THE ATOMIC "SPY" SCARE, even though it may be mostly scare and little else, nevertheless points up the biggest problem confronting the Atomic Energy Commission — security. The fact that two army sergeants could walk out of the Los Alamos plant with "certain important documents" and have them in their possession for many months before the theft was discovered does not give the American people the feeling that vital papers are being as closely guarded as they should be. The fact too, that the public was given no information on this incident until the story in the New York paper forced it also does not help to inspire confidence toward those in charge of atomic secrets. As to the papers themselves, it appears that they were not from the "top secret" file, but they might have proved highly useful to a foreign power if they had fallen into the hands of its agents. What's more, if "souvenir hunters" can remove important documents most citizens will be fearful that spies may be able to do the same thing. Our position in regard to atomic secrets is much like that of the tightrope walker in the circus. We can't afford to slip—not even once. Just a small information leak here or they should be.

Our position in regard to atomic secrets is much like that of the tightrope walker in the circus. We can't afford to slip—not even once. Just a small information leak here or there might be just the bit of information needed to speed the development of atomic power elsewhere. The Atomic Energy Commission should re-double its efforts to protect the data in its keeping and it should so inform the public. It should also make known any incidents such as the one at Los Alamos just as quickly as circumstances warrant. After all, no one physical thing bears more importantly on the lives and fortunes of the American people than atomic energy. Hence, they are entitled to know just as much about it as can be told them consistent with national security. THE CAPITULATION of the mine owners to the terms of COST OF INDUSTRIAL PEACE John L. Lewis has given the U.M.W. leader his greatest victory, the miners their fattest paycheck, and has apparently insured the uninterrupted flow of coal from the mines for the next year at least. The mine owners paid a stiff price for peace with Mr. Lewis. But, as is usually the case, it isn't the mine owners but the public that will really foot the bill. Just how much coal prices will be increased to offset the wage increase, plus other concessions to the mine union, is not yet definite. The increase, however, is expected to be about 75 cents or a dollar a ton. That's plenty heavy, as compared to current coal prices. Now, as far as the miners are concerned it would be hard to begrudge them even as large a pay increase as they have won. But aside from the fact that it will undoubtedly be reflected in further rises in industrial production costs it may also touch off another wave of demands for higher pay in other industries. This is the greatest danger. Lewis' fabulous success in getting a wage hike far in excess of the 15 cents accepted by most other unions quite naturally makes workers wonder why their leaders can't do as well. Some labor bosses may feel it necessary to ask for further wage increases not only to satisfy workers but to protect their own prestige. Thus, the peace-at-any-price attitude of the mine owners may not result in general industrial peace but, contrariwise, may sow the seeds of renewed restlessness in the field of labor. It can only be hoped that both workers and their leaders will recognize that widespread strikes for higher pay at this time would further disrupt the nation's economy at this critical period and, in the long run, would result in serious loss both to them and the general public.

The thirteen arc lights on C street, besides numerous placed on different streets town. Center street is praised best lighted street in area of this size in California. Mrs. Strodthoff received her ter from her son, Henry, at Jerome, A. T., yesterday, ing the distressing news that son, Otto, who is also a re of Jerome, had had the ba to break two of his ribs in away accident. Otto was ex out this way last week o summer vacation. We hope of his early recovery. Mrs. Lightfoot, of Texas Ark. who will be pleasurable membered by many friends abouts as Miss Irene Fl daughter of Mrs. W. J. Sm expected to arrive the latter of the week on a visit to rel Count Bozenta and M Modjeska left on Friday for Francisco for a sojourn of weeks. Edwin White, son of Rev. pastor of the Methodist c is the first Anaheimer to out for the Klondike gold He left on Tuesday for S from whence the journey gold fields will be made u Yukon river. Sam Kraemer was in town Monday from his Placentia Sam is confident that good ROYAL ROMANCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT by King George VI that Elizabeth, heiress apparent to the British throne, will marry Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten came as surprise to no one. But it was welcome news to the British people for several reasons. One is that the long-rumored romance has wide popular approval in England. Another is that the announcement gives a lighter touch to the otherwise somber