Better Way Needed to Pick Judges in Elections
Los Angeles County voters face confusing ballots listing Superior Court candidates. Incumbents usually run unopposed, with few informed on merits.

Power behind the poultry inspection amendment in Congress
DREW PEARSON notes the Holland amendment allowing state inspections to approve poultry for interstate trade, risking dual systems and weaker federal oversight. He links this shift to Florida’s Doyle Conner and allies on Capitol Hill, including Ellender and Talmadge, amid industry opposition and a clash with Betty Furness over the White House stance. The move, backed by some agriculture powers, faces debate today as farm senators weigh longstanding meat inspection standards.
