THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BESLER LEONARD KREIDT STANLEY JONES NEIL STANLEY G. E. MELLEN RALPH BOULAND DON YOUNG Congratulations, high school... The good wishes and congratulations of all of us go to Anaheim High school and its fine football team. To date Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke and his gridders have won all of their Sunset League games—and have only one more game to go! Consequently, the team's victories assure the high school of nothing less than the top of the standings when the season is over. That is a real accomplishment not only for the high school and the players but for Anaheim and the high school district. Football may look easy to the folks in the stands; but it isn't. It's a long and arduous season—the team has to win and then maintain his position by good play. Precision teamwork must be accomplished—and it isn't easy. There is plenty of mental anxiety on the part of each player, too. If you've been on a team you'll remember the day before the big game when you could "see" yourself fumbling the ball behind your own goal line or missing the tackle which lost the game. So, it is a good feeling to be the best in a league of classy football teams—good for the players, good for Anaheim. Again we say: heartiest congratulations to the high school, its coaching staff, and to its WASHINGTON-DOENTRUM campaign based on promotion from big business ministrators have now put one of the biggest panies in the world ready lightly held business. They are awarding government water pumps to the Anaconda Company, despite vigorous bans by Mr. Truman Justice Department contract violates the law of the Sherman Antitrust Act. They are also closing to the criminal record cda, whose Anaconda Cable company was convicted of war frauds during War II for selling defenses to the armed forces—if not detected, might end the loss of America's battle. Ironic fact is that a ness firm, the Harvey company of Los Angeles about to receive an RR help put it in the alumniness in Montana. But Harvey's wartime record ducing Navy shells waived, the loan was held. It was right and proper Harvey's record should been scrutinized, the unexplained reasons of the Navy Kimball refused to give the N.A.A.C.E. Consequently, the team's victories assure the high school of nothing less than the top of the standings when the season is over. That is a real accomplishment not only for the high school and the players but for Anaheim and the high school district. Football may look easy to the folks in the stands; but it isn't. It's a long and arduous season—with hard practice and more hard practice. Each player on before the big game when you could "see" yourself fambling the ball behind your own goal line or missing the tackle which lost the game. So, it is a good feeling to be the best in a league of classy football teams—good for the players, good for Anaheim. Again we say: heartiest congratulations to the high school, its coaching staff, and to its championship team. Many happy returns of the day. Another great game... The scramble between Senator Taft and the backers of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for nominating votes seems likely today to bring an early crop of Republican "favorite son" presidential candidates. Gov. Earl Warren of California, second man on the defeated 1948 GOP national ticket, apparently is on the verge of making himself available for the top spot in 1952. Warren said he will announce a decision momentarily. Senator Kowland (R-Calif.), close political friend of the governor, predicted Warren will be in there pitching for delegates. Harold E. Stassen, former governor of Minnesota who now heads the University of Pennsylvania, told a Chicago news conference his plans for 1952 will be open for analysis until January. Stassen, who has said he won't support Taft for the nomination, indicated it was less likely he would run if Eisenhower does. Neither Stassen nor Warren is strictly speaking, a "favorite son" candidate in the sense that either will have to depend solely on his own state for support. But Warren will have to lean primarily on California's backing and Stassen will have to look to Minnesota unless the political picture changes rapidly. There are some other possible "favorite son" candidates in the offing and developments may bring them out into the open soon. Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll of New Jersey is regarded as a possible bidder for national honors. Senator Wherry of Nebraska probably would like to have his state's delegates size the situation up. Taft kept his campaign going with speeches in Oklahoma. Sen. Duff, (R-Pa.), pounded away for Eisenhower support in Texas. In Rhode Island, Vincent C. Jones announced a new drive for the general there. In New York, J. Russell Sprague, national committeeman, was quoted as saying he has been "assured" that Eisenhower would run. All this Republican activity found little counterpart among the Democrats, still asking each other whether Eisenhower's recent Washington visit had turned up any clues as to the general's availability for their party's nomination. Senator Anderson of New Mexico, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign committee, disclosed to reporters he had talked politics at length with President Truman after Mr. Truman had seen Eisenhower at lunch. The president has denied a New York Times story that he offered at that session to help Eisenhower get the Democratic nomination. And