THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BEELER Assistant Publisher LEONARD KREIDT City Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager G.E. NELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager OBN YOUNG Circulation Manager Berlin booby trap... If Russia tries to take over Berlin, she'll be at war with the U.S. right then and there. Secretary of State Acheson made that plain last week when he told Berliners in a public address: "We shall remain in Berlin until we are satisfied that the freedom of the city is secure. We shall regard any attack on Berlin as an attack against ourselves." Perhaps, as history has so crazily developed these last few years, the pistol-cocking stand expressed by Mr. Acheson is the only feasible position for this nation to take at this time. We dare not, now, as champion of world freedom in the global crisis, abandon Berlin to the communists—and we dare not submit to being run out at the point of a Russian bayonet. We're stuck, so to say, at sticking in Berlin—caught in the booby trap fashioned so irrationally by Acheson's predecessors in matters when they coupled insistence on an American garrison in Berlin with no provision whatever for a corridor of free access! We seem irrevocably committed to Berlin—so much so that even the constitutional responsibility of Congress for declaring war has been abridged by circumstance. There would be no time for that in case of attack. The trap is set—in case Stalin chooses to spring it. The Army way... "There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not; the way of an eagle in the air; the way of government upon a document." CHICAGO...There have been two important changes in two leading Republican candidates in recent years. Eisenhower started out as aeral and has become more conservative, while Taft started out conservative and has become liberal. Today on domesticity the two men are not too apart, though if anything might be a little to the left of what happened to Eisenhower was that he came back to country a military hero in with no understanding of economic or domestic problems and slowly thereafter was thrown into contact with the economic royalty of the United States—including Winthrop Aldrich of the C bank, and Tom Watson of L national Business Machines. Came from a poor farm family Kansas that couldn't afford send him to college. But from New York friends he absorbed completely new economic philosophy. Taft, on the other hand, came from a family that put one great father as ambassador to Russia, elected one President the United States, and owns its stockes, real estate, and a Cinnati newspaper. It being most impossible for Taft to move any farther to the right, he moved, if anything, a little to left. Ike's Economic Creed When Eisenhower first came back to the United States after V-E Day, he shocked some of The Army way... "There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, follir which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid."—Proverbs. This week the U.S. Army, which has a way of its own, changed a custom that has been observed through no one knows how many years and wars. This is the custom of issuing steel combat helmets to the "chair-borne" corps—the troops who do the office work, far from the scenes of battle. From now on, these soldiers will be heavily armed with equipment suitable for effective operation in their field of duty—filling cabinets, calculators, typewriters, etc. But the helmet issue, which has been costing over a million dollars a year, finally is being abandoned. "There be three things to wonderful for me, yea, four which I known not . . ." Yea, five! The age of reason ... It is of interest when a war veteran rises in opposition to the fairly popular notion that the voting age should be lowered to 18 in recognition of the realistic achievements of U.S. youth in Korea—the notion that a man old enough to stand in battle is old enough to vote. Says this veteran, David L. Roscoe of Santa Monica, in a letter to a newspaper: "I'm all for our fighting men. But . . . our male citizens should not be given a hand in running, a business as complex and serious as the government until they have passed the hot-rod, sword-swallowing, panty-slelling age in which they are emotionally unstable." Mm-m-m-m. At just what age does the male citizen emerge from this "emotional unstable" era of immaturity? Is it when he is an old grad of Cal., USC or Stanford, and comes home by thousands to enter the delirium of Big Game week? That's when management of the big hotels in San Francisco and L.A. hide the rugs and furniture, check on their property damage insurance—and pray. Is it when the citizen becomes a delegate to a national convention of his lodge—and drops water-filled bags from 10th story windows and generally turns the town upside down? There may be sound reasons for withholding the vote from teenagers—but the argument that they raise too much irresponsible tax doesn't hold by itself. If all citizens of all ages were to be disfranchised for makingools of themselves on occasion, we just wouldn't have our beloved democracy any more. It would die from running clean out of characters emotionally qualified to vote! IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL Russia, elected one President to the United States, and owns fifty stocks, real estate, and a Cincinnati newspaper. It being most impossible for Taft to move any further to the right, he moved, if anything, a little to the left. Ike's Economic Creed When Eisenhower first came back to the United States after V-E Day, he shocked some of his Republican friends. Talking with Russell Davenport of Life magazine, Gen. Ed Clark, John G. Bettel, and Russell Forgan of Glore-Forgam brokerage firm, he proposed the idea that business make no profit from defense contracts. This brought immediate protests. "General," reminded Bennner, "you pulled the furniture down your head once before at the st., club when you proposed the idea, and you will do it again you take that stand. It's contrary to the free-enterprise system." Ike glowered. "Yes," interposed broker Fergan, "if John hadn't called you on that, I would have." Eisenhower argued that a man's life is more important than corporate profits and when you ask a boy to sacrifice his life at witch it's only fair to ask a corporation to sacrifice its profit. "You can't sell that to the Republican party," his friends warned him. And in the end I agreed he would