They will be on trial for their lives for perpetrating crimes ranging from "plain murder" to plotting to enslave the world. It is to be hoped that justice in Japan will move with greater speed than it has in Germany. Included in the list of war criminals are four former Jap premiers as well as most of Tojo's cabinet at the time of Pearl Harbor. It is particularly satisfying to note that General Kenji Doihara, who staged the Manchurian incident in 1931—the first chapter of World War II—has not been overlooked. Well, it has taken a long time to catch up with this crowd but now that we have be perfectly safe to let junior take the hammer and go to work on the fenders or body since they can't be dented by said hammer. (Personally, we think that might not be so good for the car since kids have a knack of breaking the unbreakable and denting the undentable.) The car body is all one piece including everything but the doors. It is very roomy, the engine is located over the rear axle and it has a great many advanced features. The only trouble is that with present techniques it cannot be turned out in mass quantities and so the public may have to wait for years before it is available. Well, it's nice to have heard about it, anyway. RIOT ON 'THE ROCK' Back in 1933 the federal government was looking around for a spot where the nation's most cent outbreak. This riot, which took guards, police Army and Marine corps personnel to subdue was one of the most desperate and spectacular in American history. The rioters must have known that their chance for getting off the island was nil, but "stir crazy" men do think. 'UNSINKABLE SARA' The USS Saratoga, the Quarter of the Flatops, has gone on "last journey." Recently the lant ship which fought in the Pacific all the way from Tulagar Tokyo steamed out of San Francisco bay and headed westward for her rendezvous with the ambush at Bikini. "Unsinkable Sara" will be of the many guinea pigs that test the destructive force of new super-weapon in early June. Some time ago a move started to spare this famous ship from the atomic ordeal, but Navy refused to grant her clemency. It was also urged that Saratoga be retired from active duty and preserved as a symbol of victory. But it was pointed out that the cost of maintaining the ship would be too great warrant such a move. At Bikini in July "Sara" meets sudden death, but then again she may ride out the atomic strike and come sailing home once more. SAVING FATS AID SOAP SUPPLY Housewives who have been turning used facts over to meat dealer at the rate of a pound a month have been providing themselves with about bars, or two-thirds of a year supply of yellow laundry every month, according to fig will move with greater speed than it has in Germany. Included in the list of war criminals are four former Jap premiers as well as most of Tojo's cabinet at the time of Pearl Harbor. It is particularly satisfying to note that General Kenji Doihara, who staged the Manchurian incident in 1931—the first chapter of World War II—has not been overlooked. Well, it has taken a long time to catch up with this crowd but now that we have caught up we should see to it that they get just what they have been asking for all during these years. We mustn't "disappoint" them. PLASTIC CAR Among the "future" cars now being designed and built in Detroit the latest to be trotted out for public inspection is an all-plastic light-weight model that has 10 times the impact strength of steel in a crash. It also would rear axle and it has a great many advanced features. The only trouble is that with present techniques it cannot be turned out in mass quantities and so the public may have to wait for years before it is available. Well, it's nice to have heard about it, anyway. RIOT ON 'THE ROCK' Back in 1933 the federal government was looking around for a spot where the nation's most desperate criminals might be housed. Alcatraz island — that dismal rock that springs suddenly out of San Francisco bay about a mile off shore—was selected as the ideal place. The strong currents that swirl about it made escape by swimming almost impossible. Two million dollars was spent to make the prison one of the most up-to-date. Aside from brief flare-ups and a few attempted get-aways, life on Alcatraz has been comparatively quiet—or was until the re- BOXING THURSDAY NIGHT — 8:30 P.M.

With the abandonment of former staggered hours program, peak-hour traffic has gradually increased to its present enormous proportions. As no additional equipment has been obtainable during recent months, this greatly increased peak-hour traffic results in heavily loaded cars and buses, much crowding and some inconveniences to passengers. Additional buses and street cars alone cannot solve the congestion problem during peak hours. Of course, more equipment is needed, and will be in service as soon as received, but staggered hours of employment—and use of hours between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for shopping—are still necessary if the peak-hour traffic bottleneck is to be relieved.

