Many have asked us if it's true Santa Cruz was a west coast leader in gathering the scrap which, may and can jkeep out cars on the road.

Despite reports heard from ielsewhere, Santa Cruz remains atop the scrap heap be-' Jcause here the collections came spontaneously and from jback yards and attics. There had been no piling up of stocks to. make a good showing. THE people in this latest campaign have reacted splendidly. They have dug deep and far to bring up everything from girdles to old tires and they're still digging.

The collection system, based upon the major oil icompanies here, with officials leading the way, with gas as the receiving depots and oil trucks doing the (collecting are doing one of the finest jobs of its kind ever seen in this city and county. Theirs is a professional approach to a professional Isubject. They were already organized and needed merely tcr place already-founded machines, men and systems into operation, unlike the recent city scrap metal collection mi -r M. ''ML 3ljlM 44 1 itmsT it It i- mi if nif 1 1 lai by the grand jury to make a thor ough examination and audit of all county offices and departments, a complete report with many valuable recommendations. Judge Atteridge disclosed two excerpts from the investigator's recommendations relative to subjects now before the board: (1) Salaries: "That the board of supervisors and the grand jury consider the advisability of a survey to analyze, compare and equalize the salaries, and to study and compare the duties incumbent upon officers and employes with a view to adopting a balanced scale of salaries and hours (2) The County Hospital: (a) "That personnel be made available to keep and issue drugs and surgical supplies which should be kept under lock and key." (b) "That requisitions be used for issuing and accounting for drug and surgical supplies." The excerpts from the grand jury report came a little late, as Tuesday the board of supervisors raised the wages of six county officials for the new fiscal budget, and the deadline for changing salaries of county officials for the coming year elapsed yesterday.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY MEETS The Garfield Park Christian church Missionary Society will meet this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the church. Dr. Royal Dye, formerly a missionary in Africa, will be the speaker, and there will be an in teresting meeting. The officers of the coming year will be installed and tea will be served. PIIILATIIEAS TO HOLD MEET AT MISS GREENLAW'S Philatheas of the First Methodist church will hold their June meeting tonight.

This gathering will be with Miss Almacia Greenlaw at her home on Rigg street. which started from scratch and did an excellent job under 'the circumstances. I i Canning Sugar Ration To Await Fruit Season The local rationing board reiterated yesterday that people wanting sugar for canning should not apply for it until the fruit season is in. Canning sugar is only being allotted now for people canning cherries and berries, Administrator Henry Garrett stated. People wanting sugar to can apricots, peaches, must wait until that fruit season is in before applying for sugar.

It is necessary for people wanting sugar to bring their ration books to the local rationing board. FRANKLY, we believe that the smartest thing Roosevelt did was to accept the oil industry's offer to collect this rubber. Efficiency of that organization whose 'policies could actually have prevented all this trouble if heeded at the earlier proper time has been well estab-' lished during the first two days here when some 45 tons of scrap were collected. Needless to say, one of the most pleased here at present is the Chamber of Commerce, which some couple of weeks ago had wired the president citing figures and requesting that some means be taken to circumvent the national gas rationing problem since it would ruin the nation's resorts, including Santa Cruz. This plea' was answered in the scrap rubber collection.

In fact so pleased was the chamber yesterday that it was being seriously considered that another message of thanks be dispatched to the president, citing how remarkably this city had responded to the rubber appeal and siting that both ends had been met easing the rubber situation and saving the resorts through that one strategic move. Santa Cruz can be proud of Santa Cruz today. And let's keep at it! "He always puts up that Capital Washington, June 17. Now don't look, see if you can guess who said this: "Ours may be the tragic privilege of being in the greatest military crisis since Napoleon; the greatest economic crisis since Adam Smith; the greatest social crisis since the fall of the Roman Empire. But if ours is the tragic privilege, it is also the magnificent opportunity the opportunity to mold and form and direct this so ciety, which will lead to greater happiness, greater enjoyment of life a society which can lead to permanent peace." Who said it? Wallace? Nope.

Milo Perkins? Wrong again. One of those dreamy theoretical New Dealers who never met a payroll? Sorry. Well, it was the president not of the United States but of the United States Chamber of Commerce, Eric A. Johnston. fr it ir The Chamber of Commerce pres ident was facing the questions that are coming up as sure as taxes: When war production stops, what is to take the place of the artificial demand which has kept us all busy? Where will the 20 million people employed in war industries, the seven million military who return to civilian life, find employment? How will we repay a national debt which will probably be no less than 200 billion dollars? jonnsion saia ana an oi mis was in a recent speech he made in oammore mai Business wouia not permit another period of economic stagnation such as followed the last war.

