Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers BURN A LIGHT AND STOP A BURGLAR Of late months many cities have been faced with perplexing problems. Floods, sit-down strikes, shootings and under-nourished children have complicated the life of many communities. Anaheim, not to be out done, has had a plague of robberies. In fact, we have had some dozen or so burglaries. We have yet to have an arrest or conviction. Now before we get the idea that our police department should be the recipient of a lot of brickbats let us remember that we as good citizens are all in a measure responsible. The police department is working twenty-four hours a day in effort to apprehend these as well as other law violators. They should have the co-operation of every law abiding person in town. Every questionable character seen lurking around at night should be immediately put under the surveillance of the police. In this duty most citizens are lax. Yet it takes but little effort to step to a telephone and give the desk sergeant the information. There is another form of simple burglary insurance which we believe everyone, whether in the business house or the home, should carry out. It is the easy expedient of leaving a low wattage electric bulb burning. There is no question but that a light would deter many burglars from making an entry. The cost of burning a ten watt bulb day and night for a month would be less than twenty-five cents. Truly a negligible amount for the protection given. We citizens should put our collective shoulders to the wheel and help rid Anaheim of this crime wave. Let us help the police to solve committed thefts and make futureburgers and guitars in the evening. After midnight the plant superintendent appeared at the door, announced "All of you fellows are fired! Then 50 state police arrested all of the strikers under warrants for trespassing, marched them to police court where they were released without bail. Next day the strikers picketed, the plant operated peacefully. In Santa Monica, Calif., when 345 of Douglas Aircraft company employed 5,600 employees on the third day of a sit-down refused to retreat when indicted for "forecible entrapment and occupancy," 350 police and sheriff's deputies surrounded the plant, brought up machine gun ordinarily set up a Red Cross dressing station. The sit-downer promptly armed themselves with wrenches, rolled airplanes to windows so their propellers could blow tear gas out of the plane. Then National Labor Relations Board's regional director Dtownie Nylander appeared to hold hearings, urged the strikers to give up. The 345 sit-downers were carted to Los Angeles county jail released without bail. At Northrop Corp., a Douglas subsidiary 200 sit-downers then walked off rather than risk indictment.

The MARCH OF TIME BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine "WHEN I RETIRE" WASHINGTON — In a bulletin handed to the press by his Secretary Steve Early, President Roosevelt last week denounced as "false" and "hostile" reports that he would stump the country on behalf of his plan to appoint six members to the supreme court. A stumping expedition for the League of Nations by President Woodrow Wilson failed, left the bad after-taste of an unpopular issue. Such a tour by Franklin Roosevelt might be construed as an admission that the fate of his court plan was precarious. Hence the President prepared to plead his case this week in a radio "fire-side talk," chief arguments in which were last week foreshadowed in a paragraph of quasi-direct quotation secured in an interview by the New York "Times" No. 1 Washington Correspondent Arthur Krock: "When I retire to private life on Jan. 20, 1941, I do not want to leave the country in the condition Buchanan left it to Lincoln. If I cannot, in the brief time given me to attack its deep and disturbing problems, solve those problems, I hope at least to have moved them well on the way to solution by my successor. It is absolutely essential that the solving process begin at once." Thus the President implied that talk of his running for a third term is untrue; that his chief argument for his court proposal will be a repetition of that used in his Lincoln. If I cannot, in the brief time given me to attack its deep and disturbing problems, solve those problems, I hope at least to have moved them well on the way to solution by my successor. It is absolutely essential that the solving process begin at once." Thus the President implied that talk of his running for a third term is untrue; that his chief argument for his court proposal will be a repetition of that used in his message on the state of the union two months ago: Democracy must take all steps necessary for its very preservation. This Franklin Roosevelt interprets to mean that laws deemed necessary by the President must not be declared unconstitutional by the courts. One important contention was entirely missing from the President's brief as put to Krock: his original and now badly mangled argument that more and younger judges were needed on the supreme court to help keep it abreast of its work. SIT-DOWNS SAT ON— The sit-down strike, suddenly boomed by the General Motors trouble last December as a new phenomenon in United States labor warfare, had by last week lost its surprise value as police and employers learned more about combatting it. Tried on hard-boiled firms not so utterly dependent on public sympathy as General Motors and therefore able to take a sterner course with workers who seized company property, the sit-down strike was last week impressively sat upon in many places: In Groton, Conn., 107 of Electric Boat company's 1,900 workmen sat down, spent the day conversing pleasantly, strummed banjos ANAHEIM GAZETTE Hours in the evening. After the plant superintendent arrived at the door, announced: "you fellows are fired!" state police arrested all skiers under warrants for marched them to port where they were reeled without bail.

