MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager Deferring students saves time, $... It's getting to be the fad these days for some of the newspapers to blast college students. The way some editorialists would have it, the university is just a sanctuary for the draft dodger. Unfortunately, the college students retain no pressure groups in the legislative branches of government. Students have a work program of their own to attend to—and it rarely is limited to a 40-hour week. Pinpoint of the attack has been the deferment of university students to continue their schooling. The army needs a certain amount of specialists to carry on a mobilization program. The men to operate this program have to be trained. The schools to train the men can be: a) the nationwide network of state and private universities, or, b) government operated training programs. The expense involved in operating these schools has made up the majority of the male student population at many universities. Joe isn't a strange brand of biological specimen. He doesn't consider himself far above the average guy—not the smart ones anyhow. Joe didn't pressure Draft Director Louis B. Hershey into deferring him. Hershey just might have learned something himself after being chief summons bearer for the call to arms from 1941 to 1945. Hershey just might have learned that the men have to have some exposure to education to be of any use to a mechanized army. Hershey might also have learned... city students to continue their schooling. The army needs a certain amount of specialists to carry on a mobilization program. The men to operate this program have to be trained. The schools to train the men can be: a) the nationwide network of state and private universities, or, b) government operated training programs. The expense involved in operating government schools is reason in itself for the deferral of students. The taxpayers have enough of a burden on their shoulders. A man can get a thorough training for an army career in a university at no additional expense to the taxpayers. "Joe College" has been falsely placed on a pedestal of humor by editorial cartoon writers for the "super-citizenry, far and above the crass and sordid defense of country." For the past several years Joe, Joe didn't pressure Draft Director Louis B. Hershey into deferring him. Hershey just might have learned something himself after being chief admits bearer for the call to arms from 1941 to 1945. Hershey just might have learned that the men have to have some exposure to education to be of any use to a mechanized army. Hershey might also have learned that an educated man has a better chance of defending himself. Then too, it might have occurred to the general that the universities can do the educating and the training for a little less money. Saving money was quite the fad a few months ago. But that's another story. Joe College can and will do his share. He's doing his part right now by learning how to be a better fighting man. The record bears this out. Discretion is a Must for House ... The universal qualities of most proverbs force their employers to use discretion in applying them to concrete situations. Time-worn as it may be, the familiar proverb "All things come to him who waits," still demands the respect of those who use it. Unfortunately, certain of our elected and appointed officials in Washington seem to lack this needed discretion in applying this proverb to a most critical situation—wheat for India. A bill to supply wheat that is needed to prevent mass famine in the cities of this strategically important nation has been shelved by the House Rules committee. This critical decision came in answer to the State Department's request for $190 million dollars which was to be used for the purchase and shipment of grain to the Indian republic. It was a decision based on the two nations' misinterpretation of the other's international motives. Prime Minister Nehru has attempted to apply his version of our Monroe doctrine to his own continent. It is, within limits, adhering to the United States approved policy of national self-deferrination in its declaration "India for Indians." But Nehru's extension of this declaration to include "Asia for Asians" has brought his nation into conflict with our nation. As Nehru has attempted to steer his nation between involvements with either the U.S. or Russia, he has brushed dangerously close to the Russian ship of state according to certain of our eyes. These eyes, adapted for only black or white vision, can see no middle course for the new nation. Accordingly, Nehru's course is a course of famine for his people. The famine, though, is merely a pawn to be used by the Soviets in their international maneuvering. Time and famine are with the Soviets. As the time grows longer and the famine bites more deeply into the Indian cities, the restraints on the religious anti-Western parties will fray and release these parties to carry out their programs of disaster for the West. Discretion bids the attention of our officials. All things lead him to disaster who waits too long. KOREAN WAR (Continued from Page J) ported that five B-29 Super-Had been shot down. The Air Force in Washington announced Friday, however, two U.S. B-29s were shot by red jets in the big battle, the Yalu river. It said sewer other U.S. bombers were dammed but were able to land at A bases. An Air Force spokesman said none of the U.S. jets in fight was damaged or destroyed. Stratemeyer said there was "unmistakable evidence" that reds were planning to step their air operations over Korea. He said six or more new strips were being scraped off rice paddies in North Korea, listing airfields between the Yalu river boundary and the A front lines were being repaired.

