Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXV A Legal Newspaper ANAH Editorial NO INDISPENSABLE MAN The theory that Candidate Roosevelt is an "indispensable man," the only one capable of leading the United States in the days ahead, has been blasted by Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Millions of Americans are joining Governor Dewey in refuting that theory. "If our republic after 50 years of self-government is dependent upon the endless continuance of one man in office, then the hopes which animated the men who fought for the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution have indeed come to nothing," declared the Republican presidential nominee. Under the indispensable man theory, every mother is being deprived of the hope that her son may one day become president of th United States. Every schoolboy is deprived of incentive to develop leadership and statesmanship. A machine is being built to do his thinking, to govern his every act, to tell him that he is incapable of achievement. By the same principle that one man did not build America, its peace and prosperity can never depend on an individual. Governor Dewey has the faith in America to recognize and accomplish the requirements for peace and prosperity.

Governor Dewey has the faith in America to recognize and accomplish the requirements for peace and prosperity. THROB OF A HEART BEAT How important is the vice president of the United States of America? He is the second most important man in America because he is the man that may become President of the United States at any second—at a throb of a heart beat. Yes, only a single heartbeat stands between the vice president and the highest office on earth—the President of the United States. Just stop and think. Under Candidate Roosevelt, we have Harry Truman! And who is Harry Truman? Well, he's the man who was "made" a U. S. Senator by Boss Pendergast of Missouri, who in 1934 boasted "he wanted to show that he could name his office boy to the United States Senate." This same Kansas City political boss recently was released from the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth. And too, Harry S. Truman was the choice of the bosses at the "Clear Everything with Sidney" Democratic convention in Chicago—he was the choice of Hague, Hillman, Hannegan—not forgetting Browder, the Communist. Governor John W. Bricker, who has served the State of Ohio for three terms, is the choice of the Republican party as Vice President of the United States. His administrative ability and his untarnished political associations stand the spotlight of closest scrutiny. WAR TAKES A HOLIDAY Despite the fact that the Dewey-Bricker campaign has just started, there are indications of jitters in the Democratic high command. Apparently word has arrived from the hinterlands that the fourth term candidate lacks the vote appeal he once possessed and that the political horizon is none too rosy. And such alarming reports from the grass roots called for a series of serious huddles where the situation had to be canvassed and decisions made, the first of which took Mr. Roosevelt out of his role of self-styled Commander-in-Chief of the American people at least temporarily and made him a politician seeking to remain in office. We now learn, as a result of the latest decision, that contrary to Mr. Roosevelt's earlier statement that the war requires his full attention and therefore politics would be soft-pedaled, he did address a labor organization on Sept. 23 and that he quite frankly made a political address. Another reason aside from the adverse reports from the states that may have forced him into the open as a man campaigning for office is the extremely bad reaction to his speeches made recently from the San Diego Naval Base and a shipyard at Bremerton, Wash. The New Deal high command discovered much to its chagrin, that the non-political label placed on those speeches just couldn't be put over on the voters. SECRET DIPLOMACY The continuing tendency of the New Deal to shroud its discussions with foreign nations in the utmost secrecy as evidenced at the food conference at White Sulphur, the monetary conference and the recent Dumbarton Oaks conference, prompted Senator Bridges, of New Hampshire, to roundly condemn such practice in the Senate of the United States. New Hampshire's solon was on firm ground when he declared that the American people are tired of this secrecy. They are not only tired of it, they are also suspicious of it and rightly so. Such secret discussions could lead to commitments on the part of the leaders of this To Serve on Jury Three men and ten women, residents of Anaheim district, among the 90 names drawn Tuesday by County Clerk B.

