THEODORE E. KUCHEL MAX BESLER LEONARD KREIDT NEIL STANLEY G. E. NELLEN MARY ROULAND RALPH ROULAND LUDY HUBBARD Some don't shoot... The Army wonders why all its soldiers don't shoot their weapons in battle. Although in Korea American forces have a potential "fire power" far beyond that of any previous conflict, the mystery of the non-shooting soldier still persists—as it has in two world wars. Some experts, among them Col. S. L. A. Marshall, retired Army officer and military writer, claim that in a fire-fight no more than one out of four men uses the rifle, automatic weapon or grenades he may be carrying. The Army said it doesn't know the exact percentage or the exact reasons, but that: "It is known that a significant number of infantrymen when actually engaged in combat fail to employ their individual weapons when observed and vulnerable targets (that is something you been advanced, they did list some of them, including: 1. Paralysis of Fear. 2. Lack of confidence in the weapon. 3. Hoarding of ammunition. 4. Lack of confidence in one's own skill in using the weapon. 5. Lack of motivation or the will to fight and kill a specific enemy soldier, rather than the anonymous "enemy"—a failure to realize it is a matter of kill or be killed. 6. Fear of provoking the enemy to direct, immediate retaliation—a desire to keep the front "all quiet." 7. Apprehension about disclosing one's presence or the location of a friendly position-by opening fire. 8. A distorted notion of sportsmanship. 9. Just ordinary indolence." This is indeed a power which ever would hesitate to try to protect British-controlled A.A.F., the British-controlled A.A.F. The offended party cacy by threatening to infect British lives and double-talk to describe scribed areas of a foreign trouble on the face of or to heal: 1. The Iranian revolt the scheming Russians. 2. The people of the that they have immense like to use for their own. 3. The British haven. Any of these supposed causes by a combination would yelp if a foreign source. If it is a fight between oll, let us pray that B final showdown. Modern war is wage the lion's share will win on mad now, so . . . here we. In the conflict which two remaining great won a lot of little nations will Iran is just one of them meat grinder. In another war, it is victor. Certainly no one. SOMETIMES I WON UPON His charges and seize the lowest form of anim and actuated purely by He created in His images only to have them offer IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A bit of excitement was created Monday evening by the information that a large bundle of papers saturated with coal oil had been found partly burned in one of the closets of the Planter's hotel. It was thought to be the work of an incendiary. Several parffies from Los Angeles are visiting the Hot Springs of San Juan Capistrano, Mr. and Mrs. T. Larkin of the Hygiean Home are also camping at that favorite resort. The Anti-Chinese club of Los Angeles now numbers 70 persons. All proposals for the building of the new Episcopal church must be handed to Mr. Olden before the 28th of this month. Mr. Chalmers W. Scott and Mrs. 6. Fear of provoking the enemy to direct, immediate retaliation—a desire to keep the front "all quiet." 7. Apprehension about disclosing one's presence or the location of a friendly position-by opening fire. 8. A distorted motion of sportsmanship. 9. Just ordinary indolence. The Army says there are other more obvious factors that account for some of the men who don't shoot their guns. It often happens that the terrain of a battlefield or the position of a rifleman prevent him from seeing a target or from shooting at it if he does see it—for instance, if friendly troops are in the line of fire. Moreover, while men in an infantry outfit may be issued rifles or grenades, their real jobs may be non-shooting—to operate field telephones or radio sets or cook for the company. WASHINGTON—The public has shown its all take the bad news along good and therefore has to know about our worst of the Korean war. So facts have not been released on the Pentagon. Las month, however, Superfortresses, escorted fighters, bombed the international bridge connecting Jiu, North Korea, with Manchuria. The B-29s were going so close to the Manchestrian border that one side was posed and approximately Russian MIG-15 jet fight them from the exposed churian side, breaking formation. Two B-29s were shot third was listed as missile was seen crashing into Seven of the big Superfortress had to crash-land in South while one more was badly aged but made it back to base. Despite this disastrous bridge wasn't even hit, mission was a complete... Home are also camping at that favorite resort. The Anti-Chinese club of Los Angeles now numbers 70 persons. All proposals for the building of the new Episcopal church must be handed to Mr. Olden before the 28th of this month. Mr. Chalmers W. Scott and Mrs. Col. Coutts of San Luis Rey, were among the passengers by stage yesterday. A company has been formed to plant a 200-acre fruit orchard at Pomona. The capital stock is $40,000 divided into forty shares of $100 each. Messrs. Menzel and Zeyn propose to take a trip to the warm springs next week. Mr. Menzel is suffering from consumption. E. W. Champlin arrived on the train last evening. He has been in San Francisco, in attendance upon the Grand Lodge of IOOF. Mr. John Bush