Editorial Page Friday, July 15, 1935 Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin — 11 Rough 'Going' The problem of going from here to there can really be rough in this modern day — even when the "here" is one side of the street and "there" is the other. Just walk across the street, you might say. Ah, yes, but not without reckoning with traffic and traffic lights. And if there are no traffic lights, it's worse still. And this becomes more complicated when you're going from one part of town to another or one community to another. City streets are no longer adequate to handle traffic at more than a snail's pace. And highways and freeways can't be built fast enough or wide enough to keep up with automobile production. The result is that the trend toward dispersal is continuing — and in many areas is increasing. Stores, banks, service companies of all kinds are not waiting for customers to come to them but are going where the customers are. Hence, almost without exception, the suburban areas near big cities have shown a faster rate of growth than the big centers themselves. It's hard to realize now that not so many years ago we had to go "up town" or "down town" or even to another town to get banking service or to buy most things other than groceries. Now all these are just around the corner or down the street. So while the traffic problem continues severe, it is lessened to he extent that "here" and "there" are being brought closer together.

UTT A first-class battle is shaping up in Congress this week. While it might appear to be a local argument, it is national in scope in that it could affect the complexion and control of the Senate and is a head-on clash between public and private power interests. The controversy is over who shall build the Hells Canyon Dam and power plant. Hells Canyon is on the Snake River, a part of which forms the boundary between the states of Idaho and Oregon. The Canyon is two thousand feet deeper than the Grand Canyon. 'The river is a tributary of the Columbia River and as such is a part of the Columbia River Basin which stretches into four Pacific Northwest states. BACKGROUND: In 1947 the Idaho Power Company, which serves southern Idaho and a portion of eastern Oregon, made application to the Federal Power Commission for permission to erect dams and power plants in Hells Canyon to develop between 579,000 and 770,000 kilowatts of power. At that time the Interior Department, which felt that its domain of public power was being threatened, interposed objections. Following this, legislation was introduced in Congress seeking to obtain authorization to federally construct a high dam. Extensive hearings were held and the Interior Committee unanimously postponed action. At the next session a new bill was introduced and was voted down by the Senate. So, twice Congress has rejected the Fed. FRIDAY, JULY 15 day, you are one of the friendly persons' imaginary capacity for being able well with all kinds of people equip you for some type in which you are constantly the public.

Following this, legislation was introduced in Congress seeking to obtain authorization to federally construct a high dam. Extensive hearings were held and the Interior Committee unanimously postponed action. At the next session a new bill was introduced and was voted down by the Senate. So, twice Congress has rejected the Federal construction of the high Hells Canyon Dam. Idaho Power Company again renewed its application. The new, Eisenhower administration withdrew the objection filed by its predecessor, and the Federal Power Commission ordered a full hearing of the company's application. This covered a year's time with 19,000 pages of transcript and 400 pages of exhibits. The legal staff of the Commission early this year recommended that permission should be given to Idaho Power Company to build a series of low dams in Hells Canyon. NEW BILLS: Seeing their public power plan threatened, Senators Morse and Neuberger as well as four power proponents in the House, introduced new bills calling for the federal construction of this project in hopes of blocking the final issuance of the permit. Hearings have been held in the Senate Interior Committee, and the House Committee is holding them this week. The whole question should be resolved on the basis of which plan of development is most beneficial to the people of the area and of the nation. In order to better understand this proposition, you must have collateral information regarding the relationship of the Snake River to the Columbia River Basin. The Snake averages ten million acre feet of flow into the Columbia. This is about nine per There are projects now under construction in the Columbia River Basin, excluding Snake River, for which it will take 900 million additional dollars of appropriation to complete. We appropriate approximately 400 million dollars a year for such projects through the seventeen Western States and of this amount the Columbia River Basin has been receiving 100 million dollars a year or 25 per cent of the total appropriation. At this rate, you will readily see that it will be nine years before the present projects under construction are completed. There are an additional billion and one-half dollars worth of projects now authorized in the Columbia River Basin for which no money has been appropriated. So again you can see that at the annual rate of appropriations for this area it would be twenty-four years before Congress should appropriate any money for the Federally constructed Hells Canyon Dam. There is already a shortage of electricity in the Pacific Northwest, and if the people in that area have to wait for the Federal Government to build these projects, there can be no further expansion in that area for twenty-four years. Due to the lack of space I will continue this report next week as I feel that it is important that the people in my Congressional District know the full story of Hells Canyon, for it will be one of the main national issues in the 1956 campaign. VISITORS: During the past week we have been very happy to see the following people from the District: Mr. Spence Redfield, Balboa; Mr. and Mrs. Larry Henderson and daughter, Roberta, Anaheim; Dr. and Mrs. H. T. Stroschein, and Guilbert, Gretchen, and Ted, Santa Ana; Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Tulene and daughter, Sylvia, Santa Ana, and Lt. Col. B. J. Powers-Oceanside.

