THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BEELER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIDT City Editor STANLEY JONES Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager G. E. MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Don't bet on peace... Except for a few new trimmings, this country's last peace proposal for world disarmament is about the same plan which the Russians rejected when we made it several years ago. So it's pretty certain they'll just reject it again, which means that at this moment peace doesn't look any closer than it did before, although this country and its Allies made world headlines as peace-seekers. They gave themselves a good buildup. Wednesday the U. S., Britain and France announced they'd offer their plan in the United Nations at Paris. And President Truman went on the radio Wednesday night to plug the idea. And he said that if the Russians don't accept this plan it Mr. Truman proposed again Wednesday night that world disarmament could be made certain if U. N. inspection teams were operating inside countries on a continuous basis. And Mr. Truman suggests that while the U. N. investigators were checking on the number of bombs each country had, plus other armaments, the nations could sit down and work out an agreement to cut down the size of their armament. You don't have to be a diplomat to figure out how long it would take the U. S. and Russia to agree (1) on who'd be on the inspections teams and where they could go inside a country and (2) how much the two countries should disarm. So even if tomorrow the Russians accepted this country's pro-war agenda, what General Eisenhower enjoyed most in Washington was playing bridge with Chie Justice Fred Vinson, ex-White House jester George Allen and Sir Richardson, the Texas oilman. Early in the game when Allee was winning, he remarked to Eisenhower, "who is supposed to be one of the best bridge players in the country: "I'm going to take an hour off every day to give you lessons." Later Eisenhower started winning. "I think I had better arrange for you to come over to Paris and play carus," he remarked solemnly to Allen. The luncheon Eisenhower had with President Truman was highly lightened by the general's view both on peace and the difficulties of the job in Europe. Eisenhower told Truman that he had no intention of leaving his post in Paris until his job was done. Then emphasizing his agreement with Truman that peace is the greatest issue in the world and that we can achieve peace only through strength, the general added something to this effect: "Every time I look at the picture of my grandchildren, I know how everything else is unimportant." Truman added something to the effect that he would go to bat for Eisenhower on whatever is needed to do the job in Western Europe. After Ike left town, someone asked George Allen: "When do They gave themselves a good buildup. Wednesday the U.S. Britain and France announced they'd offer their plan in the United Nations at Paris. And President Truman went on the radio Wednesday night to plug the idea. And he said that if the Russians don't accept this plan it means they don't want peace. This may have some propaganda value around the world, although that's questionable, and such a statement is hardly likely to scare or embarrass the Russians into accepting something they had turned down before. This is the meat in the coconut. Previously we had proposed to stop the mad world race to make atomic bombs. How? The United Nations would set up teams of inspectors. They'd go into every country capable of making bombs and be sure to see that none was made any more. And they'd make a continuous inspection. Which means they'd stay inside Russia and keep poking around. That was in the days before the Russians themselves had any bombs. But first, the Russians said the U.S. would have to destroy its stock of bombs. And further, they didn't want any part of that continuous inspection idea. You don't have to be a diplomat to figure out how long it would take the U.S. and Russia to agree (1) on who'd be on the inspections teams and where they could go inside a country and (2) how much the two countries should disarm. So even if tomorrow the Russians accepted this country's proposal it would take a long time before the dream of controlled disarmament could be brought about. And even while they were going through this long process of trying to reach agreement on disarmament, they'd all be arming like mad because no one would know when the attempt to reach agreement might collapse. Quite a problem. Mr. Truman recognized it. In his speech he said. "Any program of reducing armaments will necessarily be complex and even with the fullest cooperation of all the parties, will take quite a while to work out and put into effect." "Even after it is put into effect, there will have to be safeguards against its violation." We can all hope for peace. But that doesn't mean we can expect it. And the Russians will have to answer very shortly, which probably will make relations worse instead of better. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago November 1876 The Masonic inspector, Theodore Reiser, having received a warrant empowering him to consecrate Santa Ana lodge No. 241 F and A.M. A grand lodge was convened at the hall of the Anaheim lodge yesterday, morning at 9 o'clock, and the members, 25 in number, proceeded to Santa Ana. The members of Santa Ana lodge spared no pains to render the visit of their Anaheim brethren, Tarnaham, tyler. The thanks of Santa Ana lodge were extended to the brethren of Anaheim lodge for their presence, also to the grand orators and to the ladies forming the choir. The lodge was then closed in due and ancient form. 50 Years Ago November 1901 An enthusiastic meeting of citizens of Anaheim and vicinity was held in the city hall on Wed. Rather sadly, President Truman told new Democratic Chairman Frank McKinney that "friends had let him down. The comment came after the president urged Hoosier banker McKinney to clean house in both the Democratic party and administration. "I might have to step on the toes of some of your friends, Mr. President," McKinney replied. The Masonic inspector, Theodore Reiser, having received a warrant empowering him to consecrate Santa Ana lodge No. 241 F and A.M. A grand lodge was convened at the hall of the Anaheim lodge yesterday, morning at 0 o'clock, and the members, 25 in number, proceeded to Santa Ana. The members of Santa Ana lodge spared no palms to render the visit of their Anaheim brethren agreeable and pleasant. A sumptuous report was prepared by the committee at that famous hostelry, the Santa Ana hotel. After feasting heartily on the savory vlands the brethren marched in procession to the lodge room, which was crowded with ladies and gentlemen. After listening to the exquisite muic furnished by a volunteer choir of ladies, the usual prayer was made by the grand chaplain, E. Evey, and an oration was delivered by the deputy grand master, and grand orator for the occasion, P. W. Athearn. The lodge was then consecrated by the grand master, Theodore Reiser in accordance with the ancient forms and usages of the fraternity. After the consecration of the lodge the master and officers of the new lodge were duly installed as follows: Albert Williams Birch, W.M.; Robert Burns Guthrie, S.W.; George Washington Vance, J.W.; William Harbertt Tichenel, treasurer; Jasper Newton Burtnett, secretary; James Winfield Layman, S.D.; Isaac Harding, J.D.; William Lane Wilhelit, marshal; Robert Cummins and Benjamin Franklin Maxon, stewards; Samuel Barrington McCormick. 50 Years Ago November 1901 An enthusiastic meeting of citizens of Anaheim and vicinity was held in the city hall on Wednesday evening of last week to finally decide whether a bonus of $7000 could be raised for the purchase of the Del Campo hotel property as an inducement for the Battle Creek sanitarium to locate a branch of its institution in this city. If the sanitarium can be located here an instant impetus will be imparted to business of all kinds. Its projectors would expend $50,000 in the erection of a new plant within the first six months and $200,000 within two years. George Boyd presided and F. G. Athearn acted as secretary. Mr. Boyd called upon a number to speak, among them being Supervisor Potter, R. C. Mills, H. Stern, H. A. Dickel, A. Asher and others. Mr. Asher said there were 50 people in the hall who could give $10, and started the ball rolling by subscribing that amount in addition to his firm's subscription of $100. The meeting resolved itself into a committee of the whole to solicit subscriptions and at 10 o'clock it was announced that a total of $7300 had been subscribed. The offer of the Del Campo hotel tract and 16 acres to the Battle Creek sanitarium people was made on Monday. It is belived a selection will be made on Sunday. 25 Years Ago November 1926 Geoffrey F. Morgan delivered an interesting lecture, "The old order changeth," before a large audience of Club Women at their regular meeting at the Angelina hotel Monday afternoon. Reginald Taylor with Mrs. C. A. McCullah at the piano gave a group of songs. Delegates elected to the District convention in Fullerton, November 16-17, were Mesdames E. E. Smith, Sid McGraw and C. F. Grim, alternates J. H. Harpster, Wm. Schumacher and H. H. Benjamin. Fred C. Rimpau was quite seriously burned about his left hand at his home on West Broadway some evenings ago, when he descended into the basement to light his furnace. A small quantity of gas was escaping and when Mr. Rimpau applied a match to the burner there was an explosion. He escaped serious injury as the force of the explosion went upward. WASHINGTON — Next to his children, what General Eisenhower enjoyed most in Washington playing bridge with Chief Fred Vinson, ex-White Wester George Allen and Sid Nelson, the Texas oilman. In the game when Allen Winning, he remarked to owner, "who is supposed to be the best bridge players country: going to take an hour every day to give you lesseur." Elsenhower started winning. I had better arrange to come over to Paris say carus," he renamed it to Allen. Uncle Eisenhower