KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher ROBERT FUNSETH Managing Editor WILLARD GREGORY City Editor NEIL STANLEY Display Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager These Would Be Your Senator . . . On June 6, the voters of California will select the party candidates for the offices of governor and United States Senator. It is important that you know for whom you are voting for these high offices. The Associated Press has prepared a roundup of data concerning the candidates. If you haven't time to put the candidates under the microscope, here are good thumbnail sketches of the principal candidates that pretty well tell you where they stand on principal issues. California is going through an ardent, free swinging campaign in the race for the United States Senate. Six candidates want to go to Washington to succeed ailing Democratic Senator Sheridan Downey. They're after the Democratic or Republican nominations—or both—in the June 6 primary a federal pension to 48 different state plans. Senator Downey, in urging the workingman to vote for Boddy, a self-made man, declared his record of "sound liberalism appeals to the labor groups of the state." The son of a small farmer, Boddy tells the farmers he'll not forget them if he is elected. Boddy describes himself as a "referee with an open mind" on the Central Valley project controversy that involved Downey and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. He endorses all public power features of CVP, however. Urging faster work on the water-power project, he believes the bureau should remain a service agency and not assume the role of "proprietor." On the 160-acre land limitation dispute, he says: "The basic premise of the law to prevent land speculators from California is going through an ardent, free swinging campaign in the race for the United States Senate. Six candidates want to go to Washington to succeed ailing Democratic Senator Sheridan Downey. They're after the Democratic or Republican nominations—or both—in the June 6 primary election. For practical purposes, the contest narrows down to: two democrats who call themselves liberals; and a Republican strongly opposed to "New Dealism". Everything points to Republican Rep. Richard J. Nixon of Whittier to be his party's candidate in the November runoff. In fact, he's making a bid to capture the Democratic honors as well. Fighting it out for the Democratic nomination otherwise are New Dealer Manchester Boddy, Los Angeles editor and publisher; and New Dealer Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas of Los Angeles. Both have crossfiled on the Republican ticket. The 59 year old Boddy, who has Senator Downey's endorsement, says: "We must consolidate and protect the gains we made during the past two decades under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. Mrs. Douglas, 49, once a stage star, says: "If you doubt where I stand on anything, check the late President Roosevelt's record. I am 100 per cent for it." And Nixon, 37, ranking minority member of the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, says: "This is the time for us, as California Republicans, to fight the things our opponents have done and are doing; and, naturally, to fight for the things they refuse to do." The campaigns of the three minor candidates have been like a whisper against the torrent of words by the leading contenders. But State Senator Earl Desmond of Sacramento, a conservative Democrat; Albert Levitt, Hollywood Republican; and Ulysses Grant Bixby Meyer of Los Angeles, Republican, listed as a "psychologist educator," are on the ballot just the same. Nixon, a Navy veteran, first elected to the House in 1946, has lashed out against anything which smacks of "State Socialism" or what he calls "burdensome bureaucratic controls." The dark haired, energetic Conference with an open mind on the Central Valley project controversy that involved Downey and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. He endorses all public power features of CVP, however. Urging faster work on the water-power project, he believes the bureau should remain a service agency and not assume the role of "proprietor." On the 160-acre land limitation dispute, he says: "The basic premise of the law to prevent land speculators from making huge profits in areas where the federal government brings water to new public lands is sound and must be preserved." Helen Gahagan Douglas went to Congress in 1944 after she got a taste of Democratic politics and found she liked it. It was a new career for the onetime David Belasco star on Broadway and the wife of actor Melvyn Douglas. As she has sized up the campaign, she will win the Democratic nomination. In February, she told reporters, "You will be surprised at the number of Republican votes I will get." Being a woman she said later, is "A plus—an asset." A Douglas campaign advertisement quotes Boddy's Los Angeles Daily News as assessing Mrs. Douglas as "not only one of California's great women but one of its ablest representatives in the court of national and world public opinion." The date—not given—was obviously before Boddy jumped into the race himself. Senator Downey, on the other hand, characterizes her as unfit for a place in the United States Senate. He has accused her of opposing President Truman repeatedly. She supported Vice President Henry Wallace for renomination at the 1944 Democratic National convention. "Powerful special interests do not want me in the Senate," she says. "For they know that as your Senator, I will represent all the people of California and will not do the bidding of the railroads, the private utilities, the oil companies or the land barons." "I stand squarely on the platform of the Democratic Party," she said at another point. She praises the Marshall Plan. She supported the Brannan Plan to subsidize farm prices. And she's for public housing, extension of social security, family size farms, and cheap water and power. Mrs. Douglas opposes the un-American activities committee as keenly as Nixon defends its work. So he asked Acheson's help in personalities sometimes big part in moulding of the world. One person regarding the Big Threat Acheson and Schuman is likely like each other. Fue Schuman, born in Alsace since that has been shut and forth between German France for almost a centuryizes the vital import French-German cooperation.

