Let's face it—Harry loves the job...
Political observers trained their field glasses today on New Hampshire, where the first vote-getting skirmish of the presidential campaign seemed to be developing.
The deadline for filing in New Hampshire’s March 11 primary was 5 p.m. (EST) today. The balloting—sort of a popularity contest among presidential candidates prior to nominating conventions—will be the first of its kind this year.
A three-way Republican race there appeared possible and also in prospect was a tilt between at least two Democrats.
The Republican choice will lie among Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Senator Robert Taft of Ohio and Harold E. Stassen, president-on-leave of the University of Pennsylvania.
Yesterday, Democrats talked of day’s deadline, but the White House declined comment. The move stirred Kefauver supporters, who have said previously that, if Mr. Truman enters the New Hampshire arena, the crime-hunting Senator will climb in, too.
If Mr. Truman’s name is entered today it might pry out of him his political intentions. The president has kept mum on whether or not he will seek another term. He would have 10 days after his name is filed to accept or reject the bid.
General Eisenhower’s name was the first filed and he left the 10-day deadline expire without willdrawing. Taft and Stassen were qualified yesterday.
As to President Truman’s plans, Chairman Frank McKinney of the Democratic National committee served up some food for thought.
WASHINGTON — On for the extra-tight secrecy of the House Judiciary commission, rebate on probing the Justice Department was that the doctor of President Trump Gen. Wallace Graham, volved.
Also, Attorney General McGrath used just about lobbying trick in the bag vent the probe, and certain greessmen didn’t want it how abruptly they reverse selves because of admin pressure. Among them Chairman Emmanuel Cohen New York, who had just told the president that he wanted to do what he did not do—gate.
The dynamite regarding man’s personal physician tossed into the closed-door mittee discussion by Commissioner Kenneth Keating of York, who told how G. Grassam had tried to keep notorious Rumanian, Malaxa, in the U.S.A.
Keating has alleged that laxa has sent jewairy to Adler, communist premiermania, has collaborated with the Nazis and the comm and has had so much drag Moscow that he is the only manian business man abused $2,000,000 out of that country CIA report found in Judson’s purse also showed that laxa made Field Marshalling’s brother a partner in business before the war.

