KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIDT City Editor HOWARD HALL News Editor STANLEY JONE Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager G. E. MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Center st. truck traffic ... Yesterday afternoon Joe R. Thompson, Anaheim's very able Planning commission chairman, directed the thoughts of his fellow commissioners to the very real problem of the mammoth trucks which whiz up and down Center street as they move along California Highway 18. Center st., Anaheim, unfortunately is the main drag for the heavy traffic from Long Beach, and other beach areas, to the east (and vice-versa). The big oil trucks, cement trucks, transports, etc., etc., which constantly roll up and down Center st. shouldn't happen to any city. If you want to get commercial about it, there is nothing the drivers of these trucks contribute to Anaheim retail stores on Center st. 1. Reroute the truck traffic onto Orangethorpe ave. before it gets into Anaheim. 2. Reroute the traffic along the southern edge of Anaheim probably on Vermont st. Of the two choices we favor completely No. 2. Connecting roads must be built at the ends of Center street to the by-pass route. Orangethorpe is almost a couple of miles from Center The south. WASHINGTON — Oregon be the showdown state where eral Eisenhower finally made his mind whether "to run" to run—and on what tickle. The situation in Oregon outlined to like's political of-staff, Senator Jim D. Pennsylvania, the other Robert Leits Jones, publish the Salem, Ore., Capital Jo Jones pointed out that C has a primary ruling when any person can be entered race by a petition of 1000 times — whether the can wants his name entered on. Thus Eisenhower's name be entered in the Oregon dential primary by 1000 friends, entirely without sent; and as a means of test his political strength. The Oregon primary has an interesting angle, Jones exe to Senator Duff. The state ney general has ruled that didate can run unless his pfillation is known, thus Eiser would be forced, at that t be stamped either as a Rep or a Democrat. Since the Oregon prim May 16 and since all names to be filed 90 days in ad the showdown for Eisenwould be sometime in Feb. Note—It's a good bet that friends—and he has a lot northwest—will toss his h the ring through the Oregon mary. (and vice-versa). The big oil trucks, cement trucks, transports, etc., etc., which constantly roll up and down Center st. shouldn't happen to any city. If you want to get commercial about it, there is nothing the drivers of these trucks contribute to Anaheim retail stores on Center st. If you want to get practical about it, there is plenty to be said against the heavy truck traffic. If you'll watch some of those trucks you'll note that many a driver of a behemoth is in a hurry to get out of town. That presents a hazard to life and limb. On busy days there is unusual congestion caused by the traffic. Folks who spend a good part of their lives on Center st. point out that obnoxious fumes come from many of these trucks. Well, we all could go on pointing out the complete undesirability of having truck traffic constantly pounding up and down the main street. Mr. Thompson suggested the Planning commission make some sound recommendations on the problem. We hope he has his way. There are two ways to whip the IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Mr. M. Kraemer was in town last night. A pelican, measuring seven feet from tip to tip, was captured alive yesterday by D. K. Williams. The bird was found sitting in one of the large poplar trees on Lemon street, and was easily knocked from its perch with a long pole. It is probable that it was stuffed by the heat of the sun. Mr. Geo. E. Milliken has established an agency for the Los Angeles ice works in Anaheim. All well on the upper part of his farm, securing 1½ inch flow of excellent water at the depth of 137 feet. 50 Years Ago Alex Wright was in town the other day, talking to a party of friends, on the sidewalk, about birthdays and other things. "My birthday comes on July 22," said Alex, in answer to an interrogation concerning it. "Funny thing happened the other day. I was talking to Frank Porter and he says, 'Wright, you're getting gray. How old are you?' Born in 1946, I told him: 'Same here!' 1. Reroute the truck traffic onto Orangethorpe ave. before it gets into Anaheim. 2. Reroute the traffic along the southern edge of Anaheim probably on Vermont st. Of the two choices we favor completely No. 2. Connecting roads must be built at the ends of Center street to the by-pass route. Orangethorpe is almost a couple of miles from Center. The southern route is half the distance. If Orangethorpe becomes the truck throughway, then the truck traffic from Anaheim's abuilding industrial area in the south end would filter right through Anaheim to Orangethorpe—defeating the very thing we are seeking. Commercial traffic on the north will naturally go onto Orangethorpe. Commercial traffic in the south must be routed out of town quickly. The shortest and most practical truck by-pass is along the southern limits of Anaheim. It will mean building a connecting street with Highway 18, but that can be accomplished