Y., 110 shoe-workers sat down on orders, later went home committee of 26 stayed in then arrived, promised the strikers light and bedding if they did no damage, played poker with them all night. Next morning they agreed to settle the strike by arbitration. Smaller sit-down strikes were disrupted by various means. In Philadelphia 60 sit-downers in a clothing factory were ousted by two policemen. In Decatur, Ill., 47 sit-downers in a wallpaper mill walked out when a sheriff threatened to oust them by force. In Los Angeles eleven sit-downers in a bakery quit, after the proprietor, with police aid, had prevented food being delivered to them and confined them for 48 hours to a diet of their own pies (12 kinds). SPY SENTENCED— WASHINGTON — One-time Lieut. Commander John Semer (Dodo) Farnsworth last fortnight threw himself on the mercy of a federal court by pleading "nolo contendere" to charges that he had conspired with two Japanese Embassy attaches to sell United States navy secrets for $20,000. Few days later he tried unsuccessfully to change his plea; and last week, grey and broken at 43, the bibulous and temperamental Annapolis graduate who was cashiered from the navy ten years ago was sentence to "... not less than four years nor more than twelve years in prison." Said the United States district judge to the only United States naval officer ever accused of turning spy: "Had we been at war, your acts would have been treason, punishable by the extreme penalty." Relieved of the diplomatic embarrassment of a public trial, the United States state department and the Japanese foreign office were further gratified when the judge avoided all mention of Spy Farnsworth's purchasers. 1915, Allied soldiers near Ypres saw a greenish cloud rolling toward them on a brisk wind from the German lines, were soon after gasping, choking and dying in their trenches, felled by chlorine gas, 168 tons of which were released that day over a four-mile front for the first mass murder effected directly by a chemical agent. Result: 15,000 casualties, 5,000 deaths. Possibilities of gas as a military weapon occurred as early as the United States civil war when "stink shells" to be used in 12-pounder howitzers were mentioned in a Confederate communique but never tried. In 1899, 24 nations, including Germany agreed to use no gas projectiles. The Germans claimed the chlorine attack at Ypres did not invalidate the agreement since the gas was liberated from cylinders, not shells, and it was only the failure of Germany's well-developed chemical industry to keep up with the terrific demand that finally aided the Allied victory. Last week the most comprehensive work on chemical warfare in English, by Lieut.-Col. Augustin M. Prentiss, appeared, describing minutely the status of gas as a weapon, pointing to future gas warfare. There are five types of was gases: Lacrimators (tear gas) and systematic toxic agents (blood poisons) are least effective, the latter because they disperse too easily in air. The former, of which 6,000 tons were used in the world war, have use in forcing early masking which lowers morale and efficiency. Lung Injurants — chlorine, phosgene (invented by John Davy in 1812), diphogene, chlorpicrin—cause water to pour in the lungs, "drowning" the victim. The phosgens accounted for 80% of the war's fatal gas casualties, but they are now controllable with masks. blindness, and no chemical gasmask but charcoal can still entering. Respiratory Irritants, wipe cause sneezing and vomit while not lethal, penetrate masks and caused them to be off, exposing victims to gases. Vesicants (mustard Lewisite) are blister-proof which penetrate clothing, huge red welts. Although produced until 1917 m caused 400,000 gas casualties third of the total.

UST A GAMBLE"—Pleased and relieved were the even "favorites" in Toronto's York Derby last week when they learned that the Ontario court of appeals had declared valu- the $500,000 bequest of eccen- cile Charles Vance Millar for the Toronto mother bearing most chil- dren during the ten years ending October 31, 1936. The court then decided that illegitimate children should not be counted, a ruling that came as bad news to Mrs. Pauline Mae Clarke, five of whose nine children were born after she separated from her husband. Resigned, despite the fact that her lawyer expects to appeal the decision, Mrs. Clarke declared: "It was just a gamble anyways as far as I was concerned. I had the children anyway and I have made a little money out of contracts through being in the race." On one point the remaining six mothers were agreed: "It's pretty near time the whole thing was settled." The baby race will be settled finally once and for all by a judge soon to be appointed by the court of appeals. CLEVELAND BUTCHER—CLEVELAND, Ohio — Anyone who throws a human corpse into the waters around Cleveland can be fined $50, sent to the workhouse for 30 days for violation of a health ordinance. But anyone thus polluting Cleveland waters would also likely be guilty of murder, would therefore be prosecuted under Ohio's murder statute instead of Cleveland's health ordinance. When they found the corpse of a woman—from which the head, arms and legs had been expertly cut—in Lake Erie's shallow waters near Cleveland last week, police announced that only the health ordinance could be used against the murderer because the corpse was unidentifiable. Admittedly without a clue and apparently in desperation, they hoped the buptcher-murderer would show himself when he learned that his punishment would be so light, would thus enable them to end the Cleveland torso murders, of which last week's was the eighth since September, 1924. Torso No. 1; an unknown female similarly butchered, was found at the same spot. The others five males and one female only two of which have been identified, were found in the desolate Kingsbury Run section, through which Cleveland's rapid transit line speeds prosperous Clevelanders to swank Shaker Heights. Correct this sentence: "My husband did the courting," said she, "and I did nothing to lead him."
