tlonal difficulties like a bunch of
fussy schoolboys." . ,
RUSSIA'S tactics are obviously
fl DELAYING tactics. . ..
WHY?
Well, If somebody you were op
posing had a weapon vastly more
powerful than anything you had,
what would you do? Naturally,
you'd DELAY while you sought
the secret of the weapon.
IN Berkeley the other day, the
Russian scientist who observ
ed the Bikini tests remarked after
a look at the University of Cali
fornia cyclotron that helped un
lock the atom mystery:
"We'll be conducting tests of
OUR atom bomb some day."
Asked when, he replied: "In the
MEASUREABLE future."
MEANWHILE, Russia seeks
DELAY in every possible
form.
If. Isn't surprising.-
rUE Dardanelles is beginning to
cast its long expected shadow.
Russia wantB a bigger finger In
IhQ Dardanelles pic.
We Una JU. S.) are reported to
be ready to advocate some special
"transit" rights for Russia there.
The principal point of our pres
ent Dardanelles policy, as an
nounced by our state department,
recently, is that these straits
should be open at all times to
TRANSIT ,ot warships of the
Black Sea powers (of which Rus
sia 1b the chief).
But that would bo a mere
agreement. Agreements go to pot
In war, If somebody else had the
commanding fortifications along
the straits, Russia couldn't use
them in WAR unless that some
body were her friend.
The belief is privately expressed-in
Washington that the Rus
sians are dead set on obtaining
military bases In the Dardanelles.
There will be more quarreling
and MORE DELAY when that
comes up.
WHAT Is Russia up lu 'AS A
WHOLE?
General McNarney, comman
der of U. S. forces In Germany,
gives us a significant hint. lie
says In an OFFICIAL report thai
the ultimate objective of the Ger
man communist party is to de
stroy the capitalist system and es
tablish a sociulist state wllh a
classless society. He adds that the
Russian-sponsored socialist unity
party (in Germany) has the same
objective.
That is to say, Russia plans to
make a COMMUNIST WORLD
of everything east of the much
discussed Stettln-Adrlatlc line.
(Naturally, she would need the
Dardanelles In such a scheme.)
- ..'
yVoULD that mean WAR?1
It would, of course, unless a
way can be found whereby com
munism and private enterprise
can GET ALONG WITH EACH
OTHER. ,
This business of getting along
with each other Is assuming In
creasing importance In human
affairs. .
.
ON the home front, it Is an
nounced In Washington that
the public debt of the United
States, as of now, Is 367,6(52,;
200,879.
.Assuming that we have 140
million people, that Is a debt of
about $1900 PER PERSON, or
$5700 for a breadwinner with a
wife and one child.
FIATS' quite a debt when add
ed to other debts (municipal,
state, personal, etc.) ' that we
may have. It ISN'T hopeless. It
can be paid oil rather easily il
CONGRESSIONAL RECESS
By CHARLES V. STANTON
: A congressional recess will, be a good thing for the
fountry, Congressman Harris Ellsworth asserted upon his
return from Washington to spend the next few months in
his district.
The congressman bases his belief upon the theory that:
With Congress adjourned and members back home in
their districts, the people will learn that Congress Is only .
: . a law-making body and tiai no part In actually running the
federal government,
. We fear the congressman is a bit credulous if he believes
the American public in five brief months can be weaned
from the idea that Congress is an organized body of nincom
poops, devoting its efforts exclusively to zany legislation
and interference with every attempt of our benevolent,
paternalistic bureaucracy to do something in the interest of
public welfare.
For many long years the American public has been propa
gandized to the effect that Congress is incompetent, ob
structive, dilatory, negligent, etc., and etc., all adjectives
being synonymous with "lousy." A systematic effort to
destroy faith- of the American people in their legislative
branch of government has been in progress since the Nudeal
first took over administrative reins.
Acting upon the theory that a lie, presented as truth,
through constant repetition will be accepted as truth, our
bureaucratic administration has placed the blame for every
domestic failure, for chaos, confusion, and corruption at the
congressional doorstep. . '
Every current ceiling price increase authorized by the
OPA is charged by OPA to congressional mandate, although
the OPA so brazenly defied congressional intent in price
controls that a new law, which, it must be admitted, is
pretty much of a mess, was enacted, because the administra
tion, still holding a majority in Congress, had to have some
sort of control law to maintain its voting machine.
Many of our labor papers and magazines, circulated
among members of organized labor, blast at Congress con
tinually through editorials, cartoons and comments, portray
ing our legislative branch of government as weak, foolish
and fuddling. Yet virtually every complaint voiced by
labor is not concerned with a law passed by Congress, but
is aimed at regulations imposed by executive order, or some
decision by an executive agency. Congress, passing bills
crammed down its throat by a labor-inspired administration,
set up the program hailed by labor as one of the greatest
advances in labor legislation in the nation's history. But
since passage of that legislation labor has been constantly
in open battle with the War Labor Board, the National
Labor Relations Board, the OPA and other agencies, all
parts of the executive department, while Congress takes the
rap.'
' Executive agencies, bureaus, boards, authorities, panels,
etc., have .thumbed their individual and collective noses at
cettrfteHHlpiial 'intent,, and have proceeded , in their own
merry way to do as they darned well pleased, while their
hired propagapdists' beatfdrums to call the swarm of dis
content upon the head of Congress.
Commenting upon the utter disregard of executive agencies
in exceeding the, number of employes specified by congres
sional personnel ceilings, Senator Harry I' Byrd, chairman
of the joint committee on reduction of non-essential federal
expenditures said:
' Responsible government officials have professed that
these provisions are "just a gesture on the part of Congress."
It Is my Intention to see that future violators find that flout
ing the laws of Congress are gesturee Involving penalties.
We hope the able senator is successful in his effort, but
we doubt if he can make his voice heard above the beating
of the propaganda drums, which would construe his use of
insect powder to id the federal payroll of its infestation
of parasites as another act of congressional obstructionism.
A congressional recess might indeed be well for the
country if tho people could be brought to realize that their
troubles stem from executive regimentation instead of from
Congress, but we doubt that this thought can percolate
through tho public mind, attuned so long to the din of anti
congressional drum beating.

