Anaheim Landing is very popular this summer, and really, as a summer resort it would be hard to find a better one. Quite a number of families are camping there.

On The Washington
MERRY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON — For about four months the state department has been haggling with Dictator Franco of Spain regarding the proposed Spanish air and naval bases which Franco so glibly promised over a year ago when he wanted American cash, and which he has reneged on ever since the cash was voted.
Although France, England, Italy, Greece and Turkey have turned over their soil to American forces for airfields and naval bases, Franco continues to hold back—until he gets exactly his own terms.
These terms include (1) more U.S. dollars with no strings attached; (2) modern tanks, planes and artillery for the Spanish army which the U.S. army needs primarily in Korea, second here at home, and third for the European army.
Meanwhile, Franco has not even been willing to get rid of the strict Spanish laws against foreign capital, which if abolished would invite American dollar investments in Spain by private enterprise. The state department has asked for the modification of these laws in partial return for U.S. government loans, but Franco has said no.
U.S. diplomats figure that one reason Franco is so stubborn is because he knows he has powerful friends in Washington and that the money for Spain already has been appropriated by congress. Since he's going to get the money anyway, he undoubtedly figures there's no use giving naval bases and airports in return for it.
There is no capital stock and the club is not formed for the purposes of profit. The directors who were declared elected at a stockholders meeting on July 16, conducted by A. E. Boothe and Nona Keller are five in number: G. W. Click, Ludwig Martin, Frank Fox, H. Schindler and John Matter. The principal place of business is at Los Alamitos and the term of existence fifty years.
"It has seemed to us that the use of these funds will depend on our over-all military requirements."
"You are negotiating with Spain, are you not, for bases and ports?" snapped McCarran.
"Those have been surveys, sir," said Bonbright. "They were surveys to see what the facilities were and generally to break the ice."
"How long does it take to find out?" shouted the senator from Nevada. "How long does it take these studies to be made before you make a move? Does it require a war to be started before you will do anything in Spain?"
"No, indeed, sir," winced the state department witness. "We are going to start very shortly."
"I have heard that before, so I am just taking it with a grain of salt," grumbled the Nevadan. Then he sanpped at Bonbright accusingly: "You do not seem to know much about it, any more than you know much about your department, from what I have listened to this morning."
Spain and NATO
McCarran also tried to blame President Truman's cool attitude toward Spain on the hapless witness.
"Why is there no mention in the president's message as to Spain, do you know?" he demanded.
"I do not know, sir," Bonbright shook his head.
"Does your bureau of European affairs have anything to do with the preparation of the president's statement relative to the Franco government in Spain?" McCarran pressed.
"No, sir," said Bonbright.

Browns Embarrass
Indians with 6-3
Crucial Victory
By The Associated Press
Bill Veeck, happy-go-lucky owner of the St. Louis Browns, is enjoying a laugh at the expense of his old pal Hank Greenberg, general manager of the Cleveland Indians today.
Greenberg recently charged the major's master showman of trying to knock the Indians out of the American League pennant race by trading "good" players to the Chicago White Sox.
"He seems to want to embarrass us and make our job tougher at every opportunity," Greenberg added.
Embarrassed
Greenberg's lament became reality yesterday as the lowly Browns "embarrassed" the penchant hungry Tribe by beating Bob Lemon, 6-3.
A victory would have moved the Indians to within a game of pace-setting New York Yankees but by missing the boat the Indians dropped two games back. The Yanks and third-place Boston ton were rained out.
In other American League games Philadelphia and Washington swapped 4-2 decisions and Chicago captured a double header from Detroit, 3-1 and 5-4.
Rain curtailed action in the National League, wiping out games between Brooklyn's front-running Dodgers and Philadelphia and between the runner-up New York Giants and the Boston Braves. The Dodgers command the field by eight games.
Chicago Wins
U.S. diplomats figure that one reason Franco is so stubborn is because he knows he has powerful friends in Washington and that the money for Spain already has been appropriated by congress. Since he's going to get the money anyway, he undoubtedly figures there's no use giving naval bases and airports in return for it.
Among his friends are powerful Sen. Pat McCarran of Nevada and Charles Patrick Clark, who is paid $75,000 annually to influence congressmen on behalf of Spain. McCarran once had the gall to summon the head of the export-import bank, Herbert Gaston, and put him on the griddle in front of the Spanish ambassador as to why he had not loaned money faster to Spain.
Bulldozing the Diplomats
More recently, Senator McCarran proceeded to bayl out James Bonbright, the diplomat handling Spanish negotiations, during secret hearings on the state department's appropriation. Since McCarran sits on the subcommittee which decides how much money the state department can get from congress each year, he could have a whip hand over policy.
"Why is it," McCarran demanded of Bonbright, "that none of the $100,000,000 has been allocated to Spain? Nothing has been done for Spain out of the $100,000,000 not a dollar of it."
"That was voted for economic, technical, and military assistance in the discussion of the president," replied Bonbright at the secret
"I do not know, sir," Bonbright shook his head.
"Does your bureau of European affairs have anything to do with the preparation of the president's statement relative to the Franco government in Spain?" McCarran pressed.
"No, sir," said Bonbright.
"Are you sure of that?" persisted the senator.
"Absolutely, sir," replied Bonbright.
Having reached a dead end, McCarran hurtled off in another direction and demanded that Spain be admitted into the North Atlantic pact.
But Bonbright threw cold water on the suggestion and again stirred up the senator's wrath.
"I think the fact is, sir," said Bonbright, "that the chances of getting Spain into the Atlantic pact now are bad."
"Why?" bellowed McCarran. "Is it because Great Britain does not want her in? Is that it?"
"I think you will find many more countries..." Bonbright started to explain. But McCarran cut him short.
"Great Britain wants to enjoy the trade of Spain," exploded the Nevadan. "She is enjoying the trade of Spain in the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars and wants to keep us out. That is the principal thing; is it not? Then you have a small contingent in France, or Spanish refugees who were run out of Spain—the Communists—who are fighting the admission of Spain."

SEATTLE. UP—The steady old lady of Stan Sayres' Two-Mo Seattle fleet is queen again of the speedboat world.
With her 2000-horsepower engine purring into 2000 contented tigers, the Slo-Mo-Shun IV got her crown back Saturday on Lake Washington by outlasting five ill-fated contenders in the 45th running of the Gold Cup classic.
Accident Marked
Even the gallant old Slo-Mo-Fo fizzled once herself in a dramatic battle that saw one boat explode, to the horror of a crowd estimated by police at 250,000.
The driver, Wild Bill Cantrell, escaped with serious burns.
The reinstated queen, which won at Detroit in 1950 and was third here last year, threw a propeller during the first of the three 30-mile heats. Wearing a prop borrowed from her disabled sister, the Slo-Mo-Shun V, she came tearback to win the second and third heats—and the race.

Plate Umpire Ed Runge became the fans' target in the near-riot. He ruled Hollywood Catcher Jim Mangan safe at home in the 10th inning of the first game, thus giving the Stars a one-run lead.
A prolonged rhubarb resulted in Angel Manager Stan Hack being thumbed out of the park. A fan rushed out on the field but was restrained by an usher. Cushions rained onto the field.
Wrestle Umpire
At the close of the Stars' turn, four more fans came out of the stands and one wrestler Runge to the ground. Infielder Gene Handley of the Stars came to the ump's aid. Players and police collared the fans on the field. Several spectators caught throwing articles from the stands were also placed in custody. The game was completed with officers patrolling the field.

Anaheim suffered its only loss at the hands of the Whittier girls team to establish a good record for its first year of participation in the league.
