MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager The city fathers could do well... In the loss of “Rudy” Boysen Anaheim is left with a void that will be hard indeed to fill. We long took it for granted that our beautiful park was just naturally that way, that the right flower always just grew in the right spot. And always grew just right. Those flowers were the envy of every gardener in the city and of every visitor from other cities and afar. But the local gardener had a great advantage over the visitor. He could find out how it was done from “Rudy” and it always worked. All “Rudy” had to do was tell you how—and some of his “green thumb” rubbed off. He was always remembering someone else when a touch of those things came to him easy—the did not have to think about it when it came to being thoughtful of the other fellow. He is gone but his memory will be bright to anyone who will walk through Anaheim City Park. Its beauty and dazzling color are genuine and are a living tribute to Rudolph Boysen. There is a wonderful berry named after him. A fitting memorial to “Rudy” should be considered by Anaheim—perhaps a city park named after him would not be out of place. Yes, the Anaheim city fathers could do well to ponder on those last few words... A city park named after WASHINGTON—Judging conversation heard in Capitol cloakrooms, the current session Congress may approach the World War I days of Wood Wilson when it comes to discussion over foreign policy. It will be recalled that in November, 1918 elections, Wilson lost control of his House Representatives and from time on opposition to his reign policies increased, resulting finally in the defeat of League of Nations and the saddles Treaty. Many leaders both parties felt that this section of politics into foreign policy paralyzed the nation paved the way for World War II. On Capitol Hill today lead point to certain similarities tween what happened then what may happen today. In November, 1918, for instance the United States was winning Europe. The Armistice was ended on Nov. 11, just a few days after the election, but Wilson anyway. In November, 1950 United States was likewise on eve of victory in Korea. Truman, though keeping a margin in Congress, for all practical purposes lost workable control of the Senate. And the main issue coming to Truman’s setback the attack led by Senator Carthy on the State Department and its Chinese policy. This is certain to lead to... IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Harry Polhemus made a valuable addition to his collection of relics yesterday by purchasing the old adobe building owned by the Water Company on Centre street. The schools excepting that of Miss Des Granges, will be closed from Wednesday until Monday next on account of the Teachers examination in Los Angeles. Mr. Con Howe reports among the additions and improvements to Westminster during the past month, ten new houses and ten new babies. Mr. Hunter, the would-be suicide, was taken to Los Angeles yesterday by Mr. L. W. Lord. He will be placed in the hospital there until he has fully recovered. The annual meeting of the Anaheim Lighter Company will be held on Monday, December 6. A new board of trustees will be elected. All the stages and hacks from the depot last night were loaded with passengers. Mr. Jesse Davis has commenced slaughtering hogs for the manufacture of bacon. As soon as the smoke is completed, a large amount of bacon will be put up in the Colony. The ladies of the sewing society of the Episcalal church are work but we haven't heard of his doing any cake-walking for a long time. Mrs. F. A. Backs returned on Friday from San Francisco where she has visited for several months. Oscar Ingram, who for some time past has occupied a position as clerk in Stern Bros. store left on Saturday for Phoenix, Arizona. County school superintendent Greeley was in town on Tuesday morning. Charley Allgeyer was in from Brookshurst on Monday morning jubilant over the rain. He had just set out six acres to cabbage, and the rain didn't do a thing but help the cabbage along wonderfully. 25 Years Ago A radical change in management of the municipal light and water system was made by the city trustees at their last meeting. City Manager J. W. Price was appointed comptroller and will be allowed a chief deputy and two assistants who will receive salaries as follows—$175, $150 and $125 per month. The trustees ordered an audit of the rate collector's books by the Loly Audit Company, which showed that a change was needed in the methods of collection. The city trustees postponed action on the ornamental street lighting extension until the next anyway. In November, 1950 United States was likewise one eve of victory in Korea. Truman, though keeping a s margin in Congress, for all p tical purposes lost workable trol of the Senate. And the main issue conuting to Truman's setback the attack led by Senator Carthy on the State Department and its Chinese policy. This is certain to lead to following situations in the state: Isolationist bloc grows—Sistor McCarthy has now proved his combined formula of initiation plus investigating committees pays political dividends. thermore, the Republican powers him a debt. McCarthy more than 30 speeches in states, which means that the group of Republican isolation