THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIDT City Editor STANLEY JONES Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager Q.E. MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Oil ... All the fuss about giving an oil company a permit to drill a well from the Anaheim north-end industrial area has had good effects. It showed our City Council to be composed of men who can't be intimidated by false propaganda, a scatterbrained newspaper editorial campaign (not the Gazette's heaven forbid), or by a species of hysteria which is expectable in any "boom." We are glad we have men in our City Hall who stand their ground when they believe they are right, yet will listen carefully to the opposition—regardless of its extremely ill-informed and ill-prepared generalship. But, happily, you always can find much good in squabbles; fits. It is very true that careless oil operations could have a deleterious effect upon property values and on the city in general. But, it is true also that well-policed oil operations can benefit property and the city. So much attention has been drawn to the present oil plan, that it is doubtful if the City Council, the citizenry, or the petroleum company would permit oil drilling and oil operations to become, in the slightest, obnoxious to Anaheim. Our guess is that the pressure from the city (and the oil company's realization of its public trust) will result in an operation that will be clean and a credit to the city. An accident attended serious consequences occur night. The Anaheim Hotel driven by N. H. Mitchell overturned near A. Guillem & Company's lumber yard conveying passengers from pot to town.

Yesterday's World Series game was a day full of honors in the crowded career of Joe DiMaggio, whose bat again has found its magic. He broke three World Series records. Yesterday his total times at bat in World Series competition reached 199, two over the record held by Frankie Frisch in 1934. In the same contest DiMaggio also broke Frankie Frich's record for playing in the most World Series games—51, one over Frisch's mark. He also became the first man in baseball ever to have played on nine victorious World Series teams. Bill Dickey, now a Yankee coach, played on eight all-Yankee teams. The present series also probably established DiMaggio as the Midas man of World Series baseball for a long time to come. Over the years since 1936 they have been a series of golden afternoons to Joe, who gets $100,000 a year for the regular season. His total player's share for his role in 10 World Series, including the 1951 edition, comes to $57,034 for 50-odd games. That's roughly $1100 an afternoon.

Virgil Pinkley, L.A. Mirror publisher, moderator, on Channel 2 at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays. Spiritual debates are held on this weekly show, with controversial topics of current interest being run through the mill. Question this week was: "Should the RFC be abolished?" Arguments against the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (born during the Hoover administration) took the stand that it had outlived its usefulness and had now degenerated into a political "pork barrel" and a "rich man's WPA." The debaters favoring continuance of RFC maintained that it was needed to supply loans which private banks would not risk, and that its funds were always on tap for immediate use in case of a major disaster in this country, an emergency such as an earthquake of major proportions, or some other catastrophe of a scale large enough to exhaust Red Cross and other emergency funds. Seems to me that RFC has caused a slight earthquake of its own. Incidentally, while speaking of major national tragedies, whatever happened to old Henry Wallace? Al LaMont is publishing a neat and handy little monthly booklet called "This Month in Anaheim," regarding Anaheim. It is small enough for insertion in an envelope and an ideal piece of literature about Anaheim to send to the folks back home. (and it doesn't cost a cent).

