MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Holding our own... A couple of arguments can be offered those who believe this country should let the rest of the world go hang while we keep our troops and arms and economic strength entirely at home. One is the moral and emotional appeal. The other is the practical kind: The first goes like this: We're free and we have a moral obligation to help others retain their freedom against the attack or pressure of communism. Charles E. Wilson, boss of the mobilization program, used the practical argument in his second quarterly report made night before last to President Truman on the progress of mobilization and the problems ahead. At this time, Wilson pointed out, At this time the people of the free world outnumber those under communism by two to one, since 68 per cent are outside the Curtain and only 32 per cent behind it. But if communism takes over Asia and Europe, then the people under the Soviets would outnumber us three to one, with 77 per cent behind the Curtain and only 23 per cent still outside. The obvious question which follows all those statements is: where would we be and what kind of shape would we be in to survive if all those things happened? The goal of the program, well-known and widely stated: to get arms produced for ourselves and WASHINGTON (P) -- In middle of last week's hectic life over price controls, President Truman called Leo de Orsay, torney for radio star Arthur C. Frey, and begged him to go the radio and arouse the public for price controls. This personal appeal by pathetic president, battling most alone, illustrates the greatest loss Truman has suffered the inability to mobilize public opinion. And realizing this looming appeal to a radio personality to mobilize opinion for him. It also illustrates the great asset Franklin Roosevelt had—ability to appeal over the head of Congressmen to the public. Congress never liked Franklin Roosevelt. Most of them did not apologize with his policies. But they fear him because they knew that, with the voters, he was stronger than they. Today just the opposite true, and members of Congress whose specialty is keeping their ears to the ground know it. They know that the president waged so many puny, person feuds, called so many people names, tolerated such laxness among the cronies around him that his ammunition is speeched. They know that having fled his big shells at Paul Hume, music critic, and at Bernie Barry and at the Marine Corps, the president has nothing but bird-shooting to fire at Senators who fail... IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The thermometer indicated 91 degrees yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Somebody has a corner on butter. It is a very scarce article at present. We learn that one man has bought up and salted down about three thousand pounds, which he will put upon the market when it will command fifty cents per pound. Some of the residents on 1st North street have made a complaint to the owners of the Chinese quarters, and have requested an abatement of the nuisance. received in the railroad accident at Fullerton some months ago, and contemplates pressing his suit for damages against the Santa Fe. C. G. McKinley has returned from Seattle, after an absence of some months. He represented the Southern California Fruit at the point and reports considerable business in the orange trade at that point. He leaves tomorrow for a trip to the northern part of the state. Deputy Assessor Jennings has broken the record for June collections of personal property and poll taxes. He has turned over to Assessor Vegeley, as a result of collections for the month, our under the Soviets would outnumber us three to one, with 77 per cent behind the Curtain and only 23 per cent still outside. The obvious question which follows all those statements is: where would we be and what kind of shape would we be in to survive if all those things happened? The goal of the program, well-known and widely stated: to get arms produced for ourselves and allies and at the same time expand our factories' ability to produce so we can maintain a high standard of civilian living. We haven't reached the goal yet, and won't for some time. Wilson said: "At least two years of intensive labor are ahead of us in this nation before we reach our present goals of military strength and productive power . . . the military production program is still essentially in the 'tooling-up stage.'" Congress, of course, may cut down the program if it thinks, because of peace which may come in Korea, that we can afford to relax and take it easier. But with the program continuing, Wilson and those around him are worried there may be damaging inflation if Congress eases up on the inflation controls. Those are some of the reasons why the president's own Sele leader, Ernest McFarland of zona voted against him; why Monroney, the new Senator for Oklahoma, who had the court to champion the old OPA; Wyoming's Joe O'Mahoney, posedly an administration lea—all turned their back on H Truman. And Harry Truman, able to rally the people, but courageously battling, appealed Arthur Godfrey to come to aid. Washington Pipeline The Texas Elks, who gave oral MacArthur the $600 Cadillac have found themselves holding bag for about $2000. They exped some of the big oilmen to run up the kitty for the Cadillac, the money didn't come in aspected . . . Congressman Simpson of Pennsylvania, helped write the new tax bill expecting another $600 per exemption. He already has and he doesn't care much who We learn