THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BEILER 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 Real oil progress ... The position of the Gazette on oil drilling in Anaheim has been two fold (and simple): 1. We have advocated that the city fathers come out with a suggested oil ordinance so that folks would have something to sink their teeth into—something to argue about—unfortunately. We couldn't see how you could build a house without a blueprint, or chart the development of oil without a set plan—an ordinance. The Gazette felt that the city should call in experts if necessary to develop the ordinance on the possibility the city could "have its cake and eat it too." 2. We felt that the oil company should have a hearing—a fair and courteous hearing. It is no secret that deliberated misinformation was passed around concerning oil leases, etc., etc. Naturally, we are happy the City Council has asked the Planning commission to develop an oil ordinance with the best advice they can obtain. We feel the emotional lag into which some people were lured has now passed. Through it all the City Council kept its feet on the ground. Things are straightening out. Consequently, we feel confident Anaheim will work this situation out in the best public interest—on a solid foundation. IN THE DAY LONG AGOTH By MRS. HE 75 Years Ago Nothing but a few attachment suits disturbed our courts yesterday day, and these suits are so frequent these hard times that they are scarcely noticed. Notice to shippers—Great reduction in freight. — Anaheim Lighter Company. — This company is now prepared to receive and deliver freight at greatly reduced rates. Shippers will please send bills of lading by steamer and mark freight care "Anaheim Lighter Company." — George Hull agent, Anaheim Lighter Company. About 9 o'clock last night a cloudburst on Diamond Range Mountain, thirteen miles from Eurola resulted in the death of three teen Chinese wood-choppers and a large number of Italians camped in the canyon getting out timber. Without a moment's warning a column of water 20 feet high rushed upon them drowning all but one Chinaman. No trace can be found of the Italians and it is feared they all perished. Grace Greenwood writes that there has been no eruption by Ve-suvius this year, although the hotel proprietors in the neighborhood hood have, with a view to increasing business, started reports... OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER ANOTHER ORANGE COUNTY FAIR has come and gone, and despite the hullabaloo which heralded it, I could not see that it was any better than last year's edition. Some of us could never understand why hustling, good-natured Orange Countian Bill Davis who handled last year's extravaganza, was supplanted this year by a manager from outside the county. Does the Fair Board feel that out of a county of some 250,000 population there is no one qualified for the job? The floral exhibits were excellent, although the hobby show with the exception of the gems and minerals display, fell far short of last year's. The midway was nothing to write home about, and hamburgers the size of 50-cent pieces were sacrificed to a grateful public for only 35 cents. I cannot comment on the horse show, as I was unable to get into it despite the fact that I carried a "working press and radio" pass, issued by the fair's front office, which should have been good for admission to anything on the grounds with the exception, possibly, of the merry-go-round and the little choo choo train. Anaheim's exhibit, showing a model of the city with the location of our numerous free parking lots was a masterpiece of promotion and evoked numerous compliments from the milling crowds. And, for the record, those responsible for our fair city's exhibit are to be eternally thanked for not piling it to the rafters with squash, citrus fruits, pumpkins, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupes, figs, avocados and egg plants. We feel the emotional jag into which some people were lured has now passed. Through it all the City Council kept its feet on the ground. Things straightening out. Consequently, we feel confident Anaheim will work this situation out in the best public interest—on a solid foundation. Joe Louis: "I attribute my victory tonight to superior stamina and a recrudecence of my imimitable capacity for muscular co-ordination." John E. Lewis: "These miners are overpaid."

THE MULE DEER, WHEN SOARED OFTEN LEAF SEVERAL TIMES STRAIGHT INTO THE ORDINANCE WITH the best advice they can obtain. We feel the emotional jag into which some people were lured has now passed.

