MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager What if A-bomb hits Center st.? Five years after the explosion of the first atomic bomb, the government has come out with some specific instructions on what to do if one hits your city. They are contained in a big book "The Effects of Atomic Weapons" released by the Atomic Energy Commission. Much of the book is technical—pretty rough going for all but a trained technician—but it has some down-to-earth sections on what a citizen should do in the event of an explosion. It also has recommendations for combatting contamination of personnel, homes and other areas by radioactive materials. Here are some tips on the atom-up position. (AEC officials said that a soldier in a foxhole 1500 yards from a bomb burst would be well protected from blast, heat and radiation effects of an atomic explosion.) After 10 seconds you can stand up, because the immediate peril from heat and atomic rays will have passed in that time. But keep your body pressed tightly against the side of a building to avoid broken glass or falling debris, which can result from the explosions blast effects. If you are inside a house or other building when the bomb IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

After 10 seconds you can stand up, because the immediate peril from heat and atomic rays will have passed in that time. But keep your body pressed tightly against the side of a building to avoid broken glass or falling debris, which can result from the explosions blast effects. If you are inside a house or other building when the bomb goes off, do this: Drop to the floor, with your back to the window. Crawl behind or beneath a table, desk, counter, or other shelter. The closer you are to the interior partitions of the building, the better off you are. They are relatively effective in resisting the blast effects. The 456 page volume gives the low-down on the known or possible effects of A-bombs bursting in the air, on and beneath the ground, and at shallow and deep depths beneath the sea. It reaches the conclusion that air-burst type is the most widely destructive. The book says that people who survive the initial blast and its immediate effects have a good chance of recovery even though injured. Officials said there is no specific treatment against "radiation sickness" but that drugs like aureomycin and pencillin offer much promise of combatting secondary infections that can accompany it. The book also outlined methods for combatting the contamination of people, houses, city streets, water supplies and other things with radioactive materials resulting from an atomic explosion.

Herman Harris, the well-known Santa Ana business man was a visitor in town on Sunday. Mrs. Lightfoot, the former Miss Henee Morning, of Texas, is visiting her mother, Mrs. W. J.

Victor Montgomery, Esq., of Santa Ana was a visitor in town for a brief period on Friday morning last. He states the Rimpau Oil Company of which he is secretary, has completed the construction of a road to their oil lands north of Yorba as well as the erection of a cook house. Drilling operations will begin in the near future. 25 Years Ago E. A.

WASHINGTON—Our boys in Korea are entitled to the army's best combat officers, whose leadership may mean the difference between life and death. Yet it is common talk in the Pentagon that some key battle posts are manned by second-rate officers. There seems to be a reluctance on the Army's part to send its first team to Korea. Though the Army has plenty of crack officers, the Korean command went to Lieut. Gen. Walton Walker who happened to be the highest-ranking officer under MacArthur and thereby inherited the job. Walker served successfully during the last war under the late Gen. George S. Patton, Jr. However, Walker's fellow generals don't think much of him as a great field commander. One general summed up the common opinion of Walker bluntly: "Walker is a methodical, plodding, regular army plug horse who suddenly found himself a lieutenant general." The impression is that while Walker is not a bad general, he is not a particularly good one. Yet the G.I.'s at the front are entitled to the best commanding general we've got. Walker's chief of staff is Col.ugene Landrum, who commanded the 90th Division when it landed in France in June, 1944. However, he made such a poor showing that he was relieved of his command within two months and shipped back to the States. Clarence Cannon of Missouri over the head with a gavel. It happened behind closed doors, while Senate and House conferees were trying to iron out differences in the appropriations bill. This brought McKellar, the Senate appropriations chairman, and Cannon, the House appropriations chairman, into violent disagreement. With an explosive snort, McKellar accused Cannon of "making slurring references." Then the aged Tennesseean began spouting expletives, which an eyewitness later reported "almost peeled the paint off the walls." One of the milder terms McKellar used to describe Cannon was S.O.B. (unabbreviated). This was too much for Cannon who announced he wouldn't take such abuse "from any man" and started after McKellar. Simultaneously, the sputtering Senator from Tennessee picked up his gavel which he had been using to rap the table and tried to rap Cannon. However, colleagues separated them before they could do any damage to each other. Washington Pipeline General MacArthur was considering coming back to the United States just as the Korean war broke out. He was interested in an offer of a top job at Remington Rand ... Before the end of the year, President Truman plans to set up a special board to keep an eye on prices and a new agency to take over the vital job of civilian defense ... Many top mobsters have been getting careless with their income-tax returns. They have been reporting ridiculously small incomes and lumping it all under such general terms as "self-speculation." ... Mike Reilly, FDR's famous friend and bodyguard, is now quietly working for the interior department ... Tariff Commissioner Edgar Brossard has been cooling his beels two Colony Quips Yesterday we got into a dither on just who was ever going to get us any money for our Valencias among those "freshmen," as Florida operators refer to our revered Exchange "hired hands" and were in the process of reviewing some of the alibis handed out this year. This was all brought on by Mr. Wohlwend's expression at the last week's meeting of the OAC that higher prices would do no good, but only drive more people to use frozen concentrate. With every other commodity, fruit, vegetable or what have you going up in price and return our highly paid "help" come up with that kind of talk. What is this anway? Last year Wohlwend said, right here in Anaheim, that the Exchange did not build giant concentrating plants because they did not want any "white elephants" around. He was told then that the Exchange, perhaps, did not have any "white elephants" but that... The impression is that while Walker is not a bad general, he is not a particularly good one. Yet the G.I.'s at the front are entwined to the best commanding general we've got. Walker's chief of staff is Col. Hugene Landrum, who commanded the 90th Division when it landed in France in June, 1944. However, he made such a poor showing that he was relieved of his command within two months and shipped back to the States. Later, when most of the wartime generals were demoted one rank, Landrum was dropped two ranks, from major general to colonel. Yet he now holds the crucial post as Walker's chief of staff in Korea—because, like Walker, Landrum happened to be in line for the job. Back in Japan, the G-2 section is General MacArthur's eyes and ears. Its job is to gather and analyze military intelligence, so vital in time of war. Yet the G-2 chief, in charge of this important listening post, is Maj. Gen. Charles Willoughby, a strutting heel-clicker who has been accused by subordinates of doctoring the intelligence reports to please rather than inform MacArthur. Born in Prussia, Willoughby's real name is Von Tschepe-Wiedenbach, and his principal qualification is the fact that he served under MacArthur on Bataan. This is the estimate of fellow generals. Note—Like the Army, the Marines also sent a subordinate to Korea. Instead of Maj. Gen. Graves Erskine accompanying his troops, he was given a diplomatic assignment in Latin America and the next in command, Brig. Gen. Edward Craig, went to Korea. The reason was that the Army divisions are commanded by brigadier generals, and the Marines didn't want to embarrass the Army by sending over a major general.

Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee fried to pop 71-year-old Congressman set up a special board to keep an eye on prices and a new agency to take over the vital job of civilian defense... Many top mobsters have been getting careless with their income-tax returns. They have been reporting ridiculously small incomes and lumping it all under such general terms as "self-speculation." Mike Reilly, FDR's famous friend and bodyguard, is now quietly working for the interior department... Tariff Commissioner Edgar Brossard has been cooling his heels two months, waiting for President Truman to decide whether to reappoint him. Brossard doesn't always agree with the president; but he has been a capable public servant. Pulling Strings Whether you're a five per center angling for government contracts or a reserve officer trying to get out of a combat unit, it still pays to have an inside track with Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan, the irrepressible White House military aide. For example, here is how Vaughan is pulling strings inside the Pentagon for Robert C. Smith of Columbia, Mo., a reserve Army lieutenant, who wants to transfer from the field artillery to the army's legal section. Ordinarily Smith wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance, because the army isn't taking any new lawyers. However, after the army had already rejected one transfer request, Smith appealed to a Missouri politician and crony of Vaughan's, William H. Becker. All it took was a letter to Vaughan, in which Becker explained that Smith had recently graduated from the Missouri university law school and had "requested transfer to the judge advocate general's corps reserves where he believes he can best serve his country." The Siriono Indians of Bolivia never wear clothes although they live in swamp forests swarming with insects. they had better see some of those "red elephants" their fresh fruit brought to town. Then Paul said, no Paul does not speak for publication, it was Wilcox, they are all friends of Mr. Fox of Minute Maid, who said, in the magazine which the Exchange growers subsidize, that California's best marketing opportunity lies in the field of fresh oranges. If this is true then we here in California had better quit. Raising oranges, that is. We had better start making such a large noise that even Paul can hear us. He might even call on some little people out here in the country when visiting competing plants in the area. But let's get on. All these boys think that our only—let's change that and say their only future is in the fresh orange field. The grower's future is in citrus fruit, however gotten into the hands of consumers. His only concern is how much a day he gets back. He wants a floor under his fruit. He must have, at least, 50 cents a pound, net on the tree, for his Valencia oranges. And this CAN be done. It IS being done right close to where we are now. It is not being done by the "freshmen" and you can bet your bottom dollar on that. After Mr. Wilcox told growers where their best marketing opportunity was we had rather a quiet time. Then Mr. Wohlwend stepped forward for his aria and sang it long and lustily. You remember how it went? We must ship more fruit, as much as 1400 to 1500 cars of Valencias each week to keep away.

Then the OAC kicked out the prorate altogether. Everybody then could ship as much or as little as they pleased. By-products and fresh have used almost the same number of cars. Many shippers have found out that even with the ridiculously low price on "juice" fruit, set by the Exchange, the grower would get more return then on choice shipped cast. Now, last week, Mr. Wohlwend and his Exchange couterparts said that it would do no good to cut shipments because higher prices would simply drive more consumers to the use of frozen concentrate. And they are still on our payroll. Wanta buy a grove? MAYOR BOWRON SWINGS ON VETERANS ADMINISTRATION LOS ANGELES (P) — Mayor Bowron has taken a verbal swing at what he calls "federal bureaucrats sticking their noses into purely local affairs." The mayor sent a letter to President Truman yesterday in which he accused Veterans Arministration officials of "lobbying" individual city councilmen in behalf of private building promoters. The mayor charged that government officials are trying to influence local zoning legislation. He branded the city council's approach to San Fernando Valley's zoning matters "a disgrace." SATURDAY A.
