A $78,800 termination UCLA ‘Retires’ Liz Taylor as Visiting Lecturer HOLLYWOOD (UPI)—The University of California at Los Angeles today retired actress Eliza-beth Taylor as a visiting lecturer before she even had a chance to pay her first visit. Dr. William Melitz, head of UCLA’s theatre department, said the university had received letters from "unhappy housewives" all over the country ever since a representative of Miss Taylor spread the word several weeks ago she would lecture to a motion picture class. "It stirred up quite a hornet's nest," said Melitz. "We don't have anything against Miss Taylor, but housewives from all over the country wrote to the university and said we should be careful. They definitely were not happy about it." Causes Red Faces Melitz said there had been quite a few red faces around his department since word got out that the 27-year-old sultry actress was supposed to tell a symposium about life in the movie business. The point is, he said, nobody really ever invited her. "One of our staff members met Miss Taylor's representative on a movie set. The representative asked if we would like to have Miss Taylor talk to our students. Our man said, 'Why not?'

Preliminary plans for the Television teaching studio at the old Broadway school were approved Chinese Reds in All-Out Search For Dalai Lama By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press International NEW DELHI, India (UPI)—The Chinese Communists were reported pushing an all-out search today for the Dalai Lama in an effort to retrieve him as the safing point for the Tibetan revolt against Red rule. There was no firm official word on the whereabouts of the young leader. But the official Chinese National Central News Agency said he had reached a safe place in Tibet and was personally leading the fight against the Communists. Reports in Taipei newspapers said the Nationalist air force was airdropping encouraging leaflets and minor supplies to the rebels and planned to fly in Nationalist officials to help the rebels. In Hong Kong, meanwhile, China experts were quoted as believing that the Chinese Communist government in Peiping took a calculated risk in cracking down in Tibet—a move that set off the current rebellion. The Hong Kong sources said the Reds apparently felt it was more important to bring Tibet into line with Peiping policy than to avoid a propaganda black mark in the eyes of world public opinion. There was no word however that arms, ammunition, signal equipment and other military supplies promised by the Nationalists were being parachuted to the rebels. There also was no indication charge will also be attached but will not have to be paid unless the system is cancelled. If the system is used for 10 years, no charge will be made.

Nation’s Economy Hits Record High NEW YORK (UPI) — America's resurgent economy climbed to new record highs in the first quarter of 1959 and the outlook is for even greater growth in the next three months. Such key barometers of economic health as industrial production, gross national product, consumer spending and personal income all established new all-time year pact in the aluminum try ends a month later. Economists said this hedge buying will be a stimulant through the quarter of the year. Marine's Death Boat County Traffic Toll The city clerk told reporters that persons representing $10,510 assessed valuation had requested to withdraw their name from the petition of protest. According to the city council, a withdrawal of some 100 acres asked for by Bryan and Gibson builders, could not be granted as it exceeded the 5 per cent allowed by law to withdraw from an annexation. Going into the six-month-old zoning request for multiple single level apartments, councilmen approved the change, even though councilman Bob Borden called it "bad planning." The 10-acre parcel, located at 8671 Magnolia, is to contain 32 four-unit apartments, according to builder Ted Hudson. Hudson told the Bulletin that the 128 units are to be built with his father-in-law, J. R. McIntyre. Hudson said that this is the first self-contained units to be built in Anaheim. "Each apartment will have built-in range, oven and refrigeration. Wall-to-wall carpeting will be featured," said Hudson. According to Hudson there are to be private roads and all street lighting operated with gas. Hudson said that they expect to start construction in two months. Even though a slight hassle occurred regarding a possible through street, the council approved the zone change three to one as it was recommended by the planning commission. Councilman Borden voted against the project. Weather Considerable warmer and sunny today with high near 90.

NEW YORK (UPI) — America's resurgent economy climbed to new record highs in the first quarter of 1959 and the outlook is for even greater growth in the next three months. Such key barometers of economic health as industrial production, gross national product, consumer spending and personal income all established new all-time highs as the economy recovered all the ground lost in the 1967-38 recession. Among the individual industries, steel, construction, autoos, aluminum, copper, and appliances all operated at levels sharply above a year ago, with the first two at record highs. One Dark Spot The one dark spot in the economic picture was unemployment, which has held at the alarmingly high level of 6 per cent of the total labor force, compared with a per cent before the recession. Automation, which permits companies to produce more with fewer men, has been blamed for the sluggish unemployment figures. The steel industry, for example, has broken production records left and right during the first quarter, despite the fact that some 200,000 steelworkers still are out of work. An official of the United Steel-workers of America predicted that 100,000 of the unemployed may never return to the mills. A good deal of the steam behind the economy's first quarter upsurge came from strike-hedge buying in such major industries as steel, copper, and aluminum. Companies in scores of industries are rapidly rebuilding depleted inventories to avoid shortages in the event of strikes later this year. The current three-year contract in the steel industry expires at midnight June 30, while the three-year pact in the aluminum industry ends a month later. Economists said this hedge buying will be stimulant through the quarter of the year.
