The reason for Later he prosecuted 30 persons in a fantastic mass sedition trial in Washington. Still later he became associated with numerous "peace" undertailings under communist sponsorship here and abroad. This week he went behind the Iron Curtain and stuck pins in the Stalinists and made them furious. In Warsaw, Poland, at one of those world peace meetings that the communists are forever sponsoring, Rogge got the floor Sunday and dramatically denounced communist aggression and communist "religious fanaticism," which he called a roadblock to human progress. The booing was terrific. It was not the first time that Rogge had criticized Russia in such meetings, but he had never gone so far before. Not everybody booed. Some delegates from non-communist countries applauded. There could be no doubt that the Soviet propaganda drive had been dealt a blow. Rogge's career, so bewildering to most Americans, parallels that of Henry Wallace in some respects. Both men were kicked out of the Truman administration in the fall of 1946. Both came to believe that it was possible to work with the communists toward the objective of peace. They thought the U.S. was handling the international situation all wrong. They worked together in the Progressive party, which put Wallace up for president in 1948. Now both men have become disillusioned about the peaceful intentions of world communism. Wallace has quit the Progressive party. Rogge stayed in the party to try to persuade it to stop blaming the U.S. for the Korean war. (So far he has made no headway.) Rogge also tried to change the communist-sponsored "Stockholm Peace Appeal" and, failing, renounced his support of it. Rogge (pronounced Roggy) is 46 years old. He was born on a farm in Illinois, of German immigrant parents. He made a notable As a young Chicago lawyer he was called into the government from time to time to prosecute tough cases for the Reconstruction Finance corp., Securities and Exchange commission, and Treasury Department. In 1939 he joined the Justice Department as assistant attorney general in charge of the Criminal division. He spent eight months in Louisiana, spreading alarm and prison sentences among political heirs of Huey Long, who had been assassinated in 1935. Rogge left the department at the end of 1940, but was brought back in 1943 to prosecute the famous Mass Sedition case. After seven months of courtroom nightmare, the judge died and a mistrial was declared. Until the sedition case, Rogge had seemed utterly oblivious to political considerations or ideologies. In 1946 came a turning point in his life. He went to Europe to gather evidence for a resumption of the sedition case, and collected a lot of material on American fascists. He came back guilty and full of fight. Rogge made a report to Attorney General Tom Clark. Clark didn't publish it. Rogge began making speeches about his findings. Clark fired him on the ground of violating regulations. Rogge entered private practice in New York and continued his anti-fascist speeches: The American left wing cheered him. Left-wingers brought him law cases. He became a crusader for civil rights. He plunged into peace movements, and went to Paris, London, Prague, Stockholm, Mexico City and other places to speak at conferences. Last spring he became a registered lobbyist for the Yugoslav government, which is communist but anti-Moscow. That didn't endear him to the Stalinists of the world. But even before this, he was speaking his mind with increasing frankness at the "peace" meetings. Finally, he has let 'em have it between the eyes. An interesting guy, Rogge.

The well at Dr. Yocum's place is now down to a depth of 77 feet, and there is apparently a bountiful supply of water. The intention is to sink it until the clay strata is reached. Parties from the neighboring ranchos report the grass in many places high enough to give the stock a good bite. With a little more rain the county will be safe as far as feed for the stock is concerned. A party of Chinamen waited all night at the depot the night before last to catch the train for Los Angeles. They were on time in the morning. J. M. Guinn delivered a lecture at Good Templars' hall, Los Angeles, last night. Mr. Osborne, the Road Commissioner, was in town yesterday. He will begin making repairs in the Anaheim Landing road on Monday. The road will be plowed and thrown up in the center, and culverts built wherever found necessary. A new culvert will also be built on Centre street near the depot. The shipments from the depot yesterday were mostly livestock.—Two freight cars were loaded with Chinamen. There has been an influx of newcomers in Santa Ana in the last two weeks. The proprietors of the "Faulkner House" and the "Santa Ana" hotel inform us they are crowded to overflowing. 50 Years Ago The divorce case of Pearce vs Pearce was considered by Judge Ballard on Friday. Allony of $25 per month was ordered paid Mrs. Pearce as well as $75 attorney's fees. Mrs. Harrison entertained the Ladies Euchre club at her home at Brookshurst on Thursday. The afternoon was delightfully spent. After the game refreshments were served in the dining room. Mrs. WASHINGTON — There were two things that didn't meet the eye behind the president's recent statement that the United States had no military designs on China: 1. The State Department had tried to get General MacArthur to issue a somewhat similar statement but he refused. 