THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAN ESLFEN ERNEST SEVER LEONARD KREIDT MYLES BRADLEY NEIL STANLEY Q. E. MELLEN MARY ROULAND RALPH ROULAND LUCY HUBBARD Bradley's calculated risk ... Gen. Omar N. Bradley says it was his decision to thin out American forces in the Ardennes prior to the 1944 German "Battle of the Bulge" breakthrough attempt—and that he would do it again. The Army Chief of Staff, writing in Life Magazine, said light forces were left in the forest so all others available could be thrown into an offensive. “This calculated risk was mine and I have never regretted having made it,” Bradley wrote. “Indeed were I to live through that decision again, I would make no other.” “To be sure it was not the safest choice—but had safety been the byword of our generalship in France, we might have wistered on the Seine within was just as neatly hoodwinked by on Rundstedt as was the rest of the Allied command. “While I freely accept responsibility for our 'calculated risk' in the Ardennes, I do not admit that there were any significant warnings given me which I chose to ignore.” Bradley credits the late Gen. George Patton with “one of the most astonishing feats of generalship of our campaign in the west” in swiftly moving his Third Army over ice roads from a Saar bridgehead to relieve the Bulge defenders. Bradley told of his own experiences as “a half-million GI's played cat and mouse” in attempting to detect Germans in GI uniforms. “三 times,” he wrote, I was that Douglas MacArthur twice ridden up and downylvania avenue on histories, each time under presidents, and each time the principle of civil military government was. The first time was nine years ago under the Hoover administration, when a timid president had slow in handling a group veterans lobbying for a boy extreme military measure finally used to evict them. The second time is today a president with more than caution, whose utterances and precipitous have brought his admin to the same low stage of clarity as Herbert Hoover.

Press Comment Turner The tables are turned on another interesting manner. Arthur, after driving on bonus army, was unpopular the extreme. The Veteran Foreign Wars, which praised today, was bitter in its decision then. And the Scripps- ard newspapers, which ch MacArthur today, felt quite ferently then. "Revolution has been ther ed, General MacArthur, c o staff of the U.S. Army, an n from the White House," said Scripps- Howard Washington News. "This is untrue. Th erans, ridden down and by MacArthur's troops, w e surrectionists, according to general. This is untru revolutions can not be three by unarmed men. The marchers were unarmed. "What a pitiful spectacle of the great American g ment, mightiest in the en chasing unarmed men, wom children with Army tanks." Changes on the Avenue There are other changes tween that march nearly two cades ago and that of today. Arthur himself, a man w photographic eye, will do be the first to notice them. As he leaves the Capita goes up the avenue toward White House, he will pass The Mall, one of the most b ful parks in Washington—st ing from the foot of Capita to the Lincoln Memorial. MacArthur has never seen park before. For, during that march down Pennsylvania a it was partly a grove of around dilapidated houses, quarters for the 20,000 m script, pathetic veterans came to Washington during depression days seeking for their families. MacArthur will also pass IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago We are informed that the new bank building will be two stories instead of one, as stated in our former issue. The upper story will be used in connection with the Planters hotel. Mr. Webster arrived on Friday from San Francisco with seven men, to endeavor to raise the Barkentine "Ella" which was stranded some time ago at the Landing. The team of Messrs. St. John and Minor ran away on Sunday, throwing the inmates of the buggy, Mr. St. John and wife, to the ground, bruising them severely. Nightwatchman Bohn was busy yesterday hunting for some fellows who amused themselves the night before by breaking windows in one of the Chinese quarters. Mr. Toler has christened his ranch near the Squires place, Rancho de las Tunas. The name is very pretty and appropriate. Mr. Squires informed us yesterday that his field of barley near Orange has been pronounced by judges to be one of the best ever grown in this valley. We understand that the Planters hotel has secured the services of a French cook and their dinners are served "a la mode." We very seldom dine out. The large warehouse at the depot is rapidly approaching completion. New improvements are shortly to be made on Centre street. We understand that several brick stores are to be erected. The Los Angeles ice-works are now manufacturing about two and one half tons of ice per day. 50 Years Ago C. L. Ennis, formerly principal of the Anaheim