MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Why all the pother??? Formosa certainly has come into the news recently. General MacArthur makes a statement to the effect that it is a key bastion to holding the Far Pacific area and that the U.S. shouldn't let it fall to the red Chinese. President Truman then wades in, slaps the general's wrist, and tells him to pipe down about matters of foreign policy. Then, too, commie China has been making verbal threats on the big island fortress of Chiang Kai-Shek. Why all this pother about Formosa? There has been considerable argument recently about the value of the Pacific island defense line, including Formosa, to America and her allies. Some military experts have rather shrugged their shoulders not be overlooked that at the same time he asked Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek to halt all operations against the communist held mainland of China. So far as concerns the threat of a red invasion of Formosa, the communists are up against not only the U.S. Seventh Fleet but there are other very considerable obstacles. Not the least of these is the fact that Chiang has a large army-variously estimated at between 250,000 and 400,000. It would take a lot of doing to land invading forces in face of that. And American air power is available in that general area. Still, the time may arrive when the Chinese communists will dare to undertake an assault on Formosa for a successful gamble. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The Independent candidates will speak at Downey next Monday. Addresses will be delivered by Stephen M. White, Alex Bailey, H. T. Hazard, Judge Evey, G. L. Russell and Theodore Lynill. Menzel has just received a lot of German sausages, cheese, etc., and with characteristic liberality has remembered the poor printer. For the past 14 days 30 Chinese men have been employed picking hops upon J. B. Raines plantation. This gentleman has raised five tons of hops on six acres. He shipped two bales of hops to San Francisco last Saturday. The camp meeting of the Methodist Episcopal church South, will begin today on the camp grounds. berger, Captain; Dr. Eddy, doctor. At the conclusion of the meeting a collation was served. J. P. des Granges responded to the toast, "Our New Brothers," and Bird Beebe to "The Ladies." 25 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. Dolan entertained the "Four-Fours" club in Hollywood on Monday evening at the beautiful home of Mrs. Dolan's parents. A bountiful supper was served after which the usual game of whist was played. The first prizes were won by Mrs. Fred Backs and Ralph McFadden and the boobles by Mrs. McCord and John Wallop.

Not the least of these is the fact that Chiang has a large army-variously estimated at between 250,000 and 400,000. It would take a lot of doing to land invading forces in face of that. And American air power is available in that general area. Still, the time may arrive when the Chinese communists will dare to undertake an assault on Formosa, for a successful gamble would win huge stakes. However, if the attempt is to be made this season it will have to come quickly, because the bad weather is about to break, bringing the devastating typhoons which would be death to an invasion fleet of sailing junks. So unless the invasion should be made immediately, it would have to be put off for some months until the good weather came again. Meantime the Chinese communist demand is calculated to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery of the United Nations. A charge of aggression has been leveled against the United States, and an effort is being made to divide the U.N. over the Korean issue. It is a typical "cold war" maneuver by Moscow. WASHINGTON — Exit Louis Johnson?—Big guns in the Democratic party led by Speaker S Rayburn are hot on the trail Secretary of Defense Louey Johnson. They know that Johnson passing out information to Republicans against Dean Acheson and U. S. foreign policy generals. The men he is working through are Senators Brewster of Ma and Wherry of Nebraska, two Truman's bitterest opponents. Therefore, Johnson will soon find the full force of Senator Lyne Johnson's new "Truman Committee," which will make a thorough investigation of our military setup, and lower the boom on Low sometime after elections. Cook of the SEC will be chancellor and will play his part well . . . Johnson is so bitter Acheson that when he appears before closed-door Senate Foreign Relations committee hearings, looked around the room and quired mockingly: "Is there anyone from the State Department listening?" Again he snarls "This is not the diplomat speaking, but the military." CHURCHILL PREDICTS WEEK—Here is the inside story behind Winston Churchill's stirringmand for a unified Western European army.

He shipped two bales of hops to San Francisco last Saturday. The camp meeting of the Methodist Episcopal church South, will begin today on the camp grounds, about two and one-half miles west of Santa Ana on the south side of the road to Anaheim Landing. Judge Clark has registered 64 voters. He experts that by Election day there will be 75 or 80. A very painful accident happened yesterday to Mr. James Viles in front of Langenberger's store. He was riding a horse, which, becoming unruly, dashed against a wagon. Mr. Viles right leg was broken a little above the knee. He was carried to the Anaheim hotel, where every assistance was rendered. It will be several months before he can resume his seat in the saddle. 50 Years Ago Court Anaheim 156, Foresters of America, was organized Tuesday evening in Backs' hall with 40 members. Among the visitors were George Goldman of San Diego, J. H. Melville of Los Angeles and a delegation from Santa Ana, who conducted the ceremonies.

