MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY HOULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH HOULAND Classified Advertising Manager It was a high level campaign ??? The political campaign which wound up in today's election was distinguished for its very high, but very subtle, intellectual tone. (See cartoon at right.) For instance the phrase—"he's a bum"—appeared more than once, giving a staccato effect to sentences which otherwise seemed ponderous. You can see the advantage in the repetition of a phrase like that day after day, used by a politician to sum up a rival. It forms an instant link between the speaker and the voters because there hardly breathes a man who at some time or other: 1. Hasn't known a bum or two and formed opinions of them; or 2. Has himself called some rival—in love, dice or business—a bum; or 3. Hasn't been called a bum by some rival. So the beautifully simple phrase—"he's a bum"—penetrated immediately to the emotions tested by politicians in previous years. But politicians know from experience that the new is always dangerous. Such a step by itself would have been proof of radical tendencies. So while herds of this year's politicians, modestly and conservatively, stuck to the old political stand-bys; giving a kind of familiar touch to all they said. So this one was "tarred with isolationism;" that one was hand-picked by Wall Street" and that one was a "rubber stamp for the administration." And, geographically, this year's politicians displayed an astonishing range and versatility, giving individual interpretations of what happened at Yalta, laying the blame for Korea, and disclosing in no uncertain way the strategic importance of Formosa, or lack of it. While such themes as "com- It forms an instant link between the speaker and the voters because there hardly breathes a man who at some time or other: 1. Hasn't known a bum or two and formed opinions of them; or 2. Has himself called some rival—in love, diee or business—a bum; or 3. Hasn't been called a bum by some rival. So the beautifully simple phrase—"he's a bum"—penetrated immediately to the emotions and recollections of the voters. Such a phrase has an added utility: it saves an amazing amount of literary wear and tear on the speech writers whenever they can find a place for it. But, having flexed their mental muscles with such one-syllable color pieces as "he's a bum," the speakers were then able to display their command over much more complicated words that ran up to as many as four syllables, words like: "Thief, liar, crook, falter, trickster, barbarian, nefarious conspirator, Little Stalin, and hypocrite." Since this country has assumed world leadership, it may have been a little disquieting for any foreigner who heard the speeches to think that one of the people so described might get elected to high office. There was no need for them to be disturbed. In spite of any notions to the contrary, American politicians, by and large, are an extremely conservative group, as you can see from what follows: They could have reached out for some new-fangled ideas not IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette by MRS.

And, geographically, this year's politicians displayed an astonishing range and versatility, giving individual interpretations of what happened at Yaita, laying the blame for Korea, and disclosing in no uncertain way the strategic importance of Formosa, or lack of it. While such themes as "communism" and "witch-hunting" are no longer exactly how they were by no means overlooked by the politicians who, being human, are sentimental enough not to want to discard old things because they're old. All of this was free, and sometimes was accompanied by a barbecue without charge. But not content with the wide variety of themes, the policitians even provided variety in techniques. Some descended in helicopters, fully equipped to begin talking on landing. This may have had a symbolic effect on voters: a man coming from the general direction of heaven, uttering prophecies. Some had pretty girls hand out comic books at their rallies so that the voters, in the pauses between species, could bone up about on this latest American art form. And although it may have been a little difficult for some of the bull-minded voters to see what it had to do with fitness for office, one 69-year-old candidate or governor challenged his rival to a toot race. Therefore, the State Department long ago urged that troops stop 40 miles this way the Manchurian border.

The St. Helena Star says: "The Anaheim Gazette, an able journal has just entered upon the 6th year of its existence. It has done as much for Anaheim as the great Journal has done for Santa Barbara and great should be its reward. We hope it is appreciated, it should be." It is. We made a curosy inspection this morning of the building now being erected by Dr. James Ellis, and designed to be used as a cottage hospital. When finished it will be a cozy, comfortable place, admirably adapted to the uses for which it is intended.

Instructions have been issued by the quartemaster general at Washington, D.C., to San Francisco to forward the body here as soon as it arrives by transport from Manila.

He goes to obtain relief from asthma by the change of climate, and will seek to regain his health. Mrs. Lloyd C. Baily also returns on Saturday to her home in Mazatlan. At the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. W. J. Fay on West Broadway at 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Henry Strodthoff of Jerome, Arizona, T., son of Mrs. Strodthoff of this city was dnited in marriage to Miss Edith Fay. Rev. George Robinson of Los Angeles was the officiating clergyman. The parlors were decorated in green and white. The bride was gowned in white and wore a handsome bridal yell. She carried a bouquet of roses and lerns. Only members of the families of the high contracting parties were present. The newly wedded pair left for Los Angeles in the afternoon and later boarded the Owl for San Francisco. They will live a month in that city and will later go to Jerome they will reside.

