Superior Court, Decree No: 10023. :
: “GREATNESS”
F The depth of meaning of this word can hardly be measurae ed against the overall achievements of any one individual,
: but there does come a time when the word should be used in
connection with some person who, by his very actions, rises
to meet the obstacles before him. During the Kennedy trials
of last October, March, and this month, it appears from the
testimony that_our District Attorney is vitally interested in
the outcome. During the March trial, Mr. Berliner stated
that he did not represented Mrs. Kennedy for six months, yet
refused to take the stand and testify under oath that he had
not heard from her or her attorney within the past thirty or
sixty days. ; F
Many prospective jurors have testified that they had
formed an opinion about the case that would take evidence to
a _ Change. This has not made the task of defending his client
i any easier. But, regardless of all these obstacles, and because he believes in the innocenee of his client, Charles C. R.
Kennedy, Jr. (as does this newspaper) Mr. F. LSinclair has
conducted a masterful and brilliant defense. It is such a
man that gives a meaning to the word “greatness” and gives
credit to the legal profession an example so many could very
well accept as their rule of conduct. Nevada County could
use a few like Mr. Sinclair.

THE RENTS OVERDUE _.
If Senator Tom Kuchel has his way, tax-poor local governments in California may soon be able to collect long overdue “rent” from the, State’s largest single landholder—Uncle
In marked, and welcome, contrast to his stand against
the Administration’s proposal for private and tax-productive
development of Trinity River Project power, Senator Kuchel
has urged Congress to provide “in lieu” federal payments to
local areas in compensation for taxes lost, on property held by
the federal government. Almost 50 per cent of California’s
real estate is federally owned. According to the Senator,
ban" conservative estimates evaluate that land at nearly $300
on,
Under the Kuchel plan, cities, counties, school districts
and other local bodies largely dependent upon levies for their
revenues would be able to make claims for compensation on
the basis of demonstrated financial hardship resulting from
federal land ownership. This would create no undue burden
on the federal government, it is pointed out, because extenpew holdings in rural areas would not be subject to such
¢c s.
In championing this sensible and much néeded adjustment in the financial relationships between the federal government and local areas, Senator Kuchel has well earned the
hearty commendation of his constituents and his State.

Former President Harry 8S. Truman recently told .some
visiting foreign newspapermen that the United States does
not have a free press.
“T've never seen one.” Then Give-em-hell Harry tipped his
mitt. “I want to be a telegraph editor, or one of those blue
pencil men. Then I could get what I wanted into the newsWonder what Harry, as an editor endowed with that personally-motivated sort of censorial “freedom”..would have
blue penciled from the almost universally sympathetic expressions of good wishes and support that filled the nation’s
editorial columns during those numbing first days of his unexpected Presidency ?

SPITING ITS FACE?
The startling charge, made in a majority decision of the
State Public Utilities Commission, that the Southern Pacific
railroad “has no desire to compete with other railreads and
other common carriers for passenger service” seems to ignore
completely an obvious fact, to wit, that all railroads are in
business to make money. Hundreds of thousands of Americans invest in these lines in the confident expectation that
they will make every effort to do just that. :
For years the railroads have been trying against growing obstacles to wrest a profit from their passenger service.
They have spent millions on modernization. They are seeking relief from the twin economic burdens of costly union
featherbedding and discriminatory taxation. They are fighting for a chance to compete on equal terms with other, more
favored forms of transportation.
No railroad, any more than any other business, would
cut off its nose to spite its face.
Unlike most large industries, the railroads do not have
the freedom to eliminate unprofitable operations—even
though they would seem to be in a far better position than
are regulatory bodies to know when such operations are hopelessly unproductive. When they are prevented from doing
80, it is the shippers and consumers of goods shipped by rail
who inevitably make up the loss in the long run.

ne of the vital parts
am Will be the tabulated
results of a food survey which
was conducted among approximately 2,500 school children from
the fifth grade through high
“T don’t know what a free press is”, school. Many organizations, school
nurses, teachers and. individuals
have expended a great deal of
time and effort, under the direction. of Frances Head, home advisor, in gathering and recording the necessary data for this
program. Every child made a list
of all meals and snacks eaten in
a 24-hour period.
The purposes of the. “Food
Comes First” program is to point
up the necessity of a better understanding of an adequate and
balanced food intake, especially
among the younger people who
will direct the destiny of the
country in. years to come. Food
is first in importance to the individual, the state and the nation.
It may be difficult to believe
that in the community there are
many under-nourished children,
and this is not necessarily from
lack of funds or low wage bracket, but more to a lack of understanding of nutritional needs.
This is evidenced by the fact that
(1) too many people go without
breakfast; (2) too many people
eat unbalanced meals; (3) too
many people are just not. eating
enough, and (4) too many people
are overweight, many of whom
may harm themselves by dieting
without adequate knowledge or
supervision. All of these fattofs
will be discussed at the program.

Johnson, Second District, California, appeared recently before
protest a proposed contract between the Bonneville Power Administration and the Pacific Gas
, . and Electric Company for the sale
and delivery of power from the
Bonneville Dam in Oregon. —
He urged the committee to direct the Secretary of Interior not
to execute the intertie proposal
until further study can be made
by state officials of California,
Oregon, and Washington. State
officials previously had stated
they were trying to work out a
proposal whereby California
would have the benefit of the
power, and the Northwest the
benefit of added power revenues,
“The proposal by the Department of Interior is an obvious
attempt to stop the three states
from— entering
agreemet, and I urge that everything be-done to see that this
attempt to udermine the public
preference policy established by
the Congress is not successful,”
Johnson said.
Johnson pointed out that his
district embraces federal projects
such as Shasta Dam, Keswick
Dam, and Folsoni Dam ‘powerhouses as well as the Trinity
River powerhouse now authorized
as part of the Central Valley
project. He added that certain
municipalities which can and do
operate their own power distribution systems, such as the City of
Redding, have been informed
that no federal power is available to them even though they
have a preference under federal
law for the purchase of such
power.
“Whatever surplus or dump
power that is available from
Bonneville, in my belief, should
be put into the Federal Government’s power system, particular-.
ly in the summer months when
the stream flow in my district
is low. As I understand it, the
proposed intertie now under. consideration makes no provision for
government agencies, either federal or local, to use the private
compay lines that will deliver
the power to California. This is
wrong, and I hope proper action
can be taken to prevent the monanywhere in the world, for, be
it an individual, group of individuals, state, or nation, some-.
thing happens to stamp it out.
It is the irrefutable panacea governing the law of life.
As our loom slowly weaves our
carpet of life to take its place
on the floor of time, let us be
sure that the threads of good
ideals, sound accomplishments
from our fellow citizens are good
and strong and fair and great so
that those who follow can walk
in peace and without fear.
