MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Gambling: always a hot issue . . . One of the most hotly argued measures on the California ballot November 7 is Proposition No. 6—the so-called "legalized gambling proposition." Proposition No. 6, a long, exceedingly complex initiative Constitutional amendment, has as its prime purpose the "legalization" of all-out gambling in California under the control of a five-man commission, its promoters. The promoters would be written into office by passage of this "Pension and Welfare Funding act." After deducting heavy administration costs, remaining funds the state derived from gambling—if The act also provides that should the commission hot have enough money to conduct its affairs and meet obligations from gambling revenue that any deficit shall be paid out of the state treasury. The commission would have absolute power over all gambling, determining from among license applicants who could and who could not operate. The commission would be empowered to run its own gambling spots if it wished and apparently the individual commissioners could operate gambling establishments for their own profit. WASHINGTON—It is no sensible to get a reasonably accurate picture of what the Kremlin mind when it invaded and the impact our victors had on Kremlin thinking picture comes from intelligence pieced together various parts of the world while its accuracy is not corrupted, it is probably reasonable correct. At the time of the Korean invasion, the Kremlin was convinced that the United States would resist. This conviction came from the Soviet Embassy inington and was unwittingly firmed by the top U.S.A. to South Korea, Col. Jo Baird, through his Korean press, Kim Soo Im. Through unsuspecting Baird, the Mata Hari learned of various cret directives, all showing had written off Korea and o plan to return in case of Korean attack. Subsequent events indicated Colonel Baird may have done country a great favor. For, banking on American and difficult mobilizing the United Nations, the Kremlin had prepared series of "revolts" in other countries to follow the Korean attack Formosa, Tibet, French China, civil war in North America an invasion of Yugoslavia Greece, an Azerbaijan attack. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Savin has returned from San Francisco and advertises a great reduction in the prices of his stock. W. M. Bailey has rented the place of David Davies near town and will become a citizen among us. On Thursday an artesian well was struck on Gabe Allen's ranch near Newport at a depth of 161 feet. The flow is steadily increasing and it is said to be one of the four hours. The trip he pronounces a most beautiful one, the phosphorus in the water at night making the prow of the ship seem as if it were plowing through fire. Sharks abound in the islands and he recounted the loss of one man who slipped from a rocky promontory and was eaten by sharks. Some days afterward, a 14-foot shark was killed some miles away from the scene of the accident and on being opened, the man's leg and foot were found to be in his stomach. Larsen is employed in Korean attack. Subsequent events indicate Colonel Baird may have done country a great favor. For, banking on America and the difficult mobilising the United Nations, the Kremlin had prepared series of "revolts" in other countries to follow the Korean attacks. Formosa, Tibet, French China, civil war in North Korea, an invasion of Yugoslavia Greece, an Azerbaijan attack Iran, and a drive to push Allies out of West Germany. If these could be accomplished the Kremlin planners were convinced that anti-communist errments in France ad Italy fall and the history of Chelovakia would be repeated.

The 14 men in the Politburo never expected anything like and the Soviet Embassy in Beijing was ordered to report immediately as to what went wrong. This upset threw other moves off schedule.

Hence the friendly speeches, the rumors of a B-Truman meeting and the that Vishinsky will attend American football game.

The Synod will be in session five or six days. A bottle of water has been received by Dr. Hardin from the new artesian well of Dr. Fulton on the Santa Gertrudes. The water is strongly impregnated with mineral and the taste is not unpleasant. The San Diego Union says: The rainfall of Tuesday was thirty-six hundredths of an inch. It was enough to make the grass sprout everywhere, but unless we have occasional showers hereafter during the fall, the sun will be likely to cut off the tender shoots. 50 Years Ago H. P. Larson has returned from Honolulu with his family after convalescing in the islands for 17 months. He made the passage on a Norwegian tramp steamer the voyage from Honolulu to San Francisco cosuming 10 days.