A three-way Republican race there appeared possible and also in prospect was a tilt between at least two Democrats.
The Republican choice will lie among Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Senator Robert Taft of Ohio and Harold E. Stassen, president-in-leave of the University of Pennsylvania.
Yesterday, Democrat talked of entering President Truman and Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee.
In Concord, N. H., Trump backers said they would enter the president's name before to
Quiet session, no taxes—perhaps...
As the time draws closer to the March, 1952 session of the State Legislature, the indications are that few if any of the major issues confronting the state will be brought before the solons at that time.
With the exception of authorizing a state budget of what will amount to much more than a billion dollars for the 1952-53 fiscal year, the legislative activities this year are expected to be confined in the special session to be called by the governor concurrently with the regular budget session, to minor matters concerning civil defense, the changing of the joint tenancy law, and probable action on a sex bill, if it's ready for scrutiny.
The governor has stated specifically that "in my own thinking, I have not contemplated the possibility of raising taxes." And unless he changes his mind between now and March 3, this means the Legislature will not be given any matters to consider which would take more money out of the pockets of the citizens.
For virtually all of the big issues, including highways, schools, and the suggestion for an additional cent on the sales tax to be subvented to city and county governments, if resolved to the benefit of the people, are going to mean more taxes in some form or
city sales taxes, the governor at a recent press conference did a fair job of shiding away from this issue. He pointed out that such an increase would be a real tax jump for many people, in view of the fact that not all of the population of California lives in cities where a municipal taxes tax is assessed.
On the other hand, the idea is sponsored by the County Supervisors association, which has in mind the fact that all cities and counties would receive a return from the tax, with the result that possibly, some reduction in property taxes could be effected if the state increase is adopted. The idea is also sponsored by the California Retailers, who hope to effect some uniformity in sales tax collection.
Meanwhile, it is a fairly safe bet that no issues will come before the legislature this special session which are apt to throw out the ugly question of controversy in an election year. With Warren running for President, 80 assemblymen, and 20 senators seeking election, it is fairly reasonable to conclude that controversy will be skipped.
State Soldier Receives Honor
General Eisenhower's name was the first filed and he left the 10-day deadline expire without willdrawing. Taft and Stassen were qualified yesterday.
As to President Truman's plans, Chairman Frank McKinney of the Democratic National committee served up some food for thought. Coming out of the White House yesterday, he told reporters he had seen "no indication" Mr. Truman might be considering a Democratic presidential candidate other than himself.
Nevertheless, the Justice department gave Malaxa a stable report, putting him preferred position to become permanent resident of the United States.
This recommendation, gressman Keating told the clary committee, was based on an affidavit from Ma Wallace Graham—bullion up as a fine fellow."
"Apparently this man (M) reaches into high places," the York Republican told hisished colleagues. "I want to out how high—and who hisors are besides Dr. Graham also want to find out who Immigration Service wrote report clearing Malaxa."
NOTE—Once before, Dr. Ham faced Congressional clergy and admitted speculating on commodity market. Unnecessary he was later promoted to president from brigadier-general general. On one occasion, Malaxa came all thru from New York to Washington to get a physical checkup byeral Graham.
Hot Wire Pulling
About 10 days before the debate inside the Judiciary mittee, its chairman, Mannler of Brooklyn, went down the White House and warned president that he was going investigate the Justice Department.
He told Mr. Truman that under great pressure to test the probe and, as a matter of courtesy, wanted the W House to know he was proing. The president, now urged him to hold off, promised to remove Attu General McGrath.
State Soldier Receives Honor Medal from Truman
WASHINGTON (P) — President Truman pinned the nation's most treasured medal on two army heroes yesterday and voiced hope that their valor would inspire "fighters for the right" in civilian government.
The president conferred the Medal of Honor on Sergeant First Class Joseph C. Rodriguez, of San Bernardino, and Master Sergeant Hubert L. Lee of Leland, Miss.
The exploits of the two sergeants in the Korean war, Mr. Truman said, were among "the most remarkable I have ever read, and I have furnished more of these medals to these brave young men than any other president."
Said Mr. Truman:
"Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if in our civil affairs we had fighters for the right, like these two young men?
"I hope their example will be enough to cause more people to take the responsibility for government that they should take, and to fight for the right as these young men fought for liberty and the welfare of the world."
General Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was present for the ceremony. So were Secretary of Defense Lovett and General John E. Hull, vice-chief of staff of the Army.
He told Mr. Truman that under great pressure to the probe and, as a matter of courtesy, wanted the W House to know he was proing. The president now urged him to hold off, promised to remove Attu General McGrath.
"I'm going to clean this up," the president said, and Celler how he was appo McGrath as Ambassador to S replacing him with Judge J Miller. The president talked some length about what an man Miller is and how every would be cleaned up, thus m Celler's investigation unnecess
Thereafter, powerful inences went to bat for the torney general, including law partner, Senator Green Rhode Island, and Care Spellman of New York. The after, also, the president versed himself.
But, despite the fact that change has been made in the tice Department, Celler did e lly opposite of what he told White House. He pulled all of wires to block a Justice De ment probe by his comm even postponing the first vote five days to give the admini tion time to high-pressure Democratic members.

WASHINGTON — One reason for the extra-tight secrecy during the House Judiciary committee's debate on probing the Justice Department was that the personal doctor of President Truman, Maj. Gen. Wallace Graham, was involved.
Also, Attorney General Howard McGrath used just about every bobbying trick in the bag to prevent the probe, and certain Congressmen didn't want it known how abruptly they reversed themselves because of administration pressure. Among these was Chairman Emmanuel Celler of New York, who had just notified the president that he was going to do what he did not do—investigate.
The dynamite regarding Truman's personal physician was tossed into the closed-door committee discussion by Congressman Kenneth Keating of New York, who told how General Graham had tried to keep the notorious Rumanian, Nicola Malaxa, in the U.S.A.
Keating has alleged that Malaxa has sent jewelry to Ana Fauer, communist premier of Romania, has collaborated both with the Nazis and the communists, and has had so much drag with Moscow that he is the only Romanian business man able to get 2,000,000 out of that country. A CIA report found in Judy Copan's purse also showed that Malaxa made Field Marshall Goering's brother a partner in his business before the war.