Nixon, a Navy veteran, first elected to the House in 1946, has lashed out against anything which smacks of "State Socialism" or what he calls "burdensome bureaucratic controls." The dark haired, energetic Congressman is opposed to compulsory health insurance. He believes the basic provisions of the Taft-Hartley act should be retained "in the public interest". He advocates a national old age pension system. On world affairs Nixon is vigorously anti-communist. He insists the United States should adopt a more aggressive foreign policy to make the United Nations an effective instrument for peace. On state issues, he asserts that California is being "sold down the river" by the Central Arizona Project. He feels there should be no quibbling over public vs. private development of Central Valley project water and power. The job he says, should go to whichever can do it best. Boddy, long active in civic and Democratic party affairs, say the objectives he would consider the most important as Senator would be: "Keep this country out of war;" and, "Keep it out of another depression." He favors a job-providing $2,000,000,000 public works program. Communism; he says, is America's "deadly enemy." He's for the Marshall Plan and President Truman's Point/WV program to build up backward areas. He too, prefers "I stand squarely on the platform of the Democratic Party," she said at another point. She praises the Marshall Plan. She supported the Brannan Plan to subsidize farm prices. And she's for public housing, extension of social security, family size farms, and cheap water and power. Mrs. Douglas opposes the un-American activities committee as keenly as Nixon defends its work. She introduced a bill to protect the rights of citizens appearing before Congressional committees. She is on record against lifting the 160 acre limitation of the sale of Central Valley Project water, and credits herself with winning appropriation in Congress for steam plants and public transmission lines. Watch for sketches on the gubernatorial candidates. WASHINGTON — (AP) — Most important job put across by Dean Acheson during the Big Three conference was at a private Lancaster house talk with Ernie Bevin. Actually, the talk took place before the Big Three conference started and had to do with the full-important, but oh, so tender question of a British blessing for the proposed French-German iron-coal pool. Before talking to Bevin, Acheson had been in Paris where Foreign Minister Schuman had also discussed his plan for the French-German pooling of iron and coal, and had expressed the fear that the British would be opposed. TWO CROSSES THREAT OF A 3RD WORLD WAR MEMORIAL TO THOSE WHO DIED FOR PEACE IN THE LONG AGE By 75 Years On Tuesday evening there will be an event given at Kroeger's purpose of raising building our Episcopal this place. The work "Vivian" and the super Muse, have been kindly assisted by some of the cal talent in Anaheim. 75 cents for adults, children under 12 may be procured at principal stores. Perf gins at 8 o'clock. The intermission of three an hour during which cake and lemonade will be procured at Contributions of cakers will be thankful Donors will please send contributions to Kroeger Tuesday any time after.