now not only has a vigo spokesman, but a demonstration that their tactics pay. This lationist group includes: Ma of Nevada, Wherry of Nebraska Jenner of Indiana, Hickenloo of Iowa, Ecton of Montana, kins of Utah, Bricker of C Brewster of Maine, Cain Washington, Dworshak of Idaho. In addition, certain mid-Republicans, such as Flanders Vermont, hitherto shunning isolationists, are now leaning their way. Apparently they that McCarthyism pays.... Sistor Taft's big victory in also puts him more firmly into camp. In the past, Taft did really believe McCarthy's charges against the State Department, but was willing to go after political reasons. Now two are likely to cooperate closely. The Absent Senator—The who did most to keep foreign policy on an even keel is now sent from the Senate—Ar Vandenberg of Michigan. Once an isolationist, he saw dangers of repeating what he opened after World War I... by conferring back and forth with the State Department, Vanberg rewrote treaties, modi State Department policy, sw recalcitrant GOP colleagues line, performed a magnific service for his country.... Vandenberg is ill, and contrariety, he will probably All the stages and hacks from the depot last night were loaded with passengers. Mr. Jesse Davis has commenced slaughtering hogs for the manufacture of bacon. As soon as the smoke is completed, a large amount of bacon will be put up in the Colony. The ladies of the sewing society of the Episcopal church are working diligently in order to prepare for a Fair and Festival to take place during Christmas week. There will be a tree upon which anyone can hang presents for their friends, and the hope is that many will buy from the fancy tables which the ladies will spread. The proceeds will be devoted to the building of the church. Mr. M. Calisher returned last night from San Francisco. The clouds last night seemed to be gathering up and preparing for another rain. 50 Years Ago Prof. S. S. Twombly of the Fullerton high school was in town on Saturday morning. Prof. Twombly is recognized as one of the most successful educators in the state and is one of the public spirited citizens of our neighboring town. Robin Adair Scott drove through town Saturday in the rain, saying "Hello" to numerous acquaintances on the sidewalks. Scotty lives in Long Beach now, appointed comptroller and will be allowed a chief deputy and two assistants who will receive salaries as follows—$175, $150 and $125 per month. The trustees ordered an audit of the rate collector's books by the Loly Audit Company, which showed that a change was needed in the methods of collection. The city trustees postponed action on the ornamental street lighting extension until the next meeting. Eight bids were received, the lowest being that of Fritz Ziebarth, his figure being $37,864. Walker and Martin of Fullerton were $43 higher than Ziebarth. That a favorable winter is in prospect for citrus growers in Orange county was the prediction made by G. W. Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association. Pointing out that during the last 33 years there never have been more than three successive dry years, Sandilands said that the present season is due to bring to an end a three-year drought period. Thus far the Anaheim district has had 1.45 inches of rain, compared with 1.51 inches in 1924, .87 in 1923 and .77 in 1922. Thus far this season has been devoid of the greatly feared north east winds which have been blamed for the small sized valencia oranges harvested in this vicinity during the last three years. The American Legion Post announces that receipts from the Armistice Day celebration paid all expenses and left a small surplus in the treasury. Vandenberg of Michigan... Once an isolationist, he saw dangers of repeating what he opened after World War I... by conferring back and forth with the State Department, Vandenberg rewrote treaties, modifying State Department policy, swapping recalcitrant GOP colleagues into line, performed a magnificent service for his country... McCarthy is ill, and contrary expectation, he will probably be back in January. Had a publican governor been elected Michigan, he would have resigned before now... Unfortunately can never be active in the Senate again. Did McCarthy really win? Not many Senators have seen breakdown yet, but election ures sent from Wisconsin re doubt as to whether McCarthy really pays. Unquestionably paid in certain states, but in Carlyle's home state, where he know him best, did it?. This is the question revealed by tailed Wisconsin returns... wherever McCarthy campaign in Wisconsin, the Republic usually lost votes — despite national trend in their favor. For instance, Milwaukee county was carried by the Democratic candidate for governor in 1924, 20,000. After McCarthy campaigned in the county in 1950, Democratic governor's major was 24,000... One of McCarthy first and biggest campaign mings was at Kenosha. In 1954 Kenosha went Democratic to 1,546. But after McCarthy's campaigning, and despite the Republican trend, it went Democratic by 3,224... The Democ WASHINGTON—Judging from conversation heard in Capitol Hill rooms, the current session of press may approach the post-War I days of Woodrow Wilson when it comes to disenover foreign policy. It will be recalled that in the November, 1918 elections, Wilhelm