THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BEILER LEONARD KREIDT STANLEY JONES NEIL STANLEY G. E. MELLEN RALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Governor Warren said, "to discuss generalities. We must take the whole situation by four corners when the chips are down and at that time, the people can exercise their judgment." While Warren is a potential candidate for the nation's top spot it has been his policy to let the job come to the man rather than to seek the office. He has followed this policy not only in his own public life, on the surface at least, but also with regard to his appointments to public office in California. Those who have sought favor from the Warren administration usually have received little consideration. Campaigning for political office, however, is somewhat different. WASHINGTON—A portant argument over defense strategy is tele-coms busy between London, London, and enhower's Atlantic quarters in Paris. The debate started hower suggested a war offensive in the war from the Kremlin recruit military-age men behind the Iron Curve volunteer legion. Eisenhower believed to 100,000 men—the divisions—could be from Russian, Czechs Baltic and Balkans. Most of these merits curtain countries because communism, he hower believes the enemy such a legion would inducement for covert troops to desert. He received a dash after, however, from Washington. The Bush support refugee community their own, are opposed fighting force independent foreign office; and the legion Ike proposes equipped, armed, and largely by the United States. Another objection refugees' fanatic hat not be controlled erupt into war as soon as issued. At one end the British reptile frankly stated: "We IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago (October 1876) The seventh volume of the Anaheim Gazette commences with today's issue. Those who have been attentive readers of the paper during the past seven years will testify that each succeeding volume shows a marked superiority over its predecessor, both in its mechanical execution and in its literary department. As in the past we intend that the Gazette shall continue to improve and keep even pace with the rapid development of our county. ladies holding the fort. President Hasson, who stated that business must be first attended to, managed to divert their attention. Secretary Paul read the minutes of the last meeting (held at Westminster) also a list of members who has passed over to the majority during the year. A committee of three was appointed to nominate officers for the ensuing year. Senor de la Guerra and Ramon Peralta were visitors in town from up the river during the week. He is not expected to do until sometime in 1952, which he describes as a "campaign year." This plan was followed in his last campaign for governor, when he delayed until 1950 to make known his intentions of running for a third term. The big question, of course, will be whether there will be both a Warren and a Taft GOP ticket in the California primaries next June. Normally, there would be long odds against a set-up of this kind, which if it occurs, would signify a state of disunity in the Republican party. But in the event the Ohio Senator should choose to challenge a native and favorite son in his home state, the odds would be heavy on a Warren victory in California. Meauwhille, a group of ed Senators has introduced a solution proposing a Senateigation of escapees in Europe. Behind this is that both American officials in Europe have muffed handling these that some want to go hind the iron curtain; escapees are handed forth between U.S. intelligence, central intelligence, and military intelligence either turned loose to fend on the Germany economy lowed to go to seed in camps.

R. Hanna has been appointed agent for the sale of the "Centennial Flat-iron Heater." Just how the United States got along without that convenience during the past hundred years, we can't imagine. It is a very economical and convenient invention for heating flat irons and its very low price—$2—will insure it a ready sale. Leave your orders with Mr. Hanna, at Cahen and Willard's store. 50 Years Ago (October 1901) The twelfth annual meeting of the Orange County Union Veterans Association, was held in Masonic Hall, Fullerton, on the seventeenth instant. There was a fairly good attendance of the "Old Vets" accompanied by their families, and the ladies of the W.R.C., and the G.A.R. Circle were out in force and eloquence. The first thing the old boys saw on entering the hall, was an open door through which their eyes were greeted with tables loaded to the guards, and a wave of patriotic fever manifested itself among the old heroes, who felt disposed to charge without orders even in defiance of the flashing eyes of the handsome The second annual convention of the Republican Women's Federation of Southern California, will be held in San Bernardino on the 30th inst. A luncheon will be served at noon and Hon. Herbert Hoover, the guest of honor, will speak. Mrs. Terry, president of the Anaheim club and a number of other ladies from this city will be present. Mrs. Theodore Lacy, wife of Orange county's sheriff is in San Francisco attending a meeting of the Daughters of the Confederacy. 25 Years Ago (October 1926) Judge Z. B. West, who has occupied the Superior Court bench in Orange county for many years died at his home in Santa Ana Saturday, from an attack of pneumonia. Just before the primary election, Judge West announced that he would not be a candidate for re-election because of failing health, but it was hoped by his friends that a rest from the arduous duties of his office would restore him to health. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in Santa Ana Tuesday and the body was interred in Fairhaven cemetery.

