MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Industry, Light and Heavy ... In their work on the proposed rezoning ordinance for Anaheim, the city planners have used the terms "light industry" and "heavy industry" a gobb deal. The lists of light and heavy industrial installations have been read to Anaheimers more than once by the planners at public hearings on the proposed rezoning of the city. Yet indications are that many residents of the city are not yet sure just what each particular term involves. And on the eve of final review of the zoning proposals by the city council. Tonight the proposed zoning ordinance goes before the city fathers as the planning commission's official recommendation. fabricated building; mills, planting; motion picture studios; paint mixing (not employing a boiling process, above-surface thinner storage limited to 200 gallons, no tank farm); plastic, fabrication from; poultry, slaughter (subject to review and special-use permit); paper manufacture; public utility service yards or electrical receiving and/or transforming stations; rubber, fabrication of products made from finished rubber; sheet metal shop; shoe manufacture; soap manufacture (cold mix only); stable or riding academy; stone monument works; storage space for transit and transportation equipment except freight classification yards; textile man- heimers more than once by the planners at public hearings on the proposed rezoning of the city. Yet indications are that many residents of the city are not yet sure just what each particular term involves. And on the eve of final review of the zoning proposals by the city council. Tonight the proposed zoning ordinance goes before the city fathers as the planning commission's official recommendation. Nothing conclusive will be done tonight. Councilmen have to study the ordinance and hold a final public hearing. But presentation of the ordinance to the council indicates the beginning of the final step toward making the ordinance stick as law. There have been two public hearings on rezoning. There will be, unless the need is seen for additional ones, one more. Then pending council approval, the rezoning takes place. So that its readers will know which industry is going where, the Gazette herewith presents planning commissioners' interpretations of the terms heavy and light industry as indicated in the zoning proposal going before the council tonight.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago As the hotel enterprise was inaugurated for the purpose of drawing to our town a class of people whose presence among us would be a source of gain, and as the Board of Directors are men of public spirit and enterprise, we would respectfully call their attention to the fact that even the magnificent structure which they propose to build will not be a sufficient inducement to keep strangers among us. We submit that the deplorable condition of our streets is a drawback which even the hotel, "with all modern conveniences," will not be able to overcome. Therefore we would ask that the Board, in their capacity of public-spirited men, take into consideration the ways and means necessary to render our streets less disagreeable to the pedestrian and more pleasing to the eyes of those with whom cleanliness is next to Godliness. As a matter of fact we believe that an improvement in the condition of our streets is of equal if not greater importance than the completion of the hotel. Somebody possessing a fine sense of humor, has ornamented the neck of a particularly ugly dog with a lady's discarded watch. Supervisor Evey and Mr. Olden have gone out today to locate the site of the bridge that is to be built over Coyote creek. 50 Years Ago Miss Mable Middleham and Miss Lexon Roberts entertained the I.V.C.'s at their home Thursday afternoon.

Eddie has recently returned from Boston where he studied at the conservatory of music for two years and is now one of the most accomplished musicians in Southern California. He will return soon to Boston to further prosecute his studies. He owns a musical family and has students of a high order. The residence of G. W. Sherwood at Fullerton was destroyed by fire on Saturday morning last, together with most of its contents. The tank, tank house, windmill, barn and all its contents were destroyed. The loss is said to be about 1000. Mr. Sherwood will rebuild. He owns one of the finest walnut hards in the county and a handmade residence will arise from the bones of the old. 25 Years Ago An enjoyable card party was recently given by the Altar society of Boniface church at the Parish堂. Eighty guests were present and engaged in the games. The first prize was won by Mrs. Josh Carroll, second by Mrs. Ferand Heying, third by Mrs. C. A. Moll and the consolation by Mrs. Molt.

