THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BEBLER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIDt City Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager G. E. MELLEN Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Still growing... fast... This beautiful state of ours has been the eighth wonder of the world for a decade or more because of the way it has been growing. And you would think that having broken virtually every known record for population increase it would let up and take things easy for awhile. But not so. People won't let it. They keep coming to California by all means of transportation including stork. Last year approximately 450,000 newcomers arrived here to stay. That's at the rate of more than 1200 a day or 8600 a week. Think of it this way: every week California has been adding the equivalent of a new community of over 8600 persons. And in a year 52 such communities! In view of this it is not surprising that auto registrations leaped 382,000 last year. Industry and agriculture continued to expand and we also continued to be one of the "build-ingest" areas in the world for new dwelling units. Of course, bigness brings big problems, and we certainly have them in trying to build enough schools to accommodate the fast increasing school registration. Constructing highways capable of handling the car population is also a major headache. But California has met serious challenges in the past and we're confident she can measure up today as well. A week for everybody... The week of May 11 is being designated in various communities World War II. The breakdown on the $56 billion of last year WASHINGTON—Three amazing Chinese documents have just come to light on the wake of the nationalist Chinese cables which Sen. Wayne Morse (R. Ore.,) has inserted in the Congressional Record. The three new documents, far unpublished, show that supposedly friendly Chinese nationalist government has been trying to obtain the secret of the atomic bomb. Furthermore, the Chinese confidential instructions show consistent attempt to obtain A-bomb secrets, beginning immediately after the Hiroshima explosion and extending through 1948. While this kind of espionage is to be expected from a satellite country, it is a highly questionable, if not unfriendly, act on the part of a government which has been kept alive only by millions in U.S. cash, materials and military support. The first secret Chinese cable is dated Sept. 1, 1945, immediately after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki explosions. It reads: "From: Chinese Air Force Headquarters" "To: Air Attaché, C/O Chinese Air Force in U.S.A." "Your cable received. You are instructed to continue search for information in regard to atomic bomb." C. J. Chow. C. J. Chow, who signed the cable, is the commanding general of the nationalist Chinese air force and one of the highest men in Chiang-Kai-Shek's councils. A week for everybody... The week of May 11 is being designated in various communities as Taxpayer's Week. And the taxpayer, we understand, is not being taxed for it. That's a novelty. But unlike other special weeks, such as Don't Kick Your Dog Week, or Don't Poison - Your Grandmother Week, this week honors the millions of Americans who were taken for more taxes last year than they, or anybody else in recorded history, were ever taken for. To be exact, the Internal Revenue Bureau collected $58,093,426,069 in 1951. And that, fellow countrymen, was 40 per cent over 1950. Also, it was 28 per cent above the highest previous record of $44 billion collected in 1945, the last year of World War II. The breakdown on the $56 billion of last year was $30 billion in individual and Social Security taxes, $16½ billion in corporate taxes, and about $10 billion in various other levies. And this year the collection will be still higher. Is it any wonder then that demands are increasing for a tax ceiling? To be sure, such a ceiling wouldn't apply during emergencies under the plans proposed, but if adopted it would give the long-suffering taxpayer the assurance that government spending would have to be restricted to reasonable levels once the crisis is past. Without such a ceiling we shall definitely race high taxes indefinitely. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago May 1877 The Los Angeles Times says, "We are gratified to be able to make the announcement that there is not a single case of small pox in the city or hospital, and the last house in which small pox has existed was fumigated yesterday." Some nights ago Officer Bohn arrested a horse which was straying about the streets without any owner, place of abode or occupation. The saddle on the beast he took to his own horse. The horse was tied up. The next day the animal had been taken away. Mr. Bohn wishes to inform the man who took the home that the saddle 50 Years Ago May 1902 The board of trustees held its regular meeting on Tuesday evening. The full board was present, viz: Helmsen, Fay, Dickel, Schneider, Weisel. Marshall Steadman reported the following collections for March: water $191.20; electric lights, $382.05; licenses, $190.75; total $764, less 5 per cent for collecting, $38.20. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance on hand in the general fund amounting to $1180.54, in bond fund No. 1, $975; No. 2, $384.25; No. 3, $472.50, total, $2976.29. Clerk Meritt's financial report IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL This document is a long one, mimeographed on thin Chinese paper, and sent out in 1948, a date which could be significant in that at that time Chang Kai-Shek was being pushed toward Air Force in U.S.A. "Your cable received. You are instructed to continue search for information in regard to atomic bomb. C. J. Chow." C. J. Chow, who signed the cable, is the commanding general of the nationalist Chinese air force and one of the highest men in Chiang-Kai-Shek's councils. Bikini Secrets Sought The second cable is dated December 6, 1946, and shows that even after a great deal of publicity in the United States over the leak of atomic secrets, Chiang's government was still endeavoring to penetrate our security. The cable reads: "From: Chinese Air Force Headquarters To: Air Attaché, C/O Chinese Air Force Office in U.S.A. You are instructed to collect the information in regard to the report of the results of the Bikini atomic bomb tests in July and send back immediately for our study. C. J. Chow" The two above cables have come to light in a manner somewhat similar to the way in which the Russian spy ring in Canada was exposed—through a code officer in Canada, the code clerk of the Russian Embassy, Igor Gouzenko decided that his country should not be spying on the United States. In Washington, Captain Fang code officer of the Chinese air mission also had misgivings about Chinese prying into the secrets of a government that was supporting China, and supplied the above translations from his original coding notes. Wanted: "All U.S. Secrets" Another document, perhaps even more significant, is a top-secret instruction sent "to all Chinese air force personnel in the United States re: instructions regarding air force intelligence." Some nights ago Officer Bohn arrested a horse which was straying about the streets without any owner, place of abode or occupation. The saddle on the beast he took to his own horse. The horse was tied up. The next day the animal had been taken away. Mr. Bohn wishes to inform the man who took the horse that the saddle is in his possession and can be had by the payment of the charges thereon. Adolph Rimpau is now on his way to Arizona with his flock of sheep. We wish him a pleasant and prosperous journey. It pains our sensitive bosom to learn from the Express that Rogers, while entering the grim portals of Clancy's dungeon, fell in a fit and struck his head against the door. Carpenters were immediately employed and the jail is now in as sound a condition as before the accident. The Gospel Swamp correspondent of the Santa Ana Times says: We wish to call the attention of the good people of this vicinity that we stand very much in need of a post office. We hope that some of our influential citizens will take the matter in hand and proceed at once to supply this long-felt want. We also need a blacksmith shop. Mr. Ferguson is shipping his sheep to San Francisco. Two car loads left here this morning.

Judge Ballard on Monday affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of Joseph Smith for illegal selling of liquor at Fullerton. A fine of $150 has been imposed by the Orange justice. 25 Years Ago May 1927 County Assessor James Sleeper was the orator of the day at the weekly meeting of the Kiwanis club Tuesday, and naturally his theme was "Assessments" which is an interesting subject to all property owners. This document is a long one, mimeographed on thin Chinese paper, and sent out in 1948, a date which could be significant in that at that time Chiang Kai-shek was being pushed toward Shanghai, and had little chance of maintaining a foothold in China. The fact that he was so anxious to obtain U.S. military secrets at this late date leads to the speculation that they were wanted not for nationalist China, but for trading purposes with communist China. In any event, the secret instructions to Chinese officers to collect American military information covered almost every possible item in the military books. COMBAT VET“FIRES” ON COMBAT VET A Marine combat veteran today knows that sometimes Main st. Los Angeles, is more dangerous than the Korean battlefields. FFC Clifford Kost, 20, of Cam Del Mar, said he accidentally shot himself twice in the wrist at Main st. shooting gallery. He told police he finished shooting a .22 caliber rifle, and it fired as he set it down. In this excitement, he added, he must have pulled the trigger, nickling himself a second time. He was no seriously hurt. "Mandarin" was formerly the common name for all public officials in China. TROUBLE SHOOTER RIDGWAY MACARTHUR'S JOB EISENHOWER'S JOB The OBLONG VIEWS The Sacramento Scene By HENRY C. MacARTHUR Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO — Governor Warren, refusing to predict the outcome of the Oregon primaries, left for that state where he will campaign, he said, as steadily as possible for the next two weeks, for the GOP presidential nomination. The Oregon primaries are slated May 16, and the governor intends to stay there until that date unless something unusual calls him back to California. PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK: Coupled with Public Schools Week in California, a time when parents are invited to visit the schools and participate in activities, was the announcement by the California Teachers association that immediately following, an initiative would be circulated to increase the average daily attendance subsidies paid by the state to the school districts to $180 per pupil. Some of the schools jumped the gun, and had the petitions available for signature on the "open house" nights, thereby getting a good start for qualification of the initiative for the November ballot.

