CHANCE HERE FOR
TRUMAN TO ACT

1t probably will take some time for
President Truman to undo all of the
ridiculous and stupid work of the new
deal and its multitudinous bureaus. That
is, If he acts on what he learned as head
of a senate committee that did a lot of
such commendable work even while the
administration was piling up more bur-
eaus and making more blunders.
But the country will be grateful for
even few crackdowns, especially if the
President will turn his guns on few of
the most damaging activities.
First off, perhaps would be the in
excusable, disgraceful handling. of the
problem todayyin every way and in every
community of the country.
A fair sample of the food muddle is
taking place right now in mid-western
state where great areas are planted to
wheat and where stock raising and feed
ing are of equal Importance. Wheat
growers can get the harvesters, but they
can't feed them. Eating places are
closing down because they can't get meat.
The farmers can't sell their cattle be-
cause of restrictions on slaughter houses.
But for that crazy situation, the eating
places would have plenty of meat
Now the farmers, who grow wheat
and raise cattle, want permission to
slaughter their own cattle to provide
meat for their harvest hands Do they
get it? They do not. The Office of
Price Administration says no and the
War Food Administration says no. AS
result millions of bushels of wheat
never may be harvested and cattle ready
for the market will have to be recon-
ditioned on more and more depleted
ranges.
But that is not ALL Even if the farm
ers get their wheat harvested other gov
ernmental rulings and policies block the
free marketing of the grain. To cap it
all, the farmers had to sow the wheat
or be penalized.
Should the President hesitate here?

Senators Defeat
Blood Test Bill

SACRAMENTO June 18. (UP)-
The senate Monday defeated an
assembly approved bill which would
have allowed admission of blood
tests on a limited basis as evidence
in paternity suits.
The bill, by George D. Collins CD
San Francisco, would have permit
ted judges to admit blood tests as
evidence where they showed that
the man in the case was not the
father of the infant involved.
The upper house gave final pas
sage to bill liberalizing provisions
of the law pertaining to granting OF
divorces on grounds of incurable in
sanity As finally submitted by a
conference committee, the bill pro-
vides that a divorce may be obtain
ed on such grounds /in California
where the insane spouse has been
committed to an institution under
the laws of another state, provided
that the sister state recognizes in
durable insanity as grounds for di-
vorce.
The bill also makes the sane
spouse responsible for support of the
insane party even if the latter
should be declared cured and re-
leased from an institution subse-
quent to granting of the divorce Al
the same time, it provides that an
original order for support of an in
sane spouse may be modified in
court at the instance of either
spouse.
The senate also passed an assem-
bly, bill by Bernard Brady CD San
Francisco, making a beating
husband automatically guilty of a
felony. The upper house approved
the bill Is to after ignoring a
suggestion by Sen. Jesse Mayo (R)
Angels Camp, that it be amended
TO include wives who beat up their
husbands.
