Local communism... We were glad to note that Jack Miller returned to Anaheim the other evening to discuss communism with a local audience. (Mr. Miller, who for a long period was the chief anti-communism spokesman in Orange county, recently was promoted by the Associated Farmers of California to a position which made it necessary for him to limit his time in this area.) Anyway, we have always maintained that Mr. Miller was one of the few exponents of democracy who attacked communism where it hurts most. His idea is to tell people all about it. The sordidness of the "criminal conspiracy" of communism—when it is thoroughly and openly discussed and understood by large numbers of Americans—is communism's greatest foe, Mr. Miller reasons. We think the comparative absence of a serious communist afternoon, Monday through Friday, at 250 East Center, California. Phone Anaheim 2206.

MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Local communism... is unemotionally discussed and that people understand its awful history, its cruel and deceltful techniques, and its backward, criminal, and tyrannical aspirations. All well and good, you say; but what can we do about it. "We" being Mr. and Mrs. Average American. Here's a starter: Mr. Miller advises his audiences to be on the alert for any subversive activity. He says that letters to Senators and Representatives in Washington and to state legislators asking them to be tough on communists will not go unheeded. And, we can interest local organizations — parent-teacher groups, clubs, church groups, forums, etc.—in free and open expression on communism. An answer to communism is a willingness on the part of Americans to discuss communism to WASHINGTON — President Truman is holding his postcards so close to his chest that even his closest associates at White House know his plans. Even Charley Murphy, natured White House assistant confessed to a friend the day: "I don't know any more than the man in the moon whether Truman is going to run." Actually, the president seems enjoy playing a game with his staff and visitors. At one moment, Mr. Truman will put a long face and describe in great detail the trials of being president. A frequent remark is: "Two to kill any man." The next minute, the president will casually comment how he looking forward to a grass-n-campaign in the fall, and watch his guest's startled reaction. This on-again-off-again keep-'em-guessing game partly behind his final decision to leave his name in the New Hampshire primary. The other reason was the pleas of Democratic leaders in New Hampshire that they would lose their places on state and national committees he did not leave his name in. Best guess of Mr. Truman's timates is that he is carefully listening the groundwork for a "Dr Trump" campaign after boomlets for all the other candidates have run their course. Army Waste. Here is another painful example of how the army wastes taxpayers' money — the story Commerce International, which got a $3,400,000 contract from the Rock Island arsenal. Strength in motion... Not long ago, Dr. Elmer S. Nelson, a consultant (from Los Angeles) on economic trends, explained to the local Rotary club what is taking place in the Los Angeles area in the matter of population and business. The major urban trends of the period from 1940 to 1952, he said, are the growth of areas where war and defense contracts were concentrated, and the long term development of the southwest and west. During and since World War II everyone in this area has noted that in population and wealth the Los Angeles area has made gains which are nothing short of spectacular; and other cities of the West Coast have grown substantially. Of course, it means that our industrial life — indeed, our whole national life—is continually altering, continually building. We do not and cannot stagnate. In all this motion, of things and people, there is strength. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Plates of Anaheim Guests By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 50 Years Ago February, 1962 Photographer Howard has presented us with a photograph of part of the city taken from the tower of the Del Campo. The picture is one of artistic merit, as good as could be done by any Los Angeles artist. Mr. Howard reports an increasing business, and sees no reason why a first class photographer may not enjoy a lucrative trade hereabouts. Marshal Steadman discovered the loss of his revolver after the 25 Years Ago February, 1927 P. A. Backs attended a meeting of Southern California Building and Loan Association at Los Angeles Saturday. The meeting was held at the Windsor Tea Room. Mr. Backs represented the Anaheim Savings, Loan and Building Association. Orange county according to the annual report of the state division of Motor Vehicles stood eighth in the registration of cars during the year 1928 among all the counties to Senators and Representatives in Washington and to state legislators asking them to be tough on communists will not go unheeded. And, we can interest local organizations — parent-teacher groups, clubs, church groups, forums, etc.