MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classfilee Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Oil... If you are out motoring late this afternoon—and you haven't already done so—we suggest you drive by Anaheim Industrial No. I, the oil well being drilled by the Steele Petroleum Co. Just north of H. La Palma Ave. on Pat St. Nothing has caused quite so much excitement around these parts in a long while. And, nothing could influence the immediate future of Anaheim so much as a good producing oil field. So far the oil exploration program has been handled very carefully by the city officials—and everything has gone along nicely. It took a little time for the city and the oil company to get all the details ironed out before the equipment was moved in to punch the first well — but, it proved one thing: both the city underlies Anaheim, but if oil is found, would move in and try to clean up by breaking Anaheim's oil ordinance. They would do that by defying Anaheim public opinion and by trying to defeat the letter and spirit of Anaheim's oil ordinance. Consequently, we reiterate a previous belief of ours: Anaheim property owners should sign leases only with petroleum companies which have been screened and approved by the City Council. If enough property owners sign leases with oil people pledged to respect the wishes of the folks of Anaheim, then it becomes increasingly difficult for speculators to move in. We haven't cared what companies just so long as responsible officials protected the public interest by scrutinizing all the propositions offered. Senators who listen mony in the Ohio shocked at the way gard of the law both campaign manager, and by Cyrus Eaton a devious method to $35,000 to John L. L. mittee supporting J. Ferguson, Democrat. Both Tate and Ea businessmen, with players to give them so investigating Se they have no excuse. Ben Tate of Cincinnati only one of Taft's campaigners, but is a top Standard Brands, also of United Collieries in the Diamond Elkhorn Raymond City Coal Portion Co., the S Coal Co., and various cerns. Yet the Senate found Tate not only not keep a record of cont his private bank box account for $100,000 or 000 that passed through during the campaign, under oath, Tate admits campaign checks and unused cash in a sait box at the Fifth Trust Company of C So far the oil exploration program has been handled very carefully by the city officials—and everything has gone along nicely. It took a little time for the city and the oil company to get all the details ironed out before the equipment was moved in to punch the first well — but, it proved one thing: both the city and the Steele Petroleum Co. want to move into the venture with the citizenry fully informed on the deal. And, both the city and the petroleum company are anxious that the public interest be respected at all times. Consequently, things have come off pretty much that way. It we all contine to take an interest in city oil there is no reason why the city can't have smooth sailing throughout the life of the petroleum project. People who have been through oil booms before tell us that the individuals most likely to upset the apple cart are speculators who might ride into town on the coat-tails of an oil discovery. They are the guys who wouldn't risk a penny to determine if oil and approved by the City Council. If enough property owners sign leases with oil people plagued to respect the wishes of the folks of Anaheim, then it becomes increasingly difficult for speculators to move in. We haven't cared what companies just so long as responsible officials protected the public interest by scrutinizing all the propositions offered. To date, only the Steele Petroleum Co. has sought sub-surface lenses on a broad scale. That company has ironed out the details of oil exploration with the City Council. So, it is logical to assume that the City Council has thoroughly checked their drilling plan and their sub-surface leasing program and have come up with an okay for both. It is no secret that a great volume of Anaheim property owners signed sub-surface leases with Steele. For the residents sake, and because Steele was scrappy enough to test public opinion where others had fainn heart, we hope the whole thing pays off for everybody concerned and that Anaheim proves that the oil industry can live happily with the people. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago January, 1877 A meeting was held yesterday to nominate candidates for town offices. Mr. A. Heiman kindly furnishes us with the following report; Judge Alex Bailey was chosen as chairman, and A. Heiman secretary. The following names were presented to the meeting: John Fischer, A. Langenberger Richard Heiman, Tim Boega, John P. Zeyni, Theodore Reiser, Dr. Yocum, H. Werder, L. W. Kirby and N. H. Mitchell. A ballot being had, Messrs.

