MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Charting the future...? Anaheim, like all other cities based on an agriculture-industryretail business economy, can be affected by the great debates going on about the Korean war, inflation, and Russia's probable moves. Let's take for example the debate in the business world: Will inflation or recession win out this summer? What's the future for industrial plants and businesses of all sizes and varieties of products? War, preparation for war, or "peace" with a slowdown in rearmament—these possibilities, differing widely in their impact on everyone's life, will rule the business world as they will the political one, most business leaders agree. But from there on there's little agreement. Those who think a recession is They say that Russia has now so aroused the American people that from now on her only effect on our economy would be one of speeding up our defense program if she started trouble somewhere else. Both sides seem to agree that the rearmament program is what's holding industrial production and business in general at its present high level. The government is pouring billions into production. Much of this money in turn will be passed on to the producers of raw materials and to workmen who make the defense foods. There are other factors to keep business on the upgrade: the growing population, the great American urge always to improve one's own standard of living, the increased purchasing power spreading through the lower income brackets. All these War, preparation for war, or "peace" with a slowdown in rearmament—these possibilities, differing widely in their impact on everyone's life, will rule the business world as they will the political one, most business leaders agree. But from there on there's little agreement. Those who think a recession is more likely are mostly those who think Russia will cool down the war, that our rearming zeal will lose its edge and that our economy will find itself with more of an expensively expanded industrial plant that it has use for. They also think that this plant expansion is giving us production capacity enough to take care of rearmament and still fulfill civilian needs. But those who feel that fire inventory slump is only an interlude to be followed by another spurt of inflation argue that rearmament is going ahead even if peace comes to Korea. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Constable Tichenal, of Santa Ana, was shot in the leg yesterday while attempting to arrest a man for disturbing the peace. Deputy sheriff Barham started out last evening with a posse authorized by Justice Marshall of Santa Ana to arrest the man, Isaac McManners, who did the shooting.

TODAY'S Mr. Wolf has on exhibition some minnows caught from the Zanja. They make a very pretty ornament for the bar. Chicken stealing has become a fine art in Anaheim and the owners of fine poultry swear terrible vengeance on the thieves if they are detected. The southern bound stage to Santa Barbara was robbed on last Friday night. Wells, Fargo & Company's box was empty so the robbers made a forced loan of $40 from the passengers. The Anti-Coolle meeting at Enterprise hall last night had a rather slim attendance and no business of importance was transacted. The Express denies the rumor that there are several cases of small pox in Los Angeles. 50 Years Ago Annual commencement exercises were held at St. Joseph's academy last night an interesting program having been arranged by the teachers in charge. Twelve pupils composed the graduating class, completing the eighth grade and will next year continue their studies in the higher branches of the public schools. Mrs. Rosario Jeminez of Fullerton was arrested Sunday by Fullerton officers at the Mexican settlement known as Little Ti- Hal Boyle NEW YORK UP—If the music business ever goes to the dogs, Xavier Cugat is ready to turn the tables by making the bow-wows go into business for him. The rhumba king plans to become a dog farmer when he finally hangs up his fiddle and his bow. His speciality is the breed he has made into his personal trade mark—the tiny Chihuahau. Already he owns by far the largest collection in America. "I've got 600 on my ranch in California," he said, "and when I get 1000 I'll really be ready to start operating." His dogs hardly have to worry yet about supporting Cugat, however. He estimates his band has grossed $15,000,000 in the last 20 years. It is still in the peak bracket, drawing down $6000 to play at a society wedding or $15,000 for a week at a theater. Cugat is a jack-of-all trades who found the best way to hit the jackpot is to specialize. The 51-year-old Spanish-born musician toured with Caruso as a violinist, then worked as a newspaper cartoonist before starting his own band. "I was just getting fill-in jobs until I noticed that this is a county of specialization," he said. He picked the uncrowded field of Latin-American music. Helping popularize the rhumba, the conga and the samba made him rich. So did his hobbies. Most band leaders have sidelines and spend WASHINGTON — Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson has sent letters to about 20 government agencies cautioning them on one of the worst scandals of mobilization—unjustified tax amortization. This is the system whereby manufacturers are permitted to write off the cost of a new factory for tax purposes in five years instead of 30. While this tax concession is a big boost to war production, a House subcommittee headed by Congressman Porter Hardy of Virginia recently issued a scathing blast against tax favoritism for certain firms. After issuing the report, the committee called on Mobilizer Wilson and made a flat-footed demand that he change some of the personnel who had handed out tax concessions, among them Frank Creedon of the National Production authority. Creedon was revealed by this column in 1946 as the official who permitted the Tanforan race track to be rebuilt when housing materials were scarce, and who permitted construction work on a burlesque theatre in Columbus, Ohio, and the Burger Brewing company in Cincinnati. Despite this, he was placed in a key spot in the NPA, where he has now come in for criticism by the Hardy committee. Urged by Congressman Hardy to shake up the personnel who handle tax amortization, Mobilizer Wilson hesitated. Noting the hesitation, Congressman Hardy snapped St. Boniface Hits Ball Everywhere In 16-8 Victory St. Boniface pounded out a 16 to 8 win last night in the only game played as Presbyterian forfeited to Nazarene in the first game. St. Boniface hit the ball about as often and far as they wished last night. Leo Waldman led the bitting with two home runs and a single, and Meeks got three singles. In the first inning St. Boniface scored three runs on a walk, single by Bob Heinz and a homer by Waldman. In the second they scored two runs on two walks and a triple by John Patin. In the third, they pushed 6 runs across on singles by Bob Stoffel, Epperly, Francis Patin, Meeks, a walk and home run by John Patin. In the fourth, Waldman homered with none on. In the fifth they added four more on a single by Meeks, double by Bud Stoffel, an error, single by Leo Waldman that went for four bases on an error. Grace Lutheran scored one run in the third on a walk, pass ball and a single by Jim Mack.

