THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BEBLER LEONARD KREIDT STANLEY JONES NEIL STANLEY GIE EELLEN WALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Publisher Assistant Publisher City Editor Sports Editor Advertising Manager Advertising Manager Classified Advertising Manager Circulation Manager Orange county's red school books ... Somebody dreamed up the "sensational news" that communism is espoused in "Orange county school textbooks." Then one of the papers around here printed the great expose. And, the Un-American activities group of the American Legion says it will spearhead a drive to search out the "subversive" books in school reading lists and libraries. These books, then will be labeled as "subversives"—but allowed to remain in the libraries. Trying to make a sensation out of "communism in Orange county textbooks" we believe, is about as scatterbrained a proposition as we have heard. We have queried some teachers and school officials on the mupposition—and, do you know, not one of them really can substantiate the big "expose'." As to screening the library books and labeling them as "subversive." That in itself won't hurt anything. (But, who is the omniscient fellow who knows all things about all library books) man emotion or belief. Schoolbooks today, surely, are better than they ever have been. It appears to us that generation after generation of Americans have not been tainted to the point of revolution by the beliefs and "isms" which excitable people have been reading into books from the Year One. So, when someone tries to sell you the idea that our school textbooks are shot through with communist philosophy, just ask him to produce the offending books and the unthinking individuals who read the books and began COULD IT BE POSITIVE to wonder what is going on in Korea? A lot of blood opened, and a lot of bridge settlement. We have long vaunted myth of "military pride in getting things done" dispatch. If the Korean ceasefire "negotiations" are an example military efficiency, then let have some good old civilian efficiency. It's quicker. It is a foregone conclusion that the communists are not sinning in this serio-comic opera. The command is undoubtedly sincere in its desire to end the shootings and the killing, but its hand of the armistice talks has nothing but professional. Gen. Ridgway, successor to Emperor MacArthur's glittering throne Japan, has some explaining to on that score. Why, for instance, was discipline relaxed to such an extent that U.N. planes violated the neutral zone by strafing KK song at a time when a break of covenant could conceivably have precipitated a third world war? Ridgway must be terribly concerned about the whole thing. Was not long ago that an Associated Press wirephoto came showing him with his wife watching a baseball game in Tokyo, only day before yesterday the news was received that he was somewhere in Japan hunting ducks at the same time that one of... We have queried some teachers and school officials on the supposition—and, do you know, not one of them really can substantiate the big "expose". As to screening the library books and labeling them as "subversive." That in itself won't hurt anything. (But, who is the omniscient fellow who knows all things about all library books?) It might even start open discussion on communism, which would be a good thing. But, we suggest the American Legion make sure it knows what it is doing—and then do it quietly. No use needlessly getting folks stirred up (although it is doubtful it can be done) over whether or not we should instruct students to read "Grapes of Wrath" or "Literature for Our Time" with care because the books might turn a high school lad into a ranting red. Undoubtedly there is some radical material in textbooks. Such as the story of those hot-heads way back yonder who took matters into their own hands and dumped tea into Boston Harbor; or those revolutionaries who joined George Washington in overthrowing the then-existing government; and, if you read carefully, you may spot other such radicalism!! The textbooks of our schools represent a huge mass of material on every subject. Because of its immensity and diversity, our textbook material undoubtedly contains paragraphs which witch hunters could interpret to almost any shade of humor. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago November 1876 Winter fashions—Our correspondent, writing from San Francisco, says: For the benefit of you lady readers I can say that pin-backs are tighter than ever. Bumor says that for the winter season the fair sex are to be in town during the week. That popular house Harris & Falkenstein, announce a Christmas exhibition of novelties, to begin the last week in November. The display will consist of imported goods, dolls, toys and fancy articles to make joyful the later generation of Americans have not been tainted by the beliefs and "isms" which excitable people have been reading into books from the Year One. So, when someone tries to sell you the idea that our school textbooks are shot through with communist philosophy, just ask him to produce the offending books and the unthinking individuals who read the books and began bowing toward the Kremlin. You know, the writer of this piece has often thought the fellow travellers must get a big boot from the hysteria we voluntarily generate over communism. Most of the hysteria is based on ignorance of communism rather than a complete knowledge of its aims. Don't you think there should be more enlightened explanation of communism in our schools? We mean intelligent explanations of its sordid background, its criminal aspirations, its fallacies, and how it can be recognized and combatted. Maybe somebody ought to write a textbook on the subject and make it required reading by every school student. The danger of communism in schools is said to lie in teachers with communistic leanings trying covertly to convert students to the party line. Maybe we'd be smart to bring communism out into the open and expose it to all students for what it really is. A good understanding of what communism is could be communism's worst foe. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 6 a.m.—U.N. and communist officers arrive by jeep. (Communists ride in U.S.-built jeep original sent to Chiang-Kai-Shek. Print on its side is the legend; "Buy U.S. War Bonds." 6:01—Salutes are exchanged U.N. officers stride into tent, followed by communist officers. (The commissars went in first yesterday. From one end of the tent, Stalins impassive face stares down from a huge portrait. A blow-up photograph of Harry Truman decorates the other end. 6:02—Opposing factions take seats on opposite sides of a table which is covered by a U.S. Army blanket. Commies sit down first followed by U.N. officials. (The U.N. officers sat down first yesterday). 6:03—Thirty miles away, in the cold wet dawn, a soldier in the grimy combat uniform of the U.S. infantry rises from his foot hole to stretch cramped arms and legs. A spurt of bullets from enemy lines slams into him and he falls back against the rim of the fox hole, completely relaxed. Someone yells "medics," but when the aid man reaches him it is too late. 6:04—A nattily-uniformed and clean-shaven sergeant of Military Police enters the conference tent, not forgetting to salute briskly. His gesture of obeisance is acknowledged silently by his superiors, and he approaches the table, fumbling in an important-looking briefcase. 75 Years Ago November 1876 Winter fashions—Our correspondent, writing from San Francisco, says: For the benefit of you lady readers I can say that pin-backs are tighter than ever. Bumor says that for the winter season the fair sex are to be invested in full suits of buckskin underwear, made in masculino fashion, to give the so desired slimness of figure, combined with warmth. Underskirts will, in consequence, be discarded. The trimming on the dress skirts will be entirely wanting or as compact as possible, and the long pollenaise will reach almost to the bottom of the skirt. The general aspect of a lady of fashion at the present much resembles a bird common in our woods, slim and jet black as to its body, the only color visible being a spot of bright scarlet on its crested head. 50 Years Ago November 1901 Misses Zelma and George Bailey, who have been absent in Mazatlan, Mexico for a year are expected home on Monday. They have been in San Francisco the past week, sightseeing with relatives in the metropolis. They will continue on to Phoenix to join their parents Dr. and Mrs. O. H. Bailey who are at present residing in that city. Mrs. S. R. Lyon of Redlands (formerly Miss Fannie Higgins) spent several days with relatives in town during the week. That popular house Harris & Falkenstein, announce a Christmas exhibition of novelties, to begin the last week in November. The display will consist of imported goods, dolls, toys and fancy articles to make joyful the hearts of the little folk. This is designed to be the finest display of toys ever made in Orange county, and kids from all over the valley should make it a point to have their parents take them to see it. Don't miss it. 25 Years Ago November 1926 As a meeting in Garden Grove last week of the Pepper Growers division of the Orange County Farm Bureau, J. A. Knapp of Garden Grove was elected chairman and R. E. Geren secretary. The purpose of the meeting was to start a campaign against the pepper weevil. That sentiment in Orange county is now favorable to the harbor bond proposal, and that the issue will be endorsed by the voters at the election on December 14, is indicated by the support given it in all sections of the county. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors has made public a statement giving unanswerable reasons why the public should support the bonds. Mr. Talbert says that Orange county has everything to gain and nothing to lose in the development of the harbor at Newport bay. 6:04—A nattily-uniformed and clean-shaven sergeant of Military Police enters the conference tent, not forgetting to salute briskly. His gesture of obeisance is acknowledged silently by his superiors, and he approaches the table, fumbling in an important-looking briefcase. It is a dramatic moment. Communist and U.N. officers lean tensely forward. They pay no heed to the drone of high-flying planes, although one U.S. officer glances hurriedly at his watch. Both delegations seem to sense that this courier brings something which all have been waiting for. The sergeant, obviously under great strain, finally produces a small packet from the briefcase and hands it to the senior U.S. officer. Junior officers, sensing that something big is about to break, leave the tent. Remaining at the table are two U.N. officers on one side; two communist officers on the other. The U.S. officer slowly and deliberately breaks the seal on the packet, riffles through the contents, then hands each conference an equal number of intricately-figured cards. The silence in the tent is heavy, broken only by a far-away rumble which might be thunder or might be the muttering of big guns. At long last a U.S. officer interrupts the period of strained meditation with the brisk and business-like announcement: "All right, let's get this thing started. I bid three, no-trump." OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER COULD IT BE POSSIBLE that you, too, are beginning wonder what is going on at those so-called armistice talks Korea? A lot of blood has ebbed since the negotiations ended, and a lot of bridges have gone under water. Still no element. We have long had drummed into us the highly-anticipated myth of "military efficiency." The military takes in getting things done with watch. If the Korean cease-fire negotiations" are an example of tary efficiency, then let us some good old civilian inefficiency. It's quicker. is a foregone conclusion that communists are not sincere his serio-comic opera. The U.N. man is undoubtedly sincere is desire to end the shooting the killing, but its handling the armistice talks has been thing but professional. General away, successor to Emperor Arthur's glittering throne in man, has some explaining to do that score. Why, for instance, was disci relaxed to such an extent U.N. planes violated the moral zone by strafing Kaer at a time when a breach covenant could conceivably precipitated a third world way must be terribly conceived about the whole thing. It not long ago that an Assoc Press wirephoto came in him with his wife watch-baseball game in Tokyo, and day before yesterday the news received that he was out where in Japan hunting ducks same time that one of his ATHENS, Greece (P)—A special court martial sentenced 12 persons to death today on charges of attempting to revive Greece's communist underground. GORMAN, Calif. (P)—The bodies of four plane crash victims, among them two well known auto race drivers, were being brought out of steep mountain country today by work crews. TV-RADIOLOGIC Philip Norman's Fan Mail Heavy and Most Unusual By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—If Philip Norman, "The Voice" of KNX's Housewives Protective League," and "Starlight Salute," worked in a bank he would be under grave suspicion. He is a dark-haired rugged individual who carries a small suitcase with him constantly, and his hurried walk gives the impression of a man who's afraid of being late to the airport. This all is incorrect, however, and Norman is innocent of any charge except that of being a conscientious radio personality who finds it almost impossible to keep up with his fan mail. Within that suitcase he carries the letters that he tries to answer personally within a given period, plus two sandwiches—which he eats on the run. The majority of Phil's fan mail comes from housewives, some of whom consider him as "The Man Who Knows Everything." Mozayeni, in Persia, asking permission to use some of the text from one of his broadcasts which the general had found to be inspirational to his countrymen. (The program is heard over Armed Forces Radio abroad, thus some foreign mail). But not housewives alone respond to Norman's resonant voice over the airlines. A few weeks ago, after advertising a moving van company, he received a card: "You say when moving to notify the moving van people, so please tell them I moved yesterday. My new address is—" The card was signed by a rancher in Montana. DOWN TV-RADIO ROW Curt Massey says: "Too many video queens show TV — Tell-tale Vanity." ...

