The Bulletin Editorial Page A-10—Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin Friday, April 18, 1958 Zoning Ordinance Stand Anaheim's much discussed, cussed, and variably desirable proposed zoning ordinance is still in the hands of the City Council. And, justly it should be until the voting public and those who will be effected by it are satisfied that it will do the job for which it is intended. Mayor A. J. Schutte and Planning Expert Simon Eisner are both right in demanding that the passage of the ordinance be delayed until all phases are complete and acceptable, that is to a majority or the greatest number possible. Mayor Schutte has the interests of the general public at heart. He is to be congratulated in his stand. This ordinance will "rule" the city in its growth and appearance for many years to come and the delay and the problems caused by the delay are of little import at this time. His stand that the controls written into the ordinance remain in the hands of those answerable to the voter and not be placed under city salaried administrators is to retain a republican form of city government; protecting the voter from a tendency toward bureaucracy so prevalent in all government today. Time is of unmeasurable value, use it wisely and it pays big dividends. This zoning is a must if Anaheim is to progress and grow in an orderly favorable economic fashion, but it must be right once it is adopted. remain in the hands of those answerable to the voter and not be placed under city salaried administrators is to retain a republican form of city government; protecting the voter from a tendency toward bureaucracy so prevalent in all government today.

Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — Remember the comedy of errors that hounded Mr. Blandings when he built his dream house? Well, that was tame compared to our Senators' multimillion-dollar extravaganza, the new Senate Office Building. The number of times our Senators, or their duly appointed representatives, changed their minds is, officially, one of the best-kept secrets on Capitol Hill. But I have the figure, a good fat round one. The total number of times that changes were ordered after the contract was let totals a shade under 1,000. One thousand times the builder had to tear up plans or tear down parts of the 10-story marble building to make the Senators happy. And they're still fumin'. Just how much all this mind-changing will cost the taxpayer, everybody's afraid to say. But it should add up to a pretty penny. Take the case of the fancy mail conveyor. This was to be the most modern of any individual mail delivery in the world. Original cost: $30,000. But after it was all set to go, the man from the Post Office Department came around and sadly shook his head. The conveyor wasn't good enough. So the conveyor was improved so that all mail comes from the Senators' floors through five chutes directly into the post-office hopper in the sub-basement. Final cost: $90,000. Who's going to pay the extra $50,000 bucks? The builder and Uncle Sam are haggling over this one. And about 20 other major expenditures brought on by mind-changing. There's talk the squabble will end up in court. Some changes were minor, like the time a Senator was escorting constituents around the $26 million building and bumped his head on a bronze wall fixture. He ordered all fixtures of that type be sawed in half. And they were. Putting up that new building was a grand idea. At least it has kept up with the trend of modern government. And that is, more space for everybody and then more everybodies to fill the extra space. The way Sen. Henry Dworshak (R., Idaho) put it, now that solons have two office buildings spread over the acres it requires more effort to do anything. He said it's a four-block walk to the Capitol, unless a Senator catches the shuttle-bus (they had to buy a station wagon for this), which is rarely there when they want it. Someday — perhaps not until next session — modern subway cars will speed our lawmakers to the Capitol chamber. Those plush new trains will be much wider than the old ones now scooting to the old office building. The cars will be wider to take care of the region where our Senators have been growing. But until the trains arrive, many of our Senators will be walking that four-block stretch, perhaps several times a day. And that's what's worrying me. If they walk off enough poundage before the trains are installed all that extra width in those cars will just prove to be a costly waste of space. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

KHRUSHCHEV Farmer McCabe The Reds are stirring the flesh Your Birthday by Stella FRIDAY, APRIL 10 — Born today, you have been given exceptional natural powers and have been marked for outstanding success, provided that you make the most of your talents. You have tremendous physical and nervous energies. You must be actively doing something all the time. If it isn't something constructive, it is apt to cause chaos. You have great interest in the affairs of others and like to analyze and make suggestions, even without being asked. You have the gift of literary expression and a keen sense of humor which at times can be quite devastating. In its polished form, it can be satire. Never stoop to sarcasm. This weapon is quite unworthy of you! You have firm personal beliefs, and you are not easily persuaded to change your mind, once it is made up. Independent in thought as well as in action, you dislike being told what to do. As a child, you need firm guidance, but it must be offered in a way that provokes challenge. You are not one to obey an order. An appeal to your love or to your sympathy is the one and only way. Among those born on this date are: General Lew Wallace, soldier and author; Joseph Pulitzer, newspaper owner and philanthropist; Frances Perkins, sociologist and U.S. Secretary of Labor; Wilbur Lucius Cross, historian and educator; Bernard F. Gimbel, merchant and philanthropist. To find what the stars have in store for you tomorrow, select your birthday star and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. Saturday, April 11 you are confident of your own powers, you can win out over dissention today. PISCES (Feb. 29 - Mar. 20) — Guard against an unexpected health upset. Physical well-being is all-important now. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Farmer McCabe The Reds are stirring the flesh pots of misery in Iraq, the Middle East, Berlin, Tibet and Hungary, in their ceaseless efforts to rule the minds of men. They're even trying to infiltrate the colleges and universities in our country to brainwash all the students they can — so when these students go forth to work in industry (and to teach) their dirty work will continue . . . truly, now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Farmer McCabe (all rights reserved) The Lighter Side by Frank Eleazer WASHINGTON (UPI) — People who are uncommonly sensitive about disclosing their private affairs may as well make plans to spend the night of Thursday, March 31, 1960, at home. That's the night the census taker will ask you what bed you are sleeping in, if not your own. It is not true, though, that he will ask your relationship to whoever owns it. And if he wants to know why you didn't stay home, feel free to tell him he should mind his own business. Whatever information you impart to Uncle Sam's nose counter, on this or other matters, will be strictly between yourself and him (or her as the case may be and very likely will). Spilling the beans can send him to jail for two years. A Know-All Survey It's all part of the 1960 decennial census (that means it happens every 10 years) and what the government wants to do is make sure it counts everybody, as the Constitution requires. Of course, they have broadened it out some this time. They will want to know about almost everything but the kitchen sink. Census Director Robert W. Burgess told analysts are taking over this job, does it?" asked Chairman John Lesinski (D-Mich.). Burgess assured him it didn't. And as for the people who will be taking it over, he said, about 200,000 of these will be needed, on jobs that will last mostly only two weeks. They will get maybe 8 cents per nose counted and if they don't spend too much time drinking coffee can expect to make $1.60 per hour. To get the job you don't exactly have to be a Republican. But it will sure help. THE Family Scrapbook Broomstick and Stocking Horse Even back in our grandparents' day, homemade broomstick horses were the delight of the young try. And it's no less true today. Here are directions that can be easily followed by mother, father, or older brother or sister in making a horse for the junior member of the family. Pack an old brown or black sock with dried grass, cotton or pieces of rag. Insert a three-foot length of broomstick, pushing it down into the heel of the sock and tipping the top of the sock to the bottom of the sock. Men live on. States rooted in Dulles.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) — If Capitol Dispatch by David Lawrence WASHINGTON — Konrad Adenauer's proposed resignation as Chancellor of the West German Republic is being hailed erroneously in some parts of the world, particularly England, as the fore-runner of a change in policy by his country. The cry is heard that he had been "inflexible" or "too rigid." These are the same words often applied to the posture of John Foster Dulles, the American Secretary of State. They are expressions which come from wishful thinkers who want to see the West make a "deal" of some kind with Moscow. These are the people who still have faith in the Communist promises or the Soviet signatures on agreements. It's strange how many influential persons on the western side seem to have been duped by Soviet promises even in the face of the numerous agreements made by Moscow that have been violated. Mr. Adenauer himself in his latest address to the people of West Germany says: "I have sometimes asked myself whether there are not somewhere some wirepullers who diligently try to damage relations between the British people and the German people, and for international political reasons." The Chancellor mentioned the criticism in Britain because of his unwillingness to make consessions to the Soviet point of view. There have been editorials recently in the British press attacking Adenauer. It seems incredible that, while the formal statements of the western governments are couched in phrases of unity, there is a tendency in the press to report here and there undercurrents of apathy are sadly deluded. Each concession we give him merely strengthens his position and prestige and the ability of the Soviet regime to continue its domination of the Russian people, whose friendship we seek." There are all sorts of theories about the Soviet purpose in stirring up the German crisis but, while the appeasers talk of satisfying the Soviets on the status of Berlin, the Communists are actively completing their conquest of the