Millions of Americans respect Richard Nixon for his tremendous vote in the last presidential race. But what's happened to Nixon since election day? He has gone off the deep end in an outright endorsement of Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco by declaring he is "the greatest mayor any city ever had and he is destined for leadership in his party, in this state and in this nation." That's an outright endorsement of gubernatorial candidate Christopher. When will Nixon and others in this state wake up to the fact the San Francisco mayor served time in the Marin County jail for violation of the stabilization marketing plan by exacting secret rebates from Marin County farmers. Christopher was fined $2,500. Records show that the fine was never completely paid. cisco by declaring he is "the greatest mayor any city ever had and he is destined for leadership in his party, in this state and in this nation." That's an outright endorsement of gubernatorial candidate Christopher. When will Nixon and others in this state wake up to the fact the San Francisco mayor served time in the Marin County jail for violation of the stabilization marketing plan by exacting secret rebates from Marin County farmers. Christopher was fined $2,500. Records show that the fine was never completely paid. If Nixon is not in possession of the complete facts, he should be told by his political associates who are well aware of the San Francisco mayor's past record. Let the Bay City keep him. The rest of the state should not be burdened with him, in our opinion. FEDERAL AID CAN'T DELIVER The government's money can't buy excellence in learning. And federal aid to education would lead to control by Uncle Sam—distorting and devitalizing the educative process. The verbal punch at federal support of education was swung by a man who taught college students for 40 years. He's Dr. Harley L. Lutz, 78-year-old Professor Emeritus of Public Finance, Princeton University. Dr. Lutz offered this testimony to the State Committee on Labor and Public Welfare recently: "There is no crisis in education, present or impending, that would justify assumption by the Federal Government of responsibility for service completely outside the area of its truly national tasks." Dr. Lutz emphasized that in the past 10 years teacher supply has increased. salaries have been raised and classrooms have been built. His examples: "While pupil enrollment increased 44.4 per cent in the past decade the number of teachers rose in the same time by 51.9 per cent. The average salary of classroom tachers increased in the same period from $3,126 to $5,150 or 70 per cent while average earnings of manufacturing employees, for example, increased 53 per cent." "For the past five years an average of 67,360 classrooms have been constructed annually, while the estimated need for the next 10 years is only 60,000 per year." WHAT'S COMING? It is now proposed that along with billions of dollars we've been exporting to our friends (?) around the world, we are starting to ship them our own particular brand of Socialism. Letters to the Tax Paid Education To the Editor: I'm running, weakly, for Fullerton Union High School and Junior College Board, but this is not a political letter. The job takes a lot of time and responsibility and, frankly, I'd rather not have it. (The voters will undoubtedly take care of that.) But I believe strongly that, in this time of massive inflation and soaring taxes, that a man who insists on hollering about it either has to offer to do something about tax costs or shut up, and darned if I'll shut up. So if any of my opponents want to adopt these views, I'll achieve my aim and they can have the glories of putting them to work. INCOME—Before we talk about cutting costs, why do we have tax-paid education? Two reasons are generally given: 1. Public policy is that we need a well-educated and informed citizenry. 2. The educational burden comes on the family when its other loads are highest, income least and reserves nil. Without tax help, we would not achieve No. 1. But these points become distorted. The educators, with empires at stake, say, "Free education is good. Therefore we need more of it: Who isn't getting it? Why, the adults!" and from there we take off on a brutally expensive and endless boost in spending without justification. To be sure they keep Adult Education, the teachers' union has put it into State law. But law can be changed, and a Board member who wants to For the past five years an average of 67,360 classrooms have been constructed annually, while the estimated need for the next 10 years is only 60,000 per year. WHAT'S COMING? It is now proposed that along with billions of dollars we've been exporting to our friends (?) around the world, we are starting to ship them our own particular brand of Socialism. We quote President Kennedy in announcing an appointment to the Tennessee Valley Authority board. He called on that great Yard Stick to "study ways in which the lessons learned in the Tennessee Valley may be exported abroad." What lessons? How to construct projects at taxpayers' expense? How to operate tax-free projects? How to force citizens in other areas to pay part of the electric bills of one particular area? If we are to export ideas on the production of electric energy, why not tell other nations that investor-owned taxpaying corporations produce approximately 30 percent of this nation's electricity. Ebell Hears Charm Program Presenting a program on charm and personal development in the Anaheim Ebell Clubhouse this week was Lucille Kelly, noted fashion coordinator and charm school advisor. Another feature during the meeting was the introduction of Ray Link representing the M. E. Beebe Insurance Co., who talked on "Insurance Problems of Today." Auuto Show Orange County high school car craftsmen are being invited to enter their special adaptations in the third annual Santa Ana College Car Show May 5-6, sponsored by the SAC chapter of Future Automotive Technicians of America. President Pete Corti said the high school cars will be entered in competition with entries by college students in an effort to stimulate and reward interest in automotive engines, body styling and mechanical skills. Our school administrators point out that if we lose these people, we lose a lot of ADA income from the State. What kind of compartmented mind thinks that is a loss, that we don't really pay for it out of another pocket? The real fear is loss of more schools and teaching income.

