HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A few days ago Mrs. F. P. F. Temple stated that if elected county treasurer he would take the balance of the unsubscribed stock of the Anaheim Hotel Association. At the present writing returns indicate that he is elected. Although we regret Mr. Rowan's defeat, the promise of Mr. Temple, which we have no doubt will be religiously kept, acts as a balm to our lacerated feelings and has about the same effect as a bottle of Mother Winslow's soothing syrup on a fractious baby. WASHINGTON—While exposing the padded payrolls of GOP Congressman Parnell Thomas of New Jersey and Democrat Victor Wickersham of Oklahoma I have overlooked another quiet operator in the Congressional kickback circle. He is Congressman Walter Brehm, Republican, of Millers- Temple stated that if elected county treasurer he would take the balance of the unsubscribed stock of the Anaheim Hotel Association. At the present writing returns indicate that he is elected. Although we regret Mr. Rowan's defeat, the promise of Mr. Temple, which we have no doubt will be religiously kept, acts as a balm to our lacerated feelings and has about the same effect as a bottle of Mother Winslow's soothing syrup on a fractious baby. It is estimated that there will be from one hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand sacks of corn raised in the Los Nietos valley this season. 50 Years Ago The Ladies Air society of the Methodist church will hold a social in the parlors of the Del Cambo hotel on Saturday evening, Sept. 15. One dime including ice break and cake. Everybody invited. 25 Years Ago The injuries received by Edward Martin, 4 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Martin of 116 North Clementine street, who was knocked down Wednesday by a car driven by A. V. Wheeler, will not prove fatal, physicians at the Anaheim sanitarium report. An X-ray taken at the hospital soon after the accident disclosed the little fellow suffering from a fractured skull, and some doubt was expressed as to the possibility of his recovering. The child was playing with some other youngsters on the sidewalk on North Lemon street and ran out suddenly into the path of the Wheeler machine. Had Wheeler been travelling at an excessive rate of speed the child would have been killed instantly. Only a few minutes after a rope had been stretched across Center street, at the Los Angeles intersection Monday morning, a machine coming from the east bumped into it. A lamppost on the SQR corner to which one end of the rope was anchored, was jerked from its moorings and smashed. It was a total loss not only the globes, but the cast iron part being broken in pieces. The block between Los Angeles and Lemon had been roped off in preparation for the American Legion street dance. WASHINGTON—While exposing the padded payrolls of GOP Congressman Parnell Thomas of New Jersey and Democrat Victor Wickersham of Oklahoma I have overlooked another quiet operator in the Congressional kickback circle. He is Congressman Walter Brehm, Republican, of Millersville, Ohio, who has been performing some lucrative sleight-of-hand with his office payroll which the voters are entitled to know about. For three years Brehm carried an elderly lady, Mrs. Clara Soliday, on Uncle Sam's payroll, requiring her to kick back approximately one-half her salary to him. Then, when she broke her arm at the age of 72, she was summarily dismissed, and later the Congressman's son was hired in her place. What secret salary arrangements exist between father and son can not be ascertained. What many voters do not realize is that salaries paid to a Congressman's staff are not paid by him, but by all the taxpayers. They are paid for the purpose of helping the Congressman handle the affairs of his constituents, answer mail, and attend to 101 different problems put up to him by people back home whom he represents. To handle these matters, each member of Congress is given government money to pay a large office staff. And if he diverts this money to his own pocket, it is, in effect, cheating the government and the taxpayers. This was why Parnell Thomas was sent to jail and why Congressman Wickersham of Oklahoma is being investigated by the FBI. Most members of Congress in my opinion are high-type citizens who do not fudge their payrolls; some of them, such as Senator Lehman of New York, even dip into their own pockets to pay for extra office help. A Kiss There’s been quite a dispute as to whether Vice-President Barkley did or did not kiss Miss America. Some newspapers reported he did; others reported that he didn’t. However, here is what actually happened. When Miss America — pretty Yolande Betbeze of Mobile, Ala., called on the vice-president, he declined to kiss her for the photographers. After the newsmen cleared out, however, Miss America kissed and told. She confessed blushingly that Barkley had smacked her 'right on the lips." Barkley kept reporters guessing, however, by denying that whole thing to reporter Milt Benliner of the Scripps-Howard Press. But in the privacy of Senate Majority