Unsteady employment... Thousands of workers are on notice today that the defense production program is becoming grimly serious. One-third of the steel that used to go into cars; refrigerators and washing machines will be swallowed up this summer by defense orders. Arms production will cat up an even greater percentage of copper and aluminum. Workers in industries using metals for civilian goods are wondering today if the recent sharp cut-back in metals for civilian goods by July means a lay-off for them. Henry Ford II already has said that's what it means for 10,000 of his employees. By summer the shake-up in employment may be widespread, if the Ford announcement is published afternoons, Monday through Friday, at 259 East Center, Anaheim, California. Phone Anaheim 2206.

MELLER MARY ROULAND RALCH ROULAND LUCY HUBBARD Publisher Assistant Publisher Assistant Editor Advertising Manager Advertising Manager Classified Advertising Manager Circulation Manager Companies with defense orders are re-tooling, where necessary, and in some industries that means lay-offs until the jobs actually get under way. But other thousands of workers, of course, will find their own jobs more secure as the government money rolls into defense production. The oil industry learned yesterday that even more steel than last year is to be allowed it for drilling wells, piping petroleum, building refineries. That can mean more jobs, more over-time pay, longer job-expectancy. In time, defense plants can build up a booming labor market in some areas, and more women will be leaving the kitchen for the factory, like last time. WASHINGTON — A thirty a.m. the other day which is early for most citizens on a Sunday morning picked up his pen and dotted one of those famous perennials which have revived around the world. This day to price boss Mike Di Santo. Eleven blocks away, he was busily wading through the mountain of correspondence his desk, trying to get so out of the way before a nine o'clock mass. Just Salle was leaving his office telephone rang. The White was calling. "Please stand by, Mr. D," the operator said. "A man is bringing you a letter President Truman." Mike put the phone down began to ponder. What done wrong. What might aroused the lure of the president? Or was it that the dent was accepting his nation? A few minutes later they arrived. Now in something sweat, Mike tore it open was a very short note written the president's own hand. White House stationery. Dear Mike, "I have just read today York Times' story about grand sense of humor. It a lift." Since I've been in Washington... Workers in industries using metals for civilian goods are wondering today if the recent sharp cut-back in metals for civilian goods by July means a lay-off for them. Henry Ford II already has said that's what it means for 10,000 of his employees. By summer the shake-up in employment may be widespread; if the Ford announcement is the first in a trend. The impact on the economy may be sharper than many have realized. NPA is ordering steel producers to set aside in July sharply increased percentages of steel products for the use of companies with defense orders. For example, 95 per cent of wheels and axles are to be set aside for manufacturers working on defense orders. And 68 per cent of heavy structural steel shapes must go to the defense program, and 80 per cent of IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A German who recently purchased a tract of land near Tustin City, had shipped from Chicago everything he thought needed for several years. A few days ago the whole shipment was lost in a railway accident while in transit. Mrs. Metz left for the Centennial yesterday. She will probably visit Europe also before returning home. Among the arrivals booked on the register of the Anaheim Hotel last night we find the name of Mr. Hans Honsawarrgeldersplitzensieglemann. He halls from Holstein. Some of the old citizens of Anaheim are intending to get up a general picnic at Santiago on Sunday next. It will be one of those good old times, such as we used to hold at that place fifteen years ago. 50 Years Ago The GAR and the Ladies Relief Corps of Fullerton will observe Decoration Day at the Anaheim Cemetery. All old soldiers and ex-Confederates, together with their families, also all school children who can, and will, are invited to be present at the Cemetery promptly at 11 a.m., at which time the graves will be decorated. Those who can do so are requested to bring their lunches and remain for the afternoon exercises and get acquainted. At 1 o'clock the bugle will sound the assembly and an appropriate program will be rendered. Hon. O. Z. Hublell will deliver the oration, which will be worth hearing. Gen. Ed McCook, one of the famous lighting McCooks, will be present and deliver an address, Company E will participate in the ceremonies during the afternoon. It will march from the armory to the cemetery and take part in the exercises. A few minutes later they arrived. Now in something sweat, Mike tore it open was a very short note with the president's own hand White House stationery. "Dear Mike, I have just read today York Times' story about grand sense of humor. It gave a lift. Since I've been in Walt Disney I've seen many stuffed shirts your wise-cracks about Walt life remind me of used to use a trocar on an ed bull.

Di Salle, a city boy and mayor of Toledo, Ohio, rushes a dictionary to look up the "trocar." A trocar, he discovers is a surgical spear son used to release gas pressured cattle.

