In an adjoining column of today's Gazette, Drew Pearson writes that the United States won't haul out the atomic bomb at this stage of the Korean war but that Air Force generals are plotting use of the destructive atom if Russia makes the first aggressive A-bomb move. Conversations around the drug store soda fountains, etc., in Anaheim indicate that there is considerable sentiment, in Anaheim at least, to turn loose with the bomb and let 'em have it! From reading the papers, however, we gather that the armed forces, for purely military reasons, takes a dim view of suggestions that use of the A-bombployed at the battle zone, the terrain would pose a stiff problem. The front—like almost all of Korea—is mountainous country, with ridges and valleys cutting across the landscape. The effect of an atomic bomb is drastically reduced by such terrain, as was demonstrated by the wartime attacks on Japan, because the ridges shield areas from the blast. The use of A-bombs against strategic targets—the centers of war production—is deemed equally impractical, simply because there are almost no targets of strategic importance in communist North Korea. but that Air Force generals are plotting use of the destructive atom if Russia makes the first aggressive A-bomb move. Conversations around the drug store soda fountains, etc., in Anaheim indicate that there is considerable sentiment, in Anaheim at least, to turn loose with the bomb and let 'em have it! From reading the papers, however, we gather that the armed forces, for purely military reasons, takes a dim view of suggestions that use of the A-bomb might end the Korean war quickly. Military officials question whether the A-bomb could produce results in Korea—where there are few good targets for a mass destruction weapon — sufficient to justify dipping into the U. S. atomic arsenal, which is necessarily limited in size. Here are their arguments: The Korean fighting is essentially a battle between ground armies, although with air support—and, in the case of our side, with naval support. The A-bomb could conceivably be used against ground forces. But to make profitable such use of a weapon so expensive in terms of material, production man-hours and money would require that there be thousands or tens of thousands of troops concentrated in an area a mile or less in radius. Such concentrations of North Korean troops do not exist. At the front, they are deployed along a rugged line. There are no ports where masses of their men and equipment might pile up. At some points there are rail or highway junctions, but North Korean troops flow through these points rather than congest in large numbers. Even if it were decided to use atomic bombs against forces de- with ridges and valleys cutting across the landscape. The effect of an atomic bomb is drastically reduced by such terrain, as was demonstrated by the wartime attacks on Japan, because the ridges shield areas from the blast. The use of A-bombs against strategic targets—the centers of war production—is deemed equally impractical, simply because there are almost no targets of strategic importance in communist North Korea. One of note is the oil refinery at Wosan, on the east coast. But by the standards of World War II it is not very big. The same is true of the one steel plant in North Korea. For such targets as these, conventional high explosive and incendiary bombs and ship gunfire apparently are considered adequate. Should some bombs be withdrawn from the arsenal and used anyway? That raises the question of how many bombs are available. There never has been any announcement, only indications and unofficial guesses. One of these came from Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was director of the Los Alamos, N. M., laboratory when the first bombs were made. He told a Congressional committee in 1946 that in peacetime 200 bombs could be completed in "maybe a little over a year." By intensive effort, he thought, the United States could "accumulate 1000 bombs" in two years. Perhaps the figure is somewhere between these two estimates. But whether the United States has 200 or 1000 bombs, powers that be feel they must be husbanded for a possible day of dire need should a World War III come. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The following are shipments from the Anaheim railroad depot for the month of July: Merchandise, 90,380 lbs.; Wine 225 bbls.; Wool, 11,480 lbs.; stock 1200 lbs.; Asphaltum, 16,000 lbs.; barley, 2297 sacks; hay 604 bales; corn 1344 sacks. shot at one of the robbers, but missed him. The other robber returned the fire, one shot entering Mr. Fay's mouth, killing him instantly. The robbers have not been apprehended. The funeral will be held in Los Angeles tomorrow. The Denver lodge of Odd Fellows together with the Los Angeles WASHINGTON — There's been no change in the president's behavior against A-bombing in the Korean war, but in order not to caught unprepared, Air Force chiefs are working out all options for future use—just in case they want to be able to retaliate 24 hours after Moscow makes the first agressive move. This means that lists of main bombing targets and atomic bases for launching B-36's must be all set. Chief reason for the Navy's current efficiency is the team work of Admiral Forrest Sheermann and homespun Secretary Maithws. Matthews picked Shawman as the livest admiral in the Navy by reading the Army-Navy unification hearings. His judgment has been fully justified. The pull together perfectly. Senator Margaret Chase Smith Maine bowed out of the Senate wire-tapping probe because she would have to sit in judgment of her fellow-senator from Main Owen Brewster. Since Brewster has been making noises about feating her, Mrs. Smith decide she would be a prejudiced judge and excused herself. Holdback on Hoarders—It was significant that when Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas California proposed an amendment reinstating rent controls cities where rent increased dramatically, not one Republican vote for it. Her amendment was defeated. (Looks like the real estate lobby is still strong) . . . Credits Florida's Dwight Rogers with this crackdown amendment on hoarders which would send them to jail.

