2 Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Anaheim's SQR...44... Right now the SQR store of Anaheim is celebrating its 44th anniversary. Think what this means. An Anaheim store has been serving folks of this area through good times, bad times, hot and cold wars, stable peace, uncertain peace, good crops, poor crops, long skirts, short skirts ... and through all the small and mighty events which happen in our life-times. No other department store in Anaheim—and few other institutions in this area—has watched Anaheim folks move from infancy, through childhood, schools, marriage, more children, and yes, pass from the scene. Think what it means for one store to have been with Anaheim through the growing pains and great accomplishments which have made this a modern city ... think of the wonderful people the store has known and served in all that time ... think of the happy (and tearful) events the store can recall. Well, there is a wealth of personal and civic experiences "built" into the SQR store. Tides come in and tides go out, but the SQR store has weathered them all ... its past and future is woven into Anaheim ... its story is the story of modern Anaheim. The Gazette is happy to congratulate, yes, salute, the SQR store, its capable management, and its fine employees on its 44th anniversary—and to wish them all many, many happy returns of the day. IN THE DAYS OF J.ONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A chinaman passed through the streets yesterday mounted on a mustang and looked, with his blankets, etc., tied behind his saddle, and his careless air as free and easy as a forty-niner. Yesterday both stages from the depot were crowded with passengers, inside and out. 50 Years Ago The public library has secured quarters in Mrs. Metz's block, adjoining Merritt's furniture store, and will be open for business in a few days.

Lydia Harrison celebrated her OBLONG FROM AN EGG BY WALDO WHETHER THE current variety citizens low is more violent than to its potency is revealed in one moment yesterday. He said: "I felt the two sides had only one shell between me at 2 a.m. they came over my house were sick. Now, they men is getting home from. AN ARTICLE OF more than 10 Associated Press wire the other night. "BUENOS AIRES, March 8 (F) bound, anti-government newspaper reply to their latest appeal to P personally assure them of their rite." "La Presa has been shut down government news vendors' union by officers of the printers' unionment labor group." HERE WE SEE another working powerful weapon: gagging of the Japanese war lords, all throttled the stacle in their path to absolute power that all publications in Russia have but mouthpieces of the government poison to the dictator. Criticism cogent. We read about such things, shrieves, "Oh well, no one would America." No? AS RECENTLY as the middle Talmadge's aides introduced three legislative.

Yesterday both stages from the depot were crowded with passengers, inside and out. Mr. Farish of the San Francisco firm of Moody & Farish, wool commission merchants, arrived in Anaheim last night. We are told that the burr clover in localities around Anaheim is 10 feet high. A lady passed through town yesterday driving a four horse wagon. She did finely on the level road, but what would she have done had her team balked, for a California horse will never pull out of a bad place without being sworn at by the driver, and she, being, of course, unable to command that accomplishment, the brutes would never have heeded her exclamations, such as "go along, you horrid things." The almond grove of Capt. Glassell in Orange, is in full bloom, and the peach is as yet unaffected by frost. Mr. Isbell knows how to take care of an orchard. 50 Years Ago The public library has secured quarters in Mrs. Metz's block, adjoining Merritt's furniture store, and will be open for business in a few days. Mr. Bruce will move his candy kitchen to the same place and will act as librarian. His present location will be used by Mrs. Vinson as a millinery store. Lydia Harrison celebrated her birthday at her home at Brookshurst on Tuesday by inviting her little classmate at the Orange thorpe to a birthday party. Frank Eastman has been distributing packages of seeds forwarded by Congressman Needham along his rural delivery route. Don Marco Forster was in town last week from San Juan Capistrano. 25 Years Ago Mrs. Joseph Carrol entertained the Wednesday afternoon Five Hundred club at her home on Tuesday afternoon, in deference to Lent. Decorations were green in honor of St. Patrick. A 1 o'clock luncheon was served at the conclusion of which the afternoon was devoted to cards. Miss Anna Ryan won the first prize and Mrs. Ernst Borchert the consolation. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Clayes. (Ed. Note: Drew Pearson is on a flying tour of Europe and the Middle East, surveying the world situation.) ROME—The most important thing that every American is entitled to know about Marshall Plan aid to Europe is whether it is a temporary shot-in-arm which will have to be repeated every so often to keep the patient alive or whether it will really put Europe back on its feet. In brief, the question is will communism take over shortly after we pull the Marshall Plan props out from under Europe? Meanwhile, there is no tax on caviar and the Roman aristocracy and the Milan factory owners laugh at the idea of paying any income tax. They not only do not declare their incomes but no one in the higher bracket ever goes to jail for tax evasion. In high society here it just isn't done. Rich Milk Marshall Aid This same society of duchesses and countesses which so long has basked in the favor of the American embassy proceeded to welcome Marshall Plan aid as manna from heaven and to milk it for their own special benefit. The milking was both pleasant and profitable. But soon American officials and the Italian people woke up and found that Marshall money was being spent to build bathrooms for senators to rebuild the fascist America." No? AS RECENTLY as the middle Talmadge's aides introduced three pleg legislature. Among other things, "subject to regulation by the state" authority to break up any city mug 1945, and made newspapers subject to state where they had more than 10 law, newspapers are subject to publication. This gimmick was done to put Georgia's large dallier trollled rural justices - of - the - peace assorted small town peace officers litical machine. With Atlanta's two great newspapers Journal leading the attack, the challenge to a free press, and even difficult to support the propose voted down on the last day of the not by any overwhelming majority. SO, YOU SEE, it CAN happen through the foresight of our founding which guarantees us certain freedom these specific freedoms are listed on be maintained against the ambition. It is an honor and a privilege to pacify, with the press of this country to spot the demagogues and woe the Bill of Rights as nothing but under glass for the edification of Ey Jr.'s Passing Stirs Old Timers The death yesterday of Frank E. Ey, Jr., brought to the minds of many old timers some thoughts that go back for many years. Mr. Ey's father came to Anaheim in the early 70's and operated one of the town's first "tonsorial" parlors. The elder Ey later was elected to the city council and was one of the leaders in having Broadway widened and made a through street. He later went to Santa Ana where he served for a time as mayor. Young Frank spent much of his boyhood there but was very partial to Anaheim. Frank Ey, Jr., made it a habit to come to Anaheim on his birthday and stand in the very room in which he was born until his birth-hour was actually past. He would then come uptown for a visit with friends. The house where the Ey's lived and where Frank, Jr., was born is still standing at the original location, 224 titled to know about Marshall Plan aid to Europe is whether it is a temporary shot-in-arm which will have to be repeated every so often to keep the patient alive or whether it will really put Europe back on its feet. In brief, the question is will communism take over shortly after we pull the Marshall Plan props out from under Europe? Basically the question of whether Italy or any other Marshall Plan country can carry on after we leave boils down to whether they can successfully institute internal reforms sufficient to combat communism, balance their budgets and muster the courage to tax. In Italy, this entire question has been the subject of a vitally important dispute between the de Gasperi government and ECA Administrator Leon Dayton, with U.S. Ambasador James Dunn siding with the Italian government against his fellow American. It is one of the most significant backstage discussions anywhere in Europe today. Italian taxes, for instance, are geared to hit the small farmer and the worker—not the big landowner or the big industrialist. When the Italian farmer transports eggs into the Rome market, he's stopped on the outskirts of the city and forced to pay a tax of about 20 per cent on his produce. When he carries his wine or his olive oil or anything else into the city or across the county line he pays a tax. This same society of duchesses and countesses which so long has basked in the favor of the American embassy proceeded to welcome Marshall Plan aid as manna from heaven and to milk it for their own special benefit. The milking was both pleasant and profitable. But soon American officials and the Italian people woke up and found that Marshall money was being spent to build bathrooms for senators, to rebuild the fascist headquarters at the Palazzo Braschi and to subsidize the swankest new night club in all Rome, the Open Gate club. Suddently Dayton began telling the Italian government that it had to do something about housing, land reform and even about taxes. He also pulled American money out of the Open Gate club, the fascist headquarters and Rome's swank new railroad station. At first Italian officials didn't believe him. They began to change their minds, however, when Dayton made a public speech warning that Italy had better spend less money importing Fort Knox gold to support the lira and more money on things the people needed such as housing. He even indicated that any government which neglected these basic social reforms might find itself strung up from a lamppost as was Mussolini. Frank Ey, Jr., made it a habit to come to Anaheim on his birthday and stand in the very room in which he was born until his birth-hour was actually past. He