by the city, county, and state Highway commission working together. Think it over. It's a very real problem. We hope Mr. Thompson gets some action—and fast. Note—It’s a good bet that friends—and he has a lot northwest—will toss his hat the ring through the Oregon mary. Dressy General When this column told hospital Emil C. Kiel, commander Air Force in the Caribbean sent his plane all the way Ecuador to Panama to get her jacket for a dinner given by the Ecuadorian defense officer, the U.S. Air Force or Kiel, wanting to know if “Pearson story” was accurate. Gen. Kiel replied that he sent a plane back from Ecuador Panama, but that he had not it to bring back his dinner. However, officials of the fense Department pressed further, finally got an admit that though the plane had brought back the general’s inner jacket, it had brought his “full dress uniform.” Note—Both Secretary Marshall and Secretair Finletter take a tough of generals who use govern plans for personal errand 2000-mile trip for the dress form cost the taxpayers $4500, and Kiel will probably out on his next promotion result. MacArthur Report President Truman is pro-Democratic Senators to write port on the MacArthur invition. They had planned to about a report, because they ed a majority would not ap blasting MacArthur. However president believes Chairman Russell of Georgia is enough to accept the event which most observers const have been clearly and overingly against MacArthur knows that Russell’s support almost guarantee a major port criticizing the general. Propaganda Hurts Reports from behind the Curtain indicate that one for the seizure of AP corre Mr. Geo. E. Milliken has established an agency for the Los Angeles ice works in Anaheim. All parties desiring ice can leave their orders with J. J. Hill at Langenberger's store. A horse race is to take place on the Coyote Rancho in about two weeks, for $100 a side. There are four sets of artesian well tools at work in the Westminster Colony. A party from Guadalupe Rancho seeking lands, came into town yesterday afternoon. Our hoodlums have found a new outlet for their vivacious spirits, and yesterday morning several dwelling houses and stores were found ornamented with obscene placards. We would warn these boys who think it is simply sport that if they are detected in the mischief, as they surely will be sooner or later, they will not be dealt with leniently, but that all which the law can do will be employed to punish them. Rev. Mr. Allis returned on the train last evening, looking well and hearty. His many friends in Anaheim will be glad to welcome him. Mr. J. C. Edwards of Westminster has just finished an artesian 50 Years Ago Alex Wright was in town the other day, talking to a party of friends, on the sidewalk, about birthdays and other things. "My birthday comes on July 22," said Alex, in answer to an interrogation concerning it. "Funny thing happened the other day. I was talking to Frank Porter and he says, 'Wright, you're getting gray. How old are you?' Born in 46, I told him. 'Same here,' he says. Come to find out his birthday comes the same day as mine, him and me is twins. I have known Porter for 30 years. I was just out from Concord and was putting in a crop of barley just north of the old Bremmerman place, when Porter came along and told me how to sow it, but he said I would never raise a crop on that land. But I did. The late rains came along just right and some of it went four tons to the acre. That was 30 years ago and there has never been a crop raised on the place since. Rud Bentz has been confined to his home for some weeks past with typhoid fever. It is hoped that his strong constitution will be able to withstand the attack and that he will soon be on the way to recovery. 25 Years Ago The combination of a warm day and a cool inviting pool of water proved too much for 20 boys Saturday, and they proceeded to enjoy themselves in the Anaheim Union Water Company's irrigation reservoir near Yorba Linda. The law, in the person of Deputy Sheriff Harry Carter, appeared on the scene and the boys were arrested on charges of trespassing on private property. Monday they aped before Justice of the Peace O. Kuchel, in Anaheim, Judgichel, remembering that he a boy himself at one time, rushed them with a warning. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rilee and Mrs. Clem Staples and Beatrice Staples, a former dentist of Anaheim returned thirteen weeks from a two-outing at Bishop and in the Sierra. They spent some time ing in the mountain stream report an extremely pleasant trip. WASHINGTON — Oregon may be the showdown state where General Eisenhower finally makes up his mind whether "to run or not to run"—and on what ticket. The situation in Oregon was outlined to Ike's political chief-of-staff, Senator Jim Duff of Pennsylvania, the other day by Robert Leits Jones, publisher of the Salem, Ore., Capital Journal. Jones pointed out that Oregon has a primary ruling whereby any person can be entered in the race by a petition of 1000 signatures — whether the candidate wants his name entered or not. Thus Eisenhower's name could be entered in the Oregon presidential primary by 1000 of his friends, entirely without his consent, and as a