MacArthur has already the register of the Anaheim Hotel Just night we find the name of Mr. Hans Honswarrgeldersplitzensleglemann. He halls from Holstein. Some of the old citizens of Anaheim are intending to get up a general picnic at Santiago on Sunday next. It will be one of those good old times, such as we used to hold at that place fifteen years ago. Some person took the liberty of smashing the water gate in Mr. Luedke's ditch on Sunday evening. The work seems to have been done with an axe. The headers and threshers commenced operations on Judge Evey's farm at Fairview yesterday. Some unknown parties have been borrowing chickens from Mr. Gus Davis' yard. Doubtless they intend returning them when the chicken crop gets good, but Mr. Davis is rather dubious about it. A correspondent of the Gazette at Gospel Swamp writes that Mr. Gates has a well 64 feet deep, which flows 14½ inches by the square. Also, John Campbell has a well 98 feet deep, which affords plenty of water for house and stock. He found a log of wood at the bottom. The settlers are still on government land, and are still in good spirits. Mr. Mitchell called us in yesterday to inspect a job of painting just turned out by Mr. J. H. Gooch. We think Anaheim has no reason to be ashamed of its carriage painter. Miss Laura Gade, daughter of H. C. Gade, is attending normal school in Los Angeles and five days ago penned a sketch, "The Story of a Pin." When Professor Pierce read it, he pronounced it one of the cleverest compositions that had come under his observation in a long time. 25 Years Ago Savings, Loan and Building Association Asks Permission To Increase Its Capital to $4,000,000. Owing to increased demand for loans by prospective home builders, the Savings, Loan and Building Association of Anaheim has applied to state authorities for permission to double its capital or to issue 40,000 shares of a par value of $4,000,000. In 1922 the company increased its capital from one to two million dollars, and it was thought at that time that many years would elapse before another increase would be necessary. In the year 1889, a small group of men started the association and it was capitalized at 500 shares. These shares lasted until June 1920 (31 years), when the shares were increased to 10,000. In 1922 it was again necessary to increase the shares to what at that time seemed an enormous figure, namely from that time to the present (May, 1926), the association grown from a half million cization to one and one-o-million dollars, and are now ing the Secretary of State increase the shares to 40,000. The Savings, Loan and Building Association received its order on January 8, 1889, its stock being fixed at $5 There were 27 stockholders; the company was organized a check of the list shows than one-fourth are now The first board of directors consisted of eleven men, as for Frank Ey, Charles Schlou Louis Luckel, H. A. Dicke seph Helmsen, E. J. Pelleg Littlefield, Ferdinand B John P. Zeyn, A. Thomas, a Goldthwait. The first pre was Frank Ey. From this beginning, with only 27 holders, the company has extended until now there are more 70 on the rolls. Secretary states that the company had a foreclosure suit in 30 F. A. Backs Jr. has been tary of the association for years. E. E. Brus is ass secretary and Charles F. G now the president. WASHINGTON — At eight-thirty a.m., the other Sunday—which is early for most Washingtonians on a Sunday morning—President Truman finished reading New York's Sunday Times, picked up his pen and dashed off one of those famous personal letters which have reverberated around the world. This one went to price boss Mike Di Salle. Eleven blocks away, Di Salle was busily wading through a mountain of correspondence on his desk, trying to get some work out of the way before attending nine o'clock mass. Just as Di Salle was leaving his office the telephone rang. The White House was calling. "Please stand by, Mr. Di Salle," the operator said. "A messenger is bringing you a letter from President Truman." Mike put the phone down and began to ponder. What had he done wrong. What might have aroused the ire of the president? Or was it that the president was accepting his resignation? A few minutes later the letter arrived. Now in something of a sweat, Mike tore it open. Inside was a very short note written in the president's own hand and oh White House stationery. It read: "Dear Mike, "I have just read today's New York Times' story about your grand sense of humor. It gave me a lift. Since I've been in Washington..." A few minutes later the letter arrived. Now in something of a sweat, Mike tore it open. Inside was a very short note written in the president's own hand and on White House stationery. It read: "Dear Mike, "I have just read today's