Budenz Names 30 R 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THA ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1872 VOLUME LXXXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, Kuchel Refuses to Commit Himself On National, International Issues SACRAMENTO, Dec. 23 (UP)—California's newly selected U.S. Senator, Thomas H. Kuchel, today chose to be "fairly tight lipped" on national and international issues but described himself as a middle of the road "Eisenhower Republican." The 42-year-old, outgoing state controller, named by Gov. Warren yesterday to succeed Vice President-elect Richard M. Nixon in the Senate, did, however, take a specific stand on two issues affecting California: 1. He favors state ownership of tidelands. 2. He will support appropriations to complete California's Central Valley Project. Asked by reporters about such key issues in the 1952 presidential campaign as modification of the Taft-Hartley Act, federal aid to agriculture and social security programs, Kuchel replied: "I will study any such matters Hass, his longtime friend and advisor, plan to leave for Washington Dec. 31 or Jan. 1. Next Gazette Edition to be Published Sunday Employees of the Anaheim Gazette will observe a three-day Christmas holiday, it was announced today by Publisher H. C. Burkheimer. The next edition of the Gazette will be distributed Sunday morning, Dec. 28, he said. "The members of the Gazette staff have been working hard the past few weeks to produce the kind of newspaper Anaheim folks want," he said, "and the management feels they have earned a longer holiday than the usual one-day Christmas break. "We want them, as well as 1. He favors state ownership of tidelands. 2. He will support appropriations to complete California's Central Valley Project. Asked by reporters about such key issues in the 1952 presidential campaign as modification of the Taft-Hartley Act, federal aid to agriculture and social security programs, Kuchel replied: "I will study any such matters as they come up in my new responsibility as a senator... and then I will formulate the position which I believe the public interests requires." "I am going back to Washington as a fairly tight-lipped new member, realizing that there is much I don't know and much I need to study." As state controller for nearly seven years, Kuchel has served as ex officio member of state boards which dealt with the Tidelands and Central Valley Project questions. His announced stand today was consistent with his previous position. Reporters asked him whether he would be a Taft Republican or a Moro Republic in the Senate. "I can call myself an Eisenhower, Republican," he answered. "I want to accept his leadership in the field of international relations. Indeed, I want to accept his leadership generally." Kuchel pointed out he had campaigned for Gen. Eisenhower and added: "I believed in him then; I believe in him now." He will take office Jan. 1. He and Deputy Controller Ewing Film Stars Ignore American Legion Picket Line HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 23 (AP) Hollywood film stars passed through an American Legion picket line tonight to attend the world premiere of a Jose Ferrer-John Huston movie. Film stars who pulled up before the Fox Wilshire Theater in their limousines were faced with a dozen parading pickets who wore Legionnaire caps and carried signs. The placards denounced Ferrer and Huston as Communist sympathizers. The pickets were commanded Film stars who pulled up before the Fox Wilshire Theater in their limousines were faced with a dozen parading pickets who wore Legionnaire caps and carried signs. The placards denounced Ferrer and Huston as Communist sympathizers. The picketing went without incident. Some 1500 fans crowded the Wilshire blvd. sidewalk to cheer the stars attending the films, "Moulin Rouge." The film was made in France and was directed by Huston. It stars Ferrer. Among the stars attending were Marie Wilson, William Holden, Maureen O'Hara, Jan Powell and Groucho Marx. Academy Award winner Ferrer spoke out earlier today against Communist awards in general and Paul Robeson's Stalin Prize in particular. Ferrer and Robeson, the American Negro singer, were once closely associated in the theater. "Any American who accepts an award from the Soviet Union today does a tremendous disservice not only to his own country but to the cause of peace throughout the world," Ferrer said in a statement. CONTRACT AWARDED Contract to construct the new fire hall at Emerald bay was awarded by the county supervisors yesterday to Charles Schoeneber, on a bid of $28,339. This was the lowest of a half dozen bids submitted. Mr. and Mrs. Cox were married in Marion, Ark., July 8, 1937, and separated Nov. 31, this year.

Attorney Elmer R. Guy represents Mrs. Cox in the court action. Reds Turned Back From T-Bone Hill SEOUL, Wednesday, Dec. 24 (AP) —Chinese Reds slammed a bloody 700-man attack at T-Bone Ridge on the Western Front and U.S. Sabre jet pilots fought dozens of roaring dogfights across the northern skies today in a grim prelude to Christmas in Korea. Allied big guns and U.N. troops fighting hand-to-hand against the charging Reds in outpost trenches and bunkers turned back the assault on T-Bone Hill in the darkness before dawn. In the air, American pilots probably shot down two Red MIG jets and damaged nine, the Fifth Air Force said. The dogfights flashed across the skies close to the Yalu River boundary to Manchuria. The Fifth called the air battles a "clawing free-for-all." Maj. James Hagerstrom, Tyler, Tex., was credited with damaging three of the MIGs. The air battle began when Hagerstrom and Lt. Walter Fellman, Camas, Wash., attacked three MIGs near the Sulho Reservoir in northwest Korea.

