THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIDT City Editor HOWARD HALL News Editor STANLEY JONES Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager G. E. MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager War, but no war... These are the extraordinary Humpty-Dumpty days when we have war without fighting and fighting without war. For more than a year we've been fighting in Korea without calling it a war, officially. For more than six years the fighting with Germany has been over, but we're still at war with her, officially. Monday President Truman asked Congress, which declared war on Germany Dec. 11, 1941, now to declare it over. The main reason is psychological: to boost German morale and link that country closer to us. Other nations allied with us in the war with Germany will do the position trying to find their place alongside the rest of the world. For example: Any time they sit down with the Allies, whether it's in United Nations activities or elsewhere, they are officially enemies of the men across the table from them. Although this country might like to sign a peace treaty, winding up the war's unfinished business, some of the problems seem far from ended. For instance: how make a peace treaty with all of the original Germany so long as the eastern part, occupied by the Russians, is linked with the Soviets while the western part—occupied by the troops of this WASHINGTON —It issible, of course, to know why Moscow made a pact at this specific time. But the State Department by bassies may give the answer. One is the French which has informed State Acheson that troops are already manned the French Indo-Chinese and that airfields in South have been enlarged—for a new attack. The other is the Yugoslav bass which has informed State Department that troops are maneuvering Tito believes there is chance the long expected on Yugoslavia will begin. It doesn't take even reader to figure out Kremlin has an awful loss by prolonged peace talks. Here are at least three no. No. 1. The United Nations not going to go to the French in Indo-China struggle has been going long time, and there is able feeling among some members that the French gled things by hanging imperialism too long. No. 2. The U.N. will not going to the defense of slavia. First, it's a coalition. Second, it isn't North Atlantic Pact. There is a corner of the world hard to defend. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anathem Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The rains of Thursday night did no harm to the crops in this vicinity. The threshers were at work in the fields on Friday morning. The Los Angeles County Bank has declared its third semi-annual dividend. Stockholders and term depositors will receive five per cent and ordinary depositors four per cent. Gus Davis is making extensive improvements on his property on Lemon street. to the Western Coast Land and Water Co. for a consideration of $199,000. The property has a beach frontage of three miles. The new owners intend to lay out a townsite for a pleasure resort. Among the improvements on the land is a $14,000 pumping plant which furnishes water to irrigate 300 acres. The ranch home is situated on a knoll. Thirty-five acres are set to walnuts, apples, apricots and other fruits. The post office at Newport was burned some days ago, together Although this country might like to sign a peace treaty, winding up the war's unfinished business, some of the problems seem far from ended. For instance: how make a peace treaty with all of the original Germany so long as the eastern part, occupied by the Russians, is linked with the Soviets while the western part—occupied by the troops of this country, Britain and France—is linked with us? We might try some kind of treaty with that Western part which we occupy but then do we pull our troops out, as we'd almost certainly have to? If we did and left western Germany unarmed and its new government unprotected, would the communists try to overthrow it internally? Or would Germany become a new Korea, with the communist-trained Germans of the east invading the western part? If we arm Germany before removing our troops, will it revert to Nazism again and be a threat to its neighbors? Anyway, it may be some time before Congress gets around to undeclaring the war. But if it does this strange paradox of war in our time will continue: we won't be at war with Germany but our troops will occupy it.

