Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton STRATEGY OF THE COIL SPRING — With the climatic phase of the Battle for Britain, and Nazi landing attempts, there can be no doubt that in some places at least, the hob-nailed boot of the invader will tread the soil of England. The highest British military authorities freely admit they do not expect the navy and the air force everywhere to frustrate completely the German landings, although it is expected that the Nazis losses will be terrifying and perhaps decisively crippling even before Hitler's soldiers reach the English coast. After that, the task will be in the hands of the British army. The recent change in the British supreme command gives us a clear hint as to the nature of the dispositions and strategy to be employed to smash such German units as may succeed in landing. General Brooke, the new British commander, is a famous exponent of mechanized and offensive warfare. His first act was to order the removal from the highways and lanes of England of the tank barriers which had been placed with the idea of slowing down or halting the advance of the invader, and the reasoning behind this is not difficult to piece together. To a very great extent, the losses Wrecking of Old Santa Fe Station Begun This Week Actual Construction of New Depot Scheduled to Start Aug. 28 With wrecking of the old Santa Fe station in Anaheim underway today preparations are going forward for construction work on the new building which will house the railroad’s facilities. E. A. Brock, of Long Beach, is the contractor in charge of wrecking of the old railroad station and cleaning up for the premises. Actual construction of the new Santa Fe railroad station should get underway about August 28 with T. C. Prichard, of Riverside, general contractor, supervising the work. Wood Frame Structure The new station building will be a wood frame structure with stucco finish covering an area of approximately 27 by 120 feet. A wood freight platform will be erected on the south end. The roof will be covered with tile. The station building will be located on East Center street and the interior will be completely THREE PARTIES N OF CITY’S LA Prospects that Anaheim will formia State professional baseball brighter, with three factions; Palma park stadium. It is possible next week. New developments during the past week include: Re-entry of Benny Rubin, Hollywood comedian, into the field; overtures from the Los Angeles baseball club through William H. Jordan, vice president; discussion of all proposals by the city council Tuesday night, and decision of the council to have Leo J. Sheridan act as intermediary between the city and those seeking to lease the stadium. Counter-offer Made Sheridan immediately set work yesterday contacting Jordan Rubin and Edward Farrell in order to present a tentative counterproposal. Information that the councilman receives from these men will be compiled and presented to the city fathers at the next meeting, scheduled for Wednesday night of next week because the regular meeting time falls on election day. Rubin, in a night letter telegram to Mayor Charles A. Pearson Monday morning, revealed that he finally received permission from Dave Fleming, head of the Los Angeles Angels, to make a deal with Anaheim officials. He proposed to pay for the installation... employed to smash such German units as may succeed in landing. General Brooke, the new British commander, is a famous exponent of mechanized and offensive warfare. His first act was to order the removal from the highways and lanes of England of the tank barriers which had been placed with the idea of slowing down or halting the advance of the invader, and the reasoning behind this is not difficult to piece together. To a very great extent, the losses of tanks and mechanized equipment which the British suffered in Flanders have now been replaced, therefore General Brooke will have at his disposal a large and efficient armored striking force with which to meet the Nazis. For a period, any German landing forces will be overwhelmingly outnumbered by the defenders provided that full use is made of this British striking power. Were the defenders to adopt a strategy of slow retreat, as suggested by the now removed barriers, then German strength might be expected to grow as further reinforcements were landed. And gradually the balance could be expected to swing to the Germans. Any attempt to prevent a German landing at all points would entail the establishing of defense posts along the length of every inch of the coast of the British Isles, and therefore dangerously disperse that very striking power which must be ready to dash at once into a vigorous offensive as soon as German landing points become established. Brooke's plans very probably call for the concentration of the very fine British mechanized forces at strategically central points. The coast line probably would be held with considerable tenacity, but the coastal defense troops would, in their prepared positions, represent little more than an outpost and holding force. From centrally situated concentrations, at, for example, Tonbridge in Kent, the defending mechanized equipment could launch a devastating attack on the enemy landing forces within only two or three hours after receiving orders, and these