers and so far I've been doin' all right." But he knows some of the troubles that make other band leaders reach for the aspirin. "Sometimes when a band is playing a night club, a customer will wobble." OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER IN THE GAZETTE'S newsroom is a waste basket 24 diameter and three feet tall which daily is the receptacle material to fill a 64-page newspaper. But the reader would be a newspaper exceedingly dull. Newspapers are bombarded by "publicity" agencies seeking to get free advertising into umns. The stuff is thinly disguised as news, and editors sit the point where they don't even take the time to open the door. Anything in an envelope marked, in big red letters: NEWS RUSH, is promptly cast into the waste basket. Yesterday I asked our assiduous city editor, Len Kreidt, to let me look over an average day's run of this stuff before he gave it the wast basket routine.

DANSON HOLLYWOOD—I spent a very pleasant lunch period talking with the owners and creators of the popular kid's show "Jump Jump of Holiday House" the other day, and also enjoyed watching the actions of the little elf, "Jump Jump" himself. Truth of the matter, he kept trying to steal my ice cream, and kept moving all over the table—couldn't place the blame on the little guy, though, for he was being operated on strings by his master, Harry Hickox. Harry and Mary Hickox are really in love with their little characters that they created many years ago on a radio station in Albuquerque, N. M., as a Christmas feature. According to Mary, theirs is the only show of this kind on television that uses a combination of three media—hand puppets, string puppets and a live person. At this point they mentioned European puppets, and I inquired just what this meant. "European puppets are so named because they are animated," Harry said. "with a full movement of the mouth, eyes and body joints. This idea was originated in Europe, and thus the name. They are unlike a hand puppet," he continued. "where one person can use both hands and operate two characters. The European puppet, or marionette, must be operated by one person." A good many people wonder, after hearing the voice of the little elf just how the high, and twangy quality of voice is produced. This is a matter of mechanics in radio and television sound. First, Harry records all of the "Jump Jump" speeches on 16 inch discs, at a speed of 45 R.P.M. He is careful to allow the proper timing for the normal voice fills, that come from the other characters. The record is then played back at 79 R.P.M., which produces the peculiar, nasal, twangy effect, which is so familiar to all who have Viewed the show, which is syndicated on a coast-to-coast basis.

Nurserymen's Panel to Talk On Avocados The Avocado section, Orange County Farm Bureau, will hold its By GEORGE E. HART Getting back to the subject of water: Orange county water officials, having tossed a bombshell up the river sometime ago—the law suit to halt increased water pumping by the four cities of Riverside, San Bernardino, Redlands and Colton—have been waiting, with hands cupped to ears, for the explosion. But quiet continues to reign in the upriver cities, and only the pleased murmur of the agricultural interests up that way has been heard. The farmers up there, all signs indicate, were themselves worried by the cities' growing inroads upon the underground supply. The real objective, of course, was to smoke the four cities out of the local basin and drive them into the Metropolitan Water district, so they would use Colorado river water instead of the depleted local supply. There is no present intention of pushing the injunction suit if the four cities do something about joining MWD—and the cities know it because Orange county frankly told them so. But they also know that if Orange county should push the suit at any time—and win it—the four cities would have their water supply cut back abruptly to the amount they were using five years before the suit was filed. Since they have grown rapidly in these five years, a cut-back would leave them with about half enough water. SAN BERNARDINO county will be easier to push into MWD than Riverside county, judging from statements made to Orange county representatives some time ago by James L. King, attorney for the San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation district. In fact, said King, interests in both counties have been working nearly two years on the MWD proposal; inspired by the example of the Orange County Municipal on 10 men uses, at a speed of 45 R.P.M. He is careful to allow the proper timing for the normal voice fills, that come from the other characters.

King, attorney for the San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation district. In fact, said King, interests in both counties have been working nearly two years on the MWD proposal; inspired by the example of the Orange County Municipal Water district, which joined MWD last year. Mayors, city councils and rural interests have organized and incorporated. An engineering committee headed by Jerry Dibble and Les Hosgood of San Bernardino has started a study of the problem. Two obstacles were mentioned by King, who said that Riverside county takes more than half the water supply from San Bernardino basin, through five agencies; there fore, Riverside county should join with San Bernardino county in annexing to MWD, it is felt in San Bernardino. One obstacle is that some interests in Riverside and Corona have not yet been converted to the idea of joining MWD. Another is the provision in the MWD act which prevents annexations from crossing county lines. The two counties could not form one district. However, it is hoped to enact an amendment to the MWD act at the next session of the state legislature, which would remove the territorial restriction. Meanwhile, Orange county's injunction suit is a gentle nudge toward MWD, which could become a hard legal sock. There are nearly five million tribesmen in Uganda, Africa.
