THEODORE E. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIDT Chief Editor STANLEY JONES Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager G.E. WELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Mr. Warren's hat is in ... (From The New York Times) Gov. Earl Warren's announcement that he is a candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination will quicken interest in a campaign that already has American voters sitting on the edge of their chains. The Chief Executive of California now joins the senior Senator from Ohio in the field, and at this stage we agree with Mr. Taft in saying "the more the merrier." The Presidency of the United States is a prize worthy of the efforts and aspirations of the country's ablest and most experienced men. It is a healthy thing for each of the parties to be able to select its nominee from among a wide variety of candidates of the highest caliber; if they refuse to make truly as Governor of California, Earl Warren is a liberal Republican of foremost rank. Generally considered to be internationalist in foreign policy and progressive in domestic, he has won tremendous popularity among the ordinary voters of his own state, though some of the legislation he has endorsed has earned him the sharp opposition of specific groups and interests. Governor Warren became nationally known as Vice-Presidential nominee on the Dewey ticket in 1948, and, in the absence of Eisenhower, he is often spoken of now as a possible rallying point for the anti-Taft forces at the convention next year. In any case, a "favorite son" who is likely to start off with the vote of all seventy delegates from the As in several other recently reported, her career doing radicals, paralleling stakes doing just one line, "They wouldn't trust more to start," she said she became associated "Radio Theater," do their soap commen WASHINGTON—The bitterness felt among U.S. military leaders are the massacre of some 6000 American troops in Korea also extends back to similar bitterness over the Malmedy massacre. If the Ss men who shot down 150 American prisoners in cold blood during the battle of the Bufa had been properly punished instead of being held up to the public as innocent victims by Senator McCarthy, it is believed a precedent would have been set to discourage such massacres in the future. The grim story of the Malmedy massacre and the campaign staged on the Senate floor to protect the Nazi murderers was one of the most shameful in years. Forty-three of the cold-blooded Nazis "blow-torch battalion" had been condemned to death for the savage, cold-blooded shooting of 150 American prisoners, when suddenly Senator McCarthy demanded an investigation. He charged that American prosecutors had extorted confessions. The Senate Armed Services committee appointed a subcommittee under Republican Sen. Ray Baldwin of Connecticut, to probe McCarthy's charges, and a lengthy hearing took place at which McCarthy, thought not a member of the committee, demanded the right to cross-examine and treated American officers as if they, not the Nazis, were the war criminals. When Col. Burton F. Ellis chief men whose word McCarthy accepted. As a result, the committee actually voted on the use of a lie detector and turned the idea down. Shortly thereafter, McCarthy walked out of the hearings denouncing them as a "shameful force" and a "deliberate and clever attempt to white-wash the American military." Naturally, his speeches were cabled daily to Germany, played up in the German press, and used by communists to inflame the public. Finally, McCarthy delivered a full-dress attack on the Senate floor, charging a "whitewash" and accusing his GOP colleague, Senator Baldwin, of being "criminally responsible." Again these charges made headlines in Germany, in fact around the world. The communist press was gleeful in its reaction. McCarthy's charges were so violent that every member of the Armed Services committee signed a statement praising the "integrity" of Senator Baldwin and condemning McCarthy's "unfair and utterly undeserved comments." This of course did not get a play in the German and communist press. Meanwhile, German public opinion was so enraged that the death sentences were commuted. The Malmedy war criminals have not hanged for their cold-blooded, hilarious murder of 150 American prisoners, and in a few short weeks the precedent which U.S. military leaders hoped to create to discourage future war crimes was out the window.