The Democratic convention met at 10 a.m. on the fourth instant. Colonel Sanford was elected chairman, J. E. Jackson, secretary. The candidates for nomination for the Assembly were: Fred Lambourn, E. J. C. Kowen, J. R. McConnell and G. L. Russell of Santa Ana. A ballot was had with the following result: Kowen 17, Lambourn 40, McConnell 36, Russell 21. For sheriff, David Alexander 50, J. D. Ott 11. As the Democratic convention failed to accord a legislative nominee to this part of the county, we believe that the people will give Messrs. Hazard and Bailey, the Independent nominees for the assembly, almost a unanimous vote. 50 Years Ago A feeling of profound sorrow was cast upon the community on Monday when it became generally known that Wm. J. Fay, Esq., of this city had been assassinated at the hands of train robbers in Colorado. Mr. and Mrs. Fay had been visiting friends in Denver for several weeks and on Saturday night Mr. Fay left that city for St. Louis. Mrs. Fay was to have left Denver for Anaheim on Monday. The train was held up by two men, several miles west of Hugo, Colo., 90 miles from Denver. The passengers in the Pullman sleepers were robbed of their money and valuables. Mr. Fay refused to surrender his valuables and fired a shot at one of the robbers, but missed him. The other robber returned the fire, one shot entering Mr. Fay's mouth, killing him instantly. The robbers have not been apprehended. The funeral will be held in Los Angeles tomorrow. The Denver lodge of Odd Fellows together with the Los Angeles lodge will have charge of the funeral. Interment will be in Rosedale cemetery. Mrs. Fay is accompanied west by Mrs. Toovey, and will arrive in Los Angeles on the Santa Fe at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. 25 Years Ago That the water levels in Orange county are lowering very rapidly and that the receding level was 17 feet further from the surface last month than it was in the same month of 1924 was disclosed by Fred Ahlborn of Anaheim, chairman of the water conservation committee at the meeting Thursday night of the Associated Chambers of Commerce in San Juan Capistrano. Mr. Ahlborn presented detailed data as to water levels over the period of years between 1907 and July of this year. He pointed out that in the 18 year period the level lowered annually on an average, 3 feet, while the decline for the last two years averaged more than 20 feet per year. "Water conservation is becoming more and more the burning question of the hour in Orange county," he said. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb were in town from Long Beach on Tuesday, calling on friends. Mr. Holcomb has traded his ranch at Chino for an apartment house at Long Beach. He has been recently to El Centro, where he has been engaged by a large financial corporation making loans to farmers. Texas Politics—Young Maverick (his father was the abbot Congressman from Texas and ex mayor of San Antonio) is now running for the Texas legislature in a race which sets a record for gall. Maverick, Jr., is opposed by Frates S. Seeligson, aged 24, scoliosis of one of the wealthiest oil families in Texas. The other day Seeligson, Sr., came to Maverick Sr., and urged that young Maverick withdraw from the race "My boy is wealthy and there fore will be an honest legislator," said the elder Seeligson. "Furthermore your boy will be drafted and my boy won't" . . . Young Maverick refused to budge. He has already served four years in the Marines in the South Pacific and will serve again if needed . . . Meanwhile the Seeligson family is spending an estimated $25,000 to elect its scion, though a lot of veterans are chipping in voluntarily to help young Maverick. Asiatic U.N.