that one man has bought up and salted down about three thousand pounds, which he will put upon the market when it will command fifty cents per pound. Some of the residents on 1st North street have made a complaint to the owners of the Chinese quarters, and have requested an abatement of the nuisance. Geo. W. Barter will deliver the oration on the Fourth at San Lorenzo. DeWitt C. Lawrence will read the Declaration of Independence at West Oakland. A new top buggy, complete in all its appointments, was turned out from the manufactory of Messrs. McDermont and Grimshaw, for liverymen Gaddy and Lewis. A watch and chain were stolen yesterday from the room of a young man at Mr. Konig's vineyard on Los Angeles street. For more than a week our town has been infested with from fifteen to twenty drunken vagrants whose sole object in life seems to be whiskey brimming. They sleep in the empty coaches around the stables, or lie promiscuously in the streets, according to their success in sponging drinks. It would be a good thing if some of them could procure a job in the chain gang. 50 Years Ago Arthur Porter was in town on Saturday afternoon, on his way home from the beach, where he passed some weeks to recuperate his health. He has not recovered from the effects of the injuries Deputy Assessor Jennings has broken the record for June collections of personal property and poll taxes. He has turned over to Assessor Vegeley, as a result of collections for the month, the sum of $1567. He expects this month to collect $100 more. Oscar Warling has disposed of his interests at Laguna, and will become a resident of this city. He has purchased Fred Lewis' interest in the livery business and will go into partnership with Ed Zeus in conducting the stable in future. 25 Years Ago A new squadron of rum-laden vessels, seeking to land their cargo surreptitiously along the coast of Southern California, is cruising off shore. The combined liquor cargoes of the four vessels is valued according to Coast Guard officials at about $2,000,000. Although the prohibition fleet has captured a number of rum-running launches the last few months off the Orange county coast line, the liquor smugglers are believed to successfully land a thousand cases of whiskey and wine to one case that is captured. Rev. A. G. H. Bode, rector of St. Michael's church has been offered the position of musical canon and radio director of St. Matthews cathedral at Laramie, Wyo. Dean Bode was formerly professor of music in the Episcopal college at Laramie. The position offered him carries with it a much larger salary than he is received at St. Michael's. It is possible he may decide to take it. Stewart Gates who is a student at Notre Dame university, came home from South Bend some ago to spend the summer vacations with his parents, Mr. and J. L. Gates. Henry Oelkers is lying critically ill at his home on Lemon st., anxiety is felt relative to his covery. Mr. Oelkers is a plea resident of Anaheim, coming in the early days. He is a new of the late Wm. Konig, and many years was employed by gentleman Mr. Konig had the utation of making the most elegant wine, and much of its enlance was due to Mr. Oelker work. WASHINGTON (UP) -- In the wake of last week's hectic battles over price controls, President Obama called Leo de Orsay, at-you for radio star Arthur Goddard and begged him to go on radio and arouse the public price controls. His personal appeal by a genetic president, battling all alone, illustrates the great loss Trump has suffered—inability to mobilize public opinion. And realizing this loss, appealed to a radio personality to mobilize opinion for him. Also illustrates the greatest Franklin Roosevelt had—the ability to appeal over the heads of congressmen to the public. Consequently liked Franklin Roosevelt. Most of them did not agree with his policies. But they feared because they knew that, with voters, he was stronger than today just the opposite is, and members of Congress especially is keeping their hand to the ground know it. They now that the president has used so many puny, personal issues, called so many people names, tolerated such laxness among the cronies around him; his ammunition is spent. They know that having fired big shells at Paul Hume, the critic, and at Bernie Baruch, the Marine Corps, the presi-den has nothing but bird-shot left for Senators who fail to do. County Comment By GEORGE E. HART A lot of Orange county people interested in salvaging water now wasted in Prado basin have done a lot of thinking and planning toward removal of willow trees and other vegetation in the basin that use up much of the water. But there are a lot of trees there that probably nobody has thought about except William H. Rison of the U.S. Army Engineers, who has charge of big Prado dam. There are 17,000 dead trees in the basin, Mr. Rison informed this department the other day. "So what," you may ask. They are not soaking up any water, so nobody is worrying about them. Except Mr. Rison. Mr. Rison is not thinking about water shortage when he worries about the 17,000 dead trees. He is thinking about water surplusage. He is thinking about a big flood coming along and throwing those 17,059 trees at his dam. Now this need not cause panic in the valley below the dam. It would take more than 17,000 dead trees to budge that big mass or earth and rock and concrete at Prado. The days of danger from floods are gone forever from the Santa Ana valley. Prado dam will handle a flood twice as big as any that has ever come down river, engineers assure us. The huge mass