Backs, Jr. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Rain commenced to fall about 9 o'clock last night. Mr. Jim Lynch, formerly agent of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land company, arrived here yesterday from San Francisco. The increase in the volume of water in the Santa Ana river, gives evidence that heavy rains have fallen lately in the mountains. A citizen of Los Angeles has had twelve English foxes imported for the purpose of getting up a fox hunt. The lumber for the new house to be erected by Mr. Louis Durr on Lemon street, is nearly all upon the ground and soon the sound of axe and hammer will enliven that vicinity. The new bridge across the Los Angeles river, between Anaheim and Los Angeles will be completed in a day or two. When this happy consummation is reached we can view the approach of a fog without fearing the interruption of communication with Los Angeles. 50 Years Ago Mrs. Fred Crist will entertain the Ladies Euchre club at her home this afternoon. W. M. Johnson, father of Eugene Johnson of Olive, and brother-in-law of Godfrey Stock of this city, who has been here on a visit for a month, departed on Tuesday for his home in Michigan. Mr. Johnson was so favorably impressed 25 Years Ago Jesse Vrooman, for many years employed in the street cleaning department of the city died suddenly at his home on East San Ana street Monday. He was a familiar figure on the streets and was known to all the residents of the city. John Brumworth left on Sunday over the Santa Fe, for Wooden, Ill., where he will attend the celebration of his father's hundred and second birthday. He will be absent about three weeks. Herman Dickel came down from Pasadena to attend the telephone luncheon on Monday. He was one of the original subscribers to the system installed here in 1897. For a number of years he has resided in Pasadena. OBLONG VIEWS (This column was written by Owen Anderson/student at the University of Southern California, for the Anaheim Gazette.) Korean casualty reports, correspondents' stories by-lined from hospital wards and the sight of youthful convalescents on leave are daily reminders of war's human costs. But none of these dramatize the effects of battle and injury as effectively as the photographs taken in hospital wards. The camera finds too many beds jammed into too little space. Records traction frames, plasma bottles and elevated casts suspended from far too many beds. Motionless patients are too bored to take an interest in the cameraman. The photographer catches each detail of this massed hopelessness. But, mister, don't believe everything you see. Sure, the ward's overcrowded. What military hospital isn't? The plasma bottles and casts are just so much hospital equipment. That part you can believe. But those patients! I've never seen an open ward like that; nothing's going on. Something is always taking place. Every man in the ward sees to that. If they didn't they'd be at each other's throats in no time. Whenever a guy got a case of blues and forgets to keep up his end of the conversation, one of his buddies snaps him out of it but quick. One case of blues can contaminate the whole ward in double-quick time. No wonder these kids' folks fill letters full of worry and questions about hospital conditions and care if those are the pictures they see. I know it's hard for outsiders to see that there are plenty of days to pass the time in these places. Of course you get tired of paying cards and checkers...just the same as you get tired of reading. But after a man has been in one of these places for a while, knows that it won't help him if he grips all the time. When he realizes that, he starts noticing the little things. Then he starts to look forward to them. Just like the times the ward boys wheel in a new case from another hospital. This new patient is in regulation uniform and complaining to the ward boys. The second stretcher comes to a stop in front of an empty cot, the new patient swings over the side and onto his feet. He complains that he could have walked. He's an ambulant patient. The ward boys always ignore these patients and let one of the veterans of the ward fell the newcomer that the hospital doesn't like chances with the new patients until one of the doctors has had the chance to check him over. This routine always helps the newcomer orient himself. Another routine is the matter of back rubs. Everybody who's infused to his bed gets them. It doesn't take a new patient long to MANTLE NOT TO BE INDUCTED—New York baseball ringer Mickey Mantle has been found "not acceptable" for inducing military service "at the present time." His local selective disclosed today. The 19-year-old Commerce, Okla., product classified 4-F before making the test, his first examination of the eyes of the Army. Board member Joe Payton said the off-Mantle's disqualification could not be made public. Presumably, it is because of chronic osteomyelitis in the young left leg, the allment that originally caused his deferment.

