Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton INDIAN COMPLEXITIES — When India is mentioned in this country, only too often the average person thinks of a vast mass of Hindu peoples struggling for independence while the British government in turn, delays, compromises, and represses, ever hindering the advance toward the goal which Indian strives for. While it is true the majority of the people of India are agreed they want independence, nothing could be more mistaken than to conclude from that fact they are in any way unanimous concerning the manner in which independence would be exercised. The population of India is split into many mutually inimical fractions, and even the presence of British police and troops often cannot prevent bloody clashes among these rival elements whose hatred for one another has its roots in religion and tradition stretching back through the ages until its origins are lost in the mists of time. The two largest and most powerful divisions of the Indian people are the Hindus represented by the much publicized All-India Congress, and the Moslems whose leader, M. A. Jinnah, is president. Two Gunmen Rob Anaheim Business House Saturday East Center Street Pioneer Liquor Store Loses $145.75 to Pair of Unmasked Bandits Early in Evening Step back. This is a stick-up!" These were the words heard by Harold Rankin, clerk at Pioneer Liquor store, 315 East Center street, shortly before 8 o'clock Saturday night. After he had complied with order, one of the two unmasked bandits stepped behind counter and rifled the cash drawer of $145.75. The two then escaped on foot, running to Philadelphia street and turning north. Rankin and Hyman Greenfield, manager of the store, were on duty Saturday night when the robbery occurred. Several customers had been in the store shortly before the thugs entered, Rankin said. Mrs. Greenfield was in a rear room and did not know of the robbery until Anaheim police arrived a few minutes later. Covered by Gun Rankin told an Anaheim Gazette reporter that he was checking some figures on the counter when he heard the command to step back. He paused a minute, and then looked up to see one of the handcuffs pointing a 22-calibre. Republican Rally To Be Held Here Prominent Writer to Speak at Event in Elks Club Thursday, Aug. 22 Anaheim Republicans are going forward with interest to Republican party rally which being planned for a week from night, Thursday, August 22, Anaheim Elks clubhouse,站 at 8 o'clock. The event is and even the presence of British police and troops often cannot prevent bloody clashes among these rival elements whose hatred for one another has its roots in religion and tradition stretching back through the ages until its origins are lost in the mists of time. The two largest and most powerful divisions of the Indian people are the Hindus represented by the much publicized All-India Congress, and the Moslems whose leader, M. A. Jinnah, is president of the All-India Moslem League. The antics of Mahatma Ghandi have given the impression that the congress is the voice of India, but Jinnah claims a following of no fewer than 90,000,000 Mussulmans, and so far the Hindu Congress has made no proposals which would even start to satisfy the needs and demands of these ninety millions who, unlike the Hindus are fierce and hardy, with the blood of untold centuries of warrior lineage in their veins. The Indian Moslems fear the type of democracy which the Hindus advocate, since they would be a minority and therefore for them Indian independence under such a system would mean only subjection to Hindu rule. If history means anything, this could result only in bitter strife from which it is highly likely that the Moslems would emerge triumphant plunging the larger Hindu population into a condition of servitude. One day, perhaps, the Moslems and the Hindus in India may at last reach the basis for true co-operation. When that way dawns Indian independence will be speedily assured. But in the meantime there is little the British can do but administer the compromise constitution now in force, or draw up new constitutions which must still of necessity be makeshift attempts to reconcile fundamental differences between the peoples themselves. When an established democracy is divided into two bitterly hostile camps its survival becomes very gravely imperiled. What chance then, would popular government stand now in India, already so divided even as its people demand self-government and independence? MASTER AND SERVANT—The status of the conquered peoples throughout Europe, and wherever else Nazi Germany may succeed in planting firmly the swastika if final victory is hers, is Covered by Gun Rankin told an Anaheim Gazette reporter that he was checking some figures on the counter when he heard the command to step back. He paused a minute, and then looked up to see one of the bandits pointing a .22-calibre pistol toward his head. The second robber, apparently unarmed, looted the cash register while the gunman held Rankin and Greenfield under his gun. Police Chief James S. Bouldin took Rankin and Greenfield to the Orange county hospital Monday morning in an attempt to identify four men held in the jail ward there as being the bandits who robbed the Anaheim store. Neither of the men was able to identify any of the suspects. Arrested after Crash The four were arrested early Sunday morning by sheriff's deputies after their machine had crashed into a power pole just north of Garden Grove boulevard while they were traveling north on Huntington Beach boulevard. They first were held on a complaint of a Huntington Beach service station man that the men had stolen gasoline and spark plugs from his station. One of the men, Ray Castle of Clovis, had two bullet wounds, one in his head and the other in his arm. The others gave their names as R. D. Patton, 31, and Berry Patton, 28, both of Clovis, and James Kennedy, 22, of Paulier, Calif.

