The bridal march is leading the hit parade again, thanks to the Korean war. Industries who outfit the bridal party and the newlywed's apartments report a big boom in the last four weeks. Stores throughout the country say they are being swamped with wedding dress orders. The wedding ring trade is way up—part of it due to a revival of the popularity of the doubling ceremony. And the price of engagement diamonds has gone up, too, some ring merchants report. Silverware makers say they've never known such a boom, as the wedding iterations—otherwise in two days. But for a large wedding with several bridesmaids it will take about four weeks. At the trade show of the American National Retailer Jewelers Association in New York this week a leading maker of rings—W. Waters Scwab, president of J. R. Wood & Sons—said a noticeable step-up in demand for engagement and wedding rings followed the outbreak of war in Korea. A diamond importer—Alexander E. Arnstein, of Arnstein Brothers & Co.—said the Korean war had raised the price of smaller rough diamonds by 10 percent. Finished IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago An entertainment will be given at Enterprise hall on next Thursday evening for the benefit of the Presbyterian church. Music readings, etc., will be given during the evening and refreshments will be in abundance. Harry D. Polhemus and family have gone to the seaside for a few days. We hope they may be benefitted by change of air. P. C. McKinnie is making a number of benches and a blackboard for the Anabeim schools. A. Langenberger has received a letter from the Pacific Mail Shipping company, in which they state that their Panama steamers will hereafter stop at Anaheim Landing if they are guaranteed 75 or more miles report a big boom in the last four weeks. Stores throughout the country say they are being swamped with wedding dress orders. The wedding ring trade is way up—part of it due to a revival of the popularity of the doubling ceremony. And the price of engagement diamonds has gone up, too, some ring merchants report. Silverware makers say they've never known such a boom, as the wedding guests flock to buy presents. The rush to the middle aisle started when couples who had been planning fall weddings advanced the dates. Prospects of draft calls, and the early calling up of National Guardsmen and reservists, sent many couples to the wedding license bureaus. War, and the threat of war, always boosts the marriage rate. Department stores around the country report their bridal shops doing the most active business in several years. One big New York store says it had to turn away about 200 customers last week because they wanted bridal parties outfitted on too short notice. Another New York store advertises it can still furnish wedding gowns for immediate delivery if the customer doesn't ask for al- At the trade show of the American National Retailer Jewelers Association in New York this week a leading maker of rings—W. Waters Scwab, president of J. R. Wood & Sons—said a noticeable step-up in demand for engagement and wedding rings followed the outbreak of war in Korea. A diamond importer—Alexander E. Arnstein, of Arnstein Brothers & Co.—said the Korean war had raised the price of smaller rough diamonds by 10 per cent. Finished diamonds up to one-quarter carat have gone up about 20 per cent, and large finished stones by 10 to 15 per cent, he said. Sales are brisk, he says. Part of it is bridal business, part the sale to turn to diamond buying as an investment during wartime. The price of pearls has gone up about 10 per cent, largely because of the war along the shores of the Sea of Japan where many pearls are cultured, according to David Goldstone, vice-president of Imperial Pearls, Inc., Retail sales of pearls have advanced sharply since the war, he said. And furniture stores report that August is proving to be one of their biggest sales months. Ah yes, more brides, more families, more homes. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 25 Years Ago Miss Lucy Kraemer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Kraemer of Placentia and Guy O. Brunet, an employee of the First National Bank of this city, were married at St. Mary's church, Fullerton, on Tuesday last. Rev. Father Murphy of Fullerton performed the ceremony. Miss Louise Kraemer, sister of the bride acted as bridesmaid and John Brunet, brother of the groom, supported him. Over a hundred friends witnessed the ceremony in the church. Miss Geraldine Dolan played The Lohengrin wedding march. Mrs. J. J. Farley sang "O Salutaris," "Ave Maria" and "Bene's Jesu."

