BAN SEGRE Anaheim Daily-Herald ANAHEIM TWELVE PAGES ANAHEIM, CALIF Henning Withdraws From Throws Support Behind Candidates Holve, Coons Dick Henning, candidate in the coming Friday election for the High School Board of Trustees, today withdrew as a candidate and announced his backing of candidates Al Holve and Rex Coons.

In a letter to the Bulletin announcing his withdrawal, Henning today blasted the present high school board's past policies and stated that if he had remained in the race he felt it would have hurt the chances of Holve and Coons who, he said, have policies closely paralleling his own. His letter to the Bulletin read: 9001 S. Rio Vista Anaheim Calif. May 17. 1954. To the Editor, Anaheim Bulletin Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: Will you kindly publish this letter wherein I will endeavor to explain my new-found position as a filed candidate for the Anaheim Union High School Board of Trustees? I sincerely believe that the content of this announcement should arouse the voters to ponder the import of this Friday's election. With the same seriousness of purpose that caused me to file for one of the vacancies on the board I hereby announce my withdrawal from that race. I want the voters to fully understand that through my withdrawal action I am no less concerned about matters surrounding the high school; to the contrary, it is with the deepest consideration that I forfeit my desire to be of service to the high school district. For me to remain in the race would greatly affect the chances of both, Al Holve and Rex Coons, and I could not in good conscience remain a possible obstacle to their election. The principles for which these two men stand, too closely parallel my own views in the policy making needs of the high school for me to imperil their chances of election. The voters of the high school district are entitled to know why I was moved to file for a post on the board. My views will become obvious with the unfolding of the following points and I hope the voters will join me in a protestation of these unanswered questions: 1. In asking the taxpayers to dig down, next June 18th, for an additional fifty cents per $100 to foot current bills of the Anaheim high schools, why did the present board not show consideration enough to voluntarily publish a detailed audition.

Knight Makes Quick Visit to Harbor Area NEWPORT BEACH, (OCNS) — Newport Beach is still reverberating today after the whirlwind visit of California’s Governor Goodwin J. Knight. He arrived at Orange County airport Saturday afternoon to join outstanding dignitaries of Elkdom and 1000 local and Southern California residents in the dedication of Newport Harbor Elk lodge. After landing at the airport a motorcade whisked him through Costa Mesa where he paused to inspect the newy opened Costa Mesa business firm before proceeding to the lodge for ceremonies. Detained by official business, he arrived to take part in closing the dedication. He was greeted on the rostrum by L. A. "Faye" Lewis, Past Grand Exalted Ruler and former law partner of the Governor. In a speech liberally sprinkled with jokes and good humor, the State Chief said of the Elks and their new lodge. "We do those things for the community, which, if we did not do them, would have to be handled by the state. I am proud to dedicate this new building in the presence of all my friends." Governor Bradfield a 25-year veteran of service with the California Highway Patrol reportedly died in his sleep of natural causes at his Tustin home. Sergeant Bradfield was 53. He is survived by his wife Velma and an 8-year-old daughter, Marle. Governor Bradfield entitled to know why I was moved to file for a post on the board. My views will become obvious with the unfolding of the following points and I hope the voters will join me in a protestation of these unanswered questions: 1. In asking the taxpayers to dig down, next June 18th, for an additional fifty cents per $100 to foot current bills of the Anaheim high schools, why did the present board not show consideration enough to voluntarily publish a detailed auditor's report, showing where they spent the vast sum of money raised through the $2,500,000 bond issue voted upon and passed by the taxpayers on 11-1-52. 2. What important set of circumstances caused this tremendous discrepancy in the present high school board's estimate of needed funds? 3. What assurance do the taxpayers have that their high school tax dollars have been spent judiciously? 4. How can the incumbent, Mr. Shipkey, justify his request for the voters to return him to this office of trust when he and his colleagues (Continued on Page 7) Los Angeles Motorists Hurt in Smashup Here Two Los Angeles residents were treated in Orange County General hospital yesterday evening for minor injuries as the result of a two-car collision on Manchester Blvd., at Center St. in Anahemi.

