A areat privilege ... An official of a retailers' association recently had this to say about merchandising: "Stores are as different from each other as people are. Each store has its own personality which reflects its method of doing business. All of them are united, however, in one principle. They consider themselves not as distributors for manufacturers or as manufacturers' agents. They are purchasing agents for the consumers. As such, they find out what their bosses, the customers, want to own. They locate this merchandise. They offer it for sale." Here we have a situation which is typical of a free competitive economy. If manufacturers produce and stores stock something which people don't customer becomes dissatisfied, there's always a manufacturer who makes what he does want and a store which sells it. And that's where his business goes. In a socialized or government-controlled economy the case is utterly different. The government decides what shall be produced, in what quantity and quality, and at what price it will be sold. If the consumer doesn't happen to like the article, it's his tough luck. He has to take it or go without—for no one is allowed to make or sell a competitive product. This totalitarian method of controlling consumption has reached its full flowering in Russia, where the people's living standards are incredibly low as compared with ours. Yes, in this country the cus- WASHINGTON — The cables which once roped off the sidewalk in front of Blair Hare are now removed; so also the gate guardhouses once occupied by the White House police. They were placed where mediately after two Puerto Rican fanatics ran down Pennsylvania ave., their guns blasting, mowing down two guards in an insane, abortive attempt on the life of the president. Today people can walk along the sidewalk of Pennsylvania ave., without going out in the street to avoid the barriers. But the root reason for the attack on the president's life has not been removed. In fact, security measures protect his life and that of the governor of Puerto Rico, Lorenzo Marin, were tightened last week because the new constitution of Puerto Rico is now up for debate in Congress. Governor Munoz Marin, who was attacked in San Juan simultaneously with the attack on Truman, is now under special guard in Washington, and the name of the host where he is stopping is kept secret. The attempts on the lives of the governor and the presidents were made by Puerto Rican fanatics who demanded that Puerto Rico be completely independent of the United States. They bitterly opposed the new constitution which sets up a model, middle-of-the-road partnership with the USA, manufacturers' agents. They are purchasing agents for the consumers. As such, they find out what their bosses, the customers, want to own. They locate this merchandise. They offer it for sale." Here we have a situation which is typical of a free competitive economy. If manufacturers produce and stores stock something which people don't want, the goods tarnish on the shelves and must be sold at a loss or not at all. For, when the consumer doesn't happen to like the article, it's his tough luck. He has to take it or go without—for no one is allowed to make or sell a competitive product. This totalitarian method of controlling consumption has reached its full flowering in Russia, where the people's living standards are incredibly low as compared with ours. Yes, in this country the customer is boss. And our economic system is responsible for that fact. Who knows what everybody wants...? Resolutions have been introduced in Congress calling for investigations of radio and television programs, books, magazines and comic books. The purpose of the investigations would be to eliminate "immoral, obscene or otherwise offensive matter" along with publications and programs that place "improper emphasis on crime, violence and corruption." The purpose is desirable, but it won't be easy to achieve. In certain extreme cases there would be little argument as to the unfairness of matter for publication or broadcasting in any form. But where to draw the line will be the problem. Some people would ban everything from the public which does not measure up to their own excessively rigid standards. Others would consider anything but out-and-out vulgarity as acceptable. The real censorship must come from the public itself. It is the public alone which can effectively put an end to the "immoral, obscene or otherwise offensive matter," whether in printed form or on the airways. Maybe the investigations will at least help to arouse the public to this fact—and the need for action. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gustie By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago May 1877 We learn that the blackbirds are very destructive in Los Nietos and give farmers as much trouble as if they were grasshoppers. One man had to replant his corn patch, the blackbirds having totally destroyed that first planted. There are myriads of swallows on the plains near town, more than have ever been seen before. Mr. Tyomery Queen's circus will visit Los Angeles soon and the consumer doesn't happen to like the article, it's his tough luck. He has to take it or go without—for no one is allowed to make or sell a competitive product. This totalitarian method of controlling consumption has reached its full flowering in Russia, where the people's living standards are incredibly low as compared with ours. Yes, in this country the customer is boss. And our economic system is responsible for that fact. The attempts on the lives of the governor and the president were made by Puerto Rican fanatics who demanded that Puerto Rico be completely independent of the United States. They bitterly opposed the new constitution which sets up a model, middle-of-the-road partnership with the USA, and merely continuing Yankee rule. Simultaneously, from another group, the New Puerto Rican constitution has been under fire. This group, not fanatical in its physical sense, but almost fanatic in its desire to preserve the status quo, is in the House Representatives. After a bill was passed by both Houses of Congress permitting Puerto Rico to adopt a new constitution, and after the careful drafted constitution was overwhelmingly adopted by a plebiscite of the Puerto Rican people it was suddenly blocked in the House last week by GOP Congressman Charley Halleck of Indiana. TWO CADILLAC CHARLEY—Halleck, frequently called "Two Cadillac Charley," because he came to Washington a man of modest means and suddenly blossomed out with two Cadillacs was rather vague about reason for opposing the Puerto Rican constitution. He didn't like the fact that it prohibited child labor though the United States does too; and he also objected to Section 20 which sets forth the Puerto Rican goal of a job for every man. Other Republicans, equally conservative, disagreed with Halleck. Congressman "Doc" Miller of Nebraska, a strong MacArthur booster and a student of the Puerto Rican constitution, pointed out that it would not have permitted seizure of the steel mills or taking over newspapers. "Do you object to the fact that it would prevent the government from seizing the steel mills?" asked Congressman Miller. "Do you..." There are myriads of swallows on the plains near town, more than have ever been seen before. Mr. Tyomery Queen's circus will visit Los Angeles soon and will exhibit in Anaheim immediately thereafter. The Anaheim brass band complimented Messrs. Reiser, Laugenberger and Dr. Hardin with a serenade on Monday night. Rabbits are numerous in the swamp and are making such havoc among the pumpkins. An adjourned meeting of Trustees was held in the Town hall yesterday. Section 4 of ordinance IX was amended to read: Every circus company for each performance shall pay ten dollars and every acrobatic company for each performance shall pay $5. The following was added to section 7 of Ordinance XIII: It shall be unlawful for a person to take picket or otherwise fasten any animal so that while so fastened it may cross or obstruct the driving way of any street or road. Every person so offending shall be fined not to exceed $20. Special instructions were given to the marshal respecting the issuance of liquor licenses. It was moved and seconded that the Water company be allowed the use of the Town hall for their meetings. C. D. Rust and family, Mrs. W. J. Fay and her daughter, Mrs. Henry Strodthoff, have gone to Elsinore Hot Springs for a week's sojourn. Mr. Korn and daughter, Miss Marie Horttsman leave on Tuesday on a six months trip to Germany. Mr. Korn has not visited there since 1862. He came to America in 1850. The ship on which he sought to procure passage at Hamburg sailed and was never heard from again. The many friends of himself and daughter wish them a pleasant voyage and a safe return. Billy Ahlborn and Fritz Martin have become amateur impresarios and will tomorrow evening make their fortune. They have booked William H. Wright for an entertainment to be given at the opera house Friday evening. Wright is an impersonator of genius and his entertainments are most enjoyable. Seats are for sale at McCollums. 25 Years Ago May 1927 A small cyclone which uprooted a row of trees, removed roofs from barns and other outbuildings and caused slight damage to the Hacienda Country Club, visited La Habra Heights section, just over the Orange county line in Los Angeles county early Monday afternoon. The dining room of a real estate company at the heights was taken away by the twister, which disappeared as quickly as it came. No one was hurt. Halleck, Congressman "Doc" Miller of Nebraska, a strong MacArthur booster and a student of the Puerto Rican constitution, pointed out that it would not have permitted seizure of the steel mills or taking over newspapers. "Do you object to the fact that it would prevent the government from seizing the steel mills?" asked Congressman Miller. "Do you object to this ban against wire-tapping?" Halleck had no convincing answer. His friend, Congressman Fred Crawford of Michigan, another conservative Republican, also championed the constitution, but the gentleman from Indiana continued to object, not only to the constitution, but even to permitting a vote on it. Halleck waned to bottle the bill up in the Rules committee, thus stifling free discussion. Several Dixiecrats supported him. Thus, while the extreme