THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hopf) My good friend Shorty King, everloving wife of Gas Company veteran Paul King, tells me that her definition of a camel is a horse put together by a committee. And if some of you wise acres have heard that before, it's probably because you served on the committee that did it. Seems like this country is getting to be more backwards all the time, doesn't it? For years I've heard about Serutan. That's nature's spelled backwards. Then they come up with Yenom. That's money spelled backwards. I'm even beginning to think they are running some of these television commercials backwards. They don't sound sensible to me. Well, Easter is over for another year and the rabbits can go back to their lettuce and leave the egg laying to the chickens. This one will really kill you. I haven't been the same since I heard it. It was towl to me by my little Myrna at Brick's Coffee Shop. Coffee ten cents per cup, plus conversation. Myrna asks, "What did the farmer say when he saw the cows coming over the hill?" I bit right away and said I didn't know what the farmer Congressman James Utt Commented On Government Financial Problems Congress is now in adjournment for the Easter recess. Very little legislation for this session has cleared both Houses, but a definite trend has been established, and that trend is toward more foreign and domestic programs for which the American taxpayer must foot the bill. $97 Million Extra The Airport Bill passed the House with $97 million more than the Administration requested. This $97 million was not needed, according to General Quersada, Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency. The legislation was not a simple authorization bill, but permits the agency to go directly to the U.S. Treasury for its money without coming to the Appropriations Committee of Congress. This is in violation of the Constitution which provides that Congress shall appropriate all monies drawn from the Treasury. Last year $9 billion was treated in this manner. If this trend keeps up, we can abolish the Appropriations Committee and let each bureau and department of government go directly to the Treasury for the money which it needs. The Airport Bill passed by a two-thirds vote, but if it is vetoed by the President, I believe the Congress will sustain the veto, and then we will have an opportunity to submit legislation in an amount requested by the Administration. Increasing Our Overdraft Last week Congress passed the first supplemental appropriation bill, providing supplemental funds which only $29 million has already been spent, and only $40 million of it has been committing a balance of over million. There is a request to additional $700 million for fund for the coming fiscal commencing July 1, and to the arguments on the you would think the roof wishing to fall in if we did not them an additional $100 million between now and July 1. Should be Called "Sour Land" Actually these loans are being short of grants, because be eligible for such a loan must have been turned down by a private international bank second by the Export-Import Bank, and third by the Bank. They are commonly called "soft loans," because they not be repaid unless we create other agency to loan them money with which to pay their ent loan. To simplify the operation Loan Fund, it is likely individual, who is broke and no credit, asking his friend is also broke, but has a little mainning credit, to borrow or credit and loan it to him. Is not a single congressman would make such a loan own credit, but he is happy it with your tax dollars.

