THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BESLER LEONARD KREIDT STANLEY JONES NEIL STANLEY G. E. MELLEN RALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Ready to be invented... You can take their world for it, the Russians are an inventive people. They pioneered in some branches of science, and now they are undoubtedly leading the world today in scientific fictions. You may take with a grain of salt their claims to have invented the telephone and the submarine, and to have built the first skyscraper, steppe by steppe. But there is no question that in the field of diplomacy they are the first to achieve perpetual motion—a perpetual motion to disagree. And in some kinds of medical research they are certainly well ahead. This is particularly true in the field of belief. If any Russian questions the truth of Soviet political doctrine, they have any number of strong summits to give that ought to keep Soviet inventive genius busy for a long time to come. “If the Russians would build some undershrirts that won't crawl up me in hot weather,” said a fat man, “I'd be so grateful I'd even read a book by Karl Marx.” Another man said he's never jeer at Soviet scientists again if they'd come up with a pair of shoes guaranteed to outlast his shoes. A third remarked he'd settle if they'd invent "just one really good television program." "They're supposed to be so good at propaganda," said a hen-pecked husband. "How about them inventing a story that will make my wife laugh when I come home late?" And an office receptionist pitched this problem: “So many people are touchy and nervous today. Can't they look into the open China lobby, the maltain that the Americans' money voted to Kai-Shek, was actu into the pockets ofters and American Some of the most suspiciously close toators who consistent more money be voted Kai-Shek.

And in some kinds of medical research they are certainly well ahead. This is particularly true in the field of belief. If any Russian questions the truth of Soviet political doctrine, they have any number of strong serums to cure him of his doubts. They teach him wisdom with a needle. The real trouble with Russian science is that it was an inferiority complex, and it faces toward the past instead of the future. It wants credit for having been first with something already invented. This is no way to win an international popularity contest. Who cares who was the first man to invent brassieres or brass knucks? They're here, and that's all anybody really cares. What Russian inventors need to do is to come up with something absolutely brand new, something the average man would like to have and doesn't have now. Only in that way can they win the world prestige they crave. We have made an informal survey and gleaned few suggestions IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

B. Smith, W. H. Henderson and McDermont was appointed to decide upon the merits of the debate. The question, "Resolved that local option is a desirable measure," was then discussed in the affirmative by M. M. Cahill and in the negative by John Fischer. The committee decided in favor of the affirmative. Messrs. McDermont and Forth were elected as members. The report of the treasurer showed a balance of $25.23 on hand. The order of business was somewhat changed and the following resolution was carried: "Resolved, that rule four be amended to read as follows: The president shall decide upon the merits of the arguments in debate. The debate at the next meeting will be upon the question: 'Resolved, That education increases the happiness of the race.' W. H. Henderson on the affirmative, with Messrs. McFadden, Viles and Schubert as assistants. F. W. Athearn on the negative with Messrs. S. B. Smith, Mendelson and F. Rimpau assistants. Theo Lynell and J. S.