picture now prevailing on the "tight little isle" where the struggle for economic survival has provided few events of a pleasant nature. Now, with the wedding to take place probably in October her subjects will have something exciting to look forward too. Of course, the wedding isn't going to ease the acute shortages existing in England but the contemplation of the royal wedding will undoubtedly make them a bit more bearable. After all, the British are extremely fond of their royalty and it's been a long time since there was a royal wedding as important as this one. WOMEN TALK TOO MUCH? THE REFUSAL of Soviet officials to allow Russian women, who have married foreigners, to leave the country in order to join their husbands is another of those queer regulations which abound in Russia. A number of British soldiers who were stationed in Russia during the war married Russian girls. But all the pressure and prestige of the British government has not been sufficient to induce the Kremlin to let the wives leave their homeland and live in England. One reason advanced for not permitting them to leave is that women talk too much. On that point, it is quite apparent that the real concern is not about how much women talk but what they would say about Russia. Russian leaders seem convinced that it wouldn't be complimentary. They should know. ONLY TWO YEARS MORE Mr. and Mrs. John Lorencki of La Salle, Ill., who decided when they visited Anaheim three years ago that this was to be their future home, were back this week to see if the town was still here and as pleasant a home town as they remembered it. They expect to have to wait two more years before realizing their dreams. Go to Church Sunday! IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago JULY 27, 1872 A dark and bloody tragedy has taken the fair name of our usually quiet town. A man has been killed—an officer—shot down in the faithful discharge of his duty in endeavoring to preserve the public peace. A citizen, husband and a father has been carried out of existence as the result (in the most charitable view that we can take of it) of the disputable quarrel of two men over game of cards. David Davis, a constable of this township, and a man giving his name as Horton, were playing cards last Sunday at the Anaheim brewery. About 4 p.m. a dispute arose as to the innings. Horton took the checks and Davis seized the money. Horton immediately grabbed Davis' revolver and the latter as promptly secured another one. The part-time commenced firing and the shot was transferred to the street, and thence to the vacant lot between the brewery and Mary's business shop. Here Charles F. Herman, also a constable of this township, and late marshal of the day, interfered as a peace officer quell the disturbance and received a fatal shot through the body, the ball entering in front an inch below the sternum, and rang-downward, passed through the left lobe of the liver and the cardiac orifice of the stomach, lying in the back about two inches to the right of the spinal column, where it was found and extracted soon after. Horton ran expired at half-past 7 p.m. Tuesday, 23rd inst. It had been generally supposed that Horton fired the fatal shot, but Mr. Lehman declared that Davis shot him. On Wednesday at 11 a.m. an inquest was held upon the body by Jno. W. Clark, as acting coroner with the following result: We find that Charles Lehman, aged 44 years, died from the effects of a shot fired by one of two parties named—Horton and D. Davis, who are now under arrest. Signed: John Fischer, foreman; Peter Richards, J. B. Stone, L. Jander, J. C. Hill, C. H. Smith. The post mortem examination was made by Drs. D'Assonville and Hardin. Rev. L. P. Webber will preach on Sunday at 10:30 o'clock on the subject: "How far is a community responsible for crimes committed in the community?" Attention is directed to the announcement of Messrs. Dravsen & Co. These gentlemen are about to open a new meat market and make a big bid for a share of business. W. R. Olden and Major Strobd returned from San Francisco yesterday. The salaries of postmasters in this county are as follows: Anaheim $360, Compton $12, Los Angeles $3,000, Los Nietos $180, Santa Ana $60, Spadra $47, Wilmington $460. More Anaheim People See 'Flying Saucers' (Continued from Page 3) steadily diminished in apparent size as if it were gaining altitude, until it seemed no more than 14 inches in diameter. Then he lost it in the sun and saw it no more. He was positive it couldn't have been a balloon or an airplane or spots before the eyes, and he observed it with closest attention for "three or four minutes." Later a woman whose name was not obtained passed by the Hilgenfeld establishment and reported that what Groenfeld saw must have been the same thing she saw for what she saw appeared at the same time and in the same approximate part of the heavens as the object described by Groenwald. People in Santa Ana have been seeing objects differing somewhat from those seen by Anaheim witnesses. The Santa Ana model seems to leave an orange glow in its wake and makes a "whooshing" sound somewhat like a jet plane. No one in Anaheim has heard a "whooshing" sound coming from the things they have seen. M.O.D.

