MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulating Manager Information and prevention... We were dreadfully sorry to note in yesterday's newspapers the number of news stories concerned with crimes against children and molestation of children. The cruelest of them all, of course, is the disappearance of little Patricia Hull. The grief and anxiety caused parents and friends by the Buena Park happenings is almost heartbreaking. Unfortunately, it happened. People ask, "Why are such things permitted to happen?" "Isn't there something the 'law' can do about that?" Apparently there isn't much being done by anybody until the terrible crime is committed. Then, it is tragically too late. SO, PARENTS IT IS UP TO YOU. Such crimes are coming closer and closer home. And, right now is the time for all parents to talk this thing over with their children. Explain to them how careful they must be of strangers, explain what these strangers might do. Explain to them the actions of tions may have been misunderstood. But, it should be done. The police have ways of handling the investigation of these cases which protect everybody concerned. So, don't be hesitant about "talking over" this situation with your children. It is for their protection. They deserve to be forewarned. It is your duty. Of course, what happens after these people are arrested is something else again. But we can always hope. We repeat, for prevention's sake inform your children.

HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago A special train will leave the depot at Los Angeles this morning at 11 o'clock for the La Puente, to carry members of the Masonic fraternity to the funeral of Wm. Workman. Mr. Luedke has recommenced the lighting of the clock in front of his store. It is a great convenience to those of our citizens who keep late hours. We forgot to mention in writing of the Yorba-Scully trial that Scully was fined $500 with the alternative of spending his time in county jail at the rate of $2 per day. Constable Bohn arrested a crazy woman yesterday. We learn that Judge Brunson of Los Angeles was quite seriously injured on Thursday evening by being thrown from his buggy. So, don't be hesitant about "talking over" this situation with your children. It is for their protection. They deserve to be forewarned. It is your duty. Of course, what happens after these people are arrested is something else again. But we can always hope. We repeat, for prevention's sake inform your children. It is well also to remember that Southern California attracts all sorts of misfits because of its climate, boom conditions, new people, wealth. These include not only sex perverts, but confidence men, pan-handlers, gamblers, cheats, and ruffians. Whenever you feel you have spotted such a person it might be a good idea to report your suspicions to the police. You may prevent a crime. 50 Years Ago Napoleon Hart and wife visited the street fair at San Bernardino on Thursday and Friday last. They also visited friends at Colton. They report an enjoyable trip, but found the San Bernardino weather warm. Orazzi Salvini, a young blacksmith from San Francisco, arrived on Monday to take a position at Charlie Bauer's shop. Olliver Hill returned on Monday from the session of Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in San Francisco. Olliver reports a way-up time. The Anaheim Farmer's club will meet at the home of Mr. Korn on Monday afternoon next, at 2 o'clock. A delegation from the Fullerton Farmer's club will be present and the special order of the afternoon will be a discussion of walnut marketing. The lead really b winter shortly after John asked by Wilson to a motion picture industry on the headache-inspired economic stabilizer. Johnson sented, provided he was executive order by the House entrusting him w to regulate prices, wages and other causes of injury Johnston on Limb. Wilson agreed. And strength of his agreement ston went out on a limb conference and stated that president would soon be executive order, in effect a big slice out of Wilsonization empire. Immediately thereafter son's legal staff drew up executive order, but not opened. Curious, Johnston for the order was held up himself, the man who used it. Wilson's alibi roadblock was that his Herbert Bergson, and Ford deputy attorney were opposed. Johnston was burned even, he didn't go over head to the president. In kept his mouth shut and ball. Meanwhile, Wilson rounded himself with the type of idolaters as Harman, some of them a useful. The General Vaughan of the Wilson is Sidney Weinberg, head giant Goldmann-Sachs ment banking company. Washington has been named head of the "departive devious planning." Welnberg is a suspicious man who has been in security. And one of hisitors, apparently shadowy poly Mike DiSalle, the co-founder of Toledo now price saw him lunching with Cheyfitz, former