No. 22. The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Center THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1944 . Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. ‘Air power is emerging from this war as a/new force in compelling international good relationships: formerly it was the navy, but " events are rapidly proving that air power is first and naval power second. Infantry in maintaining "peace or waging war becomes a third rate factor. As pointed out by Henry Tayjor in his book: ‘(Men in Motion,” the controlling strategy of this war is directed to destroying the enemy's air power. We and the British are constantly wearing away the air power of Germany and Japan. In the Pacific we trade one plane for anywhere from five to thirteen of the Jap planes. Over Burope we are trading one plane to about three of the German’s. This takes no account of planes destroyed on the ground in Jap air bases in the Pacific, or in Germany not reckon with de. and also does ‘. evening in the Elks club rooms in struction of air plane factories. The Russian armies are now near enough to Austria and Germany to put on an air show of their own, and this may come anytime. However, we must consider that thé great westiward push of the Red Armies, involving millions of troops, must need a tremendous umbrella of planes to cover atheir prodigious advances. In the light of this major, overall strategy, to force the enemy to expend his air power the battle om the Anzio beachhead, and across the Italian peninsula, can continue to be a stalemate, and still we are winning by constantlv whittling down the German. air . fore.

Congress of Parents and Teachers the Board of Managers on Thursday, March 9 at Hotel Clark in Los Angeles concluded the regular bi-monthly meeting. The detention in jails of minors temporary, usually extends to weeks and frequently to months. Accomodations for juveniles in jails are in most cases not separate from those afforded adult offenders. The usual excuse for such violators of the law is that quarters are not available at detention homes and that necessary priorities cannot be secured. Believing that more public opinion must be aroused, we submit ‘the following recommendations: : 1 That the California Congress conduct a statewide campaign of education: to acquaint the public with the abeve facts. We urge that each ascertaining the faots and making them known in their communities. 29 That the California Congress offer its support in securing priorities for the building of detention home facilities. Snow Pack At Yuba Pass Greater Than Last Year DOWNIEVIILIL7, March 15.—A cooperative snow survey in the Yuba (Pass country has been completed by William A. Nelson fire control assistant, of the Downieville ranger district, which shows 104.3 inches of snow pack with a water content of 32.5 inches. This compares with 78.2 snow pack of the same date last year. Rainfall for the season at the Downieville ranger station is 37.25 inches compared with 52.47 last year at this time.

DINNER TO HONOR DEPARTING FORESTERS The personnel of the entire Tahoe National Forest will honor Mr. Belknap Goldsmith retiring timber scalef who has served with the federal forest service 35 years, with*a farewell dinner qt the Bret Harte Inn in Grass Valle Saturday evening. Also being honored at the dinner are Mare Edmonds and Paul Chesebro who are soon to leave .this forest headquarters. Goldsmith completed his work last Saturday and his plans are indifenite at this time. Harry, W. Camp, of the. San Francisco regional office, will take over the work relinquished by Goldsmith. (Mare Edmonds, chief of fire prevention, has been transferred to the San Francisco regional office where he will assist the senior logging engineer in planning sustained lumber production both from the U.

Donald MacBean, engineer on the local staff, will assume Edmonds work here, ‘His family will accompany him. ‘Paul Chesebro, executive assist: ant to Supervisor Guerdon Ellis, is resigning from his. position to take up other work, His position will be taken over by Harlow: Woods of Willows and of the Mendocino National forest. SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.— 1 the Young Republicans of California, today declared that reports to his office indicated that Justus Craemer, state railroad commissioner and Orange County publisher, is forging rapidly head in the race for U. S. senator at the May primary. . Said the leader of the Young Republicans: [ _ “Justus .Craemer’s candidacy for the United States: senate is making the same appeal to the voters that Farl Warren's candidacy for governor made two years ago—and I predict the same result, when the votes are counted. “Mr. \Craemer’s support is statewide, rather than sectional. His background as a_ successful rural publisher and grower. and his public experience with the problems of our big citie sand major industries, appeal to all classes of voters. “I have received reports during the past few days from Republicans in nearly evéry county in the state which indicate very definitely that Mr. ‘Craemer will win the Republican nomination—and, in that event, I am confident he will defeat Senator Downey.”’ (Clarence Martz, with the Tahoe Forest ¢ ’ after a few days here on business, there was much belly grumbling among the teetotalers:and the most the nightly back yard trips to their Chic Sales.

