will she spontaneously climb into her Sc
dan and journey into San Jose or San
Francisco for it; instead, she'll patronize
4 home town beauty shop. The result will
be that instead Of lingering on in SAN

laucouS shopping, she'll do that also IN
WatSOnVille
And therell be lot less Of the Browns
proposing to their Watsonville neighborS
the Smiths a drive into the bio cities for
a show that evening, and the Smiths COM
ing back with an acceptance coupled to
the idea Of going early for a look at GER
tain shops, then dinner before the theater.
Instead. both families will take in a movie
or other entertainment right here, and
let the shopping and the eating work
themselves out in normal fashion.
There will be a great deal more home
entertaining Of every sort. simple, health
full and less expensive. Needless gadding

REPORT ON PEARL HARBOR

The report of the special Presidential
commission headed 10y Justice Roberts on
The Pearl Harbor disaster Is remark
ably candid. thorough and able document
but no American can read what IL has to
report without sickness of heart. Prior
IL the attack almost every military mis-
take possible seems to have been made
by those immediately in charge Of the
defense, q Hawaii, while the evils of an
lucky chance added - thos" Of mcom-
petenec
Before lht attack there seems to have
been no lack q warnings from Washing
ton, though the adequacy of some of them
may be questioned The secretary of the
Navy. at all events, deserves credit for
the remarkably prophetic note to the sec
retarY of war almost a year before the at
tack. in which he foresaw the possibility
that in case Of war with Japan "hostilitieS
would he initiated by a surprise attack
upon the fleet or the naval base at Pearl
Harbor." and that this might include
''air-bombing attack and air torpedo
plane attack.
1t Is imperative to learn. not merely
what happened at Pearl Harhor and who
on the spot was responsible for it. but
the wider shortcomings of which our an
preparedness there may have been mere
y Symptomatic For we must make sure
not only that such disaster cannot hap
pen again but that it shall not have hap
pened in vain. and that however costly
and bitter its lessons they have been thor

HOME MADE TEXTBOOKS

GOV. Culbert L. Olson proposes that
California authors be hired by the state
to write textbooks for California schools
50 the state will not have to pay royalties
to eastern publishers.
Grand as far as economy goes.
But who's going to hire the authors:
If it's the governor, we're against It. II
it's any board directly appointed by the
governor we're still against It.
We don't want to see John Stelnbeck
writing treatises for California students
on social economics, nor Carey McWil-
lams (who already holds one state job
putting his Ieft-Wing Factories in the
Fields" ideas into a textbook for tender
minds. There is Upton Sinclair as pos
sible candidate. also. but We're not exact
" up on his latest political relations with
the California little New Deal.
The history of the state administration
has been a discOuraging one in the mat
ter Of choosing appointees for various
ASSIGNMENTS. and we're not at all willing
to take the risk of seeing our new text
books come from the pens of Communists,
fellow travellers and wide assortment
Of crackpots.
So before the governors plan goes any
further, we think the question should be
answered. who's going to choose the
new textbook authors?
We're bit afraid the answer won't be
what II should

The final war games maneuv-
ers in Vineyard Sound were held
on October 2. They called for
the mock invasion of a coast line
supposedly held by the enemy
with small air support and a
limited naval force.
In the war games, the inva-
sion got under way an hour and
half before daylight. First at
tacks were made miles away
from the main invasion center
to distract enemy forces.

engineers raced inland blowing
up enemy barriers and establish

The assault boats of the main
attacking force struck the beach
in a succession of "waves." Cow

Drunk Drivers Drunken
Than Ever Before

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13-(H
- Police Captain w. H. Parker
told the greater Los Angeles
Safety Council that drunk dri-
vers are drunken this year-and
they are causing more accidents
than ever before"
"A survey made In 1910 dis
closed 854 personal injury ac-
cidents involving drunk dri-
vers," Parker said yesterday.
In two years, this total in
creased 80 per cent to 1928
cases in which drivers who had
had several too many (drinks)
were implicated, although other
Los Angeles county accidents
hive decreased noticeably in the