Two civilized men pummeling themselves into punch-drunk idiocy while civilized "fans" shrieked at the ringside for more blood. Is this "sport?" Yesterday's front pages trumpeted the news that David Rose and Eleanor Holm have decided to get a divorce. Don't you feel just CRUSHED? The political pot is off to an early boil this time, but the Republicans have yet to come up with a good slogan. Let's hope they can devise something better than "Off the Rocks with Landon and Knox." Will it be "Eisenhower—Man of the Hour?" Or "Why Tarry Over Harry?" And then there is Senator Robert Alphonso Taft of Ohio who would like to do what his daddy did. The Senator's triumphant radio proclamation on the night of his last election still rings dully in many ears: "I can beat the labor vote any time I want to." Choleric old Westbrook Pegler gave another example of his coarseness and crudity in his column yesterday when he referred to the President of the U.S. as an "uninhibited street-sparrow." Pegler, who is blaring his horn for Senator Taft, should remember that name-calling never wins elections. President Truman, who couldn't sell neckties in Missouri but who seems able to sell indignant. anything at the White House didn't aid the Democratic cause his recent executive order limiting the heads of civilian agencies to "clim up" to newspapers (for the good nation's defense). This is too much like the antics of Hitler-Mussollini-Pranco-Perc Co., and the U.S. press is indignant. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago (1876) An accident attended with serious consequences occurred last night. The Anaheim Hotel stage, driven by N. H. Mitchell, was overturned near A. Guy Smith & Company's lumber yard while conveying passengers from the depot to town. The driver's injuries were apparently so severe that it was generally believed his recovery was impossible, but an examination by physicians showed that he was not mortally injured. R. J. Wolf, the manager of the hotel had his hand badly smashed and, we are told, received serious internal injuries. Ed Mateer, the conductor of the train, was badly bruised about the face and suffers from the terrible shaking up. F. W. Athearn of the Gazette received an ugly cut on the head, from which the blood flowed copiously. He is also severely bruised about the shoulder, neck and arms. Lois Wartenberg, with his usual good luck, escaped with a slight contusion on the jaw which, while painful, is not serious. John Clifford is the only one who escaped unhurt. He cannot refrain from saying that we hope the pernicious practice of fast driving has received its quietus from last evening's disaster. Access in its efforts to locate in Anaheim a branch of the celebrated sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich. A fund of nearly $1000 has been raised to assist in purchasing a site, and much other work accomplished. Let energetic work continue and let all enterprising citizens lend a helping hand. 25 Years Ago (1926) Membership of the high school's honor roll was increased by the addition of the names of twenty-six students who qualified for the honor during the last semester. Twelve of these were seniors; ten junior's and four sophomores. The list is as follows: Seniors, Grace Geren, Ember Teyne, Leanora Hoskins, Jessie Johnston, Marjorie Latourette, Handall Maass, Lucy Bell Morgan, Calvert Norland, Audia Schwartz, Robert Schweinfert, Mary Lee, Man Boover, Juniors, Tommy Mitchell, Martha Adams, Esther Leuschner, Elizabeth Martin, Beree Murphy, Laurence Meyers, Elenor Palmer, Vesta Roberts, Ruby Stanley, Mary Janaka, Charles Tremblerg; Sophomores; Catherine Bode, Norma Palmer, Doris Stoltz, Carol Welch. If these students maintain their honor standing during For the third time in four games the oddsmakers tend to stick with Anaheim as the under-dog and for the second time they are certain to be right in their arithmetic. The only game Anaheim has been favored was last week when they pulled out a hard-fought 19-6 victory over a seemingly strong Citrus team. In the Redlands game both teams were considered to be fairly-even matched, but the Chafsey game was a rout and the game tomorrow could follow the same pattern. It could, but for once, the oddsmakers might be in for a rude disappointment after the final gun has sounded in the Colt's stadium. Coach Florance Demoll has only six lettermen on this year's squad returning from last season's Sah Gabriel Valley League winner. The Colt's were stopped by CIF winner Compton in the quarterfinals to halt the Colts in their bid for another CIF title. They won CIF titles two years in a row; back in 1925 and 1926. Fullerton won in 1927. Five of the lettermen are in the first team line up with three in the line and two in the backfield and the sixth, a back. Lettermen are Dennis Cole, 200-lbs., left guard and center; Lyndell