THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BEESLER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIDT City Editor HOWARD HALL News Editor STANLEY JONBS Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager G. E. MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Independence Day... July 4, 1776 was the day on which the American patriots declared their intention to break away from the tyranny of English rule. But it took years of hard fighting and sacrifice to achieve that end. And it has taken added years of struggle and toil to protect what was won. The Fourth of July therefore is not a symbol of achievement but of the determination to attain and enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." That's a point to keep in mind. For the past 175 years our country has been free. Yet freedom is not something which is irrevocably ours like the hills and rivers of our nation. Rather it is a spirit to which we must individually and collectively aspire. Our Independence Day should be celebrated with a forward look as well as a backward glance. The signers of the Declaration have pointed out the way, they have given us an example of true patriotism. We honor them only as we carry on the fight for freedom, not only abroad but at home and within our own hearts. The greatness of America and the security of its freedom are in our hands. If we measure up to the responsibilities of our day half as well as the Founding Fathers did to theirs then that greatness will remain, that freedom will continue.

GANGLAND MARRIAGE LOS ANGELES (P)—The riage of two victims of land ambush has gone away in which Neddie Herbe fatally wounded Cohen w... in the shoulder.... PHILADELPHIA (P) — Tomorrow the nation and this city celebrate the 175th signing of the Declaration of Independence. Here are facts about that great cornerstone of our liberty which some of us may not know or have forgotten: The Liberty Bell did not ring out when the Declaration was signed July 4. It rang only on July 8, at which time the Declaration was read in the public square, now Independence square. Failure to rejoice on the first day was due to the fact that the signers were by no means popular. They got angry glances on the streets of Philadelphia, were considered "radicals," and called "dangerous persons"—even after the revolution was a year old. Four months after the signing, a powerful group in the Continental Congress—chiefly from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, New York and South Carolina—wanted to give up the Revolution. It was only by bare majorities that most Congressional moves squeaked by, and it was by adroit negotiation and compromise that the young radicals were kept intact. New York even abstained from voting for Independence for a week. That Boston party—If it hadn't been for a monopoly and British business bungling, we might still be part of His Majesty's empire. The British East India company had a monopoly of the empire's ton business and like most enterprises.

Jones Sends Top Four in American Tomorrow at Park INGLEWOOD (P) — Calumet Farm's one-two-three punch—Citation, Coaltown and All Blue—has frightened off some of the competition for tomorrow's $50,000 mile and an eighth American Handicap at Hollywood Park. As if this trio were not enough, Calumet trainer Jimmy Jones says he is thinking of sending the hard-hitting filly, Bewitch, out on the pace as his fourth starter, hoping to burn up some of the rival speed horses. She is a doubtful starter, however, Jones has been preparing her Legion Plays at 5 p.m. Today; 2 p.m. Tomorrow, Here Tonight at La Palma Park Stadium Orange's American Legion Baseball team will fight it out with the local Legion nine in a scheduled slam-bang affair. The game will start at 5 p.m. and Orange will be out to take the contest and remain in the fight for first place and a chance to do battle in the Southern California playoffs starting Saturday at Riverside and concluding Sunday at La Palma Park. Fullerton is battling Huntington Beach this afternoon at Fullerton and tomorrow both teams have it out at Huntington Beach. If Fullerton wins both games, then the title is all theirs. However, if they should lose one while Orange is defeating Anaheim in the two games and if Orange wins its 9 a.m. game tomorrow at Newport then the teams would be in a deadlock for the crown. Orange has it much rougher. They play tonight in a 5 p.m. game then travel to Newport for a 9 a.m. game tomorrow and conclude their schedule with a 2 p.m. game tomorrow afternoon back at La Palma Park. Anaheim has a season won-lost record of 6-4 and a split will give them a better than 500 per-cent record. Big Fish Hooked By Public Loan LOOK OUT for number Taylor, above, will be circle.

New York even abstained from voting for Independence for a week. That Boston party—If it hadn't been for a monopoly and British business bungling, we might still be part of His Majesty's empire. The British East India company had a monopoly of the empire's tea business and like most enterprises that lack competition, it almost went broke. To get out of the hole it raised prices; which in turn caused smuggling... One of the best-known signers of the Declaration of Independence, John Hancock, was a top smuggler, who got caught with a warehouse full of smuggled tea at a time when the British reduced prices and permitted tea retailers to buy direct from the company... Naturally Hancock was sore. In fact, he resented this "unfair" competition, and rather than lose money on his smuggled tea, organized the Boston Tea Party... British retaliation against the city of Boston was one of the biggest factors in leading up to the Declaration of Independence. Who the founders were—When John Hancock signed the Declaration, he wrote his name in large letters so the King of England could see it without using spectacles. Hence the present synonym for "signature"—"John Hancock."... Roger Sherman, who at an early age traveled on foot from Massachusetts to Connecticut, carrying his shoemaker's tools with him, was one of the committee of five appointed to draft the Declaration. When Charles Carroll of Maryland signed, he added, "of Carrollton" after his name so the British would not arrest his cousin Charles by mistake. Carroll survived all other signers, dying in 1832 at the age of 95. John Witherspoon, of New Jersey, was a native of Scotland. When asked whether the country was ripe for independence, he replied: "Sir, the country is not only ripe but rotting."