DOWN TV-RADIO Jack Benny's Sportsman who have had such success in their ni committee appointed a subcommittee under Republican Sen. Ray Baldwin of Connecticut, to probe McCarthy's charges, and a lengthy hearing took place at which McCarthy, thought not a member of the committee, demanded the right to cross-examine and treated American officers as if they, not the Nazis, were the war criminals. When Col. Burton F. Ellis, chief prosecutor in the Malmedy trial, took the witness stand, McCarthy interrupted after only one minute of testimony and proceeded to denounce him. Finally, Senator Huni of Wyoming, not given to extravagant statements, intervened. "Hilarious" Murder "This is not a prosecution," he said. "What we are trying to do is just to get the witnesses' statements, and then we will be the judge of whether they did things in the right manner." "I entirely disagree," shouted McCarthy. "If that is the purpose I am wasting my time." McCarthy then charged Kenneth F. Ahrens of Erie, Pa., one of the few survivors of the massacre, with "inflaming the public" and trying to "create a Roman holiday" when Ahrens stated that the Nazi SS men had been in a hilarious mood when they shot down 150 GIs in cold blood. McCarthy called the U.S. judges who condemned the Nazis "nourous," and demanded a lie detector test for the U.S. officers who had obtained the confessions. Senator Baldwin, a fellow Republican, suggested that if American officers had to suffer the humility of taking a lie test, then a lie test should also be given to the convicted SS press. Meanwhile, German public opinion was so enraged that the death sentences were commuted. The Malmedy war criminals have not hanged for their cold-blooded, hilarious murder of 150 American prisoners, and in a few short weeks the precedent which U.S. military leaders hoped to create to discourage future war crimes was out the window.

Wire recordings in a notorious tax-fix case are now missing. The Bureau of Internal Revenue can't locate the recordings, which are important evidence in the Gertrude Jenkins case. Mrs. Jenkins has charged that she paid $5000 to Reno Collector Pat Mooney to fix her tax-fraud case. T-men recorded the fix offer, which was made by M. M.

This is the same Don Smith whose RFC job was abolished because both Dawson and Smith were part of a ring influencing RFC loans...

DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Shooting schedules for the Frederick Ziv produced "Boston Blackie" television series will soon wind up for 1951, with their total of 26 episodes completed. With six more of the series yet to be produced the film should be "canned" within the next three weeks as present filming schedules call for two finished films per week. The company has been shooting this series in color, with the entire series now in the vault for future use, ACFL (after color freeze lift). I had the pleasure of talking with thepert little 5 foot, 1 inch, 102 pound actress, Lois Collier, fem star of the series, who reported that in this, her first comedy type role, she is having lots of fun. Lois came to California from Sally, N.C., eight years ago to visit her grandmother, and, as she puts it, "with no intention of getting into show business." (Paging the president of well-known Burlington Club... here's a candidate.) As in several other instances recently reported, Lois started her career doing radio commercials, paralleling similar cases, doing just one line at a time.

The el Football certainly is taking a beating these past few weeks from just about everyone interested in the sport and even from those that detest the colorful and popular sport. The general feeling in the country today seems to be that football is in for some drastic changes, not in the rules of the game, but in the surrounding factors such as alumni, coaches, paid players, post season games (bowls) and cribbing scandals. That feeling may be true as well as it is needed, but in the long run when the sports program has quisted down a little, there will still be football on the American scene. Football is now so firmly and deeply intrenched into the American way of life that it will never leave and when it does the people will go with it. Football is not only entertainment and a chief table topic, but it is something for the growing youth to strive for; it is a challenge to them to go out on the field or in their own back yard and throw the ball with definite precision and block with the ease of sitting down in a chair. Their brothers played the game at Cornell or Rutgers and they too want to play before 50 or 60,000 people on a Saturday afternoon. They want to be a part of something real, of the thing that drives people berserk on a Saturday, that for the sport to fact that it is from the rest of the country. There is a lazy thought put into more so than basic swimming. It could sport of chess, brain power put complicated and difficult. Football, too, can as running the ten minutes. It dried as is baseballs part. Certain men block others pull scrimmage and rush quest of setting posing player on top. There is the meaning the ball just neuer, but ever since the playing of win as is holding of try for the extra scoring of touchdown. In other words, pilicated and cut a set apart from all the country. It is enjoyed by all, many children. It is coated dangerous, healthy all alfalfa, year after shine. There just isn't a pare to the donner coat, a jug of hot under the arm, and As in several other instances recently reported, Lois started her career doing radio commercials, paralleling similar cases, doing just one line at a time.

