Monday's Wash The mighty Hunter (Waldo) writes some "wise" thoughts for the day in his column *Oblong Views*. Don't you dare miss it, or you won't be up on the talk of the town. Page 4. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHE Gazette, Police, Night Air Scare Four LA Left-Wingers The Gazette, the Elks Minstrels, Anaheim rookie cops, and the hour of 8 p.m., last weekend all conspired to throw a right-handed monkey wrench into the machinations of left-wing do-gooders in Orange county. The interesting behind the scenes drama unfolded like this: Left-wingers had intended to throw a hit-run 20-minute picket line of "less than 10 people" bearing picket signs around the entrance to the Anaheim Union High school auditorium. The signs would have scored the Elks for their minstrel. (Minstrel shows have been particularly susceptible to propaganda since the propagandists claim the shows tend to "lampoon and degrade the Negro" and "have the real purpose of perpetuating the idea of white supremacy," all of which is "undemocratic," they say. (The Pacific Coast—and Elks clubs—is about the last stronghold of the traditional minstrel show since few people in the east or mid-west want to ex- Railroad Strike Hits Anaheim Mail The Anaheim post office today is continuing to refuse to accept packages (except first class and air mail) addressed to the areas now in the grip of the wildcat rail strike. It has also stopped taking mail with certain exceptions, addressed to 10 cities and 16 states—Washington, D.C.; St. Louis; Atlanta; Chicago; Philadelphia; Trenton, N.J.; Jacksonville, Fla.; New York City; Cleveland; Baltimore, Md., and the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont. particularly susceptible to propaganda since the propagandists claim the shows tend to "lampoon and degrade the Negro" and "have the real purpose of perpetuating the idea of white supremacy," all of which is "undemocral." they say. (The Pacific Coast—and Elks clubs—is about the last stronghold of the traditional minstrel show since few people in the east or mid-west want to expose themselves to the violent pressures and boycotts often set in motion by the so-called anti-defamation groups. (Reds, however, have used pickets at Elks minstrels in California as a pretext to set race against race and to provoke law enforcement agencies into resorting to what the reds call "police state methods" to preserve order and protect property.) Last Friday, four left-wingers from Los Angeles came to Anaheim to attempt to get the picket line going. Their buddies in this area shied away from them because they felt "the wording" of the Gazette's warning about the pickets would cause hostility against the pickets on the part of Anaheimers—and thus waste any propaganda effect the pickets might have hoped for. Local left-wingers also are said to have argued that it would be difficult for the hurrying crowd to read the picket signs in the gloom of the late hour set for the show. The Los Angeles goons then made the mistake of making inquiries around town which alerted the suspicions of Police Chief Stephenson and caused him to dispatch a group of Anaheim cops to the scene of the minstrels. Among the policemen were the "civilian" police Chief Stephenson has recruited for the Anaheim Disaster Relief Corps. When Chief Stephenson sent the boys to the high school Friday night he put in motion a move which later caused the Los An- (Continues on page D) AUHS Responds To A-Bomb Drill Students at Anaheim high school Florida Warms Up, But Texas Is Out By The Farm Editor Florida warmed up today. It was reported by the AP and orange growers in the southern state breathed easier. It was a narrow squeak for the remaining part of their crop which is currently bringing a firm FOB figure of over $3 a box. For packing house rejects (we call 'em culls in California), the canners were paying $1.85 and a price of at least $2 a box was expected soon. When the Florida Valencias are ready the concentrators and canners will have to pay the grower more. But only about 27 per cent of the Florida crop is the Valencia and it, of course, brings the grower by far the best money. Texas citrus has suffered a major calamity and will be out of the business for a couple of years at least, it is reported by people on the inside.

Shortly after the first bell had rung and morning announcements were being given by Supt. Paul H. Demaree, the three-second signal was given and students and teachers fell to the floor, covering their faces and necks with their arms to protect themselves as previously instructed. Demaree had instructed teachers to note which pupils were slow in assuming the correct position. He stated that parents should be notified that those pupils were bad insurance risks. Sometime tomorrow a second A-bomb drill will take place. This time procedure will follow a pattern set with more time allowed due to sufficient warning. Teachers will take each class to one of the more than a dozen safety spots on the campus. These safety spots have been chosen for double wall protections or for underground safety. Faculty received notices this morning instructing them on the correct procedures and which zones they will occupy. All defense preparations have been planned by an AUHS defense council composed of both faculty and students. SCARES ROBBER Mrs. Escal Moore, who operates an antique store in Buena Park and resides in Santa Ana, tightened a burglar away yesterday afternoon when she returned home in time to catch the intruder before any loot could be taken. She heard the would-be burglar slam the rear door as she came in the front door. She found the back door had been forced. Temperatures Temperature reading at 2 p.m. in downtown Anaheim today was 60 degrees. High temperature for the past 54 hours was 77 at 3:30 p.m. yesterday. Low was 44 at 5:30 p.m. today.

His brief speech to the House brought from Chairman Barden (D-NC) of the House Labor committee an assertion that Congress should "rise to the occasion." Barden said men fighting in Korea may run short of ammunition because of the railroad work stoppage. LOS ANGELES (P) — Freight movement in the Southern Pacific yards here was practically at a standstill today. The railroad said more than 80 per cent of the switching crews failed to report for work in the nationwide "sick" strike. Ordinarily more than 400 men work the day shift and 324 were out. An S.P. spokesman said the railroad managed to keep passenger operations going. The Santa Fe said the situation was normal here but at Barstow only one switch engine crew was working, instead of six. The Union Pacific said 30 men reported sick but were replaced with extra men so that all crews were maintained. Across the nation some cracks...

