MELLEY Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager What would you do? If the whole flaming debate over General MacArthur could be reduced to one, all-important question this would be it: Would you make the decision that might—the emphasis is on "might"—bring Russia into the war on the side of China, starting World War III? Each person taking sides in this dispute between President Truman and the general must answer the question for himself, in his own conscience. At this moment no one—including the president and the general—can say what Russia "might" do if we took more active steps against China. The question can be put in another way: Although we are fighting the Chinese, all the fighting has been in Korea We have not yet reached there. China? President Truman's decision—and like the general, he can't be sure what Russia might do—is against widening the war on China at this time, anyway. And General Omar Bradley, chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who advise the president on military policy, is against widening the war now. He said this week: "We can not take the chance of trying to anticipate immediate communist intentions...if at all possible, Korea should be settled on the present battleground." Mr. Truman has another reason for not waging World War III now or for widening the war in Asia: he wants to build up the defense of Western Europe and pour supplies in there. A club was organized home of Miss Belle Lyon, which is called the D officers are as follows: Weisel president; Lillie vice-president; Belle Lyon Elsie Nebelung, treasurer; Click, secretary. The ring will be at the honour At this moment no one—including the president and the general—can say what Russia "might" do if we took more active steps against China. The question can be put in another way: Although we are fighting the Chinese, all the fighting has been in Korea. We have done no damage to China itself. But just north of Korea, and adjoining it, is China's Manchuria. China's supply bases are there, including bases for any planes it had. And it is down through Manchuria that China pours men and supplies for the fighting in Korea, keeping the fighting going. At the rate the fighting is going, it may last indefinitely without any truce or peace in sight. But if we widened the fighting to China itself, the Chinese then might be forced to quit. How could we widen it? We could bomb the Chinese bases on their own soil of Manchuria; put an economic and naval blockade on the Chinese coast; and turn Chiang Kai-Shek's troops on Formosa loose against the Chinese mainland, thus forcing the Chinese communists to fight on two fronts. That's what MacArthur suggests. But China is an ally of Russia, and Russia's Siberia adjoints Manchuria. If we attacked China itself, Russia might come to the aid of her ally in Asia. And once she made the decision to get into the war against the U.S. and its Allies, it might start war in Europe at the same time. Didn't MacArthur think of that possibility? Yes. But he's not sure Russia would come in. And, of course, he's not sure it wouldn't. He says Russia wouldn't "necessarily" get into it but probably would suit herself, when she felt ready, about getting into a world war. So, not knowing what Russia would do or where our action would lead, what would you do if you had to make the decision about widening the war on He said this week: "We cannot take the chance of trying to anticipate immediate communist intentions... if at all possible, Korea should be settled on the present battleground." Mr. Truman has another reason for not wanting World War III now or for widening the war in Asia: he wants to build up the defense of Western Europe and pour supplies in there. A war in Asia would drain away these supplies. MacArthur argues that the real war with communism already is being fought in Asia, and that in Asia "we fight Europe's war with arms while the diplomats there still fight it with words." In his talk to Congress yesterday MacArthur didn't speak directly of bombing Chinese bases in Manchuria, but it was implicit in what he said. In that speech he urged: Economic and naval blockade of China, turning Chiang's men loose on the Chinese mainland, and using "air reconnaissance" over Manchuria. Which would merely mean scouting over Manchuria with planes. But in another part of the speech he said that unless the Chinese bases in Manchuria are destroyed, victory in Korea is impossible. Since he also said he had no thought of sending American