ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 Orange County's Oldest Newspaper HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers SAVE THE BEACHES When an initiative measure is prepared and submitted to the people which gives them something and does not ask them for something in the way of a bond issue, assessment or increase in taxes, it would seem well worthy of consideration. Especially when the measure is designed to reduce taxes! This phenomena is rare indeed. Therefore, the measure, known briefly as one which prohibits Tideland Surface Oil Drilling, and which will appear on the ballot in November election, should be of interest to all citizens. Primarily, the measure was designed by far-seeing citizens of the state, to provide revenue, without cost to taxpayers, for extending and maintaining the state parks and beaches. The framers of the measure, however, found that revenue could also be produced for the very worthwhile purpose of reducing taxes as well as carrying out the State Park Commission's highly regarded beach and park program. In addition to its revenue producing features, the measure also protects natural beauty and recreation areas of the state, especially the beaches and state parks which are so extensively enjoyed by the state's citizens. The measure prohibits tideland oil well drilling and also prohibits pollution and all forms of interference with bathing, fishing and navigation. The revenue producing feature of the measure is decidedly interesting in that for perhaps the first time in the state's history, it provides that the state receive a share of its natural wealth. The revenue would be raised by permitting the state to receive royalty from oil and gas developed from state owned oil pools which would be drilled by a process called slant-well drilling from the uplands. also protects natural beauty and recreation areas of the state, especially the beaches and state parks which are so extensively enjoyed by the state's citizens.

TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California When intimidation of workers by picketing and mass demonstrations fails to incite farm labor disasters, start "boring from with!" Join the Grange, the Farm Bureau, the Farmers' Union, or one of the farm cooperatives, and organize "progressive groups" around the Communist Party members in their locals! These organizations (the established, recognized farm groups) must become "the mass organizations" of rural Communists! Such are the latest orders to California Communists, seeking to join the flames of bitterness and hatred among California agricultural workers—as broadcast in the Western Worker, official organ of the Communist Party. An open challenge to California's statewide farm organizations, the Communists' "starttegy campaign" is boldly outlined as a plan to gradually take over the farm organizations and make them part of "a united front" to fight against the common enemy, finance and capital. Under the caption, "Tasks of the communist Party Among the California Farmers," the article in the Western Worker — cryptically signed "By O. P."—outlines the plan of action, in part, as follows: "Our section committees and units have three tasks of major importance: First, they must establish locals of the A. F. L. agricultural workers' union wherever possible. The Communist "call to action" then continues: "The question of a Farmer-Labor Party (apparently designed to be Communist-controlled) must be uppermost in all present and future tasks in agricultural communities and small towns. This must be built on the basis of united front action of farm groups, trade unions and certain organizations of the petty bourgeoisie. It must have as a central task the weaning of the small farmers from the influence of the two old parties. "The demagogy of the New Deal must be broken down." The power of leading farmers, "in the cooperatives and farm organizations, must be broken. As the influence of these big farmers and local business men is smashed through exposure of their role the Farmer-Labor Party can and will be biult." California farmers who believe in decent, law-abiding American government—and California farm workers who want the right to earn their living, unmolested by paid agitators—will not let the Communist challenge go unanswered. To be forewarned is to be forearmed! And California's statewide farm organizations, dedicated to the welfare of the farming industry, have already taken steps to "keep their house in order" and guard against "the program of quiet penetration" which would culminate in riots and bloodshed and the overthrow of not only agriculture. In emergency cases outright grants are made for subsistence. The drouth has brought a great increase in loans and grants, as the Resettlement Administration co-operates with other agencies in meeting subsistence needs, providing feed for livestock, buying up of livestock where feed costs are high, and furnishing for next year's operating expenses. BEST SECURITY Resettlement loans are secured by liens on crops and by mortgages, but "the best security," the Resettlement Administration relates, "is the character of the families selected." To insure long-time benefits," continues "Resettlement's account," "farmers receiving such aid co-operate in drafting plans for diversified crop production and for modern home management. Thus the evils of reliance on a single cash crop are avoided. Loans thus far total $77,176,-624, while grants of $15,425,047 in all have been made. Well over 635,000 cases in all have been afforded aid. When co-operative farm associations aid in rehabilitation, loans are made to these organizations, too." SCALING DOWN DEBTS Where debts and mortgages are based on unreasonable evaluations," "Resettlement" comments, "The Resettlement Administration brings together debtor and creditor for the scaling down of debts to the benefit of both parties." Parenthetically, I doubt it; big landlordism seems to me to be gobbling everything. However, says "Resettlement," "Overburdened farmers can work again, while creditors are really acting to protect their incomes."