The Express says that the experiment recently made at Wilmington using the eucalyptus as piles, has proven a failure. The toredo, or ship worm, has bored clear through the eucalyptus wood, honey-combing it in a very pretty manner, while the redwood piles have scarcely been teached. A piece of the eucalyptus pile has been sent to this city from Wilmington, and attracted a good deal of attention while on exhibition at the depot this morning.
The following officers of Orpheus Lodge, IOOF were installed on Thursday evening by John P. Zeyn, Henry Knapke and F. A. Korn; H. A. Boege, N.G.; A. Helman V.G.; Robert Menzel; secretary; Martin Classen, treasurer.
A telegram was received here yesterday morning stating that Frank R. Lafaucherie died at Oakland Sunday night. Mr. J. J. Hill started for that place yesterday morning.

Next day the actress hoped to go on at the matinee, but was unable and the doctor advised that she must rest until Monday. It is uncertain whether she will be able to act next week. She has been playing to crowded houses and all the critics have praised her acting highly.
Chauncey Huggans was in town from Fullerton on Monday. He says he will open his bottling works and ice warehouse in a few days. Furniture for the works is now arriving and being installed.
County treasurer Joplin has received from the state $30,845.44, Orange county's proportion of the state school funds.
Photographer Howard has taken a number of very fine views of the city from the tower of the Del Campo. They compare favorably with Los Angeles work. No one should go away from Anaheim for photographic work so long as we have here an artist of Mr. Howard's excellence.

He told Mr. Truman that he under great pressure to make the probe and, as a matter of courtesy, wanted the White House to know he was proceeding. The president, however, urged him to hold off, even omitted to remove Attorney General McGrath.
I'm going to clean this thing up the president said, and told her how he was appointing Grath as Ambassador to Spain, facing him with Judge Justin Miller. The president talked at the length about what an able Miller is and how everything could be cleaned up, thus making her investigation unnecessary. Thereafter, powerful influences went to bat for the attorney general, including his new partner, Senator Green of Oregon Island, and Cardinalallman of New York. Thereafter, also, the president reused himself.
But, despite the fact that norage has been made in the Justice Department, Celler did exact-apposite of what he told the State House. He pulled all sorts of fires to block a Justice Department probe by his committee, postponing the first vote for days to give the administration time to high-pressure allocratic members.

Richard Krebs was in town some days ago, coming over from his Orange ranch at Azusa to attend a meeting of the local Maonic lodge, of which he has been a member for many years. He came to Anaheim 50 years ago next July, and was for years superintendent of the extensive Dreyfus winery, being known as one of the most expert manufacturers of wines and brandies in the state.

Special All-Star Program
Set for March of Dimes
By TOM E. DANSON
HOLLYWOOD — I had the pleasure of watching the special tape recorded NBC All-Stars March of Dimes program in action the other night, where a host of stars were donating their time for this worthy public service. The program, which the stars themselves will be able to relax and listen to, is to be heard tonight over KFI at 7:35.
There'll be plenty of comedy and fun, with just the right amount of seriousness injected into the show for the cause, when the cast of, Phil Harris and Alice Faye, Bob Hope, Jim and Marion Jordan (Fibber McGee and Molly), Ralph Edwards, Dennis Day, Robert Young, Elliott Lewis (Remley), Lole Corbett and Michael Chapin go into full swing. Don Wilson handles the announcing chores, while Robert Armbruster and his great NBC orchestra supply the music.
Just as a teaser with the script of the show here on my desk, I am going to expose a few of the jokes and gags that will be heard. In one scene, Phil Harris is talking with Frankie Remley with Phil saying:
REMLEY: You're my pal, you would do anything I asked, wouldn't you? FRANKIE: Of course, anything at all. I'd do anything to help you. Just name it. HARRIS: I've got a job to do special program.
DOWN TV-RADIO BOW ... The effect of TV is beginning to be felt. New York's Bar Association recently voted down a resolution to ban radio and TV coverage of public hearings ... "Space Patrol" messed up their effects last Sunday, when the prop man's hands with water hose could be seen in the picture, when the ship was supposed to be sliding into the sea. Gotta watch that, boys. Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick will be this year's recipient of the Graham McNamee Memorial Award of the Sports Broadcasters.
TELE-HIPS ... Two more of the "Invitation Playhouse" dramas will be shown on KLAC (18) at 7. They are titled, "You Listening. Homer?" and "Rosebud". The hilarious "Brewster's Millions" will be shown on KTTV (11) at 7. This is a very funny movie! Jack Bailey will become a regular member of the "Who Knows?" panel over KECA (7) at 8. With his quick and sharp wit, Jack should do well in this spot... Dan Duryea will make his first TV appearance on the Kate Smith show, along with Herb Shriner and Xavier Cugat when Tviewed over KNBH (4) at 8... Frank McKinney, chairman

