Today's Giants...
Two old soldiers, heavy with honors:
George Catlett Marshall, Virginia Squire—70, grey-haired, reserved.
Douglas MacArthur, deposed ruler of a conquered empire—71, black-haired, by turns aloof and warmly genial.
They've much in common, these generals, besides the closeness of their ages. (MacArthur is about 11 months older than Marshall.)
Both served with distinction in World War One, rose to the peak of military eminence in World War Two. Each was more than a soldier, too. Marshill became Secretary of State, later Secretary of Defense. MacArthur ran There's scuttlebutt that the Marshall-MacArthur split is more personal than this.
Marshall was promoted to brigadier-general in 1936 on the recommendation of World War One leader, Gen. John J. Pershing, years after MacArthur had attained that rank. MacArthur, who was chief of staff from 1930 to 1935, was reported at the time to have held up Marshall's promotion.
Some say and others deny that a coolness developed between them during that period.
At any rate, they're not men who'd be likely to become bosom friends.
Each keeps to himself each OBLOOMS FROM THIS DEPARTMENT OF THE United States is de000,000 of the taxpayers' starving millions in that withis that I can't stand to once a month.

Both served with distinction in World War One, rose to the peak of military eminence in World War Two. Each was more than a soldier, too. Marshall became Secretary of State, later Secretary of Defense. MacArthur ran occupied Japan.
But look at the headlines:
"MacArthur Charges Marshall Favored Chinese Reds."
"Marshall declares MacArthur Spoiled Peace Chance."
They're firing at each other, now, in the great foreign policy debate—the one which President Truman said last night "is not a political issue—it is a matter of life and death."
Marshall is on the president's side, MacArthur is against both of them—on some key questions of how to fight the Chinese reds. The three profess a common purpose: preventing World War III.
This isn't the first time MacArthur and Marshall have clashed.
In World War Two, in the aftermath of Bataan, MacArthur time and again raised a cry for troops, ships, planes to fight Japan. Marshall, as Army Chief of staff, often turned him down until the war in Europe was won. "Europe First" was the decision then. MacArthur still demands at least equal priority for Asia.

Each keeps to himself, each avoids public functions (MacArthur did, that is, until the huge welcome-home demonstrations), and each appears fully conscious of his unique position in the nation's military history. Rivalry between them wouldn't be surprising.
MacArthur has been wounded in combat, decorated for valor. Marshall's courage has often been praised, but he won his spurs as a staff officer — as a planner rather than as a battlefield leader.
Ironically, the two old soldiers are rivals in a job of salesmanship now. Each seeks to persuade investigating Senators and the nation that his own view is the right one.
Even MacArthur's critics conceded he did a magnificent selling job last week. But Marshall is the man who "sold" Congress the multi-billion-dollar Marshall Plan, "sold" the legislators on a $2,000,000,000 blank check for developing the atom bomb.
Historians may well say: "There were giants in those days."

Mr. Gustav Davis, of the firm of P. Davis and Bro., exhibited to us yesterday some beautiful specimens of the China plum, grown on his place on Lemon street.
We learn that the term "Buck Beer" was first applied in 1832 to a peculiar brew of beer which was made at a garden or place of public resort which stood on a certain small hill near the city of Berlin. We quote Mr. Menzel as our authority.
The "Buck Beer" fever is at its height in town, and Mr. Conrad commenced yesterday to supply the market with a splendid article.
Mr. T. J. Askins has been busy for the last few days breaking some of his fine stock of colts. He has some good blooded young horses which bid fair to make beautiful driving animals.

H. P. Larsen showed us on Tuesday a mass of lava which he picked up at Mauna Loa, volcano in Hawaii, while visiting in the island last year. The volcano is three miles wide by eleven long. Mr. Larsen gathered the lava while it was yet warm and had to improvise his felt hat as a covering to it before he could reach water and cool it. He has presented the specimen to Roman Wisser, at whose place it has developed into quite a curiosity. Lava is molten rock, devoid of metal. There is no mineral in the Hawaiian islands Mr. Larsen states, the volcanic action having melted it and sent it to the bottom. Mauna Loa is probably the largest volcano in the world.