Down in Florida the cooperatives do not "rule and run" everything like they do here in California. But this sale in Florida Citrus Exchange takes a big chunk of processing facilities out of the "free enterprise" category. In our "free enterprise" system the profit motive is the controlling factor. That is why we try to put out a better newspaper, why General Motors tries to put out a better automobile, why Snow Crop tries to make better frozen orange concentrate. And if the product is sold for a loss the money comes right out of the seller's pocketbook. When Mr. Wilcox signed the "cheaper fruit" contract, of evil memory, he did not take a red cent out of his own pocket—but the Exchange growers simply got less money for their fruit. When the Exchange dropped the price of Sunkist frozen concentrate a week or so ago it simply meant that Exchange growers took the rap—not a single one of the "hired help" lost a red cent. And therein boys and girls, a great big story asks for the "gettin." Now when Snow Crop dropped its price to put itself more nearly in line with Sunkist (Sunkist still is lower) the whole group of people who own stock in Snow Crop took the rap. The heads of the corporation except that of being a conscientious radio personality who finds it almost impossible to keep up with his fan mail. Within that suitcase he carries the letters that he tries to answer personally within a given period, plus two sandwiches—which he eats on the run. The majority of Phil's fan mail comes from housewives, some of whom consider him as "The Man Who Knows Everything." They write not only to discuss food products, but to ask what to do with old coins, how to raise chinchillas, how to make money on inventions, or — as one woman wrote: "Please tell me where and when the Russians will drop the atom bomb!" It worries Norman a little, but also moves him deeply, when people consider him such a personal friend as to tell him their troubles. The mildest of these may begin: "I look forward to both your afternoon and evening programs because your voice helps me forget my troubles. It spoils me ... Please tell me what to do about my cat who refuses to nurse her kittens." In contrast, Norman recently received a letter from Gen. M. When Mr. Wilcox signed the "cheaper fruit" contract, of evil memory, he did not take a red cent out of his own pocket—but the Exchange growers simply got less money for their fruit. When the Exchange dropped the price of Sunkist frozen concentrate a week or so ago it simply meant that Exchange growers took the rap—not a single one of the "hired help" lost a red cent. And therein, boys and girls, a great big story asks for the "gettin." Now when Snow Crop dropped its price to put itself more nearly in line with Sunkist (Sunkist still is lower) the whole group of people who own stock in Snow Crop took the rap. The heads of the corporation own plenty of stock and they hated like sin to cut the price of their product. FLORIDA GROWERS are not nearly so sold on the cooperative movement as we are here in California. But there is one great difference between the cooperatives in Florida and the big, arrogant holier-than-thou California Fruit Growers Exchange and that is, to put it very simply: In Florida there is close grower participation and the Florida growers run the policy. In the Kremlin the "hired help" tell the growers what is what and are hard put to it to conceal their contempt for the little grower who stands, hat in hand, thankful to hear the "success story" of his valued employees. That would be a big laugh if it were not so pitiful in so many cases. And so true. All of which makes a very sour case against the California co-operative and the Florida people are well aware of it and do not propose to let that sort of bureaucracy grow up in their deal. We know that Chas. Metcalf will be with Florida Citrus Exchange when this Snow Crop deal is over and this gentleman is no stranger to "rock and sock" business, having been with General Mills and in Wall street before going with Clinton. He does not come from a state-supported set-up and into a tax-exempt organization but from the stern free-enterprise side of our society. What Florida Citrus Exchange will do to Metcalf is just as interesting as what Metcalf will do to the Florida organizaton. OF COURSE, Florida Citrus Mutual is firmly entrenched in the industry and this great organization is the GROWER'S bulwark. Mutual is the main reason the Florida grower gets the equivalent in MONEY of the economic value of his crop. Without Mutual the Florida grower would be virtually as helpless against the big Wall street money as the California grower is against the "ruling class" who are on that same grower's payroll. Laugh that off. Mutual protects the growers income in Florida. It would keep incompetents from giving our fruit away if we had one in California. There is no laugh in that last one.
