THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher WILLARD GREGORY City and Sports Editor HOWARD HALL News Editor MYLES BRADLEY Picture Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Inductees: check your vet's benefits— A group of Anaheim young men about to be inducted into the Army came into the Gazette office late last week and asked us if we could tell them what they could expect under the GI Bill for their Army service. None of these men had served in the military forces during World War II. Consequently, government benefits for them would have to be based on "Korean war service." For men who volunteer or are drafted into the Armed Forces now, there are a number of veterans' benefits but not all the benefits which World War II veterans' got. or convert it to a permanent policy. 2. Disability pay. He gets compensation from the government if he's disabled by sickness, injury or wounds, but since this is considered peacetime, the amount of compensation would differ according to the place and circumstances of his sickness, injury or wounds. For example: If he were in an area of hostilities—meaning Korea right now—and was totally disabled, he'd receive $150 a month, or the full wartime compensation. If he were totally disabled by an army truck accident in this country, his total disability pay None of these men had served in the military forces during World War II. Consequently, government benefits for them would have to be based on "Korean war service." For men who volunteer or are drafted into the Armed Forces now, there are a number of veterans' benefits but not all the benefits which World War II veterans' got. For example: No one who joined the Army, Navy or Air Force after July 25, 1948—even those now fighting in Korea—can get these benefits which World War II veterans got: 1. Loans on a home, business or farm guaranteed by the Veterans Administration; 2, schooling at government expense; and, 3, unemployment pay which ran $20 a week for a maximum of 52 weeks for unemployed veterans of the last war. Still, men in the fighting in Korea, when it's over, will have been truly veterans exposed to as much death and danger as those who served at home or abroad during World War II. Congress will have to decide whether to restore World War II benefits for the veterans of Korea, or those who go into the Armed Forces now but may serve at home. Under the present system, these are the veterans benefits for a man who entered the Armed Forces since July 25, 1948: 1. Government insurance, called National Service Life Insurance. He can get up to $10,000 worth. He buys it at so much a thousand, depending on his age. It's term insurance. For example: A man of 21 pays 65 cents a month for each $1000 of insurance up to the $10,000 limit. If he dies in service, the insurance goes to his survivors. If he leaves the service, he can continue the policy at the same rate IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago David Davis and Richard Barham are the latest aspirants for the office of constable, their announcement appearing for the Route No. 2 extends east as far as Tucker’s Corner, thence west to West Anaheim, to Brookshurst and extending about eight miles west of Anaheim. Total length of route. He's disabled by sickness, injury or wounds, but since this is considered peacetime, the amount of compensation would differ according to the place and circumstances of his sickness, injury or wounds. For example: If he were in an area of hostilities—meaning Korea right now—and was totally disabled, he'd receive $150 a month, or the full wartime compensation. If he were totally disabled by an army truck accident in this country, his total disability pay would be only 80 per cent of what it would have been if the accident had happened in Korea. There's extra disability allowance for blindness, or loss of a limb. 3. Job rights. When a man drafted now gets out of the service, his employer must give him back his job. 4. Hospitalization. A man who volunteers or is drafted now can, when he gets out, receive hospital treatment at Veterans Hospitals. If he needs emergency treatment—whether his trouble is connected with his military service or non-connected—he can get it at once. And—there is always a bed for a man with a service-connected disability, whether emergency or not. A veteran with a non-service-connected disability, who is not an emergency case, can get a bed when there's one available for him. But this is true only for war veterans, which means: Some of the men fighting in Korea went into the Army since July 25, 1948. They are in hostilities. When they become veterans and have a non-service-connected disability, they can-get a hospital bed. But— Suppose you're drafted now and serve 21 months in this country, are discharged, and later develop a non-service-connected disability. You can't get a VA hospital bed. Why? You're not a war veteran, or a veteran of hostilities. Writing as a private citizen former first lady suggested Truman might have qualified by saying he would keep J.A.Cheson "as long as he a good job." She pointed out every president occasionally it necessary to make change his cabinet and it isn't a go to "freeze" a man in an imposition. Injecting a more personal Mrs. Roosevelt wrote that she apparent to her from the trouous volume of anti-Johnson she was receiving that they had lost confidence in the tary of defense. In view of sentiment and in the international defense, she sufficially that Johnson should placed.