New York Times' story about your grand sense of humor. It gave me a lift. Since I've been in Washington I've seen many stuffed shirts, and your wise-cracks about Washington life remind me of how we used to use a trocar on a clovered bull. There's a loud explosion and the bull resumes his normal shape and usually recovers. Keep sticking 'em. "Regards, "Harry S. Truman" Di Salle, a city boy and former mayor of Toleda, Ohio, rushed to a dictionary to look up the word trocar. A trocar, he discovered is a surgical spear sometimes used to release gas pressure in floated cattle. By "clovered," the president doubtless referred to a bull which had become bloated from eating too much clover. Note—What inspired the president's letter was a New York Times summary of Di Salle's wisecracks, some of them previously published in this column. Here are a few samples: when the president appointed Di Salle as vice stabilizer, he said he wanted man with plenty of guts. "You have him here," replied the rookie Di Salle, slapping his bay window. "My appointment has unanimous approval of everyone in Toledo," the ex-mayor said in arriving in Washington. "Half of them were happy to see me move up, and the other half were happy to see me move out of town." A man applied for the job of postmaster and was reminded that he could not read, according to Di Salle, he replied: I don't want to be assistant postmaster. I want to be postmaster." Republican Drive in Texas It is supposed to be a top political secret, but Gov strategists can use General MacArthur in the campaign to knock veteran Tom Connally of Texas out of the Senate. MacArthur has already indicated that he will make a "nonpolitical" speaking tour of Texas. And the Republicans expect to make political capital out of MacArthur's speeches to stampede Texas voters away from Texas Tom. The inside fact is that the McCarthy wing of the Republican party has singled out Connally as their No. 1 Senatorial target for 1952. They propose to hang Connally's political scalp alongside that of veteran ex-Senator Tydings of Maryland, thus set a record of having defeated the chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee, Tydings; and the chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, Connally. The campaign against Connally will follow the same pattern the McCarthyites used against Tydings. They will try to paint the gruff, outspoken Texan as a communist appeaser and disciple of Secretary Acheson. They have already coined the slogan which is cropping up in Texas: "When Acheson coughs, Connally sneezes." The truth is, Connally has always opposed communism with all his Texas irreleast the fight to halt the creeping communism in Greece, in Western Europe, in Korea. At the same time, Connally has supported Acheson on most issues and even brought Acheson to Texas and courageously introduced him to a Texas audience. As a result, the GOP strategy is to use Acheson's unpopularity to undermine a courageous Senator. All of this means that Connally is facing a fight for his political life, his first real opposition since 1928. Though a tough scrapper, the veteran Texan is still perplexed as to how to fight back against a McCarthy campaign. To borrow a phrase from Composer Itchard Rogers "It's a Grand Night for Singing" — for singing the praises of the music department of Anaheim Union High School. And it was truly a "grand night" Friday last when in the school auditorium there unfolded an amazing array of talent and training under the guidance of Miss Gania Demaree and Mr. William Cook. With a program ranging from the purest classical to the swingiest jive the performers received appreciative respect and genuinely spontaneous applause from a near capacity audience. And since "the first shall be first" it was most fitting that Miss Demaree presented the cappella choir as the initial offering, for this indeed was choral singing of the first. It must be most gratifying for a director to have such a group with which to work and Miss Demaree has accorded her young singers the dual honor of choosing for them an inspiring and exacting repertoire, then training them to execute with meticulous care and magnificence. At this point I hasten to say, regretfully that time and space will not allow comment on each individual number, but the works were programmed in such an interesting sequence that all were enhanced by their placing. From the clean classicism of Mozart to the romantic modernism of Gustav-Holst and Biresak the capella and Mozart choirs proved to be deft and responsive interpreters. Because it is impossible to speak of the two numbers mentioned above without recalling the fullest and that she will self successfully meeting mands of a realized carousel. Although the near precision