5 Anaheim Gazetta THURSDAY MORNING, MAR. 5, 1963 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Washim By CONGRE It is not too hard to realize we are so bowed down under the greatest weight of taxation in history of our country when looks into a few of the way which bureaucratic empires grown and with them the tremendous waste of taxpayers money. GOVERNMENT OWNED LAKE It may have escaped the rage of many citizens that the Federal Government owns more than million acres of land, or roots 24% of the total acreage of United States. In the State California there are 46 million acres of Federal lands; less than 45% of our total area. The vast empire of Governed lands is managed by 4 different agencies, overlapping duplicating bureaus; each with duplicating staff of attorney ministrators and agents, with flicting rules and regulations example, on one small lake miles wide, in the State of Washington, the Forest Service has jurisdiction on one side and the Service has jurisdiction on other. Each leases cabin site summer homes; each has its leasing agent, its own attorney draw and approve the leases its own set of collectors to rent, when one agency could all. Some conflicting direct point up the absurdities of duplication. For an instance of I suggest you look at the regulations concerning the B of mountain lions. It a mountain, which of course is everywhere as a predatory mal, is killed on Park Service the hunter is held to have deed wild life, and may be fir imprisoned, or both. If that mountain lion had wandered onto Forest Bureau land and killed, the hunter would recount... GREGORY WRIGHT of Anaheim—Orange County's Easter Seal Boy—is all smiles as the 1953 Easter Seal Drive for the county's crippled children gets under way this week. Over 75,000 Easter Seals will go out to county residents in an appeal for aid for Gregory and the other crippled youngsters in the county who need medical care, therapy, crutches, wheel chairs, and education facilities. Sponsored by the County Society for Crippled Children and Adults, Mrs. John Bertains, the society chairman declared, "It is our hope that Orange Countians will make 'Operation Easter Seal' a success by giving and giving generously to this appeal." Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER All the world's a stage, And all men and women merely players: They have their exits and entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts bring seven ages. —Shakespeare. TEXT—In my father's house are many mansions.—John 16:2. COLD — Jack Frost is having his last fling. Low temperatures are not the unusual for March. Citrus men have been fortunate so far this year that there has been very little firing, but wind machines which have replaced the smudge pots have been busy. Frost damage isn't excessive, though there has been some. Truck gardens and avocado groves are generally damaged most by low temperatures. Some of the frost damage to truck crops will bring better prices for the more fortunate growers. One man's tough luck is another's fortune. LINES-O-TYPE—Gerard Munoz the man who keeps the Santa Fe right-of-way up, says kids are hard to figure. His two nephews have him guessing most of the time. Robert Larson, a former Anaheimer, a Santa Ana man of the year, is actively engaged in Red Cross fund-raising work. He's Mr. Sanitary Laundry. His folk's Riding the CAPITOL CIRCUIT with your 75th Dist. Assemblyman Le Roy E. Lyon Jr. This past week the Assembly engaged in the most colorful, protracted and parliamentarily complex debate that has been seen for many years. The entire debate revolved about the motion made by Assemblyman Dolwig (R) of San Mateo County. His motion provided for the speaker to request the chairman of the California Toll Bridge Authority (Governor Warren) to delay action on the construction of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. As a practical matter, the motion and the debate were something of an idle gesture, because at the very time of the debate, the Toll Bridge Authority sold the bonds to the investment houses, which bonds will later be sold to the public, and contracts for the construction of the bridge had already been let in the amount of $35,000.000. Nevertheless, a majority of us, 47 to 14, voted to pass the motion as a matter of principle in support of the thousands of people throughout the state of California who urgently and earnestly desire a solid fill crossing of the San Francisco Bay and feel that the construction of another bridge will serve to delay even longer the initiation of construction of such a salt water barrier. So, the solid fill crossing of San Francisco Bay, instead of a new bridge, appears to be an impossibility. Nevertheless, study will continue in the Assembly to ascertain the optimum location. Kite Contest to Be Held Tomorrow The 17th annual kite contest for students of Lincoln school be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow was announced by P. S. D. principal of the school. Judges for the