Consequently, we feel confident Anaheim will work this situation out in the best public interest—on a solid foundation. Grace Greenwood writes that there has been no eruption by Vesuvius this year, although the hotel proprietors in the neighborhood have, with a view to increasing business, started reports to the contrary. The volcano smokes more than usual; however, and sends up occasional stabs of red, but the residents on its slopes do not seem apprehensive of danger. Salinas City now contains a population of 4000 persons. Another apparent case of "carrying coal to Newcastle" has just been recorded. Messrs. Kohler and Frohling have recently received an order for 800 gallons of wine to be sent to Germany. Samples had previously been sent and this order is the result. It seems strange that California should be asked to ship the product of its wines to such a famous wine-producing country as Germany, and it can only be accounted for on the supposition that California wine possesses some characteristic which is wanting in German wine. Mr. Menzel has a very beautiful piece of petrified pine on exhibition at his saloon. It was found near Brea canyon. We refer our readers to the professional card of Dr. E. M. Joslin late of Illinois, who has located in Orange. He is a gentleman of vast experience in his profession. W. S. Wright returned yesterday from his eastern trip. 50 Years Ago Mrs. Ralph Hunter has returned from a week's visit to Santa Barbara. Roman Wisser and family are at home again after an outing at San Juan Hot Springs. Billy Berdrow was, on Friday, presented by his wife with a fine baby boy. TO FILL OUT the rest of the column, we present some imaginary quotes from various notables which you will NEVER hear even should you live to reach the century mark: Westbrook Pegler: "Eleanor Roosevelt is a gracious and intelligent lady." Joseph Stalin: "We must strengthen the dollar." Harry Truman: "Margaret can't sing for your apples." Rita Hayworth: "Marriage is holy." Ben Hogan: "Golf is a game for nittwit." Gen. MinnArthur: "I have made some mistakes." The Tobacco Auctioneer: "We choose only the leaves from the scrawwy stunted tobacco plants." Major Charles Pearson: "A fellow came up to City Council the other night and gave us a compliment." Ted Kochal: "Everything is hunky dory in the California citrus 300-GUN HARRY HOUSTON, Tex.—Harry C. Knode, an enthusiastic Houston gun collector, estimates he has about 300 firearms, running from flintlocks to highly prized miniature pistols made in ancient times by apprentice gunsmiths. Oldest guns in the Knode collection are matchlocks. He has both Asiatic and European models. Hammers on these weapons were called "serpentines," which released the trigger setting off a match into a pan of powder, which fired the charge in the barrel. The temperature in the earth's interior has been estimated at around 9,000 degrees F. Mrs. Ralph Hunter has returned from a week's visit to Santa Barbara. Roman Wisser and family are at home again after an outing at San Juan Hot Springs. Billy Berdrow was, on Friday, presented by his wife with a fine baby boy. Judge Shanley and wife made a trip to Catalina on Thursday, going by way of Newport. The Commercial hotel has been purchased from Mr. Viler by A. E. Booth, an experienced hotel man from San Francisco, who has been in the hotel business in that city for many years. Miss Leila Pfeninger is visiting her mother in Fullerton. Miss Pfeninger retains her position in the Los Angeles school. 25 Years Ago Miss Sophie Rimpau of this city and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Alexander, Jr., of Los Angeles, returned on Friday from a four months tour of Europe. They shipped their machine across and motored over the country, spending a most enjoyable time. Their visit to the British Isles was cut short by reason of the general strike which began while they were in London. They left England at once, going to Belgium, Holland, France, Germany and Spain. Perry W. Mathis, member of the city council and mayor of Anahiem since the recall election, 18 months ago, tendered his resignation as a member of the board at the rego- THE DAYS OF DONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

Greenwood writes that has been no eruption by Vehis year, although the hoorietors in the neighborave, with a view to inbusiness, started reports lar meeting last Thursday. A. Curtis Case, insurance agent, who shares an office with the J. E. Schumacher Realty Company, was elected by the board to fill the vacant seat at the council table. Carl Leonard was the unanimous choice of the board for the mayor's seat. (Ed Note: Drew Pearson, in Europe for the launching of friendship balloons behind the Iron Curtain, has also picked up some important reactions regarding the vital problem of war and peace.) EN ROUTE THROUGH EUROPE—Europe today is a study in contrasts—contrasts between east and west, contrasts between this continent and the U.S.A. Here are some scenes which, though I have left them, remain vividly etched on my mind. Scene I—East Berlin: As you walk behind the Iron Curtain through the bomb-riddled city of East Berlin you are struck with the way Moscow has played up the thing that appeals most to men's hearts. Flags are everywhere. And between every German, Chinese, Kurdish, Greek, Turkish, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian, Laos, Burmese, Myanmar, Sri Lankan, Malay, Indonesian, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, French Polynesia, Australia, New Zealand. Seventy-Eight Albacore Caught By Izaak Waltons The ten men onboard the chartered Izaak Walton boat for this week's deep-sea fishing trip really hit a jackpot—they came home with 78 Albacore. High man of the day was Ted Binkler who hooked 12 and even the lowest man onboard, Henry DeBois came home with enough—four nice Albacore. The money jackpot which is always given the man with the largest fish went to Dick Martin who pulled in a 24 pounder. Albacore were found and caught five miles off the Santa Nofa coast. Next Monday is Ladies Day and the men will have their wives, the Ikettes, onboard.

