Be careful with that talk... Yesterday, one of the fine ladies in Anaheim who reads the newspapers thoughtfully and carefully—and understands what she is reading—came into our office to report that so-and-so is spreading the word around town that the Gazette is a "communist" paper. As Jerry Lewis would say: "WOW! THAT'S A HOT ONE." However, we found out that the person who would defame our good name is a representative of the ever so small uninformed minority in Anaheim which does not read the Gazette regularly. Seriously, however, it all points up one of the real difficulties of delving into troublesome and controversial issues and trying to make sense out of them in the best interests of the community. There is a fringe of folks, who, if they don't agree with you—or haven't fully acquainted themselves with the honest facts—call We think communism is the bunk, a horrible fraud. We are convinced Stalin is the arch-criminal No. 1 in the universe. We believe that if more people would take the time to study the sordid and criminal history and aspirations of communism they would be a little less prone to call decent folks communists. We believe in the American way. We think the free-enterprise system the best economic system ever devised. We believe democracy is the finest political system ever created. We believe in the dignity of the individual, and we dislike to see "vested interests," or anybody else, push folks around—in fact, we might even stick up for our schools and school teachers. At the Gazette, we have good Republicans of long-standing, and a highly independent Democrat, formulating the policy of this paper. You might say correctly we are independent Republicans... WASHINGTON — Now the steel mills are running and some administration leaders are canvassing means of winding the entire mess by giving steel industry a moderate price increase in order to take care of a wage increase. Several cabinet members privately have long favored such plan, especially Secretary Defense Lovett. John Steelman the acting defense mobilize once also definitely favored $5-a-fon price increase for steel as did Charles E. Wilson. However, each move in this direction has run up against quiet, adamant opposition of ex-governor from Georgia, P.A. Administrator Ellis Arnall. And Arnall flatly refuses budge. At one White House meeting just before the president seized the steel industry, various cabinet members were urging moderate price increase in prices as a sop to the industry. “You can increase 'em all right drawled Arnall good-natured.” “You can increase 'em if you want to wreck the country.” Arnall wasn't mad a bit. Even sounded as if he was hidding. But those who knew him realized that he was deeply serious, especially when he added: “You can increase 'em all right. But you'll have to get yourself a new price administrator.” Steel Profits The quiet threat of Arnall's ignation was enough to stop further discussion. Furthermore, was backed up by his immediate Seriously, however, it all points up one of the real difficulties of delving into troublesome and controversial issues and trying to make sense out of them in the best interests of the community. There is a fringe of folks, who, if they don't agree with you—or haven't fully acquainted themselves with the honest facts—call YOU a communist, fascist, or some other darn thing. If they call you a communist, that is calculated to make people hate you—just because you didn't agree with their pat ideas. Much more of that stuff—no differences of opinions—and the bet-makers will be out of business for sure. WELL, THERE'S ONE way to refute the accusation that the Anaheim Gazette is a branch of the communist Daily Worker and a tool of Stalin. And that is NOT to stand on our constitutional rights—or whatever those Hollywood reds stand on. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago May 1877 The sheep men who had depended upon the Stearns Ranchos for feed for their stock this summer are not pleased with the news that the ranchos have been leased. Nicholas Bersets who has been engaged in tobacco growing near Anaheim takes his departure this morning for Sierra county. He will return in a few months. Mr. James Huntington brought to town yesterday an orange tree of St. Michael's variety which was loaded with blossoms. The tree is only one year old from the bed and is about three feet high. 50 Years Ago May 1902 Frank Pallas has presented Joseph Helmsen with a Filipino walking stick, having inside it a two-foot assegar. The cane is an inoffensive looking instrument, but on being seized by the party of the second part, is drawn by the holder of it dexterously toward the south-southwest when a two foot blade is unsheathed, sharpened to a point with. This he runs the other fellow through the liver and sends for the coroner. The landlord, however, is afeared of going out with it, lest he be arrested for carrying concealed weapons. Steel Profits The quiet threat of Arnall's ignition was enough to stop her discussion. Furthermore, was backed up by his immediate superior, Roger Putnam, a manufacturer from Springfield, MA who knows what it's like to mute a profit and meet a payroll. Arnall also produced figures showing that the steel industry could pay the package wage increase recommended by the Wage Stabilization Board and yet reduce its profits only a cent a ton under the high profit base from 1946 to 1949—a tax. Arnall likewise showed that the steel industry, after paying the wage increase, after paying taxes, would have a profit of only 60 cents a less than its record-breaking profits during the year 1949 when steel dividends soared an all-time high as a