The audience was charmed with program which presented artists in both vocal and mental music. Miss Elise Siegel charmed the audience her sweet soprano in songs. Prof. Kurt Mueller plano and Frederick Hu with his fine tenor and Miss dred Hawks, harpist were applauded. Both artistically financially the concert was successful. HOW DID HE EVER DO IT? WASHINGTON—Now that the election of the late President Franklin Roosevelt is considering important cabinet changes, he will also be faced with important vacancies on the Supreme Court. As a result, he is contemplating the most significant shift he has made since he cased out various Roosevelt cabinet members right after Dr. R's death. The double-play between the cabinet and the Supreme Court involves: 1. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, who will resign. 2. Chief Justice Fred Vinson, scheduled to take Acheson's place. 3. Felix Franckter, who will replace General Eisenhower as president of Columbia university. 4. Attorney General Howard McGrath, who will be appointed to the Supreme Court. 5. Secretary of Commerce Sawyer, who will probably resign. Occasionally his successor are New York attorney Morris Ernst and Stuart Symington. 6. Secretary of the Navy Francis Matthews, who will be made ambassador to Ireland. George Kuhn, head of the American Presidency lines, will take his place. While these switches will not occur at once, the most important exit of Dean Acheson—will probably take place within 60 days. Manchurian Crisis. A backstage controversy had taken place between Washington and Tokyo for some time prior to Chinese intervention in area as to how far American troops should go toward the Manchurian border. combat and only a few Russian planes. In the last week, Russian planes have appeared from Manchuria. 2. A deal whereby China takes of those 'how-daré' and walked straight room." "In other words," Manchurian Crisis. A backstage controversy had taken place between Washington and Tokyo for some time prior to Chinese intervention in area as to how far American troops should go toward the Manchurian border. Secretary of State Acheson had argued that the U.S. and U.N. troops must stop before they got air the hydroelectric projects along the Yalu river, which supply the power for much of Manchuria. One of these, the Suihoin, is among the largest in the world, and generates three-quarter as much power as Boulder City. There are seven of these towns in North Korea, and the State Department warned that if approached this area, the Chinese would react in about the same way as the people of Los Angeles if a Mexican army should broach Boulder dam, which applies much of their water therefore, the State Department long ago urged that U.N. troops stop 40 miles this side of Manchurian border. The joint efforts of Start heartily concurred this, and this was one of the points discussed with General MacArthur at Wake Island that time MacArthur agreed. However, when he reached the white neutrality belt, he wired Washington for permission to aid South Korean troops beyond the Manchurian border. He then were to go on mopping missions and as military police maintain order. However, MacArthur's intelligence was faulty and the South Korean troops found themselves outnumbered. When they into trouble, MacArthur wired Washington for permission to send U.S. troops to rescue them. While the Joint Chiefs of Staff don't like this, they found it difficult to overrule the commander in the field, and wired permission. Russo-Chinese Denial It is believed that the Kremlin led this concentration of U.S. troops near Manchurian dams as of its main arguments to big Chinese communists into war, though undoubtedly were other factors. These badly were: 1. Pledge of Russian air support. 2. Hitntero in the Korean war. 3. Russian pilots have been in combat and only a few Russian planes. In the last week, Russian planes have appeared from Manchuria. 2. A deal whereby China takes over Tibet, and later India, in return for intervention in Korea. 3. A deal whereby China takes over Indo-China when and if the French are driven out, as now seems likely. These were some of the things the State Department feared might happen if we tangled with China over Formosa; the reason Truman announced publicly that the American fleet would be withdrawn from Chinese waters when the situation was more stable and why we have used dancing-en-eggs diplomacy in our relations with the Chinese government. Oblong Views FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER (Author of the best seller: "In Southern California, You are Treated Like A King... IF You Happen to be either an Orange or an Avocado"). I SHOULD LIKE today to discuss the matter of clocks in automobiles. Could anything be more useless? The manufacturer foists the thing onto the poor gull who buys a new car, jacking the price of the automobile up probably as high as 36 or 37 drachas, just because the clock has been installed in the dash. This might not be so hard to take if the clocks worked, but we must face the fact that the mighty U.S. automobile industry, despite its scientific and mechanical wizardry, has been unable to put a clock into a dashboard and make it work. Perhaps they are going at it wrong. Instead of building the clock into the