BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine REFINED HUMOR— WASHINGTON — Although three-quarters of the seats in the United States senate are usually vacant, on roll calls last week as many as 80 of the 96 senators appeared personally to vote, and senior members of the majority party, led by the administration's own floor leader, were fighting one of the administration's own bills—the $1,500,000,000 Relief bill for fiscal 1938. In the house vigorous attempts were made to attach earmarking amendments to provide pork for the constituencies of various congressmen. In the senate dapper James F. Byrnes, long-rated a close political friend of Franklin Roosevelt, presented tables to show that the financial condition of states and cities had materially improved since 1933, proposed an amendment (sponsored by the appropriations committee) requiring that no work relief projects be undertaken unless the local communities concerned paid 40% of the cost of projects, or certified to Relief Administrator Hopkins' satisfaction that they were not financially able to contribute so much. Board Moves To Rebuild Part of Sewer Pipelines Engineers Are Instructed to Prepare Specifications For Big Project The executive board of the joint outfall sewer district started action last night pointing toward the reconstruction of more than two miles of the line in section two when the engineers committee of the board was instructed to prepare plans and specifications for the work. When the plans are completed, possibly within the next two weeks, they will be presented to the various cities and sanitary districts for approval. Federal government assistance will be sought for the project. It was not decided, however, whether to apply for a grant from WPA or PWA, the decision on the matter to be made later by the engineers. Cost Estimated Tentative estimates of the cost of the replacement work was given as $80,000, of which Anaheim's share will be $13,600. Decision to start action on the project immediately came after a lengthy discussion of a report submitted by E.P. Hangood Anaheim. Wednesday is Hottest Day of Year Here Yesterday was the hottest day of year in Anaheim to date, although today was expected to approach and possibly surpass the maximum of yesterday. The highest mercury climbed yesterday was to 97 degrees at noon. The reading was taken on the thermometer at the Association laboratories. A cooling wind came up shortly after noon and dropped the mercury one degree. Today dawned bright and the mercury has climbed steadily. No change in temperature was predicted by the weather bureau. At 10 o'clock this morning an unofficial thermometer indoors registered 84 degrees. Sidney A. McGraw Called By Death Autcmobile Dealer Victim of Heart Attack Early This Morning A sudden heart attack suffered last evening at his home at the corner of Romneya drive and Euclid avenue brought death to Sidney A. McGraw at 3:45 o'clock this morning at St. Joseph's hos close political friend of Franklin Roosevelt, presented tables to show that the financial condition of states and cities had materially improved since 1933, proposed an amendment (sponsored by the appropriations committee) requiring that no work relief projects be undertaken unless the local communities concerned paid 40% of the cost of projects, or certified to Relief Administrator Hopkins' satisfaction that they were not financially able to contribute so much. Thus, although an improverished community could still get relief with the federal government providing 100% of its cost, a moral brake would be placed on spending. To this the president retorted that it was unfair to make communities take a "pauper's oath" to get relief grants. Several days later Leader Joseph T. Robinson proposed a compromise: To reduce the local contribution requirement from 40% to 25%, omit the "pauper's oath," place on the president the responsibility of waiving the 25% requirement for communities unable to meet it. When administration forces under Kentucky's Senator Alben W. Barkley rallied to oppose this modified restriction on relief spending, Senator Robinson took up the cudgels anew: "Gentlemen may laugh about a $36,000,-000,000 debt hanging over the treasury of the United States if they wish to, but with all my refined and expanded sense of humor I find it impossible to laugh about such a thing." Have we come to that state of mind in legislating that we want to encourage or even countenance indifference, lack