Anaheim, 1951-1952... The man to talk to if you want a comprehensive delineation of Anaheim's growth and progress during 1951 is Earnest W. Moeller, manager of the local Chamber of Commerce. Moeller has probably been closer to the industrial and commercial expansion of Anaheim than any other official of the town and he probably runs Building Inspector Homer Wallace a close second as far as residential expansion is concerned, all because his position forces him to live with the problems confronted by a growing city. Others, the officers and board members of the chamber, the City Council, the Planning Commission and the administrative departments of the city, have all had their fingers in the pie and deserve most of the credit, but parade marshalling team of 35 members and the routing of the grand parade through La Palma park, combined with the comfort and convenience of seeing the parade sitting down. A strengthened Retail division of the chamber has engineered a great improvement in retail sales promotion programs, according to Moeller. Outstanding was the Mother Goose Rhyme Christmas parade to give Santa Claus a fitting welcome in Anaheim. Also heard during the year were what may become the first rumbles of a changing physical appearance for the commercial district of the city. From without the city came disquieting news of new shopping districts, designed and built with convenience for the shopper as the first consideration. From within came critical remarks about the appearance of WASHINGTON—President man's relations with report the White House are at time low. The boys in the White press room, usually among stanchest friends, reserve frequent cracks the prince has been making about the generally. And they don't preclude the bawling out get when asking simple questions at the White House conferences. It didn't get into the but Mr. Truman, who rents from Key West tired and almost took two more digs reporters recently. First wanted to lecture them emphasizing that the list prisoners put out by the Communists was unverifiable thus probably inaccurate thing, incidentally, that porters already had stresses. He also wanted to bawl out for leaking the story Judge Tom Murphy of New had turned down the job of graft investigator. However president's press officers able Joe Short, convince Truman to forget about it Inside Hungary. Final decision to pay the sum of the four U.S. fliers in Gary was made only after a cant back-stage debate goes to the very root of American policy toward Russian sates.

Truman to forget about Inside Hungary Final decision to pay the sum of the four U.S. filers in Gary was made only after a cant back-stage debate goes to the very root of American policy toward Russian sate. Inside fact is that the D Department, not the State Department, made the decision to up the ransom money—for reasons: 1. The four Air Force were official representatives of the United States and sparsely of the Defense Department. 2. The Joint Chiefs of Shied away from any three retaliation for fear Hunt might call our bluff. 3. This latter point gets done the root problem of whether wise to provoke the Soviet come up time after time past, and the Joint Chiefs of always any away from any down. In general, so does the Department. 4. This was the issue involving the question of bombing churian territory beyond Yalu river. It has also been involved in much milder matters in the cold war. 5. Diplomatic Pouch 6. Foreign Minister Vishinsky Russia has scornfully rejected appeal by Egypt-for-Soviet It’s supposed to be a diplo secret, but Egypt’s Prime Ministers El Din met with Vishinsky last week to plead for Russia. Vishinsky coldly thum down with the remark Russia has arms for her first only and not for her enemies.

Most working populations of 3000 people support communities of 20,000 people requiring nearly 6000 dwellings, 300 retail businesses and 500 professional men and women to provide adequate services. If these statistics follow true to form in Anaheim, the city may look forward to doubling its size in the easily forsceable future. Not content with promoting additional industries for the area and then sitting back on his laurels, the chamber mobilized its industrial members for concerted action on the grand scale to bring the city's industries their share of defense work, thus assuring a high employment level for the local population and a steady in-flow of income for the area. Entitled the Anaheim Area Industrial Group, the industrial information cooperative is functioning efficiently in securing defense orders through a committee consisting of R. D. Taylor, chairman, Oscar Schultz, Bex Coons, Charles Schubert, Robert Bedford, Clyde Cromer and Adolf Schoepe. Coordinator and contact man for the group is Clemona M. Roark. Anaheim’s Annual Hallowe’en Festival and Pageant reached a new high in 1951 under the general chairmanship of Stan Whieldon, who was elected Chamber president for 1952. Overall outstanding innovations contributed mightily to the success of the annual jamboree—the Slick Chick Ball, which, according to Miller, gave inspiration and dignity to the Miss Slick Chick contest; and the er, Ray Barnes of Los Angeles creation, finally, of an efficient For 1952 Moeller predicted broken records in retail business volumes, in job opportunities, in total industrial payroll, in house construction—provided capital is available—and in the transportation of manufactured products and commodities used by our people—L.K.