L. agricultural workers' union wherever possible. In certain cases it may be also admissible to encourage these workers to join, the nearest Grange or Farm Bureau center to strengthen an existing militant group. Second, organized progressive groups must be built up around (Communist) Party members in vocals of the Grange, Farm Bureau or Farmers' Union. At present a good share of our rural Party members are not in these. These organizations, now that the United Farmers' League has been liquidated, must become the mass organizations of the farmers through which their economic and political struggles can take form. These organizations will be the basis for a genuine Farmer-labor party among the farmers." Third, serious attention must be given to the trade unions in the smaller communities. Often these bodies are not so bureaucratically controlled as they are in the larger cities. United fronts between these groups and farm organizations can be organized as soon as progressive groups are built up in the Grange and Farm Bureaus." The article then advises Communist workers that "the Grange is the best organization in which no work because its members are mostly small and middle farmers..."

Yawn Yawson, local tired man, says: "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today—it off until day after tomorrow." U.

SYNOPSIS Princess Olga of Sweden, who is in reality a stranded American showgirl posing as royalty to get a film contract, meets King Mandini, the Concertina King, on board the S. S. Avigon bound for America. Mandini is crazy about the Princess but in order to keep up pretenses, she treats him coldly. Darcy, a blackmailer, attempts to shake down Mandini on his past prison record. When the latter kicks him out of his cabin, he goes to the bogus Princess and manages to extricate money and a ring from her. After the ship's ball, the Princess returns to her suite to find Darcy dead on the floor. With the aid of Benton, his pal, Mandini transfers the body to an empty stateroom. Meanwhile, a group of international police chiefs en route to a New York convention, are searching the ship for a runaway murderer, Merko, who has booked passage in the name of Petroff. Mandini and the Princess are questioned by the police. CHAPTER VII Americans say, ve bury the hatchet." "I hope you don't bury it the way your great grandmother did," he answered as he shook hands solemnly. Before she could reply the Purser approached the group. "Good morning, Your Highness—Lady Allwyn—Mr. Mandini," he said. "The Captain's compliments — Doctor Steindorf has solved the mystery. He's going to announce the name of the murderer in his stateroom at eight o'clock and he has requested Your Highness and Mr. Mandini to come to his stateroom five minutes earlier." "Did he say why?" inquired King. "No sir." "It is a most peculiar request—but we will come," said the Princess. At exactly 7:55 that night King knocked on the door of Steindorf's cabin. Evidently it was unlatched for it swung open at his touch. As he entered he beheld the body of the German crumpled across the table, a pair of scissors protruding from his back. Mandini knelt beside Steindorf, liquor, downing highball highball and finally get around to relating events in youth when she was a fa Broadway actress. ". I married the second in Glasgow," she was wandering on. "I don't quite remember—possibly because it was a cold winter." A knock at the door interrupts her. The Princess answer stood rigid for a moment, turned back to her friend and nounced dully: "Steindorf is He never spoke." After a dreary pause she added. "C bye, Hollywood—Hello, Broo! It's the finish, Gertie! Everything we've been working so far...". "I can't see why," Lady trude was belligerent. "Y innocent. Truth crushed to shall rise again." She hiccupped then rushed on: "Pardon And that recalls my biggest cess. I played it for two ye nineteen-five and six — Against All.' Best third act written. I played a young Dess—sweet and pure, who been unjustly accused of su delinquencies. At the end of of Benton, his pal, Mandini transfers the body to an empty stateroom. Meanwhile, a group of international police chiefs en route to a New York convention, are searching the ship for a runaway murderer, Merko, who has booked passage in the name of Petroff. Mandini and the Princess are questioned by the police. CHAPTER VII Although they had spent a bad night neither King or Benton showed it when they turned up on the verandah deck the next afternoon and engaged in a game of ping pong. The musician was trouncing his friend easily when he happened to catch sight of an emerald ring on Benton's little finger. "Where did you get that?" he demanded. "That cost me a thousand bucks." "How much?" "Five hundred." "Come on." "I found it." "Found it! You took it out of Princess Olga's purse." "I didn't." Benton lowered his voice. "I took it out of Darcy's pocket." "Give it to me.' King examined the ring carefully and found the inscription. "Wanda Nash," he muttered thoughtfully, and slipped the jewel into his vest pocket. "Come on. I saw the Princess and Lady Gertrude go down to the gymnasium. I want to have a talk with them." When he got downstairs he found Her Highness, in a bathing suit, sculling on a rowing machine and Lady Gertrude, a