I've completed 20 films in the 'Blackie' series and have worn 20 different outfit." Lois, who is 26 years old, stated that she learned to drive a car in the "Blackie" series because she had to, but I'm not taking it seriously," she said, "especially in Los Angeles!"

Copyright, 1951, by Universal Radio and TV Features Syndicate IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago November 1876 Felix Volkman, a former resident of Los Angeles and brother-in-law of Mrs. Strodthoff, died in England recently. The deceased had been in bad health for some time, and spent part of last year at the hot springs and in Anaheim as the guest of Mr. Strodthoff. A short time ago he took passage for Europe, accompanied by his wife and child, and during the voyage, which was a very stormy one, he contracted a cold cause of many a downfall. If Louis goes on in this way, cleaning up and making improvements, we shall not hold ourselves responsible for the results, but will endeavor to use our influence with the managers of "Casa Verde" at Stockton. 50 Years Ago November 1901 Mrs. Hussman has been critically ill for some days past, suffering from a complication of disgrace of many a downfall.

Carlos Guzman Tangles with Leone Tonight at OC Athletic One of the biggest wrestling favorites to hit this section in many years, Mexico's Carlos Guzman, younger of the two Guzman brothers, tonight meets Baron Michele Leone, world champion at the Orange County Athletic club. The Guzman-Leone match tops a four-star card which also features such favorites and top villains as Billy Varga, Firpo Zbysko, Cowboy Bob Clay, "Mad Mel" Peters, Chick Garibaldi and the Black Panther. The main event is billed for two out of three falls, one hour and is considered a natural with Guzman, known as the "Perpetual Motion Kid" going into the match with Baron fresh from three spectacular victories, the last at the expense of Tarzan Ted Christy.

Ron Brandon Team to W Felix Volkman, a former resident of Los Angeles and brother-in-law of Mrs. Strodthoff, died in England recently. The deceased had been in bad health for some time, and spent part of last year at the hot springs and in Anaheim as the guest of Mr. Strodthoff. A short time ago he took passage for Europe, accompanied by his wife and child, and during the voyage, which was a very stormy one, he contracted a cold and died within six hours after arriving in England. His parents having been telegraphed for arrived from Germany in time to be present at the funeral. Four crops in one year is the latest. On the farm of Noah Palmer, adjoining the town of Santa Ana, there have been gathered three crops within the last 12 months, and a fourth will soon be ready for use. The first crop was wheat, which was sown for grain, but grew so rank, that it was cut for hay. The second was corn, which was cribbed. The third crop was potatoes, which also matured and was dug up and stored. The fourth crop is corn and will furnish roasting-ears in about two weeks. There was less than an acre of land. The first two crops matured without irrigation. Nothwithstanding the heroic attempts made toward the improvement of the town in the way of new buildings and startling new industries, our friend, Louis Wartenburg, has actually removed those sacks of potatoes which for so long a time have obstructed the sidewalk in front of his establishment and been the terror of all midnight pedestrians and the Mrs. Hussman has been critically ill for some days past, suffering from a complication of disorders. Drs. Bickford and Johnston are in charge of the case. Yesterday the condition of the patient was reported to show some improvement. Mrs. Hussman is one of the Pioneers of Anaheim and her many friends will hope for her recovery. F. H. Burmester, one of the gentlemenly clerks employed by Harris & Falkenstein will shortly lead one of Los Angeles pretty girls to the altar. He has rented the Steckert cottage and will go to housekeeping there. Tommy Deitrich has cut down the old pepper trees in front of his residence on Claudma street. They were infected with black scale which is true of many of the trees aligning the city's thoroughfares. They should be trimmed back or chopped down for firewood. J. B.

Rosemead uses the fast break style of ball and have been in practice since the first of the month. Anaheim on the other hand, has been in practice only one week.