Albertazzie R Hold Monday Funeral services were ed for Angelina Alber Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. Hilgenfeld chapel of France, she died Friday noon at her home, 125 street, after a prolong She had lived in the U.K." 50 Years Ago JULY 29, 1897 The new electric light machine will be ready to start up next Tuesday evening. There are fourteen arc lights on Center Street, besides numerous others placed on different streets about town. Center street is probably the best lighted street in any city of this size in California. Mrs. Strodthoff received a letter from her son, Henry, living Jerome, A. T., yesterday, bringing the distressing news that her Otto, who is also a resident Jerome, had had the bad luck break two of his ribs in a runway accident. Otto was expected this way last week on his summer vacation. We hope to hear this early recovery. Mrs. Lightfoot, of Texarkana, K., who will be pleasurably remembered by many friends here-ups as Miss Irene Fleming,ighter of Mrs. W. J. Smith, is elected to arrive the latter part of the week on a visit to relatives. Count Bozenta and Madame Adjeska left on Friday for San Francisco for a sojourn of several weeks. Edwin White, son of Rev. Wihte, pastor of the Methodist church, the first Anaheimer to strike for the Klondike gold fields. He left on Tuesday for Seattle on whence the journey to the fields will be made up the cone river. Sam Kraemer was in town on Sunday from his Placentia ranch. He is confident that good times are about to settle upon us. The walnut crop is short, but of good quality. Richard Melrose and his daughter, Miss Winifred and Mons. Cahen and his daughter, Miss Meine, contemplate a trip to Catalina next week. Mrs. Mottram and her niece, Miss Freeland, of England, have arrived after a three-week's journey from the other side and are stopping at the Commercial. Rev. J. B. Tombes and family are down from Los Angeles and will spend the summer on their ranch on Placentia avenue. Ernest and Veit Bentz while bathing in the surf near Bolsa on Sunday were both stung by stingrays. Each suffered excruciating pain for some hours, but are now on the way to recovery. W. M. McFadden of Placentia, has been entertaining his niece, Miss McFadden of Peoria, Ill. and Mr. and Mrs. Burlingame of Ohio. Sunday Mac treated the visitors to a trip to the Landing. Miss Alexandra Fay has returned from Stanford and will spend the summer vacation with her parents in this city. Wm. Konig is in San Francisco on a short business trip. Mrs. Tim Boege and family are sojourning at the Landing. A. S. Bradford and family are camping at Newport. M.O.D. Oranges Go To Market Now in Bags (Continued from page 1) Bruce boxes weighing about the same as a conventionally packed box of oranges. The Southern California Citrus Foods plant, owned by grower members of Mutual Orange Distributors, Royer said, now is running 24 hours a day, but not yet at its full capacity of 25,000 tons a year. In addition to California oranges and lemons it now is processing Arizona grapefruit. A considerable part of the juice concentrates now is going to Europe. "We are leaving nothing we can think of undone," he said, "to make money for the grower." It was Royer's estimate that only about 30 per cent of the 1947 Valencia crop has gone to market and that with the small current prorate and the threatening car shortage some groves would not be picked before December. With Florida fruit clear out of the market and a prorate of 1500 cars a week for California oranges, it was Royer's theory that the present low price average is an echo from poor fruit shipped earlier in the season from central California as well as from Florida. He thinks the housewives of the east will not awaken to how really good southern California valencias now are for two weeks to a month later this season. One strange turn taken by the market, according to Royer, is resistance to 150s and 126s only a few degrees less than the resistance to 344s and 392s. Cups You See In Unexpected Places limited number of insects have been picked up in traps. Adult beetles have been moved long distances by freight cars, in automobiles and no doubt, by airplane. Thus establishment at points far distant from origin seems inevitable. Even with the aid of a desert on one side and a large expanse of water on the other, both of which formerly constituted a stronger barrier than today, it is known that it is only a matter of time until this insect will make a three-point landing in California. "The program of regulatory agriculture will help sell corn more easily." 25 Years Ago JULY 27, 1922 Senator Hiram W. Johnson will speak in Santa Ana in evening. Hon. Hans V. Weisel preside at the meeting in this D. Eyman Huff will preside the Santa Ana meeting. The July meeting of the Orange County Historical Society was held at Orange County park last Saturday. A beautiful live oak near the pavilion was dedicated to J. E. Pleasants, who visited the park in 1859. Mr. Pleasants is an address in which he deposed the park as he found it at that time, and told how he and several other young men killed a grizzly bear in the canyon near the park, the carcass of which when dressed weighed 800 pounds. They sold the meat in Los Angeles. C. A. Riggs read an interesting paper on "Horse Racing the Early Days," in which he discussed the various horses that were raced on the Santa Ana track called to mind the days when "Silverwood" was in his home. A committee was appointed to meet with the