public schools, died in Los Angeles some days ago of heart failure. Mr. Ennis had filled the position of assistant superintendent of city schools for many years. He was an excellent teacher and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. Tomorrow evening occurs the concert given by the ladies of Fullerton and vicinity for the benefit of the free reading room. The concert will be held at Chadbourne's hall. The following ladies and gentlemen will appear: Miss Minnie Roper of Santa Ana; Miss Melanie Cahen of this city; Miss Balcom; Miss Grace Smith of Fullerton; Wm. C. Hancock of Los Angeles, all vocalists; Mrs. C. C. Chapman, Reading; Mrs. Brenner of Los Angeles, Mrs. Bishop of Police of Anaheim, aided deputy sheriffs under Ed Moilan, chief criminal deputy sheriff are conducting a county search for a lone bandit, late Wednesday night held up robbed the Five Points Pharmacy in West Anaheim, escaping approximately $20 in cash. Bandit entered the drug store just before closing time, and drawn pistol ordered R. H. S. man, clerk, to open the cash register and deliver the contraband Sharman did as he was told. The robber had secured the mule he ordered the druggist to lie down in the prescription room the store. The robber then ran out the front door, across sidewalk and entered an a mobile. WASHINGTON—It is symbolic that Douglas MacArthur has twice ridden up and down Pennsylvania avenue on historic occasions, each time under unpopular presidents, and each time when the principle of civilian versus military government was at issue. The first time was nearly 20 years ago under the Hoover administration, when a cautious, timid president had been so slow in handling a group of veterans lobbying for a bonus that extreme military measures were finally used to evict them. The second time is today under a president with more courage than caution, whose injudicious utterances and precipitous actions have brought his administration to the same low stage of unpopularity as Herbert Hoover's. Sirnificent also may be the fact that MacArthur's previous advance down Pennsylvania avenue, behind tanks and cavalry, drove a decisive nail in the Hoover political coffin and led to the Republican party's disastrous defeat. Today, the tables are turned, and MacArthur's second ride up Pennsylvania avenue may drive a nail in the Truman political coffin and lead to the Democratic party's defeat. Press Comment Turns The tables are turned also in another interesting manner. MacArthur, after driving out the Bonus army, was unpopular in the extreme. The Veterans of Today, the tables are turned, and MacArthur's second ride up Pennsylvania avenue may drive a hall in the Truman political coffin and lead to the Democratic party's defeat. Press Comment Turns The tables are turned also in another interesting manner. MacArthur, after driving out the bonus army, was unpopular in the extreme. The Veterans of Foreign Wars, which praises him today, was bitter in its denunciation then. And the Scripps-Howard newspapers, which champion MacArthur today, felt quite differently then. "Revolution has been threatened," General MacArthur, chief of staff of the U.S. Army, announces from the White House," said the Scripps-Howard newspapers, which champion MacArthur today, felt quite differently then. "Revolution has been threatened," General MacArthur, chief of staff of the U.S. Army, announces from the White House," said the Scripps-Howard newspapers, which champion MacArthur today, felt quite differently then. "The veterans, ridden down and slashed by MacArthur's troops, were insurrectionists, according to the general. This is untrue. Revolutions can not be threatened by unarmed men. The bonin archers were unarmed." "What a pitiful spectacle is that the great American government, mightiest in the world, using unarmed men, women and children with Army tanks." Changes on the Avenue There are other changes between that march nearly two decades ago and that of today. MacArthur himself, a man with a photographic eye, will doubtless the first to notice them. As he leaves the Capitol and goes up the avenue toward the white House, he will pass along the Mall, one of the most beautiful parks in Washington—stretching from the foot of Capitol Hill to the Lincoln Memorial. MacArthur has never seen this park before. For, during that other march down Pennsylvania avenue, was partly a grove of trees bound dilapidated houses, headquarters for the 20,000 non-descript, pathetic veterans who came to Washington during those pression days seeking relief for their families. MacArthur will also pass by the Mellon Art Gallery, one of the most beautiful buildings in Washington, which he has not seen before. It was at this point, when he passed on his previous marche down the avenue, that a Negro veteran waved a big American flag and dared MacArthur's cavalry to advance. Two troopers