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 More oil questions... (Continued from Page 1) five lots to an acre and one well to each 10 acres, and a production from each well of 300 barrels per day of 20 gravity oil at $2.06 per barrel (current price at Richfield oil field), the rate per lot, per year, would be $741.60 or $61.80 per month. Of this, 27½ per cent is free of federal taxes under present statutes, due to the depletion allowance permitted producers of oil and gas and landowners (because oil and gas is a wasting asset). The foregoing figures do not include any consideration for natural gasoline or gas, and is based on oil production. On a more general scale, assuming that 2000 lots in Anaheim were included, the return over a year on the 2000 lots would be $1,483,200 or $123,600 per month. Q—Would business be helped by allowing oil drilling? A—We asked the oil company for its views. It said: Assuming that the velocity of dollar turn-over is four times per year (as basic economic reporting says), and with $1,500,000 per year income being received by lot Would business be helped by allowing oil drilling? A—We asked the oil company for its views. It said: Assuming that the velocity of dollar turn-over is four times per year (as basic economic reporting says), and with $1,500,000 per year income being received by lot owners of the city of Anaheim, it appears that business would be substantially helped. Isn't there a chance of a dud? A—The odds are greatly in favor of a dud. Sometimes is almost as high as 400 to one. In Anaheim, the oil company puts it at an optimistic 50 to one. If the well is dry, will the oil company relandscape the area? A—they say they will, and have done it in other places. It is the Gazette's opinion that if oil well-drilling is sanctioned in Anaheim, the city should have a cash deposit or other iron-clad assurances from the oil company to assure that relandscaping will be done. Couldn't oil drilling here mean for Anaheim 1951 what it meant to Huntington Beach about 1921? If oil is found in Anaheim's north end wouldn't it encroach elsewhere in the city? The questions strike us this way: 1) Let's say a good oil ordinance was forthcoming for the city. It isolated drill sites in carefully controlled and highly limited areas. Let's say, furthermore, it is tough and iron-clad. Really puts the straitjacket on the oil business. Or, now, conversely, 2) Let's say an ordinance is passed absolutely outlawing oil drilling in Anaheim. Now, we can answer the questions by saying that whether we would stick to either ordinance depends on how much confidence we have in our City Councilmen to follow the set plan—to absolutely control or ban the oil industry as planned, come rich oil wells or absolutely dry holes. What our City Council does largely depends on how intelligent and tough we ALL are in devising a good oil plan and sticking to it. The will of the citizenry must prevail. So, search your own soul for your answer as to whether or not oil would encroach on the city if a field is found in or near Anaheim. Could YOU get tough and make sure oil drilling is restrained in the city to its proper "islands"? Are the oil people fast talking promoters? A—Apparently the oil people haven't talked fast enough!!! It is our opinion they are normal business people who want to make a buck. Your paper carries stories about the nationalization of the Iran oil fields—which some experts declare would mean a shortage of oil products (particularly gasoline) in this country. In order to help the national good shouldn't we try to produce much needed oil? We'll have to submit that one to Harry in Washington. We'll write us a letter about it!

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The Express says that the settlers upon lands claimed as lieu lands have formed themselves into a league called the "Settlers League of Los Angeles County." Their resolutions cite that they recognize in their opposers a powerful enemy who have no shadow of title to the property they claim; that they rely upon their rights under the laws and decisions of the United States, and recognize the decisions of the Secretary of the Interior of March 10 as just and based upon the soundest principles; endorse the protest of the State Land Commission, and mutually agree to combine and protect what they consider their just rights. Montgomery Queen's gigantic circus will arrive in town this morning. It is far superior to anything of the kind that has ever been in Anaheim. A large quantity of hay was burned near Los Nietos Wednesday and two boys, Jose Antonio Baca and Antonio Avila are accused of being the cause of it. Services at the Presbyterian church tomorrow, Communion services will be held in the morning at 11 o'clock. In the evening Rev. Mr. Allis will preach a sermon to the young people. A special invitation is extended to the young people of Anaheim to be present. 