MEODORE B KUCHEL MAS. BESLER LEONARD KREIDT STANLEY JONES NEIL STANLEY S. E. WELLEN RALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Democrats than Republicans in California. How come the GOP has to hustle more signatures? A—The number is based on the vote for governor at the last election. Republican Earl Warren beat Democrat Jimmy Roosevelt by a million votes, remember? Q—Do all states elect their delegates? A—No; 32 of the 48 states still use the state convention system. California adopted the direct preferential or open primary in the 1900s with the idea of letting the voters, instead of political bosses, choose the delegates. Q—Does the California delegation have to support the candidate to which it is instructed? A—Morally, yes. The law is pretty broad. Here's the delegates' pledge: "I personally prefer——as nominees of my political party for president of Washington." Rotating "classes" pilots have been made by MIG's over Korea and American combat firsthand. The program showed up in Korea now about ready to fly against America. Let's vote... The registration books were closed to Anaheim voters today who are not now registered and who want to vote at the City election, April 8. But, there are other important elections coming along for which Anaheimers should be prepared. It's still a long way off to the June 3 preferential primary but Californians new and old may want to brush up on the state's election procedure. Q—Is it too late to register for the primary? A—No, you have until April 10—but why not do it today? Q—Who is eligible to vote? A—Citizens over 21 who have lived in California one year, in their county 90 days and in their election produce 45 days. Q—Suppose I've established residence in the state but move to a new address—do I lose my vote? A—No. This is the first presidential primary in which you...

Note—In contrast, we our crack pilots to K 10—but why not do it today? Q—Who is eligible to vote? A—Citizens over 21 who have lived in California one year, in their county 90 days and in their election preset 65 days. Q—Suppose I've established residence in the state but move to a new address—do I lose my vote? A—No. This is the first presidential primary in which you won't be deprived of your vote no matter where you move within the state. If you move within the county 54 days or within the state 90 days before election, you can vote at your old precinct. Q—What can I do about it if I can't get to my old precinct? A—You can write the county clerk or registrar for an absentee ballot. Q—When do I apply for an absentee ballot? A—The deadline is May 28. If you're in the Armed Forces, there's a form card that's simple to fill out and free to mail. Q—Do I vote for a presidential candidate at the primary? A—Not exactly. You have the choice of delegations pledged to support a particular candidate at the party's national convention in Chicago. Q—Can anyone run as a delegate? A—a state of delegates can be placed on the ballot only by endorsement of the candidate or by a campaign committee with his blessings. To qualify, a Republican delegation requires 12,300 signatures and 6000 for a Democratic. Q—There are more registered IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Amelia Gassett By Mrs. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago February 1877 As will be seen by the call publication of said bricks and take steps to have them removed. A communication from R. Bohrs was referred to the finance committee. Q—Does the California delegation have to support the candidate to which it is instructed? A—Morally, yes. The law is pretty broad. Here's the delegates' pledge: "I personally prefer——as nominee of my political party for president of the United States and hereby declare to the voters of my party... that if elected as delegate to their national party convention I shall, to the best of my judgment and ability, support——as nominee." Q—Can the candidate release the delegates to vote for anyone else at the convention? A—Yes. In fact, Rep. Thomas Werdel (R-Calif), nominal presidential candidate of a Republican faction opposed to a Warren state, already has said he will release his delegates if he wins the nomination in the primary. Q—What are the filing dates for candidates in California? A—March 5 to March 29. Q—What other offices will be up for nomination in June? A—One neat in the U.S. Senate, good for six years; 30 in the House of Representatives (two years each); 50 in the state Assembly (two years each) and the 20 odd-numbered districts of the 60 places in the state Senate (four years each). Q—Who will be the next president? A—There