forces could, in that period, reach any coastal point in southeast England. COLLECTIVE SECURITY FOR AMERICA—A correspondent has written to me suggesting the military power of the Latin American nations is so small that this nation may be leaning upon a broken Wood Frame Structure The new station building will be a wood frame structure with stucco finish covering an area of approximately 27 by 120 feet. A wood freight platform will be erected on the south end. The roof will be covered with tile. The station building will be located on East Center street and the interior will be completely modern with acoustically treated ceilings. The floor in the waiting room is to be colored cement tile laid in a pattern. All facilities for the traveling public will be strictly modern and up-to-date. To the west of the building, ample paved area will be provided for parking of automobiles. Proper Setting Planned The present park and landscaping will be augmented by the planting of appropriate trees and shrubs to form a proper setting for the new Santa Fe railroad station. It is expected that the new station will be completed about November 1. "The general contractor in charge of construction of the new Santa Fe station will handle as much of the sub-contracting as possible with Anaheim firms," said E. E. McCarty, general manager of the company's Coast Lines, who made the announcement today. "This same procedure was followed by construction of the new station for Santa Fe at Santa Ana and proved very satisfactory. A large part of the construction work there was done by local labor." Rubin, in a night letter telegram to Mayor Charles A. Pearson Monday morning, revealed that he finally received permission from Dave Fleming, head of the Los Angeles Angels, to make a deal with Anaheim officials. He proposed to pay for the installation of lighting equipment over five-year period, and to build box seats and make any other improvements needed, at his own expense. He also agreed to buy all equipment possible in Anaheim. In return, he asked for exclusive use of the ball park between March and September, and asked if it is imperative that Connie Mack train his Philadelphia phia Athletics in La Palma park. Los Angeles' Proposal Jordan's proposal also was that the Los Angeles club would pay the cost of installing lights over a five-year period, and offered the services of their own lightning engineer in making the installation. He also asked for concussion rights, as did the others. The counter-proposal which Councilman Sheridan offered each of the men called for the installation by the leasee of the lighting equipment in exchange for free use of the ball park for five years; reservation by the city of privilege to use the lighting equipment when not needed by the leasee, and prior rights by the leasee to the use of the stadium during the league season. CONNIE MACK APPROVES GRANDSTAND PROJECT Expenditures of $1,323 as half of the sponsor's cost of building additional bleachers at La Palma park stadium has been approved by Connie Mack, president-manager of the Philadelphia Athletic Club. The new stands will increase the seating capacity 1200 persons. Macfarland also offered suggestions for improvements to the stadium, all of which met with the council's approval. They included installation of a ticket office business office under the n stands, turnstiles at each of three gates, and ticket booths at the two side gates. COLLECTIVE SECURITY FOR AMERICA—A correspondent has written to me suggesting the military power of the Latin American nations is so small that this nation may be leaning upon a broken reed in placing much reliance upon any scheme of Pan-American defense of this hemisphere. To an extent this is true. But the issues involved in active Pan-Americanism are very much greater than any consideration of the military resources of the individual republics of South America. The position of the United States on this continent today is very nearly exactly parallel to the position of Great Britain in Europe before Munich. Individually the countries whose support, both political and military, can be won by definite undertakings are not important. But collectively their strategic co-operation is vital. There is very little doubt that an outright declaration by Britain that she would automatically go to war should any attempt be made to change frontiers or settle international issues by forces anywhere in Europe, would have ruled out the possibility of the Italian conquest of Ethiopia, the rape of Czechoslovakia and all that has happened since, had such a declaration been backed up by an armament program at least equal to that of Germany. Britain had a start upon which to build, since she was very much more Atwood Resident Killed in Mishap Eugene Rivera, 18, of Atwood became Orange county's 39th traffic fatality of the year when he died Monday morning in Orange county hospital. Rivera suffered fatal injuries Sunday night when the car he was driving crashed into a palm tree on Placentia-Yorba boulevard, east of Anaheim, highway patrol officers reported. The youth was driving eastward and apparently fell asleep at the wheel., officers said after interviewing E. V. Tracy of Long Beach, who witnessed the crash. The body was removed to the McAulay and Suters funeral chapel in Fullerton.

