MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager Easy unemployment money... All throughout the nation, the contemptuous chiselling of relief benefits is raising the lire of conscientious legislators. In California Assemblyman Richard J. Dolwig of San Mateo county, chairman of a legislative committee investigating unemployment insurance problems, reveals that widespread, cynical faunting of the law, through loopholes, is draining the Unemployment Insurance Fund of an estimated $60,000,000 a year, and endangering the solvency of the fund. The latest dodge, Dolwig reports, is the "husband-and-wife racket." In this case the system, as Reported to Dolwig's committee, works as follows: "A husband and wife merely take turns being unemployed. While one works the other draws unemployment insurance loans." Tors are in open rebellion. They are willing to risk losing from $15,000,000 to $19,000,000 a year in federal relief funds by insisting on opening welfare rolls up the press and prosecutors. Senator John W. Van Ness states "Indiana taxpayers poured more than one billion dollars into the federal coffers in 1950 and got back less than 5 per cent" — and he made it clear he thought Indiana could easily run its own welfare program without the government's money. Another Indianan summed up the situation thusly: "The nation has been drifting — people and states — passively toward socialism. Nobody bucks the handout. The result is that you give the federal government a ham and get back a wiener." One thing is certain.

HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The lady, who, on the night of the Presbyterian festival, lost two bewiching curls, can recover them and the hair-pins attached, upon calling in person at this office, and making affidavit of ownership. We understand that Mr. J. H. Short will give up the reins of the Planter's Hotel stage after this date and devote all his attention to his other affairs. Good luck to him. Real estate transactions were lively in town yesterday. Mr. Jordan purchased from Mr. Josephson the lot at the corner of Clementina and Broadway, also an acre of land from the vineyard. 50 Years Ago Count Bozenta has been inspecting the improvements at the home of himself and wife, Madame Modjeska, at Arden, in Santiago canyon, during the week. He left the Madame at Salt Lake, where she played a very successful engagement and will rejoin her at Portland, Oregon. McWilliams & Dunn, began, on Tuesday, the erection of Hahn's livery stable on Los Angeles st. The main barn will be 48x122 feet and a shed 12x60 feet. The visit of President Hays of the Southern Pacific Company last week and the rumors of the purchase by that company of nine acres of land in the Dreyfus tract Indiana could easily run its own welfare program without the government's money. Another Indianan summed up the situation thusly: "The nation has been drifting — people and states — passively toward socialism. Nobody bucks the handout. The result is that you give the federal government a ham and get back a wiener." One thing is certain. If relief rolls were open to public scrutiny, a lot fewer chisellers would be rushing in to bilk the public, and the public would save millions in needless tax expense. For instance, the "husband and wife racket" in unemployment insurance benefits uncovered by Assemblyman Dolwig's committee, would find the going substantially tougher if those people applying for unemployment relief were subject to having their names published in the paper. The public and prosecutors, both undoubtedly would weed out most of the chisellers almost immediately. With $60-000,000 tax dollars a year at stake, can we afford a secrecy blanket? BERLIN—Here are three pictures I have received of Berlin, the most controversial city in world—during the last three decades. Berlin in 1923 was a city despair. People waited in the air behind the Hotel Adlon ready pounce on garbage cans, immensely they were placed outside the hotel's kitchen. Inside the hotel women waited, willing to sell their souls for a cup of coffee that cost one million marks on day, a million and a half the next and two million the day following. Inflation ran riot at the time, with braggadocio foreigners burn marks to light cigarettes and their working man's wages lagging behind the daily depreciation of the printing-press money in which he was paid... I interview President Friedrich Ebert, then time saddle maker who, after World War I Armistice, suddenly had found himself at the helm of the new German Weimar Republic. The Kaiser and the Prussians of Potsdam were gone leaving a group of sincere but experienced Social Democrats. Short will give up the reins of the Planter's Hotel stage after this date and devote all his attention to his other affairs. Good luck to him. Real estate transactions were lively in town yesterday. Mr. Jordan purchased from Mr. Josephson the lot at the corner of Clementina and Broadway, also an acre of land from the vineyard of John Kneip, on Centre street. Seven Palms is now the terminus station of the Southern Pacific railroad toward the Colorado. Mr. Sanford Lyan has struck a 10 barrel oil well at San Fernando. The wool season causes a great deal of money to change hands here in Anaheim, the merchants buying it very extensively. A "constant reader" wants to know if the county officers were installed. They were installed the first Monday in March (6th) and are as follows: Don David Alexander, sheriff; F. P. E. Temple, treasurer; R. Hudson, district attorney; C. E. Miles, recorder; A. W. Ryan, assessor; M. Kremer, tax collector; C. W. Gould, auditor; J. A. Saxon, school superintendent; T. J. Ellis, surveyor; Dr. Kurtz, coroner; Pedro Carrillo, public administrator. Born—March 18, to the wife of Gustav Davis, a son. Born—March 15, to the wife of Martin Clason, a son. McWilliams & Dunn, began on Tuesday, the erection of Hahn's livery stable on Los Angeles st. The main barn will be 48x122 feet and a shed 12x60 feet. The visit of President Hays of the Southern Pacific Company last week and the rumors of the purchase by that company of nine acres of land in the Dreyfus tract for the erection of machine shops, as well as the purchase of the Hotel del Campo for a railroad hospital, have continued to be the popular theme of discussion during the week. Mr. Carver, lessee of the del Campo, says the report that he has been notified to vacate the premises, is not true. The owners of the building have agreed to give him 30 days notice of any change. 