HOLLYWOOD Clark Gable Now ‘Parent’ for First Time at 54 (Editor’s note: One of the biggest movie idols of all time went out of circulation again this week when he eloped with beautiful Kay Spreckels. What does this marriage mean to Clark Gable? Will the fifth try last? In a series of three articles, the United Press details the life and loves of the king of the film profiles.* By ALINE MOSBY HOLLYWOOD — (UP) — When Clark Gable married Kay Spreckels, he became a “parent” for the first time at 54, regained his lost feeling of youth and turned the tide of his slipping career. Friends of the popular king of movie idols believe, in short, that his fifth marriage will mean a new Gable. The graying actor kept to himself after the tragic death of wife No. 3, Carole Lombard, in 1942, except for a brief turn with wife No. 4, Sylvia Ashley. He hadn’t starred in a winning picture either at the box office or with the critics, since before the war. He was known in Hollywood as “conservative, nearly bashful,” a lonely figure who didn’t like marriage and preferred to be alone. The New Gable But since he and Kay rekindled an old flame a year ago, Gable has changed. A big movie queen once confided that Gable “would never marry me because I have children—and he doesn’t like children.” Yet the big-eared actor is overjoyed friends say: sharing sand.

TELEVISION VIEWS Leason to Use Converted Legitimate Theater Where He Began Career to Film New TV Series By JACK GAVER NEW YORK (UP)—From somewhere out in the Atlantic — or is the Pacific or Antarctic—the theater has masterminded, with result that Jackie Gleason will be right, back where he started — at the Adelphi Theater in West 54th Street. The vacationing comedian, who appeared into some watery state after his show on June 24 pulled the ocean in after him, managed to get word back at the new! new! Gleason program — 30 minutes weekly of the Honeymooners’ sketches for S — will be put on film via Mont’s newfangled camera condition called the “electronicam” them. The decision to use the DuMont-verted legit theater and DuMont’s new film recording system ended a month of speculation as to where the possessor of so-called 11-million dollar contract (with Buick) was going to his stuff in this town of acute studio space shortage. However, the Adelphi Studio is old home week to Jackle, the electronicam system which will get its first big boost this tie-up, is an attractive It was in the Adelphi that Jason started his rise in TV about five years ago when he was brought in to headline — temporarily — a DuMont program of the period called “Cavalcade of Stars,” eventually being taken over by CBS. DuMont claims that with the electronicam system a show can be filmed for little more than the cost of a live program whereas the usual type of filmed show is much more expensive. The cameras work exactly as though recording a live show, yet a second related lens puts the images on film simultaneously. A director can see immediately what is being recorded instead of having to wait for development of film. The director controls any number of cameras just as he does in a live show. When the shooting is over the film can be edited within a few hours, instead of days as with ordinary methods. The Gleason organization sees the process as giving his shows the quality of live TV with which he has always been involved until now, because they can be recorded exactly as they have been projected in the past. They will be filmed before audiences, within the normal air time and the actual audience reactions will go right on the sound track without editing. He was known in Hollywood as “conservative, nearly bashful,” a lonely figure who didn’t like marriage and preferred to be alone. The New Gable But since he and Kay rekindled an old flame a year ago, Gable has changed. A big movie queen once confided that Gable “would never marry me because I have children—and he doesn’t like children.” Yet the big-eared actor is overjoyed, friends say, at sharing his life with Kay’s two children from her marriage to sugar king Adolph Spreckels. When Gable went on location to Hong Kong for a 20th Century Fox picture, “Soldier of Fortune,” he bought pajamas for little Joan, 4, and Adolph III, 6. He returned from “The Tall Men” location in Mexico loaded with “charro” outfits for the youngsters. To his friends he frequently talks about Kay’s “wonderful, adorable kids,” so well behaved, as if they were his own. Gable also has “recaptured his youth,” his pals say. The vibrant Kay, 17 years his junior, is a witty, fun loving companion. Since courting her he bought a white, shoppy sports car. For the first time he is building another home away from the 20-acre ranch in nearby Encino which he acquired during his marriage to Carole Lombard. Gable bought land for a house near his and Kay’s favorite golf course, the Thunderbird at Palm Springs. His movie career has taken a turn for the better. Gabole asked Kay for advice on picking his co-stars. She sat in on previews of his two recent pictures at Fox studio. She even helped with the casting of other players in “The Tall Men.” Friends of Gable say “The Tall Men” is “the best thing he’s done in years. Now that his personal life is back on the beam, his pictures probably will be better.” Through Gable has been one of the most acclaimed picture idols of all time, his personal life has not won any awards. OTHMAN'S VIEWS Talbott’s Dream Of Air Academy Goes Up in Smoke WASHINGTON.