TAEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BEELER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIDT City Editor STANLEY JONES Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager G. E. MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager -Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor FLORIDA IS having trouble with this year's record breaking citrus crop. That is, the grower is not getting as much money for his fruit as in previous years. But there is no panic, no chaos and no prices so low as the California grower received last year for his "juice" fruit from a certain big co-operative. Guess? If there were no Florida Mutual the Florida grower would indeed be in bad shape today. What higher praise can one give an organization of producers? Just remember though that the trouble is with early and mid-season varieties which, from reliable reports, have never even approached the Florida valencia from a consumer preference or from processor preference. We here in California have an entirely different picture on our different varieties. We have, virtually, only two, valencia and navel. Both of our varieties are superior in fresh form to Florida oranges —except the Florida valencia. This is their best orange. But their valencia is also the fruit which makes the best frozen concentrate. From Florida standards this means it always brings the most money to the grower. THERE ARE many other factors at work in Florida this season which have combined to keep the price down.

Ellen has spent a gr of her time in the last four singing to her favorite a—the men in our Armeni at camps, and particular pitals. Never, has she turned request to appear on show or a camp show. We here in California have an entirely different picture on our different varieties. We have, virtually, only two valencia and navel. Both of our varieties are superior in fresh form to Florida oranges—except the Florida valencia. This is their best orange. But their valencia is also the fruit which makes the best frozen concentrate. From Florida standards this means it always brings the most money to the grower. THERE ARE many other factors at work in Florida this season which have combined to keep the price down. The big deal between Snow Crop and Florida Citrus Exchange (a co-operative) did not go through—mainly because the Exchange could not get $1 million more boxes of oranges into their consignment deal. Snow Crop needs concentrate but would like to get the merchandise without putting out any money for the fruit until it is sold—just like the California Sunkist Exchange does. When these big companies buy fruit at the Florida Mutual four price and then put it this frozen concentrate there are no "varieties" in the deal. But the California Sunkist Exchange has an conjunction about lowering the price because everybody is paid off in full except the grower. The old grower therefore is the "variable" and the Florida grower is not to sell on being a "variable." Of course, don't forget this, that Florida Citrus Mutual is the great watchdog for the individual grower. There floor prices serve to protect the grower. It is the greatest thing that ever happened to any group of producers. You don't think for a minute that any average grower has anything to say about the California Sunkist Exchange, do you? If you do then you are a bigger sucker than most. WE HAND the California Sunkist Exchange a lot for what they did and what they were in their early days. In those days when they were run by and for a group of growers who were trying to raise the standard of the ENTIRE California citrus industry, in dollar return to all the growers, the Exchange was rendering fine and valuable service. Frankly, in our opinion, they have gone to deed and are so small in their thinking today that they cannot take criticism. It seems to us that the Exchange is run today entirely for the "hired help"; the grower being relegated to the status of a necessary evil or shall we say a controlled necessity. That is about the way the Sunkist deal looks to us and we only wish somebody would step up and prove otherwise. Our jacking houses, of all kinds, are doing a splendid job. The "higherup" piloting and philosophy is where we get licked. Don't forget, either, that the remedies are known, have been suggested and were turned down by top "sheets" who are merely hired hands. Or are they? There is a good question for an afternoon's debate. We can't, for the life of us, see why Mr. Wilcox, or any of his ilk would be against a plan to raise the economic status of the California orange grower. Seems to us this result would make a stronger Exchange as well as strengthen every other segment of the California industry. Quo vadis? IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By Mrs. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago January, 1877 A wagon load of olives from the Old Mission orchard at San Juan Capistrano was brought into town for sale yesterday. Mrs. Francis S. Miles and Mr. Charles Miles arrived here last evening from the east. Henry George addressed a Democratic meeting last night in Los Angeles. 50 Years Ago January, 1902 The Farmer's club will give a grand ball at the Del Campo on Friday evening, the 24th. The young folks will dance in the dining hall and cards will be provided for the older guests in the parlors. An old-fashioned Farmer's club supper will be served; The president of the club M. L. Rogers and the vice-president George A. Hunter both of whom insist their dancing days are over and promise to delight the crowd by taking a turn at the maze, illustrating how their grandfathers danced. The following committees have the affair in charge: executive A. M. Cargill, M. L. Rogers, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Terry. Entertainment, Herman Stern, Fred Backs, Charley Fay. 25 Years Ago January, 1917 Emily Wayne Amack, weight 8 pounds, arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Amack last Friday. The baby was born at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W... Quarton, Mrs. Amacks' parents. Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, has been seriously ill for several days past. S. C. Hartranft occupied the pulpit Sunday morning and in the evening, Dr. G. W. Corey of Erie, Pa., a retired minister, preached. Dr. Haywood is reported much better now, and gradually regaining his health. Bob Fowler is about again, writing insurance and mingling with his friends. He was detained at home a couple of days on account of a slight attack of diphtheria experienced by his little daughter, but she has recovered and the quarantine has been lifted. Following this, anti-Kefer strategists in Ohio conceive idea of volunteering a top ccrat for the Kefauver ticket having him suddenly send a gram to the Ohio secretary state on Feb/6, the filing saying he was unable to go with some of the Kefauver gates and therefore pulling name off the ticket. This would have left theitor from Tennessee high and it would have invalidated all fauver petitions and taken out of the Ohio primary gether. Also it would have hint look like a rank am not in a class with party professionals. However, Tim Hogan, Kefer's Ohio manager, got win this ally strategy, and after aried conference with Congregant Wayne Hays, it was deed to take no chances. Instead big shot as No. 2 on the Kefauver ticket, the name of Marie Rington Krhin of Martins P.Ohio, was inserted. So Ohio Democrats, when they vote in the primary, will o their ballots for Kefauver in a lady who, while complete unknown, happens to be personal secretary to Congress. TV-RADIOLOGIC Gene Autry 'Find' Makes New Recording Song Hit By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Ellen Sutton, who was discovered by Gene Autry several years ago and signed to his radio show for two years, recently made one record for a new label called Keri, which is now beginning to "click" with sales mounting over 10,000. Her hit recording, "I Wanna Say Hello," takes on a honky-tonk barroom flavor with the noise of patrons in the background and, of course, the tin-pan style of piano accompaniment as interpreted by Sir Hubert Pimm (strictly a gag name). The buxom brunette has a rich, colorful voice that imparts a feeling of happiness as she sings, with a style of presentation quite similar to that of the lovable Sophie Tucker. Ellen originally hails from Pittsburgh, Pa., where she began her singing career at the age of 6. Before she was in her teens she was a favorite of many radio listeners in this area, where she had her own sponsored radio show. It was in Pittsburgh where Autry, on one of his tours, heard the gal signing her as feature singer on his C.B.S. show. Ellen has spent a great deal of her time in the last few years singing to her favorite audiences—the men in our Armed Forces at camps, and particularly hospitals. Never, has she turned down a request to appear on a benefit show or a camp show, where she has contributed more than 30 million dollars worth of free time to broadcast programs originating with the United Nations Radio...

