The question has been raised in recent weeks as to what the proposed increase in the Anaheim High School tax ceiling means to the average citizen. It will mean a better secondary school system as was voted by the people on November 4, 1952. Several meaningful factors merit the consideration of the voters of this district Monday, June 28. One important reason for voting for the increase in the tax ceiling is to support the decision of the people in 1952. The people's decision was to give young adolescents of junior high grades 7, 8, and 9, a chance at the office—but a real "softy" at home! You are a friend and once you have given your hand in fellowship, that fright can do no wrong, as far as are concerned. You are a native what the proposed increase in the Anaheim High School tax ceiling means to the average citizen. It will mean a better secondary school system as was voted by the people on November 4, 1952. Several meaningful factors merit the consideration of the voters of this district Monday, June 28. One important reason for voting for the increase in the tax ceiling is to support the decision of the people in 1952. The people's decision was to give young adolescents of junior high grades 7, 8, and 9 a chance to develop from children into young adults in a school of their own. A school where children of this important formative period in their lives will be separated from the youngsters of the elementary grades and those of the more developed teenagers of grades 10, 11, and 12. Another factor of importance is that in addition to classrooms in which pupils will learn the intermediate pattern of subjects will be added homemaking, shop courses, arts and crafts, vocal music, instrumental music, and library and gymnasium facilities. The junior high school program costs more because it provides more through its enriched program. The following simple mathematical term should be easily understood by all. The students in the high school district are increasing at a ratio of 4 to 1 to the tax revenue dollar. The high school tax dollar is now called upon to support the two new junior high schools in addition to the high school. The new schools, plus an unprecedented population growth in the district, for next year has doubled the number of pupils, doubled the number of employees, and nearly doubled the payroll. As our population increases there is less money per pupil to operate our secondary schools. Industry coming into the district adds assessed value but not enough. The total assessed valuation of the district increased less than $3 million last year. This brought in only $22,500 in additional secondary school funds for a system that will be jumping from 1572 students to an estimated 3300 when school opens next fall. The situation is that there will just not be enough money to care for so many students on the present tax rate. This is the first of a series of statements from the Board of Trustees which have been purposely delayed so as not to confuse the issue with the elementary bonds.

Thru Thy great bounty, O our God, Thy Name The source of comfort is—and of healing— For us who struggle, fatigued and reeling, Against the enticements of Sin's dark flame! Our pain is eased by remembrance of Thee; Our hope, Thy nearness: our surest feeling, Reliance on Thy Love! No depth of shame Shall bar us from Thy Grace; nor hurt, nor blame, May still our voices—to Thee appealing!

Bahai—9/30 STILL AFLOAT The David Lawrence Dispatch By DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON — A determined effort seems to have been made by "left wingers" hereabouts to discredit the Atomic Energy Commission and particularly its chairman, Lewis S. Strauss, whose heroic defense of the security of the United States deserves instead the highest plaudits of his countrymen. His chief sin in the eyes of the "left wingers" is that he has lined up against Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. The official release of the entire transcript in the proceedings which led to the judgment that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk and should not be employed by governmental agencies hereafter is a sensational revelation. But this document and the report of the special board headed by Gordon Gray do not tell the whole story. For the fact is that Dr. Oppenheimer strayed outside the field of science and, for example, urged that in the event of war the Strategic Air Command of the U.S. Air Force should not be used if the other side would agree also to refrain from using theirs, which was relatively small. This was first disclosed in an article appearing in "Fortune" magazine in May 1953 which was written by Charles J. V. Murphy, who had just finished a tour of reserve duty as a colonel in the Air Force and as aide to the late General Hoyt S. Vandenberg. Why should a scientist—and an influential one who could bring to bear the united influence of many of his colleagues—re insistently to give advice during top-level secret conferences on what the American military position should be? The Gray board's report had in it this guarded language. "In evaluating advice from a specialist which departs from the area of his specialty, government officials charged with the military posture of our country must also be certain that underlying any ad- board.