PUTTING IT ON THE LINE WASHINGTON—It is now possible to get a reasonably accurate picture of what the Kremlin had in mind when it invaded Korea and the impact our victory has on Kremlin thinking. This picture comes from intelligence information pieced together from various parts of the world and, while its accuracy is not copper-tested, it is probably reasonably correct. At the time of the Korean invasion, the Kremlin was convinced that the United States would not resist. This conviction came partly from the Soviet Embassy in Washington and was unwittingly conceived by the top U.S. Adviser in South Korea, Col. John E. Bird, through his Korean mississippi, Kim Soo Im. Through the suspecting Baird, the Korean dicta Hari learned of various secret directives, all showing we were written off Korea and did not return in case of North Korean attack. Subsequent events indicate that oneel Baird may have done his country a great favor. For banking on Americanertia and the difficulty of mobilizing the United Nations, the Kremlin had prepared a series of "revolts" in other areas to follow the Korean attack—armosa, Tibet, French IndoChina, civil war in North India, invasion of Yugoslavia and Greece, an Azerbaijan attack on Upset Timetable What upset the Kremlin time table was the sudden decision of President Truman to order U.S. ships into Korea plus Secretary Meson's well-planned maneuver to get U.N. Security Council approval for our counterattack. From reliable sources, we know that Kremlin was dumbfounded. The 14 men in the Politburo had expected anything like this, the Soviet Embassy in Washington was ordered to report immediately as to what went wrong. His upset threw other Soviet vessels off schedule. Communist ships, it will be recalled, were all to invade both Formosa and Goslavia, but the attacks were aimed for reconsideration of strategy. Next From Kremlin? What will happen next is hard predict. However, two factors must be worth examining. Because Kremlin's intelligence was so regarding Korea, they appear to be worried about trusting intelligence reports from other countries. Also, it appears certain that current peace front which lik and Vishinsky are waging Lake Success is aimed to full back to appeasement. The last thing the Russians want is an alert, heavily armed USA. Hence the friendlier ceches, the rumors of a Stalin-man meeting and the talk at Vishinsky will attend an American football game. Meanwhile there will be riots in exploratory probings in Germany, probable uprisings in Azerijan, plus communist successes Indo-China. If we appease, the Kremlin will back to its old bulldozing. If we continue tough, there should be a fade change in Kremlin policy though this would be a miracle attack in the hands of a charming socialite who got his job only because he was Symington's brother-in-law. Jerry Wadsworth now acting head of civilian defense, is a tall, amiable, teddy-bear sort of individual, who at the age of 50 has made no career for himself, but happens to have two potent relatives: (1) His father, GOP Congressman James Wadsworth of New York; and (2) his brother-in-law, Democrat Stuart Symington, former Secretary for Air and now head of the National Security Resources board. From his father he gets a boost from the Republicans, and from his brother-in-law he gets help from the Democrats. In fact, shortly after Symington came to Washington as War Assets administrator, likable, inexperienced brother - in law Jerry turned up as his assistant later, when Symington was given the Security Board, his brother-in-law came to work under him in civilian defense. Now, with the resignation of Paul Larson as chief of civilian defense, Wadsworth is left in acting charge of the job once held by dynamic Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York. And this is an atomic age! Hal Boyle NORTH KOREA—(F)—Here is what it is like above the 38th Parallel in North Korea. An exhausted South Korean soldier sleeps in a muddy ditch, his unheeding head pillowed in the yellow dust of the roadway. Two lines of bone-weary South Korean doughboys limp past over the stones and ruts of the road he has trudged along for more of the roadway. He sleeps on unheeding, then awakens, paws at his drowsy eyes, yawns and shuffles on. He looks indifferently down at the wreckage of a heavily loaded truck that has just plunged off the road and overturned in a paddy field. The driver is crawling out holding a dangling, bleeding hand which looks so shattered one knows it must be amputated. But this is an Oriental army. The soldier, with troubles of his own, lowers his eyes to the dust and keeps on shuffling. Some distance back he also passed with equal indifference a large sign lettered in a language he doesn't understand. The language is English and the sign says: "You are crossing the 38th Parallel. Courtesy of the Third Rok (republic of Korea) Division. We were first." On the map the 38th Parallel is a special neat straight black line. But as the Rok doughboy plods on north beyond the frontier he sees no painted demarcation or chalkmark across the winding road. To his right is the peaceful blue Sea of Japan where an American destroyer swims lazily. To his left are valleys of ripening rice and rugged, yellow eroded hills with stunted, wind-twisted pine trees and cut by dry torouous ravines. The hills also are scarred