THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAK BESLER LEONARD KREIDT MEIL STANLEY R. E. MELLEN HALPH PROULAND DON YOUNG Publisher Assistant Publisher Advertising Manager Classified Advertising Manager Circulation Manager An Anaheimer Comes Back... The New York Times sports columnist, Arthur Daly, recently had an article about an Anaheimer, Hal Gregg. Here is what Mr. Daly said: STORY OF FRUSTRATION The Dodgers were going nowhere with great rapidity during the 1943 season and Branch Rickey was experimenting with one untried youngster after another in desperate efforts to halt the downhill slide. Nothing seemed to work. Then one day Leo Durocher breezed into the Mahatma's office. "Let's back up the truck at Montreal," cheerfully suggested the Dandy Little Manager, "and bring in a new load." So the Brooks figuratively backed up the truck at Montreal, their main farm team, and brought back two scared kids. One was Hal Gregg and the other was Rex Barney, each 6-foot-3 and 100 pounds, each strong enough to throw a ball through a brick wall back was bothering him and he was getting nowhere anyway. So he devoted his time to his orange-growing business at Anaheim and everyone forgot about him. There was one exception, though. He was Marter Melvin Ott, the Oakland manager. Visit From the Boss One day this spring the one-time Boy Wonder of the Giants was driving through Anaheim when he suddenly remembered he was in Gregg's home town and that Gregg was the property of the Oaks. Ottie dropped in for a visit and left with Hal's promise to return to baseball. It was one of the best hunches Master Melvin ever had. The big right-hander with the still-blazing fast ball burned up the Pacific Coast league. He won eight in a row and had a record of 10 and 2 when Durocher whisked his former problem child back to the big leagues and the Giants. WASHINGTON—Ike no longer has less gloom and Eisenhower headquarters. Managers, once in the doldrums now look happier, think Ike made inroads on Taft delegation. A total of 75 is the number he thinks he has wooed and won; general himself is still suffering from a split personality. Sometimes he veers to one policy, sometimes to another. Perhaps there because he knows that to win nomination he has to be conscientious enough to please the Republicans; yet to get elected he must be liberal enough to plea Democrats... Ike claims he not want to know what his son is doing. (Sometimes this would be a lot better off if did know). He even said he did know what the good news that Senator Lodge brought to the other day, though a lot other people knew it was the port of Michigan's potent Art Summerfield, which may swamp the large Michigan delegation. Mamie Eisenhower, complete new politics and expected be difficult, has been just the opposite. She's cooperated with photographers, newsmen... also has done everything his managers have asked, continues in excellent spirits. IKE AND PRESS—If Elsehow is nominated it won't through any fault of his star. They have pulled in opposite directions, differed on policies, made important clues... One man boner caused Arthur Vandenbeek Jr., son of the late great senator to turn in his resignation. Hoever it was withdrawn and "Let's back up the truck at Montreal," cheerfully suggested the Dandy Little Manager, "and bring in a new load." So the Brooks figuratively backed up the truck at Montreal, their main farm team, and brought back two scared kids. One was Hal Gregg and the other was Rex Barney, each 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, each strong enough to throw a ball through a brick wall. They were big, handsome kids, with Gregg a 21-year-old and Barney only 18. Nervously they stood before Rickey. "Nothing to worry about, boys," he assured them. "Just relax and get acclimated. I imagine Leo won't want to start you for a week or so." The Mahatma imagined wrong. Durocher, as impatient as a little boy with two shiny new toys, gave each of them a start that very afternoon in a double-header. How they could throw! Neither knew where the ball was going but they scorched the Flintbush air with their fast balls. Here was raw talent at its most impressive best. Bitter Disappointments Every year the raves would emerge from training camp about Barney and Gregg or about Gregg and Barney. These were the heavenly Twins, Walter Johnson doubled in spades. Such was the promise of each that they would have been rated as $100,000 prospects in the present bonus market. Gregg was the fastest pitcher since Bobby Feller and Barney was faster than Gregg. Gregg was the first to show promise of achieving the greatness destined for him when he won eighteen games in 1945, in the early part of which year Barney was driving a tank toward Berlin. Then Rex clicked in 1948 with a no-hit game and fifteen victories from mid-season on. These were not just sure-snot twenty-game winners the Brooks had. They were thirty-game winners—or so it seemed. But there just wasn't any improvement. The natural talent was thicker but neither boy could harness it properly and get control. It was one of the best hunches Master Melvin ever had. The big right-hander with the still-blazing fast ball burned up the Pacific Coast league. He won eight in a row and had a record of 10 and 2 when Durocher whisked his former problem child back to the big leagues and the Giants. Gregg started against the Pirates the other night. Except too one pitch, which Gus Bell tagged for a jackpot home run, Hal looked rather good. He wasn't quite so fast as he was when he and Barney first fired the ball pass enemy hitters, but he had learned control and also learned to keep the ball low. The Little Shepherd of Coogan's Bluff is hoping that Gregg will be the "find" of 1952 just as Al Corwin was last year and Jim Hearn the season before. It's still much too early for any predictions. But it would indeed be ironic if Gregg, a poignant disappointment at Brooklyn, should muse to the Giants past the Brooks for the pennant. If this experiment succeeds, Leo the Lip probably will reach out for Barney at a corresponding time next year. Few