MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Business problems... The Anaheim scene is having the experience of seeing new buildings being completed for important manufacturing operations. (See article "Chamber Secretary Cites Success of Program to Bring Payrolls Here." Page 10.) But, as we understand it, the plans for putting some of these units into operation are being held up because of the red tape involved in straightening out orders for government work. The manufacturers don't know where they stand on the defense orders — consequently, they are unable to plan for the initiation of operations in their new plants. This condition is plaguing large and small businessmen everywhere alike. And, in this area, it is perplexing the small businessmen in particular. In the last war. Some of those who survived then, say they are having even tougher going now. "They're drowning. Any number won't be able to survive until the third quarter of 1852, when the government hopes to release additional quantities of aluminum and steel for civilian use." "We need to get together a basic organization to filter down contracts to small business firms faster," he said. "That will still salvage some." Major government agencies dispensing defense contracts now have units to deal with small business. But Barchoff feels they should be consolidated into one outfit. Then the small businessman could go to a single place instead of being pushed from pillar to pillar. WASHINGTON—Meeting the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington last month, General Emanuel Hawner indicated that the greatest danger of war was a postattack on Yugoslavia by Soviets. If this happens, U.S. defensives planners have figured the armies are almost certain to strike through the Ljubljana Gap in northern Yugoslavia then rush down the Dalmatian coast to Sovietized Albania. This not only would cut off all Allied supplies sent to the aid Yugoslavia, but would put Moscow within a few minutes bombing distance of Rome near the Vatican. Thus the entire Adriatic coast of Italy from Venice to Brindisi, would face a red war front, and the Italian population one-third communist, inevitable would be subject to sabotage, heaval and eventual revolution. These were some of the facts I had in mind in urging Marsh Tito to cut red tape and reel Archbishop Stepinac right away. For this now famous church had become not only a footnote of politics but a symbol of persecution, which was seriously hurting relations between our countries. Actually I knew, from having spent two years in Yugoslavia recting Quaker relief work after World War I, also from my visit there last winter, that there little religious discrimination. held up because of the red tape involved in straightening out orders for government work. The manufacturers don't know where they stand on the defense orders — consequently, they are unable to plan for the initiation of operations in their new plants. This condition is plaguing large and small businessmen everywhere alike. And, in this area, it is perplexing the small businessmen in particular. The plight of the small businessman has aroused much sympathy. But the small businessmen themselves would like less sympathy—and more orders. One of their spokesmen is Herbert Barchoff, 36-year-old vice-president of the Eastern Brass and Copper Co., a metals warehouse and processing firm. "The small businessman today is bewildered by restrictions on the use of basic metals—brass, copper, aluminum and steel," he said. "He can't get enough material to continue full manufacture of consumer goods. He can get material to work on defense contracts—but he isn't getting these defense contracts fast enough to stay in business." Barchoff said there are "thousands and thousands" of small firms faced with suspension of operations. "It is an odd thing to say," he remarked, "but they are being hurt more by a percentage war than in an all-out war. In an all-out war the government needs things in a hurry, and the contracts filter down quickly to their level." "There were a lot of casualties." IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago November 1876 Mrs. M. S. Weinburg has petitioned the county court for permission to resume the name of Margaret S. Metz. 50 Years Ago November 1901 The Southern District Women's Federated Clubs are holding their 25th annual convention in Fullerton this week. The meeting convened Tuesday in the Christian basic organization to filter down contracts to small business firms faster," he said. "That will still salvage some." Major government agencies dispensing defense contracts now have units to deal with small business. But Barchoff feels they should be consolidated into one outfit. "Then the small businessman could go to a single place instead of being pushed from pillar to post," he said. "The average small businessman is discouraged by red tape. He gives it up as hopeless. He can't afford to go to Washington and fight for a contract. He simply goes out of business." Another possible solution, Barchoff feels, is regional pools of small businessmen organized to handle major contracts. "But the main trouble up until now is there simply hasn't been enough government ordering. Pointing out that a great percentage of contracts had been concentrated in a relatively few big firms, he added: "There is no real clash between big business and small business. They need each other. "But many big concerns today—in order to take up the slack resulting from cuts in their own civilian production — are doing themselves the work they used to send out to small subcontractors. Government officials also have been slow to allocate contracts, hoping to get later technological benefits. "But the result is the same—the small businessman is going under. And our whole economy can be upset if we lose small business." 