COLONY QUIPS Earl Steadman received a letter from an old friend a day or so ago and it was addressed to his father who was the former city marshal. Frank Steadman has passed on to his reward quite a few years ago but his character and uprightness live on. Anyway, Earl got the letter, opened it and found it to be from William J. Oberlander now a resident of Whitewater, Wis. This man, he was a boy then, worked for Billy Warner and John Hann in the old livery barn. Later he worked for Herman Stock in the old truck and transfer (now Mayor Pearson's Anaheim Truck and Transfer). Earl Steadman is authority for the statement that Bill Oberlander rose rapidly in the esteem of his fellow townsmen, finally becoming an "honorary member" of the "Dirty Dozen." We heard it whispered, when very young, that to belong to this "Dirty Dozen" was about as high an honor as mortal men could aspire to but we never did find out just who the members were. Bill Oberlander said in his letter that he was going to visit Anaheim one of these days. Maybe we can find out then. And we'll print the names. Jim Farquhar, editor of the Huntington Beach News, will seek the state senate seat vacated by Controller Tom Kuchel. This special election will probably be held with the regular primary of June 4, but has not as yet been definitely set. At the present writing the only other candidate for MARKETS SIGN WITH UNION; NO "CLOSED SHOP" Labor relations continue a leading subject in Orange county; highlighted by announcement Tuesday that five of the six largest independent food markets have signed contracts with the Retail Clerks' union. A committee of six members of the food market industries division of the Employers' Industrial Relations council acted as mediator in negotiating the contract. THOSE WHO SIGNED Included in the list of signers are: Vic Borchard of Borchard's market; Joe Hershiser of Joe's market; W. L. Truman of Truman's Empire market, and C. R. Sackerson of Santa Ana Saving Centers, all of Santa Ana, and B. W. Robinson of Robinson's market in Fullerton. Chain markets, including the Safeway and Alpha Beta, which operate installations in Anaheim, already have union contracts.