A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Fowler and family, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Mendoza and family and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wagner and family left Friday for Seven Oaks at the headquarters of the Santa Ana river in the San Bernardino mountains, to fish for trout. Mendoza and Wagner caught the limit of 25 and Fowler landed 19. In the afternoon on Saturday a thunderstorm arose in the mountains and a heavy rain continued on Sunday. They returned home Sunday afternoon and found the roads badly washed by the heavy rain. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sandilands and Mr. and Mrs. Berkenstock and many others were at Seven Oaks. Mrs. Sandilands landed the largest trout of the party.
The girls reserve entertained in honor of Mother’s day, on Tuesday evening at the YMCA, when each girl escorted her mother to the hall when supper was served and a pleasant evening spent.
Unlike MacArthur, McClellan never differed with Lincoln public. Also, McClellan was cized by Lincoln for being overcautious and refusing to take offensive, whereas Truman’s creism of MacArthur is over-aggressiveness.
McClellan, son of a family surgeon and grandson of a Revolutionary war general, graduated from West Point second in class which compares with Mr. Arthur’s record average of 94 McClellan served as an observer of Russian tactics during Crimean war in 1855, while Mr. Arthur, accompanied by his father, Lt. Gen. Arthur McClellan, was an observer of Russo-Japanese war in 1905.
McClellan left the Army to become chief engineer of the Illinois Central railroad, returning via the Ohio National Guard after jumping to the rank of major general.
It was in the summer of 1861 that McClellan, barely past two years given command of the moralized Union forces when treating almost into Washington. A few months later Lincoln, John Hay and Secretary of State Seward walked to General McClellan’s house in Washington for conference and were snubbed him.
Five months passed, and the public became impatient with the length of the war (as the public is today with the length of the Korean war) Lincoln, March 1862, relieved McClellan as commander-in-chief but re-
OBLONG VIEWS
FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD
BY WALDO HUNTER
THIS DEPARTMENT notes, with a rising gorge, that the Congress of the United States is debating over the question of sending $150,-100,000 of the taxpayers' money to India to buy wheat for the carving millions in that wierd land. It is on account of things like this that I can't stand to read the metropolitan dailies more than once a month. In India, there are dozens of princes, maharajahs, seekwars, high priests and what-have-you, each with enough wealth ransom Fort Knox. Any one of these potentates could take just the handful of jewels from his coffers and buy enough wheat to have off the famine from the huddled masses. If each one of these highly-placed boys would toss into the pool just one diamond-studded dead-piece or perhaps a trifling emerald encrusted samovar, there would be raised $150 million two or three times over; the people would be fed; and the pain to the donors would be no worse than that of an American kicking in $1 to the Red Cross.
Now, don't call me a communist because I ask the Indian abobos to share the wealth. I am just getting sick unto death of old Uncle Sap showering our wealth on peoples who could take care of their own.
MARGARET TRUMAN reputedly insured her voice for $100,000, that she did with the money is anybody's guess.
ANOTHER THING which rankles this department mightily is that elastic thing called War Surplus. You see advertisements every day or so offering for sale items such as electric motors which cost government $95 but which you can buy for $9.95. And tents, $19.95 which the government paid $100.00 for originally. You think you are getting a bargain when you buy one of these things, if you stop to think, you aren't making such a deal at all. This bill was paid for by you in the beginning. In effect, you are merely serving for a dead horse.
The sensible and logical way for the government to dispose of surplus war equipment would be through government-owned and controlled retail outlets throughout the country... but then this would be called government in competition with free enterprise and the people would have none.
It May Be Baseball Weather Too But Football Was King Last Night
Football was the main subject of conversation at the American Legion hall last night as Legion Commander Bud Johnson and Ben Agafianian, Anaheim's ex-pro footballer, along with the other Legiommaires, welcomed Jack Zilly to the Legion meeting.
Jack is one of the pro boys from the Los Angeles Rams.
Zilly presented to the large group a movie "Ram Highlights of 1950" at the semi-monthly meeting held at the Post hall on N. Lemon. Blonde-haired 6 ft. 2 in., 210 pounder, ex-Notre Dame end answered questions pertaining to the Rams, pro ball and the recent Canadian offers. He has been a member of the Rams for the past three seasons.
Zilly was a defensive and offensive end for Notre Dame in 1942-43 then he enrolled in the Naval ROTC program. He served in the Pacific area until returning to Notre Dame in 1946 at the age of 25. He called the crowning feat of that season the tie game with Army when they had Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis.
