MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Sewers; a grim situation... Whether we like it or not, Anaheim, and this part of Orange county, is faced with a pretty serious situation in the matter of sewers. The sewers are overloaded. There is no doubt about that! Something should be done. And, there is no doubt about that! The proposed answer is to float a bond issue—buy bigger sewers with tax money. In this day of high taxes that is a pretty grim proposal. Nobody likes to kick loose with money he could spend on the wife and kids. But, maybe there lies the painless method in the proposal. The sewer situation must be coped with. It can't be done with them pre-payments to keep disease away from our cities. Other arguments can be tossed into the hat in favor of the new sewer mains. But, they become unnecessary in the face of just one vital fact: "Unless steps are taken immediately to increase and improve our sewage disposal facilities, the public health will be in jeopardy." Public bonds are, of course, the best and quickest way to get the money. And, they provide the means of spreading the cost of the new sewers. This includes not only the folks who have resided here for years but it will cut in the people and businesses who are coming... And, there is no doubt about that! The proposed answer is to float a bond issue—buy bigger sewers with tax money. In this day of high taxes that is a pretty grim proposal. Nobody likes to kick loose with money he could spend on the wife and kids. But, maybe there lies the painless method in the proposal. The sewer situation must be coped with. It can't be done with existing facilities. We could hire all the experts in the world—but they couldn't get the sewage carted off with anything short of the big pipe lines proposed under the tax measure. So, let's consider this thing from the family standpoint—the wife and kids. Here's a hint as to what we mean: Dr. Edward L. Russell, Orange county health officer, has said "No permanent advances in the general health program can rest on a substructure of poor sanitation. Unless steps are taken immediately to increase and improve our sewage disposal facilities, the public health will be in jeopardy." We're convinced the good doctor means what he says. So to protect the health of our families, let's consider the money spent for adequate sewers as "health insurance" or consider IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The Great Bank Crash San Francisco, August 27, 4 a.m.—At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Bank of California closed its books on the public and suspended payments. The intelligence of this action spread like wildfire throughout the entire city and in 10 minutes California street from Montgomery to Sansome was literally blocked with human heads. The cause of the suspension is the locking up of coin by flood & O'Brien, the great rivals of Ralston and the Bank of California. Of course the suspension had its effect on other banks, and a run was made on several institutions, depositors drawing out their money as fast as they could get it. The impression is that we are on the eve of a at the hot sulphur springs and mud baths. A previous visit of a fortnight gave him a season of five weeks at the well-known health resort. He reports the experience of great relief from his rheumatism and is loud in his praise not only of the efficacy of the waters of the resort in alliments of this kind but the beauty of the surroundings as well. Mrs. Fritz Ruhman departed some days ago for Brooklyn on a two months visit to relatives and friends. She will also visit with friends at Pittsburgh. The evening before her departure, the singing section of the Turn Verein tendered Mr. and Mrs. Ruhman a delightful serenade. WASHINGTON — Here play-by-play account of event on behind-the-scenes how historic rebuke of MacArthur by President T First inking that MacA had sent a message to the crans of Foreign Wars or delicate question of Fore came on Thursday, August when Carlton Kent of the cago Sun-Times queried Tubby, State Department relations office, as to why the MacArthur statement been cleared by the State department. Tubby passed the query, the White House and the L Department, found that had either seen or heard MacArthur statement. It has sent direct to newspapers personal letter on August 2 a release date for August 2 was in direct violation White House directive laid during the famous Henry Winnis Burns row, after it was declared that no state on foreign policy could be lished by an official without ance. President Truman himself not see the MacArthur star until Saturday, August 28, a conference scheduled to the report of Navy chief Admiral Forrest Sherman and Army General Joe Collins, foll their return from Tokyo. At this conference, Averell Ruhman handed the presi copy of the MacArthur stat Harriman, who is part own newsweek Magazine, had ed a copy of the press rele Harriman Has Explained Harriman told Truman thad carefully explained Am policy to MacArthur during recent Tokyo action spread like wildfire throughout the entire city and in 10 minutes California street from Montgomery to Sansome was literally blocked with human heads. The cause of the suspension is the locking up of coin by flood & O'Brien, the great rivals of Ralston and the Bank of California. Of course the suspension had its effect on other banks, and a run was made on several institutions, depositors drawing out their money as fast as they could get it. The impression is that we are on the eve of a tremendous panic and that there is sure to be a run on all banks, many of them will go under. It is the darkest day ever seen on California street, and it is believed that we are to see times in comparison to which Black Friday in New York will sink into insignificance. President Ralston stated that there was no doubt that they would be able to meet all obstacles. He further stated that about $1,400,000 had been paid out today. The presidents of all the savings banks met and passed resolutions requiring depositors to give the notice provided by by-laws before withdrawing their deposits. This is to counteract any attempt during the present excitement to make a run on the savings banks. The resolutions were signed by the Hibernia, The Savings and Loan Association, San Francisco Savings Union, Odd Fellows Bank, The German Savings & Loan, The French Savings & Loan, Humbolt Savings and Masonic Savings. Later, August 27—All banks in San Francisco are closed, also the Merchants Exchange. There will be no business done until the tide changes and the Bank of California has made their statement. All the Los Angeles banks are at ease and doing business satisfactorily. 