Il saw 'em, Dad. We've followed

up and watched. 1t was that wild

WHAT MAY BE MORALLY
" wrong may not necessarily be
legally wrong. There was nothing
illegal in a United States Senator's
using his influence to secure Re-
construction Finance Corporation
loan for client of his attorney son,
for which the son received a fee
of $21 900, but the senator's action
was definitely morally wrong.
No court of law would con-
vict him for legal wrong doing,
but the court of public opinion
the vOterS-ShOuld convict him
of moral wrong. At the next
election, when that senator is
candidate for reelection, and
all others who have been mixed
up in the R.F.C. scandals, re-
gardless of political affiliations,
they should be retired to private
life.
Such men should not be placed in
positions of influence They are not
entitled to public confidence. The
Fulbright committee brought these
men into the limelight, but that
committee cannot convict them as
can the court of public opinion Nor
ally they are guilty as were those
in the Harding administration, but
they were smoother, and avoided
legal wrong doing.
So long as they were only
morally crooked the President
cond0nes their offense, and
sees nothing wrong in the &C.

pline the boss. The R.F.C and
the sale of federal jobs in Mis-

that call for a thorough house
cleaning.
Secretary of State Acheson re-

Hiss, convicted of perjury and
President Truman condoned Ach-
eson's statement, as he has con-
doned the action of White House
employees in the R.F.C. scandals,
on the grounds they have committed
no legal crime Evidently immorali-
ties have no place in his conception
of wrong doing, and such a concep-

the presidential job. Like the scan

it is sorry mess.

Joe, Harry and Tom were all
subject to the draft, and all three
were asking for deferment for diff
terent reasons, which each thought
was entirely legitimate. Congress
has made no definite rule that will
apply to those seeking deferment,
but instead of doing so, it has
passed that arduous duty to the
President, thus again abdicating a
job that is strictly up to the con-
gress. Congress has abdicated in
so many instances that now the
President has more authority than
has any President in history.
That is not unusual confidence
on the part of congress in the pres
ent administrative branch of the
government, but rather a desire to
pass along to the President those

directly or indirectly on agriculture
and related farm industries as its
main source of income.
OF the 220 different crops grown
on Central Valley farms, the prin-
cipal ones are field crops-includ-

beets, beans, barley, cotton and
rice; truck crops-including aspar-

and nuts, including grapes, peaches,
plums, prunes, apricots, pears,

Practically all of these crops are
grown under irrigation, except for
some barley, almonds and beans.
Over go per cent of the gross
farm income of the valley is from

His plan was made public in 1919,

Legislature in 1921. There followed
the Estate Water Plan" of 1881,
forerunner of the Central Valley

assistance was sought. In Septem-

the Emergency Relief act. Con-

under the direction of Walker R.