The Los Angeles County Bank has declared its third semi-annual dividend. Stockholders and term depositors will receive five per cent and ordinary depositors four per cent. Gus Davis is making extensive improvements on his property on Lemon street. Thirty-two marriage licenses were issued in this (Los Angeles) county during the month of June. Rev. J. M. Allis will not be able to reach Anaheim in time to preach in his church next Sunday. He will however occupy the pulpit on the succeeding Sabbath. Mr. M. Mendelson of San Juan Capistrano arrived here yesterday. He brought with him Judge Richard Egan and several parties from the Hot Springs. The Republican Club met at Kroeger’s hall on Wednesday evening. Mr. Cord, delegate from the Orange club and Mr. Jesse Yarnell vice-president of the Los Angeles club, were present. The following gentlemen were nominated as delegates to the Los Angeles central committee: W. R. Olden, J. M. Guinn, Geo. C. Knox, D. E. Miles, and James Viles. The club now numbers forty-five members. 50 Years Ago Gustave Helmann, assistant cashier of the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Los Angeles, spent the Fourth in town accompanied by Mrs. Helmann. Col. R. J. Northam has sold 1600 acres of land at Bolss Chica new owners intend to lay out a townsite for a pleasure resort. Among the improvements on the land is a $14,000 pumping plant which furnishes water to irrigate 300 acres. The ranch home is situated on a knoll. Thirty-five acres are set to walnuts, apples, apricots and other fruits. The post office at Newport was burned some days ago, together with a small stock of goods owned by the postmaster, B. M. Watts. The loss is $600, which is covered by insurance. 25 Years Ago Fred McKinnie, pharmaceutical chemist of Los Angeles, a resident of Anaheim in the old days writes to the Gazette as follows: "One half a century ago or thereabouts, I became a resident of 'Campo Aleman.' Through the instrumentality of your very excellent paper, I am living again in the 'Auld Lang Syne,' of those days and, in order that I may enjoy them fully, I desire that your paper be sent to the address shown." Mrs. Holcomb, wife of the Rev. T. R. Holcomb, died at her home in Fullerton yesterday at the age of 88. She came to Fullerton 38 years ago. She was the stepmother of C. E. Holcomb, former prominent business man of this city. A card just received from F. A. Yungbluth dated June 18, states that he would arrive that night at Bremen, on his trip to his old home at Deardorf, near Coblenz. His ship made a stop at Cherbourg, France, which he says is the most strongly fortified port in the world. I have had a wonderful trip, he writes. WASHINGTON — It is impossible, of course, to know exactly why Moscow made a peace move at this specific time. But calls at the State Department by two embassies may give the answer. One is the French Embassy which has informed Secretary of State Acheson that Chinese troops are already massing on the French Indo-Chinese border and that airfields in South China have been enlarged—obviously for a new attack. The other is the Yugoslav Embassy which has informed the State Department that Rumanian troops are maneuvering and that Tito believes there is a 50-50 chance the long expected attack on Yugoslavia will begin this fall. It doesn't take even a smart reader to figure out that the Kremlin has an awful lot to gain by prolonged peace talks in Korea. Here are at least three reasons: No. 1. The United Nations is not going to go to the rescue of the French in Indo-China. That struggle has been going on a long time, and there is considerable feeling among some U.N. members that the French bungled things by hanging on to imperialism too long. No. 2. The U.N. will not relish going to the defense of Yugoslavia. First, it's a communist nation. Second, it isn't in the North Atlantic Pact. Third, it's in a corner of the world which is hard to defend. OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER Midweek Meandering... A VERY GOOD friend and co-worker of mine apparently has found a way to break loose from the fetters of the insidious cigarette habit quickly and painlessly. (Phillip Morris please note). Until he started using the preparation last Saturday he burned up about a package of cigarettes a day. Since Saturday he has smoked just four cigarettes, and vows that the craving is becoming practically non-existent. The anti-nicotine agent used is made up of oil of peppermint, chlorophyll, and some other ingredients which I don't recall right now. It is guaranteed not to be a drug and is therefore not habit-forming. Furthermore, if it does not give the desired results, the manufacturer will refund your money ($5 for a 2-ounce bottle). When the desire for a cigarette hits, you just put a few drops of the stuff on your tongue with an applicator which comes with the bottle, and you are actually revolted at the idea of smoking! And one bottle is enough to cure you of the tobacco habit. You can get it at your drug store. Being a natural skeptic, however, I shied clear of the stuff, arguing that anyone with a strong will power could quit any bad habit without artificial aids. You take boiled turnips for instance, I swore off boiled turnips last Thanksgiving, and haven't touched them since. THREE OF US were discussing the relative merits of California and the rest of the U.S. writer He was at length forced to admit that there are almost as many weeds in this state as there are killing stations. THIS COLUMN last week reviewed the initial performance of the Lorraine Cugat show (KECA-TV, channel 7, Tues., 10 p.m.) finding it an exceptionally dull offering, even vulgar to the extreme in some spots. However, the second show, telecast last night, was cleaned up and fairly entertaining, lacking only a good master of ceremonies. WE SEE BY the papers that Tom Dewey has gone to the Orient. This is a fine thing. SUGAR RAY ROBINSON'S experience in London Tuesday night is just another example of what happens when Americans start meddling in European affairs. AND, SPEAKING of celebrities whatever happened to MacArthur?