Jim Farquhar, editor of the Huntington Beach News, will seek the state senate seat vacated by Controller Tom Kuchel. This special election will probably be held with the regular primary of June 4, but has not as yet been definitely set. At the present writing the only other candidate for the office is Assemblyman Clyde Watson of Orange. The Orange county coast line has made a tremendous population gain in the last ten years and if the same advance is made in the next decade this section of the country will be a mighty political force. It is no wonder that the people along the coast want some representation in our state legislature. The tideland oil fields are important to the whole county. Things that go on in Washington and Sacramento directly affect these fields off Huntington Beach. We reprint below a part of Jim Farquhar's column of last week on the Truman-Ickes' "blow-up" to show how Huntington Beach is in this picture. Read it. **OIL—By Jim Farquhar** Ickes' break with Truman has furnished a war weary world more laughs than any news from political circles since the Jesse Jones-Henry Wallace set to. "The old curmudgeon," as he calls himself, has been a stormy petrol for 40 years. Back in the days when party regularity was deemed a virtue, he kept the old Chicago political crowd in a constant turmoil, leaping from one party to another as the mood seized him. How Roosevelt put up with him so long is a mystery. His final crime for telling where his outfit got the big campaign money from, what the givers were to get for it and who lugged it in, is something that just isn't done. He must have been wild with rage to chatter that kind of inside stuff. Evident it is now that when he backed Wallace for the vice presidential nomination and Pauley put his money on Truman, that was where the real finish fight was staged. Both knew Roosevelt was dying. As many others in high places did. Pauley won. Ickes lost. The day Truman was nominated, Ickes was a dead duck. **THOSE WHO SIGNED** Included in the list of signers are: Vic Borchard of Borchard's market; Joe Hershiser of Joe's market; W. L. Truman of Truman's Empire market, and C. R. Sackerson of Santa Ana Saving Centers, all of Santa Ana, and B. W. Robinson of Robinson's market in Fullerton. Chain markets, including the Safeway and Alpha Beta, which operate installations in Anaheim, already have union contracts. Reports persist that operators of independent markets here are considering signing union contracts. B. H. Baker, operator of Baker's market in Santa Ana, sixth of the larger independents, had not revealed his decision on the matter yesterday. Major clauses in the new contracts, as announced by William H. Carter, who resigned his position as executive secretary of the Employers' Industrial Relations council to become its labor relations consultant, include: No provision for a closed shop; new employees must apply for union membership within six days after employment, but need not join for 30 days; 40-hour week, with time and a half for overtime, owners need not take out union membership; stores operated by a man and wife are not to be required to maintain union contracts. **MANAGERS EXEMPT** One manager in each market with union contracts, is exempt from union membership; the union agrees not to invoke boycott procedure against Excelsior dairy products until they can offer products of another firm with (Continued on Page 11) **Business Series Talks Postponed** In order not to conflict with a banquet to he given at the Elks club at the same time, honoring the members of the St. Louis Browns baseball team, tonight's lecture in the Business Planning Institute series, sponsored by the chamber of commerce, has been postponed until March 7. The lectures are held at the high school. Theme of the next of the series is "Attracting More Customers." Two experts in their fields will deliver the lectures. Irvin Borders will talk on "Advertising and Sales Promotion," and Harry H. Hamilton will discuss "Display Procedures." **Labor Activity Subject of Two County Meetings** Dr. Dan Gilbert, LLD, nationally-known lecturer, author, newspaper columnist, will attend two meetings in Orange county next week on "How Does Union Activities in Our County Affect You?" Sponsored by the Association Farmers of Orange County meetings will be held at Winters junior high school, 'Santa Monica Monday, March 4, and at Helmium union high school, Tuesday March 5. Both will begin at p.m. **WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?** "Decision to sponsor the meetings was reached because my people, cognizant of the fact there has been a lot of labor activity in the county really, have been asking 'what all about,'" George A. Gray secretary of the farmers' organization explained. We believed people are so well qualified speak on the subject as is Gilbert." Graham also explained choice of the speaker result from numerous requests for reappearance by Gilbert, as a sult of an address he delivered in Anaheim recently before combined meeting of service on Monday and Tuesday are the open dates he has had since time. A native Californian, Gilbert has spent much of his time recent years in the national capital. He plans to start east about March 15. **WELL QUALIFIED TO SPEAK** "His contacts and expertise there qualify him to speak authority on this important project," Graham avers. "It is erally considered that both national and state legislation control union activities is inevitable. Every American—mercant manufacturer, farmer, house returned serviceman and worker—is invited to attend and to attain dependable knowledge of subject of vital interest." Dr. Gilbert, who was born reared in central California, later spent several years at Diego, now is making his ten He must have been wild with rage to chatter that kind of inside stuff. Evident it is now that when he backed Wallace for the vice presidential nomination and Pauley put his money on Truman, that was where the real finish fight was staged. Both knew Roosevelt was dying. As many others in high places did. Pauley won. Ickes lost. The day Truman was nominated, Ickes was a dead duck. All he has been hanging on to since has been sufferance. Evidently he still hoped to keep in the limelight by his grandiose scheme to seize tideland oil bordering on all states in the name of the federal government. It would have been a good trick if he could do it. And quite a parcel of the oil he would have seized, would have jeopardized the rich holdings of his arch rival, Pauley, within the municipal confines of Huntington Beach. Now that the Ickes' bomb has burst, rumors are rife that his political protege, Henry Wallace, will also quit. Then, so the story goes, Ickes will go to work in earnest to put Wallace over for President in 1948. Party labels no longer count for much. To Ickes they never did mean anything. With Wallace, the torch bearer for "the common man" and the CIO Political Action Committee, furnishing the cash, Ickes, "the Thunderer," might put on a pretty good show at that.