of diligence, total lack of thrift, and energy? When the relief bill went to congress a group of stanch Democratic senators, among them Senator Robinson, went to the white house and said flatly that relief spending had to be reduced—so flatly that Franklin Roosevelt listened and gave assurance. But when the roll calls were taken, the Byrnes amendment was defeated 58-to-25, the Robinson amendment 49-to-34—Democratic stalwarts like Harrison, Glass, Byrnes, Pittman, Bankhead, Bailey, Conally, Clark and Russell supporting Joseph T. Robinson instead of Franklin D. Roosevelt. CROWDED OUT— WASHINGTON—All last spring Secretary of Agriculture Wallace was not decided, however, whether to apply for a grant from WPA or PWA, the decision on the matter to be made later by the engineers. Cost Estimated Tentative estimates of the cost of the replacement work was given as $80,000, of which Anaheim's share will be $13,600. Decision to start action on the project immediately came after a lengthy discussion of a report submitted by E. P. Hapgood, Anaheim city engineer, who recently made a survey of the needs on the line. The purpose of Hapgood's study was to determine whether a smaller line could be used than that employed at present. The engineer reported that under the present situation no reduction in size could be made. Part of the line at present is 27-inch pipe and part is 30-inch pipe. Smaller Line Possible Should the city of Orange decide to withdraw from the district and establish its own plant the sizes could be reduced to 24-inch and 27-inch pipes, Hapgood said. Pipes measuring 18 inches and 21 inches would be sufficient if Fullerton, La Habra and Buena Park also withdrew. C. C. Bonebrake, city engineer of Orange, reported that that city is still undecided as to its plans as it has not yet obtained approval from the state sanitary board to construct a treatment plant. A discussion was also held regarding the possibility of revising the agreements between cities to provide a more equitable distribution of the cost of maintenance and repairs. Revis Agreement As a result Chairman Leo Sheridan requested that J. B. Sanks, city engineer of La Habra, draw up recommendations for the revision and submit them to the board for consideration. The new agreements will probably be made on the basis of usage rather than ownership. La Habra is opposed to the present agreement which provides that reconstruction costs be divided on the basis of ownership, pointing out that its share of ownership is much more than its average percentage of the flow. No discussion of section one was held at the meeting last night due to the absence of Joseph P. Smith, Santa Ana's representative. Mary E. Reeske Called by Death Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon from the Hilgenfeld funeral home for Mrs. Mary E. Reeske, 73, who passed away at the family home, 518 S. Citron street, last Saturday evening. The Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, pastor of the Zion Lutheran church officiated. Interment was at Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Reeske had lived in Anaheim for the past 17 years. She is survived by her husband, Charles when the roll calls were taken, the Byrnes amendment was defeated 58-to-25, the Robinson amendment 49-to-34—Democratic stalwarts like Harrison, Glass, Byrnes, Pittman, Bankhead, Bailey, Conally, Clark and Russell supporting Joseph T. Robinson instead of Franklin D. Roosevelt. CROWDED OUT— WASHINGTON—All last spring Secretary of Agriculture Wallace was busy concocting with the aid of farm leaders a new farm bill to succeed the Soil Conservation act hurriedly passed by congress when AAA was invalidated. Permanent and inclusive, his program was to begin with soil conservation payments, continue with the ever-normal granary (Joseph) plan, and be driven home with production control when the ever-normal granary gets abnormally full. Although Franklin Roosevelt hoped congress would take action on the Wallace program, he did not put it on his "ought" list. Into Secretary Wallace's office last week marched a delegation, headed by Democratic Senate Leader Joseph T. Robinson, to tell him his bill would boost the government's expenses about $100,-000,000 next year, that it was late in the season and congress has much to do. On condition that congressional committees would continue study of his plan this summer and have everything ready for action next January, Secretary Wallace gave in.