radicals of Puerto Rico are ready to assassinate the president and Governor Munoz Marin if the constitution is adopted, the extreme reactionaries in Congress are ready to assassinate the constitution. America was called Vineland by the Vikings and others because of the abundance of wild grapevines in many areas. The fangs of many poisonous snakes are folded so that they lie parallel with the roof of the mouth when not in use. Many poisonous snakes do not lay eggs but produce living young. THAT AWFUL FEELING OF BEING FOLLOWED POSSIBILITY OF A CONVENTION DEADLOCK Hal Boyle NEW YORK (P) — The oddity almanac: Remember the old Dagmar? ... Shiny sides...great on curves...and carried a front and rear bumper... The Dagmar (1922-1927) was just one of 2,500 kinds of automobiles made in America since the turn of the century...only 21 survive today in this fiercely competitive industry... Studebaker, which started making covered wagons 100 years ago, claims to be the oldest firm still in existence... but dad or grandad will recall going courting in cars bearing such vanished trade names as Mercer, Rickenbacker, Oldfield, Maxwell, Veile and Stutz Bearcat. SPEAKING of covered wagons, did you know that some 1,700,000 Americans now live in trailer coaches? ... In 12 years the industry's annual sales rose from $10,000,000 to $248,000,000 ... The length of the standard trailer has increased from 15 feet to 30, and you can buy 'em up to 45 feet ... These have four rooms and stall showers ... Until the government entered the market, 68 per cent of the trailers were bought by defense workrs, 25 percent by servicemen. Suggested industry theme song: "Oh, the Sun Shines Bright ... On My Old Kentucky Trailer." GOVERNMENT ECONOMY note: Industrialist Fred A. Wirt says the federal debt of about 260 billion dollars means that "every infant born in the U.S. assumes, there isn't much else to the story. But Leone and Thesz didn't arrive together in Los Angeles on any bus. MORE ABOUT ... Gregg (Continued from Page 2) 1950. Today Manager Mel Ott, the old New York Giant star and skipper, is enthusiastic. "Gregg is doing a terrific job," he said. "His curve ball is working swell and he has plenty of speed. This year, for the first time, he is throwing a slider and he has learned to control it. "Hal always had good stuff. The back alment really got him down. It doesn't bother him now. He has the enthusiasm of a kid just breaking in. His competitive spirit is great. He is ambitious to get back to the big league. I think he will make it." Gregg has appeared in 13 games, pitching 67 innings, allowing 31 bases on balls, and striking out 34. He started in organized ball in 1941 with Brooklyn's Santa Barbara farm club in the California League. MORE ABOUT ... Grunt and Groan (Continued from Page 2) was going to be a real shooting match.

Wirt says the federal debt of about 260 billion dollars means that "every infant born in the U.S. assumes, the second he or she draws breath, a debt of $1,700". Maybe that explains why the first thing babies do in this world is to break out crying... Who wants a mortgage on his diaper at birth? FACT-IS-STRANGER-than-fiction department: The Columbia Gazeteer says only 30 Russian towns are named after Stalin to 36 for Sergel Kirov, A Soviet bigwig assassinated in 1934. Many of the coach dogs you see in firehouses never hear the firebell... The Dalmation breed has a high percentage of deafness. Tulips, now commonplace, were worth more than their weight in gold after they were introduced into Holland from Turkey in 1565... Such a mania for them swept Europe that a single tulip bulb once sold for a load of grain, four oxen, 12 sheep, five pigs, two tubs of butter, 1,000 pounds of cheese, four barrels of beer, two hogsheads of wine, a suit of clothes, and silver drinking cup. After a drop in value like that you'd think a tulip would be ashamed to hold its head up today. CHILDREN-AND-small-animal department: A report has just reached us from Australia of the arrest of a kangaroo for shoplifting... Its owner had trained it to steal items and hide them in match.

Detectives seized the kangaroo when an alarm clock it had secreted on its person unexpectedly began to ring... The surprised animal immediately made a full confession and blamed the whole thing on its owner. Editor's Note: This newspaper is unable to vouch for all of the strange facts in Boyle's Almanac, and particularly this one. THE ALMANAC'S editorial: The Tax Foundation says that the average American today is paying 32 cents out of every dollar for direct or hidden taxes... This is true of everybody except hermits in the woods... Well, we say, why should hermits be a privileged class?... When is the government going to hunt down these life-dodgers, bring them to town and make them pay their fair share of the load for civilization, whether they want it or not?... It's about time, say we. THE ALMANAC'S monthly sports forecasts: The New York Giants will soon go into a sharp slump, and when they emerge Manager Leo Durocher's hair will be thinner than ever... At least three former world's champion boxers will sadly opine that fighters aren't what they were in the good old days... Well, who is?