motion assistant to Eric Johnston Ex-Commile. So, out of the clear b son called Johnston in. Sheaf of papers in his ha son glared at Johnston if he were a witness b House un-American J Constable Bohn arrested a crazy woman yesterday. We learn that Judge Brunson of Los Angeles was quite seriously injured on Thursday evening by being thrown from his buggy. By telegraph from northern points including Sacramento, Grass Valley, Chico and Shasta, we learn that it began raining last Friday night and more than an inch fell—at Grass Valley snow fell to the depth of six inches. Says the Santa Barbara Press: Senora Donta Romero, aged 100 years, died in Santa Barbara, May 14. She was born in San Juan Capistrano, was married in 1809, and was the mother of fifteen children. It rained slightly in Los Angeles on Saturday last. Drunk and disorderly was the offense for which a female had to answer before Judge Clark yesterday. The kind hearted dispenser of the law discharged her with the solemn admonition—"Go and sin no more." Tim Wo's kite which is such a source of wonder to the school boys and delight to the inmates of the wash house of the Celestial aforesaid, was humming in the air all through the afternoon yesterday. The Anaheim Farmer's club will meet at the home of Mr. Korn on Monday afternoon next, at 2 o'clock. A delegation from the Fullerton Farmer's club will be present and the special order of the afternoon will be a discussion of walnut marketing. Mr. and Mrs. A. Freise are entertaining their daughter, Mrs. Schoreck of Chicago, who will remain for a stay of two months. Mrs. Schoreck is a noted singer and Anaheimers may have an opportunity of hearing her before she returns to her home in the East. 25 Years Ago Homer G. Ames of this city was, on Friday, appointed by Governor Richardson to be superior judge of Orange county filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Roger Y. Williams. He assumed his official duties on Monday. Six candidates sought the office. They were Ames, W. H. Fenton, A. P. Nelson, James L. Allen, W. P. Webb and W. H. Thomas. Mr. Ames came to Anaheim from Santa Ana where he spent his boyhood. For some years he was associated with Horace C. Head. He came to Anaheim and was a law partner of Richard Melrose, who passed away several years ago. He later formed a partnership with Thomas L. McFadden. For a number of years he was city attorney of Anaheim. So, out of the clear bison called Johnston in. The sheaf of papers in his hair son glared at Johnston if he were a witness be House un-American committee. "Eric," he asked, "what this friend of yours, Eddie fitz? Do you know that a member of the party?" "Certainly," replied, "getting his dander up." I Eddie Cheyfitz for years know that 11 years ago relative youngster, he was ber of the communist party know that ever since they been most helpful to the exposing the communists. "I know, for example tinned Johnston, getting that he's fought com Hollywood and in the unions. He has such an record in this respect, that addressed the Army War on the subject of community has also outlined the day communism in speeches the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Pennsylvania Muturers association. "I also know that in 1904 Cheyfitz was under attack bishop Karl Alter of Ohio to his defense. That's not about Eddie Cheyfitz." "Well, Eric," said Wil WASHINGTON — It’s been pretty well concealed except to their close friends, but a smoldering sometimes bitter feud has been raging between the two top mobilization executives of the Nation—Charles E. Wilson and Eric Johnston. Both men have been in the electrical business—Wilson as head of the giant General Electric Corp. Johnston as owner of his own appliance factory in Spokane, Wash. Wilson has sometimes had rough sleeding with his labor relations; Johnston has an employee profit-sharing plan which makes his factory a model for the Nation. Wilson did a good job as government production executive during World War II: Johnston for years was a farsighted chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Wilson was chairman of Truman's committee on civil liberties and tolerance; Johnston served as czar of the motion picture industry. But, despite their vast and varied experience, the two men just don't seem to like each other. The leud really began last winter shortly after Johnson was asked by Wilson to leave the motion picture industry to take on the headache-inspiring job of economic stabilizer. Johnston consented, provided he was given an executive order by the White House entrusting him with power to regulate prices, wages, credit, and other causes of inflation. Johnston on Limb The leud really began last winter shortly after Johnson was asked by Wilson to leave the motion picture industry to take on the headache-inspiring job of economic stabilizer. Johnston consented, provided