COLONY QUIPS Re: Rose Bowl game. We feel like dashing off an open letter to Jeff Cravath but being something less than an expert on football don't want to expose too much ignorance. Of course, football experts can get away with murder because most fans views are biased so badly they either agree or disagree—violently. The resulting discussion loses sight of the experts inexperience and the loud noise takes the place of thinking. But to get back to Tuesday's game, Alabama went out and played the game by blocking when they had the ball and tackling when the Trojans had it. After all blocking and tackling are the game of football. SC seemed to be playing basketball and were a bit afraid of getting their beautiful white jerseys solled on the turf. The 'Bama offense was old as the hills, they came out of the huddle in a balanced line with the backs lined up in the old T formation and shifted either to right or left in the Notre Dame or split box with the end split to the strong side. Well that sounds technical but is the way football was played twenty-five years ago. With proper blocking no better 'system' (to our mind) can be devised. Some coaches like the unbalanced line and it may have advantages. But in our humble opinion no 'system' in football is worth a 'hoot' without blocking—and good hard blocking with down on the lower boxes, eyebrow brushes, dumb-bells — and picnic type lunch-boxes! Have talked to one of those supermen who tried to see the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl football game all in the same day. He admits now that Superman himself would have hard going to get the job done. Seeing the Rose parade is like playing in the Rose Bowl game. You can feel it all over. U. S. Atty. Charles H. Carr of Los Angeles hasn't given up his hopes of bringing California-born Tokyo Rose here for trial on a charge of treason. The native of Inglewood attempted throughout the war with Japan to foment unrest among members of the American armed forces by description of things at home, in contrast to the hardships and dangers they were undergoing. Her first-hand knowledge of things American made her broadcasts all the more convincing, and that she did not succeed was to the credit of the American fighting man, rather than to the discredit of her ability. Carr left recently for Washington and said that, among other things, he hopes to Cans on Beaches Constitute Period Warning that metal cans washed up on from Palos Verdes to the can border are dangerous been issued by the navy.

Not knowing anything about the internal workings of the company we cannot say how the price will be determined. Many years ago the press was constrained from being present at the annual meeting where all these matters (and others) were threshed out. This action was taken because of a bit of too zealous reporting on the part of the late Henry Kuchel and we are going to tell the story one of these days unless some bribery takes place. When Anaheim was first laid out the lines for the canal from the river was an integral part of the project. In fact the water was about the most important part in the economic structure of the embryonic community. Judge Pleasants was bringing down grape cuttings from Wolfskill's and the young plants had to have water to survive. Many Indians living in the hills were brought in to do the excavation on the canal and the grading on the streets and all of the work had to be completed simultaneously. The first contingent of colonists were due in early spring and Superintendent Hansen was a busy man. The point of the story is that when the first settlers arrived the Vineyard Society was a going concern and all the bills were paid. While many business men have been tearing their hair to increase production and still stay within OPA price policies, that agency removed the cellings from: Canned fishing bait, pretzels, ice cream cones, casket hardware, bouillion cubes, imported up in the old formation and shifted either to right or left in the Notre Dame or split box with the end split to the strong side. Well that sounds technical but is the way football was played twenty-five years ago. With proper blocking no better 'system' (to our mind) can be devised. Some coaches like the unbalanced line and it may have advantages. But in our humble opinion no 'system' in football is worth a 'hoot' without blocking—and good hard blocking with down on the turf. The boys on the team also have to be eager to play a winning game. Yes, its great to be a football coach—but not if your team loses. 105 Fire Alarms Here Last Year, With $9450 Loss Eight alarms to which the Anaheim fire department responded last month brought the total for the year to 105, the report of Fire Chief R. Nyboe reveals. No property loss resulted from any of the December fires, of which four were classed as "silent alarms." IF YOU'RE SO SMART, DEFINE 'SILENT' ALARM When Fire Chief "Slim" Nyboe began talking about "silent" fire alarms, this reporter assumed an "oh yeah" air. All the fire alarms with which we are familiar sounded about as "silent" as a busy day in a boiler works. Those lads who breathe smoke and roll hell-bent for-leather, through crowded traffic on careening trucks, didn't earn that nick-name, "drunken painters," by being easy on the ears! The chief condescendingly apprised us—and you?—by explaining that calls for the inhalator, an awning smouldering from a carelessly-flipped cigarette butt, or a wall made warm to the touch by a "busted" hot water pipe are classed, in firefighters' parlance, as "silent" alarms. Loss aggregating $9450 resulted from the 105 fires here last year. However the fire trucks responded in only 81 cases, the others being silent alarms. Eleven of the latter were calls for the inhalator and six of the cases responded to treatment. Only 23 structural fires were experienced in Anaheim in 1945. In fighting the fires, Nyboe's report shows, the department laid throughout the war with Japan to foment unrest among members of the American armed forces by description of things at home, in contrast to the hardships and dangers they were undergoing. Her first-hand knowledge of things American made her broadcasts all the more convincing, and that she did not succeed was to the credit of the American fighting man, rather than to the discredit of her ability. Carr left recently for Washington and said that, among other things, he hopes to obtain a ruling on whether the case of Tokyo Rose comes under civil or military jurisdiction. Wage earners and salary employees will empty their envelopes and cash their checks this year with thinking they have had a raise. Reason is the reduction took effect last Tuesday, in holding, reflecting the cuteral taxes which became Jan. 1.

