THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BESLER LEONARD KREIDT NEIL STANLEY G. E. MELLEN RALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Everything helps... The State Department of Motor Vehicles, in issuing over five million drivers' licenses, tries to be mighty particular. Last year, its examiners flunked 266,339 applicants who couldn't pass the written or the behind-the-wheel test. A total of 2,271 licenses were suspended and 2,303 others were revoked from habitually reckless drivers. That doesn't stop the heavy accident toll on California highways but department officials are certain that it helps. Whether the department and the courts are tough enough on offenders is a question often debated in the legislature. Once a license is issued, the department sends examiners to interview drivers who keep on getting citations and to find out why. Deputy Director Tom Bright tells of one case which is certainly if these interviews do not alter a driver's erring ways, then the next step is license suspension or outright revocation: There are some people in California who — because of age or physical disability—can't get regular licenses. For them the department has a "limited" status. For example, about 20 old people a month qualify for licenses stamped "Model T Ford only." A driver blind in the left eye can get a license stamped "limited to operation of motor vehicle equipment with additional rear view mirror in advance of the driver's seat on the left side." And a one-legged citizen may get one stamped for use only in autos where both the brake and clutch are connected. Others allow driving only from surplus to demand. WASHINGTON — This county has obtained an alarming cable from the American Embassy in Moscow warning that Japanese business leaders are negotiating a new trade alliance with a munist Russia—because Japan are barred from the United States by high tariff. This is causing considerate worry at the State Department American diplomats have done their best to dissolve European and non-communist Asiatic countries to ban travel with Russia and China. Every time they make a move in this direction, Congress the Tariff Commission has tariffs higher.

It is stated that distance between San Francisco and Tucson will be reduced to five days travel when the railway is complete to Yuma. Under the old regime of steamer and stage it required nearly five weeks to complete the journey.* We learn that it is the intention of R. J.

Benefits of the February rains to the water strata is being reflected very noticeably in the levels of wells in different sections of the county, said W. W. Hoy, civil engineer, who is keeping a monthly record of wells in certain districts. The raise in levels ranges from 5 feet in Santa Ana wells to 14 feet in one of the Orange municipal wells. Comparing present conditions with the floods of 1916, Hoy pointed out that the increase in underground streams lasted only two years after 1916. Even if heavy rainfall continues for three or four seasons the draft from wells in the county would not be sufficient and the future salvation of this valley lies in the direction of the Colorado river.

WASHINGTON — This column obtained an alarming secret from the American Embassy Moscow warning that Japanese business leaders are negotiating new trade alliance with com­ist Russia—because Jap goods marred from the United States high tariff. This is causing considerable worry at the State Department. American diplomats have been urging their best to dissuade European and non-communist economic countries to ban trade in Russia and China. But every time they make a stab this direction, Congress or Tariff Commission hikesiffs higher. The secret cable from Moscow, by Hugh Cumming, minister-selor of the American Em­erger, tells how two prominent Chinese are in Moscow to ar­rage a trade deal with Russia using Japanese tuna fish and Chinese chinaware have been used from the United States.