THREE OF US were discussing the relative merits of California and the rest of the U. S. yesterday, two out-of-staters pitted against a native Californian. We foreigners claimed that California was the weediest state in the union. We maintained that for every vegetable seed planted, 10 weeds will come up. It was two against one, and the "native" lost. SURGEON GENERAL —Major Gen. George E. Armstrong (above) is new Surgeon General of the Army succeeding Major Gen. Raymond W. Bliss, retired after forty years' service. Mail Bag To the Editor: Right off the bat I want to say I heartily endorse the proposal of "Uncle Jawn" Neubauer that Jack Miller run for state office—even if Jack has to be drafted. Your editorial of Monday pointed up very well what a valuable man Jack would be in the state Assembly—a place where he could carry on more effectively his battle for Americanism, decency in government, and where he could further expose the red menace which is creeping into our schools, industry, government, and agriculture. Jack has a splendid background for such a job. His experience and ability should be utilized for the public good. I am sure Jack's candidacy would be backed by veterans, farmers, and all other citizens who are in the fight for decent American government. Let's hope Jack will go along with the proposal. T. L. Hoag ED NOTE—Mr. Hoag, who wrote the above letter, has been a member of the tin-American Activities committee of the Anaconda American Legion. He has been in a good position to gauge the encroachment of communism in our social and governmental life. Recently Mr. Hoag was elected vice-commander of the local Legion Post. A tear gathered in me began to run down my arm as a man. And here again a woman who underwent hard it is to be a marshal. "Men really don't have anymore the way they work up," said the lady. "Bossed by women from to the grave. His mother his cradle, and his wife his funeral casket." A middle-aged man next to our pricked hand at this feminine heresy gan to listen. "Girls are supposed for romantic love," corona lady. "Fiddlesticks! rule are that way, but the tenderness in women. An auction with them."

HOW LONG will it be before we get smart and demand a better selling operation for our valencia oranges which are currently being given away on eastern auction markets? Yesterday's auction average showed the same alarming picture—for the grower—as has been evidenced ever since Orange county valencias hit the market. Remember that the valencia orange is this county's largest industry. When the growers are not getting cost of production then, sooner or later, every business or activity in this area will be adversely affected. It is still true that as the valencia orange goes so goes Orange county. SEVENTY-FIVE per cent of the valencia crop is sold by the California Fruit Growers Exchange, the Sunkist group. They should be more concerned than anyone and should be held to account in direct ratio to the volume of fruit handled. They are in a position to put an absolute floor under the price of fruit and make it STICK. We say that advisedly. Hark to the story of the California date grower. He has been facing a badly depressed market. Early this last season a group of smart date growers prevailed upon the founder of Florida Citrus Mutual to come out to California and see what a "Mutual" could do for the date grower. To make a long story short, the man was found, he agreed to do the job and it is done. The procedure was the same as in the Florida citrus picture. The first move was to get more than 75 per cent of the producers to sign an agreement to allow a group of their peers (growers to you) become their bargaining agent. They quickly signed up 60 odd per cent and then things slowed down: Some big growers started acting coy and asking for "special" deals. When they found the deal was on the up and up they started to sign. One day the percentage of date growers signed up jumped from below the required percentage to a winning 82 per cent. THE NEXT DAY THE MARKET ON DATES JUMPED FROM FIVE CENTS A POUND TO SEVENTEEN CENTS A POUND. These figures are, as we remember, and may vary a fraction but the result was spectacular—for the grower. NOW LET US CONSIDER why the Exchange fits into this pic- Hal Boyle NEW YORK (UP)—Well, men, the tide is turning at last. Women are actually getting a guilt complex at what they are doing to us in this male quandary called a civilization. I had lunch with one the other day. She called herself a feminist—spelled f-e-m-a-n-i-s-t. "I made the name up myself," she explained cozily. "A feminist is somebody who wanted equal rights for women. That movement went too far. What we need now is a f-e-m-a-n-i-s-t movement to get equal rights for men." An elderly waiter heard this remark as he passed our table. He broke into a wild laugh of disbelief and disappeared into the kitchen muttering, "never'll happen—too late, too late." Paying him no heed, my companion broke the back of a luncheon roll with a dainty snap of her wrists and said: "We now are living in a woman's world. It is run by and for women. And I feel sorry for the men who have to live in it. Truly sorry." A tear gathered in my eye and began to run down my cheek. I am a man. And here at last was a woman who understood how hard it is to be a man today. "Men really don't have a chance anymore the way the world is set up," said the lady. "A man is bossed by women from the cradle to the grave. His mother picks out his cradle, and