The craft, dramatic and aquatic programs will also be expanded, Derr said. He explained that the budget boost would cover recent salary increases which were comparable to raises given other city employees. Anaheim, he added, pays only $1 per capita for its recreation, while the average for other sixth class cities in the state is $1.50. $4400 For High School The high school's share of the new budget is $4400, a $1482 increase over last year. In further action the board gave tenure to five third-year teachers by awarding them contracts for next year. The five are Kemuel H. Anderson, Philip S. Engebretson, Galen H. Messmer, Shirley Paison and Elizabeth Webb. Ruth Swanson and Barbara Watson, other third-year teachers, were not given contracts pending discussion of further needs. Paul A. Demaree, superintendent, read letters from the Savanna and Laurel district boards requesting a meeting to discuss the establishment of junior high schools. The board agreed to meet with the Savanna and Laurel representatives for dinner Monday. Brodie (Continued from Page 1) when Bordie ordered Kansas City. (Editor's note: Today's column has been contributed by visiting Sports Editor Lloyd Savage.) Tuesday the major league pen-nant scrambles get under way once again. Over in the junior American circuit, the World Champion New York Yankees are out to show their heels to their perennial snipers, the Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers. Experts are a little more hesitant this year than in others to predict the Bronx Bombers will finally come apart at the seams and collapse like a punctured tire. It just doesn't seem to be in the New Yorker's makeup . . . or Casey Stengel's scheme of things. Nevertheless, many of the crystal gazers are still looking with respect at the vaunted batting power the Red Sox carry from top to bottom in their lineup. They've done this before only to see the Sox flounder in the stretch. All point out that the Bostonians just don't have the flingers —hence no pennant. Prompted by curiosity and a strong Red Sox leaning—being from Boston—I decided to look into the why and how of this tremendous Bosox batting strength. The figures are quite revealing and point out more strongly why you should not go too far out on the Bosox limb. As a team, the Sox last year had a seasonal batting average of 303 to lead all teams in both leagues. New York was next with 282. Yet the Sox finished third behind Detroit. Why? It occurred to me that if the figures were broken down to show the averages of team against team something entirely different, the sole exception of the White Sox had a higher average against Red Sox than its compiled average for all teams. Cleveland was percentage points, the Yank and Detroit 9. At the same time the Sox showing a loss over their average against all teams B seventh and eighth place St Browns and Philadelphia letics. They were off 25 points to Detroit pitching, 17 against Yanks, 19 against Cleveland against Washington and 13 Chicago. Here the figures that the Sox owe much of prodigious average to their ing of the Browns' and Athletic pitching—the weak sisters' league. You can supplement this fact that the Sox flinger sued more passes to the Tigers and Senators than they received. The difference with Indians was only five in the sox favor. Significantly shown, the wired Red Sox power let down it hurt most, against these division clubs. At the same these clubs actually rose to occasion and outdid them against Sox pitching. In meetings the Yanks, Tiger Indians outhit the Sox and ed a winning won-lost percent against them. Conclusion: The Sox did triumph in the 1950 flag because their batting power them in the pinch and drew them in strength to a level with their greatest weakness—pitched—took over. Oh well.

