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 ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Don’t get down in dumps over Korean war The big subject of conversation in Anaheim and elsewhere today is: Will the events in Korea be the spark which will start a new world-wide war, Well, the answer to that question probably eludes even our State and Defense Departments. Sager heads than ours are pondering over that one. So, we are turning to the Associated Press today for an authoritative opinion on the Korean civil war. Gazette-AP columnist Hal Boyle, who is one of the real reporters of the world, relieves the tension when he says Russia won’t fight over Korea. Here is his dispatch to the Gazette: Is this the start of a third World War? Asia tomorrow. And where the day after tomorrow? Wherever poverty and interior political disaffection makes a country ripe for its propaganda. Russia backed down in Greece, is still grappling in a sudden bold grab for Korea, hasn’t yet made its main bid for Southeast Asia. Why doesn’t this mean war right now? For a deep and basic reason inherent to the Russian approach to its own predicament. In its very strength—its great, sprawling, contiguous reach of land—lies its great weakness. It can be hit from many angles, and to keep itself from being approached it has endeavored to surround itself with buffer extensions of itself. So, we are turning to the Associated Press today, for an authoritative opinion on the Korean civil war. Gazette-AP columnist Hal Boyle, who is one of the real reporters of the world, relieves the tension when he says Russia won't fight over Korea. Here is his dispatch to the Gazette: Is this the start of a third World War? That is the question that touches most American hearts today as news pours in of the fighting in far Korea, the "Ireland of the Orient." I believe the answer is: No! I believe that the answer would still be the same even though the United States dispatches troops, ships and planes to back up the cease-fire decree of the United Nations. Why? My conviction is that Soviet Russia isn't yet ready to plunge the globe into another international conflict. She stretches across 7000 vulnerable miles that aren't ready for war. Both her frontiers and her wide open heartland are unprepared for war—if we can believe what our own military authorities say about her. Let her own Russian-trained forces in Korea sweep through that time-bound land—as they have been doing. Or let them fail. Soviet Russia isn't yet ready to tie her own dreams of world conquest to the Northern Korean troops. She yet expects to take Korea by the inactions of the Western world. Again why? Because at present the Soviet military and political aim is to try to take the countries on its vast borders by their own interior revolutions.

The other high school teachers will be selected later. Miss French has resigned to take a place at Covina and Miss Richards has departed for her home in Gridley. Why doesn't this mean war right now? For a deep and basic reason inherent to the Russian approach to its own predicament. In its very strength—its great, sprawling, contiguous reach of land—lies its great weakness. It can be hit from many angles, and to keep itself from being approached it has endeavored to surround itself with buffer extensions of itself. Whether or not it really accepts these satellite states into the pattern of its being, it leaders are trying frantically to protect the main body of Russia from possible enemy blows. Russia lost the first battle for Berlin when its attempt to starve the German population was countered by the great Allied airlift, which flew in food, fuel and medicine. That was a substitute for direct force—and it worked. The Russian propaganda failed. The Allies delivered. It is my conviction that even stronger measures can be taken in Korea than were employed in Greece—if the Allied command decides it is worth the gamble. Why? Because Russia, big as she is, is still unhinged. Her two greatest natural enemies are Japan and Germany. They lie at opposite frontiers. And weakened as they are, I can't see how Russia will ever go to war over Korea with these two great historic bulldogs unpacified—ready to rip her throat from either side. Russia is still barking in Korea—just another test of her pressure—and isn't ready to bite. She'll still stand for her bluff being called. And I'd call Joe Stalin now, just as Adolf Hitler should have been called when he marched into the Rhineland. Remember? WASHINGTON—Attorney J.

