MELLEN BALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Advertising Manager Advertising Manager Classified Advertising Manager Circulation Manager No simple answer... There seems to be a mixed feeling in this country about a prospective Korean armistice: people who will be glad if the shooting ends, because it would save lives, but some are deeply bothered. If an armistice is reached near the 28th Parallel, they ask, is that what we spent all the American lives and dollars for—we haven't whipped the Chinese and they still hold all North Korea? Can we ever be sure of peace while the communists have North Korea? Or some time again will they try another invasion, south of the 28th, with all this for us to do over again? The questions are good and real. Because they are, they show that any armistice will be an un-are still not ready for world war. If we got into such a war-starting in Asia, we'd have to split our strength between Asia and Europe. In Europe Russia might be able to overrun our allies. Without them we'd be practically alone in the world. The Korean adventure has had some disadvantages for the Russians who didn't have to lose a man in Korea since the North Koreans and Chinese did the dying. Our stand there undoubtedly upset the communist timetable of conquest; and the shock of the invasion drove this country and its allies closer together and into re-armament. But Russia, which suggested the armistice, stands to get some ad- IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

Our stand there undoubtedly upset the communist timetable of conquest; and the shock of the invasion drove this country and its allies closer together and into re-armament. But Russia, which suggested the armistice, stands to get some advantages from it and perhaps make up lost ground: Because we'll be uncertain of communist intentions in this uneasy armistice, if there is one, we'll have to keep a large part of our armed force in Korea, perhaps for years; with so many of our best troops pinned down in Korea, the communists may try another move elsewhere. In short, it won't cost them a dime to immobilize our only battle-trained troops. And in this uneasy period the Russians may hope, and work, for other benefits; a slackening of Allied re-armament or maybe a split among the Allies. The only reply to a person looking for some simple, single solution to the Korean mess is this: there is no simple answer.

McKinnie and Mrs. Bane, all of them daughters of the late John Fischer, Esq., during his lifetime one of Anaheim's foremost pioneers. Mrs. de Frees was the first white girl born in Anaheim. Many years had elapsed since last they viewed the scenes of their former home and the day was pleasantly passed in renewing old acquaintances. Mr. Fiscus who suffered the fracture of a leg at Miraflores some days ago, by being attacked by a vicious horse he was doctor- Cloud Seeding of Santa Ana Weather Corporation Pronounced Successful WASHINGTON — It’s hard to write about a man who is dead and cannot defend himself. However I should like to write about Andrew Older, listed recently by an FBI undercover agent as a member of the communist party. Older worked for me for a brief period after the war and it became my unpleasant duty to fire him. During the course of firing him, I got to know a little bit about what makes a communist tick. If we are going to cure communism in the American body politic, then it’s important that we know what turns a man into a communist and how he can be cured. Here is one case history in point. Older worked for a group of conservative trade journals—a paint and varnish magazine, a bakery journal, a poultry monthly, together with the film and radio dailies and the Hollywood Reporter. During the tall end of the war when manpower was short he also worked part-time for me, in addition to his other chores. Canadian Spy Ring Andy was a nice boy, worked hard and I never dreamed at first he had any links with the communists. But as time passed and I wrote more and more critical stories about Russia I became very aware of the increase of seven per cent in rainfall over the Santa Ana river watershed during the past season, representing 73,000 acres feet of water worth $700,000, at the MWD price of $10 per acre foot. Is claimed by the Santa Ana River Weather Corp. for the first year of its cloud seeding operations in this area. Actual cost of that water was less than $40,000, the budget pledged for the work. Meteorologist John Battle, in charge of the corporation's weather station at Beaumont, reported the results claimed at a meeting in Riverside Women's clubhouse yesterday, attended by Orange county water officials. Orange county's section of the basin got the best results. Battle said, the precipitation here being increased by a full two inches, chiefly in the early November storm, in 1950. Although results were good, the method will be changed next year and more reliance will be placed on ground generators using silver iodide, rather than cloud seeding from planes based at Banning, Battle said. Ground generators will be stationed along the