THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) The little purple people eaters must have been busy over the weekend. Only 18,000 fans turned out to see the Dodgers take a 9-3 beating by the Cubs Tuesday night. Two weeks ago 45,000 fans saw them get beat by another team. Got a new committee formed now. It is called, "Citizens Committee for Political Integrity." Funny thing about the committee. It keeps pointing its finger at Republican candidates all the time. One of the biggest and best public relations job the Los Angeles Metropolitan Bus Company could do would be to put some kind of perfume in their fuel tanks. Those big green busses have the most nauseating exhaust of anything on the road, diesels, included. The new three-cent postal cards are printed in purple ink. Do you suppose that has any connection with the purple people eaters? It used to be that calendars were made to tell the dates of the BY RALPH ROBEY Is More Inflation Ahead? More and more persons are becoming justifiably concerned and worried over the possibility that we are entering another phase of inflation. Such a statement raises the question, Why use the term "another phase of inflation?" Why not merely "continuing inflation"? The consumer price index reached a new high for twentieth advancement in 22 months, the other two months merely held steady. Wholesale prices have shown diverse trends: Farm products recently have declined; processed foods have continued a sharp increase; industrial prices have a whole, have shown a slight decrease. The net result is the index held below the peak of last March. Taking the past two or three years as a unit, prices are up, no matter which broad index is used as a measure. It has been generally believed, however, that we are very close to the peak, and in the case of the consumer price index it has been thought that we would get a slight decline in coming months. It is on that basis a conclusion was reached that recent inflationary trend was coming to an end. Now conclusion is being questioned, and there is growing fear other upsurge is ahead. Among the reasons for this fear are the following The new three-cent postal cards are printed in purple ink. Do you suppose that has any connection with the purple people eaters? It used to be that calendars were made to tell the dates of the month and year. Nowadays the most important thing on next month's calendar sheet is a new bathing beauty. "Conscience doesn't keep you from doing anything." The Oakland Tribune comments, "It just keeps you from enjoying it." Funny thing about these coffee breaks. Have you noticed how slowly and leisurely some men stroll to the restaurants for a coffee break yet how madly they dash to the refrigerator for a can of beer while a TV commercial is on! Here's one from Homer D. King's column in The Hemet News: "One of the gin rummy players down at the Elks club has a boy problem child, and the psychiatrist said he must be humored. "I'll get you anything you want to eat," said the father. The child thought for a moment: "I want an earthworm." In the backyard the father found one and set it before Junior. "I want it cooked," Junior objected. The father boiled it. The child looked at it and said, "You eat half, and I'll eat the other half." The long-suffering father managed to choke down half the earthworm. Suddenly Junior let out a wild howl: "You ate my half." Here is one that may have a moral, submitted by one of our readers: A Sunday-school teacher was examining her pupils after a series of lessons on God's omnipotence. She asked, "Is there anything God can't do?" There was silence. Finally, one lad held up his hand. The teacher, disappointed that the lesson's very close to the peak, and in the case of the consumer price index it has been thought that we would get a slight decline in coming months. It is on that basis a conclusion was reached that recent inflationary trend was coming to an end. Now conclusion is being questioned, and there is growing fear other upsurge is ahead. Among the reasons for this fear are the following: 1. Congress has made it abundantly clear it is interested in neither government economy nor a balanced budget. One spending bill after another gets passed, and one after another providing tax relief for special groups gets passed. Some of these have the approval of the Administration. Some do not. From the standpoint of total spending there is little or no basis for distinguishing between two. 2. As a result of the increased spending and lower revenues it is now officially estimated the deficit for this fiscal year will be about $12 billion. This will be the largest time deficit in history and, it is assumed, there will be no cuts for years hereafter. 3. Wages are continuing to climb. It still is too easy to make firm estimates on how much the 1958 increase will be in comparison with 1957. Present indications are that will be almost as large as last year. This means wages age will be increased more than the output per manhour, thereby resulting in higher costs of production. It was this discovery between wages and productivity which was primarily responsible for the price increases of the past couple of years, and it now appears we shall have more of the same kind of wage-price push. 4. The money supply recently has shown a rather sharp growth. For the past couple of years it had been held steady by the Federal Reserve System. With the recession it necessary for the Federal Reserve to reverse its policy an incentive to borrowing, and the result has been a spectacular increase in loans and investments. 5. Some prices already have been lifted, notably in metal field. Steel prices, which were held in spite of the wage increase, gave up the struggle recently and then were advances of about $4.50 a ton. Aluminum also raised prices, although the level is still below its high a few months ago. These inflationary forces are being brought to bear because the time the business curve is beginning to show upward. Here is one that may have a moral, submitted by one of our readers: A Sunday-school teacher was examining her pupils after a series of lessons on God's omnipotence. She asked, "Is there anything God can't do?" There was silence. Finally, one lad held up his hand. The teacher, disappointed that the lesson's point has been missed, asked resignedly, "Well, just what is it that God can't do?" "Well," replied the boy. "He can't please everybody." And another one from the same source: Trying to work up interest in the lesson, the Sunday-school teacher asked her class how Noah spent his time on the ark. Getting no response, she added, "Do you suppose he did a lot of fishing?" "What?" asked little Freddie. "With only two worms?" Learn About Tides In College Course To meet the community interest in the ocean, its habits and inhabitants, Orange Coast College is presenting a new course this fall called marine biology. Lloyd Smith, the instructor, will give students a survey of biological oceanography, include the tides, waves, salt rives, island life and the common plants and animals of the sea. Emphasis will be on the southern California coast. About 3,000,000 persons have fled from East to West Germany since World War II. We Should Do For Ourselves If each of us would do a little soul searching we would discover that each of us is somewhat to blame for burrowing Federal tax bills and costly red tape. Big government is big because we citizens