Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton THE DECISIVE BATTLE — Despite news reports from Asia, Africa, and the Balkans, reports which often appear in screaming headlines, it becomes increasingly clear every day that all other issues are subordinated to the outcome of the air actions in progress over the United Kingdom. As Hitler's chances of victory over England appear to increase, so trouble threateningly appears in other parts of the globe, as the Nazi effort seems to show diminishing prospects of success so apparent calm settles over areas as far away as Japan. Following the considerable fanfare with which Prince Konoye assumed the Japanese premierhip, and the aggressive declarations of the Tokio militarists that all of Asia was about to be taken under Japanese domination, Konoye's speech, the other day, when he disclaimed any intention of establishing a totalitarian regime, came as a surprise. But it seems no mere coincidence that Konoye's declaration came in the wake of three weeks of intensive aerial warfare in Europe during which neutral observers appeared to be Highway Support Pledged by Board of Booster Body Improvement of Two Avenues Sought as Inducement To Douglas Group Wholehearted support for the improvement of Cerritos avenue and Linclon avenue westward from Anaheim to the Orange county line was pledged yesterday by directors of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. They went on record as supporting the improvement of Cerritos avenue and widening of Lincoln avenue after hearing a short talk by Supervisor Harry D. Riley, in which he told of steps already taken by the supervisors in the matter. Improvement of the highways is sought as a factor in persuading employees of the proposed Douglas Aircraft plant at Lakewood Village to make their homes in Anaheim. Important to County In a previous interview Riley said he believed the improvement of Cerritos avenue, which is a continuation of Spring street in Long Beach, would be of vital importance. Capt. Jack Mattis, Anaheim, Survey Wire service news stories late last week regarding a new air route between Miami and Buenos Aires had no great interest locally until Mrs. George Mattis, 869 South Palm street, disclosed that it was her son, Capt. Jack Mattis of the Pan American Airways, who helped survey and pioneer the new route. Capt. Mattis some months ago also pioneered a new route between Seattle and Alaska and is gaining wide fame in that field of endeavor. The new route and schedule was put into operation last Sunday by Pan American Airways. The higher, straighter and faster air lane cuts two days and 1000 miles from the present east coast route, Mrs. Mattis said. Only Seven Stops A journey which formerly required 25 stops now has but seven, with stops being made at San Juan, Trinidad, Para, Barreiras, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and Buenos Aires. The distance will be covered in three and one-half days, of which only 36 daylight hours will be spent in the air. The saving in time will be achieved by flying over the interior Brazil instead of following the coast. assumed the Japanese premiership, and the aggressive declarations of the Tokio militarists that all of Asia was about to be taken under Japanese domination, Konoye's speech, the other day, when he disclaimed any intention of establishing a totalitarian regime, came as a surprise. But it seems no mere coincidence that Konoye's declaration came in the wake of three weeks of intensive aerial warfare in Europe during which neutral observers appeared to be almost unanimous that no easy task lay ahead of the dreaded Nazi air force. Greece was standing firm in the face of assorted threats and accusations by Mussolini's henchmen, outwardly confident in the absolute efficacy of Britain's preferred aid should Italy attack. Egypt, heartened by the obvious firmness of England's spirit, began to speak aloud that perhaps the time had come to abandon her precarious and ambiguous neutrality. Turkey was seemingly prepared to forget her earlier scrapping of her mutual assistance pact with Britain and, feverishly fortifying the Dardanelles, was reported ready to assist Greece, and therefore Britain, in calling the Duce's bluff. In Spain, angry shouts of "Gibraltar" had died down to a whispered plea for Britain to allow the passage of more oil to Franco's domain. All this can be directly traced to the course of the preliminary air operations, and shows more clearly than any official claims or denials how non-belligerents and neutrals assessed Britain's prospects. We can only conclude that if early winter finds the Nazis still threatening future disasters while maintaining relative inaction, many of the problems now so pressing will vanish of their own accord. Thousands of letters from the listeners to my daily radio broadcasts have proved invaluable as a means of establishing an exchange of views on the problems of these historic days. Perhaps readers of this column feel equally the desire to express their opinions and so more fully to cooperate in unravelling the tangled skein of current events. A WORLD CIVIL WAR — Throughout the French empire it is becoming more clear daily and more important a sharp division of partisanship which exemplifies the oft-repeated fact that the war we witness today is no mere conwhich he told of oppression taken by the supervisors in the matter. Improvement of the highways is sought as a factor in persuading employees of the proposed Douglas Aircraft plant at Lakewood Village to make their homes in Anaheim. Important to County In a previous interview Riley said he believed the improvement of Cerritos avenue, which is a continuation of Spring street in Long Beach, would be of vital importance to the county if it hopes to make attractive and of easy access any part of the county for the Douglas workers. Decision was also reached by the directors to make the dinner meeting scheduled for September 26 the annual meeting of the chamber, as well as the time to officially welcome new members to the group. Details of the proposed Manchester highway