Will it end...? Some people, making out their tax return on 1951 income, are realizing how the tax has crept up and socked them. Take a single man who has been making $3000 steadily for years. He finds the tax on his 1951 income was 17 per cent higher than on 1950 income and 22 per cent more than on 1949 income. And the tax on his 1952 income will be 23 per cent greater than the tax on his 1949 income. The tax varies by individuals and income. For example: take a single man who has been making $15,000 steadily for years. The tax on his 1951 income was 12.5 per cent more than on 1950 income and 16.3 per cent more than on 1949 income. And the tax on his 1952 income will be 27.3 per cent above that on his 1949 income. Here is how we got into this still further on 1948 and 1949 income to the lowest postwar point. But in the fall of 1950, after Koren, Congress apped the tax and then, in the fall of 1951, boosted it again. That tax increase late in 1950 applied to the last three months of 1950. So the tax you paid in 1951, on 1950 income was higher than the tax you paid in 1950 on 1949 income. The increase approved in 1950, while affecting only three months of your 1950 income, was to take full effect in 1951, covering your income for all 12 months of 1951. But when Congress stepped in again in the fall of 1951 with still another increase, it said the new higher tax would apply to the last two months of 1951 income and all 12 months of 1952 income. So you can see how the tax you pay now in 1952 on 1951 in committee looks into tax case of Iowa's Boardsley. It will fine resting buck-passing Justice Department jury. At any rate, before sent the alleged tax Beardsley to Justice, phoned the Justice Tax division, asked tice would prosecute Justice lawyers r would make no com look at the case, then. So Treasury sent Justice—without re-tion." Justice tax under Lawar C a look, tentatively prosecution. Cauldle. Later Caudle was the Iowa governor's o ferred to Attorney Garth himself. He m eck, found this w time in 11 years the T sent a case to Justi recommendation." So decided he wasn't goin first A. G. in 11 years the spot. He sent th to the Treasury w note; "what is your re-tion?" The tax varies by individuals and income. For example: take a single man who has been making $15,000 steadily for years. The tax on his 1951 income was 12.5 per cent more than on 1850 income and 16.3 per cent more than on 1949 income. And the tax on his 1952 income will be 27.3 per cent above that on his 1949 income. Here is how we got into this fix. After the war—takes reached their peak in 1944 and 1945—Congress cut taxes twice. But in the past 18 months it has raised them twice. The fight end was on 1951 and 1947 income. Then Congress cut 'No one knows...' Former Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson, perhaps prophetically, remarked only last month that death may come unexpectedly. Yesterday the former federal judge died in the Elizabeth, N. J., crush of an airliner he boarded after a last-minute decision. Patterson was in Buffalo, N. Y., for a court trial and had not planned to leave until last night by train. But when the action was completed sooner than expected, he cancelled the train reservation and asked an associate to get him a plane reservation for his return to New York. A few hours later, death came to Patterson who last Dec. 23 told a hospital dinner that "no one knew when or where" death and disease will strike. The prominent lawyer, who would have been 61 on Feb. 12, reached the pinnacle of his government career in 1945 when President Truman named him Secretary of War to succeed Henry L. Stimson, now dead. In 1947, Patterson left the government to return to private law practice, but he continued to urge a buildup of American military strength. At World War L's end, he said: "If we disdipate our military strength, we shall be asking for another war, a war more fateful than any we have yet known." He was in Europe at the time the war started in Korea in 1953. Denouncing Russia, he said the North Koreans launched their attack at Moscow's command.

HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago January, 1877 The Los Nietas Valley Courier says: We are pleased to know that the Anaheim Gazette will make its reappearance next week, bright and newsy as ever. The fire destroyed all the material in the office. One of the proprietors immediately went to San Francisco, purchased the necessary outfit, and in two weeks from the time of the fire the Gazette will again be a welcome guest in the homes of its patrons and the sanctums of its friends. We have been greatly impressed with the many kindly paragraphs printed about us in nearly every paper in the state, and we feel not a little pride in discovering that our relations with our brother journalists have been so pleasant as to evoke such genuine utterances of sympathy with us in our misfortune. To the press of this county (Los Angeles) especially, we hereby return our sincere thanks for the many friendly words they have said about the Gazette during the past two weeks. The Messrs. Plato, in a card published today, return thanks to the citizens for their kindly efforts on the night of the fire, a tribute in which the Gazette cordially joins. The statement of the condition of the Bank of Anaheim is published this morning. The exhibit shows that the institution is a healthy one, and it is a matter for congratulation that our citizens have so cordially encouraged the enterprise. The rain which fell on Sunday morning and for noon was most penetrical. The farmers expect large crops this year. The survey of the town will be completed some time this week. Peter Richards has rented his home to B. F. Siebert. About 1½ inches of rain fell on Sunday morning. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday Henry Knapke was re-elected zanjero for the ensuing year. Anaheim wine is being shipped to San Diego. Two barrels went this morning. Pete Richards will leave for San Luis Obispo in a few days with the intention of making that place his permanent residence. We make this announcement with regret, not only because of the strong personal friendship which for years has existed between Mr. Richards and ourselves, but also, because the community can ill afford to lose him. WASHINGTON—If the King committee looks into the income-tax case of Iowa's Gov. William Beardsley, it will find some interesting buck-passing between the Justice Department and the Treasury. The Treasury frequently complains that it sends tax-fraud cases to Justice, then Justice twiddles its fingers, falls to prosecute. But in the case of the governor of a state, it looks as if neither wanted to prosecute. At any rate, before the treasury sent the alleged tax fraud of Gov. Beardsley to Justice, T-men phoned the Justice Department's Tax division, asked whether Justice would prosecute a governor. Justice lawyers replied they would make no comment, would look at the case, then decide. So Treasury sent the case to Justice—"without recommendation," Justice tax attorneys, then under Lamar Caude, took a look, tentatively decided for prosecution. Caude agreed. Later Caude was ousted, and the Iowa governor's case was referred to Attorney General McGarth himself. He made a quick check, found this was the first time in 11 years the Treasury had sent a case to Justice "without recommendation." So McGrath decided he wasn't going to be the first A. G. in 11 years to be put on the spot. He sent the case back to the Treasury with a brief note; "what is your recommendation?" African Holiday If you're the son of a genera. African Holiday If you're the son of a genera, in the army engineers, you can get a summer vacation in Morocco—all expenses paid by the taxpayers. At least that's what happened to the 20-year-old son of Maj. Gen. J. Stewart Bragdon, just before he retired as deputy chief of Army Engineers. The son became a $400-per-month "inspector" on an Army engineer project in French Morocco; stayed just long enough for a summer vacation. Ogrious fact is that young J. Stewart Bragdon, Jr., did not apply for the job. Word was passed to the contractor to hire him—a "recommendation" from the Mills company to Atlas constructors, building air bases in French Morocco for the Army Engineers. Atlas constructors immediately took the hint and wrote a nice letter to the general's son at the University of Virginia. Mr. Ralph Mills has advised us that you are interested in employment on our project when your school term is over," formally wrote L. W. Sproat, Atlas personnel director. "I would appreciate your advising me of your availability date and would like also a resume of the work you have done in the past in order Married—In Anaheim January 28—1877, by Justice Bailey, Mr. Wm. Clark to Miss Lizzie Alvord. Jeems Piper, or Pierville, alias Stephen Massett, is the guest of E. J. Baldwin at Santa Anita. The Deputy Sheriff's dog "Carlo," wears Anaheim town license tag No. 1. that I can best place you in our organization." However, the general's son had no past construction experience. So the company simply labeled him "inspector," put him on the payroll at $400 per month, beginning June 17 with transportation, meals on route and medical expenses paid by Uncle Sam via the company. Part of your Bragdon's salary was withheld to pay his fare home. Sure enough, just before the fall school term, Bragdon quit and was flown home. However, the full amount of the plane ticket hadn't been deducted from his pay, so Atlas was forced to make up the difference. As a result, Bragdon still owes Atlas—and the taxpayers—$179.85. It's a cheap way to finance an overseas trip, if your dad happens to be an important general in the Army Engineers. LEGAL NOTICES (Pub. Anaheim Gazette Jan. 2, 9, 16, 23, 20, 1852.

DANSON HOLLYWOOD — (NOTE: A few weeks ago, I appeared with Grace Lawson on her TV show with the promise that she would do a column. She turned in her copy which could actually make up a small book. The recipes had to be eliminated because of space, but if you're interested, suggest you contact Grace at KECA-TV). A FAIR EXCHANGE By Grace Lawson As the old year drew to a close, tall, handsome, versatile Tom Danson came to our kitchen in Adventures in Food, KECA-TV, to make his famous Potato Pancakes. They were everything he promised — light, tender and delectable beyond description! However — Sir Tom drives a good bargain. Said he, "I'll make my pancakes, what will you do for me?" Write your column and fill it with dumplings," and so a promise made is a debt unpaid. We give you the following dumplings. Noah Webster says a dumpling is: "A pulling of paste or dough, often folded over and enveloping fruit or meat; also, a small mass of dough dropped, or dumped, into boiling soup or stew." Andre L. Simon, in the Dictionary of Gastromomy, defines dumplings as: "One of the most typically English contributions to the art of the kitchen.