Davis has filled the position for several terms. His success in the pursuit and capture of criminals is well known, and his services will, no doubt, be rewarded by the votes of the people on election day. Mr. Barham is a genial, whole-souled gentleman who will be hard to beat. The Democratic county central committee was organized as follows: E. E. Hewitt, chairman; G. H. Smith, secretary; A. C.

These have not yet been appointed. Low on Sugar This won’t be pleasant to the G.I.’s in Korea, but the folks’ sweet-tooth appears stronger than their patriotism spite of the appeals against ing, the nation’s sugar stock critically low. The agriculture department commodity boss, Ralph Candidly admitted this the day, testifying behind doors of the Senate Banking mittee. “Regardless of how you cloth, there is no sugar avail Trigg reported flatly. “Nothing has changed that the sugar is in the pockets throughout this tion,” suggested Indiana’s Senator Homer Capehart, consumption has not increased is hoarding that has done this. “That is true,” agreed “You will not inirease the sumption per person a greedy . . . But there is no sugar able for a great many people are unable to get it at the stores.” Note—In the hope that opinion may still sham hoarders and profiteers, we been urging patriotic Amends to organize “home front” committees and to campaign through local press, radio and civic against war greed. Rough Going-Over Jack Redding got a thrilling over behind closed doors after the Senate confirm appointment as assistant governor general. At one point Sen Bill N.

Mrs. Roosevelt expressed her news last week in a confidential letter to the president, following a categorical statement that he would keep Secretary of State Acheson in his cabinet as long as remains in the White House. Writing as a private citizen, the former first lady suggested that human might have qualified this saying he would keep Johnson and Acheson “as long as they do good job.” She pointed out that every president occasionally finds necessary to make changes in the cabinet and it isn’t a good idea “freeze” a man in an important position. Injecting a more personal note, Mrs. Roosevelt wrote that it was parent to her from the tremendous volume of anti-Johnson mail he was receiving that the public had lost confidence in the secretary of defense. In view of this settlement and in the interests of national defense, she suggested only that Johnson should be reduced. Low on Sugar This won’t be pleasant news to G.I.’s in Korea, but the home kicks sweet-tooth appears to be longer than their patriotism. In spite of the appeals against hoarding, the nation’s sugar stocks are critically low. The agriculture department’s commodity boss, Ralph Trigg, Zales Ecton, Montana Republican. Economy Cut President Truman won’t take the proposed 10 per cent, across-the-board slash in government spending with his bat on his shoulder. At a recent meeting with federal agency chiefs, Truman strongly indicated that he might send a special message to Congress if the two Houses don’t reconsider the 10 per cent reduction. “This so-called ‘economy’ cut is one way to destroy government agencies without outright abolition,” declared the president. “You can cripple an agency so badly by chopping off its personnel, that it cannot do the job. This is a grave situation.” “It’s all the graver in wartime,” broke in federal communications chairman Wayne Coy. He explained that his agency was engaged in top-secret projects, vital to the war effort. “We can not do the job right if we are deprived of key personnel,” he added. “The same applies to my agency,” broke in Thomas Buchanan, acting chairman of the federal power commission. “The FPC must seet to it that our war plants have enough gas and electric power to keep them going. We must establish a balance between consumer and war use of fuels and power.” Buchanan pointed out that government departments, like agriculture and interior, might be able to withstand the 10 per cent cut by spending less on “construction contracts,” such as road-building and reclamation projects. But regulatory agencies, like FPC, would be dangerously crippled, he said. “I would like to get a memo from all agencies that will be crippled by the 10 per cent reduction,” Truman finally decided. “We’ve got to do something about it—right away.” Colony Quips Last fail, with the valencia deal pretty sour, a big piece of news flashed across the citrus picture in northern Orange county. The Eadington Fruit Company, representing some three per cent in itself of the entire valencia industry, pulled out of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. One of the largest valencia packers in the state had sought to handle their own by-products fruit but had been told that it would have to go to the Exchange Orange Products plant in Ontario. The Eadingtons wanted no part of the EOP because of the small percentage of profitable products it was equipped to put up and its general reputation in the trade. They withdrew in gentlemanly fashion and said they thought it would be much better for their growers if they put up their own frozen concentrate plant. They sought to can as big a percentage as would benefit their growers. It was a big step and it took courage. All pioneering takes courage in large chunks. Especially if you have to do your own financing. Immediately a rash of “experienced Exchange men” were out in the field telling Eadington growers what they should do. All at the expense of Exchange growers. But Edington growers, and a lot of new ones, thought it was a good idea and the “experienced men” just got experience—and a salary. Tom Eadington told this writer, at the time the “heat” was on the Low on Sugar This won't be pleasant news to the G.I.'s in Korea, but the home cooks' sweet-tooth appears to be longer than their patriotism. In spite of the appeals against