Unique Play is Being Shown at Beach Theater Finally filling a long ignored niche, a summer stock company steps into Laguna Beach. Frederick Rath is responsible for the venture and his present plans ‘call for a ten week season, presenting current and recent Broadway hits with professional talent. Novelty, in various phases, is the keynote of the play "The Night of January 16th" which opened the season Tuesday, for a six nights’ run at the playhouse in Laguna Beach. Rath has chosen wisely in selecting this court room drama for his first production. It is filled with suspense from the rising of the curtain until the jury retires to reach its verdict, which is the peak of the suspense, for one of the novel features is the jury. As the play opens the jury box is empty. It is filled by a jury called from the audience, who take their places, listen to the evidence presented and retire to reach their verdict. Two endings to the play to fit either verdict make possible, with different juries different nights, different endings. Material for difference in opinion abounds and the evidence is well-balanced, leaving the final decision entirely to those who have heard for the first time.

THOMPSON Managing Director WASHINGTON SNAPSHOTS A lot of the nation's lawmakers who thought they were casting bread upon the waters by voting for broad legislation in behalf of labor unions now find that instead they hurled a boomrang which threatens to smack them right between the eyes. The reason was that, at the insistence of the labor lobbyists, the legislators decided to impose no restrictions whatsoever upon the unions. Now, after a year and a half, the returns are coming in not only from the back home precincts but from the capital itself. There is one angle causing particularly furrowed brows. Although public opinion, to say the very least, is not friendly toward the C.I.O., the C.I.O. leaders are feeling pretty cocky these days. They are collecting millions monthly in dues and assessments, and are preparing to move not only into a remodeled six-story office building which they just bought, but also onto the farms. The congressmen who hail from rural sections thought it was all right for industrial employees to join unions. But they left the farm field open to unions too—to their regret. So the Southern Tenant Farmers union called a notional convention at Denver to get all cannery packing house and agricultural employees into one big big union, affiliated with John Lewis and the C. I. O. The announcement of the call for that meeting said, in part: "In agriculture, we cannot organize along craft lines of separate unions for each type of work. We must clearly build a union including all workers in agricultural and related fields, such as canneries, packing houses, etc." Part of the union idea is that when employees in a certain factory want shorter hours or higher pay, they call in a union official to know more than company officials about company profits and losses. A great many of the rural congressmen are wondering how the farmer will like it when some fellow from a different part of the country "descends upon him and threatens to take all the hands off the farm unless he gets a union contract for a 40-hour week at 40 cents an hour. At the same time the C.I.O. is conducting a big organizing campaign among congressional secretaries. It claims to be getting many new members daily. When, and if, the secretaries are sufficiently organized for a strike, that will play hob with many solons. For whether they like to admit it or not, there are many legislators who leave their offices entirely in the hands of their secretaries. The lawmakers would be lost if they had to see about getting a job for Bill Jones, or straightening out Tom Williams' benefit cheek. They wouldn't even know what telephone number to dial. Besides that, the C.I.O. has started another organizing campaign among federal government employees in general. Many of the legislators saw what might be coming in a recent statement by an existing federal employees' union, which wants to affiliate with the new C.I.O. movement. This union pointed out that "during the period of provisional organization" there will be no strikes or picketing against government departments. But naturally no promises were made about the future. So the legislators are wondering how many folks would laugh at them if all the department of agriculture employees joined the union and went on a sit-down strike. The law already keeps soldiers and sailors out of unions, but it says nothing about other federal socialite Commander Earl Winfield Spencer, U.S.N., first husband of the Duchess of Windsor, was married recently to Mrs. Norma Reese Johnson in Hollywood. LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF PUBLC HEARING NOTICE is hereby given by the City Council of the City of Anaheim that the Planning Commission of said city has filed with the City Clerk its final report in the matter of zoning of property within said city and the regulation and restrictions to be enforced in each zone. Said City Council will hold a public hearing at the City Hall in said city on Tuesday, July 29, 1937, at the hour of 7:30 P.M., for the purpose of considering said final report and affording all persons particularly interested, and the general-public, an opportunity to be heard. Dated July 14, 1937. The announcement of the call for that meeting said, in part: "In agriculture, we cannot organize along craft lines of separate unions for each type of work. We must clearly build a union including all workers in agricultural and related fields, such as canneries, packing houses, etc." Part of the union idea is that when employees in a certain factory want shorter hours or higher pay, they call in a union official from outside that factory to talk with the boss for them. Usually, that official knows very little about the conditions in that factory; but sometimes he even claims organization” there will be no strikes or picketing against government departments. But naturally no promises were made about the future.. So the legislators are wondering how many folks would laugh at them if all the department of agriculture employees joined the union and went on a sit-down strike. The law already keeps soldiers and sailors out of unions, but it says nothing about other federal employees. There are some whispers to the effect that legislation will be presented for bidding strikes and picketing by employees of the federal government.

The new excavation record showed an advance of 806 feet made in the Cabazon shaft sector of the tunnel, which is one of the links in the Metropolitan aqueduct from the Colorado river. In the report issued by F. E. Weymouth, general manager and chief engineer of the district, it was shown that the June record of the San Jacinto tunnel workers had exceeded the best previous record from any one shaft by 39 feet. This old record was established at Cabazon shaft in June, 1934. Approximately nine miles of the 13-mile tunnel had been excavated at midnight Saturday. Recognized as the most spectacular and difficult tunnel job on the entire 392-mile Metropolitan aqueduct system from the Colorado river, the San Jacinto bore is the only one on the big job that has not been completed. There are 38 separate tunnels, totaling 108 miles in length. Other sections of the aqueduct include concrete lined canals, covered conduits, inverted siphons, reservoirs, pumping plants, and pressure lines. Work on the main line of the giant aqueduct is now more than 75 per cent completed, Weymouth reported, and the entire system is scheduled to be ready to place in operation in 1939.