Lagor sued for $16,800 damages because of a collision near Anaheim early two years ago, but accepted $275 in settlement, amount of damages to his car. Miss Alta Lague who was injured in the accident was awarded $1000 damages by a jury some months ago. The Cypress farm center exhibit the county fair last week has moved there at the Southern California fair this week as repreentative of Orange county. While ing its identity as the Cypress exhibit it wins a distinctive honor in Cypress in being selected as county's best. The exhibit was signed entirely by the people of press district and is to be conculated upon being judged worthy of being sent to other cities in the Southland as repreenting Orange county's best effort. (Editor's Note — The Senate time committee has given numerous hints that American one was dominated by the Mafia. Following up these hints, new Pearson has dug into this mysterious organization and in its and other columns will sing to light the names of the Mafia, leaders who rule the criminal world of the United States.) WASHINGTON—A total of 50 men control most of the big tickets in the United States. All members of the mysterious Mafia and all but one are either man-born or of Italo-American origin. Various statements have been made by the Kelauver Crime com-ference regarding the power of the Mafia, but few people realize its tremendous power or that its head, Lucy Lucien, is a summer home at one of the beaches near Santa Cruz. Who would ever suspect him of being a feared member of the Mafia? Of course he has a proverbial secrecy and they were afraid to trust their secrets to men who talked too much. This rule is no longer complied with strictly and Americans born of Sicilian extraction and even others are admitted. With the advent of Prohibition the Mafia woke up to the realization that there was money to be made easily. Those who weren't making easy money became jealous of those who did and a serious rift took place. It lasted some two years, during which many killings were perpetrated — brother plottting against brother, dollars supplanting the original brotherly love. Finally, pacification was brought about. In Legitimate Business From that time, the Mafia has cornered every racket promising easy money — narcotics, pinball machines, slot machines, prostitution, gambling of every form and description. The Mafia has also managed to monopolize legitimate industries. The fruit and produce market is controlled by the Mafia. Who has not heard of Terranova, the artichoke king? The M brothers in Pittsburgh were absolute and feared czars of the wholesale fruit and vegetable business and whenever someone tried to operate in competition with them, there was invariably a fruit store blown up. The olive oil business in California is controlled by the Mafia and so is most of the tomato-paste industry. The fact that most members of the Mafia in this country are camouflaged by legitimate business makes it difficult to tell who is who. Take for instance 'S. L.' of Sacramento—an old man of ingratiating manners, soft-spoken, owner of an olive oil factory and vast olive fields, with a summer home at one of the beaches near Santa Cruz. Who would ever suspect him of being a feared member of the Mafia? Of course he has a proverbial secrecy and they were afraid to trust their secrets to men who talked too much. This rule is no longer complied with strictly and Americans born of Sicilian extraction and even others are admitted. With no weapon but his courage Second Lt. Joseph Elbert Hicks, a 29-year-old platoon leader from Cobden, Ill., stoically endured every hardship rather than surrender. "I would rather have starved," he said grimly. And perhaps he would have starved except for a loyal young South Korean who brought him food and saved his life by moving him from one mountain hideaway to another whenever danger of capture grew near. For security reasons this native patriot cannot be identified now. But he risked the lives of himself and his wife and six small children to help the American. "He is the only reason I am alive today." said Hicks gratefully. "I had to depend on his thinking and initiative rather than my own. And we could talk to each other only by gestures and by drawing pictures on the ground with sticks." Hicks, who served with the Marines in the last war, looked like a storybook hermit when he came down out of the hills after nearly 10 weeks. His black hair fell to his shoulders. He had a thick matted beard. And only thin tatters of his fatigue uniform still clung to his 6-foot-1-inch frame. The first six days of his ordeal he had nothing at all to eat. The rest of the time he had lived almost entirely on rice. But he made a rueful discovery: "Why, I've gained weight!" In the early hours of July 29 Lieutenant Hicks and his platoon were in a pitifully small force assigned the impossible task. There were so many enemies through that he had gone feet before he had to this time under a road pile. "It overhung a ditto Hicks," and I sat him without food for six o'clock. I kind of lost track of him finally emerged from enemy traffic slowed was no full moon to keep travelling at night. He fell while trying to road. He crawled to a drank the first water since his canteen went days before. That revived him meal of rice from a then walked for two miles the mountains. But e grew more numerous proached the Naktoni couldn't get through. It was then he met South Korean On his hid out in the hills brought him rice even and kept him posted on opments by drawing on ground. Twice he found tenant fresh hiding in searching red patrols. Hicks donned a white peasant straw hat for several miles with past retreating enemy Then he met some Se police who took him to can command post. A U.