For the Rams Zilly plays mostly on defense as a result of his ruggedness, but on occasions moves into the game with the offensive squad as he did for three plays last season. The past season the Rams entered the playoffs for

This stuff was paid for by you in the beginning. In effect, you are merely living for a dead horse.
The sensible and logical way for the government to dispose of surplus war equipment would be through government-owned and controlled retail outlets throughout the country...but then this would be called government in competition with free enterprise and the people would have none of it, despite the fact that such a procedure a portion of the national debt could be reined. Under such a set-up the government could sell the surplus for at least 50% instead of less than 1% of the original cost.
A very good friend of mine (and I hope he doesn't read this) is a truck driver in Illinois in 1942. He came to California in 1943, kicked in defense plants until the war was over, then went into surplus. A shrewd swapper, he now has a $25,000 home, a 600 swimming pool, a 1951 Lincoln (and a 1951 Mercury for his wife) and is taking his ease up at Monrovia.
In one way you might call him a spectacular success. On the other hand, you might say that he was fortunate enough to mop up some property which belonged to you...and me.
All this, however, could lead to involved arguments. Tomorrow shall discuss Hollandaise sauce.
tained him as commander of the Army of the Potomac.
Lincoln Bided his Time
Continuing to thumb his nose at Washington, McClellan telegraphed Secretary of War Stanton on June 28: "If I save this army now I tell you plainly that I owe no thanks to you or any other person in Washington. You have done your best to sacrifice this army."
No ordinary subordinate would have dared insult the Secretary of War and get away with it. However, Lincoln took it—for the time being. Just as Truman for some time took MacArthur's many public statements going over the president's head on foreign policy.
However, in the summer of 1862, Lincoln abruptly relieved McClellan even of his command of the Army of the Potomac, only to reinstate him later in the same summer.
McClelland at that time was riding the crest of the wave, was deluged with mail not unlike MacArthur's today asking him to take over the government and save the nation. He did an excellent job of reorganizing Union Pacific area until returning to Noire Dame in 1940 at the age of 25.
He called the crowning feat of that season the tie game with Army when they had Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis.
For the Rams Zilly plays mostly on defense as a result of his ruggedness, but on occasions moves into the game with the offensive squad as he did for three plays last season. The past season the Rams entered the playoffs for the second straight year—this time against the Cleveland Browns who won the game in the last 45 seconds—30-28.
In recalling the outstanding plays of the season Zilly thought it would be the final game with the Chicago Bears in which the Rams won to gain the play-off game. The play he had in mind was where end Tom Fears took a pass from Waterfield and eluded six Bear tacklers enroute to the goal line which he crossed.
Some of the questions asked by the members follows with Jack Zilly's answers:
Q—What is the difference between college and pro ball?
A—There’s a tremendous difference. There is a higher caliber of personnel, paid to play, who regard the game as a business. They have had more experience as well.
Q—What is the Rams trouble with the Eagles?
A—I guess it's just a double whammy on the Rams. We haven't beaten them since 1941 and we won't get a chance for quite a while since they are off the schedule this next year.
Q—Is the new league set up better for all?
A—It is better for the spectators, but a sad condition for the players.
Q—What does the average lineman get in pay?
A—the average pay is $5000 a year for an average of three years of play.
Q—Will Bob Waterfield leave actress Jane Russell for Canadian Ball?
A—No! The league up there is considered amateur league. Waterfield can stay and capitalize upon his name.
Q—Why do pro players tend to
Fullerton junior college cludes its dual track and meet season and conference petition with a belated row at 3:15 on the Fullerton field will be slightites as a result of placing in the recent all-conference with 48 points while Chaffey ed up sixth with a mere 19 points.
It will serve as a tune to the Fresno Relays this week in which both teams are on Leading the Panthers with Richards in the mile; he second in the conference final third in the two mile. Barney mew in the 220 and 440; he in the 880; Rudy Valadez shot put and discus and Zinn man in the high jump.
For the Hornets will be Sommers in the hurdles; Ferguson in the broad jump vault and high jump; Dick mer, 440, javelin, high jump and lay and Roger Hendrix, confederate 440 yard champ. Hendrix has 440 under 50 seconds this year—the day he edges Santa Ana Don Bryton No.
Like MacArthur, McClellan differed with Lincoln in the war. Also, McClellan was criticized by Lincoln for being overlyious and refusing to take the side, whereas Truman's criticism of MacArthur is over his dissiveness.