Managers Plead For More Hurlers By ED CORRIGAN Associated Press Sports Writer It's an old tune, but as long as there's baseball, major league managers will sing it. It's a short one; in fact, it has only one line and goes like this: "Give me another pitcher." With the official opening of the majors only three days away, most managers were making eleventh hour efforts to bolster their mound staffs with the possible exception of the Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants. Both Steve O'Neill, Sox skipper, and Leo Durocher of the Giants, can sit back and watch the scramble. The Sox and the Giants are two of the favorites to take the American and National league flags. But how about their main rivals? In the American, the defending champion New York Yankees are worried with Allie Reynolds on the sidelines. Portland Continues to Win, Leads PCL by Two Games By The Associated Press Portland's bumptious Beavers—displaying all-around balance they didn't suspect they had—are rattling a full two games ahead of the Pacific Coast league pack. Last night they combined timely homers by Eddie Basinski, the fiddler who had suddenly developed a bass violin punch, and Brooks Holder, with expert relief pitching by Jack Creel. The result: second place San Diego was beaten, 4-2. Colonist Netters Trip Gate City 6-3 On Home Courts Colonist netters whipped San Bernardino high on the Anaheim high school courts yesterday afternoon by the tune of 6-3. But Coach Bill Cook's boys had to come from behind twice before they had the situation in hand. The Gate City team took the first two matches before the Colonists got rolling to take the next two to tie things up. The visitors made their last bid, winning the fifth match. Anaheim swept the doubles to clinch the victory. The Colonists' junior varsity swept their matches 4-0. The Results: Singles Todd (SB) defeated Billow (A), 6-0, 8-4; Goolsby (SB) defeated Legg (A), 6-0, 6-0; Hessel (A) defeated Porter (SB), 6-8, 7-5, 6-4; Haster (A) defeated Felipini (SB), 6-2, 8-1; Laughead (SB) defeated Wright (A), 6-4 San Francisco, coming back off the basement floor, swept its three-game series with Oakland with a 4-3 victory. Manager Joe Gordon's homer gave Sacramento a 5-4 win over Seattle and Los Angeles' Fred Baczewski edged Hollywood's Vic Lombardi in a 1-0 southpaw duel. Embree's Loses Holder's two-run smash and Basinski's loner saddled San Diego's Red Embree with a loss within three innings. Creel picked up the win tab with a brilliant six-inning relief stint, shutting out the Padres with four hits after Red Lynn pulled a Bornco act with seven walks in the first three chukkers. Joe Rowell homered for San Diego off Lynn. San Francisco made it four straight after their disastrous 13-game losing streak by getting to Wes Bailey for three runs in the fourth and a deciding fourth tally in the eighth. Bob Savage was the winner, although it took a stout relief performance by Matt Zidich to pull him through. Augie Galan homered for the Oaks with The sole exception of the Chicago White Sox had a higher batting average against Red Sox pitching than its compiled average against all teams. Cleveland was up 22 percentage points, the Yankees 14, and Detroit 9. At the same time the Sox were showing a loss over their seasonal average against all teams but the seventh and eighth place St. Louis Browns and Philadelphia Athletics. They were off 25 points against Detroit pitching, 17 against the Yanks, 19 against Cleveland, 12 against Washington and 13 against Chicago. Here the figures show that the Sox owe much of their odious average to their bullying of the Browns' and Athletics' pitching—the weak sisters in the league. You can supplement this with the fact that the Sox flingers isted more passes to the Yanks,angers and Senators than the Sox received. The difference with the dians was only five in the Box favor. Significantly shown, the vaunted Red Sox power let down when hurt most, against the first vision clubs. At the same time, these clubs actually rose to the occasion and outdid themselves against Sox pitching. In these setings the Yanks, Tigers and Dians outhit the Sox and show a winning won-lost percentage insist them. Conclusion: The Sox did notumph in the 1950 flag chase cause their batting power failed him in the pinch and dropped him in strength to a level where his greatest weakness—pitchingook, over. Oh well. It's another year. Durthe winter the Sox gave up a Anaheim swept the doubles to clinch the victory. The Colonials' junior varsity swept their matches 4-0.
