Local disaster control... In Anaheim, as well as other American cities, emphasis is being placed on disaster control and civilian defense. This is the result of the crisis with China and the possibility of World War III around the corner. The American homeland, almost unscratched by the enemy in two World Wars, is unprepared for enemy attacks in case of a third. Therefore, with the world situation growing worse, civil defense has become a subject of red-hot activity almost overnight. In the First World War, the enemy dented the U.S. mainland by a few acts of sabotage only. Probably the closest approach made by German military forces occurred on July 21, 1918. Just off the Cape Code shore, in plain view of astonished bathers on the view, Oregon, on May 5, 1945. The FBI says there were no cases of enemy-directed sabotage in World War II. Eight German saboteurs were brought to Florida and Long Island by submarines in June, 1942; but they were arrested in New York and Chicago, and six of them went speedily to the electric chair. Six months before Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt had created the Office of Civilian Defense (OCD) by executive order. The OCD issued arm bands for air raid wardnes, and so on. It also got some unlucky publicity—something to do with fan dancing. Congress, providing $100,000,000 for the agency early in 1942, prohibited the use of the money for instruction in "physical fitness by WASHINGTON — President Truman was set to order a fire alarm on all prices as a part of emergency proclamation, until he had a heart-to-heart talk with economic stabilization director Valentine and price administrator Mike Di Salle. Mr. Truman called in the men, outlined his plan and asked for comment. Valentine threw his hands. "Mr. President," he said. "don't know how we could enforce the order. What kind of a do you have, Mike?" "A secretary, a telephone a legal adviser," replied the usually jovial ex-mayor of Tolson. "The problem is, Mr. President," added Valentine, "if can't enforce the freeze, that will be such general disregard that price ceilings will be a job. We cannot afford to let price stabilization be destroyed before it is strong enough to be effective." The president then agreed to hold off the price freeze until least a skeleton staff is organized. Note—the inescapable fact that the White House has months to appoint a price administrator. Three months alone has passed since congress gave the president power to control all certain farm prices. (The fair lobby excluded some of the from the price-control legislation.) Furthermore, three experts... In the First World War, the enemy dented the U.S. mainland by a few acts of sabotage only. Probably the closest approach made by German military forces occurred on July 21, 1918. Just off the Cape Code shore, in plain view of astonished bathers on the beach, a U-Boat poured shells into a string of four barges and sank them. In the Second World War, the enemy made deeper pinpricks. On the evening of Feb. 23, 1942, while Americans listened to a fireside chat by President Roosevelt, a Japanese submarine rose from the sea near Santa Barbara and shelled an oil refinery. In the same period, a submarine shelled the shore batteries at Astoria, Oregon. And a plane released from a submarine dropped incendiary bombs near Brookings, Oregon, in an effort to set forest fires. Other submarine-based aircraft are believed to have flown over Seattle. Air raid scares agitated Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and other cities—1440 rounds of anti-aircraft ammunition were fired in Los Angeles—but there appears to be no proof that enemy planes visited any of those places. Later in the war, in 1944 and 1945, the Japanese sent thousands of bomb-laden balloons floating across the Pacific. One of them killed a woman and five children who were picknicking near Lake IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

Furthermore, three ex-price administrators are easily available in or near Washington—Leon Henderson, Paul Porte and retiring Gov. Chester Bowl of Connecticut. However, the president seems to have an infertility complex about calling men who served under Roosevelt. Secret Aluminum Deal A secret deal has been made between the United States and Canada to expand Canadian aluminum production at the expense of aluminum mills in the United States. However, the Aluminum Corporation of America which operates an affiliate in Canada indirectly will get windfall. The deal was arranged in private talks between Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer, production boss William Harrison and Canada's minister of trade C. D. Howe. By it the United States agrees to furnish steel for building a giant aluminum work in the wilds of British Columbia which though it will take three years to complete, will eventually produce 500,000 tons of aluminum annually. The deal follows urgings by Alcoa (Aluminum Company of America) that the government buy more aluminum from Canada. This would throw the business to Alcoa's Siamese twin, Alcan, and at the same time prevent building up Alcoa's competitors in the U.S.A. Alcoa's first attempt to swing this deal failed last October when Stuart Symington and Jess Larson stopped it. However, Secretary of Commerce Sawyer and production boss Harrison have now gone over their heads. The new Canadian aluminum center will be located at Kitimat, a deserted Indian village in the heart of a virgin forest wilderness. This is only 1600 miles from Sihekian. 75 Years Ago We are called upon to explain and therefore humbly beg to state that Mr. Tyler, the urbane agent at the depot, is not the same thief that stole Mitchell's team a few days ago.

A man going by the name of Chris, met with a severe accident at the store of Heiman & George yesterday by the accidental discharge of a pistol. The pistol dropped from his pocket to the floor striking on the hammer. The ball entered the fleshy part of his leg. County Division—A petition, of which the following is a copy, has been signed by a large number of the most responsible citizens of Anaheim and surrounding towns: Anaheim, Dec. 23, 1875—The citizens of Los Angeles county south of New River are requested to meet at Kroeger's hall in the town of Anaheim, on January 4, 1876, at 2 o'clock p.m., to discuss the advisability of County Division, and institute proceedings to accomplish it.

