MELLEN Advertising Manager RALPH BOULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager The voteinest year... California apparently will be well represented at the polls when election days rolls around. No less than 5,383,573 Californians have registered—and that's an all-time record. Previous high was 5,244,837 recorded in 1950. (Today's registration represents a jump of 138,736 new voters over 1950.) In Orange county the registration is as follows: 58,452 Republicans, 49,986 Democrats, 64 Independent Progressives, 267 Prohibitionists, 3,570 declined to state, and 212 miscellaneous, for a grand total of 112,551 registered voters. THE GOP adherents increased by nearly a quarter of a million. Totals for the two parties now stand at 2,995,860 Democrats and 2,192,208 Republicans. But despite this apparent advantage of the former, it is interesting to note that the Republicans usually get most of the votes at the general elections. We have two Republican senators, Republican governor and lieutenant governor, Republican control of the legislature, and Republicans in most top state elective offices. The only Democrat to win against the GOP side was Attorney General WASHINGTON — Lobbying Washington ranges from suburbs dropped at cocktail parties to bald-faced, brazen campaign contributions. It can be ethical smelly. But the most unique lobby of all is now being conducted behalf of higher-priced toilet facilities in railroad stations, and lobbyists are none other than president's ex-counsel, Clark Ford, and the Democratic Senate from Delaware, Allen Frear. Both are interested in help the Pennsylvania railroad who wants to raise the legal price toilets from a nickel to a dime that end, Senator Frear has introduced an amendment to the W time Controls Act which has come known delicately as "toilet amendment." Frear's amendment is still under secret study by the Seminary Banking committee. However, would not only double the tax on rest-room facilities, but would let the Pennsylvania railroad do the hook for $385,245. Inside story is that the railroad is in a jam with the Office Price Stabilization for install dime slots on its pay toilet door. OPS opposed this increase; the railroad pleaded that it would cost $45,000 to reconvert the p toilet locks. OPS replied that locks had been installed after price freeze, so that the railroad acted at its own legal risk. In Orange county the registration is as follows: 58,452 Republicans, 49,986 Democrats, 64 Independent Progressives, 267 Prohibitionists, 3,570 declined to state, and 212 miscellaneous, for a grand total of 112,551 registered voters. ACCORDING to party labels, which don't mean much in this state, the Democrats still hold a big edge. But not as big as before. They lead the Republicans by more than 800,000 even after vantage of the former, it is interesting to note that the Republicans usually get most of the votes at the general elections. We have two Republican senators, Republican governor and lieutenant governor, Republican control of the legislature, and Republicans in most top state elective offices. The only Democrat to win against the GOP tide was Attorney General Pat Brown. Well, the important thing is not how many members of each party are registered but how many Americans actually vote. Whither the governor ... Conclusions reached by political observers in Sacramento are to the effect that Governor Earl Warren, GOP presidential candidate, at least for the nomination, would accept the vice-presidency if the post were again offered to him at the party convention. The governor, on a nation-wide radio program, said: "Honestly and frankly I do not seek the vice-presidency of the United States. I am seeking the presidential nomination. If I do not receive it, I will support the candidate that the convention nominated and I will be very happy to go back to my job as governor of California." Warren was of the same mind in 1948, when California sent her delegate to the convention to support Warren for president. After failing to receive the presidential nomination, he was "drafted" for the vice-presidency and turned out as running mate with Thomas E. Dewey, governor of New York. Governor Warren, however, did not say he would refuse the vice-presidential nomination if the same is offered to him. He had the same answer on the same program as to a cabinet post, but did not indicate either that he would refuse such a post if sought by whoever might be elected president. There is no doubt, however, that the governor's personal inclination in the event he should not be nominated president, would be to return to the governorship of California, as he has expressed this inclination many times both in public and in private. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago May 1877 Lots of Los Angeles folks are going to the Paris Exposition next year. A meeting of the stockholders in the Anaheim Water Company will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon. 25 Years Ago May 1927 Returning home Sunday evening from the California Scholarship Federation at Fresno, Tommy Kuchel and Martha Adams, president and vice president respectively of the Anaheim high school. In simple English, means that Congress always tends to exempt pay toilets away, and the effect of this phrase would be to knock out the government's $385,245 damage suit. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Road's 10-cent toilet are continuing to collect overcharges to a tune of $400 a day. TEA-DRINKING MORMON For a man who went through rough-and-tumble of getting eluted to the Senate, Arthur Watkinson let the Pennsylvania railroad hook for $385,245. Inside story is that the railroad is in a jam with the Office Price Stabilization for install dime slots on its pay toilet door. OPS opposed this increase, so the railroad pleaded that it would cost $45,000 to reconvert the pay toilet locks. OPS replied that locks had been installed after price freeze, so that the railroad acted at its own legal risk. Furthermore, Grand Central Station in New York City had up higher-priced turnstiles in pay washrooms one day before price freeze. However, those within the law, it changed by its locks and advanced to OPS ruling without an argument. 