ANAHEIM GAZETTE Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange County HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207.

LEWIS "got the pants kicked off his face" and suffered a severe political and personal setback in his ambitions to become a dictator over the AFL. He also suffered a bad setback at the hands of the CIO. A leading editorial in the Washington News said that the AFL and the CIO have "affirmed, by deeds and not by words, the fact that these two big labor organizations, with a total membership of around 14,000,000 are loyal and democratic." Lewis was vice president No. 11 in the AFL. The AFL and CIO conventions both turned their backs on Lewis. According to the News: "The heartening thing about the outcome of these two convention struggles is that it gives evidence that the labor movement has within it the will and ability to clean its own house." No one would be inclined to quarrel with the AFL convention over its threat to "combat the Taft-Hartley law and other anti-labor legislation." The Weekly News Service of AFL has taken that position against the Act of Congress. If the Taft-Hartley law is all that Congress believes it to be, it should be enforced wherever there is even a suspicion that different branches of industrial organizations or groups he knocked out a dirty fight hasn't shown his stuff in this year we should see some real footwork.

THE PUBLISHED STATEMENT that the United States and another is an unfortunate v Lewis was vice president No. 17 in the AFL. The AFL and CIO conventions both turned their backs on Lewis. According to the News: "The heartening thing about the outcome of these two convention struggles is that it gives evidence that the labor movement has within it the will and ability to clean its own house." No one would be inclined to quarrel with the AFL convention over its threat to "combat the Taft-Hartley law and other anti-labor legislation." The Weekly News Service of AFL has taken that position against the Act of Congress. If the Taft-Hartley law is all that Congress believes it to be, it should be enforced wherever there is even a suspicion that different branches of industrial organizations or groups are wrong. The "proof of the pudding" is in the operation and enforcement. Do not forget when you are condemning the Taft-Hartley law the historic fact that President Truman vetoed this legislation twice. Congress overrode both of those vetoes in 1947 by more than two-thirds of the total vote of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Democrats voted with the Republicans in Congress, because they could not see any point of advantage to the country in sustaining the arbitrary political position of Mr. Truman in trying to ride roughshod over a Congress that had legislated in the public interests, honestly and intelligently. RESPONSIBILITY IS UP TO MOVIE CHIEFS A committee of Congress has been told during the last few days that Communist script writers in Hollywood are including subversive propaganda into the movies. The producers, themselves, are always anxious to get sensational features into their productions. The writers are "trying hard" to "make 'em snappy" so that their stuff will boost the box receipts. That means more pay for the "scripters." The big shots in Hollywood took time off for a trip to Washington during the past few days to explain the Communist charges. Among the Hollywooders who answered "present" before the House Committee on un-American Activities was President Warner of the Warner Brothers Pictures; Sam Wood, veteran producer and director and Louis B. Mayer, production chief of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Other motion picture chiefs were on hand, and all of them emphasized in their testimony that they were making every effort to keep Communism out of their shows. The producers are all smart, suspicious and capable. Those are important facts. Script composers cannot put Communist stuff over on Warner, Mayer or any of those big shots—no matter how skillful the authors may be. Somehow, one must feel that the big Hollywood producers are "doing the best they can under all circumstances." That does not mean that they are doing a perfect job. What breed of "showmen," in and out of the movies, is "near perfect?" MAIN EVENT"—1948 With the "main event" of the American political arena just a year away "Champion" Harry Truman is working out the strategy he will use next year in the first defense of his title. In the Republican camp where the challenger has yet to be chosen the hopefuls are doing a lot of "roadwork" to get in shape for the elimination matches at Philadelphia next June. What can we do about bomb on the Kremlin as for George Earle suggests. This stead it would get everything but what we can do is that the Soviets will never get down to real prying about it. THE PUBLISHED STATEMENT that the United States and another is an unfortunate victim named Maxim Litvinoff. His authority in the United States sians killed their own czar had the confidence of the American press—and many his great ability and his in the last of 1941. Where he apparently somewhere in objection. Ever since the first movements in World War II they have "snarled" at