Governor Knight 62 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY Kuchel Airs Views in OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. Standing at the intersection of E. Center and Olive streets Friday, your correspondent was amazed, confounded and nonplussed at the number of trucks which make Center street a race track. These snortling behemoths came from both directions, relegating ordinary motorists and pedestrians alike to a secondary curb-side position. And right in their own city, too! Last Friday's ghastly accident in Rivera involving a steel-laden truck and a woman and six chil- streets Friday, your correspondent was amazed, confounded and nonplussed at the number of trucks which make Center street a race track. These snorting behemoths came from both directions, relegating ordinary motorists and pedestrians alike to a secondary curb-side position. And right in their own city, too! Last Friday's ghastly accident in Rivera involving a steel-laden truck and a woman and six children (all killed except the truck driver) should bring into sharp focus the potential danger which rides our main thoroughfare every hour of the day and night. It could happen here. It will happen, for the law of averages is immutable. Should one of those double-hitched gasoline tankers pile up and explode somewhere along Center street in the heart of the business district, the Chamber of Commerce would be faced with the problem of going out and looking for a new city. These trucks are an abomination to shoppers and merchants alike. They could be, by law, declared a public nuisance. It is understood that, at long last, the City Council can re-route truck traffic so that it does not course down Center street. Surely the big trucking companies don't maintain such a tight schedule that the sacrifice of a few minutes in detouring around a busy city such as ours would throw them into bankruptcy. It is conceded that we need truck transportation, but let's require them to keep their place. They have ridden rough-shod over us just about long enough. And if you want to prove the factuality of this statement, ask any Anaheim business man not directly connected with the trucking industry. Robert Lothar Kendell, president of the American Feline Society, Inc., sends the Gazette a publicity release this week asking us to publicize National Cat Week which is to run from Nov. 1 to 7 this year. Just exactly why there should be a Cat Week is not made clear. It is clearly brought out in the story, however, that the Society wants $31,000 to carry on its work, the objective of which is neatly summed up in a line at the top of the letter-head: "Help Save America's Cats." Should you care to squander SENATOR AND COMMANDER — U. S. Sen. Thomas Kuchel, left, exchanges greetings with Czerny Perringer of Fullerton-on-the occasion of the latter's installation as commander of the American Legion's 21st district. Kuchel delivered the principal address. Chest Drive Passes Half Way Mark; to Close Oct. 17 The Red Feather drive is creeping up on the $31,049 goal, having reached the 61 per cent point. Workers were urged to complete and turn in their kits by next week, as Chest headquarters will close Oct. 17, it was announced Tuesday night. Reports on the campaign progress were made in a board meeting held in the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce offices and conducted by Barney Jordan, president. A new board member, Young F. Hammatt of Orangewood ave., was elected and made his first report. Katella area, which he serves, is the first rural district to go over the top in its drive, having been assigned a goal of $300. Hammatt said he expects the residents of that district to double the amount when all returns are in. First returns on Anaheim school collections also show that gifts almost doubled last year's, according to Mrs. R. W. Marvin, secretary-treasurer. Resignation of Wayne Butterbaugh, Savanna district board member, was accepted with regret after he reported he is studying for his degree of Doctor of Education at University of Southern California in addition to his school superintendent's duties and other civic positions. Since the fund drive is in its clean-up phase, committee chairmen will hold a luncheon meeting Friday, Oct. 9, in the Elks club to make reports and plan any final details for the campaign end.