WASHINGTON—President Truman's relations with reporters at the White House are at an all-time low. The boys in the White House press room, usually among his stanchest friends, resent the frequent cracks the president has been making about the press generally. And they don't appreciate the bawling out they get when asking simple questions at the White House news conferences. It didn't get into the papers, but Mr. Truman, who returned from Key West tired and crochety, almost took two more digs at the reporters recently. First, he wanted to lecture them for not emphasizing that the list of war prisoners put out by the Chinese communists was unverified and thus probably inaccurate—some-ing, incidentally, that all reporters already had stressed. He also wanted to bawl them out for leaking the story that Judge Tom Murphy of New York had turned down the job of chief staff investigator. However, the president's press officers, led by Mike Joe Short, convinced Mr. Truman to forget about it. Final decision to pay the ransom of the four U.S. fliers in Hungry was made only after significant back-stage debate which sees to the very root of American policy toward Russian satellites. Inside fact is that the Defense Department, not the State Department, made the decision to put the reason money for two Human to forget about it. Inside Hungary Final decision to pay the ransom of the four U.S. filers in Hungary was made only after significant back-stage debate which led to the very root of American policy toward Russian satellites. Inside fact is that the Defense Department, not the State Department, made the decision to put the ransom money—for two reasons: 1. The four Air Force men were official representatives of the United States and specifically of the Defense Department. 2. The Joint Chiefs of Staff ruled away from any threat of retaliation for fear Hungary might call our bluff. This latter point gets down to the root problem of whether it is wise to provoke the Soviet. It has gone up time after time in the past, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff says why away from any showdown. In general, so does the State Department. This was the issue involved in question of bombing Manitian territory beyond the Eu river. It has also been involved in much milder matters in the cold war.

Hai Boyle NEW YORK (AP)—So it's leap year, lady, and you want to get that guy? Well, if you want to be successful, quit trying to follow the usual advice to the lovelorn, and face the real facts life. The main fact is that the odds are against you—and the odds are getting worse. Ten years ago there were 100 men for every 100 women in the United States. But the last census showed there are only $6.6 men over 21 for every 100 women in the same age bracket. There just aren’t enough guys to go around. Most of the 100 women try to marry one of those 96 men. Why don’t you aim at the leftover—the .6 per cent fellow. Don’t forget that if you can’t get a whole man a male fraction is better than none. The professional advice-givers usually tell a girl to be sensible and “marry a dependable, healthy man with a steady job and a good sense of humor.” That is like telling you to marry the man in the moon. Think of all the men you know who are dependable, healthy, and have steady jobs and a good sense of humor. Don't they already wear some other gal's brand? As a young lady told me mournfully: "I know a lot of good men I'd like to marry—but their wives won't let me." So, if you really want to get wed this year, start culling over the junk heap of masculinity that is left. Remember, a good palpy can be built from the metal scrapes found in the average city dump. TV-RADIOLOGIC Modern Songs Declared Best Modern Salesmen By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—Songs will sell anything, according to The Sportsmen, from real estate to romance...at least that's what they told me the other night. The four boys—Bill Days, Marty Sperzel, Jay Meyer and Gurney Bell—ought to know, because they've been selling Jack Benny's cigarettes with songs for the past six years. "All you have to do," they advise the wolves, "is to stack a few records. Of course, they have to be the right ones, but since we each got a wife that way, we're willing to let the rest of the single men in on our musical recipe. "First you flatter the girl with 'Sweet and Lovely' and then play something like 'My Wife Has Gone and Left Me,' just to let her know you're amusing and footloose. Then more compliments, with 'Just The Way You Look Tonight' and 'When Did You Leave Heaven.'" "Let her know you're lonesome," they went on to say, "with 'Me' and My Shadow,' followed by 'Cocktails for Two,' 'I Get a Kick Out of You' and a violin solo of 'Intermezzo.'" "Then dance with her to a couple of sambas and mambos, sitting the next one out to the strains of 'Claire de Lune.' She may want to dance again, so have 'I Get Ideas' ready to play and, by that time you won't need lyrics any more, so dim the lights while the record player accompanies a clinch with 'Liebestraum' "The heck with the boys concluded, "became schedule of ours won't make sure 'Bolero' is set to over and over." The boys, who have so popular as the 'H-m-n dispensers with Jack Benny pear to know what they talking about, as they co-are doing a swell job of their own personalities, is most recent personal anances in the Southland clubs.

