Every once in awhile we like to bring up the oil situation in Anaheim. Not because we like to listen to ourselves talk about it—but, because we want to make sure the fellow of Anaheim don't lose interest in the oil business now that we have a city ordinance to control it. One of these days the Steele Petroleum company is going to drop a test well in the north-end industrial section. We feel the citizens of Anaheim should know all about it—and should follow oil progress in the city carefully. We all want this to be a model city as far as the oil industry is concerned. We have an oil ordinance. But, as we have said before, a good Philadelphia lawyer could break it—and probably most any city ordinance. Consequently, we are sure the city council will continue its policy of carefully screening all petroleum companies wanting to do business in Anaheim. No fly-by-night companies, no ordinance busters. Just companies pledged to operate as limited by the Anaheim oil ordinance. We bring this up because our newspaper cars have heard that interest in Anaheim oil is getting the closest attention in certain sections of the oil industry. All of us, we are sure, want no booms—no big-time operations—just a well-regulated oil situation minus the speculators and chislers. So far, things have gone along all right. There is the one oil company actively working on the leasing of Anaheim property, with another touching here and there. Maybe the best situation would be put on the investigator's watch if Senators secretly be put on the investigation. If so, this column has a letter pertaining to the Nevada's Senator lone that makes Flo Retary to Vice President look like a sandwich-sunday School picnic. The letter was written by Senator Malone's assistant, Ben White, proposed that he work Long Beach, Calif., missioners against for charity of Tidelands Grand plus expenses taxes. The funny thing letter is that Whitebush the Senator from Nevada for federal ownership lands Oil. Of course, the Senate a position on the bus submerged oil lands subject to change. At first appeared hostile to fereership, now has turned for it. Quite recently has been conferring with Cord, the industrial man vigorously favors feder ship and has been hitherto worthless Civil which he claims, entitle vast tracts of oil rich if the federal government The Whitesturst Letter The manner in whichrator from Nevada has different sides on Tideland the manner in which his instructive assistant was sell his services, is a teresting chapter in... IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette BY MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Mr. T.S. Grimshaw has placed us under obligation for the following report: The Anaheim Literary Society held their regular meeting on Monday evening, E.C. Cahill in the chair. The question, "Resolved, that conscience is always a correct moral guide," was then discussed by Mr. S.E. Smith in the affirmative and Mr.J.M. Guinn in the negative. The decision was given in favor of the negative. The question for discussion at the next meeting is: "Resolved, That the effects of music on the human mind is stronger than eloquence." F.M. Cahill will argue in the affirmative and Victor Montgomery in the negative. Declarations will be given by Messrs. Henderson and McFadden. A committee composed of Theodore Lynn, Fred Simpson, A. Helman, Ed Schubert, P.Athlearn, was named to superintend getting up an entertainment for the benefit of the reading room project. The Santa Ana Valley News was sold yesterday to a joint stock company and will hereafter be run in the interests of the Democratic party with Mr. Morton as editor. We wish the Journal success under its new management. E.E.Kesel and E.T.Langley of Santa Ana. At 12 noon free lunch will be served in the basement of the courthouse to all visitors outside of Santa Ana by the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce Ladies are especially invited to the lunch. In the afternoon and evening there will be music by the band and Quartet club of Santa Ana. Every taxpayer of Orange county is especially invited to be present and see how the public money has been spent. All of the various offices in the new court house will be open for inspection. 25 Years Ago Preparations are now complete for the third annual Hallowe'en celebration to be held tomorrow evening, and according to reports from the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, the parade is going to be the most unique pageant ever seen in the city. Leo Sheridan, secretary of the Water Company, who is one of the most ardent football fans in the county, decided to go north to witness the USC-Berkeley game on Saturday. He left Friday for San Pedro and boarded the steamer interest in Anaheim oil is getting the closest attention in certain sections of the oil industry. All of us, we are sure, want no booms—no big-time operations—just a well-regulated oil situation minus the speculators and chislers. So far, things have gone along all right. There is the one oil company actively working on the leasing of Anaheim property, with another touching here and there. Maybe the best situation would be for reliable companies—pledged to follow the oil ordinance—to sew up the leasing in Anaheim and thus crowd out speculators and chislers who would appear on the scene if there is an oil strike.