oil-rich regions of the middle east. As the world focuses on West Berlin, the real extension of Communist power is going on in the Arab world. When will the people of the western countries awake to the double game that the Soviets have been playing as they diverted attention from the middle east by creating a crisis in West Berlin? To appease this kind of adversary anywhere is to increase the danger of a general war. (Copyright, 1959, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) FROM The Mail Box Dear Sir, If Assemblyman Richard T. Hanna were asked: "Since members of the United States Supreme Court are, like yourself or anyone else, human beings not necessarily any smarter, more intelligent, more trustworthy or more fair-minded than yourself, or anyone else, do you think they might ever be disloyal or commit a 'breach of faith?' Would he not be apt to take The Chancellor mentioned the criticism in Britain because of his unwillingness to make consessions to the Soviet point of view. There have been editorials recently in the British press attacking Adenauer. It seems incredible that, while the formal statements of the western governments are couched in phrases of unity, there is a tendency in the press to report here and there undercurrents of appeasement. These involve criticism of Adenauer or Dulles or anyone else who stands in the way of appeasement. There appears to be a sort of ghoulish satisfaction expressed by the would-be appeasers that both Dulles and Adenauer will soon be out of the way and presumably deals can be made with their successors. Nothing could be further from the truth. Whoever succeeds Dulles as Secretary of State will be bound by the policies that President Eisenhower has formulated. The assumption that he was unduly influenced by Dulles is part of the insidious campaign to establish the point that a change would have been forthcoming long before if the present secretary of state were not at the President's side. Those who have adopted that line of attack will be disappointed. For Dwight Eisenhower has dealt with the broad principles of the world situation a long time now and will maintain consistently in the future the position he has held in the past. There seems to be a big misconception of what a democracy really is. It is being assumed, unfortunately, that the totalitarian idea, which vests in one man the power to make policy irrespective of the wishes of the people, is prevalent. Actually, Chancellor Adenauer would not have been able to stay in office as long as he has if he did not have the continuing support of the German people. Likewise, President Eisenhower would not have been able to persist in his policies of the last several years had he not retained the overwhelming support of the people as manifested in poll after poll of American public opinion. Men may depart, but principles live on. The policy of the United States toward Soviet Russia is rooted in bitter experience. Allan Dulles, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, said on Wednesday in a speech at New Orleans that Soviet agreements "are not worth the paper they are written on." He added: "The those who feel we can buy peace by compromise with Khrushchov." Dear Sir, If Assemblyman Richard T. Hanna were asked: "Since members of the United States Supreme Court are, like yourself or anyone else, human beings not necessarily any smarter, more intelligent, more trustworthy or more fair-minded than yourself, or anyone else, do you think they might ever be disloyal or commit a 'breach of faith?' Would he not be apt to take the 5th Amendment'? Does Mr. Hanna believe that it is asking too much of groups and persons given the privilege of getting exempted from paying taxes that they go to the little if any inconvenience of making it more certain that they are loyal to the one relieving them of the costly tax burden? Just how ridiculously far will people try to go in this something-for-nothing practice? If I was ever exempted from paying taxes, even if I thought that I should be, knowing that others then must pay more to make up for what I would benefit, the very least that I'd want to do would be to make it as certain as possible to the one exempting me, that I was loyal to it. I'd be glad instead of afraid to obligate myself by an oath of loyalty. I'd think there would be something seriously wrong with a government group, or anyone who'd give me something for nothing at another's expense and not even require that I assure them in as practical way as possible that at least I was no enemy of it. Assemblyman Hanna, according to a news report, seems disturbed about criticism of his voting to remove from the statute books two acts declared unconstitutional by U. S. Supreme Court. If he is going to let a court be his guide, does he even have to think for himself? Following what seems to be his practice, ANYONE could be as good an assemblyman. According to the newspaper report, Hanna said, "We voted to remove some deadwood from our already overloaded statute books." One was a law requiring churches to file a loyalty oath to obtain a property tax exemption. The other required civic organizations and veterans to do the same. Now if an assemblyman can think for himself, he should know that filing a loyalty oath costs nothing, but paying taxes can ruin. Shouldn't Hanna and other assemblymen use their votes for worthwhile purposes, such as to get rid of the deadwood tax laws? If they don't, should people ever vote for them again? Sincerely, R. J.
