Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1932 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER I WILL VOTE for any man for president who can answer two questions: 1. How can you lower the price of meat? 2. How will the U.S. economy survive when we cut out armaments production? Several candidates are scrambling for the job as leaders of the two parties, and all are making speeches, but none yet has chosen to dwell on these two questions. At least one heavy favorite for the "out" party, in fact, has said absolutely nothing about anything and yet he bowls over all opponents at preferential primaries. The "outs" make long speeches, but all they add up to is that they will be able to do a better job than the outfit that is in. They can bring to the fore no proof of this. Past performances are no criterion. If the Democrats are in, we must attend Monday through Friday, at 259 East Center, Anaheim, California. Phone Anaheim 2206.

AT PRESENT we have only one living ex-president. Soon, we may have two. The job of president of these United States is supposed to be a man-killer.

Hit Songs Are Association, S HOLLYWOOD — "Somebody always saying, 'there are no like the old songs.' I don't this is necessarily true. Mu the appeal that is round old songs is contained in strong element or nostalgia. the new songs become our they will have a memory of their own. It's all a n of associations." Speaking was Ginny Simmons knows how to sing a good old or new, and sings both of her twelve-weekly appearances CBS Radio's "Jack Smith-Shore-Ginny Simms Show." Scene of our interview Ginny was the stage of the Theater on Hollywood Boulevard where her airshows emanated Ginny, in a gay sequined silk dress, was going over a duck "A Fine Romance" with hering partner Smith. Inside her on a chair we pursue life of a staddle which only a woman could pleasure in totling around.

The "outs" make long speeches, but all they add up to is that they will be able to do a better job than the outfit that is in. They can bring to the fore no proof of this. Past performances are so criterion. If the Democrats are in, we are liable to have war and prosperity. If the Republicans are in, we are liable to have peace and depression. This poses a severe choice for the voter: would you rather hit to death with a pocket full of money or starve to death with a pocket full of washers? SOON IF THEY haven't started already, campaign workers will be ringing your doorbell. Pay attention to them, and hear them out. You stand a chance of losing that doorbell, the door, and the house that goes with them. If the other party gets in, calls may cause you to lose the mortgage. If the other party gives in, calls off the wars, shuts down the high-powered defense industries, you miss your job, and the bank takes over. You move out on the back When you come right down to it, you are in a bit of a squeeze. AT PRESENT we have only one living ex-president. Soon, we may have two. The job of president of these United States is supposed to be a man-killer; if the man who holds the job worries and works as he should. We must then, conclude that the present living ex, and tax-ex-be fell short somewhere. The campaigners are talking a lot (with the exception of the aloof general) but they really aren't saying much. All they want is the power and the glory of the job. What the voter should do is elect not the man, but what he stands for, and so far it is pretty hard to find out what any of them stand for, although it is a fair guess that they all stand when a lady enters the room. If one of them would come out and answer my two questions, as stated at the top of this piece, I will vote for him whether he be a Democrat, a Republican, a Socialist, a Greenbacker, a Boondoggler, a Prohibitionist, a Mugwump, a Whig, a Tory, a Carpet-bagger of a Gandy Dancer. Meanwhile, I plan to take a trip to the South Seas to come back in 1954 and see which bank got my house. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO from the Files of Uuachein Gazette by Mrs. Henry Ruchiel 76 Years Ago March, 1871 On Wednesday night while the entire family were at the ball given by the Union club, the home of Mrs. Harvey and family was broken into and robbed. From a bur au drawer a $20 roll of silver was taken and from a trunk belonging to Mr. Thirtlewall, who was visiting the family, more than $300 in gold was taken. No articles of clothing were stolen, but every closet, drawer and trunk rectory, just published, is 301,020. 50 Years Ago March, 1872: Dr. Bickford has purchased the Warting property on Center street and will occupy it next week as a residence. Governor Whitaker was in from Buena Park one afternoon last week. He reports everything flourishing over his way. His section has been blessed with a bounty. WASHINGTON — "How to rich while working for the government" might well be the type of testimony given the K-12 tax-fraud subcommittee last week by Joe Nunan, ex-Commissioner Internal Revenue, the man who once collected the nation's taxes. Only trouble with Nunan's sensational testimony was that if was given behind closed doors, the public couldn't get the juicy benefit of the Nunan object lens in how to make money left working for the government. However, this column is abiding to give the public a detailed port of what happened. Here are the highlights: On Wednesday night while the entire family were at the ball given by the Union club, the home of Mrs. Harvey and family was broken into and robbed. From a bur au drawer a $20 roll of silver was taken and from a trunk belonging to Mr. Thistlewalt, who was visiting the family, more than $300 in gold was taken. No articles of clothing were stolen, but every closet, drawer and trunk in the house was ransacked, and the contents strewn in confusion about the floor. The board of supervisors have appointed the following Road Overcars: Jesse Davis, Westminster district No. 1; W. H. Jasper, Westminster No. 2; H. G. Rosenbaum, San Juan; Andrew Mills, Santa Ana; C.