SECRET DIPLOMACY The continuing tendency of the New Deal to shroud its discussions with foreign nations in the utmost secrecy as evidenced at the food conference at White Sulphur, the monetary conference and the recent Dumbarton Oaks conference, prompted Senator Bridges, of New Hampshire, to roundly condemn such practice in the Senate of the United States. New Hampshire's solon was on firm ground when he declared that the American people are tired of this secrecy. They are not only tired of it, they are also suspicious of it and rightly so. Such secret discussions could lead to commitments on the part of the leaders of this nation inimical to the best interests of the nation as a whole. The founding fathers sought to prevent secret diplomacy by providing ratification of all treaties with foreign countries by the United States Senate, but this Administration has repeatedly bypassed the Constitutional requirement. The people are well aware of the New Deal record in this respect and they are therefore doubly suspicious. It is high time that the Government put a stop to the practice of surrounding these conferences with armed guards and "no trespassing" signs. The American people are entitled to know something of the agreements entered into in their name. WALLACE BITES BACK Vice President Henry Wallace, the latest friend to be jettisoned by President Roosevelt for expediency's sake, the other day loosed his first barb at Franklin Roosevelt. Asked at a conference in Brideport, Conn., if he could give assurance of release of some manpower and material immediately for production of peacetime goods, he replied, according to Associated Press report: "I can't assure anything. In fact, I'll add that no man in Washington can assure anything with the number of agencies set up there." Thus the New Dealer's inefficient conduct of the war is stressed by the Second Top New Dealer! GHOSTS Out of the Democratic National Convention—where supposedly men of independent thought were controlled like puppets—the came three strange bedfellows; perhaps the strangest bedfellows ever spawned in a political nest. Bedfellow Number one was Franklin Roosevelt; Number two was his bitter critic, Senator Harry Truman of Missouri; Number three was a ghost, risen from the dead to plague both men. In his role as vice presidential candidate, Harry Truman wants to forget many of his critical remarks aimed at Franklin Roosevelt. But the ghostly memory lingers on, whispering constantly such reminders of wastefulness and inefficiency as these: "We are in danger of losing this war in Washington. We are in danger of losing it because red tape and bureaucratic waste, because of conflicts between military and civilian agencies, because of over-bald-faced Herefords were purchased, 95% of them two years old age and younger, with many yearlings and calves.

Alpha Beta's 21 modern supermarkets. In spite of the company's creasing need for meat, it will continue to release nearly 50% of its product to the armed forces and gesture of patriotic zeal. Mr. Gerrard reports with great thusiasm: "New Mexico is coming into its own as a great cattle-raising state. It has been greatly aid by the federal Taylor Grazing Act which has limited the number of cattle per section which may be pastured in that state. This has ensured sufficient feed and has eliminated rivalries and controversies which characterized early New Mexico history. The ranchers through scientific up-breeding have succeeded materially in raising the quality of stock on their ranches. Our valuable contacts there, developed through many years of cattle buying, enable us to obtain the very cream of the stock." Two of the Alpha Beta stores are located in Anaheim, one at 44 East Center Street, and the second store at 510 West Central Street. lapping jurisdictions and the few These are excerpts from an article in the November, 1942, issue of ship is what we Americans are fighting mad. All we ask is that halt the selfish fights for power, which have so far blocked. We owe it to ourselves to increase productive energies."

Wetton, Rt. 3, Box Frank Belmont Distributes $4,000 to Employees, War Chest Fund at Banquet Frank Belmont, operator of the Granada Packing House, "stole" his own show last night when at the annual employees' banquet he distributed $3,349 in prizes and bonuses to the workers and added $774.25 to the employees' War Chest Fund to make their contribution an even $1,000.00. Every employee of the big packing house firm made a contribution to the War Chest, bringing the concern into the 100-percent bracket. The banquet, an elaborately planned affair, was held at the Elks club dining room and was attended by about 200 employees and officials of the packing house and their wives, and a large group of invited guests, newspaper men and photographers. In the role of master of ceremonies Bert A. Arnold company services well performed by the employees amounting to $3,349 which climaxed a perfect evening following the sumptuous banquet enjoyed by the employees and guests. Mayor Chas. A. Pearson, general chairman of the War Chest Fund, was presented a check by Mr. Belmont in the amount of $1,000, represent­ing $225.75 contributed by the employees and $774.25 contribu­ted by the Granada Packing House to make an even $1,000. In his introductory remarks Toastmaster Arnold stated that Mr. Belmont, besides taking an active part in all local civic work, is also a member of the United States Chamber of Commerce, the State Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Bureau, the Citrus Managers Com- Simple Beef Supply Suiced Local Alpha Beta Stores Alpha Beta Food Markets are used an ample supply of high-quality beef and veal through the winter months and until March of the year as the result of a successful buying trip just completed by company officials.

