Neal of Grass Valley were surprised to learn recently that their .son, Lieutenant. Arthur:_N. Neal, was piloting one of the three big B29 bombers, now making an -around the world tour. *“We never do know,’’ said Mrs. Neal, ‘‘just what our son is doing. He does it first then tells us afterward. The last we knew he was piloting a B50 which is one of the new superbombers recently purcheased by the army. Young Neal graduated from the high school in Elwood, Pa., and shortly afterward enlisted in the U, S. Air Corps as a mechanic. He was in Pear] Harbor when the Japanese airmen attacked it on December 7, 1941. He was one-ofthe survivors and when the war opened he was sent to a training school and got his air wings. In the Pacific he saw action many times. From Tinian Island he was sent on eleven bombing and mine laying missions. Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Neal live in the Oaks Subdivision.

L., SR. — sp It ws noticeable that the President. delivering his message to Congress, which he called just as the senators and representatives were preparing to begin their campaigns for re-election was much more polite than his fighting acceptance talk before the Philadelphia Democratic convention. e & & f Not that Harry Truman became a shrinking violet. On the contrary he seemed very much in earnest. Our guess is that the Republicans will think twice before speedily adjourning Congress after listening to the President. The President demonstrated quite clearly that “he has something” on the ball. It would seem to reas~ onable men. including most’ Republicans, that the better course for them to pursue, is to dig in and act on some of these measures, the President mentions, even if it should require a matter of weeks or months. * H & The Repubiicans stand accused of legislating against the entrance of displaced persons, who are either Jews or Catholics. The bill which the President signed under protest, certainly needs amending if this is true. We note that the President stepped very lightly into the subject of his civil rights program. but he did mention it, and it may be that Republicans will seize on this bill first, in order to bring the Democratie South into the picture and further the rift in the Democratic party. e H However, this may prove a boomerang. The opportunity is “there to be sure, but it is quite possible that the President would pick up more votes in the northern and western states than he. will lose in the South. The Republicans may be counting on a tremendous Southern filibuster to stymie the entire session. If they do propose civil rights legislation then they had better get it through and over with, otherwise the voters will be very dissatisfied with their performance. e h H It. is too early to count the ballots in November’s election. We think the President has placed the Republican Congressmen. on a hot spot. They had better figure out a good plan for getting off it without discredit. They might, for instance, take Truman at his word and really enact legislation curbing high prices and high wages. If for: instance we should suddenly find ourselves in the same position nationally that we were in 1928-29-30, it would be BRIDGES FINED $100 ON OBSCENE LANGUAGE COUNT NEVADA ‘CITY: Robert E.