contest were Mrs. Paul Williamson, prefect of Lincoln PTA, Chester F. principal of Fremont, and Liam Ross, principal of Loa. The contest will be divided into two divisions — first division includes first, second, and third grades; the second division fourth, fifth and sixth. Each vision will have five classes, largest, prettiest, furthest-flying, and special or unique. There will be a first, second and third prize for each classation, as well as two sweep ribbons, making 32 prizes in The contest is open daily to colin pupils, however all sponsors are invited. LINES-O-TYPE—Gerard Munoz the man who keeps the Santa Fe right-of-way up, says kids are hard to figure. His two nephews have him guessing most of the time... Robert Larson, a former Anaheimer, a Santa Ana man of the year, is actively engaged in Red Cross fund-raising work. He's Mr. Sanitary Laundry. His folk's, yknow, ran the Anaheim laundry before they branched out... Robert Barnes, another former Anaheimer, became counsel for the Young Republicans. Old Doc Barnes would have been proud of him... Since Joe Lieb, Jr., gave up active interest in GOP politics, Anaheim lost its big representation on GOPpolitical committees. NUGGETS—H. H. Stabbert carries that brief case of his'n as if it was a fancy violin. Maybe the bulging brief case has the same heft as his high-priced fiddle... Gordon Smith exclaimed: "What next?" when he read that another tax on tobacco, beer, liquor and hoss racing was proposed. He don't smoke, drink or gamble. "If they keep on, they'll be slapping a tax on the tax they've got on those luxuries."... Valencia's Kelly Hester is continuing his studies—and athletics—at Oxy. SPORTOPIX—Coach Bill Hunstock and his Anahi cagers are to be congratulated for doing the unexpected. With Bill Ames, Gayle Herbolt, Dave Moody, Dean Philpott and Dennis Ryan he developed a team that beat the team everybody thought was the best in Orange county — Huntington Beach with its giant beanpoles. Mike Beach, a class-B sharpshooter, will strengthen Anahi in its bid for the CIF honors... Frank Kelleher is unlimbering his bludgeon at La Palma Park. That's one park, though, that they don't knock mildly out of... Anaheim was represented in the Ellay Angels trial camp. About 150 ambitious kids appeared for a chance motion as a matter of principle in support of the thousands of people throughout the state of California who urgently desire a solid fill crossing of the San Francisco Bay and feel that the construction of another bridge will serve to delay even longer the initiation of construction of such a salt water barrier. So, the solid fill crossing of San Francisco Bay, instead of a new bridge, appears to be an impossibility. Nevertheless, study will continue in the Assembly to ascertain the optimum location and and the earliest practical date for construction of a solid earthen barrier. I personally, am in hearty accord with the need for conserving our water resources and will support action directed at obtaining a solid fill crossing which will enable us in the future to conserve millions of acre feet of water. Joe Ostrowski, LAngels' ex-Yankee, made the Anaheim sausage stuffer look sick with his southpaw slants. Incidentally, Jackie Warner offered Duane Pennington a chance to play California State league ball. The husky wienie-maker is thinking it over. PROGRESS REPORT — There are many things to report. The freeway construction is making haste slowly. It'll be ready when traffic will require another lane both ways ... The "coroner's corner" signals may be in before the coroner has to make a trip to Lemon and Orangenthorpe where traffic gets snarled whenever Northrop changes shifts ... Incidentally, E. H. Moore, plant security patrol, has worked out a traffic pattern for employees to follow. But there are sharples who want to get home early and foul up his plan ... Ray Mahoney is back in business taking care of his baloney. The seige in the hospital slowed him down, but just can't keep a good Irishman down ... See where a union organizer looked over an industrial (Brea) enterprise and almost immediately the paychecks noted it with a three cent increase. State Encourage Work for Pension SACRAMENTO (CNS) — meant to encourage old ageers to seek work and raise themselves from welfare has been approved by the agency social welfare committee. Assemblyman Harold K. King of Los Angeles author of bill, said aged people live "deathly fear" that they can hack on pension rolls when jobs end. Therefore, he tests they do not look for employ even though they would wooing. The Los Angeles legislature clared many aged people in formia are unhappy because have nothing to do. But for being disqualified for perks keeps them from remedying situation by taking jobs, he said. It was the committee's first tion on a welfare bill seeking out what Committee Oman Frank Lanterman called need to reestablish the price that people should be helped help themselves. Washington Reports By CONGRESSMTN JAMES B. UTT is not