THE GAZETTE Is Now In Its 64th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIV JETTY CONTRACT FOR HARBOR LET BY ARMY MAJOR Telephonic Instructions to Mr. Stickney Cuts Red Tape, Speeds Project Newport Harbor developments broke rapidly early this week, with the result that the federal government released its appropriation of $915,000 for construction of a jetty, and Major Stickney of the army engineers' office in Los Angeles Monday was ordered by telephone to sign the low bid of the Rohl-Conley company and send it to Washington immediately. The successful bid was slightly under $600,000, it was stated. This move successfully thwarted a 60-day delay that would have been necessitated had awarding of the contract been held up another day. The delay would have caused readvertising of bids, and an estimated cost to the harbor project of $100,000. Officials felt that were new bids asked now, they would be higher than the ones submitted because the cost of materials has advanced. Quick action followed specific requests of Chairman Willard Smith of the county board of supervisors, who pointed out to Col. H. M. Waite of the LOCAL OPTION PETITIONS ARE FILED IN S. A. County Clerk Joe Backs this week forwarded to Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan copies of petitions containing 6385 names of qualified voters in Orange county. The petitions seek revision of California liquor control laws to permit local option, by inclusion of an amendment to the state constitution to be vested upon at the November elections. The present state liquor laws were propositions Nos. 1 and 2 on the ballot of November, 1932. They gave the state sole rights to control liquor traffic, with the result that many normally dry communities in California are attempting to drive the liquor out of their cities. Troopers Place Strike Blame On Radical Leaders Men and Officers Unanimous In Condemning Reds for Strife Three officers and 58 men of Anaheim's own company K, California national necessitated had awarding of the contract been held up another day. The delay would have caused readvertising of bids, and an estimated cost to the harbor project of $100,000. Officials felt that were new bids asked now, they would be higher than the ones submitted because the cost of materials has advanced. Quick action followed specific requests of Chairman Willard Smith of the county board of supervisors, who pointed out to Col. H. M. Waite of the PWA division of the department of interior that the original deadline for acceptance of bids was set for Tuesday, July 24. If the bids were held over past that date, readvertising would become necessary, with its consequent greater expenditures and delays. Red tape was cut by several means. Appeals to Senator Hiram Johnson resulted in a wire from him on Monday. Agents of Newport Beach, saying: "Controller general signed warrant late last evening. Hope your troubles are at end." Rogers telephoned receipt and information contained in the wire to members of the board of supervisors. Approximately the same time, Major Stickney received a wire from Chief Engineer Pillsbury of Washington, as follows: "This office advised verbally this date that accountant's office has released funds for Newport Harbor." Awarding of the contract indicates that construction of the jetty may begin within the next few weeks. The army engineers will have full control of expenditures for the harbor, for which Orange county last December voted $640,000 in bonds.

Holland of 729 Men and Officers Unanimous In Condemning Reds for Strife Three officers and 58 men of Anaheim's own company K, California national guards, this week were unanimous in placing blame upon communists and other radicals for waterfront strife at San Francisco which led to patrolling of state property by troops and a general strike in the bay region. Both officers and men, who occupied quarters for one week at Pier 50-A, in the heart of the strike zone, had ample opportunity to witness first hand one week of conflict between radical and conservative union leadership. Conservative leaders who eventually won a victory over the radicals by securing approval of arbitration plans, were commended by officers and men alike from this city. Anaheim's company, which left here on the evening of July 7 for a two-week encampment at San Luis Obispo, was ordered to San Francisco Sunday, July 15. Orders were received at 2:15 and the regiment of which the local company was a part was ready on the troop trains at 6 a.m., with the trains leaving an hour later, lights doused. The troops moved immediately to the Embarcadero, reaching the outskirts of San Francisco before the city was aware additional troops were upon the scene. Because of scarcity of numbers, troopers were forced to long hours of guard duty, with the Anaheim company aiding its regiment in patrolling an area of five miles, including historic Rincon hill and a large slice of the Embarcadero. The local company received orders about 10 o'clock Saturday morning to return to Anaheim, leaving by train at 9 p.m. that evening and arriving home Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. The company was commanded by Captain Dean Love, aided by Lieutenants Kenneth Peck and Russell F.