Out here where the grass roots grow a little deeper the controversy is particularly keen, because a number of the top presidential candidates spring from these heart states of the nation. No political contest in a generation has stirred such interest in all classes, including the lady of the house as well as the man about the place. And in this down-to-earth country there is little of the wait-and-see attitude. The widow and the window-washer, the bum, the banker and the bakery truck driver — each seems already to have stoutly made up his mind how he's going to vote. And, of course, so have the farmers. Here is a sampling of the comments: A businessman—"I am for Taft and so are most businessmen I know. Sure, we made a lot of money under the Democrats. But under Taft maybe we will get to keep some of it." "A newspaper publisher—"People are tred of the same old faces, the young people in particular. That's why Eisenhower is so popular." A housewife—"I hope I get to vote for Governor Warren. Anybody who can raise as nice a family as he has must be a good man." A farmer — "We know where Taft stands. He's got more com- OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER JUST EXACTLY how is it possible for us An keep evenly balanced under the incessant torrent pressure advertising we must stoically endure? The woman watching the hair-do ads on TV feel that she looks like a frazzled old harpie. After likes to be reminded of it? The man is approached from the angle that he is stuling cigarettes not sanctioned by the American Medical AAnd after a few of those deadly serious lectures on the nay, the necessity—of the chlorophyll deodorant product that surely we must all smell like an old gymnasium and forthwith should rush out and gnaw a branch off the mylptus tree. The TV ad men make us all out to be as rancid a day-old butter-fried egg. But surely there is some exaggeration here. Why, once I passed up-wind of a pedestrian on West Center street veered away but a scant seven feet. ACCORDING TO the high-pressure ad writers, even twice daily you may "offend" those near you. You do right kind of soap. It dulls the hair, clogs the pores, aspects, can cause leprosy, gangrene and even an annoyance off of limbs. (Don't be too alarmed, however. Even if you haven’t hesitates to get up a good honest sweat at work (something which I mean to talk over with the boss)). I don’t know about-you-all, but my reactions to some ads borders on the violent. Do you remember several (before the golden age of TV) when we heard at least one day that radio jingle telling us not to put bananas in the maze? Perhaps YOU put up with it. I did something about it—the refrigerator with bananas. It made a terrific mess, had won some sort of a victory. Nobody was going to die where I could put my honestly-boughten bananas! Some TV programs, however, employ good, sane care and are free of this indictment. Take, for instance, the P league baseball telecast from Los Angeles. At least I bore us with those wearisome beer commercials. It is content, merely, to bore us with what it likes. A newspaper publisher—"People are tred of the same old faces, the young people in particular. That's why Eisenhower is so popular." A housewife—"I hope I get to vote for Governor Warren. Anybody who can raise as nice a family as he has must be a good man." A farmer — "We know where Taft stands. He's got more common sense than the rest of them put together." A bar owner—"That Kefauver has more appeal than the politicians realize. But last year I made $400 betting on the horses and this year I can't even place of his life when he elected to accept the Hornet head grid coaching job... Spalding in five years at Fullerton high compiled the kind of records Paul Brown used to run up at Massillon high in Ohio before he moved on to bigger things at Ohio State and with the Cleveland Browns. His (Spalding's) teams lost only two league games in that span, one to Anaheim by one touchdown last fall, a defeat that cost the Indians their fifth consecutive league title. But the FJC helm appears to be a dead end for such an obviously talented coach. It has been a coaches' graveyard for more years than school administrators there would care to admit, and Spalding seemed too smart a guy to get himself on the hot seat like that. He had admitted publicly when first offered the Hornet job that he would probably be a darned fool to accept it. We hope we're wrong, but we think you guessed it, Dick. "A bet because of him. Do you up" again by the app think I'm going to vote for Kefauver?" A veteran political reporter—"Don't let anyone kid you that Truman really wants to quit. He's acting more like a candidate than he ever did." THERE IS AN AIR of general prosperity in the midwest. Most everyone seems to be eating pretty high on the hog these days. People who used to complain about the weather now spend more time criticizing the income tax. "Even the winos are buying shots of whisky now," said a bar-keeper. And a business man added: "Yes, times are still pretty good. The trouble is men don't seem to want to put out much effort any more. Too many work a week, then take a week off to rest up."

TV-RADIOLOGIC Modernaires’ Song Blending Is Secret of Their Success By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—I guess at one time or another, I’ve heard every song the Modernaires have sung, from “Elmer’s Tune” to their recent revival of “The Dipsy Doo-dle.” Not only was I aware of a repertoire with few peers, but of a very special blending of voices in the group, easy indeed, on the ears. After dropping in on the gang during a rehearsal of Bob Crosby’s “Club 15,” and watching them go through their numbers, I said to myself, “There, is a handsome bunch of people.” And, it is with some awe that I report, “All that and brains, too.” For the Modernaires are an organization within an organization, whose singing, rather than the height of their activity, is a natural outgrowth of it. In other words, when they cut a record, do a broadcast or make a movie, most of the work’s been done. More than any other group I know, singing is their principal enjoyment—not only because they like it, but because it is the fruitful result of real labor. One of the unusual things about them is that they never farm out any material, from arrangements to special lyrics, to gags. As a matter of fact, quite often the song itself is an inside job. Tenor Hal Dickinson spends as much of his time locked up in his study with pencil and paper, as he does in front of an orchestra. He is the group’s “ideas man.” Bergen will star in “Autumn in New York” during the “Playhouse of Stars” presentation from KNXT (2) at 6...

One of the unusual things about them is that they never farm out any material, from arrangements to special lyrics, to gags. As a matter of fact, quite often the song itself is an inside job. Tenor Hal Dickinson spends as much of his time locked up in his study with pencil and paper, as he does in front of an orchestra. He is the group's "idea man," writes their special material musically and otherwise. In addition he's written at least a song a year. You remember, for instance, "The Whistler," "Jog Along," and "Jingle Bell Polka." Allan Copeland, the youngest of the group and a Bob Mitchell Choir Boy grad, carries the heaviest load when it comes to comedy routines, for it is he, that handles all of this. John Drake and Fran Scott take turns on the band arrangements. Between the two of them, they play about a dozen instruments. As for the distaff side of the Modernaires — beauteous Paula Kelly—she's got the best "outside" job of all. As Mrs. Hal Dickinson she has a sister trio all her own, three little girls, for whom she makes all kinds of arrangements pleasing to the kindergarten set. THE GAG BAG...

In one restaurant where I stopped the lady proprietor said: "You'd have drowned if you'd been sitting there a year ago. The water was over seven feet deep in here. But we cleaned out the place and opened up again as soon as we could. Now we're doing better than ever." The square dance revival that swept America a few years ago is still going strong. It has created a new sideline occupation — "square, dance calling." One bank employee makes $25 a night or more calling the intricate turns at community dances. The dances are particularly popular with wives. "My husband likes them," said one, "and they're the first thing to come along in years that would keep him on his feet after dark."