A bountiful supper was served after which the usual game of whist was played. The first prizes were won by Mrs. Fred Backs and Ralph McFadden and the boobles by Mrs. McCord and John Wallop. Ben Herr, aged 5, entertained a number of young friends on the occasion of his birthday Wednesday afternoon. Twenty guests were present and assisted in consuming the goodies Mrs. Herr provided for them. Five hundred persons in Orange county have applications on file for drivers licenses. Examinations are being held at the courthouse every Monday with Captain Henry S. Warner in charge. Mrs. Wm. Davis of Brea entertained at luncheon at La Seranos Country club near China, on Tuesday afternoon. Luncheon was served at 1 o'clock, after which a round of golf was played by those so inclined. Those present were Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth, Mrs. John Wallop, Mrs. Fred Backs, Mrs. Zephenfelt, Miss Winifred Melrose, Miss Esther Grewes, Miss Dorothy Yungbluth, Miss Florence Backs, Miss Esther Zephenfelt, Billy Davis, Bob Chaffee and the hostess, Mrs. Davis.

Minister of France, that he certain war with Russia will come before Christmas of 1951 and West will lose all of Europe for weeks after the first shot is fired unless his plan is adopted. Churchill drew much applause but did not support from the British government. UNIFICATION WORKS—Congratulations to the three Securities of the Army, Navy and Air Force for their friendly teamwork. Sitting around the table, they work out mutual problems before passing them on to Secretary Defense Johnson. This has dearly away with the inter-service briefing that used to take place Johnson's office. As a result, utilization is now working better than ever. BUSINESS BEFORE DEFENDANCE—The Army is having trouble buying parts for its equipment—cause most manufacturers are scrambling to cater to private business. The Army can't get delivery on rentors for nine months, because civilian orders have priority. Yet sistors are essential for walking talkies and tank radios, badly needed in Korea. Dupont has held up a large order of wire railing prices on the wire covering So the entire order now has to renegotiated. MORE RENT CONTROLS—Housing Expeditor Tighe Wood will ask Congress to restore wartime power to control rentals He wants authority to slap new controls on critical housing areas and to nullify the action of cities already decontrolled. Wood's recommendations are now on the way to Congress via the Budget Bureau. ACHESON'S HEALTH—It will be denied but Secretary Acheson is seriously thinking of resigning after the first of January even though President Truman wanted him to stay on. The terrific strain of directing foreign policy p THE MASKED MARVELS was worth poor prices good fruit was won money. Minute Maid paid $1 Hamlins, $1.25 for P.n.s. $1.50 for Valencids and money some six months the time the crop would Hold on a minute, the taking all the chance grower has the money right now.

Johnson is so bitter at that when he appeared closed-door Senate Foreign Affairs committee hearings, he around the room and in mockingly: "Is there anyom the State Department bug?" Again he snarled: "Is not the diplomat speaket the military." ARCHILL PREDICTS WAR is the inside story behind Churchill's stirring defense of a unified Western Euro-army.

Doctors forced him to go on a complete two-weeks vacation, which has helped. But many friends fear he won't be able to stand the pace. Johnson's Special Agent Such hilarious reports have come back to the capital regarding Senator Harry Cain's comic opera trip across Europe as "The special agent of the Secretary of Defense," that Secretary Johnson recently complained to President Truman: "But he isn't my representative. I never authorized him to go to Europe for me." No wonder Johnson is worried over the way Cain poses as his "special agent." The Senator from Washington, dressed in the uniform of a reserve colonel, recently lined up a group of generals and U.S. diplomats in Germany. And waving a finger under the nose of a two-star general he demanded, "Now what's your problem?" The general's eyes popped. Not wanting to be discourteous he mumbled something about lack of adequate reserves. "Write me a memo," snorted Cain. "I'll take care of that!" As the astounded officers dispersed, one general inquired: "Is that guy crazy?" NOT ENOUGH TROOPS—Secretary of Defense Johnson complained of the manpower shortage at a closed-door session of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, but was reluctant to do anything about it. He reported that the Army is still six divisions short of its 18 division goal, yet hesitates to step up the draft because of public reaction... Johnson urged a law to authorize Universal Military Training, but said the time is not ripe to put UMT in action. HOME FRONT PREPARATIONS—Within 30 days President Truman will appoint a special board to advise him on prices. The Colony Quips What do you say we lay off the "freshmen" for today and skip around on some of the news from Florida. We mean citrus news down to brass tacks and not 'news releases' or Exchange News Letters" or any other propaganda device used to pour oil on the feelings of California growers. Things citruswise down in the southern state are very lovely, thank you, and everyone is looking forward to a very fine season. In other words the grower will AGAIN receive some real dough. We have received information from an ultra reliable source, one with no AXE to grind, that the big concentrate outfits have no top-heavy inventories on hand. This information came to us after we heard repeated reports that Florida would have a big carry-over into the coming season. We have talked to growers who have been so confused about this whole picture that it makes our blood boil. They have been pumped so full of propaganda that they cannot reach a sane conclusion in their own minds. How long they can be kept groping in the dark is anyone's guess. The little we know about the industry will continue to come to you in this space as long as we are able. Anyone with a lick of sense knows where this propaganda on the big Florida carryover started. It is easy to figure out why if you stop to think a minute. Let us ask one question: if the deal was as bad as the Exchange would like you to think do you In every country in world GI has fought he usually fast friends of the kids them he is a military with endless stores of gum, chocolate bars and mints.