Scene I—East Berlin: As you walk behind the Iron Curtain through the bomb-riddled city of East Berlin you are struck with the way Moscow has played up the thing that appeals most to men's hearts. Flags are everywhere. And between every German, Chinese, Czech, Koreas, Hungarian Flag is the blue and white flag of peace. Atop every pillar also equals the dove of peace—a plump, dampy dove, a little too smug and self-satisfied to sit surveying the stark remnants of what was once Berlin—but nevertheless a constant reminder that the Soviet Union supposedly craves peace. And at the base of every pillar are featured the international words for peace — "Paz—Mir—Paix—Beke—Peace." Over and over again are repeated these words, the words every soldier loves, the words every nationality can read and understand—Peace. In telling contrast are featured the words of President Trump Secretary Marshall, Dean Kenison, warning of the danger of war, warning that we must prepare for war. It was international propaganda at its most effective, most deceptive best. And despite the State Department's valiant though limited counterpropaganda, hundreds of thousands of the 2,000,000 youngsters who attended the Berlin youth rally must have gone home with the impression that the U.S.A. was the big bad ogre of the world today, with the U.S.S.R. their only hope for peace. Scene II—The U. S. Senate, Washington, D. C.; Senator McKellar of Tennessee, aged 88, chairman of the Senate Appropriations committee, is listening slowly to State Department testimony regarding its budget George Perkins, aged 56, son of J. P. Morgan partner, chief of European affairs, and not exactly the communist-type McCarthy claims runs the State Department, is testifying regarding the need for more funds to run the U.S. embassy in communist Poland. The senators want to know why Bears and Rams Play Tonight LOS ANGELES UP—The Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams—traditional powerhouses of the national football league's western division — resume their heated hostilities in an exhibition tonight. The winner will be carmarked for favoritism in the western circuit race. The Bears are eager to avenge the 1950 title playoff loss to the Rams. Nearly 70,000 people are expected to show up in Memorial Coliseum to see if the Rams really are as good as they looked when they powdered the Washington Redskins, 58-14. The Rams lured about 90,000 last week, when they flashed their always sensational aerial game and backed it up with a menacing ground attack. The Ram faithful came away convinced that Coach Jumbo Joee Stydahar's young men are going to win the western division crown for the third year in a row. But George Halas, coach of the Bears, was quoted by the Examiner as saying his club will beat the Rams and "Washington has a very mediocre team this year." The Rams broke 23 NFL passing records last year and some were recorded against the Chicagoans. They didn't have much of a running game, and didn't need it often, but there were times in bad weather when it would have come in handy. Tonight's affair may turn into an aerial duel between Johnny Lujack, the ex-Notre Dame flinger, for the Bears, and the Ram duo of Bob Waterfield and Norm Van Brocklin. The Bears defeated the Rams twice in league play last season, 24-20 and 24-14, but Waterfield pitched the Rams to a 24-14 win in the vital playoff game for division honors. BASEBALL STANDINGS COAST LEAGUE Seattle The second place Stars are exactly six games behind the Rainlees as the two clubs meet tonight-filmtown in the opener of a six game series that should settle in Coast league race. Maybe in the movies it could happen, but not even the most mild-eyed Hollywood fan expect a star sweep. The way Rog Hornby has the Suds going, Hollywood will be lucky to get the sweeping. The-Stars will shoot knuckleball Johnny Lindell (11-8 against