J. Pay, late president of the club. The resolutions were signed by M. L. Rogers, J. P. Zeyn, F. A. Korn, G. A. Hunter and J. B. Rae. The members of Co. E engaged in target practice on Sunday afternoon at the range on the Pomona road north of Fullerton. The target was placed at 100 and 150 yards distance. The shooting was excellent, upwards of 70 per cent of hits being scored. Members of the board of City Trustees met Tuesday evening with Trustee Helmsen in the chair. Trustees Dickel, Schwenckert, Schneider and Weisel met as a board of Equalization and fixed the tax levy $1.30 on the $100 of valuation. The total valuation of all city property exclusive of railroads amounts to $544,005. The railroads last year were assessed $19,030. City Clerk Merritt said yesterday that the total valuation of all property in the city had increased $20,000 over last year. Henry Shrodthoff came up from Jerome, Arizona, one day last week for a short visit with relatives and friends. He returned yesterday to his home in the territory. Over a hundred friends witnessed the ceremony in the church. Miss Geraldine Dolan played The Lobengrin wedding march. Mrs. J. J. Farley sang "O Salutaris," "Ave Maria" and "Bene's Jesu." A wedding breakfast at the Benjamin Kraemer home followed the ceremony guests including only members of the immediate families. Upon their return from a honey-moon trip to San Francisco and other northern points, Mr. and Mrs. Brunet will receive their friends in their own home, a charming residence on Clementine street, which Mr. Brunet has prepared for his bride. Miss Marie Robertson, who has been enjoying a vacation in the Yosemite National Park, has returned and resumed her duties at the office of Dr. J. W. Truxaw. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Ward visited with friends in town this week, the former coming up from Mazathan and the latter from Fontana. Mr. Ward expects to remain here permanently. We are always delighted to meet this worthy English couple. They read the Gazette and enjoy a visit to Anaheim. WASHINGTON — Right-wing Republicans and Dixiecrats are secretly plotting a political alliance to capture control of Congress by 1952, then to take over the Electoral College—key to the presidency. We have documentary proof of this daring plan, which already has the secret backing of nationally known conservatives. In brief, the plans calls for Republicans and Southern Democrats to join forces without changing SUCH SWEET SADNESS DEWITORE SCHEDULE NONESSENTIAL SPENDING days and nights in that make for a calendar of his out of a buddy, a letter a trip back to the maybe, if they are prise steak dinner of cans of cold beer their night's sleep doubly relaxing.

Martin." party affiliations. However, they would merge their seniority and run Congress jointly. Then the next step would be to organize a similar coalition to dominate the Electoral College and name a conservative president. The ringleader of this amazing plot is a stocky, ruddy-faced North Carolinian, named J. Harvie Williams. Though comparatively unknown, he claims to have the support of such GOP leaders as Senators Karl Mundt of South Dakota and Join Bricker of Ohio, Congressman Charlie Halleck of Indiana and Frederic Coudert of New York; also such southern stalwarts as Senators Harry Byrd of Virginia and Dick Russell of Georgia, Congressman Gene Cox of Georgia, and Dixiecrat Governor-elect James F. Byrnes of South Carolina. Painstaking Plan Williams has set forth his so-called “political realignment” plan in painstaking detail in a series of “strictly confidential” memos, which are also marked: “Please do not discuss outside sympathetic circles.” “Our plan for political realignment is a simple one,” he writes. “It involves nothing more than a formal alliance between Republicans and Southern Democrats in the Senate, in the House and in the Electoral College.” If the 64 Senators in the Republican-Southern bloc, Williams calculates that three Southerners and seven Republicans Senators would refuse to join the alliance. This would still leave a majority of 54 seats to 42. In the House, he expects to lose 21 Republicans and 13 Southerners, giving the coalition control of the House by a 240-195 margin. Williams explains: “In effect, this realignment would create a new party, but without the necessity of any change of party names. Alignment proposal in shape for presentation to a group for substantial financial support (about $200,00 for a one year budget). Harold E. Talbot has agreed to arrange that meeting. The two things are required by Southern Senate leaders. They are: (1) A rather detailed plan for the joint nomination in 1952, and (2)) A merging on paper of committee seniorities of Republicans and Southern Democrats.” SECRET POLL Jimmy Roosevelt, now running for Governor of California, is frustrated over a secret public opinion poll he took the other day. It revealed that 30 per cent of California’s Democrats think Jimmy’s opponent, Governor Warren G. a Democrat. When asked about the poll, Roosevelt grinned: “I don’t want to run a smear campaign, but I’m determined to expose Warren’s affiliation with the Republican party!” Colony Quips Let's keep remembering some things when we think of the orange business and one of the first is that the Florida grower hit the greatest vein of gold this past season it has been his good fortune to find. But wait—it was not good fortune, it was good planning and execution under the unselfish leadship and management of growers who went out to do good for all. Their industry was sick. (What would you call ours? Wait till the returns come) any existing agencies, whether public or private. Mutual has contributed greatly to resolving industry differences. It can do this objectively for it always holds the good of the grower first. This is roughly the way the Florida grower looks at Mutual. He