COLONY QUIPS A cruel game is politics—and no one knows it better than an ex-champ. Comes now The New Republic, highbrow organ of the left front, with this ungrateful comment about Attorney General Robert W. Kenny, who failed to make the grade for governor: "The liberal congressmen should now step in at the State's Democratic Convention and take over the California organization from Bob Kenny and his friends, who have proved they are not fit to run it." Always a good sport, in the best sense of that term, Assembly Speaker Charles W. Lyons is out with an unqualified endorsement of the man who defeated him for the GOP nomination for Lieutenant Governor — Judge Goodwin Knight! What strange hold do barristers have on the American electorate? There must be some explanation, because the lawyers certainly do get around, politically. Realtor Glenn D. Willaman, the veteran political seer, comes up with the information, for example, that the six top candidates for the Republican nomination for President—Bricker, Dewey, Stassen, Taft, Vandenberg and Warren—are attorneys one and all. Dr. Conway Snyder, 27 year old Cal. Tec. nuclear physicist told a group of newspaper men the other day that there is no security in secrecy about the atom bomb. He said scientists throughout Dr. Conway Snyder, 27 year old Cal. Tec. nuclear physicist told a group of newspaper men the other day that there is no security in secrecy about the atom bomb. He said scientists throughout the world would understand its principles and there is no defense against its offense. While America is ahead of other nations in preparation and accumulation of the necessary component parts of the atom bomb, time is all other nations need to catch up. Snyder says Russia must bow to the program of an international civilian control of the atom bomb. Nations using it would simply destroy each other. Scientists now can take the ten largest American cities and wipe them off the map in a split second. The atom bomb must not be used. It must be controlled by world consent. Germany and other European countries were experimenting with the atom bomb for many years before the last war and if Germany had had a few more months time she could have destroyed American cities in the twinkling of an eye, so far advanced were her own scientists. There must be no more wars, no more use of this world, revolutionizing deadly force in nature, unless the world is determined to destroy itself. The issue is no longer either political or military. These men know. They have the knowledge. They do not guess. They are telling us. The statesmen of the world must settle this thing with Russia right now. The facts must be faced. The decision must be prompt and final. The good old days were those when the landlord would repaper the house and offer you a month's rent free if you would only move in. "Man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long." But those words were written before the days of the Russians and John L. Lewis. Husbands and circuses are very political seer, comes up with the information, for example, that the six top candidates for the Republican nomination for President—Bricker, Dewey, Stassen, Taft, Vandenberg and Warren—are attorneys one and all. WESTERN AIR BLUSHES—Opening of the new air service Jackson, Wyoming, site of the Grand Teton Mountains, has caused Western Air Lines to suggest that flight crews inform curly passengers that the best English translation for the phrase "Grand Teton" is "Sweater Girl Mountains." Named by early French traders, the world-famous peaks bear a highly anatomical name which doesn't seem to bother Goldwyn Girl Karen X. Gaylord but as much as it does Western Air Lines. Note Grand Tetons in background, or foreground, or some place. NAME TRANSLATION MAKES FOR RED FACES WITH AIR LINE Their faces a crimson red, embarrassed officials of the you-know-what-airlines, (psst—Western Air Lines) were full of voluble explanation this week after naming Wyoming's glamorous Grand Teton's the "Sweater Girl Mountains." The remote area, brought within six hours of southern California this week by inauguration of a daily passenger and cargo service to Jackson, also brought with it a sixty-four dollar question that has airline officials and crews and hosues enveloped in blushes when passengers demand to know the English translation of "Grand Tetons." Embarrassed officials have passed the word to crews and hostesses to term the range, "Sweater Girl Mountains" and obliquely admit that they are unfortunately caught in the middle of a critical controversy. For investigation reveals authorities are in violent disagreement as to origin and correct translation of the mountain's name. Publications of Washington's famed Smithsonian Institution demurely translate the name to mean "Dwellers of the Prairie while the equally august United States Geographic Board, national Park Service and the university of California Press, at the name of the mountains frankly anatomical. Meanwhile, harried officers have passed the word along perplexed flight crews instruct them to call the mount "Sweater Girl Mountains" who asked for an English translation of Grand Tetons. Washing their hands of the fair at the moment and attempt to avoid any further trouble by ensuing complications have arisen as that old adjective "What's in a name" comes to fore, airline officials had no comment to make this week. Airline spokesmen admitted solution to the situation is to found in Emily Post's book what is the right thing to do say when such moments arise and remarked, "haven't we enough without running into them." Seekers of fact were urged study photographs of Hollywood glamour girls for further def on the subject. The good old days were those when the landlord would repaper the house and offer you a month's rent free if you would only move in. "Man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long." But those words were written before the days of the Russians and John L. Lewis. Husbands and circuses are very much alike. Neither of them lives up to advance notices. "Experiments indicate that fish have a method of communication," says an expert angler. They never respond to any lines we drop them. Some folks' religion is like cider—sweet enough until it begins to work. A year ago we got no bread with one meat ball—now we get no meat ball. The more fast rides you take, Mr. Motorist, the sooner you will be taken for a slow one. One statistician says that "the people of this nation now pay as much for government as they do for sin." And neither is worth the cost. Chief problem of a dictator is to keep the stomachs of his subjects full and their heads empty. RAYONS WERE IN AGAIN! Stocking hunters here were quietly stalking rarely found hose in a line more than half-a-block long which began at "that" counter on the second floor of J. C. Penny company, 124 West Center street and wound around South Los Angeles street, terminating far up the block. Congestion began shortly after 9 o'clock and surged upward as the department store doors swung open at 9:30 o'clock last Friday morning. Giant Surplus Sale Opens At Hueneme Mon. World War II veterans planning to attend the 12½-million-dollar first-come first-served war surplus sale opening Monday, July 15, at Port Hueneme, were warned today that they must be certified for priority before going to the sale.