lost control of his House of Representatives and from that he on opposition to his policies increased, resulting finally in the defeat of the League of Nations and the Versailles Treaty. Many leaders of parties felt that this invasion of politics into foreign policy paralyzed the nation and led the way for World War Capitol Hill today leaders to certain similarities been what happened then and may happen today. November, 1918, for instance, United States was winning in Europe. The Armistice was signed Nov. 11, just a few days after the election, but Wilson lost day. In November, 1950, the United States was likewise on the verge of victory in Korea. Yet Iran, though keeping a scant inch in Congress, for all practical purposes lost workable contact with the Senate. The main issue contributed to Truman's setback was attack led by Senator McCoy on the State Department's Chinese policy. SANTA'S HELPER PROCRASTINATING SHOPPER CHRISTMAS LIST YOUR CONSCIENCE WORRIS In November, 1950, the United States was likewise on the verge of victory in Korea. Yet, meanwhile, though keeping a scant margin in Congress, for all practical purposes lost workable control of the Senate. The main issue contributed to Truman's setback was a attack led by Senator McCarthy on the State Department's Chinese policy. It is certain to lead to the living situations in the Senate. Colony Quips The next session of the California legislature will have the first say on whether or not the controversial "cross filing" bill will be on the law books or not. They will be able to outlaw cross-filing or leave the primary law as it is and allow a candidate to present himself before any or all political parties having primary ballots. If a candidate is a Democrat, for instance, he may now ask all Republican voters, in the primary election, if they will make him more senate too. Of course, if he turns him down and warns another party nominee does not come and he is must win his own party. Now that national heads of both major parties do not like this kind of setup too well, it makes the job of keeping their members in "line" much harder. In other words the electorate now votes for the man they think is best qualified and the partisan aspects of a candidate are pushed in the background. To eliminate cross-filing would be a step back to the old convention system when candidates were picked in the "smoke filled" rooms and the voters would just have to go along. The average voter in California can easily be shown that if cross-filing is eliminated he will not be as free as he is now in the choice of the man he wants for a particular office. But the party "leader does not like a candidate convention. The deluge around and went throughs of nominating and candidates—but only a thing had been decided or two of those "smite rooms. One, held over in comes back in memory; ange county delegation with every promise of for their candidate. And were not exactly nailed Everything had been but someplace along the double x came into the Orange county with a candidate they had of and did not like. There was a lot of and tempers flared but later everything calmed they took their medians were regular party men integrity than is popular A man must think all lines in those days or cast. But the people had think for themselves about our party "leaders" to beating at the polls. Because of some poor powerful "interests" in ground. But they lived to see candidate who became holder was the best man. And that is the sort which brought into direct primary law. Jack of us can have his who his candidate will party "leader" and then who pulls the strings in ground have little more than the man in the s. This election law has here in California and is all of us to see that even ward step is eliminated. Repeal of the right file" by the individual McCarthy really win?—Many Senators have seen the down yet, but election figment from Wisconsin raise as to whether McCarthyism pays. Unquestionably it is certain states, but in McCarthy's home state, where they him best, did it?. That question revealed by de-Wisconsin returns. For over McCarthy campaigned Wisconsin, the Republicans by lost votes—despite the real trend in their favor. Instance, Milwaukee county carried by the Democratic state for governor in 1948,000. After McCarthy camed in the county in 1950, theocratic governor's majority 4,000. One of McCarthy's and biggest campaign meet was at Kenosha. In 1948 she went Democratic by But after McCarthy's caming, and despite the Repubtrend, it went Democratic 224. The Democrats I am inclined to side in with the councilmen in this little controversy which is of interest to me for two reasons: (1) I brought up the same subject while writing for another newspaper last summer, and (2) a gradually receding hairline warns me that someday I, too, will enjoy the dubious distinction of a slick pate. It is a chronic malfunctioning of the follicles superinduced by constant worry about what to put into this damn column. If you will observe the barber as he nervously works on a bald head, you will note that he takes great pains to make it look like a job. He spends a lot of time snipping his scissors' in thin air, combing something which isn't there, humming and hawing, fiddling around with his instruments, flapping idly at the back