TAXPAYERS SHOULD INSPECT
MILITARY INSTALLATIONS

Imperial Valley has many important
wartime installations, and it is highly re
grettable that some way has not been de-
vised whereby the lay, taX-paying public
may enter these bases and see for them
selves how the army, navy, marine corps
and coast guard are operating.
The other day this writer, along with
other newspaper men and women in
spected the new naval air station at Holt
vile. This is only one of more than a
dozen such plants viewed by the writer
and the reaction at the Holtville field
was the same produced at all others.
In every case one realizes what is really
going on. Of course there can be no COM
plete such realization without seeing and
knowing intimately all the war opera
tions. But viewing even one or two gives
first hand acquaintance with that par
ticular segment OF a program so extensive
that the imagination is staggered.
Such inspections by the taxpayers
would be opportunities to see what their
money buys. Newspaper story pictures
go by the board These camps are the
real things, far more than type and COM
mentator jabber.
The result is a new attitude toward
taxes, first-hand evidence that this war
isn't movie play, that these training
and operational points are complicated,
big things where men who yesterday
walked along main streets of the country,
today are learning ponderous new bust
ness of war.
We cannot help but believe little harm
could come from public visits. That,
however, is for the military to decide,
and under the circumstances they are
running the party. Possibly, in the
future, regulations will be eased.
We hope they will be. A big lift in
public morale would result

TECHNICAL ADVICE NEEDED
IN PLANNING FOR FUTURE
WatsonUille Register }

Technical advice IN formulating plans
and preparing blue prints for post
war public works program for Santa
Cruz county is undoubtedly the sensible
and economical manner IN proceeding to
effect a cushion of employment at
wars end and at the same time secure
the maximum of development of the
county's bountiful recreatlonal resources.
1t strikes us that Chairman George
Morgan and his conferees on the board
of supervisors would win wide public ac-
claim by adopting such course Of action
The small cost of employing some dis
tinguished planning cOnsultant TO lnte-
CRATE whatever plans are already drafted
and implementing them with ideas from
practical planning experience elsewhere,
would be negligible
1t would be a sound investment IN the
future of Santa Cruz county's orderly
development Even if there were not
available whatever funds might be requlr-
ed for such a necessary survey OF the
potentialities of our region, it would be
an expenditure that every element OF
necessity" or emergency would re-
quire. But, we believe, there are ample
funds that can be found by the board OF
supervisors to do this vital job.
Civic leaders Of Santa Cruz county have
advocated the value and necessity of
County Plan" in consonance with that
of San Mateo county, and also that now
being drafted for Monterey county.
1t is supported by the Chamber of
Commerce Of the Pajaro Valley. 1t
has just been given fresh impetus by the
Watsonville Kiwanis club, which roundly
endorsed the proposal
In this day and age a person with a
tooth-ache does not consult an automobile
mechanic neither does man on trial for
his life undertake his own defense or en-
list the aid of a friend without technical
training and capacity for the job in hand.
So, too, it appears that no argument
is necessary to convince the board of
supervisors of Santa Cruz county that
the very best advice and service available
should be obtained to compile Master
Plan for this county which will at once
arouse the citizenry to its support and
enable us to obtain the maximum cOopera-
tive federal and state aid in the eXecu
tion of broadside PLANNED Program OF
Public Works Construction" to be Initial
ed the day war ends.
But, the planning must be done now
immediately-if we are to be ready when
the complications of the post war days
arrive. And they may arrive with stun
ming and staggering suddenness. 1t Will
be we'll to be ready.

spot here in that as of July /, 1943,
There will be an estimated carry
over of some $50 million bushels of
wheat. But if that is drawn on
freely for livestock feed, it can be
reduced to $50 million bushels in
the next year, and could easily be-
come deficit.
DYNAMITE IN HUSKS
Industrial alcohol will take 19C
million bushels of corn, other corn
products like starches will take l3C
million, corn milling and cereals
l60 million. That adds up to only
480 million bushels or about Is per
cent o fthe total supply of three and
quarter billion bushels available
up to Oct. /, but it is an important
| Is per cent and to cut off even a
part of it to feed these hungry hogs
would seriously impair the war ef-
| fort.
So what?
The alternatives which the
price fiXers and the govern
ment manipulators faced were:
l. Increase the ceiling price
on corn.
2. Lower the price on hogs.
3. Or both.
a. Or figure out a subsidy that
in some mysterious way would
keep corn down and hogs up, at
the same time giving the far
mers more money for their corn
while making porkchops cheap

the hogs which are here to eat.