supervisors in order to changing the name of park to "Irvine" in recognition of the donor of the park. $5000 pipe organ has been installed in the new Zion Lutheran church. The seats and furnishings for the building which have been ordered from a factory at Cleveland, Ohio will cost $4000. It will be some weeks before the church is open for services. Mrs. Edward Ward entertained a number of relatives and friends at a luncheon and theatre party on Tuesday. After a delicious three course luncheon the guests were taken to the California where they enjoyed the matinee performance of "The Two Orphans." Those present were Mrs. Gerald Ward and Mrs. Robert Coleman of Manzatlan, Mexico, Mrs. Ernest Varnado of Fontana, Mrs. L. C. Bailey and Miss Miriam Bailey of San Francisco, and Mrs. Henry Küchel. John Molt has begun the construction of an $18,000 business block at Five Points. It is to be a flatiron building, situated on the wedge-shaped lot formerly owned by Dr. John Boege. The building will be occupied by a drug store, a general store, a bakery and a barber shop, the second story being divided into living rooms. Little Wilma Heying, four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al Heying is recovering from a fall down stairs. She fell the entire length of the flight cutting her mobiles and no doubt, by airplane. Thus establishment at points far distant from origin seems inevitable. Even with the aid of a desert on one side and a large expanse of water on the other, both of which formerly constituted a stronger barrier than today, it is known that it is only a matter of time until this insect will make a three-point landing in California. "The program of regulatory agriculture in California has always been to endeavor first to prevent these enemies from landing. Failing in this we must find their point of establishment at an early date and attempt eradication. Failing in the second line of defense all agriculture knows the penalty that must be paid—that is the annual expenditure of countless sums to provide chemical and biological warfare. "Back in 1939 Japanese beetle collecting traps were provided California by the federal government and Orange county placed a number of these traps in strategic locations for a short period. 190 insects of 22 different species were collected in our traps but no Japanese beetles were found. For the past three years this program has been repeated. The cost of placing and servicing a small number of traps baited with a material that is attractive to Japanese and injuring her hand. Miss Minnie Doty, who has been the guest of Mrs. Helmsen for a fortnight, returned last week to her home in Riverside. S. C. Hartranft, who has been mentioned for the assembly, announces that he is not a candidate. Walter Cadman and family went down to the Landing the latter part of the week and will spend an outing of several weeks at that always popular resort." anese beetle is negligible compared to the benefit that could be realized from an early apprehension of this insect in our midst. "Yellow traps are used because the insect does not see the color and is attracted by the liquid. The Department has advised us that if the yellow color is distasteful to property owners we may substitute green, but to date this has not been necessary. "The Japanese beetle is a small Scarab beetle not differing greatly from our common Serica or small 'June bug' in appearance, but easily identified by the shiny green head and thorax, copperish color of its wing covers and by other markings and structure easily noticeable to an entomologist. "If you notice some adult beetles competing with birds for your peaches, or devouring foliage from grapevines or otherwise acting in a peculiar manner for insects of this area, please bring a specimen to the agricultural commissioner's office. If it is a common beetle of the area there is no harm done. If it should be a Japanese beetle or any other new species, you will be performing a public service. "This is one reason why certain plants with soil from eastern areas are held by public carriers for our investigation." Albertazzie Rites Held Monday Funeral services were conducted for Angelina Albertazzie, 71, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Hilgenfeld chapel. A native of France, she died Friday afternoon at her home, 125 Ellsworth street, after a prolonged illness. She had lived in the United States. State Fair To Make Feature Of Junior Farmers California's Future Farmers of America and members of 4-H Clubs will compete for $18,000 in premiums at the California State Fair in Sacramento, August 28 through September 7. On Governor's Day, Thursday, September 4, the cattle entered by the juniors will participate in the $2,000,000 livestock parade. The increasing importance of the young men and women of California as farmers of both today and tomorrow has brought them outstanding recognition at the state fair. In 1939 a complete unit of buildings was built for use only by the Future Farmers and 4-H Club exhibitors. The buildings were designed to accommodate their specialized farming interests. Howard F. Chappell, regional supervisor of Agricultural Education, reports that every inch of space in the junior division buildings will be utilized this year. VISIT RELATIVES IN REDONDO BEACH Mr. and Mrs. John E. Whitcher of 748 North Sabina street, left here Saturday night to visit relatives in Redondo Beach. Sunday the group enjoyed watching airliners come in at TWA airdrome, Los Angeles.