of his customer's neck with a folded towel, staring out the window, and sometimes even resorting to artful applied psychology to fool baldie into the idea that he is actually getting $1.25 worth of hair cut off a bleak and barren promontory which has not seen foliage since '02. The barber pours such an unceasing barrage of boring irrelevancies into his customer's To eliminate cross-filing would be a step back to the old convention system when candidates were picked in the "smoke filled" rooms and the voters would just have to go along. The average voter in California can easily be shown that if cross-filing is eliminated he will not be as free as he is now in the choice of the man he wants for a particular office. But the party "leader does not like a candidate to have this much freedom. The "leader" wants to sit in the background and have the candidate beholden to him. This is the way the rights of the people are frittered away. We remember (as a boy, of course.) being taken along, a few times, to one of the old political car that the latter wants to escape from the shop and when he is at last free, he firmly believes the job lasted an hour when in reality it was of only five minutes' duration. The barber could have accomplished the same result blindfolded by simply giving the chair a quick whirl and holding the clippers out. Bald headed men arise! Band together and stamp out this victimizing of your clan. You shouldn't have to pay one pfennig more than 50 cents for your "haircuts." Would you pay a bill for removing a 2,000 square foot lot as you would for a lawn 6,000 feet square? P. S. Any barbers reading this with ideas of personal retaliation had best forget it. I use an electric razor. KOREAN WAR (Continue from Page 1) cast was under attack by elements of seven other Chinese divisions. MacArthur's communique, issued at an hour of gravest crisis, said he lacked authority to cope with the Chinese communists, who mass their troops in Manchuria immune to aerial assault. His cosmopolitan Eighth Army of 110,000 battle-hardened troops was in retreat all along a flaming 75-mile front in northwest Korea. His hope of ending the war by Christmas was a shattered dream. His hopeful "end-the-war" offensive launched only five days ago had turned into bitter reverses. MacArthur summoned his two top field commanders, Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker and Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond from the battlefronts to Tokyo for emergency conferences. He urged that the U. N. and all governments seek a solution to the developing crisis of Chinese communist intervention. The high commander said red China had hurled 200,000 troops against U. N. forces in Korea and is throwing more thousands across the border from the "privileged sanctuary" of Manchuria. Field dispatches underscored the developing crisis. They said masses of nightfighting Chinese forces were pouring through a widening gap in the Eighth Army's right flank. Air observer reports said Chinese hordes were swarming like locusts "along every road, every gully and every ridgeline" for 30 miles north of Tokchon. Their goal obviously was to turn known to have crossed the border. "This situation, repugnant as it may be, poses issues beyond the authority of the United Nations Military Council — issues which must find their solution within the councils of the United Nations and the chancelleries of the world," MacArthur said. Military observers interpreted MacArthur's final statement to mean the Chinese should be stopped by political pressure if possible or else MacArthur should be given authority to strike against the Chinese at the Manchurian bases. Allied planes are under strict orders not to cross the Yalu river boundary in their attempts to bomb out routes for the Chinese into Korea.

The delegates sat around and went through the motions of nominating and electing candidates—but only after everything had been decided in one or two of those "smoke filled" rooms. One, held over in Riverside, comes back in memory. The Orange county delegation went over with every promise of nomination for their candidate. And our men were not exactly naive, either. Everything had been arranged, but someplace along the line old double x came into the picture and Orange county was handed a candidate they had not heard of and did not like. There was a lot of muttering and tempers flared but a little later everything calmed down and they took their medicine. They were regular party men with more integrity than is popular today. A man must think along party lines in those days or be an outcast. But the people had begun to think for themselves a little and our party "leaders" took a bad beating at the polls. They tool: it because of some poor picking by powerful "interests" in the background. But they lived to see that the candidate who became the office holder was the best man after all. And that is the sort of thing which brought into being the direct primary law. Every man jack of us can have his say about who his candidate will be. The party "leader" and the unknown who pulls the strings in the background have little more to say than the man in the street. This election law has evolved here in California and it behooves all of us to see that every backward step is eliminated.
