THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BEILER 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 Taxes cost more than food... According to the president of the Grocery Manufacturers of America, the American consumer now pays more in taxes than he pays for his food! In 1940, the nation spent $17,100,000,000 for food and paid $12,700,000,00 in taxes. Last year by contrast, the food bill was $52,500,000,000 and the tax bill was $57,000,000,000. This does not take into account the increases in taxes that have occurred during the current year, nor the additional increases which are in prospect. Here is more proof of the fact that the tax bill is the biggest item of expense the American people face. Some of our taxes we pay directly, in income, property, inheritance and similar levies. Others we pay indirectly, as in the case of excise and so-called "liquor" taxes. of every service and article we buy. All told, taxes now consume close to a third of the national income. Taxation on this level destroys incentive. It drys up "risk capital"—why should a man take a chance on a venture when he must pay the whole cost if he loses but will gain little or no profit if he succeeds? It makes it abnormally difficult and in many cases impossible for the small business to grow—the money that would be used for expansion goes instead, to the government. It discourages production and progress. There is but one solution—rigorous economy in nonessential government spending, all the way from the village to Washington. At best, taxation must be heavy. Government find that Anaconda Montana newspaperman's close friend: "This lady doesn't have all. If I want to hall to see Margaret, I have up. I can't just on, for you now you'll find in her glad when we dependence and human beings." Mrs. Truman is the government's private living quaint White House family. She waits course, to the Service vigilance ened since the president's life, so on every floor of Montana Monopoly. The more the ment's Anti-Trust nizes the NPA dando Copper into business, the moe the most ironic glimpse of the entire Truction. the increases in taxes that have occurred during the current year, nor the additional increases which are in prospect. Here is more proof of the fact that the tax bill is the biggest item of expense the American people face. Some of our taxes we pay directly, in income, property, inheritance and similar levies. Others we pay indirectly, as in the case of excise and so-called "luxury" taxes. Officers still are hidden in the cost it abnormally difficult and, in many cases impossible for the small business to grow — the money that would be used for expansion goes, instead, to the government. It discourages production and progress. There is but one solution—rigorous economy in nonessential government spending, all the way from the village to Washington. At best, taxation must be heavy. If the present trend continues, it will prove ruinous. Is it bad?... "I'm getting tired of hearing about those 'rich oil companies.' I'm getting tired of the implication that for an oil company to exist is an affront, and for one to be rich is sinful," writes Ernestine Adams in The Petroleum Engineer. "Will someone tell me what is wrong with being an oil company or with an oil company's money? It takes barrels of the stuff just to keep a company going." The attacks on the oil industry, of course, are just part and parcel of the general argument that there is something disgraceful about being big and successful, and something even more disgraceful about making a profit. The fact that the oil industry has done an incredibly fine job in peace and war is conveniently overlooked. So is the fact that most of the $7,000,000,000 a year it receives through sales goes to the tax collector and to the industry's almost 2,000,000 well-paid employees. So is the fact that a very large part of what is left goes right back into the business in the form of new facilities. The U.S. oil industry now represents an investment of $2,000,000,000 — which works out to $200 for every man, woman and child in the country. And $18,000,000,000 of that money has been invested since World War II—in order to make certain every oil consumer is able to get the oil products he wants when he wants them. To paraphrase a famous old saying, "If this be sinful, make the most of it!" The American people consume more and better oil products than the people of any other country, and by a huge margin. They pay less for those products than do the people of any other nation. Is that supposed to be bad? IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