That which we call a rose, (By any other name would smell as sweet. lar elections but if the day he said it. For while the state at large is holding an election on May 16, Los Angeles County, with its big voting army, is staging an electoral battle of names that smells anything but voters involved. On one and the same ballot Los ‘Angeles County voters will be puzzled to find the names of Fred Houser and Fred Howser—one running for United States senator, the other for district attorney. If that confuses them, and_ they take a look at the other candidates, again they’ may think they are sesing double, for there’s a Dockweiler running for ,U. S. senator—and another Dockwéiler running for district attorney. The Dockweiler seeking election to the United States senate is Mrs. Irene Dockweilet, widow of John F. Dockweiler, who was district attorney at the time of his death a year ago, while the Dockweiler now running for district attorney is Henry I. Dockweiler,’ his brother. And the Houser seeking to be U. S. senator is Lieutenant Governor .Fred Houser while the Howser running for dis-trict attorney is the incumbent, Fred being unrelate appear to be almost identical twins on the ballot, : While this merry mixup may seem at first glance, to. be more amusing than important, actually it may have a vital bearing on the political fortunes of all the candidates involved ——and on the outcome of both the state wide race for tHe United States senate, and the Los Angeles contest to select a county prosecutor. If some ankind opponent hurls a brick at District Attorney Howser, for example who can explain it away if it dents the’ political sombrero of senatorial candidate Houser? And the Same might apply in the case of the Dockweilers. To Lieutenant Governor Fred Houser, making his bid to be U. 8. Senator, the confusion might well Prove to be serious, for hia chief strength is in his home county of Los Angeles and he must pile up.a chance to win. On the other hand, his outstanding opponent for the Republican senatorial nominationa—Juetus Craemer, the Orange County publisher—is strong both in rural Caliarea and is free of name entangle-' ments. Justus Craemer’s friends, as a: matter of fact, are capitalizing on his name with the slogan: “Let’s Have Justus in Washington!” All of which proves that maybe there's something in a name dfter all—Shakespeare to the contrary notwithstanding. January Gas Tax Up 19 Per Cent. . SACRAMENTO, March 16.—California gasoline tax collections for January 1944 exceed those for the first month of last year by $636,$51, marking gain of 19.26 per cent. The State Board of Equalization made this revelation here today upon completiion of a tax assessment of $3,939,249, based on distribution of 131,308,309 gallons of motor vehicle fuel during January. Commenting on the trend disclosed, the board said: r “Tf this auspicious revenue trend: for the first month of the new year is maintained it will mean that the 1944 total may exceed by some $9,-. 1943, which sagged under the 1942 total by $7,829,194.

His background as a_ successful rural publisher and grower. and his public experience with the problems of our big citie sand major industries, appeal to all classes of voters. “I have received reports during the past few days from Republicans in nearly evéry county in the state which indicate very definitely that Mr. ‘Craemer will win the Republican nomination—and, in that event, I am confident he will defeat Senator Downey.”’ (Clarence Martz, with the Tahoe Forest ¢ ’ after a few days here on business, there was much belly grumbling among the teetotalers:and the most the nightly back yard trips to their Chic Sales.

That which we call a rose, (By any other name would smell as sweet. lar elections but if the day he said it. For while the state at large is holding an election on May 16, Los Angeles County, with its big voting army, is staging an electoral battle of names that smells anything but voters involved. On one and the same ballot Los ‘Angeles County voters will be puzzled to find the names of Fred Houser and Fred Howser—one running for United States senator, the other for district attorney. If that confuses them, and_ they take a look at the other candidates, again they’ may think they are sesing double, for there’s a Dockweiler running for ,U. S. senator—and another Dockwéiler running for district attorney. The Dockweiler seeking election to the United States senate is Mrs. Irene Dockweilet, widow of John F. Dockweiler, who was district attorney at the time of his death a year ago, while the Dockweiler now running for district attorney is Henry I. Dockweiler,’ his brother. And the Houser seeking to be U. S. senator is Lieutenant Governor .Fred Houser while the Howser running for dis-trict attorney is the incumbent, Fred being unrelate appear to be almost identical twins on the ballot, : While this merry mixup may seem at first glance, to. be more amusing than important, actually it may have a vital bearing on the political fortunes of all the candidates involved ——and on the outcome of both the state wide race for tHe United States senate, and the Los Angeles contest to select a county prosecutor. If some ankind opponent hurls a brick at District Attorney Howser, for example who can explain it away if it dents the’ political sombrero of senatorial candidate Houser? And the Same might apply in the case of the Dockweilers. To Lieutenant Governor Fred Houser, making his bid to be U. 8. Senator, the confusion might well Prove to be serious, for hia chief strength is in his home county of Los Angeles and he must pile up.a chance to win. On the other hand, his outstanding opponent for the Republican senatorial nominationa—Juetus Craemer, the Orange County publisher—is strong both in rural Caliarea and is free of name entangle-' ments. Justus Craemer’s friends, as a: matter of fact, are capitalizing on his name with the slogan: “Let’s Have Justus in Washington!” All of which proves that maybe there's something in a name dfter all—Shakespeare to the contrary notwithstanding.