50 Years Ago Billy Fox and George Thompson have returned from a six month's sojourn in the northern portion of the state. The Dominican Sisters have at present 180 orphans at St. Catherine's academy, and a happier or more contended lot of youngsters it would be hard to discover ball team next year. The kids are enjoying vacation on the football field. - Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor LET THERE BE LIGHT At length dissension, like a general flood, Did deluge all; and avarice creeping in, Spread like a low-born mist, and hid the sun. Apologies to Pope And the "Iron Curtain" of the Kremlin hid the sun, which is the light. And the position of the OAC made it clear that no publicity was wanted or would be tolerated and the explanation given was that the people "in the field" did not want the information to leak out to the growers. Another "iron curtain" or we miss our guess. Still no light. And why? Easy. Avarice creeping in. If the grower is not fully informed about the economic value of his production he has nothing on which to base an opinion as to whether or not his "hired help" is doing a proper job in handling his crop. And that to our way of thinking is the reason the California citrus grower is the poorest informed farmer we have in America. THERE IS no question that the Florida citrus grower is the BEST informed producer in the country. He is also the best PAID grower in the country and the analogy follows right through to the California industry. Since Florida Citrus Mutual has been established the Florida grower has, for the FIRST time in citrus industry, been fully informed about the MONEY aspects of his business. You know the bland double talk we are handed. If this was not a respectable newspaper we could characterize what the paid "Boswells" of the Kremlin hand out in a much more vivid manner. This is done for the purpose of keeping the California in a bland state of mind and in ignorance of the economic value of their production. And you don't have to be any magician to figure out the reason why? THE EXCHANGE "News letter" is trying to lay the seed for getting our valencias out of the market quick. They say: "The oncoming Florida crop is bigger and it should not be overlooked that last year, Florida started the middle of October..." Do you remember what California valencias did in the late market last year? That Seattle About In As Coast Winner (By The Associated Press) Seattle is just about in as this year's Pacific Coast league pen-nant winner. Los Angeles fans are ready to concede to the Rainters after the three in a row the Rainiers hung on the Angels over the weekend. Yesterday's double shellacking 8-5 and 4-3 again demonstrated Seattle's superior pitching, Dave Hall and Al Lyons this time; sharp fielding and timely hitting. Walt Judnich and Jim Rivera, the league's foremost one-two punch, each bagged four hits. The day's activities left the Rainiers seven games ahead of Hollywood. Sacramento's slipping Solons saw Manager Joe Gordon hit his 40th and 41st homers, but won only the opener from Oakland, 2-0, on Jack Pickart's six-hit pitching. They blew the nightcap when Oakland poured across six runs on seven hits in the 12th inning for a 10 to 4 decision. Seattle plays two more against Los Angeles before taking on Hollywood in a five game set that may You know the bland double talk we are handed. It was not a respectable newspaper we could characterize what the paid "Boswells" of the Kremlin hand out in a much more vivid manner. This is done for the purpose of keeping the California in a bland state of mind and in ignorance of the economic value of their production. And you don't have to be any magician to figure out the reason why? THE EXCHANGE "News letter" is trying to lay the seed for getting our valencias out of the market quick. They say: "The oncoming Florida crop is bigger and it should not be overlooked that last year. Florida started the middle of October . . ." Do you remember what California valencias did in the late market last year? That should not be overlooked either. We got good money—but not the best, by any manner of means. The real high sales on California fruit came still later when the smart boys in the east, who had bought the fruit from us and put it in storage, received above $12 a box. Now the Exchange says we valencias should get out of the market quick. So maybe the northern navels of McLain's could get in there for more time? We don't know. But we valencias growers better look into the reason, the northern and southern fruit stayed on the trees so long this spring and kept us from starting. Many informed citrus men say that we were held back about 3000 cars too long by prorate manipulation. In the next few days we will publish a letter to Florida Mutual by a shipper down there in the southern state and the reply that Mutual made to this shipper. It is rather long and will take several days to complete. But it is required reading for every California grower. It tells the real Mutual story. How far Florida thinking is ahead of our puny efforts. The only thing we beat them in is amount of money spent. But our results? Less than cost of production? Not in Florida—their growers are at an all-time high in money return and production.

