A reader suggests ... We are always delighted when the readers of this page come into the Gazette office and give us suggestions on things to write in this column. One of the leading citizens of Anaheim walked in this morning and called our attention to a story printed recently in the Los Angeles Times. It was the account of a sermon delivered by Dr. James W. Fifield, Jr., minister of the First Congregational church in Los Angeles and called one of the most influential Protestant leaders of America. Our friend asked us to reprint some of Dr. Fifield's statements. He said Anaheimers might be interested in them. We are happy to oblige. Here then, are some of the statements by Dr. Fifield lifted by us from the Los Angeles Times: every man and woman in the nation for being overcredulous in their faith in their leaders and for their personal corruption. He described Stalin as "the foulest dictator and anti-Christ in history." "Stalin has killed 15,000,000 souls and now, I am informed, there are 10,000 murders a day in China. Mao Tse-tung is second only to Stalin in ruthless brigandry and murder." "And these," he said, "are the men with whom our leaders have dealt with on amicable terms." Dr. Fifield said the principal need is for each citizen to evaluate the situation, not only in the government but in himself. "Each of us needs to think and do and say only that which is honorable and true," he said. James W. Fifield, Jr., minister of the First Congregational church in Los Angeles and called one of the most influential Protestant leaders of America. Our friend asked us to reprint some of Dr. Fifield's statements. He said Anaheimers might be interested in them. We are happy to oblige. Here then, are some of the statements by Dr. Fifield lifted by us from the Los Angeles Times: Dr. Fifield told his congregation that the United States has been betrayed by its leaders at Yalta and ever since; and he called for a repudiation of present leaders—calling them political "grays." "Clean out our fifth columns," he said. "Socialists as well as communists—these socialists who have been trying for so long to socialize our country. Clean them out of our churches, our unions, our magazines, our newspapers, our schools and colleges, and businesses and our government." Speaking of communists he said: "There are not enough of them in jail. They are free on bail or bond, while our boys are dying in Korea." Dr. Fifield called for fighting Russia with its own weapons—instigation of revolt and arming of rebels and arming of any nation that will light Russia. He said the people of the United States are a stunned people. They have just awakened to the fact that the war which ended only five year ago ended in betrayal. Dr. Fifield asserted much of the blame should be placed on China. Mao Tse-tung is second only to Stalin in ruthless brigandry and murder." "And these," he said, "are the men with whom our leaders have dealt with on amicable terms." Dr. Fifield said the principal need is for each citizen to evaluate the situation, not only in the government but in himself. "Each of us needs to think and do say only that which is honorable and true," he said. "Under Jesus Christ we need a respiritualization of our family life and of our children. "Make your decisions courageously. The time for wishful thinking is past. There must be an end to the grays. Things must be black or white. "It is a herculean task for a nation to undertake. But, it means a moral rearmament that could save a civilization. If it fails we shall drift on and on along the road which leads to communists world domination, in which life will be only existence, in which God will be banished or damned, and in which the Dark Ages again will be humanity's lot." And, those are the thoughts of one of the Protestant leaders on the West Coast. They were commended to us for publication by one of our readers. We pass them along to you as the expression of at least one well-informed and thoughtful citizen in Anaheim. And, from time to time we will publish other comments which have interested Anaheimers and they bring to us. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

WASHINGTON — The White House chef scored a great victory at a bi-partisan foreign policy at the president's luncheon for Britains Clement Attlee and Congressional leaders on the yacht Willisburg. The atmosphere was somewhat tilt until jolly Senator Alex Wiley liking Republican on the Foreign Nations committee, spied the secret. Glowing with a huge smile told Attlee: Mr. Prime Minister, you are privileged to eat America's choice dessert." It was bleu cheese from Wisconsin. Phony Air Raid The Pentagon building, home of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had another bombing scare this week. An unidentified plane was picked up on the radar screen along the Canadian-alpine border. At the first report some officers at the Pentagon got so excited that they actually called their wives and told them to take their adds and go down into the basement. However, a jet interceptor drew up and identified the plane merely an American C-47 flying in from Labrador. While President Truman andment Attlee were conferring what to do about it, the Houseined Services committee was ring a grim closed-door report the debacle in Korea. Adm.

President However, a jet interceptor now up and identified the plane merely an American C-47 flying in from Labrador. While President Truman andiment Attlee were conferring what to do about it, the House armed Services committee wasiring a grim closed-door report the debacle in Korea. Adm. Forrest Sherman, efficient Chief of Naval operations as a member of the Joint Chiefs Staff, tersely reported: "We've got to face the facts. Our military position today is less than it was after Pearl Harbor." It looks like we will have to evacuate and I think the Navy handle its end of the job," Adm. said. He added, however, that there might be "losses" if the Navy had contend with Russian attack lines and submarines. But even if that happens we'll get the job done," the adal predicted. Coalition Government?? Whenever friends urge President Truman to form a coalition government, he throws up his bills and wails: "But where can good men come into government?" This column, which has urged aging topflight Republicans in the administration, herewith presents four experienced and Republican: Paul Hoffman—Ex-ECA administrator who put across the Maril plan in Europe. He would be natural for a cabinet post or a high position in the State Department. Hoffman is now ringing Europe for the Ford foundation. Wes Strauss—Ex-Secretary to Robert Hoover in World War I, World War II Admiral, and re-25 Years Ago The Republican Study club at regular meeting Friday pre-tested a resolution endorsing the permanent court of International Justice.

