Found on EBay — 1908 Rainier

Posted on February 5, 2009 by lmharnisch

The 1908 Rainier in all its aged glory.

A 101-year-old touring car on its third owner has been listed on EBay. According to the vendor’s information, the car was purchased in Los Angeles and driven by the Asbury family, which gave the car to the family chauffeur when the rear axle housing broke. The chauffeur replaced the piece with a Pierce-Arrow rear end, but wisely threw all the original Rainier pieces in the back seat. When the chauffeur died, the car was sold at auction to the vendor’s grandfather, a car enthusiast. Bidding starts at $185,000. The vendor says that on the way home from a 1938 horseless carriage gathering, this car was clocked at 70 mph.

Sleeping Dogs Roused

A man came into the Earl V. Lewis camera shop several weeks ago and
asked if a batch of old, unedited home movies could be spliced. He’d
inherited them, he explained, from the estate of a relative who one had
lived in the old country.

The job was done and the other day, when he came into the store again, he was asked if it had been satisfactory.

The customer shook his head sadly and told what had happened.

"He’d invited some friends to view the historic shots and as one
sequence followed another he did a running commentary, pointing out
relatives. At one point he thought he recognized some footage of
himself as a small boy taken in the early 1930s.

Suddenly, to his horror, shots of the same people came into view-
entertaining German storm troopers in their home and giving theHeil Hitler salute.

ONLY IN L.A. — Driving in the curb lane on W 1st Street to make
a right turn at a corner, Atty. Al Matthews found his path blocked by a
city truck. A man on a raised platform was changing the bulb in a
street light. As the signal changed to green Al shouted, "Are you
leaving?" The driver cupped his car and Al shouted again. "Are you
leaving?" The driver shrugged and yelled back, "Leaving? No, I am
existing."

THE RECENT CBS documentary "The Changing Face of Hollywood" had, among others, the voice of Sam Arkoff, producer of "I was a Teen-Age Werewolf."

Asked by Joe Laitin in a recorded interview if there are any taboos in the making of horror movies. Arkoff
replied jocularly that his monsters didn’t drink or smoke, and even if
they occasionally carried off a screaming blond their intentions were
honorable.

On hearing the complete broadcast Arkoff said he didn’t realize it was going to be such a serious discussion. He told Laitin, "I think I’ll demand equal time to reply to myself."

IN OBSERVANCE of his 12th
year in public relations and advertising, Jim Bishop got out a press
release acknowledging his debt to the night janitor and the switchboard
operator.

The janitor’s initiative in cleaning not only the
wastebaskets but the desks of correspondence, files and unanswered
phone messages, he stated, enabled the staff to begin each day with a
fresh, uncluttered approach.

The phone girl, he announced, had been appointed executive co-ordinator of client and media relations, so she may be able to concentrate on reading Abby Van Buren’s column and thereby give outstanding service to clients’ problems — if they can ever get through.

As
part of an expansion program, he added, a new set of plastic coffee
mugs have been obtained by Green Stamps, and the rest of the room has
been tastefully redone in Annual Report Red.

Soiled Politics in Rosarito Raid

I’m back from the sleepy little border village of Tijuana after a quick visit to its dirty little jail.

And glad to be back.

Feeling much better now, thank you.

Had a hot bath to wash away the itchy feeling that I trust was all in my imagination. And I’ve had a few hours sleep to wipe clear the initial shock of what I saw.

Jails at their architectural best were not designed to rival Hilton hotels. But the Tijuana clink is one of the most evil-smelling, dirtiest-looking zoos I’ve ever seen.

And the sight of cells packed with Americans who were held for the reason that they got caught in the middle of a foreign political battle was one I won’t forget in a hurry.

The fact that they were arrested in a gambling raid on a casino they were clearly led to believe was legally open is bad enough.

But the harsh, unreasonable terms of the bail set by a federal judge to keep them locked up were incredible.

