OBLONG VIEWS
(From an Egg-Shaped Head)
By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B.
Although this poor, struggling columnist has little admiration for the junior senator from Wisconsin (biggest cheese that fumed dairyland ever produced) I would like to go on record as being stoutly in favor of any and all investigations of the Army, and also of the Navy, and of that other outfit, the Marine Corps.
A good going over at periodic intervals won't hurt those imperious generals and admirals a bit. It'll keep 'em in line. They glory in their own little separate society, content to keep their little world aloof from that of the civilian, surrounded by a protective miasma of red tape and smothering bureaucracy. It is good to see the military heirarchy squirm occasionally under the white glare of publicity. Keeps 'em in line, just like they did me when I was a buck private.
With an old army general in the saddle in Washington, you are not apt to see wrong-doings in that branch of the service brought out into the open unless someone investigates.
It is only to be regretted that the investigation in this case was master-minded by a cunning political opportunist imbued with delusions of grandeur and utterly bankrupt of even the most vestigial remnants of the ethics of decency and fair play.
However, there must be fire at the bottom of all this smoke.

It is only to be regretted that the investigation in this case was master-minded by a cunning political opportunist imbued with delusions of grandeur and utterly bankrupt of even the most vestigial remnants of the ethics of decency and fair play.
However, there must be fire at the bottom of all this smoke.
General McCarthur, Mr. Army himself in the American mind, all through the disgraceful episode, said not one word in defense of the Army. And this despite his tremendous popularity and prestige. The supposition is that he now considers selling adding machines more beneficial to the national security.
Voluminous reports will be submitted following this Army hearing, but ten gets you twenty none will be as searching or succinct as the remark of the buck private in the rear ranks who mutters: "God, what a screw-up outfit."
According to latest estimates, there are 60,000,000 automotive vehicles registered in the United States. But there's one thing that puzzles me: why are they all on the road between Corona and Riverside on Sunday evenings?
Well, the army-mcCarthy hearings are over, and somehow the world manages to stumble on its way despite the facts brought out in that idiotic liars' marathon. For a while there, we were afraid that all this unfavorable publicity might break up the Cohn-Schine romance. But then, as the poet so aptly penned: true love will find a way.
Trouble with this country today is that too many people use the philosophy: "Agree with my views and I will consider you intelligent. Disagree with me and I will classify you as an idiot."
A radio news item from Moscow Saturday in all seriousness told of one of the Reds' latest inventions: a glider airplane which flapped its wings like a bird. According to the Russian report, it flapped its way about over Red Square for several minutes.
Listen, Ivan. Take a tip from a dirty capitalist who has learned from bitter experience: soften that Vodka up a little with water.

City Planning Commission Sets up New Home Areas
Three separate residential zones were set up this week by the Planning Commission in the area around Euclid Avenue, Loara St., and Crescent Avenue.
Before the zones can be permanently established, the recommendations must go before the City Council for approval. The newly-zoned parcel is in the northwest section of Anaheim and lies just west of the swank Westmont Estates development.
The commission set up two areas for R-1, single family residential lots, with a minimum square footage area of 600 feet. The first lies between Loara and Euclid north of Crescent Avenue, with a buffer strip of R-00 (7200 sq. feet minimum) lots along Crescent on the north side.
The second R-1 zone is located between Euclid and Loara south of Crescent In the west half of that block.
Recommended for R-O lots, parcels measuring 9000 square feet or more, is the area to the south and east of the school site at Loara and North streets, and a buffer strip on the west side of Loara from Crescent to Manchester.
R-OO lots, 7200 square feet minimum, are set up for the eastern half of Edclid, Loara, Crescent and Manchester block and along the south side of Crescent from Euclid to Loara.
Planners also recommended that two proposed annexations totaling approximately 1550 acres be annexed.
The first is the Disneyland annexation of 700 acres to the south of the city encompassing the 160-acre Disneyland site at Harbor Blvd., and Winston Rd. Disney officials have asked the city for admission of their parcel soon to contain the $9,000,000 entertainment project.
The annexation boundaries are Manchester on the east, Katella on the south, west to Euclid, up to Cerritos, over to Walnut, up Walnut to the extension of Winston and then easterly to Los Angeles street.

Anaheim's beautiful Greek theatre at City Park would be the logical setting for a series of summer evening symphony concerts. All we need is a symphony orchestra and some organization to spark the program.
"Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast."
(That line was written by a guy who evidently never tried to turn a man-eating tiger into a vegetarian by way of a piccolo obligato.)
Succumbing to the inexorable ways of all flesh, I went to see a Marilyn Monroe movie. This girl has been unjustly maligned. She can act. And she can sing. She now sits upon that pedestal reserved for those Hollywood gals whose talents can be measured by something other than a tape-measure.
The picture, "River of No Return," was filmed somewhere in the Canadian wilds. Don't rightly know whether there was anyone else in the cast, but my wife the next day made some vague and inconsequential remark about Bob Mitchum.
Much ado lately has been made about people running the mile in less than 4 minutes. A Britisher did it in 4 flat. Now we have an Australian who set a mark of 3:58.4.
However, the great question of actually how fast a human being can run a mile will probably not be decided until San. McCarthy turns in his final report on the Pentagon generals.

New City Insurance Plan Presented to Councilmen
A comprehensive insurance plan for city property, presented by the 15-member Anaheim Insurance Agents Association, has been taken under advisement by the City Council. The local agents have banded together to conduct such activities as are carried on by insurance agents to benefit the community; to consult with and advise public bodies with regard to insurance problems; to insure low fire rates for the city and to carry on an effective fire safety campaign in Anaheim.
All fees and commissions derived from the sale of insurance to public bodies will be split among the association members.
The plan for city property, including city buildings, furniture, fixtures, equipment and supplies, was presented by William Walker.
Walker said the value of insurable city property is $883,450. This does not include library books and city motor vehicles.