The banquet, an elaborately planned affair, was held at the Elks club dining room and was attended by about 200 employees and officials of the packing house and their wives, and a large group of invited guests, newspaper men and photographers. In the role of master of ceremonies, Bert A. Arnold, company personnel manager, introduced Belmont, head of the packing concern and sponsor of the party, who spoke briefly, principally for the purpose of thanking the employees for their cooperation and loyalty which has contributed to the outstanding success of the big packing concern since it was established here in 1942. During his remarks Mr. Belmont also took occasion to thank the city officials of Anaheim for their cooperation and touched upon several political angles pertinent to the current season. He predicted even a bigger year for his packing house next season, due partly to better crops and to the fact that the packing house now has a reputation of three years of fair dealing with the growers to its credit. This year, Mr. Belmont said, the growers dealing with his plant have received an average of $3.00 per field box, net, for their fruit. He attributes part of the success of his packing house operations to the fact that with two houses in the San Joaquin Valley and another at Riverside, and the big plant at Anaheim, he is able to supply his eastern buyers with choice fruit the year around, making a constant contact with the wholesale outlets. In his remarks he called attention to the recent hurricane in Florida which is officially credited with a 40 to 50 percent damage to the grapefruit crop, and 20 percent damage to the oranges in that citrus area. While this circumstance is unfortunate for the Florida growers, it does at the same time mean better marketing conditions for the California citrus industry, he pointed out. Short speeches were also made by Field Superintendent E. L. Miller who told of conditions in the field, and John Knapp, production superintendent, who thanked the employees for their cooperation during the successful season now closing. N. E. Faessel, sales manager, gave an interesting review of the work of his department re- ANAHEIM ELKS NAMED ON STATE COMMITTEES Two Anaheim Elks club members have been appointed to committees of the State Elks association by President Stephen Compass of Huntington Park.

County Quota in Sixth War Loan Drive Announced by Local Finance Chairman Orange County's total quota for the 6th War Loan drive has been set at $9,300,000. The quota assigned to individuals of the county is $5,050,000, Paul H. Demaree, local War Finance Committee, announced in making public the figures. The total for each county in Southern California is slightly less than the quota in the 5th War Loan drive, and community quotas will be reduced accordingly, he said. The amount of Bonds which this community must sell in the drive, which starts November 20th, has not yet been determined, but is expected to be announced within the next few days. Southern California's total quota this time is $451,000,000 as compared with $512,000,000 in the 5th drive. Individuals of the area must buy $202,000,000 in Bonds, as against $246,000,000 in the previous campaign. County quotas were set at the recent regional War Finance conference held in Los Angeles, which was addressed by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and Ted R. Gamble, Director of the War Finance Division, Washington, D.C. Drive leaders were present from this and other counties of the Southland. Stress will be laid during the coming drive on the need of Bond sales to finance the war in the Pacific, which is reaching a critical stage.

