EDITORIAL The Record and 'Judge' Saund Representative D. S. "Judge" Saund of Riverside and Imperial Counties has a penchant for attacking our free press and this week he has put his foot in his mouth again. Much of what he said is misleading or false. Before a partisan meeting of the United Federation of Post Office clerks last weekend he apologized away Congress' voting itself virtually unlimited free franking privileges for propagandizing constituents. He claimed there was "nothing new" in the recent legislation enabling congressmen to saturate their districts with letters to every boxholder and "occupant," something an ordinary citizen has been unable to do. "Judge" Saund is pointing off in all directions waving banners and shouting imprecations against newspapers. His statement, for example, that the big free mailing he voted for, along with free envelopes, free addressing, and free delivery, is "our only way of getting our side to the people ... because if we're in the wrong party a newspaper won't tell what we're doing," is a lot of hogwash and a downright falsehood. The record and facts do not support him! "Judge" Saund speaks piously about his belief in American ideals and American institutions. He repeatedly extolls his boyhood reading of Jefferson, Lincoln and Wilson. Apparently he didn't read his lessons well because all three "Judge" Saund does not, or by his insidious remarks he attempts to undermine the people's faith and confidence in that press. Recently the newspapers of this nation observed National Newspaper Week. Since the very first blows for liberty were struck, a free press has been in the front line of battle informing the people. Benjamin Franklin realized this when he set up as the first postmaster the second class mailing rates for newspapers and periodicals. This rate is admittedly lower than first class, but the post office has always been a service institution of the people. It is not the newspapers which have added to the tremendous deficits of the post office. Newspapers perform many postal functions in efforts to expedite handling of its mail, and for these services it ought to obtain a lower rate. Nor did "Judge" Saund point out that in the past ten years there have been a succession of increases in the second class rates. Newspapers have been the first to assist in obtaining reasonable second-class postal increases. However, it is also true that small weeklies and most dailies have been forced to increase their mail rates because of these increases. "Judge" Saund's remarks that the only way he can get "our side" to the people is a pretty silly statement on the side to the people . . . because if we're in the wrong party a newspaper won't tell what we're doing," is a lot of hogwash and a downright falsehood. The record and facts do not support him! "Judge" Saund speaks piously about his belief in American ideals and American institutions. He repeatedly extolls his boyhood reading of Jefferson, Lincoln and Wilson. Apparently he didn't read his lessons well because all three men believed in our free press regardless of whether that press supported them or not. This principle is confirmed in the first amendment to our Constitution. These men believed that a free press kept America free! Apparently "Judge" Saund's remarks that the only way he can get "our side" to the people is a pretty silly statement on the face of it. Whose side is Mr. Saund on? We always thought a Congressman represented his district and when it came to matters before the legislature it was not a matter of "our side" or "your side." It was the people's side.

Anaheim Comment Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court Marshall Haskell has good reason this week for his "red-face" he probably gets every time he now comes in contact with the District Attorney's Office. It all started like this: District Attorney Ken Williams, late 40-ish chief prosecutor of Orange County, was having coffee across the street from his office and around the corner from the jail. In comes this marshal from Anaheim. "You Ben Roach?," he asks Williams. "No I'm Cockroach and my brother is Marijuana Roach," Williams quips. The D.A. has always pictured himself as quite a humorist. "You better come with me. Finish your coffee and let's go," said the Marshall. "Ain't it bad enough I'm being arrested — I have to pay for my mathematics, and science. Free refreshments will be served in cafeteria at the conclusion. A REAL TASTE TREAT U.S.D.A. RED BAND SLICED BACON WASTE FREE RIB STEAKS A REAL TASTE TREAT U.S.D.A. RED BAND SLICED BACON 39 lb.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim Prices Effective November THURSDAY thru SUNDAY—Special WE GIVE ORANGE S FJC Student To Head Observance Bob Wagner, president of Fullerton Junior College Associated Students, will chair the Bill of Rights observance on FJC campus Dec. 9 through 16. Fe and the assistant faculty adviser, Knute Hanssten, social science instructor, attended the area meeting at which plans for coffee, too?" Williams asks. "I think you better," the marshal answers. With a deptyy sheriff and two secretaries from Williams' office looking on, the marshal makes Williams empty his pockets. The marshal then frisks the D.A., breaking out the handcuffs. At this point the intrepid D.A. decides the joke has gone far enough." Williams suggests that before hauling him in as the 30-year-old Roach, the marshal better look at his identification. Someone else pipes up at about the same time: "That's the district attorney you're shaking down." Well, the upshot is that Williams calls boss Marshal Haskel Kelly in Anaheim. He squares things to our "nameless hero" still has a job. All we can say is that it's nice to know the county law enforcement people are keeping "their mistakes" in the family. the observance were announced last week at the Biltmore Hotel. "Our observance will be planned by a committee of students and will include activities pointing up the need of preserving our nation's and individual freedoms," said Wagner. Wagner is a graduate of St. John's High School in Los Angeles, but now claims East Whitier as home, where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Wagner, reside. He is studying accounting at Fullerton.