The resolution was passed upon at the conclusion of an open forum meeting held in Fullerton which about 80 persons attended. The meeting was arranged and presented by LeRoy Lyon, chairman of the water committee for the associated chambers of commerce. Nine speakers from almost every sector of the county expressed views and facts about the program upon which a bond election seeking $2,500,000 will be held on July 27. Unanimity of opinion was evidenced during the scheduled talks and when other individuals expressed their opinions when called upon by the chairman. Nine Speakers Speakers were Herman Hiltscher, city engineer of Fullerton, Building Permits for Six Months Surpass Last Year Anaheim saw more building activity during the first six months of the year than during the same period last year. Building Inspector R. Nyboe reported this morning. Total for the first half of this year is $234,523, compared with $229,126 during the opening six months of 1936. A gain of nearly $7,000 in permits issued during June of this year was recorded over the same month last year. Twenty permits were issued last month having a valuation of $30,344. June 1936 had 16 permits valued at $23,485. The second half of the year started well today with a $2,000 permit issued to Georgia W. Williams for a new dwelling at 941 N. Helena street. Booster Body of City Completed Successful Year Annual Report of Active Made Today by George W. Reid, Secretary The Anaheim chamber of mercy yesterday closed one of most active years. Secrete George W. Reid, in his annual report to members of the board directors, reviewed some of more important activities of organization. The chamber of commerce directed during the past year Victor G. Loly, while Harry C. thur was chosen last Thursday the directors to serve as presiding during the coming twelve months.

She is by her husband, Charles Nine Speakers Speakers were Herman Hiltscher, city engineer of Fullerton, L. A. Hogue, former mayor of Brea, Willis Warner of Huntington Beach, chairman of the Orange county water district board, George H. Pickering of LaHabra, Brad Hillis of the Irvine company, Ray Wheatly, La Habra, S. C. Hartranft, Anaheim, Dian Garder, Orange, and Supervisor Wil- ard. Smith. The problem of flood control must be gotten at from the source, Hiltscher declared in explaining how the project would affect Fullerton. The city of Fullerton spent $15,000 last year in cleaning and repairing streets after the winter storms. Progress Handicapped "Until action is taken to control floods and conserve the water supply the progress of Orange county is handicapped," Hiltscher said in explaining why he favors passing of the bond election. While Brea is not directly affected by the project, nevertheless he favors the bond election, Hogue declared. Approval of the project by the army engineers is sufficient to warrant his support, he said. Huntington Beach's prosperity is dependent to a large extent upon the prosperity of the surrounding communities, Warner declared, and for that reason he feels that the bond issue should carry. La Habra Changes Pickering, representing a district which has previously opposed bond elections for flood control, declared that sentiment in La Habra is changing. He gave important reasons why the issue should carry the fact that "it is not wise to fight necessary public improvements" and that business would be increased by extendi- tures made during construction. Wheatly spoke along the same (Continued on Page 8) Campbell Seated As Club Loader Rates Lowered By Gas Company "Three-Use" Schedule Droped as New Plan Goes Into Effect Today New, lower rates for Southern Counties Gas companies consumers went into effect today. The new rate was announced earlier this week by Wallace L. Ware, president of the California Railroad commission. The reduction in rates resulted from an informal investigation of the company by the commission's staff, followed by negotiations for an adjustment of charges. The change eliminates the "three-use" schedule and makes lower charges available to all domestic customers with bills over $2 a month. "It is estimated that the rate reduction to become effective today will save customers of the Southern Counties Gas company in the Eastern division approximately $35,000 a year," according to F. G. Merker, district manager. "Despite the fact that household commodity prices have been rising steadily, natural gas rates have been consistently lowered. In fact, the cumulative reductions in this area since 1930 represent savings to customers of $181,037 a year, compared with 1930 rates. "Since 1918 the average domestic consumer in this district, using 3,000 cubic feet of gas a month, has enjoyed lower rates than the domestic consumer in metropolitan Los Angeles using the same amount. In this area 3,000 cubic feet of gas costs $2.50 whereas in Los Angeles the charge is $2.55." County Workers Win Wage Gains Higher hourly rates for vegetable workers in Orange county went into effect this morning, affecting between 2,000 and 3,000 workers.
