You read in the papers where a big farewell picnic is going to be held in the Anaheim City park for the National Guard, you look across the room and see a vacant desk from which a fellow worker was "inducted" into the military service, and you begin to see a sprinkling of uniforms on the streets. It makes you wonder what it is all about. What's going on that causes these things? You are a United Nations soldier on a battle line across the inhospitable terrain of Korea, half a world away from home. Why are you there? What are you fighting for? Those are questions you are bound to ask yourself—and probably the answers don't come quickly. If you were at home, defending your country from invasion, which it couldn't deal with alone. Furthermore we are doing it under the egis of the United Nations. However, we must look deeper than that. There are many Americans who feel this wouldnt be sufficient cause to send our boys to such a war. We find a far more substantial reason in the fact that the Korean war is part and parcel of the world conflict between communism and democracy. From that viewpoint we are defending our own door-steps, and in a big way. The Korean conflict is an important part of the rapidly swelling conquest of Asia by communism. There is a tendency in the West to overlook this fact, because the dangers and the trials It makes you wonder what it is all about. What's going on that causes these things? You are a United Nations soldier on a battle line across the inhospitable terrain of Korea, half a world away from home. Why are you there? What are you fighting for? Those are questions you are bound to ask yourself—and probably the answers don't come quickly. If you were at home, defending your country from invasion, the answers would be easy. But why Korea? That's a long, long way from your family threshold. Is it an ideal you are defending? We fought World War One "to make the world safe for democracy." Is that what we are doing now? You should know the answer to that, as you fight through the mud of the rice paddies or over the precipitous heights against a foe whose language and ways of life are wholly strange. What does he mean to you? You are entitled to a good reason for your assignment. After all, war is concrete and it is cruel; ideals are intangible. Well, idealism of course does enter into the sacrifice. America and other countries again are fighting "to make the world safe for democracy" — to protect a small state against aggression. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The will of Jacob Keller, deceased, has been admitted to probate and Dr. W. N. Harrin and Richard Heimann are appointed administrators. There are 9000 names on the great register of this county. Mrs. R. C. McKinnie and Mrs. William Crowther who so kindly interested themselves in the care of Mrs. Heffner, have collected from various sources the sum of $41.50. Thirty-four dollars of this money was paid to the nurse, and the balance was given to Mrs. Heffner. The ladies desire to return their sincere thanks to the citizens for the liberality shown in this case. Clay Kellogg of Santa Ana went up the river yesterday to investigate the merits of the water development project recommended to the stockholders of the company by the late Mrs. Fay while president of the Water company, a year and a half ago. Dr. Johnson left on Tuesday for Toronto and other points east, and expects to be gone about six weeks. In his absence Dr. Pousette of Orange will have charge of his practice and will be in his office daily from 3 to 5 p.m. Dr. Johnston intends taking a special course at Trinity University while absent. 25 Years Ago (Ed.

Thirty-four dollars of this money was paid to the nurse, and the balance was given to Mrs. Heffner. The ladies desire to return their sincere thanks to the citizens for the liberality shown in this case. Horace Young of Westminster, a cousin of Rev. Robert Strong of that place, became deranged during the past week and is in a dangerous condition. His illness is attributed to bathing in cold water while overheated. He is attended by Dr. Yocum of Anaheim and Dr. McCoy of Westminster. The festival last night was an enjoyable affair, and the church funds were swelled by the addition of $65. Misses Des Granges and Helmann furnished music for the occasion and Mr. Saxon gave a reading which added not a little to his well deserved fame as an elocutionist. 50 Years Ago The residence of J. B. Cameron of West Anaheim was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning. A lighted lamp left in the house is supposed to have exploded. The building and contents were totally destroyed. Loss about $1200. Insurance $950. Among a number of heirlooms destroyed which money cannot replace, was a set of crockery which had been used by Mrs. Cameron's great grandfather. Mrs. Cameron and the children are visiting in San Francisco. The ditch committee of the water board, in company of Engineer Dr. Johnson left on Tuesday for Toronto and other points east, and expects to be gone about six weeks. In his absence Dr. Pousette of Orange will have charge of his practice and will be in his office daily from 3 to 5 p.m. Dr. Johnston intends taking a special course at Trinity University while absent. 25 Years Ago Theodore Roberts, an old and highly esteemed resident of this city died at his home on Wednesday. He was for a number of years engaged in the jewelry business. He returned some months ago from a trip to Europe, on which he was accompanied by Mrs. Roberts. He leaves his wife and two children. Mr. Roberts built and was owner of the Roberts block of buildings cornering at Center and Lemon streets, including the California theatre. The West Anaheim Sewing circle held its monthly meeting at Anaheim Landing on Wednesday. After routine business was transacted the ladies denned bathing suits and swam around the bay. Later, the hostess, Mrs. Elli Sparkes, served a sumptuous repast after which the ladies returned home, having spent a perfect day. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Marion regaled a host of friends at Anaheim Landing Thursday evening with a rabbit Dutch pot, to which ample justice was done. Among the invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Hatfield, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Fordice and son, Buddy, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Miekle and son, Edsel, Mrs. Estella Johnson, Miss Amand Dumke and Judge Charles Kuchel.