The check was for $17.82 and cash amounted to $4.85, she Residents of Anaheim to Cast Ballots In General Primary Election Tuesday Metropolitan Water District Sets Tax Rate of 49 Cents For 1941 Anaheim property owners will pay seven cents more per $100 used valuation to the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California during the fiscal year of 1940-41 than they did last year, Engineer E. P. Hapgood, Anaheim's member of the district's board of directors, disclosed this week when he announced a 49-cent tax rate had been established. The rate was set by the board of directors on the recommendations of its finance committee. Only five cents of the new tax rate is to be used to meet the district's general and maintenance costs, Hapgood said, the remainder of the levy being required to meet interest charges on bonds sold to finance the Colorado river aqueduct, and to meet fixed Boulder dam power changes being made by the United States government. Reasons for Increase Hapgood said the increase was the result of large additional aqueduct bond funds having been invested during the past year in bringing to completion the Colorado river aqueduct. Furthermore the aqueduct, scheduled to go into operation early next year has not Superior Judge Race In Orange County To Be Decided Anaheim and Orange county residents will elect a superior court judge, nominate party candidates for the state assembly and senate, and assist the 19th congressional district and state as a whole to nominate party candidates for United States congress when primary elections are held next Tuesday. In addition, each supervisorial district will elect members of the county central committees for both Republican and Democratic parties. The polls will be open from 6 in the morning until 7 at night. Sample ballots were received early this week in Anaheim. Those who stated party affiliations in their registration received sample ballots bearing the names of candidates in their parties for the various offices. Those who did not state party affiliation received sample ballots bearing names of candidates for the non-partisan offices of judge and supervisor only. Senate Contest Topping the sample ballots in the congressional classification, Ev. Earl R. Berg above, arrived in Anaheim today to assume pastorate of the Calvary Baptist Church Greet Minister and Wife Today. Ev. Earl R. Berg, the newly-graded minister of the Calvary Baptist church, will preach his final sermon next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock on the subject, "The Threshold of a Great Adoration." Sunday evening he will attend at the union services in Anaheim city park on the theme, "Christ Among the Common Angels of Life." Ev. Berg comes to Anaheim on a fine record of accomplishments in the field of education, ministry and civic activity. He is native of Iowa, but received his bachelor of arts from field college, McMinnville, Ore., degree of bachelor of theology obtained from the Northern Baptist Theological seminary at Chicago, from which school he received the degree of divinity last year. Active in Community The new minister has held pastates at Lisbon, N. D., where he attended the North Dakota Agricultural college at Fargo, at Seventh Avenue Baptist Church at Coucil Bluffs, Iowa; here he was clerk of the conference, and at the First Baptist Church of Buhl, Idaho, where he lived five years. (Continued on page 8) Reasons for Increase Hapgood said the increase was the result of large additional aqueduct bond funds having been invested during the past year in bringing to completion the Colorado river aqueduct. Furthermore the aqueduct, scheduled to go into operation early next year, has not yet begun the delivery of water and is therefore not yet returning revenues from water sales. Several weeks ago officials of the Metropolitan Water district succeeded in securing the adoption by congress of legislation authorizing a reduction in the rates paid by the district for Boulder dam power to operate its aqueduct pumping plants. Since this power rate reduction has not yet become effective, Hapgood said, this large future saving to the district could not be reflected in the new tax rate. This rate reduction benefit is expected to be effective as an offset to the 1941 tax rate, he added. Job Nearly Complete Construction of the aqueduct is being financed from the proceeds of a $200,000,000 bond issue authorized by the voters of the 13 cities in the district. Actual cost of the aqueduct, now more than 90 per cent completed, will be more than $20,000,000 under the original estimate, according to recent statement by General Manager F. E. Weymouth. District cities besides Anaheim are Fullerton, Santa Ana, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Compton, Glendale, Long Beach, Pasadena, San Marino, Santa Monica and Torrance. Rotary Governor Pays Visit Here John B. Reilly of Whittier, governor of Rotary district 108, paid his official visit to the Anaheim Rotary club last Monday, speaking before the group during the luncheon hour as well as conferring with President Ronald Brandon and the board of directors before the meeting opened. Rotary aims and ideals were the subjects discussed by Reilly during the meeting. He complimented early this week in Anaheim. Those who stated party affiliations in their registration received sample ballots bearing the names of candidates in their parties for the various offices. Those who did not state party affiliation received sample ballots bearing names of candidates for the non-partisan offices of judge and supervisor only. Senate Contest Topping the sample ballots in the congressional classification, divided into United States senator and representative in congress from the 19th district. Four men are seeking nomination for United States senator on both ballots, and two others are listed on the Democratic ballot. Names appearing on both ballots are Ellis E. Patterson, lieutenant governor of California; Samuel W. Yorty, state assemblyman; John Anson Ford, Los Angeles county supervisor; and Hiram W. Johnson, incumbent. On the Democratic ballot alone are James D. Meredith, attorney, and Richard S. Otto, mechanical engineer. Lotus H. Loudon, Anaheim publisher, is the only Republican candidate for representative in congress. N. E. West of Laguna Beach, county supervisor, and Harry D. Sheppard of Ukiah, incumbent, are contesting for the Democratic nomination. Legislative Slate The second classification is that of legislative and embraces state senator and member of the assembly from the 75th district. Thomas H. Kuchel of Anaheim, member of the assembly, is without opposition on the Republican ballot for state senate. His name also appears with those of Burr A. Brown, Santa Ana attorney, and Charles L. Ruby, Fullerton teacher, on the Democratic slate. Candidates for assembly from the 75th district on the Republican ballot are Sam L. Collins, Fullerton lawyer, and Thomas K. Gowen, Fullerton rancher.

He complimented the Anaheim club on its weekly news reports and comments, but offered the suggestion that its membership was not as large as it should be for a town of Anaheim's size. Reilly also reviewed some of the discussions in which district governors participated during the recent international convention at Havana and touched on the Rotary situation in Europe. Films of Alaskan Trip are Displayed Dr. Charles Schutz and Everett M.