75 Years Ago May 1877 Lots of Los Angeles folks are going to the Paris Exposition next year. A meeting of the stockholders in the Anaheim Water Company will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon for the purpose of electing a board of trustees for the ensuing year. The facilities for shipping stock at the yards are very poor, and unless the corrals are enlarged and modified, very few cattle will be shipped from this point. Anaheim beer is becoming favorably known in Los Angeles. Mr. Hinde has been obliged to purchase a wagon especially to supply his customers at that point. Says the "Star": If "Bodine," "Raus," "Occident" and "Goldsmith Mald" come together, and it now seems they will, it will be the finest collection of trotters ever seen in the United States at one time. No course ever showed four such horses upon the same day. 50 Years Ago May 1902 J. S. Hatfield has completed his labors as census marshal of Anaheim school district and reports as follows: Boys between 5 and 19 years, 460; girls between 5 and 17 years, 200; total 785. Children under 5, 214. Total number of children in district, 949. Daily average attendance in public schools 467. Not attending school 114. Attending private schools 175. 25 Years Ago May 1927 Returning home Sunday evening from the California Scholarship Federation at Fresno, Tommy Kuchel and Martha Adams, president and vice president respectively of the Anaheim high school Honor Society brought back the results of an all day session of the federation. Gold was adopted as the color, "Scholarship for service" was taken as the motto. The federation was almost unanimous in favor of holding the next spring convention in Sacramento, at 1 o'clock. The students were separated into groups to talk over important questions. At the conclusion of these round table discussions the Fresno Honor Society gave a dance for students and a tea for faculty advisors. There were about 500 students present at the convention. With material collected at the convention the two officers of the local chapter will guide its activities to a higher standing, both scholastic and social, it is believed. Mr. H. Charles of Capistrano has started a large band of sheep for Nevada. The flock was thirty five miles beyond Los Angeles yesterday. Miss Martha Adams and Miss Florence Backs have been spending the week at Seal Beach as the guests of Mrs. Arthur Lewis. Mrs. Helen Perry of Santa Monica is at the home of her sister, Mrs. W. P. Quarton of North Claudina recuperating from an operation performed at a Glendale hospital several weeks ago. TEA-DRINKING MORMON For a man who went through rough-and-tumble of getting elected to the Senate, Arthur Watkins of Utah is quite a sensitive man. He is still smarting from the fact that while in Utah some months ago I told inquirers that where the other GOP Senator from Utah Wallace Bennett, had qualities statesmanship, Watkins was mediocrity. What worries him even more that his Mormon constituents will find out that he has been drinking tea and coffee. The ordinary person would think nothing of it, but to the Mormon church, of which Senator Watkins is a high priest, is against church law for him to drink tea or coffee. Despite this, Senator Flanders the GOP solon from Vermont came in the Senate lunchroom some time ago and found his priest Watkins with a pot of water at his elbow. "Aha!" exclaimed Flanders, tone of mock reproval in his voice. Abashed, the Senator from Utah explained that he was drinking tea for medicinal purposes. But from that time Watkins did not drink "medical" tea or coffee in public though there was evidence that he did so in the quiet of his office. For one day, he got aboard Senate elevator with a cup of coffee in his hand, only to find, much to his horror, that the elevator was a youngster from Utah-Hurriedly, the Senator from Utah-gulped down the coffee behi- HOW LONG CAN HOPE SPRING ETERNALLY THE REDS HAVE BOGGED DOWN THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS!

Arthur Watkins COUNTV COMMENT By GEORGE E. HART A noteworthy phenomenon will be observed in Orange county May 17. In the hubbub over Armed Forces Day, some people may overlook the much more significant civil spectacle in progress at the same time. At the courthouse group in Santa Ana, a few blocks from where blaring music and tromping feet will herald the destructive forces of war, a contrasting constructive movement will be under way. It merits far more attention than the other, for it is the amaz- MORE ABOUT ... On the Lam (Continued from Page 2) cream of the cinder greats of today.

And why. Needless to say, these are county employees, not federal. If you ever hear of anything like that at Washington — but why continue? May 17 will be D-Day, when Orange County Employees Association presents its "Know Your County Government" project, demonstrating machinery, processes and objectives of county government. It will be done mostly by exhibits in outdoor booths on the courthouse and annex ground, and in offices indoors. The employees not only are devoting their Saturday holiday to the event, they put up their own cash to help finance it. ONE OF THE demonstrations, voting, which will bring school children of the county into participation in a straw ballot on the June 3 candidates, could well become a regular election-year feature of immense public interest. We have always thought pretty well of Orange county government, and the leadership of Orange county employees in letting the public behind the scenes gives added reason for confidence in the conscientious conduct of our county affairs. Orange county employees were the first in state history, probably in the nation, to think of taking the public back stage. Their action has not gone unnoticed.