Grafton Mrs. Miller read the lesson. cently retired from the Atomic Energy commission. President Truman sided with Strauss in the debate over making the hydrogen bomb. Charles Taft—Cincinnati lawyer and brother of Sen. Robert Taft. Charles Taft served in both the Federal Security Agency and State Department during World War II. General "Wild Bill" Donovan—Wartime director of the Office of Strategic Services. He organized U.S. spying and behind-the-lines activities, and was assistant attorney general in the Coolidge administration. Some of Truman's closest advisers, including Democratic Chairman Bill Boyle, tried to persuade the president to make Donovan secretary of defense instead of General Marshall, but the inside fact is that Truman doesn't like him. All the above are Republicans; all are both able and patriotic. Headlines and Headaches Rumors that Bill Boyle is resigning as Democratic National chairman are about as accurate as General MacArthur's bring-the-boys-home-by-Christmas promise. Boyle can only resign to the full Democratic committee at a meeting which he must call himself... Backstage fact is that some of the Ed Pauley oil boys have been gunning for Boyle ever since he persuaded the president to veto the Kerr Natural Gas bill; Also since he encouraged HST to be tough on tidelands oil... It's now becoming clear why Senator Downey, Democrat, duced out of the Senate early to make room for Senator - elect Nixon, Republican, a friend of the oil lobby. Downey will not only represent the city of Long Beach; Calif., which owns a stack of tidelands oil leases along the edge of the Pacific, but will also represent San Diego and Oakland. Long Beach, however, will pay most of the freight—a total of $1500 Oblong Views FROM AN EGG-SHARED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER (The Poor Man's Drew Pearson) READERS OF THIS daily mess of potage (a rugged little minority group it ever there was one) know by this time that I am unalterably opposed to antique dealers. The dealer in antiques should be exposed for what he really is: one who shrewdly plays on human nature to traffic in junk for an astounding fee. The person who buys 75-year-old furniture, glassware, pots and pans at 100 times the original price is an escapist. He finds the modern tempo too fast and seeks communion with the dear, dead days of the past. He would recoil at the thought of driving a car of less than 1950 vintage, yet he will load up his parlor with old china closets, wash stands, flat irons and spinning wheels and such just to maintain that link with the days of yore (whatever "yore" is). My last encounter with an antique dealer concerned not the purchase of mouldering old non-essentials, but the purchase of a brand new hooked rug. We had gone in just to "poke around" a bit, and the proprietress (who looked not unlike an antique herself) had astutely reasoned from the appearance of our clothes and the car we had arrived in that we were not about to pay $750 for a 1776 candle-cutter or for that matter an Colon Quips The other day a man in town came into the office and announced his full page ad in our money yet. As cooly as if he heard the guy, one said "no." Sitting on the side of most choked on our (a free plug) concentrate juice. We want advertise as the next guy. (A guy got an ad from chant.) Why did we turn well, the fellow ruler which insinuates Anaheim merchants of their sales and sees offhand manner, and line" (with all that) It doesn't take a small home-town nor see that that ain't right. We know about the services of Anaheim from years and years from them and we don't sell them out to "buy vertising methods." We don't care how are of their products—to see one fellow step toes of tried and true in order to get a little better. We've got a fresh daily newspaper by we hope to keep it there have an obligation to thing we print on an for our readers (and 'em, don't think we live for our advertisers—all, are the fellows with their purchases of 25 Years Ago The Republican Study club at the regular meeting Friday pre-ended a resolution endorsing the permanent court of International Justice.

In the drive to collect funds to reserve "Old Ironsides" from detection, the Anaheim Elks lodge sent over the top. Anaheim'sota was $320 and the lodge used $329.75. REDS SELL VIENNA HOUSES VIENNA (F) — House-hungry Vienna is gaining something from Communism. The real estate market in the Austrian capital has suddenly taken a turn for the better. Scores of houses and offices whose owners live in nearby communist Hungary are being offered for sale. Vienna newspapers report that Hungarian owners have been forced to turn over their rights to the Communist government. And the government now is selling all the property—and keeping the cash. Dr. Frederic Ewens, Manhattan Beach, pres. Calif Academy of General Practitioners—"The federal government is spending millions of the taxpayers' money trying to make the public dissatisfied with medical care in our country." It’s now becoming clear why Senator Downey, Democrat, duced out of the Senate early to make room for Senator - elect Nixon, Republican, a friend of the oil lobby. Downey will not only represent the city of Long Beach; Calif., which owns a stack of tide-lands oil leases along the edge of the Pacific, but will also represent San Diego and Oakland. Long Beach, however, will pay most of the freight—a total of $1500 monthly plus $1500 monthly expenses or $36,000 a year... Long Beach Harbor commissioners at first told the press to withhold any mention of their hiring of the ex-Senator. Reeling at me over the sights of an old buccaneer's pistol (tagged $150) which I still like to think wasn't loaded, she said, "Twenty-five dollars." This sounded fair enough, and when she said that the rugs were made by a handicapped old lady up in Pasadena I closed the deal and ordered one. But then, a few days later, my wife talked to a merchant about these rugs. The merchant said: "Hmmm. Twenty-five dollars. Why I could get ninety dollars for rugs like that at my store." In about two weeks, we went back for our rug. The proprietress fondly rubbing goose grease into an ancient alpenstock, told us that the price of the rug had gone up from $25 to $37.50.