While I know it can not be, I would feel a sense of comfort to have you at my right hand again". . . This should further clinch the idea of having General Romulo go to Korea as part of the U.N. command in order to make Asiatics realize ours is not a white man's imperialistic invasion. Unfortunately this Moscow line is believed in much of the Orient. Under the Dome—Mystery? . . Who put the pressure on Congressman Celler of New York to induce him to call off his long-proposed investigation of Pan American World Airways? . . Out in Illinois, so many Republicans are fed up with the Chicago Tribune's harpooning of the war effort, that they are forming Republican clubs to re-elect Senator Scott Lucas, Democrat . . . If Washington really wanted to show an all-out war effort it would curtail the fancy, plush planes reserved for cabinet officers, the top brass and other VIP's. Most people have forgotten that in War II, Harry Hopkins, Averell Harriman and other dignitaries hopped the Atlantic in bucket seats or in the bomb bays of bombers. FDR himself had no special plane until near the war's end . . . Now not only does Truman have a plane sitting idle, with crew doing nothing; but Secretary Johnson has first lien on the swank "Dew Drop" made for "President" Dewey. There are also 10 plush planes on hand to carry bigwigs around the globe. Their joint carrying capacity would rush a thousand badly needed troops across the Pacific instead of having the taxpayers hire special commercial planes—as at present. Politics and Prima Donnas—Good old Joe Martin, the exspeaker, apparently doesn't believe in the Republican platform. Colony Quips All last winter to the 'end of the shipping season Florida growers were faced with one big problem: will our fruit get so high that we will price ourselves out of the market. They need not have been too concerned because they have moved right in and taken the play away from their chief rival, California. We, on the other hand, have hired hand who control the bulk of our fruit who turn their noses up at any way of selling citrus except in fresh form. The conductor of this colyum does not give a tinker's U-NO how Orange county Valencias are gotten into the hands of consumers—with this understanding: that the grower be returned 50 cents a pound for soluble, solids, net on the tree. This certainly is not too much to to ask. But a mismanaged bureaucracy cannot do. Shall we draw pictures? This year's Valencias are good sized and eat fine. Last year we were told by shippers that our fruit had to get bigger to return money enough to have a little left over for the grower. This year it is larger, but in the Exchange "News Letter" under date of August 2, we find this: "Market is higher in spots on small sizes possibly because of the excellent support the trade is giving small fruit, so much so that large sizes are being neglected in some cases." Now ain't that just too bad— In the years since tha has lived on practically every base in the Pacific and has a dozen or more owners known by name to hunt airmen in the Far East.

Line-of-sight microwaves will be beamed from mountain top to mountain top in the new relay system between the cities, the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph co. announced. Each of two channels will be able to transmit one program at a time. Experts estimate that it costs about three times as much to produce a dramatic program in television as it does in radio. Then the Exchange "News Letter" under date of August 2, we find this: "Market is higher in spots on small sizes possibly because of the excellent support the trade is giving small fruit, so much so that large sizes are being neglected in some cases." Now ain't that just too bad—for the grower, that is.

A check of . . . sales by size . . . reveals low spots due to quality rather than size." That looks like good advice to us. But tell us the answer to this one: when the prorate was on why did Mr. Wohlwend insist on a movement East of at least 1300 to 1400 cars per week? When the market was sagging, the tracks were loaded and oranges were bringing about 60 cents a box over what it cost to handle them. Why did Wohlwend stand up and say we had to keep our shipments high so we could "move the crop" before the November "slump" came on? If he ever saw a better imitation of a slump than we are having now then we would like to see it. And remember that the only oranges being "given away" are those grown in California, the largest percentage being handled by that great co-operative which seeks to "take care" of the grower. Wait until you see your returns. We are afraid there will again be a very sad tale to tell.