means of testing out his political strength. The Oregon primary has another interesting angle, Jones explained to Senator Duff. The state attorney general has ruled that no candidate can run unless his party affiliation is known, thus Eisenhower would be forced, at that time, to be stamped either as a Republican or a Democrat. Since the Oregon primary is May 16 and since all names have to be filed 90 days in advance, the showdown for Eisenhower would be sometime in February. Note—It's a good bet that Ike's friends—and he has a lot in the northwest—will toss his hat into the ring through the Oregon pri- THE FATHER OF THE BRIDE STALINS DAUGHTER IS WED AMID GLITTER OF A TWO-WEEK CELEBRATION REPORTED COSTING $900,000 AS VODKA AND CHAMPAGNE FLOWED DAY AND NIGHT! -AND ONE FOR THE PROLETARIAT! Dressy General When this column told how General Emil C. Kiel, commander of the Air Force in the Caribbean, had sent his plane all the way from Ecuador to Panama to get his dinner jacket for a dinner given him by the Ecuadorian defense minister, the U. S. Air Force queried Kiel, wanting to know if the Pearson story" was accurate. Gen. Kiel replied that he hadnt a plane back from Ecuador to Panama, but that he had not sent to bring back his dinner jacket. However, officials of the Defense Department pressed him further, finally got an admission that though the plane had not brought back the general's dinner jacket, it had brought back its "full dress uniform." Note — Both Secretary of Defense Marshall and Secretary for Air Finletter take a tough view of generals who use government agencies for personal errands. The 100-mile trip for the dress uniform cost the taxpayers about $500, and Kiel will probably lose out on his next promotion as a result. MacArthur Report President Truman is pressing democratic Senators to write a report on the MacArthur investigation. They had planned to forget about a report, because they fear a majority would not agree toasting MacArthur. However, the president believes Chairman Dick Russell of Georgia is honest enough to accept the evidence, which most observers consider to have been clearly and overwhelmingly against MacArthur. He shows that Russell's support would most guarantee a majority reert criticizing the general. Propaganda Hurts Reports from behind the Iron Britain indicate that one reason for the seizure of AP correspondent Hal Boyle By PAUL C. DITZEL (For Hal Boyle) CHICAGO, (AP) — Give me a smoky basement fire to tangle with and you can keep your baseball games and television. "I'll never hope for a fire, but when the engines dash by you can bet your boots I'll grab mine and take off for the blaze, pulling on my firecoat and hat. I'm a fire Buff. I like to go to fires and grab a hoseline and follow firemen into a "ripe" working fire. Any Buff worth his boots will bolt from bed on a wintry morning to take in an extra alarm blaze. Buffs got their name from the horse-drawn steamer days when fire engine chasers huddled in buffalo robes at fires in sub-zero temperatures. We also are known as "Fire-Fans," "Sparks," and "Red Hots." Many of us frustrated firemen have fire alarm registers or radios next to our beds. We keep our boots and coats nearby. Like any Buff whose eyes glisten as the sirens set up a crescendo of walls I take plenty of abuse from smoke and heckling friends. Why do I chase fire engines? I don't know. Can you explain why you memorize batting averages? Best answer a fire Buff gives to the raised eyebrow is, "Show me a guy who doesn't like to watch a fire or the drama of a 100-foot aerial ladder truck threading through traffic and I'll show you a bore." On my days off I often head for a busy fire station where friendly firemen always welcome another hand. bunkroom. The clatter of the telegraph key and ding-a-ding of the register sounding alarms in other parts of the city fills you into semi-sleep. Then it hits. The bunkroom lights snap on. The waker alarm bell orders you out of bed and into your boots. Grab for the pole and slide down. Squirm into your coat and reach for the back rail of the rig. Swing aboard as the 1000 gallon pumper causes itself out of the station. You're on your way to another blaze. I've gone to at least 200 fires since I became a Buff. Some were minor, others were tragic. I've choked on smoke at tenement houses and waded through water at a four-alarm blaze in Chicago's stockyards. I've seen fires in New York, Buffalo, Washington D.C., and Toronto. Ont. When I visited Europe last summer I took in fires in London, Paris, Stockholm, and Copenhagen with foreign fire chiefs. One Christmas I helped carry the body of a priest from a blazing rectory at a two-alarm fire in Buffalo. Last winter I watched helplessly with my fireman pals while eight persons dropped into the flames during a five-alarm in a Chicago hotel. Buffs in many cities have formed clubs complete with fire museums and stations where they keep siren and bell-equipped trucks ready to roll on all second alarms to serve coffee to tired firemen. Next time the fire equipment clings by, look closely. The fellow clinging to the hook and ladder may be your local banker, a prominent lawyer or the corner grocer—all good Buffs and good firemen too.

