Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXV A Legal Newspaper Editorial HILLMAN — LABOR'S 'FRIEND' In many unions in America today the new-style ward-heelers of Sidney Hillman and his Political Action Committee are hard at work on an ambitious plan to turn a legitimate labor movement, organized to represent and protect the working man in relations with his employer, into a massive political bloc. Cut of this campaign Hillman hopes to produce some 5,000,000 party workers and the greatest political slush fund in the history of American labor—some $6,000,000—to re-elect Franklin Roosevelt to a fourth term. Recently, "Labor," the weekly newspaper of the big four railroad brotherhoods, took a look at his campaign and foresaw another result which Mr. Hillman perhaps did not anticipate—a wave of hostile public reaction "full of ominous possibilities for the entire labor movement." "Inevitably," the railroaders' organ declared editorially, "Mr. Hillman's program will strengthen the hands of organized labor's foes and increase the demand for more rigid regulations of labor unions." This editorial in "Labor" reflects the alarm that has swept many union when it points out that Hillman's PAC is fighting candidates with good labor records, supporting those who have been enemies of labor, and openly conspiring with Communists to take control of the fire damage $3,000 WEST ANAHEIM FAIR. A meeting of the Cynthalia Farm Center is scheduled tonight, Thursday, at the school house. Proposals November ballot will be and a program of music will be given by Tikker and his family.

Recently, "Labor," the weekly newspaper of the big four railroad brotherhoods, took a look at his campaign and foresaw another result which Mr. Hillman perhaps did not anticipate—a wave of hostile public reaction "full of ominous possibilities for the entire labor movement." "Inevitably," the railroaders' organ declared editorially, "Mr. Hillman's program will strengthen the hands of organized labor's foes and increase the demand for more rigid regulations of labor unions." This editorial in "Labor" reflects the alarm that has swept many union when it points out that Hillman's PAC is fighting candidates with good labor records, supporting those who have been enemies of labor, and openly conspiring with Communists to take control of the labor vote. And the editorial concludes: "Labor seriously questions if Mr. Hillman's tactics will aid the Roosevelt-Tuman ticket. It is much more likely to injure it. But whatever the effects may be on the presidential campaign, Labor fears the consequences may be most disturbing to the regular labor movement. Therefore, it seems advisable to repudiate Mr. Hillman's unprecedented program at the very beginning." SOUND PROGRAM The nation's farmers are sharing to an even greater degree of gratitude, the knowledge that the triumphant conclusion of the war is a certainty. And why shouldn't they? Their machinery is worn out. And they need most the assurance that they will not be made the guinea pigs of a bureaucratic government which in the past has attempted to foster off on them a false philosophy. It took a war to save agricultural economy from complete wreckage. Aware that there is no excuse for a return engagement of this crime against Agriculture, the Republicans have adopted a platform hailed as the most practical and efficient ever written. It assures freedom from regimentation by an impractical Washington bureaucracy, independence of operation, fair and equitable market prices for farm products, and a sound program for conservation and use of our soil and natural resources. It is based on the fundamental knowledge that educational progress and the social and economic stability and well-being of the farm family must be a prime national purpose. WP A SURPLUS Representative Halleck, of Indiana, recently told Congress about New Deal arrangements for selling 100 billion dollars' worth of surplus war goods. He said only 11 of the 171 top sales executives of the Treasury procurement division, now the chief surplus sales agency under executive order, were experienced in merchandising and selling. Of the key men chosen for this vast job, 69 are former WPA employees, trained in the Harry Hopkins school of handouts; 59 had been government purchasing agents, but were without sales experience; 13 are casualties of the National Youth Administration; six came from the War Manpower Commission; three came from Agriculture, two being expert foresters; three are former stockroom clerks; two are from Interior; two were architects; two were machinists, and one had sales experience as a filling station operator. "These were the key men...charged with the sales of billions of dollars' worth of goods," Mr. Halleck said. SMEAR TACTICS The near-hysteria evinced by New Deal politicains in attempting to smear Governor Dewey for his adherence to the fundamental principles of freedom is perhaps without parallel. It seems to be beyond their comprehension that anyone can hold a constitution sacred, knowing that it will give those for whom it was written the truest form of democracy. Exactly 28 states, including New York, have constitutions which makes it impossible to use the federal short ballot. In these states, members of the armed services will have the right to exercise their power to vote for a full ticket from President of the United States to the lowliest state office. The bobtail ballot provided by federal law is a partial ballot only. It therefore not only fails to fulfill the mandate of 28 states. CYPRESS-MAGNOLIAD CENTER MEETS TOO A meeting of the CyPRESS-Magnolia Farm Center is set tonight, Thursday, at the school house.