All members of the mysterious Mafia and all but one are either Italian-born or of Italo-American origin. Various statements have been given by the Kefauver Crime commission regarding the power of the Mafia, but few people realize its immense power or that its head, Sky Luciano, directs its affairs in Italy, whither he was deed when Governor Dewey, for the strange reason, released him in Sing Sing during the war. The history of these strange underground rulers goes back to the 18th Century when the Mafia was organized in Sicily to oppose the tyranny of the Turks. Similar secret Society called Camorra, mushroomed in cities for the same purpose, and striates from both emigrated American. They reorganized, capitally in New York, but had out across the country, at preying chiefly upon wealthyans. The Camorra became known as the "Black Hand" and Mafia continued under its name. Eventually the two organizations became identical because the Mafia started out legging and graduated to smuggling, the U.S. Narcos bureau has kept a close watch on it and has circulated narcotics agents the follow-confidential instruction: because of our belief that members of the Mafia constitute the important and most dangerous group engaged in the trafficking of drugs, it is deemed essential that every narcotics agent be informed concerning this unworld organization." Mafia Civil War The organization was originally Sicilians exclusively because Sicilians were men of proven experience. The fact that most members of the Mafia in this country are camouflaged by legitimate business makes it difficult to tell who is who. Take for instance 'S. L.' of Sacramento—an old man of ingratiating manners, soft-spoken, owner of an olive oil factory and vast olive fields, with a summer home at one of the beaches near Santa Cruz. Who would ever suspect him of being a feared member of the Mafia? Of course he has a past criminal record, but in his community he donates a large sum of money to the churches and to charitable institutions. At Christmastime he has little presents for all the cops and is always smiling at everybody. The citizens of Sacramento, not knowing about his past crimes, look upon him as a legitimate businessman. Buy's Protection The association in this country has enough money to buy whatever political protection it needs, and many murders have gone unpunished merely because of the political pressure put in motion by money. Mafia members (Mafiusi) take a secret oath called the "Omerta," and a confidential Narcotics bureau document describes this as follows: "newly initiated members take a solemn oath and obligation never to reveal the secrets of the sect under any circumstances and never to divulge the names of fellow members even under torture. "Once a member, there is no alternative of withdrawing. The initiation fee is murder or some extreme act of violence such as dynamiting. On the other hand, the candidate is assured of immunity and some way of making money." The Mafia does not appear to be a close - knit organization but rather a loose, fraternal society. Like a plate of spaghetti, the connection of the Mafia members are tangled and twined together. Lucky Luciano, the international head still exercises a mysterious control over the American underworld from Italy, while Frankie Costello has succeeded Luciano as Mafia chief in this country. (Ed. Note—Another column on this mysterious criminal society will be published shortly.) ONE, EITHER Co. K. Guardsmen ERNEST MAXWELL CLARENCE BLACKSTOCK THE PEACE there were so many enemy moving through that he had gone only 200 feet before he had to hide again—this time under a roadside straw-pile. "It overhung a ditch," recalled Hicks, "and I set hunched against the ditch wall under the straw without food for six or seven days. I kind of lost track of time." He finally emerged when heavy enemy traffic slowed and there was no full moon to keep him from travelling at night. He was so weak he fell while trying to cross the road. He crawled to a stream and drank the first water he had had since his canteen went dry four days before. That revived him. He got a meal of rice from a peasant hut, then walked for two nights across the mountains. But enemy troops grew more numerous as he approached the Naktong river. He couldn't get through. It was then he met the young South Korean. On his advice Hicks hid out in the hills. The Korean brought him rice every few days and kept him posted on war developments by drawing maps on the ground. Twice he found the lieutenant fresh hiding places when searching red patrols probed near. Hicks donned a white robe and a peasant straw hat. He marched for several miles with his friend past retreating enemy stragglers. Then he met some South Korean police who took him to an American command post. A U.S. intelligence major took down his story and then said: "Gee, you're lucky—we're going to have a swell meal tonight." "What is it?" asked Hicks, hungrily munching some canned rations. "Rice," said the major. "It's the first we've had in a long time." Walnut Marketing Order Announced The California Department of Agriculture today announced Walnut Marketing Order Announced The California Department of Agriculture today announced the issuance of an Order fixing the salable and surplus percentages of merchantable unshelled walnuts for the 1950-51 marketing season.