A grand ball was given at the residence of Don M. Abila and the festivities were continued until a late hour on Tuesday. 50 Years Ago Jim Balfour, who sometime ago occupied a responsible position in the Southern Pacific depot here, visited with friends the first part of the week. Mr. Balfour has just returned from a visit with relatives in England. On Tuesday Nov. 12, the new County Court house will be opened and citizens of Santa Ana will extend the glad hand to the county folks. At 10 a.m., there will be music by the band followed by prayer by Rev. J. H. Garnett. Hon. Frank Ey, president of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, will deliver the address of welcome, after which Hon. J. W. Ballard will give an address. Music by the band will be followed by addresses by Richard Melrose of Anaheim, C. C. Chapman of Placentia and Leo Sheridan, secretary of the Water Company, who is one of the most ardent football fans in the county, decided to go north to witness the USC-Berkeley game on Saturday. He left Friday for San Pedro and boarded the steamer Alexander for San Francisco where he arrived Saturday morning. He took the ferry across the bay and joined Fayette Lewis, Oscar Heying, Charlie Pearson and Leslie Swope, who had driven north the preceding day. They were interested spectators and all were happy at the outcome except Fayette who is disconsolate at the overwhelming defeat of his Alma Mater, the score being 27 to 0 in favor of USC. He was captain of the UC baseball team and is one of the best known amateur baseball players in the state. USC has tasted many bitter defeats at the Berkeley stadium, but the boys were after the blood of the Bear this year. The boys left Berkeley at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, spent the night at Salinas and resumed the journey Sunday morning, reaching home at 8 o'clock in the evening. Dr. and Mrs. J. W.

Friendly Malone. At the time Whitehurst this letter, Senator Malone ed friendly to state own Tidelands Oil and against ownership. Certainly when Smith, a representative Long Beach Harbor Boatfied, Aug. 17, 1930, before ate Interior Committee of Malone is a member, Malone out of his way to be friend. "Mr. Smith," Malone seeking to draw out these "you do consider the siti this time impossible for standpoint of the city Beach? In other words, w modification of the Supreme decision or legislation by you do consider the situ city now finds itself in..." WASHINGTON—It now looks as if Senators' secretaries might be put on the investigating griddle. If so, this column has turned up a letter pertaining to the office of Nevada's Senator "Molly" Malone that makes Flo Bratton, secretary to Vice President Barkley, look like a sandwich-snitcher at a Sunday School picnic. The letter was written by Senator Malone's administrative assistant, Ben Willehurst, and proposed that he work for the Long Beach, Calif., Harbor Commissioners against federal ownership of Tidelands Oil—for 60 grand plus expenses and plus taxes. The funny thing about the letter is that Whitehurst's boss, the Senator from Nevada, is now for federal ownership of Tidelands Oil. Of course, the Senator has had a position on the billion-dollar submerged oil lands which seems subject to change. At first, Malone appeared hostile to federal ownership, now has turned around and is for it. Quite recently Malone has been conferring with E. L. Cord, the industrial magnate, who vigorously favors federal ownership and has been buying up hitherto worthless Civil War scrip, which he claims, entitles him to vast tracts of oil rich Tidelands—if the federal government controls. The Whitehurst Letter The manner in which the Senator from Nevada has taken different sides on Tidelands Oil, and the manner in which his administrative assistant was willing to sell his services, is a highly interesting chapter in history. ship and has been buying up hitherto worthless Civil War scrip, which he claims, entitles him to vast tracts of oil rich Tidelands—if the federal government controls. The Whitehurst Letter The manner in which the Senator from Nevada has taken different sides on Tidelands Oil, and the manner in which his administrative assistant was willing to sell his services, is a highly interesting chapter in backstage congressional wire-pulling. Here is what happened. One year ago, Sept. 20, 1950, Ben Whitehurst wrote the Long Beach Harbor Board which has more oil wells sticking up from its harbor than most cities have telephone poles, offering his services. The letter was written on Senator Malone's official stationery and read: "Sept. 20, 1950 "Board of Harbor Commissioners "City of Long Beach "Long Beach, Calif. "Gentlemen: "I wish to thank you for your courtesies to me in our discussion of my proposed part in getting through the Congress and over a possible presidential veto tideland legislation which would be acceptable to the Harbor Board. "You requested that I inform you at once as to the kind of financial arrangement which would be satisfactory to me. I would want: "Salary—none; "Expenses—$1000 per month, payable monthly; (this amount for expenses is required as I would immediately go off the U.S. Senate payroll.) Plus the actual cost of any long distance telephone calls and telegrams relating directly to this matter and any travel authorized in advance by the Harbor Board, the cost of these items to be accounted for; "Retainer—$1000, payable upon signing of contract; "Fee—$50,000 is a lump sum to be paid me upon passage of legislation acceptable to the Harbor Board or upon other settlement acceptable to the Harbor Board; plus an amount sufficient to offset the federal income taxes involved. "If the general principles of this proposal are acceptable to you, or and practically without rights if the decision is enforced?" This friendly questioning took place at about the time Malone's assistant was dickering with the Long Beach Commissioners for the fat fee of $50,000 plus taxes and plus expenses. But the Long Beach people did not sign up. Whitehurst did not get his job. And later, Senator Malone completely reversed his position. In fact, Malone was the Senator who, with Murray of Montana, Democrat, blocked the O'Mahoney-Long compromise Tidelands Oil bill inside the Senate Interior Committee. This compromise would have kept Tidelands Oil under the control of the federal government, though permitting present lease-holders to continue. This would favor Senator Malone's old friends from Long Beach who own leases—but despite that fact, he voted against them. But it would not have favored his new friends, including various speculators who staked out claims to Tidelands Oil or those who want to lease under the Federal Leasing Act. One of these groups is represented by the son of Montana's Senator Murray, and it was Murray who first moved inside the committee to block the compromise bill. Civil War Scrip The other group includes E. L. Cord, who has entertained Sen. Malone of late, and who has been buying Civil and Mexican War scrip. This script was given to Civil and Mexican War veterans authorizing them to claim any uninhabited lands in the west. After the Supreme Court declared that the Tidelands were federal domain, Cord began buying up this script on the theory that under it he could claim Tidelands Oil. Significantly, Sen. Malone not only helped block the compromise Hal Boyle NEW YORK: The kids have had Halloween too long. It is time for the grownups to take it over for themselves. Halloween gives a chance to let off steam. And in the tension-filled world of today who needs a holiday from reality most—adults or children? Why, adults, of course. They should have a Halloween too, a day on which every worm in the land could turn and lash out in petty revenge against the small fractions and daily responsibilities of life. It might help us all if we had a national "Holiday Day" in home, community and office. Have the neighbor's kids—the neighbor who always borrows things from you—been soaping your windows on recent Hallowens? Well, go over to his house, borrow a cake of soap from him, and soap his new picture window with signs saying "Stop, thief!" or "I never yet bought anything I could borrow." Is your wife always helping you never bring her flowers anymore? Send her a dozen roses—doused with red pepper. Does your husband always insist on reading the morning newspaper at breakfast? Get up early, turn the pages inside out, glue them all together—and hand him his paper. How about that bus driver who always greets you with a surly snarl? Surprise him by squirting him in the eye with a water gun. Joy will spread throughout the vehicle. And the bus driver himself? He can hand out change in pennies to all the passengers who insist on handing him a dollar bill every day to pay their fare. "Retainer—$1000, payable upon signing of contract; "Fee—$50,000 is a lump sum to be paid me upon passage of legislation acceptable to the Harbor Board or upon other settlement acceptable to the Harbor Board; plus an amount sufficient to offset the federal taxes involved.

