DANSON HOLLYWOOD — Climaxing more than five months of negotiations, the entire Mark Twain library has been acquired by Filmcraft Productions from the estate of Samuel L. Clemens, Isidore Lindebaum, president and executive producer of the video film firm, announced during this last weekend, Including 36 major works, 250 articles, 2300 published letters and several thousand unpublished letters and material, the deal giving Filmcraft the exclusive TV and radio rights to the properties is one of the first of its kind for the new medium. The material will be used by Filmcraft in a new, high-budget; prestige video film series to be titled "The Mark Twain Televi- In the days of long ago from the Files of Anaheim Gazette by Mrs. Henry Kuchel The material will be used by Filmcraft in a new, high-budget, prestige video film series to be titled "The Mark Twain Television Theater." To be produced and distributed by Filmcraft, the series is planned as a top quality presentation to be written and directed Hollywood's foremost scenarists and directors, F. H. Godor, executive in charge of production, revealed. Negotiations for the noted properties were completed in New York by Lindenbaum, who is in Manhattan for meetings with network and agency TV executives. Clara Samossaud, daughter of Clemens, and Thomas Chamberlain and Maurice Cheyette, of the Hanover bank of New York and co-trustees of the Clemens Mill, represented the Twain estate in the negotiations. The deal was set through the William Morris office with Howard Hausman and George Gruskin representing the agency in New York, and Charles Straus and Morris Stoller in Hollywood. Lindentrum and Fodor acted for Filmcraft. TV's Kathi Norris who also stars on radio's "Escape With Me" and "Andbody Home," says her radio and TV viewers are almost as interested in her expected child as she is. Although the baby isn't due until the middle of this month, Kathi has received close to 7000 suggestions for naming her child. Among the girls' names, Karen and Linda are the most frequently suggested. If it's a boy, most of Kathi's fans want her to call him either Jeffrey or West Point."

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ... Scientists say most folks dream in technicolor. Some also add sound effects! Copyright, 1952, by Universal Radio and TV Features Syndicate IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL luminosity, moving at high speed... "The object hovered motionless in the air, above a house." I would think this would be very reassuring to the Air Force officers in Washington who are collecting data on the Saucers and trying to explain them. Major Gen. Roger M. Ramey said that other day about one-fifth of all the reported sightings "remain to be explained." If people saw, or thought they saw, objects in the sky a century or more ago, these questions immediately arise: Were observers subject then, and now, to the same hallucinations? Why didn't the Saucers' crew ever land? Surely, the world must have been a happier place in the 19th century than it is now. Where have the Saucers been during the intervening time? Did we somehow get mislaid on their inter-stellar charts. All of this seems not to have impressed Charles Fort very much one way or another, while he was writing about it. His own theories were such that he could take, in stride, the possibility of visitations to the earth by creatures from another planet. Fort was a rebel and a heretic who set himself against most of the accepted beliefs of science. Some of his ideas sound the least bit bizarre, even in this electronic age. His theory of "teleportation," as I dimly got it, permitted material objects—including plants and animals—to be de-materialized and then transported through space. Fertile and living things may have been brought to this earth from other worlds in that way, he said. And he speculated about the possibility that residents from other planets may be here now, living in disguise, and sending back regular reports of life on earth to the home headquarters. Fort said there might be some of these creatures right here in New York, on Fifth Avenue. And if you ever have stood on Fifth Avenue, watching the passing parade, you will find this not difficult. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago August 1927 A fire on Sunday in the rear of the building lately used by the Gazette was extinguished without the aid of our efficient Fire Company. Mr. J. Bennerscheidt has been appointed local agent for Culter's patent rod-coupler and is now prepaired to fill orders for that useful invention. Gov. Downey recommends the native California rye grass as a substitute for Kentucky blue grass for lawns. The dry atmosphere and rapid evaporation in this section makes the task of keeping blue grass in its verdant beauty an impossibility. There were three deaths from sunstroke in Yolo county last week. A very pleasant picnic party assembled at Santiago Canyon on Sunday. An elegant dinner was prepared by the ladies of the party and the affair was not marred by any unpleasant accident. 