Carpen- Ezzard Charlson Hot on Come Boxing Trail PITTSBURGH (AP) Charles is hot on the trail today after knitting Rex Yale in the same he lost his heavyweight Jersey Joe Walcott. Charles stopped the Salt Lake City beater at the 11th round last month interesting but unimpressive before a disappointing 6,257 fans at Forbes Fightground S 50 Years Ago (1901) The Chamber of Commerce is meeting with distinguished suc WASHINGTON — Around 1938 our hoped-for friendly relations with Russia were turning more and more sour. Gen. Omar Bradley, meeting with a small group of congressmen, predicted: "If the Red army chose to invade Europe right now, they could reach the English channel in 12 days. Nothing could stop them." Today, this is not the case. The Red army could be stopped at the Rhine. This change is not because the Red army is any smaller. It still has millions of men, still is completely reckless in its disregard for casualties. Nor is the change because Eisenhower's army is more adequate. Though Eisenhower has done a good job, his army is still pitifully small compared with the Russian. The change, therefore, is chiefly the result of one thing—new atomic weapons. Hitherto, the atom bomb could be used only against cities where the destruction of civilians was such that public opinion rebelled against it. Now, however, atomic artillery shells and other weapons make it possible to confine the deadly destruction of atomic energy to enemy troops in the field. This means that the civilian earth toll can be divorced from the atom bomb, and that atomNOTE—The above is also why farsighted Sen. Brien McMahon's resolution to put more of our defense eggs in the atomic basket makes sense. We can save a lot of money, a lot of foot soldiers, a lot of lives, if we concentrate on more atomic research. Atomic News Notes Hydrogen Bomb?—U.S. Scientists are skeptical of the British news-letter report that Bruno Pontecorvo, the escaped British scientist, taught the Russians how to make a hydrogen bomb. They are almost certain Moscow has not had time to make an H-bomb. The new explosion could have been an improved baby-sized bomb—in which case—the Russians are getting nearer to the type used in artillery shells, etc. Pontecorvo, who eluded the British by going to Italy, then to Finland, then into Russia, will now be given Russian citizenship. He is credited with putting the latest bomb together. Russian experiments—It's no secret that the United States and other friendly nations have seismographs and Gelger counters stationed around the Soviet borders to pick up earth tremors and uranium dust. Airplane patrols also take samples of dust out of the air to analyze them for uranium. From these detection devices it seems clear that the Russians tried to set off an A-bomb several weeks ago which fizzled—perhaps because the trigger mechanism failed. This is the most delicate part of the A-bomb. This failwinner Compton in the quarter-finals to halt the Colts in their bid for another CIF title. They won CIF titles two years in a row, back in 1925 and 1926. Fullerton won in 1927. Five of the lettermen are in the first team line up with three in the line and two in the backfield and the sixth—a back. Lettermen are Dennis Cole, 200-lbs. left guard and center; Lyndell Carpenter, 205-lbs. right tackler; Bill Van Dehe, 170-lbs. end; Ronnie Weinhold, 165-lbs. half; Fred Knapp, 160-lbs. right half and Larry Mann second team left half. The Red and White Colts from Covina use the T and single-wing formations so by this week the locals should be used to running against both Redlands used the T; Chaffey the single-wing and Citrus both. Although Ray Trego, Covina's right guard only weighs 160, he is the mainstay of the heavy and fast line. He plays on offense and defense and certainly makes his presence felt as he makes tackles all over the field. In the backfield, the shining lights are capt. Fred Knapp, right half and fullback Doug Kranz. Knapp scored four T.D.'s in the first game of the season against Colton and three of those were taken on passes from Kranz—the distance being 37, 68 and 56 yards. As a result of their first three games the Colts will probably stress their passing fame more than their ground attack. In the Colton game they passed all night and won, 25-0. In the next game against Monrovia they took to the ground and were beaten, 26-14. Last week they tried to combine both and were still beaten by a potent Pomona eleven, 37-21. Although they are not in a really tough league, they nevertheless, continue to turn out strong tough teams and as a result lead Rifle Experts Criticise British Automatic .280 SAN FRANCISCO (UP) American experts at the National Rifle Association's annual convention sharply criticise the new British winner Compton in the quarter-finals to halt the Colts in their bid for another CIF title.

