The scalding kettle ... So long as President Truman, as head of the party, remained a possible candidate uncertainty about his intentions kept most would-be Democratic candidates mum. Not all of them, of course, Senators Kefauver and Kerr have been beating the bushes. And Senator Russell of Georgia announced his candidacy although, in his usual quiet way, he hasn't said much yet. But the otherwise forced quietude among the Democrats enabled them to enjoy, if only for a short while, the spectacle of the Republicans being split into factions on views and candidates. It is still too early to see how deep and irreparable the split among the Republicans is or how published afternoons, Monday through Friday, at 259 East Center, Anaheim, California.

The division between the South and Truman was so deep that if he had been nominated he might have lost the South and thus the election in this year when the Democratic politicians know they have a tough row to hoe. THIS REALIZATION may have been one of the main reasons, if not the principal one, which induced Truman not to seek another term. But his withdrawal is no guarantee that the division won't remain. Sunday, within less than 24 hours after Truman announced his retirement, the governing board of Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) served notice on the Democratic party it must not abandon its civil rights pro- WASHINGTON — The job of White House Secretary Matt Connelly is solely to arrange presidential appointments. He has to decide who should not see the president, who should see him and for how long. His duties end there. The president has cabinet members to decide such policy matters as foreign affairs and the question of peace or war. These have never come under the jurisdiction of a White House appointment secretary in any other period of American history. All this was why the Joint Chiefs of Staff rubbed their eyes with amazement when Matt Connelly injected politics into the question of a truce in Korea. Connelly's advice came in the form of a handwritten note which read: "I wish to God this thing wouldn't drag out until November in the interest of the party." He signed the note simply "Matt" and attached it to a sheet of secret papers sent from the White House to the Pentagon. This is the first time anyone has pinned a frank political label on the Korean peace talks in writing—though hints of politics came when Democratic Chairman Frank McKinney indicated that if peace came in Korea, the President would not run. Following this statement, Secretary of State Acheson phoned the president at Key West and expressed concern that McKinney... But the otherwise forced quietude among the Democrats enabled them to enjoy, if only for a short while, the spectacle of the Republicans being split into factions on views and candidates. It is still too early to see how deep and irreparable the split among the Republicans is or how much damage it will do their hopes of winning the election in November. In some cases, particularly among the candidates themselves, the split would seem irreparable. For instance, between Taft and Stassen. It is difficult to see how Stassen, who has said Taft in the White House would be an American tragedy, could ever campaign for the Ohioan if Taft gets the party nomination. But President Truman's decision not to run again has dumped his Democratic party into the same scalding pot which has made the Republicans' faces red; a wide-open scramble with plenty of time and room for party splits and bitterness. Southern Democrats have stood firm against Truman because of his civil rights program and would have remained so if he ran again although, in fact, Truman did far more talking than acting on civil rights. (It's been the Supreme Court, through repeated decisions, which has acted on civil rights, not the property and move here to reside. H. B. Abila, right of way agent for the Pacific Railway (the Huntington, Hellman line) writes from Los Angeles to Henry Hussman that he expects to be in this neighborhood shortly to procure rights-of-way for that line. This is the first time anyone has pinned a frank political label on the Korean peace talks in writing—though hints of politics came when Democratic Chairman Frank McKinney indicated that if peace came in Korea, the President would not run. Following this statement, Secretary of State Acheson phoned the president at Key West and expressed concern that McKinney's statement would give the communists the cue to hold out for further concessions. Acheson had been talking to Secretary of Defense Lovett and said both were concerned. Acheson didn't say so but in the State Department it was felt that the McKinney statement was almost equivalent to letting the Chinese select the next president of the United States. This was the reason for the president's quick denial next day. No More Concessions At about this time General Ridgway was quite upset over a truce concession suggested by Washington which eliminated Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, as port of entry for truce negotiations teams. Pyongyang is the hubcaps of the communist operation in North Korea and Ridgway wanted it opened to neutral observers during the armistice. Washington at first ruled otherwise, but now it looks as if Ridgway will get his way — despite Matt Connelly. For the truce negotiators have orders to make no more major concessions. The United States is standing pat. NOTE—This is not the first time Connelly has interfered in major policy matters. He euchreed the president into okaying the all important amalgamation of Pan American Airways and American Overseas Airways; is also credited with talking the president out of firing Attorney