75 Years Ago November 1876 Mrs. M. S. Weinburg has petitioned the county court for permission to resume the name of Margaret S. Metz. Major Pauline Cushman, the farmers Union, spy during the late war, is now in San Gabriel, remodeling a house in fine style for a hotel. Mr. S. A. Hawkins and family, formerly of Anaheim, returned yesterday after an absence of several years. He intends to locate in Santa Ana. There were 10 vessels unloading freight at Wilmington yesterday. A Californian named Tomas was killed near Pan Mates on Thursday by the caving of a well which he was digging for Don Juan Forster. Yesterday, we received from Messrs. Taylor and McCoy, of Westminster, some delicious Musical grapes, which were grown on Mr. Dauakin's vineyard. We return thanks for the courtesy. Judge Alex Bailey, who has built a very nice house on his lot on the corner of Lemon and Sycamore streets, commenced moving yesterday. 50 Years Ago November 1901 The Southern District Women's Federated Clubs are holding their 25th annual convention in Fullerton this week. The meeting convened Tuesday in the Christian church with a large number of members and delegates present from all over Southern California. Among those present from Anaheim Ebell were Mrs. H. D. Newkirk, Mrs. E. Smith, Mrs. Sid McGraw, Mrs. C. F. Grim, Mrs. H. H. Benjamin, Mrs. Nellie E. Terry and Mrs. H. N. White. On Wednesday Mrs. DeNyse of Riverside was elected president for the ensuing year. A symposium of past presidents led by Mrs. Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana and Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Los Angeles was an interesting feature of the program. Tomorrow the ladies will be taken to San Juan Capistrano where they will visit the famous old mission and listen to a lecture by Rev. Father St. John O'Sullivan. Funeral services were held Friday morning in St. Thomas church, Los Angeles, for Teodosio G. Yorba, 77-year-old member of the original family of 20 brothers and sisters, all of whom were born and raised in Yorba. The pioneer died Wednesday morning in his home 1820 Reid street, after a long illness. Besides his widow, Francesca Yorba, Mr. Yorba leaves a son, Arthur G., and a daughter, Ernesting. Interment was made in Calvary Cemetery. What complicated Tito's political problem was that Serbia that part of the Yugoslav federation where he is least popular, where he has to gain strength rather than lose it. In Serbia Archbishop Stepinac has become a burning, bitter symbol. The Tito, while winning friends in the USA knew that he would have to make some enemies in home. The fact remains that despite these misunderstandings, Yugoslavia is more vital to the military defense of the Vatican than any other country in the world. For, should red armies take Adriatic coast of Yugoslavia, would be only a short time before Italy must come under Moscow wing. Acheson's Ear Plugs When Secretary of State Acherson first arrived in Paris, found his room over an entrance where the loudspeaker below was busy, day and night, calling chaotic feuds and their cars. Sleep was in possible, and Mrs. Acheson went out to buy some ear plugs. Returning half an hour later she found her husband asleep carefully, she laid two old fashioned, red, wax-and-wool ear plugs on the bedside table near the secretary of state. Later and much to her dismay she came back to find him trying to swallow them. He thought they were sleeping pills! Note—At Paris, Acheson had again been talking about re-signing. Physically tired from the long-winded diplomatic debate discouraged over the lack of U.S. WASHINGTON—Meeting with Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington last month, General Eisenhower indicated that the great danger of war was a possible attack on Yugoslavia by Soviet facilities next spring. If this happens, U.S. defense officers have figured the red lines are almost certain to take through the Ljublana up in northern Yugoslavia, rush down the Dalmatian coast to Sovietized Albania, and not only would cut off most needed supplies sent to the aid of Yugoslavia, but would put Moscow within a few minutes' habitation distance of Rome and Vatican. Thus the entire Adriatic sea of Italy from Venice to Budisi, would face a red waterway, and the Italian population, third communist, inevitably be subject to sabotage, upstart and eventual revolution. These were some of the factors in mind in urging Marshal Petroff to cut red tape and release Bishop Stepinac right away. This now famous churchman become not only a football politician but a symbol of persecution, which was seriously hurt relations between our two allies. Finally I knew, from having two years in Yugoslavia during Quaker relief work after World War I, also from my visit last winter, that there is religious discrimination in the country. OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER GENERAL DOUGLAS MacArthur, the old soldier, is just five-d-i-n-g away. Just like a four billion candlepower arc light. If the old war horse himself isn't stirring up the fires somewhere, one of the cup-bearers who followed his royal court into involuntary abdication can be depended upon to beat the tom-toms. MacArthur's two-starred disciple, Maj. Gen. Charles A. Willoughby, has created the latest disturbance by belching forth a smoke screen calculated to hide his own military ineptitude and at the same time to defame the American press for its reporting of the Korean mess. Willoughby, a swaggering strutter of the old army school (Prussian type) chose the Hearst publication "Cosmopolitan" as a vehicle for his diatribe. It was a natural for the Hearst press, whose object if not even groveling worship of MacArthur has long been considered in the newspaper world as one of the wierdest annals in American journalistic history. But even the editors of "Cosmopolitan" hesitated to print the stuff. They sat on it for