WASHINGTON—It has been hushed up, but the FBI clamped another suspected subversive agent in jail last week. He is William Wolfe Weisband of Arlington, Va., who was arrested in Los Angeles after being trailed by government agents for months. Weisband was employed for seven years as an analyst in one of the government's top-secret defense agencies. For security reasons, we have been asked not to identify the agency or the nature of its highly classified work. It can be revealed, however, that Weisband was abruptly suspended, without pay, last May as a bad security risk. Shortly after his suspension, Weisband and his wife drove to California "to see a friend." The FBI had the pair under constant surveillance all the way from Washington to Los Angeles. As Weisband was preparing to return to Washington, he was subpoenaed by a Los Angeles federal grand jury investigating espionage. At that time he was asked only a few perfunctory questions—his name, age, home address, etc. He was ordered to come before the grand jury one week later, for further questioning. This time he failed to show up, giving the excuse that he had insufficient funds to remain in Los Angeles. So he returned home with the FBI again trailing him across the country. On August 2, Weisband received a third summons to appear before the Los Angeles grand jury. He decided to comply with this order and returned to the West Coast. Upon his arrival on August 16, he was arrested and jailed on a have no vote, Congress must take time out to decide petty, municipal problems. Last year Congress spent more than 3000 hours on local District matters... For example, it took acts of Congress to govern the sale or rock fish, to determine whether butter should be served at St. Elizabeth's hospital, and to decide what to do about a herd of goats in the District of Columbia... Once Congress had to interrupt the debate on the Marshall Plan to give D.C., officials the right to tear down a pair of old gateposts... A Gallup Poll shows that the public overwhelmingly favors giving their fellow Americans in Washington the right to vote. Both the Republican and Democratic parties have pledged home rule for the people of Washington. Yet Congress has ignored all this and pigeonhooled the "Home Rule" bill. Bean's Dopesheet Washington's noted political dopester, Louis H. Bean, has given intimates some private postscripts to his new book on elections, "The Midterm Battle." Though forecasting defeat for the big guns in the senate, Bean admits a number of "fuzzy factors" make a prediction on the coming elections difficult. "One is Korea," says Bean. "If the war draws public attention away from politics, it might reduce the turnout of voters, which would hurt the Democrats in the big industrial centers." This happened in 1942 when many people failed to vote, because they were moving around and couldn't register, or had good jobs and just weren't interested in midterm Congressional elections. This plus a possible "protest" vote by those who blame the administration for higher living costs, won't help the Democrats. On the other hand, Bean foresees the likelihood of a possible downward trend in isolationism this November, which would help Democratic candidates. "The fact that we are at war and better valencias to have prices in direct ratio. Wha' hoppen? The bigger and better valencias are here this year. And the price is lower; lower and lower. The run-away-market predicted by the upper levels of the Exchange and voiced by their Mr. Wohlwend in front of the OAC never seemed to materialize. But we kept the shipments up to nearly the number of cars a week that he wanted. Now we are going to come up with a little quotation of our own. We won't even start it out: "And Paul said, in a deep, resonant voice shaking with the rattle of the battle and the tattle of the prattle, we will now turn on the light of the stupendous intellect and show you how to properly evaluate the things that are going on and where to put the emphasis." Here is the way to size things up: "The world's greatest, most stupendous, gigantic and far more important considerations than simple money, is the fact that 14,500 growers can't all get the idea at the same time that everything is not peaches and cream. Drop us a line today and an experienced man will gladly work out for you the reasons we must ship at least 13,50 cars of oranges east each week. He will also answer this vital question: What products will bring the best return this year? Next year? In '52? And also will explain why we do not pack them. Except for New York concerns to make a profit on—but at least we have not let the word 'California' appear anyplace. We are taking care of the grower in a larger sense. We have a method of comparing returns based not on random 'field box comparisons', but on careful figuring that does not take money into account at all. We are so far ahead of the field in this respect that the whole deal sounds, even to us, strangely like oversimplification. Drop us a line today and we will send you at once, without obligation, and for free, one pair." Erin would ever re-read about as Irishman Dame lineup.