50 Years Ago Capt. Victor Schumacher returned on Tuesday from San Jacinto where he spent three weeks Mrs. Fritz Ruhman departed some days ago for Brooklyn on a two months visit to relatives and friends. She will also visit with friends at Pittsburgh. The evening before her departure, the singing section of the Turn Verein tendered Mr. and Mrs. Ruhman a delightful serenade. Mrs. Konig returned some days ago from Los Angeles, where she has been visiting for some weeks. She was accompanied by Mrs. Luckel, who spent a few days in town renewing old acquaintances. W. H. Spurgeon of Santa Ana was nominated for the Assembly by the Democratic county convention at Fullerton yesterday. Daniel Baker who was regarded as a strong aspirant for the nomination was not named. Spurgeon was nominated by acclamation. 25 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sackett and their granddaughter, Miss Nellie Sackett, returned on Friday from a two months trip by motor, to the north, going as far as Seattle and visiting Portland, Eugene and other towns in Oregon, Lake Tahoe, Mount Hood and other places in California and a trip of several days in Nevada. Mr. Sackett says he saw many fine towns on his trip, but nothing to equal Anaheim. Mrs. Francis Pruitt has resumed her position as stenographer with Secretary Leo Sheridan at the water office. Her sister, Miss Louise Schmidt, who has been east for a number of weeks is expected to return home in the near future. Harriman handed the president copy of the MacArthur state Harriman, who is part owner newsweek Magazine, had ordered a copy of the press release. Harriman Has Explained Harriman told Truman that he had carefully explained Am policy to MacArthur during recent visit to Tokyo and there was no reason for him understanding it. Actually man's trip was largely inspired MacArthur's urge to occupy mosa with American troops his much-publicized hand-visit to Madame Chiang Kai-shek It was felt that Harriman diplomatically explain that United States must work thereto United Nations in rega Formosa and that if the States got embroiled in any flief with China the Korea would then last indefinitely the Chinese communists have an excuse to pour into Korea. Truman read the MacArthur statement and hit the ceil without asking Secretary A son or any others present their opinion, he directed retary of Defense Johnson order MacArthur to with his statement. "I am charged by the Condition with the sole responsibility for the conduct of our policy," he told those in the room. "There can only be one voice authority in expressing that we can't have two, or three people acting as official spies men. This is a fundamental." In the case of Formosa can not act unilaterally," president continued. "We continue our efforts through United Nations." THE ROCK FREE AMERICAN LABOR RED BACKWASH WASHINGTON — Here is a by-play account of what happened behind-the-scenes in the historic rebuke of General MacArthur by President Truman. First inking that MacArthur had sent a message to the Veterans of Foreign Wars on the delicate question of Formosa time on Thursday, August 24, when Carlton Kent of the Chicago Sun-Times queried Roger Rubby, State Department press relations office, as to whether the MacArthur statement had been cleared by the State Department. Rubby passed the query on to White House and the Defense Department, found that neither it either seen or heard of the MacArthur statement. It had been direct to newspapers in a personal letter on August 21 with release date for August 28. This is in direct violation of the White House directive laid down during the famous Henry Wallace-James Barnes row, after which was declared that no statement foreign policy could be published by an official without clearance. President Truman himself did see the MacArthur statement all Saturday, August 26, during conference scheduled to hear report of Navy chief Admiral Stresherman and Army chief general Joe Collins, following his return from Tokyo. At this conference, Averell Harman handed the president a copy of the MacArthur statement. Hariman, who is part owner of newsweek Magazine, had obtained a copy of the press release. Harriman Has Explained Harriman told Truman that he carefully explained American policy to MacArthur during his visit to Tokyo and that sage go unchallenged every diplomat throughout the world will believe—despite our denials—that MacArthur was really speaking for the White House. The diplomats will be convinced we're floating a trial balloon. No diplomat would ever imagine MacArthur would presume to make such a statement without the direct authority of the White House." Cable to MacArthur The cable which Secretary Johnson immediately dispatched to MacArthur read pretty much as follows: "The President of the United States directs that you immediately recall your statement addressed to the Veterans of Foreign Wars containing your views regarding Formosa. Your statement is not in accord with the established foreign policy of the United States as enunciated by the president." At this writing no reply has been received. Though Secretary Johnson has agreed with MacArthur on Formosa and once worked backstage to overrule the State Department on Formosa, other high military men in the Pentagon building now take a different view. This holds true of many in both the Army and Navy. MacArthur Once Banned Formosa In fact, Navy strategists are now recalling that during 1944 the Navy wanted MacArthur to occupy Formosa as a step toward bombing Japan and that MacArthur was vigorously opposed. Plans for taking over Formosa were worked out in great detail by Admiral Nimitz in 1944 and approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington. But MacArthur, who was determined to liberate his old love, the Philippines, overruled