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 AH FU Among the unclaimed bank deposits published the other day appeared one, in amount $57.38, under the name of Ah Fu who was a well known Chinese character in Anaheim's younger days. On each Christmas day Ah Fu was on hand at any home in the city where a dance and song would get a dime or even a few pennies. On Chinese New Year he would appear suitably bedecked for the occasion and put on a private celebration for anyone wishing it. He would solicit many return engagements. He acted as gardener for many residents. In this capacity he was the cause of many children's toys disappearing. Gaudy toys and balloons were his special delight. We remember as a small boy one triumphant return from a circus the proud possessor of a large, red, gas filled balloon. Ah Fu working in the yard admired this trophy greatly. He laid secret plans to take it home with him. Just at that time the string slipped from our fingers and the balloon sailed away into the clouds. Our reaction was one of extreme sorrow. Ah Fu showed his chagrin and desperate helplessness by exclaiming with much feeling, "Goose baby, goose baby." WHO PAYS FOR STRIKES? The great majority of American workers attend to their own affairs, strive for the fullest possible pay envelope and are happy to live in a country in which they have helped to develop the highest living standard in the world.

They may lose dividends; security) going to the department labor; a department of works to administer public welfare. The committee also suggested the department of interior be named department of constitution; that the President be power to assign to these departments, along general lines laid down by congress, all government's 90-odd boards reaus, commissions, authorizations and corporations which now independent existences; that "miniature independent governments" as the I.

WHO PAYS FOR STRIKES? The great majority of American workers attend to their own affairs, strive for the fullest possible pay envelope and are happy to live in a country in which they have helped to develop the highest living standard in the world. But occasionally groups of American workmen are persuaded to go on strike. What happens then? Who pays for strikes? First of all, the investors pay. They may lose dividends; their plant may lose contracts to a competitor; their investment is jeopardized. But usually, the investor has other sources of income and manages to get along reasonably well. Secondly, the community where a strike occurs pays. The earning power of those who make up the community is reduced and therefore consuming power is cut down. The grocer, the butcher, the baker, the doctor, the motion picture manager, gas stations and every other form of local business suffers in a strike. Thirdly, relatives of the strikers pay. Often they have to pull in their belts another notch to help the fellows who are running short. And then the wives and children of the strikers pay—not only in reduced food and clothing and opportunity but they pay the heavy mental costs of worry and fear. They fear prolonged poverty. They worry over debts. They fear the physical consequences of violence so often resorted to by strikers. And finally, the strikers themselves pay the heaviest bill of all. They lose time. Pay envelopes vanish. Hatreds are engendered and often the job itself is lost. Time lost in a strike may not be made up in a year’s work. It is a fair question to ask: "Is a strike worth the price?" Or isn’t peaceful discussion of employees and employer the better way? The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine FEDERAL OVERHAULING— WASHINGTON — “Now that we are out of the trough of the depression, the time has come to set our house in order. The administrative management of the government needs overhauling.” Thus in his message to congress, Franklin Roosevelt introduced his proposal of the most momentous change in United States government and politics since Andrew Jackson perfected the spoils system. Greeted by the public with indifference, by politicians and political observers with breathless amazement, the President’s retaries be upped to $20,000 a year, undersecretaries’ to $15,000, assistant secretaries to $12,000; that first-grade career administrators (unlike the ill-paid, temporarily-installed professors and businessmen whom the New Deal has been forced to draft) be given $12,000 to $15,000, and second-grade administrators from $8,000 to $10,000. To manage its new career service, the committee would create a United States Civil Service administration to serve as the government's central personnel agency, be run by a full-time administrator and non-salaried.

Thus in his message to congress, Franklin Roosevelt introduced his proposal of the most momentous change in United States government and politics since Andrew Jackson perfected the spoils system. Greeted by the public with indifference, by politicians and political observers with breathless amazement, the President's plan to overhaul the federal government was predicated on a thoughtful, persuasive report on Administrative Management prepared by three scholars whom he appointed last year: To his present staff of secretaries would be added six personal assistants who "would not be assistant presidents in any sense" but contact men between the President and his subordinates, charged with lightening the enormous Presidential burden of interviews and memoranda, rounding up and synthesizing information, relaying the President's decisions—yet never exercising power on their own account. "The merit system should be extended upward, outward and downward to include all positions in the executive branch of the government except those which are policy-determining in character." Thus the committee proposed to alter color and pattern of United States politics—draining political machines of most of their fuel, revolutionizing the calibre of government service. In emulation of Britain's full-staff of brilliant, experienced career men, the committee suggested that cabinet secrctors (unlike the ill-paid, temporarily-installed professors and businessmen whom the New Deal has been forced to draft) be given $12,000 to $15,000, and second-grade administrators from $8,000 to $10,000. To manage its new career service, the committee would create a United States Civil Service administration to serve as the government's central personnel agency, be run by a full-time administrator and non-salaried board of seven outstanding citizens. The committee proposed also to make the budget director the President's efficiency expert, charged with studying administrative performance, recommending transfer, creation, consolidation, enlargement or abolishment of executive departments, and the administration of a central division of information. To help avoid the wasteful and haphazard relief and public works program needed to care for the nation's jobless, the committee recommended a permanent National Resources board of five non-salaried patriots and a permanent career staff to co-ordinate the work of regional, state, county and city planning boards, and to advise the President on long-time policies of land, water and mineral use. Also recommended were the creation of two new cabinet departments: A department of social welfare to administer federal health, educational and social activities, federal charitable, corrective and penal institutions, and social security-on-the-basis-of-need (relief), with social security-on-the-basis-of-right (social secrec National Leaders Plan Gigantic Ball to Honor President and Raise Infantile Paralysis Fund The nation's biggest social event, the celebration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's fifty-fifth birthday anniversary, is set for January 30, with more than 5,000 communities throughout the country planning parties to raise funds for the philanthropy closest to the Chief Executive's heart, and for infantile paralysis sufferers. Colonel Honry L. Doherty, for the fourth year chairman of the national celebration, is being assisted by many of the country's foremost leaders in plans for the events. Among those on his committee are: Vincent Astor, Postmaster General James A. Farley, Ambassador Joseph E. Davies, Will H. Hays, Carl Byoir, general director, Colonel Edward M. House, Edsel B.