Among the names on the program we find Judge Ballard, Santa Ana, Rev. A. L. Dearing, Orange, C. C. Chapman, Fullerton, George A. Hunter, Ana- WASHINGTON—The more you look into the operations of the China lobby, the more it is certain that the American taxpayers money voted to help Chiang Kai-Shek was actually siphoned into the pockets of Chinese grafters and American middlemen. Some of the middlemen were suspiciously close to certain Senators who consistently urged that more money be voted for Chiang Kai-Shek. Thus it's possible that debate on the floor of the United States Senate, one of the few free legislative bodies in the world, may have been influenced by dollars, not conviction. This may be why only a few brave voices such as Senators Morse of Oregon and McMahon of Connecticut have spoken out for a probe of the China lobby. One exception to this is Senator Knowland, Republican of California who, though vigorously pro-Chiang, stopped some of these deals when he smelled graft or unfair profits. For instance, here are the facts behind one deal that Knowland stopped—the attempted purchase of 5,300,000 gallons of aviation gasoline for the Chinese air force by an American company which at first didn't exist, and which later was organized by partners already in bankruptcy. Fantastic Story Here are the chronological events in this important case: On May 2, 1950, the Hau Tai Trading co., Taipeh, Formosa, bid on supplying the Chinese air force with 5,000,000 gallons of gas. Hal Boyle NEW YORK (U)—Signing of the Japanese peace treaty will start a new migration to America. It is the signal for the mass return of some of our natives, sometimes referred to overseas as "the American colonials." And the long voyage home is going to be a sad disillusionment to many of them. Who are the American Colonials? They are a post-war phenomenon. They are U.S. citizens who, ever since the end of the Second World War, have remained in foreign countries and represented the American way—in one way or another. Some spread culture for the Voice of America. Some scattered dollars for the ECA. Some held clerical or civilian executive posts in our swollen staffs that supervised occupied Germany and Japan. Some represented legitimate businesses. A few were 20th century carpetbaggers, trying to browbeat a fast buck out of a fallen foe. But one common bond usually linked all American colonials, good or bad. They had life easier there than they'd ever had it here. A man who had been lucky to afford three beers at a side-street standup bar back home found he could loll at ease in a plush club there and afford all the scotch and soda he could consume. A housewife used to Kansas City discovered that in doing her own laundry back in Berlin or Tokyo her budget might cover a gardener, a maid, a cook, a governess and a girl-of-all-work. BOB SMITH, TEXAS A and M's OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD FULLBACK WHO BROKE ALL EXISTING BAUL-CARRYING RECORDS IN THE SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE LAST YEAR, IS THE PERFECT COUNTERPART OF LUC LA'S DYNAMIC DONN MOOMAW, THE FIRST BRUIN SOPHOMORE EVER TO BE SELECTED FOR ALL-AMERICAN HONORS! BOTH ARE VIRTUALLY UNANIMOUS CHOICES FOR NATIONAL HONORS IN PRE-SEASON PICKS THIS FALL! Here are the chronological events in this important case: On May 2, 1950, the Hau Tai Trading co., Taipeh, Formosa, bid on supplying the Chinese air force with 5,000,000 gallons of gas, "product of the United Petroleum company, Los Angeles," for $1,637,700. The bill was sent to the Chinese in Washington and was followed by a definite order from the Chinese chief of staff, Gen. C. J. Chou, who instructed the Chinese air procurement office in Washington to go ahead with the deal. However, Col. W. H. Hsiang in Washington got suspicious. Hsiang is the same colonel who later got kicked out, following his efforts to clean up Chinese graft. Colonel Hsiang knew, as reported in this column on Aug. 16, that his chief of staff in Formosa, General Chou, had been in on a deal which siphoned $444,706 of the American taxpayers' money into a mysterious account under the name of "Lee Sun Company" in the National City bank. So Colonel Hsiang sent an investigator, Maj. L. S. Wen to Los Angeles, to look into the United Petroleum co. Major Wen found that the United Petroleum co. did not exist. Colonel Hsiang also cabled the chief of staff, General Chou, that the company did not exist, then repeated the cable. He got no answer. The answer finally walked in the door of Colonel Hsiang's office in Washington on June 5, 1950, in the person of Edward A. Martin, who claimed to represent the United Petroleum co. Martin, who claimed to represent the United Petroleum co. Martin happens to be on friendly terms with a Senator who has done great favors for the China lobby. Quickle Company It later developed that the Chinese Chief of Staff in Formosa had ordered $1,837,700 worth of gasoline from a company which at that time did not exist and which later had been lucky to afford three beers at a side-street standup bar back home found he could loll at ease in a plush club there and afford all the scotch and sods he could consume. A housewife used to Kansas City discovered that in doing her own laundry back in Berlin or Tokyo her budget might cover a gardener, a maid, a cook, a governess and a girl-of-all-work. Nope, they'd never had it so good. The wise ones took the good times as a windfall, did their jobs well, and put by their money for a rainy day. But the lush living also turned a lot of heads. And the American colonial at his worst was more insufferable than the worst type of British colonial, whose bad manners he aped but whose sureness of authority he never quite achieved. The favorite bleat of this type of American colonial, when he couldn't get the price he wanted on the black market or the ice melted in his highball, was an injured, "well, who won the war anyway? We've got to keep these people in their place." But he didn't fool the average German or Japanese. They know who won the war: The American soldier, not the American colonial. Now the lush years are about over. With Allied government supervision lifting in both Japan and Germany, the American colonials are finding their privileges and their jobs evaporating. Many, let out of one post, are frantically grabbing for a spot with other American agencies operating around the world. Anything to keep from coming back to reality here. For a number who have come home have written back to them: "For heaven's sake, be smart and stay over there on the gravity train as long as you can. The prices here will murder you." By and large, the American colonials did about as fine a job as could be expected, given the temptations they had. But it's a good thing most of them are going to come back home. The American isn't meant by nature or training to be either... Martin, who claimed to represent the United Petroleum co. Martin, who claimed to represent the United Petroleum co. Martin happens to be on friendly terms with a Senator who has done great favors for the China lobby. Quickle Company It later developed that the Chinese Chief of Staff in Formosa had ordered $1,837,700 worth of gasoline from a company which at that time did not exist, and which obviously was formed merely to handle this special transaction. The gasoline could have been purchased from any number of well-known and established companies, or it could have been purchased through the friendly help of the U.S. government. But it was not. Suspicious, Colonel Hsiang asked Martin a series of questions and had him sign the answers. Among other things, Martin stated that the United Petroleum co. had an office at 420 Madison ave., New York, not in Los Angeles, as previously stated; that its president was Lyon McCandless also a friend of a pro-Chiang Senator); and that its representative in China was H.E. Renfro, Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong. Still suspicious, the Chinese procurement office then asked American lawyers for a report on United Petroleum, and found it was a partnership between Lyon McCandless and his wife, together with E.P. McQilem Also, the partnership had been formed only on June 1—almost one month after the gasoline had been bid on "For heaven's sake, be smart and stay over there on the gravity train as long as you can. The prices here will murder you." By and large, the American colonials did about as fine a job as could be expected, given the temptations they had. But it's a good thing most of them are going to come back home. The American isn't meant by nature or training to be either a colonial—or a colonial boss.