The second kiln at Fischer and Welch's brickyard has been burning all week. Dr. James is improving his lot on Lemon street, recently purchased from Mr. Steinhart. Bennerscheidt is fitting up a saloon in the building formerly occupied by George Bauer. Five miles of the Cajon ditch is completed and everything is progressing swimmingly. R. B. Guthrie was elected trustee of the Richland school district at the recent election. Anaheim lodge F. and A.M. will hold a special meeting this evening at which a large attendance is requested. 50 Years Ago The school trustees organized on Saturday evening by electing T. A. Darling president of the board and J. H. Clabaugh, secretary. The following teachers were assigned to the various departments of the city schools: Central—F. E. Little, principal; Miss Carrie E. Roberts, assistant; Miss Mary E. Rector, Miss Adella Mosseman, Miss Lillian M. Bowland, Miss Jennie Burton. West Anaheim—Richard N. Bird, principal; Mrs. Hattie A. Spencer, Miss Rosa A.

Miss French has resigned to take a place at Covina and Miss Richards has departed for her home in Gridley. At the athletic exercises in Santa Ana on the Fourth of July, Joe Backs and Paul Turck of this city didn't do anything to the Santa Ana boys. Joe Backs won the running broad jump, the 50 yard dash, the 100 yard dash and Paul Turck won the standing broad jump, the shot put and the high pole vault. Backs and Turck are a great team. 25 Years Ago The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce wound up its year's business at the annual meeting and banquet held at the Elks' clubhouse Wednesday evening. Reports of various officials disclosed that the membership in the chamber is now 309 and the treasurer had $1700 of surplus money in his hands at the close of the year. The meeting saw the retirement of Harry D. Riley who for the past six years has served as president of the chamber. Mr. Riley declined re-election on the ground that he needs a vacation. A beautiful gold watch presented to him by members as a token of their appreciation of the strenuous work in behalf of the chamber and the city. At a later meeting of directors H. E. W. Barnes was elected to occupy the presidential chair. Among speakers at the banquet were Rev. Thomas H. Walker, William Stark, E. M. Smith, Secretary Reid and Dr. Johnston. Furthermore, a Wasatch lieutenant was sent Hughes' wires, together with Washington county duplicating Soviet methods. In the Senate friends regardless of politics, ex-Senator McGrath to prosecute an old case.

But the Justice through condemning it in the Amerasia case though condemning it in the Howard Hugh case. Apparently they want to tangle with ranking Republican Senators.

Remember year some of the bet for as high as $84 on the grower. No wonder Florida great year business w It was a big laugh Mr. Wohlwend got meeting and said he WASHINGTON—Attorney General J. Howard McGrath, with a good record for straight-shooting, has got himself betwixt and between in the Senator Brewster wire-tapping scandal. Here is what he faces. On one side, McGrath was elected to the Senate when he exposed, berated, and campaigned against the Governor Vanderbilt wire-tapping scandal. The Republican governor of Rhode Island had tapped the wires of Rhode Island's attorney general and the mayor of Pawtucket, using the same wire tapper, Frank Bielaski, who later raided the now famous Amerasia magazine. McGrath rightly condemned wire tapping as methods of a Soviet police state and got elected to the Senate. More recently he has defended the Justice Department for not prosecuting the Amerasia case because the evidence was obtained by illegal wire tapping and illegal search. On the other side, McGrath finds that a friend and former Senate colleague was chairman of the committee that arranged for tapping the telephone of Howard Hughes, head of Trans World Airline, at a time when that Senator —Brewster of Maine—was busy as a bird dog doing favors for a rival company, Pan American World Airways. Furthermore, a Washington police lieutenant was used to tap Hughes' wires, together with three other Washington cops, exactly duplicating Soviet police-state methods. In the Senate friends are friends, regardless of politics, and kindly ex-Senator McGrath doesn't like to prosecute an old colleague. Report Gathered Dust The amazing thing is that the Justice Department had an offlice, and proceeded to soft-pedal the whole business. Not only did he have no adequate excuses for the fact that his subordinates had hushed up the wire-tap scandal for eight long months, but he didn't appear too enthusiastic about having the Senate investigate. Merry-Go-Round Backstage with the governors—Governor Dewey made an off-the-record prediction at White Sulpher Springs that Governor Lausche (Taft's friend) was sure to be re-elected governor of Ohio. When the