would then come uptown for a visit with friends. The house where the Ey's lived and where Frank, Jr., was born is still standing at the original location, 224 Oak st. Mr. Ey, Jr., passed away at the age of 72 early on Tuesday at St. Joseph hospital in Burbank. He lived at 956 S. Westmoreland ave., and for many years was a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles prior to which he practiced law and served in the army. He served in the Philippines as a general's clerk, was commissioned a captain in World War I and as a major went to Europe to supervise the return of American dead to this country for burial. Mr. Ey leaves two daughters, Mrs. Ramona Winkler of Laguna Beach and Mrs. Patricia Harris of Los Angeles. His wife, the former Mary Cunningham of New York City, prominent Laguna Beach and Los Angeles clubwoman, died in 1948. Rosary will be held tonight at 7:30 p.m., in the chapel at Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars. Mass will be recited tomorrow morning at 9 in St. Boniface church. Burial will be in the Holy Sepulchre cemetery. OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER OTHER THE current variety of "flu" which is laying so many new is more violent than usual is debatable, but a clue as agency is revealed in one victim's statement to this department. He said: "I felt like there was a war on, and that besides had only one shell between them, and I got hit with it." THE good old days, when anybody saw the neighbor's light at am, they came over wanting to know if anyone in the village sick. Now, they merely wonder what joint grandma was home from. ARTICLE OF more than passing interest came in over the Press wire the other night. It is reprinted below: NOS AIRES, March 8 (F)—Loyal employees of the strike-anti-government newspaper La Presna today awaited a their latest appeal to President Juan D. Peron that he will assure them of their right to work. La Presna has been shut down 61 days by a boycott of the prominent news vendors' union and a sympathy strike ordered by the printers' union, also members of the governor group. WE SEE another working example of the dictator's most weapon: gagging of the press. Mussolini, Hitler, the Japanese lords, all throttled the press to eliminate the first objection to their path to absolute power. The entire world knows publications in Russia have for a long time been nothing but pieces of the government. Free circulation of ideas is the dictator. Criticism cannot be tolerated. And about such things, shrug our shoulders and say to our Oh, well, no one would ever try to do such a thing in." No? RECENTLY as the middle of last month, Governor Herman Koehler introduced three press-control bills into the Georgia legislature. Among other things, these bills declared newspapers a regulation by the state"; gave the state attorney general to break up any city newspaper monopoly-merger since made newspapers subject to libel suits in any county in the state; they had more than 100 subscribers. Under the present papers are subject to libel suits only in the county of Georgia. This gimmick was described by newspapermen as a bout Georgia's large dailies at the mercy of Talmadge-conservative justices - of the peace, sheriffs' state attorneys and Pair of Upsets Marks NIT Play NEW YORK UP—Two unseeded but undaunted dark horses—Dayton and Seton Hall—ranked today as definite threats to gallop into the final rounds of the National Invitation basketball tournament. In a pair of smashing quarterfinal upsets, Dayton trimmed fourth-seeded Arizona, 74-63, last night and Seton Hall blasted second-seeded North Carolina State, 71-59, before 9630 surprised fans at Madison Square Garden. Tomorrow night Dayton and Seton Hall will go against the other seeded teams — St. John's No. 1, and Brigham Young, No. 3. Dayton plays St. John's and Seton Hall meets Brigham Young. A six-foot-seven bundle of scoring and rebounding dynamite — Don Meineke—was the big difference for the Dayton Flyers. Meineke was a near-perfect player last night. He poured in 37 points and had magnetic hands under both backboards. The wry junior flipped in 11 field goals and 15 fouls, the latter an NIT record. Dayton sped to a 39-29 halftime lead even though Meineke went 7½ minutes before connecting with a field goal. Twice during the second half Arizona cut the margin to five points, but Dayton refused to crack. Roger Johnson, with 19 points sparked Arizona's attack. But he, Jerry Dillon and Leo Johnson fouled out, crushing any hopes Arizona had of coming back. In the second game, Seton Hall completely smothered the nation's major top-scoring team. After a slow start, Seton Hall came on like a spreading brush fire. Walt Dukes, a six-foot-ten speedster, was the big winner. KONSTANTY KEEPS HIS GRIPE of Philadelphia Phillies, the N Player of 1950, shows a couple that he hasn't lost his grip. Was his pitching hand are First Base Catcher Stan Lopala. (Associate) Baseball Briefs By The Associated Press SAN BERNARDINO — Paul Petitt, the Pittsburgh Pirates $100,000 bonus pitcher, is draft bait. The 19-year-old lefthander received his 1-A classification via his father, who travelled here with the news. Petitt won two and lost seven with New Orleans, a Pirate farm club, last year.