Lieutenant Johnston, whom he succeeds, was some time ago elected battalion adjutant. A huge bowl of tobacco adorned the entire table and clay pipes were passed around. Everybody amokled the health of the new officer. The evening was one of hearty enjoyment. Coffee and sandwiches were passed around and at a late hour the party dispersed. Yet the Senate found Tate not only to keep a record of contact his private bank box account for $100,000 or 000 that passed through during the campaign under oath. Tate admits campaign checks and unused cash in a safe box at the Fifth Trust Company of City Personal Strongbox. "And that box was the name of whom?" asked Hennings, Missouri De. "Ben E. Tate," replied Tate. "And what did you Mr. Tate?" pressed Hennings. "I keep stocks," shred. "I don't mean your safe deposit box," Hennings. "Was there campaign? "I had two boxes," ed. "Well, was there one for the campaign?" prinnings. "I mean these boxes me. I used my own campaign," Tate came e. "You did keep the funds in your own su boxes?" asked the Seri Missouri incredulously. "That is right," admitted Hennings asked. "Yes," nodded Tate raiser. "Why, Mr. Tate?" Hennings. "So I could take the and buy drafts," was explanation. "What was the money kept in the box?" pernings. "What did it money that you were buy drafts?" "That is right," agreed Unreported Funds. "None of that was ported either?" inquired nings. "That was reported..." stammered Tate checked himself and Judge Alex Bailey was chosen as chairman and A. Heiman secretary. The following names were presented to the meeting: John Fischer, A. Langenberger Richard Helman, Tim Boege, John P. Zeyn, Theodore Reiser, Dr. Yocum, H. Werder, L. W. Kirby and N. H. Mitchell. A ballot being had, Messrs. Fischer, Helman, Langenberger, Zeyn and Yocum were declared to be the nominees of the meeting. Theodore Rimpau was unanimously nominated for treasurer. A. W. Steinhart, A. S. Austin and George Miles were candidates for the assessorship and Austin got a majority of the ballots. The office of marshal was aspired to by E. A. Pullen, R. Bohn and I. Wartenburg, and the latter secured the nomination. We were informed last evening that a mass meeting will be called to nominate a "peoples opposition ticket." Due notice will be given in our advertising columns as to time and place of meeting. The first shipment of wine direct to Europe was made yesterday. Bishop Kip reports 10 candidates confirmed at Los Angeles, two at San Gabriel and seven at Anaheim — nineteen in all.

Lieutenant Johnston, whom he succeeds, was some time ago elected battalion adjutant. A huge bowl of tobacco adorned the entire table and clay pipes were passed around. Everybody smoked the health of the new officer. The evening was one of hearty enjoyment. Coffee and sandwiches were passed around and at a late hour the party dispersed. J. S. Howard has fitted up a photograph gallery in the Metz block on Los Angeles street, and is now ready to take your picture. Mr. Howard is an experienced photographer and his pictures are a thing of beauty and a joy forever. All you have to do is to take your seat, wear an elastic smile, and look pleasant, and he will do the rest. Go and see him if you need a photograph for Christmas, he's the man you have been looking for. The local lodge of Fraternal Brotherhood, has elected the following officers for the ensuing year. F. G.

Deakins, O.D.K.; J. H. Clabaugh, Mrs. George Boyd, finance committee; H. Deakins, L. Hamn, trustees; Mrs. E. H. Adams, musician; Mrs. Eva Boyd, representative to the Grand Lodge. It was decided to give a ball Christmas night. L. F. Lewis was down from Los Angeles on Monday, on a short business mission. What is the nature understanding?" Henning quired sweetly. "It was just I know people, and I just..." Tate. "You just assumed they had reported?" Hennings. "That is right. Having ence in them, I assumed mitted Tate." "How much cash for the distribution to the committees went through hands and was not repaid you, but you hope reports committees?" asked Hennings. "I figure a little over $100." WASHINGTON MORRIS 60 the Senate Elections committee are seriously considering drastic action regarding possible violations of the Corrupt Practices act by both Democrats and Republicans in the 1950 Ohio campaign which re-elected Senator Taft. Senators who listened to testimony in the Ohio probe were shocked at the wanton disregard of the law both by Taft's campaign manager, Ben Tate, and by Cyrus Eaton, who used a devious method to contribute $35,000 to John L. Lewis's committee supporting Jumpin' Joe Ferguson, Democrat. Both Tate and Eaton are big businessmen, with plenty of lawyers to give them legal advice so investigating Senators feel they have no excuse. Ben Tate of Cincinnati is not only one of Taft's campaign managers, but is a top official of Standard Brands, also president of United Collieries Inc., head of the Diamond Elkhorn Coal Co., Raymond City Coal and Transportation Co., the Snap Creek Coal Co., and various other concerns. Yet the Senate committee found Tate not only neglected to keep a record of contributions in his private