What purpose this bizarre bit of Pan American diplomacy serves I cannot fathom. If you take the situation to its highest level, the raid was obviously pulled on orders of Mexico’s new president Adolfo LopezMateos.

The rumor has been racing around Tijuana since before Lopez Mateo’s inauguration two months ago that el presidente nuevo had a yen to "get" Baja California’s Gov. Braulio Maldonado.

Under Adolfo Ruiz Cortines, who went out of office Dec. 1, Maldonado had free reign in his state. Reportedly an old Veracruz buddy of Cortines, the governor was even being considered as presidential material.

However, Maldonado’s general obstreperousness ired the new federal regime. His fingers were allegedly in too many jam jars, including the casino gambling activities at Rosarito Beach.

Although the rattling of the casino’s dice could be heard around the world, the governor reportedly answered in the negative every time an inquiry was made from the federal district as to whether nasty games of chance were being conducted in Baja California.

Thus came the plan to embarrass Maldonado but good. Initial strategy was to catch the governor himself in the act of rolling snake-eyes, but that got goofed-up.

Instead of Maldonado, the feds settled for a few tanks full of American tourists, leaving Braulio to suffer a less direct type of embarrassment.

Bad in Any Language

This, in my opinion, is a real dirty way to play. Even for Latin American politics, it’s dirty.

To help prevent another occurrence of this or any other subtle or flagrant tortures of Americans visiting Mexico, I have a suggestion for the State Department.

I’d like to see them run off little pamphlets to be handed to every American tourist who steps off U.S. soil into Mexico.

The pamphlets should point out that Mexican law isn’t the same as American law.

They should warn us that if we pitch pennies or look over someone’s shoulder and see a pair of dice, we could conceivably spend two or three years in federal prison.

Also, they should point out that we’re committing a crime if we permit a drunk to ram into the rear end of our cars.

I think it’s only intelligent for us to protect our citizens by informing them, before they step across the border, that they’re proceeding at their own risk.

And the risk can be extremely great.

Nuestro Pueblo, February 1, 1939

This is the bluff overlooking the Cornfield and a good route into downtown
if the Pasadena Freeway is jammed.

I’ve been neglectful in posting Nuestro Pueblo — so many stories, only one Larry Harnisch. Here’s an interesting entry on a part of downtown Los Angeles that had vanished by 1939. Notice the story about police corruption continuing on Central Avenue. The Times rarely covered the African American community, so this story is particularly noteworthy.

And in going through the De Mille photos, I found this undated picture of the Lasky studio, which has been turned into a museum.

And here’s the studio in 1993. But what’s this? There’s a porch. Hmm.

And here’s the current photograph from the Hollywood Heritage Museum website.

And in 1979 on the Paramount lot. No porch. The barn was turned into the studio’s gym and used by Marlon Brando and Paul Newman, The Times says.

A Taxpayer Votes ‘No!’

As
mentioned here recently, the Internal Revenue Service has the legal
authority to attack bank accounts of persons who are delinquent in
their payments. The policy, however, is not to work a hardship on those
earnestly trying to co-operate.

Apparently one slips through now and then, as in the case of an angry man who lives in a suburb.

He
owed less than $60 and had agreed to pay $20 a month until the debt was
canceled. But life can be whimsical. When one payment came due he
suddenly had to take his wife to the hospital for the birth of their
first child.

He had $21 in the bank. Not wanting to be absolutely broke, he sent the government $10 and a note explaining the circumstances.

First thing he knew some checks bounced. A lien had been put on his bank account.

"What’s this country coming to?" he asks, among other things. The other things are not printable.

* *

A NEIGHBOR caught short several weeks ago in a baking emergency, borrowed three cups of flour from a Palms woman.

The other day the neighbor’s daughter, 15, brought it back, with five Green Stamps for good measure.