In evaluating advice from a specialist which departs from the area of his specialty, government officials charged with the military posture of our country must also be certain that underlying any advice is a genuine conviction that this country cannot in the interest of security have less than the strongest possible offensive capabilities in a time of national danger. "We must make it clear that we do not question Dr. Oppenheimer's right to the opinions he held with respect to the development of this weapon (the H-bomb). They were shared by other competent and devoted individuals, both in and out of government. We are willing to assume that they were motivated by deep moral conviction. "We are concerned, however, that he may have departed his role as scientific adviser to exercise highly persuasive influence in matters in which his convictions were not necessarily a reflection of technical judgment, and also not necessarily related to the protection of the strongest offensive military interests of the country. "In the course of the proceedings, there developed other facts which raised questions of such serious import as to give us concern about whether the retention of Dr. Oppenheimer's services would be clearly consistent with the security interests of the United States." Most significant also is a letter from William L. Borden just now made public in the official proceedings of the hearings of the Gray organization. Borden asserts that he helmer "more probably has since (mid-1942) acted a Soviet directive influencer ed States military, atomic intelligence, and diplomacy," and points out that these correlate with information nished by Klaus Fuchs, that the Soviets had an agent in Berkeley who them about electro-magnetization research during earlier.

Center Phone KE 5-3741 WASHINGTON — Congress is investigating foundations again—and I hasten to add that this has nothing whatever to do with ladies' underwear. The foundations that interest Congress are trust funds, usually set up by some rich man to do his fellow humans some good, such as educating them, giving them books to read, and curing some of their ills. As such, these foundations pay no taxes. A couple of years ago, the statesmen concluded that the great majority of foundations, such as those bearing the names of Messrs. Ford, Carnegie and Rockefeller, truly spending their millions for the benefit of mankind and hence could ignore the tax collector. Only a few foundations, the gentlemen concluded, were set up specifically to dodge the payment of income taxes. Now comes a special congressional committee headed by Rep. B. Carroll Reece (R., Tenn.) with a new pitch. Its idea seems to be that many of these foundations are run by dreamers promoting the ideas of world governmen, 1954-style socialism, and no telling what-all else, Rep. Reece has a large staff of investigators, who have charged one or another of the foundations with pinko leanings. Upon this committee, however, is a young Democratic congressman from Ohio, Wayne L. Hays, who figures his fellow law-givers are handing the foundations a bum shake. This attitude has kept the proceedings for weeks in an uproar, which reached its climax the other day when Rep. Hays read two brief quotations about world conditions. What about them, he demanded. Did they sound like the words of Communists? Thomas M. McNiece, the committee's assistant research director, said yes, they did, or at least like the words of Communist sympathizers. Congressman Hays then threw his sinker. He identified the authors of the quotations as two Popes of the Catholic Church. Regular attendants at the hotel port that researcher McKinley had little to say since.

Mr. Borden was executive director of the staff of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy from January 1949 until June 1953. He served under the late Senator McMahon, Democrat, who was chairman of the committee: Before entering on these duties, he had been a pilot in the Army Air Force for three years and served overseas. He is a graduate of Yale Law School. On November 7, 1953, after he left the committee, he wrote to J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, outlining his suspicions about Mr. Oppenheimer based on a careful study of all classified data to which he had access, and this included almost everything related to atomic energy matters in the government. Mr. Borden wrote in part: "The purpose of this letter is to state my own exhaustively considered opinion, based upon years of study, of the available classified evidence, that more probably than not J.-Robert Oppenheimer is an agent of the Soviet Union. "This opinion considers the following factors among others: He was contributing substantial monthly sums to the Communist Party; his ties with communism had survived the Nazi-Soviet pact and the Soviet attack upon Finland; his wife and younger brother were Communists; he had no close friends except Communists; he had at least one Communist mistress; he belonged only to Communist organizations, apart from professional affiliations; the people whom he recruited into the early wartime Berkeley atomic project were exclusively Communists; he had been instrumental in securing recruits for the Communist Party; and he was in frequent contact with Soviet agents." In addition, Mr. Borden charged that Dr. Oppenheimer was a vigorous supporter of the H-bomb program until World War II ended and Kaltenborn Edits the News BY H. V. KALTENBORN and ROLF KALTENBORN The Churchill - Eden visit to Washington will end a rift in British-American relations. That says President Eisenhower, its purpose, and all else is incidental. When Britain blocked the Dulles effort to create a Southeast Asia alliance the rift began. At Geneva Britain was once more disillusioned about getting along with the Kremlin. Now her statesman are back to what they and we regard as the true foundation stone of world peace — Anglo-American cooperation. The President wants to make the alliance between our two countries as strong as possible. The rift was never serious. We understood it as due to Labor Party pressure. The