bank box, but couldn't account for $100,000 of the $300,000 that passed through his hands during the campaign. Testifying under oath, Tate admitted cashing campaign checks and keeping the unused cash in a safety deposit box at the Fifth Third Union Trust Company of Cincinnati. Yet the Senate committee found Tate not only neglected to keep a record of contributions in his private bank box, but couldn't account for $100,000 of the $300,-000 that passed through his hands during the campaign. Testifying under oath, Tate admitted cashing campaign checks and keeping the unused cash in a safety deposit box at the Fifth Third Union Trust Company of Cincinnati. Personal Strongbox "And that box was taken in the name of whom?" asked Sen. Tom Hennings, Missouri Democrat. "Ben E. Tate," replied Ben E. Tate. "And what did you keep in it, Mr. Tate?" pressed Hennings. "I keep stocks," shrugged Tate. "I don't mean your individual safe deposit box," interrupted Hennings. "Was there one for the campaign? "I had two boxes," Tate fidgeted. "Well, was there one box used for the campaign?" prodded Hennings. "I mean these boxes belong to me. I used my own box for the campaign," Tate came out with it. "You did keep the campaign funds in your own safe deposit boxes?" asked the Senator from Missouri incredulously. "That is right," admitted Tate. "And cash money, was it?" Hennings asked. "Yes," nodded Taft's money raiser. "Why, Mr. Tate?" demanded Hennings. "So I could take the money out and buy drafts," was Tate's only explanation. "What was the money that you kept in the box?" persisted Hennings. "What did it represent, money that you were holding to buy drafts?" "That is right," agreed Tate. Unreported Funds. "None of that was ever reported either?" inquired Hennings. "The was reported when we..." stammered Tate. Then he checked himself and shrugged: Boyle NEW YORK (A)—It is time to look into the old crystal ball for an advance view of 1952. What lies ahead? Well, button down the storm cellar, boys and girls—it's going to be one the dizziest year of the century. It is the kind of year that Rip Van Winkle would hardly choose to wake up in. You might look for these things: The hottest national political campaign since the Bull Moose campaign of 1912. More mud will be deposited around the landscape than was left by the midwest floods of 1951. A man will patent a new gigantic brain able to out-think Congress. It will be given the task of figuring a way to collect more taxes, however, and it will explode—and Congress will meet as usual. Television will come up with a bright new star—a lady able to wrestle an alligator and a boa constrictor at one and the same time, while she sings a cigarette commercial. The biggest food sensation of the year: a non-crunchy breakfast cereal. The children can see and taste it, but the parents don't have to listen to it. A scandal will break out in world chess circles. Bull fighting will then be revived in Texas to give the nation an honest amateur sport. A spiritualist will at last succeed in making contact with the ghost of Houdini. His message: "let me alone, I know when I'm well off." CALIFORNIA GROWERS will ballot on whether want to keep volume prorate saddled, in its present industry this month. You can be assured of one thing: no change. That is one thing no one need lose any slack McLain, who runs the Exchange, the OAC, lock, stock and who wanted orange shipments (of his navels) held the week before Christmas (not enough for California does not want ANY change and, brother, there will be any valencia grower who would write for the news set up, should visit a brain doctor and have him examined. Don't get us wrong here, we think the crop service has rendered has been magnificent and the industry cannot do without. What we kick about the committee itself operates. They sit there week after week, with the same selfish interests sorris selves in the same way, again and again as the politic to say. Now you can't blame McLain for wanting top masters northern navels. You can't blame him for pulling every trade he can think of to achieve that end. And you can Paul and Fran for going along. They are employed by them or didn't you know? The navel interests in the Exchange them right out of their warm nest. Is that right, so far it is. SO THE SAME old pattern prevails, year after year change is suggested the "shots" smile to your face and knife is good and sharp to stab you in the back. The petition to vacate the prorate one of the "tops" "Minkville" and this election (please don't laugh), is the Box Score: McLain an easy winner. Old man Valencio with 40 per cent of him "eliminated." But, except for keeping the Kremlin "shots" in place, gallions authority and income tax brackets, is all tha and fuedin' kept going? Why not truly consider this hauling between our two varieties from an industry sea Not with tongue in cheek as is done now. Not from point of the Exchange "teaching the competition; less only destroys the economic value of fruit. But from operative spirit that takes into full consideration the future, and the need of the California orange grower. No one need try to stand up and defend the $1 a day far less that the Exchange houses are trying to tell What did it represent, money that you were holding to buy drafts? "That is right," agreed Tate. Unreported Funds "None of that was ever reported either?" inquired Hennings. "That was reported when we ... stammered Tate. Then he checked himself and shrugged: 'No, I am sorry. I don't know whether it was ever reported.' 