brought a young coyote into town yesterday and presented it to the deputy sheriff. He captured it on his ranch in Upper Santa Ana. It will be added to Kirby's Menagerie. The boys were having a grand time last evening with the donkeys bought at the sheriff's sale. John Westphal has purchased one of these elegant saddle animals to make his trips to Cucamonga. The Madame said she intends to return to California to live, but her stage plans are indefinite and will be until September. A recently published story that she will sell her home at Arden, in the Santiago canyon is untrue. Harris & Falkenstein are preparing for quite an event in their store for the next two weeks. The event will particularly interest children and school teachers, and will prove a splendid demonstration of the artistic abilities of our youngsters. Can your boy of girl draw a funny picture of a black cat? Let them try, and take the drawing to this popular store. They are giving prizes for the best drawings. 25 Years Ago John Pfeninger made a trip into Riverside county on Sunday, going as far as Indio. He paid a visit to Palm Springs where he viewed with much interest the famous Palm Canyon. Deputy County Clerk Earl Abbey was in town yesterday shaking hands with many friends. He says there are no bees buzzing around the court house, the open season having not yet arrived. Helen Harden, president of the Anaheim Business and Professional Women's club who will be hostess to the seventh annual convention of the Southern District clubs to be held in Anaheim June 12 and 13, announces that Saturday's luncheon will be a club Two B-29s were shot third was listed as missive was seen crashing into Seven of the big Superfo had to crash land in South while one more was badly aged but made it back to base.

However, a few important facts, not them published, which she weighed in arriving at stons: General MacArthur met four points in the now-Jan. 12 memo from the presidents affair. Forty Southern clubs will send presidents. The Saturday eon will be in charge of Carlson and Alvina Swar Anaheim. Deputy sheriff French town the first of the w official business. OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER THIS IS INDEED a peculiar world. Not long ago Great Britain was a power which even the big nations—let alone the smaller ones—would hesitate to try to push around. Now, little Iran tells the one-time ruler of the waves to get out, and threatens to nationalize the British-controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil company. The offended party reacts with typical British diplomatic delicacy by threatening to drop a 4,000-man parachute brigade "to protect British lives and property if necessary." That is high-level double-talk to describe the imposition of military control over prescribed areas of a foreign country. Several conclusions may be drawn from this new outbreak of trouble on the face of old Mother Earth whose wounds never seem to heal: 1. The Iranian revolt against British oil interests is instigated by the scheming Russians. 2. The people of the country have finally wised up to the fact that they have immense wealth in their own land which they would like to use for their own interests. 3. The British haven't given the Iranians a square deal in oil. Any of these suppositions could be true, and the trouble may be caused by a combination of the three. Consider how we in the U.S. would yelp if a foreign power had control of some of our vital resources. If it is a fight between Russia and Britain over who gets the oil, let us pray that Britain wins out, for it will be ours in the final showdown. Modern war is waged with petroleum, and the antagonist with the lion's share will win out in the end. I am beginning to get a little mad now, so . . . here we go again... In the conflict which seems to be shaping up between the only two remaining great world powers (militarily speaking, of course) a lot of little nations will be tromped on even before a shot is fired. Iran is just one of them. Korea has already been run through the meat grinder. In another war, it is impossible to see how anyone could be the victor. Certainly no one was victorious in the last one. SOMETIMES I WONDER if the good Lord does not look down upon His charges and see them as a loathsome, squirming mass of the lowest form of animal life, motivated by greed, hate, jealousy, and actuated purely by the basic instinct to live . . . animals which He created in His image and blessed with the powers of reasoning only to have them offer their gratitude by fighting and rending and killing each other wild. Big Inning, Good Pitching Hits Ritz and Grace Lutheran to In the first game last night in the City League, Ritz Cleaners emerged victorious over Cypress VFW on the basis of a big first innings in which they pushed across eight runs on six hits and three bases on balls. From there on Norman Bradbury settled down and allowed only four hits and two runs in the remaining five innings. Ed Bielefeld started for Ritz and went two innings and allowed two hits and two runs. Bud Cram then took over and allowed three hits and one run in the remaining five innings. Lee Knoeller, Sam Morales and Roy Pina all had two for three to contribute to the victory. Ed Bielefeld had one for one. Cypress VFW—AB N H Slaght, c Rogers, cf John, cf R. Locker, 2b Allman, if Jeffries, if H.