ground troops into Manchuria, the only way in which the Manchurian bases could be destroyed would be by aerial bombardment. On Dec. 1, he said his lack of authority—and this was the heart of his quarrel with the president—to attack the Chinese bases was "an enormous handicap, without precedent in military operation." He said this in an interview with the magazine U.S. News and World Report. And on March 24, he pointed out to the Chinese that if their "interior" bases were exposed to Allied power they risked imminent military collapse. Their "interior" bases couldn't be exposed to any Allied power except Allied air power, since MacArthur yesterday said "no man in his right mind would advocate sending our ground forces into continental China." In the Days of Long Ago 75 Years Ago Numerous propositions have been received from various Chinese companies in San Francisco to supply workmen to finish the Cajon Water canal. Frank Ey has sold the blacksmith building, recently bought by him, to Joseph Jordan. The dust is very annoying. "To dust thou shalt return," seems to be almost entirely fulfilled in the case of the Anaheimer. The vineyards are beginning to send out leaflets. The weather yesterday was as cold as at any time during the winter and a stove with a good fire was a comfortable piece of furniture. The weather for the last day or two has had a touch of cold. SAMMY ENTERTAINING NIGHTLY AT THE SHAMROCK COCKTAIL LOUNGE 1822½-24 Newport Blvd. Costa Mesa, Calif. WASHINGTON — At an explosive Republican Senatorial strategy meeting this week, the big GOP guns warned against tieing the Republican party too closely to MacArthur's kite. One of those who led the warning was Senator Taft, whose friends have been worried that MacArthur might crowd him as the GOP presidential candidate in 1952. "We don't know what MacArthur is going to say when he gets here," Taft told the strategy meeting. "As a political 50 Years Ago City Clerk Merritt is in San Francisco where he went last week as representative of the local tent of Maccabees to the Grand Lodge of that order, which is meeting in that city today and tomorrow. He will be absent two weeks. H. W. Comstock, wife and two children arrived on Friday last from Kansas and will locate here permanently, Mr. Comstock is a brother-in-law of our well known fellowtowns man J. H. Enearl. A club was organized at the home of Miss Belle Lyons on April 6, which is called the D.W.C. The officers are as follows: Gretchen Weisel, president; Lillie Conrad, vice-president; Belle Lyons, guide; Elsie Nebelung, treasurer; Dora Click, secretary. The next meeting will be at the home of Miss party we should keep out of this." Senator Millikin of Colorado chimed in that occasionally plat "conquering heroes" had come home and put their foot in their mouths. He recalled that Admiral Dewey, the conqueror of Manila, got a hero's reception and was presented with a free house, then transferred the house to his wife. Millikin also cited Charles Lindberg, who came home to a hero's welcome and later made some remarks that offended religious groups. However, the sharpest Republican fire was concentrated on Senator Cain of Washington for putting the Republican party on the spot with his resolution declaring war on China. His colleagues agreed it was politically ill-advised, and ripped into him unmercifully. Senator Wherry of Nebraska who has been Secretary of State Acheson's bitter foe, actually snorted: "as far as the Cain resolution is concerned, I am on Acheson's side." Senator Young of North Dakota warned that declaring war on China would do "more damage than anything that has happened in the Republican party in five years." Senator Aiken of Vermont pointed out a "slight technical" obstacle. He brought out that "we can't declare war against a government that we have refused to recognize." Cain Argues However, Cain tried to defend his position by arguing that his real purpose was to "pin this war on Truman as Truman's war." Colonists Slam Bellflower 9-6 Clubbing two Bellflower hurriers for 12 hits, Anaheim pounded out its second win of the year yesterday as it concluded its practice season with a 9-6 victory. It left the Colonists with a 2-10 record for the year. With the top three men in the order—Kenny Coen, Gayle Herbel and Dwaine Masterson—collecting eight hits among them, the Colonists scored early and then hung on to withstand Bellflower rallies. Pat Roberts stifled the hosts until the fifth when Dick Ramella had to be called in to assist him.

