Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Hallowe'en Anaheim's one big night of the year, and day for that matter, will be on Hallowe'en, next Monday, when the annual Hallowe'en festival will again blossom forth in all its glory. Starting the festivities of the day will be the breakfast in the city park followed by a day of fun on the streets of the city and climaxed in the evening by the mammoth parade featuring beautiful floats adorned with the county's most beautiful girls, comic floats, horse drawn vehicles, a parade of the finest horse flesh in this area and topped off with the marching bands of the various schools. Indeed a hilarious day in the city of Anaheim! A lot of strange things are bound to happen next Monday night. That is the night when the witches and goblins come out of hiding for their annual fling. Most adults, no doubt, are hoping that they don't fling things around too better calculated to use the organs of the state to bilk and victimize the aged and the blind!" That the charges made by the blind leader, Dr. TenBroek, are serious, goes without saying. And it is well that he reports having turned over his information to the State Senate Committee investigating the activities of the McLain pension clique. But as TenBroek points out in urging the electorate of California to vote "yès" on Proposition No. 2 at the November 8 special election, there is a way to return pension administration to a sound basis, subject to normal gubernatorial and legislative controls: "Proposition 2, while maintaining pension payments at $75 for the aged and $85 for the blind—restores a sound and progressive pension system, without payoffs, without private pork barrels, without power for persons who know nothing of social welfare problems." ty's most beautiful girls, comic floats, horse drawn vehicles, a parade of the finest horse flesh in this area and topped off with the marching bands of the various schools. Indeed a hilarious day in the city of Anaheim! A lot of strange things are bound to happen next Monday night. That is the night when the witches and goblins come out of hiding for their annual fling. Most adults, no doubt, are hoping that they don't fling things around too much, however. It's quite understandable that on their one night of freedom during the year the supernatural visitors should feel very mischievous. But it could be that if the youngsters will try to keep them under control the witches and goblins can have their "outing" without being destructive to anyone's property. Of course, the standard equipment for Hallowe'en is sure to appear—store windows that suddenly blossom forth with designs defying description, pumpkins that develop saw tooth grins, and small fry who collect ransome on the threat of "trick 'r treat." Let's hope that everybody has a good time—including parents and neighbors. No Target Practice If no one else can gain satisfaction or comfort from the unification squabble now going on before a congressional committee and in the public print, it should be a pleasing situation to Russia. For if there is one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb, it is that the national security is endangered. While there should be grave misgivings to any public airing of the inter-service fight—obviously congressmen are in no better position to evaluate the facts properly than any other lay group—if it is going to be done, proper attention should be given the suggestions of Defense Secretary Jonhson. Mr. Johnson recommends that the congressional committee call on former President Hoover for testimony on military expenditures, and that the following be summoned for technical information. Dwight Eisenhower; General Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Admiral Louis Denfield, Chief of Naval Operations; General Hoyt S. Vandenburg, Air Force Chief of Staff; and General Lawton Collins, Army Chief of Staff. In this way it would be next to impossible for the hearing to degenerate to a state where each service conducted target practice at the November 8 special election, there is a way to return pension administration to a sound basis, subject to normal gubernatorial and legislative controls: "Proposition 2, while maintaining pension payments at $75 for the aged and $85 for the blind—restores a sound and progressive pension system, without payoffs, without private pork barrels, without power for persons who know nothing of social welfare problems." Labor Sees the "Bug" Repudiating the impression that labor is backing pension promoter George H. McLain, a veteran labor leader, Gus Gaynor, a member of the Railway Clerks and their first legislative representative in California, has declared that McLain's interest in labor "is as phoney as a seven dollar bill." Urging support of Proposition 2 on the November 8 ballot, which maintains pension payments at $75 monthly for the aged and at $85 monthly for the blind but in all other respects repeals the McLain pension scheme, Gaynor stated that "labor wants no part in . . . exploitation of the aged and blind. Labor wants no part in . . . pension-machine dictatorship." In pointing out that the McLain pension clique has no claim to the friendship of labor, Gaynor said: "McLain & Company had a few letterheads printed in a union shop. Then to escape paying union wages to union printers in a union shop, they took this letterhead to their own shop, had it photographed and reproduced with the union bug on it . . . trying again to fool labor." Next on his bill of particulars, Gaynor said that the fantastic cost of the McLain pension scheme is being paid principally with the sales tax—which has just been increased—and that "for years union labor has fought the sales tax because it falls heavier on labor than anyone else." It's evident that labor sees the "bug" in the McLain scheme, just as the Council for the Blind, all the major women's groups and farm groups and practically every civic-minded organization in the state has discovered its defects. And it is refreshing to see labor and