He decided to comply with this order and returned to the West Coast. Upon his arrival on August 16, he was arrested and jailed on a technical charge of contempt, for failing to respond to the second subpoena. A stocky, dark-haired man in his early forties, Weisband is a Russian-born, naturalized American. Before the war he was a hotel clerk in Los Angeles. In 1942 he entered the Army and was later commissioned a lieutenant. (Note.—Weisband's pretty, raven-haired wife, a North Carolina girl whom he married 18 months ago, was also fired from the same government agency. However, the FBI does not suspect her of being mixed up in any spying.) Voteless Americans The world looks upon Washington as the heart and hope of democracy, yet here are some unbelievable facts about the U.S. capital: Only two capital cities outside the Iron Curtain do not permit their citizens to vote—Washington, D.C., and Canberra, Australia. Our American forefathers fought the Revolution because they were forced to pay taxes without representation. Yet today, D.C., residents pay more federal taxes than those in 25 of the 88 states, still get no voice in how those taxes are spent... congress has granted sufrage to the natives of Guam, but still enies it to the citizens of the National capital... Because American citizens living in Washington many people failed to vote, because they were moving around and couldn't register, or had good jobs and just weren't interested in midterm Congressional elections. This, plus a possible "protest" vote by those who blame the administration for higher living costs, won't help the Democrats. On the other hand, Bean foresees the likelihood of a possible downward trend in isolationism this November, which would help Democratic candidates. "The fact that we are at war probably will undercut the isolationist issue and prove beneficial to some midwest Democrats who looked like sure losers before the Korean invasion," the political seer observes. Colony Quips As you all know the prices for fresh valencias sold on Eastern auctions have averaged about 86 cents per box less than last year and two cents less than two years ago. Slightly more fruit was sold this year than last but was far less than two years ago. This desuite the fact that our sizes and quality was much better than last year. You remember we were told by our "highly paid brass" that if we would only grow bigger fruit and better fruit they would get us some dough for it. Well, we have been listening for years, too. But Paul said, and this is no Biblical text, Bub, and no sermon either, yet, that we needed bigger the word 'California' appear anyplace. We are taking care of the grower in a larger sense. We have a method of comparing returns based not on random 'field box comparisons' but on careful figuring that does not take money into account at all. We are so far ahead of the field in this respect that the whole deal squands, even to us, strangely like oversimplification. Drop us a line today and we will send you at once, without obligation, and for free, one pair of scissors and you can cut out your own paper towels—er, we mean dolls." Close quote. Don't you think we reserve a card in the quote writer's guild? But who would pay our dues? And who is going to buy our oranges? Back in the have your heard department. Down in Florida work is being rushed on the expansion of several new concentrate plants and on the building of a few new ones. You will see Florida concentrating a lot more grapefruit juice this coming season because the public is using a lot of it. Eight key markets are seeing a huge campaign put on this week by the Florida Citrus Commission for concentrated grapefruit juice. Florida growers are right back of this move. They know all about it. They are not worrying about the orange concentrate. They know it will all be sold before time to put up any more. The growers down there know they will get good money for their fruit next year too. Citrus growing is a business down there. Here in California it is a rich man's hobby. But you are going to see that change. It won't be long until the California grower looks his shipper, handler, processor or even the Exchange "hired help" right square in the eye and says: "Cut the comedy boys.

Allied Republic of Korea troops are called Roks in official United Nations releases. But many Roks joining up with the American troops to fight the reds are given Irish nicknames as well in honor of the Korean's reputation as "The Irish of the East." More and more Roks are being incorporated into American fighting units on a volunteer basis. The South Korean rookies proudly wear their Irish nicknames of CI-christening on white cloth badges pinned to their breasts for identification purposes. And they answer to them at roll call in the First Battalion of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment. Thus Kim Hwan How may become a Kimmie O'Toole or a Kelly and Lak Choo Kang answers to the name of Ryan or Kilroy in an accent no son of Erin would ever recognize. They are about as Irish as the Notre Dame lineup. The Eighth Army Gins underway a program to integrate South Korean soldiers with each American unit. But "Pistol Pote" Claimos didn't wait for trained Republic of Korean soldiers to be assigned to him. His men has been impressed by the sturdy help given them by volunteer native bearers in battle. So they went into Taegu to seek County Welfare Chief Does Good Job with Hands Tied By GEORGE E. HART (Oranre County Press Bureau) To resume yesterday's discussion of rising welfare costs, which added $1,071,000 to the Orange county taxpayer's humped back this year, and made fathers—of multiple children—fugitives from A.B. 40, it should be stated that there are other factors besides A.B. 40 which are winding the jack under welfare costs. A.B. 40, which "liberalized" aid to children of "absent" fathers to such extent that father is now looking back over his shoulder on dark streets, to avoid permanent absence, is designated by welfare officials as the chief force propelling costs upward. For