MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager The legislature faces subversives... (Another in a series on problems confronting the California Legislature in January.) California legislators will seek to tighten anti-subversive laws during their 1951 session. But returns from an Associated Press questionnaire indicate a majority opinion that the state's statutes are broad enough to cope with the problem of the traitor and saboteur. They also show: Legislators on the whole are satisfied with operation of the new state civil defense organization. No drastic changes are anticipated in this field. Most replies either frowned on renewal of the State Crime commission or suggested it is a job that should be left to Attorney General-elect Edmund G. (Pet) that university employees are covered by the Loyalty act. Both Tenney and Assemblyman Harold K. Levering (R-Los Angeles) intend to reoffer legislation to prohibit damage suits against employers who fire persons provoled to be disloyal. On the other hand, Assemblyman Edward Elliott (D-Los Angeles) declared that if anything at all is done on the loyalty issue, it should be the repeal of the Levering act. Assemblywoman Kathryn T. Niehouse (R-San Diego) said that either she or Assemblyman Frank Luckel (R-San Diego) will introduce a new "little red schoolhouse" bill—legislation to prohibit use of public schools by communist organizations. WASHINGTON — Claire nault, a big leathery man speaks with a gruff intensity a plan for starting fires in Stalinism in Asia. The famous Flying Tiger cral who fought with the Nationalists has been poised on doors in Washington and saying: "Let's arm the hatred Russia which is spreading China. The greatest fear communist is of the guerre a million of whom hold great pets on the mainland. We drop weapons to them smuggle munitions across borders." "The spirit of revolt is so in China today," says Chen "that communist members dare go out alone for fear of ambushed. The communist control only the cities, the rafters and the ports. The troops are engaged in Korea bet and along the Indo-Oceania." IN THE DAYS OF IONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Anyone who found a buggy whip on Lemon street about a week ago, will please return it to Mitchell's stable. The Telegraph Stage company's coach going north, was again stopped on Tuesday morning, about five miles from the San calculation—reckoning the value of the milky way. On the other hand, Assemblyman Edward Elliott (D-Los Angeles) declared that if anything at all is done on the loyalty issue, it should be the repeal of the Levering act. Assemblywoman Kathryn T. Niehouse (R-San Diego) said that either she or Assemblyman Frank Luckel (R-San Diego) will introduce a new "little red schoolhouse" bill—legislation to prohibit use of public schools by communist speakers. The State Supreme Court invalidated a section of the education code barring use of school buildings by any group which has as its object the overthrow of the American government. The provision was held to be an abridgment of free speech. Luckel already has had a bill drafted with language designed to get around the court's opinion. It would substitute a direct prohibition against the use of school buildings for the advocacy or commission of any act intended to further the government's overthrow. Members of both houses made it plain that they expected one of the biggest fights of '51 to center on reapportionment. The legislature must revamp the state's legislative districts to match changes in population as shown by the 1950 census. A major feature of the task will be the assignment of the seven new Congressmen to which California is entitled. The state will have a total of 30. (Future articles in this series will deal with crossfiling repeal initiative and No. 5 with new McLain pension plan.) 75 Years Ago Anyone who found a buggy whip on Lemon street about a week ago, will please return it to Mitchell's stable. The Telegraph Stage company's coach going north, was again stopped on Tuesday morning, about five miles from the San Fernando station, by a highwayman. The express box was opened but nothing was found in it to reward the enterprising robber. Barney Cohen says he has got the finest beef in the known world for the Christmas holidays. That seventeen hundred pound beef is to be dressed up in style at the slaughter house of Mr. Look on Friday. The public is invited to inspect the new slaughter house and witness the operation. Plenty of lager will be placed on tap and a general good time is expected. Judges Bacon and Egan were in town last night from San Juan Capistrano. There was a terrible commotion in the milk trade yesterday afternoon, when Lum Smith's yellow horse started up Lemon street on a little frolic, got up principally for his own amusement. Milk cans and cans of milk were promiscuously distributed from Langenberger's corner to Loren vineyard, and the horror-striken proprietor of the festive steed stood at the corner revolving in his mind a mighty astronomical calculation—reckoning the value of the milky way. On the night of the 20th some rascals came up to the tent of Peter Sanchorena, a sheep man in the Tramca canyon, near Anaheim, and discharged into it a shot gun loaded with buckshot, just missing the inmate. The party is known. Tim Carroll brought a fine lot of Christmas trees into town last week. They were all sold. Fires were kindled on the Mission Vieja rancho two days ago to burn off the superabundance of dry grass. The Sunday school of the Presbyterian church desires especially to thank Dr. Higgins and Mr. Robb for the kind donation of the beautiful Christmas tree. The pastor and Elder McKinnie are grateful to the young men who volunteered to clean away the debris of the festival. If any member of the Sabbath school was not supplied with a gift, Mrs. McKinnie will be pleased to supply one. Gifts were placed on the tree for the following named persons, but were not taken when names were called. They can be had by calling on Mrs. McKinnie: Eddie Boege, Mr.