The Bulletin Editorial Page Saturday, April 25, 1959 Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin—A-7 This Is Your City This is your City, This is Anaheim. Comparative figures can be of great interest in setting a trend.

Total number of industries in the city 160 Santa Ana is the closest competitor that Anaheim has in the growth picture and excels the city in one bracket, that of total sales tax yield, Santa Ana chalking up a total of $1,510,418.26, for the same period of the report. It is interesting to note that the two cities were reorganized at the same time with Santa Ana starting off with a population of 2,000 persons. Over a period of years Anaheim has gradually surpassed them in every category even though Santa Ana had the advantage of being the County Seat. Anaheim's growth has been the result of the far-sightedness of its businessmen, land owners and industrialists. Realizing the potential of the area, over a period of years, there has been a concerted cooperative effort by these factions to entice selective industry into Anaheim which has been the basis for the growth. And, some say we have just started. The Shadow Before Coming economic events are casting a very disturbing shadow before them. The shadow is shaped like a hangman's noose—the noose of government controls that strangulate our free economy. The shadow now is cast by price controls. But if price controls come, can full controls be far behind? Not if basic economic laws mean anything. The trouble is that people in government seem unable—or unwilling—to face facts, particularly the fact that a 30-year binge of deficits, especially in peacetime, creates an almost incurable habit of inflation. The only way to live with inflation, of course, is to write off the free economy and install full government controls. On the other hand, the cure for inflation is economy. But while economy is the taxpayer’s tonic, it is bitter medicine for the control-hungry. And so long as those to whom we entrust the handling of our economic welfare and our future livelihood refuse the medicine, we taxpayers can expect to pay the penalty. It is about time WE instituted a little control—not the fool’s gold control of prices or wages, but 14-karat control over inflation happy government.

TAXES GOV'T BUREAUS Alexander Your Birthday by Stella SATURDAY, APRIL 25 — Born today, your middle name is likely to be "Caution," and although you are determined to succeed, you are in no particular hurry about anything. You believe firmly in that "slow and steady" will win any race. And with you it seems to work. While others are rushing around, you set a steady pace, your eyes on the goal. You are firm and just and there are times when you appear more stubborn than merely determined! Don't let this basically good characteristic deteriorate into pig-headedness. You may appear calm and collected to outsiders, but underneath there are tempestuous fires burning. If they are not given a proper outlet, they may break out at some unexpected time. You are emotional and demonstrative in your affections when in your family group. An early marriage to someone who understands this duality in your nature could be a fine influence and bring about a balance in your life. You want "all or nothing at all" from the one you love. Your physique is not as robust as you think it is, and you should be careful to get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Your nervous energy is high and you work at a high peak of concentration for long periods at a stretch. Learn to take time out for a change of pace. Relax at intervals and you will get more accomplished in the long run. Among those born on this date are: Justin Edwards, reformer; Guglielmo Marconi, wireless inventor; R. A. Selligman, economist; Oliver Cromwell, English statesman.

ARIES (Mar. 21-April 20) — Don't try to do anything of a business nature today. Attend usual Sunday devotions. Relax. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) SUNDAY, APRIL 26 — Born today, you have vaunting ambitions and a great deal of determination. You are willing to work hard, but you fully expect your efforts to be well-rewarded. You believe that all conscientious workmanship is worthy of excellent hire! You are eminently practical. You enjoy being a power in your community; you know money can bring power—and you want money! The stars have given you artistic talents, but it is likely that these will become submerged in your business-like personality. You probably will indulge in the arts as a hobby unless you can find a way to make them really pay. Actually, there is another side to your personality which is quite different from the serious, executive, managerial type. You are quite a different person at home. You are much beloved by your own family, and it is there that you will display your kindly and sympathetic traits. You will do anything for those you love. And if anyone can be said to influence or "boss" you, it is the one you love. You enjoy a happy home life, love children and will want a family of your own. Wed while quite young, for it will give the rest of your career-life a real meaning. Among those born on this date are: Henry Morgenthau, banker and ambassador; Owen Williams Richardson, physicist; John James Audubon, ornithologist; Martha Finley, author of the "Elseie Dinsmeyer" book for girls. FROM The Mail Box Dear Sir: Again we write to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful assistance you and the members of the staff at the Anaheim Bulletin have given us during our successful bond campaign on March 24, 1959. Many people have told us how impressed they were with the editorials and the information that they read in the Bulletin during the week before the election. Especially important was the impact of the endorsements given the bond campaign. It was a real credit to the power of the Bulletin in this area. Congratulations on the award given by the California Teachers Association to the Bulletin. It was thoroughly merited. Cordially yours, Raymond B. Terry, President Board of Trustees Paul W. Cook Superintendent The Magnolia - Cerritos Citizens Committee wishes to express their thanks to the city of Anaheim for the forthright way they ran the Magnolia - Cerritos Annexation election. We are extremely happy to see this issue resolved by such a splendid turnout of the citizenry at large. Members of the Magnolia-Cerritos Citizens Committee are most willing to meet with any civic-minded groups to discuss further enlightenment for both fractions on any of the questions at hand to the final satisfaction of all concerned. The most outstanding single factor that showed itself during these issues involved, appeared to be that so few voters realized the protection of their rights that our state code allows, that all citizens have their choice by vote whether or not to become a part of any long periods at a stretch. Learn to take time out for a change of pace. Relax at intervals and you will get more accomplished in the long run.

Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — There was calm in the room, and the big man held his rectangular face in a state of stoicism. But under the table, Christian Herter's knuckles released and tightened against each other. The new Secretary of State twirled his thumbs, and a few times he swallowed hard. Facing the firing squad of Senators, though there were to be no verbal bullets, was a big day in the life of the man who began preparing for this moment 58 years ago. He was six years old then, in Paris, studying a language which would assist him as a multilingual in helping mold the affairs of the world. (Herter also speaks German.) There was no question that the Foreign Relations Committee would confirm his appointment—and, as it turned out, the Senate later in the day was to approve unanimously. 93 to 0. Yet, the man's eyes danced hard and blue against the bright lights, poised for any jabbing, personal query. That Herter was the man of the hour was seen in the size of the crowd that wiggled into every corner of the hearing room. I found a little spot right on the bare cork floor at Herter's feet. For 50 minutes, the Secretary ignored the open pack of cigarettes on the table before him. It was when Senator Wayne Morse (D., Ore.), in a low, growling tone, dug searchingly into the man's objectives that the New Englander finally lit up. One by one, the Senators had started, since he had to excuse himself to keep a dental appointment. Then Morse challenged: "I want you to state on the record the course of action the United States should follow with respect to letting loose on the world nuclear bombs in case we find ourselves involved in a limited war with Communist countries." In a voice cultured, bland, deep, Herter replied only as a man learned in the profound complexities of world affairs could have replied. At first, the answer was cradled in diplomatic velvet. But, then, Morse said directly: "What if our planes were deliberately shot down in the Berlin corridor—would that be an act of war?" The reply was direct: "Yes, I would consider that an act of war." For a while, it seemed that Morse appeared to be quizzing the Secretary of War, instead of a man of State. Perennially dubious, Morse must have surprised himself, for he blurted: "I want to congratulate you. There is quite a bit of merit in what you say." Then he caught himself: "But I'm not agreeing with you. In fact, I disagree with you." Throughout, there was the overtone: Would our new Secretary of State show firmness in his dealing with the Reds? His statements answered this affirmatively. I noticed that when Herter told of his intentions in the Berlin crisis, his right hand rose above The Lighter Side by Frank Eleazer WASHINGTON (UPI)—It turns out that the Daughters of the American Revolution haven't forgiven the United Nations after all. It's more that the DAR ladies have put the U.N. on probation for a year. According to Mrs. John H. Pace of Bethlehem, Ohio, chairman of the resolutions committee we reporters had it all wrong. When her committee came in without a resolution like last year's, which called for withdrawal of this country from the U.N., we figured the DAR had decided to let up on the international statesmen. "Not at all," says Mrs. Pace. "A resolution once enacted remains in full force and effect until repealed. We haven't proposed to repeal it." Some of the other ladies hinted discreetly that maybe there was a little more to it than this. After all, some resolutions, like the one commending J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, get re-enacted yearly. Gets Off Light Any way you figure it, the U.N. this year is getting off light. Only its children's fund (UNICEF) gets a rap on the knucks, on the ground it spends a lot of its money on kiddies in Communist countries, promotes a world welfare state, and (through the greeting cards it sells) tries to take Christ out of Christmas. So I guess they can rest a little easier at the U.N. headquarters now, as long as they don't do anything rash like letting Red China in as a member. The DAR ladies of course are still against that. They are still dead against world government too, but the resolution on this doesn't even mention the United Nations. Mrs. Pace laid her resolutions before the DAR's 68th Continental Congress at Constitution Hall with a warning that propagandists and disruptive influences threaten our society and nation. But she said the 62 members on her resolutions committee were on to this danger. She said they considered 457 proposed resolutions, as submitted by members and chapters, and came in with 20 "based on proved facts, not opinions." The delegates seemed to like them. They interrupted Mrs. Pace 11 times with applause as she read them. Some Old Standbys There were some old standbys among the resolutions and some surprises too. Efforts to promote metropolitan government — in some places they call it "metro" — were deplored as a step toward world government. Personality tests in the schools were viewed with suspicion. The ladies were asked to come out against the farm program, for right-to-work legislation, against double jeopardy, for internal security and immigration and passport controls, and against so much federal spending. I'll say this for the Daughters. Of the more than 3,000 here this week, there were a larger proportion on hand at 9:30 a.m., to hear reports like Mrs. Pace's, than at any other convention I ever saw. Maybe the punch they served at their parties the night before had something to do with this. Pure juice. CROSSWORD PUZZLE Answer to Yesterday's Puzzle ACROSS 1. Nod 2. Pierce 3. Walk 4.