It will keep the dust down effectively for a few days. The Fairview Sunday school was re-organized last sunday with a good attendance. The following officials were hosen for the ensuing year. Superintendent S. B. Smith; assistant superintendent Edward Evey; secretary and treasurer Byron G. Clark; librarian, Miss Laura Evey; organist Edward Stone. Mr. B. F. Seibert of the Bank of Anaheim has lately received the appointment as agent of the Home Mutual Life Insurance company. Mr. McComb came in from the Landing last night bringing a fine lot of scollops which he says are plentiful at that place. 50 Years Ago November 1901 Otto Baum was tendered a farewell reception party at the Commercial hotel on Sunday evening, preliminary to his departure for San Francisco on Monday. The evening was pleasantly spent in dancing and social converse. Refreshments were served and a pleasant time spent by all. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baum, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Deltrich, Mr. and Mrs. Booth, Misses Rose Gross, Edith Gross, Gertrude Pratt, Lizzie De Temple, Pauline Bayha, Clara Baum, Bertha Fischer, Clara Fischer, Josie Dauser, Peter Dauser, Ed Geissel, Fred Ahlborn, William Ahlborn, William Fischer, Henry Dericksen and John Barrett. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Nickey at their home in Los Angeles on Nov. 8. 25 Years Ago November 1926 One of the greatest street improvement projects undertaken for many years was ordered Thursday night, when the city council approved the plan to add 10 feet to the width of Palm st. through the city limits; also to pave it and create a boulevard for the accommodation of the constant stream of automobiles passing up and down El Camino Real daily, and thus relieve the frequent congestion on Los Angeles and Lemon streets. The owners of 28 per cent of the frontage on the street was opposed to the movement, but this was not sufficient to sidetrack it and the plan was approved by the board and the improvement ordered. Palm street is now only 59.5 feet wide. This is much too narrow for a business street or a boulevard. The proposition is to cut 10 feet off the frontage of property on the West side and add it to the street, thus giving it a width of 69.5 feet. This will greatly inconvenience some of the residents, but eventually it will no doubt add to the value of the property. St. Boniface's church yard will be left with only a narrow strip on the Palm street side. Bonds will be issued to defray the cost of the improvements.

WASHINGTON—Mrs. Truman makes no bones about her desire to turn the White House over to new tenants. At a reception the other day, the First Lady confided to a friend: "This is a terrible life. We don't have any privacy at all. If I want to go across the hall to see the president or Margaret, I have to get dressed up. I can't just slip a kimono on, for you never know who you'll find in the hall. I'll be glad when we get back to Independence and can live like human beings." Mrs. Truman said she thought the government should provide private living quarters away from the White House for the first family. She was referring, of course, to the fact that Secret Service vigilance has been tightened since the attempt on the president's life, so that guards are on every floor of Blair House. Montana Monopoly The more the Justice Department's Anti-Trust division scrutinizes the NPA deal to put Anaconda Copper into the aluminum business, the more it looks like the most ironic gift to big business of the entire Truman administration. Government attorneys now find that Anaconda's powerful Montana newspapers and Anaconda's close friend, Montana Power and Light, bitterly opposed the government power project at Hungry Horse, Montana. New Anaconda has... Government attorneys now find that Anaconda's powerful Montana newspapers and Anaconda's close friend, Montana Power and Light, bitterly opposed the government power project at Hungry Horse, Montana. Now, Anaconda has turned round, wants all of Montana's share of the government power it fought. And the NPA plans to fork it over. Anaconda newspapers also criticized the Harvey Machine company's methods of lobbying for the aluminum-power contract and RFC loan. Now Anaconda has turned round and embraced the very same Harvey Machine Co. More alarming Justice Department attorneys find to be the strangle hold which Anaconda will now have on the state of Montana. Already the giant copper company controls most of the published news in that state. It owns the Butte Daily Post, the Montana Standard, published at Anaconda, the Billings Gazette, the Livingston Enterprise, the Daily Missoulian, the Helena Independent Record, and the Western News of Libby, Mont. And not having been able to acquire a paper at Great Falls, it has now purchased radio station KFBB in Great Falls—subject to FCC approval. Mallbag E. E. A., Brentwood, Calif. — The Navy did not refuse to cooperate in filming "The Caine Mutiny" because the mentally unbalanced Navy officer was portrayed as an Annapolis man. The Navy protested, according to its letter to Columbia Pictures, that "The character delineation of the principals must not be so oversimplified as to make it appear that the Navy would tolerate for very long a vindictive and vicious officer in command position or another unbalanced officer plotting against him. In addition, it is stated unequivocally that the Navy would not offer co-operation of any kind, should the title include the word,'mutiny.' As I mentioned to you, there... "The character delineation of the principals must not be so oversimplified as to make it appear that the Navy would tolerate for very long a vindictive and vicious officer in command position or another unbalanced officer plotting against him. In addition, it is stated unequivocally that the Navy would not offer co-operation of any kind, should the title include the word, 'mutiny.' As I mentioned to you... there has never been a mutiny in the Navy." Washington Pipeline General Eisenhower's name will definitely be filed in the Republican New Hampshire primary Jan. 11 by young Republicans associated with Senator Tobey. This will be significant, because in 1948 Ike asked that his name be withdrawn from the New Hampshire ballot. If he lets it stick this time, he will be running and as a Republican. The Russians seem to be using Korea as a training ground. They brought in a brand-new batch of pilots last week to fly their MIG-15's over Korea. It was obvious to our pilots that the new reds were green at combat flying. Only diplomat who got the VIP treatment at the Soviet Embassy party last week was Premier Mossadegh of Iran. The Russians supplied Mossadegh with a four-man escort to run interference through the big crowd which clustered three deep around the caviar. (American guests at the Soviet Embassy shun Soviet champagne which is sweet and usually hot, but make a bee-line for the bowls of caviar.)" Water interests in Riverside and San Bernardino counties also have been growing restless at the increasing inroads upon the local underground water supply by cities, which really have no legal right to the water. That attitude of the outside water interests actually was no surprise to the Orange County Water district officials, who knew their suit against the cities would receive a sympathetic reception from the water companies and agricultural interests in the upper basin. The secret of this lack of feeling in the neighboring counties is, of course, found in the fact that the cities can get water elsewhere—from the Colorado river. Also because there is a strong movement in those counties to get the cities into the Metropolitan Water district, so they can import Colorado river water. Jeff Prendergast, the Redlands farm and water leader, had issued a statement to the press on the day before the Orange county suit was filed, pointing out that the four cities named in the suit are being surrounded by territory belonging to MWD. He said, in effect, that the cities would have to co-operate in importing outside water or they would have a fight on their hands. The potential fight, in the form of Orange county's law suit, materialized almost before the printer's ink was dry. Prendergast must have been startled. Privately, the Orange county water officials had sent word upriver that the local suit, which, if successful, could cut back the cities' use of basin water to the average they have approved.

OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER FOR THE EDIFICATION of the uninformed, this is National Cat Week. It opened Monday with a dull thud, got through Tuesday with no evidence of counter-propaganda measures from the dog lovers, and as midweek rolls past, public enthusiasm seems to have reached a peak of almost unparalleled indifference. Your alert reporter is gratified to record that the whole thing seems to be going over like a cast iron balloon. The organized cat lovers have, so far, failed to come forth with that old standby of theirs: an Associated Press wirephoto showing city firemen rescuing a yowling, spitting and ungrateful old Tomcat from atop a public utilities pole. But the week's not out yet. That picture will pop up somewhere along the line, and if the Gazette publishes it, I will seek employment out there on the prairie at the Westminster Herald. It may be pure coincidence, but I have accorded more than passing attention to my old Spitting Tom this week. As I have reported here before, he is part Siamese, and when I look upon his evil countenance and observe his slothful and sneaking ways, it is little wonder to me that the country his breed was originally named after has long since by plebiscite changed its name to Thailand. It was only the other afternoon that my neighbor to the rear, name of Dan Stewart, beckoned me over to the fence for a friendly chat about the relative merits of Truman and Taft, a discussion which suddenly narrowed down to Hal Boyle NEW YORK (UP)—To get ahead in show business today you have to develop the art of squelching hecklers gracefully. For hecklers hang out in the swank night clubs as well as the rafters of Madison Square Garden. "They fall into two broad types—people who try to get into the act deliberately, and those who unconsciously slow up the show," said Margaret Phelan, a red-haired Texas lass who has become one of America's top supper club singers. Sometimes performers have a wild desire to go to work on boorish hecklers with a baseball bat. Many do keep a stock collection of cutting deep freeze remarks handy to chill noisy showoffs. The oldest standby: "Why don't you just turn yourself into a hoop and roll away?" But Maggie prefers generally to rely on a pretty smile and a friendly rebuke that leaves no string.

But this is your column so I won't mention KNBH. Now, to get back to the subject of this piece. What was the subject, by the way? Oh, yes, I was looking for one. How about 10,000 words on "The Care and Feeding of Cameramen?" Perhaps "TeeVee or Not TeeVee." Maybe a scientific treatise entitled "It's a Good Thing Electrons Attract Each Other Because They Sure Don't Attract Me." Nope,' none of those subjects seem very interesting. You know something, Danson? Maybe writing a column every day and coming up with fresh material is harder than I thought. I'll make a deal with you. You keep writing columns and I'll keep directing television shows. Sorry I called your racket a racket. Why, man, this is a profession. But you can have it, Tom. I'll just do a slow lap dissolve out of here and let you take over. TELE-TIPS . . .

