THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BESLER LEONARD KREIDT HOWARD WALL STANLEY JONES NEIL STANLEY G. E. MELLEN RALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Vacations... At this time of the year the call of the open road is not a gentle whisper but a full fledged shout. It's not easy to ignore. But who's ignoring it? In spite of war, high prices and economic controls the American people are setting forth undaunted on their vacations. By boat, train, plane and of course, the family car they're heading for the mountains and seashore and for foreign lands in the annual effort to get away from the daily grind. How many millions of dollars will be spent—or would it be billions? —can only be guessed. Travel this year should equal, or may even surpass the high water mark of 1950. Let's hope it does. In these days of trial and tension we all need a change of scenery to refresh us for our tasks. Pleasant statistics...

But even though they're pretty familiar (we all helped to create them) they make a happy average is 22.7 per cent.

No one was surprised at the flattering figures on California recently released by the U.S. Census Bureau. But even though they're pretty familiar (we all helped to create them) they make a happy topic for discussion. We're not bashful to admit that we're running rings around the other 47 states in just about every department of growth. And there's no reason to be bashful, that is. Our population increase since 1930 is 86.5 per cent. No other state has approached that and the national average is 22.7 per cent. The value of farm products sold went up 133 per cent as against a national average of 69 per cent. In manufacture, the value of factory output climbed 196 per cent—53 percentage points ahead of the national average. In wholesale trade, in retail sales, in home and car ownership, in political prestige—yes, in virtually every line the Golden State is enjoying a golden era. It's all very wonderful, and the way to keep it wonderful is for all of us to "stay in there" and keep pitching. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Although contractor McKinnie has until the first of September to finish the Episcopal church it will probably be finished much sooner. We judge so from the rapid progress heretofore made. Mr. D. K. Williams had the misfortune to break his arm yesterday afternoon. He was endeavoring to adjust some machinery at the planing mill at A. Guy Smith & Co.'s lumber yard, when the belt caught his arm, and carrying it on to the wheel caused a compound fracture. He was immediately taken to Dr. James Ellis, who promptly set the bones and did everything to render his patient comfortable. A large field of grain near San Juan Capistrano got on fire on Friday morning, but the citizens generally turned out and succeeded in stopping the conflagration before much damage was done. The board of directors of the Los Angeles Herald Publishing Company held a meeting yesterday. Sundry changes were made in the editorial conduct and management of the paper. Mr. W. A. sufferings were severe and he will be compelled to wear a close bandage about his jaw for several days. Mrs. T. J. Klein and daughters, Misses Fannie and Bessie of Milwaukee are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Weisel. 25 Years Ago Victor Schmelzer, young son of Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Schmelzer, climbed into an umbrella tree Tuesday in search of adventure—and found it. The branch on which he was standing gave way, precipitating him to the ground, a distance of ten feet. His left arm was broken at the wrist. The dahlia show committee of the Women's Club is sending requests to all parts of the county for candidates who wish to be queen at the Fourth Annual Orange County Dahlia show, to be held at Buena Park.

The board of directors of the Los Angeles Herald Publishing Company held a meeting yesterday. Sundry changes were made in the editorial conduct and management of the paper. Mr. W. A. Spaulding was appointed manager and Mr. T. Gardner will occupy the editorial chair so long and ably filled by Mr. J. M. Basset. Mr. Leonard Parker has just completed a brick drying establishment for the purpose of drying grapes. The dried grapes exhibited last year by Mr. Parker were equal to any we have ever seen. 50 Years Ago Adolph Luedke advertises that he is selling out his stock of watches, clocks, jewelry etc., at cost and below cost. Call on him for bargains in his line. Sheldon Littlefield has taken a position at the postoffice. George Peters, deputy county recorder, returned to his home in Santa Ana from Whitier on Saturday with his head covered with bandages, the result of his jaw suddenly slipping a cog without any apparent provocation at the dinner table. Peter was eating, and when he opened his mouth, his jaw became dislocated and locked. Two physicians were summoned and he was put under chloroform before they finally succeeded in restoring his face to a natural expression.

