AUHS Principal Defends Loyalty Of HS Teachers In rebuttal to an editorial appearing recently in a local newspaper on communism in schools, Paul H. Demaree, principal of AUHS, made several remarks on the subject while speaking to the high school P-TA last Tuesday. Mr. Demaree assured parents that their children were not being indoctrinated with communistic ideas. Furthermore, he affirmed teachers at AUHS are loyal Americans "through my personal knowledge." "Most of them I have known for some years, and the new teachers have been investigated thoroughly. "In my opinion, the public school teachers in America are the most loyal of any professional or business group. "If it is true that the idea of the world is communist, then such men as Woodrow Wilson and Wendell Willkie were traitors to their country." This statement is in answer to the Anaheim Bulletin's editorial stating "Our youth are being taught that the present tactics of assuming control are the salvation of the U.S. and the world. Through text books now being used in our school system, such policies as centralization of all government control; the government of one world; etc." is a sign of infiltration of Communistic propaganda. Then Mr. Demaree stated, "If it is wrong to try to break down racial barriers, then Thomas Jefferson must have been." Hal Boyle THE STRANGE CASE OF GENERAL WILLOUGHBY NEW YORK — Some army officers retire gracefully. Others retire like Maj. Gen. Charles A. Willoughby, former chief of intelligence for Gen. Douglas MacArthur. They carry their mental wounds back into civil life. General Willoughby has a grudge. He is mad at a fair segment of the American press for the coverage of the Korean war. Sheathing his sword and taking up his pen, he attacks six correspondents, including this writer, and three weekly news magazines in an article in the December issue of Cosmopolitan. His general charges against the newsmen are that we spread defeatism, "confused an unhappy public," and had "a marked tendency to smear General MacArthur." He even goes so far as to assert: "The nuance of defeat created an atmosphere of tension, uneasiness, and distrust between Tokyo and Washington. This is believed to have been the major cause of the MacArthur-Truman split." I do not know who believes this, unless it is General Willoughby himself. And I don't even really believe he does, except on rainy days. The general accuses the six war reporters of being "often inaccurate, biased, prejudiced, petulant. Their reporting furnished aid and comfort to the enemy." Perhaps Willoughby, now being free of military duties, ought to get a job as a cub reporter on a Counties Welcome Crackdown on Relief Chiselers SACRAMENTO (UP) — California's counties welcome with open arms the state's announced crackdown on relief chiselers, the County Supervisors association of California says. "We need all the help we can get from the state in keeping the chiselers off the welfare rolls," declared W. M. Sell, Jr., Madera county supervisor, and chairman of the association's relief committee, in a press release yesterday. Last Monday, Charles I. Schottland, state social welfare director, said at a press conference he has ordered his area deputies to check on all relief fraud complaints made by county officials and to find out what counties are doing to end chiseling. Schottland said under state law, the counties have the basic responsibility of keeping dishonesty out of relief to the needy aged, blind and children. However, Sell said there should be a distinction made between actual chiseling and "forced aid grants to those not actually in great need." These latter grants are directed by state law or departmental regulation, he said. As an example, he cited the case of a family of six where a stepfather earns $265 a month, but the four children are still eligible for almost $200 a month in needy child aid because of present policies. I do not know who believes this, unless it is General Willoughby himself. And I don't even really believe he does, except on rainy days. The general accuses the six war reporters of being "often inaccurate, biased, prejudiced, petulant. Their reporting furnished aid and comfort to the enemy." Perhaps Willoughby, now being free of military duties, ought to get a job as a cub reporter on a newspaper and find out what the function of a free press is in a democracy. It is this: to find out the truth—and then print it. The duty of a war reporter on the battlefield isn't to gloss over disaster or hide the mistakes of the top brass. It isn't his duty to burn incense before the altar of a two-star, self-inflating ego. It is his duty to find out what is happening in a war—and let the people back home know what is happening. That is what the soldiers themselves want him to do. His only restriction is this—never to write anything that will threaten the actual combat security of the troops. My own feeling is that General Willoughby has taken up a blunderbuss against the press to hide his own blunders. It was—in the opinion of a number of trained war correspondents on the scene—the reporting of General Willoughby himself that gave "aid and comfort to the enemy" and let down General MacArthur." As top intelligence officer it was his job to give MacArthur an estimate of the enemy's capability under any condition. In the case of the Chinese reds the Tokyo headquarters intelligence staff dismally failed to do this. The White House records of the Truman-MacArthur conference on Wake Island on Oct. 15, 1950, show that MacArthur was asked what the chances were of Chinese or Soviet interference in Korea. And MacArthur was quoted in reply: "Very little. We are no longer fearful of their intervention. We no longer stand hat in hand. "The Chinese have 300,000 men in Manchuria. Of these probably not more than 100,000 to 125,000 are distributed along the Y river. Only 50,000 to 60,000 could be gotten across the Y river. They have no air force Now that we have bases for our air force in Korea, if the China tried to get down to Pyongyang there would be the greatest slaughter." Presumably, Willoughby supplied this estimate to his chief That was his job. Forty days later the U.S. launched its "win-the-war" offensive. On that day—Nov. 24 Tokyo headquarters intelligent still put the total Chinese army only 100,000 men. It was an extremely costly man calculation. Tremendous numbers of waiting Chinese reds rose up, split the Allied drive and forced a long withdrawal. On Dec. 2—eight days after t Christmas Shopping Time Is Here...

Patt st. During the past two months there has been at least one complaint a night, usually more, coming into the police station from nearby residents of the area. Police officers were unable to reasonably cope with plant officials about the odorous subject in the past, so they switched to a new tack last night by sending the city administrator. Murdoch made the rounds of the district with Neville Co.'s general manager, Robert Ulrich and the plant superintendent, both of whom were extremely co-operative, Murdoch said. Neville Co., manufactures resin to be used in paints. Strong fume odors are particularly noticeable at night. Upon termination of the investigation, Ulrich promised the city administrator that plant operations would be shut down for the time being, until a "scrubber," a mechanism which will scrub the odors from the fire, Water Ruin Clothing Section Of Army Base CAMP STONEMAN, Calif. — Fire early today destroyed a clothing warehouse at Camp Stoneman Army base with a loss estimated by Pittsburg fire department officials at nearly $1,000,000. Camp Stoneman officers had not determined cause of the fire. They were making routine checks as to possible sabotage, but said there was no evidence at this time to indicate it was incendiary. The warehouse, one of the largest on the base, contained the officers' clothing sales store and all types of clothing for both officers and enlisted men were stored there. There may be some salvage possible at the west end of the huge structure, but all the rest was ruined by fire or water. fumes before they reach the air, is constructed. If this device proves unsuccessful, they will not operate at night until the problem of offensive odors is corrected.