he was given an executive order by the White House entrusting him with power to regulate prices, wages, credit, and other causes of inflation. Johnston on Limb Wilson agreed. And on the strength of his agreement, Johnston went out on a limb at a press conference and stated that the president would soon issue this executive order, in effect taking a big slice out of Wilson's mobilization empire. Immediately thereafter, Johnson's legal staff drew up the executive order, but nothing happened. Curious, Johnston found that the order was held up by Wilson himself, the man who had promised it. Wilson's alibi for the roadblock was that his counsel, Herbert Bergson, and Peyton Ford, deputy attorney general, were opposed. Johnston was burned up. However, he didn't go over Wilson's head to the president. Instead, he kept his mouth shut and played ball. Meanwhile, Wilson had surrounded himself with the same type of idolaters as Harry Truman, some of them about as useful. The General Harry Vaughan of the Wilson idolaters is Sidney Weinberg, head of the giant Goldmann-Sachs investment banking company, who in Washington has been nicknamed head of the "department of devious planning." Weinberg is a suspicious gentleman who has been in charge of security. And one of his operators, apparently shadowing roly-poly Mike DiSalle, the ex-mayor of Toledo now price stabilizer, saw him lunching with Eddie Cheyfitz, former motion picture assistant to Eric Johnston. Ex-Commile So, out of the clear blue, Wilson called Johnston in. Tapping a sheaf of papers in his hand, Wilson glared at Johnston almost as if he were a witness before the House un-American Activities Committee. Hal Boyle By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (P)—Will America be forced to fight a great land war in Asia—in the near or far future? It is the belief of many Army ground commanders in Korea that the American Army should avoid an all-out war in that area if it is at all possible to do so. "The big lesson we have learned here," one veteran officer told me, "is not to get too deeply involved in this part of the world in ground warfare. It isn't for us." His argument was that the continent of Asia favored the enemy method of infantry battle and hindered ours. It gives the other side every advantage. It holds none for us. This officer—he had held a high staff rank in the European war—felt that to win an Asiatic victory through land battles would cost more blood than the American nation would spend. "It would bleed us dry," he said. "The enemy has too much potential manpower and too much landscape. Taking landscape doesn't win a war—as Napoleon and Hitler found out in their marches on Moscow. You have to destroy the enemy, his industry—and his ability to resist." He pointed out that Europe's fine road network had enabled the American Army in the last war to utilize its superior mobility and mechanized firepower. Once our tanks and mobile guns had broken through the enemy's forward crust they could race at will through his rear lines and chop them up. "Asia doesn't have those roads," he said. "And our mobility is reduced to the minimum. That means our infantry and their infantry would have to slug it out too much on a rifle to rifle basis." stand is why we have suffered so many casualties against an enemy who is not, and never has been, as formidable as the Jap or the German of World War II. I am not at all satisfied that the so-called Chinese 'human sea' mass attacks can destroy a well-supplied, adequately mechanized defender. Nor do I believe that Napoleonic 'mass attack' tactics have replaced again the flexible, thin-line attack of small, coordinated units. "In other words, one machine-gunner (even if his morale is not of the best) can raise havoc with an attacker who is advancing in mass without adequate artillery and air support." This officer recalled how American infantry used to beat back Japanese night-banzai attacks in the last war and added: "But then we had the troops to do the job. Units advanced shoulder-to-shoulder all across the enemy island. But in Korea, shortage of troops and the terrain make flank security exceedingly difficult, if not impossible. Consequently, an enemy night attack can (and does) penetrate our lines and puts the moral courage of men to a severe test." This inability to make a shoulder to shoulder defense or attack in Korea would be multiplied if American infantry had to fight on continental Asia. That's why many experienced ground commanders believe that if a third world war breaks out the United States should mass its land troops in an arena where they are more likely to win at least cost. TYROL HAS COLD WAR VIENNA (P) — A "cold war" has broken out in the heart of the snowy Austrian ski country. Two provinces of Western Austria—the Tyrol and Vorarlberg—conservation purposes, utilized until thelikes up.