The members of the brass band with a few friends took a trip to Santiago canyon Sunday. They provided themselves with a generous lunch and passed the day in the most pleasant manner. They were anxious to try their music in the open air before exhibiting in public, and the trial gave evidence to the fact that they need not fear to play at any time. We hope the experiment at the Santiago will give the members courage so that we may often bear the sound of their instruments upon the streets.

DANSON HOLLYWOOD — "Somebody it says saying, 'there are no songs the old songs.' I don't think is necessary true. Much of appeal that is round in the songs is contained in the element of nostalgia. When new songs become old ones, will have a memory value their own. It's all a matter associations." Breaking was Ginny Simms, who is how to sing a good song or new, and sings both during twice-weekly appearances on Radio's "Jack Smith-Dinan-Ginny Simms Show." None of our interview with her was the stage of the Ginny sitter on Hollywood Boulevard she airshows emanate, and in a gay sequined silk print was going over a duet of the Romance' with her singer-gartner Smith.

The Jayhawks won the NCAA title in a convincing fashion last night by downing St. John's of Brooklyn 80-88 in the championship finale of the 1952 playoffs. Lovellette, keeping up a terrific scoring pace with the championship chips down, led the way with 3a points.

The Kansas conquest came after Illinois won third ranking by downing Santa Clara 67-64 in the consolation game. Kansas had beaten Santa Clara and St. John's had upset Illinois in the semifinals. Kansas, which was rated eighth by the nation's sports writers in the 1952 Associated Press poll, never gave the Redmen of St. John's a chance in the payoff game. Lovellette put the Kansans in front with an opening free throw and they stayed there all the way. The Jayhawks set up an iron defense that kept the Redmen in check so they never were able to keep a sustained offensive clicking until the final period.

About the time we learn to make the most of life—the most of life is gone. Copyright, 1952, by Universal Radio and TV Feature Syndicate HINGTON — "How to get while working for the government" might well be the title testimony given the King and subcommittee last week. Nunan, ex-Commissioner final Revenue, the man who injected the nation's taxes. Trouble with Nunan's usual testimony was that given behind closed doors. Nobody couldn't get the full of the Nunan object less now to make money while for the government. This column is able to public a detailed re-written happened. Here are rights: litterly refused to answer when questions got too ticklish. While you were commissioner of Internal Revenue, you continued to have a private law practice, did you not?" demanded de Wind. "That is correct," acknowledged the suave New Yorker. De Wind then read from Nunan's tax returns showing that his law business brought in $13,300 in 1944, doubled to $27,000 in 1945, jumped to $57,363 in 1946 and finally hit $77,450 in 1947—the four years that Nunan served as Internal Revenue commissioner. Nunan's Own Tax Returns The House probers were also critical of the slipshod way Nunan made out his own tax returns while he was tax chief. Under sharp questioning from de Wind, Nunan admitted that he hadn't bothered to itemize his expenses. Lack of Depth Hurts Anaheim Swimming Team Four Anaheim Union High school records toppled yesterday as the Colonists dropped a 45-30 swim meet to Fullerton yesterday afternoon in the local pool. Al Clayes, in top form, swam the 50 yard free style to tie the school record of :25.4; then came back a short time later to set a brand new 100 yard free style at :59.4. Teammate Richard Wagner churned out a 2:19.2 for the 200 yard free style to set another record. Fourth record of the day came when Bob Kinoshito smashed the class Bee 100 breaststroke in front with an opening free throw and they stayed there all the way. The Jayhawks set up an iron defense that kept the Redmen in check so they never were able to keep a sustained offensive clicking until the final period. It was the only one in which the losers held a scoring edge. Meanwhile, Lovellette kept firing his deadly pushups and hook shots to run up a dozen field goals along with nine free throws. Guard Bill Lienhard and forward Bob Kenny added a dozen points each as they shared the sharpshooting role with Lovellette, and guard Gene Kelley was a sparkplug on the floor. The 6-foot 9-inch Lovellette ran his four-game NCAA playout scoring total of 141 points. He had broken the old record of 38 points in the first three games. It had been set by Don Sunderlage of Illinois last year. He also set a new free throw record of 35 for the four games. The old record of 27 also was held by Sunderlage. Another record that fell before the deadeye Kansans was the high score for an NCAA championship final. The 80 points topped the 71 tallied by City College of New York in beating Bradley for the title in 1950. OAKLAND TEAM IN GOOD SHAPE OAKLAND (N)—No Oakland Oaks have out Chapman, their only handed hitting catcher, Clarence Laws. Laws indicated he ing with the St. Louis N Cleveland Indians and help soon.