pitchers ever seemed more richly endowed with natural talent than those Heavenly Twins of nine years ago, Ha Gregg and Rex Barney. More Than 350 Attend Benefit The kickoff breakfast Sunday at the Stanton Lions Community clubhouse, a benefit for the new Stanton Red Cross canteen, given jointly by the Savanna civil defense unit and Lions club was more than a success with the 19 canteen graduates serving ham and eggs to 250 guests. This is the largest group that have participated in such a function in the Stanton area. Mrs. Florence Black, chairmar of the party and personnel officer of the defense unit and canteen, has just tabulated the visit and left with Hal's promise to return to baseball. IKE AND PRESS—If Elsehower is nominated it won't through any fault of his star They have pulled in opposite sections, differed on policies, made important clues... One man boner caused Arthur Vandenbeek Jr., son of the late great senator to turn in his resignation. However, it was withdrawn, and he end, the boner turned out to... This was the private luncheon held by Washington trained seals—Charles Lucey Scripps-Howard, Bert Andrews and the New York Herald-Tribune Scotty Reston of New York Times, Fred Collins of Providence Journal, et al... No way services, no networks, no new magazines were invited. Natural they hit the ceiling... Hard Luce, Time-Life publisher, hearing about the off-the-record lunch remarked to Palmer Hoyt of Denver Post: "I'll call up my man, Ed Darby, and find out what happened." But his man, Darby had been barred Naturally, Lucie a strong Ike-man, wasn't happy... The ensuing storm from those who were snubbed gave the lunch-econ more headlines than if Ike had made a speech. His speed would have cost money for radios and TV time. Jealousy between newsmen costs nothing. FRANTIC CONGRESS.—During the hot-weather-hot temper wind-up of Congress, Senator Humphrey of Minnesota got into a backstage tiff with Majority Leader McFarland of Arizona, told him his leadership "stunk," that he was letting McCarran of Novada run the Senate... Most lobbyists took a licking when the Senate and House conferees locked themselves up to iron out the controls bill, Senator Maybank of South Carolina took the lead in plugging loopholes the lobbyists had driven in the House bill... One lobbyist, Al Payne of the real estate crowd, kept constant vigil outside the conference door buttonholing legislators as they came out. In the end, several rent control loopholes remained in the bill. driving a tank toward Berlin. Then Rex clicked in 1948 with a no-hit game and fifteen victories from mid-season on. These were not just sure-snot twenty-game winners the Brooks had. They were thirty-game winners—or so it seemed. But there just wasn't any improvement. The natural talent was there but neither boy could harness it properly and get control. The Brooks gave up on Gregg first. Rickey traded big Hal to the Pirates along with Vic Lombardi and Dixie Walker for Billy Cox, Gene Mauch and—this almost was an afterthought—a fellow named Preacher Roe. Exit the Other Twin Barney lingered a few years more, a perpetual disappointment. Then he was shipped to the minors to learn control. He didn't learn it, there, either. When last heard from him was win St. Paul, still needing a map in order to learn the location of home plate. At Pittsburgh the other member of the firm, Gregg, did nothing. He faded back to the minors. But he did have an excuse that the healthier Barney lacked. Right from the start he had been troubled with a bad back. As a younger in California, he had worked in a feed mill, losing around 160-pound sacks of grain. He hoisted up as many as thirty tons a day and strained his back beyond his strength. Such was his injury that he never did get into service, the armed forces turning him down repeatedly. Last year he quit baseball altogether in disgust and despair. His en jointly by the Savanna civil defense unit and Lions club was more than a success with the 19 canteen graduates serving ham and eggs to 350 guests. This is the largest group that have participated in such a function in the Stanton area. Mrs. Florence Black, chairmar of the party and personnel officer of the defense unit and canteen, has just tabulated the results of the benefit for the defense council and revealed that the proceeds have been distributed as follows: Authorized Red Cross canteen service, uniforms are being purchased by the council for the canteen members, a substantial donation was made to the Lions club to President Royal C. Marten, toward their building fund, in return for the Lions allowing their club and equipment to be used by the canteen, the remainder of the proceeds has been added to the Savanna civil defense general fund for community disaster relief. The council and canteen chairman Mrs. Marjorie McBratney wish to publicly thank the following donors who made the affair so profitable by donating eggs, strawbreries, dairy products, etc. The following: McMahan's Furniture Co., Sandy's market, Baroldi Dairy farms, Wiltsey dairy, Excelsior dairy, Adrian Lee Wolfert, Carl M. Jameson, Paul Pletz, Dan Shozi, Ken Doi, George Nakanishi. Bill Asawa, Henry and George Sawada, Prentice Martin, Ralph Martin, 4-B ranch, Eimer Harrings, Charles COMBAT BONUS—The extra pay for GI's in front-line trenches proposed by this columnist two years ago, passed the Senate OK, but got stymied in the House by Carl Vinson of Georgia and Dewey Short of Missouri . . . It calls for a combat bonus in Korea similar to that paid in World War II, also similar to that paid to submarine crews and airmen for extra risk . . . Byrd of Virginia also helped stop the bonus, but Senators Monroney of Oklahoma, Long of Louisiana and Moody of Michigan are making a last desperate effort to pass it . . . Despite opposition by Southern coal operators, Chairman Graham Barden of North Carolina has been pushing the mine-safety bill. The members of his labor committee who opposed are four Republicans—Gwinn, N.Y.; Wint Smith, Kans.; Morton, Ky.; Werdel, Calif. Also three Democrats—Wood, Ga.; Lucas, Texas; Tackett, Ark. Reggs. S.