Friendly Malone At the time Whitehurst wrote this letter, Senator Malone seemed friendly to state ownership of Tidelands Oil and against federal ownership. Certainly when Irving Smith, a representative of the Long Beach Harbor Board testified, Aug. 17, 1930, before the Senate Interior Committee of which Malone is a member, Malone went out of his way to be friendly. Mr. Smith," Malone asked, seeking to draw out the witness, "you do consider the situation at this time impossible from the standpoint of the city of Long Beach? In other words, without a modification of the Supreme Court decision or legislation by Congress, you do consider the situation the city now finds itself impossible Malone of late, and who has been buying Civil and Mexican War scrip. This scrip was given to Civil and Mexican War veterans authorizing them to claim any uninhabited lands in the west. After the Supreme Court declared that the Tidelands were federal domain, Cord began buying up this scrip on the theory that under it he could claim Tidelands Oil. Significantly, Sen. Malone not only helped block the compromise bill which would have helped Long Beach, who did not hire his assistant but which would have hurt his new friend, Cord; but in addition Malone introduced a resolution friendly to those who had scrip claims to Tidelands Oil. Whereas," read the Malope resolution, "certain lands have been filed upon through certain scrip authorized under prior successive congressional acts... etc. Resolved, that the Senate of the United States through its proper committee investigate such applications under the National Oil and Gas Leasing Act and filings made under the 'scrip' authorized by prior congressional acts... Maybe the investigation of Vice Presidential Secretary Flo Bratton should be broadened. LOS ANGELES (P)—The outlook for automobile insurance companies is "very, very sour" and they may be in the red by the end of the year.

Light him up an exploding cigar. And when it blows up and his jaws drop open, say, "Gee, I made a mistake." Then pop another cigar into his mouth—another exploding one. When that goes off, well—you know how much people enjoy the same prank twice. And the boss himself could enjoy a real 'get-even' day, going from desk to desk, telling the hired hands. "Never mind the Labor Relations board today, muscle head. I'm going to tell you a few things I think about you." Oh, what fun you could have, too, pouring library paste in the hair of the groovy stenographer, or throwing spitballs at the foremen and the elevator operators. At lunch when the waiter who always kept you waiting finally showed up, you could whip a sandwich out of your pocket and say, "Just bring me the worcestershire today, slowfoot."