Perhaps the Lord will one day lose patience and wipe us all off the face of this abused globe. Perhaps He will do away with this pitiful sphere in a flash of light and clap of thunder that, by comparison, would make our vaunted atomic bomb explosions look like popping soap bubbles. Saurians, crawling in the muck of another pre-ice age would show as much intelligence as we poor humans do right today in the science of getting along together as nations. Consider the fact that man is the only animal which organizes into gangs to go forth systematically to kill other gangs and you can readily see why there should be wrath in the Heavens. O Lord, we have made a mess of it. Give it back to the quadruplets. Amen. WASHINGTON—The American public has shown its ability to take the bad news along with the good and therefore has a right to know about our worst disaster of the Korean war. So far the facts have not been released at the Pentagon. Las month, however, 40 B-29 Superfortresses, escorted by jet fighters, bombed the international bridge connecting Sinwei, North Korea, with Antimig, Manchuria. The B-29s were hugging so close to the Manchurian border that one side was exposed and approximately 100 Russian MIG-15 jet fighters hit them from the exposed Manchurian side, breaking up the formation. Two B-29s were shot down, a third was listed as missing but was seen crashing into the sea. Seven of the big Superfortresses had to crash land in South Korea, while one more was badly damaged but made it back to the home base. Despite this disastrous toll, the bridge wasn't even hit, and the mission was a complete failure. Chiefs of Staff. Actually, there were 16 points in this memo, and it was perhaps natural that he should mention only the points which best supported his case. Of the 12 other points, many were technical, but several significant. One point that hasn't been published was a proposal by Washington to use anti-communist Chinese guerrillas on the Chinese mainland and the "silver bullet" policy. The latter refers to the time-honored custom of buying off Chinese general with silver. Another important unpublished point was the Joint Chiefs of Staff advice to stabilize the Korean line if possible, and if not, evacuate Korea altogether. Evacuation, however, was vigorously opposed by MacArthur, his chief objection being that it would appear to be a military defeat. It is understandable that he didn't want to finish his career with a military defeat, but it is also interesting that he and Secretary of State Acheson heartily concurred in opposing any withdrawal from Korea. Their reasons, however, were different. Acheson felt that if it was finally necessary to withdraw, the withdrawal should be In the second game, Grace Lutheran bested Lehrs Trucking on the basis of the pitching of Art Altheide, who gave up but two hits and one run. John Vuksonovich allowed seven hits in six innings and Dick Morley in one inning gave up no hits. Paul Altheide aided his brother with two for four, one a triple and the other a double. Grace Lutheran won the game in the fourth on four hits and four runs, which was more than enough to win. Dick Morley singled in John Vuksonovich who had walked and gained second and third on pass balls. Grade Lutheran — ABHR Michele ss Martler ss 26 Gelger, 1b P.

Page, the fabulous "Fireman Joe" of 1947 and 1949 New York Yankee champions, at least has a job and a salary in the $25,000 bracket. He goes to Kansas City to work out the kinks in his arm. Jack Kramer, another big name of the past in the American League, was given his unconditional release by the New York Giants. The 33-year-old right-hander is free to make his own connection. Two B-29s were shot down, a third was listed as missing but was seen crashing into the sea. Seven of the big Superfortress had to crash land in South Korea, while one more was badly damaged but made it back to the home base. Despite this disastrous toll, the bridge wasn't even hit, and the mission was a complete failure. On the other hand, most of our bombing missions have been far more successful and the Air Force on the whole has done an amazing job. When our planes get close to the Manchurian border and Russian planes, however, the hazards increase. MacArthur Controversy So many thousands of words of testimony have been published regarding the MacArthur dispute, that it is difficult to keep the record straight. However, here are few important facts, not all of them published, which should be reighed in arriving at conclusions: General MacArthur mentioned four points in the now-famous Jan. 12 memo from the Joint residents affair. Forty-three southern clubs will send their presidents. The Saturday lunch-on will be in charge of Rose Harrison and Alvina Swanson of unheim. Deputy sheriff French was in town the first of the week on official business. Their reasons, however, were different. Acheson felt that if it was finally necessary to withdraw, the withdrawal should be acknowledged as a military defeat. We should tell the world that we had done the best we could to block aggression, he argued, but were outnumbered. There was nothing dishonorable, he felt, in military defeat as long as we had done our best. General MacArthur, on the other hand, believed that if we had to withdraw from Korea it should be labeled as a political decision by the U.N., rather than one forced by military necessity. Fortunately, Chief of Staff Collins flew to Korea shortly thereafter and decided that the U.N. could hold. Now—Doors Open 6:45 p.m. 2 MILARIOUS HITS!