brought their sabres to salute. Others stood at attention. An officer gave a command. The Negro was ridden down. The scenes on that other marche down Pennsylvania avenue were at one time, awful, gruesome and amusing—booing spectators, tanks, tear gas, veterans taunting troops. "Where were you during the Argonne?" "Hoover's Cossacks." "Bring on Bismarck!" MacArthur would have escaped any blame had it not been for two things. As chief of staff he did not have to participate in the bonus army's eviction. It was a minor police operation which should have been commanded by a colonel from Fort Myer across the Potomac. Instead MacArthur sent for his full-dress uniform, changed in his office in the War Department, and as chief of staff took personal command of the operation—to the accompaniment of newsreels and photographers. Unfortunate Press Conference His second mistake was to hold a press conference, which again was outside the line of duty, and during which he made unfortunate statements taking credit for the "victory." "I have entered villages in wartime which have been in the grip of the enemy for three years," he announced, "and I know what their gratitude means. But never have I seen even in those days, such expressions of gratitude as from the crowds today." Hal Boyle NEW YORK (AP)—Mac is back. And at his side sharing the tremendous ovations accorded General of the Army Douglas MacArthur is his teen-age son Arthur. What is he like, this tail, dark, erect boy of 13—son and grandson of famous American military heroes? Born in Manila, he had been through two wars but never had seen his own homeland until this week. A half-smile lit his handsome features as he stepped down the gangplank of his father's plane at San Francisco for the first time on the soil of the American continent. What turbulent thoughts were in his young mind as he rode with his father and mother to their hotel through lanes of cheers? Already he has seen more of the dangers of war and the perils of peacetime politics than most adults ever know. He has grown up in an atmosphere of great events and great names. But he has never seen a major league baseball game, played hockey from school — or played stick serimimage with a battered tin can in the streets. What will he think of his homeland? He won't see it with quite the naive wonder of an ordinary 13-year-old boy. Not after what he has lived through already. Adventure has surrounded him almost since his birth. When he was four he was on Corregidor, and the Japanese were shelling this stronghold in Manila Bay. The only birthday present his mother could find for him was a can of Army post exchange peanuts. But when asked what he may be going to do next? Maybe Mr. T. has given American people one of mous punches in the meantime; perhaps the Revolution was wasted effort, as it lieve because we are still British country; but theru incident has not eclipsed the local dilemma new rules problem of pumping old problems of pumping sinks. Unfortunately, it looks county may be heading disagreement that nobody to want but which can apparently feel it must order to protect its own rights. It is not a disgrace rights; just over the map protecting them. Briefly, it is the oldest The cities, on one side standably want protect their local pumping rights they are importing Colorado water through the Metro Water district. They teethe they should not be penal loss of rights for cooper conserving local water superseded by state law that would give credit for Colorado river use, in building up pressure pumping rights, just as they were pumping local water. Some farm leaders seejection to that move. General basin interests, as sented by the Orange County district fear that such amendment would permit cities to build up right rapidly, at the expense o March down Pennsylvania avenue, was partly a grove of trees bound dilapidated houses, headquarters for the 20,000 nondead, pathetic veterans who came to Washington during those pression days seeking relief from their families. MacArthur will also pass by. Hollton, instrumentalists and its Ed Lavanthal, whistling oist. Mr. Brenner will bring him a pianola. 