THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BEESLER LEONARD KREIDT HOWARD HALL STANLEY JONES NEIL STANLEY G. E. MELLEN RALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Big con man... Sooner or later that ubiquitous clan of evil-doers, the confidence men were bound to come up with a new atomic-age twist on the ancient and dishonorable racket of selling the Brooklyn Bridge. They jailed one of them last week back east. His pitch was a dilly. He represented himself as a superlobbyist with inside government connections. He told his victims the Government was "going underground" for shelter from possible A-bomb attacks—and all government buildings would in consequence be declared surpris shortly. This crafty phony offered to obtain for his clients—in return for huge at next to nothing. The late great comedian, W. C. Fields, who had seen a lot of the cynical phases of life on his way up, dramatized hilariously the human weakness on which the con man preys. It is the itch to get something for nothing by cutting the corners of above-board conduct just a wee, wee bit. Fields' picture was aptly titled, "You can't cheat an honest man." The con man knows that; but he also knows, human nature being as it is, that he'll never run out of prospects. No doubt some forward-looking culprit already is laying plans for the sale of the moon—just as soon as space- WASHINGTON (a) — The gravity passed out by the administration for building fence plants is so juicy that the anti-Truman Chicago Tribune wants to get in on it. The Tribune, believe it or not, has applied to the National production authority for special benefits for building a $285.17 enlargement for its posing room, engraving pressroom, and circulation. This seems to be a long way from mobilization. Yet a man was made to amortize the addition to the Tribune five years—the same benefit to manufacturers of guns, airplanes, and war goods. In a way you can't blame Chicago Tribune for trying horn in on this tax gravy many companies have appalled—and got away with it—the become one of the biggest aways of mobilization. However, the Tribune's are interesting. It stated official justification for the gravy that the newspaper tries has been accorded a position relative to other tries since 1789; that news were considered essential tries in the last two wars; that the press is the only medium that can be used plain and interpret comp governmental regulations.

He told his victims the Government was "going underground" for shelter from possible A-bomb attacks—and all government buildings would in consequence be declared surplus shortly. This crafty phony offered to obtain for his clients—in return for huge advance fees to finance his "inside manipulations"—long-term leases of high-rent properties. Rules of the road... A new record in auto tourist travel is being set. According to a count made by checks at the State's border stations, nearly 600,000 out-of-state cars, carrying more than 1,500,000 passengers, visited California in the first six months of the year—an increase of 28 per cent over the first half of 1950! These visitors are most welcome in hospitable California—but safety officials and highway authorities, pointing out that increased traffic always increases highway accident hazards, are appealing to visitors and Californians alike to observe every rule for highway safety. Public co-operation is also urged by William H. Fairbank. fire prevention officer of the California Division of Forestry, in helping "stop our most shameful waste" through forest and range fires. Officer Fairbank asks: When you light a match, be sure it's out before you throw it away. Crush out tobacco butts or pipe ashes. When driving, use the ash tray. To extinguish a campfire, drown it with water, then stir it and drown it again. All rules of the summer highway are simple enough to follow—and simple observance of them will preclude a great deal of needless tragedy. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The Literary society on Monday evening decided that savage ma-trons have no right to the soil. A resolution was passed admitting ladies to membership in the society without payment of the customary initiation fee. They will, however, be required to contribute their monthly dues. A committee consisting of Messrs. Lynell, Guinn and Athearn were appointed to ascertain the cost of establishing it free reading room in Anaheim under the auspices of the society. They will report at the next meeting under the direction of Oscar Renner and Louis Kroeger. Walter Crowther is expected to arrive today from his trip to the Pan American Exposition and other points east. Charlie Allgeyer was in from Brookhurst yesterday.

