INDICATIVE OF THE NATION'S STEPPED UP AIR ACTIVITY is this line-up of sleek U. S. Air Force Northrop Scorpion F-89 all-weather interceptors, being readied for flight at Northrop production flight facilities, Ontario International Airport, Ontario, Calif. In rapidly increasing numbers Scorpion's are rolling from Northrop's Hawthorne, Calif., production lines as air defense takes high priority in the thinking and activity of the United States. The Scorpion is particularly suited for air defense. It carries radar search gear which guides it through inky darkness or inclement weather. The twin-Jet Scorpion operates at altitudes in excess of 40,000 feet. It carries its "Sunday punch"—six 20mm cannons—in its nose, and has provisions for additional armament. The F-89 carries a radar observer in addition to the pilot. Conductor of Heartbalm Column, Dorothy Dix, Dies Sunday at 90 NEW ORLEANS (A) — Dorothy ried on her writing.

Miss Dix, in private life Mrs. Elizabeth Meriwether Gilmer, suffered a stroke about two and a half years ago. Death came yesterday. Reference books list her age as 81, but associates said she concealed her real age for years and that she was actually 90 when she died. She was a native of Montgomery county, Tennessee. Private funeral services are planned here tomorrow. During the half century that her syndicated column was published her humor and understanding drew the confidence of men and woman from all corners of the globe. "People tell me things," she once said "that you would think they wouldn't even tell to God." Behind the cheerful exterior was a career torn by misfortune: She married at 18. Her husband, George O. Gilmer, was incurably Local Men Train At San Diego NTC Undergoing recruit training at the U.S. Naval Training Center, San Diego, are two Anaheim men, William B. Denney, seaman recruit, U.S.N., son of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Denney of Rt. 1, 11252 E., Ball rd., and Ernest H. Owston, Jr., seaman apprentice, U.S.N., son of Mr. and drs. E. H. Owston of 512 N. Bush st. This initial training includes instruction in such fields as seamanship, pre-fighting, gunnery, signaling, and other courses designed to make the recruit well-versed in every phase of Navy life. Upon completion of their 11-week training period at the training center, graduates are assigned to duty with the Fleet or at Navy Hoodlums Break Church Window Anaheim police had a comparatively quiet week-end, compared to last week-end. Aside from two attempted burglaries and an attempted theft of a Christmas tree from a lot, the only item of interest was a window breaking. Some hoodlums, slow to grasp the Christmas spirit, threw a rock through one of the windows at the new Presbyterian church. On the human interest side of the blotter is the case of the street sweeper, Peter L. Kavanagh of 747 N. Olive st., Anaheim, who found a wallet containing $26.83 on the street. Mr. Kavanagh, ignoring the shortage of funds always accompanying Christmas, turned the wallet, money and papers intact, over to the police station where the owner claimed it.

Lynn Sheller, director. The broadcast was in observance of Bill of Rights week; all classroom activities on campus were suspended for the reading of the famous document, appended to the Constitution in 1791. Don Padgett, the editor of the “Weekly Torch,” school newspaper, read the Bill after introductory remarks by Dr. Sheller. Wanted Rights Guaranty “Our American statesman of colonial times thought so much of a written statement and guarantee of individual rights,” said Dr. Sheller, “that they ratified the Constitution only with the understanding that such a Bill of Rights would be included.” The week of Dec. 10-16 recognizes the 160th anniversary of the Bill of Rights. The Constitution was ratified in 1788 and the Bill of Rights, forming its first ten amendments, was adopted three years later. “The Bill of Rights implies a Bill of Responsibilities, for every citizen,” Dr. Sheller told his audience. “For every enumerated right there is an implied responsibility and duty to protect it and not to abuse it.” Freedom Illustrated Freedom of speech for exam- MORE ABOUT Pearson (Continued from Pa) and got to see the press seasonally. “I quite underscore new presider: wants friends in his cabinet told Truman, “But it me you should tell me self, Mr. President, not it to a secretary.” Embarrassed, Truman “May I ask,” continue “who my successor is be?” “Tom Clark!” replied Clark, The Politician.

"For every enumerated right there is an implied responsibility and duty to protect it and not to abuse it."

Pfc. Imants Rasins Given Award With the 7th Infantry Division in Korea—PFC Imants Rasins, 127 Philadelphia, Anaheim, California, recently was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge for excellent performance of duty in combat with the 7th Infantry Division. The badge, a symbol of the front line fighting man, distinguishes the combat soldier from rear area and service troops. It consists of a miniature replica of a Revolutionary War flintlock rifle mounted on a blue background and superimposed on a wreath.