Riley announces that the general fund cash excess over current obligations on November 30, 1945, was $102,170,909, as compared with an excess of $89,326,507 at the end of the preceding month and with an excess of $82,747,476 on November 30, 1944. The present cash excess, said Riley, represents an increase of $12,844,402 over the excess of October 31, 1945. Of this increase, $12,844,258 represents the excess of November, 1945, revenue over November governmental cost expenditures and the remainder of the increase, or $144, miscellaneous non-revenue receipts. General fund revenues deposited in the state treasury during the first five months of California's 97th fiscal year totaled $133,397,392—an increase of $26,037,086 over collections for the same period last year. LEAD INCREASES The major increases in revenue occurred in retail sales and use taxes, $22,206,497; inheritance taxes, $1,746,542; liquor taxes and licenses, $1,676,429; and bank and corporation franchise and corporation income taxes, $1,224,-867. These together with other smaller increases, were partially offset by decreases in other revenues, resulting in a net total increase of $26,037,086. General fund expenditures during the first five months totaled $173,789,405—a decrease of $6,-344,136 under expenditures for the same period last year. The major decrease in expenditures resulted from a smaller total of special transfers from the general fund by legislative enactments during the first five months of the 97th fiscal year than during the same period last year. The 1945 legislature, with the approval of the governor, authorized the following transfers from the general fund, which were effected during the months of September and October, 1945: to the postwar employment reserve fund, $500,000; to the postwar unemployment and construction fund, $90,000,000; to the bond sinking fund of 1943, $11,651,490; (Continued on Page 5) Cans on Beaches Constitute Peril Warning that metal cans being washed up on beaches from Palos Verdes to the Mexican border are dangerous has been issued by the navy.

Double the number of reamers that were in operation during the past season gear the plant's output to keep pace with other enlargements.

The ceilings were removed November 19. Unexpected price raises after removal of the controls was the explanation given for reimposing price limits. The sudden action of the governmental agency has thrown the packing industry into turmoil, according to a spokesman here. Jobbers and receivers, which include brokers, wholesale distributors and retailers, are loaded with high-priced fruit, which it is necessary for them to clean up before considering new supplies.

Season is the reduction which took effect last Tuesday, in withholding, reflecting the cut in federal taxes which became effective Jan. 1. Slashing changes lopped almost $7 billion dollars off the taxayers' burden, first time it has been lightened in 16 years. In addition to making less severe the amount taken from pay envelopes and salary checks in the form of withholding tax, the changes remove some 12 million earners of low incomes from the income tax list entirely and cut much taxes of others earning up to $50,000 a year 10 per cent. It also does away with federal review on World War II service pay for enlisted men and gives officers three years in which to pay their income taxes on pay received while in service. NO USE TAX The $5 use tax on automobiles and boats is repealed, effective next July. The social security tax is frozen at 1 per cent for both employee and employer. It had been scheduled to jump Jan. 1 for both to 2.5 per cent. Another change is removal of the 85.5 per cent excess profits tax on corporations. Persons who now pay only the per cent normal levy against all net incomes above $500 will be exempted from income tax under the new law. This is done by crediting surtax exemptions of $500 for the taxpayer and $500 for each dependent to the normal tax.