* Menzel, Mrs. Dunn, Baby Dunn, Mrs. Devore, Master Devore, Judge Bailey, Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. John Hunter, Lawrence Boldt, Walter Eymann, Mrs. H. Boege, Mrs. W. M. McFadden, Mrs. Kroeger, Mrs. Jeffree, Mr. Zeyn, Mrs. Sheffield, Mrs. Saxton. Miss Helen Craemer, who been collecting taxes at the hall, reports that only $2337.7 delinquent, out of a total tax of $139,092.72. The delinquent tax list will be found on another page of this issue. The tax paid found Miss Craemer a very cohesive and obliging official, and the delinquent list is the smallest in many years. The Cottage Bible class of Christian church will meet Monday at the home of Mr. Mrs. N. F. Ballow, 914 W. Cedar street. William Henry Coughran at Tuesday at his home near Bu Park. He was aged 78 years old lived at his ranch where he died for 21 years. He is survived by his wife and a son daughter. Interment was in Graveland cemetery, near Mirada. WASHINGTON — Claire Chenault, a big leathery man who speaks with a gruff intensity, has plan for starting fires against colonialism in Asia. The famous Flying Tiger general who fought with the Chinese nationalists has been pounding doors in Washington and saying: "Let's arm the hatred against Russia which is spreading across China. The greatest fear of the communist is of the guerrilla... a million of whom hold great pockets on the mainland. We should stop weapons to them, and juggle munitions across the borders." The spirit of revolt is so strong that communist members don't go out alone for fear of being bullied. The communists control only the cities, the rail cars and the ports. The best troops are engaged in Korea, Taiwan and along the Indo-Chinese border. 50 Years Ago Alex Henderson of Fullerton had a large American eagle hunted in the hills abovecentia some days ago. He measured 6 feet 8 inches in tip to tip. It had been flying the hills above the Santa Fe wells for a year or two. The bear is a grayish brown and the weighed over twenty pounds. Henderson will have it mounted. 50 Years Ago Alex Henderson of Fullerton had a large American eagle hunt in the hills above centia some days ago. The measured 6 feet 8 inches in tip to tip.

If we give them help, they can take the pressure off Korea. According to the intelligence slipped out of China to General Chennault, this is the picture on the Chinese mainland: Mao Tse-Tung, the titular boss of red China, is acting as a moderator between quarrelling communist war lords and pressure from Moscow. The general in command of Chinese troops fighting in Korea, Lin Piao, is Russian-trained and violently pro - Soviet. When the Kremlin strategy switched this spring, away from the conquest of Hong Kong, Lin Piao moved his 350,000 troops north to Manchuria. "Silver Bullets" Protecting the Chinese coastal area in the south, he left playooy Gen. Chen Yi, who has 520,000 troops stretched from Shanghai to Canton. General Chen, noted for his concubines and his drunken parties in Shanghai, has been bitterly accused by General Lin or being a "bad communist." Once a Kuomintang leader, General Chen has been susceptible to "silver bullets" in the past, might be so again. In contrast, General Li Po-Chen, the one-eyed communist warlord directing the invasion of Tibet, is loyal to Moscow. However, a number of anti-communist leaders, not tied up with Chiang Kai-shek, are available to foment revolt, according to Chennault Ma Pu-Fang, a Moslem, is now in Cairo asking help from Arab nations. He was the governor of a vast area bordering Tibet and could be a rallying figure for the 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 Chinese Moslims Ma Huang. He's the chief engineer of our anti-Soviet policies." Truman appeared slightly startled but agreed with Biemiller Oar a liberal, middle-of-the-road program was what the Russians feared most. Anglo-American Relations Kenneth Lindsay, a plain-talking British labor member of Parliament, was talking to a small group at the home, of Arthur Goldsmith, when Town-Hail-of-the-Air moderator George V Denny asked: "What does Britain feel about the Far Eastern war?" "I have crossed the ocean many times between England and America, but this is the first time I felt I entered a strange world," commented the Member of Parliament. "I can tell you we have no intention to back the befuddled, dangerous policy of General MacArthur. We have no intention of losing thousands of casualties on Chinese soil. We consider MacArthur a stooge of Chiang Kaishek. And I speak not just for myself, but for members of both Labor and Conservative parties. We do not want the Korea war to become an Asian war." One guest countered that British coolness toward Chiang Kaishek was part of a play to keep the communists from taking Hong Kong. "We know we cannot hold Hong Kong," replied Lindsay, "but we do have great fear for Malaya. If we lose Malaya, we lose the sterling bloc. And there is no better way to lose Malaya than to go to war in China." "Our greatest need today," Lindsay emphasized, "is to bring the American and British peoples together."