The communists have ordered a book of all libraries and books in East Germany. All democratic books will be destroyed. However, the communists are so well up for paper that they have had against a spectacular book burning. Instead, the purged books are reprocessed into new paper. The American legation resumes that Matias Rakosi, bullet-tied communist dictator of Italy, is getting increasingly busy about his future. Premier Rosso happens to be the man ordered the four Americans put on trial. He now fears he is being watched by secret agents. Maybe a purge is more for him as it was for Vice Admiral Slansky in Czechoslovakia. Men with ulcers are always good possibilities. But if you have an ulcer, too don't let him know about it until after you've pushed him to the altar. Tell him you're flat-footed or got indoor eczema—and he won't mind.

The main thing is—don't look for a man you want to marry because of his virtues. Marry a man for his defects, and then iron them out. It is much easier to correct a defect than to preserve a virtue. Two final warnings: Don't marry a man who wears bowties and a crew hairstreit. He'll never grow up. And don't marry an oboe player. You'll never hear the last of him.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Wonder why a hog can't win letter? He has his own perioik. Copyright, 1951, by Universal and TV Features Syndicate OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS are the bunk. This time last week I devoutly swore off rutabagas, and right now I would give a dollar for just one hunk of it. If I hadn't fore-sworn it, I wouldn't crave the stuff now. Whether I can get through the night without just a little taste of rutabaga remains to be seen. It's just about this time that 95 per cent of our New Years resolutions fly out the window, and it's just as well that they do. Psychiatrists tell us that it is practically impossible to set an arbitrary time at which to quit practicing a bad habit, and make the resolution stick. It is all a matter of the mind. Will power, some of them call it. If you are sincere in your resolve to discard the tobacco or liquor habit, you will stop NOW. To wait for a New Year's Eve is but to extend the period of indulgence... a reprieve from sentencing, so to speak. It, therefore, is this column's considered opinion that if you waited until midnight Monday to stop bad habits or to cultivate good ones, you will have slight success. You could have made the same resolutions at any time during the year. Voted most unlikely to succeed with his New Year's resolution is the modern fellow who swears off drink. Alcohol has become such an accepted thing that one takes its as a natural accompaniment to the social mechanism. The fellow who decides to shun it (and who makes a public an- on the same stuff liberally laced with whisky. In the end he succumbs to the social pressure and starts violating his innards with the evil brew. He is red-yed and sick the next morning. His breathing is quick and shallow. He is as cold and clammy as a fresh-landed mackerel and yet he sweats. He is pale, irritable, unreasonable and recalcitrant. At this point he might even vote a straight Democratic ticket. For such an unfortunate character I am able to prescribe a morning-after "pick-me-up" that will get him back on the straight and narrow. It is a drink called, simply: MORTICIAN'S DELIGHT 1 jigger rum 1 jigger dry gin 3 oz. creek water 1 egg 2 tsp. tabasco sauce 7 fingers rye whisky 1 clove 1 hall bat 13 butterflies Mix rum, gin, and creek water. Fold in egg, separated as nearly as possible. Add tabasco sauce and beat until stiff, which you unoubttedly were in the first place. clared smen DANSON "The heck with the etchings," the boys concluded, "because this schedule of ours won't miss. Just be sure 'Bolero' is set to repeat over and over." The boys, who have become so popular as the "H-m-m-m" dispensers with Jack Benny, appear to know what they are talking about, as they certainly are doing a swell job of selling their own personalities, in their most recent personal appearances in the Southland's night clubs.

HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago January, 1877 The fall of a theatre building at Sacramento the burning of a theatre in Albany, and the similar fate which befell a like place of amusement in Brooklyn, has had a very perceptible effect on attendance at theatres all over the Union. This feeling of apprehension, however, will soon wear away, until a fresh catastrophe renews the dread. We notice that proprietors of the San Francisco theatres are causing a rigid examination of their building to be made by experts, with a view to improvements as regards the strength of the structures and the facilities for the speedy egress of the audience in case of a panic. Among recent improvements we notice the change made in the fashionable barber shop of Frank Ey. Frank is bound to keep up with the times, regardless of expense. the following named sisters and brothers were only installed for the following year: Mrs. Eliza H.

A few weeks ago 616 boxes was considered a record consignment. Last Friday 1614 boxes were shipped by refrigerator express to eastern markets. The city council at last Thursday's meeting adopted an ordinance that will meet with the approval of a large majority of the population. It prohibits the distribution of free advertising matter, or to be exact places a license tax of $10 per day on the distributor. Residents will be relieved of the task of cleaning up the litter of handbills, circulars, etc., which lately have covered their lawns daily.