50 Years Ago August 1902 Fayette Lewis has received a position as head lemonade dispenser in the grandstand at the Los Angeles ball grounds—five a glass. He informs us Los Angeles is playing in hard luck—hear him!—but that it will yet get within speaking distance of the pennant. Don't you think it boy! Los Angeles will sobn be tall enders, and then we expect to hear of Morley's being stoned to death. Gus Hansen was in town a day or two ago from his ranch on Orangethorpe. He has set 110 acres to beets from the most of which he will harvest a great crop. 25 Years Ago August 1877 All of the 2500 seats in Anaheim's splended open air auditorium, the Greek Theatre just completed in Municipal park, were occupied by interested spectators at the formal opening Friday evening. The program opened at 9:30 o'clock with a concert by the American Legion band. Continuity singing under the direction of Warren Ashleigh followed. Mayor Carl T. Leonard made the address of welcome followed by William Schumacher, chairman of the board of supervisors, and George W. Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Hon. S. C. Hartranft, former Assemblyman from this county was the chief Hal Boyle By RELMAN MORIN For Hal Boyle YORK (UP)—The Flying Story, you know, is by no new one. At 30 years ago, a man Charles Port rounded up published a whole series of about mysterious objects in sky. He said his sources were newspapers, and he names and dates of the in case his readers were in checking the referrals accounts were well over years ago, before the age of 6, and before very much known about balloons. Sports of sightings, accord-ort, came from many diffsarts of the world—from Carolina, from a ship en Bermuda, and "a whole from the North Coast of In fact, that section of Isles was, in its day, ing Saucer center, just as southwestern part of the States seems to be today. Of the descriptions by Fort are almost al with the ones we read "an object of great city, moving at high." "The object hoverlonless in the air, above." Did think this would be assuring to the Air Force in Washington who are data on the Saucers and to explain them. Majorger M. Ramey said the day about one-fifth of all fitted sightings "remain to Drew Pearson On The Washington MEREY-GO-ROUND WASHINGTON. — I have made a firm resolve not to eat any more pink peppermints—at least not in the entrance of the Mayflower dining room. For, according to the testimony in the case of the United States vs. Charles Patrick Clark, had I not dallied to pick up a mint, I would not have been punched in the lobby of the Mayflower by the lobbyist for Franco Spain. So far I have refrained from commenting on a matter that was before the court. But now that a jury has given its verdict, perhaps I may be forgiven for making a few observations on how it feels to get punched in the lobby. Sensation of a Circus Freak Quite frankly, it makes you feel like a fool. You stand there kind of groggy. Scores of people rush to the doors of the dining room to see what's happening. A man in front of you is shouting, gesticulating, jumping up and down. Other people try to calm him down. You stand there, feeling foolish, not knowing what to do. If you rush in and tangle with him, you make it worse. If you don't rush in the public will probably think you're scared. The only thing you definitely decide is that next time anyone stops you in the Mayflower, you'll get your arm up first. Lobbying U.S. Policy Now that I can comment on the matter with propriety, I would like to make one point I was not able to get across to the jury because Judge Tom Skelly quite rightly ruled that my views and my columns were not role. Dick Zimmerman pitched one-hit ball to lead his Evangelican nine to their first victory in the best two-out-of-three playoff series with Grace Lutheran team in an eight innning thriller when Rel Schmitt singled and came home on the throw to break up a tie ball game in the eighth innning. Final score being 8 to 7. In the first game, Howard Mush garnered three singles in three trips to the plate to drive in four of the EUP runs and scored twice himself. But the big noise of the evening was the hurling of "Big" Dick Zimmerman as he set the Grace Lutheran men down with only one hit, while striking out seven. Grace Luthermen's only runs came as a ersult of Wayne Davies home run in the seventh innning. Chuck Vinning homered for the winners with two men aboard in the fifth. In the nightcap Rel Schmitt's home run in the fourth innning, and his clutch single in the elghth proved the winning blows as he broke a tie ball game with a single to center field and hustled home when the fielder threw the ball into the bleachers. Jack Paulus and Duane Duncan got only other blues from Bob Hatfield and Rick oza each got two hits Rainbows in their losing Brea ... 