result of the Korean war. He argued that the steel dustry should not make money; the expense of the Korean war; also pointed out that these problems were after taxes. The steel industry has not changed Arnall's figures. Steel Merry-Go-Round When news of the court of peals decision first reached White House, Justice Department officials wanted to get out an junction against the steelwork forcing them to go back to work. Solicitor General Philip Perlman and Holmes Baldridge, assist attorney general, both agreed that the workers were striking against the government. Secretary Commerce Sawyer, however, posed. He warned that the peals court decision favoring the government was by too slender margin to get out an injunction. Justice Department officials then proposed that labor be offered an immediate wage increase. This Secretary Sawyer also posed. "We ought not to buy." Mr. James Huntington brought to town yesterday an orange tree of St. Michael's variety which was loaded with blossoms. The tree is only one year old from the bed and is about three feet high. Don Chico Forster was up from Santa Margarita yesterday. He has started a band of eight hundred horses for Utah. The band was at the San Joaquin ranch yesterday. The grasshoppers are very numerous on the Los Alamitos. What little green grass remains is rapidly being devoured by the scourge. Mrs. F. M. Brown arrived home last night from San Francisco whither she has been to purchase a new stock of millinery. The committee appointed by the Town Trustees to examine the survey of the town made by Mr. Hansen were busy yesterday with the gentleman examining the lines. We understand the present survey corresponds with that made when the town was originally laid out. We learn from one of the committee that the map will probably be received by the Board of Trustees. Another fine assortment of job type was received by the Gazette office last night. The municipal election was probably the quietest ever held in the history of the city. Only 258 votes were cast, whereas it was expected the total vote would go to nearly 300. At noon 150 votes were cast. Voting during the afternoon was not at all brisk. Fletcher, Rust and Berdrow were elected city trustees. Merritt defeated McKinley for city clerk. H. Cohen was reelected city treasurer. The fight for marshal resulted in the election of N. F. Steadman. The surprise of the day was the small vote cast for Harrison Kuebler for his office. Out of the total vote of the city he polled only six votes. Out of the first one hundred counted he received only one. The total vote was as follows: For city trustee, Louis Fletcher 148; C. O. Rust 137; W. Berdrow 136; For city clerk, C. B. Merritt 210; C. G. McKinley 33; city marshal, Steadma n155; Brummoth 89; Kuebler 6. The election board was composed of H. Gade and Geo. Bond. Inspectors: A. Rimpau and J. S. Howard. Judges: Joe Hatfield and F. Spencer. Clerks: Ralph Hunter and Max Boege, ballot clerks. The attorney general, both agreed to the workers were striking against the government... Secretary Commerce Sawyer, however, opposed. He warned that the peals court decision favoring the government was by too slender margin to get out an injunction... Justice Department officials then proposed that labor be fered an immediate wage increase. This Secretary Sawyer also opposed. "We ought not to buy back," he claimed... As a restruman issued his midnight pleal to Phil Murray—which worked... The president has asked Acting Attorney General Perlme to submit a full report on how Taft-Hartley act could be used if necessary. Originally Trump was leery about using his "herent" powers to seize the stamps... Charlie Murphy, White House counsel, at one time visited the president to make strong speech to a joint session of Congress, urging legislation eased powering him to take over a vital industry threatened with shutdown during an emergency. Truman finally rejected this idea figuring the Dixiecrat coalition would block it. BIG TURTLES GARDEN GROVE — Thrives expected their husband back from a Lower California fishing cruise with fish—not two giant sea turtles. The men did land many large white sea bass, but they wanted the turtles for some "good soup." The sea turtles were captured off the San Luis Gonzaga Island known as the "Enchanted Isles." WASHINGTON — Now that steel mills are running again, administration leaders are pressing means of winding up entire mess by giving the industry a moderate price rise in order to take care of large increase. Several cabinet members privy have long favored such a especially Secretary of State Lovett. John Steelman, acting defense mobilizer, also definitely favored a ton price increase for steel, and Charles E. Wilson. However, each move in this dien has run up against the adamant opposition of an governor from Georgia, Price Administrator Ellis Arnall. Arnall flatly refuses to join White House meeting just before the presidency of the steel industry, various members were urging a rate price increase in steel as a sop to the industry. You can increase 'em all right," said Arnall good-naturedly, can increase 'em if you want to kick the country." Arnall wasn't mad a bit. He sounded as if he was half lying. But those who knew realized that he was dead-horrible, especially when he hit: You can increase 'em all right, you'll have to get yourselves price administrator." Steel Profits A quiet threat of Arnall's resonance was enough to stop furious discussion. Furthermore, he backed up by his immediate army is gone. The breakup of the vast American fighting machine began that night of victory seven years ago in Europe. Hal Boyle LEGAL NOTICE (Pub.