compromise by taking a stand for a "fair return on investments." Progressive Republican?? And gradually, as the generals has been exposed to his more conservative political friends, he has drifted away from his old position of a moderate liberal. In 1948, when the Democrat were trying to persuade Ike to run on their ticket, Ike luncheon with the late Harold Ickes who began his political life as a Roosevelt bull-mooser. In reply to question about his political views, Eisenhower told Ickes: "I think you know my brother Milton (a former agricultural official under Henry Wallace and now president of Penn State). My views are about the same as his." IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago June 1877 At least 1000 tons of hay will be sold from Westminster this season. Another band of cattle from Santa Margarita ranch is on its way to Anaheim depot for shipment to San Francisco. A horse was stolen from Peter Eschelbach on Monday night. There are evidently some parties hereabout who require a hempen elevation. On Monday night as Capt. P. Granet was returning home from his place of business he had the misfortune to step on a small piece of board, which caused him to slip and fall heavily upon his shoulder, dislocating it. He was immediately attended by Dr. Ellis and is now in a fair way to recover. It is either a feast or a famine with one legal fraternity. Yesterday all hands were employed in the case of the People vs J. C. Clark, charged with threatening to take the life of Mr. Burroughs. 50 Years Ago June 1902 Four hundred people attended the United Confederate Veterans picnic at the county park some days ago. Horace Head of Fullerton delivered an address on "The Life and Deeds of Jefferson Davis." A feature of the program was the exercise given by 13 young girls representing the 13 Confederate states. Mrs. Montgomery read a poem on the "Cross of Honor." In the afternoon an address was delivered by Rev. R. R. Raymond. Brief talks were made by W. L. Yantis, R. B. Guthrie and T. C. Welch, the day closing with reminiscenes of the war and the singing of old time songs. Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Heiman of Los Angeles who are touring Europe write friends in town that they were recently guests of Mr. and Mrs. Pamperl formerly of this city, at their home in Austria. Ike Williams of Buena Park came to town on Saturday to invest in a new hat. "I think you know my brother Milton (a former agricultural official under Henry Wallace and now president of Penn State). My views are about the same as his I am a progressive Republican." But later, in New York, and under the steady drum-beat of political advisers who have urged Ike to out-Taft Taft, the general has shifted steadily toward the conservative side. Taft, on the other hand, started out in the Senate against aid to education, against federal housing, and against the federal medical bill. He has shifted ground on all three. In the end he championed federal aid to education, wrote the public housing act which the real estate lobby now brands socialistic, and for a time worked on a modified medical bill. Taft, it is true, has shifted his position so many times on so many policies that it is hard to know exactly where he does stand. In a recent debate with Senator Kefauver, for instance, he had some kind words for the point 4 program of aid to underdeveloped areas. "But why did you vote against it then?" asked Kefauver. Difference Between Ike and Taft However, there is one basic policy on which Taft has never really shifted—foreign affairs. And that is the basic difference between the two leading Republican THE ASSISTANT WORRIER GOP CONVENTION MORRIS Ike's Economic Creed in Eisenhower first came to the United States after he shocked some of his EV-RADIOLOGIC Lucille Norman Reports On First Night Club Job By TOM E. DANSON HOLLYWOOD—Lovely Lucille Norman, the gal whose personality is just as sweet and wholesome as her voice (and the latter is mighty good!), just returned here from a very successful two weeks engagement at the Last Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev., her first night club job. Incidentally, she was so well liked, that a future offer has been made for her return, which will probably be in September, according to Lucille. Her return will put her in the headline billing instead of on a co-star basis. When asked how she liked working her first night club appearance, Lucille said, "I loved it!" However, we turned day into night, which was a new experience for me. Las Vegas is really fun, if you want to go out and really have yourself a ball—that's the place to do it! I asked Lucille what she thought of audience reaction in a club. candidates. There can be no question about Eisenhower's stand on foreign policy. Li kewise there can be no question about Taft's. Despite what either may say, they are diametrically opposed. The record speaks for itself. Before Pearl Harbor, Taft fought every single defense measure. If congress had followed his leadership we would have been so miserably prepared that the Axis could hardly have been defeated. compared to her radio audiences, and she replied: "They were wonderful to me. However, I had one very exciting experience—and of all things—on opening night during the very first number." She hesitated a moment, then asked, "Can you print anything about a drunk?" She got an affirmative answer, so she continued: "I was very excited, waiting to go on—in fact, so excited I couldn't hear anyone in the audience, where this inebriate, who had just been married that afternoon, was really sounding off. "All of a sudden the owner-manager, Jake Kosloff, stepped onto the floor, raising his hand, asking that the show be stopped and the curtain drawn. At this time I was petrified wondering what I had done wrong, for I had just completed the first number." Our vocallovely gave a cute little giggle and continued with, "As the curtain closed, I stepped out in front of it into the middle of the floor, to see this paralyzed character being carried out with cheering support of the entire house. After that, everything was better than ever, for the incident seemed to break the ice with everybody." Television is in Lucille's mind, with her thoughts leaning toward a series of musical stories, and she would prefer it on film, rather than "live." She pointed out that a problem at present stands in the way of such a program which involves ailing television. Affairs of S By HENRY C.