HOME FRONT PREPARATIONS—Within 30 days President Truman will appoint a special board to advise him on prices. The board will keep a careful eye on all major commodities and will have the power to slap controls on any products that get out of line . Truman is also planning to set up a new agency to take over coordination of civilian defense. By the end of the year this new agency will be passing out federal money to cities all over the country in an all-out effort to secure at least a minimum degree of defense against surprise A-bomb attack. This is probably the most important—and most neglected—problem facing the nation. HERBERT HOOVER, Palo Alto —"When America draws its sword, there's only one way out—to win in battle and to win a lasting peace." MRS. RANDALL C. ROBERTS, Sacto, wife of GI missing in action —"As for hoarders, I personally hope they choke." QUEEN MOTHER NAZLI, of Egypt, in Calif.—"Often kings and queens are the slaves of their people."

This half a million box crop consisted of a lot of Hamlins which are a very poor commercial orange. They are known as the "bad actors" as far as Florida growers are concerned. The growers who had this variety of fruit fought the new standards which went into effect down there last year. Florida took the practical stand that poor fruit can be kept groping in the dark is anyone's guess. The little we know about the industry will continue to come to you in this space as long as we are able. Anyone with a lick of sense knows where this propaganda on the big Florida carryover started. It is easy to figure out why if you stop to think a minute. Let us ask one question: if the deal was as bad as the Exchange would like you to think do you believe the big outfits such as Minute Maid, Snow Crop, Birds-oye and others would be buying more groves and building more concentrate facilities as well as expanding already established plants? Well they are—in Florida. As long as they can buy the stuff on a "cheaper fruit" basis there is no reason for them to spend any money in California. This last is not one of your reporter's idle dreams. In fact it has just been announced—in Florida—that Minute Maid has purchased half a million box crop of oranges from the Howey interests in Lake county. Almost six months ahead of the time that the good part of the crop can be processed into frozen concentrate they lay real money on the line. If a freeze or a hurricane comes along the buyer takes the loss. Do you get it? The buyer takes the risk. In Florida the GROWER gets the DOUGH.