—in free and open expression on communism. An answer to communism is a willingness on the part of Americans to discuss communism, to learn about it, to recognize it, and to fight it when it intrudes on our rights as free citizens. Indeed, freedom is everyone's job. The company was formed by young ex-Air Force lieutenant, G. Foulis. Once he had talked himself into the contract, Foulis rounded up welders and technicians and went to work. However, lack of technical skill bogged him down and resulted in costly delays. Luckily for Foulis, however the army failed to deliver certain parts on schedule, so he had the consummate nerve to turn around and blame the army for the delay. On top of this, believe it or not he demanded $817,000,000 in damages. The army refused to pay. Nevertheless, Foulis' counterclaim had the desired effect. He got off the hook for defaulting on his contract. But here is the real joker. Inspector General Said No This column is able to reveal that Foulis was awarded the $3,400,000 contract by the army against the advice of the army' inspector general. The Inspector general had checked Commerce International found it was involved in some juicy deals of war surplus to Nationalist Ching. One deal that didn't go through was for 25 P-51s, which Commerce International was trying to sell to China at double the normal cost. The contract was cancelled when the Chinese found that it was too expensive. tower of the Del Campo. The picture is one of artistic merit, as good as could be done by any Los Angeles artist. Mr. Howard reports an increasing business, and sees no reason why a first class photographer may not enjoy a lucrative trade hereabouts. Marshal Steadman discovered the loss of his revolver after the meeting of water stockholders at the city hall on Saturday. The weapon reposed in the drawer of his desk in his office, which was open during the day. He will make investigation and discover, if possible, who made away with it. Mrs. J. C. Roller returned home Saturday, after an absence of seven months in the east. Mrs. Roller was taken seriously ill several weeks ago on her homeward journey and had to be taken off the train at Los Angeles, where she remained until able to return to her home in Centralia. Her many friends will be glad to learn of her recovery. J. J. Hunter drove through town a day or two ago, accompanied by his daughter, and stopped at this office to procure a package of garden seeds.

Mr. Backs represented the Anaheim Savings Loan and Building Association. Orange county according to the annual report of the state division of Motor Vehicles stood eighth in the registration of cars during the year 1926 among all the counties in the state. Los Angeles was first with a total of 566,138, San Francisco second with 106,456, Alameda with 103,026, San Diego 51,-026, Fresno 45,534, Santa Clar 38,-141, Sacramento 33,867 and Orange 33,857. Ben Rimpau of Hollywood came down the first of the week to visit his relatives and old friends in this city for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Halpin of Los Angeles were in Anaheim on Sunday visiting old friends and neighbors. Twenty-four members of the honor society of the local high school chaperoned by Mrs. Fay Kern Schulz, Honor Scoley advisor and Mr. Hedstrom, chemistry teacher, left the high school at 12:30 Wednesday on a pleasure trip to Los Angeles, to see the picture "Beau Gestil," now showing at the Forum. After the matinee, the young people had supper up-town and took in some of the sights of the metropolis, among others the new city library. They returned home in the evening, after a very enjoyable outing. About 700 walnut growers of inspector general. The inspector general had checked Commerce International found it was involved in some juicy deals of war surplus to Nationalist China. One deal that didn't go through was for 25 P-51s, which Commerce International was trying to sell to China at double the normal cost. The contract was canceled when the Chinese found the planes to be little better than junk. Commerce International was also involved in smuggling airplane parts to Formosa. But when the army confronted Fasoulis with this record, he blandly claimed it was communist propaganda, argued he had gone into the business of supplying Nationalist China not for profit but for patriotic reasons. He even made the amazing statement that he had supplied Chiang Kal-shek with $12,600,000 worth of military equipment for less than $2,000,000. He failed to explain how he could afford to take the difference between $12,-600,000 and $2,000,000 as a loss. Despite this record, the army ignored the inspector general and gave Fasoulis its tank-reconditioning contract — only later to have him fall flat. Southern California will attend the ninth annual Walnut Growers' Institute, to be held this year at Tustin on March 5. This was decided during the recent meeting at Whittier. Orange county was represented by J. A. Smiley, chairman of the farm bureau walnut department. A. J. McFadden, Irvine; W. S. Stanley, Tustin and H. E. Walberg, farm advisor. WASHINGTON — President man is holding his political ads so close to his chest that not in his closest associates at the White House know his plans. Even Charley Murphy, goodsured White House assistant, fessed to a friend the other "I don't know any more than man in the moon whether Mr. man is going to run." Actually, the president seems to play a game with both staff and visitors. At one mot, Mr. Truman will put on a face and describe in great dethe trials of being president. Frequent remark is: "Two terms kill any man." The next minute, the president casually comment how he is going forward to a grass-roots pay in the fall, and slyly his guest's startled reaccasion. This on-again-off-again, 'em-guessing game was behind his final decision to his name in the New Hampprimary. The other reason the pleas of Democratic leadin New Hampshire that they lose their places on the and national committees if not leave his name in.

