Acting Chief Inspector George F. Moynahan announced yesterday. Reports received by Moynahan show dozens of cars abandoned by thieves who fear to pass the stations with them, have been recovered within the few months the stations have been operating. The success of the venture is so apparent that Chief Frank G. Snook is making plans to extend the system to cover all arterial highways leading in and out of the state. Stations are now being operated at Blythe, Daggett, and Yuma. It is the hope of the division to establish one on the Pacific highway, another on the Redwood highway, one on the Susanville-Reno road, one on the Truckee highway, and possibly one in the Owens valley country. Moynahan said the patrol forces would probably be expanded so that every car in and out of the state could be checked. Numbers and descriptions of stolen cars will be forwarded to these stations daily. At Yuma, Inspector A. B. Crane was informed by Sheriff Chappell of Yuma county, Arizona, that he now recovers few California stolen cars, although he recovered an average of six a week before the station was established. At the same station, Officer C. C. Chapman recently arrested a man wanted for counterfeiting, after receiving word from the police describing a description of the man and his car. Moynahan added that many other kinds of crime are being controlled by the stations, although their primary purpose is to give information to incoming Forest Service to Help Save Timber Private Holdings to Be Added to Parks to Preserve Trees The forest service is fully prepared to join in the plan for adding to the present land area owned by the government in the Yosemite national park the body of private land from which the owners are about to cut the timber, provided the local interests of communities in national forest receipts are properly safeguarded and the work of consolidating national forest holdings in California is not unduly held in abeyance, said Chief Forester R. Y. Stuart, in a statement made public at Washington, D.C. "The position of the forest service with regard to the proposal to save the Yosemite timber for the public seems to be misunderstood," said Major Stuart. "The impression has been given that the service is lacking in willingness to co-operate. The facts do not support this interpretation." "The forest service and the national park service have been working together consistently to reach by amicable agreement the best solution, from the standpoint of all the public interests involved, of the various administrative problems in which they have been or are mutually concerned. While there are marked difference in purpose between national forests and national parks, that is no reason why the two services should pursue their respective ends unco-operatively, still less antagonistically. There are bound to be differences of viewpoint, but these should be harmonized by finding a program that will realize the largest public benefits, taking everything into account. That is what the forest service is seeking in this Yosemite matter.

Moynahan added that many other kinds of crime are being controlled by the stations, although their primary purpose is to give information to incoming tourists concerning California motoring laws and registration regulations. Moynahan estimates the southern stations have given information to more than 40,000 tourists since they were established. Visitors' permits giving the visitors the right to remain six months in the state without securing a California license are issued by the border patrolmen. Editors of Nation May Meet in L. A. Invitation Extended for 1932 National Convention First step to make California the convention center of America in 1932 was taken when an invitation was sent to the National Editorial Association, which is to convene at Memphis, Tenn., early in June, to hold its 1932 annual meeting in this state. The invitation was issued by William May Garland, president of the California Tenth Olympiad Association, and was taken to Memphis by John Long, executive secretary of the California Newspaper Publishers' Association. Because the International Olympic games of 1932 will be held in California and correspondents from all over the world will be here to describe the events, it is believed probable the National Editorial Association will welcome the opportunity to hold the convention of that year in this state. Many other national organizations are expected also to decide on California as the place to hold their annual conventions in 1932. As the Olympic games will continue over a period of seven or eight months, a wide range of dates is open to the various bodies in which to hold their conventions here. The attractions that will be afforded by the Olympiad, embracing competitions in the arts as well as in sports and athletics, are expected to be a magnet that will draw a great number of important gatherings to this state. FORMER RESIDENTS HERE Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Fischer, Mrs. Anna Fischer De Frees and Mrs. Dora Fischer Bain of Los Angeles drove down in their new Packard on Wednesday and spent a few delightful hours with friends in this city. "A public demand has arisen to have the private land and timber within the park along its northwestern boundary saved from lumbering and added to the park. A minimum money value of $1,654,000 is involved. It is proposed to acquire the land in its present condition by exchanging it for an equal value of national forest stumpage. "In 1914, a law was enacted by congress to make possible a somewhat similar exchange, though of much smaller proportions, and the authorization was in sufficiently broad terms to be applicable in part to the present case. To so apply it, however, would involve consequences to local communities and to the national forests which there is no reason for supposing congress contemplated; on the contrary, which there is good reason to believe congress did not contemplate and would not knowingly have sanctioned. Questions of public policy are involved of such importance that they can not be ignored. "To offset the loss of taxes resulting from government ownership of the national forests, congress has provided that 25 per cent of all the receipts shall be returned to the states for distribution to the counties containing national forest lands, for the maintenance of roads and schools. To many counties this share in the receipts is of substantial importance. Congress has made another 10 per cent of the receipts available for roads and trails, which the forest service itself builds and maintains. Our viewpoint has always been that congress has given the counties a certain equity in all saleable national forest resources, which the service was bound to recognize and safeguard." Another law of congress permits the forest service to exchange national forest stumpage for land. This law was passed to make it possible to extinguish private rights to land within the forests analogous to those now in question within the Yosemite national park. It is in the public interest that the forests should be blocked up, just as it is that the park should be. Many vexatious administrative problems can be eliminated in no other way. But because of the equity which the forest service considers that the local communities have in the forests through sharing in the receipts, we set a strict limit on the exchange work, which removes timber with no return in cash to the counties. "This limit is made 10 per cent of the value of timber cut under sales in the same state for the same year. Timber sale receipts in California average about $800,000 a year. Under our rule, therefore, we are limited to $30,-000 worth of timber per year to acquire between national forests and national parks, that is no reason why the two services should pursue their respective ends unco-operatively, still less antagonistically. There are bound to be differences of viewpoint, but these should be harmonized by finding a program that will realize the largest public benefits, taking everything into account. That is what the forest service is seeking in this Yosemite matter."