General McGrath. Taft's Son Though Senator Taft has been a consistent critic of the Marshall Plan, Aid to Europe and has voted against many of these appropriations, most people don't know that one of his sons appears to disagree with him. At least he has been 75 Years Ago April, 1877 Horses, harness and a lumber wagon have been left at Mitchell's Fashion Stables, with instructions to sell at almost any price. Angle and Champlin have been appointed road overseers of Anaheim district, vice Smith and Shelley. There will be a ball this evening at Norwalk and quite a number of Anaheim dancers will be in attendance. "Mazeppa," or "The Wild Mule of Anaheim," is the sensational play to be produced at Woods' Opera house, Los Angeles, on Monday next. 50 Years Ago April, 1902 W. W. Perkins, the El Mondena rose grower, has presented the Katella school, through J. B. Rae, with a number of umbrella trees to adorn the school ground, for which he has the thanks of the entire school district. Neighbors turned out and set the trees on Thursday. Mr. Rae has promised to furnish necessary water for them and the neighbors will care for them. Mr. Waelke was in town from Los Angeles on Monday. He has traded his property on W. Center street for a two-story building on Washington street, Los Angeles. The new owner is a lady, who will probably erect a fine residence on the property and move here to reside. H. B. Abila, right of way agent for the Pacific Railway (the Huntington, Hellman line) writes from Los Angeles to Henry Hussman that he expects to be in this neighborhood shortly to procure rights-of-way for that line. Tim Carroll has perfected a number of improvements in his beet dump, and will apply for a patent for them. McWilliams is drawing a set of elaborate plans to be forwarded to the patent office. Don David Yorba was in town a day or two ago. He advertises excellent pasturage at Rincon with plenty of water. 25 Years Ago April, 1927 Mr. Gaddy reports that the ball at Norwalk Friday night was a grand success. Four ladies and several gentleman from Anaheim went to join in the festivities. Out of a flock of sheep on the Pauma ranch, San Diego county, numbering 2500, only 800 are left, the others having died of starvation. At almost every street one meets with a pile of bricks, showing that Mr. Conrad's new building will not stand alone for long. We had a call yesterday from Mr. C. F. Scholl, an old-time resident of Anaheim, but now of Oak- Overseas Airways; is also credited with talking the president out of firing Attorney General McGrath. Taft's Son Though Senator Taft has been a consistent critic of the Marshall Plan, Aid to Europe and has voted against many of these appropriations, most people don't know that one of his sons appears to disagree with him. At least he has been accepting a salary from the fund which his father voted against. The son is William Howard Taft 3rd, named for the late president of the United States, who went to work for ECA—the Marshall Plan—on Sept. 7, 1948, for a salary of $7600 and was boosted up to $9500 by August 25, 1951, when he left. During his almost three years of service with the ECA, young Taft was assigned to one job—chief of the industry and tourism office in Dublin, Ireland. His duties were to stimulate industry and tourist trade in Southern Ireland, and since there's little in dustry in southern Ireland Taft's main duties were devoted to the tourist trade. land. Mr. Scholl will be at the Planter's hotel during the present week, and anyone desiring to purchase or rent a 20-acre vineyard would do well to interview him. Con Howe of Garden Grove was in town yesterday. He reported everything in a flourishing condition in that section. The chain gang is reduced to one man. They have all managed to pay their fines. Working for nothing does not suit. TV-RADIOLOGIC Crosby Clan Becoming An American Institution By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — "Those Crosby," said in a tone of wonderment and usually accompanied by a shake of the head, is a statement being made with increasing frequency in musical circles these days. "Crosby" used to mean Bing, and sometimes Bob. But now it's beginning to dawn on the entertainment world that a family tradition of succeeding generations of singers is being founded, comparable to the Barrymores in the theater. Bing has four children and Bob has five, and they all sing. Bing's four sons have made their radio debuts, have cut records, and show plenty of the old Crosby talent and professional ease before an audience. Now, along comes Cathy Crosby, 18, and eldest of Bob's children. She's already made appearances on her dad's "Club 15" show over C.B.S. Radio, and on her uncle Bing's Wednesday night show on the same network. And recently she and her father recorded the tune "Cathy," written specially for her. Her full-time singing career is a few years away though, because after high school, there's college and in the meantime, she'll just be making occasional guestar appearances and perhaps a record from time to time. She's already determined she will pay her own way through college with money when she's working chores alone, or with her mother. But when it comes to teamwork with her three brothers, things begin to happen." He claims the flying saucer rumors can be traced to his kitchen. Whenever Cathy and her 10-year-old brother are assigned to KP together there's a clash—both of temperaments and dishes. Cathy is keenly interested in horses, clothing, hair styling, parties, long telephone conversations and boys. And she likes to sing, especially since she discovered people pay money for it. All in all, she told this reporter, she finds life "pretty bearable." TELE-TIPS ...