Leader Scott Lucas' office the Veep was chided by Lucas and asked for the truth. With slight blush Barkley admitted that osculation. "And she didn't flinch, either chuckled the Veep. Synthetic Rubber Politics It was probably not love Louey Johnson so much as any prehension of the hard-hitting Senate watchdog committee that brought the abrupt resignation of Hubert E. Howard as chairman of the Munitions Board. Only a few insiders know it, but the committee was all set to push the sale of government-owned synthetic rubber plants. He was scheduled to appear before Sen Lyndon Johnson's watchdogs at 10 a.m., Tuesday, when he suddenly resigned Monday afternoon. The committee's first report scorched Howard and his Muritions Board for lack of "a firm aggressive" rubber program. What the report does not reveal is that when Chairman Lyndon Johnson was moving heaven and earth behind the scenes to stop the sale of a synthetic rubber plant at Akron, Howard was urging his sale. Johnson and Truman A friend of ex-Secretary of Defense Louey Johnson dropped to see the president recently, and the conversation drifted around Johnson's resignation. That durn sign again... A few weeks ago the Anaheim Gazetteer, in this newspaper, made reference to the slightly beat-up sign at the eastern entrance to the main street of Anaheim. Not only is the sign almost impossible to read but it has been the target of a few boys flying low who have let go with beer cans. You should see that part of the sign which says something about Anahem's "beautiful parks"!!! Anyway, the City Council took due note of the condition of the sign and asked the Chamber of Commerce to suggest the design of a new one. The Chamber came up with the one you see on this page. We put the proposed design on our desk and proceeded to look at it daily for several days. Somehow or another, for us, it just didn't seem to catch the mood or spirit of Anaheim. It may be just the thing Ana-heim should have. But it doesn't ring a bell with us. Now, we hesitate to be critical of these things because we just aren't artistic enough to come up with a better idea. If we would ever be asked for a suggestion on what the sign should look like, however, we would come up with something like this: There are several sign designers and other artists n Anaheim who might enjoy a chance at competing for the business of mailing or designing the signs by coming forth with an idea. If a public announcement were made of such a quest perhaps it not only would stimulate interest in "Anaheim signs" but might produce a humdinger of a design. If nothing better shows up then "Anaheim-Industrial Center of Orange County" could be signed, sealed, and delivered. Hal Boyle KOREA (27) — Some take two wars to get to general. And a few I've met—doubt if I could understand if they fought through all the or eternity and I were conto report each of their battles. They are those who one war only as a stepping from which to leap to a war and win another star. Are generals who basically regard an Army as some protect a country. They are a nation as something to send an Army. There aren't many like the American Army but ignorance I once thought I were. I thought an private heroes and every general frustrated Napoleon who yearned to put all mankind form in an army under his command so he could lead defensive war against the stars. It was the Second World War and an acquaintance with Nelson Bradley that taught a general can be brilliant in battle and still warm man and kind—that he can absolute command over sands of men and remain and questioning of heart. And one of the few after days I shall remember any pleasure about this bit note to world peace call Korean war is that it gave chance to understand another general better. He is Maj. Gen. Hobart commander of the First Division. I certainly had bad wrong in the last war. Miss America — pretty Betbeze of Mobile, Ala.— on the vice-president, he to kiss her for the phoers. After the newsmen out, however, Miss Amered and told. She confessed only that Barkley had her 'right on the lips." They kept reporters guess-wever, by denying the timing to reporter Milt Berthe Scripps-Howard Press. In the privacy of Senate Leader Scott Lucas' offVeep was chided by Lucas need for the truth. With a rush Barkley admitted the consider she didn't flinch, either," and the Veep. Athletic Rubber Politics is probably not love of Johnson so much as apion of the hard-hitting watchdog committee that is the abrupt resignation of E. Howard as chairman funitions Board. A few insiders know it, but committee was all set to put on the hot coals for push-sale of government-owned rubber plants. He was led to appear before Sen. Johnson's watchdogs at Tuesday, when he suddesigned Monday afternoon committee's first report of Howard and his Muniward for lack of "a firm aggrand" rubber program. The report does not reveal when Chairman Lyndon was moving heaven and behind the scenes to stop of a synthetic rubber plant on, Howard was urging its Johnson and Truman end of ex-Secretary of Deouey Johnson dropped in the president