THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BESLER LEONARD KREIDT STAILED JONES NEIL STALEDY G. E. STALEY RALPH WOULAND DON YOUNG Schools...communism... One more thought on the communist-schools thing before we turn it loose. Several people were good enough in the past few days to call us to ask if we had seen the story about the Los Angeles librarian who admitted he once was a communist. The Associated Press carried the story thus: "Lawrence Powell, chief librarian at the University of California at Los Angeles, admitted to a state senate committee today that he was a registered communist 17 years ago. 'But,' he added hastily, 'I never attended a meeting in my life.'" Bis. Of course, we haven't discussed Los Angeles schools or Los Anasheim Gazette. say the people running them want them to be anything but communist breeding grounds; we say that teachers are anything but fools, and that they pretty well keep subversive elements out of their groups; we say the schools always will be what we—parents and taxpayers—want them to be; it's up to us. And, we say be mighty careful when you accuse any school official or teacher of being a red. Be intelligent about your search for communism in the schools, don't go off half-cocked. But, we also say be vigilant. And, vigilant we are. Many eyes are watching for communist infiltration into our schools. To name a few: most taxpayers, most teachers, school boards, Ronald and Beni About Television By TOM HOLLYWOOD — Television? Suave Ronald Colman settles more comfortably in a heavy leather chair, relaxed while concentrating and spoke in his distinctive mellowed British accent. "Naturally Benita (Mrs. Colman) and I are interested in television," he said. "We have given the medium a great deal of thought already, and we intend even deeper study with the view of bringing 'The Halls of Ivy' to video." Colman has a reputation for being selective in all his undertakings. He medically credits his screen success to maintaining a change of pace, doing the unpredictable for his next part. Best example of this is that he remained off the screen from 1926—"The Late George Apley"—until 1949, when he won the Academy Award for "A Double Life." Why the absence? "I was not offered a suitable vehicle," he replied easily. The Colman foresight is evident, too, in his approach to television. "Frankly," he said, "I have been frightened by some dramatic vehicles on television. I do not intend to be critical, but the overall production was not the equal of Hollywood or Broadway standards. "To be a success, one must have a fresh approach in this medium, which demands a departure from the stage, films and..." In the days of long ago From the Filen of Anaheim Gazette By Mrs. Henry Kuchel 75 Years Ago November 1876 Married—In Los Angeles, Oct. 20, Dr. J. S. Gardiner to Mrs. S. A. Tarver. Ninety-two votes were cast at the primary election and the delegates elected to the Santa Ana Democratic convention were: H. Kroeger, Theodore Rimpau, G. F. Miller, W. M. Bailey and J. S. Gardiner. Not less than one hundred and fifty thousand mutton sheep will be driven to San Francisco from this county this winter. The ovation to Wigginton in Los Angeles on Thursday night was a grand affair.

Be intelligent about your search for communism in the schools, don't go off half-cocked. But, we also say be vigilant. And, vigilant we are. Many eyes are watching for communist infiltration into our schools. To name a few: most taxpayers, most teachers, school boards, the American Legion and other veterans groups, church officials, farm groups, service and fraternal groups—and just us plain moms and dads. That is a pretty good bunch of people to have on our side. We can afford to play the game straight—and not give constituents the solace of believing that we can stampede ourselves into a lather over someone's supposition that the "red line" is appearing in some undefinable spot in our schools. That's how we feel; we now turn this subject loose for awhile. 50 Years Ago November 1901 C. M. Lathrop and party of Centralia passed through town on Monday morning in four prairie schooners, bound for the new settlement of Imperial, San Diego county. Household utensils, chickens and stock were taken along. The party will locate permanently in Imperial, where they will engage in farming 1000 acres of land. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton has had plans drawn for one of the handsomest residences in Orange county. It will cost $10,000. He is at present engaged in making extensive improvements at his ranch. Mr. Chapman has this year netted as high as $3200 from an acre of oranges. The highest return from an acre of land yet reported. WASHINGTON — The politicians are so busy knocking the State Department these days that when the State Department does pull a diplomatic ten-srike, it goes unnoticed. The American disarmament proposal in Paris, for instance, scored a tremendous victory, helped knock down communist propaganda that we were the world's leading warmongers. Before this proposal was made, however, a hot, backstage debate took place in the State Department. Some advisers feared the Russians would pick up the disarmament plan and run away with it. But members of the Russian section argued the opposite, said the Russians were sure to react the other way, and play into our hands. Not less than one hundred and fifty thousand mutton sheep will be driven to San Francisco from this county this winter. The ovation to Wigginton in Los Angeles on Thursday night was a grand affair. The Democratic "Herald" says there were five thousand persons in the procession. The Republican "Star" says there were exactly five hundred and sixty, and a correspondent of the "Express" puts it at fifteen hundred. "You pay your money and you take your choice." Judge S. J. Davis came down from Los Angeles last night to re-visit the scenes of his former happy days. The new residence of Mr. T. A. Darling agent at the Anaheim depot is rapidly approaching completion. Mrs. Dr. Higgins arrived last night from San Francisco. We have printed a program for the concert to be given at Westminster tomorrow night for the benefit of the Presbyterian church building fund. The program is a long one and the selections show admirable taste. Mr. M. Calisher arrived home from Arizona last night. Col. Kewen und wife are visiting in San Francisco. Mr. W. M. Bailey has a fine colt dying with lockjaw. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton has had plans drawn for one of the handsomest residences in Orange county. It will cost $10,000. He is at present engaged in making extensive improvements at his ranch. Mr. Chapman has this year netted as high as $3200 from an acre of oranges. The highest return from an acre of land yet reported. Mrs. A. B. Richardson and two little daughters are here from Ontario, Canada, to reside permanently. Mrs. Richardson is a sister of Mrs. J. B. Rae. Dave Rogers was in town from the Peat lands on Monday. He reports the celery crop the best in years, and a large force engaged in gathering it. Not less than 2100 carloads will be harvested. Hugo Wetzel, one of the representative citizens of the Placentia country, was in town Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Benchley of Fullerton were in town on Monday. Herman Stern purchased a number of cavalry carbines from the government arsenal at Benecia. These guns have been discarded by the government, but are in good condition and experts pronounce them to be superior rifles. The Watsonville high school was destroyed by fire on Friday morning. Loss $25,000. Before this proposal was made, however, a hot, backstage debate took place in the State Department. Some advisers feared the Russians would pick up the disarmament plan and run away with it. But members of the Russian section argued the opposite, said the Russians were sure to react the other way, and play into our hands. That was exactly what Foreign Minister Vishinsky did. He shocked western Europe by stating that he had stayed up all night laughing at the west's disarmament proposal. Since then, U.S. intelligence reports that Vishinsky has received a scorching cable from the politburo reprimanding him. Since Vishinsky has only recently got out of Stalin's doghouse, the chances are that shortly after he gets home he will be fired. Merry Go Round There are now 6000 press agents on the government payroll—and look at the press the government is getting! . . . Senator Welker of Idaho is so sore at crime probes that he's ordered his staff not to speak to crime-buster Stinator Kefauver. Welker has also blocked various moves of the D.C. crime probe... It's hard to believe, but one British-Egyptian argument is over the official Suez rat-catcher. Sore at the British, this Egyptian gentleman has gone on strike. And since rats are a serious problem capable of carrying bubonic plague, the British are worried...