Rotary Governor Due Here Mono John Reilly of Whittier, governor, will pay his officialto the Anaheim Rotary clubMonday noon, it was annexedby President Ronald Brandonthe club's meeting this MASTER AND SERVANT— The status of the conquered peoples throughout Europe, and wherever else Nazi Germany may succeed in planting firmly the swastika if final victory is hers, is clearly fore-shadowed by the treatment of unfortunate citizens of the Czech provinces of Bohemia and Moravia. Hitler once said he had no wish to include non-German peoples in the Reich, and, despite the later invasion of what was left of Czechoslovakia he has kept his word. The subject Czechs cannot by any stretch of the imagination be said to be members of the Reich, their standing is little better than that of slaves. Germans now settling in Bohemia and Moravia go as colonizers rather than as colonists. Their mission is to rule and exploit "the natives." These colonizers, lectured before they leave the Reich upon the importance of their task, are protected by the Nazi army of occupation and by a ruthless police force with extraordinary powers. From the moment of his arrival in Czechoslovakia, the German must be ever aware that he is one of the "Herrenvolk," born to dominate such "slave-peoples" as the Czechs, and that he must uphold the prestige of his ruling race. Germans in Bohemia and Moravia are making no effort to learn the language of the region, for it is apparently an integral part of Nazi policy that "the natives" must learn German if they wish to communicate with their masters. Deliberately created social inflexions were special guests of the Anaheim chapter, Izaak Walton league, last Thursday evening at the Concordia club, sharing the program with a talk by Thomas H. Kuchel on conservation, motion pictures of a fishing trip to Mexican waters, and a fish dinner. Candidates present, each of whom spoke briefly, were Congressman Harry R. Sheppard, seeking re-election; L. H. Loudon, Republican candidate for congress; Kuchel and Burr A. Brown, candidates for the state senate; Pete Funk and Sam Collins, aspirants for the assembly post being vacated by Kuchel; and Supervisor Harry D. Riley and one of his opponents, James A. Baker. President Roy Mabee of the chapter presided over the meeting and displayed the motion pictures, which included, besides the fishing trip, Mabee's visit to West Point where he witnessed the graduation of his son, Richard, and New York.

The event is sponsored by New Outlets For Rain Run-off to Benefit Anaheim Supervisors Give Permission To Use West Anaheim Storm Drains Excessive storm waters will be a problem of minor consequence in Anaheim hereafter, as the result of completion of negotiations between the City of Anaheim and Orange county this week. By virtue of an agreement with the county which the city council accepted Tuesday night, Anaheim has received permission from the county board of supervisors to make connections to the West Anaheim storm drain during periods of heavy rainfall. Acceptance of the agreement concluded negotiations which had been carried on for almost a year, and which involved the Anaheim Union Water company as well as the city and county. The water company previously had cleared the way for the final agreement by granting permission to the city to use company water lines within the city during an emergency. Relieve All Areas A sufficient number of connections with the Anaheim Union Water company's lines will be Finances Of City C Taxation Subject of Raymer's Talk Costs of Government Mount Continuously, Anaheim Merchants Told Excessive costs of government, which result in heavy taxation, were outlined to members of the Anaheim Merchants association this morning at the Marigold cafe by George Raymer, manager of Orange County Association for Better Government. Raymer divided his talk into three parts, dealing separately with federal, state and county governments. The cost of operating the federal government for the 133 years prior to 1931 was 66 billion dollars. During the next seven years governmental expenditures amounted to 65 billion dollars, or almost as much as during the 133 years previous, Raymer declared. He touched briefly on the number of taxes paid on numerous necessary commodities and declared that "the power of tax is the power to destroy."