of the a capella Mozart choirs was not the Boys' and Girls' Gave excellent accounts to themselves and their obvious projected a very effective for the audience. Course, are many candidates future Mozart and a groups. Chosen for sooo applining during the evening were Miller, soprano, singing lyrics "The Waltze Song" from nods "Rurheo and Jullien" looking quite ravishing deporting herself with poise and charm; Dian playing the difficult piano in E Major" by Chopin greatest case; Phillip violinist, displaying his adored brilliancy in the diabolo mands of the Sarasate "Z wiesen;" (he was accustomably by Peggy Koger); Delores Giardino lovely voice soared through "Il Bacio" by Marilyn Schimmling at Coweee collaborated in technical display "Rush Hong Kong"; which Abrams insisted for two pianos. Miss Schimmming also panied the a capella choir Marlene Stewart and Anderson shared account honors for the Girls' Glee Club. A glance at the clever tilt at tantalizing rhythm from Mr. Cook's Swing orchestra pit and "Revolt in Rhythm" was boarded. The audience whispered... Republican Drive in Texas It is supposed to be a top political secret, but GOP strategists can use General MacArthur in the campaign to knock veteran from Connally of Texas out of the Senate. MacArthur has already indicated to top Republicans that he A formidous figure, namely 20,000, from that time to the present May, 1926), the association has grown from a half million organization to one and one-quarter billion dollars, and are now asking the Secretary of State to increase the shares to 40,000. The Savings, Loan and Building Association received its charter on January 8, 1889, its capital stock being fixed at $500,000. There were 27 stockholders when the company was organized and check of the list shows that less than one-fourth are now living. The first board of directors consisted of eleven men, as follows: Frank Ey, Charles Schindler, Paul Luckel, H. A. Dickel, Josh Helmsen, E. J. Pellegrin, S. Bettlefield, Ferdinand Backs, John P. Zeyn, A. Thomas, and A. Oldthwait. The first president was Frank Ey. From this small beginning, with only 27 stockholders, the company has expanded until now there are more than on the rolls. Secretary Backs states that the company has not had a foreclosure suit in 30 years. A. Backs Jr. has been secretary of the association for 27 years. E. E. Brus is assistant secretary and Charles F. Grim is now the president. Anti-Acheson Trap An absent-minded sir by GOP Sen. Alex Wiley of Wisconsin bailed up a secret Republican plan to put Secretary of State Dean Acheson in jail. The strategy was worked out by crafty Sen. Owen Brewster of Maine, and given the blessing of a GOP Senate policy meeting. The scheme was to wait until Secretary Acheson appeared before the Joint Armed Services Foreign Relations committee's probe of the MacArthur luring-Then Republicans planned to ask him to relate his conversation with President Truman on April 6, the date the president first discussed the possibility of firing General MacArthur. Brewster figured that Secretetary Acheson would then refuse to answer; following which a key Republican would ask that Acheson be cited for contempt of Congress and press for an immediate record vote by the committee. If the vote to cite the Secretary failed, Republicans would walk out of the hearings in a dramatic gesture. But Wiley, who is more famous for his lonely jokes than his political skill, forced the issue too soon. He demanded that Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, be made to discuss his April 6 conversation with the president. This was not at all what Brewster had planned because Bradley is personally popular and the Senate was not likely to cite him. Miss Schlimming also panied the cappella choir Marlene Stewart and Anderson shared accounts honors for the Girls' Glee Club. A glance at the clever piano a tantalizing rhythm from Mr. Cook's Swing band. The audience who been most gracious and receiving the "classical" was now ready to swing into a zany and humorous coction of music and sit-ups. Jack Conklin and Mr. Duncan with all the Mozz members in close attire dreamed up a most enticing method of displaying numbers and talent with a lot of story and much humor galery. Set in the recreation of a music school the story with attempts of the stunt raise money for additions pairs. They secretly continue rehearse a musical review has been forbidden by the head and his board of directors. A happy solution finds no satisfaction at the curtain.

Despite hectic and busy school activities, these timelessians contrived a very showcase for their talents, and with Miss Duncan and Mr. Cook somehow managed enough rehearsals to perform performance with few slips at a most entertaining pace.