25 Years Ago Furdock Henry writes from Rockton that he was glad to note an item in the Gazette that will be missed in Anaheim, butmates that he was also missed Stockton while residing here. Furdock would be happy in her town if the other dear former did not exist. Police of Anaheim, aided by duty sheriffs under Ed McClellen chief criminal deputy sheriff conducting a county-wide search for a lone bandit, who, Wednesday night held up and led the Five Points Pharmacy West Anaheim, escaping with approximately $20 in cash. The hit entered the drug store before closing time, and with own pistol ordered R. H. Sharpe, clerk, to open the cash register and deliver the contents. Man did as he was told. After robber had secured the money, ordered the druggist to lie face in the prescription room of store. The robber then rushed the front door, across the walk and entered an auto-ole. But another reason for the change in public opinion is the fact that on that other march down Pennsylvania avenue, MacArthur was the evicted—as it did during that march down Pennsylvania avenue in June, 1932; as it does during today's march up the avenue; and as I hope it always will. I have entered villages in wartime which have been in the grip of the enemy for three years," he announced, "and I know what their gratitude means. But never have I seen, even in those days, such expressions of gratitude as from the crowds today." The Washington Board of Trade quite a conservative organization, meanwhile passed a resolution praising the Washington police for their compassionate feeding of the bonus army. Historians, who will have a chance to view the events of the past week more dispassionately than the public comment of today, will be interested in evaluating the steps by which General MacArthur, a none-too-popular figure two decades ago, staged such a terrific popular comeback. One reason of course, is his brilliant handling of the occupation of Japan—a management of a conquered people which history will probably say far surpassed his military achievements. Several others should share credit for victory in the Pacific—Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Halsey, Gen. Walter Krueger and Gen. Robert Elchelberger. But no one can ever detract from the superb manner in which MacArthur stabilized Japan and transformed a suspicious hostile people into genuine admirers of the United States. That historians are sure to say, will be MacArthur's greatest claim to fame. Such contracts would be that the cities would proceed use of Colorado river water if that supply were cut off; cities could pump local water meet their needs without interference or questioning of it. That suggestion received shrift from the cities. Two later the executive board of Orange County League of Cities decided to go ahead with own plan of amending the water district office blinked their eyes, but so far OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER Tuesday night or Wednesday morning SHR SHRD SH SHMH SH SH SENATOR KEFAUVER is now dethroned as the king of television attractions, and General MacArthur ascends to the throne with no fear of successful contradiction to the title. One could not sit in front of his television set for any length of time Tuesday night or Wednesday morning without becoming at least partly "MacArthurized" by the magnetic old war bore who for long and tedious hours was the focal point of the relentless TV cameras. Even at the end of the gruelling motorcade from his hotel up Market street to San Francisco's Civic Center, the 71-year-old hero carried himself better than most men of 50 after nothing more exacting than two or three hours of poker. The apparently indefatigable general was still jaunty and erect even several hours after his Civic Center speech when he waved his last freewell before boarding his plane for Washington and further conquests. Of course, he may have fallen flat on his feet the minute the Constellation's door closed behind him, but that would be only for his charming wife and little Arthur to know. TELEVISION HIT A new high, or something, in coverage of this historic event. The detail of the coverage was fantastically thorough, even ridiculous at points, for instance when viewers were shown the hotel suite which the MacArthurs were to occupy. The television men built this event into such massive proportions that at times one was not absolutely sure he was not about to witness the Second Coming. BUT IT WAS a wonderful show, a spontaneous, warmly human demonstration of Americans welcoming a returned hero as only we can do it. It was enlightening to see the flesh and blood MacArthur after so many years of a diet of stern-visaged photographs, florid communiques and scholarly pronouncements which screened his human side. The candor of the television camera tore away this veil, and we saw not a mythical, inscrutable and controversial war god, but an American soldier plainly moved by the plaudits of the people whom he has served so long and so well. COUNTY COMMENT BY GEORGE E. HART Maybe Mr. T. has given the American people one of his famous punches in the nose, and perhaps the Revolutionary war was wasted effort, as some believe, because we are still under British control, but the MacArthur incident has not wholly elicited the local dilemma—this new water problem of pumping rights that has been added to our old problem of pumping supply. Unfortunately, it looks as if the county may be heading into a disagreement that nobody claims to want but which each side apparently feels it must risk in order to protect its own rights. It is not a