GOOD START MADE BUT
MUCH YET TO BE DONE

The transfer of many tons of rubbish
from El Centre alleys to the dump pile
has worked wonders in the appearance
of the city's backyard areas, but last
weeks windy days revealed that there
is much to do before the problem is con-
quered Efforts of the city to succeed in
an all-out drive in this alley cleaning
cannot succeed without more and fur
ther cooperation of the citizens.
One phase of the crusade needs direct
assistance from the public, and right
now. This has to do with vacant lots
and objects that catch and hold old pa
pers and the like which are carried
about by every shifting wind. All such
refuse should be rounded up IN some
voluntary movement unless there are
means to require owners to look after
this situation.
In this cleanup drive there should be
no such thing as "squatters rights nor
should there be any buck-passing simply
because the wind has its way 1t Is nat
tural for householder to remove DRIFT
ing paper and the like from their front
yards and other parts OF their premises
in the interests of neatness, even II Tor
no other reason. Likewise 1t should be
to the same interest that they help in
areas adjacent to their property where
there seems no other way to get at the
situation.
And equally as important in assisting
the present drive is the necessity of clti-
zens to abide by the ordinances and see
that proper containers are available and
that each day the rubbish is placed in
them in such manner that it can't go
flying about.
Incidently the city has warned that
such ordinances will be administered in
tho future.

HIGH COURT DiSCOURAGES
RESEARCH PROGRESS

Recent decisions of the United States
Supreme Court. with majority opinions
written by Justice Frankfurter, the lad
minstration coordinator" in the so-called
"packcd" court, are in effect an effort
to remake the nations patent laws and
to rewrite the constitution as well.
Under these decisions there is little
incentive left to the tremendous research
work being conducted by various indus
tries These rulings arbitrarily deny
such organizations the right of patent.
On the other hand should some dreamer
or prodigy happen to fall onto some of
the magnificent things these research
laboratories are discovering, the court
would recognize such persons as quail
fled to take out copyrights or patents.
Suppose this court had been on the
bench and of the humor it is in when
Fulton was revolutionizng transporta-
tion and he had been working with some
research concern; or what of Whitney
and even Edison?
These decisions do not pretend to per-
nit the further development OF discover
les already made or production by the
groups responsible for them, nor does
the courts ruling give much encourage
ment for further research, notwithstand-
ing that many of these discoveries direct
ly are of the greatest benefit to mankind.
In other words, Mr. Frankfurter, who
as insinuated himself upon the nation
as the possessor Of the one and only great
mind. thinks it fine for organizations to
spend millions and billions, only to be
told that thcir discoveries cannot be
their own.
There may be tendency in some cases
for these groups to seek undue profits,
but such cases are few. Mr.. Frank
furter does not seem to take into account
that courts are final arbiters in such in
stances.
Nor does he indicate how dreamer
who obtains a patent under his interpre-
tation, can ever carry out his discovery
TO the benefit Of man.

SPREADING The ATTACK
ON JAP STRONGHOLDS
(Christian Science Monitor)

Japan had clever defense plan. 1t
depended on an outer shield of island
garrisons linked by ship and plane.
Ships could concentrate men and sup
plies at any desired point for offense or
defense. Planes could quickly hop to
any threatened base as needed. For two
years the plan worked we'll, but such
attacks as those made on Truk, Palau,
Hollandia, Wewak, Woleai, and Rabaul
in the last two days disclose that Ameri
can forces have found an answer.
The American system is to spread the
defense by hitting at several points at
once. Today Admiral Nimitz. with his
battleship and cruiser strength, can be
fairly sure that enemy ships will not
attempt to defend bases or supply lines
west of the Philippines or south of the
Bonins He can send carrier forces to
pound two or three key points at the
same time. And these can be supple
merted by land-based bombers, like Gen
eral MacArthur's at Truk.
Tokyo dare not use its plan for con-
centration. 1t must try to defend Palau,
Truk, Rabaul, and Hollandia at the same
time. And they are 500 to 1000 miles
apart OF the latest strikes, that at Palau
is most significant, for it confirms the
belief that Japan is not keeping its fleet
in the big harbor there. And it takes the
spearhead of American attack to within
500 miles of the Philippines. Next stop
Mindanao?