Hal Boyle KOREA (AP) — The American Army here is being captured-almost against its will—by a younger and more numerous force. It is slowly becoming the prisoner of the children of Korea. In every country in which the GI has fought he usually makes fast friends of the kids first. To them he is a military croesus with endless stores of chewing gum, chocolate bars and candy mints. And few could withstand these magic bribes lavishly dealt out. They made the GI the hero of childhood from Calcutta to Casablanca in the last world war. Dorothy Dix (Continued from Page 3) week we get a letter and every time the postman comes my blood pressure goes up and up for I know it is just another touch. My wife will not listen to any argument that I advance. Says she can't let her brother starve, but I loaned an old uncle $10 and she wants me to sue him. Aren't women wonderful? T.M.N. ANSWER—They certainly are, Mr. T.M.N., and so are men, and about the most wonderful problem of matrimony is how much a husband and a wife have a right to burden the party of the other part with their dependent relatives. For there is so much to be said on both sides of the question. To begin with, a husband and a wife who work together, shoulder to shoulder, building up the family fortune are equally responsible to the success or failure of the firm. Also it is undeniable that both the husband and the wife have an equal right to some of the money that they mutually earn to spend as they so decide, without any reference to what the other thinks about it. Should Not Be Hardship The right of each to give to their families, however, is just only so long as it does not work a hardship on the other. But often both husbands and wives are ruthless in the way they enslave their mates to their own people. I think that husbands and wives should deal more justly with each other than they do in this matter of the dependent relatives. For many of these relatives are dependent simply because they are gold-diggers. At any rate, the husband and wife have the first claim on the family purse. POWERED MODEL—Miss Betty Uren holds a large gas-powered free-flight plane, a competitor in one of the classes of the Summer model plane contest at Detroit, Mich. Korean War (Continued from Page 1) —the third time in 48 hours that the communications point changed hands—the communists were threatening to cut the Pohang-Taegu road with more than a harassing force. If successful, the red maneuver would isolate South Korean forces just north of Pohang. The weariness of battle-scarred South Koreans brought worried looks in American command quarters. The reds were uncomfortably close to Pohang and republican defenders seemed unduly tired. The death struggle for the No. 2 It is slowly becoming the prisoner of the children of Korea. In every country in which the GI has fought he usually makes fast friends of the kids first. To them he is a military croesus with endless stores of chewing gum, chocolate bars and candy mints. And few could withstand these magic bribes lavishly dealt out. They made the GI the hero of childhood from Calcutta to Casablanca in the last world war. It wasn't altogether generosity on the part of the GI, although he was and is notoriously softhearted to children. But he learned quickly that through the kids he could win his way into favor with their families—generally families with pretty daughters. And before long GI Joe was a one-man post exchange. He gave his gum to the kids, his bag of laundry soap to their mamma, his cigaret ration to their papa. And all he had left to give the pretty daughter was a chocolate bar and conversation. However, this often seemed satisfactory. The happy system of introduction was "so well understood in London that when a small boy called "got any gum, chum?" the soldier joked back, "got a sister, mister?" But the formula hasn't gone so far in Korea. Few have found either temporary or permanent girl friends and most have taken no part in the life of the country. The frank truth is that most Yanks came here to do a disagreeable duty that has taken them longer than they hoped and they want to leave as soon as it is done. There are fewer comforts in Korea than in Japan and life generally is on a lower level. The GI has shown little interest in learning just what kind of people the Koreans are, although he has developed a great respect for their ability as soldiers. But slowly the Korean children are winning him over. I suppose it is their plight that has touched him. At first they were as strange and furtive as their parents, peeking out fearfully from their crude mud-walled huts when the troops rolled by. Then they learned to wave and salute and say "ello," and now it is a great game for them to stand in the dust saluting and yelling "ello, 'ello, 'ello," like little birds that have only two notes in their song. They are happy, handsome children—those in good health—and as courteous and polite as the children of France. But many have only so long as it does not work a hardship on the other. But often both husbands and wives are ruthless in the way they enslave their mates to their own people. I think that husbands and wives should deal more justly with each other than they do in this matter of the dependent relatives. For many of these relatives are dependent simply because they are gold-diggers. At any rate, the husband and wife have the first claim on the family purse. As far as you are concerned, Mr. T.M.N., the only thing you can do is to realize that your wife is worth more to you than the money she gives her brother, and just try to forget about it. You can't change her, nor can you keep him from holding her up and getting all he can out of her. LOS ANGELES COUNTY LEADS FARM INCOME Los Angeles county with $177,-104,000 again headed the list of all California counties in cash farm income last year, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce officials said yesterday. HIT N' RUN "COME ON IN, IT'S OPEN!" were as strange and furious as their parents, peeking out fearfully from their crude mud-walled huts when the troops rolled by. Then they learned to wave and salute and say "ello," and now it is a great game for them to stand in the dust saluting and yelling "ello, 'ello, 'ello," like little birds that have only two notes in their song. They are happy, handsome children—those in good health—and as courteous and polite as the children of France. But many have legs and arms covered with sores, and heads so patched with disease the hair looks as if it had been burned out by red hot pokers held against the skull. As the war goes on, more lost and homeless children, paying the price of a war they don't understand, drift into the cities and beg on the streets. It hurts your heart to see these tiny ragamuffins stretched sleepily all alone on a filthy path. The children know that the troops generally get their rations in the evening. They gather at dusk near the billets, patiently expectant. The boys are now bold enough to say "ello, gum?" But the little girls hang shyly back. Only five or six years old themselves, they usually clasp on their back a sleeping baby whose shock of stiffly standing uncut black hair makes it look like a kingfisherman.
