Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY—France has experienced a third revolution. First was the bloody French revolution which saw the fall of the Bastille, an event which has been commemorated yearly on July 14. One wonders whether even a perfunctory gesture was made by the new rulers of the French nation to honor this anniversary, generally considered to be the birthday of democracy in France. The next great upheaval was that of the Commune which ended the reign of the Napoleons after the war of 1870, and ushered in the French Republic. Last week this republic was officially buried by a National Assembly, in a move to try to curry favor with the dictator conquerors of France. Of the new regime, Marshal Petain is nominally the head, Petain whose valorous cry of "They shall not pass" made stirring history at Verdun in the first World War. Petain, who in the second World War changed his clarion call to a feeble "unlock the gates to the conqueror." But Petain is generally believed to be nothing but a puppet. Worse; he is only the puppet of a man who is him- ANAH VOLUME LXX AN Prado Basin Land Cost Established By Jury Verdict Property Owners to Receive $58,000 from County For 11 Parcels Seven owners of property in Riverside county which was condemned by Orange county as part of the Padro dam site will receive awards totalling $58,000, a River-side superior court jury decided Monday night. Titus a trial which opened last March 28 is closed. Recipients of the awards decided upon by the jury are Frederico Chavez, Fred Botiller, and Botiller's five sisters, Zenaida Botiller, Concia R. Robles, Isabella Chavez, Celeste D. Otis and Clara D. Dominguez. Their properties were located within the boundaries of the old Yorba estate, an early-day Spanish grant. Slightly Above Offer The figure arrived at by the jury is only $10,823 above the highest off ermade to the property owners by Orange county, but is $80,639 less than the lowest demand of the property owners. The case included more than 300 acres of land, divided into eleven parcels of property. The GOBBEES GETS FUEL—With the fall of France, Dr. Goebbels, head of the nazi propaganda machine, should have no lack of curry favor with the dictator conquerors of France. Of the new regime, Marshal Petain is nominally the head, Petain whose valorous cry of "They shall not pass" made stirring history at Verdun in the first World War. Petain, who in the second World War changed his clarion call to a feeble "unlock the gates to the conqueror." But Petain is generally believed to be nothing but a puppet. Worse, he is only the puppet of a man who is himself the abject servant of others. For Pierre Laval, the swarthy, scheming Moorish politician will pull the strings controlling his nominal leader, and Laval has long been the tool of Mussolini. Pierre Laval was the organizer of the Stresa conference. It was he who, in cooperation with his English sympathizer Sir Samuel Hoare, proposed the Hoare-Laval pact designed to make Mussolini a present of Ethiopia. Laval was an enthusiastic supporter of the Munich surrender, the entire policy of appeasement has long been his religion. Under the influence of Laval the spirit and virility which was the soul of France languished and died, and with it died the French Republic. Yes, France has passed through another revolution, but this has been a revolution of the few. Here has been no sudden and spontaneous uprising of a people aroused. This new revolution has been the work of the few to whom financial power and political office was much more important than the freedom of their homeland. And that even this abject degradation may be insufficient is clearly forecast by the words even of those who gave their approval to the tragedy of Vichy. Herriot said that there must be no hesitation, for the existence of France was in the balance. But, grimly amused, the spokesmen of Berlin and of Rome said their future course would not be swayed in the least by the change in French official heart at so late an hour. No, it is most unlikely that there was any celebration on July 14, 1940. More probably the people of France in the secrecy of their hearts devoted the anniversary of their freedom to prayer that their slavery may not long endure. PREPAREDNESS IS Urged by Pastor Spiritual preparedness is more vital than the admittedly important problem of preparedness for defense, Rev. C. H. S. Hunziker, pastor of the Grace Lutheran church, declared Sunday night in his sermon at the union church services at the city park. He also warned that many of the events of today are pointing toward the final judgment, and said that that day shall come suddenly. The only way to escape is through repentance. Rev. George Busdiecker of Santa Ana served as liturgist for the service. The chorus, under direction of Samuel Hunziker, sang Molitor's "Praise Ye the Lord" with Mrs. Dorothy Dutton of Santa Ana and Beatrice Baumbach the accompanists. A vocal duet was sung by Shirley Kemp Dominguez. Their properties were located within the boundaries of the old Yorba estate, an early-day Spanish grant. Slightly Above Offer The figure arrived at by the jury is only $10,823 above the highest off ermade to the property owners by Orange county, but is $80,639 less than the lowest demand of the property owners. The case included more than 300 acres of land, divided into eleven parcels of property. The estimated valuations made by four individuel county appraisers ranged from a low of $32,433 to a high of $40,055. The highest combination of appraisals on the 11 items in these four appraisals gave the $47,177 representing the county's highest offer. Appraisals Vary Appraisers for the property owners ranged from a low of $145,800 to a high of $211,577 in their valuations. The combination of lowest appraisals on the 11 items amounted to $138,629. The apparent savings to the county will be reduced considerably, however, when the cost bill for the case is ascertained and added to the jury awards, officials said. The cost bill will include the salaries and fees of attorneys, engineers, appraisers and others who represented the county at the long trial. Superior Judge George R. Freeman presided over the trial. Tells of Loneliness In his letter he told of his liness, likening it to a "little all of my own." "All I need win," he said, "is mail—postcard letters or anything from my son of the Stars and Stripes." Private Wilson, in his commission, expressed the belief Adolf Hitler will not try to force on the British Isles, ad that such an attempt would result in his defeat. In that part of letter Wilson wrote, "Every says he's crazy. All I have to about that is if he does land it proves they are all right.