* *

POINT OF VIEW
Picture windows high and wide,
Provide a spacious view outside;
But some intriguing scenes have been
From the outside looking in.
— W.B. FRANCE

* *

IF YOU
press him, North Young, a Malibu artist, will tell about the time he
and a friend from New York set up their easels near the LaBrea tar pits.

Toward
dusk they completed their paintings. The New Yorker’s was a portrait of
a famous publisher holding his beloved but miserable pet poodle, which
he had rescued from the pits. North admired it and asked what he was
going to title it. He replied, "Hoist, With His Own Pet Tarred."

The
New Yorker then looked at North’s composition, an abstraction showing
two fossils anthropologists had dug from the tar: The left femur of a
baby bear from Iraq and the skeleton of a rabbit from an ancient
Chinese city. "How about yours?" he asked. North replied, "Iraq Cub
Bone and aHankow Hare."

Obviously the fires, floods and landslides didn’t do some Malibutes any good.

* *

KID STUFF–
Kevin, 10, was sent to the grocery store for a can of crushed pineapple
but brought chunks instead. When his mother chided him, Kim, 4,
remarked, "Well, I see the Lone Ranger goofed again!" . . . As an
exercise in originality, Mr.Leatherman had his sixth-graders at Culver School make up limericks. Nancy Guinn’s
: "I have a fish named Noel, who lives in a very small bowl. He swims
all day, in the saddest way, for I think to get out is his goal."

* *

DURING a discussion of a case with a private investigator Clyde Duber in his Spring Street office, attorney James Starritt, former LAPD detective captain, asked his secretary to go out and get some coffee.

While she was gone a sneak thief, a glass partition away from the two sleuths, entered the outer office and stole her purse.

* *

LOOSE ENDS — Yep, they finally made it, the Chattanooga Choo Choo Cha Cha
— but Charlie Park is pretending he didn’t hear it . . . A furniture
store at Sherman Way and Laurel Canyon Boulevard lists among its
specials, "Antic Beds." Gal named Rosetta can’t figure if it should be
"antique" or not. Antic means grotesque and bizarre . . . Frank Barron,
just returned from Miami, Fla., reports a restaurant has just opened
there named the Diner Shore . . . A Newport Beach paper had this
Miscellaneous For Sale ad: "Weight lifting equipment, barbells, etc.
Lifted very little" . . . Those who know the place wonder if the
current excitement will really blow the lid off Tijuana.

Airliner Plunges Into N.Y. River; Dodgers Sign Contracts, February 4, 1959

Posted on February 4, 2009 by lmharnisch

The Times put out an extra, but the runover page wasn’t microfilmed. All we have is the cover. Notice that Gov. Pat Brown is opposed to a state lottery.

"Evil Woman" Ingrid Bergman pretends she doesn’t know she’s attractive in "Inn of the Sixth Happiness."

Also opening in the theaters, "Rally ‘Round the Flag, Boys," with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward …. And I should note a concert conducted by Robert Craft of music by Igor Stravinsky and Edgard Varese.

There wasn’t much news in the announcement that new Dodger Wally Moon had signed his contract. No figures were announced and Frank Finch’s short story didn’t even speculate on an amount.

But the story was one of several in February that together showed how the Dodgers were rebuilding and in the process changing from the Boys of Summer to the Lads of Los Angeles.

There was a bigger headline Feb. 1 after Gil Hodges signed his contract because it involved a pay cut from his 1958 salary of $36,000. Finch called Hodges "a self-admitted psychological victim of the Coliseum’s Bamboo Curtain" even though he tied with Charlie Neal for the club lead in home runs.

Another veteran Dodger, Carl Erskine, signed for $17,000, The Times reported on Feb. 13. He would have to fight for a job after a 4-4 record in 1958.

Two other stories updated the careers of up-and-coming Dodgers. Jim Gilliam got a raise to about $22,000. Gilliam had been the subject of trade rumors during the winter after leading the Dodgers in games played. And the Sherry brothers, pitcher Larry and catcher Norm, signed their deals for 1959.