freeway plan from Los Angeles to Santa Ana will be presented by state highway department officials as the program for the evening. Frank C. Balfour, supervising right of way agent for the state, will provide miniature models of the plan and colored motion pictures of freeways in New York and other states. Also scheduled to be present is District Agent E.N. Whittemore. Ambulance Sought Lack of ambulance service for Anaheim and northern Orange county was discussed considerably. It was suggested by S. F. Hilgenfeld that William Smith, former operator of a private service here, might be induced to return if the cities of Anaheim and Fullerton would subsidize him to the extent of about $25 monthly each. President Louis H. Hoskins appointed Ernest Ganahl and E. M. Cone to serve with himself as a committee to interview Mayor Charles A. Pearson on the matter. T. W. Stuard, manager of the J. C. Penney company store, was unanimously elected to the board of directors to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Earle T. Jackson. New members of the Chamber of Commerce, announced by Joe Sowder and Robert Boney, are Dr. H. C. Neslund, Borden Fruit company, Towne Toggery, C. A. Musch, Herman Karsten, Arden Farms, Anaheim dental laboratory, Broadway service station, Leavitt Ford garage, G. J. Englehart, Adele Kellenberger and Emil Witt. Only Seven Stops A journey which formerly required 25 stops now has but seven, with stops being made at San Juan, Trinidad, Para, Barreiras, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and Buenos Aires. The distance will be covered in three and one-half days, of which only 36 daylight hours will be spent in the air. The saving in time will be achieved by flying over the interior Brazil instead of following the coast. First work on surveying the route was begun in 1934 when Pan American explorers plunged into the vast stretch of Brazilian jungle, finding that the supposedly impassable area to be merely fringed with jungle. The great mass of the interior, they learned, is flat savanna country. That discovery permitted establishment of interior airports, dispelled the hazards of jungle flying and laid open a tremendous new country to agricultural development. With the opening of the new route, Strato-Clippers began operating in earnest. One of them is flown by Capt. Mattis. Parks Will Head Planning Council Organization of the Planning Council of Orange county was completed during a meeting at the Anaheim city hall last night, with G. Millard Parks, secretary of the Anaheim planning commission, being elected president and Mrs. R. A. Marsden, secretary of the Fullerton planning commission named secretary. Purpose of the council is to foster cooperation and coordination in city, county and regional planning in Orange county, and to promote and direct public sentiment toward procuring the social and economic benefits to be derived from intelligent planning. Main speaker last night was Gordon Whitnall of Los Angeles who discussed needed legislation to provide adequate rights-of-way for freeway projects. Dr. W.J. Bigham of Anaheim outline what the county is trying to accomplish in the way of planning. Motion pictures furnished by the California Roadside Council or roadside control were shown.

In Norway we saw the first example of this when the Quislings deliberately handed their country over to Hitler. Quisling has been denounced as a traitor, but one wonders whether the fact of the matter was not that he considered loyalty to Hitler and the philosophy for which he stands more important than national loyalty. That some form of union or at least intimate co-operation among nations will emerge as the result of this war appears certain. The great question is whether that union will be the result of dictatorial coercion or democratic unity of interest. Perhaps Quisling sensed this fundamental struggle between rival ideologies for the supremacy and so deemed patriotism to his homeland of only secondary importance. Britain well understood this when her statesmen offered the French people complete union of nationality; but the offer came too late, and Petain preferred the shadow of nationalism to the substance of national survival. Now France presents the perfect example of this new division which has made strict neutrality according to the full technicalities of international law, virtually a dead letter throughout the world. French sailors and airmen, and soldiers too, are fighting against (Continued on Page 5) Reds are Worst Enemy of Nation Communism is the greatest enemy of the United States today, Milton Chapman, member of the national Republican central committee, declared Tuesday while addressing a joint meeting of the Anaheim and Fullerton Kiwanis clubs at the Elks clubhouse. The Communists are trying to destroy the government from within, he said. The speaker was introduced by Norman Lombard, chairman of the interclub committee of the Fullerton club, who previously had been introduced by Irvin Chapman, president of the Fullerton group. Service Station is Burglarized of $33 A burglar who broke a small lock on a door of the Broadway service station stole cash amounting to $33 sometime after midnight last night, according to a report made by Anaheim police this morning by Bob Shaw, owner of the establishment. The money was left in a can at the station when Shaw closed up at 10 o'clock last night. He told officers he passed by the station about midnight and everything was in order then. Main speaker last night was Gordon Whitnall of Los Angeles who discussed needed legislation to provide adequate rights-of-way for freeway projects. Dr. W J. Bigham of Anaheim outlined what the county is trying to accomplish in the way of planning. Motion pictures furnished by the California Roadside Council on roadside control were shown. George Hedstrom of Anaheim displayed the films, using the Anaheim union high school's procter. Permit Issued for House Remodeling First building permit for September was issued yesterday to Luther Strain for addition and alteration, work at a residence at 839 North Citron street