Somehow or other we never put off until tomorrow the things we shouldn't do at all. Browns baseball team, tonight's lecture in the Business Planning Institute series, sponsored by the chamber of commerce, has been postponed until March 7. The lectures are held at the high school. Theme of the next of the series is "Attracting More Customers." Two experts in their fields will deliver the lectures. Irvin Borders will talk on "Advertising and Sales Promotion," and Harry H. Hamilton will discuss "Display Procedures." Last week's session was well attended; as was the first of the series, held two weeks ago. General subject of the lectures last week was "Preparing the Store for Your Customers." George M. Rankin, a recognized authority on industrial- and community lighting applications, spoke on proper illumination in retail stores. Leo Hungerford, prominent among heating and ventilating engineers, treated on those subjects. Del Monte Reported Favored For 'Annapolis of the West' News from Washington Tuesday that the Monterey area first choice of the Navy for its proposed post-graduate training school was received here with distinct disappointment. Hopes had been pretty generally entertained that an Orange county site, possibly in the vicinity of Newport-Balboa, would be chosen for the "Annapolis of the West." "A responsible congressional source" was credited by a news service correspondent with indicating that a board of high-ranking Navy officials have recommended the Monterey site, after a nationwide inspection tour. Rep. George Outland (D-Calif.), who has urged Del Monte as the location, was quoted with saying he believes that area "has a good chance," if the idea of a post-graduate school, separate from the Naval academy at Annapolis finally is approved. Orange county backers of idea of location here are notpected to abandon such plan basis of rumor such as the published this week. In trust, it is to be expected local agitation will become more concerted, pending final nouncement of the choice of location. Suitable location on the u bay at Newport-Balboa is able; and Orange county boo believe that other conditions t are ideal for use of the scho ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1946 Can't Hike 1946 Rent at Beaches Without 1945 OK Only such owners of rental each property as were granted permission last year to increase their rates may charge higher in this season, according to Egg Watson, assistant director of the OPA rental unit for Orge county. Watson estimated that sumer rental of approximately 50 or cent of beach property will increased. He stressed, however, that adlords letting their property on an adjusted basis the yearand may not hike rates during the summer peak demand. Gabor Activity Subject of Two County Meetings Mr. Dan Gilbert, LLD, nationknown lecturer, author and spaper columnist, will address Four Mexican Brothers... WON SILVER, BRONZE STARS AND TWO PURPLE HEARTS Jesus H. Santibanez arrived home from the war last week. Now the four sons of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Santibanez, 116 South Vine street, are all home again. All served their adopted country in the time of her need: Two were wounded. One is a dyed-in-the wool-hero, being decorated with a Silver Star and a Bronze Star, to prove it. The boys are: Joe, 26 years old; Lupe, 24; Pete, 23, and Jesus, 21. The latter three all were born in Old Mexico, of which their parents still are citizens, although the boys have been naturalized to United States citizenship. Joe was born in Colorado. Joe was out-ranked by his three "kid" brothers. His sleeve bore only the dual stripes of corporal's rating, whereas the others were sergeants. Joe was with the 288th field artillery observation battalion in the European theater of war. He was discharged in January, after 21 months of service, 15 of which were spent in England, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and Germany. He went through the seas service was spent in the Pacific, as was that of his other two brothers. Lupe served in New Guinea and on Mindanao. He wears a Purple Heart to denote injury when a bullet passed through his shoulder. Lupe was discharged in December. Jesus, also a staff sergeant, was in service 2½ years, of which two years were spent in the Western Pacific with the 27th regiment of the 25th infantry division.

