VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM EXECUTIVES—Adolf Schoepe, left, newly-elected president of the Chamber of Commerce board of directors, clasps hand of outgoing president Warren Ashleigh. In line are new vice president Dick Gay and re-elected secretary-manager E. W. Moeller. Adolf Schoepe Named President Of Chamber Board of Directors Anaheim Chamber of Commerce directors last night unanimously elected Adolf Schoepe board president for the coming year. Nominations were closed immediately after Clyde Cromer put the Kwikset Locks, Inc., president up for the job. Schoepe succeeds Warren Ashleigh, board president for the past 18 months. Unanimous approval was also accorded to sole candidates for vice-president and secretary-manager of the Anaheim chamber. Dick Gay, Bank of America, was named vice-president. E. W. Moeller was re-elected to the secretary-manager's job. Also on the slate at the Elk's club meeting last night was installation of recently elected board of directors members. Taking up seats on the board last night were three-year appointees Gay, Wilson Phelps, L. L. Jones, E. R. McCoy, Walt Taylor, Tom Yellis and Robert Rossberg. Bert Arnold joined the board for a two year stint. New board members were installed by Ken Hellyer who charged them with fulfilling the "serious responsibility" which the current economic situation imposes upon them. The new board members replace Glenn Hipes, Howard Loudon, Clayton Allen, J. B. Collings, Oscar Renner, Merle Soden and John Shea. Hellyer also praised highly the Santa Ana Gets Trash-Collection Back in Lap Santa Ana city today was back in the business of trash and garbage collection. The council's "big three" which several weeks ago awarded the trash and garbage collection contract to a private firm, Johnson Bros. of Compton, took the job back at a conference with the Compton firm, until such time as the court rules on an injunction suit brought by Thomas Davis, Santa Ana taxpayer, to cancel the contract. The move was made after the court this week overruled a city council demurrer to Davis' suit and ordered the city to answer within 20 days. Also withdrawn was the sale of the city's trash and garbage rolling stock and other equipment to the Johnsons. Davis, himself a former em- New board members were installed by Ken Hellyer who charged them with fulfilling the "serious responsibility" which the current economic situation imposes upon them.

Hellyer also praised highly the regime of outgoing president Ashleigh. "I know of no man who has given more unselfishly of his time and energy to the Chamber of Commerce than president Warren Ashleigh," said Hellyer. Ashleigh received a pen and pencil set in token of Chamber esteem.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1950 Communist Troops Drive Against UN So Overage Expected With Final Hallowe’en Tally Although the final financial statement of the 27th Annual Hallowe’en festival showed a deficit, Chamber of Commerce Manager Earnest Moeller this morning said that he anticipates an overage when the final report is turned in by the fair committee. Revenue for the festival netted $5564.10, while expenses were $8136.79, leaving a deficit of $2572.69. Moeller said that this was the final statement of finances Final Hallowe'en Tally Although the final financial statement of the 27th Annual Hallowe'en festival showed a deficit, Chamber of Commerce Manager Earnest Moeller this morning said that he anticipates an overage when the final report is turned in by the fair committee. Revenue for the festival netted $5564.10, while expenses were $8136.79, leaving a deficit of $2572.69. Moeller said that this was the final statement of finances—that there was nothing outstanding in either the way of assets or liabilities. The fair committee, he said, still has some bills to be paid, but it is expected that enough will be left to wipe out the festival deficit and leave an overage. That excess will be placed in the Hallowe'en fund, he said, to be used in work necessary for getting the festival under way next year. Preliminary bills in the past have been paid out of the general chamber fund. The breakfast tickets and dollar button sales were the greatest sources of revenue in the 1950 festival. Breakfast tickets brought in $2570.67 and the buttons $1748.88. Several items, however, required an outlay of over $500. The Pageant parade, including balloons, was the most expensive, costing $2781.15. Other costly items were the breakfast, $1,-582.20; publicity and advertising, $1145.87, and Retsoob expense, $553.44. Solons Approve Corporation Tax Boost WASHINGTON (AP)—A House-Senate conference committee today approved unanimously a $3,300,000,000 boost in corporation taxes, including a 77 per cent levy on excess profits. The legislation would increase America's tax load to the highest level in history—$45,000,000,-000 or more. The previous record of federal tax collection was set in wartime 1945 when the government took in $45,900,000,000. Following closely on the heels of last September's bill boosting both individual and corporation taxes, the new measure is intended to provide more billions for defense and curb profiteering, and check inflation. While the committee-approved measure compromises separate bills passed by the Senate and House, final Congressional action has been delayed until Jan. 1. That's because the House, for all practical purposes, has quit work until after the Christmas holidays. The Senate, however, may approve the bill later today. Retail Division Members Named Vera Auest, Leavitt Ford, Earle Jackson and E. C. West are the new members of the executive chamber of the retail division of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. They were elected for a period of three years to replace outgoing members Oscar Solter, Russell Renner, Bob Read and W. E. White, it was reported by Solter, Renner and William A. Sowder, members of the nominations and elections committee. At the same time, Dick Dickenson was elected to serve one year of the unexpired term of E. S. Hoobler. WEATHERMAN SEES SUNNY CHRISTMAS The weatherman peered through the fog today and announced that Christmas will be sunny. In fact, he sees no rain before midweek, if then.

Consumer Goods Cutback Undecided; Analyzing Like Hell,’ Says Wilson WASHINGTON (AP)—Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson said to it is too early to tell how much consumer goods production may as a result of the stepped up munitions program. "We are still in the analyzing stage—we are analyzing like hell," Wilson told reporters after meeting behind closed doors with the Senate Expenditures committee. Wilson said he urged the committee to approve a bill which would give President Truman emergency power to reorganize federal agencies. A newsman asked Wilson whether the mobilization speed-up—particularly heavy output of munitions—foreshadows any drastic cut in the production of consumer goods. Wilson called that "a very meaty subject," and added that an answer is almost impossible at this time.

Wilson called that "a very meaty subject" and added that an answer is almost impossible at this time. He said that among other things it would depend on the determination of military requirements by the Defense Department. "I am now in the process of trying to boil it down," Willson said. "I am trying to get the facts." He said one of the other problems he is working on is how to handle stabilization of wages in the automobile industry.