A large audience assembled in the opera-house on Monday evening to witness the performance given under the awnices of the Altar Guild of the Episcopal church. The entertainment was under the immediate supervision of Prof. and Mrs. Starks of Chicago. Among those taking part were Misses May and Irene Cargill, Mrs. Cora Erdman, Miss Julia Nemetz, Miss Fritzie Hieman and Miss Minna Roper of Santa Ana. Gus Strodehoff has returned to Jerome, A. T., after a pleasant visit with relatives here. 25 Years Ago January, 1927 Miss Katherine Adams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adams who is a student at Oregon Agricultural College, has been spending her holiday vacation with her parents in this city. She will return north on Saturday. Mrs. A. A. Perdono, who has been visiting some weeks with friends in Santa Barbara, returned home the first of the week. For Health, Eat California Fruit Andre L. Simon, in the Dictionary of Gastenomy, defines dumplings as: "One of the most typically English contributions to the art of the kitchen. They are mostly boiled balls of a mixture of beef dripping or suet, flour, breadcrumbs, eggs and milk, everything that is filling and nourishing. The proportions of these ingredients and some fanciful additions depend upon individual cooks, and there are even Dumplings called Hard dumplings, which are made of flour and water, and nothing else, except some salt, of course. When the Dumpling dough is used to encase either fruit or meat, the Dumpling has to be qualified accordingly as Apple Dumpling, Liyer Dumpling, etc." Personally, if you make them properly and have a light hand in mixing the ingredients and absolutely no curiosity after you have put them into the boiling liquid, you will create a celestial treat. America has long been interested in, and loved, dumplings. The kindest thing a swain can say to his true love is: "You're my sugar dumpling"; and everybody knows about Baby Dumpling of the funnies. A Pricasee of Chicken Wings that produced a good rich gravy, topped by egg dumplings, was always a sight and taste to gladden the heart of the late President Roosevelt. Our only surviving President Herbert Hoover will frankly tell dumplings is :"A pulling of paste or dough, often folded over and enveloping fruit or meat; also, a small mass of dough dropped, or dumped, into boiling soup or stew."

OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER PROGRAM DIRECTORS at the TV stations had best look a little more closely at the films they present: Documentary films made during World War II are apt to contain embarrassing scenes. Perhaps you saw the film "True Glory" telecast by KECA (channel 7) at 8 o'clock Sunday night. Hal Boyle By SAUL PETT For Hal Boyle NEW YORK (UP)—Cecil Blount DeMille, the Hollywood producer and director of extravagant spectacles, opened our interview by discussing some new lighting techniques developed for his latest film, "The Greatest Show On Earth." Very interesting, I said. When, I asked, does the picture open? DeMille's secretary, a woman who has been with him 30 years, became rigid, as though a mortal enemy had just entered the room. His press agent couldn't have looked more pained if he had been stabbed. Only DeMille weathered the faux pas with poise. For the tiniest fraction of a second, his eyes reflected pain and bewilderment. But they quickly warmed as the sensitive artist retreated and the realist citizen of the world took over. He quietly explained the picture already had opened and had received, as a matter of fact, good notices. Surviving that near miss, the account or allied achievements against the Nazi war machine in Europe, was made at a time when America and England were allied with Russia in a common effort to exterminate Hitler and all he stood for, and at that time it was popular to admire the Russians and to look upon them as a mighty ally, fighting with us against the forces of evil to perpetuate freedom. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower introduced the film. It sounded good during wartime when we were led to believe that Stalin was just a kindly old, pipe-smoking "Uncle Joe." But today it is different. In one scene of the film, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin are posing for the movie camera, and the narrator describes them as "three great architects of freedom." I would just like to ask the program director at KECA: Is Stalin a great architect of freedom? And I would even go so far as to advise him to edit his films, documentary or otherwise, a little more carefully before beaming them into American homes. Otherwise, he may unwittingly give the Russians underserved advertising. "Architect of freedom" is hardly a fitting description of With Lawson M.E. DANSON you there are only two kinds of Apple Dumplings he likes; they are Apple Dumplings baked in syrup, and Apple Dumplings boiled. He likes them either hot or cold and this is an old Quaker method that has been long dear to his heart. The rich and poor, the great and the near great, the famous and the infamous to the humblest peasant appreciate good dumplings. TELETIPS . . .