piled across Santa Ana canyon for a distance of 2280 feet. OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER NOT LONG AGO, the proposal was made that some kind of a commission be set up to monitor television shows in attempt to keep them "clean." Because television falls under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission, an immediate howl went out that this would, in effect, be permanent censorship of a free medium of entertainment, information and advertising inimical to our cherished right of free press, speech, etcetera. Television moguls droppedrocodile tears at this proposed dictatorship. They said that no governmental regulation was necessary. They said that the televiewers themselves could impose censorship on television by writing or phoning in to the TV stations their complaints when they thought programs were morally offensive, or out of the bounds of good taste. In the absence of a federal board of censors, examiners, monitors, or what have you, the time has come for us to start telephoning and writing letters. Many of the TV shows are offensive, but I speak of a particular program, called "The Lorraine Cugat Show" which made its initial bow Tuesday night at 10 o'clock on Channel 7 (KECA-TV). This show was widely bally-hooed by the television moguls who figured to capitalize on the fact that the audience would be all agog to see the ex-spouse of notorious routine of hip-swings around the microphone a sleek gown properly low-necked in conformance with the current dictum of the TV movie that anything from the navel is not the property of the former, but largesse for masses. This divorcee may have inherited Xavier Cugat's name, but there the bequeathal ends. Wields no control over the order tra, she has no concept of continuity or timing, and as a mistress ceremonies, she falls flat on prattling. She was billed as shining star of the program, (to borrow a phrase) like a mackerel lying in the moonlight she shone and stank. But the low point of the gram came when a "comedy" told a man and woman duo, invoking the sanctity of the teleview parlor. After some sort of remark by the woman, she turns his face to the cameras says, very distinctly, "I think could lay that woman, if I play my cards right." Now this need not cause panic in the valley below the dam. It would take more than 17,000 dead trees to budge that big mass or earth and rock and concrete at Prado. The days of danger from floods are gone forever from the Santa Ana valley. Prado dam will handle a flood twice as big as any that has ever come down river, engineers assure us. The huge mass piled across Santa Ana canyon for a distance of 2280 feet to a height of 106 feet, could hold back a lake containing 421,500 acre feet of water and covering 10,780 acres, if level with the top of the dam. But the 17,000 dead trees, or any considerable part of them, if uprooted by a big flood and washed against the dam, would foul the release gates and the underflow pipeline. Normat flood control operation of the dam would be blocked, and presumably the dam might fill to the spillway. It isn't supposed to handle floods that way. It's purpose is stricty flood control, not water storage, so it has the release gates operating during floods to release a certain flow constantly, up to a maximum of 9500 second feet, which happens to be about the safe capacity of the river channel below the dam. During minor floods, only a third of the dam's capacity is used, and the gates take the flow as it comes. Major floods, which would pour water against the dam faster than the gates could discharge it, would bring the dam's purpose into play. It would store the accumulating surplus during the flood, then continue releasing it afterward, to empty the reservoir as quickly as convenient. Then the dam would be ready for another flood, which could quickly follow the first. Prado dam, says Mr. Rison, already has demonstrated that it can handle a top-flight flood, although the public generally is not aware that it did so in 1943. The 1938 flood, just before Prado dam was built; ran riot through this valley, flooding Anaheim and other areas. It has been generally designated as the greatest modern flood in the county's experience. The 1943 flood didn't attract so much attention because it never got down into Orange county. Prado dam stopped it and leveled it off. But Mr. Rison has data showing-that it was comparable to the 1938 flood. The maximum 24-hour rainfall in the 1938 flood was 7.56 inches. The 1943 maximum 24-hour figure was 7.35 inches. Total rainfall over the 2233 square miles of drainage area above the dam in the four days of the flood was 14.83 inches. A whopping lot of water, double the whole rainfall of the past year. And Prado dam handled it so easily that the flood went practically unnoticed, although it ranked with the greatest in local history. But if the 17,000 dead trees were piled against the dam such a flood, the Prado spill might get wet for the first time. The dam will hold 220,000 feet of water up to the spill line. So Mr. Rison is worrying about dead trees. But he also is something worth mentioning at the live trees. In making him private individuals covering 9000 acres of federal lands in basin, credit on lease payment allowed for work done in clear land. In that way a considerable area has been cleared. But this isn't Brooklyn. There are many trees in Prado basin. FOR THE RECORD SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb., C.F.N. Mathers, Gering, Neb., hadn't missed a Rotary Club meeting in 25 years.