Governor Views
Postwar Funds

A total of $62,000,000 will be
available by June 80, l945, from
sales tax collections earmarked for
postwar projects, according to
present estimates, instead of SAB
100000 estimatod during the last
regular legislative session, Warren
said.
How to plan for postwar ex-
penditure OF 7,000,001--the diff
ference between the S62,OOO,000 eG-
innate and $25,0OO0OG already vir-
luallv planned for-Was the prob
lem Warren left UP to the COM
mittee.
Warren also asked the COM
mittee fer legislative determination
CT whether an appropriation of
some $l.500O00 should be made
at a special section next month of
funds in addition to Sl,250,000 al
ready expended or accounted for
in plans and specifications for the
$25,000,000 program
The governor predicted the pos
sibility of status acquisition of new
lands and very considerable new
construction" at state institutions,
including the likelihood of new
state mental institution for which
location would have to be deter
mined.
He also asked consideration by
the committee of a $50,000,000 pro-
gram asked for by the University
of California and a Qualification
of what funds would be available
for the purpose because the uni
versity is unwilling that its build
ingS be subjects to approval By
the state board of control.
State Senator Ralph Z. wing
CRD, San Bernadino, said iie be-
lieved there was no better pur-
pose for which We could spend
money than the university pro-
gram.
Warren also predicted mini
mum total surplus of $130,000,-
coo in the state treasury by June
1945, but warned that what goes
up must come down, and the time
is coming when our revenues can
be expected TO drop az sharply

WE
the Women
Nv RUTH MILLETT

In some cities, judges give the
neglectful parents of juvenile de-
linouents a Jail sentence, or make
them pay fine.
But in San Francisco the juve-
nile court puts delinquent parents
on probation and sentences them
to attend a Parental School" for
eight sessions, one night a week.
There a judge tells parents of
their legal responsibility. A men,
Der of the city playground depart
ment tells the parents their chill
drens recreational needs. A repre-
sentative of the United States En-
,oloyment Service discusses after
school jobs for children. A Catholic
priest, a Jewish rabbi, and a Pro-
testant minister talk about the
place of religion in family life.
Someone from the Community
Chest tells the parents what or
ganizations such as Campfire Girls,
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have
to offer young folks A pSycholo-
gist discusses family problems. And
a physician talks about nutrition,
general health, and communicable
diseases.
SYSTEM SEEMS TO WORK
The school has graduated 200
parents-and so far hasn't had a
single pupil sent back to repeat
the course.
This school hasn't cost San Fran
cisco anything. The course is held
in a public high school-and the
lecturers don't charge for their SER
vices.
Every town and city in the Unit
ed States that is alarmed over its
juvenile delinquency problem ought
to set up its own Parental School.
A judge can't make delinquent
parents better parents by making
them pay fine or spend two weeks
in jail-or by giving them a public

The only way you can make good
parents out of poor parents Is by

Bashore Seeks
Injunction
On School Cost

SACRAMENTO, April IL (Spe-
ciaD-The state attorney general
has been asked to start an in
junction suit seeking to prevent
the state from turning millions of
dollars over to school districts for
war production training courses
paid for by the federal government.
Lee T. Bashore, of Glendora, as
semblyman and chairman of the
schools subcommittee of the joint
legislative committee on state tax
structure, has requested the action,
basing his request on the attorney
generals recently released opinion
that where the feceral government
pays the total cost of the courses
there should be no apportionment
of state funds based upon average
daily attendance and where the
federal government pays part of the
cost of such courses, the amount
paid by the government should be
an abatement of the amount which
the district otherwise would receive
from the state based on average
daily attendance.
Because the state superintendent
of public instruction will be certify
ing average daily attendance to
the state controller for the alloca-
tion of school apportionments for
next year in the near future, Ba-
shore has requested the attorney
general to proceed with filing the
injunction Immediately.
The apportionment Of state
school fumes for school districts is
based upon the theory that a Ger
tain amount per pupil in average
daily attendance shall be paid. All
school districts are thus placed
upon the same basis. The theory
behind this apportionment is that
it shall be uniform throughout the
state and that no school district
shall profit at the expense OF an
other school district. ITO allow
such a profit would give to some
districts state school funds which
other districts sorely need Ba-
shore said. quoting from the attor-
ney generals opinion.

POSTAGE UP AND DOWN
Riverside Daily Press)

The good old two-cent stamp no longer
carries letter across town to Aunt Min
ME- It's three cents or no letter now
or maybe just a postcard. And, as one
writer observes, ''it will be worth eight
cents-when airmai really goes by air.
AS to the new rule imposing three-cent
postage, it is really going back to old
times. The minimum charge was three
cents a century ago, when stamps were
first officially authorized. Not till 1885,
when the Civil war was pretty well paid
for, did the tWo-cent rate become general.
For the next 81 years all domestic letters
bore the red engraved portrait OF George
Washington. In June, 1882, general
three-cent rate was substituted; but with
in few months two cents became the
charge for local mail, and three cents for
letters out-of-town. This rule, as every
body knows, continued until Hitler and
Hirohito decided otherwise.
A uniform rate at least saves mental
wear and tear. Before many years the
two-cent stamp may decorate our letters
again. but, as a general rule, tax once
established seldom is repealed.
