THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher GENE DE PORIS Managing Editor WILLARD GREGORY City and Sports Editor MYLES BRADLEY Picture Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager RALPH HOULAND Classified Advertising Manager University of California regents act wisely The University of California regents (including Governor Warren) Friday fired 157 faculty assistants and other employees for refusing to sign letters declaring they are not commies. And, others are slated to go. Of course, the babies who want to sink the Bill of Rights will scream and hiss at the action—and their loudest yelling will be about violation of their God-given "Constitutional rights." Well, there always are both the emotional and the common sense sides to these things. The emotional outbursts pursue a theme about "victim of such fascist purges" (as the reds like to call these things). Then the theme always brings in Hitler and the Gestapo, etc., etc. By that time their emotions are so high, they are seeing (and acting) political views of each generation. The school system is too vital in teaching the truths of freedom and democracy to permit it to be tainted by alien doctrines. On the other side, the arguments of these traitors to the educational system is that a man's political belief is sacred—that his right to follow any political doctrine is guaranteed by the Constitution. Again, the common sense course must prevail. A man's political beliefs are sacred if they lie within the great principles on which this nation was founded — and which have made it great. The overwhelming majority of Americans believe in that. If a man's beliefs lie outside the American way then his Love really makes the world go 'round . . . What say we get on a MUCH more pleasant subject? Honeymoons . . . Yes sir, June around Anaheim is no different than June anywhere else . . . Have you noticed the pictures of all those beautiful brides printed in the Gazette? (Come to think of it, the Gazette may be without pictures for a few days come the second week in July. Our picture editor, Myles Bradley is . . . Getting married.) Anyway, to get back to honeymoons. One of the lovely gals whose bridal picture appeared in the Gazette came in the office last week to get enough copies of the paper to send to exactly 325 persons. Since she had a wonderful glow about her—evidence of a beautiful honeymoon—we asked her how she would advise all about-to-be married girls on the subject of a honeymoon. By golly, you could tell she was one intelligent bride; she said: "Map out your honeymoon carefully beforehand. Don't do it alone—get that boy friend interested in it up to his neck." "Have it all agreed exactly where you are going, how much money you can spend, and how long you will stay. Don't take a long journey after the wedding. The wedding (and all that goes before it) is fatiguing to the extreme. Avoid getting tired, irritable, and down in the dumps. "The best place for a honeymoon is a nice, quiet spot close to Anaheim—perhaps in the desert, at the shore, or in the mountains. "Don't stay out late hitting the night spots. "Discuss thoroughly with your husband all the doubts and fears either of you may have on this honeymoon business. Otherwise you may get your marriage off to an unsteady start. If necessary don't hesitate to get what you consider competent (your parents') advice on all phases of married life. You never will be sorry. "With all that taken care of, just . . . "BE HAPPY." Oh yes, she mentioned one more thing. Honeymooners are champion forgetters. She was so carried away with her nuptial bliss that she walked out of the hotel leaving her wedding jewelry. But she subsequently retrieved it. End of a beatiful Chapter 1. RAPID CITY, South I came out to the Blank yesterday to dedicate the lighting system which now the majestic, granite Washington, Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt high on the side of Mount more in this beautiful park. Sometimes I think it is thing for a Washington paperman, or even a W ton bureaucrat or for American, as a matter to get away from his and do some thinking about founding fathers and their goals they set for us out. The four patriots who are carved on this mount were all crusaders and, in dangerous revolutionaries Washington and Jeffers considered so dangerous crowned heads of Europe desperately—even as late Emperor Maximilian du Civil War—to defeat the versive" democracy left wake. Lincoln was another reary, considered so danger the South that it rebelled Teddy Roosevelt's "day campaign against big causes the corporations o to heap more abuse on than that heaped on the another Roosevelt. Neveltheless, these men creed of government and for human living which passed anything in the day. They tried to take principles of Christianity apply them to the governed peoples. Christ left to the doctrine of dignity. The founding fathers, but a new, clean world, tried that doctrine out. The p which Jefferson laid down IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS.