them. Chief reason, however, that U.S. military men disagree with MacArthur on Formosa is that the Joint Chiefs of Staff are now... Harriman Has Explained Harriman told Truman that he carefully explained American policy to MacArthur during his visit to Tokyo and that there was no reason for his misunderstanding it. Actually Harriman's trip was largely inspired by MacArthur's urge to occupy Formosa with American troops and to much-publicized hand-kissing it to Madame Chiang Kai-Shek. He was felt that Harriman could automatically explain that the United States must work through United Nations in regard to Formosa and that if the United States got embroiled in any conflict with China the Korean war would then last indefinitely. For Chinese communists would be an excuse to pour troops into Korea. Truman read the MacArthur statement and hit the ceiling without asking Secretary Acheson or any others present for their opinion, he directed Secretary of Defense Johnson to order MacArthur to withdraw his statement. He am charged by the Constitution with the sole responsibility for the conduct of our foreign policy," he told those in the room. There can only be one voice of morality in expressing that policy. Can't have two, or three or 10 people acting as official spokesmen. This is a fundamental rule. "In the case of Formosa, we do not act unilaterally," the president continued. "We must continue our efforts through the United Nations." If we let the MacArthur mes- Plans for taking over Formosa were worked out in great detail by Admiral Nimitz in 1944 and approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington. But MacArthur, who was determined to liberate his old love, the Philippines, overruled them. Chief reason, however, that U.S. military men disagree with MacArthur on Formosa is that the Joint Chiefs of Staff are now among the eagarest people in Washington to avoid any conflict which would cause Chinese troops to be sent into Korea. If Chinese troops stay out of Korea, there seems to be a pretty good chance the war will be over early this winter. But if the Chinese pour their vast hordes into Korea, the war could last almost indefinitely. On top of this, U.S. intelligence reported vitally important information to the Joint Chiefs of Staff last week — namely that Mao Tse-Tung and ex-Foreign Minister Molotov were at odds over Korea and Formosa. Molotov has been urging Mao, according to this information, to intervene in Korea and also invade Formosa. But Mao has hesitated. These reports indicated that the rift between Russia and China was increasing, and that there might be some chance of patching up relations between China and the United States. This information, of course, was not definite. No information out of China can be definite these days. But it seemed convincing enough so that top U.S. military men are most anxious not to cause any further rift with China now. Supporting this information is the fact that Mao had twice postponed the date for a Chinese invasion of Formosa, and now has postponed it a third time to September 15. loftier alone of some shipors who entirely overlook the man-dare matters of dough in the grower's pocket. Anyway there is a new concentrate plant in Southern California. It is over in San Fernando and the name is Paramount Citrus Assn. Inc. First organized in 1938 it has grown and through the efforts of Lew Ghiz, president and general manager, handles a big volume of citrus. A couple of years ago this concern saw the handwriting on the wall regarding frozen concentrate and made plants to "get in the net." With the aid of all of their own growers, who are stockholders in the company, a concentrating plant was added. Now in operation the plant is capable of handling 200 tons of oranges per day. Any plant which needs citrus fruit to operate is an asset to the industry. Whether it is owned by a corporation and a group of growers as this one is, by private enterprise, or by a co-operative the money involved must be worth it's hire or the whole thing is a poor risk. But however bad a capital risk if citrus is needed in the operation then it is a boon to the grower. And don't you ever let anyone tell you that these plants are not good for all. The only thing which can make them a poor risk is poor management. When any large commercial venture, whether it be privately owned or semi-privately owned, like a co-operative, is not showing a return sufficient to keep it's basic producers financially healthy then the management should be called on the carpet. You know what we mean. And don't you ever let anyone tell you that these plants are not good for all. The only thing which can make them a poor risk is poor management. When any large commercial venture, whether it be privately owned or semi-privately owned, like a co-operative, is not showing a return sufficient to keep it's basic producers financially healthy then the management should be called on the carpet. You know what we mean. But when you have plants, hungry for oranges, right in your own back yard then you will soon find representatives of those plants out to buy fruit. If you sell your fruit and let the buyer handle it, as is largely done in Florida, then the management of the buyer's outfit takes all the risk. The seller then has only to look to the raising of more and better crops. Too many California growers consign their fruit and then never even attempt to follow it through from the monetary return angle. In some outfits it is impossible to find out what is going on. But the grower, the most important man in the line, stands there, hats in hand, to receive what his hired hands so glibly hand him. Sounds like something out of Oliver Twist. But with a few more plants, the slack will be out of the California valencia deal and they all will have to step lively for the grower will be calling the tune. Remember this: in Florida the GROWER gets the DOUGH. ROMANS CUT WINE USE ROME (UP)—Wine growers of the Rome area say that average per person consumption of wine in the province has dropped more than 60 per cent since World War II and have asked the government for a drastic reduction in taxes. The request is being considered by the provincial council. TONIGHT Friday, Sept. 1 5:00 P.M.