Labor Activity Subject of Two County Meetings Mr. Dan Gilbert, LLD, nation-known lecturer, author and paper columnist, will address meetings in Orange county at week on "How Does Presidency Union Activities in Orange County Affect You?" sponsored by the Associated Miners of Orange County, the meetings will be held at Willard for high school, 'Santa Ana, day, March 4, and at Anaheim union high school, Tuesday, March 5. Both will begin at 7:30 a.m. What's It All About? Decision to sponsor the meeting was reached because many people, cognizant of the fact that he has been a lot of labor unactivity in the county recent have been asking 'what's it about,'" George A. Graham,etary of the farmers' organization, explained. We believe few are so well qualified to ask on the subject as is Dr.ert." Graham also explained that one of the speaker resulted in numerous requests for a appearance by Gilbert, as a re- of an address he delivered Anaheim recently before a joined meeting of service clubs. Day and Tuesday are the first dates he has had since that native Californian, Gilbert spent much of his time in tent years in the national capita. He plans to start east again at March 15. All Qualified To Speak His contacts and experience qualify him to speak with morality on this important sub-. Graham avers.

Gilbert, who was born and lived in central California, and spent several years at San Diego, now is making his tempo-born in Colorado. Joe was out-ranked by his three "kid" brothers. His sleeve bore only the dual stripes of corporal's rating, whereas the others were sergeants. Joe was with the 288th field artillery observation battalion in the European theater of war. He was discharged in January, after 21 months of service, 15 of which were spent in England, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and Germany. He went through the "Battle of the Bulge" without injury. He is the only one of the quartet who is married, and resides at 112 South Vine street, next door to his parents. S/Sgt. Lupe served with the 163rd regiment of the 41st infantry division. His 27-months' over-a bullet passed through his shoulder. Lupe was discharged in December. Jesus, also a staff sergeant, was in service 2½ years, of which two years were spent in the Western Pacific with the 27th regiment of the 25th infantry division. He was on the 166-day Battle of Balete pass, which began two days after the Yanks landed at Lingayan gulf, and where the Japs stubbornly held on to protect their hiding places in the Northern Luzon hills. Like Lupe, he later served with occupation forces in Japan, being stationed near Nagoya while American forces disarmed the Japanese.

Kuchel announces that the general fund cash excess over current obligations on Jan. 31, 1946, was $108,-808,967, as compared with an excess of $110,456,710 at the end of the preceding month, and an excess of $84,726,268 on Jan. 31, 1945. The present cash excess, said Kuchel, is $1,647,743 under that of Dec. 31, 1945. Of this decrease $1,664,557 represents excess of January, 1946, governmental cost expenditures over January revenues, this amount being partially offset by $16,814 in miscellaneous non-revenue receipts, to arrive at the $1,647,743 net decrease. The major portion of the revenue increase occurred in the general fund's share of retail sales and use taxes, which increased $26,517,520 over the corresponding seven months last year.

The sales will be opened to all civilians, except civilian employees of the war department. Members of the armed services and officers on terminal leave also are prohibited from bidding.

More than 30 books have been opened by him on subjects of curricular events, and a number them treat with labor and subordinate activities. The major portion of the revenue increase occurred in the general fund's share of retail sales and use taxes, which increased $26,517,520 over the corresponding seven months last year. Of this amount, however, only $10,-267,734 was due to greater sales tax collections this year. The remainder of the total increase — $16,249,786 — represents a technical increase resulting from the fact that 20 per cent of the sales and use taxes were earmarked last year for the post-war employment reserve, whereas this year no such earmarking is made because the statute, which required the earmarking, become inoperative after June 30, 1945. Increases in revenue were partially offset by decreases in other revenues, resulting in the net total increase of $40,806,413. General fund expenditures during the first seven months of the fiscal year, as announced by Controller Kuchel, totaled $218,224,-924—an increase of $7,045,920 over expenditures for the same period last year. Major increases in expenditures occurred in the following functions: apportionments to counties for elementary schools, $7,205,736; University of California, $2,008,-440, and miscellaneous fixed charges and appropriations, $14,-490,098. These, together with other smaller increases, were partially offset by decreases in other functions, resulting in the net total increase of $7,045,920. The major decrease in expenditures, totaling $18,908,510, occurred as a result of statutory transfers from the general fund to other special funds and reserves.