THE FIREWORKS DOESN'T ALL GO OFF ON THE JULY 7TH CONVENTION MORRIS TV-RADIOLOGIC and features the popul TV-RADIOLOGIC 'New Radio Show Is Fun,' Says Star, Spring Byington By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—In talking with Spring Byington the other day, I was impressed with the fact that here was a little lady, charming and gracious, who has a spirit as gay and bubbly as her first name. With more than 75 Hollywood films chalked up to her credit, this veteran performer caught my fancy when she explained: "Tom, I'm just a work-horse. The busier I am, the happier I am. Right now I'm having lots of fun doing the new C.B.S. Radio 'December Bride' series on Sundays, which Mr. Parke Levy created for me." As most radio listeners know, Spring Byington made her debut, one of her first real excursions into the radio medium, a white back, as the modern mother-in-law, Lily Ruskin in the new series. "You know," she said. "I love this program, I really do, and the wonderful reviews thrilled me. Our director, Parke Levy, and the rest of the cast including Doris Singleton and Hal March, playing my daughter and son-in-law Ruth and Matt Henshaw, have all worked so hard in getting 'December Bride' under way. I'm so glad the program has proven a success, for their sake as well as mine." Pausing for a moment, she then continued with a rush of words: "Oh, I forgot to mention tians Conreld! He's wonderful as Pete, I like him even though he does play a mother-in-law hater on our show." Spring, a native of Colorado Springs, has been trouping since she was 14 years old. THE EXTRA BONUS—The extra bills in front-line trenches pay this columnist two passes the Senate OK, symmetrically in the House by the Georgia and Dewey Missouri. It calls that bonus in Korea simply paid in World War II. To that paid to sub-aways and airmen for extras. Byrd of Virginia also the bonus, but Sen. Roney of Oklahoma, Louisiana and Moody are making a last desert to pass it. Deception by Southern coal Chairman Graham North Carolina has been mine-safety bill. The his labor committee are four Republican N.Y.; Wint Smith, Barton, Ky.; Werdel, three Democrats—Lucas, Texas; Tackett, E. Benson, Paul Clark, Carr, F. C. Atzet, Guy Stantman Bros., W. Burzahn, Norman Spragg, Lee Smith. DOWN TV-RADIO ROW... Sherman Billingsley's daughter, Jacqueline, is now "Carla Perry" on "The Strange Romance of Evelyn Winters". The Alan Youngs are expecting ... Joel Kupperman will soon reach the age limit and graduate from the "Quiz Kids" whose age limit is 16... Bette Davis may do a TV series based on the life story of a noted woman lawyer ... New York is taking to western and hillbilly music ... More independent theaters are biting the dust this program has proven a success, for their sake as well as mine." PAusing for a moment, she then continued with a rush of words "Oh, I forgot to mention tians Conreid! He's wonderful as Petc, I like him even though he does play a mother-in-law hater on our show." Spring, a native of Colorado Springs, has been trouping since she was 14 years old. She's toured with stock, played modern comedy and Shakespeare on the New York stage, and finally came to roost in Hollywood when she was brought here in 1933 to work in the "Little Women" film. Spring has stayed on ever since, working steadily for every picture studio in town. She still lives in the Hollywood Hills home she bought when she first arrived here. Her close friends are actors Charles Coburn and Boulah Bondi. She likes entertaining them at her home, but prefers going to their because, as she puts it: "I don't have to worry about dinner dishes." IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Ansheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 25 Years Ago June 1927 Citizen of Early Days Gather at City Park for a Reunion Picnic The second annual reunion and picnic of Pioneers of Anaheim gathered at the City park on Saturday as guests of Mother Colony chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. Hundreds of the old-timers who had not seen each other for years met and shook hands over the abysm of fleeting time that has sped into history. While the old-timers were still engaged in making away with the delicious lunch, the voice of the toastmaster, Fayette Lewis grandson of the last remaining one of the original Pioneers, was heard advising that the time had come for considering the interesting program that was to follow. Fayette graduated from the high school here and later from Berkeley. We have had many good boys grow up in Anaheim and Fayette stands well up at the head of them all. Mrs. Frances Mosseman, 92, with her daughters, Misses Clara and Adele Mosseman and Mrs. Arthur Lewis came early. She is the last remaining Pioneer of that hardy band of men and women who located this colony in 1857.