Gene Smith For the tiniest fraction of a second, his eyes reflected pain and bewilderment. But they quickly warmed as the sensitive artist retreated and the realist citizen of the world took over. He quietly explained the picture already had opened and had received, as a matter of fact, good notices. Surviving that near miss, the interview proceeded serenely. DeMille is a short, bald man of 70, with gentle eyes, a soft voice and a courteous manner. Being that way, he makes big ideas sound bigger when he discusses them. He said he would like to take more time to contemplate the mysteries of the world. "Itake astonomy," he said. "It has progressed so much in the last 15 years, there's enough there to make a man think for the next 100. Also, I always wonder how the book of Genesis had the knowledge it did. Science proves it every day." "And the atom. It creates much. But what creates it? That brings you down to the question of the mind and the soul, which are coming closer together all the time." DeMille said he would like to have time to consider these things at "Paradise," his 1000-acre ranch near Hollywood. "It's only 55 minutes from the studio," he said. "When I drive in, wild deer come bouncing over and line up for a handout. I have a small stone cottage far from the big house. It's a wonderful place to be alone and think." A restless creator, DeMille already is thinking of his next picture. It may be the story of Helen of Troy. "After all," he said, "remove the gods and goddesses, and you have the story of 1952. The same situation. Asia and evil are preparing to overrun Europe. "Europe needs to be solidified today against the threat. For this, it needs an incident.

And I would even go so far as to advise him to edit his films, documentary or otherwise, a little more carefully before beaming them into American homes. Otherwise, he may unwittingly give the Russians deserved advertising. "Architect of freedom" is hardly a fitting description of Stalin. "Architect of doom," perhaps, would be more appropriate. AND WHILE ON such subjects, if you haven't read Adolf Hitler's book "Mein Kampf," you should. In it Hitler said that World War II would be not a war, but merely a battle . . . just an episode in a bigger conflict. Hitler's idea, from the start was to wreck Europe . . . to render it incapable of returning to its former status as a group of autonomous states. In that, we must admit that Hitler succeeded, and that even in death he was victorious. Now it seems that someone bigger has taken over where Hitler left off, but this one is not content merely to sack Europe. He is out to wreck the world. In all this current hysteria let us never forget that in Stalin we have no fly-by-night enemy. in Kaiserism and Hitlerism we contended with something which sprang up, comparatively speaking, overnight and which was, as the saying goes, smacked down overnight. Communism on the other hand, has grown through the years; it seems to have a trick of appealing to certain peoples and becoming firmly implanted in areas far removed from its headquarters, Moscow. And you can't smack it down by force. Bombs, bullets, fire and sword will not exterminate this germ. This is something which gets into the minos and the souls of men. We could blow Korea off the man. We could lay waste to it. DIAL-LITES ... Gene Smith and Corky Gonzales meet in a 10-round boxing bout tonight in Washington, D.C., which will be aired over KNX at 7...

For the separate states of Greece, Helen of Troy supplied the incident. And when you've got the most beautiful woman in the world—the face that launched a 1000 ships'—you've got a good movie story." DeMille probably is best known for such sweeping epics as "The Ten Commandments," "The King of Kings," "The Sign of the Cross" and "Benson and Delilah," among the 70 pictures he has made. What accounts for his penchant for bigness in movies, for painting on a broad historical canvas? "Father probably influenced me the most," DeMille said. "He used to read to us, every night, a chapter from the Bible and one from American history. Father studied for the ministry but mother persuaded him he would have a larger congregation by writing for the theater. "So, he became a playwright and carried his message of one God and love thy neighbor through the theater. He was confined by the walls of the stage and reached only thousands. "In the movies, I've been able to reach audiences all around the world with the same message. As a matter of fact, I have the figures from Paramount accountants.

We could emasculate the economy of America trying to beat down this hydra-headed monster which crops up three-fold elsewhere every time we try to storhp it down in a given spot. But this would not kill communism. This is no fight of bullets, bombs, torpedoes, poison gas or atom bombs. This is a titanic struggle for the minds of men. Let us hope that we have the wherewithal to get those minds and those souls into our camp before it is too late.