Helping popularize the rhumba, the conga and the samba made him rich. So did his hobbies. Most band leaders have sidelines and spend fortunes on them, such as Guy Lombardo, who can't say "no" to a racing motor boat. But Cugat figures it is only fair of a man to let any hobby pay its own way. He has a dozen profitable sidelines ranging from handpainted neckties to Cugat linens, plastic canasta sets, and raising Chihuahuaus. "It's a crazy hobby," he said. "I always wanted to own a farm and have people send me dogs they didn't want or could no longer care for." "One day while I was making my first picture I told the director I was nervous — I couldn't act without having something in my hands. The scene didn't call for my violin, so they gave me a Chihuahua to hold." The miniature pooch stole the scene. It drew more fan mail than the cast. A shrewd showman. Cugat immediately adopted the Chihuahua as his emblem. He bought them in droves, until soon he had enough to smother a St. Bernard dog. Raising Chihuahuas en masse, however, is inexpensive, as they eat little. "It's a fantastic business," said Cugat, "Practically no overhead. And the dogs bring anything from $200 to $1000 each. "In any other business if you sell a man something he will find fault with it later. But when you sell a dog, you never hear a cross word afterword from your buyer."

Headed by chief Dodger West Coast scout, Bob Hughes, and managed by Goidie Holt the athletes were put through their paces. In the mornings they would sprint 60 yards for time, throw the ball to home plate and first for a test of their arms and have a little hitting practice. In the afternoons they would divide into teams and play seven or eight inning games. Athletes that looked good would be asked to try out with one of the Dodgers, farm clubs around the country. This was the first year the Dodger tryout camp had been held in Anaheim. Their northern camp is in Palo Alto. One of the main reasons for the Dodgers to come to Anaheim was due to the hard work of Bob Ripley from Santa Barbara. Ripley was the man who brought the first professional team into Anaheim. He organized the Anaheim Aces in 1941 as an entry in the famed California State League. Athletes were from Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Montebello, Ventura, Hollywood, San Fernando, Puente, Rosemead, Pasadena, Bakersfield, Long Beach, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks and Colton. Don Acton, famed pitcher for the Pasa-Ames, Weber and Herbel Cage Teams Victorious Bill Ames' team gathered their first win in the league and handed Gene Gibson's team their second loss. For the first 10 minutes the game was close and then Ames team began to move ahead steadily. Bill Ames led the scoring with 13 points. BETTER QUALIFIED TO GIVE YOU BETTER SERVICE!