business, farm groups and women's groups working together for a sound method of pension administration. It's a combination that's hard to beat. The accidental fire which last week destroyed the barns, stable and grain and hay crop of Alkander Henry is not the first mishap of that kind which happened to him. It was during the first year of his arrival here now about six years ago that a came along and aided by a h Santa Ana wind completely stroyed the labors of an entire year. Since that time until present year the seasons have been favorable for any of our farming community, and now he had again been successful his agricultural labors, he a second time has received a mostorious set back. A grand ball, the first of a series November 9, 1898 John Eymann reports a collection of $29.75 for defraying expenses of the meeting of Pomological society on Thursday and Friday of last week. All have been paid and the voucher turned in to the Farmers club under whose auspices the meeting was held. John's efforts to insure the success of the meeting deserve all praise, and he is entitled to thanks of the community there. Painters Middleham and Knox are engaged in painting new Deutsch block, inside and preparatory to the opening of establishment by Harris and Frenstein with a stock of dry goods and groceries. A doorway has been cut through the partition separating the two east rooms by Schindler. Mr. McWilliams and force of carpenters will begin ting in the shelving today. Falkenstein is on the grounds ing his personal supervision to work of making the alteration and informs us the new firm beginning receiving their stock so time next week. Mrs. Louisa Mottram breached her last on Thursday afternoon the residence of Mrs. Schauma- testimony on military expenditures, and that the following be summoned for technical information. Dwight Eisenhower; General Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Admiral Louis Denfield, Chief of Naval Operations; General Hoyt S. Vandenburg, Air Force Chief of Staff; and General Lawton Collins, Army Chief of Staff. In this way it would be next to impossible for the hearing to degenerate to a state where each service conducted target practice on the other. There would be no wild, unsubstantiated charges from minor officials or officers. And it would seem that the deplorable dispute could be settled in a minimum of time with the smallest amount of harm to the national security. The situation today hardly calls for the different branches of the service to be spending their time fighting each other. If the present high brass can't get together in the Nation's interest, then it is high time new men were put in who can do the job. Proof of the Pudding In a blistering radio attack on pension promoter George H. McLain and Social Welfare Director Myrtle Williams, Dr. Jacobus TenBroek, vice-president of the California Council for the Blind, has stated: "I charge that the State Department of Social Welfare has allowed itself to be used as a campaign collection agency for the George H. McLain Citizens Committee for Old Age Pensions." TenBroek declared, "I further charge that almost from the instant McLain's associate, Mrs. Myrtle Williams, seized power as Director of Social Welfare, this state agency has received money from needy pensioners and turned it over to the McLain organization. Was there ever invented a machine" It's evident that labor sees the "bug" in the McLain scheme, just as the Council for the Blind, all the major women's groups and farm groups and practically every civic-minded organization in the state has discovered its defects. And it is refreshing to see labor and business, farm groups and women's groups working together for a sound method of pension administration. It's a combination that's hard to beat. A Plan That Failed When the new administration went into office its leader, President Truman told the cock-eyed world that the biggest industrial objective was the repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. Well, he made a hot fight, but as the debate progressed on Capitol Hill the Democrats began to slip away from their leader and the Taft-Hartley Act is the same today as it was when the fight was opened against it. The old and worthless Wagner Act molds in its grave. Even so, there has been very little done by the administration to crack down on strikes in the great industries of the country that are so big and dreadful that they constitute tremendous threats against the public interest. SILVER DOLLAR DAZE FOR MAYNARD GLENN Maynard Glenn of the Parker House Cafe made the mistake of believing in the "safety in distance" theory, it seems. Since Anaheim is a far stone's throw from San Francisco and Las Vegas where silver dollars abound, his daughter, "Sister," has the privilege of feeding to her piggy bank all the silver dollars which pass over his cafe counter. Strangely, of late, a heavy run of silver dollars jingle but briefly into his till. Anaheim Gazette since 1870. THE DAYS OF DONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago November 7, 1874 Though the kindness of Mr. Langenberg, the contractor, we shown the details of the vault brick buildings now in construction under his vision. The first building to be expected was the two story store of Mr. O. Langenberg which the first story will be filled into ten rooms which are fitted up as suites or single and in connection with these will be bath rooms and all modern appliances for comfort. The next in order is the two brick building of Mr. Kroger center street. This building will be considered in reality as stores as the basement will need up as a store. The first is intended for a large whole store and the second story will be solely of one large hall feet. The building will be built in architecture to the one described and both will, finished, largely add to the grandeur of the town. We next met the brewery of Mr. Reiser who will be a two story frame ring with a brick foundation. Stappenback is also making final arrangements for a dwell-room Mr. Reiser on the same