Wilbur Peeble, the average American citizen, gives the answer in a letter to his wife about his one-man investigation of the government: Dear Trellis Mae, Well, Honey, I found out how you get to be a big shot here. Getting elected or appointed to an important job is just the first step. The real art is to hold the job. And to do that you got to have ghosts and Indians. As I get it, a ghost is a fellow you get to write all the speeches and public papers you would write yourself if you only had the time. But naturally you are too busy shaking hands and making friends. An Indian is an information expert. He is the fellow who knows all the things about your job you would learn yourself if you just had time. Let's say, for example, you are appointed secretary of the exterior. Three days later Rep. Headstrong decides to investigate you because: 1. Your wife snubbed his wife, or — 2. You forgot to invite him to a cocktail party, or — 3. Nobody else is investigating your department that week, or — 4. He's up for re-election, and he has to get his name in the papers some way. Well, the house votes him $75,000 for the investigation, and Rep. Headstrong hires some ghosts to write speeches denouncing you and rents some Indians to dig up dirt about the job you're doing. TV-RADIOLOGIC Cinderella Story Reaches Climax Tonight on Show By TOM E. DANSON HOLLWOOD — When Owen Patrick Eugene Denis McNulty (Dennis Day) makes his debut on NBC's coast-to-coast television network tonight, a modern-day Cinderella story will reach its climax. The story began only 10 days ago when Dennis started searching for a girl to fill a lead-role as his girl friend on new show. This Tversion of his features situation comes and of course, his regular line-dialects, which now number one masterfully handled. Unable to decide on any the top feminine singers he acquainted with, Dennis M auditions at NBC all last week. Scores of vocalists, glam girls and actresses tried out the role. Several "name" vocalists even went so far as to express recordings from New York and the choice narrowed four girls who were called back for further study before the TV cameras. These were asked to sing, "Getting To Know You" (Dinah Shore is the gal for this number), the number to be used on this first program. Twenty-two year old Kathy Phillips won the part. This, despite the fact that she had never appeared on television, radio or motion pictures. In fact, about only experience she could cite was a few roles with her high school drama group in San Francisco and some quickie appearances such affairs as the annual U.Sigma Chi dance, since coming Flickerville. The consensus around Stud E, where the auditions were held, is that Kathy has walked into a role which hundreds of girls spend years on movie jobs and network corridors, hoping and praying for. But when she goes before th Inspector general had Commerce International, it was involved in some trials of war surplus to N.A. China. Real that didn't go through 25 P-51s, which Comternational was trying toChina at double the normal contract was cancelled in Chinese found the planes little better than junk. Service International was involved in smuggling airships to Formosa. But the army confronted Fastion this record, he blandly said was communist propagruged he had gone intocess of supplying Nationa not for profit but for reasons. Then made the amazing that he had supplied real-shek with $12,600,000 military equipment for $2,000,000. He failed to know he could afford to difference between $12,- and $2,000,000 as a loss. In this record, the army inspector general and douls its tank-reconditract — only later to fall flat. California will attend annual Walnut Growers' to be held this year at March 5.

Nobody else is investigating your department that week, or — 4. He's up for re-election, and he has to get his name in the papers some way. Well, the house votes him $75,000 for the investigation, and Rep. Headstrong hires some ghosts to write speeches denouceing you and rents some Indians to dig up dirt about the job you're doing. When you get into the committee hearing, he says: "Let's get down to the real issue. Just why is the department of the exterior doing nothing in the matter of exports and imports of brooms to and from Czechoslovakia? Answer — yes or no?" Well, if you don't have your own battery of ghosts and Indians ready — you are a gone secretary of the exterior. But if you've got your Indian handy, he whispers the right answer to you, and you say: "So long as I am secretary no red-tainted foreign brooms will be admitted to these shores, and none of our fine clean American-made brooms will be sent to politically polluted areas. Besides we need 'em all to sweep out our own defense plants." At this the spectators break into applause. After a month or two — during which you have collected $10,000 from speeches and magazine articles written by your ghosts — the investigation collapses. But it has been a big success all around. You have made a name as a patriotic public servant, and Rep. Headstrong has decided to run for the senate on his record as a fighter for clean government. The ghosts and Indians? They've tell a dangling participle from a hangnail. That made me mad, Trellis Mae. "Well, I always thought Thomas Jefferson did a pretty fair job of writing the Declaration of Independence," I said. "And how about that little speech Abraham Lincoln scribbed down on an envelope all by himself on the way to Gettysburg?" Well, he said, he would admit that either of them might have made a pretty fair ghost, and added: "It is too bad Lincoln didn't have a new electric typewriter at Gettysburg. No telling what he might have written then!" I'm beginning to think, Trellis Mae, that I'll never really understand Washington. Your loving husband, Wilbur.