election committee was deciding who should be on the committee of five to steer the governor's conference next year, it was pointed out that Lausche's term expired this year. "Put him on anyway," said Dewey, "he's sure to win." . . . Gov. "Big Jim" Folsom of Alabama caused colleagues to suspect he wanted to be ambassador to the Court of St. James' by asking Secretary Acheson how much salary was received by present Ambassador Lou Douglas. "Shouldn't the ambassador be paid enough so the son of any American can hold that job," asked Big Jim. (Folsom used to be doorman at Roxy's theatre in New York.) . . . Broad-gauged Governor Warren of California chided his fellow Republicans, especially cantankerous Bracken Lee of Utah, about turning up their noses at federal funds. "We all like to talk about running thing ouprselves," suggested Warren, "but what would we do without federal funds for good roads and a lot of other things. You and I Know perfectly well we can't finance those projects entirely ourselves." After Secretary Acheson finished speaking, blunt, gruff Governor Jim Duff of Pennsylvania, a Republican progressive, told State Department officials: "I'm old enough so I don't care about my political future. If you have any trouble with McCarthy in Pennsylvania, call on me. I'll help you." . . . In a private talk with Furthermore, a Washington police lieutenant was used to tap Hughes' wires, together with three other Washington cops, exactly duplicating Soviet police-state methods. In the Senate friends are friends, regardless of politics, and kindly ex-Senator McGrath doesn't like to prosecute an old colleague. Report Gathered Dust The amazing thing is that the Justice Department had an official report on these police-state methods from Major Robert Barrett, head of the Washington police, who did not condone them and who made an official investigation after he found that one of his men, Lieut. Joe Shimon, had eavesdropped on the Argentine Ambassador and Nina Lunn, granddaughter of Ex-Senator Wallace White of Maine during a divorce 'scandal.' This led to the further information that Shimon was also eavesdropping for Senator Brewster's committee, and a report was filed with the Justice Department. But the Justice Department, through condemning wire tapping in the Amerasia case, proceeded though condemning wire tapping in the Howard Hughes-Brewster case. Apparently the boys didn't want to tangle with a high-ranking Republican Senator. In fairness to Attorney General McGrath, it should be noted that he knew nothing of the report—until one week ago. The boys below didn't tell him about it. But when he learned the facts, McGrath, the attorney general, did not act like McGrath, the Senatorial candidate in Rhode Island, or like McGrath, the critic of Amerasia wire tapping. Instead he called on Senator Matt Neely of West Virginia, chairman of the District of Columbia committee and who has jurisdiction over Washington po- roads and a lot of other things. You and I know perfectly well we can't finance those projects entirely ourselves." After Secretary Acheson finished speaking, blunt, gruff Governor Jim Duff of Pennsylvania, a Republican progressive, told State Department officials: "I'm old enough so I don't care about my political future. If you have any trouble with McCarthy in Pennsylvania, call on me. I'll help you." . . . In a private talk with Acheson, Dewey was equally sympathetic about McCarthyism. So was Gov. Bonner of Montana, Democrat. "In my state," he said, we have McCarthy's number. We think the state department is doing a good job" . . . Republican governors who asked Acheson helpful questions during the off-record quiz were Dewey, Warren and Driscoll of New Jersey. When the questions got off base, Dewey kept reminding colleagues that Acheson was trying to tell them chiefly about the dangers facing the world. Acheson's backstage diagnosis of the world boiled down to this: "The situation is critical but not hopeless—provided we go ahead with a positive program. If we abandon what we're doing, the situation is lost." . . . New Hampshire's GOP Governor Sherman Adams backed up the man in charge of the state department's loyalty program—Republican General Conrad Snow, also from New Hampshire . . . Dewey reminded the governors that Acheson's adviser was a former Republican governor, John Cooper of Kentucky. Cooper, in reporting to the group, said that he had never worked with a better man than Acheson, that at London, Acheson towered above the other foreign ministers ... Chief questions levelled at Acheson were about U.S. companies hurt by lowered tariff barriers. He answered by citing did not get any place. Right then and there we decided to keep punching at the way our valencias are being handled. From the standpoint of the grower the whole deal is rather pitiful. The fruit is better by far