wrifes:

From time to time we have said
some unpleasant things about con-
gress and congressman. Apparently
our words hurt. We meant every
thing we said, and as yet have been
given no reason to take back any
word or thought.
Nevertheless there is the chance
that we were unfair in the aggre-
gate because we we're criticising
specific failures of congress, and
could not pause to fit each into
recent times.
We believe that congress, by it's
actions and attitudes, is doing it
self incalculable harm and we be-
lieve that anything which damages
the prestige of congress as an in
stitution constitutes serious
threat to the very heart of democ
racy.
We can not conceive of demo-
cracy functioning without a strong,
alert, capable, informed. coura-
geous representative legislative
branch.
The present congress as a whole
is not strong, or alert, or inform
ed, or courageous. Many congress-
men are capable. but congress is
not. Neither is congress in the true
sense representative.
congressman individually, so far
as they can see the light, try to rep
resent those organized groups which
have influence in the congressmens
districts. which of course are mostly
special interest pressure groups,
But congressman as whole do
not represent the people of the
United States as a whole. There
fore, by a process of og-rolling
the mutual backscratching, major
legislation is made into a hedge
podge of catch-vote items that in
the long run injllre the very people
thev are designed to help.
Here then. is the offset. We co
not feel that this congress is par
ticularly verse than it's predecessors
in recent timese. We do not feel
that most congressman are delib-
erately and consciously Subverting
the national interest for selfish rea-
sons-though some obviously are.
over a period of decades con-
gress has permitted its machinery
to deteriorate It's members have
fallen prey to the loudest and most
frightening lobbyists.
In the current setting, only
near-genius congressman can con-
sistently follow the straight and
narrow path of national interest.
Since most members do not ap-
proocb oeniIlcec hI,t norolV are
rather capable specimens CT the
genius citizen, they go astray much
too often.

State TO Invest
In More U.S.. Bonds

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 28-tUP)-
The investment of another $7,000,-
600 in us. government bonds will
bring the states general fund hold

was asking the Seate Treasurer to
join with him in declaring $7C00,-
600 to be surplus funds'' to permit
the new investment. The. general

decline sharply as result OF war

ChesterfieIds in
New Ad Campaign

The Liggctt & Myers Tobacco
company in announcing new
newspaper campaign for Chester
field cigarettes states its belief that
what smokers look for in cigarette
is a mild, goo1-tasting smoke
and nothing else.
The present campaign, like prev
ious Chesterfield campaigns, is bas-
ed on the idea that men and
women smoke cigarettes fer tho
enjoyment they get out of it. This
idea is carried out in the copy
which states that "Chesterfields
give smokers more pleasure because
their right combination (blend OF
tobaccos makes them milder ant
better tasting"

merely means. in most cases, that the
favored candidates are so outstanding
that they received all except the minor
partv nominations at the primary cleo
tion. In other words. the voters have
already virtually expressed their prefer
encos in these cases.
FOR CONTROLLERS
Harry B. Riley is entitled to reelection
as state controller. A sound, honest pub
lie official. he was nominated at the prl-
mary by Republican, Democrat and Town
send parties. His only opposition Is Com

FOR TREASURER
Few California officials have as en-

Communist Kenneth May. Johnson's re-

the primary election, vote which un-
doubtedly will be repeated in the general

need. Johnson should be reelected.
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION

as Prohibition candidate might be eX-
pected to do. The board of equalization
has many and complex duties relating
to taxes, besides controlling the liquor
traffic. Bonelli, with his experience in
the office and his ability to devote atten-

reelected
STATE ASSEMBLY
Harvey E. Hastain mas no opposition

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

The Leave Everything TO the Ex-
perts" school of thought in Wash
ington has just received a rather
| rude sock on the jaw which should
leave the school adjourned and its
| thoughts reeling for scme time to
come. You may recall that a Ger
tain High Party n short time ago
intimated that Congressman. type
writer experts and other dumb cit
liens shouldn't concern themselves
with technical things they couldn't
possibly understand - problems of
production. military strategy and
the like. Instead, they were advis-
ed to leave everything to the eX-
perts But get load of this:
when the War Production
Beard announced il was authOriZ-
ing the Republic Steel company
to operate a sponge iron furnace
at Youngstown. o., TO make arti-
ficial scrap. hi'B Chairman DON
aid NJ. Nelson made figurative
Geep bow from the hips and ad-
mitted that much of the infOr-
nation which influenced the
board in making this decision
was based on findings of the
Senate Special Committee In
vestigating National Defense.
This is the group CT 10 Senators
hone OF them Xperts-headed by
Senator Harry S. Truman of In
dependence, Mo, who gives the
body is popular name of the Tru-
man committee. Not much has
been heard from the Truman COM
mittee in the last few months. But
the Senators and their staff of in
vestigators under Chief Counsel
Hugh S. Fulton have been digging
quietly into all manner of things,
including a three or fou--mcnths'
investigation of the iron and steel
industry and all its ramifications,
including the scrap situation and
sponge iron.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-10-28
WHY "SPRONGE IRON?

First get clear picture of what
sponge iron is The name Genes
from the fact that the material is
porous. 1t isn't solid metal, like
a pig iron ingot, but full of holes,
like sponge. Sponge ircn is made
by reducing iron ore as it comes
from the mines to a spongy mass,
by heating the ore to tempera-
lures below the fuSing point of
iron. The oxygen in the iron ore
or iron oxides is removed at the
same time by mixing the iron ore
with pulvcrized coal. which burns
eff the oxygen, or by passing
through the heated ore a reducing
gas which combines with the oxy-
gen. The theory is that sponge iron
can be used as a substitute for
scrap iron to Ink with pig iron for
the making of steel.
Now this sponge iron situation
has been kicking around for some
time. Senator Joseph c. Mahoney,
of Chepenne, Wyo.. first kicked
eff on this subject last June.
He was interested primarily in
seeing some of the low grade iron
ere deposits of his state used in
tho war production program.
O'Mahoney was tackled hard by
practically every steel expert in
the country.
Hadn't Judge Gar of United
States Steel spent millions of dol
lars in the 1905 trying to develop
sponge iron, and hadn't the big
steel corporation abandoned sponge
iror az impractical?
But that didn't stop the Truman
committee. Tie Senators and their
Investigators followed their own
noses. They went out into the
field and looked things over for
themselves. They talked to Re-
public and S. Steel and Ford
and H. G. S. Anderson CT Musko-
gee, Okla, who had built and put
in operation sponge iron plant
in Japan. They looked into the
American Academy of Sciences re-
ports en- sponge iron, and the prof.
ects Of Missouri and Texas groups
interested in developing the low
grade iron ore deposits in those
| state
Then the scrap situation became
| mere and more critical.
The War Production Board
iron and steel experts called on
the Truman committee for their
information on sponge iron. The
experts finally had to come to
the amateurs, the people who
couldn't pOss bly, understand one

jects.
The result is not only approval

the effect when the board was cut
down and the crisp frills of dotted

extra touch.