Opposition in the closely divided House of Commons deplored any action in Asia that might prevent agreement on Korea or Indo-China. The British illusion that sweet reasonableness can win Communist concessions dies hard. IT HAD ONE fling at the Berlin meeting a few months ago. All that produced was an agreement to try again at Geneva. In the meantime, the British Labor leader warned the Conservative Government to avoid anything which might give offense to the Communist Governments in Moscow or Peking. France was eager for any kind of peace in Indo-China. The Lancel Government backed Britain's determination to set high hopes on the Geneva meeting for a Korean and Indo-Chinese settlement. These hopes came to man socialist when the French plan for integrating German military units with a European Defense Army was first proposed. This is to develop and expand existing German semi-military forces. Both we and the British use thousands of Germans as members of auxiliary and service units attached to our occupation forces. They wear semi-military uniforms and are subject to a semi-military discipline. These forces could be given eight weeks of basic military training and their military status could be confirmed. At the same time that this was done, we could cooperate in an expansion of the German frontier guards. This is a military organization without heavy weapons. Such a force would provide a legitimate counter-weight to the well-armed well-trained East German military units. The five-hundred "Vopos" — members of the East German Volkspolizei — who have sought refuge in West Germany since last year's East German riots have kept us informed on military developments in East Germany. THESE TWO MEASURES—the expansion and increased arming of the West Geran border guards and the further militarization and development of the German personnel now attached to British-American forces in our service units—would make an excellent beginning for German rearmament. It would have the further advantage of not alarming the French as would the immediate inauguration. Washington Scenes C. OTHMAH ular attendants at the hearings report that researcher McNiece has had little to say since. When I dropped in, Ken Earl, a youthful attorney from Moses Lake, Wash., was trying to read a 37-page statement about something called the League for Industrial Democracy. Earl, a sober-sides in eyeglasses, identified himself as a one-time investigator for the Senate Internal Security Committee. Mr. Borden charged that Dr. Oppenheimer was a vigorous supporter of the H-bomb program until World War II ended and that he then urged each senior individual in his field to desist and was "remarkably instrumental in influencing the military authorities and the Atomic Energy Commission essentially to suspend H-bomb development from mid-1946 through January 31, 1950." Mr. Borden asserts that Oppenheimer "more probably than not, has since (mid-1942) acted under a Soviet directive influencing United States military, atomic energy, intelligence, and diplomatic policy," and points out that "it is to be noted that these conclusions correlate with information furnished by Klaus Fuchs, indicating that the Soviets had acquired an agent in Berkeley who informed them about electro-magnetic separation research during 1942 and earlier." What is particularly damaging, however, are several of Oppenheimer's own admissions which are revealed in the official testimony, such as his confession that he lied to a security officer of the United States Army about a contact with him attempted by a Soviet agent and that he did not reveal the true facts until some months later. Obviously the furor about the Oppenheimer case isn't just a matter of views or opinions but concerns specific acts that resulted in the decision to refuse to give him security clearance for the future. THIS IS THE FIRST Churchill-Eisenhower meeting since the Republican Administration began. The Bermuda meeting included the crisis - ridden French, whose lack of political authority made three - power agreement impossible. The presence in Washington of Anthony Eden, who may succeed Prime Minister Churchill before the year is out, adds to the importance of the coming conference. It was at the famous wartime Quebec Conference between President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill that I first noticed the expansion and increased arming of the West Geran border guards and the further militarization and development of the German personnel now attached to British-American forces in our service units—would make an excellent beginning for German rearmament. It would have the further advantage of not alarming the French as would the immediate inauguration of a larger independent German Army. It is my hope that this proposal which would be popular in Germany with all leading parties will be seriously considered. It could go forward without hampering later acceptance by France and Italy of the European Defense Community Treaty or it could serve as an immediate beginning of serious German rearmament if E.D.C. fails. The McCarthy hearings will remain an unhappy memory. Their one accomplishment is to cut the menace of McCarthyism down to size. They have shown up the Wisconsin Senator for what he is. Never again will he be allowed to terrorize Government departments or helpless witnesses. The man and his dictator - complex remain, but the worst aspects of McCarthyism have been exposed, and defeated, in the white light of television. This may rank as the greatest public service so far rendered by this new medium of communication. From Our News Desk: The beneficial change from a controlled to a freer economy in Western Germany is immediately apparent to American tourists. Lengthy bureaucratic custom investigations on trains have become brief and friendly. Visitors now fill out short forms which avoid many of the personal questions asked by the British and French. The ease with which tourists enter and leave Germany encourages visitors. The British wonder whether they might stimulate their lagging tourist trade by following the German example.