'And you have no record of how much was kept in the boxes?' hammered the Missouri Senator. "No," confessed Tate. "Now, such amounts that you collected in your capacity as treasurer and forwarded to other committees, did you report?" asked Hennings. "No, the record would be in those committees ... explained Tate." "I understand from them that these reports have been made, but I have not actually checked them." Destroyed Files "What is the nature of that understanding?" Hennings inquired sweetly. "It was just I know these people, and I just ..." fumbled Tate. "You just assumed then that they had reported?" suggested Hennings. "That is right. Having confidence in them, I assumed it," admitted Tate. "How much cash for the purpose of distribution to the several committees went through your hands and was not reported by you, but you hope reported by the committees?" asked Hennings. "I figure a little over $100,000." A scandal will break out in world chess circles. Bull fighting will then be revived in Texas to give the nation an honest amateur sport. A spiritualist will at last succeed in making contact with the ghost of Houdini. His message: "Let me alone. I know when I'm well off." Dr. Kinsey will finally publish his gigantic survey of the sex life of American women, it will turn out to be a four-page pamphlet. He will then undertake his masterpiece—a study of Freudian variations in the rabbit. Taxes will go sideways, as they no longer can go up. Tate reported. "Will you tell us' in summation how much money came into your hands for use in the candidacy of Senator Taft for re-election in 1950?" broke in Chairman Guy Gillette, Iowa Democrat. "Approximately $300,000," estimated Tate. "When you made your report why did you not report the sums that you had received up to approximately $300,000?" demanded Gillette. "Because the subsidiary committees of ours, I gave the money to them, and they reported it," alibied Tate. "You hope they reported it," corrected Gillette. Note—The same Ben Tate is again collecting huge sums for Senator's presidential campaign. It's a fair question to ask: "How much is going into his private safe deposit box, and what book-keeping methods are used to keep track of the money?" But, except for keeping the Kremlin "shots" in place, all its authority and income tax brackets, is all thieves and fuedin' kept going? Why not truly consider this problem between our two varieties from an industry sway? Not with tongue in cheek as is done now. Not from the point of the Exchange "teaching the competition"; only destroys the economic value of fruit. But from the operative spirit that takes into full consideration the future, and the need of the California orange grower. No one need try to stand up and defend the $1 a day far less, that the Exchange houses are trying to tell them received, because that less than a dollar today is not good as the 50 cents the growers were paid in the late days that same found of wisdom, the California Fruit Grower. WE HAVE A very simple solution to the whole problem if the California citrus problem is getting more money too. We believe the whole problem is in getting the grower nomic value of his fruit. If this is not done then of what whole Exchange set-up? Frankly we are only interested in—the Exchange, to our way of thinking, should be only a servant, not his master as the "hired help" would like to offer this idea, knowing before we do that the "hired laugh at it, but also knowing that it would increase the number of EVERY California orange grower. Keep the proratements out of the state that are in the class of "rollers" or "home" or price set on them. Set a realistic floor price, minimum price per pound return to the grower, on the let ANYONE buy any quantity at that price with no get strings attached. It can be done. It can be done simply. We mean California grower a little of that dough. Out here you always run into the same barricade change wants no change. No change in the growers pocket either. It seems California grower would rather have the sickening generality how many drops of orange juice is now going to market and what a great idea it was to give silverware back in its death. When growers get a load of that baloney they seek to go home and to bed. In Florida they talk about the money. The Chinese believe in the power of a little forest root—"Jintisan"-to prolong life and rebuild flesh and spirit. Until recently about a million dollars worth of it was exported from the United States to China annually. The average American about 148 pounds of meat a year. The average English tioned to only about 10 of meat a year. TV-RADIOLOGIC New Plans to Improve Joe Graydon Show Revealed By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Because