The Aly Khan, a bigger goof than was suspected at the outset of this brazen stratagem, allows a letter to be published wherein he vows he still loves the conniving redhead—and that she will always remain in his heart. Remain in his pocketbook she will, but in his heart, never. Never in the history of amour has the male animal been more adroitly plundered. Things like this are right up the Hollywood queen's Aly. She never even told the guy she was planning to sluff him off. He read it in the newspapers. Offhand, I would say that $3,000,000, even in these inflationary times, is a pretty hefty price for a buggy ride, especially for a potentate who has long since become used to riding on palanquins, howdalis, gondolas, and even in U.S. custom-built Cadillacs. CORRESPONDENCE: Buena Park, Calif. Mr. Hunter: May 14th, 1951 Relative to your "Oblong Views"—asking "the Indian nabobs to share the wealth," and your request "Now don't call me a communist," may I suggest that in case the injuisitor puts you in jeopardy that you fall back on the Apostle Peter—Acts 2:44-45, to-wit: 44—And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45—And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

Although the near professional standard of the a cappella and Mozart choirs was not reached, the Boys' and Girls' Glee clubs gave excellent accounts of themselves and their obvious enjoyment projected a very happy effect for the audience. Here, of course, are many candidates for future Mozart and a cappella groups. Chosen for soo appearances during the evening were: Marilyn Miller, soprano, singing beautifully "The Waltz Song" from Gounod's "Rorheo and Julliet," and looking quite ravishing besides deporting herself with unusual poise and charm; Diane Cave, playing the difficult piano "Etude in E Major" by Chopin with greatest case; Phillip Taylor, violinist, displaying his accustomed brilliancy in the diabolical demands of the Sarasate "Zigeunerwiesen;" (the was accompanied most ably by Peggy Kohlenberger); Delores Giardino, whose lovely voice soared gracefully through "Il Bacio" by Luidico; and Marilyn Schimmling and Miss Cowee collaborated in the gay technical display "Rush Hour in Hong Kong," which Abraim Chasins wrote for two pianos. Miss Schimmming also accompanied the a cappella choir, and Marlene Stewart and Marlene Anderson shared accompanying honors for the Girls' Glee club. A glance at the clever program, a tantalizing rhythm overture from Mr. Cook's Swing Band in the orchestra pit and suddenly "Revolt in Rhythm" was on the boards. The audience which had but played important roles. Mr. Conklin played the "juvenile lead" with a twinkle in his eye and, as he has proven before, seems to know his way about the theater. His vis-a-vis was Marion Carcausa, who was not only a darling, winsome little heroine, but who sang most engagingly. Mrs. Duncan, as a former Broadwayite, played the benefactress with a whimsical dignity. Kenneth Gross, playing the dean, was his usual substantial self; Patti Mattox was most amusing as the absent minded professor; Phillip Taylor had going, ideally abetted by Frances Cowee, Janet Fukuda, and Richard Gonzales, show such good taste backed by fine technical foundation. The versatility displayed on this special Friday evening at AUHS was really quite something to behold.—MSB. Miss Schimming also accompanied the a cappella choir, and Marlene Stewart and Marleni Anderson shared accompanying honors for the Girls' Glee club. A glance at the clever program, a tantalizing rhythm overture from Mr. Cook's Swing Band in the orchestra pit and suddenly "Revolt in Rhythm" was on the boards. The audience which had been most gracious and warm in receiving the "classical" concert was now ready to swing happily into a zany and humourous concoction of music and situations. Jack Conklin and Mrs. Neva Duncan with all the Mozart club members in close attendance, dreamed up a most entertaining method of displaying musical numbers and talent with a thread of story and much humor and gaiety. Set in the recreation room of a music school the story deals with attempts of the students to raise money for additions and repairs. They secretly contrive and rehearse a musical review which has been forbidden by the school head and his board of directors. A happy solution finds everyone satisfied at the curtain. Musical numbers interpolated were from musical shows of today and yesterday. Despite hectic and driving school activities, these young musicians contrived a very neat showcase for their particular talents, and with Miss Demaree and Mr. Cook somehow managed enough rehearsals to produce a performance with few slips and it a most entertaining pace. Jack Conklin and Neva Duncan practically carry star honors or they not only wrote the script know his way about the theater. His vis-a-vis was Marion Carcausna, who was not only a darling, winsome little heroine, but who sang most engagingly. Mrs. Duncan, as a former Broadwayite, played the benefactress with a whimsical dignity. Kenneth Gross, playing the dean, was his usual substantial self; Patti Mattox was most amusing as the absent minded professor; Phillip Taylor had several very chuckling moments as a Shakespeare addict; Helen Weir carried out her duties as a "spoiled brat" daughter with so much conviction there was obvious relief in the audience when she got her comeuppance; a cute trio of girls was Marquita Dixon, Myrna Lewilyn, and Peggy Kouilenberger; Delores Giardino and Nolan Blackman proved to be highlights with their respective special numbers; Dixie Lee Hopkinson and Don Goff were most entertaining in their small specialty; Earl Peterson, Frances Cowee, Janet Isbell, Marilyn Miller and Genevieve Bradley, all proved very entertaining in song and action. There were three spots in the show which must have special comment: Bud Browns, 15 years old, sang "I got Plenty O' Nuttih'" and made this reviewer think if he so chooses in another 15 years he will have become an institution in the theater. Then there was that precious few minutes when Helen Oviado sang, oh so smoothly, with the "Combo"—and now, about that combo: Even with such a small sample of John Whinbery's accomplishments, it seems obvious he is well on his way to finding his special niche. His arranging and his play-