After visiting France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland, Mr. Schumacher is perfectly satisfied to remain a citizen of the United States. Wherever he went, he said, he was impressed with the poverty of the people. Mrs. Eliza Lybarger, widow of the late Simon Lybarger, and mother of Kenyon Lybarger and Mrs. Edgar Hartung, died at her home on West Broadway Sunday night at the age of 70. She has lived in Anaheim 18 years. According to librarians and book-store managers of Santa Ann, the most popular book written and published this year is "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds," by Anita Loos. It seems that Santa Ana people prefer this book to take on their vacations. Anita Loos is known to many Anaheim having frequently visited father, R. Beers Loos, who employed on an Anaheim paper for a couple of years. Loos has been a popular writer for years. All of Doubanks' early successes were ten by her. WASHINGTON MERRY GO-ROUND WHY DO WE ALWAYS GET SUCH DRIVERS? The tax navy passed out by the Truman administration for building defense plants is so juicy that even the anti-Truman Chicago Tribune wants to get in on it. The Tribune, believe it or not, has applied to the National Production authority for special tax benefits for building a $2,022.885.17 enlargement for its composing room, engraving room, pressroom, and circulation room. This seems to be a long way off from mobilization. Yet a request has made to amortize this new addition to the Tribune plant in five years—the same benefit given to manufacturers of guns, tanks, airplanes, and war goods. In a way you can't blame the Chicago Tribune for trying to born in on this tax gravity. So many companies have applied for—and got away with it—that it's become one of the biggest giveways of mobilization. However, the Tribune's reasons are interesting. It stated in its official justification for the tax navy that the newspaper industry has been accorded a special ration relative to other industries since 1789; that newspapers were considered essential industries in the last two wars; and that the press is the only daily medium that can be used to explain and interpret complicated governmental regulations. Finally, the Tribune justified its proposed tax benefits by stating Finally, the Tribune justified its proposed tax benefits by stating that each day it carries a large number of classified help-wanted jobs, and by so doing, it is, in effect, maintaining an active labor market in its columns, thus helping the war effort. What Col. McCormick apparently forgot, however, was first his two long editorials warning newspapers not to become obligated to the government. Second, he apparently forgot about the Chicago Tribune's record in printing the entire secret mobilization plan of the U.S. Army one day before Pearl Harbor, and later printing information about the Battle of Midway which, according to the Navy, ripped off the Japanese that we were breaking their secret code, special grand jury was called to prosecute the Tribune, but the action was later abandoned. NOTE—Another company asking for special tax benefits is the Roberg Paper Mills of Green Bay, is, which considers toilet paper essential to mobilization. It asked for tax amortization on $1,600-100 for buildings and machinery to increase its manufacture of toilet tissue. Both this and the Tribune's application were denied. Emotional Frankness Sen. Matt Neeley, theplainliking West Virginian, was riding in a Senate elevator. "How long will the Senate stay in session this summer?" asked the elevator boy. "The whole summer," replied the frankest member of the Senate. "The old windbags are afraid they go home, they won't get their pictures in the papers." Commies Quote Taft It will come as a surprise to good old Bob Taft, a stanch conservative, that he is getting to be one of the most widely quoted Americans in the communist propaganda network. By HAL BOYLE BELLE FOURCHE, S. D., (AP)—There's a rancher out here who is raising fur-bearing cows. He did it by crossing buffalo bulls and Indian Brahma cows, and the freakish-looking critter he has developed may be the forerunner of a new breed of quick growing range cattle. He calls it the "Brahmalo." When Pete Rosander started his project nine years ago his fellow ranchers told him it was a foolish waste of time. "But when people try to tell you that you can't do anything, you get your back bowed," said Pete. Crippled from years of range riding, Rosander bought a private herd of 33 buffaloes in 1942. He slaughtered all but nine calves. "I kind of hated to kill the little fellows," he recalled. "I decided I would cross them with cattle and see what happened." He already knew what happened when you cross wild buffaloes with ordinary Hereford cows. A Texas rancher spent a million dollars to find out. In such breedings — the result is known as a Cattalo—three out of four Hereford cows usually die in calf birth. Rosander decided he might be able to cut down this mortality rate by cross-breeding buffaloes with rugged Brahma cows. "I wanted to get a grade of cattle that would eat less, grow quicker, and produce more meat than ordinary cattle," he said. "And I wanted fur on them so they could stand the winter better." A fur-bearing cow? The other ranchers really laughed. TO HAVE A FLOOR or not to have a floor under the price picture of California oranges is the latest thing to come to the minds of the ill-served growers who tend the goose that takes golden eggs which pay the Kremlin overhead. The ending of that last statement might be a bit too abrupt some. But try to prove it false. The auction market has been doing fine for the past weeks. But, with the abyss of August looking us in the face OAC, prorate board to some, raised this week's shipments, increase will hit the eastern market at the time it tradicts hits its lowest spot. Why they do this sort of thing is not to say. But they did. And you need not get mad at us for mourning it out. But the Florida Mutual idea applied to us here in Californias simply bring the California more money. That can be proved. Yet Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Wilcox, who we PAY to get dough for citrus (at least we think that is what they get paid), they will have none of it. We have this on the best of auctions we would like to know WHY? Have they something BETTER to offer? Do they like it better the way it is? WHY MUST WE ALWAYS sit at the whim of a group ofSIONals who know more about the fruit business in one minute than the whole Kakoodle of our hired help will ever know. We want a little of that back: our hired help have done a good job look for themselves. The market, as this is being written, is good. The grow thankful. But let us not forget for a single second that a Cattalo would put a realistic floor UNDER our valencias EVEN they are in the market. If this market stays good, we hope it will. then we must NOT forget that we need a Mutual GROWER'S protection. It has