Cook's Tennis Team Showing Champion Play BY STAN JONES Hopes were running high for a third straight Sunset league tennis championship for Anaheim highs netters as they head down the final 1951 stretch with only three league matches to go. The Blue and Gold tennis enthusiasts have played seven straight league games without a setback and combined with their practice win-loss record of 4-4 possess one of the better records in the Southland. After going through the first round of league competition undefeated, the Colonists were selected to represent the league in AUHS Ball Team Plays At Harbor Tomorrow afternoon John Wallen takes his high school baseball squad to Newport Harbor to battle the Sailors in their seventh league game of the year. Anaheim and Newport are tied for fourth and fifth place in the league standings and it should be a tough fight as both will be fighting for a third place tie with Orange who goes against powerful Fullerton. In the other league game Huntington Beach journeys to meet league leading Santa Ana. In their first game the Tars won 3-1 while the Colonists were kicking the ball around for six errors. Both teams collected seven hits and since the Blue and Gold aren't erroring as much as before, the game could be different. Dick Ramhella pitched the first game against Bill Mashburn, but Val Weithorn will probably go tomorrow. His toughest batters will be Dick Lane, shortstop, Lewis Abbott, center fielder; George LaBono, left fielder and catcher Bill Burdick. Countering for the local nine will be hard-hitting Carl Hattfield, batting 444; George Bishop, third sacker at 307 and Kenny Coen 307. But after these three there's a large drop off: Next in line is Jim Hove, 233; Enoch Peterson, 200; Gayle Herbel, 200 and Ed Herrera, 136. Last week Wallen shifted his lineup with what later proved to be good results. Sacs Lone Occupant of PCL Lead By The Associated Press For the first time since April 9, the Pacific Coast league has a brand new leader today, the Sacramento Solons. Sacramento, the circuit's customary and reliable second division tenant, has been elbowing its way toward the front this season like a subway commuter. The Sacs finally made it last night by way of a 4-2 triumph over Portland. The hero of the piece was outfielder Joe Marty, who managed the club briefly last semester when it finished last. Mr. Marty's three run homer in the eighth inning decided the issue and dropped Portland into second place. Marty's masterpiece came after Portland pitcher Marine Pieretti had purposefully waited Joe Gordon, Sacramento's inspiring manager and league leader in home runs and RBI's. Wednesday night's hostilities marked another minor shakeup in the scheme of things, too. Seattle took over third place by edging San Diego, 9-3; Los Angeles dropped to fourth in a 10-inning, 7-5 beating from San Francisco. San Francisco's triumph over (Continued on Page 6) steady Ed Herrera went to seventh spot. It will be the same tomorrow. SUNSET LEAGUE STANDINGS The Blue and Gold tennis enthusiasts have played seven straight league games without a setback and combined with their practice win-loss record of 4-4 possess one of the better records in the Southland. After going through the first round of league competition undefeated, the Colonists were selected to represent the league in the CIF playoffs where they fell in the first round to a powerful La Jolla squad. They came back to roll up two more league victories with their eyes on their sixth league tennis crown. They travel to Newport Harbor tomorrow afternoon then host Santa Ana Tuesday in what should prove the deciding match for the league crown. In the first round, Coach Bill Cook's lads downed the Sailors 7-2 and the Saints 6-3. Backbone of the squad stems from the powerful doubles team of Captain Danny Holden and Don Eberhard. These two were recently selected to represent the league in the coming CIF Individual championships to be held May 26 at Lakewood courts in Long Beach. The other doubles team consists of Bob Santibanez and Bob Hoskins. All four are seniors. However, the situation for next season doesn't look blue as a result of Cook's powerful singles squad of this year. On the team are Ronnie Legg, (soph.), Paul Billo (jr.), Johnny Hester (jr.), Phil Wright (soph.), Deter Hessel (jr.), and David Jordt (sr.). All are entered in the Sunset League Individual championships at Santa Ana, June 2. Added strength will come from the JV's where Floyd Baker and Dlek Hansen are burning up the courts with their hard-hit, well-placed serves. The junior varsity has compiled a remarkable record this season and they're still going. CINA-CAR DRIVE IN THEATRE 6612 Lincoln Ave. Out Center, 5 Mi.