No Bank Account Furthermore, the Dun and Bradsfreet report on United Petroleum stated: "We have not been able up to this time to locate any bank account in the name of the company. Further investigation showed that the same partnership had also organized five other companies which were either in bankruptcy or inactive. One of them was the Amer-Ind, Inc., organized for trade with India, which, on Dec. 5, 1947, petitioned for receivership under Chapter XI of the Amended Bankruptcy act, and now operates as a debtor. Ghost of Leonard Weaver returns to Anaheim Friday night for the Colonist's 1951 football season opener against Redlands high at La Palma Park in a 7:30 p.m. encounter. Weaver, some may recall, was just about the best back the Colonist grid machine had last year. He was an all-Sunset league first team choice and will long be remembered for his bone crushing tackles and vicious blocks. He was a hard runner, one not easily fooled or faked and one of the best defensive backs in the whole league. He was truly a top notch player and one of the main reasons Anaheim was able to give such a good account of itself in some of its games. New School Record Also Leonard didn't confine himself to just the sport of football, but went out for water polo, swimming and diving. He won the all-Sunset league finals in the 50-yard freestyle, swam anchor on the local four-man relay and advanced into the CIF finals in diving. On the field at L Friday night in the is another type of doesn't confine his the one sport. In fact portion of a national at the same time he CIF records.

That seems to be the picture today as the top contenders in the American and National leagues keep passing up chance after chance to take a stranglehold on first place. The New York Yankees appeared on the way to the American league flag after winning those vital games from Cleveland Sunday and Monday. Yanks Blow Up So what happened? The Yankees blew a 7-1 decision to the fourth place Chicago White Sox last night. That cut their lead over the Indians from a full game to a microscopic three percentage points. Now take Boston's third place Red Sox. Winner of six of their last seven starts, the Red Sox seemed ready to deliver the knockout punch to the groggy Indians. Instead, the Tribe sharpened their tomahawks and scalped the Bostonians, 6-4. The defeat left the Red Sox still two and a half games off the pace. That's where the Yankees have their edge, too—in the losing side. Cleveland has won two more than New York but the Indians also have lost two more. They have only seven games left to 11 for New York and 12 for Boston. However, New York and Boston clash eight more times.

Stars Even Up Seattle Series HOLLYWOOD (UP) — The first and second place teams in the Pacific coast league pennant race meet in the fifth and deciding game of the Governor's playoff tonight. Hollywood prolonged the agony last night by rising up in the ninth inning to score a run and take a 4 to 3 decision. The winning run was unearned. With Frank Kelleher on second, pint-sized Johnny O'Neil singled to left and Kelleher lumbered home. Walt Judnich made a bullseye peg to the plate and the ball beat Kelleher by several feet. Catcher Joe Strautt dropped the ball as Kelleher crashed into him, however, and umpire Bill Doran, who had thumbed Kelleher out, had to reverse himself. So Erautt was charged with an error, Seattle lost the ball game and the series stretched to the fifth game. Tonight Johnny Lindell will hurl for the Stars against Seattle's Marv Grissom, Grissom has a 20-12 record, Lindell 13-9.

He is so highly rated that the plays on defense and offense. When the football season is over, So Erault was charged with an error. Seattle lost the ball game and the series stretched to the fifth game. Tonight Johnny Lindell will hurl for the Stars against Seattle's Marv Grissom. Grissom has a 20-12 record, Lindell 13-9. Lindell, handcuffed the Rainiers in the second game of the series Sunday in Seattle. Linane sheds part of his clothes and goes out for the swimming team where he is a standout. Last season Redlands won the CIF swimming championship with only six swimmers—practically a new record. With the six swimmers—the Terriers "only set" four all-time CIF records with Linane sharing in two. He anchored the winning medley relay and swam second position on the record-setting four-man combine. He ended up the afternoon by placing second in the 100 yard freestyle, which was swam in record-setting time. So, with a championship spirit, Linane, as Weaver, certainly will be tough to stop and will most assuredly be a well-off cog in a fast moving machine.