Mashburn, state labor commissioner,says recent court decisions have removed any doubt that workers in California get two hours off to vote. A previous ruling of the attorney general held the two hours could be taken only if the polls were not open during working hours. Government workers,however,will get a complete holiday June 3,when the California primaries are held. DUCK TROUBLES: Duck hunters of California through the Organized Sportsmen have informed the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service that they want a 45-day early season in Northern California; a daily bag limit and possession of at least eight ducks, and a joint investigation by federal and state agencies on values of natural or artificial waterfowl feeding programs. The decision of the federal bureau will be made next August. PARK ACQUISITION: After many years of negotiations with the federal government,the state finally has gained title to a 1200 acre "corridor between the north and south Calaveras groves of big trees in Calaveras and Tuolumne counties. The south grove,which the state hopes to acquire as a park site,is owned by private lumbering interests,and although the legislature some time ago set aside a million dollars for the state's share in the acquisition,no private I decided it was subversive and inimical to our system of government as originally propounded by the Founding Fathers. "We Work and Play." Definitely communistic propaganda.The title suggests that one class of people in this country is bound to slavery and work,while the privileged class is financially independent and has nothing to do but gambol around in luxurious frolic,all at the expense of the poor. On Page 12 of the book a col-funds have yet been secured in amounts large enough to warrant the purchase. The state owns the north grove,which has been a state park since 1930. Total area of the north, south and corridor lands approximates 5000 acres. HIGHWAYS MOVE: An indication that the administration may move for more highway money at the next session of the legislature was given by Governor Warren at the most recent meeting of the governor's council. Additional highway money has been a pet project of Senator Randolph Collier,Yreka,for several legislative sessions,and probably will continue to be at the 1953 session. Highway needs,the governor said; remain unfilled despite the huge sums spent on them.

TV-RADIOLOGIC Ray Noble's Subtle Comedy Is Winning Many New Fans By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Musician-composer Ray Noble "let the cat out of the bag" several years ago and suddenly found himself a comedian. Only the way he said it, in a backstage conversation with Edgar Bergen, was, "I unsacked a feline" his remark delighted Bergen and shortly after, Noble was invited to step from the podium he occupied as musical director of CBS Radio's "Edgar Bergen-Charlie McCarthy Show" and exchange chit-chat with Charlie. The studio audience was delighted and, as the mail soon indicated, so were the at-home listeners. Noble took this new success with inward delight, but his reserved comment to Bergen was, "I rawther like being a comedeyen." Born in Brighton, England, Noble began a career as a journalist. But it didn't suit him, and music did, so he switched to arranging and composing. His talents were soon spotted by the British Victor company and he was signed as a conductor for the recording firm. Mal Boyle NEW YORK (P) — Is life too much for you? Has care got you down? Since this is national mental health week, now is as good a time as any to figure what to do about By 1932, his fame had spread, via records, to the United States and he brought his orchestra over here on tour. He liked it here, and the Americans liked him—so here he stayed, as so many Britons do upon visiting our country. But it's in his zany exchanges with Charlie McCarthy every Sunday night that he has built his greatest radio following, even though his recordings are still popular on juke boxes across the country. Most memorable is his theme song with Ray first recorded in Europe, but sold many, many thousands of copies here—"The Very Thought of You." So there we have it—a musical conductor - arranger performing normal duties on a comedy show—becoming a comedian in his own right, and it all happened because he let the cat out of the bag, at the right moment. CRITIC'S CORNER . . . Red Skelton recently was lambasted for a very funny remark he made regarding the present administration. Red "let go" with this one strictly in the spirit of comedy and good fun. It would take a lot more of his sponsor's product to "clean up" matters, than Red realizes! TELE-TIPS . . . "Interrupted Journey" and "Winner's Circle" are the two feature films to be NEW YORK (UP) — Is life too much for you? Has care got you down? Since this is national mental health week, now is as good a time as any to figure what to do about keeping all your marbles. Statisticians estimate that one out of every 12 children born in America today will spend some part of his life in a mental institution. This is a frightening fact. Going to a psychiatrist isn't the solution. There are only about 6000 psychiatrists in the country. Even if patients kept their couches warm around the clock, there are too few of these professional mind probers to listen to all the people who want to tell their troubles. Also, getting to their ear is a bit expensive for the average purse. WHAT IS THE answer? Well, let's look at the situation, and consider the possible remedies. There are two ways to go through life—enjoying yourself to death, or worrying yourself to death. Most people are firmly convinced they will never die of pleasure, and as a matter of fact, the very idea frightens them. So they slowly worry themselves crazy, or fret themselves gradually into a grave, borne down by the weight of accumulated disappointments and frustrated ambitions. The big fallacy of the human race is that it is spendthrift of its happiness, but hoards worry privately like a miser. This is all wrong. You should, of course, share your happiness; but, equally, you should share your worries. A happiness grows with sharing; a worry diminishes. We've had share-the-work programs and share-the-wealth programs. What we need now is a good, nation-wide, share-your-worries program. People plagued by similar emotional, physical or financial woes could band together on the same principle as the mom for a very funny remark he made regarding the present administration.