costing $300. Permits issued during August had a total valuation of $31,097 according to Building Inspector Nyboe, bringing the total for five eight months of the year to $130,068. The total for August of last year was $20,676. Contest Winners Announced Today First News Tips Prize of $1.50 for the best written "news tip" was won this week by J. A. Michel of 117 N. Olive street, while the award of $1 for the best "tip" goes this week to Mrs. Stella Filer of 330 Melrose street. Several valuable news tips were given to the Tip Contest editor and reaching the final decision was a difficult job. The second contest, lasting until 10 o'clock next Thursday morning, is now under way with a total of $2.50 to be awarded in prizes. AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1940 Jack Mattis, Formerly of Anaheim, Surveys New Air Lane Service news stories late regarding a new air station Miami and Buenos Aires no great interest locally. George Mattis, 869 street, disclosed that his son, Capt. Jack Mattis, an American Airways, led survey and pioneer route. Capt. Mattis some also pioneered a new Green Seattle and Alaska mining wide fame in that endeavor. The route and schedule was operation last Sunday by American Airways.

JACK MATTIS Anaheim Included Furniture Store Fire Loss is Set At Over $125,000 Anaheim Department Assists In Quelling Big Blaze at Fullerton Fire of such magnitude that assistance of the Anaheim fire department was needed to quell it; caused damage estimated at more than $125,000 to the McMahan furniture store and the building which it occupied at Spadra road and Wilshire avenue, Fullerton, early yesterday morning. Fullerton firemen responding to a call at 6:30 o'clock found the building spouting smoke from every opening, and as they started to work, clouds of smoke and flame suddenly billowed throughout the rear of the structure. Anaheim Crew Called The Anaheim department was summoned about 7:45 o'clock, with one truck and crew of firemen, headed by Chief R. Nyboe, responding. They remained on duty until about 10:30, when the flames had been subdued enough to be safely handled by the Fullerton firefighters. It was not until shortly after 11 o'clock that the con- County Ta Local Graduates Select Colleges One Hundred Members of 1940 Anaheim Class Choose Fullerton Jaysee One hundred members of the June graduating class at Anaheim unionhigh school plan to continue their education at Fullerton junior college, it was disclosed this week by the high school office.

Anaheim Included In Baseball Loop California State League is Organized with Four Clubs Assured Anaheim was included in an alignment of four cities which will have clubs in the new California State baseball league, a Class C organization, which took another step toward organization last Saturday. Included with Anaheim are Fresno, Bakersfield and San Jose. Clubs in the Pacific Coast league which will sponsor teams in the new loop are Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco and Oakland, respectively. Franchise and territorial fees amounting to $1050 were deposited during the meeting Saturday to insure approval of the league. Plans were also made to attempt to increase the membership of the loop to either six or eight clubs, with the most probable newcomers being Santa Barbara and either Riverside or Ontario. Santa Barbara was one of the original cities slated to participate in the new league, but failure of the city council of that city to provide for installation of lighting equipment at Laguna park resulted in Santa Barbara being left out of the alignment as now organized. Interests in that city, however, feel that the matter of lights can be arranged soon enough to enable Santa Barbara to enter the league. San Bernardino interests are also desireous of establishing a club there, but are faced now with the problem of acquiring rights to the Peiris Hill ball park there. Riverside was originally scheduled to be sponsored by Benny Rubin and backed by San Diego, but Rubin reportedly is not satisfied and would now like to move to Ontario. Service Clubs Plan Combined Meeting Anaheim Crew Called The Anaheim department was summoned about 7:45 o'clock, with one truck and crew of firemen, headed by Chief R. Nyboe, responding. They remained on duty until about 10:30, when the flames had been subdued enough to be safely handled by the Fullerton firefighters. It was not until shortly after 11 o'clock that the conflagration was completed extinguished. Apparently starting near the rear entrance from causes not yet definitely determined, the fire swept through the entire building within a few minutes. Bedroom and household furniture on the second floor fed the blaze. Part of the roof fell in and a large portion of the north wall along Wilshire avenue crashed to the street. The first National bank which adjoins the store on the south side was protected by a double wall. However, some damage was done from smoke and water which seeped through cracks from a stairway leading to the second floor of the McMahan building. Records are Saved Russell Black, manager of the store, was able to go through a side window with firemen to rescue records and accounts from the office. The large stock of furnishings and appliances was covered entirely by insurance, Black said. The building in which the store was located is owned by E. E. Beazley, W. L. Hale and Bert Annin estate. An estimate of $60,-600 was set on the building, which is largely covered by insurance. Fire Chief Roy Davis of Fullerton agreed with Manager Black that the fire might have been caused by defective electric wiring, but was checking for possibility of spontaneous combustion. Two persons were known to have been slightly injured while fighting the blaze. Henry Imm, a volunteer, sustained a fractured finger and Lawrence Jones, regular member of the Fullerton department, sustained a slightly wrenched back. Ralph Cox Reported Missing Last Night Ralph Cox of 1215 Lincoln avenue was reported to Anaheim police last night as a missing person and the report had not been seven designated Santa Aan junior college.