There will be mations, orations, etc., Larkin, Miss Annie and J. J. Hill are the arrangements. The Republican co pointed the following mitteemen: E. Bouton inson, John R. Brierl rillo, Frank Cowdon, rier and George C. K So he asked Acheson's help. Personalities sometimes play a big part in moulding the peace of the world. One personal factor regarding the Big Three is that Acheson and Schuman instinctively like each other. Furthermore, Schuman, born in Alsace, a province that has been shunted back and forth between Germany and France for almost a century, realizes the vital importance of French-German cooperation. As a boy, Schuman learned to speak German along with French. When he grew up he served in the German army in World War I. He didn't want to serve, bpt he had to. Now, as Foreign Minister of France, he believes that the two countries which have bled each other white three times in 85 years must learn to live in peace. And the key to peace is cooperation regarding the iron and coal of the Ruhr and Rhineland. Acheson Convinces Bevin That, in brief, was the thesis which Foreign Minister Schuman sold Acheson, and it didn't take too much selling. Acheson was strong for it. The real selling was when Acheson met Ernie Bevin in London. Here again personalities entered the picture. The British consider Acheson a staunch friend. His mother was a Canadian, a member of the wealthy Gooderham-Hiram Walker whisky distilling family, and unquestionably many of his policies have been strongly pro-British. Therefore, when Foreign Minister Bevin started kicking over the traces against the Schuman plan, he found himself facing the persuasive arguments of a friend. Bevin didn't like the economic union of Western Europe for several reasons, one of them being that the British Labor government must operate under fixed prices with a protected market, and can't compete well with the free mass market of a European economic union. Another reason is Britain's traditional balance-of-power policy of playing France and Germany against each other. However, Acheson, during his private, Lancaster house conference, pointed out that cooperation between France and Germany was the only hope for future European peace and finally won the belligerent British Foreign Minister around. To show good faith, Prime Minister Attlee next day made a guarded statement in the House of Commons favoring the Schuman plan. British Sabotage?? However, State Department officials are now worried over diplomatic grapevine reports that the British have started working backstage to scuttle the Schuman plan. Substantiation of these reports comes from John F. Reynolds, a London observer with his pulse on the foreign office, who writes: "Now that the series of London conferences is over, the Foreign Office is facing one of its stiffest tasks. M. Monnet, the French expert, has explained the (Schuman) plan to pool Western Europe's heavy industries, a technical committee of international experts will get busy to work out details, and it will be up to the Foreign Office to stifle the plan. "It will not be killed outright, but will be softened considerably." Though Mr. Attlee has welcomed the French initiative as a valuable contribution to the promotion of European unity, both the Foreign Office and the Treasury are worried. "On the international coal and steel authority, which would run the pool, Britain would be in a hopeless minority. Not only would this mean the beginning of the end of Britain's sovereignty, but it would also seriously threaten Labor's policy of economic planning and nationalization, for neither Germany nor France are inclined to change their present economic system, which is non-socialist." So it looks as if Dean Acheson would have to exert his friendly influence on the British all over again. Colony Quips This is No. 3 of the series we are running from the pen of Bill Abbott about the different opinions of people on what frozen concentrate has done to Florida's economics. The impact has been terrific and we have hardly felt it here in California. But we will—make no mistake about that. And we all had better get ready. That is why this column has gone out of its way to keep you all up to date as we are able. Rest assured that when any information is sent our way it will be printed. No matter whose toes are frod upon. The only person we are interested in is the grower. Here is Bill Abbott on Florida: "Orange groves have been selling from four to five times as much as they were a year ago in the biggest boom of the citrus industry." Steel authority, which would run the pool, Britain would be in a hopeless minority. Not only would this mean the beginning of the end of Britain's sovereignty, but it would also seriously threaten Labor's policy of economic planning and nationalization, for neither Germany nor France are inclined to change their present economic system, which is non-socialist." So it looks as if Dean Acheson would have to exert his friendly influence on the British all over again. The Republican conspired to follow their mitteemen: E. Bouton,inson, John R.