than last year but it is not bringing in the money—for the grower. The runaway market predicted by Mr. Wohlwend of the exchange when he asked for an increase in the prate of a week or so ago, did not materialize. At about the same time he fought, tooth and toenail, the elimination of 344s and smaller from the fresh fruit market. Now at the exchange news letter they are saying that 'this should materially aid in improving the market.' It is going to improve the market now then why was it so bad a couple of weeks ago? Some six months ago this column pointed out that this summer our valencias would receive the full treatment, as far as competition was concerned, from frozen concentrate. We also have pointed out that Florida Mutual, the superco-op, set a floor on the price of all oranges, whether they were to go fresh or be processed: On those which were to be processed the lowest price they were sold for was $2.50 a box, at the cannery. Only a few boxes were ever sold for this figure and these were the lowest grade of packing house rejects. Even the varieties poorly suited for concentrate brought $80 a ton, on the tree, to the grower. That is three cents a pound in our language. Remember that this year some of the better fruit sold for as high as $84 on the tree to the grower. No wonder Florida is having a great year business wise. It was a big laugh to us when Mr. Wohlwend got up in OAC meeting and said he did not wait the school district then goes after an entire new plant complete with all the desirable facilities which go into modern day school planning. Thus districts which never before had even a principal's office are now getting plans approved (to be financed by state money) for administration units, auditoriums, cafeterias, teachers' rest rooms, health rooms and whatever else they can work in. If this policy of spending is to continue, lowest estimates of cost to supply necessary school rooms for the improverished school districts of the state will zoom to a figure of at least one billion dollars. This, without considering the fact that the state does not set the costs on each school unit for which state aid is asked. That is done by the local school board. And notwithstanding that modern school planning is fairly standard, each district that comes before the state for aid presents individual plans. In the case of the state armory program standard plans were designed and followed throughout the state wherever an armory was constructed. No such savings are made in the school program. Hal Boyle (Associated Press Writer) The era of the electronic brain is getting off to an eerie start. The experts are going about it all wrong. I knew they would. They keep turning out machines that will think. That's all right, but that's what the world needs most. It needs a machine with a heart—a sympathy machine. Dorothy Dix (Continued from Page 3) how much in love she was would be mad enough to marry a man who grew green-eyed every time she spake to another man even when he knew it was a matter of business, who demanded that she produce an alibi for every minute of her time and who followed her and snooped on her everywhere she went. MAKE MARRIAGE BAD RISK Any woman with a grain of sense in her head would know that no marriage could be happy that was built on suspicion, and that no husband could be so little desirable as one who even before marriage showed how monopolistic and tyrannical he would be if a woman was once in his power. She would know that marriage would be a hell on earth with a man who believed the worst of her and who did not give her credit for any sense of honor or loyalty or decency. You probably try to persuade her that marriage will kill jealousy and that although now you don't consider her trustworthy you will have perfect faith in her as soon as the marriage ceremony is said over you. Forget it. You will be even more jealous after marriage than you are now, because then you will think she belongs to you and has no right to any personal liberty whatever. If you really love this woman, don't marry her until you have conquered the demon within you. Try to see that the very essence of happiness in marriage is faith. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My husband has always eaten just what he liked regardless of whether it was good for him or not. Now he is ill and the doctors have put him on a diet which cuts Even the varieties poorly suited for concentrate brought $80 a ton, on the tree, to the grower. That is three cents a pound in our language. Remember that this year some of the better fruit sold for as high as $84 on the tree to the grower. No wonder Florida is having a great year business wise. It was a big laugh to us when Mr. Wohlwend got up in OAC meeting and said he did not want to see a 'run-away' market. Our packed fruit 252s and smaller was bringing the grower a net return then of less than 67 cents a box average on the tree. If and when concentrate can be made out of our valencias Minute Maid has an 'escape' clause at $50 a ton, at the packing house, in the Exchange contract. Figure that one out on the tree. When are we going to wake up? SACRAMENTO (WNS)—On the basis of present allocations to distressed school districts it is estimated not more than half of the $250 millions voted by the people to build more classrooms is actually being spent for that purpose. Instead it is being spent to modernize the school plants of these various districts. Either these districts seeking state aid for school construction claim a need for replacement of existing structures by obtaining a report from the state architect showing their existing buildings are unsafe from an earthquake standpoint or a document is submitted contending the buildings are "fire hazards." Once this point has been won and the state has approved a replacement of existing structures, (Associated Press Writer) The era of the electronic brain is getting off to an eerie start. The experts are going about it all wrong. I knew they would. They keep turning out machines that will think. That's all right, but that isn't what the world needs most. It needs a machine with a heart—a sympathy machine. That's why I am less than impressed by the new electronic brain built by the Bureau of Standards for the Air Force. Dr. Edward U. Condon says it is only the forerunner of "machines which (will) relieve men's minds of many routine and fatiguing chores in the same way that the machines of the past have relieved our muscles..." The Air Force's new brain can solve in half an hour a problem that would take a mathematician a month of effort. What is the mathematician going to do now—doodle? Or take up brick laying? It is no great victory for science that it can turn out a machine with built-in answers that can do the ordinary man's thinking for him. Few people today have to use their brains for original thinking more than an hour a month. The rest of the time they act from memory, habit, reflex—or to carry out somebody else's orders. The real problems of modern life aren't mental at all. They're social. People require more consolation, companionship, admiration and relief from boredom. And that is the real test of science—to create an electronic machine that will give them these things. For some time I have had a machine of this type in mind. I call him Euphoria, because he always is cheerful. He operates on AC or DC current, or on his own portable batteries. What can he do? Well, You come home from work all worn out from watching the pretty stenographers ripple past your desk, and there's old Euphoria at the door to greet you. He slaps you on the back and says, "You're a great guy, Mac, a great guy. The world wouldn't be the same without you." Your wife is in a fine mood, too, because Euphoria has been listening to her woes all day, interrupting her only to murmur to any personal liberty whatever. If you really love this woman, don't marry her until you have conquered the demon within you. Try to see that the very essence of happiness in marriage is faith. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My husband has always eaten just what he liked regardless of whether it was good for him or not. Now he is ill and the doctors have put him on a diet which cuts out all of the rich food that he loves and substitutes the things he hates, and he refuses to follow it. I try so hard to prepare food for him in tempting ways, but it makes him cross even to see them. We are so happy that I wonder whether I am making a mistake in trying to make him follow his diet, but my conscience bothers me every time I put a nice rich pie on the table. What is your advice? DEVOTED WIFE ANSWER: You can make the baby eat its loathsome spinach, but you can't force it down the throat of a grown man. So if your husband won't follow the diet the doctor prescribes, there is nothing you can do about it. Certainly you can't nag him into doing it and you only make yourself unpopular by trying to force it on him. I once knew a wife who got her husband to listen to his doctor by telling him that if he was determined to kill himself, to please go on and do it while she was young and good-looking and could marry well. That made him sit up and take notice. FREEDOM AND THE PRESS "It is you who enable the American people to be free, by apprising them of the truth. You provide the stimuli for the thinking of the American people. When you prepare an editorial, you perform a vital function: You cause the average man on the street to pause and consider. It isn't essential that he agree or disagree with your viewpoint; it is important that he think to a conclusion of his own." From Senator Kefauver's speech to the National Editorial Association.