Pool Comeback

Those
who don’t get around to the right places are probably unaware of a
significant social phenomenon. Pool halls, where many leading citizens
of today learned about life, are back. Well, halfway.

Actually
they never really disappeared. They sort of went underground, beset by
a dastardly libel that they were a bad moral influence.

Now dinky-sized pool tables are reappearing in saloons and polite cocktail lounges, a dime per player per game.

This
renaissance is bringing out of the woodwork many old pool hustlers who
are delightedly demonstrating to the younger generation, brought up on
comic books and TV, the true meaning of dexterity and low cunning.

The
reason many oldsters gave up the game was that they couldn’t see across
the vast green expanse of the big tables. On the little ones they can
put the old eight ball in the corner pocket like champions.

The
other day two youths in the Rainbow bar on Hill Street were pretending
they were experts. One, calling his shots had a run of nine. When he
finished, Old Robin, who works in a nearby liquor store, took over and
nonchalantly knocked off 61 straight.

Gives a fellow that old Ezio Pinza feeling.

* *

ONLY IN L.A.– A long black sedan stopped on Hill Street between 4th and 5th,
the chauffeur got out, ran around and opened the right rear door and a
haughty-looking lady in mink and jewels got out and ran across the
street in the pedestrian zone. Caught her bus, too.

* *

AND SOON, TOO
If you face troubles with a smile,
Have no regrets for good things missed,
Are calm no matter how debts pile-
You’d better see a psychiatrist.
–WILLIAM BAFFA

* *

NOT LONG AGO
Helen Shrank took a friend visiting here from Honolulu to the Fox &
Hounds restaurant for dinner. In the Hawaiian tradition, the cocktail
hour went on and on. Each time the hovering waiter proffered a menu the
visitor ordered another drink.

Hours later the waiter asked, this time a little desperately, "Sir, it’s getting late, wouldn’t you like to order dinner now?"

"Stop hounding me!" the visitor growled, "and bring me a fox — rare!"

* *

AVERAGE horsepower of 1959 American cars, the Auto Club reports, is 260.

And on an average day, S.S. Taylor of the City Traffic Department states, 327,260 vehicles enter downtown L.A.

That’s an awful lot of horses running loose and explains the 5 p.m. stampede.

* *

AS YOU probably
didn’t know, this is National Kraut and Frankfurter Week and a press
release states, Liberace, a Milwaukee boy, has been named king of same.
Which certainly qualifies him for membership in the Just Spell the Name
Right Assn.

* *

AT RANDOM ––
National Airlines gives passengers on its New York-to-Miami jet run a
time and position computer so that by turning a dial card they can
learn where they are each 15 minutes after takeoff. In tiny print at
the bottom there’s this note: "Approximate, depending on weather
conditions,CAA traffic control and Cape Canaveral activities." Excuses,
excuses . . . The insidious practice of adding "wise" to other words as
in "weather-wise" and "tax-wise" gets a needling in the movie "Rally
‘Round the Flag, Boys!" The script has Paul Newman saying, "garbage
disposal-wise" . . . Lost and found ad in a small neighborhood paper:
"Small shaggy blond female named Tammy, 91st and Normandie ." Yeah, a
dog . . . M.L.’s thought while driving on Hollywood Freeway: With some
people the process of growing up consists of dropping one comic strip a
year.

Bail Cut on Yanks in Tijuana

Bail on some of the 20
U.S. residents held in Tijuana on gambling charges has been reduced
from $1,600 to $400 and on others to $800. State Atty. Gen. Stanley Mosk was informed by telephone today. The alleged operator of the games was still held in lieu of $3,200 bail.

BY PAUL COATES
Mirror News Columnist

TIJUANA,
Feb. 3– Twenty Americans shivered in the unheated city jail here
today, awaiting word on their request to have their $1,600 bail
lowered.