Gdson SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago On Tuesday evening, June 15, there will be an entertainment given at Kroeger's hall for the purpose of raising money for building our Episcopal church in this place. The world renowned "Vivian" and the superior Madam Muse, have been kind enough to give their services and will be assisted by some of the best musical talent in Anaheim. Admission 75 cents for adults, 25 cents for children under 12 years. Tickets may be procured at any of the principal stores. Performance begins at 8 o'clock. There will be an intermission of three-quarters of an hour during which ice cream, cake and lemonade will be served. Contributions of cake and flowers will be thankfully received. Donors will please send their contributions to Kroeger's hall on Tuesday any time after 4 o'clock. The Good Templars of Orange will give a festival on Friday evening, June 18th, at the Hygiene Home. All friends of the cause are invited and we are requested to say that their comfort will be looked after. Ice cream, strawberries, oysters, etc., will be served. There will be music, recitations, orations, etc., Mrs. H. H. Larkin, Miss Annie Woodhead, and J. J. Hill are the committee on arrangements. The Republican convention appointed the following central committeemen: E. Bouton, W. F. Robinson, John R. Brierly, J. J. Carrillo, Frank Cowdon, A. T. Currier and George C. Knox. The fol- At 2:30 o'clock Malvern Hill Post escorted by the Fullerton band and accompanied by the Buena Park delegation, arrived on Lemon st., when hundreds of children from the Anaheim, West Anaheim, Fullerton, Buena Park and other schools awaited them. The procession was taken up to the cemetery, where a large concourse of people was assembled. After decoration of the soldier graves, Rev. Pratt offered prayer, Joseph McKinney of Buena Park read Lincoln's Gettysburg address, E. T. Langley of Santa Ana then delivered the closing speech. 25 Years Ago Memorial Day was observed with appropriate ceremonies in the Anaheim cemetery and at Loma Vista Saturday. Malvern Hill Post G.A.R., the Spanish-American War Veterans American Legion, the Woman's Relief Corps all taking part in the ceremonies. The services in Anaheim cemetery began at 2:30 o'clock with Judge Thomas of Santa Ana giving the oration. Fifty-six mounds decorated with small flags marked the resting places of soldiers who have passed on. Rev. Markel gave the prayer and R. E. Smith, commander of Anaheim Post, American Legion, gave the tribute to the unknown dead. Arnold Enearl recited Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Arnold's father, J. H. Enearl, who was present fought three days on that field, is followed by advance in grove prices. Over a period of years, he said, the price of groves shows a swing above value in good times and below value in bad times. He is of the opinion that most current prices are too high. "There is also a wide variance in the prices of groves today, he added, and many overlook factors of equipment, state of bearing, surrounding land and other things that might affect prices. In one recent large transaction, for example, the sale included several unrelated businesses along with the grove property. Must Make Check Any analysis of grove prices for comparative purposes," Knight said, should be checked to ascertain if the purchaser was an informed buyer. Many groves are sold in good times to speculators hoping for a quick profit, and to some without sufficient knowledge of the citrus industry to be considered an informed buyer. "On the present market, because of high fruit prices and the national inflationary trend, groves are selling in excess of sound values. In most sales, long term economic values are given little consideration. This is a spot price market, brought about by inflation, uninformed buying and in some cases speculation." Roger W. Babson, noted economist, has said the same thing in other words a few weeks ago. He charged that current buyers into the citrus industry were doing so on a stock speculation basis, and not for love of Florida or the industry. "Knight observed that this year may be a repetition of 1944-45 when the government was buying huge quantities of citrus. In 1945 grove prices were up to $2000 (Continued on Page 6) looked after.

"Thousands of acres have changed hands in the last year, and more thousands are being rushed into planting wherever overworked nurseries can supply the seedling trees." Clearing More Land "Still more money is said to be reposing in northern banks to buy either bearing or new acreage. Bulldozers may be seen on any highway in the citrus belt, leveling soil for more trees. 'It's all due to the new wonder product, frozen citrus concentrate. Three Florida scientists made this possible without cost to the manufacturers by discovering that the addition of fresh juice to concentrated juice restored its original taste. A third of Florida's orange crop is going into the new product this season. 'When we can get concentrate down to 15 cents or two for a quarter,' says L. C. Edwards, vice president of Pasco Packing Company, there won't be enough room in Florida to grow the trees to make the concentrate that people want." "The situation hasn't quite got to that stage yet. Concentrate still is above 30 cents normally for a six-ounce can that produces 24 ounces of juice with three parts of water added. 'As a matter of fact, high fruit and grove prices pushed up the concentrate price to the housewife instead of lowering it. The more fruit used, the higher it got as it was diverted from channels of the fresh fruit and single strength juice trade. There are signs now that the current price is developing some sales resistance. Says Prices Abnormal "There are definitely those who warn that current grove prices are abnormal and may be heralding a 'boom and bust' era when the entire industry will find itself at the other end of the economic pendulum. And yet that danger is not new or unusual. It has happened before, once just two years ago, and some are afraid it will happen again. That may be the reason General Foods Corporation one of the 'Big Four' operators in the concentrate field and long experienced with frozen foods, is not plunging into grove ownership like some others. It may be conscious of the sharp peaks and valleys of the industry. 'Richard E. Knight, widely known Tampa grove appraiser, points out that it is natural for grove prices to follow fruit prices. Any abnormal rise in fruit prices..." "The situation hasn't quite got to that stage yet.