Propaganda Hurts Reports from behind the Iron Curtain indicate that one reason for the seizure of AP correspondent William Oatis by Czechoslovakia was that American propaganda through the Voice of America and radio Free Europe is hurting. When the emmies want to get something out of the U.S.A., their crudest but most successful technique is to seize an American citizen, and hold him as a hostage until we come across with the ransom money. The reported ransom money in Czechoslovakia is to curtail the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, both really hurting the immunist government. In fact, the Voice of America has had the Czech government in a state of retreat. Before Foreign Minister Clever Property. Monday they appeared before Justice of the Peace Charles Muchel, in Anaheim, Judge Kuelel, remembering that he was boy himself at one time, released them with a warning. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Riley, Mr. and Mrs. Clem Staples and Miss Matrice Staples, a former resident of Anaheim returned the first week from a two-week visit at Bishop and in the High Terra. They spent some time fishing in the mountain streams and report an extremely pleasant trip trip. I don't know. Can you explain why you memorize batting averages? Best answer a fire Buff gives to the raised eyebrow is, "Show me a guy who doesn't like to watch a fire or the drama of a 100-foot aerial ladder truck threading through traffic and I'll show you a bore." On my days off I often head for a busy fire station where friendly firemen always welcome another hand. Comes bedtime and you arrange your boots and trousers near your bed in the upstairs mentis was purged, the Voice made a categoric prediction that he and eight other top Czechs would be arrested. For weeks, the Voice pounded home this prediction, giving the exact names of the prospective victims. The Czechs listened but were skeptical. Then suddenly Clementis was arrested. With him were arrested four of the eight others the Voice had named. All Czechoslovakia seethed at the news. The accuracy of the Voice of America was commented on everywhere, and its listening audience has doubled. More than ever, Czechs are tuning in on the Voice to see who will be purged next. Note—Despite the State Department's remarkable propaganda job, the budget of the Voice of America and other propaganda projects has been slashed to ribbon. Congressmen who have been doing the slashing have been invited to come to the State Department briefing room and get the story—much of it confidential—of what the department is doing. However, only two or three have bothered to get acquainted with the activities of the agency whose work they pass upon. - Colony QuipsBy the Cassette Farm Editor HAD A CHAT with a very devout Sunkist grower over a cup of coffee the other morning. We discussed the pros and cons of the valencia deal, the prorate, the Exchange and gave them all the "once over lightly." He said, in a chatty manner, that he did not like the things this column said about the Exchange. Its hired help and the references to the monument sometimes herein referred to as the Kremlin. Before we had a chance to get tips he said that he realized we had a right to our opinion just as he had a right to his'n. Show me the newspaper that won't fawn at your feet for a statement like that. Did you ever hear of an "Iron Curtain" held up by a certain Kremlin in Europe? You did? Well then you must have realized that the "Iron Curtain" around the citrus business in California is as effective as its namesake in Europe. So why not say Kremlin when you want thinking growers to realize what you are talking about? DID YOU EVER hear of censorship? We don't like it. Anybody who thinks we don't have it in the California citrus picture has got his wires crossed. Did you know, too, that the OAC, your(?) prorate board, wants no publicity. Why? Do the "boys" up in the Fifth st. Kremlin welcome a newsman into a committee meeting when some delicate subject, which will affect hundreds of growers, is discussed? They do in Florida. Do you remember the "cheaper fruit" contract story about a year ago? There was a clamp put on the story in California. It leaked out and was printed in Florida. How do you like that. Wilcox of the California Exchange signed a contract with Fox of Minute Maid for LESS money than Minute Maid had paid other California processors and the growers whose fruit was being "given away" were not told about the deal. Fox went home to Florida; bragged about how cheap he bought California oranges from the Exchange and the Florida papers and their very fine staff of reporters picked up the news and printed it. Then this column saw it and started to tell all it could find out about the deal. Do you remember the "cheaper fruit" contract story about a year ago?

Then this column saw it and started to tell all it could find out about the deal. That act made us few friends in the Kremlin. WE WILL STOP calling the Sunkist monument on Fifth st. the Kremlin when the censorship and the terrible clamp on the news is broken down. That's a deal. Newsmen in Florida spill nothing that will hurt Florida growers—but there are no "sacred cows" they will bow down before. California newsmen would also do a fine job for California growers if the clamps were taken off. The "news releases" are simply an attempt to control what the California newspapers print. Florida, too, has a few propagandists who put out "news letters" to a freelist under a subsidy from one of the big plants who "don't like nobody." Why do they do this? For the same reason it is done in California: to fill the grower into a sense of lethargy so they can get his fruit easier and have no trouble when they "give" him his money. Don't forget the whole deal is for MONEY. Our point is that the grower, who is the most important for he is the employer, does not get his rightful share. Clamps are placed on news to keep the TRUTH away from those who have a right to it. Our Kremlin has its "Iron curtain" and we don't like it. It is time the growers demanded light on the citrus business and lots of it. When a man wants to talk "off the record" then what's the use?

When the board of trade asked for a dandelion-spraying campaign, honey producer K. E. Baines told the town council dandelions are a big factor in honey production. Spraying might be harmful to the vast number of bees in the area, he said, besides destroying an important bee food. Tisdale recently chose a new slogan for itself, "The beehive of the north," because of its large district honey industry. SPRAY ARGUMENT IS A HONEY TISDALE, Sask.