25 Years Ago The executive committee of the Ebell were hostesses at a card party at the Fairway country club on St. Patrick's day at which guests to the number of 53 were present. The winners at bridge were Mrs. Canby, Mrs. Salisbury, Mrs. Genevieve Fording and Mrs. C. C. Randall. The next regular meeting will be at the Angelina when Alma Whitaker will be the luncheon speaker. Jake Schumacher is passing around cigars in honor of the arrival of a fine little daughter who made her initial appearance at the sanitarium on Friday last. Mother and child are doing well and Jako is able to be around and take nourishment. While the Allies gouged the German people to pay reparations, Wall Street bankers poured loans into German industry and German industrialists in turn placed their bets on the swashbuckler who promised them the moon . . . So, from starving Germany in 1923 we went to the opposite extreme of rearming Hitler in 1936—and Berlin was cocky, confident and supreme. Berlin in 1951 is still a city of ruins. Though other German cities have made great progress in getting back to normal, parts of Berlin still are like no man's land. In the Russian Zone are piles of neatly stacked bricks and beside them neat piles of scrap iron, for the Russians have taken the ruins apart chiefly for the purpose of OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER THE AMERICAN MILITARY man on duty in a foreign country is more than likely to forget the broader aspects of a war, and concentrate on things closer to him at the moment. Also, under the stress and strain of combat conditions his impression of the foreign brand being "visited" is entirely different from that of the American tourist enjoying a casual vacation cruise. This column is indebted to a member of the Marine Corps Reserve now living in Chicago, Ill. (a place) for the following letter written by a sailor stationed in Japan. Evidently, the sailor has taken a perceptive look at enough of Korea to form some idelible impressions. Consider his incisive observations, but remember that he is looking at a people and a country embroiled in war. "To me Korea is a geographical error. It is bounded on the east by Japanese fishing boats, the west by the Yellow sea, the south by volt, the north by utter confusion. It is divided by a hypothetical railroad that circumscribes the earth. Depending on which side of it you plant your rice paddy, this determines your politics. It's really suited for submarine truck gardening, for the people who like write under water with fountain pens. It's inhabited by some 30 million people, half of whom own honey carts; the other half are bies. "It's a nation of myriads of sticky antagonistic files; countless and apparently unattached, naked children, all with running noses; plumbing that defies Newton's pet theory; awful weather conditions, housing problems, aggravated by a birth rate competition with white mice and rabbits; and, above all, transportation methods that resist description." "Everything, with the exception of an outboard motor boat or wheelbarrow is in use. Street cars look like refugees from the San Francisco cable line. Motorcycles, stripped down army trucks, superposed on built up jeeps, versatile bicycles, horse drawn trolleys, is with co-pilots, rickshaws—all are ignored by the ubiquitousestrian. "It's pet gastronomical delight is an agglomeration of calories that would be revolting to the digestive system of a crocodile, and is consumed with a tone similar to that of an inebriated hare-sucking hot spaghetti out of a soup bowl." "It is possibly the only country where a germ could be seen with naked eye. It is a nation that has amazingly survived over 4,200 years of subjugation." "It's pet gastronomical delight is an agglomeration of calories that would be revolting to the digestive system of a crocodile, and is consumed with a tone similar to that of an inebriated hare-up sucking hot spaghetti out of a soup bowl." "It is possibly the only country where a germ could be seen with naked eye. It is a nation that has amazingly survived over 4,200 years of subjugation from cults, classes, and religions. It's a country there is more instinct to survive than the will to live. "Most countries leave us with pleasant memories. This is inductively a bad taste in the mouth. If you do have memories, they apt to wake you up in the middle of the night screaming at the door of your lungs and beating your wife. "I suggest we call the whole thing off and fervently pray for a case of amnesia." THIS MEMBER of the U.S. Navy can be excused for being ennoyed disgusted with a totally revolting situation, but he forgets that foreign people of whom he writes are, after all, human beings impossible for us to "call the whole thing off" as he suggests. Bad case of amnesia" might give us all a false sense of security a time, the sailor should remember the amnesia we had several years prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. BRLIN—Here are three piccots I have received of Berlin—most controversial city in the city—during the last three decades in 1923 was a city of air.