It was only the other afternoon that my neighbor to the rear, name of Dan Stewart, beckoned me over to the fence for a friendly chat about the relative merits of Truman and Taft, a discussion which suddenly narrowed down to the relative merits of cats and rabbits. Seems that my old Tom had been making nightly forays to the neighbor's rabbit hutches, eating as high as five or six fresh-born rabbits at a sitting. Just about the only rebuttal I could offer to this damaging indictment was a casual: "Oh, well, cats will be cats." To which he replied, somewhat less casually: "Well, your's won't be, for long." Now, although I felt no inclination to leap to the defense of the cat, these seemed to be strong words. I felt that a personal affront had been suffered. Diplomatic relations were broken off immediately, and I returned his lawnmower, his pipe wrench, and his garden hose. He silently and grimly brought back my bathroom scales, lawn sprinkler, electric drill and an old fire tool which I hadn't laid eyes on for near five months. An hour later his white-faced wife came over with a cup of sugar and four eggs, long-loaned commodities which she thrust on my startled spouse with the snappish rejoinder: "I hope you didn't starve on account of these. It's a fine way for you-all to act after I gave you them geraniums last summer." And not long after that we perceived our boy and their boy methodically lobbing squishy persimmon across the fence at each other. Two families alienated for life, perhaps, all because of a grinning, thieving cat! And this week we are asked to be kinder than usual to the beasts. OK, I'll go along. All this week I won't kick wild desire to go to work on boorish hecklers with a baseball bat. Many do keep a stock collection of cutting deep freeze remarks handy to chill noisy showoffs. The oldest standby: "Why don't you just turn yourself into a hoop and roll away?" But Maggie prefers generally to rely on a pretty smile and a friendly rebuke that leaves no string. "You don't want to make them mad," she said. "You just want to make them aware they are disturbing others—and holding up the show. The audience doesn't like it, either, if an entertainer embarrases a heckler too much, unles he is completely out of hand. Surprisingly, Miss Phelan says there are just about as many women hecklers as men. "But it is much harder to handle a woman heckler," she said, "because she often is doing it deliberately." Here are seven types of deliberate and unconscious night club hecklers she has catalogued: 1. The lost soul—"He wanders from chair to chair, table to table, all through the performance." 2. The fellows with determined looks who keep walking in and out of the spotlight, holding their hands to their foreheads like Idian scouts—"they are looking for the men's room." 3. The silverware droppers, ice-in-the-glass tinklers, and the swizzle - stick - against - the-glass rhythm keepers—"whether they are dropping a fork or trying to keep time, they are always a half beat off." 4. The frustrated Carusos—"They want to make a duet of your solo. Thank heaven, there aren't many of these." 5. The would-be Milton Berles —"They make loud wisecracks, probably hoping a television producer in the audience will hear them and hire them. But I never heard of anybody getting a job that way." 6.

It is evident that you appreciate the position of the Christian churches in Anaheim, and that you are always willing to cooperate with them. This is a wonderful condition to have in any community, and something we all should be proud of and earnestly strive to maintain. Thanks again. H. L. HEINZE, Pres.

SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — Flabergasted physicians today predicted the complete recovery of Theresa Butler, 60-year-old widow pronounced dead and sent to the morgue six days ago. SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—A 45-year-old San Francisco woman told a divorce court judge her husband informed her: "People in their forties should forget sex." —"They make loud wisecracks, probably hoping a television producer in the audience will hear them and hire them. But I never heard of anybody getting a job that way." 6. The lady conversationalists —"They try to talk above the music because they want to be the life of their party. But if they'd wait until the show was over, they'd have more to talk about—when they'll need some conversation. 7. The elderly kittenish romeos —"Usually you can quiet them with a wink. I'm afraid to do it by kissing them on their bald heads—there's so much heart trouble around these days." Recognize your type? Maggie has found the least heckling in San Francisco and New York, the most in England and Texas. "But the English and Texans are good-natured about it, and I like happy hecklers. If you kid back and get the best of them, they like that better than the rest of the show." There is a maverick breed, however, that disconcertis any performer. "That's the strong, silent heman heckler, and he's the worst of all." Maggie said, smiling. "He's the type who sits at a ringside table with his back turned to you all the time you're on." There's nothing you can do with him. But I just figure his wife has got him buffaloed—he doesn't dare turn around."