2. The Russian radio is waging a terrific propaganda campaign to persuade the Chinese that the United States is about to bomb their major cities. That was why residents of Canton were panic-stricken over air-raid reports the other day. To allay China's fears, Truman not only issued his sudden White House statement, but a copy of it was cabled to New Delhi, India, where Ambassador Loy Henderson handed it to Prime Minister Nehru. Henderson, explaining that he was acting on instructions from Washington, requested that the full text of Truman's statement be handed personally to Chinese President Mao Tse-Tung in Peiping. Incidentally, Henderson added that he did not want the Indian ambassador in Peiping, Sardar Panniker, to add any comments of his own in delivering the statement. The reason for Ambassadors was the U.N. office in Washington. Sweetser was also one of Woodrow Wilson's aides in the fight to get the United States to join the League of Nations—a light in which Wilson was defeated by a band of "irreconcilables" led by Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. And the other day, as he sat at a U.N. meeting in New York, Sweetser could not keep back a couple of sentimental tears as he listened to Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.'s also of Massachusetts, grandson of Wilson's enemy, battling in a U.N. committee to obtain more funds for the United Nations. Afterward, Sweetser sat down and wrote a note to young Lodge: "I never thought I would live to see the day," he said, "when Henry Cabot Lodge would be fighting for a world peace organization. It proves that the world makes progress and that we all learn from the past." Radio Dazzberry The stage was set at the Pentagon the other day for some dramatic, two-way radio calls, opening the military amateur radio system. This is a world-wide network of ham radio operators, which the defense department has organized for emergency communications. At the climax of the dedication ceremony, Secretary for Air Finkler announced: "We will now contact an airplane in flight over Heard some mornings before they print anything offensive to powerful advertisers, in fear that a lucrative advertising account will be lost." But such Nehru, Henderson, explaining that he was acting on instructions from Washington, requested that the full text of Truman's statement be handed personally to Chinese President Mao Tse-Tung in Peiping. Incidentally, Henderson added that he did not want the Indian ambassador in Peiping, Sardar Pannikar, to add any comments of his own in delivering the statement. The reason for Ambassador Henderson's crack about Ambassador Panniker is because the latter is considered pro-communist and has been muddying up relations between the USA and China. At one time, the state department even requested Prime Minister Nehru to fire him. Note—Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence continues to be baffled over the behavior of Chinese troops in North Korea. They melt away before U.S. advances, apparently not wanting to give battle. Either they have no quarrel with the United States, or else are sucking our troops into a trap.

This is a world-wide network of ham radio operators, which the defense department has organized for emergency communications. At the climax of the dedication ceremony, Secretary for Air Finkler announced: "We will now contact an airplane in flight over the North Atlantic!" Dials spun, tubes lit up, but all that came over the loudspeaker was "bleep, bleep, bleep." Clearing his throat uneasily, Finkler tried again: "Now we will talk to Maj. Gen. Lyman Whitten sitting at his desk at Fort Pepperell in Newfoundland. Come in, General Whitten..." But all that came in was "bleep, bleep, bleep," then some static that sounded like an ethereal razzerry razz. "That was certainly an interesting conversation," ad libbed Finkler. "That was about on the same plane as the last time the general and I talked." Military Budget Trimmed Top defense officials have been holding a series of secret meetings to prepare their budget estimates for President Truman. Their recommendations will probably set the domestic economy for the next two years—how much taxes will be increased, how high prices and wages will rise, and whether rationing and price controls will be ordered. The meetings are still continuing, attended by Secretary of Defense Marshall, Undersecretary Lovett and the joint chiefs of staff. However, estimates have now been trimmed down by $10,-000,000,000 and the military budget will be approximately $45,-000,000,000. This will pay for about 80 Air Force groups, 18 Army divisions and 12 to 15 aircraft carriers. (This is 10 groups and two division less than originally planned.) Washington Pipeline John Steelman, assistant to the president, would not be adverse to heading the New York Stock Exchange instead of Secretary of Treasury John Snyder. Steelman has potent Paul Hoffman and movie czar Eric Johnston backing him... The Senate Armed Services committee will be asked if Harry's complaints are justifiable or not. There are cases where editors will think more than once before they print anything offensive to powerful advertisers, in fear that a lucrative advertising account will be lost. But such editors and publishers are weak—kneed and hardly worthy of the profession. They have no faith in their own product. The advertiser, by canceling his account, damages the newspaper from a financial standpoint, but his is a hollow victory. By removing his name and his merchandising message from the public prints he damages himself far more than he does the publisher. Despite Harry (What nell happened in Ohio) Truman, we must allow that our press is, by and large and despite its numerous flaws, a pretty worthy institution. After all, who is our president to call our press a child of dictators when he, through his all-powerful and omnipotent Federal Communications commission, can at the stroke of a pen or a hurried mumbled telephone order, command an audience of 60,000-000 Americans by demanding the great networks to relinquish valuable radio time in favor of his halting, aimless mutterings? This is not only the case of the pot calling the kettle black. It is an example of a fellow with a finger in every pie wanting a pie in every bake shop. Leave the press alone, Harry... go back to your Old Forester and branch water and brood on ways and means to yank Scott Lucas back out of the black reaches of politics head some inane tax-gobbling bureau little empire lying the placid Potomac...