There are packages from home and there will be special Christmas dinners, even in the front lines. Troops in the rear are giving parties — Santa Clauses and all—to hundreds of Korean orphans and underprivileged children.

Many of those cited by Budenz are distinguished savants, writers, lawyers and educators. Several have held high-level government posts. Quick and emphatic denials came from many of those accused by Budenz. In Pasadena, Dr. Pauling said: "This statement is a lie. I have never been a member of the communist party, and I have sworn to this fact."

Archie Connett, described by his principal at San Lorenzo High school as "one of our best teachers," was near death at Santa Clara County hospital. His wife, Wynona, 28, who fled from her Cupertino home seven miles west of here—after Connett stabbed her twice with a pairing knife, said she tried vainly to stop him from harming their two sons and a daughter. But the children were found in spreading pools of blood amid scattered toys and Christmas decorations by deputies responding to her alarm.

Hearing Due Today for Two Robbery Suspects Preliminary hearing of two men charged with strong arm robbery of a Capistrano Beach service station last week, was scheduled at 10 a.m. today in San Juan township justice court. Elmer G. Graham, 21, Paramount, and Frank Pigg, 22. Long Beach, are being held in the county jail in lieu of $3000 bail each, following their arrest shortly after they had drawn a gun on Ben Broecker, service station attendant. Broeker, a former Michigan deputy sheriff, calmly took the gun away from the bandit who was pointing it at him, and then fired three shots into the fleeing car of the pair, who had refused to pay for gasoline Broecker had put into the car. They wrecked the car at the San Juan Capistrano mission, and were picked up by a California highway patrol officer a mile north of the mission, as they tried to flag a ride. But the children were found in spreading pools of blood amid scattered toys and Christmas decorations by deputies responding to her alarm. Connett, who had locked himself in a bathroom, was found on the floor, blood gushing from his throat. Sheriff's Capt. James Cunningham said Connett, enraged when his estranged wife suggested he spend the night at his San Lorenzo apartment 30 miles away, apparently grabbed the children by the heels and dashed their heads against the haplight tile floor. They were Carl, 3 months; Teresa, 2½; and Michael, 4. The officer said Connett, a Denver-born graduate of the University of Colorado, and his wife parted a year and a half ago when he was teaching at Lick Junior High school here. Connett then got a teaching job at San Lorenzo, but came to his wife's home today for Christmas with the children. This afternoon, she suggested he leave for the night and a violent argument followed. Suddenly, Cunningham reported he smatched up a paring knife and lunged at Mrs. Connett. Wounded only slightly, she followed him into a nursery-bedroom where Michael was playing with the infant Carl. When she shouted, "Don't hurt the kids" he slashed at her again and chased her screaming from the house. She telephoned the sheriff's office from a neighbor's house. When deputies arrived, they found the two boys' battered bodies on the nursery floor; their blood spreading over tangled Christmas decorations and scattered toys. The girl's body was in the kitchen, only a few feet from the back door she apparently tried to escape through. 19 Killed in Runaway Bus OAXCA, Mex., Dec. 23. A bus ran backward down a mountain road today and then plunged into a canyon killing 19 children. Fifteen more riding on todwere thrown into trees below the road and were injured.

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. Roses in the Desert By Rev. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church A few years ago, before air conditioning was installed in the train trains, some people were coming from the east to Anaheim and their vacation with relatives and friends. As they came through the arid desert the dust poured through every crevice around the windows and when the car door was opened huge clouds of dust filled the car from end to end. The countryside was a panorama of desolation. But after awhile the passengers looked upon miles and miles of green pastures with contented livestock, and groves with the golden fruit and the scent of roses in the air. One of the passengers, who was taking the trip for the first time, called the porter and asked how come there had been so much desert and all at once these fresh fields and different atmospheres. "It's this way, boss," replied the porter, "the difference is this land has water. It has been irrigated. It is cultivated. People care about this land. They believe it has value. The desert we just passed through has good soil but no water." Didn't that porter preach a fine sermon? Was it not Isaiah who said, "The desert shall blossom with roses"? (Read Isa. 35:1) He was not just talking about land when Christ should come and Christianity should triumph; but, also, of the soul of man. Leave it neglected and it turns into waste land. Cultivate the soul with the daily prayer and earnestly reading God's Bible, regular attendance at Sunday School and church services, and that same soul will be turned from a desert to a well-watered garden bearing fruit of good works for God and humanity. What a difference it makes when a person believes he has a soul of value and then gives it the attention it deserves!