Bowers Dies Suddenly at His Home in Brea Howard E. Bowers, well known to a number of citizens of Anaheim, having been employed for a short time on the editorial staff of the Gazette, died very suddenly at his home in Brea last Tuesday, New Year's day, after suffering a heart attack. Mr. Bowers was the former publisher and editor of the "Brea Progress," newspaper in that city, selling his plant there a year ago, after which he was employed for a short time with the "Daily Enterprise" in Riverside. He recently established a commercial print shop in Santa Ana. Well known in newspaper circles in southern California, Mr. Bowers served as an officer of packing industry into turmoil, according to a spokesman here.

Mrs. Esther Ford Dies Today After Extended Illness Mrs. Esther C. Ford, a native of England and a resident of Anaheim 34 years, died this morning at her home, 229 East Cypress street, following an extended illness. She was 65 years old. Born at Rugby, England, Mrs. Ford came to the United States in 1892. She engaged in the millinery business during much of her residence here. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Florence Davis and Mrs. F.M. Zeppenfield, both of Anaheim, and a brother, James Grewco of Brea. Her husband, Howard F.Ford, died in 1932.

Withholding for a married person without children begins at 122 a week, when the amount is 20 cents. That rate of pay for a single man calls for withholding of $2 a week. A married couple with one child pays 10 cents a week on weekly earnings of $32. A married couple without children pays $1.90 on the same earnings, and a single person, $3.70. TWO CHILDREN, $43 Parents of two dependent children begin paying 10 cents a week on $43 a week. Couples with one child pay $2 on the same wages; a childless couple, $3.80 and a single person $5.60.

For a couple with two children, the rate on the same wage is $2; for parents of one child, $3.80; for a couple without children, $5.70; and for an unmarried person, $7.50. Luxury taxes on jewelry, cosmetics, luggage, furs and liquor remain unchanged. Hearing Today on Charge of Assault Preliminary hearing for Jesus P. Serna, 22, 409 Clementine street, on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon is set for today before City Judge Frank Tausch here. The charge is the outgrowth of a knifing affray in a pool hall on North Los Angeles street Christmas eve, in which Ignacio V. Godoy, 36, 1018 Kemp street, was stabbed in the left lung. The victim has been in the Anaheim Lutheran hospital since.

Born at Rugby, England, Mrs. Ford came to the United States in 1892. She engaged in the millinery business during much of her residence here. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Florence Davis and Mrs. F. M. Zeppenfield, both of Anaheim, and a brother, James Grewco of Brea. Her husband, Howard F. Ford, died in 1932.

Federal Man Cited On Hit-Run Charge Charles Slack, a chauffeur for the U.S. department of agriculture's labor bureau, 113 West Broadway, was cited for alleged hit-and-run driving in Santa Ana last Thursday. Slack, whose home is in Los Angeles, was declared by Santa Ana police to have failed to stop after a government-owned car they said he was driving struck two cars parked on Santa Ana streets. A coupe, which police said was driven by Lacy L. Stewart of the El Toro marine base, struck an automobile belonging to E. C. Duncan and parked in front of his home 1018 East Broadway, shortly after midnight Friday.