This is the paper where you see the news as well as read it. This is the paper which has always welcomed the local news happening. And yet you realize that we also have the best in world-wide news coverage. We mean pictures as well as straight news. Do you get what we are talking about? Sure you do. Even if you haven't heard the "baloney" blurb. But the point here is that we make no "deals." We charge the amount printed on our rate card for EVERY inch appearing in the Gazette. We have no special discounts and make no "deals." We feel that our customers run a legitimate business, too. If they do not, then let some other guy make them a "deal." It is easy to kid anyone out yourself. When you look in the mirror, you don't want a "deal" looking back. You should hope to see some character and integrity. You can't make a "deal" with yourself. It is like cheating at solitare. We make no "deals" and do not care to do business with those who insist on one. If our space was only worth half price, that is what we would charge for it. How do you like that? Hal Boyle With the U.S. Eighth Army, Korea (P)—The "buddy system" has been a failure in the opinion of most frontline commanders in Korea. This attempt to integrate South Korean soldiers with American Colony Quips The other day a new merchant in town came into the Gazette office and announced he would buy a full page ad in our paper—for money yet. As cooly as if he hadn't even heard the guy, one of our boys said "no." Sitting on the sidelines we almost choked on our "Sunkist" (a free plug) concentrated orange juice. We want advertising as oddly as the next guy. (And, the next guy got an ad from the merchant.) Why did we turn it down? We'll, the fellow runs an attack line which insinuates that several Anaheim merchants treat certain of their sales and services in an offhand manner, and as a "side-line" (with all that implies.) It doesn't take a publisher of a small home-town newspaper to see that that ain't right. We know about the sales and services of Anaheim merchants from years and years of buying from them and we don't intend to sell them out to "big city" advertising methods. We don't care how proud they are of their products—but we hate to see one fellow stepping on the toes of tried and true merchants in order to get a little sales gain. We've got a fresh start in this daily newspaper business—and we hope to keep it that way. We have an obligation to keep everything we print on an honest plane for our readers (and we've got 'em, don't think we haven't) and for our advertisers—who, after all, are the fellows who through their purchases of advertising Hal Boyle With the U. S. Eighth Army, Korea (LP)—The "buddy system" has been a failure in the opinion of most frontline commanders in Korea. This attempt to integrate South Korean soldiers with American front line outfits was begun in August. It was an emergency military measure. In those desperate days of defense along the Naktong river line American soldiers were not arriving in enough numbers to replace the men lost or wounded in battle. So it was decided to fill the gaps in the line with selected South Koreans. This emergency program to put Koreans shoulder to shoulder in the battle line with American troops became known as the buddy system. To get the needed volunteers some enterprising commanders sent officers into Korean cities and invited picked native policemen to come out and spend a day with their outfit. After a big meal of hot American chow and the gift of a few candy bars and packages of cigarettes, many of the special guests quickly decided they preferred this lush life with the U. S. Army to lonely police duty or chasing guerrillas. The program started off in an atmosphere of one big happy family. Each recruit was assigned to an American buddy, whose job was to act as his friend and teacher in learning how to be a soldier. Some units that enthusiastically adopted the buddy system soon were 15 per cent or more Korean in strength. A few regimental commanders however violently boycotted the whole program by failing to do anything to recruit native volunteers.

We've got a fresh start in this daily newspaper business—and we hope to keep it that way. We have an obligation to keep everything we print on an honest plane for our readers (and we've got 'em, don't think we haven't) and for our advertisers—who, after all, are the fellows who through their purchases of advertising space supply you with the newspaper. We believe in that—and we are so strong in that belief that we turned down a fellow who advertises heavily. Another thing. We are going to be here for years and years striving to give honest services to all our readers and advertisers. In that connection, you'd be surprised at the number of fellows coming in and asking for "deals." Maybe other people can afford to give deals, but we turn them down. We give an advertiser the space he wants, not more. We charge him what the rate card says, not less. Once you get started on those "deals," you can't stop them. What we are striving for at this point in our existence is to bring readers a well balanced paper based on what we honestly believe to be the best interests of all: readers and advertisers alike. We figure we can grow bigger and better on that foundation. (We me to be suspicious of all merchants and was directly responsible for the first pistol-whipping my wife has had all year.)