803 000 3-Rainbows ...200 011 0-Fitzgerald and Leed Bielefeld and Ramsier, Last night the Rainbow ed to Fullerton for their game and played charl ball all the way. The came up with four dou think this would be assuring to the Air Force in Washington who are data on the Saucers and to explain them. Majorger M. Ramey said the day about one-fifth of all sightings "remain to nined." Lobbying U.S. Policy Now that I can comment on the matter with propriety, I would like to make one point I was not able to get across to the jury because Judge Tom Skelly quite rightly ruled that my views and my columns were not relevant. That point is that, in writing about Spain, I was not personally interested in lobbyist Clark. What I was chiefly writing about was not Clark but these two important principles: 1. Members of congress who were used by Clark to secure cash for Franco and who in at least one case received money from Clark after making speeches in congress urging his support of Franco. When a congressman votes his conscience it's one thing, When he prostitutes, his vote in return for money it's something the public has a right to know about. 2. The fact that U.S. foreign policy was being directed by a paid lobbyist. Foreign policy is supposed to be directed by the president and the state department, and in the case of Spain both of them had taken a vigorous stand against money to Franco. Yet congress, thanks in part to a skillful lobbyist, overrode the wishes of the executive and voted $162,500,000 anyhow. When this happens, the question of how and why it happened is important news which the taxpayers who must pay that money are entitled to know about. Pearson Confesses This kind of news which involves money passed between a lobbyist and a congressman is extremely difficult to write. It takes weeks and months of work. It also involves the risk of libel suits. Even then you can sometimes be wrong. In the Clark case, I am certain I was not wrong. Clark, incidentally, was given three opportunities to explain his position before anything was written; while the two congressmen were also given no men aboard in the fifth. In the nightcap Rel Schmitt's home run in the fourth inning, and his clutch single in the eighth proved the winning blows as he broke a tie ball game with a single to center field and hustled home when the fielder threw the ball into the bleachers. Jack Paulus and Duane Duncan got the only other blows off the Cypress hurler. Fourteen of the White Temple nine went down swinging. Some fancy base running was the biggest asset to the White Temple team as they stole home four times during the evening. The Cypress runs came on the hitting of Tom Fleeman, Kenny Mackay and Jim West. Fleeman and Mackay both garnered two hits each while West hit the ball long and far allowing runs to counter. Calcutta Auction To Climax Tourney At Willowick With qualifying rounds for the sixth annual Santa Ana city golf tournament set at the Willowwick golf course for Aug. 16 through 28, a Calcutta auction has been carded at the course clubhouse for the evening of the 28th. Golfers, from all over Orange county are invited to enter the annual event, according to Willowick pro, Art Roux. Roux pointed out that only the top qualifiers will play over the three day period of Aug. 30, 31 and Sept. 1. "All other golfers will play just one round each week," the veteran pro explained. Last year Irving Cooper of Long Beach was the winner when he topped Wally Taft of Costa Mesa in the finale. Taft had captured the cup in 1950. Both Cooper and Taft are expected to be on hand at the Willowick links again this year. Track records may take their second beating in a row tomorrow night when the mighty motor-bike each got two hits. Rainbows in their losing Brea ... 803 000 3-4 Rainbows ... 200 011 0-4 Fitzgerald and Leed Bielefeld and Ramsier, Last night the Rainbow ed to Fullerton for their game and played charm ball all the way.

With the field of over 100 entries from every locatity in southern and central California being cut in half after the first day of play, Anaheim netters, with the help of byes, defaults, and outright wins, were still to be represented in seven of the second days' matches. Baker took his singles round from Ronnie Weiser of Beverly Hills by an easy 6-1, 6-3 score, but ran into stiff competition in the boys' doubles when he and Hanson were forced to the limit before defeating John Avila, Jr. and Jim Buck of Huntington Park 7-5, 3-6. 6-2. Baker faces top-seeded Grant of Pasadena in the final and by coincidence, he and son will have to tackle and his brother Gregory in quarterfinals of the boys' final.