This is believed to be one of the largest volumes ever rolled up by an independent. Despite the fact that oranges which made up the 1945 valencia crop were of unusually small size, return to the growers is approximately as much per acre as for the 1944 crop, according to Belmont. Popular belief has existed that last year's valencia crop would show a relatively poor return. Belmont quoted figures on the season's pack to show that the average net return to the grower was $2.26 per field box on fruit purchased by his firm. He explained that his field boxes are 12 per cent larger than standard, which means that the net equals $2 for a standard field box. 1945 BUILDING PERMITS HERE TOTAL MORE THAN A MILLION DOLLARS, SETTING NEW RECORD Building activities of unprecedented proportions for Anaheim are indicated by the annual report of Building Inspector R. Nyboe, which shows that 349 building permits were issued by his office last year set a new record, with a total of $1,005,174. Of the permits issued here last year 75 are for new residences. This is an increase of 61, or 21 per cent, over the 288 building permits issued in Anaheim during 1944. Investment involved shows an increase of $71,606, approximately 27 per cent, over the total of $265,310 called for by permits issued in the previous year. Military Immunity From Civil Laws Ordered Ended Recent change in policy ordered by the War Department ends arrangements whereby military personnel is answerable in wartime only to military authority for infractions of state and municipal laws. Previous nearest approach to last year's total was in 1938, when the amount was $959,949. Next largest was 1935, with $630,698. 45 IN DECEMBER Permits issued in the final month of 1945 numbered 45, calling for expenditure of new residential units. Permits issued in December, 1944, were 20 less in number than for the same month of 1945, and they called for but $16,213. The total would have been much larger but for a change in Military Immunity From Civil Laws Ordered Ended Recent change in policy ordered by the War Department ends arrangements whereby military personnel is answerable in wartime only to military authority for infractions of state and municipal laws, Chief of Police T. L. Wilder has been advised. In future, men and women in uniform who may violate civil law will be subject to arrest, trial and punishment by civil agencies. Noification of the change came in separate communications from Lt. Col. Gerard N. Byrne, director of the Security division, Southern district, Ninth Service command, Los Angeles; Col. C. W. Farnum, chief of staff, Santa Ana Army Air Base, and Capt. Robert C. Hayes, senior patrol officer, Naval Shore Patrol headquarters, El Toro Marine Corps air station. The only exception is when members of the armed services violate traffic regulations while driving government vehicles. Such cases will continue to be processed through military channels, Wilder said, in order to keep to a minimum any chance of interfering with military operations even in peacetime. In the past, all cases involving infractions of the traffic code, as well as other law violations by members of the armed services, have been turned over by Anaheim police, as well as by other peace officers, to the military police or the shore patrol for final disposition. In future, such violators will be ordered into city court in the same manner as civilian offenders. SON FOR GOODRICHES A son was born at 4 o'clock this morning to Mr. and Mrs. G. P.

Kuchel to Ask Legislature For Veterans’ Loan Increase Increasing the amount of state loans to World War II veterans desiring to own their own homes in the prime objective Kuchel to Ask Legislature For Veterans’ Loan Increase Increasing the amount of state loans to World War II veterans desiring to own their own homes is the prime objective of Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel of Anaheim, as he prepares to leave this weekend to participate in the special session of the state legislature, called by Governor Warren last month. The session will convene Monday. Under the law passed at the last regular session, amount of such loans is set at a maximum of $6500. “I believe the amount of loans to veterans of California should be increased at least $1000, to permit veterans to build homes under conditions existing in the construction industry today,” Senator Kuchel said. “The present limit on such loans certainly will not permit that. TO LEND SUPPORT “If someone introduces a bill that meets with my idea of what the law should embody, I will support it. Otherwise, I will introduce a bill, myself. In either case, I'll do everything in my power to assure its passage.” The Governor included the matter of loans to veterans in his call for the special session. A copy of the agenda is expected by Senator Kuchel before he leaves for Sacramento, although it had not reached him early today. News service reports state that the agenda includes 44 items, culled from 240 requests which reached the governor. Veterans' benefits is one of four left open for members of the legislature to act on according to their own ideas. Others are housing, urban development and public works. Kuchel, a veteran of Navy service himself, has first-hand knowledge of the difficulties confronting veterans, seeking to find homes for their families, since his discharge some three months ago. CALIFORNIA LEADS “Loans to veterans should be made as simple and speedy as possible,” he declares. “California already has set a pattern for other states in this matter, many of which do not as yet have any such law. “However, I believe we should go farther than we have, to date. We have made great strides in eliminating red tape, and I believe the remaining conditions that lead to delay will be erased during the coming special session. In my opinion, prospects are very bright that we will accomplish this objective.” In addition to Senator Kuchel, Orange county will be represented at the session by its two assemblymen, Sam Collins of Fullerton and Clyde Watson of Orange. The special session is expected to continue over a period of several weeks.