This is the greatest convention coverage in history, with newspapers, radio and television going full force. Regular programming on radio and TV stations is now taking the "back seat" and it is next to impossible to try to list these shows under our regular heading of TELE-TIPS and DIAL-LITES. The POLI-TIP segment of the column will therefore replace the two above mentioned sections for the next few days. Tonight's telecasting of the convention is about the same as that for last night, with KNXT (2) starting at 6 p.m., to be followed by KTLA (5), KECA (7) and KNBH (4) at 6:30 p.m. All of these channels carry on until approximately 9 o'clock unless something special happens which would require additional coverage. TO-MORROW... Coverage starts again on KNXT (2 at 7 a.m., on KNBC (4) at 7:30 followed by KECA (7), who breaks in at 9:30 house.

Copyright, 1952, by Universal and TV Features Syndicate Hal Boyle CHICAGO. (AP)—Dear Trellis Mae. Well, honey, the Republican convention menu right now is political smorgasbord. It is a banquet of bitterness, cynicism, faith, pistitudes, principles, hope, ambition and yearning. It is a reach for politicians to get the support of the right people and a reach for the right people to settle on the right politician—one who can lead them to rainbow victory over 20 years in the political dark. I guess what everybody would like most here is a good dependable oulja board. But in politics there doesn't seem to be any reliable compass, and if there is an oulja board in town The incoming reservoir on the first floor is large enough to accommodate normal traffic. Gas dispensing pumps and overhead reels containing air, water and oil are adjacent to the north wall, to provide service from the alley, or within the building. Four wash racks are on the ground floor, and one on each of the other floors. Six lubrication stalls, complete with twin post hoists and overhead high pressure lubrication reels, will service adequately, says a description of the building, all state automobiles in the Sacramento area. The shop area of the garage will provide maintenance and repair of common minor automobile troubles. The garage has installed a dynamometer, which is described as a testing tool which duplicates nearly all road driving conditions. the Democrats are saving it for their convention. I can't decide yet whether this is actually a political convention, a college homecoming, or a civil war. It is kind of all three rolled into one—with the candidates making faces at each other, and teen-age supporters running back and forth with rival banners and yelling "yean team!" The two biggest questions are: (1) "Who ya for?" (2) "Who d'ya think'll really get it?" The convention headquarters are in the Conrad Hilton hotel, a kind of civilian Pentagon. It is so huge there is a report one bachelor delegate got into an elevator in the lobby with a young lady — and by the time they reached his floor he felt he had known her so long he up and proposed marriage. The hotel is crowded from dawn until midnight with the two types of people you find at every convention—those who have something to do, and those just come to view.

MacARTHUR Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Probably many a private garage owner struggling to make a living and keep up with his taxes will drip with envy should he have opportunity to see the car palace the taxpayers have provided for the State of California, to the tune of $1,700,000 capital outlay and not counting upkeep. The new garage, more than a year in the building, was opened recently to state cars and the service to be provided the state employees who use it, is being touted as "the best in the west." The structure covers an entire half block, and can house about 700 automobiles, which state officials say probably is space enough at the present time for the state cars which are in and out of Sacramento every day. It is a four-story building, with parking space on the roof. The garage is so designed that state employees desiring to travel in a hurry, won't be kept waiting. Attendants, officials said, can get a car to the front door within three minutes after it is called for, from any part of the building. An inter-communicating system consists of two 50-watt amplifiers, control console, 11 sub-stations, 20 call-in locations and 48 speakers, all of which are controlled by a dispatcher in the central office of the huge building. Aside from storage, the garage will be equipped to provide complete preventative maintenance to the state automotive fleet, and day-to-day service station attention.