a family of six children its various benefits would provide $8475 per month, not counting payments for new autos or TV sets, if father can be put out of the way. Since father's assessed valuation would come to about half of that sum, his nervousness is understandable, and it is also easy to see how the taxpayer's neck and father's neck are stretched side by side on the same block. But A.B. 40 isn't alone in booming welfare costs. Welfare authorities say the schools are putting on the pressure, in their own imitable way, to grind their axes at the taxpayer's expense. Principally the pressure from the school interests is applied in the operational field. It comes in the form of increased requirements for a job in welfare. Now spending of public money is strictly outlined by law, and the law must be followed to the letter, which sometimes may hurt the honest unfortunate and help the chiseler. The only way that Tom can help the taxpayer is by holding down the cost of operating the Welfare department. He has cut back this operating cost 70 per cent, compared with its cost while Myrtle Williams was running welfare for the state. That is one important saving the taxpayer has made by repealing Proposition 4 and returning administration of welfare from the state to the county. This saving does not come out of the old-age pensioner, the blind or the children. They get just as much as before. It comes out of the Welfare department payroll and operating costs. The only help the law has given the taxpayer was in changing pension age eligibility from 63 to 65 years. Tom has done whatever else has been done, by grubbing away at the overhead. Under state administration, there was no such silliness on behalf of the taxpayer. What was his money for, if not to spend for him? Myrtle left monuments to the vigor of her spending. One of these is the big idle building on S. Main st., Santa Ana, which she leased for the state for five years, even though she know that Proposition 4 was coming up for repeal soon and Erin would ever recognize. They are about as Irish as the Notre Dame lineup. The Eighth Army has underway a program to integrate South Korean soldiers with each American unit. But "Pistol Pole" Claimos didn't wait for trained Republic of Korea soldiers to be assigned to him. His men had been impressed by the sturdy help given them by volunteer native bearers in battle. So they went into Taegu to seek volunteers who would join them as actual fighting men. They got six members of the Korean constabulary. The six were promptly issued two candy bars and two packs of cigarettes and given hot meal. That word swept through the city like a fresh wind across the rice paddies. Immediately the battalion was swamped with volunteers. Colonel Claimos accepted 140 and immediately established a "buddy system" to indoctrinate his Roks into American Army ways. Each Rok was teamed with a GI who shared every detail of his life with him—from cleaning a rifle to going to the latrine. "There is no more effective way of utilizing South Korean manpower than by making their part and parcel of an American outfit," said Claimos. "They eat like an American, dress like an American and cut their hair like an American. They aren't treated as cannon fodder or assigned just to fatigue details. They share everything just as if they were GI's." So far no arrangement has been made to pay the Roks. But a regimental commander in their own Army draws only $12 a month. And the Rok captain, Soo Wha-Chung, says his men aren't worried about money. He is a stocky 25-year-old graduate of the Japanese Military academy who has to be discouraged from enforcing discipline by whacking his Roks broadside with a samurai sword he always carries. He is credited with killing seven reds with the sword in hand-to-handle combat. "We get along like two fingers on the same hand," said Captain Soo. "The buddy system will make the United Nations war effort 100 per cent effective. All my men are willing to give their lives if ordered to do so." Claimos said the volunteers had proved themselves able soldiers and Capt. Art Westburg of Washington D.C., commander of a company added: "They like it here so well that see how the taxpayer's neck and father's neck are stretched side by side on the same block. But A.B. 40 isn't alone in booming welfare costs. Welfare authorities say the schools are putting on the pressure, in their own imitable way, to grind their axes at the taxpayer's expense. Principally the pressure from the school interests is applied in the operational field. It comes in the form of increased requirements for a job in welfare. Now you must have a college degree. Also boosting costs is the increase in case load. Old-age pensioners in the county now number 5800 as compared to 3700 a year ago. That's a sample. There is one factor shoving downward on the tax load, against these up-pushing factors. Up there, sitting on the lid for all he's worth, is the sharply eyed little Scotsman who runs the County Welfare department, Tom Douglas. Tom is not lacking in sympathy for the honest unfortunate. Nor is he lacking in cold contempt for the professional chiseler. But the state administration, there was no such silliness on behalf of the taxpayer. What was his money for, if not to spend for him? Myrtle left monuments to the vigor of her spending. One of these is the big idle building on S. Main st., Santa Ana, which she leased for the state for five years, even though she know that Proposition 4 was coming up for repeal soon and the building might never be used, which it now isn't. However, the state must go on paying $954 per month rent for it for five years. Or if it should decide to use the building, the cost would go up to about $1500 per month, including utilities, switchboard and janitor service. Myrtle also staffed the place generously while she had it. Tom took over the job and is doing it with 40 per cent less hired help. So Welfare costs have risen. But what would they be if Proposition 4 hadn't been repealed and Myrtle was still calling the shots?