is nothing in the election code which requires anyone to climb out on a limb. Thank you. Mrs. Gustave Heimann Angeles visited with town some days ago. Mr. Chynowith was from Los Angeles just IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anselm Gassett By Miss. HENRY MUCHEL 75 Years Ago February 1877 As will be seen by the call published in another column, a meeting of the Fire Company is called for Wednesday evening at the Planters Hotel. It is to be hoped that the attendance will be sufficiently large to warrant taking immediate steps toward forming an organization on a solid basis—not a dress parade company, but one that will submit to discipline and training, so that when their services are required they will be able to respond promptly and with effect. The meeting of the Town Trustees was held Monday. The ordinances were re-read and adopted. They will be effective from the date of February 10—1877. The committee on Public improvements was instructed to prepare for consideration at the next meeting, an ordinance regulating the construction of wooden buildings inside of certain limits, also to take charge of and fix up the fire-alarm bell over the bank building, provided that the fire apparatus be turned over to the town. The communication of W. Pennett, complaining of a certain pile of bricks on his land between 1st South and Palm streets was received and the clerk was ordered to ascertain the own- ership of said bricks and take steps to have them removed. A communication from R. Bohrs was referred to the finance committee. The meeting then adjourned to meet on Friday next at 2 o'clock p.m. The shipments from the depot this morning were as follows: 14 boxes oranges, 5 bbls potatoes, 8 boxes oranges, 14 dressed sheep, 1 box egg, 2 boxes butter, 1 bbl brandy, 19 bales leaf tobacco. 50 Years Ago February, 1902 W. R. Harker is out again after being laid up two weeks with a sprained ankle, which injury he sustained while walking in the back yard of his residence. He caught his right foot in the planking and was thrown down, which injured the ankle so that he had to be carried into the house. He remained in bed a fortnight. Mrs. Felice Harrison of Brookhurst has gone to Yuma to pay a visit to her friend, Mrs. Godfrey, who recently was her guest here. Miss Schilling of Chicago is visiting the Misses Hansen on Orangethorpe avenue. She will remain for an extended visit. Mrs. Gustave Helms Angeles visited with town some days ago. Mr. Chynowith was from Los Angeles last time. S. O. Walker of Buxton transacted business in the or two ago. Pete Richards will San Luis Obispo in a free reside permanently. 25 Years Ago February, 1927 Regular meeting of club will be held Monday at the Angeline hotel den. Ethel Elliott Swan, reader and Mr. Percy Cobbist will give the program social hour at the close program. Mrs. Ernst Borchert en on Thursday last at a lightful luncheon and seated at her home west of ladies went prepared with and thimbles and sewed a rug. Mrs. Zeppent felt the first prize and Mrs. the booby. Mrs. Karlen, Mrs. Leo Sheridan, who is here from the east, was pa with the guest's prize, a basket of fruit. WASHINGTON—It isn't pleasant to contemplate, but the inescapable fact is that Russia is not only outproducing us in planes, but is building up a reservoir of battle-tested pilots to fly them. The blunt fact is that the Kremlin is using Korea as a graduate school to train Russian pilots how to fly against American planes. Rotating "classes" of Russian pilots have been manning the MIG's over Korea and learning American combat techniques firsthand. The present class showed up in Korea on Nov. 1, is now about ready to graduate. Each class takes the same prescribed course. The first month is spent making navigational flights across Korea. The second month is spent observing American formations at a safe distance. During this period, the MIG's will occasionally make a pass at a bomber formation, but it is all in practice. They never fire a shot. The MIG's also take care to keep out of the way of Air Force F-86 Sabre jets during their breaking-in period. By the third month, however, the Soviet student-pilots begin to tangle with American fighters — preferably with slower F-80 Shooting Stars and F-84 Thunderjects. As the Russians gain experience, they mix it up with our crack F-86 squads. The result is that the green Russians are shot out of the skies at the rate of 13 to our one. But the survivors become tough, skillful pilots, baptized by fire and able to hold their own against our best. Note—In contrast, we send only our crack pilots to Korea, give our Thunderfects.