SMEAR TACTICS The near-hysteria evinced by New Deal politicains in attempting to smear Governor Dewey for his adherence to the fundamental principles of freedom is perhaps without parallel. It seems to be beyond their comprehension that anyone can hold a constitution sacred, knowing that it will give those for whom it was written the truest form of democracy. Exactly 28 states, including New York, have constitutions which maks it impossible to use the federal short ballot. In these states, members of the armed services will have the right to exercise their power to vote for a full ticket from President of the United States to the lowliest state office. The bobtail ballot provided by federal law is a partial ballot only. It therefore not only fails to fulfill the mandate of 28 state constitutions, but is repugnant to them. Because of its political implications, there are those who have chosen to make the New York Soldier Vote law a target for misinterpretation. Under that law it is easier for a New York soldier to vote on Guadalcanal or in Italy than it is for a citizen in New York City, and it guarantees to every member of the armed forces who wants to vote, a full ballot. In the words of Governor Dewey, "Nothing could be simpler and remain honest." It is to Governor Dewey's credit, and the other 27 states abiding by this same fundamental obligation which is the basis of democracy, that they have withstood the pressure from those who would use politics to undermine the freedom of franchise. To construe their laws otherwise would be to affect their validity. FDR AND CONGRESS The effective working of our system of government requires cooperation between the Executive and Legislative branches. Nowhere has Mr. Roosevelt failed so badly. The President has called Congress inept and Congressmen, in turn, have booed his words from the floor. The Democratic leader of the Senate called one veto message "a calculated and deliberate assault upon the legislative integrity of every member of Congress." The record shows continuous efforts by Mr. Roosevelt to dominate Congress through (1) dictating to Congress what it must do; (2) influencing the votes of members by patronage, political favors, and bribes of public works and work relief; by reprisals and purges; (3) implying that Congress should be criticized and stirring up public resentment; (4) using legislative authority in ways never intended by Congress, sometimes in direct violation of the intent; and(5) by bypassing Congress. It is high time that America has a Chief Executive who can work in harmony with the national legislature in the interest of the people as a whole. PUBLIC OPINION MADE WHILE YOU WAIT Democracy is based upon the idea that the opinion of the majority of the public shall prevail. The designers of democracy did not insist upon the right of free speech and a free press simply because they wanted freedom.

Lindsey property on Monday night when a barn, on Dale avenue in West Anaheim part of a garage, 20 tons of hay, three tons of grain and a tractor were destroyed. The loss was estimated at $3,000. Other improvements, including the home, were saved by fire fighters from Orange, West Anaheim and Buena Park. CYPRESS-MAGNOLIA FARM CENTER MEETS TONIGHT A meeting of the Cypress-Magnolia Farm Center is scheduled for tonight, Thursday, at the Magnolia school house. Proposals on the November ballot will be discussed and a program of instrumental music will be given by Dr. H. J. Tikker and his family of Anaheim. A potluck dinner will be served at 6:30 o'clock. War Chest Fund Passes Third of Goal; Public Urged to Give Now Up to Wednesday afternoon the contributions to the Anaheim War Chest Fund totaled $4,600.50, according to figures released by Treasurer Chas. E. Griffith. This amount is slightly in excess of one-third of the goal of $13,500, which is Anaheim's quota of the county goal of $130,000. Only 568 contributions made up the sum of $4,600 which indicates that only a small percentage of the potential donors have sent in their contributions. It is the hope of Mayor Chas. A. Pearson and his committees that the drive can be completed well before the first of November, which can be done if local residents will not delay sending in their gifts. No high-pressure campaign is being made and no individual is to meet the goal and bring a little comfort or enjoyment to those who are fighting the battles on the far-flung firing lines around the world. Anaheim’s War Chest Fund territory includes the area between the Santa Ana river and the county line on the west, and from Orangethorpe on the north to Katella on the south. Those in this area may send or mail their contribution or give it to one of the following committeeemen appointed by General Chairman Chas. A. Pearson: Rev. H. G. Schmelzer campaign chairman; C. E.

A snack counter has also been installed for serving refreshments. The following rules will be strictly observed at the Canteen, according to the sponsors: 1. Members must present membership cards at door or a fee of 10c will be charged for entrance. 2. Guests admitted for 25c admission. 3. Members and guests must sign up each evening in the log book. Only 568 contributions made up the sum of $4,600 which indicates that only a small percentage of the potential donors have sent in their contributions. It is the hope of Mayor Chas. A. Pearson and his committees that the drive can be completed well before the first of November, which can be done if local residents will not delay sending in their gifts. No high-pressure campaign is being made and no individual is asked to give more than he can afford, however, it is desired that everyone do his share in raising this fund for mercy. Contributions in any amount may be left at the city clerk's office, or checks may be mailed to Treasurer Chas. E. Griffith in care of the City Hall. The War Chest Fund is used to provide American war prisoners in foreign countries with a few knick-knacks, games, books, etc., and for entertainment and maintenance of USO camps throughout the world, as well as at home, and to relieve the suffering in war-torn occupied countries. The need is great and every individual contribution to the fund will help committee members serving in the district outside the city are S. R. Ammon, Centralia; Fred W. Bewley and James M.