please the farmers, but raise tht

sumers mad. No. 2 would please
consumers but anger farmers. No
might hit the taxpayers an aWfu
Jolt in the long run. And If th'
pigs are permitted to keep on eat
ing up all the corn, eventually
when the corn is gone, the pigs viii
have to be sacrificed, which viii
make the farmers sore.
That's why corn is such politica
dynamite. One thing sure. Nobod.
is apt to come forward with an
other suggestion for killing off thu
surplus baby pigs. What happened
the last time that was tried is still
remembered with pain in some New

The dissenting opinion of Chief
Justice Stone in the Schneiderman
case is SO convincing that no can
wonder at the concurrence OF JUS
tice Roberts and Frankfurter. The
puzzle, after reading all OF the
opinions, is how the other five
justices minds worked to reject
Justice Stones logic and decide
that Schneiderman is entitled to
citizenship.
Justice Stones reasoning fills 81
printed pages, but the gist of 1t can
be summarized quite briefly.
When Schneiderman was nat
uralized, in 1927, he had been for
six years an active Communist
Party worker During much of
that time he had been an educa-
tional director, teaching Stalinist
doctrine The party doctrine in
cluded advocacy of armed revolu-
ton "by means of rifles, bayonets,
cannon" to enforce and maintain
the supremacy of "the conquering
party"
"The proletariat must resort to
an armed uprising" said the
Statutes. These and Conditions of

BY PETER EDSON

Good American corn-the grain
not the stuff in the bottles-is the
most politically dangerous issue and
the most economically dangerou.
farm product on the scene today
and its in something of a mess
Loss of the battle of corn in the
next few months could be as dis
astrous as loss of the Aleutians.
The problem is complicated by
the fact that corn is not just
corn. 1t is hogs, it is dairy
products, it is poultry, it is food
for human consumption, it is
industrial starch, it is corn
sWeeteners, industrial alcohol,
synthetic rubber, textiles, paper
all of them articles of war.
Corn is therefore Public Cereal
No l, and of major interest to
the best minds both in and out
of Washington, including par
ticularly the War Food Admin
iStration and the Office of Price
Administration who are in fact
setting up nights worrying what
to do about it.
The situation is briefly this:
Corn prices are frozen under ar
OPA ceiling. The price to the far
mer in the corn belt is approx
mately 81 a bushel, as corn. If
however, the farmer choose to feet
that corn TO pigs, he can get $l.3i
a bushel for the corn in the form ol
pork.
The reason for this is that tht
government guaranteed floor price
for hogs is S1375 per 100 pounds
Actually, it is closer to Sl4.50 anc
has been as high as $l650. The
price has been permitted to stay
high TO increase pork production.
HOGS HOG THE CORN
The effect Of this ceiling on corn
prices and floor under hog price
has been to increase the hog pop
ulation of the United States from
around 104 million head as of ;
year ago TO nearly 100 million heat
as of today, and this tremendou
| hog population is threatening to ca
up all the corn in sight-not onl,
all of the holdover from last year
but all of this years crop as well
plus certain amount of wheat ant
other feed grains to boot. Even
tually, that might even affect tn
production of wheat flour and tn
supply of bread.
Sooner than that it might
force a shutdown Of corn prod
ucts plants making industrial
alcohol and starch and such
things, because they can pay
only 81 bushel, while the hogs,
in competition, can pay Sl.35.
The hog is therefore now eating
the country into something ap-
preaching a national disaster,
and its effects will be wide
spread.
A large part of the poultry anc
dairy products are raised in areas
which don't produce feed. Corn
isn't coming into these areas be-
cause the price is frozen at 81 to
the farmer. The dairymen and
poultry raisers must therefore buy
other feeds at higher prices, and
up ~nes the cost of butter and eggs
There Is one relatively bright
