Worker Shortage Poses Threat The Orange County vegetable and citrus industries are faced with a grave crisis—in fact their very existence is being treated by the scheduled end of the bracero program on Dec. 31. Many plans are now on the drawing boards to cover the expected shortage of agricultural workers when the program is terminated—but up to now, these show little promise of being acceptable. This mainly because the domestic farm worker is unable, or is not inclined, to compete with Mexican workers when it comes to stoop labor. There is no denying that this type of work is one of the hardest performed in present-day agriculture — but a solution must be found and found in the near future if this type of agriculture is to survive in Orange County. Despite our advances in mechanical harvesting, very few machines have yet been developed that can replace the worker in the field and orchid. We are of the opinion that, unless a workable program is developed in the near future that can assure an adequate supply of domestic workers, the bracero program should be extended for another year. Poverty Package It is as unfortunate as it was inevitable that the administration's "poverty package" bill had to come before Congress in an election year, when both Democrats and Republicans are unwilling to adopt anything short of an all-or-nothing attitude toward the package. Republicans are accurate in calling it a "political" bill, in that it is destined to be passed or rejected by Congress with only minor changes. On neither side of the aisle is there any apparent willingness to engage in the push-pull process that tailors raw administration proposals into sound legislation. As might be expected, the "poverty package" is neither the panacea the administration calls it nor the fraud upon the Republic the minority party brands it. It has good features and bad, and if this were not a presidential campaign year, Congress might more easily salvage the good and dump the there should be more emphasis on training and less on make-work. The work-study programs for subsidizing college student employment and the community action portions of the bill both are worthwhile. The rural poverty portion of the bill is questionable. In passing one version of the administration bill the Senate balked quite properly, at the provision for giving grants of up to $1,500 to low income rural families. The entire farm section of the poverty package, in fact, has to be considered in the light of this country's farm program. It does not really make sense to shore up the inefficient end of the agricultural community and thereby increase the surplus glut. A similar objection can be brought to a proposal in the poverty package for loans to small businesses. These would be administered through the poverty program director's office and would be more liberal than the regular loans available through the Small On neither side of the aisle is there any apparent willingness to engage in the push-pull process that tailors raw administration proposals into sound legislation. As might be expected, the "poverty package" is neither the panacea the administration calls it nor the fraud upon the Republic the minority party brands it. It has good features and bad, and if this were not a presidential campaign year, Congress might more easily salvage the good and dump the bad. As things stand, such hope is forlorn. Much of the bill focuses on youths in the 16 to 21 age bracket. It seems clear that the jog of funneling members of this age group into productive places in the national economy over the next couple of decades will require federal participation. The best features of the administration bill are those providing for job training and counseling.

Power Managing Editor The Long, Mighty History Of the Feared Irish Navy The attack on the USS Maddux by three motor torpedo boats this past weekend brought back to me memories of the early days of World War II. Mainly — the Irish Navy. You have never heard of the Irish Navy? Very few people have — but there is such a force in existence. As a matter of fact it is now quite stronger than the first time I learned that such a naval power existed. If my memory serves me correctly, it was in that Golden Summer of 1938, when I was receiving a good Irish education at the hands of the Patrician Brothers in a place named Malow, County Cork, that I realized such a force was formed. The war clouds were gathering and Ireland, like a great seafaring power that it was, realized it needed warships to protect her vast coastline. What would the Irish Navy consist of? There was talk of amassing a naval task force consisting of only one country that wished to unload two motor torpedo boats at the price it was willing to pay — and saints preserve us what county was it — the British of course! After months of wrangling between Dublin and Whitehall the two boats were purchased and the Irish Navy came into existence. There was only one rub — there was not an Irishman capable of holding the rank of Admiral in the Irish Navy. You guessed it: We borrowed a British Royal Navy lieutenant, made him a commander in the Irish Nay and sat back and — the Germans, the English or even the Americans didn't even dare touch the Emerald Isle. While you're thinkin' of taking a quick trip to the Emerald Isle, jog on down to Melodyland Theatre in Anaheim any night this week or next and see 'Finian's Rainbow,' starring comedian Alan Young. Scenic designer Hal Shafer has worked one of his usual Revenues Top Record Mark The principal tax revenue local governments in Orkney County reached $170,655,454 the year which ended June 1964, according to Californi Taxpayers Association. Local sales taxes are posed by cities and the county while property taxes are leased by all local governments including cities, schools and special districts as well as the county government. The 1964 figure represents $63,170,772 increase over $107,494,882 imposed for the year ending June 30, 1961. Three-year increase amounts 58.8 per cent while population during the same period creased 23.8 per cent according to the Association's analysis. Local sales and property taxes throughout the State of California totaled $3,171,885,661 for 1963-64. This total is up of $2,889,735,512 in property taxes levied and $282,150,141 local sales taxes. In the years since 1961, total sales property taxes in California creased from $2,486,134,524. is an increase of $685,751,132 27.5 per cent, during the period when population in the State creased 11.5 per cent. "California's spectacular unceasing growth certainly had its impact on government and explains in part the growth in local taxes." observed S. Arnold, Executive Director California Taxpayers Association. However, every effort should be made to avoid excess growth in taxes in order California can continue to vide an attractive business mate for the industry so desperately need to em This country’s farm is not really make the inefficient end of the community and the surplus glut.