two months before releasing it. Willoughby, as MacArthur's chief of military intelligence, has long been at odds with the war correspondents. During the war in the Pacific with Japan his word was law regarding what information should be given out to the press. A very good-friend of mine who was on the staff of zines were also slandered, including "Time" and "Newsweek." Newsmen singled out by the disgruntled general as "giving aid and comfort to the enemy" were Hal Boyle, Joseph Alsop, Hanson Baldwin, Homer Bigart, Drew Pearson and Christopher Rand. Two of these newsmen, Boyle and Bigart, are Associated Press correspondents. The AP has traditionally been noted for its reliability, integrity and impartiality in the gathering and dissemination of news, and it is not given to hiring incompetent or biased reporters. All of the newsmen attacked by Willoughby have answered his charges quite ably. Their defense is that they reported what they saw in Korea, as all good reporters should do, and that what they saw was not good. To a man, they bring out the damaging point that Willoughby fouled up on his estimate of enemy strength across the Yalu, and that he gave his lord and master erroneous information before the "win the war by Christmas" offensive was begun. Generals, however, can "do no Bishop Stepinac right away. This now famous churchman become not only a football politician but a symbol of persecution, which was seriously hurt relations between our two cities. Finally I knew, from having two years in Yugoslavia during Quaker relief work after World War I, also from my visit last winter, that there is religious discrimination in Slavia. I have served on the hospital board with Mosorthodox and Catholics, them work together and live near. Probably there is more since there than here. Col of Bitterness Othermore, the National Catholic Welfare council in co-operation with CARE picked a Catholic priest, John A. Zvetina of Chicago who speaks the language who made a thorough survey of Yugoslavia last September to whether CARE food packages being distributed fairly as in Catholic and non-Catholic communist and non-communist He returned with a highly reliable report. While this, it was only naït that the continued incarceration of Archbishop Stepinac rankle many Catholics in country. releasing him, however, faced a domestic problem. I regret to say, was com­uble perhaps to that of Sen-Russell of Georgia if he suddenly to reverse him and vote for the FEPC for their Negroes. For in Ortho-Serbia the religious massa­that took place under Hit­and for which Archbishop Stepinac was imprisoned, still a great bitterness. It isged that 700,000 Serbs were in these church massa­because they refused to act the Orthodox faith. That complicated Tito's politi­problem was that Serbia is part of the Yugoslav con­tion where he is least pop­here he has to gain strength than lose it. In Serbia, Bishop Stepinac has become nicer, bitter symbol. Thus while winning friends in USA knew that he would TV-RADIOLOGIC 'Racket Squad' Helps Many Escape 'Sucker List' Deals By TOM E.

I had pictures taken of my little girl. Some time after that, a model agency called to tell me that my child was one of the few pick­ed from thousands of pictures to be put in a catalogue to be shown to famous manufactur­ers and advertising agencies.

Beyond that, it is remindful of fact that a private agency like Goodwill Industries plays a far larger part in relief and benevolence, in comparison with public agencies, than most people know, and it does so without crushing the taxpayer. Not even nicking Helping him, in fact. The Goodwill Industries of this county during 1950 spent $3,500 more on behalf of the physically handicapped, either in their employment or their rehabilita- tion, than was spent by all of the states and the territories. The amount spent by Goodwill Industries called two-thirds of at the federal government it spent on behalf of this group. A delegate to the T.V.A. (Telecom union) convention.

It is easy to see that Goodwill Industries, with that kind of a record, is a valuable asset to the taxpayer, the man who pays the bill of the federal government, the 48 states, and the territories. Think what Goodwill Industries has saved him. Bringing the story closer home, Goodwill Industries of Orange county, which is strictly a local organization with no outside strings attached to it, has been saving Orange county taxpayers about $75,000 yearly, by providing self support to disabled war veterans and physically handicapped persons who otherwise would be on the public relief rolls. This year, the amount (wages paid the handicapped) will be greater, as the Goodwill program is steadily gaining public favor and recognition of its sensible basis. Goodwill Industries does this favor for the public without asking anything from the public except the things the public wants to get rid of—its household castoffs. Goodwill Industries of Orange county gets no share of Community Chest funds, or other public subsidy. It gives but it does not take, the exact reverse of the usual welfare agency. Moreover, there is no other salvage agency in the county that is non-profit and is helping the Orange county taxpayer as well as the people it employs. To our mind, Goodwill's program is the finest sort. It builds the morale and self respect of the handicapped employee, enabling him to earn his way and shoulder his duties as citizen and taxpayer. Goodwill employees in the county pay several thousand dollars annually in federal income taxes. That building of self respect and provision for self support is, of course, the most important achievement, the sole purpose of Goodwill Industries. The good break for the taxpayer is merely a by-product. But what a break! It looks like the taxpayer is on the Goodwill relief rolls. MORE ABOUT HILGENFELD MORTUARY Faithful. Courteous.