—The stars, I regret to report, have left the eyes of Air Force Secretary Harold E. Talbott. His dream of a magnificent, spectacular, dramatic Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colo., has gone bloole. The keepers of the purse strings, namely the House Appropriations committeemen, said they weren’t either, going to give him $126,000,000 to build an aerial university building which looked to one of them like a canning factory. You doubtless have read about the decision of the lawgivers to hold up the cash; the interesting thing was why they did it: They didn’t know anything about art, but they knew what they liked and this didn’t include any long, flat-topped, glass-walled school buildings in the Colorado Rockies. They also had little faith in the starry-eyed Secretary’s promise to jump into the lake, personally, if the academy cost any more to build than he’d estimated. The proceedings started with the Congressional amateurs in architecture on one side of the table and John D. Merrill, of the celebrated architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, Chicago, on the other. It would be hard to heat buildings which were mostly windows, the Congressmen sand. Young-men oughtn’t to be forced to sleep in dormitories with glass walls like greenhouses. The snow might crush in those flat roofs. Rep. Jamie L. Whitten (D., Miss.) said the tentative picture THE DAVID LAWRENCE DISPATCH Claim Two Geneva Conferences in the Offing--One Is Artificial and the Other Is Real WASHINGTON — There are two Geneva conferences in the offing—one is artificial and the other is real. The make-believe conference is a fanciful picture unfolded as a result of a world-wide buildup by the press and radio in London, Paris, Washington, Peiping and Moscow. The real conference—the one that will actually happen—is far less spectacular. It is already announced that no decisions will be reached on controversial questions—only on procedures for future talks and studies. The people of the world, therefore, are far ahead of the actualities of such a session of then-heads of states. They expect far more than will be accomplished. Probably the most significant thing that will come out of the real conference is a decision to hold another one—possibly in Canada or some other part of the world six months hence. For, while the speculation in the press and among the so-called “informed sources” all over the world will continue to stimulate hope for a better turn of affairs as between the East and West. It’s going to be a long time before anything tangible will emerge that can be pointed to as a demonstration of a change in tensions. If “relaxation of tension” has been the objective, it already has been attained. Millions of people in the West already feel that there has been a change — that peace is here or maybe just around the corner. The realists happen to be in the minority and they have an annoying way of looking at facts just at the time when the wishful thinkers want to ignore or armies of Red China and Soviet Russia will dominate Europe and Asia. All the talk about a new security system of Europe which is to include Russia and her Satellites is just window dressing. It hides the real facts which are that, as long as the East is lined up against the West with vast armies, the potentialities of another war are there. The sparring at the Four-Power conference will be significant if only in revealing that back of the Soviets is a desire to frustrate if not abolish the North Atlantic Treaty organization and render Germany impotent. Back of the Moscow planning is military strategy—protection for the future and a weakening of the Western Allies, who, it might be assumed by the Kremlin, will be foolish enough to let down their guard and cut armament expenditure without any further signs of good faith from the Russians than verbal pieties. The theory that the four heads of state will sit down together and in all sincerity work out a program of peace is too fantastic to be accepted for the simple reason that it has not been preceded by any acts of good faith by the Communists. There is no compelling reason for them to make concessions of importance if they can maneuver the West into doing so. Propaganda - wise the Soviets go into the Geneva conference with many advantages. They have managed to scare the Western world with the fear that the next war will destroy civilization if H-bombs are used. Hence the logical thing, of course, is to get all nations to agree not to use them. That would make conventional arms and big armies Congressional amateurs in architecture on one side of the table and John D. Merrill, of the celebrated architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, Chicago, on the other. It would be hard to heat buildings which were mostly windows, the Congressmen sand. Young-men oughtn't to be forced to sleep in dormitories with glass walls like greenhouses. The snow might crush in those flat roofs. Rep. Jamie L. Whitten (D., Miss.) said the tentative picture of the school looked to him like a new canning factory. Before the gentlemen had finished with him, architect Merrill's brow was damp. And there was chairman George H. Mahon (D., Tex.) saying that maybe the school would look beautiful to architects, but not to ordinary folks who were