Facilities provide for 275 telephones, and the equipment was so constructed as to allow for additions from time to time. From 4000 to 5000 calls are handled daily at the studio; 60 per cent of which are completed mechanically by the new dial system.

Fischer, Mrs. Anna Fischer De Frees and Mrs. Dora Fischer Bain of Los Angeles drove down in their new Packard on Wednesday and spent a few delightful hours with friends in this city. Mr. Fischer is still engaged with the Los Angeles Water Company, holding the important position of chief engineer. He has been with the company 35 years. He and his wife and two sisters promised to be at the old-timers' picnic here a week from next Saturday. They are descendants of Uncle John Fischer, who was the first secretary of the Los Angeles Vineyard Society in San Francisco in 1857, while C. C. Kuchel was president of the company. This is the company which established Anaheim. Uncle John Fischer came to Anaheim in the '60s, and moved to Los Angeles in 1879. He was elected city assessor of Los Angeles for several terms. He built the Plantars hotel at the northwest corner of Centre and Los Angeles streets in the early '70s. It was the most handsome structure between Los Angeles and San Diego. It was destroyed by fire; was immediately rebuilt, and was again destroyed by fire in 1890. Mr. Fischer and his two sisters attended school here at the original schoolhouse erected in the colony, on West Centre street, where Mrs. Helmsen's building now stands. He went to San Francisco in his youth and learned to be a mechanical engineer. For 39 years he has occupied the responsible position of chief engineer of the Los Angeles Water Company, and is come to be known as one of the best hydraulic engineers in the United States. It was a delight and a pleasure to meet this old-timer here again. TELEPHONE ETIQUETTE Placing the receiver on the hook gently prevents making a disagreeable noise in the other party's ear and eliminates possible damage to the instrument. This limit is made 10 per cent of the value of timber cut under sales in the same state for the same year. Timber sale receipts in California average about $800,000 a year. Under our rule, therefore, we are limited to $30,-000 worth of timber per year to acquire land through exchange. There are within the national forests of California about 5,000,000 acres of private land, valued at about $15,000,000. At least one-third of this should be revested in public ownership—a 60-year program—at the present rate. "If the wiping out of the private land holdings within the Yosemite is to be given precedence over the acquisition of lands within the national forests and to have first call on our national forest timber, it will take all the timber available under our rule for exchange purposes for 15 or 20 years. If we change the rule, the counties and localities would in proportion lose their share in receipts, and also the benefits accruing from the forest service 10 per cent expendable on roads and trails. In addition, it is necessary to bear in mind that when lands are added to the national forests through exchange, they become the prospective sources of future revenue to the local communities, whereas when added to a national park they are removed from the tax list with no offsetting prospect of a share in future receipts. Altogether, the loss of local revenues to counties and local communities, if the Yosemite exchanges were to be consummated on the basis of the present law, might reach more than $500,000. "A new law, if congress on considering all aspects of the matter thinks such a course in the best public interest, might easily provide for the exchange under stipulations which would neither halt the consolidation of the national forests nor involve local losses of revenue. The forest service favors placing the Yosemite emergency before congress with all the facts, as the best way to obtain a determination of the right course to be pursued." twelve feature exhibits at the eighth annual California Valencia Show way at Anaheim, none is more beautiful or impressive than San Diego palace entry, built at a cost of $2000. The 1928 Valencia show opened 24, and will continue until June 3. LEGION NOTES tation to the recipient, stating that "all California invites the national convention of the American Legion to Los Angeles in 1930." LEGION NOTES Carrying 75,000 separate pieces of air mail from California, American Legion members, planes will leave Los Angeles on June 16 in an effort to break the world's record for total air mail weight in one shipment and at the same time advertise to the United States the fact that Los Angeles is a contender for the 1930 national convention of the American Legion. State Commander Paul Dodson of South Pasadena will be a passenger in the leading plane of the air mail fleet. Promotion of the big stunt which is aimed to break the record made by Colonel Lindberg in a flight from St. Louis to Chicago, some months back, is in the hands of Tom H. Allen of Los Angeles, who is now on a trip to the various communities of the state in which Legion posts are located. State Adjutant James K. Fisk is also co-operating in the stunt. The air mail to be sent by the World War veterans consists of an elaborate postcard folder, showing typical California scenes and containing an invi-tation to the recipient, stating that "all California invites the national conven- tion of the American Legion to Los Angeles in 1930." Bert C. Mann, state chairman of the Legion's athletic commission, has announced that June 15 will be the dead-line for the entrance of boys' teams in the junior baseball championship which the American Legion is promoting throughout the nation. Play in the tournament which is to determine the championship team of the United States will begin in July and continue during the summer months under the guidance of the various American Legion posts. California, like other states, has been divided into districts and the local state championship and the western division championship will be determined during the early summer. The tournament is to end in October in the East. Announcement is made that the Cali- fornia American Legion delegates to the national convention of that organiza- tion to be held at San Antonio, Texas, in October have chosen the Southern Pacifc as the official route for the trip. we have been giving each customer who sends woolen blankets for laundering or dry cleaning the past two weeks. are those who have not as yet availed themselves offer, an opportunity to do so, we are continuis special service two weeks longer. blankets will be . . . clean . . . sterilized and need to you in moth-proof and dust-proof bags (for storage) . . . at no additional cost, if you TELEPHONE 18 NOW Anaheim Laundry 300 South Lemon Street Anaheim California LAUNDERERS DRY CLEANERS
