But, what isn't all right is that we don't want any sharpies coming in on-the-track of this thing and trying to break the ordinance so that he can drill any place he likes! We want only bona-fide individuals and companies doing oil business in Anaheim-only petroleum companies which have been screened by the City Council. We don't want any ordinance busters! Consequently, we believe it is a "favorable situation" when the bona-fide companies now leasing land are able to get large blocks of leases in The city. We feel that by leasing large areas to the companies, which have been screened by public officials, we make it that much tougher By HENRY C.

Bothers are granting oil leases largely to the Steele Co., what we understand to be fairly large numbers. The dictum believes this is a favorable situation for the city as a whole. We also feel that the purpose of any city ordinance can be defeated by a smart guy who has the will to do so. If oil is discovered from the north-end industrial area, there will be a flurry of big promotions the likes of which we have never seen. That could be all right. Another peace offensive... The headlines tell us the country and Russia are preparing to cut loose with better proposals in the near future on provisions on disarmament. But President Trump, who going to talk on the subject tonight, apparently didn't expect much to come of it before his attacks. In a message Monday to the CIO convention in New York he said well have to continue arming ourselves and Europe for a long time. It will be "our great national objective for the years ahead," he said. And the news from Paris doesn't sound hopeful that the Russians and the west will agree on each other's plans. The United Nations Assembly meets in Paris this week and both sides are expected to offer a peace plan. But stories from Paris say the new U.S. proposal will be valuable primarily for propaganda purposes, that it might throw the Russians on the defensive. When you hear the word "propaganda"—that some nation, including our own, has done something for propaganda purposes—you ask yourself. At whom are the diplomats aiming their propaganda at other diplomats or the ordinary people of the world? Diplomats make a career of examining common diplomatic speeches and exchanges; they use leann companies which have been screened by the City Council. We don't want any ordinance busters. Consequently, we believe it is a "favorable situation" when the boon-fide companies now leasing land are able to get large block of leases in the city. We feel that by leasing large areas to the companies, which have been screened by public officials, we make it that much tougher for any speculators to cause trouble if oil comes to Anaheim. We want only oil companies which are pledged to abide by the word and spirit of Anaheim's oil ordinance doing business here. People of the world who don't have microscopes or time for counting diplomatic commas. The non-diplomats of the earth have lots of other things on their mind. On the day they read about the peace proposals, they'll be reading about a lot of other things. Then it try—most of them—to remember in a general way what they read. They don't have the time, because they have to make a living doing something else, to memorize and analyze all the details of a diplomatic proposal. And as time goes on much of what they read gets blurred in their minor act to detail. And the diplomats make the blue worst of their haggling and clouding of the issue. For example, just how many people in this well-read country can remember: (1) the details of the plan we proposed a few years ago for control of atomic weapons; and (2) why nothing came of it. Now, the Paris stories say, the U.S. will suggest a new method of atomic control, all part of a general disarmament plan, but that it probably will be unacceptable to the Russians. In a few weeks, when the Russians have offered some plan of their own and criticized ours and we've criticized theirs, just how many non-diplomans will be able to fit the pieces together.

The Sacramento Scene By HENRY C. MACARTHUR Capital News Service SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Story of the week which drew exceptional interest throughout the state was the Joint Congressional-Legislative hearing on the water problems of the Sacramento river. Congressman Claire Engle, and State Senator J. Howard Williams, Tulare county, were the two chairmen of the meeting which was featured by three days of testimony in the new theater hearing room of the state senate. Although the question pertained for the most part to the problem of water diversion from the Sacramento river, involving applications of the Federal Bureau of Reclamation for surplus waters of Shasta Dam, which never have been granted by the state, representatives from other sections of the state attended. The water problem, it developed, is state-wide, and cannot be confined to any one specific area, in view of the great need in all sections of California, and the now admitted premise that there won't be enough water to go around in 20 years, if development continues as it has in the past 20 years, even if all the - Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor IF YOU WANT a report on how Florida Mutual is doing this year of their "biggest crop yet" we have a little news for you. This season the largest percentage of fruit dealers have already signed Mutual contracts. Of 228 individuals and firms who, so far this season, have obtained licenses and posted required surety bonds as fruit dealers, only 18 are, as yet, not under contract to Mutual. While there are no comparative figures available, it is understood that percentage wise, this is the largest representation of bonded and licensed dealers at any time since Mutual was formed. One Mutual official commented: "This report hangs the silly jing on rumors that handlers would stay out of Mutual in droves this year, and assures Mutual growers, all over Florida, a home for their fruit." If you don't think that Florida is getting ready to sell her entire "biggest crop" in any of a dozen different ways—BUT ALWAYS AT A PROFIT TO HER GROWERS, you are just plain crazy. WAIT TILL THE California grower gets HIS money return this year, from his BEST crop in many years. When you receive your "juice" returns, if and when, just remember that about a year ago the Exchange spent grower's money to put out this kind of propaganda which appeared in advertisements in newspapers in the citrus belt: "Only the California Fruit Growers Exchange can give maximum returns on CITRUS PRODUCTS." In the next few years processed fruits, and all citrus products, will be far more important than ever before." Then the Exchange goes on with these questions, you can believe it or not but we have the proof right here: "Are you affiliated with an organization that can do a first rate job with the products end of the citrus business? Is your return going to be the best possible return?" Now just how does that make the sancliffeonline Exchange look? It makes them look just like any other solfish bureaucracy which has been run by and for the "hired help" instead of for the original purpose for which the whole deal was organized. THE MESS they have made out of the "products" deal makes a grower sick at heart. The Gazette Farm Editor IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anathema Gascette By MRS.