The officers are as follows: Gretchen Weisel, president; Lillie Conrad, vice-president; Belle Lyons, guide; Elsie Nebelung, treasurer; Dora Click, secretary. The next meeting will be at the home of Miss Elise Nebelung. 25 Years Ago Harry H. Hale of Placentia and William L. Hale of Fullerton have been entertaining their two brothers from Vermont for several weeks past. These gentlemen are Maryin N. Hale and Frank F. Hale. Their farms are near the Coolidge ranch and they know the president and his family. When they left Vermont the thermometer registered 10 degrees below zero, while here they find sunny skies and orange plantations. More than 100,000 persons visited the scene of the Union Oil Company's $ 6,000,000 fire at Brea, which started Thursday morning when a bolt of lightning ignited two 750,000-barrel oil tanks and spread to another tank of the same size. On Sunday the roads leading to Brea and La Habra were jammed for miles with people from virtually every city in Southern California. Traffic was so heavy on the Brea-Fullerton road at times yesterday that a motorist could not drive from one town to the other in less than an hour's time. The roads were kept open only through the efforts of traffic officers aided by half a score of deputy sheriffs. Senator Aiken of Vermont pointed out a "slight technical" obstacle. He brought out that "we can't declare war against a government that we have refused to recognize." Cain Argues However, Cain tried to defend his position by arguing that his real purpose was to "pin this war on Truman as Truman's war." He pointed out that the president in his April 11 speech mentioned war 21 times. However, Cain's colleagues failed to follow his reasoning. In the end, Cain insisted that he had promised to introduce the resolution and intended to go through with it. However, he agreed to make a statement that his only purpose was to focus attention on the China issue, since Truman had already got the country into war. The most explosive outburst of the closed-door meeting came from Indiana's wild Senator Jenner. He was spurred out of his seat by a remark from Senator Taft that "no responsible Republican Senator would advocate impeachment." To this Jenner shouted angrily: "I may not be part of the responsible Republican leadership, but I have my own opinion." He demanded immediate impeachment of President Truman and used considerable profanity in demanding it. In response to a suggestion that the Republicans appoint a welcoming committee, Millikin declared, "MacArthur must be left in the hands of the public. It shouldn't look like the Republicans are sponsoring him."

Zarilla is making Frank Lane, the Chicago general manager, look like the American League's Branch Rickey. And all because of a deal that looked like a bum move last December. They laughed when Lane traded. Portland Stretches Lead to Four By The Associated Press Portland's scurrying Beavers returned home today with a fat four-game lead in the Pacific Coast league race. The Beavers, who open a four-game stand against seventh-place Seattle tonight, widened the gap another notch with a 9-8 win in 11 innings over San Diego in the Border town last night. It gave Portland the important series, two games to one, and dropped the fading Padres uncomsecond-place San Diego from sixth-place Hollywood after: The latter beat San Francisco, 8-1, Los Angeles took Oakland 7-2, and Sacramento edged Seattle 7-6 in 11 innings. The Beavers gave Leroy Wheat, who leaves for the Army shortly, a rousing send off, driving him out with six runs in the first inning. They stretched it to 8-0, then blew it as the Padres had two four-run innings. Pinchhitter Joe Bockman drove in the tie-breaking run in By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Maybe it's only Al Zarilla but the White Sox are hitting like Red Sox now. Zarilla is making Frank Lane, the Chicago general manager, look like the American League's Branch Rickey. And all because of a deal that looked like a bum move last December. They laughed when Lane traded Ray Scarborough and Willie Wight to Boston for Zarilla, Joe Dobson and Dick Littlefield. "Must be plenty of dough involved," the wise guys said. Lane said "No." Lane kept insisting it was an "even trade" that would help both clubs. All winter it seemed Boston's Red Sox would be the only club helped. Most experts thought the two regular pitchers assured them the pennant. It may yet, but the first week evidence is against them. Wight, knocked out by New York opening day, was Boston's first loser. Zarilla, bursting with power, is hitting .445 with two home runs, a double and two singles accounting for seven RBI's in two days. The Zarilla fever is catching. Or maybe it's the St. Louis Brownie pitching. Chicago has flailed the Brownie staff for a total of 30 runs and 33 hits in two days for a club batting average just under the .400 mark. Naturally they won both games. Zarilla and Eddie Robinson each spanked a three-run homer yesterday in the 13-5 rout of the Browns before only 1079 fans. Both came off loser Al Widmar. It's been years since you didn't have to turn the newspaper upside down to find both Chicago teams on top. But look quick, before something happens. Both the White Sox and Cubs are riding high, tied for first place. Frankie Frisch, Cub manager, got a well-pitched game from Paul Minner, the Dodger refugee, to shut out Cincinnati, 3-0, on seven hits. Willie (The Knuck) Ramsdell was the victim as the Reds lost their third straight. Andy Pafko drove in two of the Cub runs.