Excelsior 65-19 an then met tough Newport Harbor but edged past the tall Sallox 49-46 to reach the finals when they met a short. but good Tustin team. Anaheim prevailed 66-4 Cagers Travel to Tustin Tomorrow For 4 p.m. Game Tomorrow afternoon coach Bill Hunstock takes his varsity and Bee cagers on their first road trip of the year when they travel to Tustin high to meet the Tillers coached by Russ Sullivan in the Tillers' gym on highway 101. Both teams have played just one game thus far this season. Anaheim winning their opener over Bellflower. 47-34 while Tustin was losing to Orange yesterday at the Panther gym by the score 48-38. Prior to yesterday's game at Orange,the Tillers have had only five days of practice. At this time Anaheim has only two lettermen out for the team,Hart Hessel and Gene Gibson.The rest of the lettermen from last year's co-champion team with Newport Harbor are footballers. Tustin has only one returning letterman,Don Carter who stands 6 feet even and who is the tallest man on the squad of some 21 out for the Tustin cage team. Sullivan,a hard worker for his cage players,demands the same while in a game from the players themselves and as their basketball records will testify,the Tiller coach has had top cage Orange League games through the years. Eddie Stanky Slated for Navy Favored Over Army in Big Battle NEW YORK (P)—If this fall season taught anyone anything it is that the weather, women, horses and football results all are unpredictable. But here goes on the final round of football forecasts for 1951: (All games Saturday unless indicated.) Navy over Army: For the first time in eight years Navy enters the game as favorite. And almost for the first time since the series started 61 years ago there is little likelihood of an upset. Navy's defensive platoon to be the difference. Southern California over Notre Dame: Little difference between while in a game from the players themselves and as their basketball records will testify, the Tiller coach has had top cage Orange League games through the years. Eddie Stanky Slated for Cardinal Job NEW YORK (P)—Eddie Stanky virtually is certain of succeeding Marty Marion as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. No definite agreement has been reached as yet, but Presidents Horace Stoneham of the New York Giants and Fred M. Saigh of the Cardinals will meet within the next few days with the hope of closing the deal, brewing since the World Series. The transaction may not be announced until the minor league convention in Columbus next week. The Cards will be asked to turn over pitcher Max Lanier and outfielder Chuck Diering for Stanky, who will then sign as a player-manager with the Redbirds for a two-year contract at $35,000 per season. Although Saigh has been quoted as saying that he had three men in mind for the job, he has not seriously considered anybody other than Stanky. It was only a question whether Stoneham was willing to part with the Giants' scrappy second baseman, admittedly the inspirational spark who drove the team to the national league flag last season.

Anaheim prevailed 36-4 for the first place trophy. Despondent Grid Player Kills Self on Campus PHILADELPHIA (P)—Nick Liotta, 22-year-old Villanova football co-captain, was found dead in a dormitory basement yesterday. Police said death was by hanging. The coroner's office ascribed it to natural causes. Radnor township police said they found Liotta's body under a strip of piping, a coil of telephone wire twisted around his neck. The wire, police said in their official report, had been looped over a pipe. Joseph Tercha, Delaware county coroner, said Dr. John Turner of Bryn Mawr informed him that Liotta died of natural causes, apparently of a heart attack. He added that no autopsy is planned. The college, operated by the Roman Catholic order of St. Augustine, announced only that Liotta was dead and that the cause of death was unknown. Beyond that most officials held to steadfast silence. Teamsmates of the popular Liotta, who was a candidate for Ali-American honors as a guard were reported to be under strict orders from college authorities to say nothing. Reporters seeking to talk to the players were turned away from the dormitories. One college official said Liotta had been despondent since Villanova lost 20-18 to Boston college before his family and home town fans at Boston two weeks ago. The official indicated Liotta's low spirits were more noticeable after Villanova took a 45-7 lacing at TV-RADIO ROW... USC Not Scared Of Notre Dame This Season LOS ANGELES (AP)—The Notre Dame football squad today moves onto the scene of its annual battle with Southern California, but things are a little different this time. Generally, in recent years, Trojan supporters are ready to take to the storm shelters at the first sound of the Irish's arrival, but not in 1951. No one is overconfident regarding a USC triumph, mind you. Far from that, and certainly not after the tromping the Trojans took from another bitter rival, UCLA, just last Saturday. But the Notre Dame of this year is not the Notre Dame of recent seasons. And while an Irish victory would not be a major surprise, a slaughter is not anticipated. Last year what was regarded as a better team from South Bend came to town. And USC, which had just absorbed a 39-0 lacing from their unneighborly friends across town at UCLA, upset calculations with a neat 9-7 triumph. But USC backers had feared the worst. And in 1948 a truly fine Notre Dame outfit was lucky to gain a 34-14 tie with surprising Trojans, who astonished everyone by their stand. For Health: Est California Fruit One college official said Liotta had been despondent since Villanova lost 20-18 to Boston college before his family and home town fans at Boston two weeks ago. The official indicated Liotta's low spirits were more noticeable after Villanova took a 45-7 lacing at the hands of Louisiana State last week. Although the college's official statement on the 225-pound player's death said he had been ill for the past two days, it was learned he practiced for the scheduled Tulsa game on Tuesday. The game, booked for the Oklahoma city Saturday, has been cancelled. It would have been the wind-up of a nine-game schedule in which Villanova won five and lost three. The hard working guard played on both offense and defense in this age of platoon football when most players specialize in either offense or defense. His coach, Art Ralmo, rated him as "the finest collegiate lineman I've ever seen." LONG BEACH (AP)—Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) says he has "given permission" for the placing of his name on the California primary election ballot as a candidate for president.

