Harry Sheppard Tells Progress of Welfare Act Congressman Addresses 759 Persons at City Park Tuesday Evening The expected report by Congressman Harry R. Sheppard of legislation passed and pending in congress which affects Orange county became little more than a bombastic tirade against certain leaders of the Townsend movement when the congressman spoke before about 750 persons in the city park amphitheater last Tuesday evening. Despite the presence of a number of Townsend club leaders on the stage and the closing of the meeting with the Townsend pledge, the meeting was not sponsored by Anaheim Townsend club. A regular meeting of the club was the same time Sheppard was speaking. Tells of Rift Although the congressman opened his address with a few remarks about the status of the flood control project he quickly swung into a discussion of the general welfare act and the widely-publicized rift, between Dr. Francis E. Townsend and some of his recently-resigned national officers. Sheppard traced the progress of the act from the time it was introduced in the house of representatives. He told of the appoint- Births Exceed Deaths During Half-Year Period Births in Anaheim city and township during the first six months of the year exceeded deaths, according to records kept by City Clerk Charles E. Griffith. Total births during the period was 119 as compared with 99 deaths. Last month 26 children were born and 20 persons passed away, Griffith reported. Fourth of July Passes Quietly Only Two Persons Injured Here Over Week End; Four Arrested Anaheim experienced a quiet Fourth of July as far as law violation and personal injuries are concerned. Police officers reported one of the quietest celebrations in the history of the city. Noise from firecrackers and other celebration devices continued almost unabated, however, from Saturday through Monday. Only one person was injured by fireworks severely enough to come to the attention of the police department. One other person suffered minor injuries in an automobile accident. One person was arrested for driving while intoxicated and three others were taken into custody for drunkenness. Anaheim Second In Retail Sales For Fiscal Year Santa Ana Leads County In Trade. Annual Report of Board Shows Official confirmation that Anaheim is the leading retail business community of its size in Orange county was given last week when the state board of equalization, through its sales tax division, released its annual report on the amount of retail sales made during the past year. The figures released in the report do not cover food sales or sale of gasoline, it was said. Both are exempt from the provisions of the state sales tax law, gasoline sales being taxed under a separate act. Total $5,074,850 Retail sales in Anaheim during the past fiscal year amounted to $5,074,850, the report shows. This total is exceeded in the county only by Santa Ana, population of which is about three times that of Anaheim. Santa Ana's total was given as $16,646,444. In addition to the figure of a little more than $5,000,000 for this city the state board of equalization estimates that food sales would add approximately 20 per cent to the total. The estimate of all retail sales with the exception of gasoline was given as about Although the congressman opened his address with a few remarks about the status of the flood control project he quickly swung into a discussion of the general welfare act and the widely-publicized rift between Dr. Francis E. Townsend and some of his recently-resigned national officers. Sheppard traced the progress of the act from the time it was introduced in the house of representatives. He told of the appointment of a steering committee by Dr. Townsend. He outlined the bill's procedure to the ways and means committee where it became "frozen." Immediately thereafter a petition was filed by Sheppard to discharge the ways and means committee, the speaker declared. Efforts have since been made to obtain the required number of signatures. Issue is Raised "Things were going smoothly until the supreme court issue popped up," Sheppard declared. "Dr. Townsend's reported statement that he would seek the defeat of any congressman voting in favor of the plan caused a great turmoil on the floor of the house." The congressman quoted Dr. Townsend as declaring his opposition to the supreme court plan during a conference with the welfare act's steering committee and added that Dr. Townsend declared he thought the supreme court issue more important than the Townsend movement. It was after that statement, Sheppard said, that the steering committee passed a resolution urging Townsend clubs to change their names to that of the General Welfare clubs. Criticism Caustie Sheppard was caustic in his criticism of some of the Townsend club leaders, especially J. H. Walsh, 19th district manager. He declared repeatedly he promised during his election campaign to fight for the Townsend plan and that he would wear the "bull ring" of no man in his nose. He assured the group that he had kept his promise. Reports from Riverside following his address there that Sheppard was advocating a new plan of his own were forcefully denied. The congressman closed his remarks by laudatory comment of President Franklin Roosevelt. Harry D. Riley, active Town- Noise from firecrackers and other celebration devices continued almost unabated, however, from Saturday through Monday.

Reports from Riverside following his address there that Sheppard was advocating a new plan of his own were forcefully denied.

If given approval at San Diego the request for funds will be sent to San Francisco for further ratification and then to Washington for the final approval of WPA heads.

At that time the councilmen passed a resolution calling for the submission of project proposal number three to WPA for preliminary development of the park.

Members of the club's advisory board for the same period will be mitted for approval. Given Approval The city council put its stamp of approval on the application at a special called meeting held Tuesday morning. At that time the councilmen passed a resolution calling for the submission of project proposal number three to WPA for preliminary development of the park. Work to be carried out under the project includes grading, planting of large palm trees, laying sewer and sprinkling system, and the construction of drainage structures; grandstand and wading pool. The cost of the project as stated on the application for a WPA grant is $89,324, somewhat less than the original project. Most of the revision made in the new application were caused by changes in WPA requirements, it was declared. Funds Available The federal government, if it approves the project, will provide 73 per cent of the cost, leaving the city to pay only $23,891. Funds are already available for the city's share of the expense, it was pointed out. Labor will benefit to the sum of $61,862 in the project. Materials will cost $27,462. Between 150 and 160 men will be employed on the average, it was declared. It is expected that the work can not be completed in less than eight months after it is started. City officials are of the opinion that WPA authorities will act upon the request with more speed than normally due to the fact that the project is almost identical with the previous proposal submitted that was given approval on all but one item. Every effort is being made by the city to hasten action of the application in order than work on the park may be begun as soon as possible. Henderson Gives Principal Speech Dr. M. M.