Just exactly why there should be a Cat Week is not made clear. It is clearly brought out in the story, however, that the Society wants $31,000 to carry on its work, the objective of which is neatly summed up in a line at the top of the letter-head: "Help Save America's Cats." Should you care to squander some of your honest gain to perpetuate this evil strain of bird-slaughterers, you can write out a check to: The American Feline Society, Inc., New York 3, N.Y. Of course, $31,000 applied toward the alleviation of pellagra or tuberculosis among children in certain of our states might possibly be considered a more enlightening and humanitarian move, but by all means, let's take care of the cats. $31,000 would also pay for a pretty sizeable strip of asphalt highway somewhere. I can visualize dead cats sprawled all over it. After due consideration, and after thoroughly digesting the text on this story about National Cat Week, I hereby personally declare and decree the period from Nov. 7 to 14, inclusive, to be National Mouse Week. So, there! As reported in this space last week, certain members of the Gazette staff journeyed to Lake Henshaw, down San Diego wav, on a fishing expedition over the week end. An account of our activities seems forthcoming. There are a lot fish in that lake, and despite our assiduous efforts to depopulate it; there has been no appreciable change in the number of fish inhabiting that particular body of water. In fact, the piscatorial density has 6-4-6 CLUB (Each member of these organizations gave $1 or more to each of the six agencies in the chest).

Heim 4-Hers Awards Local Fairs Em Huskers 4-H club ofheim held the first meet constituent on abolishment of the whole mutual security and spending set-up. Sen. Kuchel was principal speaker at the installation Sunday of 21st American Legion district officers in the Fullerton Legion hall and, later in the day, addressed about 1,000 Republicans who attended a campaign fund raising rally at the former Boy Scout-Jamboree site on Irvine ranch. Spending on foreign aid has been more than the United States can stand, the senator said. He stated, however, that he is not sure whether he will follow the recommendation of some of his fellow legislators to eliminate all mutual security spending. He reiterated his belief that no treaties entered into by the United States should supersede authority of the Constitution He revealed that he is co-author of a proposed Constitutional amendment that would specifically state that no treaty or executive agreement entered into between the U.S. president and a foreign power would have any effect without approval of Congress. Sen. Kuchel was critical of the U. S. Supreme court on two counts: its decision several years ago that the government could seize steel properties under the terms of an executive agreement in spite of lack of constitutional sanction; and because of its complete reversal in the tidelands on case. The high court first ruled tideland oil was the property and under the control of the states, then reversed itself to give jurisdiction to the federal government. Sen. Kuchel commended the Holland bill, passage of which assures control of tidelands oil to the states. He made no remarks about the injunction suit filed by Arkansas and Alabama to impound tideland oil funds pending court settlement. Hallowe'en Ball Ready to Go on Saturday Night Saturday night is zero hour for twenty Anaheim Union High school co-eds competing for the title "Miss Hallowe'en of 1953." Beginning at 9 p.m., dancing will begin in the ballroom of the Anaheim Elks club for the annual Hallowe'en ball. The second clinic to complete the immunization will be scheduled on headline included State Senator John Murdy, Congressman James B. Utt, State Assemblyman LeRoy Lyon, County Supervisor Ralph McFadden, Sheriff Jim Mick sick and Anaheim Mayor Charles Pearson. Also at the head table were George Carter, Exchanger president;; Dick Glover, Llc president, and Wayne Butt baugh, Kiwanis vice-president. Gov. Knight, exuding pleasure and self-confidence, proved himself self a decided crowd-pleaser. He producing himself as the 31st governor of the 31st state to entitle the Union, he proceeded to blast the "St. Vitus dance" of the lefists who advocate the welfare state, but also deplored the "rigor mortis" of the extreme conservative right. "I will fit into no ready-made political category but will maintain the middle of the road," I declared. He denied reports that he will institute a housecleaning in Saramonto. "Housecleaning implies that the old spoils system is to be activated," he said. "That is not to be—the merit system will rule I feel that good appointment constitute the best possible politics." The new governor angrily declared that employment insurance chiseling must stop and that they would be no funds for "slop-over sentimentality toward those who would not work." He declared that force and ruthless vigilance will be used against such childers. Knight voiced the determination of the state to have the funds from tidelands royalties, amounting to about $2,000,000, for improvement of beaches and parks. He praised both Republicans and Democrats who fought the Holland bill to passage through Congress and unleashed a heavy Sunday punch at Harry Truman for vetoing similar tideland legislation twice. Concluding, the governor declared that he has no obligation except those expressed and implied by oath of office which he had just taken. "And I have only one ambition," he said. "That is, I want to be a good governor for the people of California."