TIDELAND MONEYS: State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel issued a warrant for $2,547,107.06 on behalf of the federal government, which represents part of the funds collected by California for tideland oil royalties, which the federal government seized through a United States Supreme court order. The state to date has lost $37,000,000 from its tideland oil revenues, funds which would have gone to supplant the general fund and the fund for acquisition of beaches and parks. Part of the monies still are impounded by the state, but the more than $2,000,000 was paid as the result of an agreement between the state and the federal government. FRINGLE AREAS: A session of the Senate and Assembly committees on municipal and county government over the question of fringe area taxation, which both committees are studying, brought forth the question from Supervisor Lowell Eddington, of Napa county, of whether the present forms of municipal and county government are not outmoded; and should then be supplemented by a city-county government. Although Eddington asked the two committees to take this content into consideration when making studies of taxation of fringe areas, which are accused by the cities of getting a "free ride," the committees took but little notice of the suggestion for improvement in the system. HERE AND THERE: County veteran service officers met in Sacramento to discuss new laws pertaining to rights of veterans of the Korean war; an additional month for filing assents to the marketing order for dried prunes was granted by the Department of Agriculture; small increases were reported in unemployment insurance claims; Highway Patrol will assign 52 cadets to roads around Sacramento during Armistice Day week-end which is expected to result in heavy traffic throughout state.

A piece of the willow bough was still fastened to the halter. Married—At the residence of the bride's parents, at Santa Ana, Oct. 28 by Rev. G. M. Hubbard, J. C. Edwards to Miss J. M. Cunningham.

Both are Pennsylvaniaans, but neither has been mutually cooperative in the promotion of Ike for president. The other day, however, Congressman Hugh Scott, Jr., c. Philadelphia, who devotes all his spare time to beating the bushes for Eisenhower, walked across the Capital Plaza to see Sen. Jim Duff, ex-governor of Pennsylvania, and nominal leader of the Eisenhower forces. "I think we're hurting our own cause pushing the general and demanding he toll on me is a Republican and a candidate," Scott told his cards on the table. "I am sure in my own mind he is. But we've got to prove to him that the Republican party is the best party for him, and that there is a genuine demand for him in the party." Senator Duff, who has seen a lot of the inner workings of the Republican party, did not entirely agree. He maintained that if the general waited too long, Senator Taft would sew up the delegates. "But the Taft people have way overestimated their strength. I'd say by 200 delegates," Scott argued. "I've been to most of the regional Republican gatherings, and Taft just does not have the grass-roots strength. Eisenhower does." The Congressman then told of TV-RADIOLOGIC Gigantic Daylight Television Transactions Signed by N.B.C. By TOM S. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — In a five-page wire from the National Broadcasting Co., it was revealed that one of the biggest transactions in the history or daytime television was signed when Ralph Edwards radio and television personality linked a $3,500,000 contract for his exclusive services to N.B.C. for radio and television for the next five years. Ralph will spearhead N.B.C.'s expanded morning telecast with a daily half-hour program from 9:30 to 10 a.m. (Pacific time) beginning in the first week of January. His show will originate in Hollywood and will be seen via microwave relay and coaxial cable throughout the entire United States. The contract was negotiated here by Sylvester L. Weaver, Jr., vice president in charge of television for N.B.C., and Frederic W. Wile, Jr., vice president in charge of television production. Hal Boyle NEW YORK — Are you worried about the disclosures of widespread immorality in high and low levels of American life? Take heart. All is not lost. The American department store customer is getting more aware. "We expect that the Ralph Edwards show will have the same impact on morning television that the Hale Smith show did upon afternoon viewing," said Weaver. "The name of Ralph Edwards is synonymous with showmanship in the radio and television industry, and he will bring all of this named snowmankup into daytime television." It was also revealed that plans are underway for multiple TV-viewing of Edward's two programs, "Truth or Consequences" and "Tim In Your Life" for sometime in 1952. Format of the daily show will be charter enough to permit the star to take part in contestants, including participants from remote places away from the television studio. Ralph's career in radio began in San Francisco where he was an announcer. He went to network radio, and there with an idea, began his well-known series of "Truth or Consequences," which is nothing more than an old-time parlor game familiar to many. Looks like the N.B.C.-C.B.S. talent fight is really on in earnest! DOWN TV-RADIO ROW ... Phil Berle, from KNBH, in a recent meeting of the Defense Department... Republican party, did not entirely agree. He maintained that if the general waited too long, Senator Taft would sew up the delegates. "But the Taft people have way overestimated their strength, I'd say by 250 delegates." Scott argued. "I've been to most of the regional Republican gatherings, and Taft just does not have the grass-roots strength. Eisenhower does." The Congressman then told of like's answer to his impassioned plea in Paris that Eisenhower is needed to inspire the American people and the world. The general was obviously impressed with Scott's spirit and said, "If you believe in something hard enough, go out and fight for it. That's the only way to get results." The Philadelphia Congressman said he interpreted this to mean that Eisenhower was giving the O.K. for a campaign on his behalf. Then, if there was a real response from the Republican party, he would cooperate. Peace or War? Shortly after President Truman's peace proposals tonight, Gen. Omar Bradley, the top Chief of Staff, will make a significant speech advising the nation on how to stay strong enough to insure peace. In the speech, General Bradley, who made his fame as a foot soldier, will go all-out for air power. With Admiral Fechteler, the new chief of Naval Operations, reviving the old Navy-Air Force rivalry in a United States News interview, not cleared by his boss, Secretary Lovett, the Bradley speech is sure to make headlines. For the officer who once commanded the army's Fort Benning Infantry School and has spent his life with ground forces plans to warn that the United States must win the air war before it can win a ground and sea war. Bradley will say that the airplane is still the primary means of delivering the A-bomb both against cities and enemy troops, will reveal that baby A-bombs carried by fighter planes are more effective than atomic artillery; that large atomic bombs carried by B-88s are more effective than guided missiles; and will point out that air power must be plan-charge of television production.