Rifle Experts Criticise British Automatic 280 SAN FRANCISCO - American experts at the National Rifle Association's annual convention sharply criticize the new British 280 automatic rifle—proposed as a standard weapon for all North Atlantic Treaty nations (NATD). The new rifle—a subject of hot debate among riflemen since it was proposed by England last July—was called "a ridiculous stupidity" by Paul B. Cardinal of the association in discussions yesterday. Maj. Gen. Merritt A. Edson, USMC (Ret.), the association's executive director, seconded Cardinal's comments. He said the full-automatic, stockless weapon was nothing more than a glorified sub-machine-gun—"a gangster weapon, effective only at targets at close range." Almed fire, he said, has always proved to be the most effective, although the Russians and Chinese rely heavily on tommy guns in their massed formations. Lt. Col. Milton C. Taylor, head of the Weapons Department at the Fort Benning Infantry School, declined to comment on the Army's tests of the British gun. He did say that since Korea, the Army is devoting more time to slow fire marksmanship training. "They've taken all but three tommy guns out of the infantry regiment," be declared, adding that the Army would still like to find a good standard caliber automatic rifle for NATO use. Sent to the Rainiers wives Marv Rotblatt, Jerome Dick Dummy and Bill and shortstop Jim Bailey from the Sox' Memphis team. Grissom, who had flings with the New York and Detroit Tigers, tied most victories in the Coaches with a 20-11 record and a 20 completed games, once the league leader. Brown had a 16-6 match for top percentage in the and also added three victories the playoff series. "We haven't come up with Walter Johnsons," said Larry we feel they are the best available in the triple this year."

Terrible-Looking Locals Should For Covina the league for the most parts in all sports and therefore have built up a highly-competitive winning spirit. In their league are Downey, Lynwood, Bell Gardens, Rosemead and Montebello—not too tough and they know it so they try to roll up impressive scores in pre-league games. And this year, at last, they are certainly starting out on the right foot by taking on some of the toughest teams in the Southland, meaning for one, Anaheim. Ezzard Charles Hot on Comeback Boxing Trail PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ezzard Charles is hot on the comeback trail today after knocking out Rex Layne in the same ring where he lost his heavyweight title to Jersey Joe Walcott. Charles stopped the 23-year-old Salt Lake City beiter in 2:32 of the 11th round last night in an interesting but unimpressive bout before a disappointing turnout of 6,257 fans at-Forbes Field.

Charles stopped the 23-year-old Salt Lake City beiter in 2:32 of the 11th round last night in an interesting but unimpressive bout before a disappointing turnout of 6,257 fans at Forbes Field. The fight grossed $59,763, including $25,000 for television rights. Temperatures in the low 50's kept down the attendance. The former champion, weighing 188, was far ahead on points when a hard right to the chin dropped Layne, 195½, for a nine count and the referee stopped it. Until the 10th it was just another 12 round bout. With seconds running out, Charles opened a barrage of lefts and rights and Layne went down. He was flat on his back as the bell ended the round at the count of eight. His seconds had to haul the Utah strong boy to his corner. Layne just couldn't set Charles up for any right hand crosses. He landed some good blows in the third, sixth and ninth rounds, the only ones he won. White Sox Get Pitching Help CHICAGO (UP) — Temporarily stalled in the major league trading marts, General Manager Frank Lane of the Chicago White Sox has dipped into the minors for two pitchers in a seven-player deal with Seattle of the Pacific Coast League. The Sox got two veteran righthanders, Marv Grissom, 33, and Hector (Skinny) Brown, 27. Sent to the Rainiers were pitchers Marv Rotblatt, Jerome Dahlke, Dick Dummy and Bill Fischer, and shortstop Jim Baumer, all from the Sox' Memphis farm club, Grissom, who had previous flings with the New York Giants and Detroit Tigers, tied for the most victories in the Coast League with a 20-11 record and turned in postponement. Trailing 2-1 in games without a pitcher for the fourth, the Yanks got a terrific break when a 2½ inch rainfall washed the game into the Harlem river. Allie Reynolds gained another day of precious rest and came back to blind the Giants Monday. Then they rolled the heavy artillery into action for the 13-1 slaughter of the fifth game. Maybe they were lucky to close it out in six. The Giants outhit them yesterday, 