Louis Demartino where he got those steaks. Not even his superior officer, Lt. Morgan Murphy. In this battle-whipped land, where you choke down C rations three times a day, soldiers drool even at the sight of a tough old rooster running across the road. And there was the corporal with 15 steaks, tender, juicy, and each three inches thick. What Murphy asked was: "When do we eat?" The two members of an airborne division knew it wouldn't do for word of the steak to get around their own outfit. In deep secrecy they drove to a neighborhood town, found a mess hall where they were unknown, and had a little talk with (a) the captain of the mess, and (b) the mess sergeant. The captain and the sergeant were stunned with delight. In exchange for a steak each they promised to prepare, reverently and lovely, a steak dinner that night and a steak breakfast next morning. The wonderful dinner was served personally by the sergeant on schedule, behind locked doors in the kitchen. The steaks fulfilled every promise. Murphy ate two, Demartino, a grinning, husky 20-year-old from 80 South Broadway, Yonkers, N.Y., had to be restrained from eating three.

Isolation Battle A backstage move to dump independent Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon and place Homer Capehart, ardent Indiana isolationist, on the foreign relations committee, is being cooked up in senate cloakrooms. The diametrically opposing views of these two men were summed up at the recent closed-door Republican caucus. "We ought to demand that the president not only fire Acheson," Capehart grumbled, "but replace him with a man who disagrees with everything the secretary of state stands for." In contrast, Morse cooked his goose with Republican diehards by arguing against the anti-Acheson resolutions. Since then the move to substiute Capehart for Morse on the vital foreign relations committee has intensified. It is spearheaded by the powerful Republican committee on committees, headed by Hugh Butler, even though Butler virtually promised Morse the foreign relations spot last summer. Capehart, however, is a member of the committee on committees, as are other members of the GOP isolationist wing. When Morse caught wind of the switch, he wrote Butler: "I am aware of an attempt being made to keep me off the foreign relations committee. I believe it will be healthy for the Republican conference to have a full discussion on this. I am perfectly willing to lay my record for supporting sound Republican principles alongside the record of any member of the committee on committees." The outcome of this battle will indicate fairly clearly whether future Republican policy will drift isolationist. The wonderful dinner was served personally by the sergeant on schedule, behind locked doors in the kitchen. The steaks fulfilled every promise. Murphy ate two, Demartino, a grinning, husky 20-year-old from 80 South Broadway, Yonkers, N.Y., had to be restrained from eating three. Murphy, 29, a blue-eyed 180-pound graduate of West Point who hails from 4634 South Emerald ave., Chicago, sipped coffee and smiled. "You are a miracle man, Demartino," said he, "and one of these years, say 1954, you ought to get a promotion out of this." It was a moment of much contentment. Such eating crowded from the minds of these two men all the discomforts of this bleak and frozen country. It was a time for talk. First it was settled that both Murphy and Demartino would have another steak each for breakfast. Then it was agreed that the three other members of their Home-Makers' Forum By JOAN G. WHITE Gazette Home Economist The successful hostess whose parties are talked about and remembered long afterward is the one who always has a trick or two up her sleeve. Her menus are distinctive and original, taking full advantage of the endless variety of foods available and then often adding a note of surprise. Which reminds me of Millie Morton. When Millie—Mrs Sterling C. Morton of 327 No. Philadelphia street, that is—entertained her club a few days ago, her home was tastefully decorated for Christmas. Came time for refreshments and Millie seated herself at the serving table which was covered dramatically with a bright red cloth with accents of white. As she poured the coffee her guests "obed" and "abed" at what seemed to be perfect white frosted cup cakes topped with lighted candles. The first bite revealed that they were not cakes at all but a sort of sandwich salad. They were delicious and just right for holiday entertaining. MILLIE MORTON'S SANDWICH SALAD 8 servings First Filling three inches high. Spread each round with butter and then with one of the fillings and stack one on top of the other. Whip one half cup of cream until stiff and blend with one half cup of mayonnaise. Completely frost each sandwich salad with this mixture. Garnish with slices of stuffed olives and serve on a lettuce leaf. If the sandwiches are to be served in the evening, they may be made in the afternoon. After frosting, set back in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly. Instead of the crabmeat filling, you might like a mixture of chopped stuffed olives, chopped nuts, hard cooked eggs, celery and mayonnaise. It's flavor blends well with the other cottage cheese filling. SANDWICH LOAF Another effective way of serving a sandwich variation is the sandwich loaf. For this, slice an uncut loaf of day-old white or whole wheat bread horizontally so that you have three or four long slices about three quarters of an inch thick. You will need a sharp knife and a steady hand. Spread each slice with softened butter or margarine and then support company fire-direction section—Sgt. Murry E. Eccleton of Detroit, Cpl. Stanley P.

We live together and we nose round each other's mail and we have lived in some pretty cagey holes in this country." Right now we are fixed up in the office of a factory. We troubled some beds and we have stove and we have even fixed an outside latrine with a roof. We are pretty comfortable. One us generally has a magazine and he has to read the others to keep.