Enjoying a cool and refreshing afternoon recently were the members of the Southern California Public Loan Corporation and its affiliate branch offices. The "lucky" members took a nice and eventful ocean trip off the coast of Southern California to capture some of the sea monsters that have been floundering around the coast for years. Highlighting the attack upon the sea serpents was Harold Gaylord, advertising manager for the West Coast, who reeled in a 43 pound Bluefin shark. It was the prize catch of the day. Pressing Gaylord for top honors was Bill Martin, assistant manager of the Anaheim branch office who captured a 30 pound whip-tail shark. Other members aboard the "Pappy," out of Seasport Landing at Newport Harbor were R. C. Rich, supervisor of the Los Angeles office; Ted Martin, assistant manager at Huntington Park; Bill Austin, assistant manager out of Huntington Park; Mott Farrell, manager from Monrovia; Harold Thompson, manager from Santa Monica; Sam Wilcox, assistant manager from San Pedro and Lyle Timboe, manager from Torrance.

I have not signed the Declaration or written anything against the British government." "Then," snapped Williams, "You should be hanged for not doing your duty."

Local Youth Sends Roadster in Races Tonite at Huntington By STAN JONES It's not exactly the type of car you want to take the family riding in, but it's one you might want to take your mother-in-law or even yourself—that is, if you're one that likes steel seats, no windows, no radio, no starter and lacking many other "essential" accessories, plus having no roof over your head.

One such individual that likes and has such a velocipede is 26-year-old Jess Taylor of 220 North Philadelphia st., Anaheim. Taylor is the sole owner of a neat-looking, gold-colored modified roadster. As owner, he has the privilege of selecting his crew and driver. Years ago he was owner and driver, but has since turned the chore of steering the boneshaker over to Bud Dudley, 28-year-old roadster enthusiast from Monterey Park. The team seems to work out quite satisfactory as the little auto is highly rated by experts as being operated by an efficient, safety-minded crew. When Dudley is racing the low-slung limousine around the track, owner-Taylor is in the pits ready to assist at any time. Taylor started with a pile of nuts, bolts and pieces of metal in 1940 and has built the auto from the ground up to a racer that has been given the honor of carrying the number five on its side. Numbers are given to cars as a result of their point standing from the previous season and are awarded to winners and runner-ups at the different tracks. For the past two years Taylor's car has carried the number five-meaning it averages fifth spot in the majority of races. The car has been idle for several months, but will be seen in action starting tonight, tomorrow and right through the season. Tonight Taylor enters the car in the races at Huntington Beach Speedway then tomorrow the crew will travel to Carpenteria for an 3 p.m. race. Another local car that will be seen in action at Huntington Beach tonight will be Jim Ruth's entry. Ruth is the owner and driver, and will be seen driving car number 15 powered by a Mercury engine. Taylor has installed a Chevrolet engine in his car, but not before trying several others. He has raced about 15 times with the Chevy motor and raced about the same number with his V-8 engine. Altheide in Top Form by Throwing No-Hit, No-Run Art Altheide threw a perfect game with no hits, no runs and no man reaching first for nine innings last night to knock Alex Tamale out of first place and the Merchants took over as they drubbed Lehr's Service 16 to 1 in the second game. Altheide struck out 16 and threw two out at first. Only two balls were hit out of the infield and they were to left field. Bud Cram of Alex Tamale had given up only two hits until the ninth inning when Grace Lutheran scored one run in the top of the ninth on a single by Art Michael and he scored on a double by Bill Geiger. Michael got three of Grace Lutheran's five hits.

Taylor has installed a Chevrolet engine in his car, but not before trying several others. He has raced about 15 times with the Chevy motor and raced about the same number with his V-8 engine. Taylor, being an owner of a car is a member of the racing association that covers Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties; and at the same time holds a seat on the board of directors. While on the board he has seen several changes come into racing for the benefit of the spectators and the association. Roadster racing was becoming too common and attendance was dropping so something had to be done. Attendance was split; some going to the roadster races and others to the jalopies. Solution: Have both race the same evening at the same place. Now, half the program at all races is roadster and the other half jalopies racing. Another change was the type of car that was racing. People seemed to be tired of seeing race after race all stock roadsters so now the racing program is for modified roadsters. There are approximately 30 jalopies racing an evening while there will be around 15 modified. Taylor stated that more modified racers were welcome to enter the races at Huntington and other speedways. Taylor designed the racer's own head from a stock model and has well-known parts such as a Parvin Cam, Jahns Pistons and a Mallory ignition system. He doesn't have a flywheel, but still manages to get a compression of 10 to one. His type of fuel hasn't been determined yet; however, he's working for a regular dose of something. In his spare time (what spare time) he is a machinist, naturally. To him racing is just a pursuit or an idea—a delightful hobby.