Fight Tree Borers
Now, Suggestion
To Fruit Growers
" Now is the time to" apply con
trol measures for peach and
prune root tree borers. All peach
and prune orchards of the county
show more or less work of the
borers and unless control meas
ures are undertaken at once,
trees will De seriously aamaged,
states J. Roland Parker, county
agricultural agent. Paradichloro-
benzene crystals, commonly can
ed "PZ" cr-stals, are recommend
ed as the most satisfactory treat
ment for both peach and prune
trees.
Trees infested with borers will
usually show an accumulation of
reddish, gummy sawdust at the
base of the tree. Frequently the
cocoon shell will be found around
the base of the tree after the
adult moth has emerged. The
moths begin to lay eggs early in
July and as the eggs hatch, the
young borer crawis down the
trunk of the tree and begins to
enter the trunk of the tree.
Advice on Crystals Use
Application of "PZ" crystals
about the base of the trees from
August 15 to September 15 while
soil temperatures are 55 degrees
F. or higher will prove most ef
fective. Method of application is
not difficult and should be done
by leveling off the surface of the
soil about the base of the tree,
but care should be taken not to
disturb the soil below the surface.
The "PZ" crystals are then
spread around tne Dase 01 tne
tree in a band about one inch
wide and two inches from the
tree trunk. The crystals then
should be covered with a few
shovels full of fine dirt and
smoothed down without disturb
ing the crystals.
Dosage is important, according
to the age of the trees treated.
From three-fourths to one ounce
of "PZ" crystals Is sufficient for
an ordinary tree 6 years of ae or
older. For trees 4 to 5 years old
three-fourths ounce, and for
trees 1 to 3 years of age use one
half ounce. Trees 1 to 3 years old
when treated should have the dirt
covering the crystals removed
after 30 davs. With older trees It
Is not usually necessary to break
down the mounds, but may be ad
visable If weather is rainy and
cool at the end of thirty days fol
lowing application.
Palestine Calm
But Still Tense
HAIFA, Palestine, Aug. 19. JF)
A nationwide offensive which
three underground Jewish grouos
were reported preparing today
failed to materialize by early
evening, and a comparative quiet
settled upon a still tense Holy
mna aner a irouniea weeKeno.
I The only unusual incident up
to 4 P.M. was another "oneratlon
scram" at the Jerusalem poslof-
iice, wnicn was evacuated lor 40
minutes when an anonymous
telephone call warned the place

was becoming routine in a war
of nerves.
A scries of "spot identity
checks" carried out by tho mili
tary in Jerusalem in which pas
sersby were stopped at road
blocks for examination of their
papers gave rise to the report
that plans had been Intercepted
for a coordinated uprising by the
Stern gang, Irgun Zval Lcumi
and Haganah.
British army sources denied
such a plan had been discovered,
however.
Tho central calm since yester
day encouraged some of the
moderate Jewish leaders to pre
dict that a corner had been turn
ed in Palestine's turbulent history
and terrorism might be on the
downgrade here.

Here's why n&an Summer is the
best time to take your vacation
this year!
. .
From now until school starts again is the peak of the summer travel
season. Most of our trains are heavily loaded, and reservations at your
favorite resort are frequently difficult to get.
But if you can arrange to take your vacation after Labor Day in
September or in October or November, chances are you'll be able to
get exactly the accommodations you want not only on the train,
but at your destination as well.
In California, weather is at its best in the fall. San Francisco, for -example,
has its nicest weather in September and October. The same
is true in Southern California.
So we suggest that in planning your well-earned Victory Vacation
this year, it might be well to aim at the Indian Summer off-season.
You'll be less crowded and have lots more fun.
However, if you have to take your vacation sooner, we'll io every
thing we can to help you. Just let us know as far in advance as possible.