has had a taste of what organization can do for him. He is going to stick to Mutual. By some very reliable inside information out of Florida we can tell you today that Mutual is stronger today than ever. The reason for their success, to our mind, is bound up in a statement made at the end of a letter to this writer: “We will be glad to share experiences and information with any others who are working for and on behalf of the growers.” Does that sound like the antics of California so-called leaders who try to get Florida buyers off in a corner so they can sell growers fruit “cheaper” and keep the business away from some other growers group which wants at least 50 cents a pound for soluble solids to return to their growers. Or do you remember about Mr. Wilcox and his “good contract” with Minute Maid? It was a “good contract” for Mr. Fox of Minute Maid. He said he got “cheaper” fruit from the Exchange. He said it again and again. Our only question is this: Was it a “good contract” for the Exchange grower. “Cheaper” fruit brings him less money. Does Mr. Wilcox realize this? Or is he merely interested in moving the crop? Florida growers got $2.75 for all fruit grown down there last year. That includes everything. Even the poor varieties. For his decent fruit which would make good concentrate, Valencias, pineapples and the like, he received over three cents a Williams explains: "In effect, this realignment would create a new party, but without the necessity of any change of party names. This realignment is legally possible now. The rules of the Senate and the rules of the House speak of the majority and of the minority rather than of Democrats and Republicans; and members of Congress are elected under the election laws of the 48 states. "Similarly," he continues, "presidential electors are elected under the laws of the several states. The 1948 'secession' of the Democratic parties in four Southern states indicates the method and the possibilities of extending realignment into the election of the president." Front Organization Williams has already formed a "front" organization to carry out his plan. He calls it the Citizens Political committee, though he admits frankly "It's title does not disclose is purpose." Williams uses the Remington Rand Company, room 1200, 314 Fourth Ave., New York City as a headquarters—though he is not now on Remington Rand's payroll. In a private letter, dated May 13, Williams names ex-Senator Albert Hawks of New Jersey as the leading money raiser. "Senator Hawkes has agreed to handle that (money raising) for us." Williams writes. "It am not going to initiate any new prospects, and have turned over to Hawkes the names of the men he knows whom I've seen or corresponded with on the subject." In another letter, dated May 1, Williams also writes: Two things need to be done to put the re- Let's keep remembering some things when we think of the orange business and one of the first is that the Florida grower hit the greatest vein of gold this past season it has been his good fortune to find. But wait—it was not good fortune, it was good planning and execution under the unselfish leadership and management of growers who went out to do good for all. Their industry was sick. (What would you call ours? Wait till the returns come.) The Florida growers sat down and searched their souls. They were not interested in what packing house a man shipped his fruit through. They did not spend their growers money to urge other growers to join their organization. They did not belittle processing plants belonging to others. They did not seek to grab growers by propagandizing them with other growers money, by making statements which would not quite stand up under close scrutiny. They looked their problem straight in the eye. They acted in a humble manner for the good of every Florida grower. Would that we could find some leaders big enough to admit their shortcomings. You have guessed, by now, that we are again talking about Florida Mutual. It was born of adversity and necessity. Last fall the Florida deal was near chaos and it was Mutual's positive actions that turned the tide. It was the spark that put confidence into the industry, created stability and made possible the true play of competitive forces with resultant price levels that reflected the real value of the crop. The last two sentences are almost exact quotes from A. V. Saurman, president of Mutual. The way in which Mutual works is a new idea in grower influence on the disposition of production. Mutual's place in the industry is unique. It neither is a substitute for, nor competitive to, Our only question is this: Was it a "good contract" for the Exchange grower. "Cheaper" fruit brings him less money. Does Mr. Wilcox realize this? Or is he merely interested in moving the crop? Florida growers got $2.75 for all fruit grown down there last year. That includes everything. Even the poor varieties. For his decent fruit which would make good concentrate, Valencias, pineapples and the like, he received over three cents a pound, net on the tree. But California oranges are a vastly different story. There is no confidence in the industry and no stability. The grower is in a sad state. We are moving the crop and moving the grower right off his land. This last is the thing that makes us get hot under the collar. Hal Boyle NAKTONG River Front, Korea, U.S.