He was the governor of a vast area bordering Tibet and could be a rallying figure for the 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 Chinese Moslems. Ma Hung-Kwei, the ex-governor of Ningshia, is in San Francisco, and Chang Fa-kwei, a leader of the Cantonese, is in Hong Kong. General Chennault proposes that the United States arm and supervise the guerrillas through a military mission headed by Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, commander of American troops in China during World War II. He also recommends giving the National forces on Formosa modern pians for raiding the mainland. “If this is done,” says the Flying Tiger, “China will become a flaming hell for the communists. They won't be able to conquer Korea for putting out fires at home.” Who the Russians Would Shoot After all the brickbats Congressional Republicans have been tossing at Secretary of State Dean Acheson, it was like sweet music to President Truman when retiring Congresman Anay Biemiller, Wisconsin Democrat, told him: “Mr. President, you showed a lot of spunk by sticking up for Acheson. What many of his critics don't seem to realize is that Acheson is one of the first Americans the Russians would like to shtbz We know we cannot hold Hong Kong,” replied Lindsay, “but we do have great fear for Malaya. If we lose Malaya, we lose the sterling bloc. And there is no better way to lose Malaya than to go to war in China.” “Our greatest need today,” Lindsay emphasized, “is to bring the American and British peoples together.” War Notes General MacArthur has sent a new and lengthy cable to Defense Secretary Marshall pleading for permission to create a new Japanese army. MacArthur says the Chinese communist attack on Korea makes it imperative to rearm Japan and forget about all American plans to keep the Japanese permanently demilitarized. Unless his advice is accepted promptly, the general says he will not be responsible for the consequences in the Far East . . . The same day that the first Russian jet fighter showed up in North Korea, General Vandenberg, the Air Force Chief of Staff, picked up the phone and ordered several squadrons of our fastest jets to Korea at once. He didn't waste a minute . . . the man directing all Chinese military moves is Georgi Malenkov, one of Stalin's top deputies. In brief, the Kremlin pulls the strings, and the Chinese people go into battle . . . The savage guerrilla attacks being launched against our rear bases and supply lines continue the number 1 worry of our military men . . . One of the most effective propaganda weapons the communists are using in Asia is the story that American democracy doesn't apply to Asiatics. Nonetheless, Congress is delaying a bill that would give aged Japanese-Americans to die as American citizens are parents of Nisei he fought with the famed fantry team, most decorate fit of the last war. Rep Walter (Pa.) forced through the House, giving U.S. citizenship, but it's tied in the Senate . . . The nists are finding some use in drafting Chinese to Stalin. Intelligence report Chinese regiment of so-called north of Canton or Hal Boyle (Advance) Kimpo Air Base, Korea (P) — Three young American bachelor soldiers waited to bid their adopted son goodbye. Everybody was earnest and solemn. The three young dads felt it was farewell forever. Their little son they had come to love was too young to realize it was a real leave-taking, but he felt the seriousness around him and was bewildered by it. He is seven years old—a tiny cherub-faced Korean boy, wearing a neatly tailored GI uniform and a fine warm fur and leather Korean cap. In the center of the cap gleamed two polished letters—U.S. His three fathers had brushed up the best they could, but they weren't as fresh or as smartly dressed as their son. This they didn't mind, for like any parents, their minds were on their son. They had done the best they could for him. He was a symbol to them of what they wanted most in life—to be married and have happy children. And they were proud of him. He looked so clean and healthy ment blamed office parties, beginning Friday afternoon and continuing into the night, for what the Associated Press termed "much unprecedented tippling." Now that is something else to as he stood there, compared with the hundreds of ragged, shriveled, sick-faced Korean children around him. They were being evacuated by air from the war zone to an island off South Korea. He was one of the lucky among the abandoned kids of wartime Korea. The three GIs had found him alone and uncared for in a land too swept by the disaster of strife to take care of parentless children. They were glad, and yet their hearts hurt, as they looked for the last time at the small human miracle they had wrought. "We picked him up in a railroad yard about three weeks ago," said the first father, Sgt. John Braman of Green