(AP Wirephoto) "I probably looked like I ing nails," he remarked the ren after finishing his acco statement for newsreel and vision cameras and for broadcast. Warren made no nouncement to newsmen then went through it again hour later for the cameras studio. Kuchel's appointment now helps maintain the majority in the senate but give the Republicans a head for the 1954 campaign when senate seat will be up for election. If he wins, he'll run again in 1956 for a full year term. The slender, dark haired senator who was Republican chairman at 30 is a proven matter. He has become known Californians through seven as a controller. He polled over 3 million votes in 1950. As a state assemblyman senator, Kuchel generally with the conservatives. He clips his views somewhat after first appointed him control of the Republican and Democratic nations in the primaries. States now elect him a mid-the-road Republican. Kuchel accepted the appointment "with a sense of honor of duty." He plans to leave Washington shortly. He gain seniority over newly elected members of being sworn before congress meets Jan.-Nixon's resignation as senate is effective Jan. 1. Both of California's Republican senators now owe their place the 62-year-old governor, William F. Knowland of Oakland just relected for six more years was named by Warren in 1954 replace the late Sen. Hiram Johnson. Both are World w Veterans—Knowland was an major and Kuchel a navy lieutenant. And both are member prominent California public families. Knowland is assistant pub of the Oakland Tribune. Kuchel father owned and edited the heim Gazette 48 years brother Theodore B. Kuchel president of the newspaper.

(AP Wirephoto) Meany Approved T-H Amendment WASHINGTON (UP) — The head of the American Federation of Labor says the AFL, which has demanded repeal of the T-H Hartley Act, is now willing settle for satisfactory amendments to the labor law. to Succeed Nixon Kirkwood Named to Succeed Kuchel, Member of Gazette Publishing Family By MORRIE LANDSBERG SACRAMENTO, Dec. 22 (AP)—State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel, 42-year-old Republican go-getter, was named by Gov. Warren today to Vice president-elect Richard M. Nixon's seat in the U. S. Senate. Kuchel—it's pronounced "Kee-Kul"—pledged right away to get behind President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower and the new Republican administration "in the fulfillment of their pledges to the American people." In a speech before the Republican state convention in August, he raised Eisenhower as "soldier, statesman and patriot, politically unfettered and free." He was a free-convention Warren-Ior-President booster. The Republican governor picked one of his legislative supporters, Assemblyman Robert C. Kirkwood, (R-Saratoga), a lawyer-farmer, to take over Kuchel's $12,000 a year job—it goes up to $18,000 next term—as the state's chief disbursement officer and auditor. Kuchel will receive $12,000 a year salary as a senator. In Washington, Nixon, two years Kuchel's junior, spoke of the appointment as "outstanding." He lent in his resignation as far back as Nov. 9 and Kuchel told a reporter that the long wait had cost him a nervous stomach. "I probably looked like I'm biting nails," he remarked to Warren after finishing his acceptance statement for newsreel and television cameras and for radio broadcast. Warren made his announcement to newsmen first, then went through it again an hour later for the cameras and radio. Kuchel's appointment not only helps maintain the slim GOP majority in the senate but will save the Republicans a head start. THOMAS H. KUCHEL (Named to Succeed Nixon) Newly-Appointed Senator 'Tommy' Kuchel is Son of Pioneer Family The new US Senator from California, Thomas H. Kuchel, is a true son of Anaheim and Orange county. His paternal grandfather, Conrad C. Kuchel, came to Anaheim in 1859 as one of the first families with the new senator's father a babe in arms. His maternal grandfather, Dr. George H. Baller, came to Anaheim with his family from Texas via the Butternerd Stage Co. in the 1860s. His father, the late Henry Kuchel, carried the first copies of the Anaheim Gazette around the town in 1870. In 1875 his uncle, the late Richard Melrose, also a former member of the California Legislature, bought the Gazette and operated it until 1887, when Henry Kuchel and his brother, Charles, purchased the newspaper from Melrose, Henry Kuchel bought out his brother in 1900 and it has remained in the family ever since. "Tommy" Kuchel attended Anaheim Elementary schools and Anaheim Union High school. In his senior year at AUHS he was student body president. He then attended SC, graduating from the Liberal Arts college in 1932 and from the SC Law school in 1935. He was elected to the California Assembly in 1936, reelected in 1938. In 1940 he was elected to the California State Senate and reelected, in absentia, while in the Navy, four years later. In 1945 he was appointed by Governor Warren to the post of State Controller, made vacant by the death of Harry Riley. He was elected to the Controller's office in 1946 and reelected in 1950. In 1942 he married the former Betty Mellonich daughter of Warren said in a press statement that the appointment will be balanced representation to state in view of the fact that Knowland lives in northern California and Kuchel comes from Southern California. Nixon from Whittier, in Southern California. State Controller Kuchel has all qualifications to become ananding senator," the governor combines youth with a long honorable career in various cities of public service, including military service in World II. Think Sen. Kuchel and Sen. Knowland will make a fine team California. Kuchel said he will "endeavor, best as I can assist President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the new Republican administration in the fulfillment of our pledges to the American people." Look forward to the opportunity of working in cooperation California's able senior senator William F. Knowland, and the members of the state's professional delegation, in the representation of our great growing state. For almost seven years as conIr, I have given the best that I come to the people of my natate. And now as the junnator from California, I shall urge to serve the people with best that I have. That is my ear and my pledge." Daily Living for Peace of Mind Editor's note: This is one of a series of daily articles by Anaheim ministers and is published by the Gazette in the interest of the kind of daily living that leads to contentment and happiness in troubled times. The Promise of a Tomorrow By REV; AL CASEBEER CHRISTIAN CHURCH "Our world is in deadly peril; we have lost the promise of tomorrow." (Dorothy Van Doren). In the Christmas Gospel that promise may be rediscovered. The shepherds who were tending their flocks on the hills of Bethlehem were living under the heavy threat of Roman tyranny. Nothing seemed to portend for their world a day of freedom, peace, and security. Yet out of the winter sky came the song of a promised springtime: "Fear not; tidings of great joy"—"a Saviour born"—"peace and good will toward men." God guarantees us as He did to those shepherds that there shall be a tomorrow when peace and goodwill shall triumph.