Scanning Sports By STAN JONES Certainly getting a raw deal from school administrations will be players from the Orange and Santa Ana high basketball teams and most likely to be hurt more than the rest will be Monte Davis, center for the Saints and Dick Smith of the Panthers. Both are top-notch scorers in the loop race, but as a result of the schools, Orange, and Santa Ana, calling off their scheduled second round cage game due to a few students brawling in the stands, some of which were reportedly not even in either school involved, they will lose out the chance to score points. The Beverly Hills cage tournament was started back in 1942 and was held through the succeeding years at the tailend of the season, but officials found that it was running serious competition with the CIF playoffs and as a result, it was moved back several weeks. In the past, invitations were sent out to the top two teams in College Coach Proposes Ball On Lower Scale SAN JOSE (P) — Glenn C. (Tiny) Hartrahlft, athletics director of San Jose State College, today proposed a conference of seven independents to play low-pressure football starting in 1952. Phil D Conn Be Surprise In Maturity ARCADIA (P)—The surprise, and a certain of eyebrow lifting in bred circles if it is crowd-pleaser. Ellen has spent a great deal of her time in the last few years singing to her favorite audiences—the men in our Armed Forces at camps, and particularly hospitals. Never, has she turned down a request to appear on a benefit show or a camp show, where she keeps the boys applauding for more of her song-styling which ranges from toe-tapping songs to blues and nostalgic ballads. YOUTHFUL WISDOM... When Jane Seymour, "Aunt Clara," on the N.B.C.-TV, "Young Mr. Bobbin" series, called her doctor recently a small voice answered the telephone: "the dentist did I quired Jane." "No my daddy is doing an appendectomy," squeaked the youngster "My, that's a big word for a little boy like you," said Jane. "Do you know what it means?" Oh yes, guilded the toy, "about $200!" DOWN TV-RADIO ROW... Lagmar's new N.B.C.-TV show starts the first week in March... during the past three years, radio man Hays and can be trusted. Note—Opposition to Kefauver in Ohio came from the "Trumanites"—those around Truman who passionately want him to run again—rather than the president himself. Actually the president has expressed friendly sentiments toward the Tennessee Senator, even gave him suggestions during their recent talk on how to conduct his campaign. Among other things, he suggested that not much was to be gained by featuring Kefauver's victory over the Crump machine, also warned him to avoid early contacts with scaly people, said that his geographical location, Tennessee, meant that he should win the support of the South Military Waste. The full scandal hasn't been seen. College Coach Proposes Ball On Lower Scale SAN JOSE (P) — Glenn C. (Tiny) Hartranft, athlete director of San Jose State College, today proposed a conference of seven independents to play low-pressure football starting in 1952. His proposal would return the sport to four or more Pacific Coast schools which have dropped football in the past two or three years. Hartranft would "eliminate rather than minimize alliments of intercollegiate football." Essence of the plan is nonsubsidized, low-budget football that would not bid for huge stadia or intersectional game crowds of 90,000. The conference would include seven of these nine schools: San Jose State, College of Pacific, U. of Nevada, Loyola of Los Angeles, St. Mary's, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Portland (Ore.) University and Gonzaga of Spokane, Wash. Only San Jose, COP and Santa Clara still are fielding grid teams. "I have been encouraged by virtually all of these schools to proceed," Hartranft said. "My job is to get specific commitments so we can start play in 1953." College Cage Scores By The Associated Press U of Hawaii at Southern Calif. 65. Stanford 71, San Jose State 66. L.A.

TOKYO (UP)—A foreign spokesman said today Japan not know whether the Soviets intend to remain here in trade mission after the treaty goes into effect. Military Waste The full scandal hasn't been told, but three U.S. air bases in French Morocco have suddenly been abandoned in the middle of construction. Over one million dollars had already been spent on the three bases—when suddenly the Pentagon changed its mind and decided not to build them. The Senate Preparedness committee is quietly investigating who is responsible for this expensive boner. One report is that the air-strips weren't built on solid ground and sank into the sand; another report is that the rainy season flooded out at least one base. Chairman Lyndon Johnson, Texas Democrat, has demanded a full report. Stalin Gets Mad If we get discouraged over government waste and efficiency here at home, it might pay to look at an official report from Moscow that Marshal Stalin has secretly visited Russian shipyards in the Baltic to find out what's holding up his plan to build a powerful fleet of super-battleships. American observers report that Stalin was furious at the excuse his admirals have been giving for Russia's failure to turn out a single new battleship since 1929. Therefore, accompanied by 200 secret police, he personally inspected the naval installations. where three 50,000-ton battleships are under construction. The inefficiency and blunders he saw, especially at Gdynia, infuriated him even more, and Stalin has now ordered a complete purge of the Russian admirals responsible. Colonists Meet Redondo Sea Hawks In Beverly Hills Cage Tourney Friday At 12:30 tomorrow afternoon the tenth annual Beverly Hills basketball tournament will get underway with defending champion, Compton, favored to win the crown again and make it their third in the last five years. They won in 1948. Three teams get started at 12:30—Inglewood and Huntington Beach in the boy's gym; San Diego and Long Beach Poly in the YMCA gym and Long Beach Wilson and Alhambra in the Swim gym. The swim gym is considered the main gym. It is located at the corners of Spaulding and Moreno streets. Three games will take place in the 2 p.m. feature.