noarding, the nation's sugar stocks are critically low. The agriculture department's immodity boss, Ralph Trigg, indidly admitted this the other day, testifying behind closed doors of the Senate Banking Committee. "Regardless of how you cut the牙, there is no sugar available," Egg reported flatly. Nothing has changed except that the sugar is in the pantries the folks throughout the nation," suggested Indiana's GOP senator Homer Capehart. "The assumption has not increased. It boarding that has done this." "That is true," agreed Trigg. You will not inirease the consumption per person a great deal. But there is no sugar available for a great many people who are unable to get it at the retail stores." Note—In the hope that public union may still shame the carders and profiteers, we have been urging patriotic Americans organize "home front" committees and to campaign through the real press, radio and civic groups against war greed. Rough Going-Over Jack Redding got a thorough ring-over behind closed doors. More the Senate confirmed his pointment as assistant postmaster-general. At one point, Sen. Bill Langer, with Dakato Republican, noted that Redding claimed to be a writer of fiction." Yes, he was director of puberty for the Democratic National committee," dryly remarked Sen. Nations is still troubling communists leaders, judging by their propaganda efforts to conceal the fact that Americans are fighting in Korea under the U.N. flag. No reference is ever made to United Nations authorization of American action in Korea. Despite careful censorship, reports are trickling through the iron curtain that communist officials must resort to desperate measures to make labor toe the mark. For example, in Rumania, a recent law has made "illegal appropriation and negligence at work" punishable by the death penalty. Immediately a rash of "experienced Exchange men" were out in the field telling Eadington growers what they should do. All at the expense of Exchange growers. But Eedington growers, and a lot of new ones, thought it was a good idea and the "experienced men" just got experience—and a salary. Tom Eadington told this writer, at the time the "heat" was on the strongest that he would either be a savior or a bum inside of a year. Amid a cloud of rumors and propaganda, work on the new plant went ahead. Eadington was shown up as a prizebum by the paid emissary's of groups also in the orange business. It was pointed out that the plant was just no good. It had no facilities to market the squeal out of an orange. When the fallacy of this was pointed out another question was dreamed up: "Must you leave part of your return with the owner or the plant as his profit, or will it all come to you?" When it was shown that the only charge against running the growers fruit through the conspirators is still troubling communities leaders, judging by their propaganda efforts to conceal the fact that Americans are fighting in Korea under the U.N. flag. No reference is ever made to United Nations authorization of American action in Korea. Despite careful censorship, reports are trickling through the iron curtain that communist officials must resort to desperate measures to make labor toe the mark. For example, in Rumania, a recent law has made "illegal appropriation and negligence at work" punishable by the death penalty. Respondent has to do pen so often that he makes a correspondent ed. Many and many Infantryman will say to him who comes up to write of men under fire: "You're crazy. You come up here when you dered to? Look! Be in the hell out of here." But if you hang are while with them under artillery fire and still hell out of there they for it. And they remain as an old friend they are in combat or not become one of them be shared their danger. Have to tell them when went on to share data another outfit or not part of them forever. For some reason this a feeling of guilt at you have come back passes for a comfortable wartime and have fired writing for the day. You go out on a smash and see the light of day and hear their far-off few trigger-happy rearers troops send up tracer fire and someone the front says: "Look! Lightning buoy And some more correspondent says: "Yeah, 50-calliber fire-It's all so beautiful are out of range. It is the Fourth of July bad flashes are born in the darkness and the in shells hang like the St lehem in the sky for moments and then die horizon. Oh, it feels so good and so far away from you don't think that you will be up in the front again yourself. You just think that ought to write a letter." centrator was merely the cost the grower had to pay for hauling his fruit into another county the tune changed. How dumb do some people think growers are, anyway? But at last the plant was completed. It was a beauty. From the point of view of Anaheim it is the best plant we know of outside of our own. Right today the plant is in full operation, going strong and doing a service for the valencia growers of Orange county. Any plant that is a potential user of valencia oranges is of benefit to the valencia grower. Any user is of benefit. The exception is the shipper, processor or what have you ww, will take a growers fruit and sell it cheaper than another organization will its growers fruit. That breaks the whole thing down from the growers point of view. But anyway, Golden Citrus Juices Inc., is a going concern putting out profitable products in a way to keep the grower in business. The hurdle it has to jump right now is how to fill their orders. Orders are piling in and there may not be enough fruit to fill them. But go and see for yourself. All this week Golden Citrus Juice will hold open house and the welcome mat will be out. From Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. you and your family will be taken on a tour of inspection through the plant. It is certainly worth seeing. But go and see for yourself.