J. H. Walsh, state president will speak upon the amendments to be voted on at the November election. The door will be open at 1:30. Veterans' Group Backing Dewey; C. Van Wyck Head "Veterans for Dewey?" is the title under which a group of veterans, headed by Charles Van Wyk, Tustin rancher, are organized to back Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for president. As chairman of the group Van Wyk will organize and develop a program to lead the fight against Roosevelt as outlined by Robert McCurdy, southern California chairman, of Pasadena. Van Wyk was appointed to the task by Thomas J. Reardon, past commander of the American Legion and state chairman of the Veterans' Welfare Board. Warren Atherton, past national commander of the American Legion, and past commander of the Department of California, is national chairman of the Veterans for Dewey movement. Van Wyk is also head of the "Orange County Farmers Against the New Deal," an organization that is also backing Dewey for president, and Gov. John Bricker for vice-president. Attracted unprecedented enthusiasm for a candidate for Vice President, and equals that extended to Governor Thomas E. Dewty during his tour in mid-September, it was declared. Polls taken by precinct workers were said to be especially "enlightening," with an average of better than 33 percent of registered Democrats being listed on the Dewey-Bricker side. Students at Occidental College, one of the Southland's outstanding educational institutions, voted better than 2 to 1 for the GOP presidential candidates, at a recent "election." One of the week's colorful highlights was the protest rally staged by University of Southern California students over Trojan Horse slurs made by Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes in a $50-a-plate New Deal-PAC banquet here last week. Formation of a "We Wanna Chance to be President" club featured the demonstration, which was addressed by Edward Arnold, screen star member of the Hollywood-For-Dewey Committee. Loss of 10.2 percent in strength by the CIO United Automobile Workers at a collective bargaining agency election last Wednesday in the Douglas Aircraft Company's plant in Santa Monica was seen by GOP leaders as further evidence that the rank and file of CIO is wandering away from the panzer politics practiced by "Clear it with Sidney" Hillman and his Communistic cohorts. When a similar ballot was tak Famed City Planner to Address Orange County League of Cities October 26 Next Thursday night, October 26, under the auspices of the Orange County League of Cities, Gordon Whitnall, famed planning consultant, who has been engaged to assist the Anaheim Planning Commission and city council on a developing program for this city, will speak to a select group of officials, business men and civic workers. Attendance will be by invitation only. Whitnall has long been engaged in the work of city planning and is reputed to be the leader in this profession. He is past president of the California League of Cities and his opinions are sought by city officials throughout the state. The problem of off-street parking is one phase of planning program the city council had in mind when they engaged such an expert as Whitnall to work out "re-modeling" plans for the business district. It is estimated that when thousands more civilian cars come into use after the war some better system of dealing with traffic and parking problems will have to be devised. Mayor Chas. A. Pearson stated that "Whitnall is the best qualified man in this line of endeavor. Anaheim is confronted with a parking problem, and something must be done now to take care of a post-war congestion that could hardly be coped with unless better facilities are arranged for. The city council has retained Mr. Whitnall to assist with this and other expansion and development problems that are in the offing," the mayor said. Unless parking facilities are provided within the defined business districts, the tendency of late is for business to move to less congested areas. This migration of business places eventually leads to inconvenience for the buying public and at the same time causes a depreciation of property values in the original business district, as well as the outlying neighborhood into which the business moves, it has been pointed out. Revolutionary ideas are being adopted in some cities to meet such emergencies. Basement and upstairs parking space is provided in many trade centers, while in others parking spaces are arranged off the alleys and "rear" store fronts installed in the business houses, providing two store entrances instead of the conventional "front" door on the main street side. All of these and many other civic development programs and plans will be discussed by Mr. Whitnall at the meeting next Thursday. Loss of 10.2 percent in strength by the CIO United Automobile Workers at a collective bargaining agency election last Wednesday in the Douglas Aircraft Company's plant in Santa Monica was seen by GOP leaders as further evidence that the rank and file of CIO is wandering away from the panzer politics practiced by "Clear it with Sidney" Hillman and his Communistic cohorts. When a similar ballot was taken among the 12,000 Douglas workers last February, the CIOUAW scored 46.7 percent of the total; last Wednesday this dropped to 36.5, a loss of 10.2 percent in strength. Dewey-Bricker interest among "first-voters" was reported increasing feverishly, according to Richard Fildew, state president of the Young Republican Clubs. "Those youngsters say they were taught in school that America is a free country, and yet Sidney Hillman and the PAC are forcing them to pay assessments to elect the New Deal, and telling them how to vote," Fildew said. "They resent it, and hundreds of them are flocking to the GOP banner, as a result." "Hundreds of young people have known only one president since their age of reasoning, and many actually believe that the job is under civil service. A fourth term, and they'd be nearly correct." GOP speakers have been stressing the fact recently that the New Deal was unable to solve the unemployment problem prior to the war, with 10,000,000 still jobless at its outbreak. "Workers are becoming more convinced daily that the New Deal was unequipped then, and will be after the war, to provide jobs." Superior Judge Goodwin J. Knight has been telling large political audiences. "They are beginning to look to the GOP for postwar jobs."