Lynx Again Meet Ramblers Tonite On BP Diamond With the current home-and-away series now even-steven at two apiece, the Buena Park Lynx square off tonight again against the PCL Pennant Race Open to Six Leaders By The Associated Press It's still an open race for the Pacific Coast league pennant and the way the leaders are playing right now, six teams figure in the reckoning. San Diego, soundly thrashed in seven of eight games with Hollywood three weeks ago, is back in winning stride and only $1\frac{1}{2}$ games out of first place. The Padres whipped San Francisco last night, four to one. Hollywood, deep in its worst slump in a long, long time, dropped its eighth game in nine starts bowing for the second in a row to Los Angeles, three to two. Portland, continuing its surge toward the top, clipped the league leading Oakland Acorns, one to zero as Red Adams scattered seven hits. Seattle, glad to be out of its losing series against Portland, got back into winning stride by dumping Sacramento, to three. Hollywood's Stars are leaving men on bases all out of proportion to their hitting potential. They were whipped by a home run by big Les Peden, the Los Angeles catcher. But the left-on-bases record tells the story. The Stars left $5\frac{1}{2}$ runners stranded last week at San Francisco; $10$ against Los Angeles; les Monday night, and eight more last night. Last night the Rainbows travelled to Fullerton for their second game and played championship ball all the way. The Rainbows came up with four double plays and almost had a fifth. The first three innings they cut down lone base runners in the fifth they stopped a scoring threat with their fourth. The Rainbows scored one run for the first on two walks and an error. In the second they scored three runs on singles by Gary Ramsier, Bob Garey, Dale Ratzaff, and John McDonald. Two more runs scored in the third on singles by Ramsier, Gary and Ratzaff. In the fourth, four runs scored on three walks and singles by Garey, Bob Hatfield, and Bill Ratselfeld. In the sixth they added two more for good measure on two walks and singles by Bob Hatfield. In the seventh they added two more for good measure on two walks and singles by Bob Hatfield and Richie Espinoza. Fullerton scored one run in the fifth, one in the sixth, and made late threat in the seventh when they scored five runs on a home run, five walks and two singles. Rainbows ... 132 402 0—12 12 1 Fullerton ... 000 011 5—7 8 3 McDonald and Harrison; Perry, Isby, Reno and Spink. Soviet Olympic Coach Now Says It was a Tie ... MOSCOW. (UP)—Nikolai Romavov, head of the Soviet Olympic am at Helsinki and chief of the sports committee in the U.S., said today the Soviet Union did the United States had financed the Olympic games in a 494 points to 494. Romanov made his statement an exclusive interview with avda, official organ of the immunist party. Romanov apparently gave seven points for Lynx Again Meet Ramblers Tonite On BP Diamond With the current home-and-away series now even-steven at two apiece, the Buena Park Lynx square off tonight again against the Phoenix Ramblers on the home diamond. Marie Rogers, named nationally last year as "Miss Softball," will take the mound for the Ramblers against Alsup for the Lynx. Game time is 8:30 p.m. Last night the Lynx, one down in the series after only one win in three starts over the weekend, downed the desert girls, 3-2. It was a come-from-behind win after the Ramblers had taken a two-run lead in the second inning on two hits and two errors. Buena Park unlimbered the artillery in the sixth as Bev Moissen and Doris Ray singled. After an outfielder's error that advanced both runners, Ruby Moore safely made first on a fielder's choice and Meissen came home. Mary Whitney then cracked a neat bunt down the first base line to sacrifice in Ray. Then, with the score tied and two away, Anabelle Lockabey stepped up and banged out a single that scored Moore to lock up the ballgame. Top Heavyweights Will Meet Tonight CHICAGO. (UP)—A couple of hard punching light heavyweights, Harold Johnson and Bob Satterfield, meet tonight in Chicago stadium. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds but, in the light of the past performances of the contestants, it may not last that long. Johnson, No. 2 challenger for the world light heavyweight championship, is a 1 to 3 favorite. Robinson Sets New Record—But Didn't Want to do it... Robinson Sets New Record—But Didn’t Want to do it... NEW YORK. (P)—Jackie Robinson unwillingly tied an all-time Brooklyn Dodger record when he was hit by a pitched ball thrown by New York’s Jim Hearn in last night’s game at the Polo Grounds. It was the 11th time Robinson had been hit this season, tying the mark set by Pete Reiser in 1941. There’ll be a big birthday cake from Van de Kamps with 19 candles on it at Carrell Speedway Saturday night when the mighty midgets celebrate their 19th anniversary with the running of the celebrated 30-lap Gilmore Trials. Billy Cantrell, victor over the field last week at the Gardena half mile saucer, rates as the favorite with George Amick, Don Cameron, Edgar Elder and Johnny Garrett coming in for strong support. Red Schoendienst of the St Louis Cardinals holds the National league record for consecutive errorless games by second basemen (57). He did it in 1950. The Lake cup matches, last contested between professional golfers from the U.S. and Australia in 1934, will be renewed in Australia in October. Meanwhile, deep sea anglers are having fine success with another member of the tuna family, the Albacore. Last week, the total catch soared higher than any previous week this year. The best catch was over three thousand long-fins in one day, brought in by anglers fishing from Port Orange, Norm's Landing. Seasport-Port Lido, Balboa Pavilion, Newport Pier and Kimball's Landing. Despite the full moon over the week-end, there didn’t seem to be much let-up in the good fishing. Well, they’re still catching them. So what are we doing here? Where is that sign for the office door? The one that says...