When I dropped in, Ken Earl, a youthful attorney from Moses Lake, Wash., was trying to read a 37-page statement about something called the League for Industrial Democracy. Earl, a sober-sides in eyeglasses, identified himself as a one-time investigator for the Senate Internal Security Committee. This league (hereinafter to be called LID), he said, was no scholastic organization, but a lobbying outfit, with a wide assortment of ideas it wanted Congress to turn into laws. So he mentioned several prominent people who were honored at the LID's 48th annual banquet last year. These included Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, Sen. Paul Douglas (D., Ill.), and Rep. Jacob K. Javits (R., N.Y.). "Are you implying these people are mixed up with some left-wing outfit?" demanded Rep. Hays. "I did not say they are left-wingers, but they are proud of their association with the LID," replied Earl. Rep. Hays said if his name were mentioned anywhere in Earl's statement, he'd resent it. "It would be accusing me of being a far left-winger," he added. Earl said it would do no such thing. It merely would point out that he was a member of a political organization, like maybe the Democrats or the Republicans. And such organizations shouldn't be carrying on their propaganda with tax-free dollars. Mrs. Gracie Pfost, the pretty Democratic representative from Idaho, said she'd been listening a long time to Earl's statement, or nearly two days, and weren't the statesmen wasting time? The chairman said they weren't. Mrs. Pfost left to answer a roll-call on the floor of the House. I just plain left. The Bermuda meeting included the crisis - ridden French, whose lack of political authority made three - power agreement impossible. The presence in Washington of Anthony Eden, who may succeed Prime Minister Churchill before the year is out, adds to the importance of the coming conference. It was at the famous wartime Quebec Conference between President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill that I first noticed the extent to which the British leader had come to depend on his Foreign Minister. He insisted on his presence at all occasions and relied on him to handle public contacts and relations. There was a kind of father-and-son understanding between them which the passage of time has deepened and confirmed. Without Eden at his side, Prime Minister Churchill might have resigned long ago. With Eden to share his burden, he may carry on far longer than most people now believe possible. THOSE WHO HAVE the foolish notion that in his eightieth year a man is too old for constructive leadership should note the way Herbert Hoover is directing and working out his master plan of government reorganization as a weekly aerial commuter between Washington and New York City. European problems will also receive attention at the Washington meetings which are to begin Friday. The r armament of Germany will come up. It would be foolish to wait further on the French to ratify or reject the European Defense Community which they first proposed. The question is what can be done now to begin the necessary rearmament of the West Germans. Varius answers have been made. Let Germany join NATO. Army. Organize a foreign legion Let her create a purely German for European defense which Germans can join. WITHOUT POINTING OUT the difficulties in the way of these proposals, I'd like to suggest one that I discussed with a leading German. The ease with which tourists enter and leave Germany encourages visitors. The British wonder whether they might stimulate their lagging tourist trade by following the German example.