recently, andversation drifted around to its resignation. "I had to let him go," the presiden­t said. "He's an egomaniac. He's psychopathic. He would tell untruths." "It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do." Truman continued. "He sat down here, and I told him he would have to quit. He just said, 'I don't know what to say.' I told him, 'there's nothing for you to say. You will just have to quit'." Gen. Dean's Memory The president added that he knew the whole story about Johnson's knifing Acheson and playing footsie with the Republicans. A project of friendship for Korea in memory of a gallant general who died in action will be the theme of a reunion of U.S. Veterans of the Korean War. The U.S. Armed Forces in Korea association, composed of the 200,000 G.I.'s who served in the Korean occupation, will gather at Fort Meade, Md., October 7, at which time a plan will be launched to help educate the children of Americans who died fighting in Korea, plus Korean students who want to study in this country. The scholarships will be dedicated to the late Maj. Gen. William Dean. Merry-Go-Round Only two major cities are actually putting their civil-defense plans into action and working on the physical protection or dispersal of vital facilities—St. Paul and Pittsburgh. Several others, including Seattle, San Antonio and Baltimore, are drawing plans ready for use when the need is more urgent . . . The Voice of American receives 29,000 fan letters each month from all over the world . . . Congressman Jacob Javits of New York wants more money for America's T-bomb (truth bomb). Says Javits: "The T-bomb is as potent a peace weapon as the H-bomb is a war weapon." . . The FBI questioned 500 persons, alerted its officers in Newark, Albany, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, New Haven and New York City in order to trace Henry Grunewald, the long-missing Colony Quips Now we will try to get back on some sort of track that may have a small degree of constructive criticism, even though taken from the experience of other citrus producing areas. From what we have heard from Finley and Prizer, no doubt with the blessing of higher up Exchange "brass," it seems to us that what they want uptown is not honest criticism but blind acquiescence. If their actions, beliefs, philosophy, motives or anything else are even questioned then one had better get ready for a "curve" that might slip over the outside corner. Every Exchange orange grower is assessed around seven cents a packed box for advertising. This is in our way of thinking just about the smartest thing this big organization does. We would be willing to pay in two or three times that amount for a real selling campaign. Properly done, money used in this way will return the grower many times the amount spent. If any grower needs proof of that statement then he needs help—mental. The only kick we have with the Exchange, in the advertising department, is that they do not seem to know how to spend the money for greatest returns. (Please excuse the use of the word "greatest.") The stuffy, one track mind, antiquated copy the Exchange has let go out under the name of "14.-500 co-operating growers" really makes us a little sick in the middle. An advertising agency which would let that sort of copy out ought to be called by a different name. If you ran a dairy would you make all your customers come out absolute command over sands of men and remain busy and questioning of heart. And one of the few things after days I shall remember any pleasure about this bit note to world peace call Korean war is that it gags chance to understand another general better. He is Maj. Gen. Hobart commander of the First Division. I certainly had hied wrong in the last war. I knew him then as the Staff for Gen. George PaFrench Morocco, Sicily France.

The FBI questioned 500 persons, alerted its officers in Newark, Albany, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, New Haven and New York City in order to trace Henry Grunewald, the long-missing wire-tap witness. Meanwhile Grunewald hit out 50 miles from Washington in the horse-and-hound country around The Plains, Virginia. General MacArthur will soon reopen the secret underground headquarters used by the Japanese Army and Navy during the last war. MacArthur wants to have these elaborate communications centers and map rooms available in the event of war with Russia. They're carved out of the cliffs around Tokyo and the important naval base of Kyushu. U.S. Ambassador Bruce has warned the French government that 30 communists are still working in the French Atomic energy project. They will have to be fired, Ambassador Bruce warned, if France wants any secret information from the United States. YOUR VOTE COUNTS One single vote gave statehood to California, Idaho, Oregon, Texas and Washington. By one single vote in the House of Representatives, the Selective Service Act of World War II was passed. Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams and Rutherford B. Hayes were elected President of the United States by the margin of one electoral vote.