Myrna asks, "What did the farmer say when he saw the cows coming over the hill?" I bit right away and said I didn't know what the farmer said. "He said," she replied, getting out of striking distance, "Here comes the cows." At a press conference this week a newsman asked Congressman James Utt if he had nepotism in his office. Jimmy readily admitted that Mrs. Utt, his wife, had been on the payroll at $200 per month, working from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. And if any other woman wants the job, she'll be glad to resign, he added. Now, let's see some Democrat make something of that! Dave Collins sounded real good when he sang with the Easter Choir at the Presbyterian Church Sunday. If he would use that Sunday voice on Monday noon at Rotary, when he leads the singing how wonderful it would be. Jimmy Morris said he is going to give a prize to the person who can guess the closest to the first time his time and temperature thermometer registers 100. I thought he was going to lose his money for sure Wednesday afternoon. If you think you know the answer, go down and register your guess with Jimmy. There's a lot of silver dollars involved in the prize. Ambulances Up for Regulation Talk City managers of Orange County cities will meet with the Orange County supervisors at the courthouse, in the supervisory room, Monday, April 6, at 1:30 p.m. for the purpose of discussing uniform regulations for the operation of ambulances throughout the county. The need for such regulation was pointed out by the 1958 Grand Jury report and the board of supervisors delegated Supervisor The Airport Bill passed by a two-thirds vote, but if it is veeted by the President, I believe the Congress will sustain the veto, and then we will have an opportunity to submit legislation in an amount requested by the Administration. Increasing Our Overdraft Last week Congress passed the first supplemental appropriation bill, providing supplemental funds for every department in government. The Appropriations Committee reduced the Administration's request on many items, most of which were restored, however, on the floor of the House, making a total supplemental appropriation of nearly $3 billion. Bear in mind that this money is for the purpose of completing the present fiscal year which ends June 30, and brings the deficit for this year up to $13 billion. Every cent of this $3 billion will have to be borrowed, as we are already overdrawn some $10 billion. One item which was partially restored was $100 million for the Development Loan Fund to foreign countries. Seven hundred million dollars has previously been appropriated to this fund, of Senator John A. Murdy Opines that A Legislator's Lot Is a Tough One (by Senator John A. Murdy, Jr.)* A ticklish task which will probably always confront your legislators is the job of balancing the equities between various elements in our economy who clash over a particular bill. Whatever the outcome may be, some of us are certain to have difficulty in explaining our votes to some people. Situations of this type have become increasingly common in recent sessions because particular economic interests are calling on us more frequently to pass laws favoring them in some way. At times this can be done without affecting any other group, but at others we have to be exceedingly careful to make sure that nothing adverse to anyone results. Generally, the several economic groups which might be affected by legislation relating to prices, business practices, sanitation, or credit and loan it to him. It is not a single congressman would make such a loan own credit, but he is happy it with your tax dollars.

Presently the pole county-wide controls in ambulances are those exercised by California Highway Patrol in regard to vehicles. FRANCES HARLE Frances G. Harle, 66, a native of Cleveland, Ohio, who came to southern California one and one-half years ago, died March 26 at a Los Angeles hospital after an extended illness. Her home was at 3221 Dalmead St.; Torrance and her son, Adolph H. Harle now resides at 1571 Beacon Street, Anaheim. She leaves another son, Homer C. Harle of Florida; a sister and three brothers in the East; five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. She was a charter member of the Parma, Ohio, Evangelical-United Brethren Church. Funeral services, under the direction of the Hilgenfeld Mortuary, were conducted at the grave side in Melrose Abbey Cemetery, Saturday with Rev. Alexander McCandless, pastor of the Anahein Evangelical-United Brethren Church officiating. Generally, the several economic groups which might be affected by legislation relating to prices, business practices, sanitation, or other factors of importance to them have legislative advocates who let us know the facts about any particular bill as they would affect their clients. Sometimes, however, a particular interest has no such representation. Yet its problems cannot be completely ignored. That is why we, as individual lawmakers, must carefully evaluate every measure which comes before us for action. It is one of our primary functions to assure that all viewpoints on the various measures are given adequate consideration in the enactment of new laws. Sometimes our task is complicated by the necessity of sifting the conflicting contentions about the purpose, or lack of purpose, of a particular measure. But to help us do this fairly we have the orderly process based upon our state Constitution, under which each measure is heard in committee in each house, before final action by the full house, and under which it takes favorable action by both houses before a measure can become law. Frequently, in an argument over proposed business legislation, As an example of what meant, there are two bills being would regulate the price paid the farmer for milk used in the manufacture of such products as cottage cheese and termilk. The arguments being advanced by supporters and members of the bills put the makers who must hear the committee almost squarely in middle, but nevertheless, a solution one way or the other may be reached. Proponents of the bills retain their passage is needed in the interest of public health. Those in opposition claim that the contrary the measures do not connection with keeping standards of public health that in reality, they would crease the cost of the milk products to consumers by several lion dollars annually. The issues involved in these measures seem fairly complicate. It is up to those of us who them in committee to deter the basis in fact of the continuing contentions. We must find if there is a public health really involved, or whether price increase to the constrain would be the only result of inging the bills. One side or other is sure to be displeased by the outcome. But that is why islatures existst, to make law the greatest general interest.