had president Truman was high by the general's view both and the difficulties of the Europe. Power told Truman that no intention of leaving his Paris until his job was been emphasizing his agreeance Truman that peace is test issue in the world and can achieve peace only strength, the general adding to this effect: "Evident I look at the picture of children, I know how evils else is unimportant." An added something to the hat he would go to bat for ever on whatever he need the job in Western Europe. Like left town, someone George Allen: "When do OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER IT WILL BE INTERESTING to observe the reaction (both domestic and foreign) to President Truman's Wednesday night speech. If you watched his televised presentation of what seems to be a workable plan to insure world peace, based on a continual inventory of armament in all of the world's nations, you must have been impressed with his obvious sincerity. If, for the moment, we will lay aside the charges of immorality, irregularities, machinations and communist-codding allegedly rampant in Washington today and with a dispassionate and open mind analyze the president's latest speech, we must agree that the man sincerely longs for peace in the world. In fact, it appears that he has dedicated all his efforts to that goal and that his main objective is to be able to step out of office secure in the knowledge that his administration, if not actually attaining that end, made every effort to do so. The president is called a war-monger because of his action in throwing U.S. troops into Korea at the onset of communist aggression there. Not one of his critics have, however, advanced an explanation of what they would have done under the same circumstances. Would they, in spineless repudiation of every principle for which we fought in World War II, have stood aside and allowed the North Korean communist rabble to overrun that hapless peninsula? Ask 'em that question and erments contract for millions and billions of dollars worth of plows, sewing machines, machine tools, hammers, saws... constructive rather than destructive commodities? Since 1945 the U.S. government has spent close to $100 billion for armament. The rest of the nations, to a lesser degree according to their national wealth, have spent proportionately. Wouldn't it be a blessing if say about one one-thousandth or all that wealth in all the countries had been us? For the control and prevention of tuberculosis or polio or cancer instead of being turned into a project to further the fine science of destruction and killing? These are dangerous thoughts in some quarters today, however; and if you express them too emphatically you are liable to be labeled enemy of free enterprise. If you favor legislation appropriating money to wipe out disease you are called everything from a socialist to a communist. If you cry: spend more for guns and tanks, you are patted on the back and lauded as a patriot. I don't get it. President Truman delivered a TV-RADIOLOGIC A Happy Birthday The Dean of All By TOM HOLLYWOOD — Jack Been can now relax, for his "39 years has been topped with the nouncement from Ed Wynn today is his 65th birthday." Looking particularly well days as he rehearses for his fff "All-Star Revue" for this season which will be Viewed tomorrow from KNBH (4) at 5 p.m. Any special question you'd like me to lie about?" was Ed's opening statement as we started a chat. Back in California permanently, made possible by the coast-coast microwave cable, he is no anxious to do a weekly half-hour comedy show from here. "When I was first asked to put into television in 1947," Ed said. "I made 12 predictions at the time. "All of them have come true." Among some of the predictions that Wynn made were: (1) variety type shows would be prominent because they are the easiest to put together; (2) all radio people would find transition to TV difficult, and some would not survive; (3) dramatic shows would be filmed but comedy never—as the success of comedy requires live reaction; (4) hour-long show would be done exactly as Broadway show with a curtain closing for scene changes. At this point, Ed told of te can achieve peace only strength, the general adding to this effect: "Evident I look at the picture of children, I know how evense is unimportant." An added something to the hat he would go to bat for on whatever it neede the job in Western Europe. Ike left town, someone George Allen: "When do ask Eisenhower and his intentions?" Know I don't badger Ike politics," replied Allen in Mississippi drawl. "I just jabs and joke with him; were to go way out on I would say on the ballot." Somewhat inconclusive was interpreted as mean-Eisenhower would run at the last minute. He gave Europe until sometime spring. The armament is dragging and he feels it launch a political career has the job reasonably far way. Her Republican politic eyeing the Taft bandan walt until "the secoot"—in other words unlast minute before the convention—remains an. Mr. Eisenhower did reveal that one friend during his visit that on diplomas he sided