BERLIN—I have just spent an evening behind the Iron Curtain. now, and a number of half-orphans are away at their homes. Before the close of the school term there were 198 boys at the orphanage. The youngsters arise at 6:45, have breakfast at 7:00, dinner at noon, lunch during the afternoon and supper at 5:30. They go to bed at 7:30, say their prayers, and are watched over throughout the night by the Sisters, of whom there are 15 at the academy. During the day the boys play ball and other games in the spacious playground. An adjoining orchard furnishes an abundance of shells outside a Russian ballet. It's not hard to do here in Berlin where no guards patrol the line between the Russian and American sectors and where, if you flash a White House press card and look reasonably important, you can attend even the most exclusive of the communist youth shows. Berlin tonight is a city of vivid dramatic contrast—miles of bunting and flags everywhere, flags of every nation but particularly and ironically the flags of peace. Sandwiched in between almost every national flag is the blue and white emblem of peace. Standing out against the gaunt bomb-gutted ruins of Berlin, they made a genuine appeal to the tired population which never wants to see war again. Across from the Kaiser's once-ordeal palace which the Russians tore down and removed piece by piece, a great platform stood in front of the bomb-battered museum. The inside was an empty shell but outside a Russian ballet Sacramento's slipping Solons saw Manager Joe Gordon hit his 40th and 41st homers, but won only the opener from Oakland, 2-0, on Jack Pickart's six-hit pitching. They blew the nightcap when Oakland poured across six runs on seven hits in the 12th innning for a 10 to 4 decision. Seattle plays two more against Los Angeles before taking on Hollywood in a five game set that may decide the race. Los Angeles nicked Hall for three homers in the first game, but he stayed on to finish. Angel Les Layton collected his 22nd homer in the second game but first sacker Gordy Goldsberry smoke a double in the seventh and Rivera singled him in for the winning run. Eddie Lake smacked three homers as San Francisco grabbed a doubleheader from Portland, 9 to 5 and 10 to 6. Portland knocked Rooki Ed Cereghino and Fireman Joe Page off the hill in the second game but Elmer Singleton did yoeman relief to save the cause. Hollywood took a pair from San Diego, 9 to 2 and 6 to 3. Ben Wade, won in the opener. He gave up only four hits. It was his 13th win of the year. The Stars used three hurlers in the nightcap and Gordon Maltzberger was the winner. The clubs were idle today. When the Angels and Seattle resume hostilities Tuesday night, Manager Stan Hack and Rogers Hornsby will engage in a pre-game batting contest to see which is the better hitter. Hack recently bested Lefty Frank O'Doul, San Francisco manager, who had taken the measure of Hornsby and Manager Mel Ott of Oakland. If Hack tops Hornsby, generally considered the greatest right hand hitter of all time, it will have to be officially recorded that the Rajah has slipped a cog. Albert Pilots 49ers To 45-14 Victory SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Frankie Albert threw four touchdown passes as he piloted the San Francisco 49ers to a 54-14 victory over the Washington Redskins in a National league football exhibition game here yesterday.

During the day the boys play ball and other games in the spacious playground. An adjoining orchard furnishes an abundance of fruit. The grounds are kept scrupulously clean, and the little orphans are lucky indeed to have such guardian angles keeping watch and ward over them as the good Dominican Sisters. 25 Years Ago Rev. O. R. Schroeder, pastor of the German Baptist church in this city, was elected president of the Young People's and Sunday School Workers Union of California at the conference held here last week. Carl Remland, also of Anaheim, was elected treasurer and Miss Meta Seidel of Wasco, Kern county is the new secretary. Eygabroad & Fisher have moved their real estate office from the First National Bank building to Five Points. They are now located in one of the best residential sections of the city. Five Points is also developing as a business section. Mrs. Mable Coleman of Fontana spent several days in town during the week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Chas, Ward. Bill Cook of this city has been engaged to coach the University of Southern California freshman football team next year. Bill is a star on the football field. Albert Pilots 49ers To 45-14 Victory SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Frankie Albert threw four touchdown passes as he piloted the San Francisco 49ers to a 54-14 victory over the Washington Redskins in a national league football exhibition game here yesterday. A crowd of 27,000 was on hand to watch the 49ers gain the win in their first start of the young season. It was the Redskins' second loss. Last week they fell before the Rams in Los Angeles, 58-14. The Redskins were blanked in the first half. The 49ers scored two touchdowns in each of the first two periods, one in the third and other economizers had pinched too many pennies and a great opportunity was thus snuffed out. What we could do very easily and where we have been missing the boat is to sell both an idea and bread—the idea of uniting Europe and preventing war. We've hinted at this from time to time but until we sell that constructive idea and sell it hard the communists may be able to continue outselling us with their phony ideas on a 75-to-25 ratio. Brandon Defeated Semi-Final Round Ron Brandon, Anaheim's last hope in the 16th Annual Santa Ana Open Tennis Championships, was defeated in the semi-final round of the Veterans' Singles division by second seeded Les Wanee of Redlands, 7-5, 6-3, in a closely contested match on Saturday afternoon on the Santa Ana High School courts. Later in the afternoon Brandon teamed with Randolph Bell of Santa Ana in the quarterfinals of the Veterans' doubles where they were set back 6-2, 6-1, by Robert Abnot of Arcadia and Domingo Magante, Sr., of Los Angeles. Magante for several years held the national Philippine tennis title. Finals in all divisions were completed on Sunday afternoon in one of the best tournaments that the Santa Ana group has staged in its long history. Anaheim players for the most part will devote the next few weeks to extensive practice, in anticipation of the most famous of all West Coast tournaments, the Pacific Southwest Championships held every year at the Los Angeles Tennis Club, and this year celebrating its 25th year of competition with a ten-day tournament running from September 5 through September 16.