everything of democratic government, tains uncivilized leaders with thoughts in mind. They have purposes of the United Nation. The sooner we part we should be no regret expressed to do an honest job in world affairs. POLLS CONDUCTED in this reveal that the people of both papers than on any other so far. This, of course, is gratitude brings to them increased re-entry to their community and their gathering the news and forward language. Two decades or more ago use there was some feeling that the newspaper as the principle The radio has become an institution. But it is satisfying years the newspaper has popularity and permanency. The aim of this newsletter confidence at all times not only reporting but through various interests of MAIN EVENT”—1948 With the “main event” of the American political arena just a year away “Champion” Harry Truman is working out the strategy he will use next year in the first defense of his title. In the Republican camp where the challenger has yet to be chosen the hopefuls are doing a lot of “roadwork” to get in shape for the elimination matches at Philadelphia next June. “Slugger” Bob Taft, the hard hitter from Ohio, “Tiger” Tom Dewey, the New York state champion, and “Battling” Hal Stassen, the Minnesota mauler are the principal contenders. At present, the odds favor “Tiger” Dewey for another shot at the “crown.” While the champion and the contenders are keeping a wary eye on one another they are all worried about an “amateur” known as “One-Punch” Ike Eisenhower. Ike fought sensationally in Europe a couple of years ago when Shop Early For Christmas It may seem that Christmas is yet a long way off but you can be sure it will be here before you know it. So, we recommend that you do your Christmas shopping early. And right now isn’t any too early. There are still shortages in a good many lines. If you wait until the last minute, or even until the last few weeks, you may find that what you want has been taken by someone else who got there first. That’s not a happy situation to be in. Lack of cash is not likely to slow down this year’s buying. Payrolls are high and a lot of money has been saved especially for Christmas. The ample money available means that the demand for goods may exceed the supply. That’s why you’ll be playing it safe if you do your shopping early. What’s more, your local merchants will appreciate it since it will make the December shopping period less hectic for them. And it will be easier on everybody’s nerves—especially your own. TRUCK SHORTAGE Reams have been written but little has appeared about though trucks are more vital respects than passenger cars realize is that without true munities would be virtually they must rely on trucks to need and to haul out the handle much of the freight year two thirds of the tonnage and San Francisco went by most acute in the light type facturers are reported to have between them. As it is, the than 433,000 trucks in the faster than the last program satisfied demand still remain trend is toward motor transport. Dr. Truxaw's Brother Now Is Monsignor One of six priests in the Los Angeles Archdiocese of the Catholic Church who have just been raised to the rank of Papal Chancellor is Rev. Father Joseph Truxaw, a brother of Dr. J. Truxaw of Anaheim and a fellow seminarian at Menlo Park of Reverend Henry W. Gross of Boniface church. The six new Monsignors were invested at a ceremony presided over by Bishop Timothy Mannin in St. Vibiana's cathedral, Los Angeles, last Sunday. ANAHEIM GAZETTE WAR WAS PLENTY RUGGED but this thing called it no picnic either. Aside from military action on a scale one sometimes finds it difficult to see any great difference between war and peace. In the United Nations Assembly, for instance, warfare is being waged with everything but weapons. Accusations, counter-accusations, name-calling, insults, threats—all these have become a part of almost every meeting of the states. That the Russians and the diplomats of their countries are principal offenders does not make the nation any less objectionable. In Greece, in France and Italy, in Korea and China and in Latin America, and even in our own country, the "war" between communism and democracy is being felt. And in places like Greece and China is isn't cold—explosively hot. The world will never have real peace as long as any one is a threat to the security of any other nation. Of course, we're talking about Russia—who else? The Soviets want war now. They're not ready. Maybe they don't want war later on. But they do want their own way in about everything, everywhere. That's what they're going for now through their stooges in other countries. That sort of attitude leads to war. What can we do about it? Well, we can't drop an atom onto the Kremlin as former Governor of Pennsylvania the Earle suggests. That wouldn't settle anything. In fact, we would get everything into a worse mess. But what we can do is to be so fully prepared for war the Soviets will never dare attack us. Incidentally, it's we've got down to real preparation instead of merely talk-out it. PUBLISHED STATEMENT of a national commentator the United States and Russia are "snarling" at one war is an unfortunate view that cannot be accepted.