There is a request for an additional $700 million for this fund for the coming fiscal year, commencing July 1, and, to listen to the arguments on the floor, you would think the roof was going to fall in if we did not give them an additional $100 million between now and July 1. Should be Called "Sour Loans" Actually these loans are not short of grants, because to eligible for such a loan, it must have been turned down first by a private international banker, second by the Export-Import Bank, and third by the World Bank. They are commonly called soft loans," because they will be repaid unless we create an other agency to loan them the money with which to pay the president. To simplify the Development Loan Fund, it is like an individual, who is broke and has credit, asking his friend also broke, but has a little reeling credit, to borrow on this credit and loan it to him. There is not a single congressman who could make such a loan on his credit, but he is happy to do with your tax dollars.

GOP Worries Over Democrats' Tax-Spend Policy State G.O.P. Chairman George W. Milias, expressed deep concern over the "tax and spend, spend and tax" policy of the Democrat controlled legislatures in both Sacramento and Washington, and warned the public that daily living prices will continue to spiral if this pattern continues. As an example of "tossing economy to the winds," he pointed out that bills amounting to one half billion dollars more than Governor Brown's deficit financing program have already been presented to the legislators. In Washington the same situation prevails. The President of the United States has stated that one of the greatest dangers to the security of our nation is run away inflation. Regardless of this, the opposition has become so blindly partisan that they now oppose for the sake of opposing, concerning themselves with Frill bills rather than facing the hard rock economic problems of today. The cost of such partisanship will be borne by the consumer as the purchasing dollars but loss and Hospital Program Is Heard by Members of Anaheim B-PW Club "A Trip Through the Anaheim Memorial Hospital" through the media of slides and narration provided the entertainment for the Anaheim Business and Professional Women's Club when it met in the courtesy room of the Home Savings and Loan Association for its regular business meeting Wednesday evening of last week.

Snowden, of Memphis, national finance chairman of the committee. Admiral Ben Moreell, former chairman of Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., Pittsburgh, is the national chairman for Americans for Constitutional Action. On both the local and national level, it will be the function of the committee not only to promote the election or appointment of conservatives to public office and to positions of power in all segments of social structure but also to oppose the designation of so-called "liberals" to those posts, according to Geier. Activities of those participating in Americans for Constitutional Action will carry forth the principles of the national group on a decentralized basis at all levels, and an overall endeavor will be made to consolidate or at least coordinate all the conservative organizations of the country which subscribe to the aims and policy of ACA.

"These Phony Oaths" "The courts recently have been mocking these phony oaths off with monotonous regularity. And when I say such oaths are mean-agless, I mean just that.

"I think it is high time that all liberty loving Americans of whatever political faith join together in bringing reason back to the throne in this matter. We need to return, for the sakes of ourselves and our children, a truly meaningful and significant expression of loyalty.

Oath of Office Suggested By Utt For U.S. Justices Prior to the Easter recess of Congress, Congressman James B. Utt introduced for enactment by the Senate and House of Representatives a bill which would make it necessary for justices or judges of the United States to take an oath of office. Before Utt introduced the bill, no such oath was taken by them in the past, and if the bill is passed it will be applicable only with respect to justices and judges taking office after the date of enactment, Utt said. The bill states that each justice or judge of the United States would take the following oath or affirmation before performing the duties of his office, as follows: "I ____ solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; that I do equal right to the poor and the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as ____ So help me God."

Motorists with single accidents or violations will pay present rates and those with two or more will pay higher rates, according to the National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters and the National Automobile Underwriters Association, the nation's two major rating groups that developed the plan. Safe Driver Plan Called the Safe Driver Insurance Plan, it will affect 70% of California car owners and will be put into operation May 1. Present policyholders who qualify for the reduction will save ten million dollars the first year. The Safe Driver rate could apply to approximately half of the six million private passenger car owners in California. The plan, which will be used by over 200 insurance companies in this state, represents an entirely new concept by relating convictions for traffic violations to automobile insurance costs. For California Drivers Only As of now, the new plan will (Continued on Page 4)