"PENDY" PAULS VALLEY, Oklahoma—Mrs. Emsy Jackson, Negro mother of two sons named Tonsilitis ("Tonsy") and Meningitis "Minny"), last week gave birth to a daughter whom she promptly named Appendicitis ("Pendy"). FIRST HALF YEAR— MADRID—As Spain's gory Civil War last week completed its first-half year with about 120,000 non-combantants and 80,000 militiamen of both sides butchered, New York "Times" Newshawk Herbert L. Matthews cabled from Madrid: "This correspondent for one would not be surprised six months hence to see himself seated before the same typewriter in the same place writing a summary of the first year of the war... All Europe has been drawn into the conflict and there has been a mass uprising more significant than anything since the Ruskariat rose in 1917... which has been around sides is indescribable question whether France land can keep out incidences they do not, there is steth that Germany and It bought off, or that troops will soon get in to counter-attack Franco back...

He had reopened the stables along the which George V ran was riding in sombras and Lancesters and American cars. He changed his policy racing to meet populace When George V died structured that his yach should be sunk unless wrapped bricks worth $200,000,000 were packed neatly in four mail coaches on a special nine-car train manned by crack machine gunners concealed behind drawn blinds. This done, the train chuffed off on its 530-mile journey, preceded by a dummy freight train several hundreds yards ahead. At Fort Knox next dawn, as Brigadier General Daniel Van Voorhis, fort commandant, and a motorized unit of the Seventh United States cavalry brigade stood by, canopies were put up at the doors of the baggage cars, and long army trucks backed up to be loaded with the 400-troy-ounce bricks. Convoyed by two combat cars, each truck then made its brief trip through a gate in a high steel fence to the rear door of the squat depository building where mint guards stood with guns poised. Once inside the $560,000 building, each $14,000 brick became the direct responsibility of amiable Chief Clerk Russell John Van Horne, whose gold is about as safe as human ingenuity can make it. Chief Clerk Van Horne's gold storage vault is a massive box 40 ft. by 60 ft., with top and sides of 25-inch steel and concrete, resting on a bedrock and enclosed by a granite and concrete building topped with a bomb-proof roof. An invading army landing on the Atlantic coast will have 600 rough miles to travel before it reaches Fort Knox. Common thieves will have to outwit and outfight a detachment of 24 mint guards in "pill boxes" at the building's four corners and the entire seventh cavalry brigade outside.

MERLE WEST'S ACME CLEANER 920 North Los Angeles Street Branch 562 West Center Street Anaheim, Calif., Jan. 28, 1987 Call to Honor Paralysis Fund sons wanted to race it. All four sons, including the present King, turned this offer down and the Britannia was sunk. But George VI lately revealed he is willing now to be a "Sailor King" like his father, is expected to take to yacht racing. British subjects last week heard rumors that Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, in behalf of His Majesty's government, had advised their young King-Emporer to grow a beard and thus complete his resmblance to George V. TROTSKY IN MEXICO— MIXICO CITY—Placed aboard a Norwegian tanker by officials who were tired of having him in Norway, Russian Exile Leon Trotsky, World Revolutionist No. 1, last week reached Tampico, Mex., where a luxurious special railway car and six permanently-assigned detectives sent by revolutionary Mexico's President Lazaro Cardenas waited to take him and Mrs. Trotsky to fiery Muralist Diego Rivera's spacious home in Mexico City's suburbs. Mexican Reds promptly massed in St. Domingo Square to roar: "Down with Trotsky who is living in the home of Capitalist Painter Rivera! We demand the expulsion of Trotsky from Mexico. Trotsky, the rotten, bourgeois-stalking horse, has already broken his promise to refrain from politics in Mexico and insulted the Soviet's government! Thus, while Mexican Reds protested Great Exile Trotsky's declaration last week that "Soviet bureaucracy is sabotaging the Spanish revolution in order not to frighten the French bourgeoisie" and "is aid ing the pilgrimage of United States Reds to the feet of the revolutionists, whom practical Russian Dictator Joseph Stalin blames for all Soviet conspicacies, mishaps and failures, had begun. Meanwhile, as loyal Communists continue to cry "Trotsky Must Die!", the normally screaming Russian press last week ignored Trotsky's "insults." Official Russia has promised countries recognizing the Stalin regime that it would not attempt, or permit anyone on Russian soil to attempt to foment the "World Revolution of the Proletariat." But this pledge binds no "enemies" of Stalin in other lands. Hence Trotsky's glamorous presence in Mexico, close by wavering Latin-American states, is viewed as an ideal Red set-up.

"GROW A BEARD" LONDON—Still trying to gladden his government's heart by being as little like his abdicated brother, and as much like his father as he possibly could, Britain's King George VI had by the end of his first month on the Throne last week shown himself more inclined to rural Sandringham's solid virtues than to the glitter of London night clubs. He had reopened the Royal racing stables along the lines on which George V ran them. He was riding in sombre Daimlers and Lanchesters and not in slick American cars. He had even changed his policy about yacht racing to meet popular demands.