If you've got it bad—bad enough—it isn't bad, it's good. Copyright, 1965, by Universal Radio and TV Features Syndicate An innocent illustration of two kids at play. But wait! The artist who drew this picture may have been trained in Budapest. The boy is up, and the girl is down. Could it be designed to hammer some the damaging point that in America the male dominates the female? No, that couldn't be. Evidently the artist never went Christmas shopping with a woman. "Up and Down," the title reads. Oh, yes! Now we see it: Up and Down. Boom and Bust. Prosperity and Depression. It is pictorial editorial showing the alliance of capitalistic democracy and the little girl still wears that old dress. Hmmmmmm. The last chapter in this book, vividly illustrated as are all the chapters, shows a little boy and a girl seated at a table cutting out paper boats, cars, dogs and cats. A gust of wind enters the room, all the cut-out articles rise to the ceiling, then tumble back to the floor. This is explained at the bottom of the picture: Down come the boats. Down come the cars. Down comes Tim (the dog). Down comes Puff (the cat). Down down. down. DOWN WITH EVERYTHING! comes the revolution! I tell you, it's high time we wrote to the county superintendent of schools. We'll arrange for a big, old-fashioned book-burning, and just for good measure, we'll toss a witch or two onto the fire just to hot one coffee up a mite. Bring your own witch. This is all wrong. You should, of course, share your happiness; but, equally, you should share your worries. A happiness grows with sharing; a worry diminishes. We've had share-the-work programs and share-the-wealth programs. What we need now is a good, nation-wide, share-your-worries program. People plagued by similar emotional, physical or financial woes could band together on the same principle as the members of Alcoholics Anonymous, a signally successful organization. COME FOLKS might be reluctant to share their private worries with neighbors or friends. In that case they could team up with strangers who knew nothing about them personally but suffered the same problems. The advantage of these share-your-worries clubs is that they would put each worry in its proper persepctive. The thing about your own worry is that it always looks bigger to you than it does to everybody else. Tell your worry to another person and, somehow, it doesn't loom quite so large even to you. And the one you told it to? He can take your worry and a dozen other worries like it from a dozen other people and go right on enjoying his meals' as he did before. It is easy to laugh at the other fellow's problems.. So if everybody in the world told his worries around, soon everybody would have something to laugh about. That's the virtue of a national share-the-worries program. Once a man has something to laugh at—somebody else's woes—it is easier for him to see how silly it is to lose his mind on the treadmill of his own despairs. County Building Shows Decrease Unincorporated territory of Orange county had a slight decrease during April, as compared with March, total valuation of permits being $1,924,220, according to records of County Building Inspector Charles Donohue. There were 353 permits issued during the month, of which 84 were for new single-family homes, of a total value of $854,112. Another $112,528 was expended in additions and remodeling of 66 homes. Permits were issued for five multiple-family dwellings valued at $85,856. Two motels were built, at a cost of $60,104. Seven store buildings received permits aggregating $196,-600. A new $324,829 school group in Alamitos district boosted the total. The April total was five per cent below that of March, but was 13 per cent higher than the total for April, 1951. To date this year, 1645 permits have been issued for a total valuation of $8,066,734, as compared to $6,680,106 for the same period last year.