car, they bought to take a whack at building a car around a good, dependable clock. At any rate, the clock would give up the ghost after about six months or so, with the hands hanging doggedly at some such stupid time as 3:23. As a case in point, I started Yesterday, at one of those cocktail parties where only pedigree olives are used in the Martinis, I met a movie actress who used to dance in one of my chorus lines back in the '30's. She was sporting a square-cut that looked like the searchlight on the old Albany night boat. "Glad you're doing so well," I said. "You've really gone places since the days when you made a fast 40 a week." "Have I changed much?" she asked, lighting a gold-tipped cigarette. "Well, for one thing," I said, you never used to smoke buck-a-pack ciggies. "You mean these Sobranies?" said the actress. "Matter of fact, I started smoking them while I was working at your cup. One or your customers introduced me to them." "Boy friend?" "Yes, if a man in his 50's can be called a boy. Remember Big Joel?" "The oil fella?" "That's the one," said the star. "Know something? I probably would be married to him today if not for these Sobranies." "Tell me about it," I prodded. "Well, it's not much of a story." said the actress. "One night Big Joel threw a party at the Central Park Casino for a bunch of his pals—Jimmy Walker, Billy Seeman, Jules Glenzer and that crowd. And it was quite a shindig—guinea hen under glass, buckets of champagne and gold-tipped Sobranies on every table. I was one of the girls invited—but what I didn't know until later was that Joel intended to surprise me and announce our engagement that night." "Were you stuck on the big lug?" It is believed that the Kremlin had this concentration of U.S. troops near Manchurian dams as well as its main arguments to wage war, though undoubtedly were other factors. These probably were: 1. Pledge of Russian air support. Hitnero in the Korean war Russian pilots have been in San Francisco. They will spend month in that city and Denver will later go to Jerome where they will reside. The groom is a five of Anaheim and his friends legion. For some years he has led in Jerome where he is enlisted in Senator Clark's copper mining enterprise. The ordeal is of Anaheim's popular society. We join the many friends of happy couple in wishing them happiness and success. 25 Years Ago For the purpose of raising funds for the Children's Health Camp, Anaheim Conservatory of music gave a concert at Fremont Pool Friday evening. The large audience was charmed with the gram which presented several acts in both vocal and instrumental music. Miss Elizabeth Angel charmed the audience with her sweet soprano in several songs. Prof. Kurt Mueller on the piano and Frederick Huttman on his fine tenor and Miss Millard Hawks, harpist were greatly lauded. Both artistically and financially the concert was a success. Perhaps they are going at it wrong. Instead of building the clock into the car, they bought to take a whack at building a car around a good, dependable clock. At any rate, the clock would give up the ghost after about six months or so, with the hands hanging doggedly at some stupid time as 3:23. As a case in point, I started the clock in my car Sunday before embarking on a trip to Baffled Buzzard Bajada, near Palm Springs. I was planning to time the trip right to the minute, but over on the other side of River-side, the minute hand caught on the hour hand at 2:15 and the two started coasting blithely around the face of the clock together. After stopping to make a minor adjustment, we got under way again, but as we neared Banning, the timepiece started running so fast we figured it did about three weeks in five minutes flat. To increase my consteration, the radio wouldn't operate so long as the clock was connected. Another (and final) adjustment was made on the vexing timepiece with the butt end of a pint thermos jug. I will have no need to worry about either again. I won't say that the brains of the automobile industry cannot develop a car and clock that will operate in mutual accord... but I have got to see it done. Purdue, the team that snapped Notre Dame's undefeated streak at 39 straight, is the only eleven to have played the Irish five times since the streak began in 1946. Joel threw a party at the Central Park Casino for a bunch of his pals—Jimmy Walker, Billy Stephan, Jules Glenzer and that crowd. And it was quite a shindig—guinea hen under glass, buckets of champagne and gold-tipped Sobranies on every table. I was one of the girls invited—but what I didn't know until later was that Joel intended to surprise me and announce our engagement that night." "Were you stuck on the big lug?" "Not particularly," said the star, "but he was a nice enough fella and had he made the announcement I don't doubt but that I would have gone along with it." "What stopped him?" "It was one of those things," said the actress. "A little after midnight, when I came back to my table after a dance. I found my pocketbook was missing. I started to look for it, but Big Joel told me to relax and handed me 100 bucks. I thanked him but kept right on looking, and when he asked me why I was so worried about the pocketbook, I told him there was 300 dollars in it. "I had hardly gotten the words out of my mouth when the woman who worked in the ladies' room came up and handed me my purse—said she had found it under the make-up table. "Big Joel looked at me and grinned kind of funny. 