Game time is 7:30 and shortly after the battle will get into full motion and moving inf and at every play will the linebackers for both teams, Santa Monica and Anaheim. The Vikings, representing the Bay League, are undefeated this year after eight games while Anaheim sports a fair 5-3 win-loss record. It is the second straight year Santa Monica has reached the playoffs while the locals haven't been there since 1941, an awfully long time ago. Doing the rough work for the Colomists behind the linemen will be Johnny Steinborn, Jim Roberts, Gene Geselle and ready to spell either of them will be Mike Patin. All are top notch at their jobs as their defensive record will testify for them. They led the Sunset League in total defense and were as a whole hard to fake or move out of their little trenches just inches back of the low slung linemen. For Santa Monica one of the greatest players ever to play for the Vikings is A. D. Williams all-CIF second team offensive end of last year. The big moose, stands 6" 3/4" and weighs 180 pounds and is considered one of the fastest men on the team. He is agile and graceful, but when he goes back to back up the line, he turns into a madman, making tackles all over the field. He acts as though he doesn't trust the other player on the team to make any tackles as he is in on just about every play. His hands are like large hams and when he extends his arms, opponents have been known to drop the ball and just stand and look at the long distance from one hand to the other. Not hardly any one even in Santa Monica really knows what the AD. stands for. Everyone just calls the big end AD., but after seeing the big left end perform in action opponents had called him "Absolutely Dangerous" Williams. He has caught six touchdown passes, all tossed by T-quarterback Sandy Lederman and has kicked two extra points for a season point total of 38. His scoring plays have come on yardage gains of six yards in the Fremont game and another from a distance of 12 yards. The final score in the game was Santa Monica 28, Fremont 6. In the Inglewood game, Williams took an eleven yard toss to score and that helped the Vikings to their 26-10 victory. Tag Matches At OCAC Ring Monday Nite Billy Varga, the wrestling "hero" turned "villain" may be in for more than his share of rough sledding Monday night at the Orange County Athletic club. Varga teams up with Krippler Karl Davis against the Becker brothers, George and Bobby of Brooklyn, N.Y. And according to reports the Beckers will go after Varga hook, line and sinker. It is a three-quarters rematch. Varga recently coupled with Lord James Blears pulled some rather shady stuff on the Beckers and they are out to settle with him, it is reported. "We'll get the Englishman later," said George. Two of the fastest and most scientific matsters now parading on the Pacific Coast, Carlos Guzman and Dave Levin, meet in one of the two other three fall features. The first will find the Black Panther meeting Hardbolled Hardy. The Panther recently held Baron Leone to a split-fall draw and has been issuing challenges for a rematch ever since. He wants to meet the Baron in a two-hour title match. Boston Sox in Winter Trades BOSTON (P)—By marking off an estimated $100,000 cash outlay, the Boston Rod Sox today were rid of Less Moss, their most disappointing catching investment, after gaining an eighth outfielder of Major league calibre.

Moss, obtained from the St. Louis Browns last June for that huge sum plus Matt Batts, another backstop, was sent back to his old club along with Tom Wright, a rookie outfielder. In return the Red Sox received Gus Niarhos, the slightly built catcher, and Ken Wood, an exceptionally strong-armed outfielder.