have nailed looked to Washington to do things that we could and should do for ourselves. If we allow the government to "share" the cost of project in our town, we must then "share" the cost of projects in towns across the U.S. Inflated tax bills and Federal controls are the result 88 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1905 PUBLISHED EVERYTHING THURSDAY Congressman James B. Utt Explains Labor Union’s Control of Congress (By James B. Utt) On May 15 of this year I reported to you the voting record in the Senate on the amendments offered by Senator Knowland to give the union membership the right to have a secret ballot at least once every four years, to vote secretly on strikes, and other democratic processes to which the rank and file member should be entitled if he is to be free from union labor leader abuses. I said that Senator Lyndon Johnson had promised the Senate the opportunity to vote on a labor bill which would correct the abuses by labor leaders as disclosed by the McClellan committee. Recommendations Suggested This committee, after two years of investigation and an expenditure of more than half a million dollars, submitted a report containing recommendations for needed legislation. Senator McClellan, Democrat, of Arkansas, made this statement: "We think of human bondage in the United States as a pany which went into bankruptcy. Labor Controls Congress The Kennedy-Ives, bill however repeals many provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act, and provides that administrative personnel would now be subject to union organization. This personnel has always been exempt and has been the small core which, during a strike, has enabled at least the skeleton operation of public utilities and transportation which serves the hospitals and other public institutions. The bill came to the House on June 17, where it remained on the Speaker's desk for forty-one days. The union bosses were afraid that the House Committee would take out the above-referred-to provisions and insert some corrective measures. Therefore, in lieu of the Kennedy-Ives bill, the House rushed out a simple welfare fund reporting law, which will be the last labor legislation of this session. So with all of the evidence of racketeering before us, it is abundantly clear that the labor union bosses control the Recommendations Suggested This committee, after two years of investigation and an expenditure of more than half a million dollars, submitted a report containing recommendations for needed legislation. Senator McClellan, Democrat, of Arkansas, made this statement: "We think of human bondage in the United States as a thing of the distant past, ended nearly a century ago. The grim fact is that in recent years there has grown up among us a new form of slavery—insidious, semisecret and sinister. "Today's captives are those rank-and-file union members who have fallen in helpless thrall to crooks and gangsters disguised under the title of 'labor leaders' or 'employer representatives.' From my study of the evidence, I estimate that those now in bending must number more than one million. Some put the figure as high as four million—which happens to approximate the number of American slaves in 1860." Amendments Defeated The Kennedy-Ives bill was submitted to the Senate, and amendments were offered to carry out the recommendations of the McClellan committee. Under the direction of the labor union lobby which still occupies a room in the National Capitol, these amendments were defeated one by one, and the bill passed the Senate by an overwhelming majority. This measure provided for the accounting of welfare funds to the beneficiaries and the Department of Labor, and included not only the welfare funds administered by the unions, but all welfare funds. This, of course, will burden American industry with an untold amount of paper work. The McClellan investigation did not expose any defalcation of welfare funds by business-administered programs, with the exception of one com- Recommendations Suggested This committee, after two years of investigation and an expenditure of more than half a million dollars, submitted a report containing recommendations for needed legislation.

It should be remembered that these contributions, totaling over a million dollars, come from the dues and assessments of the working class and are used to concentrate an absolute power and authority in the hands of men like Walter Reuther and James Hoffa, whose dedicated intention is to destroy the American system of free enterprise and to 'Sovietize this country.

Brown to debate campaign issues with U.S. Sen. William F. Knowland displeases California veterans, Harry Foster, of San Diego, Knowland's newly-appointed state veterans campaign chairman, said to day. Foster's appointment as head of the California Veterans Committee for Knowland for Governor was announced today by the senator through his southern and northern California headquarters. Foster said William A. White, of San Francisco, will be his vice chairman. Both Foster and White are past California commanders of the American Legion. "Veterans of California feel they are entitled to hear in open debate from Brown a full discussion of issues vital to their welfare," Foster said. Brown Refuses Challenge Knowland in a talk last Sunday at the Republican State Central Committee meeting at Sacramento challenged Brown to a series of debates on campaign issues. Brown promptly refused. "Many of California's 3,000,000 veterans conclude a candidate lacks knowledge of the state's important problems when he refuses to debate issues," Foster declared. "They suspect that such a candidate fears to disclose his ignorance of state problems by engaging in open debate." Foster announced his committee will inform the voters of California that Knowland is a World War II army veteran, with servant stock at a ratio of 3.5 shares of Firstamerica for each share of the approximately 1,550,000 shares of California Bank stock outstanding. A memorandum of intent entered into between Firstamerica Corporation and the directors of the California Bank contemplates that, as a part of the plan of acquisition, and subject to the approval of the California superintendent of banks and other regulatory agencies, First Western Bank and Trust Company, Firstamerica's California banking subsidiary, would be merged into or consolidated with California Bank. It is also contemplated that upon completion of the acquisition and merger, Frank L. King would become chief executive officer of both Firstamerica and the combined bank and that the head office of both organizations would be in Los Angeles. Statewide Banking Services California Bank, a state bank, is a member of the Federal Reserve System, and operates 63 branch offices in Los Angeles and vicinity. First Western Bank and Trust Company, a state bank with headquarters at San Francisco, is the only California subsidiary of Firstamerica Corporation. First Western Bank and Trust Company maintains 99 branch offices in California, most of which are in the central and northern portions of the state. King commented that he believed "it would be advantageous to the public and the banks to combine the businesses of the two banks into one larger bank. The two banks are of reasonably comparable size. In the main, they serve different areas of the state and are complementary to each other. Together they would offer statewide banking service."