He was employed by Fred Villa Upholstering Co., Anaheim, Calif. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julis Rasins, live in Ezere, Lieu. NEW YORK (UP)—New Yorkers faced a bagel famine today with only two out of the city's 34 bagel bakeries open in a labor dispute. Thousands of New Yorkers, who normally eat more than a million bagels (pronounced "baygle") on a week-end, went without the hard, dough-nut (with hole) shaped bread roll yesterday. Bagels, which originated in kosher eating places, have become a staple breakfast roll here. They are usually eaten with cream cheese or with lox, a smoked salmon. Some delicatessen stores yesterday reported loy sales had fallen off 30 to 50 per cent as a result of the bagel shortage. The AFL Bagel Bakery Workers accuse the Bagel Bakers Association of greater New York of locking them out. They also complain that employers are reluctant to pay into a welfare fund. Philip Levine, attorney for the association, said the producers had been forced to close because workers started a "slow-down" early last week. The union denied there was a slow-down. One result of the shortage was the substitution of doughnuts for bagels in the cream cheese sandwiches served free to the audience at Broadway show, "bagles and lox." SWANWICK, Eng. (UP) — Nine bell ringers walked out on strike yesterday because the Vicar of St. Andrew's said they should attend church services after pealing the chimes. Thus Tom Clark became general.

PHILIP MURRAY All Smiles at Meeting PITTSBURGH (UP) — President Philip Murray of the CIO United Steel Workers outlined his strategy to win a wage boost before the big union's executive board today but refused to discuss it pending ratification by the USW's wage policy committee. Murray emerged smiling but uncommunicative from a two-hour meeting of the executive board and his committee which has been negotiating with the U.S. Steel Corp. The silver-thatched chieftain of both the CIO and the USW told newsmen he will have nothing to say until after a session of the wage policy committee (2 p.m., EST), later in the day. All other board members declined comment in line with the USW policy of holding up discussion until ratification by the 170-man white policy group. NITTO PULE — A modern girl doesn't have to have mistletoe to stand under. MORE ABOUT Pearson (Continued from Page 4) and got to see the president personally. "I quite understand that a new presider wants his own friends in his cabinet," Biddle told Truman, "But it seems to me you should tell me so yourself, Mr. President, not detail it to a secretary." Embarrassed, Truman agreed. "May I ask," continued Biddle, "who my successor is going to be?" "Tom Clark," replied Truman. Clark, The Politician. Biddle couldn't conceal his amazement. A few days before he had decided to fire Clark as chief of the Criminal division because of his easygoing attitude toward criminal prosecution. Remonstrating with Truman, he described Clark as a "fixer," urged him not to take his word regarding Clark's lack of qualifications, but to consult Jim McGranery, then No. 2 man in the Justice department. McGranery went to see Truman, but is reported to have pulled his punches on Clark. Shortly thereafter, McGranery became a federal judge in Philadelphia. Thus Tom Clark became attorney general. He turned out not to be a "fixer"—as a matter of fact he brought more antitrust cases than Biddle—but he was easygoing, politically minded, and cooperated with the party bosses. In many respects his record was brilliant compared with the drift and decay which has followed. However, there is no question but that, under Clark, Justice a crusading beacon compared with the Treasury, the agency which collects the taxes. It must be remembered that only a small fraction of tax cases come to the Justice department for criminal or civil action, the great majority being handled by the Treasury. So it became the No. 1 wire-pulling target for the party bosses. Unpopular Henry Morgenthau Under unpopular, honest Henry Morgenthau, the Interral Revenue Bureau had been one of the most forthright agencies of government. Its commissioner was an old-fashioned gentleman from Kansas, Guy Helvering, who would no more have fixed a tax case than he would have jumped into the Missouri river. Even if Helvering had wanted to fix a case, "Henry the Morgue," as FDR called his Secretary of the Treasury, kept such an eagle eye on tax collections that it would have been difficult. Guy Helvering, however, wanted to become a judge. And when he returned to Kansas in 1843, as a judge, Bob Hannegan, Pendergast's collector of Internal Revenue for eastern Missouri, took his place. The downgrade regarding tax collections started then and there. One of Hannegan's greatest faults was in the men he picked for the key jobs of Internal Revenue collectors—the Finnegans and Delaneys. Most of them were the choice of the big-city bosses, and as such naturally were beholden to the men who appointed them. So when the eagle-eyed Mr. Morgenthau rowed with Truman, bowed out of the Treasury, and later was replaced by complacent, sleepy John Snyder, the tax evaders really began having a field day. Most of the time John Snyder has had no more idea of what went on in his Treasury department than Howard McGrath bad in his Justice department. In both places, the general policy was take it easy and take care of your friends. (Ed. Note—Another Pearson column on the current wave of corruption in government will follow soon). Thus Tom Clark became attorney general. He turned out not to be a "fixer"—as a matter of fact he brought more antitrust cases than Biddle—but he was easygoing, politically minded, and cooperated with the party bosses. In many respects his record was brilliant compared with the drift and decay which has followed. However, there is no question but that, under Clark, Justice department disintegration gradually set in. One by one, forthright men departed. There was nothing dishonest about the Justice department. It merely inaugurated an era of friendship. The watchword of the day was: "Take care of your friends." The amiable Justice department under Clark, however, was almost Ambition Fulfilled On Fireman's Pole OTTAWA (P)—Viscount Alexander, Canada's governor-general, has fulfilled a long-standing ambition—to slide down a fire station's brass pole. It happened over the week-end at a fire station where he opened an exhibition of Christmas toys made by Ottawa firemen. As he was leaving the station Viscount Alexander spotted the brass pole on the second floor, used by firemen to reach the main floor in a hurry. "I have always wanted to go down one of those things," he confided to Fire Chief Gray Burnett. The chief invited him to go ahead. For Your Shopping Convenience...