Get on Olympic blvd, and stay there, crossing Western, La Brea, La Clenega, Robertson and Beverly Drive streets. After crossing Beverly Drive continue on Olympic for nine more blocks until you reach the street called Spaulding. Beverly Hills high school is situated on Spaulding. Continue on Spaulding, after turning right off of Olympic, for one block to the intersection of Spaulding and Moreno Turn Saturday at 1:15 for the upper bracket and 2:30 for the lower bracket game, where Anaheim is competing. Finals will be held at 8:30 in the swim gym with the two losers of the semifinals playing at 7:15 for third place. There will be cups awarded to the top three teams in the tourney, a trophy to the outstanding player of the tourney and gold miniature basketballs to members of the teams entering the finals as well as to players making the all-tourney team. While Anaheim is now deep entrenched in fourth spot in the Sunset League race their opponent of the tourney, Redondo is flying high and fast in second spot in the Bay League behind leader Inglewood, who will be meeting Sunset loop leader, Huntington Beach in a real thriller of the tourney. The Oilers are undefeated this year, but so is Compton, but chances are they won't meet. The Sea Hawks have two lettermen on this year's squad—forward Charles Miller who stands 6'3" and Harlan Geach, center, who stands 6'3". Geach made the all-CIF third string in football at a tackle position where he weighed in at 203 pounds.

Phil D isn't expected to win, understand. An aristocrat of the trade, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney's Counterpoint, is the overwhelming choice. There are some other well behaved, well-bred 4-year-olds in the reckoning, too, such as the Brookfield farm's Intent, the King ranch's Black Douglas and Sam Mason's To Market. But rated close behind Counterpoint will be a dark chestnut animal which, considering his purchase price, must be regarded as something from the other side of the tracks. That's Phil D., which brought the peanut price of $1500 as a yearling in the 1949 Keeneland, Ky., auction sales. The buyer, and present proud owner, is W. C. Martin, a cattleman from Stratford, Tex., who has seen his choice pay himself out by more than $100,000. He has seen Phil D—named, if memory serves right, after his grandson—race 26 times, come in first 10 times, second five and six times third. And collect $119,190.

Lou Boudreau Spots Help for Sox Of Boston with Rookie Shortstop BOSTON (UP) — After working with 32 rookie prospects at the Sarasota, Fla., training camp for the past two weeks, manager Lou Boudreau says he has spotted "at least three and possibly six" who will help his Boston Red Sox in the indefinite future. "Most of the kids are 20 and under and we'll lose most them to the Armed Services," Boudreau explained: "But I'm sure of retaining Jim Piersall because he is married and has two children." Piersall, now 22, has been an outfielder during his four years in the Red Sox system, with the Scranton Eastern League, Birmingham Southern Association and Louisville American Association clubs. "I think Piersall has the makings of a great shortstop," Boudreau, one of the best in that position, insists. "He charges the ball well and has mastered most of the rudiments of his new position. But he may need a bit more experience with Louisville." “What I've been looking for,” Boudreau continued, “are rookies of the type that the Yankees come up with, the Mickey Mantles and the Gil MacDougalds. I didn't ex- pect much from any of our kids when we got started; two weeks ago. But some of them have shown me plenty and they still will be around when we start regular spring training on March 1.” Here for the annual Boston baseball writers dinner, Boudreau said he was not including slugger Ted Williams in his 1952 managerial plans.