hip-popotamus in gym clothing, bouncing up and down on a mechanical horse. The older woman shut off the machine at once. "In justice to Her Highness, I must explain about last night," she began without preamble. "You know, of course that Darcy was a blackmailer. No doubt you've assumed that he was blackmailing Her Highness. "Her Highness?" King acted surprised and hurt. "Nothing, young man—nothing could be farther from the truth." She paused for dramatic effect. "It is a most peculiar request—but ve will come," said the Princess. At exactly 7:55 that night King knocked on the door of Steindorf's cabin. Evidently it was unlatched for it swung open at his touch. As he entered he beheld the body of the German crumpled across the table, a pair of scissors protruding from his back. Mandini knelt beside Steindorf, who was still breathing laboredly and demanded sharply: "Who did it? Can you her me? Who—did it? The detective tried to reply, but spoke in incoherent German. King straightened up, trying to decide his next move. As he did so the Princess stepped through the doorway. "Give me a hand," commanded her friend. She stepped forward obediently, but before she reached the body Captain Nicholls and the four other detectives entered the cabin. "Get the surgeon," snapped Lorel. Then kneeling beside Steindorf he asked: "Who was it, Doctor? Was it Paul Merko?" "Passports!" gasped Steindorf. He mumbled a few more incoherent words, then suddenly lapsed into unconsciousness. "Pardon, Monsieur," said Lorel, rising and turning to King. "When you came to this room, you saw no one else?" "No." "Merci, Monsieur," he smiled graciously, then added: "In the United States you served a term in prison, did you not?" "Not for murder," was the quiet answer. "May I suggest that Her Highness and Mr. Mandini be excused while we conduct a thorough investigation of this room," Cragg spoke up. He looked at them coldly, then added. "Return to your cabins. You will, of course, be prepared to answer any questions that occur to us after our investigation." Lady Gertrude took the news hard. That is, she resorted to hard "I can't see why." Lady trude was belligerent. "Y innocent. Truth crushed to shall rise again." She hiccuou then rushed on: "Pardon And that recalls my biggest cess. I played it for two years nineteen-five and six — Against All.' Best third act written. I played a young Dess—sweet and pure, who been unjustly accused of su delinquencies. At the end of marvelous third act my accu were gathered in the castle brary. Let me see . . ." She rose a trifle unsteadily began producing herself in big scene. "I entered upstage right." suited the action to the w "Walked center and took sta my right foot slightly behind left heel, as one does to de authority." She swayed a bit she assumed this pose—I loo from face to face. No h 'Gentlemen,' I cried. 'I'm Duchess of Ravenbury. I dem to know of what you dare to cuse me'—with my arm extended palm pointed downward—you, not upward in a plea gesture. Hey, where are you ing?" This last remark was directed to the Princess who was walking out on the show. "I'm on my way to see the tain," was the grim but val reply. (To be continued) OUTSIDE LOOKING IN That Cleveland convention itively brought out four different classes of people who have a p acca as a remedy for the that all you. It looks as though the people are determined to h die the affairs of the governm In summing up the candidate one of the major parties receive a reception likened to a dull seening thud, while the other didn't even get a look-in, and picture was not hanging on wall. "In justice to Her Highness, I must explain about last night," she began without preamble. "You know, of course that Darcy was a blackmailer. No doubt you've assumed that he was blackmailing Her Highness. "Her Highness?" King acted surprised and hurt. "Nothing, young man—nothing could be farther from the truth." She paused for dramatic effect. "His victim was I—myself. Years ago, in my youth, I was indiscreet." She swept out her hand in a dramatic gesture and accidentally started the horse. "Oh, blast this thing," she snapped. Then dropping back into the grand manner. "By some foul means Darcy became acquainted with this youthful indiscretion. I was married at the time—great names were involved. I have long since been absolved by my King and my church. Truly, the woman pays." She started to weep, reached for her handkerchief and started the mechanical steed once more. "The scoundrel came to us last night and demanded more money than I possessed." Lady Gertrude resumed when quiet had been restored. "When he grew nasty Her Highness came to my rescue. Stripping a ring from her finger she fung it at the fellow and bade him begone forever..." "And now you want me to retrieve it before the detectives find it," grinned King. Turning to the Princess, he bowed grandly. "Please don't worry, Your Highness, that ring is as good as in my pocket right now." "Your confidence is contagious, Mr. Mandini," she smiled as she extended her hand. "As you prepared to answer any questions that occur to us after our investigation. Lady Gertrude took the news hard. That is, she resorted to hard encing thud, while the other didn't even get a look-in, and picture was not hanging on wall."