Mining Sports STAN JONES for the sport to remain; just the fact that it is something apart from the rest of the sports in the country. There is a large amount of thought put into a football game, more so than baseball or track or swimming. It could compare to the sport of chess, in the amount of brain power put forth, it is that complicated and thorough. Football, too, can be just as easy as running the 100 yard dash in ten minutes. It too is cut and dried as is baseball, but only in part. Certain men on the team block, others pull from the line of scrimmage and run down field in quest of setting some other opposing player on the ground. There is the matter of centerering the ball, just a routine maneuver, but ever so important in the playing of winning ball games as is holding of the ball for the try for the extra point after a scoring of touchdowns. In other words, football is complicated and cut and dried and is set apart from all other sports in the country. It is a sport that is enjoyed by all, men, women and children. It is colorful, exciting, dangerous, healthy and taxing to all alike, year after year, rain or shine. There just isn't anything to compare to the donning of the old coat, a jug of hot coffee tucked under the arm, and two tickets to Undefeated Santa Monica vs Anaheim Friday Night, 7:30 Possessing one of the best prep records in the Southland this year is Santa Monica high, the team Anaheim will tangle with Friday night at Fullerton in the second round of the 1951 CIF playoffs. Both teams drew a first round playoff bye and have had two weeks of rest for the titanic. Santa Monica is undefeated this year after rolling through eight games, pilling up 279 points while holding their opposition to a mere 30 and only 18 of those in league competition. The Bay league competition is not too tough year in and year out, but that doesn't make the Samohi team any weakling as they hold wins over some of the highly rated teams in the country such as Inglewood. Fremont of the LA city school system and Alhambra of the CIF southern section area. Got By Tough Inglewood Santa Monica blanked Alhambra 26-0 and rolled over Fremont, three time LA city champ by the score 28-6 and they then rose up and knocked over Inglewood 26-12. Inglewood is considered by many observers as the top team in the Southland despite their first league loss to Samohi. Inglewood holds high powered wins over Bell, 58-0; Loyola, 44-12; Long Beach Poly, 49-7 Torrance, 54-0; San Pedro, 79-14; Redondo, 37-6 and Beverly Hills, 40-0 except a few plays. All the sports writers covering the game had to go down along the field and even then, they couldn't see where the ball would land on punts, incomplete passes and kick-offs. Inglewood got off to a 12-0 lead, but Santa Monica bounced back to win decisively, 26-12 and practically insure their fifth Bay league title in the last five years. The other year, they tied for the crown with Leuzinger in 1949. They have now won 12 straight league games. Fell In Playoffs Last year they entered the CIF playoffs and won the opening game over South Pasadena 20-7, but fell to Loyola in the quarter-finals. Anaheim has never played a Santa Monica football team, but several Sunset League grid teams have, and haven't done too badly, although a league team hasn't met the Vikings since 1931. Fullerton holds power over Samohi, winning three games and losing two. One of the Fullerton wins was a rout, 60-0 back in 1918. Santa Ana has won three and lost three in games with Salta Monica while Orange has yet to beat the Vikings in three games. Here is the way Sunset League teams have fared against Santa Monica through the years: 1903—SM def Santa Monica 22-0 1903—SM def Santa Monica 22-0 Tangles with Baron at OC Athletic Club colorful figure and a powerful gripster has been in command of the heavyweight division for more than a year. He defeated Guzman's countryman, Enrique Torres for the title. Guzman would like nothing better than to force Leone into a title match and then grab the belt for the glory of Old Mexico. Varga takes on popular Bob Clay in the three fall semi; Black Panther tangles with powerful Firpo Zbyszko and Peters opposes Garibaldi. The Varga-Clay match could be as thrilling as the main event with fans pulling for the young Tulsa, Okla., wrangler over the once popular ex-king of the junior heavies. First match is billed for 8:30 o'clock. Ron Brandon Leads Team to Victory Ron Brandon of Anaheim scored three time LA city champ by the score 28-6 and they then rose up and knocked over Inglewood 26-12. Inglewood is considered by many observers as the top team in the Southland despite their first league loss to Samohi. Inglewood holds high powered wins over Bell, 58-0; Loyola, 44-12; Long Beach Poly, 49-7 Torrance, 54-0; San Pedro, 79-14; Redondo, 37-6 and Beverly Hills, 40-0. The night Santa Monica played Inglewood there was a dense fog making it virtually impossible for 11,000 fans to see anything, Ventura, Pomona Advance in CIF Grid Playoffs Taking up where his brother Tom left off in 1948, Marty Keough of Pomona high led the Citrus Belt champs to a close 27-21 CIF first round playoff victory over San Diego City league winner, La Jolla Saturday night at Mt. San Antonio stadium before 8000 fans. Tom Keough was all-CIF halfback in 1948 for the Red Devils and was a standout on the basketball and baseball teams. He is now playing for the University of California. Marty was an all-CIF halfback last year and was an all-CIF first team member of the basketball team and made the honor on the baseball team where he played at first base, outfield and pitcher. Saturday night he scored three touchdowns while throwing 16 passes and completing 13 for 109 yards. He got off some beautiful punts and played a great defensive game and truly was the shining light of the Pomona victory. It was the second time in five years that the Red Devils had reached the CIF football playoffs. As a result of their win they will now meet Cathedral of the Catholic league Friday night in the second round of the playoffs. Ventura high of the Ventura league jumped to a 21-7 half time lead over El Segundo of the Pioneer league and that proved enough Fullerton holds power over Samohi, winning three games and losing two. One of the Fullerton wins was a rout, 60-0 back in 1918. Santa Ana has won three and lost three in games with Sahara Monica while Orange has yet to beat the Vikings in three games.

