Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. RS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers ULLERTON DEDICATES NEW FOUNTAIN Barring postponement because of inclement weather, our sister city of Fullerton invites us to attend, upon Friday evening, the dedication of its fountain at the northern entrance to the city. Built at a cost of $20,000, the fountain will add charm and beauty to the state highway which runs from Whittier through Fullerton and Anaheim thence southward through Orange county. Officials feel, and rightly, that it is the most beautiful thing of its kind in the entire west. Lighting effects are such that, at nights, an ever-changing rainbow of colors will pierce the darkness and illuminate the silver streams of water shooting skyward from the artistically constructed stone base. The fountain is, essentially, a creation of our neighboring community itself. It was conceived by its council, planned by its own engineers in conjunction with others, financed by government funds obtained by local government officials, and built by local labor. We congratulate Fullerton upon its dedication. The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Nowsmagazine Roosevelt stood on her bridge waving a blue and white scarf—Argentina's national colors. BRITISH EMPIRE— LONDON—After months of ignorance resulting from the self-imposed censorship of the British press, loyal British subjects last week learned for the first time of their King Edward's attachment to American-born, twice-divorced Wallis Warfield Simpson, learned of his intention to marry her. In northern England, the obese cheery Bishop of Bradford assailed King Edward in words applicable either to His Majesty's keeping company with Mrs. Simpson or to the Sovereign's skimpy attendance at church: "In his public capacity at his Coronation he stands for the English's people's idea of Kingship! (The King) needs the grace of God . . . We hope he is aware of his need! Some of us wish he gave more positive signs of such awareness." In reporting the Reverend Bishop's remarks, the Provincial "Yorkshire Post" did not mention Mrs. Simpson by name but opened the censorship breach sufficiently for the London "Times" to "thunder" at the King next morning—still without mentioning Mrs. Simpson. Then London's "News Chronicle" became the first paper in the kingdom to name the King's intended wife. As censorship thus broke down headlines screamed, crowds milled frantically, buying London papers so fast that presses whirled at top speed could not keep up with the demand, and politicians in the house of commons, thinking public reaction was hostile to the The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Nowsmagazine AMERICAN IMPERIALISM BUENOS AIRES—Having but recently been humiliated when his son, Liborio, was deported from Brazil as an undesirable Red, Argentina's President Agustin Justo was last week again embarrassed when Son Liborio uprose in the hushed marble hall to the Chamber of Deputies just as President Roosevelt was about to speak, shouted from the topmost gallery: "Down with Imperialism!" Tactfully the audience burst into cheers to drown out the echo of these insulting words, as Argentine Foreign Minister Dr. Saavedra Lamas craned his neck to catch sight of the offender—and army officers dragged him out of the hall. But President Roosevelt unperturbedly waved aside the interruption, began: "Members of the American family of nations, My friends . . . Hastily the delegates clapped earphones on their heads to hear his words simultaneously translated into Portuguese (for Brazilians), French (for Haitians), and Spanish (for other Latin Americans). Loudly they applauded when he declared: "Can we, the republics of the New World, help the Old World to avert the catastrrophe which impends? Yes, I am confident we can . . . Let no man or woman forget that there is no profit in war." That night President Roosevelt dined officially at Government House. Next noon Agustin Justo and 73 others lunched officially at the United States Embassy, heard Franklin Roosevelt give assurances that he would do his best to have modified the quarantine restriction which keeps Argentine meat out of the United States. In gratitude for this assurance, the Argentine Co-Operative of Meat Producers sent six swine, six lambs, six beef tenderloins and a choice assortment of veal kidneys to the cruiser "Indianapolis" as a parting gift. Ten thousand soldiers presented arms and many times that number of Argentineans turned out in a soaking/rain as President Roosevelt and Justo motored to the dock in a shower of sopping flowers tossed to the roof of their car from balconies along the way. At the waterside President Roosevelt stopped to shake hands with the Argentine chauffeur, who beamed broadly at the unexpected honor. After a genuine bear hug aboard the "Indianapolis," the two presidents parted, and as the cruiser moved off-shore Franklin Attractive NEW LONG DISTANCE As censorship thus broke down headlines screamed, crowds milled frantically, buying London papers so fast that presses whirled at top speed could not keep up with the demand, and politicians in the house of commons, thinking public reaction was hostile to the King, scampered to the bandwagon of Britain's peers and Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, who appeared unalterably opposed to any union between the King and Mrs. Simpson. Thus began for Britain a hectic week of waiting while the King made up his mind while Prime Minister Baldwin and the royal family, went through a series of conferences, while rulers daily spread that King Edward VIII would abdicate and marry Mrs. Simpson, that he would give her one of his lesser titles and contract a morganatic marriage with her, or that he would insist upon making her queen and thus force the resignation of Prime Minister Baldwin's cabinet. By week's end minds were confused, nerves frayed, not only in England but throughout the empire. Crowds of Britons loyal to the King thronged London streets chanting "The King is right, Baldwin is wrong! . . . We want King Edward! . . . Flo Baldwin! . . . God save the King! Ninety M. P.'s, impressed by the popular demonstration, hastened to join Winston Churchill's newly formed "King's Men" party. Anxious cables flashed from the dominions to London. Then, Mr. Simpson, frightened but composed fled by night to the villa of her American friends, Mr. and Mrs. Herman L. Rogers in Cannes on the Riviera, putting through frequent phone calls to the King. Finally, on December 10, to hushed house of commons and an anxious empire were read the momentous words of the first voluntary abdication in history of British Monarch: "I, Edward VIII, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions Beyond the Seas, King and Emperor of India, do hereby declare my irrevocable determination to renounce the throne for myself and for my descendants."

