BACKING UP THE LINE

(ChriStian Science MonitOr)
President Truman's opposition to gen
eral tax cuts before VJ-Day appears less
an unwillingness to consider adjustments
than an effort to back up hard-pressed
line For the administration has already
voiced its approval of a joint congress
sional plan calling for tax concessions.
Mr. Truman is no doubt reacting to the
wave of demands to relax wartime meas
ures which followed the German col
lapse.
If, as seems reasonable, the President
is just backing the line where the ham,
mering is hard, helping to hold the front
until considered and gradual adjust
ments can be made he deserves full sup
port. For while each demand for relief,
whether it be from taxes, from military
service, or from controls, may seem mod
crate in itself, taken together they could
water down to the danger point the ma
tion's resolution to push the war to final
victory. And it is equally important
that these home-front measures either
be held or be relaxed together. If there
is to be no marked cut in taxes, there
must be no breaking down Of wage, price
and rent controls.
The difference between Mr.. Truman's
position and that of Senator George, who
speaks up for tax reduction, appears one
of degree rather than Of basic outlook.
Both agree on the need for continued high
taxes for revenue and to check initiation.
Senator George reflects business concern
with the possibilities of deflation. The
President bears the brunt of, and hence
is more sensitive to, the pressures toward
initiation.
In any case, Senator George makes
sound and strong point when he calls for
immediate framing of definite tax pro-
gram would offer American business
ever it's provisions might be, such pro-
grom would offer American business
some needed landmarks to steer by.

RESPECTED CITIZENS
HAULED INTO COURT
(Santa Ana Register)

(Santa Ana Register)
It's hard to tell who the government
planners will pick on next
Right here in Orange county three of
our most highly respected citizens, w.
Floyd Croddy, Clarence Brown and Wal
ter Knott, have been hauled into court
to answer to crime
And what was the crime? It was pro-
ducing Strawberries and marketing them
through grocery stores on a consignment
basis rather than selling them at less than
cost at the wholesale price set by plan
ners in Washington who probably never
raised a strawberry in their whole lives.
Here is a nice example of government
OPA price ceilings. Busy hard working,
efficient producers held in the highest
esteem in the county, are detracted by
bureaucratic, starry-eyed dreamers from
their long hours of useful service to hu-
manity.
Who would have ever thought 10 or 20
years ago, that marketing food on con-
signment basis at what willing and anx-
ious buyers were willing and able to pay
would be regarded as crime
1t is certainly too bad that these busy
men who would be credit to any COM
munity in the world, not only have to
help feed us but have to help fight to re-
store our liberty and our freedom. 1t is
getting to be an honor to he hauled into
federal courts by bureaucratic planners
for violating man-made laws that con-
flict with Gods laws. Mans greatest
progress in gaining freedom came from
men, like the signers of the Declaration
of independence, who refused to supinely
comply with tyrannical man-made laws

WARREN VETOES MEASURE
ON CANCELLATION COURTS

SACRAMENTO, May "a. (UP)-
Gov. Earl Warren las vetoed a bill
which would have discontinued
courts of conciliation in all counties
but Los Angeles.
The courts were established to
handle divorce cases where chill
dren are involved.
Warren said the bill, by Sen Ear
Desmond CD Sacramento, was IN
constitutional because it legislated
for only one county.
Warren signed a bill by Assembly
man Fred Price (RD Redlands
authorizing the judge of juvenile
courts to appoint judges, justices
end recorders to act as referee in
misdemeanor cases.
Under the new law, a referee in
stead of certifying the juvenile to
the court, may retain jurisdiction for
AS much as six months.

board is then added and the piece
is finished to match the woodwork

Stolen $40 Bill
Found Hidden i'm
Bike Handle

The novel scheme of hiding a

bars of a bicycle back-fired on
two 'teen-age boys Thursday.
Deputies Frank Ballor and
Frank Fresard responded to a
call by Arthur j. Schluentz of
As Riverside drive, Mount Glenn
ems, who reported the theft of a
$50 from his locker at Gowanie
golf course.
On their arrival they noticed
a ID and Is year old boy
near the locker and questioned
them. The boys denied taking
the money and on being asked
how they got TO the golf course
they told the deputies they came
on a bike which was nearby.
The deputies examined the BIZ
cycle and on taking off the ham
die grips found the bill tucked
neatly inside the tube. Schluentz
has informed the sheriff's office
that he will not prosecute the
case.