This gimmick was described by newspapermen as a but Georgia's large dailies at the mercy of Talmadge central justices - of - the peace, sheriffs, state's attorneys and small town peace officers owing allegiance to the state police. Atlanta's two great newspapers, The Constitution and The leading the attack, the Georgia press rose to meet this urge to a free press, and even pre-Talmadge sheets found it to support the proposed legislation. The bills were drawn on the last day of the session of the legislature, but many overwhelming majority. OU SEE, it CAN happen here. By the grace of God and the foresight of our founding fathers we have a Bill of Rights that us certain freedoms. It is not enough, however that free freedoms are listed on paper. Constant vigilance must be used against the ambitious usurper. In honor and a privilege to be associated, in whatever case with the press of this country, an institution always alert to demagogues and would-be dictators who consider Right as nothing but a crumbling parchment framed pass for the edification of Washington, D.C., sight-seers. Waves Move Up In NAIB Tourney KANSAS CITY — The road was shorter but the traveling rougher as 16 of the country's top small college basketball teams entered the second round of the National Intercollegiate tournament today. With the starting field of 32 teams cut in half after two days of play, Evansville (Ind.) college and Hamline university of St. Paul, were living up to their pretournament billing as the No. 1 and 2 seeded teams, respectively. A record second night crowd of more than 8000 saw Hamline outclass Rocky Mountain college of Billings, 82 to 57 and Evansville beat Westminster (Pa.) college, 85 to 74. In other games last night Central (Mo.) college rallied to stop Southeast Louisiana, 68-66, and Pepperdine defeated Wisconsin Teachers, 86-53. Roger Johnson, with 19 points sparked Arizona's attack. But he, Jerry Dillon and Leo Johnson fouled out, crushing any hopes Arizona had of coming back. In the second game, Seton Hall completely smothered the nation's major top-scoring team. After a slow start, Seton Hall came on like a spreading brush fire. Walt Dukes, a six-foot-ten speedster was the big gun behind Seton Hall's attack. The Lanky Negro star, checked with one field goal in the first half, got hot in the second half and wound up with 19 points. Roy Belliveau, a sub, helped Dukes-off the backboard besides handling the playmaking chores. He got 11 points. N. C. State's Sam Ranzino had a tough night although at times he flashed the brilliance that made him an All-America this year. The Gary, Ind., expert scored 11 points in the first half but trailed off to five in the second half. The first half was strictly racehorse, with the teams bounding up and down the court. At intermission it was 37-37. That was the last time N. C. State was in the game. Seton Hall rang up seven straight points in the first 90 seconds of the second half, and State, the Southern conference champion, never came close. Scroggins Indicted On Bribery Charge LOS ANGELES — Albert R. Scroggins, 31, has been indicted by the county grand jury on charges that he attempted to fix a University of Southern California basketball game. He is charged specifically with attempt to bribe Ken Flower, SC sophomore forward, with an offer of $1500 to throw a game with UCLA last March 3. Flower reported the matter to police and then his team defeated the UCLA Bruins 43 to 41. Ten witnesses were called by the grand jury before the indictment was returned yesterday. Among the witnesses were Scroggins, Flower, Trojan Coach Forrest Twogood Assistant Coach Al By The Associated Press SAN BERNARDINO — Paul Petitt, the Pittsburgh Pirates $100,000 bonus pitcher, is draft bait. The 19-year-old lefthander received his 1-A classification via his father, who travelled here with the news. Petitt won two and lost seven with New Orleans, a Pirate farm club, last year. SARASOTA, Fla., — Dom DiMaggio may not play for the Boston Red Sox today in their exhibition game against the Boston Braves. The outfielder has a sore arm, the first, he says, he ever had. SAN BERNARDINO — The right arm of pitcher Bob Lemon, worth $50,000 to the Cleveland Indians this season, goes into action today against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This will be Bob's first try in an exhibition. PHOENIX — Casey Stengel, manager of the New York Yankees, said today he plans to carry three catchers on his roster during this season. Yogi Berra, of course, is the Bombers' No. 1 backstop. Stengel will choose the other two from veterans Ralph Houk and Charley Silvera or rookie Clint Courtney. So far, the yearling has shown more punch at the plate than Houk and Silvera. BURBANK — Manager Zach Taylor and his St. Louis Browns seek their first victory of the spring exhibition series today, meeting the Chicago White Sox. Al Widmar, Lou Sleater and Ned Garver were scheduled to hurl for the Brownies. A record second night crowd of more than 8000 saw Hammine outclass Rocky Mountain college of Billings, 82 to 57 and Evansville beat Westminster (Pa.) college, 85 to 74. In other games last night Central (Mo.) college rallied to stop Southeast Louisiana, 68-66, and Pepperdine defeated Wisconsin Teachers, 86-53. In afternoon games yesterday Morningside college defeated Providence (R. L.) college 66-63; Hastings (Neb.) college beat Pacific Lutheran of Parkland, Wash., 71-51; Baldwin-Wallace, Beria, O., edged American University of Washington, D. C., 67-66, and East Texas Baptists won over High Point, N. C., 67-64. Husky John Furlong, 6 foot, 6 inch senior from Los Angeles, threw in 31 points for Pepperdine against Wisconsin Teachers for the top scoring feat yesterday. Today's pairings include: Pepperdine vs. Florida State. VATICAN MAY GET ISLAMIC REPRESENTATIVE CAIRO (P)—Cairo newspapers report that Al Azhar University, the 1000 year-old center of Islamic teaching, may send an official "religious-cultural" delegate to the Vatican. University leaders have already approved such a plan, according to newspaper reports, and have asked for the approval of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and Cabinet. Fullerton Wins, Loses on Track FULLERTON (P) — Fullerton junior college took on two opponents in a two track tourney yesterday and came out winning one and losing the other. The Compton Tartars rolled over the Hornets 78% to 43% in the first meet but later in the day Fullerton took the measure of Santa Monica city college 79% to 40%. The Compton triumph was highlighted by a 12-4 pole vault by Charles Morgan and a mile in 4:34.2 by Don Roach. Praise too dearly lov'd, or warmly sought. Enfeebles all internal strength of thought. — Goldsmith FUSARI, BRATTON IN 'FIGHTOFF' FOR WELTERWEIGHT TITLE CHICAGO (10)—Frugal Charlie Fusari, boxing's most eligible bachelor, and Johnny Bratton, former teen-age playboy, tangle in a test of youth at Chicago Stadium tonight for the welterweight crown. However, there will be some jewels missing from the diadem. The National Boxing association will recognize the winner as champ. New York, England and Sugar Ray Robinson won't. Robinson, you will remember, was automatically stripped of his welterweight title by the NBA last month when he won Jake LaMotta's middleweight belt. Robinson still claims he is a two-ply champion. So tonight's brawl, scheduled for 15 rounds, is another one of those "version" affairs. It lights the fuse to a series of eliminations which eventually will produce a welterweight champion with unanimity (except for Robinson's vote, of course). The processing could take quite some time. Only by a stroke of luck in these days of aging title aspirants are Fusari and Bratton young enough to remain unwithered by the time lapse. Fusari is 25 and Bratton 23. Tonight's winner must deposit a $5000 guarantee to risk his welter title (NBA version) against Cuba's Kid Gavilan within 45 days. New York will recognize that winner. Within 90 days, England's champion, Eddie Thomas, is scheduled to fight the Gavilan-Bratton- STANDINGS CITY LEAGUE PLAYOFF Ritz 60, Cotler's 33 (Ritz wins playoff, 2-0).

Fears May Quit As Pro-Gridder LOS ANGELES (P) All-pro league end Tom Fears of the Los Angeles Rams is thinking seriously of giving up football for a business career. Owner Dan Reeves of the Rams said Fears had talked to him and indicated that he planned to retire from football. "I can't see why Tom should retire now," said Reeves. "He's in the prime of his career. We are going to have another chat about the matter in about a month or so." Fears, who led the league last year in pass catching, has had an offer to enter the liquor distributing business. He played his college ball at UCLA.