He couldn't get the full of the Nunan object lesson to make money willever for the government. Over this column is able to public a detailed re-what happened. Here are rights: Nunan's outside law fees and outside hitcom; increased $3,30 to $77,450 while he commissioner. This was 1914 to 1917. Nunan attended a party racketeer Frankie Costello the Copacabana night which Costello owns. Finally; it should be noted he lost the governorship turned up work the night club owners York, or which Costello threw a $3000 cocktail for Attorney General and Supreme Court sus-Clair. This was after the government, and one of the party was to his law clients to Medi Justice Clark. Star Prosecutor the closed hearing was Wind, the committee's counsel, who lumbered atentiously. The ex-taximine cool, however, po- business in excess of 20 was done by five Los Angeles last year. This was only by advertising. Admits the life of trade. Com-ty be a stimulant, but the life of trade. The House probers were also critical of the slipshod way Nunan made out his own tax returns while he was tax chief. Under sharp questioning from de Wind, Nunan admitted that he hadn't bothered to itemize his expenses, contributions and other deductions though the returns explicitly called for itemized lists. "Do you think that a commissioner of Internal Revenue ought to carry out his own instructions? needed Congressman Byrnes. "Yes, sir," meekly agreed Nunan. De Wind then explored Nunan's acquaintance with Racketeer Frankie Costello. "I have met him twice, yes, sir," admitted Nunan. On both occasions, he explained that they had met at a New York bar and had been introduced by mutual friends. You have never attended any party or dinner or other attain given by Mr. Costello?" fired de Wind. "Yes, I did." Nunan recalled. "I attended that dinner at the Copacabana that was supposed to be given for the Salvation Army: It was while you were commissioner?" pressed de Wind. "Yes, sir," acknowledged Nunan. "I was invited to this party by. I think, it was a man named Jim O'Connell." He identified O'Connell as an old friend in the construction business; also testified that no other federal officials had attended Costello's party. At Clayes, in top form, swam the 50 yard free style to tie the school record of 25.4; then came back a short time later to set a brand new 100 yard free style at 59.4. Teammate Richard Wagoner churched out a 2:19.2 for the 200 yard free style to set another record. Fourth record of the day came when Bob Kinoshito smashed the class Bee 100 breaststroke in 1:21.8. Bee and Cee Colonist tankmen were also turned back in the meet, going down 39-18 and 57-7. The meet loss, the third consecutive for the Colonists this season, is accredited to the lack of depth in the Anaheim squad. Strong on individual stars, as the falling records testify, Bill Huntstock's team simply is unable to round out a full, strong team, with the same four men carrying the load in most events.