The Kaiser and the sons of Potsdam were gone, a group of sincere but influenced Social Democrats to shipping the scrap iron back to Moscow...You pass long lines of gaunt walls and skeletonized buildings—some blasted by British incendiary bombs which set fire to the buildings, some blasted by American explosive bombs which knocked down the walls of the buildings. Take your pick; the Berliners didn't like either...Over near Unter Der Linden, Hitler's dugout—a huge block of concrete is now turned upside down and near it what was once the Reichschancellery is now razed to the ground, with almost every brick carted away by the Russians. Across their zone, in the American sector, the Reichstag is gutted but still standing and the Tiergarten, where nurses pushed baby carriages and couples strolled arm-in-arm among its trees in 1936, now is without one tree standing—a waste as barren as the New Jersey swamps between Newark and the Hudson Tunnels. Never has man wrought such destruction! The biggest problem facing the United States and the world today is how to avoid the mistakes of both 1923 and 1936—how to draw a line midway between crushing German as in 1923 and Washington—None. Ward's induction makes a total of 23 National Leaguers in the service. The American League has 20.

K State led Arizona 38-20. BYU in front 43-33. BYU's big Hutchins tallied 10 field goals 2 tree throws for 22 points Davis-Williams Friday Tiff Off NEW YORK UP—John L. ranking lightweight from New York, will fight Giosa of Philadelphia and lightweight champion Ike Williams in Madison Square Garden on Friday night. Officials of the Internatl Boxing club announced the swastika last night. Williams, from Trenton, claimed he hurt his shoulder two-round drill yesterday at Sparemate Art Persley at Portland Lakes, N.J. The champ, according to Mager Frank (Blinky) Palermo, the shoulder stiffened up after had finished boxing with Perse Williams then advised his mager to call the non-title 10 rout off. Williams will undergo examination today at the Athletic commission office. It was a hard blow for Dao who was scheduled to make Eastern debut here. He had lost split 10-rounder to Williams Seattle last year and was con Rev. Richards Wins Muir Decalthalon PASADENA (UP)—The Rev. Bob Richards, pole-vaulting La Verne college teacher, captured the John Muir college open decathlon with 7480 points, and he racked up 1071 of them yesterday by doing 14 feet, 3¼ inches in his specialty, the pole vault. Richards, one of three men to exceed 15 feet in the pole vault, threw the javelin 180 feet, 2 inches, threw the discus 120 feet, ran the high hurdles in 15.4 seconds, the 1500 meters in four minutes, 57.7 seconds, and, in Tuesday's competition won or tied for first in all five events.

Don Winton of the Los Angeles A.C., with 5805 points, finished second and Hal Dennis of Occidental was third with 5804. Ez Is Husband, And Father, Too CINCINNATI (UP) Heavyweight Boxing Champion Ezzard Charles finally admitted last night that he is married. But that was only half of it—he also is a father. Charles who had denied several times recently that he was married, said he and the former Miss Gladys Gartell were married Dec. 30, 1949. He said their baby girl was born Feb. 13 at New Kensington, Pa. The attractive Mrs. Charles and the baby are at her home in suburban Madisonville. Last night she declined to see newsmen. Neither she nor the heavyweight king would say where they were married and Charles' only explanation of the secrecy of the marriage was that "I just thought it was best—being an athlete and everything." Mrs. Charles is a native of Cincinnati and Ezzard said he first met her in 1945 shortly after he was discharged from the Army and while she was a senior in Withrow high school. Charles was born in Atlanta, Ga., but has lived here virtually all his life. Frank (Blinky) Palermo, the shoulder stiffened up after having finished boxing with Perry Williams then advised his manger to call the non-title 10 round off. Williams will undergo examination today at the Athletic commission office. It was a hard blow for Davis who was scheduled to make an Eastern debut here. He had lost split 10-rounder to Williams Seattle last year and was congratulated he could beat the champion. He had hoped to make a good enough showing to earn a chance with like in the Garden May 11. Williams has signed to meet one of five opponents for the crown on the May date. The Californian Negro is on the list. Now Glosa, a veteran getting chance at the big time, is in position to dim Davis' hopes in the title bout. Santa Ana-Wins Pomona Tourney POMONA (UP)—Santa Ana high school held the baseball championship of the 20-30 club today, having defeated South Pasadena the finals of the interscholastic competition yesterday. 