with the Re-commute, he Eisenhower, but not only support him but even consider running him as a Democrat. Cronles sadly, President Truman Democratic Chairman Kinney that "friends had down. Comment came after the urged Hoosier banker try to clean house in both democratic party and adaption. "I might have to the toes of some of your Mr. President," McKinney said. It will be interesting to see how the world's great airplane, tank gression there. Not one of his critics have, however, advanced an explanation of what they would have done under the same circumstance. Would they, in spineless repudiation of every principle for which we fought in World War II, have stood aside and allowed the North Korean communist rabble to overrun that hapless peninsula? Ask 'em that question and they will hedge on you. They will take the easy way out and say, "we never should have let the thing start in the first place." In other words, they would not pull a drowning man out of a well. They would ridicule him for falling in. Mr. Truman, the old poker player, used an old poker term in his speech Wednesday night, easily understood by all, when he said that all nations of the world (in regard to armaments) should at all times lay the cards on the table, face up. Mr. Truman, the old army man, acted as any old soldier would act when the Korean crisis erupted. In the army, they drill into the soldier a dictum: In an emergency, don't just stand there, DO SOME THING, even if it is the wrong thing. The military stresses this because when a leader stands hesitant, uncertain and wavering in a time of crisis he damages the morale of those whom he leads. Therefore, when the Korean rape started, the leader (in this case the United States) acted swiftly and unhesitatingly on the course which it deemed to be the right one. When you refer to it as the "Truman police action," stop to ask yourself "what would I have done?" It is the feeling of a great segment of the population that the president wants peace in the world, and this feeling was strengthened by his calm, deliberate and firm delivery Wednesday night of a program of voluntary imposition of armaments controls by ALL nations, a program of inspection, unremitting and vigilant, by a United Nations commission. It will be interesting to hear Russia's answer to the plan. It will be interesting to see how the world's great airplane, tank come quarters today, however, and if you express them too emphatically you are liable to be labeled en enemy of free enterprise. If you favor legislation appropriating money to wipe out disease you are called everything from a socialist to a communist. If you cry: spend more for guns and tanks, you are patted on the back and lauded as a patriot. I don't get it. President Truman delivered a daring and revolutionary speech. He mirrored the hopes of the millions-and-millions of the little unimportant people of the world who do not want war. Regardless of what develops in the future, on the basis of this speech and this proposal, no one will be able truthfully to say that the president failed to utilize the great power of his office for the attainment of world peace. County Comment By GEORGE HART Action of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors in buying $28,000 worth of rain—they hope—from a firm of "weather consultants," which means somebody in the business of artificial rain-making, indicates that somebody at least has confidence in the efficacy of cloud seeding. Such confidence is lacking here. Hereabouts there is a feeling that paying cash for artificial rainmaking is grab-bag business—buying a pig in a poke. Directors of the Orange County Water district have refused to contribute even $1000, let alone $28,000, toward the Santa Ana River Weather Corporation's program for the coming winter season. They may relent, however, and donate something, especially since they could contribute $694 plus, without actually putting out any new cash. There is that much refund due the district from last winter's $2000 contribution.* The $2000 was put into a $30,-000 ticket for finance last year. At this point, Ed told of television developing a technique which he was definitely against where all the scenes are shown on the stage (cameras only pick up one at a time as used, however). This distracts the audience and interferes with laugh reaction. "In some cases," he says, "girls are changing costumes and adjusting their stockings right at the stage while the camera is me doing an act. Who wants me watch me, with all that going on." Ed is very grateful to the public for their acceptance of him in his long career, and it is a lot one too. He first went on the stage in 1902, was a headliner since 1914 and a star since 1914. When asked about retirement, Ed said, "I never retire! I'd rather die on the stage with a lot of people laughing at me, than die in bed with a lot of people crying for me. He's really sincere in that statement. For a grand guy in show business, why don't you drop him happy birthday penny post care of: N.B.C. Television, Sunset and Vine, Hollywood. I know how love it.