McClellan, son of a famous son and grandson of a Revolutionary war general, graduated West Point second in his which compares with MacArthur's record average of 93.5. McClellan served as an observer Russian tactics during the war in 1855, while MacArthur, accompanied by his Lt. Gen. Arthur MacRur, was an observer of the Japanese war in 1905.
McClellan left the Army to be chief engineer of the Ohio National Guard jumping to the rank of brigadier general.
was in the summer of 1861 McClellan, barely past 30, given command of the dezed Union forces when regarding almost into Washington. Months later Lincoln, John and Secretary of State Sewalked to General McClellan house in Washington for a once and were snubbed by months passed, and as public became impatient with length of the war (as the pubtoday with the length of Korean war) Lincoln, in 1862, relieved McClellan amander-in-chief but re-However, in the summer of 1862, Lincoln abruptly relieved McClellan even of his command of the Army of the Potomac, only to reinstate him later in the same summer.
McClelland at that time was riding the crest of the wave, was deluged with mail not unlike MacArthur's today asking him to take over the government and save the nation. He did an excellent job of reorganizing Union forces, but rowed constantly with Washington over failure to get supplies, just as MacArthur demanded more reinforcements in Korea. After many protests McClellan, then at Harpers Ferry, refused to move until he got more supplies, and, to try to patch matters up, Lincoln took another long trip to visit him in the field. Later McClellan's constant nagging got on Lincoln's nerves.
McClellan's final dismissal also came late at night; just as did MacArthur's. His army had moved across the Potomac when, around midnight Nov. 7, 1862, a message arrived from Washington. McClellan opened the message and passed it to General Burnside with the comment: "Well, Burnside, you are to command the army."
Political Defeat
The war still had more than two years to go, and McClellan, reduced to civilian life, entered politics. In August 1864, he was unanimously nominated Democratic candidate for president which forced Lincoln, an astute politician, to overrule his party leaders and pick Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, as his vice-presidential running mate.
The Democrats, therefore, were confident of victory. However, Sherman's and Sheridan's victories in the South turned the tide, and McClellan got only 21 electoral votes against Lincoln's 212.
A—The average pay is $5000 a year for an average of three years of play.
Q—Will Bob Waterfield leave actress Jane Russell for Canadian Ball?
A—No! The league up there is considered amateur league. Waterfield can stay and capitalize upon his name.
Q—Why do pro players tend to tackle high instead of the sure and positive leg tackle?
A—the players don't practice tackling enough as the squad is throwing all its attention into passing. Linemen are usually very large and with the backs so fast and small they really don't have time to get set to make a clean tackle.
Q—Why are teams scoring more these past few years?
A—Ninety per cent of our plays are passing plays and as a result we get off many more plays than the team that runs more. We have been averaging one touchdown in every 14 plays and we average 85 plays per game.
Q—What was wrong with the Rams at the start of the season when they lost so many games?
A—they are a slow starting team and the local sportswriters were riding them pretty hard. They had a rookie coach who was trying to make good of which they eventually did.
Q—Is Glenn Davis a great player?
A—He started off slow, but progressed into a top player. He will probably have a better year this next season.
Q—How does Norm Van Brocklin compare to Bob Waterfield?
A—Waterfield is now at his peak. Van Brocklin is still going up, we hope Today Waterfield is better. He can punt, place kick,
play defensive half and know opponents better.
Q—Does the quarterback the plays?
A—On the Ram team he Coach Paul Brown of the Cland Browns calls his though.
Q—Is Otto Graham better Johnny Lujack?
A—Yes! Graham is a b passer.
Q—Is end Bob Boyd the face in the league?
A—With a football suit and relying the ball Boyd loses a lot his speed. Others are faster or football field.
Q—How do you Jack, acc most of the plays at your desive end position?
A—the secret is to anticiFreddie Naumetz and I work gether. We tip each other off who we are taking.

JC Swimmers To Hold Meet
Tomorrow afternoon the Fullerton JC swimming team leaves for San Luis Obispo for the first California Invitational junior college swimming championships.
In the past years the Hornet's have entered in the national championships, of which they won every year, but due to all California schools discontinuing participation in the so-called "nationals" the newly formed state championships will now serve as the top meet of the year.