Only one thing about Halloween like that is to follow it up near with a "National Day." Otherwise the world in even greater chaos now. TV-RADIOLOGIC Involved ‘Space Patrol’ Endings Are Exciting to the Show’s Heroine By TOM S. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—Some of the stories in the “Space Patrol” series get very complicated, with many of the endings similar to the old time Pearl White serial thriller in the movies. More than often, on a weekend, “Space Patrolers” find themselves right in the middle of an exciting sequence with bombs about to burst upon the breaking of a magnetic ray, or the space ship completely out of control racing to what would appear to be certain doom. In talking with the lovely Virginia Hewlitt, heroine of the A.B.C. show, I got a new slant on the scripting, and her reactions to these episodes. “Some of these stories get very involved,” she said, “fact is, so exciting sometimes at the end of the week, that I can hardly wait until Monday to find out how I get out of the situation.” “We really don’t get our scripts until the night before a show, so it is almost right up to the last moment before I know my fate.” The beautiful blond actress, who just recently was chosen “Out of This World Girl for 1952,” by readers of a popular science fiction magazine, was born in Louisiana, moving to Kansas City, Mo., when she was 8-years-old. After moving to California, Virginia became interested in several plays at the Pasadena Community Playhouse, before retiring. TELE-TIPS . . .

CALIFORNANA — The first lodge of the Ancient Order of Free and Accepted Masons in California was founded in Benton City Oct. 30, 1849. The Grand Lodge was established in April, 1850. LINES-O-TYPE—Five of the 18 inducted into the service last week were Anaheimers. Lloyd Porter, Leslie Faulkner, Don Angel, Charles Hunt, Jr., and Glen Minder are learning the art of soldiering at Ft. Ord. George Goodell, the Brea-Olinda recreation director who now coaches at Fullerton, became the papa of a son last week. Harold Hopkins, former Anahi coach, claims that Marty Keough is the best footballer he's ever coached. The Po-mona Hi star has to be good. His father was the mighty Zeke Keough who burned up the jaysee conference about 20 years ago at Chaffey. SCUTTLEBUTT—They tell me that "Tex" Oliver was so disgusted with the showing of his team that he didn't even bother to go near the dressing room after the game at Mt. San Antonio. Y'cant blame him. L. O. Culp, the only man to coach a Fullerton junior college football team to a championship told the Quarterly. The beautiful blond actress, who just recently was chosen "Out of This World Girl for 1952," by readers of a popular science fiction magazine, was born in Louisiana, moving to Kansas City, Mo., when she was 8-years-old. After moving to California, Virginia became interested in several plays at the Pasadena Community Playhouse, before getting her first picture role. This led her directly into radio and television, where she landed the role of "Carol," the heroine, in the "Space Patrol" series. Virginia likes the TV media better than any other field, and she comments that "it's much more like the stage, with complete continuity, and far more challenging than pictures." There's a very wistful and intriguing look in this gal's eyes that reminds me very much of the late Carol Lombard, and a determination in her make-up that's sure to bring success.

Copyright, 1951, by Universal Radio and TV Features Syndicate New Tax Bite WASHINGTON (AP)—Following is a table showing the amount of federal income taxes to be withheld from weekly paychecks under the new tax increase law effective Nov. 1: (The taxpayer gets an exemption for himself, for his wife in most cases, and for each child. In some instances taxpayers do not claim themselves as exemptions. Such a case would be where a wife decided to go to work but her husband continued to claim both exemptions, his and hers, and she claimed no exemption on her return.) SCUTTLEBUTT—They tell me that "Tex" Oliver was so disgusted with the showing of his team that he didn't even bother to go near the dressing room after the game at Mt. San Antonio. Y'cant blame him... L. O. Culp, the only man to coach a Fullerton junior college football team to a championship, told the Quarterback Club of his experiences as a coach. He coached Anahi before moving to Fullerton. In 1818-19, he coached Fullerhi's CIF championship team of which Gaxette publisher Ted Kuchel was a member. Culp's coaching memories would make interesting reading in a book... Bill Cook, the Anahi star of another day, probably has coached more championship teams than any other coach—except James Roy Smith, who has coached nearly 200 championship teams. That's a record! the sandwich, you could doodle on the tablecloth with indelible ink. On the way home you could stop at the butcher's and... But, no, every man has his own daydream of how to get even with a butcher these days. But you get the idea of the kind of Halloween grownups need? Just a day to get all their little frustrations out of their system in a grand binge of irresponsibility. Only one thing about it. After a Halloween like that you'd have to follow it up the next morning with a "National Forgiveness Day." Otherwise the world would be in even greater chaos than it is now. NOTES—A. A.