worked in Florida for the past several years and growers down there would not do without it now—and don't anyone tell you different. The priceless ingredient in a market is confidence and that reason Florida will continue to market her tremendous crop real money for the grower. We California simply MUST have this protection. WONDER IF Wilcox and Armstrong have heard about this tion being circulated among Sunkist growers? It has been whirled in our ear and we DO NOT agree with that sort of thing. That The whole summer," replied the frankest member of the Senate. "The old windbags are afraid they go home, they won't get their pictures in the papers." Commiss Quote Taft It will come as a surprise to good old Bob Taft, a stanch conservative, that he is getting to be one of the most widely quoted Americans in the communist propaganda network. Here is one interesting quote from Taft picked up by U.S. monarchs who reported that it was used by Soviet commentator Leontyev all tongues to prove the peace-aims of the U.S.S.R. as against the belligerency of the U.S.A. "It is no longer possible to deny that this (Atlantic) pact has become a tool of the aggressive policy of the United States, Britain and France. At a recent speech in the United States, Senator Taft openly admitted that the Atlantic Pact is an outright military alliance which would produce an armaments race and that such a race had always led to war." Look at the label when you're buying orange marmalade and make sure you get the style you want. It comes with the peel sliced into thin strips, and it also comes "chopped." Eocations. Anita Loos is well known to many Anaheim people, having frequently visited her mother, R. Beers Loos, who was employed on an Anaheim newspaper for a couple of years. Miss Loos has been a popular scenario writer for years. All of Doug Fairbank's early successes were written by her. Rosander decided might be able to cut down this mortality rate by cross-breeding buffaloes with rugged Brahma cows. "I wanted to get a grade of cattle that would eat less, grow quicker, and produce more meat than ordinary cattle," he said. "And I wanted fur on them so they could stand the winter better." A fur-bearing cow? The other ranchers really laughed. "I tried for seven years before I got my first Brahmalo calf." Pete said. "I began to think my neighbors were right." The trouble was a pasture caste system. The Brahma cows thought the buffalo bulls were just plain barbarian boors. The buffalo bulls thought the Brahma cows were stuck up snobs. "Finally I took a buffalo bull calf away from his mother and raised him on a range cow mixed among the Brahmas," Pete said. "He got the idea he was a Brahma bull, and butted away the buffalo bulls every time they came near." Charmed by this chivalry, the sleek Brahma cows forgave the deluded buffalo's rough ways and unshaven look. Romance followed, and two years ago Pete got his first Brahmalo. It had a Brahma-shaped body, and the head and fur of a buffalo. At two it now is as big as a four-year-old steer. Today the rancher has a herd of 13 Brahmales, and the neighbors who scoffed at him are now trying to buy them. But Pete won't sell. He wants to go on breeding and experimenting. Knowing nothing of textbook genetics, he asked a scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture what he should do next. He got this answer: "If a man is dumb enough to try to cross a tropical cow with a buffalo—and then goes ahead and does it—I wouldn't say he couldn't do anything." The same scientist then told Pete he had done more in seven years in this line than the government had in 75 years. And he helped get the rancher 10 more buffaloes to continue his work. "Whenever I go to Washington," Pete laughed, "they ask me more questions than I ask them." Small magnets, clipped to a recipe card, will hold it on a metal cabinet so that you can read the card easily while you're cooking. This will also keep the card clean and out of the way. GROWER'S protection. It has worked in Florida for the past several years and growers down there would not do without it now—and don't anyone tell you different. The priceless ingredient in a market is confidence and that reason Florida will continue to market her tremendous crop real money for the grower. We California simply MUST have this protection. WONDER IF Wilcox and Armstrong have heard about their being circulated among Sunkist growers? It has been when in our ear and we do NOT agree with that sort of thing. That we mention it openly right here. We are not a party to it nor be. For the record we want to say that these men are honorable capable and that it is simply because we disagreed with many Exchange marketing practices that we talk plainly and bluntly them. We have no axe to grind, either, and only want the grower get cost of production and a little better. This last paragraph sound like double-talk but its publicity makes our position clear. If this market only holds for another six weeks we will the way to a good valencia season. With a Mutual we would worry on that score. Why can't we growers have an independent study, by our own what the California citrus industry needs and then try those findings into practice for the good of all? Wonder if change would go along for something like that? Don't let this good market make you forget about how few weeks ago. VIRGINIA SETTLERS HONORED—U.S. Ambassador Walter S.

SLICE OF HAM Mail Bag To The Editor: I enclose the following, believing it will be of interest to some of you readers. A daughter of one of Anaheim's pioneer families, Carrie A. Bird, passed away at her home at 1214 W. 31st st., Los Angeles, about 3 am. Sunday, July 29. Born March 29, 1872, she was the daughter of Benjamin F. E. and Mary O. Kellogg, who had settled on the section at the southwest corner of what is now Euclid ave. and Ball dr., some two years previously. Part of this property is still in the family, being occupied by their granddaughter, Mrs. Rudolph Schwartzback and her husband. On June 1, 1895, Carrie Kellogg was married to Richard Neil Bird, who passed away January 2, 1940 after a seven-year illness. The death of Mrs. Bird followed a two-year illness. She is survived by a son and two daughters, Richard F. Bird of Los Angeles, Mrs. Carol Jack of Brawley, and Mrs. Eunice Wilcox of Strathmore, Calif. She was the last survivor of her generation of the Kellogg family. Richard F. Bird 1214 W. 31st St. Los Angeles 7, Calif. MISLEADING AD MISLEADS THIEF Jacksonville, Fla., U.S.A. — A furniture store rigged up a display of a bushel basket with dollar bills all but spilling over its top, using the money as a come-on in an advertising contest. Someone broke in at night, made off with the basket and what he probably thought was a small fortune. Instead, it was 50 one dollar bills artfully used as top dressing for a basket full of waste paper. Jake La Motta, former middle-weight boxing champ, won 18 amateur fights in a row before turning pro in 1941.