Ex-Commie So, out of the clear blue, Wilson called Johnston in. Tapping a sheaf of papers in his hand, Wilson glared at Johnston almost as if he were a witness before the House un-American Activities committee. "Eric," he asked, "what about this friend of yours, Eddie Cheyfitz? Do you know that he was a member of the communist party?" "Certainly," replied Johnston, getting his dander up. "I've known Eddie Cheyfitz for years. And I know that 11 years ago, as a relative youngster, he was a member of the communist party. I also know that, ever since then he's been most helpful to the FBI in exposing the communists. "I know, for example," continued Johnston, getting warmer, "that he's fought commies in Hollywood and in the labor unions. He has such an excellent record in this respect, that's what I know about Eddie Cheyfitz." "Well, Eric," said Wilson, "I just didn't want to see you hurt by your association with Eddie Cheyfitz." Johnston told Wilson that he didn't desert his friends when he knew they were right, and left the room. He had the impression, however, that Wilson was trying to frighten him with an indirect commie smear. To this date the executive order promised to Johnston last January has not been signed. TYROL HAS COLD WAR VIENNA (P) — A "cold war" has broken out in the heart of the snowy Austrian ski country. Two provinces of Western Austria—the Tyrol and Vorarlberg—have most of the mountains and most of the snow. Last week, the Tyroleans accused the Vorarlberg provincial authorities of carrying out a "snow blockade." They said the Vorarlbergers were refusing to clear snow off a pass that separated the two provinces. This, the Tyroleans said, was preventing winter tourists from reaching them. The Vorarlbergers replied "You can clear it off yourselves if you want to." INSTRUCTIVE" FILM CAUSES PUROR FRANKFURT, Germany (P) — A new German sex film is drawing capacity crowds and worrying police. "Eva and the Gynaecologist," billed as an "instructive" picture includes several reels on venereal diseases, physiology and birth, framed within a simple plot. Frankfurt police decreed that only members of the same sex could be admitted at a performance. Theater owners talked them into a compromise: Women were seated on the right, men on the left. The center seats were left vacant. In Munich, police permitted normal seating. Water leaders of Orgy are keeping a keen progress of a state meaning appropriation of $500 state funds to purchase river water for sinking West Basin of Los Angeles. The move is aimed at the intrusion of salt water the ocean, which is in underground basin there as in Orange county. There are two prince mentions on the move, as Orange county. Comment No. 1: If going to appropriate buying outs.de water, the appropriate $7,500,000 rate $750,000, to make any rent on the salt water front. Comment No. 2—withsis: If the state is going Colorado river water to any local basin, Santa Clara in Orange county is just entitled to it as West Los Angeles county. An arrangement wouldn't be kosher. -Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor ANYTIME ANY group of California Valencia salemen even mentions a price as low as $10 a ton, at the packing house for our southern fruit they are either jesting, incompetent or something smells to high heaven. And we would add further that an investigation would be, probably, as smelly as some of those we have been reading about in the papers. That $40 figure mind you, is for "juice" fruit. It is time those people in the Kremlin, whose salaries are paid by the grower, start to realize that the old grower out in the field is beginning to understand what it is all about. And the more he understands the less he likes his employees. Not personally, you understand, but from the ability angle. They get good money from him, plus a marvelous provident plan, and all he gets in return is a lot of "law bone" and too little money. The shabby little tricks, used over the years, to make the "competition" look bad will not be countenanced by growers very much longer. To hear of a small percentage of the "biggles" fruit thrown into a market to break it down for a small shipper, when that fruit might be your neighbors who does not choose to belong to the same deal as the one you belong to, just will not do. The "hired help" will have to work for the good of the whole industry, in money return to the grower, or the Kremlin will slip back into just another small shipper. With the costs they have built up the deal will not stand a lot of withdrawals because if that happens the overhead will eat up what now is paid to the grower, reluctantly. LAST YEAR the valencias that went into "products," as the Exchange terms it, for the first time, we are reliably informed, paid a direct tax on their output. In other words there was a direct retain out of the products themselves. Before when a new thing-a-ma-jig was added to the sprawling EOP the whole Exchange paid it. But that sort of thing is so unimportant that it is laughable. The big item last year was the "cheaper" fruit contract that Mr. Wilcox signed with Minute Maid. If the Exchange had paid to its growers what other juice plants paid to theirs the valencias could have built several new plants just to make frozen concentrate. And when we have four or five times the capacity for making frozen concentrate right here in Southern California then the GROWER will be in the driver's seat. Don't let any hired Exchange lackey fool you on that one. YOUR "HIRED HELP" must be firmly told that you want more MONEY or your fruit. Remember that the "outside" canner is not County Comment By GEORGE E. HART Ten thousand worms in Orange county are about to give up their lives to fulfill a worm's destiny. Annual Huck Finn Day, initiated last year by the Izaak Walton League chapters