Police Issue Dog License Warning Again Warning again was made a week to city dog owners who failed to procure licenses for their pets, by Chief of Police Mark Stephenson. "There are approximately 80 dog owners within the city limits," Stephenson said, "and if they don't get licenses for their dogs soon, such pets will be going the local pound." Stephenson said very little operation has been shown by owners, in view of the fact, even convenience at obtaining the necessary license has been put their way. Only a small trickle of applicants seeking the licenses reported by officers at the police station last week. License fees are $1 for males $2 for females and $1 for all spayed females. The licenses may be obtained at the police station or from L Spencer, local poundmaster, pooled said. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis C.

BACK SEAT OF CAR SERVES AS BAR Police were bug-eyed with amazement this week following the arrest Sunday a.m. of a Santa Ana resident, picked up here at the parking lot of the Harmony Park ballroom, on drunk charges. Their amazement was attributed to discovery of a complete bar and all the "makings" in the back seat of the late model auto of the defendant.

SON OF PIONEER FAMILY DIES HERE Suddenly Herman A. Schindler, 63, chief bookkeeper of the Gibbs Lumber company and son of a pioneer family here, was found dead in bed at home by his wife, early yesterday morning. Cause of death was not immediately determined but a relative said he had been slightly ill*for a short time prior to his sudden death, and had been at home ill for the last three days. Life-long resident of this area, his business associates and numerous friends in the vicinity, were shocked to learn of his sudden death. Funeral arrangements were still incomplete up to a late hour yesterday but relatives said announcements of arrangements would be made as soon as they are completed. Employed by the Gibbs Lumber company for 28 years, where he was chief bookkeeper, Mr. Schindler, formerly was in the general contracting business here and erected many of the older homes that stand in the original part of town. His mother, Mrs. Henrietta Schindler, 87, now a resident of Santa Ana, with her husband, the late Charles Schindler, was one of the original pioneer settlers in this region. Her husband was in the contracting business at the time of his death in 1912 and his son, Herman carried on his footsteps until he established connections in the lumber business (Continued on Page 2) MOTHER COLONY HOUSE RESTAURANT IS FORMALLY PRESENTED TO ANAHEIM Mother Colony House Restaurant, 243 West Center street, was proudly presented to Anaheim and Orange County today (Thursday) by Don Franks, owner, who started the remodelization of the new business house several months ago and with its completion, is the finest of its kind in the county.