Other counties and cities are adopting the plan individually, and some will have representatives in Santa Ana May 17. San Diego county supervisors have ordered a full attendance of their board. The Orange county project has, in fact, been hailed across the nation. Fully half a hundred letters have been received from governors, senators and other notables. Vice-President Alben Barclay wrote a letter about it. FRANKLIN DAVIS, the retired U.S. immigration inspector in Santa Ana, tells some good stories about the service, but one of the best concerns traffic officers. An intoxicated motorist was overhaulled and stopped by a traffic cop on Coast highway below San Clemente late one afternoon. He was really plastered, his vision bleary. At the moment he was halted, a squadron of 50 Los Angeles traffic officers, mounted on motorcycles, swept along the highway on their way home from San Diego, where they had attended the funeral of a fellow officer. They saw the arrest being made and stopped to watch. The drunk finally managed to straighten up and turn his head to face the officer. He saw 51 officers. They say he never has taken a drink since.

Here Are Some Notes and Comments On What Goes On in Cinema Town By BOB THOMAS Hal Boyle ABILENE, Kas. (P)—This celebrated old cow town is looking forward with somewhat worried pride to the return next month of one of the local boys who made good. He used to work at the cremery here, where other employees taught him how to shoot craps. There wasn't much of a crowd at the railroad station to see him off when he went east, years ago. But Abilene, a town of about 7000 population, is expecting 50,000 to 100,000 visitors to help welcome back its favorite son—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Residents here aren't sure whether the event will tear the town apart. But it is no secret that most hope it will springboard "Ike" into a Republican presidential nomination. The biggest disaster that could happen hereabouts right now would be for a baby boy to be born with an "I like Taft" button in his tummy. During the two-day homecoming celebration starting June 4 General Eisenhower will lay the cornerstone for a museum to house his war trophies, address a throng in Eisenhower park, give a press conference and review a mammoth parade containing 36 floats symbolizing his career. HOLLYWOOD (P)—Notes and comment on the Hollywood scene: One of the main topics of conversation around town is the rumored shakeup at 20th Fox. Advance reports indicate it will be unique. In studio reorganization; top executives will be dropped, not merely press agents and secretaries. Adding fuel to the reports is the fact that studio boss Darryl Zanuck took off for parts with little notice. Presumably the ax will fall during his absence. There are many theories as to why the shakeup is due. Most critics agree that 20th-Fox puts out the best pictures of any studio in town. But apparently box office receipts have not matched critical acclaim. One reason may be that the pictures cast too much; 20th-Fox has never gone overboard on the economy slashes that have been evident at most other studios in recent years. Heres my own guess as to what the outcome will be. I think there will be an increase of musical activity at the lot. The 20th-Fox output has not been too strong in the musical vein. About the only song-and-dance stars at the studio are Betty Grable, Dan Dalléy, June Haver and Mitzi Gaynor. Contrast this with MGM's huge list of musical performers. OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER WELL, THE generals are back in the news again, for sure. General Ridgway is jumping to Europe. General Clark has jumped to Tokyo. General Eisenhower is preparing to jump into the White House. General MacArthur has decided to jump down from his Olympian heights to address the Michigan State legislature. General Dodd gets captured by a bunch of communist POWs on Koje island, off Korea. General Colson is fired as commandant of that island. General Boatner takes his place. General Confusion seems to be the only one capable of retaining his post. This, of course, is but one person's opinion, but I will venture to state that the peoples of the world pay more attention to the actions and utterances of United States generals than they do to our foremost political and religious leaders. The time has long since gone when a president of the United States or a secretary of state could wield influence in world affairs without the backing of powerful military forces and horrible secret weapons. IT IS A SORRY commentary on the state of human relations that right now—as we pause at the threshold of a shining new era of scientific attainment—we must about right now would be for a baby boy to be born with an "I like Taft" button in his tummy. During the two-day homecoming celebration starting June 4 General Eisenhower will lay the cornerstone for a museum to house his war trophies, address a throng in Eisenhower park, give a press conference and review a mammoth parade containing 36 floats symbolizing his career. "Ike" definitely has replaced Wild Bill Hickok as the Number One hero of Abilene. Hickok was the peace officer who brought law and order to the town in the wild and woolly days when it was America's top cattle shipping center and its saloons outnumbered its business houses. Summarizing home town sentiment for Eisenhower, Charles M. Harger, 89-year-old publisher of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle, said: "If you want to know how the people here feel about Ike, go out on the street and call him a bad name—and