Jacob Lakeman and his son, Clifford, returned on Monday from a three-weeks auto trip to Lake county where he has property interests. Mr. Lakeman reports the weather delightful and the ranchers happy over a wonderful fruit crop which is just beginning to ripen, the pear crop being particularly abundant. PASTURE SUPPLIES LOW COST FEED COLUMBUS (UP)—Pasture supplies dairy feed at about half the cost of hay and silage and one-fourth the cost of grain, according to agricultural specialists at Ohio State University. For these reasons, farmers are being advised to provide pasture all season. Not only are pasture costs low, the experts state, but cows generally produce more when they get good grazing. Young pasture plants, they say, such as alfalfa-ladino-grass meadows, are high in protein calcium and carotene. The USGA sponsors two biennial international matches with the British Isles—the Walker Cup for men and the Curtis Cup for women.

The most widespread manhunt in history been conducted for Lean and Guy Burge agents have spent hours trying to trace missing men.

Every day that pat it more conclusive than Burgess have behind the Iron Curtain first predicted by the who started off with then came home.

Wilson has had many bitter battles with labor both before and after he came to Washington. However, the former General Electric boss pulled shoulder-to-shoulder with labor leaders last week in a closed-door assault on Congress for failing to pass effective price controls. More than 100 House members, including about 20 Republicans, heard Wilson, AFL President Bill Green and CIO secretary James Carey denounce the badly gutted Price Control bill as a boon to Joe Stalin and an invitation to ruinous inflation. “If the dollar goes down to 25 cents in value because Congress has failed to control prices, Joe Stalin will have gained a great victory without firing a shot,” the ex-head of General Electric declared at the secret meeting, called by House Rules Chairman Adolph Sabath of Illinois. “I do not agree with labor all the time, but I agree with labor on this. We are moving into a period of stepped-up production for defense that will greatly increase the pressure on our economy. Yet Congress is about to pass legislation that weakens controls on inflation instead of stiffening them. "I’m from big business and I’m proud of it," continued Wilson, "even though this spokesman for labor”—he pointed to CIO’s Jim Carey—“has ripped into me from time to time in the past. But period of stepped-up production for defense that will greatly increase the pressure on our economy. Yet Congress is about to pass legislation that weakens controls on inflation instead of stiffening them. "I'm from big business and I'm proud of it," continued Wilson. "even though this spokesman for labor"—he pointed to CIO's Jim Carey—"has ripped into me from time to time in the past. But we've got to realize—all of us, business, labor, the farmer and Congress—that we must pull together unselfishly if we are going to win the battle against inflation." Carey, AFL President Green and Charles Anderson, an official of the railroad brotherhoods, vigorously supported Wilson. Missing Diplomats In the background of the State Department's re-examination of 500 members of its staff from top bottom, including suspension of several career diplomats pending security hearings, was the mysterious disappearance of the two British diplomats. This scrutiny is no reflection on any particular person, and many of those suspended merely face technical charges. It is significant, furthermore, that the FBI lady informer, for many years a member of the communist party, recently testified that she knew of no communists in the State Department, though her job was to list membership of all Washington communists. The State Department, however, is taking precautions, lest the same thing happen to the American diplomatic service that happened to the British. For, with the disappearance of the two British career men, it was necessary to fly special courlers all over the world to change the secret codes of both the United States and Britain. In addition, almost every secret known to the two countries was exposed—probably to the Kremlin. Furthermore, this tragic loss of secrets could have been prevented by more alertness on the part of British authorities—which is why the State Department is staging a new self-inspection. The most widespread and thorough manhunt in history has now been conducted for Donald MacLean. Battle. Burgess was a sexual deviate, and an extensive search has been made to locate his friends in Washington. So far the search has proved futile. Burgess apparently had no close friends except for some of the dregs of the city. 2. Actually Burgess was no more than a diplomatic flunky attached to the British Embassy. Associates report that he was neurotic, unreliable and a bore. One associate described him as "an explosive mass of frustrations and inner conflicts." He should have been housecleaned long ago. 3. MacLean was of a different calibre. Only 38 years old and son of a distinguished father, he was the chief of the American division of the Foreign Office—a post in which he knew every vital Allied secret. In recent years, however, MacLean had become increasingly unstable. Due to overwork he had two nervous breakdowns. He had also acquired a personality unbalance somewhat similar to Burgess and his American wife was concerned. 4. Before Burgess and MacLean left together for France on May 25, Burgess, the bachelor, told friends he was going to "visit the continent" for several weeks. He was starting six week's leave from the Foreign Office; preparatory to looking for a new job. Significantly he didn't mention MacLean's name in any conversation about his forthcoming trip. MacLean, however, didn't have any official leave from his government post. That Friday, when he left home, MacLean told his pregnant wife: I'm going away for the week end and will be back Sunday night or Monday morning." He didn't say where he was going. And he didn't mention Burgess' Hal Boyle By HAY BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)—It is just as easy to talk as it ever was. But have you noticed how much harder it is to get anyone to listen to you? Try this test: "Walk up to anyone you know and start talking about any subject under the sun. Just look him in the eye, and keep talking. What happens? Within 30 seconds a restless look comes over his face. He begins to fidget. Then his eyes glaze, and go out of focus. In a few seconds more he stalks off like a sleepwalker, leaving you in the middle of an unfinned sentence. Why? He doesn't mean to be discourteous. It isn't that what you say is uninteresting to him. He is just a victim of video. Television has given man a new conditioned reflex. It has tired his eyes and ears together. He can't see anything unless he also hears something at the same time, and he can't hear anything unless he is also looking at something moving. If there is no action on the television screen, the addict falls asleep. Unless his eyes and ears are bombarded simultaneously, he falls into a coma. The same thing is true when he is away from his TV set, because it has hypnotized him into a new way of life. If you want to hold his attention, you have to grab him both by the eyes as well as by the ears. Once you know this simple psychological fact, however, it is easy to become an interesting conversationalist. All you have to do is put on a thrums a guitar and You Want to Keep Buy a Policy on You.