Not Any Longer LOS ANGELES (AP)—Unmentionables? Not any more. The plunging neckline and bare-shoulder dresses have brought brassieres out in the open, and manufacturers are making them to be shown. The annual corset, brassiere and lingerie show yesterday featured bras in velvet, satin, taffets and similar fabrics. They're made for show, in bright colors instead of traditional pastels. Deadline Tonight For New Plates "After midnight tonight, it is a misdemeanor to drive a vehicle required to be registered on which 1951 fees have not been paid." Those plain words came today from State Motor Vehicle Department Director A. H. Henderson. If mailed applications are postmarked prior to Feb. 6, they will be filled without penalty. The penalties run as high as 100 per cent of the $8 registration fee. Cabbie Robbed When Man's Date Won't Reimburse Charged with relieving Ronald E. Carter, 28, taxi-driver of 500 N.

Carter told officers that Anita M. Ramirez, who resides at Atwood, came to the Red and Orange cab stand at the Valencia hotel shortly after 2 a.m. today and hired a cab to take her home. While she was there Solorzano came to the cab and tried to compel her to go with him, Carter said, but Carter put her in his cab and started for Atwood. On Orangethorpe ave., half a mile west of the road crossing at the Placentia cutoff, Solorzano's car crowded them off the (Continued on Page 7) Appointment of a local committee to assist regional and district office of the Office of Price Stabilization was requested by Mayor Charles Pearson of Anaheim in a wire received this morning from Michael DiSalle director of the Office of Price Stabilization. Similar wires were received by mayorors of all U.S. cities with more than 10,000 population and DiSalle enlisted public support on the problem of enforcing price controls, which is currently causing friction between DiSalle's office and the justice department. "It is essential that every citizen be acquainted with all measures being taken for the common good and be informed of steps each individual may take to carry out his part," DiSalle stated. He suggested that membership of the committee be drawn from community leaders representing principal publications, radio and TV stations, advertising clubs, civic, labor, educational, veterans and industrial leaders, employers retail and other organizations. Some officials speculated today that President Truman may have to resolve the dispute between the price stabilization office and the Justice department. Both claim jurisdiction in prosecution of price regulation violators. Attorney General Howard McGrath announced last week that he was setting up a special unit to handle litigation growing out of price and wage controls DiSalle, due to make his first public progress report in a speech at Toledo tonight, was reported to be resisting.

Income, Gas, Cigarettes, Autos On Truman’s Tax-Boost Listing WASHINGTON (UP)—The Truman administration asked Congress today to add four per cent to federal income tax rates, double the tax on gasoline and sharply boost levies on cigarettes, automobiles, appliances and other items. The program, which would hit the pocket banks of millions of payers, would nearly triple the excise tax on automobiles and more than double the tax on television and radio sets, refrigerators and other appliances. Three cents a pack would be added to the excise tax on cigarettes, making the total 10 cents a pack. The excise whisky would go up about 60 cents a fifth and the tax on an ordinary bottle of beer would be raised 1.2 cents. The proposed excise increases would mean a boost of 13 per cent—from 7 to 20 per cent—on auto levies and 15 per cent—from 10 to 25 per cent—on television and radio sets. The tax would be imposed on the manufacturer's price. The present $9 a gallon liquor tax would be hiked to $12, the $8 a barrel beer tax would jump to $12, the seven cent a pack cigarette tax would go up to 10 cents and the gasoline tax would be doubled, going from one and one-half cents a gallon to three cents. Secretary of Treasury Snyder outlined these proposals to the House Ways and Means committees. Anaheim Resident Beaten in S.A. Darrell Dee Dixon, 229 Ellsworth ave., Anaheim, was knocked down and beaten about the head and face by three Santa Ana street loafers last night when Dixon resented remarks the three men made about Mrs. Dixon and Mrs. James Martin Campbell, also of Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. Dixon and Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were walking along N. Broadway, Santa Ana, after attending a theater performance. When Dixon rebuked the three men for making remarks about the women, the trio attacked him and knocked him down and began beating him. Campbell came to Dixons rd. Packing House Operations Upped Returns, Says Guard Flexible operations by the packing house contributed to higher returns during the past years despite an erratic market. Manager Ben Guard reported Saturday at the 36th annual meeting of the Olive Hillside Groves. Nearly 100 growers attended the meeting following a noon dinner served at the Olive Civic Center. J. A. Porter, president of the board, presided. Other members of the board are W. E. Gollin, W. E. Paulus, Tom Wright and H. D. Lemke. Lemke was elected to succeed Worth Alexander who served last year. Many of the frozen groves served by the association were graded in the field by selective picking. Approximately 25 per cent of the crop was sent directly to the Real Gold Citrus Products plant in Anaheim, thus by-passing packing house charges. This was done at a cost of eight cents a field box — considerably lower than other houses in the county for a comparable service. Guard reported. Forty-seven per cent of the crop was packed under the Pure Gold Label—23 per cent of this amount being packed in mesh bags on confirmed orders. Choice grades were sold loose or diverted to juice products, the manager continued. Guard had high praise for his field supervisor, Duce Wilson, and House Foreman Berrie Stevenbock.
