MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Tips on income tax... Tip to Anaheim taxpayers: Some of you can still save money on federal income taxes, but you have only a dozen days left to do it. Here's how: Crowd all the income possible into this year—when tax rates are lower than they'll be next year—and shift deductions to next year where possible. Higher taxes in 1951 already are assured by an act of Congress last September, and the increased costs of the rearranging drive point to still higher taxes to come. by shifting payment to 1951, when the deduction would cut down net income that otherwise would be subject to 1951's higher rates. These expenses can be deducted if they amount to more than five per cent of all income received in the year when the payment is made. Taxpayers who have some control over the flow of their income, and who can deduct office and business expenses, can do better. Farmers, for instance, can sell their crops or livestock this year. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago There will be no lack of festivities next week. The Episcopalians have a Fair and Christmas tree at Enterprise hall. The Presbyterian Sunday School have a tree at the church. A tree will also be hoisted at the depot and a party will be given at Fairview. Theo. Reiser, Esq., has received his commission as Inspector of the 28th Masonic District comprising the counties of Los Angeles and San Bernardino. A malignant fever of the typhoid type is raging among the Tejon ranch Indians. There was considerable excitement last night about a race between the coaches of the two hotels. We again feel constrained to refer to the Fair and supper to be given at Enterprise hall Thursday keeper. The Turners assisted by the Ladies Society of the Turn Verein will celebrate Christmas at Turner hall. There will be a Christmas tree and Santa Claus will be on hand to distribute gifts to all. Gardiner and Pitblordo the Fullerton liverymen are driving a stylish $150 rubber-tired buggy which they purchased from Max Jacobson the Santa Ana vehicle dealer. The Farmers' club and Co. E both have invitations out for a ball at the Hotel Del Campo on New Year's Eve. Mrs. Herbert A. Johnston will hold her after-wedding reception on the afternoon and evening of Saturday Dec. 29, and will be at home on Tuesday afternoon and evenings thereafter. 25 Years Ago No steps have been taken in these expenses can be deducted if they amount to more than five per cent of all income received in the year when the payment is made. Taxpayers who have some control over the flow of their income, and who can deduct office and business expenses, can do better. Farmers, for instance, can sell their crops or livestock this year in order to crowd in income. They can delay until next year deductible outlays for such things as barn and fence repairs. Businessmen, lawyers and doctors can try to speed up collections to this year, postpone deductible outlays—for supplies, organization dues and the like—until 1951. Some caution is required, however, lest a taxpayer crowd in so much income that he'll push himself into a higher tax-rate bracket this year!!! WASHINGTON—White policy can change overnight for the present we have tention of mobilizing the disorganized army of munist guerrillas in Chinadent Truman so advised of Congressmen at an record and very candid last week. Truman also is holding his resolve not to drop the bomb in China or Korea. "That doesn't mean that appeasing the Chinese nationists—far from it," Truhis callers.

The Elks also have abandoned their time - honored custom of giving a show and distributing presents at one of the theatres. The churches, however, are all giving Yuletide entertainments and the doors are open to all who care to see them. At the White Temple church a profoundly impressive pageant has been arranged. It is under the direction of Mrs. Visel and nearly fifty persons participate in it. Among those on the various committees are Mrs. G. M. Tedrick, Mrs. E. E.

They came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. When they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying told them concerning this child. And all that heard wondered at the things shepherds told them. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them. (Adapted from 15-20.) (Tomorrow: The Star.) WASHINGTON—White House policy can change overnight, but for the present we have no intention of mobilizing the vast but disorganized army of anti-communist guerrillas in China. President Truman so advised a group keep out. Any interference, according to the proposed Chinese Monroe Doctrine, would be justification for war.

President Truman so advised a group of Congressmen at an off-the-record and very candid meeting last week. Truman also is holding firm to this resolve not to drop the atomic bomb in China or Korea. "That doesn't mean that we are appeasing the Chinese communists—far from it," Truman told his callers. "They are aggressors and we will continue to treat them as such." Truman added that if British Prime Minister Clement Attlee came with any appeasement options, he left without them. He agreed with Attlee, however, that if we used the A-bomb, Russia would seize the opportunity to retaliate against London, Berlin and Paris. But the argument that carried the most weight with him, Truman explained, was that we should not atom-bomb Russian satellites in reprisal against the Kremlin. Regarding the question of arming Chinese guerrillas against the communists, the president pointed out that it might lead to a relictory communist move against the Philippines; also that the guerrillas are too "inaccessible" and scattered to be supplied from the aid or welded together into an effective fighting force. Note — The Congressmen who conferred with the president included Francis Walter of Pennsylvania, Brooks Hays of Arkansas, House whip Percy Priest of Tennessee, all Democrats; with with Kenneth Keating of New York and Walter Judd of Minnesota, Republicans.