Hal Boyle A FIFTH U.S. AIR FORCE BASE IN KOREA (AP)—Leaves from a war reporter's notebook: Moe America's most veteran combat dog, has been retired from the air wars by old age and battle fatigue. The peppery little black and white mongrel has spent six years with the Air Force. He was first picked up in Australia by Lt. Jack Coghlan of Longview, Texas, and later flew 25 combat missions in the Second World War standing in the catwalk of a Douglas Havoc bomber. In the years since then Moe has lived on practically every air base in the Pacific and had half dozen or more owners. He is known by name to hundreds of irmen in the Far East. Since coming to Korea his duties have been strictly limited to ground observation and security patrols. "He won't make any more missions," said his present owner,gt. Daniel Kinney of San Francisco. "He's really got combat fatigue—he shakes all over now every time he goes up a place." While Mr. Waters is on vacation. "Affairs of State" is being written by prominent Californians. Todays column is by Joseph Allen Beck, secretary of the California Senate. Defense Against Subversion By JOSEPH ALLEN BEEK SACRAMENTO (WNS) — The progress which our law enforcement agencies have been making recently in the matter of detection and apprehension of spies, traitors and subversives generally is indeed gratifying but does not answer the problem of subversion. While the various investigating committees, the courts, and the FBI are to be commended for the services they have rendered, we rank and file citizens, owe it to our country to do our part to kill this malignant growth at its roots. There would be no subversive movement in this country if each growing child realized the benefits we enjoy under our Republican form of government and the prosperity which our system of economics has made possible — prosperity for the common man such as has never been known, anywhere in the world, under any system ever devised. Call it free enterprise, or capitalism, as you will. It is the system of common sense and the one which makes it possible... In the years since then Moe was lived on practically every air base in the Pacific and had half a dozen or more owners. He is known by name to hundreds of airmen in the Far East. Since coming to Korea his duties have been strictly limited to ground observation and security patrols. "He won't make any more missions," said his present owner, Sgt. Daniel Kinney of San Francisco. "He's really got combat fatigue—he shakes all over now every time he goes up in a plane." But Moe doesn't like war on the ground much better. The soldiers sometimes tease him by pointing their carbines at him. Each time Moe barks worriedly until the gun is put away. Moe wears Sgt. Kenney's dog tags and there is a deep and real attachment between them. At theergeant's command Moe will sit up, roll over, shake hands, speak or retrieve anything from a rock to a baseball bat. His greatest enemy is a tattered stuffed monkey that hangs from a wall and bears the sign "specialists on gorilla warfare." For some reason Moe developed a frantic hate for the silent monkey leering down at him. Several times a day he comes into the office just to bark at it. "But if that monkey ever came enticed and fell on him," grinned Kinney, "old Moe probably couldn't quit running until he reached Japan." The Korean war has upset the lives of many people. But I think so. Richard Whitson of Rockport, Ill., had the most unusual objection to it. Sitting in a tent and looking out across a rainswept field at time T-6 air control planes he helps service, Whitson said dryly: "I am supposed to get discharge next week. And this darn war is got us so busy I can't even get a three-day pass to go to Japan and re-enlist." A Mustang pilot dived so low at the enemy tank the other day that huge fragment of a rocket he held the tank with rebounded and lodged in his own gas tank. The slender dark-haired flyer, down to his last drop of fuel, made a perfect emergency landing here. Climbing out he took one look at the damaged tank and said cooly, "that's all for this ship" then he strolled away hitchhike a ride back to his own base. Staff Sgt. Micheal Sparks of Louis, whistled in surprise as inspected the plane. movement in this country if each growing child realized the benefits we enjoy under our Republican form of government and the prosperity which our system of economics has made possible — prosperity for the common man such as has never been known, anywhere in the world, under any system ever devised.