Turtles were captured off Luis Gonzaga Islands, as the "Enchanted Isles." SOME SOLDIERS wiped their eyes at the news. Some fired their carbines into the air—and immediately got bawled out for wasting ammo. Some went absent without leave. Some dug out hidden bottles of French brandy and got roaring tight. Some went off and sat by themselves. But most of the men just gathered in small groups and talked it over—and there really wasn't much to say.

Already this mighty army, its task done, was beginning to dis-integrate. The men no longer were thinking of the common goal ahead—a river to be crossed, a ridge mass to be stormed and taken. They were being pulled apart by the tugs of peace, the possibility of going back to their own private lives. ONCE ITS GOAL is gone, an Raoul Walsh Tells Why the Men Are Easier to Direct By BOB THOMAS The radio-TV column regularly appearing on this page will be found on Page 4, alongside the program listings. HOLLYWOOD (UP) — Raoul Walsh, who is celebrating 40 years in the movie industry, admitted today that he woul drather direct actors than actresses. Walsh has long been known as a "man's director." He has piloted such rugged stars as Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Errol Flynn, James Cagney, Alan Ladd and Gregory Peck. It's no mere accident that Countv Comment By GEORGE E. HART It would be most inappropriate for this department this week to overlook the golden anniversary of our favorite humanitarian institution, Goodwill Industries. The whole county is celebrating, and no wonder. The mayors of all the cities issued proclamations designating the week as Goodwill Industries Week. You see automobiles carrying signs on their bumpers advertising the event, and the newspapers are devoting space to it. The Goodwill store-and plant in Santa Ana will conduct open house to the public Thursday and he has specialized in male subjects, he disclosed. "Women are too much trouble," he said. "They arrive on the set in the morning and they're concerned about some dress they're supposed to wear. By the time you hash the whole thing out, it's 11 o'clock. If I only had men to worry about, I could have had a half-dozen scenes in the camera by then." "Actors are ready to start acting the moment you call them. But not actresses. When they are called, a whole crew of people begins working on them. Between scenes, the girls are always running to a mirror to see if every hair is still in place." Walsh is not entirely anti-female. He gave Rita Hayworth her biggest boost to fame in "Strawberry Blonde." But he is more known for finding and developing male stars. He took a stunt man named Duke Morrison, renamed him John Wayne and starred him in "The Big Trail." The director's latest discovery is a tall, good-looking lad named Rock Hudson: He played a bit in Walsh's "Fighter Squadron" in 1948. Now Rock is enacting the leading role in the director's "Gun Hand." "I like to take these young kids and bring them along," Walsh explained. "It's kinda like an inventor toyling with a new invention." PERHAPS HIS interest in new talent stems from his own early days in films. He started in 1912 LEGAL NOTICES (Pub.