Speaking for a unanimous court, Chief Justice Earl Warren said education must be available to all on an equal basis. The decision, a sweeping victory for Negroes, is probably the most important in U. S. race relations since the famous Dred Scott decision of 1857, which held that a Negro was not a citizen. The Civil War revsed that decision. "Equal Protection" Clause Warren said because of the ramifications of the decision, formulation of specific decrees will be delayed until further arguments have been heard. But the court by Warren's opinion laid down the rule that segregation is 'a denial of equal protection of the laws' to Negroes. This is the phraseology of the 14th amendment to the Constitution, on which the Negroes relied in bringing their cases. Today's decision was taken in four cases brought originally in four states—South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware and Kansas. 17 States Affected Some 9,000,000 white and 2,650,000 Negro children attend separate schools in 17 states and the District of Columbia. Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico and Wyoming also have segregation in some localities. Death Ends Career Of S. B. Kaufman Death yesterday ended the career of Attorney S. B. Kaufman, 60, when he died in Hoag hospital following an earlier collapse yesterday at his home, 174 Nyes Place, Laguna Beach. Kaufman was on vacation recovering from a recent heart attack, according to Otto Jacobs, co-counsel with Kaufman during their defense in 1947 of Bud Gollum and Beulah Louise Overell, teenage sweethearts charged with conspiring to murder her parents on the Overell's postal yacht in Newport Harbor. The Overells died in the explosion of their yacht and the prosecution charged the young lovers with the double death. Kaufman was a native of Oklahoma and had been a practising attorney in Orange County since Saturday to dedicate the new Red Ruler L. A. Lewis of Anaheim man of the committee of Newport and Ruler Elwood Shell of Newport ine Killed Beach Crash wife of a Marine Corps private crash here this morning and her Los Angeles met instant death and beneath its wheels when Senator Says U.S. May Have to Enter War in Indo-China WASHINGTON — Sen. William P. Knowland says that if Red China invades Indochina the United States may have to intervene with sea and air power even if it means war with Russia. The Senate Republican leader said it would be a "great mistake" Today's decision was taken in four cases brought originally in four states—South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware and Kansas. 17 States Affected Some 9,000,000 white and 2,650,000 Negro children attend separate schools in 17 states and the District of Columbia. Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico and Wyoming also have segregation in some localities. The momentous ruling invalidates many provisions in state constitutions, laws and administrative regulations in the 17 states which now require segregation. The 12-page ruling, a document that will rank in sociological significance with Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, swept aside the "separate but equal doctrine" laid down by the Supreme Court in 1896. Further Arguments Under that doctrine, the tribunal has held in the past that Negroes must be given educational facilities equal to those afforded white students but that the facilities could be separate. The court's decision not to issue the specific decrees at this time was apparently in recognition of the complexity of the issue and the physical difficulties involved in putting the ruling into effect. Warren said further arguments will be heard, presumably in the fall, before the decrees are formulated. Warren said that historical data proved "inconclusive" as to the intent of the framers of the 14th Amendment. Warren said, however, that "in approaching this problem, we cannot turn the clock back to 1868 when the amendment was adopted, or even to 1896 when Plessy V. Ferguson was written." (Plessy vs Ferguson was the case that established the 'separate but equal doctrine' which Negroes have been fighting for 30 years to set aside.) Present Conditions "We must consider public education in the light of its full development and its present place in American life throughout the (Continued on Page 7) Britt Gray Captures District Speech Meet Britt Gray, 705 S.

The Overells died in the explosion of their yacht and the prosecution charged the young lovers with the double death. Kaufman was a native of Oklahoma and had been a practising attorney in Orange County since 1919. He was a member of the American Bar Association, State Bar Association and the Bar Association of Orange County. He was a member of the Community Presbyterian church at Laguna Beach and was affiliated with the Elks Lodge at Laguna, the IOOP at Santa Ana and was a past president of the Trojan Club of Orange County. He leaves his widow, Robbie Anderson Kaufman partner with the deceased in the Anaheim law firm; his daughter, Mrs. Vivian Leo of Costa Mesa and two grand children.

Entombment will be in Fairhaven cemetery. Friends may call at the chapel tomorrow after 4 p.m. Ike Orders U.S. Employes' Silence In McCarthy Quiz WASHINGTON — President Eisenhower today ordered government employees not to tell Army-McCarthy investigators anything about conferences purely within the executive branch. The action threw the investigating subcommittee into an uproar and left its future course in doubt. Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy attacked the order and said, "I do not think the President is responsible... I don't think his judgment is that bad." Calls It "Iron Curtain" McCarthy refused to put any more questions to Army witnesses until the subcommittee held an executive session and decided WASHINGTON — Sen. William F. Knowland says that if Red China invades Indochina the United States may have to intervene with sea and air power even if it means war with Russia. The Senate Republican leader said it would be a "great mistake" to send U.S. troops into the battle zone for this would be like trying "to cover an elephant with a handkerchief." But he said this country has air and sea superiority and could not "sit idly by" if the Chinese Communists entered the fighting on a massive scale. Risk Russia Retaliation Knowland conceded American intervention might risk Russian retaliation and global war. But he said Red China's invasion would lead to the conquest of all Asia and "I don't believe it would be in our national interest to permit the balance of Asia to pass into Communist hands." The California Republican, influentia GOP spokesman on Far Eastern affairs, gave this assessment of the alternatives in a radio interview (CBS "Leading Question") Sunday.