Sacramento Scene By HENRY MacARTHUR (Capitol News Service) SACRAMENTO (CNS) — With California legislators ready to save Sacramento with close of the 1952 budget session, and return to their districts for the primary campaigns, attention of the state is being turned to June 3, when the electorate will decide upon its candidates for the November general election. As time moves toward the inevitable political deadline, a closer deadline is being called to the attention of the people by Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan. This is April 10, closing date for registrations for the primary. Jordan estimates that nearly a million and a half people “will not take the trouble” to register. He characterizes this as “pitiful,” and observes it is a sad commentary on the Democratic system of government and the heritage of government by the people. Out of the state’s population of approximately 11 million, seven million will be eligible to register, but from last records, only five and a half million will be on the rolls when the closing date arrives. LEGISLATION: Most of the major issues before the 1952 budg- - Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor FLORIDA HAS HAD its troubles marketwise this year but they are just not taking the beating laying down and are showing fight. In fact, it is our belief that their deal is on the verge of getting around that old “corner.” Their fruit, the valencia, which is coming on the market now is good and some of their leaders think they will be out of fruit by June 1. What a beautiful picture for our valencias. Here is some plain talking by the Florida Citrus Exchange. It does one good to hear some plain talk about the citrus business. A little more of the same thing would have done the California industry great good in the past. It is too early to know if California will need this sort of thing this year or not. We pose one question: Would anyone in the California citrus deal have the intestinal fortitude to come out with this sort of thing as has the Florida Citrus Exchange? We are afraid not. That is all the California deal needs. If you will read the following story by a foremost citrus expert you will find that it pulls no punches and calls a spade a spade: By JACK GURNETT Staff Correspondent “TAMPA—Taking off its ‘kid gloves,’ and breaking precedents by making direct charges, the Florida Citrus Exchange yesterday alleged that ‘spinelessness’ and ‘ignorance’ on the part of price-cutting sales managers who are ‘sabotaging Florida’s citrus price structure’ by failing to demand FOB prices of $2.50 a box for oranges which the FCE believes are worth a minimum of $3 a box FOB. “In a statement issued yesterday, with the approval of J. B. (Babe) Prevatt of Tavares, president, and John T. Lesley, general manager, the Exchange said that ‘instead of centering their selling artillery on competing with California, a few fresh fruit sales managers are selling Florida’s big industry into a financial strait-jacket through cut-throat competition with one another.’ “Bound to have repercussions throughout the industry because the Exchange’s general sales manager, Fred Johnston, has been charged many times with cutting prices on a strong going market—charges which have always been summarily denied—the statement is the first gun in what can turn out to be challenges within the industry to ‘get the price up’ on oranges. “Declaring that ‘it doesn’t take very much polish’ to give away a short product, the Exchange statement said ‘but it does take a lot of “guts” and know-how on the part of a person engaged in selling to maintain a price level when competitors are undercutting the market.’ “Saying that ‘backbone’ should be an attribute of ‘every true LEGISLATION: Most of the major issues before the 1952 budget and special sessions had not been resolved as the week closed. The assembly and senate were approximately $65 million apart on the state budget, and worked over the week-end to resolve their differences and produce a budget acceptable, if not satisfactory, to both houses. The $250 million school bond issue was passed by the Assembly, with only four disenting votes, an indication that the people of the state probably will have a chance next November to vote on the new bond issue, which is for the purpose of providing funds for distressed school districts. The state already has a bond issue of like denomination to pay off. The new bond issue was voted by the house over scattered protests to the effect that some of the $250 million had been dissipated in construction of frills and folderols unnecessary to the basic education program. Protest also was made that square foot costs were too high. Most assemblymen, however, with campaigns coming up, were anxious to line up for bigger and better educational facilities. EXECUTIVE: Last week the governor made his final campaign tour of Wisconsin, where primaries are scheduled. On his return to California, the governor no doubt will catch up with the accumulated bills from the state legislature, including his more than a billion dollar budget, and then plan his campaign for the Oregon primaries, which he has announced he will enter. TAX CUTS: A tax reduction in the form of lower sales, bank, personal income and franchise taxes, was killed by the State Senate revenue and Taxation committee. strait-jacket through cut-throat competition with one another.’ “Bound to have repercussions throughout the industry because the Exchange’s general sales manager, Fred Johnston, has been charged many times with cutting prices on a strong going market—charges which have always been summarily denied—the statement is the first gun in what can turn out to be challenges within the industry to ‘get the price up’ on oranges. “Declaring that ‘it doesn’t take very much polish’ to give away a short product, the Exchange statement said ‘but it does take a lot of “guts” and know-how on the part of a person engaged in selling to maintain a price level when competitors are undercutting the market.’ “Saying that ‘backbone’ should be an attribute of ‘every true Florida citrus salesman’ the Exchange said it takes ‘an even stronger backbone to raise the level when pressured downward.’ “Continuing its barrage against ‘price cutting sales managers,’ the Exchange statement said in part: “The big test came about two weeks ago when fresh prices for Florida’s premium Valencia oranges skidded to $2.25 per box at the packing house. It was a tough blow to the genuine sales managers who turned away business to maintain a $2.50 price only to see their efforts wrecked by the misnomers calling themselves salesmen. “With January’s citrus prices returning only 24 per cent of parity to the Florida grower, it appears that much can be done by salesmen to bring citrus returns into line with other food commodities. Out of a list of 28 food products, oranges and grapefruit held the bottom rungs on the parity ladder. Beef, for instance, scaled 129 per cent of parity while potatoes recorded a strong 120. “In addition, salesmen should realize there is every indication that a Valencia shortage will develop this season. As of March 22, only 28 million boxes of oranges remained, including about ½ million midseasons. If the indicated 42 million gallon frozen concentrate pack is to be realized, 6 million boxes of oranges will go into this operation. Another 8 million boxes are slated for the fresh market during the remainder of the shipping season ending June 1, if present volume continues. “To reach last season’s canned pack of 20 million cases, another 4 million boxes will have to be gobbled up by the processors. Pasteurized concentrate, or ‘hot pack,’ will require another million boxes as will blended canned juice and fresh home consumption in Florida. This all adds up to 3 million boxes—with only 28 million remaining. “Why, then, are some citrus salesmen literally “giving away” Florida’s most valuable citrus crop when there is every indication it is worth at least $3 per box FOB right now? “IN REALITY, price cutting accomplishes nothing although truth of the matter is that a psychosis of distrust and suspicion on the part of the Northern produce trade is being fostered, hampering future sales in the interest of turning a quick dollar. “As to the Florida grower who still maintains the most important role in the overall drama, his cost of production has not remained static. He is digging deeper into his pocket with each succeeding year to pay increased costs of labor, fertilizers, sprays, taxes, etc. Yet the selling price of fruit has decreased. “Demand is exceptionally good and the fruit, excellent. Food chains and the industry itself are involved in numerous promotions to stimulate the movement of fresh citrus—to create an even stronger demand. And yet at home, certain citrus sales managers are shaving prices down instead of taking advantage over supply in the present market and should be realizing a profit. “The question then becomes increasingly important. Why should prices be cut? The answer can only be found in the spinelessness and ignorance of some who are sabotaging Florida’s citrus price structure.” TAX CUTS: A tax reduction in the form of lower sales, bank, personal income and franchise taxes was killed by the State Senate Revenue and Taxation committee, despite its adoption by the state assembly. Economy groups in the lower house planned to keep 109 million in the pockets of Californians and passed the measure over the objections of Governor Karl Warren. The senate revenue and taxation committee, however, held that it would not handle the tax reduction program until after the budget was passed, a strategy move which precluded any consideration for the bill at all. HIGHWAY PATROL: Describals as one of the "toughest" reports ever issued on a state department, a document outlining certain deficiencies in the California Highway Patrol emanated from the committee headed by Senator Randolph Collier of Yreka. The report criticized operation of the department and the activities of Commissioner Clifford Peterson. Some highway patrolmen expressed resentment privately, holding that the commissioner is attempting to do a good job, and that his request for 200 more uniformed men to patrol the highways of the state was entirely feasible and the necessity justified. On the other hand, the report showed that uniformed officers, instead of patrolling the highways, are being used in extra-arricular activities, such as chauffeuring high state officials, inside office work, etc. No winner in the bout between Collier and Peterson has been announced. Home Loan Rules Revised by FHA Home repair and modernization loans may now be made without down payment, it was announced yesterday by B. W. Jordan, manager of the Anaheim Branch, Security-First National Bank. Jordan's statement came following a recent change in policy made by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Housing Administration affecting "Title I" loans. Jordan said the change in policy was effective March 24. It includes loans for alteration, modernization and repairs to existing buildings. Maximum permissible maturity for the loan remains at 36 months with repayment made in monthly installments.