'It ain't that I don't trust you, honey,' he said, 'but a man wants to be awfully sure about the lady he's going to make his wife. Forgive me, but—would you mind opening that bag and showing me the three hundred?' "Naturally, I did no such thing. I picked up my bag, gave him one The Challenge III. The Celestial Precursor of Our Lady It was a warm and sunny morning in the late Spring of 1916. After saying their customary prayer in honor of their Guardian Angel, Lucy, Francis, and Jacinta drove their flock to a field west of Aljustrel and below the Cabeco Hill. While the sheep nibbled the grass, the children played games. Toward mid-morning, clouds scudded out of the northwest and the sky became overcast. A chill breeze blew across the field and the rain began to fall. While waiting for the rain to stop, the children played jackstones with pebbles. After a while, they stopped the game and said the Rosary. Then they ate their lunch. By this time the rain had ceased and the sun was shining again. Standing in front of the grotto, they amused themselves by flinging stones down the slope. While they were engaged in this pastime, a strong gust of wind struck them. Startled, they looked out over the olive trees below them to see if another sudden storm was on the way. The Angel of Peace They saw, instead, a brilliant light, high above the valley and moving toward them. When it drew closer, they beheld in its radiance what Lucy has described as "a transparent youth more brilliant than a crystal penetrated by the rays of the sun." When the apparition was near the entrance of the grotto, it stopped and the children saw that it had the features of a human being but was superhumanly beautiful. Awestricken and speechless, they stared at the mysterious visitor. "Do not be alarmed," he said. "I am the Angel of Peace." Pray with me taught them. Over and over they repeated it. Suddenly they were surrounded by a brilliant light. Raising their heads, they saw the angel standing near them. In one hand he held a chalice and over it with the other hand he held a Host. Leaving the chalice and the Host suspended in the air, he prostrated himself beside the children and had them repeat after him three times the following prayer: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world; in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences with which He is offended. By the infinite merits of His Sacred Heart and of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I ask You for the conversion of poor sinners." The angel rose and said: "Take the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men. Make reparation for their sins and console your God." He placed the Host on Lucy's tongue. He presented the chalice to Francis and Jacinta and they drank from it. Kneeling and bowing to the ground, he again said the prayer "Most Holy Trinity" three times and the children said it with him. Then he disappeared for the last time. Again the sense of the presence of God was so overwhelming that the children were absorbed in a supernatural abstraction as though they existed outside their bodies. Though the children often spoke of the angel among themselves, they never mentioned him to others. Who would have believed them? It would have seemed too fantastic and implausible to be of those 'how-dare-you' looks and walked straight out of the room." "In other words," I small-joked, "Big Joel caught you with your purse down." "Nothing of the sort, said the movie star. "Matter of fact, I had been paid off that afternoon for a series of modeling jobs and had closer to 400 than three in my bag." "Then why didn't you open it?" "How could I," said the actress. "He'd have seen the 10 packs of Sobranie Gold-Tips I had swiped off the tables." Warren Wins Continued from Page 1 Brown 1,282,766, Shattuck 1,071,342. The voters smothered Proposition 6 with its attempt to legalize gambling in California. Repeal of personal property taxes, under proposition 1, was rejected by a 4 to 1 tally. The low cost housing measure, No. 10 was failing. Warren's return to another four years in office was never in doubt. Roosevelt, eldest son of the late FDR, failed to challenge him even in Democratic Los Angeles county. The governor, in incomplete returns, carried all 58 counties, taking in little Plumas which alone deserted him in the June primaries. He is the first California governor ever given a third term. Only one other, the late Hiram M. Johnson, also a Republican, was elected to a second—In 1914. It was this election 36 years ago which set a record vote of 79 per cent for a non-presidential year. The response in yesterday's election may have eclipsed this mark. Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan predicted an 80 per cent turnout. Mrs. Douglas, who campaigned for the Senate strictly as a New Dealer, carried only four counties on the basis of returns from nearly two-thirds of the total precincts. They were: Contra Costa, Plumas, Shasta and Solano. Only 11 counties went for Shattuck in the attorney general race: Alpine (56 to 49 at last count), Imperial, Inyo, Lake, Orange, Riverside, San Benito, San Diego, San Maejo and Santa Cruz. drew closer, they benid in its radiance what Lucy has described as "a transparent youth more brilliant than a crystal penetrated by the rays of the sun." When the apparition was near the entrance of the grotto, it stopped and the children saw that it had the features of a human being but was superhumanly beautiful. Awestricken and speechless, they stared at the mysterious visitor. "Do not be alarmed," he said. "I am the Angel of Peace." Pray with me." He knelt and bowed his forehead to the ground, and the children did the same. Then the angel said: "My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You." Three times he said the prayer while the children repeated the words after him. Arising, he said: "Pray like that. The Most Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary will be pleased with your prayers." With that, he disappeared in the sunlight. Second Visit Several weeks later, the angel again visited them. It was a hot summer day. The children had sought the shade of the olive trees behind Lucy's house and were playing by the old well. Suddenly they saw the angel near them. "What are you doing?" he said. "Pray!!" Pray much! The Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary have plans of mercy for you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to God." "How are we to make sacrifices?" Lucy asked him. "You can make sacrifices in all things," he answered. "Offer the sacrifices in reparation for all the sins that offend God and beg of Him the conversion of sinners. Try in this way to draw down peace upon your country. I am its Guardian Angel, the Angel of Portugal. Above all, accept and endure with submission the sufferings which God will send you." Third Visit The days and weeks went on. Then, one day in the Fall, the flock was again grazing in the field below the Cabeco Hill. The children had gone to the grotto to say the prayer the angel had it with him. Then he disappeared for the last time. Again the sense of the presence of God was so overwhelming that the children were absorbed in a supernatural abstraction as though they existed outside their bodies. Though the children often spoke of the angel among themselves, they never mentioned him to others. Who would have believed them? It would have seemed too fantastic and implausible to be taken seriously. How could they describe the ineffable absorption which they knew was the presence of God. This silence about the visits of the angel was unbroken until many years later when Lucy wrote her recollections at the behest of the Bishop of Laerla. 20-30 Men Talk Hallowe'en Deal 20-30 clubs from Orange and Anaheim met at Kelly's cafe in Orange Monday evening to discuss old and new problems. Under the heading of old business came the Hallowe'en situation. Anaheim 20-30 club sponsored a parking lot on the NW corner of La Palma and Palm ats. During the weeks before the parade the members of the club worked away levelling and clearing the ground for a booming business. Local police department and Chamber of Commerce urged on the good work with a warning that they would need more space, which 20-30 men promptly set to work clearing. So what happened? The way Dick Kelly tells us: the night of the parade the streets from Palm and Los Angeles to West and La Palma were blocked by the local gendarmes. In the confusion of Hallowe'en night there was no way to get to the proper authorities to have the road blocks removed and that finished the business for the evening. The problem now is how to stop the same thing from happening next year, Kelly says. A more cheerful aspect of the parade is the awarding of first prize in the stunt division to the Fullerton 20-30 club with their theme of "The Death of Roe Dapple." M. Jordan predicted an 80 per cent turnout. Mrs. Douglas, who campaigned for the Senate strictly as a New Dealer, carried only four counties on the basis of returns from nearly two-thirds of the total precincts. They were: Contra Costa, Plumas, Shasta and Solano. Only 11 counties went for Shattuck in the attorney general race: Alpine (56 to 49 at last count), Imperial, Inyo, Lake, Orange, Riverside, San Benito, San Diego, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz. Failure to carry one big county—Los Angeles—came as a fatal setback for both Douglas and Shattuck. Los Angeles had 2,198,878 eligible voters — 1,272,033 Democrats and 802,644 Republicans. Roosevelt conceded at midnight. He sent his "sincere congratulations" to the executive mansion in Sacramento where the usual election night cheer was missing. Doctors discovered only yesterday that blonde Nina "Honey Bear" Warren, 17, one of six Warren children, had infantile paralysis. The governor wept as he reached her bedside. Her condition is serious. Both of her legs are paralyzed. Warren thanked California for his tremendous vote. He promised to "continue to do my best to be a good governor for all the people." It was the only campaign promise he made. He gave no hint as to any future ambitions. His party's 1948 nominee for vice president, he already has been mentioned as a 1952 prospect. Both Australia and New Zealand display the Southern Cross on their flags, but Australia uses five stars to New Zealand's four.