Seattle's Hector (Skinny Brown) (14-6). It is only game scheduled in the loop and make up a game rained-out April 8. Unless Manager Fred Haney or the Stars can fire his team up to the most astounding upset of the season, Seattle is going to leave for home with the lead, and almost assuredly, the pennant. Seattle, however, didn't look so good last night when it dropped a 6-2 decision to Los Angeles. The Angels had lost four in a row, but Bill Molsan held the Suds score less after the second inning and his teammates scored three runs in the fifth to take the lead. Little Vic Lombardi scattered six hits in pitching Hollywood to a 3-1 decision over San Diego. The Stars got to Sam Jones for the winning runs in the eighth of Dino Restelli's walk, Frank Keleher's triple and Lou Stringer'fly. Glenn Elliott pitched Sacramen to a 3-2 verdict over Oakland. His teammates committed five errors but Elliott didn't let him interfere in racking up his 14th win Ralph Hodgin's single in the eighth scored Bob Boyd with the winning run. Home runs by Eddie Barr and Don White paced Portland to a 3-2 victory over San Francisco in the only day game. Chick Pierett was touched for eight hits but had a shutout until the seventh when with Ray Orteig on base. Buster Adams stepped up as a pinch hitter and walloped a home run.

Perkins explains that the battle against communism has become more intense, also that the embassy lost money last year through the depreciation of the Polish zloty. "Young man," glowered Senator McKellar of Tennessee, "will tell me under what article of the U.S. Constitution or by what law of Congress you have the right to go and tamper with another nation's currency?" It is the same Senator McKellar, using his deep insight into international affairs, influences how much money the State Department can have to combat communism. Scene III—also the U.S. Senate: Senator McCarran of Nevada, aged 75, is listening to Assistant Secretary of State Barrett testify regarding the Voice of America and the importance of selling the United States to the rest of the world. McCarran keeps wider awake than his colleague from Tennessee. He even admits that Barrett puts up a plausible argument. Finally, however, he concludes: "I would hate to answer for the spending of all this money to prevent war, when I feel sure war is inevitable." The Bears defeated the Rams twice in league play last season, 24-20 and 24-14, but Waterfield pitched the Rams to a 24-14 win in the vital playoff game for division honors.

New Commissioner Named in September NEW YORK (UP) — Baseball's new commissioner, who may be named Sept. 29, likely will be Ford Frick, Warren Giles or Gov. Frank Lausche of Ohio, but the field is still open to a darkhorse. In a six and a half hour meeting yesterday, the club owners narrowed the candidates to these three men, the Associated Press learned today. The owners also voted that the executive council call a meeting Sept. 20 for the express purpose of electing a commissioner, with increased powers and a larger salary than any of his predecessors. However, the fact that three names remain does not mean that one must be elected. Happy Chandler, the ousted commissioner, was a dark horse when he was elected. Del Webb, vice president of the New York Yankees and chairman of the screening committee, announced the field had been whittled from 11 to five. It was learned on strong authority, however, that two of the five Webb had in mind are Douglas MacArthur and Milton Eisenhower, president of Penn State. The others are Lauschie, Giles and Frick. Giles is president of the Cincinnati Reds and Frick is president of the National league. Both Eisenhower and MacArthur have said they felt "honored but could not accept the position." However, some quarters said they might change their FIRST with the BEST for the LEAST Orange DRIVE-IN Theatre CHILDREN FREE!