But the survivors become tough, skillful pilots, baptized by fire and able to hold their own against our best. Note—In contrast, we send only our crack pilots to Korea, give our new pilots no battle training. Reason is that we are so short of F-80's that we cannot risk letting greenhorns fly them in combat. "Messages to Moscow" A lot of schools all over the country are taking advantage of the arrangement whereby the school children of America can broadcast via the Voice of America to school children behind the Iron Curtain. Many newspapers are also cooperating. In Charleston, W. Va., the Gazette is running a four-week contest among high-school children for the best "message to Moscow." The winner of each week's contest will be announced weekly, and at the end of the month the final winner will be given a trip to New York to visit the United Nations and broadcast personally over the Voice of America. The Los Angeles News and the Wichita Eagle are cooperating with California and Kansas schools in running similar contests. The messages should not be over 150 words, should tell about conditions in American schools, and how the youngsters of this country want peace and resent the artificial barrier to friendship imposed by the Kremlin. Since the youngsters of today will have to carry out the American foreign policy tomorrow, this is an opportunity for them to help mould that foreign policy now. Mrs. Gustave Heiman of Los Angeles visited with friends in town some days ago. Mr. Chynowith was in town from Los Angeles last week. Hai Boyle TAMPA, Fl. (F)—The American fighting man in Korea is the nation's valentine today. But he is pretty much taken for granted. And the war he is engaged in is less on the lips of his countrymen than the subject of national politics. Traveling about the country now you cannot help being struck about how much talk there is about the coming election, and how little there is about the conflict in Korea. The weary months of truce negotiations, the long and intricate quibbling over terms for a ceasefire, have more and more eased the Korean stalemate into the background of the national consciousness. It is truly becoming a "forgotten war." At least for the time being. Many people bring up the subject only as a springboard for a verbal blast about "what's wrong with Washington." The fresh question of "who do you really think will be in the White House for the next four years?" simply holds more national interest than the seemingly changeless situation in the faraway rice paddies and hills of Korea. That wry fact must give the American men stationed there a blue feeling. An officer's wife who recently returned with her husband from a tour of duty in the Far East said: "The war seemed very close and real when we were stationed in Japan. We kept busy working in the hospital where they brought the wounded from Korea. "When I first came home I was mad at the lack of interest -Colony QuizBy the Gazette Farm Editor AS THIS COLYUM has often reported, the Florida people seem much more adroit and resourceful when faced with tough situation. Notice, if you will, the tremendous impact Florida citrus crop which has doubled since 1942. The Crop during the same period has become smaller. The California industry has been operated like a feudal domains. Each shipper has attempted to build around his flock of growers, the main idea being to keep from the propaganda of another marketing group. The per has also been the largest purveyor of that stuff that gloat over. Florida, on the other hand, got enough fendin' years back and changed from the feudal system to agreement among the growers. In the formation of new agency, Florida Mutual, there were many compromises with segments of the industry not in producing a compromises tended to extract the "teeth" out of which Mutual could take to protect the grower if tough. Things got tough this year. Mutual found so weak spots. We predict that they will be corrected and Florida grower will, within the next month, be "back-die again." There were many contributing factors to this yr trouble." They had another record-breaking crop. The warm or as they term it "tourist weather" all winter and the early and mid-season fruit to mature quickly and market trouble Florida had was because fruit offered so far "past its prime" that, as one reporter put it, yeah, the condition of the fruit a block away—unless you had cold and your nose was stopped up. ANOTHER IMPORTANT factor was the big deal by Crop and the Florida Citrus Exchange, which is a co-taker own Sunkist and Pure Gold outfits, but which does any control like the Sunkist group does here in California wanted to sell its plant to FCE and take over the sale of these plants, with the Snow Crop label on them, without put up money, in advance, for the fruit. In other words would get the products on consignment and the grower paid, if and when, there was any money left over. The consignment deal we have in California with the Sunkist cash buyer here seems almost a thing of the past but true in Florida. Most of those big processors have money their canned concentrate and so do not like to cut any grapes. At any rate this deal has been in the mill since late last year and was only finally turned down a few days ago. Mrs. Gustave Helman of Los Angeles visited with friends in town some days ago. Mr. Chynowith was in town from Los Angeles last week. S. O. Walker of Buena Park transacted business in town a day or two ago. Pete Richards will leave for San Luis Obispo in a few days to reside permanently. 25 Years Ago February, 1927 Regular meeting of the Ebell club will be held Monday, Feb. 7, at the Angeline hotel Roof Garden. Ethel Elliott Swan, dramatic reader and Mr. Percy Olds, soloist will give the program. Tea and social hour at the close of the program. Mrs. Ernst Borchert entertained on Thursday last at a very delightful luncheon and sewing bee at his home west of town. The ladies went prepared with scissors and thimbles and sewed rags for a rug. Mrs. Zeppenfelt received the first prize and Mrs. Singleton the booby. Mrs. Karlen, sister of Mrs. Leo Sheridan, who is visiting here from the east, was presented with the guest's prize, a beautiful basket of fruit. An officer's wife who recently returned with her husband from a tour of duty in the Far East said: "The war seemed very close and real when we were stationed in Japan. We kept busy working in the hospital where they brought the wounded from Korea. "When I first came home I was mad at the lack of interest shown here in the war. But now the days go by, and I don't even read about it myself. Isn't that a shameful thing to have to admit? It is a terrible thing, but a very normal human reaction. The farther away a war is, the longer it drags on, the less you think about it unless you have someone dear to you involved in it. Among those who do discuss the war there is a growing bewildered anger. There is a kind of vague clamor for more drastic action. "I think it's time for us to quit being Russia's puppet," said a manufacturer. "Why don't we march into Manchuria and end it?" This bold attitude is fairly popular among civilian armchair generals, frustrated by the twilight nature of the Korean action. The American people are still used to old-fashioned wars that had a beginning, a middle and an end—wars waged mightily and won as quickly as possible. They have no appetite for the Asiatic type of warfare, in which time is of no great concern, and battles flare up and die inconclusively away. But this is what we have in Korea, and to fight a series of these nibbling, puzzling wars may be our fate for a generation in our slow grapple to halt the probing thrusts of communism in arms. Why not march into Manchuia? Many infantry leaders feel it would only mire us more deeply in a rutted Oriental landscape, where we might suffer millions of more casualties without achieving a final military decision. They fear this would only widen the area of stalemate and spread our resources more thinly, opening a wound we couldn't close without a tremendous third World War. The American soldier will have a lonely time this Valentine's day, holding a nameless hill in a half-forgotten war the folks back home don't even like to talk about much any more.

OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAYED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER (This is the third of a series of three articles describing a flying trip to Illinois.) SHOULD THE GOOD life on these gentle Pacific slopes begin to pall for you and should you begin to toy with the idea of straying elsewhere, a trip back to the mid-west at this time of year will get you back to normal in big time. My friend, you never had it so good. The contrast between the way of living in Southern California and that of the harsh climatic zones must be seen to be believed. The transplanted midwesterner or easterner who has lived here several years remembers the sleets and the snows and the other privations of the back-east winters, but after a time the tendency is to forget. To be whisked by plane from the beneficent sunshine of this happy land to the bleak and wind-swept mid-continent in a matter of eight or nine hours is a revelation and an education. For back there they are gripped by the dead hand of winter, and the land is melancholy. Winter tempests rattle the gaunt skeletons of trees and there is no streaming sunlight at dawn to warm the bones of the cattle standing stiff-legged in the wet and muddy fields. In the cities heavy-laden coal trucks rumble over streets pocked with pot holes caused by the sharp freezes; the masonry and the marble and granite of the buildings and skyscrapers, long ago fresh and white, are black and ugly under a scaly coat of soot and grime. Windows are greasy and dirty. An overcast of smoke and instinctively cast apprehensive eyes heavenward as if wondering what cruel buffet is coming next. Even the automobiles show the effects of the rigors of King Winter, 1951 model autos already look aged. Frozen mud cakes their rims, their engines labor noisily, and come spring will also come the necessity for expensive overhauls. A drive through the country-side offers little cheer to the visitor from the Sunshine State. The country roads bisect field after field of bent and broken corn stalks, beaten down by the winds and the rains and the snows and trampled by foraging livestock. Somehow they convey the idea of armies of fallen soldiers. The rural villages display an almost painful similarity: church, school, store, grain elevator, filling station, and the homes, the old, old homes, and the corn fields and meadows falling away on either side to the grey horizon. The grotesque, box-like two-and three-story farm homes, inevitably painted white, offer startling contrast to the easy grace of the low California ranch-type home, and the awkward barns, rickety corn cribs and unpainted outbuildings, always in need of repair; make one look in vain for the varigated pastel TV-RAIDIOLOGIC Huge Space Ship Unveiled Tomorrow; Public Invited By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Buzz Corry, commander-in-chief of the "Space Patrol," and all of his assistants, including Happy, Major Robertson, Tonga and Carol, will come to earth tomorrow and land at 3 p.m. on the parking lot at A.B.C. Television Center, corner of Prospect and Talmadge, in Hollywood. The purpose of their visit is to display their brand new flagship, Terra IV, a gleaming 35-foot rocket ship from the outer world, which will be unveiled on earth in an official ceremony immediately following its landing (don't let me kid you, it's already there). I had the opportunity of getting a preview look at the rocket ship which is built of steel, with complete intercommunication system, steering and propulsion instruments. Built at a cost of $30,000, the ship will leave here for a complete tour of the nation to thrill kids everywhere. The public is cordially invited to inspect the interior of the 30th Century wonder and operate the numerous levers it has. DOWN TV-RADIO ROW ...