This cheering note comes from Max Hess, chairman of the Consumer Education committee of the National Retail Drygoods association. It represents more than 7000 U.S. department stores. Hess has just made a nationwide survey that found the morality of the nation's millions of bargain seekers is at an all-time peak. "The study shows a marked increase in both honesty and consideration on the part of the public," he said "specifically in relation to the bugaboo of retail stores—refunds and exchanges." He said that in the last decade the percentage of merchandise returned had dropped from 5.4 per cent to 4.1 per cent. But his most heartening conclusion—heartening to department store owners as well as students of morality—is that the customers try fewer shadier tricks in returning goods. "Consumer honesty, as a matter of fact, has become almost universal," Hess said. "Attempted returns of used or deliberately damaged merchandise is only an infinitimal .0027 per cent of the total, as opposed to 1.039 10 years ago." This record would be even better, he remarked, except for an occasional lady who takes out a full set of expensive dinaware, ostensibly to buy it, but in reality to impress her guests at a fancy dinner party in her home. "When she returns the china-ware a few days later, she sometimes isn't even bothered to scrape all the food off the plates." Some other results of his survey: Men are getting more fickle an announcer. He went to network radio, and there with an idea, began his well-known series of "Truth or Consequences," which is nothing more than an old-time parlor game familiar to many.

Royal Aftermaths Princess Elizabeth had two experiences on her visit to Capitol Hill that she probably won't forget. She met a Congressman who was born a British subject. She was also shown the sights by an official with the arresting name of "Fishbait." William "Fishbait" Miller, doorkeeper of the House of Representatives, was a dynamo of southern hospitality. The bustling Mississippi, a former page boy, even address the princess as "m'am." However, Elizabeth, who had been "your royal highnessed" by everybody from President Truman down, didn't seem to mind. In fact, she seemed to like the easy cordiality of the man with the corporeal accent. Only once did the young princess show signs of being startled. This was when "Fishbait," standing with her on the speaker's rostrum, suddenly yelled across the House chamber, "Bring me the prince." Elizabeth's husband, the handsome Duke of Edinburgh, also seemed startled by this sudden and stentorian command. But, with a broad grin, he obeyed and hastened to the rostrum. The Congressman horn in Britain was snow-topped, 77-year-old Scota. Representative Bob Crosser of Ohio. When he greeted the royal couple from his wheelchair in told the princess, "I came over here from your country." "Oh, yes! I've heard about you and I'm glad to meet you," said Elizabeth. "When she returns the china-ware a few days later, she sometimes hasn't even bothered to scrape all the food off the plates." Some other results of his survey: Men are getting more fickle than women; they are responsible for 65 per cent of merchandise returns as compared to 38 per cent a decade ago. Young women return more purchases than older women. The articles most commonly returned by women are dresses. With men it's shirts. Most men DO keep those Christmas gift neckties. Only .0108 per cent were returned last year. Hess emphasized that most department stores today prefer that a customer return merchandise he is dissatisfied with rather than retain it. The theory: Long-term goodwill is always worth more than the profit on any one transaction. In his own department store at Allentown, Pa., he has a policy of refunding the purchase price without question, no matter how long ago the sale was made. "Recently we took back a blouse that an 89-year-old lady had bought from us in 1901," he said. "We were glad to get it back for historical purposes, and gave her far more than she had paid for it." Another woman returned some yarn she bought in 1927, and explained: "Never did find a chance to knit that sweater." He had to turn down one small boy, however, who came in and wanted to exchange his newly born baby brother for a sister. "I already have a brother," the little boy said. But Hess had a reasonable excuse: the baly brother hadn't come from his department store. The heaviest atom yet discovered is californium.
