Legion position on book screening... In this column recently— 1. Reference was made to scatterbrained newspaper editorial writers who are trying to read the communist line into "Orange county school textbooks." The Gazette suggested the writers to get off dreaming up sensations and try to evaluate the school system fairly. 2. And, reference was made to the American Legion thusly: "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 labelled as 'subversive' — but allowed to remain in the libraries. "As to screening the library books and labelling them as 'sub-minist conspiracy are no different than the patriots who revolted against taxation without representation by dumping tea sent over from England in the Boston harbor; no different than efforts of people all through history who have sought to rid themselves from oppression, this is the propaganda theme they would establish. Hitler used it on the people of France prior to the last war and the French folded up in the first year as a result. Now as to the subject at hand: In 1947, a determined effort was made by a group of individuals to put in use in the elementary schools of this state a series of textbooks for the 7th and 8th grades, entitled "Building America." They had enlisted in their 2. And, reference was made to the American Legion thusly: "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 labelled as 'subversive' — but allowed to remain in the libraries. "As to screening the library books and labelling 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." After re-studying the article in which Points 1 and 2 above appeared, we can see where the two points could be confusing to readers, and might not appear to be separate and distinct points as was the Gazette's intended purpose. And, so, the Gazette received the following letter from the local post of the American Legion. It was prepared by the Un-American Activities committee which is chairmanned by Tom Hoag. Mr. Hoag also is vice-commander of the local Legion post. The letter follows: Your editorial description of our effort to check up on the textbooks used in the schools of Anaheim as being something that "Somebody dreamed up as sensational news" and which you think is "As scatterbrained a proposition as we have heard," we feel calls for an opportunity to reply. First: let us make our position clear. Our investigation in no way is a reflection on any member of any school board or their administration or any teacher in Anaheim. They are all citizens Now as to the subject at hand: In 1947, a determined effort was made by a group of individuals to put in use in the elementary schools of this state a series of textbooks for the 7th and 8th grades, entitled "Building America." They had enlisted in their effort the assistance of the Superintendent of Schools, Roy E. Simpson. They had sold the idea to the State Curriculum Commission of the State Board of Education. WHICH IS THE STATE BUREAU THAT SELECTS THE TEXTBOOKS THAT SHALL BE USED IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THIS STATE. A number of gullible individuals had been enlisted in the campaign to put these books in the schools and the program was all set had it not been for the State Senate which refused to appropriate the money to buy the books. Extensive hearings were held by the State Senate Investigation Committee on Education headed by Senator Dilworth in which the infinite pattern of Communist propaganda was shown to exist in many subjects. It was established that much of the text had been written by persons who affiliated with dozens of organizations who have been declared to be subversive by the Attorney General of the United States and our own State Un-American Activities Committee. The general pattern of this whenever possible, unpleasant occurrences in our past history such as depressions, poverty, slums, labor disturbances, alleged discrimination against minority groups, were over emphasized and played up as permanent conditions continually existing. All the sordid parts of our national life was given the full treatment of exaggeration. On the other hand, our accomplishments as a nation in providing our people with the highest standards of living in the world were passed lightly by. By comparison, it was pointed out that everything in the Soviet Union was milk, honey, and general happiness for all, while ev... Anaheim as being something that "Somebody dreamed up as sensational news" and which you think is "As scatterbrained a proposition as we have heard," we feel calls for an opportunity to reply. First: let us make our position clear. Our investigation in no way is a reflection on any member of any school board or their administration or any teacher in Anaheim. They are all citizens of unimpeachable integrity and entitled to the thanks of the community for the time they give to this important civic duty. Second: this effort on our part is not a local idea that originated within our post but is part of the program of the American Legion in combating communism throughout the nation. A campaign that we have carried on longer than any other organization in the United States. We take pride in the fact that our efforts have been rewarded by our being classed by the American Communists as being within the top three organizations in this country whom they consider their greatest enemy. We are proud of our place on that list and hope that we might enjoy the distinction of being first in the near future. One of our greatest difficulties in carrying on this work is the belief on the part of a surprising large segment of our people that this subject of communism is something that need not be taken seriously and if left alone, will probably dry up and blow away. This attitude, we feel, confirms our case in part. After all, if the public mind can be "conditioned" to believe that the whole thing is harmless and that those engaged in the com- ually existing. All the sordid parts of our national life was given the full treatment of exaggeration. On the other hand, our accomplishments as a nation in providing our people with the highest standards of living in the world were passed lightly by. By comparison, it was pointed out that everything in the Soviet Union was milk, honey, and general happiness for all, while everything American was all wrong. Even after all this was brought out in these hearings, the State Superintendent of Schools confined in his effort to put these books in the schools and in a public address late in 1947, criticized the legislature for withholding funds to purchase the books. We think the committee's conclusion