Cage Doctors To Operate On Foul Rule SEATTLE (2) — Basketball's rules doctors will operate today on late-game stalling and cheap fouls—and in the opinion of most coaches who watched a trial run last night it should be major surgery. It seemed certain that the rules body—the national basketball committee of the United States and Canada—would come up with something along the line of last night's game. Here's Lowdown On Grapefruit League Society By GAYLE TALBOT PHOENIX, Ariz. (7)—Signs of spring in the great southwest: The Chicago Cubs have been slaughtering everything in sight and the pitching monsters of the Cleveland Indians haven't been able to win for losing. As usual, the exhibitions do not count in the final standings. LEO DUROCHER of the Giants says he doesn't know what's eating his old pal Charlie Dressen of the Dodgers. "I keep reading where he says we've been laughing at his club all winter. Hell, I haven't even mentioned the Dodgers all spring until right now. I know better than anyone does how lucky we were when Thomson hit that homer." ROY HAMEY, the Yankees' trouble-shooter, is out this way trying to put together a new scouting staff for the champs, who suffered a serious blow when their two famous talent hunters, Joe Devine and Bill Essick, died within a short time of each other. Between them, Devine and Essick were responsible for practically all the West Coast stars such as DiMaggio, Gomez, Crossett and many others who won fame with the Bombers over the past 20 years. Eddie Montague, the young Uphill Struggle Faces Santa Ana Track Outfit Coach John Ward's Santa Ana college tracksters, currently holding a precarious fifth place spot in Eastern conference standings, travel to Chaffey Thursday to meet the third place Panthers. Ward's team, with an unimpressive 2-1 record in over-all competition, has proven one of the weakest track teams in 15 years due to lack of depth. The Dons dropped before Riverside 69 5/6 to 62 1/6 and Fullerton 77 to 54 last week in their first two conference outings. The Chaffey meet will prove to be the acid test for the SAC spikemen; for if Ward's charges fail to get past Chaffey, they can hope for no better than fourth in the final standings. April 4 the Santa Ana squad will again take to the highway to meet the Mt. San Antonio Mounties. Originally the meet was scheduled for Santa Ana, but current rains forced workmen to halt their work on the new quarter mile oval at Santa Ana. The track should be ready by April 23 for the Orange Coast meet. Ward will be banking on his three double winners of the Riverside meet to carry the torch at Chaffey and Mt. Sac. They are Rel Schmitt in the 220 and broad jump, Duane Gustafson in the discuss and javelin, and Ron Dozier in the 120 high hurdles and the 220 lows. Other Don trackmen who will figure in Don scoring are Jack Wilcox in the 440 and 880, Del Broomell in the hurdles and high Basketballs rules doctors will operate on late-game stalling and cheap fouls—and in the opinion of most coaches who watched a trial run last night it should be major surgery. It seemed certain that the rules body—the national basketball committee of the United States and Canada—would come up with something along the line of last night's experiment in the Illinois Santa Clara consolation game at the NCAA championships, won by the Illini, 67-64. Briefly, here were the changes tried: 1. All foul shots had to be taken. Rules permit a fouled team to take the ball out of bounds and retain possession, instead of shooting. 2. A second shot was awarded when the first was missed on any foul, either defensive or offensive, up to the final three minutes. 3. In the final three minutes, every foul was considered intentional and worth two shots. The ball remained in play if the last foul shot was missed. It went to the opposing team if the toss was made. Howard Hobson, Yale coach, said: "It certainly didn't hurt the game and made it faster, with a better finish. There was the same ball hawking. In my opinion the trial was very successful." Harry A. Combes, Illinois coach called the changes "very fine." OAKLAND TEAM IN GOOD SHAPE OAKLAND (PA)—Now that the Oakland Oaks have outfielder Sam Chapman, their only need is a left-handed hitting catcher, says prexy Clarence Laws. Laws indicated he was dickering with the St. Louis Browns and Cleveland Indians and expects help soon. LOS ANGELES TEAM FACES SAN DIEGO ONTARIO (WI)—The Los Angeles Angels send pitchers Bill Molsan and Don Watkins against the San Diego Padres in a Coast league exhibition game today. COMMISSIONER Ford Frick passed through Denver on his way to the Coast and he brought word that the two-game series between the Giants and Indians in the Colorado capital next week is going to be something, indeed. Given a break in weather—anything short of a foot of snow—he declares the big leaguers will play to two capacity crowds of 18,000 and pay for a lot of training camp speaks. IT ISN'T FRICK'S business any more to blow the bugles for any one team or set of teams, and he conscientiously avoids the controversial topics. He does, however, go so far as to say he was more impressed by the Boston Braves than any team he saw in the Florida group. He retains an especially vivid memory of Ed Matthews, the big Braves rookie who accidentally crashed into him on the practice field. He says he still hurts all over every time he thinks about it. SOME ASTUTE observers do not feel that the Chicago White Sox are displaying quite the fire and hustle they did in training games a year ago. From what he's seen of them, Rogers Hornsby doesn't hesitate to say his St. Louis browns will finish higher than Paul Richards' speed boys. And speaking of speed, the Giants scoff out loud at a recently printed suggestion that the Sox are the fastest club in baseball three double winners of the Riverside meet to carry the torch at Chaffey and Mt. Sac. They are Rel Schmitt in the 220 and broad jump, Duane Gustafson in the discuss and javelin, and Ron Dozier in the 120 high hurdles and the 220 lows. Other Don trackmen who will figure in Don scoring are Jack Wilcox in the 440 and 880, Del Broomell in the hurdles and high jump, Jack Lucas in the 880, Al Fowler in the sprints, and Don Stroud and Dick Igout in the pole vault. Anaheim Netters Drop Close One Anaheim high school tennis team yesterday dropped its second consecutive non-league match, this time to Long Beach Jordan netters 5 to 4 on the Anaheim courts. Previously, Anaheim had been defeated by Whittier. The matches which tipped the balance in favor of Jordan were all nip and tuck affairs and a few points one way or the other were the deciding factor. Bill Cook's netmen previously had defeated the same squad 6 to 3. Anaheim's JV tennis players took two matches from the Jordans. Individual matches: D. Hessel (A) defeated Elsworth, 6-1, 6-3; Haster (A) defeated Retting, 6-1, 6-2; Billow (A) defeated Collier, 6-4, 6-1; St. John (J) defeated H. Hessel, 6-1, 1-6, 8-6; Stokes (A) defeated Smith, 12-10, 8-10, 6-3; Ornstein and Hay (J) defeated Legg and Wright, 6-1, 6-4; Weeks and Walker (J) defeated Baker and Hanson, 8-10, 6-2, 6-1. JV scores: Simpson (A) defeated Troy, 6-1, 6-3; Picard (A) defeated Story, 6-3, 6-1.