Orange county coast line in the vicinity of Newport Harbor, and on Catalina Island, as a result of experience gained during the past season. The generators can be operated at nominal cost, said Battle, estimating the cost of silver iodide at about $30 per season per gen- gether with the film and radio dailies and the Hollywood Reporter. During the tall end of the war when manpower was short he also worked part-time for me, in addition to his other chores. Canadian Spy Ring Andy was a nice boy, worked hard and I never dreamed at first he had any links with the communists. But as time passed and I wrote more and more critical stories about Russia I became suspicious. He frequently argued against the columns which criticized Russia. I recall especially the column I wrote exposing the Russian spy ring in Canada. At that time —1946—a great many Americans still were devoted to the idea that we could and must cooperate with Russia, and the critical mail I received calling me a liar and a warmonger was heavy. Older was among those who deprecated this column. Later a friend reported that he had seen older with both a member of the Soviet Tass news agency and the editor of the Soviet information service, which was published by the Russian Embassy. As a result, I went to J. Edgar Hoover, told him of this report and asked whether he had any information regarding Older and a possible affiliation with communism. Mr. Hoover reported a week or so later that Older was listed as a member of the communist party in Washington. Next day I called Older in figuring that in conformity with standard communist practice he would deny membership in the party. But he didn't. He told the truth. Dazzling Authoress In a way this made things more difficult. If he had lied, it would have been easy to fire him. But when a man tells the truth you certainly owe it to him to listen to his story. So we had a long talk, during which Older said he had joined the party early in 1940 largely through the influence of Ruth McKenny, author of "My Sister Eileen," and editor of the New Masses from 1937 to 1946, who later broke with communism. The counsel for the Senate internal security committee states that Miss McKenny broke with the iodide, rather than cloud seeding from planes based at Banning, Battle said. Ground generators will be stationed along the Orange county coast line in the vicinity of Newport Harbor, and on Catalina Island, as a result of experience gained during the past season. The generators can be operated at nominal cost, said Battle, estimating the cost of silver iodide at about $30 per season per generator. They will be radio controlled, at a seasonal cost of about $300 per generator, which should effect a considerable saving over hand control, he said. The generators will be turned on and off by push-button remote control. Attending the meeting were: President J. W. Crill, Vice President E. T. Watson, Secretary W. D. Miller, Directors J. J. Denni, Merwin Wagner and Stephen Griset, of the Orange County Water district; Pres. Walter West, Santa Ana, and Secretary-Manager Glenn P. Allen, Orange, of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co., and John Tuffee, Placentia, member of the weather corporation board of directors. Squabble over Name For New Child Ends In Divorce Suit ATLANTA (UP)—"Annette" or "Antoinelette?" that question landed a couple in the divorce courts here. Mrs. Audrey Balding Payne Simms said she named the baby "Antoinelette" after her mother. Thereupon, she charged her husband, Arthur Benjamin Simms, III. "flew into a rage." Simms, she charged, changed the name to "Annette." She changed it back. Then, Mrs. Simms claimed her husband hit her and tore up all the birth announcements reading "Antoinelette." Mrs. Simms charged mental and physical cruelty. Superior Court Judge Jesse M. Wood granted Mrs. Simms' petition for divorce pending a final decree. He also awarded her temporary custody of their six-week-old daughter. Hal Boyle NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y.(P)—Laughter is an industry today—and cartooning is a big business. A top chuckle-smith in this field is Paul/Terry, creator of Terrytoons and a pioneer of the animated cartoon. Some 40-000-000 moviegoers each week enjoy the antics of his famous characters—Mighty Mouse, Dinky the Duck, the Two Terry Bears, and Heckle and Jeckle, the Talking Magpies. At 64, Terry well may have made more people laugh more often than any other man in history. But he himself has remained little known to the public. That suits him. "Put your roots in the minds of as many people as you can," he said. "Minds are all that count. Anybody who goes out for dollars alone is crazy." Soon his big rambling studio here will put out the 1,000th Terrytoon. That leaves the cheerful, portly artist only one goal in life: "To make life easier want to receive a time to retire—whether he's through mentally decide retire." Back in 1918 jobs as a comic paper artist to a cartoon. It was Herman," and months working living room to separate drawings minute feature. "Now our ca minutes," he said 8,000 to 10,000 