Yet the weather' corporation, which has its headquarters at Beaumont and its seeding plane stationed at Banning, insists through its meteorologist, John Battle, that Orange county got more benefit from the program, in increased rainfall, than the other two counties. Battle claimed there was a 15 per cent increase in this county's precipitation, most of it in the November storm, which was about the only real one all winter. The response here was, maybe so, but all the rainfall we got you could put in your eye, so why spend more money on the experiment. It is admittedly an experiment. As for the Orange County Supervisors, nobody has even suggested asking them to appropriate tax money for such a will-o-the-wisp as artificial rain. Heavens, no!

They may relent, however, and donate something, especially since they could contribute $684 plus without actually putting out any new cash. There is that much refund due the district from last winter's $2000 contribution.* The $2000 was put into a $30,-000 jackpot to finance last winter's first local experiment in cloud seeding, most of which sum was raised by Riverside and San Bernardino county interests. Most of the cloud seeding was done in the mountainous areas of those counties. So far as Orange county was concerned, it was merely a gesture of cooperation with the neighbors.

Labor is organized, farmers are organized, manufacturers are organized, dog owners are organized. They banded together long ago to get what they want out of government. But spinsters? So far they have gone it alone. Next year, however, is election year. It is also the one-year-in-four when old maids and bachelor girls traditionally can openly put a half-nelson on the man of their choice and lead him to the altar. And it sees like a good time for the lovelorn lasses to get wise and organize—to create a solid voting bloc and tell each political party: "Never mind all that usual folde-rol about equal rights for the bleaker sex. How about putting a plank in your platform pledging government dowries for doughless dames?" There are millions of husband-seeking ladies in America of voting age. And it will take a mighty high-principled advocate of economy in government to stand up against them if they make a feminine pass en masse for a handful of the gold buried at Fort Knox. A number of girls hold the belief that dollars make sense when it comes to snaring a wary male. "I got a guy I could marry today if I could buy him the car he wants and make a down payment on a decent house," said one. "But all my spare change has been going into paying income tax. Why shouldn't Uncle Sam give us a dowry as a kind of tax rebate, like some corporations get, payable right after the wedding ceremony? The government would get it all back later—in more taxes." And another said: "If Congress doesn't give me some kind of allowance to finance men, I'll surely die an old maid. All men seem to want from a girl these days is money, money, and more money.

But our own superist don't spend money that give us a dowry as a kind of tax rebate, like some corporations get, payable right after the wedding ceremony?

All men seem to want from a girl these days is money, money, and more money. I've been buying my trousseau for years, and you know what I keep it in? A cigar box.” A widow I questioned said she thought widows ought to be given a double dowry — “just to make things fairer.” My old friend, George Durst, a reader from Jamaica, N.Y., is already plumping for a national matrimonial week during leap year. “They have all kinds of special weeks now, from candy week to macaroni week,” he wrote, “and you don't love your mother unless you buy her an ostrich during national ostrich week. "A national matrimonial week might convince millions of well-to-do unmarried women it is more logical to own a husband than a paid income tax receipt.” Durst feels the government's recent grant of $12,000 to a sociologist to study love and marriage in America is only a drop in the bucket. He favors the creation of "a federal matrimonial bureau or a department of romance" to bring single guys and girls together. He suggests it could be done by printing a federal matrimonial bulletin, listing the eligibles. “The U.S. printing office already publishes 1001 varieties of leaflets ranging from how to fry snowballs to how to dance like a penguin with ants in his tux.” Those are a few signs of the pre-leap years groundswell in the problems of love and matrimony across the land. It looks like there'll be something new in '52.