The war clouds were gather­ing and Ireland, like a great seafaring power that it was, realized it needed warships to protect her vast coastline. What would the Irish Navy consist of? There was talk of amassing a naval task force consisting of at least two battleships, a few aircraft carriers and numerous destroyers and minesweepers. The spirit was willing but the treasury was weak. The treasury was so weak it was realized that it could only afford two motor torpedo boats and even with that, of ancient vintage.

Scenic designer Hal Shafer has worked one of his usual miracles to transform the huge circular stage into a bright and gleaming bit o’ the Auld Sod. And what with leaping leprechauns, graceful dancing girls all clad in green and brogues as thick as churned butter, the Melodyland Theatre visitor will have been transmitted to Ireland for the mere price of a theatre ticket. It’s all about a crock of gold which Finian steals from Og, the amorous Leorechaun, and plants in Fort Knox, thinkin’ it might sprout into more gold. There’s plenty of romance in “Finian’s Rainbow” too, and a covey of lovely, lilting tunes such as “How Are Things in Glocca Morrat?” “Look to the Rainbow,” “Something Sort of Grandish,” and “When I’m Not Near the Girl I Love.” Dior Decrees Fuller Skirts Long Jackets PARIS (UPI)—The House of Christian Dior stressed fuller “peasant” skirts and long jackets today in its fall and winter line of suits. Dior designer Marc Bohan showed a squared-off jacket in his parade of 200 creations that are destined to influence what women will wear in the coming months. Another type of suit, which he called a hunting outfit, had a straight skirt and an extra-long straight jacket. The Dior dresses had blouse tops and extra-full skirts which Bohan also dubbed “peasant style.” See all that’s new for home, for leisure, recreation and better living in the big ray of exhibits in the New Pucts Pavilion at the 1964 Or­county Fair in Costa Mare July 14-19.

EXCEPT IN SOUTH Humphrey Backed For Vice President WASHINGTON (API)—Democratic leaders in more than a dozen Midwestern and Western states today indicated their willingness to support Sen. Hubert Humphrey for vice president, but southern backing for the Minnesota Democrat was not as widespread. Results of a UPI survey showed that after President Johnson's elimination of Atty Gen. Robert F. Kennedy and other cabinet officers, many governors, state chairmen and other party leaders preferred Humphrey over Sen. Eugene McCarthy, D-Minn., or were willing to support the President's choice for a running mate. An for Nebraska, said that the state's 19 vote delegation felt that "any choice President Johnson makes will be fine with us. Hubert Humphrey would probably fill the bill very well." Midwestern support of Humphrey is generally widespread among Democratic officeholders. Wisconsin Gov. John Reynolds predicted Humphrey probably would receive the nomination and that Wisconsin Democrats would be "100 per cent" behind him. Iowa Gov. Harold E.