B. Chapin NEW DEAL Rev. C. Hunziker Claims Children Are Born In Sin Gives His Belief In Spiritual Training of Child at Union Services Rev. C. H. S. Hunziker of the Grace Lutheran church, speaking at Sunday evening's Union services held in the city park, admonished 500 hearers to pay special attention to the religious education of children, whom he claims are born in sin, quoting Psalms 51:5 and Romans 5:12 to support his statement. He declared that in early childhood both the parents and the church have a joint responsibility; that 27 million American children fail to get what he conceives as proper spiritual training in this period. Children in adolescence have special weaknesses for sinful pleasures, during which time they should read a part of the Bible daily, and take part only in such pleasures "as fit in the program of Jesus." He classified the age of independence from 20 to 23, when he especially warned that an independent attitude toward the church must be avoided; from 23 to 24 years of age, the individual normally seeks a mate, a period when he should be guided by prayer, Rev. Hunziker states. He pointed to 40 as the age when persons may begin looking back on life, and exhorted his hearers to leave something besides real estate and a bank. Orange Picker Asks $5825 In Damages Anna Mahoney, orange picker of this city, Monday filed suit in superior court against the S. H. Kress & Co., asking judgment of $5825 for injuries received when she fell January 26 on the polished floor of the local store. The complaint claimed the woman suffered a broken knee cap, and that her left knee ligaments were twisted. She asks $5000 damages for injuries, $250 for medical attention and housekeeper expense, and $575 for loss of wages. Council Considers New Library Rate City councilmen this week have under consideration the Anaheim public library board's official request for a 14-cent tax levy in order to meet anticipated expenses during the coming year. Last year the rate was half a cent less, raising $17,150 of which $16,082.56 was expended. Tax and other revenues under a 14-cent rate would bring in a total of $18,003.87 for the next year, just $42.77 above estimated expenses. The board's request was made at the meeting of the council. Dorothy Yungbluth Tells of South Seas Miss Dorothy Yungbluth, attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Yung- He classified the age of independence from 20 to 23, when he especially warned that an independent attitude toward the church must be avoided; from 23 to 24 years of age, the individual normally seeks a mate, a period when he should be guided by prayer, Rev. Hunziker states. He pointed to 40 as the age when persons may begin looking back on life, and exhorted his hearers to leave something besides real estate and a bank account. On through the 60th year the minister sees opportunities for service, and after 70 a period of waiting. Fifty special guests were present from the St. Peter's Lutheran church, Santa Ana. Its quartet sang "The light of Sabbath Eve", while the Grace Lutheran choir led in anthems and Samuel Hunziker sang "Who Trusts in the Lord Shall Overcome at Length."

In recent weeks she has addressed half a dozen gatherings on various topics, and Monday added another talk to her list when she spoke before the Rotary club. Her address was about the South Sea islands, which she visited in a recent four-month tour. She told stories of the people, showed pictures and discussed island attractions. Stankey Home Fire Causes $1500 Damage Fire breaking out in the basement of Julius Stankey's home on Lincoln avenue just west of Euclid on Tuesday evening caused damage estimated at $1500. The blaze was discovered by the owner at 10:30 p.m.; with fire departments of the county and of Anaheim being called out. Difficulty in securing an adequate supply of water delayed extinguishing of flames. The west wall of the house may need replacing. Most of the furniture was removed and escaped damage.

Jury Finds Local Communist Guilty Of Violating Laws Placentia Court Room Packed For Trial; Jury Takes Two Ballots Anaheim's only known avowed communist, Charles McLauchlan, stands convicted of two charges of violating the Placentia city ordinance prohibiting distribution of handhills and literature. ORANGE RETURNS LOOK BRIGHT AS CROP HALF GONE Shipments Ahead of Last Five Years, Excepting 1932; Cash 9½ Million Better Valencia shipments to date are ahead of any of the last five years, with the exception of 1932, with approximately 36 per cent of the crop harvested and the season 45 per cent gone, according to a survey conducted by local packing houses, which reveals growers getting $9,500,000 more than for the same period last year. Total shipments of valencias to date are 6,258 cars, most of which come from Orange county, the heart of the summer orange district. The f.o.b. price averages higher to July 7 than for any previous year in the past five, with the exception of 1930, when oranges brought the record high prices of $5.84, on the average. Price average to July 7 this year is estimated at $2.92, as compared with $1.65 for the same period last year and $1.93 for 1932, $2.17 in 1931 and $2.66 in 1929. Officials in the citrus industry expect the orange prices to be maintained for the balance of the year, for the reason that there are less cars to ship than in most previous seasons at this date. Crop shipments will be com- Communist Gunny Of Violating Laws Placentia Court Room Packed For Trial; Jury Takes Two Ballots Anaheim's only known avowed communist, Charles McLauchlan, stands convicted of two charges of violating the Placentia city ordinance prohibiting