Fullerton. Doesn’t Like Birch To the Editor: I understand there are members of the John Birch Society running as candidates for the various school boards in coming elections all over Orange County. We as citizens should be informed about this controversial organization. I have read many magazine and newspaper articles and editorials but have found the best sourch of information in their handbook called the “Blue Book.” It can be obtained by sending $2 to John Birch Society, Belmont 78, Mass. It sheds much light on the present unrest and distrust in the area. I for one do not want members of this totalitarian group on the school boards. MRS. ANN THOMAS Anaheim. Utt Praises Birch Last week was Easter Recess, and Congress was not in session. We had previously been informed that there would be no Easter Recess, so I made no plans to go home, which was a good thing, as it gave me an opportunity to catch up with some of the case work that had been demanding my personal attention. Easter week is always interesting in Washington. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom and hundreds of busloads of school children visit the Capitol every day. I believe this is the heaviest tourist week we have ever witnessed. Mary Ann Wilson, daughter of Congressman Bob Wilson of San Diego, was chosen Cherry Blossom Princess to represent California, and several social functions have been held in her honor. She is a most charming Princess. Correspondence continues to flood into the office, averaging about 300 communications per day. This is a terrific grassroots interest in pending federal legislation. I receive the usual amount of critical correspondence, generally based on my opposition to legislation leading to a welfare state or to a more powerful bureaucratic control over the lives and freedom of American citizens. I can only remind my readers that I took the same position under the previous Administration when I felt that we ican public or from retained earnings after taxes and dividends. There is no job too large for private industry to undertake. Even as large as TVA is, with a billion and a half investment over a period of 25 years, it is only about half the amount that American Tel. and Tel. is investing in expanded equipment in one year.

UtT Praises Birch To the Editor: With regard to an investigation of the John Birch Society by the House Committee on Un-American Activities: There is some question as to whether the John Birch operations fall within the purview of the Un-American Activities Committee. Preliminary investigations are being made to determine this question. There is no doubt in my mind but what the members are a group of fine, patriotic Americans, and my only reservation has been the authoritarian control a single man holds over such a large group. I have always urged my friends who are members of the society to insist on local authority. I hope their work will not be destroyed because of the current attack. I think the local members will need all the encouragement we can give them to survive this attack which I have felt for a long time was coming. With best personal regards, I am Cordially yours, JAMES B. UTT Member of Congress I receive the usual amount of critical correspondence, generally based on my opposition to legislation leading to a welfare state or to a more powerful bureaucratic control over the lives and freedom of American citizens. I can only remind my readers that I took the same position under the previous Administration when I felt that we were departing from the limitations set forth on the federal government by the Constitution. Most people do not realize how terrible it would be to live under a government of men rather than under a government of laws set up for the protection of those people who do not always agree with the majority. Employment has picked up slightly on a seasonal basis. If we are to provide five or six million jobs for those unemployed and others coming into the labor market, we must pass long-term legislation providing realistic depreciation for industrial equipment instead of talking about punitive legislation against business. Private industry is providing 66 million jobs to the American people. Why should business be the whipping boy of the politicians? Under modern industrialization, it takes a minimum of $15,000 capital to provide a $6,000 a year job for a skilled workman. This capital must come from invested savings of the Amer- YOUR LEGISLATOR AT WORK SEN. JOHN A. MURDY, JR. State Senator Orange County has had its share of bills introduced at this session of the state legislature. In all, I count 20 bills directly affecting the county as introduced or sponsored by the two assemblymen, Bruce Sumner and Dick Hanna, and myself in the Senate. And there are several others we have authored or co-authored, many of which have an indirect bearing on Orange County or are important to the state as a whole. And they cover just about any field you could suggest. From the looks of things, the legislature will hit the predicted mark of 6000 pieces of legislation. We're fast approaching the 4000 mark alone, excluding the resolutions and constitutional amendments. Governor Edmund G. Brown, I understand, will be in Orange County May 6 to help Garden Grove celebrate its annual Strawberry Festival. The water program isn't settled yet. Northern legislators are making a last-ditch stand against it but we hope to win their confidence by pointing out the positive advantages of a statewide plan which will benefit the entire state. STATE Income TAX Question BOX QUESTION: May I pay my State personal income tax in installments? ANSWER: Yes. State Controller Alan Cranston, chairman of the Franchise Tax Board, says you may pay your tax in three installments if it is more than $50 and you meet the following terms: First installment — $50 or one-third of the total tax due, whichever is the larger amount. This payment is due with your return on or before the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of your taxable year. Second Installment — One-half of the balance of the tax remaining unpaid. This payment is due on or before the 15th day of the eighth month following the close of your taxable year. Third installment — Balance of tax remaining unpaid. This payment is due on or before the 15th day of the 12th month following the close of your taxable year. to supply the school students with textbooks if bought from The water program isn't settled yet. Northern legislators are making a last-ditch stand against it but we hope to win their confidence by pointing out the positive advantages of a statewide plan which will benefit the entire state. The Senate Education Committee, of which I am a member, is currently doing its own bit of delving into the book burning incident. Much of the material now being discussed has already been before you through the press and my own column. But the surplus textbook problem has not been solved yet. For instance, there still will be a 900,000 surplus of books on hand next year under current procedures. They won't burn the surplus, that much is for sure, but the legislature must determine what is to be done with the surplus and what can be done to cut it down to a minimum in the future. The State is spending about $10 million a year on books. Using leased plates from publishers and printing the books in the State printing plant saves about one-third of what it would actually cost a year. To supply the school students with textbooks if bought from other sources. The surplus problem involves over printing, a 37- to 39-cent royalty per book, constitutional restrictions against making the surplus books a gift, and certain restrictive clauses in the contract for printing and distribution between the State and private publishing companies. For instance, some of the contracts pay royalties anytime the book is used, even after the adoption period has expired. In some cases it became cheaper to store or dispose of the books than pay the royalty. But despite these perplexing problems, the legislature and its key advisors have sternly denounced the Department of Education for not having brought the matter to the attention of the legislature so that some solution could have been rendered much in advance of the book burning episode.