Harness Racing In Final Week INGLEWOOD — The Western Harness Racing association which has presented the finest harness racing this fall ever seen in Southern California, goes into the final five days of its 1951 meeting at Hollywood Park this week with the $25,000-added Golden West Pace on Saturday providing a strong climax to an outstanding meeting. Saturday's pacing classic, at a mile and a quarter, will draw the fastest field in pacing history and the winner will lay strong claim to being the outstanding side-wheeler of the 1951 season. Fifteen pacers are still eligible for the Golden West stake. They are Brother Harmony, Dudley Hanover, Favonian Chief, Good Time, Highland Ellen, Irish Hal, Lana Direct, Maud Tass, Mighty Sun, Patchen Axworthy, Prince Adios, Prince Jay, Red O'Brien, Sampson Hanover and Tassel Hanover. Ron Brandon Leads Team to Victory Ron Brandon of Anaheim scored a singles win yesterday to give the Fullerton A League team a victory over the Whittier club 5 to 4 in the final round of the Mid-Cities Winter Tennis League schedule in a tournament played on the Whittier courts. Glen Lehmer of Anaheim teamed with Hilda Lange, former Anaheim player now living in Riverside, to gain another point by default when Della Lyford and Bill Tinsman of Whittler were unable to compete in the mixed doubles which had been scheduled. Brandon scored his win in a long three set match against Dick Haskell 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 while Lehmer was losing his singles round to Roy Copeland in a tough 7-5, 7-6 match. Brandon then teamed with Gerald Boege, newly elected president of the Fullerton Tennis Club, to lose a real marathon to Copeland and Haskell 5-7, 6-2, 9-7. Neither the A nor B League won enough matches to compete in the inter-district playoffs, although the Fullerton C League will have the honor of representing this section as winners of their division in the play-offs, which will probably see the Fullerton outfit pitted against the top Los Angeles district team. Tex Middleton of Anaheim has been a consistent winner all season on this Fullerton team. It was the second time in five years that the Red Devils had reached the CIF football playoffs. As a result of their win they will now meet Cathedral of the Catholic league Friday night in the second round of the playoffs. Ventura high of the Ventura league jumped to a 21-7 half time lead over El Segundo of the Pioneer league and that proved enough as they went on to win their CIF playoff contest, 34-13, played at Ventura high Saturday. Ventura will tangle with the defending CIF champions in this week's contest. Compton, while Anaheim goes against Santa Monica, Monrovia of the Pacific league will battle it out with the San Gabriel Valley league winner, Montebello.