of a letter received from Mrs. Edna Speckman in Long Beach, asking about the Joe Graydon ("Woman Are Wonderful") KLAC-TV show, I investigated the matter in her behalf, and came up with some interesting facts. The letter which lead in part said: "I saw you the other day when you were a guest on Joe Graydon's show. I still call it Joe's show although lately it seems to be everyone else's show. I don't know who is responsible for the recent changes, but I for one don't like it. First Doris Carr was taken off, then Roe Hillman and the boys (I'll never figure that one), now finally KLAC has cut the first hour of the program. That did it. In place of that first hour they are trying to get us to watch a wheezy, ancient cowboy movie. At 9 a.m., too! "The reason for this letter, Mr. Danson, is this: Could you shed some light on why KLAC is not supporting Joe? Why aren't they behind him at least 75 percent? Joe Graydon has as much talent and personality as anyone on daytime TV, and could compete successfully with a lot of the big timers on the evening programs too. "If they can give Jarvis five and one-half hours they can certainly allow Joe two hours, even if they have the time." CRITIC'S CORNER ... Never have I viewed such a disgraceful and sloppy show and performance as turned out by Frank Sinaatra during his last Tuesday's telecast. In a 5 o'clock spot, a time when all of our kids are glued to TV, his ill-bred speech and use of the Lord's name was quite apparent and offensive. This is not for TV. It is better fitting a main street midnight burlesque. The Louis Armstrong scene was the only good portion of the show. TELE-TIPS ... A brand new show making its debut over KNBH (4) tonight at 6:15 is "Peanut Circus" featuring Nutty the Clown and a backstage-at-the-circus theme. Grand-mothers get into the spotlight when "A Date With Grandma" makes its debut over KTTV (11) at 7. It'll be part judo, part wrestling and part catch as catch can when Kimon Kudo meets Danny McShain in the wrestling card feature over KLAC (13) at 8:30. Seems like tonight is premiere night for new programs on TV, with KTLA (5) introducing the new series titled "Chevron Theater" at 9.

According to Don Fedderson,general manager of the station: “Joe is being supported and pushed as much as possible. He is under a seven year contractwith the station, and everythingis being done to build him.” Fedderson went on to say, “For the sake of ratings andgeneral interest, the format ofthe show was changed, and theresults have been noticeable already. In fact, the show attracts over 5,000 studio audienceguests each month.” Joe, who was a G-man forfive months during the war, is married and has a son, Jay, goingon 3, and another on the way.

Josef Stalin will die by his own hand after the manner of Adolf Hitler at the flaming chimax of a revolt of the Russian masses, followed by the establishment of a democratic government in that country. 2. "Dark horse" presidential candidates will emerge from both Democratic and Republican conventions during the summer, men beholden to none and owing no political debts, either one able to enter the White House morally equipped and mentally capable to carry out the orders handed UP to him FROM the electorale. 3. A surge of religious fervor will move the people not only of this nation but of all nations, and churches will be unable to accommodate the throngs. Creeds, superstitions and dogmas will no longer muddle religious thinking, and true Christianity will be taught . . . and learned. 4. Labor will be neither excessive not unreasonable in its demands, and management will be eminently fair. Employee and employer will work as one for the betterment of the nation and the world. 5. By Christmas, Korea will be but a painful memory. All foreign forces will have left that battered land and the Koreans for the first time in centuries will be free of foreign interference. 6. The nations of the world arriving at a covenant at long last based on a sincere belief in the dignity of man, will have foreworn all form of force in their relationships and any dispute arising between two countries will be decided at Olympics games with athletes of the disputing countries contending in a non-partisan country. 7. The $75 billion originally budgeted for armament in this country for 1952 will — just for this one year—be used for research to effect prevention or cure for polio, cancer, and tuberculosis. 8. Individuals will be evaluated for what they are worth and what they can do, regardless of the color of their skins or the shape of their noses. 9. Taxes will be cut by 50 per cent. 10. And, looking way ahead to 1953—a Pacific Coast football team will win a Rose Bowl game. Well . . . a guy can dream, can't he? OUR THANKS to Rev. Herbert Borchers, announcer for the "Southern California Lutheran Hour" who this morning at 9:30 read and commented on our New Year's Eve column on his program from radio station KGELt. Ite. Borchers said that particular column was "necessarily pessimistic" but that it contained food for thought. The script was prepared by Rev. E. H' Kreidt of Monrovia.
