ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Wednesday September 4, 1943 SIDELIGHTS Don't Call Me I'll Stall You The life of a publicity writer for a little theater group is indeed a hard one. Not only are you expected to announce to the world that this is the best theatrical presentation since the old Globe Theatre days, but you are also expected to haunt, mesmerize, goad and bewitch every editor within a 20-mile radius into believing that he's missing the scoop of the century if he doesn't pounce joyously on your copy and give it priority treatment with banner headlines and four-column pictures. If I could be that successful with editors, I'm sure I'd be tempted to put my powers of persuasion to more profitable use like, say, convincing the Los Angeles Times that I should replace Hedda Hopper, or sweet-talking King Features into syndicating this column for the cozy sum of $50,000 per. But the truth of the matter is that editors are an imperturable lot notoriously unmoved by the impassioned pleas of publicity seekers. The only way to earn the tolerance of an editor (and tolerance is the most you can hope for) is with hat-in-hand humility. Just slip in quietly and unobtrusively, place your expertly prepared copy on his desk and slip out again. Standing around chattering at the drama editor. "Hi!" I said brightly. She stopped typing, gave me a cursory glance, indicated for me to drop my release on her desk and resumed typing. A young apprentice was talking on the phone at the next desk. "I'm Doris Lee of the Anaheim Gazette, I offered, smiling. The editor looked at me blankly. "Just thought I'd mention it," I said lamely. She finished typing, pulled the paper from the typewriter and began editing it. I perched myself on the corner of her desk and watched her. "I'm doing publicity for The Marquee Theatre." I said. So What? "The what?" she asked absently, rummaging around on her desk. I pulled out my neatly typed release from among the jumble of papers and handed it to her. She set it on the corner of her desk and placed her coffee cup on it. I watched apprehensively as a tan droplet ran down the side of the cup and spread out on the word "stupendous." The apprentice hung up the phone and heaved an exasperated But the truth of the matter is that editors are an imperturable lot notoriously unmoved by the impassioned pleas of publicity seekers. The only way to earn the tolerance of an editor (and tolerance is the most you can hope for) is with hat-in-hand humility. Just slip in quietly and unobtrusively, place your expertly prepared copy on his desk and slip out again. Standing around chattering at him is the worst thing you can do. He'll immediately make a mental note to consign your release to the wastebasket the minute you leave. Stay Invisible Better still, mail it to him. The less he sees of you the more tolerant he becomes. And don't, above all, call him up and ask him how he's doing with your story. Your call is a signal for him to sop up spilled coffee with it. Being an editor yourself is no help at all. Editors are singularly unimpressed with each other. I found that out the first time I did publicity for my little theater theater group. I did everything wrong. In the first place I forgot my humility and strode in with a cocky air, and then I lingered on babbling at "The what?" she asked absently, rummaging around on her desk. I pulled out my neatly typed release from among the jumble of papers and handed it to her. She set it on the corner of her desk and placed her coffee cup on it. I watched apprehensively as a tan droplet ran down the side of the cup and spread out on the word "stupendous." The apprentice hung up the phone and heaved an exasperated sigh. "That was The Actress again, wanting to know why her picture wasn't in yesterday's paper," she said. "I hope you weren't rude to her," said the editor, making a new ring on my copy with her cup. "No, I wasn't rude, she said, sighing again. 'I told her we didn't have the space but we'd try to use it today.'" "You're learning," said the editor. She fished around on her desk and came up with a four-column picture of The Actress. "Always remember," she continued, tearing the picture carefully in half and dropping it into the wastebasket, "politeness is the key word in our business. I slipped unobtrusively off the desk and left. Letters to the Editor Editor, Gazette 259 E. Center St. Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: The official "Statement of Vote' of the June Primaries shows a registration of 3,996,964 Democrats; 2,833,889 Republicans. Of the Democratic registration, 1,800,241 did not vote for Governor; and only 1,739,792 for Brown, less than half the Democratic registration. On the other hand, although the Democratic registration was 56.68 per cent of the total and the Republican 40.19 per cent, 98,848 more Republicans voted for nomination for Governor than the Democrats. In this connection, the only Conservative of the three regular candidates for Governor, Shell, received 723,253 votes, 66.-722 of them registered Democrats, who wrote his name on their ballots. And, as Governor, Brown has not disappointed his financial supporters. Dollars Obviously, while the dollars are on the side of the Radical minorities, the voters are on the side of the Conservatives. Conservative Republicans are reported advising Republicans to vote for Brown in November. Their course is understandable. They realize that the Republic cannot survive another Eisenhower "Modern Republican" era; that if Nixon be elected Governor, he will be a strong candidate for "Modern Republican" nomination for President in 1964, and almost certain to be elected President in 1968. On the other hand, if Brown received a large vote in November, and Kennedy becomes as thoroughly discredited by 1964 as Tru- Strengthening the nation's omy and giving free enterance chance to expand can only complained through bothinent tax reductions and leement expenditures. Conman James B. Utt declared yesterday. Addressing the session ogress as a member of the Ways and Means Committee Orange County represented criticized the Kennedy Administration's proposal of a temporary tax cut as "an artificial economic stimulant." The veteran Republican statement on the current economic situation stemmed from President's decision to postpone tax cut until next year. Utzing that Kennedy was ing politics with a vital issue clarified: "In reckles disregard of effect of such speculation on the economy, statements been made by economists to the White House — indeed one of the President's official sultants — advocating temporary tax cut as a measure avoiding an impending recoup both economic and political the Democrats at the polls vember. "The public obviously w convinced. Lacking public support for the plunge into the murders of complete fiscal irreversibility, the President has atted to reassure the public that is well — that the administration does not advocate deficit spending as a panacea for our lagging omy." Utt emphasized that "irrrelevant of state of the economy he would be opposed to the tax laws as a 'palliative' administered by the President whenever an artificial economic stimulant might be political pedient. The Congressman said he continually urged the immature consideration of permanent On the other hand, although the Democratic registration was 56.88 per cent of the total and the Republican 40.19 per cent, 98,948 more Republicans voted for nomination for Governor than the Democrats. In this connection, the only Conservative of the three regular candidates for Governor, Shell, received 723,253 votes, 66.722 of them registered Democrats, who wrote his name on their ballots. It is known that a number of Democrats changed their registration to Republican to vote for Shell. A large majority of Conservative Democrats obviously did not vote for the head of their ticket. In 1958, $1,192,255.13 was spent directly to make Brown Governor; and indirectly, $2,556,037.31 by Radical labor leaders — $3,748,292.44 in all. (See figures on file with the Secretary of State.) Labor's support, in press, over radio and television, was constant, widespread and most effective. They realize that the Republic cannot survive another Eisenhower "Modern Republican" era; that if Nixon be elected Governor, he will be a strong candidate for "Modern Republican" nomination for President in 1964, and almost certain to be elected President in 1968. On the other hand, if Brown received a large vote in November, and Kennedy becomes as thoroughly discredited by 1964 as Truman was in 1948, the Radical Democrats could, and conceivably would, nominate the dependable Brown for the Presidency and possibly elect him. The Conservatives cannot match dollars with the Radicals, but they do have the votes. If Californians could agree on one candidate for governor, Democrat or Republican, and write his name on their November ballots, his election would be possible if not assured.