see how quick something happens to you." ABOVE THE MAIN street floats a giant sign saying: "Eisenhower For President." It has fallen down, or been blown down, four times since last November. Now it is firmly cabled to two banks. "We've spent $150 to keep that sign up," said Henry B. Jameson, young newspaper executive here who served as a war correspondent with Eisenhower's forces in Europe. "It'll stay up now even if the bank walls fall down." Despite the sign, Jameson, one of the committee members in charge of the Eisenhower celebration, said that "his welcome home is not set up on a political basis. We have Democrats on the committee." The planners are expecting at least 10 state governors for the festivities. Among the scores of special trains will be two from Texas—one containing 115 Texans, the other containing the horses they will ride in the pa HERES my own guess as to what the outcome will be. I think there will be an increase of musical activity at the lot. The 20th-Fox output has not been too strong in the musical vein. About the only song-and-dance stars at the studio are Betty Grable, Dan Dailey, June Haver and Mitzi Gaynor. Contrast this with MGM's huge list of musical performers. The MGM formula may well be copied by other companies. That lot has studiously built up a roster of stars, directors, dance directors and musicians who can turn out a steady stream of musical entertainment. The results have been such box office winners as "Show Boat," "The Great Caruso," "'An American in Paris" and "Singing in the Rain." ITS THE END of an era or something. I mean the news that Tyrone Power is leaving his exclusive contract with 20th-Fox. He had been the king of the lot for more than 15 years, longer than any other star has remained there. The new deal calls for only two more pictures in the next two years. The reason for the break is simple: Ty can make more moola elsewhere. He goes right to Universal-International where he'll be drawing 50 per cent of the profits on the picture he makes. Incidentally, Ty's schedule is a real change of pace. First he makes "Mississippi Gambler" for U-I. Then he returns to 20th-Fox for the Biblical drama, "The Robe." That reminds me of a story Alan Mowbray tells to illustrate how he'll accept any film offer. He had been working for weeks with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh in "That Hamilton Woman." Then Mowbray reported to Columbia to play support in a Three Stooges comedy! STEWART GRANGER'S film schedule includes "Scaramouche," "Prisoner of Zenda," "Beau Brummel" and other oldtime epics. It looks as though MGM aims to make him braver than Errol when a president of the United States or a secretary of state could wield influence in world affairs without the backing of powerful military forces and horrible secret weapons. IT IS A SORRY commentary on the state of human relations that right now—as we pause at the threshold of a shining new era of scientific attainment—we must bend our greatest efforts towards things military. I will never forget a lecture I heard as a green Army recruit The lieutenant conducting the class was bringing home the point that the military was far superior to the civilian way of doing things. As an example, he cited a fire in a theatre, where panic resulted, the audience turning into a frenzied mob. But, he said, under similar circumstances a group of soldiers would instinctively react to orders, form into a "column of twos" and march out of the building in an orderly manner. The lieutenant, however, failed to mention the possibility that the officer giving the order (being human and subject to panic himself) might give the wrong order and march his men back-stage instead of toward the exit. Therein lies the fallacy of unbending military control. Let us be thankful that under our system of government we are able to maintain a transcendency of the civil over the military, and let us hope that nothing ever will arise to throw that comfortable state of affairs into imbalance. HILLSBORO, Ore. (P) — Gov. Earl Warren of California, continuing his appeal for votes in the Oregon primary, renewed his plea today for party harmony in the Republican presidential campaign. The planners are expecting at least 10 state governors for the festivities. Among the scores of special trains will be two from Texas—one containing 115 Texans, the other containing horses they will ride in the parade. Some 700 peace officers from all parts of Kansas will be brought here to handle trafle. One of the more delicate issues involved is how long General Eisenhower plans to remain in this first visit home. “Naturally, we want him to stay on as long as he can,” said one resident, and added dubiously: “But I don’t see how the town can handle the crowds for more than two days.” The mecca of most visitors here is Ike’s old family home. The Eisenhower boys turned it over to the Eisenhower foundation after the death of their mother in 1946. It has been kept just as she left it. Her dust cap still hangs from a rocking chair in the room in which she died. On the wall of the second floor bedroom where Eisenhower slept as a boy is hung the old-fashioned motto: “Thy Will Be Done.” J. Earl Endacott, executive director of the Eisenhower foundation, said 100,000 people had visited the home in recent years. They came from every state of the union and 76 foreign countries. “One of them,” remarked Endacott, “was an ex-cannibal from a South Sea island.” Just how he became an Ike fan nobody knows. But in Abilene today it's enough to be an Eisenhower supporter. You don't have to explain your past.