He was one of the 17 persons saved when the fishing barbe, Olympic II, was rammed and sunk by a Japanese freighter, the Sakito Maru. Saved with young Hiltscher was his 14-year-old cousin, Dale Patton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Patton of San Pedro. Alan had gone to San Pedro a few days ago to spend a week at the home of his cousin and yesterday morning they decided to go deep-sea fishing on the huge barge. At about 7 o'clock in the morning, in a dense fog, the barge was struck by the heavy freighter and sank within brief minutes. Seven of those aboard the vessel lost their lives. Young Hiltscher's first thoughts, apparently, were to save his fishing pole and reel, because he clung to them while strapping a life belt around himself, according to reports reaching here last evening. Alan and his cousin were brought to shore by a water taxi which had reached the barge a short time before the collision. Mr. and Mrs. Hiltscher received word during the morning that their son was safe, and drove to San Pedro late yesterday afternoon to see him and other relatives.

Peter Noteboom, 26, of Bellflower, died instantly when his car and one driven by Luis Hernandez, 18, of Whittier collided at the intersection. An hour after Jesus Ochoa, 65, of Whittier was taken to the Artesia hospital he succumbed to injuries sustained when he was thrown from the Hernandez car. The injured included Mrs. Betty Noteboom, 22, riding with her husband; Andrew Reinstra, 26; Mrs. Reinstra, 24, and Richard Reinstra, 65, all riding in the Noteboom car, and Hernandez. Death of Noteboom and Ochoa raised the county's highway traffic toll to 43 since January 1. Noteboom's body was removed to the Hilgenfeld mortuary here where an inquest into both deaths was to be conducted this afternoon. Coroner Earl R. Abbey said that Ochoa's body was at the Arnold mortuary of Artesia, but Supervisors Set Levy This Week Owners of Anaheim Property to Pay Combined Total of $3.89 per $100 City, county, school and Metropolitan Water district taxes combine to give owners of property in Anaheim a total tax load of $3.89 per $100 of assessed valuation. a study of the various rates discloses. The full load became known this week when Orange county board of supervisors established a rate of 88 cents for property inside cities and 91 cents for property outside cities. The difference represents a three-cent library rate for those owning property outside of cities. School Rate Highest Highest individual rate is that of the Anaheim elementary school district which has a levy amounting to $.8847 per $100. Of the total $.6882 is for the general fund and $.1965 is for the bond fund. A levy of $.2762 for the county workforce department is the principal. Jewell Speaks to Merchant Group Young Anaheim Man Shows Pictures of Scenes in Venezuela Richard Jewell, young Anaheim man who has spent the last two years in Venezuela as a production department foreman for the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, was the guest speaker at this morning's meeting of the Anaheim Merchants association at the Marigold cafe. He spoke briefly on Venezuela and showed many colored slides of scenes in that country and in Trinidad. Venezuela is one of the large countries on the northeastern coast of South America, Jewell reminded his audience. It is the third largest producer of oil in the world, but its agricultural production is limited almost entirely to corn, he said. Revenue from oil and heavy import duties have eliminated virtually all taxes in the country, he added. Several pictures of the Standard Oil camp where he lived were shown. The houses are built on stilts because Venezuela usually receives about 120 inches of rain during the months of June, July and August. Other scenes showed some of the more than 300 oil wells in the vicinity which are producing about 70,000 barrels each day. Pictures of the native villages and many jungle and mountain scenes were also shown. Interesting points in Venezuelan capital city of Caracas and of Port of Spain, capital of Trinidad, were also displayed. All the pictures, which were in color, were photographed by Jewell, he said. He will return to 88 cents for property inside cities and 91 cents for property outside cities. The difference represents a three-cent library rate for those owning property outside of cities. School Rate Highest Highest individual rate is that of the Anaheim elementary school district which has a levy amounting to $8847 per $100. Of the total $6882 is for the general fund and $1965 is for the bond fund. A levy of $.2762 for the county welfare department is the principal factor in the county's full rate of 88 cents for inside cities. Next high is the general fund rate, 19 cents, closely followed by the 18-cent rate for the salary fund. Other fund rates are hospital, $.1298; interest and sinking, .0380; health, .0294; unbudgeted reserve, .02; county park, .0142, and advertising, .0026. For the first time since the early years of the county, the two-cent outside road tax has been eliminated. High School Rate The combined bond and general fund rates for Anaheim union high school district bring the total for that political subdivision to $.8375. Of the total, $.1287 is for bonds and $.7108 is for general operation expenses. In addition to the high school and elementary school taxes, there is a rate of $.1169 for junior college support, according to Ray Adkinson, county superintendent of schools. The combined total of all three school taxes is $1.84, or almost half of the entire levy to be paid by Anaheim property owners. The city of Anaheim's rate of 70 cents per $100 was tentatively established last week, with the ordinance fixing the levy scheduled to be introduced at the council meeting next Tuesday night. The Metropolitan Water district rate was announced early last month. Anaheim Persons Seek Citizenship Five Anaheim residents are among the 41 Orange county persons who will appear in superior court on September 12 for the year's third naturalization proceeding. Of the 41, five are seeking repatriation. Anaheim residents in the group are Wilfried Emil Bloedow, Mrs. Marie Hemmerling, Mrs. Nellie Council Approves Changes in Zones Recommendations of the city council commission for the establishment of a new duplex-residence zone and changing of the single-family zones to mul-tile-family zones were approved, with one exception, by the Anaheim city council Tuesday evening hearing a public hearing. The single exception involves property owned on Sabina street, at 10 Sycamore street, which council ordered placed in the triple-residence zone instead of duplex-residence zone. The son was taken upon request of Fred Sidebottom and E. M. Potter, owners of the majority of the property involved. That property owners in other areas involved by the proposed changes were satisfied with the recommendations of the planning commission was brought out by fact that only Sidebottom and Mrs. Schlotter attended hearing. Police Chief's Son Injured in Mishap Dead injuries were suffered by Saturday morning by William B. Lentz, 23, of 1325 Grace Street, Santa Ana, when he lost control of the automobile he was driving and it struck a telephone near the intersection of Los Angeles and Zeyn streets, accord- to police reports. Lentz, son of Police Chief Lentz, Santa Ana, lost control of his car when he reached backward to ob- ject a sweater, he told officers. Australia Topic of Talk at Club Anaheim Lions club members felt well-travelled following their meeting last Friday noon when they heard talks on Australia and Alaska. Charles Griffith was program chairman of the day. Arthur H. O'Connor, manager of the Australian National Travel association, spoke on that country, which, he said is five days from the United States by airplane and 19½ days by ship. Australia, he pointed out, produces everything that is produced in the United States with the one exception of oil. Dr. George A. Paige of Anaheim was the second speaker, reviewing his recent vacation trip to Alaska and the northwest. Two Motorists Pay Fines Totaling $20 Two persons who pleaded guilty to speeding charges during the past week before City Judge Frank Tausch paid fines totaling $20. A fine of $15 was paid by Otto Pierce of Arlington, and Edward Anderson, 210 East Ellsworth street, paid a fine of $5. Seek Citizenship Five Anaheim residents are among the 41 Orange county persons who will appear in superior court on September 12 for the year's third naturalization proceeding. Of the 41, five are seeking repatriation. Anaheim residents in the group are Wilfried Emil Blöedow, Mrs. Marie Hemmerling, Mrs. Nellie Appley, Mrs. Lydia Mina Stranske and Miss Adelaide Marion Young. Nine of those seeking citizenship come from Canada and a like number come from Mexico. England is represented by four aliens and by four former Americans who seek repatriation. Germany sends four; Ireland, Spain and Russia, two each; France, Italy, Austria, Belgium and Sweden, one each. NOW!