(Capitol News Service)
SACRAMENTO — Although speculation is rife on the issues that will confront the state legislature when it meets March 3 in the budget session, the betting is fairly safe that none of the major issues which could throw the solons into controversy will be brought up.
There are several reasons for this. First, the even-year session is Constitutionally a budget session, and this year, the solons will be confronted with expenditures far over a billion dollars for the 1952-53 fiscal year.
Governor Warren is a candidate for president. Eighty assemblymen; and 20 senators are seeking office, for the most part, on the basis of re-election. Traditionally major controversies which could cost a candidate votes, are assiduously avoided in an election year.
And again, interim committees have not completed studies, which always is a good excuse for delaying any sort of an issue.
The governor says he has given consideration to the whole fiscal situation, but so far, has not determined what to recom-
mend to the legislature in view of demands for tax reduction, a huge surplus which must be disposed of or put away for future use, and a continuously changing world situation which could affect state income materially. His attitude is that decisions should be made as close to the time of action as possible.
Meanwhile, it appears as though the subjects of highways, water, schools and tax revision, other than items contained in the budget for action on these subjects, will wait until the 1953 regular legislative session for action. One major issue here remains.
Bailey will become a regular member of the "Who Knows?" panel over KECA (7) at 8. With his quick and sharp wit, Jack should do well in this spot... Dan Duryea will make his first TV appearance on the Kate Smith show, along with Herb Shriner and Xavier Cugat when Tviewed over KNBH (4) at 8... Frank McKinney, chairman of the National Democratic Committee, is "Man of the Week" on the public affairs program over KNXT (2) at 10:30... With more professional handling of the microphone, "City at Night" over KTLA (5) at 10 could be far more interesting.
DIAL-LITES ... "Halls of Ivy" presents the story of the school's ace track star during the airing from KFI at 6:30... The 10-round heavyweight boxing bout between Clarence Henry and Bob Satterfield will be broadcast tonight over KNX at 7... A phone call, suddenly interrupted by the sound of gunshots, sends "The Top Guy" into action over KECA at 8... "Hypnosls" will be traced from 3000 B.C. to 1952 A.D. during "Out of Thunder" over KHJ at 9:30.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY... The best way to keep fate on your side is to have faith.

J. E. Pleasants, veteran county treasurer inspector was reappointed to his office by the county supervisors Tuesday, winning the post from a younger rival, Grover Mcgley, who was supported for the office by a group of bee keepers of the county. Another group of bee mon appeared in person before the board to urge retention of Mr. Pleasants, the work he was carried on for many years.
Anaheim Lodge No. 207 F. and M., installed their newly elected officers Friday night. An interesting program was presented in connection with the installation. W. H. Spake, P. M., was installing officer, and Chas. Moeller deputy inspector, was master of ceremonies. Among those installed were William P. Wehb, W. M. and the others were; Carroll Webb, J. L. Adkins, Wm. Namberis, E. H. Metcalf, W. D. Mohienberger, A. G. Wright, G. Ehrle, Hugo Schulz, R. H. Holmhora, J. H. Whitaker, J. H. Enrli. Mrs. Freda Lunsdon gave vocal solo and Jack Gledghill an instrumental selection. Eloise affect state income materially. His attitude is that decisions should be made as close to the time of action as possible.
Meanwhile, it appears as though the subjects of highways, water, schools and tax revision, other than items contained in the budget for action on these subjects, will wait until the 1958 regular legislative session for action. One major issue, however, tax reduction in the income and franchise fields, will be up for an airing, as the constitution gives the budget session authority to act on "revenue matters pertaining to the budget bill."
Executive
National politics and the governor's office go hand in hand now-days. The governor will go to Boston, Mass., next month, for a speech in that city, one of his important efforts on behalf of his presidential candidacy. While in the east, he will also make speeches in New York, and plans to appear on television, there giving Easterners an opportunity to find out what the candidate out of the west looks like. In addition to his activities nationally, the governor is keeping up the work of the state's executive office, made several appointments last week, and attended a meeting of the Board of Regents of the University of California.
Traffic
The department of agriculture said that more than 8,200,000 persons entered California during 1951, which is an amazing figure and amounts to approximately two thirds of the total population of the state itself. Not all, of course, were tourist, or permanent residents, but approximately half came in automobiles register-