too hard to realize why there so bowed down under the latest weight of taxation in the history of our country when one is into a few of the ways in which bureaucratic empires have grown and with them the tremendous waste of taxpayers money. GOVERNMENT OWNED LANDS may have escaped the notice many citizens that the Federal government owns more than 455 million acres of land, or roughly half of the total acreage of the United States. In the State of California there are 46 million acres of Federal lands; better in 45% of our total area. The vast empire of Government owned lands is managed by 40 different agencies, overlapping and duplicating bureaus; each with a dedicated staff of attorneys, administrators and agents, with coning rules and regulations. For example, on one small lake, 2 miles wide, in the State of Washington, the Forest Service has jurisdiction on one side and the Park Service has jurisdiction on the other. Each leases cabin sites for summer homes; each has its own owner agent, its own attorney to own and approve the leases, and own set of collectors to collect it, when one agency could do it. Some conflicting directives up the absurdities of this application. For an instance of this suggest you look at the rival regulations concerning the killing mountain lions. It is a mountain, which of course is regarded everywhere as a predatory animal, is killed on Park Service land, hunter is held to have destroy-wild life, and may be fined or imprisoned, or both. If that same mountain lion had wandered over to Forest Bureau land and then died, the hunter would receive a paying taxes to the county in which it is located. This same situation exists all over California and many other states. I must give one more illustration of what I am trying to point up. A year ago, the Voice of America, about which you have been reading so much, purchased 1200 acres of choice irrigated farm land in the State of Washington for $600,000. This is about $500 per acre, when there was non-agricultural land available for $10,000 per acre. They let a contract for three and a half million dollars to construct the station on a cost-plus basis and agreed to pay the contractor 8½ percent per month for the use of his equipment. Nine months ago they ordered him to put his equipment on the ground, and to date, no steel has arrived with which to construct the antenna. So now the Government owes the contractor 75% of the cost of his, so far unused, equipment. This month, it has decided the Voice of America station should be located in California, as was ORIGINALLY recommended before the Washington land was acquired. What will the Government do with the 1200 acres of farm land? Keep it I presume, and set up a rental bureau, unless Congress takes some drastic action to compel these agencies to dispose of all surplus farm land. I am hoping for appropriate legislation to provide for a full inquiry into this matter, and order the disposition of such lands to private owners to get it back on the local tax rolls, and put an end to these backdoor attempts to socialize our agricultural industry. VISITORS: Returning from the convention in Atlantic City, many Southern Californians joined the company at its Hawthorne plant in February, 1941, and moved to Anaheim in October, when he transferred to the local installation. Fellow sonnel honored Notestine with a lunchtime celebration. Some conflicting directives up the absurdities of this publication. For an instance of this suggest you look at the rival regulations concerning the killing mountain lions. It is a mountain which of course is regarded everywhere as a predatory animal, is killed on Park Service land, hunter is held to have destroy wild life, and may be fined or poisoned, or both. If that same mountain lion had wandered over Forest Bureau land and then used the hunter would receive a penalty for killing it. "Confoos'n, not it?" But to get down to our own dispute, During the war, and under emergency powers, the Government acquired large tracts of land military purposes. Thousands acres of this was choice land. A large part of it has never been used for military purposes, while thousands of acres which were used by them were taken off our tax tolls, increasing the taxes on the remaining lands of our counties. The Government has made little no effort to dispose of these plus lands to private owners they could be returned to the rolls, but instead has retained them and has become a property landlord, collecting rents from tax-free land, maintaining team managers, agents and legaliffs to supervise this unnecessary Government operation. One military installation in our district is collecting $186,000.00 a year in rental from farm land within the reservation. This monkey goes into the Federal treasury, then rightly, this land should be Another new FIRST IN REAL-and GAS Keep it I presume, and set up a rental bureau, unless Congress takes some drastic action to compel these agencies to dispose of all surplus farm land.