Rotary Governor Due Here Monday John Reilly of Whittier, district governor, will pay his official visit to the Anaheim Rotary club next Sunday noon, it was announced President Ronald Brandon at club's meeting this week. Relieve All Areas A sufficient number of connections with the Anaheim Union Water company's lines will be made in times of storm to take care of excess water in all parts of the city, officials declare. In past years, the city's own lines were not spacious enough to handle the extreme amount of water which flows through Anaheim during heavy rainfalls. A written proposition by E. C. Farrell, Los Angeles businessman, to lease La Palma park baseball stadium for the purpose of establishing a club here to play in the new California State league was taken under advisement until an adjourned meeting of the council next week. Meanwhile, city officials will make a study of the cost of installing and maintaining lighting equipment at the park for night games. Terms of Proposal Farrell requested the city to install the lighting equipment, provide its power, maintain a groundskeeper, and give him all concessions. In return, he will take a five-year lease, with an option of another five years, paying 20 per cent of the cost of installing the lighting equipment each year for the first five years. Terms of the lease if Farrell exercises his option were not stated. Farrell pointed out that he is not asking any financial support from Anaheim. He has posted a guarantee check with the league and desires a definite answer from the city by August 31, when the league officials will meet in Bakersfield. Ordinance Passed The council passed Ordinance No. 637 which prohibits parking of automobiles in certain areas beyond time limits, and the ordinance will become effective in 30 days.

Tax deeds on Anaheim residential property which will be sold (Continued on Page 6) The cost of operating the federal government for the 133 years prior to 1931 was 66 billion dollars. During the next seven years governmental expenditures amounted to 65 billion dollars, or almost as much as during the 133 years previous, Raymer declared. He touched briefly on the number of taxes paid on numerous necessary commodities and declared that "the power of tax is the power to destroy." Expenditures for welfare and old age pensions comprise the largest share of state governmental expenses, the speaker said, adding that the migrant problem in the state has also been great. He lauded Thomas H. Kuchel and Clyde Watson for their legislative efforts in behalf of economy. Many taxpayers in Orange county feel that the method of establishing the county budget should be changed. At the present, the department heads inform the supervisors of the amount they feel is necessary to operate their departments and it is upon these figures which the board acts. Proponents of a change advocate a method whereby the supervisors establish the amount to be spent and the department heads adjust their work to comply. Raymer also pointed out that many of the expenditures of the county government are fixed by law and out of the jurisdiction of the board of supervisors. Activity of City Court Disclosed Anaheim's police court handled more than 500 cases in each of the fiscal years 1938-39 and 1939-40, Judge Frank Tausch disclosed this week.

The accident occurred two or three minutes after 5 o'clock. Dr. H. A. Johnston, who with Dr. George A. Paige, was called to care for Kraemer, reported this morning that the injured man is resting well today at St. Joseph hospital. He suffered a fracture of one vertebra and is in a cast. There was no indication this morning of a skull fracture, but it was planned to take x-ray pictures during the morning, Dr. Johnston said. Kraemer and Ralph Macbeth, manager of the Angelina, were painting the outside of the roof-garden atop of the hotel when the accident occurred. Kraemer had just remarked to Macbeth that he was quitting soon. A minute or so later Macbeth heard a crash and looked up to see that his companion had disappeared. Hearing a call, Macbeth looked down the summoned, but they were unable to remove Kraemer from the narrow well until Anaheim firemen had hacked through the wall between the vent and a closet of a second-floor apartment. The only other entrance to the vent there was through a small opening in the bathroom wall, which was barely large enough to permit Dr. Paige to squeeze through to give what aid he could to Kraemer. The entire vent is about five feet by four feet wide, but is divided by two large concrete horizontal pillars and several pipe lines, leaving a space of only about two feet by four feet through which Kraemer fell. That he escaped smashing his head against either the walls or the concrete pillars is miraculous.