The whole county is celebrating, and no wonder. The mayors of all the cities issued proclamations designating the week as Goodwill Industries Week. You see automobiles carrying signs on their bumpers advertising the event, and the newspapers are devoting space to it. The Goodwill store-and plant in Santa Ana will conduct open house to the public Thursday and Friday afternoons and evenings. It would interest anyone to take a look at the sheltered workshops where some 75 or more handicapped men and women earn their livelihood and hold the line of self respect behind this bulwark against forced charity. The Goodwill slogan, as you may know, is "Not charity but chance." They also sometimes say, "A hand up, not a handout." Charity is truly the greatest of virtues, but in this modern world self support is preferred by all except chiselers. You taxpayers, too, would admire these sheltered workshops where discards are turned into time cards, and household castoffs are made to look like new. These workshops saved you some $93,-000 last year, in welfare costs. Prominent Orange county society and club women will be fitting about the Goodwill headquarters during the open house reception. They rallied to participate in a first rate fashion show as a feature of open house. Goodwill Industries was born in Boston in 1902. It was established in Orange county in 1924. Initiated by the depression following World War I, much of its history in this county has been compiled in fighting through depressions. During the big one of the thirties, it helped the hungry as well as the handicapped, and still does so today, for that matter, when the need arises. But it nearly always helps with work and wages, rather than charity. DURING THE thirties, Goodwill Industries was hard put to find work for the needy. It even operated a wood yard, where 20 to 30 men were paid $2 a day to cut trees. PERHAPS HIS interest in new talent stems from his own early days in films. He started in 1912 as a cowboy for the Pathe Brothers, who were then shooting in New Jersey. One day he got a call to report to biograph and there he alligned with the great D. W. Griffith. First as an actor and then as a director. The apprenticeship under Griffith was rugged but worthwhile. "The old man used to tell me he wanted 50 cowboys for the next day," Walsh recalled. "So I had to hurry around to the bars and hotels and line up enough men. I sent them out to location that night, so they'd be ready to shoot the next morning. There was never a worry about hotels, because the cowboys slept in the corrals. They charged $5 a day, including their horses." It's no accident that Walsh's films are distinguished by their amount of action; his training in the silent films accounts for that. "Most movie scripts today are overwritten," he remarked. "I go through them and cut out the dialogue wherever I can. That may be why my pictures are so popular in foreign countries. I've just heard from Japan, where some of my pictures have been playing. They've even started a 'Raoul Walsh fan club' over there." He added that some of the magic went out of films when they started to talk. "I can remember when the movies were just catching on," he said. "The fan mail for the stars was tremendous. When the stars signed contracts, they insisted on three or four girls to do nothing but take care of answering the mail. But when sound came in, the volume of mail dropped tremendously. The players still get letters, but nothing like the volume of old dawn." DURING THE thirties, Goodwill Industries was hard put to find work for the needy. It even operated a wood yard, where 20 to 30 men were paid $2 a day to cut wood. This entailed a constant search of the highways and byways for trees to cut down. Recognizing the good work, the Committee of Fifty that had been formed in Santa Ana to help relieve the economic pinch, turned its cash, some $750, over to Goodwill Industries for wages in its wood yard. Goodwill Industries also rustled day-old bread from a wholesale bakery and 40 to 50 gallons of skim milk daily from a creamery, to distribute to the hungry. From the fish marts at the beach, it wangled swordfish for the same purpose. All that, naturally, built a lot of good will. Another thing that is still building good will is the fact that Goodwill Industries of Orange County doesn't ask a thing of the public except the things the public no longer wants. It gets not a cent of Community Chest funds. Moreover, it uses all the household castoffs it gets to provide work locally, instead of shipping them elsewhere. In 1924, Goodwill Industries had three employees and a payroll of $65 per week. Now, as mentioned, it provides work for 75, and has a payroll of $2100 a week. Long may it wave. "I can remember when the movies were just catching on," he said. "The fan mail for the stars was tremendous. When the stars signed contracts, they insisted on three or four girls to do nothing but take care of answering the mail. But when sound came in, the volume of mail dropped tremendously. The players still get letters, but nothing like the volume of the old days." Counting one-and two-reelers, Walsh calculated he has directed more movies than anyone in the business. He has never been away from pictures for more than three months at a time. I asked if he had any favorite films. "Nope," he replied. "Some of them are lousy and some are good. I make 'em and forget 'em."