Ogle's defense of the conduct of his office, which is under attack in a grand jury recommendation to the county board of supervisors that the office be abolished. At the same time, the grand jury issued a denial, over the signature of the foreman, Elmer L.

Witt described the welfare work of the Anaheim post, which included contacting and aiding 147 World War II veterans. Plans for election of local officers in March, and the May election of district officers preparatory to the June department of California convention, were discontinued. Possibility of a seven-man race for three seats on the city council, to be filled at the election April 9, looms this week. A fourth candidate, Joe Kaska, 522 South Ohio street, operator of an East Center street cleaning establishment, filed his nomination paper Monday. Others who had filed such papers earlier are Bob Boney and Oscar Heying, incumbents, and Ross Lee Laird. A fifth petition is being circulated for Jess Wilcox, an employee of Kaska, according to reports. Two additional petitions were obtained yesterday from the office of the city clerk. Clarence Pace, grocer, residing at 426 South Clementine street, said he would file his nomination paper before the deadline at noon today, after having been urged to do so by a number of friends. He has resided in Anaheim 14 years, and has been in business here all of that time, with the exception of two years he spent with the Navy hospital at Long Beach, in 1943 and 1944. The other was obtained by Emil H. Jensen, garage owner; who resides at 703 South Olive street. He refused to reveal who the petition is intended to nominate. In addition to those of Heying and Boney, the term of Leo J. Sheridan expires this year. Sheridan has refused to be a candidate for re-election. Kaska's petition was signed by: Grant W.

Crawford, of an article which appeared Feb. 20 in a county seat newspaper to the effect that a public hearing may be held on matters involved in the grand jury's criticism of conditions at the Orange county hospital. OTHER ACTIONS The jury also recommended that the board of supervisors move to allow Orange county cities to participate in the county dog pound; provide funds for automobile and office expenses, thereby allowing the county to obtain two additional assistant farm advisers offered by the state, and force all hog ranches feeding garbage to comply with laws requiring cleaning of feeding floors at least once daily, and prohibiting holding of garbage more than one day. It also "noted with pleasure" that the supervisors have adopted resolutions along line of the jury's recommendation concerning the county agricultural commissioner's office, which included resumption of activities curtailed during the war with employment of five additional men to fill all 12 posts; increase their present pay "in line with present-day salaries, thereby stopping the "costly practice" of training young men for private concerns; conduct a survey for pests that may have been introduced by movement of troops and supplies during the war, and spend $10,000 for repairing and equipping the county insectary, and a like amount for materials needed for pest eradication.

Bradley, chairman of the orchestra’s booking and publicity committee of the Anaheim Kiwanis club. Members of the orchestra alone had disposed of 360 tickets last Tuesday. Only 1600 seats are available. Fullerton service clubs, the P.-T.A. and the city’s schools are aiding in ticket sales. The recreation commission of the city of Fullerton, which is backing the concert, predicts that the event will be a “sell-out.” Marking the first appearance of the juvenile musical aggregation during the present season, proceeds of the concert will go to help finance the Fullerton summer playground program. Other engagements will follow during the spring and summer, including one in Anaheim. The concert will begin at 8:15 p.m., the orchestra being under direction of its conductor and founder, Miss Norma L. Perkins of Orange. Shirley Anderson, 18 years old, a second-year student at Santa Ana junior college, who is first flutist with the orchestra, will be featured in a flute obligato, with Marilyn Nuffer, 15, vocal soloist, as one of the highlights of the concert. Miss Nuffer also plays timpyno, French horn and piano. One of the novelty numbers will be the popular “Three Bears,” by Long. Nine-year-old Wendell Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Taylor of Anaheim, will be narrator. The youthful artist has won high praise for his work on previous appearances, and it is expected that his performance next week will be received with enthusiasm.