Competition starts Thursday evening in the Cal Poly pool with the 1500 meters free style race. The following evening the regular program of six events plus added attractions commence. Saturday
PCL Producing Surprises as Teams Dig In
By The Associated Press
Six weeks of play in the Pacific Coast League have failed to uncover any team that looks like 'a likely pennant winner.' From Portland in first place by a game and one-half to Hollywood and San Diego, tied for sixth position, the clubs are closely bunched.
Even San Francisco, which lost its first 13 games, has been playing almost .500 ball since it took off that slump.
The surprise team as of today is Joe Gardner's Saratoga.
Includes information on club membership, house vision, hotel rentals, and more.
Favor Hornet In Track Meet
Fullerton junior college concludes its dual track and field meet season and conference competition with a belated battle with Chaffey's Panthers tomorrow at 3:15 on the Fullerton oval.
Fullerton will be slight favorites as a result of placing third in the recent all-conference finals with 48 points while Chaffey end up sixth with a mere 19 points. It will serve as a tune up for the Fresno Relays this week end which both teams are entered leading the Panthers will be chards in the mile; he placed second in the conference final and third in the two mile. Bartholow in the 220 and 440; Kough in the 880; Rudy Valadez in the put and discus and Zimmer in the high jump.
For the Hornets will be Daveimmers in the hurdles; Boberguson in the broad jump, pole vault and high jump; Dick Ham, 440, javelin, high jump and rebound Roger Hendrix, conference yard champ. Hendrix has run 440 under 50 seconds once year—the day he edged exta Ana Don Bryton Norton.
Championships, of which they won every year, but due to all California schools discontinuing participation in the so-called "nationals" the newly formed state championships will now serve as the top meet of the year.
Competition starts Thursday evening in the Cal Poly pool with the 1500 meters free style race. The following evening the regular program of six events plus added attractions commence. Saturday evening the remaining seven events will be run off or rather swam off.
Last week coach Jimmy Smith captured his 119th championship when his Hornet swim team dunked all opposition in swimming off with their 13th Southern California swim title at Long Beach. Scores were Fullerton, 166; Bakersfield, 49; Santa Monica, 27; El Camino, 24; Muir, 20; LACC, 16; Pasadena, 10; Orange Coast, 9; Compton, 9; East LA, 7 and Mt. San Antonio, 6.
Fullerton captured 13 out of the 14 events—setting three national and seven Southern California records. The only non-Fullerton winner was speedy Don Rosenthal of Santa Monica, who won the 100 yard free style in 53.0s.—a new meet record.
High point honors went to Hornet freestyleer, Roy Brown. Brown captured the 1500 meters free; the 50 yard free style in 24.3s. and the 150 yard individual medley in 1:38.1s.—a new national and meet record.
Double winners were Bob Best, Bernie Wagner and Joe Phillips. Best won the 200 yard breast stroke in record time plus swimming the 100 yard breaststroke in 1:03.0s. for a national and meet record. Best placed second in the individual medley. Wagner won the 200 yard backstroke in 2:24.7s. for a national and meet record; the 100 yard backstroke in 1:05.0s. and started the victorious medley relay.
Phillips won the 220 yard freestyle in 2:15.4s.—his fastest of the year; the 440 yard free style in 4:58.5s.—both times being new Southern California records. Phillips also anchored the winning four man relay.
The diving event produced two champs—Bill Patrick in the high to uncover any team that looks like 'a likely pennant winner. From Portland in first place by a game and one-half to Hollywood and San Diego, tied for sixth position, the clubs are closely bunched.
Even San Francisco, which lost its first 13 games, has been playing almost .500 ball since it took off that slump.
The surprise team as of today is Joe Gordon's Sacramento Soilons. Gordon, a great second baseman with the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians, has Sacramento really hustling—and Joe, himself, is showing the way for his men. He is second in hitting, with a mark of .367, being surpassed only by Los Angeles' Les Layton, who had .373: Gordon is tied with Max West of Los Angeles for the home run lead with 13 and tops the league in runs batted in with 39.
The Sacs are knocking the cover off the baseball. They have seven men in the .300 class—Gordon, Bill Boyd, Ralph Hodgin, Leo Righetti, Jerry Scala, Joe Marty, and Ken Keltner. Last year, Sacramento finished dead last, beaten 37 games, and it had such stars as Max Surkont, now a standout pitcher with the Boston Braves; Jim Busby-hitting at a fine clip for the Chicago White Sox and Steve Souchek, up with Detroit.