Note—Nehru is not in sympathy with the Chinese policy, believes Europeans and Asiatics can cooperate together. Defense Notes When President Truman first wrote last week's national emergency speech he called for a 4,000,000-man army and navy. At the last minute he scaled it down to three and a half million men—a victory for the Air Force. The Air Force wants priority given to airplanes and weapons instead of manpower . . . Alcide De Gasperi of Italy is the latest European premier to propose a visit to Washington . . . Chester Bowles, retiring governor of Connecticut, has been offered the very important job of directing the multibillion-dollar arms aid program to Europe. (Bowles has declined the offer of ambassador to the Philippines.) . . . U. S. Intelligence expects hordes of Chinese so-called "volunteers" to pour into Indo-China any day . . . Mayor Martin Kennedy of Chicago has staged a farsighted campaign to alert the public against enemy sabotage. Kennedy put on a real-life show, illustrating how enemy agents could poison Chicago's drinking water.

Purcell Smith, the $65,000-a-year private power lobbyist, was caught sending notes to Congressman Jensen of Iowa inside the House appropriations committee—while the committee was debating public power.

Oblong Views FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER (The Poor Man's Drew Pearson) IT ALWAYS TAKES the joy out of anticipation of a holiday to think of the carnage on our highways, and it is an unpleasant thought, but we should not try to evade it. If this fine weather continues (this edition went to press at 2 p.m. today) the highways will be clogged with holiday motorists, all bent on getting somewhere in a terrible hurry, and many of them, planning to see Santa Claus, will see white-coated surgeons instead. Excessive speed, carelessness, fatigue, intemperate wassailing, will turn many a joyous holiday automobile trip into tragedy. It is an all-too familiar scene on the highways . . . the rending crash of steel and tin . . . the cloud of dust and ground glass . . . that sudden silence . . . then the moans . . . the inevitable crowd of gawking spectators fascinated at the sight of slowly reddening upholstery . For the sake of yourself and others, use extra caution on that trip over the week end. THE MECHANICAL AND scientific wizardry of the men who manufacture the modern automobile has resulted in a machine which is well-nigh accident proof if handled sensibly. But the engineers have no power over that intangible human element which is the cause of a vast majority of automobile accidents. Ego must have a lot to do with traffic accidents. The meekest person in the world, placed behind the steering wheel of a car is apt to become a bully. It is Capital News Capsules Another music critic—President Truman has a different opinion of at least one music critic—Mrs. Helen Knox Spain of the Atlanta journal, who wrote such a favorable review of Margaret's concert in Atlanta last season that the president bubbled over with joy and telegraphed the Atlanta Journal for extra copies of Margaret's picture. (Contrary to rumor, the president did not use profane language in his note to critic Paul Hume of the Washington Post.) U. S. trained Germans—Without waiting for European diplomats to come to terms, the U. S. Army has quietly trained 10,000 West Germans right under the noses of the Russians to serve as the nucleus for a future West German army. Two thousand have been armed and equipped into battalions in West Berlin, with the rest stationed in four training centers in the Western zone under the label of "labor battalions." Actually, they are carefully selected anti-Nazis who will be the officers of the new German army. Chinese Monroe Doctrine Most significant news to come out of Asia recently resulted from a talk between Prime Minister Nehru of India and U. S. Ambassador Loy Henderson, at which Nehru broke the news of the new Chinese Monroe Doctrine for Asia. Nehru reported that the Indian ambassador in Peiping had cabled that the Chinese communists were planning to pop a big surprise on the Western world in the form of a Monroe Doctrine. This would mean that all white and non-Asiatic nations were to Mail Bag To the editor: Recently I received this poem from a boy named Joe in Korea. Would you be interested in printing it? "War" It's midnight. And on this lonely Road I stand. A full morning's only light, to show Me this wicked land! In my Heart I know This isn't right. It's not for what we American's stand. And as I stare in Disgust, Down this silvery strand. I think with delight!! How good it will feel. To be back in my Homeland! From a Sailor named Joe. Wanda Simeon.