Nineteen men and one woman remained in jail of the 43 U.S. residents arrested in a raid on a gambling casino at Rosarito Beach nine days ago.

Federal District Judge Eduardo Langle Martinez has promised a decision today.

Without bail, the gambling suspects face several months in jail awaiting trial.

The
woman, Mrs. Rita Nathaniel, 35, of 2330 Coolidge Ave., West Los
Angeles, probably will get her freedom today regardless of the judge’s
decision.

Friends Raise $1,600

Employees and patrons of cafes in Santa Monica where she worked as a waitress were reported to have raised $1,600 for her bail and sent an emissary here with it.

Last
night, when I visited her in her cell, she was taking it bravely — but
there were lines of worry on her face. She is concerned about her
children, a girl 14 and a boy 12.

Blue with the cold, her worst complaint was that she hasn’t been permitted to wash in nine days.

Mrs. Nathaniel said she hadn’t been afraid until the other American women had been granted bail, leaving her alone.

Homes Mortgaged

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rungo
of San Diego, who had been released earlier, visited the jail with
cigarettes and $10 in change — all they said they could afford — to
make jail life easier for the others.

"Relatives in the East mortgaged their homes so we could get out," Runge

U.S. Consul Gen. Robert Hale petitioned the court here for lower bail.

Other expressions of concern came from California’s Gov. Brown, who said he had instructed State Atty. Gen. Stanley Mosk to check on the rights of the California residents involved.

Mosk wired Baja California Atty. Gen. Silva Cota:

"The
people of California are disturbed at reports of excessive bail being
demanded of Californians and other Americans arrested. Mosk asked Cota to "use your good offices to investigate."

Brown
said he will ask the U.S. State Department to "make representations to
the government of Mexico" if there is no satisfactory response from Cota.

Ask U.S. Help

U.S. Reps. Bob Wilson and James Utt also have asked the State Department to intercede.

Baja
California residents generally seem to deplore the high bail set in the
case, fearing that it may frighten off the heavy tourist trade.

But Ruben Padilla, director of tourism for the state of Baja California, said there has been no appreciable change in the number of visitors from the U.S. since the raid.

He
said, however, that "we want to do all we can to have this situation
clarified so that it isn’t damaging to tourism — Mexico’s biggest
industry."

He urged potential visitors to look at the raid "in its true perspective."

The Mexican government repeatedly had said card and dice gambling were illegal, he pointed out.

"The people arrested were breaking the law," he said.

Who’s our mystery lady?

Aaron Kramer writes:

I found this photo behind a wall in my house in Santa Monica during our recent renovation. I think a director or producer owned the house in the late ’30’s. She may be from Eastern Europe. Do you have any idea who this may be?

My guess is that this is Ingrid Bergman or Ingrid Bergman’s twin sister. The photo above is from a Bergman fan site. I pulled some pictures from The Times’ archives, but nothing that captures her in a similar pose.

President to Press for Mideast Peace, Bomb Scare at Lakers Game, February 3, 1969

Posted on February 3, 2009 by lmharnisch

"President Nixon plans to take two moves shortly to obtain an Arab-Israeli
peace settlement and improve this country’s relations with the Arabs."
When this was written, President Barack Obama was 7 years old; Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert was 23; and Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas was 33.

Michael J. Pollard and Robert Redford in "Little Fauss and Big Halsy."

The Lakers lost a rare triple-overtime game and survived a bomb scare at the Forum.

The headline in The Times grabbed my attention with the words "Forum Hit by Bomb Scare." Mal Florence’s story didn’t mention it until deep in the jump, explaining that the switchboard took a call after the first overtime reporting a bomb inside the arena. Police and fire officials searched the Forum after the game ended and no bomb was found, Florence wrote.

Did that mean the threat wasn’t serious enough to check the building immediately? Either the police tried to play down the incident or The Times headline overplayed it. Either way, the headline and the story didn’t seem to match.