WASHINGTON—A vitally important argument over European defense strategy is keeping the tele-coms busy between Washington, London, and General Eisenhower's Atlantic Pact headquarters in Paris. The debate started when Eisenhower suggested a way to take the offensive in the psychological war from the Kremlin—namely, recruit military-age refugees from behind the Iron Curtain into a volunteer legion. Eisenhower believes that up to 100,000 men—three to five divisions—could be recruited from Russian, Czech, Polish, Baltic and Balkan escapes. Most of these men left Iron Curtain countries because they hate communism, and Eisenhower believes the existence of such a legion would be further inducement for co-inform troops to desert. He received a dash of cold water, however, from London and Washington. The British, who support refugee committees of their own, are opposed to a large fighting force independent of the foreign office; and the foreign legion Ike proposes would be equipped, armed, and trained largely by the United States. Another objection is that the refugees' fanatic hatred could not be controlled and might erupt into war as soon as rifles are issued. At one conference, the British representative frankly stated: "We fought one TV-RADIOLOGIC Television Survey Shows Air Stars Dislike Coverage of Gridiron Games By TOM S. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—Radio and television stars here, wise in the ways of showmanship, feel that television is "missing the boat" In its coverage of football games, In an informal survey completed last week, 42 out of 60 artists polled, stated that they have been disappointed in grid telecasts. Only four said "They're good" and 14 had no opinion. The main objection of the majority is that televised football imitates radio techniques instead of making full use of the visual element: As Quizmaster Bob Hawk put it, "The TV boys, all stemmed from radio, don't seem to realize that they have a camera at hand." "Talk," Bob said, "is emphasized rather than the visual element. Between halves, instead of seeing card stunts, marching bands and color, we get radio-type interviews with coaches and scouts from other schools, officials and sports writers. The picture might as well be turned off." Curt Massey is another that feels the same as Hawk on the subject. "Just recently," Curt said, "a Midwestern game had nothing but interviews and speeches before the kickoff. In fact, one speaker talked right through the national anthem and we missed even hearing it, let alone seeing the stirring flag-raising." Those masters of the painless, entertaining commercial on the Benny Show, the Sportsmen Quartet, cast four votes for better timing. DOWN TV-RADIO ROW ... Dame Fortune smiled on a very deserving couple recently on the "Break the Bank" program. The couple, Mr. and Mrs. John D. Kelley, of Branchville, New Jersey, were in serious financial straits because of recent operations and medical expenses for Mrs. Kelley. They came on the show answering correctly the questions up to the $300 mark when the bell rang, ending the program. They could accept the $300, or return the next day to try for the "bank," which they did, walking away with $5100 in cash and a means of paying their bills. TELE-TIPS ...

Jet-Plane Shortage Crippling strikes have put jet-plane manufacturers so far behind schedule that more than a million pounds of aluminum sheets have piled up in aircraft factories waiting to be used. As a result, friends of the industry inside the national production authority are now maneuvering to divert this backlog of precious aluminum into civilian goods. Meanwhile, Sabre-Jet pilots are fighting against five-to-one odds in Korea, because of the shortage of jet planes.

"No one objects to having the sponsor get his money's worth," the boys said. "but we all hate to miss a touchdown play because TV found it impossible to squeeze a 90-second commercial into a one-minute time out period."