In addition, almost every secret known to the two countries was exposed—probably to the Kremlin. Furthermore, this tragic loss of secrets could have been prevented by more alertness on the part of British authorities—which is why the State Department is staging a new self-inspection. The most widespread and thorough manhunt in history has now been conducted for Donald MacLean and Guy Burgess. Allied agents have spent hundreds of hours trying to track down the missing men. They have combed the continent, searched the dives of Montemartre, inspected the waterfronts of Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Le Havre; have even checked as far away as Argentina. But so far every trail has led up a blind alley. Every day that passes makes it more conclusive that MacLean and Burgess have disappeared behind the Iron Curtain—as was first predicted by the companion who started off with them and then came home. Meanwhile here is the story of what happened, as intelligence officers have carefully pieced it together. It is a story illustrating the need for housecleaning all diplomatic deadwood before it is too late. A Neurotic Failure 1. Before leaving the United States in May, Guy Burgess had become a diplomatic failure. Perhaps as a result, he had also become an outspoken anti-American. There is no record, however, that he engaged in any pro-Russian activities while in this country, but he had been asked to leave the United States because of drunken-driving and a strong protest by Virginia's Governor John S. "WARLIKE" PEACE SONGS VIENNA (AP)—What is war and what is peace? East Europe's communists use "peace" as the biggest, most frequent word in their newspapers. It is part of the communist campaign that Russia is the only power against war. But sometimes the communists get their words mixed up. The Hungarian newspaper "Magyar Nemzet" recently reported: "Our composers are writing noble, warlike peace songs for our peace congress. husband."

OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER PERHAPS A PERSON should not bite the hand that feeds him, but at times I find that the advertising we read, see and hear is boresome, disgusting and even downright revolting. This is not in reference to local advertisers such as Penney's, the SQR Store, Lake's, Louis Hennig, Lee's Nursery or all the other local merchants who advertise bargains advantageous to merchant and consumer alike. My gripe is directed at the advertising boys in the multi-million-dollar bracket who try to mesmerize the long-suffering populace into smoking a certain brand of lung-rotting cigarette, or using a certain type of tooth paste. So far as the cigarettes are concerned, despite the foolish claims of national "surveys" and testimonials from mythical "eminent medical authorities" the cold fact remains that one brand tastes the same as another and they will all keep your blood pressure up. And the tooth paste ads. Any sane dentist will tell you that carbonate of soda, with a dash of peppermint added, will be as efficacious in cleaning your choppers as any of the hundreds of brands of colored, flavored library pastes now on the market.

Anybody today can be a real conversationist if he learns this secret of having both eye-and-car appeal. The only problem in the future is the development of color television. That means before long if you ask a friend the time of day you won't even get an answer unless you are holding a puppy in your hands and wearing a Christmas necktie and plaid hair.