-How does a patrol scout feel while operating behind enemy lines? "Worried," said Sgt. Carl D. Martin of Seagoville, Tex. That pretty well sums up the attitude of most of the quiet heroes who have been slipping across the Naktong river to gather information on North Korean troop movements. To Martin, member of the 5th Cavalry regiment's reconnaissance platoon, his assignment is just another odd job to do for the Army he has served in eight years. He had made three trips over the river when I talked to him recently—two by night and one in full daylight. "I just don't remember the exact date," he said a little wearily. After men have been at the front for a while they no longer measure time so much by days and nights as by events that make for each separate calendar of his own—the death of a buddy, a letter from home, a trip back to the rear where maybe, if they are lucky, a surprise steak dinner and a couple of cans of cold beer may make their night's sleep out of danger doubly relaxing. As the dust-covered sergeant talked of the platoon’s patrol sorties several of his men were bating in a creek under a tree that shielded them from the harsh sun. An expression almost of tenderness came over Martin’s face as he watched them shouting and laughing like schoolboys. “You know some of those kids are awful young,” he said. “But they have stood up something wonderful under this work.” “We are supposed to be going only on recon missions and not to look for fire-fight. But they usually turn out to be common patrols. Once you get across that river you can’t call the police if you get into trouble. And there aren’t any traffic cops to give you the greecen light or the red light.” On that first trip the platoon went alone and went six miles beyond the heavily-guarded river line. Each man carried only a cartridge belt, a couple of ban-colliers of ammo and minimum field rations. They took turns packing the four radios they brought along to report their progress back to headquarters. The radios weigh 32 pounds each. “Since then we have operated with the South Koreans,” said Sgt. Martin. “They’re very good ed themselves as resigned to that fate. For the most part these opinions are based upon the current gravity of world affairs, highlighted by the Korean war. The political leaders feel state affairs are overshadowed by national and world events. The uncertainties are expected to favor the incumbents and the conservatives. With respect to the gubernatorial race, Roosevelt’s stock went on the decline following the primary elections when Warren received a plurality of almost 800,000 votes. But Jimmy Roosevelt, like Harry Truman in 1948, is his own best supporter. Despite the apparent overwhelming odds, Jimmy remains confident. With the same dogged determination shown by Truman, Jimmy has predicted he will win in November. Only time will provide the correct answer. To staff a 24-hour-duty station, the modern hospital must employ five separate persons for each such station. LEGAL NOTICES (Pub. Anaheim Gazette Aug. 3, 10, 17 and 24, 1950.)

On that first trip the platoon went alone and went six miles beyond the heavily-guarded river line. Each man carried only a cartridge belt, a couple of bancoliers of ammo and minimum field rations. They took turns packing the four radios they brought along to report their progress back to headquarters. The radios weigh 32 pounds each. "Since then we have operated with the South Koreans," said Sgt. Martin. "They're very good soldiers. We go over by boats after sending a few men across first to scout the landing area." That is an eerie and lonely night mission. And it always holds the possibility that the men may become separated, get confused and begin shooting at each other in the darkness. Such a mistap is made more likely because the Americans mingle with the South Korean troops who speak the same language as the enemy and are therefore hard to distinguish in a post-midnight march. "But the real fire-fight we were in was Tuesday when we went across in daylight," said Martin. "We were after prisoners and we grabbed six. One was a messenger on the beach who said 18 other North Korean soldiers were sleeping near there." "We found five. But then the South Koreans with us said there were about 180 enemy on our right and 300 others on our left. They began hitting at us with machineguns and mortars." Martin praised the leadership of the platoon commander under whose orders they fought a skillful withdrawal 2000 yards to the river, which some crossed by swimming and others in engineer's boats. But they brought back their prisoners—which had been their assignment. The casualties were one American and four South Korean dead. Two of the South Koreans were lost by drowning. Pvt. Wilfred Robindoux of North Adams, Mass., risked his own life in a futile try to rescue them. LEGAL NOTICES (Pub. Anaheim Gazette, Aug. 17, 24, 31 and Sept. 7, 1950.)

WATERS SACRAMENTO (WNS) — The high confidence noted among the Republicans during recent conventions here contrasted by a certain amount of defeatism on the part of the Democrats is remindful of the pre-election period of 1948. So self-assured were the Republicans then that presidential nominee Thomas E. Dewey was indulging in discussions of the various cabinet appointments he intended to make. At the same time many of the Democratic leaders had accepted defeat as inevitable and were merely giving lip-service to the campaign. The situation in connection with the present campaigns is not markedly different, excepting in the case of the race for attorney general between Edward Shattuck, former GOP chairman, and Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, the Democratic nominee. The Democrats feel they have a winner with "Pat" Brown while Republicans privately concur. There appears to be a division of opinion with respect to the Senatorial race between Republican Congressman Richard M. Nixon and Democratic Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas, but the heaviest sentiment expressed on both sides is that Nixon will win. But on the question of Governor Earl Warren's race with Democratic nominee James Roosevelt the confidence of the Republicans is only equalled by the defeatism of the Democrats. The Republicans are also confident they will maintain a majority in both houses of the legislature and the Democrats express-