MARLER, Passenger Traffic Manager IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago MAY 20, 1871 On Monday last the schooner Golden Gate, laden with fence posts, sailed from off the briney deep ocean, right into Newport, below Santa Ana, no soundings were taken and no difficulty was experienced. During the week several meetings have been held by vineyardists to take into consideration the feasibility of through shipments of wine to the east. The difficulty appears to be a want of unity of action among the growers. We understand one object was to ascertain if the Panama steamers will make the Anaheim Landing and Wilmington ports of call. The meetings have grown out of a communication addressed to the common council by the L. A. & S. P. Railway company which was referred to the Lighter company. By night and by day in Anaheim at this season of the year is heard the whistling, echoing notes of thousands of happy mocking birds and canaries. Their serenade is perpetual in this, their natural and undisturbed home. While the sight is charmed with the hue of luxuriant flowers and trees, and their aroma fills the senses, the melody of countless rare birds force upon the mind of man a happy and contented sensation. These birds are so tame that they build their nests in the garden shrubbery. Last night we were suddenly surprised at what we supposed to be a man whistling for a dog, but our thoughts were quickly changed of a canary, followed by an exact imitation of a catbird. It was about midnight and a wild mocking bird had entered our chamber window and seated itself upon the back of a chair. A new cooper shop has been built on the cross street leading from Los Angeles street to Lemon, and on a line with the Catholic church and city jail. Died at his residence in Anaheim on May 18, 1871, F. A. Goodrich, aged 38 years. Funeral was held at 10 a.m. yesterday. Following are the names of the pallbearers who were chosen from among his most intimate friends: Theodore Rimpau, Obed Macy, Dye Davies, Peter Richards, S. J. Davis, Charles Switzer, N. H. Mitchell and Ed Polhemus. During the funeral the flags on the Planters and Richard’s were at half-mast. Forty houses have been erected at Riverside, and the water is about to be turned into ditches extending through the town. Preparation is being made for a grand jubilee when the water flows. The vote for president in Los Angeles county at the last election was as follows: Seymore, 1,-236; Grant, 748. Democratic majority, 488. We predict the result of the building of the Texas, Pacific railroad will be the annexation of Sonora, Lower California and other Mexican provinces. It will also ANAHEIM GAZETTE County Officer Is Unopposed H. A. Gardner H. A. Gardner, incumbent ange county treasurer, will appointed by the county board supervisors to complete the term of the late T. E. Steep is unopposed for the tree office in the coming election.

The delivery in North Anaheim being $745.19 until up to and including the 15th, and in Anaheim $304.35 for the same time, a total of $1,049.09 for both sections. The sales for the month to noon yesterday amounted to $1706.09. More water is being delivered and there is more water in the ditches than ever. W. M. McFadden was in from Placentia yesterday en route to the women's parliament at Santa Ana, going over to take his wife. Mac was toggled out in a new suit of clothes and his face was suffused with a broad smile, which was not out of place, for he had just sold his oranges, which four buyers had been after for some days past. He sold out his remaining crop of 1400 boxes to Earl at $1.65 spot cash per box on the trees. Henry Garfias, who died last week at Phoenix, Ariz., from the effects of having been thrown from a horse, was well known here, having lived in Anaheim with his family in the early 70's. He was one of the bravest officers in Arizona and his death is deeply mourned. The two younger Garfias boys, Manuel and Mariano, went to school here, Manuel having been an employee of this office. He afterwards went to Mexico where he entered the Army and was killed during the war with the Indians. Mariano is now in the city of Mexico attached to the military staff of President Diaz. Mrs. Berktenstock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wagner of Placentia, who resides with her husband on the Tombe's place, was taken seriously ill on Friday and for a time apprehensions were felt for her recovery. Late reports are that she is now well on the way to recovery. B. F. Porter went up to Los Angeles yesterday afternoon having been called to the bedside of Grandpa Mead, Mrs. Porter's father, who is lying dangerously ill at his home in the Angelic city. Baker Stephen Kistler has moved his Boston bakery to his new establishment on Center street, opposite the city hall and has decorated the building with mammoth signs, gorgeously portraying the luxuries to be found therein. Madame Modjeska's condition is reported to be improving, according to reports from her Santiago home, and hopes are entertained that as soon as the distinguished actress shall have recovered sufficiently to admit of traveling she will come to Anaheim to spend some weeks with friends here. 25 Years Ago MAY 19, 1921 The city trustees at their meeting Thursday evening adopted a resolution of intention to call a bond election. The total issue to be voted on is $160,000, of which $75,000 will be used for a new preparation is being made for a grand jubilee when the water flows.

The California League of Municipalities will meet at Sacramento tomorrow and Mayor Stark was chosen to represent the city of Anaheim at the meeting. Miss Florence Yoch, the landscape artist, appeared before the board and made a talk relative to park construction. The park committee was granted two weeks' extension of time before reporting their plans for the new park.

The famous Polish pianist and patriot, Ignace Paderewski, who is now living in retirement on a ranch at Paso Robles, will be invited to attend a gathering of the Orange County Historical society at Santiago, where Madame Mojeska had her country home which she named.

Mr. John Hartung came up from Venice Thursday to act as hostess to the Euchre club. The meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hartung on Sunkist avenue. Mrs. J.