My desire is that effect should be given to this instrument of abdication immediately. "In token whereof I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of December, 1936, in the presence of the witnesses whose signatures are subscribed." TOWNSEND INDICTED— WASHINGTON—When Dr. Francis E. ("Pension Plan") Townsend cried persecution and stormed out of a house investigating committee room last spring; the house boldly voted to charge him with contempt, then discreetly let the matter lapse until last month's elections destroyed the old pensioner’s political pretensions. Last week a grand jury indicted Dr. Townsend and former aides Clinton Wunder and John B. Kiefer, who, taking the doctor’s advice, refused to appear before the committee. Penalty for conviction on this rare charge came one to twelve months in jail, $100 to 1,000 fine. As Dr. Townsend, not averse to publicity-making martyrdom, announced in Los Angeles that he would go to jail before paying his fine, Washington legal authorities said he would probably have made choice, would likely get a jaunt sentence with his conviction. PEEK PIQUE— WASHINGTON—So bitterly odds with his brain-trust associates in 1933 was AAA Administrator George Nelson Peck that ANAHEIM GAZETTE stood on her bridge in blue and white scarf—its national colors. EMPIRE— ON—After months of igressuring from the self-censorship of the British naval British subjects last named for the first time of Edward's attachment to a-born, twice divorced Harfield Simpson, learned mention to marry her.

Eventually leaving the New Deal's service, stubborn Peek removed himself completely from its good graces when he plumped for Alf Landon. Last week, when he petitioned the board of tax appeals for redress, it was revealed that the bureau of internal revenue, rejecting Peek's claim that his lawyer's pay was a deductible business expense, had ruled it a personal expense, and slapped an extra $535 income tax assessment on his salary as AAA administrator. FISHING SISTERS— BASSETT, Iowa—When Farmer Jacob Zimmer, 63, and his son Donald, 23, married Sisters Grace and Dorothy Tripp, Bridegroom Jacob crowed: "Donald always liked farmin' like me and he likes music, too—plays the cornet and the tuba, both. On top of that he likes to fish as well as I do, so it's just natural we'd like sisters—particularly sisters who like to go fishin'." SMALL "GREAT" WAR—MADRID—The truth of Spanish Premier Fransisco Largo Caballero's statement that "A European war is now being fought on a small scale in Spain!" was last week plainly evidenced as 6,000 fully-equipped Germans wearing exact copies of Spanish military uniforms landed at Cadiz en route for Seville, Rebel General-issimo Francisco Franco's chief base in South Spain, thus bringing the number of foreigners fighting anxiety" over the influx of foreign military volunteers in Spain, heard reports that "Italian adventurers" were occupying the Balearic islands, drilling Fascist militia at Mallorca in readiness for an attack by sea on Barcelona. With all his new German troops more than replacing all rebels thus far killed besieging Madrid, Generalissimo Franco last week reported that he beat back the red militia offensive which began a fortnight ago against his capital Burgos, inflicting heavy losses. As 30 of his rebel planes dumped 1,200 high-explosive bombs over Madrid, killing hundreds, the city's defender, General Jose Miaja observed grimly: "The final battle must soon break to end the siege of Madrid one way or another." FRIGHT AND BITE—NEW YORK—"When you are frightened, nature pumps an undue amount of adrenalin through your system. This throws off an odor... which human nostrils fall to detect. Dogs, however, hate it. It rouses some of them to rage; in others it inspires only contempt. Many an otherwise offensive dog will attack when the odor reaches him." Thus in "Reader's Digest" last summer wrote dogman Albert Payson Terhune, most of whose readers had heard of "fear-smell" before, accepted his dictum without question. But last fortnight the American Medical association, replying to a request for confirmation from Manhattan's Dr. A. J. Reich, declared in its "Journal" that Terhune's "established scientific fact" was baseless, added: Many hundred times the normal output of parts generally agree that and other domestic beasts nize human fear just as he recognize it in each other. Some experts last week: Dr. Raymond Lee Dir Bronx Zoo herpetologist: indication of fear, either in mans or animals, is a temp for the adversary to pile in. William J. Largent, M Tex., cattle breeder: "If you afraid of a bull, he's more apt to attack you." George J. Peak, Winchester horse breeder: "A horse is child. He will take advantage a person who handles him uncertain manner. You can troil him better if you are afraid." Conceding the point for mestic creatures, Frank ("Em Back Alive") Buck decree "As a rule, 'man-smell' will be a wild animal run as fast as can."