Lane, associate conductress. 25 Years Ago It is conservatively estimated that around 50,000 visitors were in Anaheim to participate in or view the Armistice Day Parade. Hundreds of entries including many beautiful floats were in the procession which started at 10 o'clock at the intersection of West and Broadway, up Broadway to Kroeger, north to Center, west to Los Angeles, north to Sycamore, west to Lemon, south to Center, west on Center to Five points where it disbanded. The Concordia Club held a celebration at the park on West Broadway, Wednesday in honor of Armistice Day. Barbecued meats were served all day and a band concert in the evening. The young people also engaged in games and singing and in the evening dancing was enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. William Stark and Jon Eldon returned last week from a two month's visit to their old home in Wisconsin. They report an enjoyable visit greeting friends of former days. Dr. Philip M. Lovell of the Care of the Body department of the Los Angeles Times will deliver a lecture on 'Health Without Drugs" at K. of P. hall, Tustin, Friday evening.

DESERT RESCUES PRACTICED TRIPOLI, Tripolitania (AF) — British and American service personnel have been cooperating on air-desert rescue exercises in Africa's northern wastes. White panels were land out in the desert to indicate a crashed plane. Then RAF and USAF planes began a search. Two ground parties were set up, one with eight light vehicles, the other with 10 heavier type vehicles for evacuation of personnel. Communications were centered at the British-operated Castel Benito Airfield. The U. S. has a military air transport unit at nearby Wheelus Field. Colony Quips Heard some nice fancy gossip the other day that we just can't keep to ourselves any longer. This was told us by a Sunkist grower who does not ship his fruit through the same house as we do. We also want to make it clear that the manager of our packing house has never mentioned this to us and if he reads this column it will be the first time he will know that we know. Hope you get it. We also want to make clear that it is of no moment to us in a personal way. We hold no animosity, were not upset when first told and are not mad in the first place. We only tell it here for the kicks and hope it will bring a laugh. Don't let it scare any of your loyal growers. Just keep your hats in hand when you talk to your "hired help" and they will "reflect" all to you that you have coming. You folks just read this for fun and let us do the worrying. We have had plenty of experience. Some time ago the manager of the packing house that we ship our small lag of Valencias through was... for the kicks and hope it will bring a laugh. Don't let it scare any of you loyal growers. Just keep your hats in hand when you talk to your "hired help" and they will "reflect" all to you that you have coming. You folks just read this for fun and let us do the worrying. We have had plenty of experience. Some time ago the manager of the packing house that we ship our small jag of Valencias through was approached, so the story goes, on the sacred floors of the Kremlin, and asked why in h—— he didn't kick us out of his packing house bag and baggage. And this was from one of the "big wheels" so how can we feel anything else but complimented? Now the management of our particular house is so far ahead of anything in its own area that it is not even funny. So our manager replied that he had not considered such a move, did not like the idea, knew this writer and liked him just the same. So there, boys, we can keep our finger to our nose when we point it to the Kremlin, even or yet. That is the way the story came to us and it was simply too good to pass up. There is a sequel. The same "wheel" came back to our manager later and said that on sober thought maybe he (our manager) should not act in so drastic a manner. Anyway the "wheel" called off his dogs and we were saved, at the last minute. Now let's get in there for a moment and consider the thinking that brought on such an attitude as the little boy had against the one who came along and ruffled up his playhouse. If there is any harm in comparing the way the citrus industry (Continued on Page 7) reaches of political oblivion to head some inane, superfluous, tax-gobbling bureau in your tight little empire lying there along the placid Potomac.