Bay, Wis. "All he had on was an undershirt and a bunch of rags." "He had filthy sores all over him," said the second prideful father, Cpl. David A. Said of Belen, N.M. "Bet you can't find a sore on him now. Just look at him." "He brushes his teeth now," said the third father, Cpl. Arthur Densmore of Wilder, Vt. The other two listened respectfully. They agreed that although Densmore is a quiet fellow he had "done the most for our boy." When they had heard about the evacuation of Korean orphans, the three GIs inquired of the chaplain who was organizing it. He told them honestly the boy would be safer with the others. They were worried that if things got worse they couldn't take care of him. So here they stood, still unreconciled to giving him up, taking snapshots of their boy un- Oblong Views FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER (The Poor Man's Drew Pearson) Well . . . THAT'S over with for another year. PERHAPS YOU NOTICED an Associated Press item in Tuesday's Gazette giving the score on drunkenness in Los Angeles over the Christmas holiday. A paragraph is quoted: "The drab hangover is a record of 17 traffic deaths, 362 persons facing drunk driving charges and a grand total of 1222 arrests for drunkenness." This is shameful, disgraceful, appalling, and unnecessary. It could also be considered as the sign of an insidious disease which is gripping the country. People drink to excess because they want to escape from the cruel facts of everyday life. (That's what the psychiatrist told me.) They feel insecure and frustrated, and they want to get out from under that oppressive weight of fear for the future. How better to do that than to get swacked at the nearest joint? To drift away into that blissful never-never land where temporal worries just don't exist, people use different methods. Not all of them dip into the jug. Some ment blamed office parties, beginning Friday afternoon and continuing into the night, for what the Associated Press termed "much unprecedented tippling." Now that is something else to ponder over. Isn't something wrong when the boss has to get the help together over libations to prove to them that he is, after all, a pretty good guy? The Christmas spirit — and the Christmas spirits — had better be stretched out over the entire year, and we would then all be a lot happier. I REITERATE THE statement of my aforementioned friend—alcoholic drink is apt to result in the ruination of this country. You take a Moscow Mule, for instance. One of those, if not handled properly, could level a city block. When they had heard about the evacuation of Korean orphans, the three GIs inquired of the chaplain who was organizing it. He told them honestly the boy would be safer with the others. They were worried that if things got worse they couldn't take care of him. So here they stood, still unreconciled to giving him up, taking snapshots of their boy until the plane door closed and carried him out of their lives. "We call him Syngman Rhee—after the president of Korea—because he said his name was Rhee," said the first daddy. The second one stuffed a big wad of money in the pocket of their child. Cpl. Densmore, the quiet one, said nothing. He clicked his camera, I don't think he dared look up. A Korean interpreter called to the child in his own language. "Don't forget to brush your teeth." Tiny "Syngman" Rhee bowed three times to his American par- (Slice of Ham) HUNTER what the psychiatrist told me.) They feel insecure and frustrated, and they want to get out from under that oppressive weight of fear for the future. How better to do that than to get swacked at the nearest joint? To drift away into that blissful never-never land where temporal worries just don't exist, people use different methods. Not all of them dip into the jug. Some use marijuana, heroin, opium. Some join the Democratic party. Los Angeles is no exception as a center for Bacchanalia. The same thing happened in Omaha, Kansas City, Dallas, Miami, and Pontoosuc (Illinois). Is it a national trend? A very good friend of mine once told me quite seriously that drink would some day result in the ruination of America. He is no teetotaler, but limits himself to a glass of wine each day, just before dinner. The glass is two inches in diameter and three feet tall. The Los Angeles police depart- give aged Japanese-Americans and Korean immigrants the right to die as American citizens. Some are parents of Nisei heroes who fought with the famed 442nd Infantry team, most decorated outfit of the last war. Rep. Francis Walter (Pa.) forced the bill through the House, giving them U.S. citizenship, but it's now buried in the Senate... The communists are finding some resistance to drafting Chinese to fight for Stalin. Intelligence reports say a Chinese regiment of so-called volunteers to fight in Indo-China revolted north of Canton on Dec. 2.