that Mr. Simpson had not been "intentionally" disloyal was a very charitable view. We do not hold that members of the State Board of Education or the Curriculum Committee are communists, sympathizers or disloyal citizens. We do contend, however, that it certainly proves the point that an expert in education is not an expert in detecting communist propaganda and that they are just as gullible and easily taken in as are the large segment of the people (including many, many, newspaper editors). The Senate Investigation Committee on Education has continued it's Inquiry and with the aid of trained investigators and expert researchers in the field of communist propaganda, they have made an examination of textbooks recommended by the Curriculum Commission for use in the public schools. So far, about 125 books on this list have been found to (Continued on Page 4) about price controls." . . La-A-bomb explosions near Vegas will not cost the government so much money in brook windows. Last January, the government paid $17,000 for mplaster and broken glass. Now damage will be less than $10,000 Worse Than Berlin American pilots have been rining into worse flak over the Korean village of Sananju they encountered over Berlin during World War II. Reason for the intense antiaircraft fire is that the communists are trying to build three air strips near Sananju. If they are completed, the communists will move their MIG-15 fighters across the Yalu river for the first time in the entire Korea war and thus be closer to the front. In fact, this will put them in a position to hammer out front lines, whereas hitherto they have only fought defensively.- Or, in case of a truce and freeze on arms going into Korea the communists would have ther air force already inside Korea. Our planes are paying a terrific cost keep these fields knocked out, but so far the MIGs still have to stay on the other side of the Yalu. No Bargaining Jovial, tough-skinned Mike Salle, the government's price warden, has learned that you can satisfy all manufacturers even part of the time. Di Salle's alces were discussing price controls on stoves and ranges at a meeting with industry spokesmen who kept demanding that prices be fixed by the "historic markup" formula. In other words, they wanted the traditional profit allowance... WASHINGTON — Exuberant George Bender, the Ohio Convessman, popped the question to general Eisenhower during a two-one-half hour relaxed chat with the general in Paris. Bender, a rootin'-tootin' Taft supporter, looked Ike in the eye and said with a grin: "general, is you or ain't you, and now?" General Eisenhower's eyes skinked but he made no direct reply. Instead he emphasized toider and three other visitinggressmen the great importance of his job in Europe. It was due to the safety of mankind to form Europe, the general said, no matter what individual sacrifices were involved. Young Dick Bolling, the clean-Kansas City Democrat, suggested in half-humorous vein: General, if you do run for presidency, I am sure you will be much easier on the Democratic ticket." The Republican party is the party of free enterprise," said loudly and firmly. "The democrats are all socialists and would not get along with them." At another point in the concession, Congressman Bender and Ike: "What about that our Krock story in The New York Times saying you and Presidential Trump talked politics?" OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER AS THE 1951 intercollegiate football season grinds to a screeching halt there is reason to believe that college football across the nation is held in even lower esteem than is the national administration. But movements are under way, apparently, to clean up both of them. Latest blast at college football comes from no less an authority than New York City's General Sessions Judge Saul Streit who, after sentencing 15 college basketball "fixers" handed down an opinion warning that college football was headed down the same road which ruined the reputation of big-time college basketball. The judge produced some astounding figures. For instance, he said that the University of Tennessee grossed $1,347,000 from football last year. The university, the judge continued, spends $250,000 a year on football, $100,000 of it in the form of scholarships. His Honor went on to say that the university's scouting and recruiting program was conducted on a scale unparalleled by any big league baseball club. The legal brain cited other figures: The University of Pennsylvania showed a $461,000 football profit last year. The University of Kentucky grossed $1,200,000. Southern Methodist, he said, grants 154 athletic scholarships per year; Texas A & M 120, and the University of Texas 100. A limiting intercollegiate competition to seniors ... to assure the college of using players who have been tested as students." People are beginning to wonder why football stars are allowed to major in such mentally taxing courses as rudimentary arithmetic, free-trimming and swimming. Modern college football heroes play for something more than the clean glory of winning a contest. They play to make the cash registers jingle. When big money enters the picture, non-professional sports undergo a sudden change of complexion. Judge Streit, in pointing a stern finger at college football, has rendered an admirable extra-curricular service. Step down, football ... next case!

DANSON APPLE VALLEY—With Alice Faye, Phil Harris and young Alice and Phyllis, this great "place in the sun" was again visited, and always, I can't keep from raving about this up-and-coming locality. After getting our hats properly "hung" in the beautiful Chartreuse House, just across from the Inn, next step on the agenda was to place a few long distance calls. That complete feeling of isolation suddenly came over the crowd as information came the crowds as information came through that all lines were out because of a construction change-over. During conversation with genial Newton Bass, big boss of the organization, a story pertaining to communications (which column is usually written about) came to light. Seems that a few years ago, when military demands were so great with the telephone systems, Apple Valley couldn't get a telephone system installed in the wide expanse of cottages and rooms for their guests. This wasn't going to stop the enterprising Newt Bass, however, for within a day's time aload of carrier pigeons was on the premises. With one bird small cage attached to each outlying room, and a ter cage, equipped with a electric buzzer located at Inn, room service carried this unique manner.