TO HONOR FIRST SETTLERS TEL AVIV (P)—The 66 families—the first who settled 40 years ago in what is now Israel's largest city, Tel Aviv: 350,000 inhabitants—will be honored by a monument bearing their names. It will be set up in front of the Tel Aviv Museum. Aaron Freiber will be the sculptor. Ego must have a lot to do with traffic accidents. The meekest person in the world, placed behind the steering wheel of a car is apt to become a bully. It is like giving the weakling a gun. The man who has never been able to get very far in life at last finds himself as good as the next fellow out on a four-lane highway. He is free to weave in and out of traffic, pull ahead of the wealthy man in the big limousine up ahead and show them all that they have at last been reduced to a common level. Tramping down on the gas, he enjoys a moment of glory, blowing all of his pent-up frustrations out the tail-pipe of his automobile. He may kill himself in the act, but at long last he is at least attracting some attention. Not since he was chosen for a three-line part in his junior class play has he savored such sweet triumph. These are the fellows to be on the alert for during that holiday trip, and a safety slogan used by the California Highway Patrol is a good one to remember: "ACCIDENT is just a word until you have one." NEW TYPE DIESIS TURIN (P)—A diesel-powered raft now undergoing two coaches are Greece, Egypt and Fiat-Grandi-Motor. The cars are built cylinder horizontal Spain has also Fiat, officials said. English Paper Queries Hoover And Isolationism LONDON (P)—The Manchester Guardian said today former President Herbert Hoover's remarks about the scope of U.S. defense efforts raise once again the question whether there is a swing to isolationism in America. The independent liberal newspaper said in an editorial: "A few short weeks ago the British papers were being loftily rebuked by American columnists for seeing an isolationist swing in American politics. "The Manchester Guardian was a notorious offender, Mr. Trymond Moley, for instance, was moved to write: "'The oracular Manchester Guardian, after the election, saw what it carelessly and slurringly called 'isolationism' sweeping the country.'" "That Mr. Moley misquoted us is neither here nor there, but if he looks at the utterances of some of his Republican friends in the last few days we wonder whether he can be quite so confident that the Manchester Guardian, the economist, and the times were as wrong as he alleged them to be. "Of course much depends on what one means by 'isolationism.'" Mr. Hoover, for instance, contends that what he proposes is the opposite. He must tell that tale other piece of lazy and uninformed reporting.' So what are we poor Europeans to think?" The conservative London Daily Telegraph said the views expressed by Hoover would "leave Western Europe to fend militarily for itself, which in present circumstances would mean it was at the mercy of the red army." The liberal Norwegian paper Dagbladet declared "The neo-isolationists in the United States have got a new spokesman, old Herbert Hoover." French diplomatic circles, meanwhile, described Hoover's remark as untimely. The speech received scant attention in newspapers elsewhere in Europe. Utilities Rally In Stock Market NEW YORK (P) — Utilities headed a rally today in the stock market but developed little following in other groups.

Last year at this time in the school year we had furnished 4701 garments to the needy children in the state via the Parent-Teacher Associations. Since school opened this year we have supplied 9199 garments, an increase of 95.62 per cent, plus 2000 articles to the Navajo Indians at Tonalea, Arizona. Thanking you again for your kindness and with best wishes for a very merry Christmas. I remain Most cordially yours, Jack C. Dutton, D.T.A. Salvage Co. Editor's note: The article Mr. Dutton refers to is one in which Mr. Hunter explained how Mr. Dutton is helping P-TAs and needy families by turning usable clothing over to them. It all started when Mr. Hunter wondered what was behind the note his child brought home from school asking for rags. It turned out to be a most interesting story and we appreciate Mr. Dutton's note. In Stock Market NEW YORK (AP) — Utilities headed a rally today in the stock market but developed little following in other groups. Rails tipped down in small amounts for the most part in response to the government's settlement with four major railroad operating unions of a two-year dispute. The agreement calls for substantial pay increases and other benefits, but the question of higher freight rates and passenger fares to pay for the higher wage was left unanswered for the moment. Trading volume was estimated at $3,000,000 shares, somewhat under the past three days when the market was rising. Yesterday's trading came to 3,500,000 shares.