LANDMARK RAZED — Historic old Rimpau home, built during the Civil War, recently was razed to make way for the new Central Library in Anaheim. First occupied in 1863, it was used as a residence until 1956 when it became the offices of the Anabeim Parks and Recreation Department. New library will be dedicated in early 1963, just 100 years after the original structure was built.

Utt declared yesterday. Addressing the session of Congress as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Orange County representative criticized the Kennedy Administration's proposal of a temporary tax cut as "an artificial economic stimulant." The veteran Republican solon's statement on the current economic situation stemmed from the president's decision to postpone a tax cut until next year. Utt, initiating that Kennedy was playing politics with a vital issue, deferred: "In reckles disregard of the effect of such speculation upon the economy, statements have been made by economists close to the White House — including one of the President's official consultants — advocating such a temporary tax cut as a means of avoiding an impending recession, both economic and political for the Democrats at the polls in November. "The public obviously was not convinced. Lacking public support for the plunge into the murky waters of complete fiscal irresponsibility, the President has attempted to reassure the public that 'all well' — that the administration does not advocate deficit spending or a panacea for our lagging economy." Utt emphasized that "irrespective of the state of the economy," would be opposed to the use of tax laws as a "palliative" to be administered by the President whenever an artificial economic stimulus might be politically expedient. The Congressman said he has continually urged the immediate consideration of permanent tax uncertainty on the part of Government. "The failure of the Kennedy administration to understand the motivation of a free enterprise system is the real 'brake' upon the expansion of the private sector of our economy," he commented. "There is nothing wrong with the economy that responsible fiscal leadership on the part of the administration would not cure."

The Congressman said he has continually urged the immediate consideration of permanent tax forms—including a substantial cross-the-board cut in tax rates as a means of permitting the private sector of the economy to expand. But, he added, if such exension is to take place, there must also be a sincere effort to train federal expenditures. "This is not the President's philosophy of tax reduction." Utt continued.

Kuchel of California has voiced approval of President Kennedy's decision not to ask for a tax cut now, though for somewhat different reasons. Kuchel, the Senate minority whip, said the country will benefit from postponement until next year. "Frankly, I feel there would be considerably clear and present political overtones to any action taken by Congress on a tax cut now," Kuchel said.

Blind Radio Amateur Passes FCC Exams The Anaheim Amateur Radio Association has great cause to be proud this week. The reason is that Bill Church — WA6WEM — has passed the most difficult FCC examination for the amateur radio license. Bill Church, who resides at 1347 Havenwood Dr., Garden Grove, is a retired Automotive businessman and has been totally blind for only two years. Since the loss of his sight Bill became interested in Amateur Radio and is a charter member of the Anaheim Amateur Radio Association. In just the short period of six months Bill has passed three FCC examinations given for the novice, technician and general class amateur radio license. In this remarkable fete of passing the technical and complicated exam with Bill another amateur played an important part. That person was Master Sergeant Fred Whiteside USAF — W5AGB — who is a neighbor. With Fred Whiteside's technical assistance and the fact that Bill Church had the ability to understand and retain what was taught, the difficult was accomplished. The next Anaheim Amateur Ra....

Illegal to Operate 'Go-Carts' On Streets, Says CHP Capt. F. E. Winchell, commander of the California Highway Patrol's Anaheim area, reminded residents that it is illegal to operate go-carts on public streets or highways. "The small motorized vehicles are barred from public roads because they do not comply with vehicle code requirements for lights, brakes, turn signals, horns and mufflers," he said. "Even if go-carts could be legally equipped, the driver would be required to have a valid operator's license." He also pointed out that operation of go-carts on public streets is extremely hazardous. It is difficult for the automobile driver to see the carts because of their low silhouette. "Parents should realize that they are criminally liable if they allow their youngsters to operate these go-carts illegally. I urge them to make sure that use of these vehicles is restricted to private property, where the chance of a tragic accident is reduced." There are soft spots in various parts of the American economy, but I concur with the President that the situation does not warrant any drastic recommendations." Kuchel noted also that there was no guarantee any recommendations for a tax cut this year would have been acceptable to Congress. "I feel the American people can now look forward to a fair appraisal of the whole tax structure next year," he said. "Tax cuts, as a result, may be applied both to the earnings of citizens and corporations in order to stimulate the national economy and to increase the gross national product of America in both goods and services. Meanwhile, I will continue to work for tax reform."