6 to 2. Bert Haysom, Santa Ana rally hurler, nailed down the victor by taking over in the third innings and holding the Tigers season to rest of the way. He also collected two hits in two tries. Illinois, Kentucky Battle In Eastern NCAA Semifinal NEW YORK (P)—You can’t blame Illinois’ basketball team if it happens to look over the head of North Carolina State in the Eastern NCAA semi-finals tonight and throws a few anxious glances in the direction of Kentucky. Two times in the past the Illini have gone into the NCAA tournament with lofty hopes only to have them shattered by the Wildcats from Lexington. In 1942 Kentucky stopped the Big Ten team, 46-44. In 1945 it happened again, only worse—76-47. If tonight’s games at Madison Square Garden follow form, Illinois will find Kentucky barring its path again in Saturday’s Eastern finals. However, this time Coach Harry Combes’ dashing sophomores may get even. Illinois game with N.C. State opens the program at 7:45 p.m. (EST), to be followed by the game between Kentucky, ranked No. 1 nationally, and St. John’s of Brooklyn. An almost perfect blend of senior and sophomore talent has made the Illini a real threat for the NCAA championship. “Our sophomores are fortunate in having two seniors like Ted Beach and Don Sunderlage to play with,” Combes said. “At the same time, Beach and Sunderlage are fortunate to be able to play with such fine sophomores.” Three first-year varsity men—Clive Follmer, Irv Bemoras and Bob Peterson—are in the starting lineup of this Big Ten championship team. Baseball Briefs By The Associated Press BURBANK—Ray Coleman, who is fighting for a regular berth in center field with the St. Louis Browns, is a great believer in exercise. He daily covers several miles of Hollywood streets with a brisk walk. “It keeps the legs in condition,” he said. HOLLYWOOD — The Chicago White Sox seek their ninth straight exhibition victory in their first floodlight engagement of the season tonight against Hollywood, of the Pacific Coast League. The Sox, who whipped the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-4 yesterday to gain their ninth win in 10 exhibitions, will call tonight on Dick Littlefield, former Boston Red Sox pitcher and Bob Mahoney, 20-game winner drafted from Omaha. General Manager Frank Lane announced that outfielder Gerry Scala has been sold outright to the Sacramento Solons for an undisclosed sum. Lane also said he was trying to induce infielder Lais Garcia to return to the Sox from his home in Caracas, Venezuela. Garcia, a $10,000 bonus player, left the club after four days in the Sox camp because he was overcome by homesickness. Lane has offered to let Garcia’s wife accompany him back to the U.S. at the Sox’ expense. BYU, heading in strong with a substantial lead, faltered at the nose in beating San Jose State, 68. The Skyline Six champions started at a 17-point favorite. Oklahoma A. and M., national champions in 1945 and again in 1946 and rated No. 2 nationally this year, meets Montana State, and the Washington Huskies of the Pacific Coast, and Texas A. and M., Southwest, conference champion, clash tonight. Montana State, like San Jose, is chosen for the Western play as an independent, or at-large representative. The champion and winner up here, to be decided Saturday, will meet the East's two teams in Minneapolis for national honors next Tuesday. Both winners last night had first half leads. Kansas led Arizona 38-20. BYU was front 43-33. BYU's big Mel Nichols tallied 10 field goals and free throws for 22 points. Davis-Williams Friday Tiff Off NEW YORK (UP)—John L. Davis, taking lightweight from Richard Calif., will fight Eddie Isaac of Philadelphia and not weight champion Ike Williams in Madison Square Garden Friday night. Officials of the International golf club announced the switch night. Williams, from Trenton, N.J., need he hurt his shoulder in a ground drill yesterday with female Art Persley at Pomp-Lakes, N.J. The champ, according to Man-Frank (Blinky) Palermo, said shoulder stiffened up after he finished boxing with Persley, then advised his man-to-call the non-title 10 round-fifth Williams will undergo anination today at the Athletic mission office. Was a hard blow for Davis, was scheduled to make his debut here. He had lost a 10-rounder to Williams in the last year and was confidant in our sophomores are fortunate in having two seniors like Ted Beach and Don Sunderlage to play with." Combes said, "At the same time, Beach and Sunderlage are fortunate to be able to play with such fine sophomores." Three first-year varsity men—Clive Follmer, Irv Bemoraas and Bob Peterson—are in the starting lineup of this Big Ten championship team. The other starter is junior guard Rod Fletcher, since Beach is a trouble-shooting sub who never opens a game but just comes in when the going gets heavy. N.C. State will be playing without its three outstanding regular season stars—All-America Sam Ranzino, Paul Horvath and Vic Bubas, all declared ineligible under the NCAA four-year rule. But Coach Everett Case has pulled in bunch of flashy sophomores to fill the gaps. Bill Kukoy, a third-stringer from Gary, Ind., scored 27 points in N.C. State's Tuesday night (87-82) win over Villanova. "We're naturally not as strong as we were with those veterans," said Case, "but the sophomores probably give us more fire." The Kentucky-St. John's game will feature the pivot duel between Kentucky's seven-foot Bill Spivey, who scored 542 points in 30 games, and Bob Zawoluk who tallied 630 in 28 games for St. John's.