Anderson said he is convinced there was no political discussion between the president and the general. The New Mexico Senator said he also is convinced that no Democrat of national standing tried to sell Eisenhower on the possibility of taking that party's nomination, although some tried to find out from like what his plans are. So, this is a most interesting period in the national election picture. Now, the candidates begin to stir a little bit. Now the back-about to receive an R help put it in the alumnus in Montana. But Vey's wartime record ducing Navy shells waived, the loan was held It was right and prudent Harvey's record should been scrutinized, the unexplained reasons of the Navy Kimball refused to give the Naval on this case either to colleague, the Secretary Interior, or to the Investigator committee. This columnist, who the files, can report that Vey's record was sainted paired to Anaconda's. Anaconda was commissioned Fort Wayne, Ind., on 1943 for defrauding the ment in connection with of defective wire, was 1000, and three of its given suspended prisoner. Again in Pawtucket, conda was convicted Jaunon on a war-frauds charge four of its people given to one year in jail and placed on parole for Remarked the judge: pany perpetrated them with the intent to incr profits without regard to of American boys." On top of the criminalities, the government civil suit after the war selected $1,626,000 from Yet this is the company will now be favored with government power, a taxation deal whereby it ment is written off in and a contract whereby enmment buys virtually aluminum. Monopoly Irnored Other phases of the aluminum deal are also ing. When little business voy rang government and sat in government rooms trying to get st his aluminum plan, he vised "why don't you wealthy partner?" Meanwhile Anaconda serious overtures to him, a lopsided partnership resisted. Finally the go CENTENNIAL EVENT — Leila L. Morse, descendant of Inventor of the telegraph, and W. B. Patterson, president Morse Telegraph Club of America, inspect a 100-year-old sending key at the Railroad Telegraph Centennial luncheon in Los Angeles. The New Mexico Senator said he also is convinced that no Democrat of national standing tried to sell Eisenhower on the possibility of taking that party's nomination, although some tried to find out from like what his plans are. So this is a most interesting period in the national election picture. Now, the candidates begin to stir a little bit. Now the background scenes begin to take shape. Watch it carefully. It's a great game. Interesting fact No. 1 — man who made the final for Anaconda was Fleischmann, head of production. One of his hand men is Joseph Muñoz official of Anaconda W.Cable, the same company convicted of defrauding Sam during the war. Mr. a $1-a-year man, conti draw salary from Anaconda declined to tell this co how much Anaconda claimed he had nothing with Fleischmann's doc favor of Anaconda, but of Fleischmann's assistance. Interesting fact No. 2 — man and other defense officials did not b consult the Justice Department either in regard to An criminal record or its position until after the reached tentative decision. The past record of an in WASHINGTON—Despite President Truman's 1948 whistle-stop campaign based on protecting the nation from big business, his administrators have now decided to put one of the biggest metal companies in the world in the already lightly held aluminum business. They are awarding the cheap government water power from Hungry Horse dam in Montana to the Anaconda Copper company, despite vigorous objections by Mr. Truman's own Justice Department that the contract violates the principle of the Sherman Antitrust act. They are also closing their eyes to the criminal record of Anaconda, whose Anaconda Wire and Cable company was twice convicted of war frauds during World War II for selling defective wire to the armed forces—wire which, if not detected, might have caused the loss of American troops in battle. Ironic fact is that a small business firm, the Harvey Machine company of Los Angeles, was about to receive an RFC loan to help put it in the aluminum business in Montana. But when Harvey's wartime record in producing Navy shells was questioned, the loan was held up. It was right and proper that Harvey's record should have been scrutinized, though for unexplained reasons Secretary of the Navy Kimball has flatly refused to give the Navy's files about to receive an RFC loan to help put it in the aluminum business in Montana. But when Harvey's wartime record in producing Navy shells was questioned, the loan was held up. It was right and proper that Harvey's record should have been scrutinized, though for unexplained reasons Secretary of the Navy Kimball has flatly refused to give the Navy's files on this case either to his own colleague, the Secretary of the Interior, or to the House Investigating committee. However, this columnist, who has seen the files, can report that Harvey's record was saintlike compared to Anaconda's. Anaconda was convicted at Fort Wayne, Ind., on June 12, 1943 for defrauding the government in connection with the sale of defective wire, was fined $31,000, and three of its men were given suspended prison sentences. Again in Pawtucket, R.I., Anaconda was convicted Jan. 12, 1944 on a war-frauds charge, with four of its people given 18 months to one year in jail and a fifth placed on parole for two years. Remarked the judge: "The company perpetrated these frauds with the