The convention will be in session for 12 days. THE BIG DRAIN U.S. TREASURY THE COLD WAR MORRIS RAPID CITY, South Dakota—I came out to the Black Hills yesterday to dedicate the gigantic lighting system which now floods the majestic, granite faces of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, carved high on the side of Mount Rushmore in this beautiful National park. Sometimes I think it is a good thing for a Washington newspaper or even a Washington bureaucrat or for every American, as a matter of fact, to get away from his routine and do some thinking about our founding fathers and the great goals they set for us to carry out. The four patriots whose faces are carved on this mountain side were all crusaders and, in a sense, dangerous revolutionaries. In fact, Washington and Jefferson were considered so dangerous that the crowned heads of Europe tried desperately—even as late as the Emperor Maximilian during our Civil War—to defeat the "subversive" democracy left in their wake. Lincoln was another revolutionary, considered so dangerous by the South that it rebelled. While Teddy Roosevelt's "dangerous" campaign against big business caused the corporations of his day to heap more abuse on his head than that heaped on the head of another Roosevelt. Neveltheless, these men set a creed of government and a goal for human living which has surpassed anything in the world today. They tried to take the basic principles of Christianity and apply them to the governing of peoples. Christ left to the world the doctrine of dignity of man. The founding fathers, building in a new, clean world, tried to carry that doctrine out. The philosophy which Jefferson laid down for the been so busy looking under State Department beds and worrying about five-year-old mistakes that we fail to look ahead to prevent the mistakes of the future. Washington and Jefferson had a lot more excuse to succumb to fear than we. They were operating 13 weak and struggling colonies, surrounded by big and avaricious monarchies. But they were so busy pioneering, so busy pushing on to new frontiers, that they didn't have time to be afraid. Yet we, the most powerful nation in the world, are so busy concentrating on armed defense that either we don't have time, or are too paralyzed with fear to take the offensive. Ideas, Not Bullets The communists today are not fighting with bodies or bullets, but with ideas and men's minds. Bodies and bullets, artillery and airplanes are expensive. Ideas are cheap; though it takes ingenuity, perseverance and courage to use them. We have sent billions in arms, food and material to Europe and the Orient; but we have not accompanied them with ideas. In most cases we have not even stamped them with a mark to let it be known they came from the American people. Sometimes we have stamped them with the initials "UNNRA" or "JRC," but few people know what those initials mean. Almost never have we spelled out the fact: "These gifts come to you from folks just like you in Wichita, Wenatchee and Waukegan." Age of Hope Perhaps what the world needs today are some new objectives, new goals, and new hope. Perhaps what we need to do is take the great goals which Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt set for us, and extend them beyond our own borders. We have done a pretty good job of fulfilling those goals in this country, but we have rested on our oars of late in extending their greed to others. Oh, Ye Graduates! That is a great week in any town when the young folks come to graduate. Then "to be young is very Heaven." When they came marching down the aisles, was it not impressive? They seemed so sturdy, so well set up. More than half were men. Education is no feminine monopoly in Anaheim. They moved with the sense of accomplishment. A great deed had been wrought. They were proud of their company. Confidence glowed in the faces. In contrast to this gorgeous pageant, I could not but remember the simple rites of my own graduation as a boy. In that small town, 12 of us made the class. Not for us the splendid orchestra, nor the long lines of marchers. Yet we did feel a great importance. They did place for each of us in the front of the auditorium, a table where friends could place flowers and gifts. Our families were there with gleams on their faces. Each of us was honored with a conspicuous part. There were salutatorian and valedictorian, and the others of us had five minute essays. That little essay: the nerve (Continued on Page 7) LOCAL HEROES—T son (center), and H Gazette receptionist tial rig. Ladig was en to Fire Chief R. W. holocaust which des Neveltheless, these men set a creed of government and a goal for human living which has surpassed anything in the world today. They tried to take the basic principles of Christianity and apply them to the governing of peoples. Christ left to the world the doctrine of dignity of man. The founding fathers, building in a new, clean world, tried to carry that doctrine out. The philosophy which Jefferson laid down for the guidance and protection of the individual man in the society of men was carried further by Lincoln's crusade to make all men free and equal. How well we of this generation have succeeded in living up to their great goals will be for others to judge, but at least I think we have tried. The Age of Fear However, in this year 1950, halfway through this modern and amazing century, we are in real danger of bogging down in an "age of fear." Faced with the awful knowledge that others have the atomic bomb, faced with the fear of the hydrogen bomb, of bacteriological warfare, of new trans-oceanic submarines and trans-Atlantic rockets, we are in definite danger of relapsing into an age of fear, an age when we do not go forward because we are paralyzed with fright. The symptoms of fear have been all too apparent in recent months — almost ever since President Truman announced that Russia had the atomic bomb. It is a well-known medical fact that fear causes paralysis and lack of decision. When injected into the human body it causes nausea and poison. Injected into the body politic, it has the same effect. Perhaps that is why we have Age of Hope Perhaps what the world needs today are some new objectives, new goals, and new hope. Perhaps what we need to do is take the great goals which Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt set for us, and extend them beyond our own borders. We have done a pretty good job of fulfilling those goals in this country, but we have rested on our cars of late in extending their creed to others. Perhaps we need a new formula, a new means of extending the ideals of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln to the rest of the world, a new vehicle for selling hope. I am not sure what that vehicle is. But I do know that we must offer ourselves and the rest of the world something more than arms and the inevitable war that comes from sole reliance on arms. The First World War gave Russia to the communists. The Second War gave Russia half the world. The Third World War, if it comes, would leave a chaos in which communism would thrive everywhere. So let's get away from this age of fear and its sole reliance on armed force. And, in subsequent columns I should like to discuss how we can get back to an age of courage, faith and hope. MEN'S CLUB SEES PICTURES The Men's club of St. Michael's church met last Thursday evening in the parish hall for dinner and their regular monthly meeting.

LOCAL HEROES—Two Anaheim firemen who played gallant parts in the Fullerton fire, Jimmie Wilson (center), and Hubert W. Ladig (right), review exclusive Gazette photos of Friday's blaze with Gazette receptionist Anita Robertson. Wilson manned the hose at the top of Anaheim's 65-foot aerial rig. Ladig was engineer on the $29,000 outfit. Both men spent five hours at Fullerton. According to Fire Chief R. W. Nyboe, eight members of the Anaheim Fire Department aided in quelling the holocaust which destroyed an estimated $500,000 worth of property.