PUBLISHED STATEMENT of a national commentator in the United States and Russia are "snarling" at one war is an unfortunate view that cannot be accepted. We have not "snarled" at Russia, and the United States has made every human and honest effort to straighten out disagreements between the two countries. Before the United Nations was formed Russia had its last intelligent and honest ambassador in Washington, Maxim Litvinoff. He was the only great Russian in city in the United States, since the days when the Ruskilled their own czar and the royal family. Litvinoff the confidence of the American government and the American press—and many writers had full confidence in great ability and his integrity. He was in Washington most of 1941. Where he is now nobody seems to know—ently somewhere in obscurity. Over since the first meeting of the victorious govern- in World War II the miscalled Russian "statesmen" "snarled" at everything that represented the principles democratic government. The Russian government main- uncivilized leaders with apparently nothing but brutal acts in mind. They have, so far, defeated the aims and desires of the United Nations. The sooner we part with Russia, the better. There can be no regret expressed by the nations that are trying an honest job in world affairs. IS CONDUCTED in the United States and England that the people of both countries rely more on news than on any other source in forming their opinions. This indicates, it seems to us, that most persons believe the press as a whole is endeavoring to give them a clear picture of situations and events. Obviously, if they didn't think so they would not look to newspapers to guide them to the extent they do. This, of course, is gratifying to newspapermen. But it to them increased realization of their responsibility for community and the nation to do an ever better job sharing the news and presenting it in simple, straightforward language. Two decades or more ago when the radio came into wide here was some feeling that it might eventually displace newspaper as the principal source of public information. Radio has become an important factor in news dissemination. But it is satisfying to observe that during these the newspaper has proved beyond doubt its own popularity and permanency. The aim of this newspaper is to be worthy of public service at all times not only through complete and accurate reporting but through unceasing support of all that adores the best interests of our community and our country. NOVEMBER 11, 1897 Mrs. Arthur Lewis entertained the Ladies Euchre club at her residence on Thursday afternoon. Progressive euchre was the order of the afternoon and the game was entered into with a spirited zest that lent an agreeable interest to the playing from first to last. The first prize was won by Mrs. J. W. Landell, the second by Mrs. Lewis and the booby by Mrs. L. W. Killey. Delicious refreshments of chicken salad, ice cream, cake and coffee were served at the close of the game. Miss Kate Backs who has been seriously ill for a fortnight with typhoid fever is convalescing and if no unforeseen complications arise, will probably be able to be about again shortly. Charles Dussort has sold to Jacob Yaeger all his interest in mining claims in the Trabuco for the sum of $1200.

For two days after election this initiative measure was supposed to have been defeated by a decisive majority, but it was discovered that an error of 24,000 votes was made in footing the returns from Alameda county. When all returns were in it was found that the Wright act had carried by more than 30,000. The Wright act makes every state, county and city officer a dry agent, and gives him authority to search your premises without the formality of getting a warrant. If you have a bottle of illicit liquor in your home, whether of Volstead days or not, your home is subject to search, you are subject to fine and your home may be sold to satisfy the penalty under the operation of the Wright prohibition act.

K SHORTAGE Steams have been written about the new car shortage which has appeared about the scarcity of new trucks, even with trucks are more vital to the public welfare in many cities than passenger cars. What many persons don't know is that without trucks, thousands of outlying communities would be virtually isolated. Having no rail service must rely on trucks to bring in the merchandise they need to haul out the things they produce. Trucks also make much of the freight volume between big cities. Last two thirds of the tonnage moved between Los Angeles and Francisco went by truck. The shortage in trucks is acute in the light type. Two of the biggest truck manufacturers are reported to have a backlog of a million vehicles when them. As it is, the motor industry turned out more than 183,000 trucks in the first half of this year—a pace faster than the last program year of 1941. The heavy unpaid demand still remaining indicates how great the crisis toward motor transport. Truxaw's Father Now Monsignor Of six priests in the Los Angeles Archdiocese of the Catholic church who have just been ordained to the rank of Papal Chambers is Rev. Father Joseph J. W., a brother of Dr. J. W. Wiley of Anaheim and a fellow priest at Menlo Park of Rev. Henry W. Gross of St. Luke church.