intent to increase their profits without regard to the lives of American boys." On top of the criminal convictions, the government brought civil suit after the war and collected $1,626,000 from Anaconda. Yet this is the company which will now be favored with cheap government power, a tax-amortization deal whereby the investment is written off in four years, and a contract whereby the government buys virtually all its aluminum. Monopoly Ignored Other phases of the Anaconda aluminum deal are also interesting. When little businessman Harvey rang government doorbells and sat in government ante rooms trying to get support for his aluminum plan, he was advised "why don't you get a wealthy partner?" Meanwhile Anaconda made various overtures to him, proposed a lopsided partnership. Harvey resisted. Finally the government The Sacramento Scene By HENRY C. MACARTHUR SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The governor plans to make an announcement, one way or another as to whether he will seek nomination on the Republican ticket for the presidency "within the week," conceded the fact that general fund revenues to the state treasury will probably be higher than outgo for this fiscal year, but had no comment on what the state should do with the surplus, which some financial experts claim will top $100,000,000. The governor announced that Senators George Hatfield, Merced and Randolph Collier, Yreka, as well as Assemblyman Francis Lindsay, Loomis, have made requests for appearances before the California Toll Bridge authority to urge methods for repayment of $12,000,000 maintenance and repair money to the state highway fund when the Authority meets Nov. 27 to refinance the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. School Bonds: The $250,000-000 school bond issue voted by the people is "broke" for all practical purposes, although approximately $12,000,000 remains therein to take care of increasing costs. Substance of this condition is that additional school construction*money will be sought from one source or another, and estimates are now that another $150,000,000 will be needed to bring the state's lifetime. She (the heroine) impression she would a quiet evening at her. But if you give whim and spend her—you will ruin married life. She has selously get the idea ought to come here every night after this will create t. 1. What the devil with her? 2. What the devil to you? To those two probation—like savagery struggling for a civil There is none. But to get back problem—how are you guarantee your wife and spoil her? One way is to be give her something Under the present plant an apple ground and tell you when the tree that it is as tall as sliding drinks and then on you. Of course, the only man with a wild id like that can do is to girl, and second, to spring and fall and so that it is spread doesn't grow higher. But the best way woman is to give her years of your life, and still lure her false and eternal pet some night you will into the society of wants to meet. And if you really want her forever—dance with No wife can resist Meanwhile Anaconda made various overtures to him, proposed a lopsided partnership. Harvey resisted. Finally the government served notice that the priorities he had received on materials, together with his power, contract at Hungry Horse, would be taken away. Throwing in the sponge, he agreed to become Anaconda's junior partner. This means Harvey will be swallowed up by Anaconda like a boy eating an ice cream cone. Interesting fact No. 2—The man who made the final decision for Anaconda was Manly Fleischmann, head of defense production. One of his right-hand men is Joseph Mulally, an official of Anaconda Wire and Cable, the same company twice convicted of defrauding Uncle Sam during the war. Mulally is a $1-a-year man, continues to draw salary from Anaconda. He declined to tell this columnist how much Anaconda paid him, claimed he had nothing to do with Fleischmann's decision in favor of Anaconda, but is one of Fleischmann's assistants." Interesting fact No. 3—Fleischmann and other defense production officials did not bother to consult the Justice Department either in regard to Anaconda's criminal record or its monopoly position until after they had reached tentative decision. The past record of an individual seeking a government job is sometimes scrutinized by the FBI for months. But not the slightest check was made of Anaconda's war record until Fleischmann was called by a newsman. By that time the decision to give Anaconda the contract was already made. A session was then held with the Justice Department to go through the formal routine of checking. Remarked a friend of Jess Larsen, the efficient but frequently discouraged General Services Administrator: "It looks like the only companies that get big war contracts are those which have committed crimes against the government. "No," replied Larsen wearily, "it's the ones who commit the crimes who have a hundred million dollars." TV-RADIOLOGIC Hilarious Martin and Lewis Are TV's Master Scene Breakers By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — They're rated one of the tops for earning power in the entertainment field ($260,000 for 10 weeks of personal appearances), and there's no question as to their being tops for "breaking up" almost any scene they appear in during rehearsals. Watched the two guys in mind, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, during a first reading rehearsal for their recent television show, and to say the