11-7, and staged a rousing finish that all but saved the day. Still Hank Bauer's 400-foot triple—a typical Yankee blast—unloaded the bases with the winning runs in the sixth. That was the ball game, plain and simple, although it took a bit of doing to keep it under control. Bauer, more or less of a flop in this series, emerged a double hero. His hit over Monte Irvin's head won the game from Dave Koslo. His sliding catch of pinch hitter Sal Yvars' sinking liner saved the game in the ninth. All the credit in the world belongs to the gallant Giants who clawed from last to first in the most exciting playoff series in all baseball history. They never quit when the Dodgers had them 4-1 going to the ninth in the last playoff game. And they never quit yesterday when they went to the ninth, trailing by that same 4-1 The Babe Out In Front Again FORT WORTH (UP) — Mildred Babe Zaharias meets Women's Western Amateur Champion Marjorie Lindsay of Decatur, Ill., today in the second round of the Women's Texas Open. The Babe carved two strokes from the 6,209-yard river crest course in taking out pro Betty Mackinnon of Dallas 4-3, while Miss Lindsay was walloping Helen Hampton of Chattanooga 7-5, in yesterday's opening matches. Other favorites who advanced are defending champion Beverly Hanson of Indio, Calif., a 3-2 victor over Mrs. H. C. Reidel of Dallas, and the Women's National Open titlist Betsy Rawls of Austin, Tex., who blasted 25 feet from a sand trap to within 15 inches of the cup to beat Pat Garner of Midland, Tex., in a 20 hole match. Bea McWane of Birmingham upset Polly Riley, a Curtis Cup star from Fort Worth, by chipping in the cup from 75 feet on the third extra hole. LUCK HOLDS FOR NOT SO SURE-FOOTED MULE SALZBURG, Austria (UP) — In Austria's "Alpine fortress" American and French troops recently held joint maneuvers, using mules as a method of transportation in the rugged mountains of the Tyrol. One mule became a hero to the U. S. Army. Attached to "K" company of the 350th infantry regiment, "Charlie" slipped and fell 500 feet over the edge of a ridge. A small party of Americans and French made the hazardous descent to give "Charlie" a decent burial. They found the homely jackass uninjured, complacently munching grass with an expression that seemed to say: "Well, what kept you?" handers, Marv Grissom, 33, and Hector (Skinny) Brown, 27. Sent to the Rainiers were pitchers Marv Rotblatt, Jerome Dahlke, Dick Dummy and Bill Fischer, and shortstop Jim Baumer, all from the Sox' Memphis farm club, Grissom, who had previous flings with the New York Giants and Detroit Tigers, tied for the most victories in the Coast League with a 20-11 record and turned in 20 completed games, one short of the league leader. Brown had a 16-6 mark to tie for top percentage in the circuit and also added three victories in the playoff series. "We haven't come up with any Walter Johnson's," said Lane, "but we feel they are the best pitchers available in the triple A minors this year." Rams Leave for Detroit Today LOS ANGELES (UP)—The unpredictable Los Angeles Rams head for Detroit today for a game with the Lions that would redeem their local prestige and bring them into a tie for the lead in the National Conference of the NEL football race. Trounced by the champion Cleveland Browns last Sunday, Coach Joe Stydahar's club has seen serious, if not subdued, in workouts this week. Detroit, with perhaps the most improved team in the conference, was won two and lost none. The Rams beat the New York Yanks and then lost to the Browns. The club should be in better physical shape than it was last week. All the credit in the world belongs to the gallant Giants who clawed from last to first in the most exciting playoff series in all baseball history. They never quit when the Dodgers had them 4-1 going to the ninth in the last playoff game. And they never quit yesterday when they went to the ninth, trailing by that same 4-1 score. "Three outs to go," yelled Leo, "Let her rip." And rip they did. Durocher's gang put up a mighty scrap. Koslo gave him two well-pitched games until Bauer's crusher. They kept up the fight without help from Sal Maglie, their ace, who worked only five listless innings. Larry Jansen, their 25-game winner, failed them twice. Georgia Tech's offensive line will average 205 pounds per man, but the Jackets' first defensive team averages only a shade over 180 pounds per man. The first Cotton Bowl classic was played in Dallas, Jan. 1, 1937. Texas Christian beat Marquette in that game, 16-6. Alabama's 1938 football team gave up only 26 first downs in nine games—a national collegiate record. Phone: 4618 ERMISCH "MY CLEANER" Branch: 350 W. Center Plant: 117 W. Cypress Anaheim