takes 85 people produce one for the studio to toys a year no color. His star several million years and is well vision show. "We haven't format yet." I'm sure it will will children, cartoon. Terry won his cognition with h certainly owe it to him to listen to his story. So we had a long talk, during which Older said he had joined the party early in 1940 largely through the influence of Ruth McKenny, author of "My Sister Eileen," and editor of the New Masses from 1937 to 1946, who later broke with communism. The counsel for the Senate internal security committee states that Miss McKenny broke with the party at the same time Browder had his difficulties. Older's father had been born in Russian Poland, and Andy had been ardently anxious for peace between the United States and Russia. He said, however, that he had had a few tough policies to swallow which had jarred him—one of them being the party line against preparedness at a time when Stalin and Hitler were Allies in 1939, and later the sudden party switch to all-out preparedness. He said that he had been trying to get away from the party, hadn't attended meetings since 1944 and was fed up with highhanded communist tactics. However, he said that it was hard to get away when you were once a member because the comrades blackmailed you by threatening to expose your membership. He said he gradually had come around to my point of view that Russia was the chief disruptor of the peace and that her tactics under the Kremlin were just as imperialistic as under the Czar. Lippmann's Communist Secretary At first I thought I could wean Older completely away from communism and had some talks along this line with J. Edgar Hoover. I figured that if I could get Older to do a Budenz and take a militant stand against the party, he would become a highly useful citizen. However, I also had heard that the communists had planted a secretary on Walter Lippman and that it was standard communist practice to put men in key spots where they could influence public opinion. So figuring there was no use making life difficult by sitting on a continual keg of dynamite, I let Older go. I saw him occasionally after that and have reason to believe he threw his old associates overboard and straightened himself out politically. In fact, he became something of a small-scale capitalist, and in addition to his trade journals, operated a laundry. And since he cannot be here to defend himself, I would like to say that Andy Older was one of those unfortunate youngsters who, through the influence of persuasive personalities, got off to a bad start, but who saw things in a far clearer light before he died.

Bids are required for the entire life: “To make 1,000 more. I never want to retire. If a fellow sets a time that he’s going to retire—whether at 35, 55, or 65—he’s through as of the time he mentally decides he’s going to retire.” Back in 1915 Terry quit two jobs as a comic strip and newspaper artist to make his first film cartoon. It was called “Little Herman,” and it took him two months working alone in his own living room to make the 1,000 separate drawings for the five-minute feature. “Now our cartoons run seven minutes.” he said. “They have 8,000 to 10,000 drawings, and it takes 85 people eight months to produce one for the screen.” The studio turns out 26 cartoons a year now, all in technicolor. His staff also puts out several million comic books a year and is working on a television show. “We haven’t worked out the format yet.” Terry said. “But I’m sure it will stick basically to children, cartoons and animals.” Terry won his first wide recognition with his series of Aesop cartoons in the days of silent films. “I had to out-Aesop Aesop himself,” he recalled. “Aesop told 220 fables originally. But I eventually put out 240 more—460 altogether. Sometimes I wonder if Aesop is waiting for me to give me plenty for what I did to his stories.” Each cartoon now costs up to $50,000 to produce. Over the years Terry has ploughed his profits back into his studio, trying to improve the art of animation. “There is no sense in accumulating money,” he said. “Only people who are afraid try to accumulate money. I have more faith in the pictures I make than in dollars. The dollars I make are no good to me until I turn them into another picture.” Terry believes cartooning still has a fabulous future, and this is advice to the young kid learning to draw: “There’ll always be room for the top ones. But it’ll always be tough for the ones who don’t grow mentally. This trouble comes if they are too clever too young. They peter out and don’t develop. Anyone can learn to draw, but to succeed—growth must be endless.” He recently put his own philosophy in a lyric: “The Miracle” set to music by his old friend, Phil Scheib, who has composed original scores for all the Terrytoons. “Every day is a miracle to me,” he said. “Life has been good. The world is better than it was, and it is still getting better.” With a twinkle in his eye, Terry added stoutly: “And that’s no Aesop Fable.” LEGAL NOTICES Phil Scheib, who has composed original scores for all the Terry-toons.