He said it is a matter of private enterprise taking cognizance of social as well as economic needs. It is a matter, the Chamber of Commerce president added, of business realizing that we have un dertaken social responsibilities, of business providing employment for a majority of the workers when the war is over. Otherwise, he says, me uovernment will do it. xne inamper ot commerce pres- supervisors and the State Department of Social Welfare." Continuing, the Round Table committee reported: We have inquired about the regular meeting dates of ihe Probation Committee, as we wished to appear before them, but we have discovered that the aforementioned committee does not have a fixed meeting of a I I AUIR ENCUCIH -A I Ketcs and Views by Sutton Christian An unguided, unrestrained youth, bereft of parental interest and legal directional markers, is a danger signal in the march toward a better world. Today we have hoisted idealistic banners in a determined effort to whip totalitarian savagery.

For the past seven months all of us have been preoccupied by the exigencies of war. During that time we have had the continuing problem in many areas an increasing problem of negligence in adult relationship with some of the young people who will inherit the broad ened horizons of global society. 'I The world war we witness today is an affliction visited upon us primarily because of public apathy, dishonor, and disregard for law. In any nation where right prevails, one will find the roots of an honorable society in the individual, the family, the community, the state, and the nation. When public apathy is reflected in official and semi-official contacts with juvenile delinquents, we witness the basic force of a society that betrays democratic institutions.

One of the most heartening things we have witnessed in Santa Cruz is the aroused public interest in a move aimed toward correction of youth problems. Communications have been pouring into the Sentinel-News office from citizens offering suggestions on the juve nile problem. This interest, we feel sure, will be an inspiration to public officials who welcome lively expressions from their constituents. In our judgment, there has never been any document placed on record that packs more significance than the recommendations of the Santa Cruz Non-Partisan Round Table, filed Tuesday with the board of supervisors. We would not be so extravagant as to claim that it is an expert appraisal of every phase of juvenile delinquency, but we do emphasize with unrestrained enthusiasm that the Round Table has endeavored honestly and energetically "to present suggestions aimed toward improvement of the problem.

Over a long period, while most of us have been obsessed with war news to the exclusion of everything else, the women of the Round Table apparently have recognized the increased im portance of youth, the inheritors of the peace that will follow this war. Fifty women participated in interviews incident to preparing the recommendations. These women represent B'nai B'rith, Business and Professional Women's club, Native Daughters of the Golden West, Santa Cruz Council of Parents and Teachers, Santa Cruz Woman's club, and the American Associa tion of University Women. All of these organizations have a combin ed membership of 1300. Aside from being an intelligent report which should not be permitted to gather dust, the real im portance of the recommendations is the measure of public interest in legal procedure and in our institutions of government.

Here we find a vivid demonstration of the very thing which fosters alert ness ana responsiveness among public officials, and which keeps democracy alive and healthy. Public officials of Santa Cruz county have reason to be proud to serve a constituency so keenly in terested in supporting efficient agencies of law. After citing that detention of juvenile delinquents at the county hospital is at variance with the State Welfare and Institutions Code, and after expressing the opinion that the transfer of chil dren from this county to the Mon terey county detention home is im practical as a stop-gap agreement, the Round Table recommends the licensing of a private home in the northern end of the county and another in the southern end of the county, with specially qualified personnel in charge at a minimum monthly standby -charge, open at any hour of the day or night to receive juvenile offenders who need to be held pending hearing and disposition of case. The Round Table committee reported that it had been unable to obtain any written reports of the Santa Cruz county probation committee, and cited a section of the Welfare and Institutions Code which requires the probation committee to submit a rcport each year on "the qualifications and management of all societies, associations, corporations, and institutions, except state "applying for or receiving any ward of the juvenile court from the court of its county Each such report "shall be filed with the clerk of the juvenile court of the county for the information of the county." It also requires (Art. Ill, paragraph 604) that "the probation committee shall make to the court an annual report to be filed as a public document within thirty days after the thirty-first day of December of the calendar year for which such report is made, copies of which shall be filed with the county board of Be piElNnTljEHAsTic AZ I THtlPJA BfJ 6DR ADV pA amTpie "spa re ej?

MARCEL JOHNSON Soqucl and Pachcco sign before he Comment BY RAYMOND CLAPPEi BY RAYMOND CLAPFEB ident believes American industry can do the job. He gives five reasons: After the war we will have the largest plant capacity in history; we will have a larger source raw materials, both natural and synthetic, than we ever had; we will have the largest number of skilled mechanics and technicians ever available to any nation; we will have the largest backlog of accumulated demands for all sorts of commodities; the people will have accumulated savings with which to satisfy this backlog of deferred demands. Says Johnston: To use this vast store of machinepower and manpower, we must have a new order of co-operation between Government, management, labor and agriculture. A new perception by management of the problems of Government will be necessary, and new understanding by Government of the problems of management. "We're going to have to have statesmen in the true sense of the word in business and in labor and in agriculture and in Government." fr -r Sure, he's talking generalities like Wallace and Willkie and the rest of these people who are trying to think about what is coming.