It is suspected that this Presidential knack for garnering votes is one of the reasons why Republicans dislike—and fear the man. He beats them at their own game. County Comment By GEORGE HART Most observers believe that the latest impasse in the county sanitation program, which finds District 11 (Huntington Beach) refusing to go along with all the other districts in approving the long-range sewerage plan rather than the shorter-range modified plan, will end with the tail wagging the dog. Their belief is based on past shenanigans in the sanitation program, which has been a series of squabbles and deadlocks during the four weary years since its inception. They recall that when the leadership of District 11 was dominating three other districts, creating an even split of four districts against four during the long deadlock over type of administrative organization and who should do Senator Taft's announcement that he is in the running (about surprising as an ordinary sunrise) and with Old Doug MacArthur aiming his big guns at the artillery captain in the White House, and with the pro-communism charges being hurled at nearly everyone in the administration, that old feeling of a sure Republican victory in 1952 is setting in. Time has healed the wounds inflicted by the Missouri vote-getter in 1948, and should the Tories gain a sizeable majority in tomorrow's balloting over there on that island, this false sense of security in anti-administration forces here will be heightened. But I think the incumbent has had enough. He yearns to get back to Missouri and live as a country squire in peace and contentment with his family. Perhaps he will break the tedium of retirement by writing a book entitled: "After 1903, What?" After the manner of most newspaper writers who sooner or later take a fling at political predictions, I hereby go off the NEW YORK (P)—No day is complete in the line of the American office worker until he is dunned by "the collection taker." This is the hand-in-pocket individual who comes up to sandbag you out of your spending money for the welfare of some other character in the office zoo. The contributions usually are for one of the following causes: 1. Old Joe, the office bachelor, has just passed on, mourned by his four bookies and a wide circle of distressed bartenders. How about some flowers for good ole Joe, even though he would prefer to be buried with a case of bourbon? 2. Susie, the boss's varsify etenog, has quit to go home and have triplets. Let's raise a fund to send at least two of the kids through college. 3. Pat, the young and popular stock clerk, has just come down with a bad attack of miasma in the adenoids. Come on, fellows, dip deep—and let's finance Pat to a week on the beach at Miami. It's the only way to get rid of miasma this time of year. Everybody sooner or later gets the chore of going around the office and taking up these collections. And it has two advantages. It keeps you from having to do your own work, and if you make the collection nobody knows whether you actually contributed any cash yourself. Here are some of the worthy-cause victims you'll find in every office in the land: 1. The stern-principled grouch — I'll give you two blits if it's then belief is based on past shenanigans in the sanitation program, which has been a series of squabbles and deadlocks during the four weary years since its inception. They recall that when the leadership of District 11 was dominating three other districts, creating an even split of four districts against four during the long deadlock over type of administrative organization and who should do the engineering, it was not the leadership of District 11 and its allies which yielded in the interest of saving the program from complete bust-up. The other side had to give in, to keep the program going. Since then, the other three districts allied with District 11 have fallen away from that leadership, and in the present disagreement over sewerage plans there are six districts: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7, agreed on the long-range program, and only one District 11 which favors the modified plan. District 8, Laguna Beach, has since retired to the sidelines and is not now concerned with the county program, except to share some administrative cost. The same leadership that would not budge before, is not expected to budge now, regardless of what happens to the sanitation program. The situation betrays the big flaw in the sanitation set-up. Its organization is similar to that of the United Nations, in that any one district holds veto power over all the others, at least in this case, where unanimous agreement on a sewerage plan is required before the $8,308,000 voted two and a half years ago can be sold. Although District 11 has the least stake in the sewerage program—its $460,000 bond issue is smallest of all—and the least immediate need for it, that district can force all the other districts to come into line with it, if it chooses to stand pat. This is what will happen, observers predict. Directors of the other districts will finally pocket their hope of getting the plan they think is the most adequate and most economical in the long run. In the public interest they will bow to the veto, if they see that District 11 intends to rule or ruin. But I think the incumbent has had enough. He yearns to get back to Missouri and live as a country squire in peace and contentment with his family. Perhaps he will break the tedium of retirement by writing a book entitled: "After 1903, What?" After the manner of most newspaper writers who sooner or later take a fling at political predictions, I hereby go off the deep end: As the big fight shapes up for '52, and if it becomes a certainty that Taff will be the Republican candidate, the President will bow out, Eisenhower will be called by prearranged plan, and Taft will be smothered under a landslide. Remember, when this happens, say you read it here first. A FRIEND, noting the stand this column has taken regarding certain TV programs and the effect they may have on the morals of our impressionable young, asks the cause by submitting the following poem, author apparently unknown: THE CHILDREN'S HOUR Between the dark and the daylight, There comes from each TV (and radio) tower A series of gentle broadcasts, That are known as the children’s hour. And the girls and the boys are gathered To listen with bated breath To educational programs Of murder and sudden death. Then the air is athrob with sirens, As the ears of the little ones Tune in to the soothing echoes Of gats and tommy guns. And the eyes of the kids are popping, As they listen, watch and walt, perplexed By the educational program Of who will be rubbed out next And quiver and shake and shiver At the tender and pleasant quirks. Of a gang of affable veggmen Giving some poor guy the works. And they listen in awesome silence office and taking up these collections. And it has two advantages. It keeps you from having to do your own work, and if you make the collection nobody knows whether you actually contributed any cash yourself. Here are some of the worthy-cause victims you'll find in every office in the land: 1. The stern-principled grouch — "I'll give you two bits if it's for a funeral. Otherwise, count me out." 2. The-pass-it-on-to-management advocate — "Why doesn't the firm have a fund for situations like this?" 3. The doleful donkey — He reaches into his pocket as soon as he sees you, and groans, "Don't tell me what it's for. Just tell me how much you want." 4. The happy contributor — Sure, put me down for a back. I'm glad to do it. I don't have it with me—you put it in for me, will you? (Two weeks later he comes up and says, "Say, don't you still owe me that buck I put in for you to buy old Joe roses?") 5. The coward—He hides out in the men's room every day until noon so nobody can separate him from the four bits his wife gave him for lunch. 6. The empty-pockets blues-singer—"Gee, you know I'd like to. But the mortgage on our television set comes due tomorrow." 7. The cry baby — "Nobody over took up a collection for me. I could drop dead in my tracks and nobody around here would even bother to send us a get-well card." 8. The cheerful four-flusher—"I can't get in on it right now. But see me Friday for sure. Now don't forget." (He stays home can force all the other districts to come into line with it, if it chooses to stand pat. This is what will happen, observers predict. Directors of the other districts will finally pocket their hope of getting the plan they think is the most adequate and most economical in the long run. In the public interest they will bow to the veto, if they ace that District 11 intends to rule or ruin. If history doesn't repeat itself here, it will be a very happy surprise. The observers could be fooled. District 11 may decide to abide by majority decision. Everybody is hoping—but not very much. from work Friday, figuring by Monday the whole thing will blow over. 9. The Philadelphia lawyer type — "I think you are going about this in the wrong way. How about getting his workmen's compensation? Has anyone written the Social Security Board? How about taking this up with his Congressman? Oh, no that's out. He's a Republican, and his Congressman is a Democrat." 10. The average guy—He puts his hand in his pocket, gives a wry grin, and forks over the dough he'd hoped to buy a few beers with. But he goes home feeling a little warmer in his heart for knowing the people where he works sticks together in little ways, in times of happiness and hurt.