his wife selects his funeral casket." A middle-aged man at the table 75 per cent of the producers to sign an agreement to allow a group of their peers (growers to you) become their bargaining agent. They quickly signed up 60 odd per cent and then things slowed down: Some big growers started acting coy and asking for "special" deals. When they found the deal was on the up and up they started to sign. One day the percentage of date growers signed up jumped from below the required percentage to a winning 82 per cent. THE NEXT DAY THE MARKET ON DATES JUMPED FROM FIVE CENTS A POUND TO SEVENTEEN CENTS A POUND. These figures are, as we remember, and may vary a fraction but the result was spectacular—for the grower. NOW LET US CONSIDER why the Exchange fits into this picture. The California Fruit Growers Exchange was formed under the SAME agricultural act as California Date Mutual. How do you like that? What does it mean to the grower? It could mean complete stabilization of the market. Under the present way the things are run it means nothing. Who is to blame? No question there: the grower. Why do we call attention to the poor job done by the "hired help?" Because we would like to get a little more MONEY for our fruit and see other growers do the same. What good is the whole Exchange, the prorate and all the rest of the top-heavy deal to the grower when they return only four bits for his fruit? So we are a so-and-so for asking some questions? About our "own business" as the "brass" would like to have us say, as we reach up to pat them on the back for being on "our" payroll. If the deal is a business then we have a right to ask "what for" on the sad state of grower returns. If it is an old ladies' knitting society then we ought to get that clear in our minds. Nothing personal, you understand. Mawress, we would like to receive a little more dough for our valencias. A return of cost of production plus a profit would make us smile. And stop pointing the finger at the boys who are falling down on the only important thing in the valencia business. Viz: Money return to grower. Well?

So mom immediately starts trying to turn her little boy into something better—something better than she was able to force dad to become." By this time a small group of men lunchers had gathered around our table and were weeping openly. "Darn it all, fellows," said the lady, pounding her fist on the table."Life just isn't fair to men." ly. "She's on our side, the first woman I ever knew that was. Shall we take up a collection to help her in her fine work?" I vetoed that, pointing out she was a business woman and probably made a bigger salary than any man in the place. "Aw, give her a standing vote of thanks—and I'll hand her the luncheon check," said the cynical old waiter."I don't trust any of 'em, no matter what they say." A tear gathered in my eye and began to run down my cheek. I am a man. And here at last was a woman who understood how hard it is to be a man today. "Men really don't have a chance anymore the way the world is set up," said the lady. "A man is bossed by women from the cradle to the grave. His mother picks out his cradle, and his wife selects his funeral casket." A middle-aged man at the table next to our pricked up his ears at this feminine heresy and began to listen. "Girls are supposed to marry for romantic love," continued the lady. "Fiddlesticks! rubbish! boys are that way, but there is no tenderness in women. Marriage is an auction with them. "And' after they get their man they make him work himself to death to get them the silly things they want and don't need. That's why the average wife gets to pick her husband's casket. She usually outlives him because he has killed himself trying to please her." At this the middle-age man collapsed on the next table and began to sob into his napkin. Then he reached his and over and said, "lady, I don't know whether you are for or against Harry S. Trueman, but you've made some damn fine remarks. And coming from one of your sex to our sex, I want you to know I appreciate them." My f-e-m-a-n-i-s-t friend shook his and manfully and went on: "Women are never satisfied with men. Little boys are taught to sing that they want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad." But what little boy is taught by his mother he should grow up and be just like his dear old dad. None. Mohi may have been good enough for dad, but he never was good enough for her. So mom immediately starts trying to turn her little boy into something better—something better than she was able to force dad to become." By this time a small group of men lunchers had gathered around our table and were weeping openly. "Darn it all, fellows," said the lady, pounding her fist on the table. "Life just isn't fair to men. Women have too much willpower for them." Then she got up and went away to powder her nose. "What'll we do for this fine little lady?" one man said brokenly. "She's on our side, the first woman I ever knew that was. Shall we take up a collection to help her in her fine work?" I vetoed that, pointing out she was a business woman and probably made a bigger salary than any man in the place. "Aw, give her a standing vote of thanks—and I'll hand her the luncheon check," said the cynical old waiter. "I don't trust any of 'em, no matter what they say." That's what we did. The f-e-m-a-n-i-s-t paid the $3.45 tab and went out smiling. All in all, it was a stirring lunch. Free speech for women is beginning to pay off.