We can only judge in a general way what some of the large ones will be like. In this period the important thing is to become as familiar as we can with the probable difficulties that will arise and be mustering the determination to deal with them and not merely submit to them.

The last time we allow- ed ourselves to be pushed around by them, Europe was pushed into economic collapse and then into war and we were unable to escape either one. In war production private enterprise has shown what it can do. Food, materials, machinery and men exist to provide everybody with a higher standard of living, that is, to make better customers out of everybody. We need only the ability to manage it.

But, allowing for the fact that the negro press exists in the interest of the negro people and waiving for the moment the fact that they constantly tend to maintain his segregation, these papers bear their responsibility with much less skill and care than the average white paper.

DIFFERENTIAL drained, cleaned, refilled with Richfield Gear Oil. i York, June 18 I should like to challenge one of the premises on which the Negro press of our country operates and from which it addresses its appeal to Negro people.

That is the premise that the white newspapers of our daily press are unfair to the negro in their treatment of news if not actually hostile to the colored nan. I say the white papers are not anti-negro but, on the contrary, scrupulously fair and sympathetic "and even sometimes play down news for fear that by the slightest overemphasis they may provide some Communist group (either race with an opportunity touch off a tragedy. Our white editors feel a grave responsibility Jand, while it may be, strictly a mistake to play down inews beneath its due degree of emphasis, it is, if so, a mistake in a good cause and out of good motives. In the last few months there have been two disturbances in the eastern area in which crowds of negro civilians broke into public disorder. In both cases I watched carefully the handling of the news in the white papers and decided that they had been guided by a strong desire not to be responsible for 'any aggravation of situations which were potentially troublesome.

In another case there was a row and some shooting at a military camp involving American soldiers, both white and colored, and here, again, the white press trod with the most patriotic and conscientious care, passing no judgment as to guilt or responsi bility but leaving that to the Army. v'r It is true that it is our custom to identify a negro in the news as a negro, or a Chinese or an Indian as such, and that is a point of much complaint by negro political leaders and publicists who insist that it is enough to say that the man or woman concerned is a man or woman. But they are inconsistent when they then appeal to the Supreme Court to set aside verdicts in criminal cases on the ground that there were no negroes on the jury lists. Moreover, there is never any objection to pointed mention of the fact that Marian Anderson or Joe Louis is a negro. I think the colored leaders are as badly puzzled and as inconsistent as the white journalist for certainly they do plead on racial grounds in the case of the all-white jury trying a negro defendant Just as vehemently as they object to the distinction between white and col- csr RIGHT REAR (.

TIRES checked for cuts and bruises; nails and glass removed; inflated; crass-switched for longer life. 10 SPARK PLUGS and colored men in cases of friction and take the side of the colored persons involved, often with injustice to the white man and the truth, and to the damage of inter-racial understanding. It is not right, it is not good journalism and it is not good Americanism to print a deliberate deception, thus arousing in the colored reader a feeling that a racial brother has been wronged, if the racial brother, in fact, was in the wrong. It is not supercilious to say that the negro press is inferior to the white press. Its inferiority is recognized by many negro leaders who cite the obvious reason that colored men have come to journalism only recently and have lacked opportunity, experience and encouragement.

But lack of cultivated skill and grace does not entirely justify the hostile tone toward the white people of some negro publications which say they are striving for friendly, prosperous relations between the races but incessantly are guilty of a hostility to white men which is never expressed toward negroes in our white press. Our white press is friendly to the negro. It is a large order but I defy any colored editor to cite a single paragraph of anti negro copy in a New York paper in the last 10 years. But we are busily occupied with many concerns and do not concentrate constantly on the aspirations of the colored man, which is the special mission of the negro press. And inspection of parallel stories on a given event, such as the housing trouble in Detroit, will show that the white press spoke with restraint and a sense of responsibility not to upset the peace while some negro papers expressed themselves in tones of anger and racial hostility.

California has ladybug farms, the insects being in demand as destroyers of plant lice. Therefore we believe that it would I be to the best interests of both! juvenile and adult probationers; for the Probation Committee to meet nn rpiriilar fivnrl rfnloc- (W this would facilitate the making of their reports, as required by law; and that this committee should be the established agency from which the public could at all times obtain authoritative information regarding juvenile problems." The report also explains that since April, 1941, the county has been without the services of an officially appointed probation officer, and that the work of the office has been carried on by an acting probation officer, assisted by a part-time secretary in Santa Cruz and a part-time secretary in Wat-sonville. Again, a section of the Code is cited: There shall be in each county the offices of probation officer, assistant probation officer, and deputy probation officer." Expressing the view that the Superior Court judge is overworked, the Committee recommended the appointment of a referee to handle juvenile court matters. It was suggested that, without the services of a referee, the Superior Judge's work could be greatly lightened by an active probation committee and an adequate staff of qualified probation officers.