And a few I've met—why I stub if I could understand them: they fought through all the wars eternity and I were condemned report each of their battles. They are those who regard one war only as a stepping stone from which to leap to another war and win another star. They are generals who basically don't regard an Army as something to protect a country. They regard a nation as something to support an Army. There aren't many like that in the American Army but in my honorance I once thought they all were. I thought all privates were heroes and every general was a illustrated Napoleon who secretly learned to put all mankind in uniform in an army under his own command so he could launch an offensive war against the planet wars. It was the Second World War and an acquaintance with Omar Nelson Bradley that taught me general can be brilliantly able in battle and still warmly human and kind—that he can hold absolute command over thousands of men and remain humble and questioning of heart. And one of the few things in later days I shall remember with my pleasure about this bitter footnote to world peace called the Korean war is that it gave me a chance to understand another fine general better. He is Maj. Gen. Hobart R. Gay, commander of the First Cavalry Division. I certainly had him tabbed wrong in the last war. If You Can Learn to Write... ...You Can Learn to Draw This is another of a series of illustrated art stories prepared for Gazette readers by Don May, Anaheim's nationally known designer and illustrator. The "lessons" are from a lecture Mr. May delivered to Anaheim Girl Scouts at Camp San Antonio, Mt. Baldy. SKETCHING A. FINDING YOUR PICTURE B. MEASURING: C. FORM: AND NOW WE START TO SKETCH: FINDING OUR PICTURE: We will sketch anything we like, not what our teacher, leader, parents, or friends like. It doesn't matter whether it is good or not... who's to know... the critics don't agree on Biggso... and we have to wait a hundred years after the death AND NOW WE START TO SKETCH: FINDING OUR PICTURE: We will sketch anything we like, not what our teacher, leader, parents, or friends like. It doesn't matter whether it is good or not... who's to know... the critics don't agree on Picasso... and we have to wait a hundred years after the death of an artist to tell whether he is a fine artist or not. So DRAW WHAT YOU LIKE AND THE WAY YOU LIKE IT! You find your picture much like you do with your camera... thru a finder. Use your hands for a finder as shown in the sketch above. MEASURING: You can take your pencil and hold it at arms length and measure how high the tree is (two pencil lengths, for example). Then measure the mountain (maybe one pencil length). FORM: Don't hold the pencil like you were writing with it. Hold it like you hold your lipstick or your jackknife (kind-of-sideways) and let it loosely slide over the paper. That makes it fun, rather than work. FORM: Now sketch roughly (but lightly) in your picture... Just the big general outlines. VALUE: Lay in the value and REMEMBER THIS: The SKY is light because the sun is up there. The GROUND is next because the sun shines down on it, and the TREES (or all upright objects) are dark because they stand against the light. NOW PUT IN YOUR COLORS... and it doesn't matter what color you use as long as your value and form are right. For a ball can be any color. The sky and the earth can be any color. They change color from sunrise to sunset. And if you watch them closely you'll see a most beautiful (television) show, and one that is forever new. It out so much dough for your retirement then you would simply kick out his cow and name his own rice. The fact that the man who bought you the hay to feed the stock had to have more money for his product would make no difference to you — if you only worked there. But if you were a stockholder the music would change—tast. You would tell your customers there would be a minimum price on, say, $5.50 a box, or no sale. You would make cheese out of your product, and at least get parity. If the market went up and you started to get good money for your product in the old way you would not sit down and take a nap. You would go right ahead and try to keep up with your advanced neighbor and even go him one better. That would probably be a little too much nor the California grower to even ask but sooner or later is going to. Gay once commanded a troop of horse cavalry in Mexico as a young lieutenant and he knows how the men feel. Once I met him almost speechless with anger. He slashed at a bridge railing with the steel-bladed, leather-covered riding crop many old-time cavalrymen still carry. An officer moving up to counterattack had over-cautiously ordered his battle-loaded Doughboys to dismount from their vehicles at the base of a long hill instead of riding them to the top. "He ought to know better than that," said Gay. "They can't climb that hill without getting tired, and tired men can't fight their best." There are three other pictures of the general I like to remember. There was the time he gave the crispest battle summary I ever heard. Looking up past the shears of a Korean barber who was giving him an outdoor haircut in his command post, he said in his mid-west twang: "Well, one enemy division is trying to surround us and we are surrounding another enemy division, and right now I don't know who has got who by the tail." There was the titte he borrowed a shotgun and joined a task force from his own division in the breakthrough at Tabu. He knocked out an enemy soldier on the ride. He wouldn't talk about it but he looked pleased as a schoolboy that "the old man" had been able to show his soldiers he still could handle the job at their level. And there was the time he told me: "You know some people have an idea professional soldiers like and want war. That isn't true. I have a son piloting a fighter plane over here. I know what war means." That may be why he is the kind of general he is.