least—never a dull moment. During one of these first reading sessions, the producers, directors, writers and actors all are present to go over the script cold, adding any new ideas that might come along. Here a scene will be gone over, with the injection of additional comedy by Lewis "as the spirit moves." Jerry just can't seem to contain himself, and as a rule, has everyone standing around watching his antics, entirely forgetting that a rehearsal must go on. At one time during a very different dance routine, Jerry in his own inimitable fashion, completely stopped the dancers with his chasing of a fellow actor all over the stage and background with a long pole, somewhat resembling a spear, in hand, yelling at the top of his lungs. Recalling more of these "scene-breakers" brings to mind Webb, who is syndicated to a large group of daily newspapers, makes his KLAC-TV debut tonight with a program designed for children. With a combination of personally drawn on-the-spot cartoons and the impish actions of the lovable little puppet, Tommy O'Toole, the new show should rate well with the children. Special contests are also planned, so that the children viewing the program can actually participate in the program. Good luck to Cartoonist Frank Webb, Valerie Landon and "Timmy O'Toole Time" from KLAC-TV (13) at 6. TELETIPS . . . "Big Town" popular on radio, makes its West Coast debut tonight on KNXT (2) at 6, with Pat McVay in the starring role. Cathy Downs will appear in person as well as in the picture during the KLAC (13) "Movie Night" starting at 7. (Cathy appears at 9:30). Kit Carson trails a group of killers during "The Murango Story" over KECA (7) at 7:30. The Scatman and Millie Bruce strut before the Dixie Showboat" going from KTLA (5) at 8. . . Elena Nikolaldi will sing four popular numbers when she appears as guest on the Firestone show tonight at 8:30 over KNBH (4). At one time during a very different dance routine, Jerry in his own inimitable fashion, completely stopped the dancers with his chasing of a fellow actor all over the stage and background with a long pole, somewhat resembling a spear, in hand, yelling at the top of his lungs. Recalling more of these "scene-breakers" brings to mind the rehearsal with Dinah Shore as guest. The producer, not being satisfied with a duet number with Dinah and Dean, asked for a retake. Very seriously, they started over, only to be jolted to a sudden stop by the interruption of bells sirens and automobile tire screches. Yes, you guessed it! Jerry had taken over the sound effect table and was spinning these records in an effort to "break up" Dinah and Dean. Mission completely accomplished with the vocalists doubled up with laughter and the producer practically tearing his hair. And they'll do it every time, too! DOWN TV-RADIO ROW ... The well-known cartoonist, Frank IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago November 1876 The following statistics of Los Angeles county as compiled from the Assessor's office, are of interest: Population of Los Angeles county, 30,000; area of land cultivated, 65,000 acres, of which 14,000 are devoted to raising barley, which produced about 415,950 bushels; corn 14,100 acres, producing 639,000 bushels; the wheat crop of 1875 was about 28,000 bushels. This year it is expected to be increased by at least 10,-000, mainly at San Fernando. The vintages occupy 5000 acres, of which I propose hereafter to make a more detailed account. The total quantity of wine produced last year was 1,325,900 gallons, of Rain began falling shortly after midnight Friday night. The weather continued showery until noon on Saturday, when .72 of an inch had fallen according to Mr. Darling's gauge. After a short intermission showers again fell on Saturday afternoon and evening, when .62 of an inch fell, making a total of 1.34 inches for the storms. Z. B. West was a visitor in town from Santa Ana yesterday. Crockett Bowers and E. H. Luxton of Santa Ana were in town on Tuesday. Neill E. Bailey spent Friday last But the best way to spoil a woman is to give her your best years of your life, your money, and still lure her on with the false and eternal promise that some night you will take her out into the society of people she wants to meet. And if you really yearn to spoil her forever—dance with her once, No wife can resist a husband as reckless as that. Moral: Any man who thinks he can give a woman an even break is already half an hour late. Robots to Ride Rockets Into Space Revealed SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP)—A news robot to ride rocket planes and guided missiles out into space and report back what is happening was shown to space medicine doctors here recently. This robot is the latest device for telemetering, the science of sending information from a plane. Its body is made of block-shaped packages of wires and tubes, each about the size of a cigarette package. Each block is a pickup device, a robot nerve. These nerves can read altitude, acceleration, temperatures, pressure of air or lack of air. They can count heart beats and breathing, detect X-rays and cosmic rays, report vibration and even tell in which direction wings may be bending. 50 Years Ago November 1901 Delos Morton, one of the progressive farmers of the West End, favored us with a pleasant call yesterday afternoon. Bishop Johnson preached to a large congregation at the Episcopal church on Sunday morning. The Apostolic rite of confirmation was administered to Mrs. Hill and Miss Maud Littlefield.
