One of the biggest news stories of a decade is President Truman's action in relieving General MacArthur of his Far Eastern command. Of course, people the world over are debating the change. Reactions, of course, vary according to political views—not military views. Anaheim, generally, sides with MacArthur. The local folks think MacArthur was relieved just a little too precipitously—certainly not diplomatically. Anaheim almost to a man agree that MacArthur handled the occupation of Japan much better than the United Nations has handled the comparable situation in Germany. They believe MacArthur has the "feel" of the Orient and that high the motives which prompted him his superiors are justified in relieving him from duty. General MacArthur would never for an instant have tolerated in his own ranks the insubordination of which he himself was guilty." Hearst newspapers, including The New York Journal-American, The San Francisco Examiner, The Pittsburgh Sun Telegraph, and The Detroit Times, published the same editorial, saying: "The abrupt dismissal of General Douglas MacArthur by President Truman is a crushing blow to America long prepared by the clique of administration officials who seem determined upon a course of appeasement toward communist Russia and communist China.

Noting hard at his new jobitor, Benton believes the TV channels of the nation not be parceled out only commercial purposes, but should be at least 25 percent used in part by the united and public school system. So far the Federal Communications Commission has that 10 per cent of the channels should be reserved education. Senator agrees with FCC Commissioner Frieds Henock that this should be at least 25 percent. Meanwhile Sen. Ed John Colorado has agreed to Benton resolution a hearse fore his Senate interstate merce committee.

The local folks think MacArthur was relieved just a little too precipitously—certainly not diplomatically. Anaheimers almost to a man agree that MacArthur handled the occupation of Japan much better than the United Nations has handled the comparable situation in Germany. They believe MacArthur has the "feel" of the Orient and that his abrupt "firing" will have serious repercussions among Asiatics. Several local folks believe the communists have won this round because of the wide split which will appear in the American ranks in debating the MacArthur deal. As one Anaheimer put it: "The Kremlin is probably bursting at the seams laughing about it." Well, of course, that remains to be seen. Anyway, it is a safe bet, in Anaheim, that if you feel the action was too abrupt, you feel about the way your neighbors feel. Elsewhere. Some American newspapers editorially condemned President Truman's removal of Geh. Douglas MacArthur as a tragic mistake. But others said the president had no alternative. Sample reaction— The Atlanta Journal: "A soldier must obey orders. When he refuses to do so—however IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

The abrupt dismissal of General Douglas MacArthur by President Truman is a crushing blow to America long prepared by the clique of administration officials who seem determined upon a course of appeasement toward communist Russia and communist China. "It follows the line of weak-kneed diplomacy so long advocated by the socialist government of England, by the French and Italian communist blocs... It demonstrates the insidious power over the president of Secretary Acheson and General Marshall, who are jointly responsible for selling out China to communism." The Chicago Sun-Times: "No American general is bigger than the government of the United States. No American general is bigger than his constitutional commander-in-chief... He was fired because he was insubordinate." The Nashville, Tenn., Banner, Outrage and tragedy are visited upon this nation by the summary decision to fire General MacArthur, whose sin was not insubordination, but the possession of knowledge above and beyond the policy-standard of a Liliputian retinue clamoring for his scalp." The paper asked for MacArthur testimony before Congress. The Democrats continue law during the next major World War I—and there were major scandals. But during War II both Democrats and publicans joined in chuckling law off the statute book result; some men worked on government one month, the jobs working against the ment the next month. Another result has been rash of scandals now being tigged by Congress. And although Congress serves credit for probing Congress also deserves for throwing out a law for 50 years had helped to scandals down. was considerable of a spring his school days.

The store doors were closed yesterday and the keepers thereof, with elongated faces and drooping chins, looked lonesomely through the windows and admired the rich sand of our well-cared-for streets. Quite a number of aborigines were in the streets yesterday, investing their coin acquired by sheep shearing, in benzine and tangle-foot.

WASHINGTON—The televised Kefauver crime probe which kept millions of people glued to their television sets will have long-range repercussions this week when Senator William Benton of Connecticut introduces a resolution aimed at the further use of television for education and public service. Benton made a fortune in the advertising business, also owns the Muzak corporation which pipes music into thousands of hotels and restaurants. Now working hard at his new job of Senator, Benton believes the priceless TV channels of the nation should not be parceled out only for commercial purposes, but should be used in part by the universities and public school system. So far the Federal Communications Commission has ruled that 10 per cent of the TV channels should be reserved for education. Senator Benton agrees with FCC Commissioner Frieds Hennock that the figure should be at least 25 per cent. Meanwhile Sen. Ed Johnson of Colorado has agreed to give the Benton resolution a hearing before his Senate interstate commerce committee. Note—Co-sponsors of the TV-education resolution include Senators Hunt, Democrat of Wyoming, and Wiley, Republican of Wisconsin—both members of the Kefauver committee. However, Senator Tobey of New Hampshire, who once tangled with the Radio Corporation of America, declined. OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER TO THOSE WHO have never been a member of the military service of the United States, the abrupt and apparently cold-blooded firing of General MacArthur seems incredible. The veterans, however, regardless of their personal views of MacArthur and regardless of their political leanings, are able to look at the drastic action from a purely military standpoint. The general disobeyed an order from his superiors, and in the Army, this constitutes the sin of sins. In his first army indictment speech, the recruit has artiled into him the sanity of the military order, and the dire consequences of his refusal to obey. At least once each six months, all personnel of the Army are read the formidable Army Regulations, whether the troops are all maneuvers, at their base, on the high seas. Interwoven among these regulations, which constitute the soldier's law, are numerous bluntly waded paragraphs repeating the absolute necessity for quick and unquestioning obedience to orders. It is easy to realize how necessary this state system is to an army, without it the entire structure would crumble into a disorganized, inefficient and impotent mood. THE SOLDIER IS told to obey any order coming from a duty authorized superior officer or military agency, whether the order be unjust or not. If the order should be unjust and illegal, the soldier may appeal to higher authorities, but still he is taught to execute the order. So, in one way, we can pass off the MacArthur-Truman matter as just a commanding officer disciplining a subordinate who has failed to carry out orders, leaving out of consideration any personal views as to which man has the more superior intellect or capabilities. With things as they are in the Far East today, it seems to me that very few of us are capable of making an intelligent decision on who is right or wrong in the MacArthur decision. But the old artillery captain did the only thing he could do from a military standpoint, and the Army Regulations and the Constitution of the United States will vindicate him on that point. It is interesting to note that Artillery Captain Harry Truman in the first World War was subordinate to General MacArthur who was then commander of the Rainbow Division. It is also interesting to speculate on just what the general would have done in case the captain refused to carry out specific orders. AS FOR THE other factors involved—those on the high political level—none of us really know the broad picture and we are unable...

However, Senator Tobey of New Hampshire, who once tangled with the Radio Corporation of America, declined. Postwar Scandals After the post-Civil War scandals of the Ulysses S. Grant administration, a Republican Congress voted a law whereby no government employee could resign and prosecute a claim against the government for private business until two years after he had left the government. The Democrats continued this law during the next major war—World War I—and there were no major scandals. But during World War II both Democrats and Republicans joined in chuckling this law off the statute books. As a result, some men worked for the government one month, then took jobs working against the government the next month. Another result has been the wish of scandals now being investigated by Congress. And although Congress deserves credit for probing them, Congress also deserves blame for throwing out a law which for 50 years had helped to hold scandals down.

One day a young traveling salesman from San Francisco, who held the 10-yardateur championship of the state arrived in town and spread the report that he could beat Joe.