by army-dug ditches and pockmarked with well camouflaged empty concrete bunkers and pillboxes. Fun - Fellowship Hal Boyle NORTH KOREA—UP) Here is what it is like above the 38th Parallel in North Korea. An exhausted South Korean soldier sleeps in a muddy ditch, his unheeding head pillowed in the yellow dust of the roadway. Two lines of bone-weary South Korean doughboys limp past over the stones and ruts of the road he has trudged along for more than a fortnight from deep in South Korea. The stones have worn to tatters the rubber-soled shoes of some soldiers and they have replaced them with peasant slippers of rice straw. But they manage a sweat-stained grin as they pass. A battered truck wheezes by—so decrepit it could be held together only by the morale of the men in it. It looks like a sardine can on wheels. But troops jammed in it are singing, shouting and waving small black, red and white flags of the Korean republic. The marching troops look at the riders enviously, then turn their heads to the yellow road and break into the shuffling trot typical of their infantry. Behind the column slowly stumbles a line of civilian laborers. Each is burdened with a wooden pack to which is tied a fresh cut log almost as wide as the road and more than six inches thick. The logs are used to bridge streams. They look heavy enough to break the back of a longshoreman but the Korean workers apparently can tote them for miles. And behind them for hours come soldier stragglers—men too worn out to keep the killing pace, middle-aged men limping painfully, young wounded men with blood-stained bandages on cheeks, arms and legs. But they want to catch up with the column, for there are no kitchen trucks in this army to wheel back the rice ration. Several trucks roll by within inches of the head of the soldier at the edge. LINE Co. K. Guardsmen DONALD SEBOURN JIM KORDAHL Colony Quips One of these days we are going to get off of this orange deal and surprise everybody, ourselves most of all. But this sort of thing no more than raises its head in our brain (?) than some one of the "hired help" jobs off, seeking to mislead growers, and we start to boil up again. For today the above is simply by way of introduction. We have some very interesting stuff for you but must not lose sight of the overall picture. The "hired help" can wait. We are interested in the overall valencia picture, more participation by the grower in the handling of his crop, more net money to the grower by using more business science and hard-hitting know-how in putting grease on the wheels of our sales effort. As every Californian knows, or That is how the 38th Parallel looks to the individual South Korean infantryman and it is doubtful if he even knows he has crossed the line. The men nearest to war usually know the least about it—except its dangers. should realize by this time, our citrus industry is lagging away behind the Florida industry. Last year we were beaten outrageously, often Mr. Wilson signed the "famous cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid. At the time this contract was signed the Minute Maid organization was paying as high as $61 a ton on the tree for Florida fruit. For what little they have had out of California they have paid $45 a ton, at the packing house, and a couple of weeks ago the Exchange with the help of outside prodding, raised the price to $50 a ton at the packing house for fruit going 120 pounds of solids per ton. Now this is fruit above the average for this year. For comparable fruit the Florida grower averaged about twice as much net in his pocket. The Exchange says the Florida grower will not do as well this coming season. We hope he gets more. Not because it makes them look bad, either, but because it means citrus is worth money when SOLD. The Exchange also has told its growers there would be a great carry-over this year of Florida frozen concentrate. They are the only ones who have helped upon this theme. They seem worried. Florida is not. We will prove this by quoting Mr. Fox, president of Minute Maid, who said in a report to stockholders: "our present inventory of orange concentrate may be barely enough to keep our markets in full supply until the 1960-61 pack starts in Florida." This is not the statement of a crackpot newspaper, but the formal report of the president of a large corporation to his stockholders. He does say in this report that their sales of grapefruit and grapefruit and orange blend "have been disappointing." This is simply too bad for the grapefruit producer. To the valencia grower it means nothing, except that his valencias have better consumer acceptance. We have said again and again that we are almost wholly interested in the valencia—which some people call the swepchild of the exchange. We want full recognition of this great summer fruit. We would like to see the same valencia featured in Exchange ads during the 'summer'. At present they are not even mentioned. Navels are mentioned in the fall advertising as having "no seeds" but the spring and summer campaign only asked the question "what is fresh orange juice?" It is our belief that anyone who thought that sort of thing would sell oranges should have his head examined. Here is one that is no worse: California valencias give you natural vitamins with taste and go-power thrown in free—in or out of a can. We'll go quietly.