not fortunate enough to be in Merrill's profession. "Or unfortunate enough," said he, feelingly. Came next Secretary Talbott's turn. Rep. Mahon quoted architect Merrill as saying he wanted to make the school dramatic-looking. "I want it dramatic," cried the Secretary. "I want it wonderful." Yes, said the gentleman from Texas, but he didn't want the architects building something rick. "Let us not let this thing get out of hand," Rep. Mahon added. "There are a lot of people who have stars in their eyes on this." "So do I have stars-in my eyes," the Secretary said. The starry-eyed Secretary went on to say that he personally guaranteed the school would cost only $126,000,000, even though the plans were not yet completed. "What if eventually it cost $100,-000,000 more than that?" inquired Rep. John J. Riley (D., S.D.). "What are you going to do?" "I am going to jump into a lake someplace," Secretary Talbott replied. The stars in the eyes of the Secretary began to dim when the statesmen called in Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous modern architect, for his opinion on the academy. He called it a thing. He said it was an abuse of modern architecture. He insisted it lacked soul. He said it was inhumane and also unhuman. He added that it would make a first-class super market. End of stars in the Secretary's eyes. (Copyright, 1955, by United Fea) DOCTOR'S NOTEBOOK By GLEN R. SHEPHERD, M.D. Heavy Earrings Can Damage Ears If your clip-on earrings are too heavy, they can split your ear lobes. The necessary tightness of the clip needed to hold extremely weighty earrings in place is what does the damage. This doesn't apply to most earrings, which aren't heavy. But fashion, at least in Great Britain, encourages heavier earrings. Already two cases of split ear lobes have been reported. One is a girl of 19 years old. She had worn clip-on earrings for five years. Her ear lobes began to split where the clip tips exerted greatest pressure. No pain or bleeding occurred. She continued that's what happens. With the soft ear-lobe tissues compressed tightly enough by the spring or screw clip, the skin and underlying tissue dies pahlessly from lack of blood supply. This makes the hole. Then the dragging weight of the extra-heavy earrings enlarges the hole downward, producing a slit. When the slit reaches the outer edge of the ear lobe, it becomes most disfiguring because the two parts of the ear lobe can flap separately. As Dr. McLaren suggested, this possible damage to the outer ear ought to impose some ceiling on the weight of earrings - but fashion is fashion. He also reported another two Farmer McCabe Got the Woman a Garbage Grinder here awhile back. Only cost ninety dollars, as the salesman pointed out. Howsome ever, after five months' use, I calculate that thing eats up ever a hundred dollars worth of grub a month. Facts is, we ain't had a good meal of "left overs" since we've had the thing...

Center Phone KE 5-3741 This doesn't apply to most earrings, which aren't heavy. But fashion, at least in Great Britain, encourages heavier earrings. Already two cases of split ear lobes have been reported. One is a girl of 19 years old. She had worn clip-on earrings for five years. Her ear lobes began to split where the clip tips exerted greatest pressure. No pain or bleeding occurred. She continued to wear earrings to cover up the hole, though this increased the length of the split because it continued the pressure. Finally her ear lobe was totally divided, with the back part of the lobe hanging down like a separate wing. For six months she hid her ears with a scarf every time she went out. Finally she visited her doctor. The ear lobes were completely repaired by surgery. The operation consisted of cutting out the scar while the woman was asleep under an anesthetic. Then the divided parts of the ear lobes were sewed together. The stitches were removed after seven days. Four weeks after the operation, only a small scar shows. The earlobe shapes are back to normal. The other victim, age 26, had been wearing spring clip earrings for more than eight years. The trouble began five years ago as small holes where the clip pressure was greatest. To hide the holes, she kept on wearing the earrings. This made the holes bigger. Finally a complete cleft resulted. It looked like a notch had been snipped out of each ear lobe. Surgical repair restored the earlobe shape to normal, leaving a fine scar. I would expect this to happen more often, but these are the first such cases reported. I've often wondered at the resistance of ear lobes to injury, clamped tightly by earrings as they are daily for hours at a time. These two cases indicate that only the heaviest of modern earrings require the clamp tight enough to really kill the earlobe tissue. As Dr. McLaren suggested, this possible damage to the outer ear ought to impose some ceiling on the weight of earrings — but fashion is fashion. He also reported another two cases resulting from sudden pull on earrings worn through pierced ear lobes. This is the same sort of thing as tearing a paper by sticking it with a pin and then suddenly down. That would produce a regular wound similar to any other. In other words, men, don't try to catch a girl by hanging onto her earring. You might wind up with just the earring and no girl. (Copyright, 1955 by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