Phillips, entertained in various parts of the county this week, told his listeners everywhere that our armed might is assured of victory on the European front; he cited one incident to show how well our armies are organized. Engineers went in under protection of big guns, during the invasion, and actually set up harbor installations including piers and cranes—nullifying the destruction of evacuating Germans. Veterans Back Dewey and Bricker, Says Las. D. Van Wyk, County Leader Troy Helsing, Anaheim; Dave Day, Fullerton; George Bickford, Orange; Howard Bowers, Brea; George Kellogg, Placentia-Yorba Linda; Lucian Proud, La Habra; Major Wooldridge, San Clemente. R. (Dick) Haster, Garden Grove; Fred R. (Pop) Dukes, Buena Park; Eddie Allen, Huntington Beach; R. R. Randel, Newport Harbor District; Verner P. Rush, Laguna; C. Russell Cook, San Juan Capistrano; Charles Logan, Tustin. "The veterans of all wars in line with other patriotic groups of Orange County, feel that the Anti-Veteran Record of Candidate Roosevelt and the placement of Communists and other subversives in places of power are reason enough for a change of administration," Van Wyk said. Candidate Bricker is a veteran of the last war and a member of the American Legion since its inception. New Caltone Plant Nears Completion; Permit for $50,000 Following the virtual completion of the large factory building of the Caltone Company citrus byproduct plant in the northside industrial area, a front structure of brick is being erected to house the company's offices and sales department. On Monday of this week a building permit was issued by Inspector R. Nyboe for $50,000 covering the building. With adequate grounds for future expansion the present structure will occupy a space 75x196 feet in length and 20 feet wide. Phillips, entertained in various parts of the county this week, told his listeners everywhere that our armed might is assured of victory on the European front; he cited one incident to show how well our armies are organized. Engineers went in under protection of big guns, during the invasion, and actually set up harbor installations including piers and cranes—nullifying the destruction of evacuating Germans. All this good news from the war front has not led England to relax its rationing restrictions or other wartime economies; rather it has made Britishers work harder for final victory. America can take a lesson from that, Phillips challenged. The Congressman, reviewing political situations as he saw them, told of an "east to west" trend sweeping the country for Governor Dewey. Phillips spoke to a luncheon meeting at Laguna Monday, headed a torchlight parade in Anaheim Tuesday night and later spoke here; was guest of Santa Ana Kiwanis Club at noon Wednesday and a Pro-America tea at Ebell Clubhouse that afternoon. Tonight, Thursday, he will dine with Huntington Beach Lions Club and reported to the people at a public meeting later. Although claiming to be handicapped, American agriculture has risen to 140 percent above normal during the last few years, bringing the greatest prosperity the farmers have ever known, was the gist of remarks made by Congressman John Phillips in his address at the high school Tuesday night following the "torchlight" parade through the downtown district. Congressman Phillips, who recently returned from a trip to the war zones of Europe, gave many interesting sidelights on conditions in England and France, some of which are covered in his personal column in this issue of The Gazette. Men of the armed forces are well cared for in every phase of this war, he said, citing instances he had witnessed of men being brought to hospitals in England within two hours after they were wounded in France. The medical corps is so well organized that medical attention is given in case of injury within from two to five minutes, a tribute to the conduct of the war abroad. Also, the fighting men are equipped with emergency supplies with which they can administer first aid to themselves the instant they are Following the virtual completion of the large factory building of the Caltone Company citrus by-product plant in the northside industrial area, a front structure of brick is being erected to house the company's offices and sales department. On Monday of this week a building permit was issued by Inspector R. Nyboe for $50,000 covering the building. With adequate grounds for future expansion the present structure will occupy a space 75x196 feet and will be one of the most modern plants in the district. Santa Ana Air Base To Redistribution Center for Army It has been officially announced that the vast facilities of the Santa Ana Army Air Base, where more than 125,000 flying cadets received their primary training is to be turned into a redistribution command. The big training base has been in operation since early in 1942 and has been one of the principal training fields on the west coast. It is expected that the changeover will take place on November first, and that the military and civilian personnel now at the base will be retained, while the strictly training personnel will be absorbed by other training base fields. Returned servicemen, demobilization, care of convalescent patients, over-seas replacements, and recruiting personnel for post-war permanent air force, will account for some of the activits of the huge air base set-up under the new organization.