When the Nazis captured Warsaw, the city had been completely evacuated by the Polish government, and had further been reduced to ruins and gutted by innumerable fires. But Goebbels agents said they found many documents. We were asked to believe that numbers of compromising documents had been left behind by the Poles, and that these documents had not been harmed by the holocaust. Berlin some what naively expressed astonishment at the contents of many of these secret papers alleged to contain plans and agreements drawn up by the Polish and the allied governments. And then, with an almost staggering lack of logic, Goebbels said these plans were for, and the justification of, the German invasion in the first place. But that was not all, for the archives of Warsaw produced evidence to exonerate the Nazi onslaughts against Norway, and Holland, and Belgium. After that, it seems likely that even Dr. Goebbels realized that Warsaw had been somewhat overworked as a source of secret documents. Now, however, Nazi apologists can claim no less than the entire files of the French government itself as their mine of material. That Germany will make ample use of this opportunity was shown by the quick issuing of two (Continued on page 5) Sixteen Names on Booster Body List Newcomers to Anaheim last week as listed by the Chamber of Commerce were: Kenneth Hunt, 832 N.

Reich Seeks Part of Rorden Estate Judge West Acts to Prevent German Government From Receiving Bequest Adolf Hitler won't get his hands on the money left by a Fullerton woman if Superior Court Judge Franklin G. West has everything to say about it. Judge West took action Saturday which will prevent the Reich for a time at least, from receiving part of the estate willed by the late Mrs. Marie Rorden of Fullerton to her brother in Germany, which assertedly has been turned over to the reich by the brother. German Consul George Gyssling from Los Angeles appeared in Judge West's courtroom with a document which purporedly surrendered control of the $5000 legacy of Joseph Togel of Sternberg, Germany, to his government. The legacy was part of Mrs. Rorden's $40,439 estate. The document surrendering the legacy was signed not only by Togel but by his heirs, and had been prepared in Germany on February 26, six days after the will had been filed for probate in Santa Ana. Martin Bandixen of Los Angeles, petitioner for probate of the will, contested Consul Gyssling's power of attorney, presenting Judge West a letter in German which withdrew the permission of at least one heir from the deal which would dhave given Germany the $5000. In addition, Judge West couldn't read the document anyway, and declined to grant power of attorney to the German consul, continuing the matter until September 13 for additional investigation. Judge West remarked upon the speed with which the German government had acted to gain control of the bequest and said he did not intend to release the estate to the heirs in Germany if it would be promptly seized by the state and devoted to war purposes.

Hunting Accident Takes Man’s Life Funeral Services Conducted Today for Victim of Unusual Mishap Last rites were conducted in Fullerton this afternoon for Gerald Ragsdale, 26, of Willowbrook, who was the victim of one of the most unusual accidents ever recorded in Orange county. Burial New Ordinances Are Adopted by Council Tuesday Fund for Capital Outlays Is Established; Fees For Bowling Alleys Cut Two new ordinances were adopted by the city council during an adjourned meeting Thursday night. The first authorizes the establishment of a fund for capital outlays for public improvements, and the second reduces the license fees for public bowling alleys. Ordinance No. 635 establishes the fund for capital outlays, as authorized under an act passed by the state legislature in 1937. It provides that "such fund shall be known as 'Special Fund for Capital Outlays' and it shall remain inviolate for the making of any capital outlays for public improvements and no moneys shall be disbursed therefrom excepting for such a purpose, excepting upon consent of the electors obtained as provided in said Act." It also provides that the city council may transfer to such fund any unincumbered surplus funds remaining on hand in the city at Takes Man's Life Funeral Services Conducted Today for Victim of Unusual Mishap Last rites were conducted in Fullerton this afternoon for Gerald Ragsdale, 26, of Willowbrook, who was the victim of one of the most unusual accidents ever recorded in Orange county. Burial was made in Rose Hills cemetery, Whittier. Ragsdale met instant death last Monday afternoon while on a hunting trip in Brea canyon, when he stumbled and fell, at the same time discharging the .22-calibre rifle he was carrying. The man's two young companions, Harold Ragsdale, 12, brother of the victim, and James W. Ficchenor, 13, of Compton, were walking immediately behind Ragsdale and witnessed the tragedy. Barrel Enters Mouth According to the account given by the boys to Coroner Earl Abbey, the older man was walking ahead of the two boys along a narrow cowpath in the Brea hills, and was carrying the rifle on his shoulder. As he suddenly stumbled, Ragsdale lost control of the gun when he attempted to regain his balance. The rifle fell in front of him, butt to the ground, and the barrel entered the man's mouth. The discharge, coming instantly, sent the bullet into the base of his brain. The boys rushed to a nearby ranch for assistance. Police Chief J. M. Pearson of Brea was notified, and he called Coroner Abbey to the scene. Ragsdale is survived by his wife, Helen Mae; a three-year-old daughter, his parents, five sisters and three brothers.

Under provisions of the ordinance, taxes may be levied upon the taxable property in the city for the raising of moneys for the fund, but no levy so made shall exceed the limitation imposed by the general laws of the state.