which will be similar to the one recently built for Mr. accidental fire which lasted at Enterprise hall on Friday evening under the management of the Anaheim band. They wish to obtain funds to purchase a complete set of brass instruments and in order to raise the amount have decided to give a number of dancing parties. Inspector Field, formerly of the London detective police, died a few days ago. Those of us who revere the memory of Dickens for the many pleasant hours spent under the influence of his magic pen, have not forgotten the interest with which, side by side with Inspector Buckett, we followed the slender thread which led back to the mysterious youth of the unhappy mistress of "Bleak House." Inspector Buckett was no imaginary character. He was Inspector Field. The Angle and Mitchell case has at length reached a satisfactory conclusion. It was done without judge or jury. Mitchell keeps the horse and pays Angle about $100 in coin. Misfortunes never come singly. Last week the brother of Don Juan Forster, of Santa Margarita, died suddenly and this week we learn that a carriage containing his wife was upset, and that the lady was seriously injured. Fifteen thousand enthusiastic Orange county fans gathered at Brea Bowl Friday afternoon to see Walter Johnson and Babe Ruth in action. The crowd rooted for Johnson, whose former home was in this section, but Babe Ruth's all-star team batted him for five innings, at the end of which he retired and Harry Hughes went on the mound. Five members of the regular Elks team played on Johnson's side. They were Callan, Ruedy, Bush, Pendleton and Hughes. The umpires were Reardon, Cravath, Herrigan and Potter. Leo Sheridan, Fayette Lewis, Oscar Heying, Harry Pearson and Leslie Swope went up to Berkeley to witness the football game between the Bears and the Trojans Saturday afternoon. Chillie Fischer came over from his ranch at Chino on Thursday to greet Walter Johnson and attend the luncheon given to the oldtime ball players at Elks clubhouse. Born at Hermosa Beach Sunday, November 2, to the wife of Charles Ward, a daughter. Mother and child are doing well. Mrs. Ward was formerly Miss Allene Adams, a well-known society favorite of this city. Ex-United States Senator Cornelius Cole, died at his home in Los Angeles Monday at the age of 102. Cole represented California in Ballot Proposals Face Defeat (Continued from page 1) blind. On this issue supporters have succeeded only in confusing their proposal by engaging in attack upon the present state pension program promoter George H. McLane. Lost among the barrage of verbal cross fire directed at McLane and Mrs. Myrtle Williams, mediated director of the Department of Social Welfare, is the most prominent fact of all. That is similar that a refusal by the voters to vote for Proposition No. 2 can only cult in a substantial increase in state taxes. Authority for this comes only from the proponents of N.C., but from Mrs. Williams who stated publicly, and the record of the department are self evident that the cost of aged aid increased $30 million in the first six months of her administration. Legislative auditor Rolland Vandegrift has reported to the legislative budget committee California faces a $75 million deficit next year. Governor Warren, as early January of this year, told the legislature new taxes will be necessary and advocated such things as tax upon cigarettes and increased liquor and horse race taxes. Vandegrift now points out that the new revenue which will be required by the defeat of No. 2 is not solved by the tax program which the governor advocated. Cost of the McLain program, predicted, will have a more serious effect upon the taxpayers than mere imposition of a few lurey and nuisance taxes. But throughout the state there is little indication that the voter are aware of the additional financial burden the liberal pension is placing upon them. 50 Years Ago November 9, 1898 An Eymann reports a collection of $29.75 for defraying the costs of the meeting of the biological society on Thursday Friday of last week.

The street car service has been discontinued. 25 Years Ago November 6, 1924 By an overwhelming majority the people of the United States Tuesday sustained the administration in its efforts to relieve the nation of its war burden and restore it to a state of normalcy. Latest returns indicate that Coolidge and Dawes will have at least 325 votes in the electoral college and this may be increased to 350 when the figures are known in the doubtful states. It is now indicated that California has given Coolidge a majority of 300,000. The fight on William Schumacher and S. C. Hartranft, inaugurated some time ago failed to gain any strength. Forty-two precincts in the Third Supervisor district out of 44, gave Schumacher for supervisor 5927 and Perry Woodward 1360. These precincts also gave Hartranft for Assemblyman 6379, Allen and Ball 116. To the musical tattoo of rain drops if they fall to the extent of one inch or thereabouts, will come to an automatic end the electric power saving campaign that has ruled throughout southern California since July 1st last.

Pollot Proposals Face Defeat (Continued from page 1) In this issue supporters have needed only in confusing the usual by engaging in attacks the present state pension program promoter George H.

It throughout the state there little indication that the voters aware of the additional finan- burden the liberal pension law facing upon them. the state. Farmers and parents generally are opposed to the measure while city dwellers are apa-thetic on the issue. While predictions on elections are usually no better than guess-work political observers believe the results of the special election will depend entirely upon the turnout of voters. The larger the vote the better will be the changes of passage for all of the ballot proposals. The 1949 general election brought forth an 80.54 per cent vote of the state's registered voters and proponents of the ballot measures are hopeful an equal number can be attracted to the polls next month.