distribution of handbills and literature without a license. Trial was held Tuesday in Justice S. C. Harmony's court, before a jury which required two ballots before finding the defendant guilty. The communist distributed copies of the "Western Worker," an official publication of the communist party, and "The Fascist Menace," a pamphlet put out by the same party. He pleaded his own case, claiming the ordinances under which he was arrested are unconstitutional in that they violate provisions for a free press. In the court room were several strangers who watched the trial closely. The communist said he had no knowledge of a mimeographed hand bill which had been distributed, which, in Spanish, made a plea for every person to attend the trial in the interests of a free press, which it claimed was being throttled. McLauchlan claimed the charges against him were discriminatory, in that they prevented him from distributing information to the working people. He explained that he chose Placentia for the work because he understood that certain employees of a packing house had secured higher wages and he wanted to find out the means by which they did it. He claimed he did not know who went on his bail. He admitted having written a letter to Alex Brodolf of Terminal Island, San Pedro, complaining that contracts from the Irvine ranch supposed to have been made on May 1 had not been received by him. He said the letter was not mailed. Attorney Thomas L. McFadden of Anaheim and Placentia prosecuted, introducing witnesses, including Placentia City Clerk Nellie Kline who stated that McLaughlan had not secured a license to distribute the papers. Upon conviction, Judge Harmony announced that sentence would be made Thursday. Sheriff Probing Hold-up Reports Sheriff Logan Jackson and his deputy with the exception of 1930, when oranges brought the record high prices of $5.84, on the average. Price average to July 7 this year is estimated at $2.92, as compared with $1.65 for the same period last year and $1.93 for 1932, $2.17 in 1931 and $2.66 in 1929. Officials in the citrus industry expect the orange prices to be maintained for the balance of the year, for the reason that there are less cars to ship than in most previous seasons at this date. Crop shipments will be completed about November 15, leaving about 20 weeks in which to sell less than 1000 cars weekly. Officials pay tribute to the efficient working of the California-Arizona citrus marketing agreement, by which local picking and shipping are controlled. Labor conditions, especially the striko at San Francisco which spread to other Pacific coast ports, held up shipments to some extent, preventing marketing to the best possible advantage. This situation, however, is looked upon as more favorable now, with arbitration accepted by most unions. Little labor trouble has been experienced in Orange county, due largely to preparations to keep out radical elements, the use of a county ordinance preventing picketing, and precautions of growers in posting "no trespassing" signs, thus giving them a legal edge in combatting communistic activities. 90-Day Sentence Is Given Victor Gill While out on probation following conviction intoxication, Victor Gill, 30, of this city, was found lying on North Los Angeles street in an intoxicated condition. Officers took him before Recorder Frank Tausch Monday. Gill was sentenced to serve 90 days in the county jail. Freak Rain Settles Dust Here Sunday Anaheimers rubbed their eyes in astonishment Sunday morning when Jupiter Pluvius settled the dust in this city, but forgot to send enough moisture for measurement. Supervisors Will Study Pay Method Upon petition of George Bates, Orange civil engineer, and Candidate Larry Golden, the board of supervisors Sheriff Probing Hold-up Reports Sheriff Logan Jackson and his deputies this week investigated Ernest Wagers' report to Orange police Tuesday that he was held up at 2 a.m. that day, while driving a milk wagon for the Patterson Dairy, detained for an hour and warned not to deliver any more milk or solicit any new business. No bodily harm was done by the two men who held him up at Katella road and Palm avenue, he reported. He stated that the car the two men drove had no number plates. He followed them as far as Orana where he lost track of them. Expect 100,000 to See Big Tournament of Lights Water Pageant Saturday Evening Accclaimed as the Southland's most colorful water spectacle, the Newport-Balboa Tournament of Lights will be ushered in for the 26th time on Saturday, July 28, at eight p.m. on Newport Bay. Started many years ago with a few canoes, it has grown until this year's event will count its entries by the score. About 20 cities, towns and organizations will be represented by floats, gaily decorated and illuminated. Last year 100,000 people lined the banks of the bay and bluffs overlooking Newport-Balboa and cheered as the magic cortege made its way over the ten-mile course. This year five 60-inch army searchlights will make a brilliant pa-tern of sky illumination through which the blimp "Volunteer" will travel in and out. Nearly 100 yachts, motor-boats, cruisers and small craft will be entered in a great "Corinthian Fleet." Bands from Long Beach and Pasadena and other musical features will be presented on several floats. The Los Angeles fire department has promised one of its fire-boats for the occasion. Judges will be selected from the mayors of 20 Southern California cities, and representative newspapermen from several parts of the state. Floats will not only be in the parade on Saturday, the 28, but will be anchored during Sunday following and again illuminated on Sunday night.