VISITORS: Returning from the convention in Atlantic City, many Southern California school executives stopped in the office to say hello. Among these were Horace O. Ensign, Superintendent of Schools in Newport Beach; Cecil D. Hardesty of San Diego, and Glen Murdock of La Mesa. I was glad to see Mr. and Mrs. Raymond B. Terry, of Orange, and to hear from Ernie Pyles of Fullerton. Another new FIRST IN REAL-and GAS State Encourages Work for Pensioner ACRAMENTO (CNS)—A bill want to encourage old age pensioners to seek work and remove themselves from welfare rolls been approved by the assembling committee. Assemblyman Harold K. Lever of Los Angeles author of the said aged people live in deathly fear" that they can't get on pension rolls when their end. Therefore, he testified, they do not look for employment, in though they would prefer seeking. The Los Angeles legislator deferred many aged people in California are unhappy because they are nothing to do. But fear of being disqualified for pensions helps them from remedying the situation by taking jobs, he stated. It was the committee's first action on a welfare bill seeking to say out what Committee Chair Frank Lanterman called the need to reestablish the principle people should be helped to keep themselves.

SOUTHERN COUNTY Live better, spe Legislature Asks Less Restriction On Newsmen, Bar them from Meeting SACRAMENTO (CNS)—Some peculiar things happen at the state legislature. One of them occurred recently before the assembly judiciary committee. The committee voted almost unanimously for a do pass recommendation to a bill stiffening the penalties for people who make unprovoked attacks on photographers, newsmen, television operators and radio men, destroying equipment and beating up the reporters. Not five minutes after the committee handed down this momentous decision, primarily at the behest of the state association of news photographers, it put a ban on photography in the committee room. The occasion was the request of a photographer to photograph witnesses from Gardena, home of the draw poker parlors, which Assemblyman Klocksiem seeks to ban through listing draw poker as an illegal game in California. There was little if any discussion of diverting from the committee's "established policy" of prohibiting pictures in the committee room, except on special request, although Assemblyman Thomas E. Galdecott, Berkeley, put the matter squarely up to the members. The "established policy" apparently is a throwback from a rule of the assembly itself, which prohibits the taking of pictures in the chamber except on special authorization by the speaker. This policy is not too many years old. It resulted from a page of pictures once published in a Sacramento newspaper, of the candid type. The picture showed assemblymen draped over their desks, reading newspapers, and one member taking a nice nap for him- policy against cameras is in effect for two reasons, first, continual popping of flash bulbs would annoy the committee, and second, witnesses the committee wants to hear might be reluctant to appear if they were exposed to public view through the medium of pictures in the newspapers. Obviously, some courtesies must be maintained when a public body meets, but the fact remains that generally, photographers are unobtrusive, and usually are anxious to get the pictures they have been sent for and get out. Additionally, it is only on a few occasions that photographers are wanted, these when big news stories are breaking. As to the witnesses, taking a picture in a committee hearing can hardly be called an invasion of the right of privacy, for the simple reason that a witness becomes a public figure when he appears before the committee. He gives his name, identifies himself and almost certainly, his photograph is available somewhere. The contention is made that if a witness is not ashamed of his name, he should not be reluctant about showing his face. Section 9 of article I, constitution of California, states that "no law shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press." Yet there are some who contend that the state's legislators who swear to uphold the constitution when they take office, are restraining the press by denying it the privilege of taking photographs without censorship. Of forest fires in 1951, careless smoking caused more than twice as many conflagrations than any other single cause.

The picture showed assemblymen draped over their desks, reading newspapers, and one member taking a nice nap for himself. Shortly after the publication of this page, the assembly adopted its rule, and ever since, to take a picture in the assembly chamber when the house is in session; it has been necessary to secure a special dispensation from the speaker.