Hal Boyle KOREA, (P)—It is night and you are miles behind you own line. You may have gone up to the front and been scared during the day, but that was earlier. You have come home to the tapwater from an Army disappoved shower to wash away the road dust that feels an inch deep on your skin. You have got back in time to eat a meal. Or you may be forced to try to digest something out of a can you have stuffed under a bunk or persistent as the mosquitoes or persistent as the mosquitos are buzzing around to dagger you, you are among the fortunate ones of the Korean war. You at least generally sleep free from danger. This is the great advantage a correspondent has over any one group of Doughboys. They had to stay and take it—and he comes up for a visit and then gets the hell out of there. The disadvantage of the reporter is that he has to go up each day to the place where the battle activity is highest, or at least he does many days if he has a conscience. So if you total up his exposure to "the million dollar wound"—the one that sends him home with four limbs and a head—he at least gets and admiring understanding of the average combat infantryman. And he gets an extra bonus—an understanding on the part of the Doughboy of the job a correspondent has to do. This happens so often that it usually makes a correspondent feel ashamed. Many and many a time an Infantryman will say to a reporter who comes up to write the story of men under fire: "You're crazy. You mean you come up here when you ain't ordered to? Look! Be smart! Get the hell out of here." But if you hang around for a while with them under mortar or artillery fire and still get the hell out of there like you meet physical standards, you may qualify for a job as a state traffic officer, the California Highway Patrol announced. The need is urgent and the position is under state civil service. It was said. Many highway patrolmen are being lost to the Armed Forces and the Patrol is endeavoring to build up a list of eligible candidates. Final date for filing applications is Sept. 8. They may be obtained at any local department of employment office or the state personnel board's offices in Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Francisco. A written examination will be held Oct. 7 at places to be announced. Trade In Anahlm HIT N' RUN "GO HOME AND GET MY ELECTRIC MIXER" respondent has to do. This happens so often that it usually makes a correspondent feel ashamed. Many and many a time an Infantryman will say to a reporter who comes up to write the story of men under fire: "You're crazy. You mean you come up here when you ain't ordered to? Look! Be smart! Get the hell out of here." But if you hang around for a while with them under mortar or artillery fire and still get the hell out of there they like you for it. And they remember you as an old friend the next time you visit them—whether they are in combat or not. You have become one of them because you shared their danger. You don't have to tell them whether you went on to share danger with another outfit or not. You are part of them forever. For some reason this gives you a feeling of guilt at night after you have come back to what passes for a comfortable billet in wartime and have finished your writing for the day. You go out on a small balcony and see the light of distant guns and hear their far-off rumble. A few trigger-happy rear headquarters troops send up some red tracer fire and someone new to the front says: "Look! Lightning bugs!" And some more experienced correspondent says: "Yeah, 50-caliber fire-flies!" It's all so beautiful when you are out of range. It looks like the Fourth of July back home as the flashes are born and die in the darkness and the illuminating shells hang like the Star of Bethlehem in the sky for a few moments and then die below the horizon. Oh, it feels so good to be alive and so far away from it then. You don't think that tomorrow you will be up in that battlefront again yourself. You just think that maybe you ought to write a letter home to