Farm Head Urges "Unloading" of Consumer Goods Voicing an appeal to "minimize the current inflationary price trend," and "defeat the growing threat of a buyers' strike" Orange county agriculture leaders today appealed to industry to "unload" inventories which are believed to have been dammed up awaiting price changes. The appeal, broadcast by Ray Wiser, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, urged industry to "unload" its inventories which farm leaders believe have reached "sizeable" proportions by this time, citing that such action, in the interest of national welfare, would: 1. Minimize the current inflationary price trend. 2. Defeat the growing threat of buyer's strike. 3. Tend to balance demand with supply. 4. Take excessive money out circulation by investing it in consumer needs. Wiser stated, with the exception man-days lost because of strikes, other work stoppages, and one out for reconversion from acetetime output, industry has been producing civilian goods since V-J Day. "This is attested," he explained, by the records of social security BIG 'EGGBEATER' GIVES WITH WHIR; HOUSEWIVES NOT INTERESTED They had a huge "eggbeater" at the Anaheim Union high school athletic field last Monday but there wasn't a housewife in the crowd, or a bowl either for that matter. The occasion was Anaheim's first view of Sikorsky's famed helicopter, the new R-5D, a flying "grasshopper" type of plane being used by the post office department in experimental trial flights of air mail from Los Angeles to 33 southland communities, including Anaheim, Orange and Santa Ana. Food Prices Hold Steady Here; Meat Up Food prices are "holding the line" in Anaheim, it was revealed here Wednesday following a spot check of numerous grocery and meat market establishments in the city by Gazette reporters. Though shortages of certain items such as mayonnaise, salad oils, butter and foods containing quantities of sugar continued, to be scarce, most grocery managers reported supplies were beginning to appear in greater amounts than heretofore. Meat was reported to be arriving in greater quantities than previously with most markets reporting sharp increases in price per pound due to removal of government subsidies. Price increases in meat averaged generally. "The token" flights of the new service were inaugurated Monday when two of the ships, manned by army air force personnel departed from the City of Angels. First landing at Anaheim was scheduled for 1:04 p.m. but the pilot arrived here 25 minutes late due to immense turnouts of spectators at each stop. The pilot droned the plane across the field once, hastily checking his map to see that he had the right address, then turned it into the wind from the northwest and settled the plane with a gentle "plunk" right on the gardener's grass as he looked on. On hand here was the mayor, the postmaster, the chamber of commerce officials and scores of adults spectators equalled in size by a "small fry" assemblage that after the ship had landed threatened to tear it apart for souvenirs. Only thing that saved the rotorbladed flying machine that boasts of no wings, was the sharp, shrill Take excessive money out of circulation by investing it in consumer needs. Wiser stated, with the exception man-days lost because of strikes, other work stoppages, and one out for reconversion from acetetime output, industry has been producing civilian goods since V-J Day. "This is attested," he explained, by the records of social security card which show that as of June only some three million (3,000,000) employable unemployed were receiving compensation checks." Wiser said this figure represents the lowest nation unemployment index since 1929 and refutes the statements made by Washington officials and economists who predicted two years ago that the end of the war would see eighteen million (18,000,000) persons out of jobs. "It seems reasonable to assume," said Wiser, "that this all-time high employment, despite the thousands of work stoppages and millions of man-hours lost through strikes, must have proceeded and still is producing heavier." If the reverse were true, we could see bread lines and soup chens as we did in the depression years following the First World War. The Farm Bureau chief said that agriculture was marketing output without a day's delay in the part of farmers and that industry could do no less in conducting to economic stability. LOCATUR COUNTY PICNIC IN LOS ANGELES THIS SUNDAY All former residents of Decatur county, Iowa, are cordially invited to attend the annual county picnic scheduled for next Sunday at McArthur park, the former West Lake park, Los Angeles. Coffee will be served free of charge. Oil, butter and foods containing quantities of sugar continued, to be scarce, most grocery managers reported supplies were beginning to appear in greater amounts than heretofore. Meat was reported to be arriving in greater quantities than previously with most markets reporting sharp increases in price per pound due to removal of government subsidies. Price increases in meat averaged generally nine to ten cents a pound. Half of the increase was attributed to the removal of the federal subsidy and the remaining half of the increase was that assertedly added by packers and wholesalers. Charles W. Vest, manager of Allen's Market at 721 S. Los Angeles street, said little change in the supply outlook was expected for some time. Meat he reported had jumped nine cents a pound but most prices were holding steady. At the Alpha Beta Market at 406 West Center street, Manager L. F. Pomeroy said, milk, cheese and meats were the only food commodities to show increases of any sort at the present time. The increases were due to removal of government subsidy, he stressed, pointing out that in most instances the increase matched the subsidy price that was removed. Canned milk, he said, was up approximately one cent a can, bottled milk was hoisted two cents a quart and all forms of cheese showed increases ranging from one to several cents per pound. Meanwhile, though the food situation remained fairly stable here with few complaints from housewives, elsewhere in the southland and the state, prices were reported as erratic. It was through the efforts of Florence Nightingale that nurses were first sent to the seat of war. Anaheim Gazette, since 1870. All hellcopter air mail flights in the southern California area were ordered grounded yesterday, the Gazette learned last night, from a un-official but authoritative army source. Halt in the service was ordered following crash of a hellcopter in Boston during a demonstration. A rotor blade flew off the plane as it was landing, it was reported. Service was expected to be resumed following an investigation into the crash to determine the cause of the accident. There were no fatalities, it was learned. blast of a policeman's whistle which stopped the kids' scramble dead in their tracks. First Lieut. Jack Halpin of Detroit, veteran of the Asiatic-Pacific theatre, wiped a grimy hand across his forehead after he landed the ship here on the athletic field amidst the shrill hoots and cheers of the huge gathering. Co-pilot of the "contraption," First Lieut. Hal Somers of Baltimore, Md., handed over a sack of airmail the size of a package of nylon hose and then were airborne again before the crowd crowd knew what had taken place. The whirring prop on the tail of the wingless wonder beat a rough eight-to-the-bar count on the hard-packed earth sending up billows of dust that caught unwary observers who had crept up close to the plane, swirling in a duststorm that required a compass for orientation.