of Orange county, and now sponsored by the Ikes as a regular event, will draw 3500 kids, more or less, to the lake in Irvine park Saturday June 16. Probably more than 3500 will be there, because 3500 attended last year and the affair doubtless will grow. So the 10,000 worms are facing the last long mile. And it will be useless for them to try to wiggle out of it. Speaking of Izaak Waltons, they could be classed with the valencia orange, in one respect. Orange county is the principal producer of both. Of the 3000 or so members of the Izaak Walton League in California, about 1400 or 1500 of them are members of chapters in Orange county. State headquarters of the league are now located in Anaheim, and by far the greatest force of the organization is in this county. Santa Ana chapter, with about 235 members, is the largest, but the newest chapter in the county, Garden Grove, has about 150 members. Orange county Ikes set the pace for this fine conservation group. They already have accomplished a signal piece of business in lining up a county-state federal program of dam building on holy Jim creek the past two years, using funds legally carmarked for conservation purposes, but not so utilized until the Ikes stirred things up. This type of work will be extended to Trabuco creek this year, it is understood, and doubtless will cover other streams. YOUR "HIRED HELP" must be firmly told that you want more MONEY or your fruit. Remember that the "outside" canner is not going to pay more for your fruit and then stand around, with his neck out, and wait for the Kremlin to pull the string. That is just what kept last year's valencia prices low. That attitude on the part of the "hired help" who have not one thin dime of their own invested in citrus will be the only thing that might keep "juice" fruit prices at under $50 a ton, net to the grower, for 100 solids valencias. No, gentle reader, we are not crazy. We simply believe that with the proper kind of "hired help" that would be just about the LEAST any valencia grower would get for his "packing house rejects" in this year of 1951. And THAT would only be about one-third of PARITY. Or shouldn't we talk that way—out loud? Mail Bag To the editor: The elections are over. The increase in the number of voters proves a stimulation of interest in our community. A large part of this stimulation can, no doubt, be attributed to the pressure of our local newspapers. So called "influential sources" felt an "injustice" had been done. What happened??? There was much ado—mass meetings, news articles, everything possible was done to awaken our local citizens as to what could be done by three men who, not incidentally, are reputable citizens and were elected to their position by the majority of our voters—which indicates some confidence in their respective ability to do what they felt justified in the betterment of our school problems. Suddenly, there was much interest on the part of local people to do something in the welfare of our schools and our children. This is what happened when some citizens felt advantage had been taken of one of our local citizens by the members of the school board. Now, may I ask, what is done when one man commits an offense against dozens of our children??? An "injustice" whichords, and there are many. The public is warned too seldom about these men and it happens all too frequently in our community of Anaheim. This is the sort of thing that should incite each and every citizen. We spend thousands of dollars each year on a recreational program. It seems to me that if some of these funds were used to change inadequate laws and to provide protection in our community, there would be less need for such a large scale recreational program. Here we have lovely La Palma park which should be a wonderful place for children to make their own recreation. However, there is absolutely no police protection there, and it is a haven for sex offenders and exhibitionists. To be good adult citizens in any community, our children must develop initiative. How are they going to do this if parents are afraid to let their children out of sight, and age is no factor. ANY CHILD OF ANY AGE IS VULNERABLE. Recent developments prove that. We have a representative school board who will try to adequately manage our school problems, but what about our children when they are out of school??? If enough interest can be aroused to warrant our community- pace for this fine conservation group. They already have accomplished a signal piece of business in lining up a county-state-federal program of dam building on holy dim creek the past two years, using funds legally carmarked for conservation purposes but not so utilized until the lkes stirred things up. This type of work will be extended to Trabuco creek this year, it is understood, and doubtless will cover other streams in time. Work also has been done by the lkes toward preserving quail, doves and other wildlife. Water leaders of Orange county are keeping a keen eye on progress of a state measure seeking appropriation of $750,000 of state funds to purchase Colorado river water for sinking in the West Basin of Los Angeles county. The move is aimed at hastening the intrusion of salt water from the ocean, which is invading the underground basin there as well as in Orange county. There are two principal comments on the move, as heard in Orange county: Comment No. 1: If they are going to appropriate money for buying outs.de water, they should appropriate $7,500,000 rather than $750,000, to make any impression on the salt water front. Comment No. 2—with emphasis: If the state is going to buy Colorado river water to sink in any local basin, Santa Ana basin in Orange county is just as much entitled to it as West Basin in Los Angeles county. Any other arrangement wouldn't be legally kosher.