disagreement over rights; just over the method or protecting them. Briefly, it is the old lineup. The cities, on one side, understandably want protection on their local pumping rights while they are importing Colorado river water through the Metropolitan Water district. They feel that they should not be penalized by loss of rights for cooperating in conserving local water supply. So they propose an amendment to state law that would give them credit for Colorado river water use, in building up prescriptive pumping rights, just as if they were pumping local water. Some farm leaders see no objection to that move. But the general basin interests as represented by the Orange County water district fear that such an amendment would permit the cities to build up rights too rapidly, at the expense of agriculture. BUT IT WAS a wonderful show, a spontaneous, warmly human demonstration of Americans welcoming a returned hero as only we can do it. It was enlightening to see the flesh and blood MacArthur after so many years of a diet of stern-visaged photographs, florid communiques and scholarly pronouncements which screened his human side. The candor of the television camera tore away this veil, and we saw not a mythical, inscrutable and controversial war god, but an American soldier plainly moved by the plaudits of the people whom he has served so long and so well. MacArthur's vanity (one of his strongest human traits) was revealed by the fact that he did not once remove his famous field-marshall's cap. To have done so would have revealed a half-bald pate and would have detracted immeasureably from the glamor of his impeccably uniformed figure. On another occasion, just before he made his address at the Civic Center, the camera caught him in classic profile as with his right hand he carefully smoothed down the hair on the back of his head, still not removing that cap—his trademark. THE GALLANT GENERAL undoubtedly swung a number of pro-Trumanites over into his camp by stepping up behind his wife while she was briefly at the microphone and saying over her shoulder, "this is the best soldier I ever had." IT MUST BE with conflicting emotions that the lonely man in the White House reflects on this unprecedented outburst of acclaim for a public figure and potential political opponent, and the pill must taste all the more bitter when the commander-in-chief broods over the fact that his own action of last week served to multiply the already vast popularity of a monumental American hero. Glad to see you back, Mac. LEGAL NOTICES (Pub. Anaheim Gazette, March 8, 15, 22, 29, April 6, 13, 19, 27 and May 3, 1951.)

But the general basin interests as represented by the Orange County water district fear that such an amendment would permit the cities to build up rights too rapidly, at the expense of agricultural rights. This the cities deny. More than that, however, the water district officials claim that the amendment would derive the basis interest of any future right to seek a legal curb on the accumulation of pumping rights by the cities, if such a step became necessary to protect other interests in the basin. The water district officials say they are in full sympathy with the cities in their desire to prevent loss of pumping rights. They disagree as to method. They want a method that will protect everybody's right. They suggested a alternative method of handling the question by contract with the water district, as representing all basin interests, and the individual cities, water companies and water works districts. Such contracts would provide that the cities would proceed with the Colorado river water, but that supply were cut off, the cities could pump local water to meet their needs, without interference or questioning of rights. That suggestion received shortrift from the cities. Two days later the executive board of the Orange County League of Cities decided to go ahead with their plan of amending the law. The water district officials asked their eyes, but so far have tioned, everybody cries: "O-o-h No-o-o! Not that! So it probably will be averted one way or another. There has been a lot of give and take in the water situation, and probably it will continue. Such cities as Anaheim and Santa Ana have shown wholly unselfish cooperation in saving local water supply by using Colorado river water almost exclusively, not only at risk to their local pumping rights, but also at greater cost. So it is evident that they will play ball if they feel that they can. The water district, likewise, is doing all that it can to bolster the water supply, having spent nearly half a million dollars in buying surplus Colorado river water from MWD. Even the attorney employed by the cities to handle the legislative amendment said the contract plan of the water district was best, if everybody would agree to it. Well, why not agree? Agree on something, anyhow?
