Authorization for the invitation for proposals was given by the city council at its regular meeting Tuesday evening. The trustees also authorized a call for bids to furnish approximately 40 tons of chlorine gas to be used at various locations along the Orange county joint outfall sewer. The city at this time is preparing to purchase materials necessary for the installation of underground pipe work at the new park as well as laying the groundwork for the repaving of La Palma avenue. Material Sought Included in the material needed for the work at the park are several different types of cast iron water pipe, cast iron fittings, cast iron valve boxes, galvanized pipe, sprinkler heads, electrical conduit and cement.

It as revealed today by L. C. Herron, president of the Anaheim Merchants association. Business owners and their employees have agreed to park their automobiles on side streets and at the rear of buildings in order that those patronizing the stores may find more parking facilities on Center and Los Angeles streets. Officers have been specially instructed by Police Chief James S. Bouldin to mark cars in the principal business blocks and issue tags if these vehicles are left on the street more than two hours. Glenn Hipes New Citrus Manager Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn. Announces Appointment This Morning Announcement was made today that Glenn Hipes has been appointed as manager of the Anaheim Service Club Gives City Crossing Signs School Zone Warnings Are Presented to Council By 20-30 Group Through the efforts of the Anaheim 20-30 club, young men's service organization, school crossings within the city of Anaheim will be designated by a new type sign. The principal feature of the warning sign is the life-like reproduction of a school girl. This sign is a proven attention attracter, having been in use in Santa Ana and Orange for some time. Six of the girl-type warning signs will be placed at school crossings within a short time as the result of action of the city council Tuesday night in accepting the signs as a gift from the 20-30 club. It has not been determined yet where the signs will be located. The city already owns two similar signs which are built in the shape of a school girl. These, however, are smaller and of somewhat different design and are not considered as effective as the type presented to the city by the service organization. Experimental Purposes Don Vance, president of the 20-30 club, made the presentation to the council. The first six signs Material Sought Included in the material needed for the work at the park are several different types of cast iron water pipe, cast iron fittings, cast iron valve boxes, galvanized pipe, sprinkler heads, electrical conduit and cement. The city will also purchase disintegrated granite to be used as a base for the surfacing of La Palma avenue. Surfacing for the street will either be plant-mixed or pre-mixed wearing material. A crew of 100 men, furnished by WPA and under the direct supervision of Park Superintendent Rudy Boysen, started work at the park today. Rental of several pieces of equipment to be used at the park and on the street work was also authorized by the council Tuesday. Included in this equipment are a tractor, power wench and a large grading and scraping tractor. Authorization was given following recommendations of the public improvement committee of the council. Ordinance Passed The council also passed Ordinance No. 615, naming certain streets within the city as boulevards. This opens the way for the installation of several additional boulevard stop signs, location of which will be determined later. Three thousand dollars was ordered transferred from the general fund to the special gas tax street improvement fund to cover current amounts against the Santa Ana street paving project. This money will be returned to the general fund when the city receives its money from the state from the one-quarter cent gasoline tax.

Announces Appointment This Morning Announcement was made today that Glenn Hipes has been appointed as manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association, succeeding John D. Dunn who resigned recently. The announcement was made by F. H. Zaiser, president of the association. "Hipes is a man of sterling qualities and has had many years experience in the citrus industry. He has been highly recommended by the California Fruit Growers exchange, and others," President Zaiser said today. "The board of directors gave this matter a great deal of attention, and we feel sure that our growers will congratulate us on making this choice." Zaiser added. The new manager will take over his duties and meet the members of the association shortly after the first of the year, it was said. Zaiser also revealed that a new field foreman has been named for the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association.

The city already owns two similar signs which are built in the shape of a school girl. These, however, are smaller and of somewhat different design and are not considered as effective as the type presented to the city by the service organization. Experimental Purposes Don Vance, president of the 20-30 club, made the presentation to the council. The first six signs are intended principally for experimental purposes and if they prove satisfactory and effective the service group declared that it is its plan to endeavor to furnish to the city a sufficient number of signs to protect each of the school crossings in the city. At least 30 of the signs will be needed, it was said. The new sign is an almost life-size reproduction of a school girl. She is clad in a red dress which is designed to attract attention and also has black hair. The girl is holding a sign warning motorists that they are approaching a school crossing. The sign was designed by a police officer at Orange who is a member of the 20-30 club of that city, it was said. Added incentive was given the council to accept the offer of the 20-30 club by a letter from the Fremont Automobile club presenting a report of the activity of its members in ascertaining the reaction of the public to the girl-type signs. The school organization had previously petitioned the council to place this type sign at all crossings. The council at that time asked the automobile club members to contact adults to learn their reactio nto the sign. A large number of letters were sent out by the club which received a high percentage of response. Those answering the letters were practically unanimous in their approval of the girl-type sign. The club's communication to the council Tuesday evening quoted several of the statements received. Representing the Fremont Automobile club were Pat Brosnan and Lee Thaxton.

In announcing that the marketing contract between the Central Orange Citrus exchange and the California Fruit Growers exchange had been cancelled, the board of directors of the latter organization issued a lengthy statement charged the Anaheim Community Growers and the Associated Anaheim Growers with "repeated flagrant violations of their contract" and with "failure to comply with repeated requests for an accounting to the exchange of shipments." The two houses named are the only members of the district exchange unit.

The chain of circumstances leading up to this decision includes repeated flagrant violations of their contract by the two local associations through the district ex- change named, followed by failure to comply with repeated requests for an accounting to the exchange of shipments. The California Fruit Growers exchange, which now consists of over 14,000 citrus growers, has a 44 year record of service to these growers that has been built and that endures on genuine cooperation and playing the game. Our growers believe in working together for our common good. The practices of the local groups in question have become widely known among growers, especially in Orange county and are very disturbing to the great majority of loyal members. For Best Interests It was therefore decided that the best interest of the entire membership of the exchange would be served by severing relations with this district exchange and the two associations that constitute its membership. Such non-cooperative and detrimental practices and policies are strongly disapproved by our membership. We feel certain that the management of these organizations in question have acted without knowledge or approval of many of their grower members and directors. We certainly have no wish to hold these growers responsible for such action by their management or deprive them of the use and facilities of such growers always welcome in the exchange."

Dog That Killed Another Sought Poundmaster Issues Warning and Requests Report if Animal is Seen A warning was issued today by Fred Robinson, city poundmaster, to residents of the city and espe- Justice Kuchel Withdraws Self As Trial Judge Deputy District Attorney is Accused of Violating County Ordinance Accused of receiving a monthly retains fee from private practice, in the face of the county salary ordinance which prohibits it. Deputy District Attorney Harold McCabe this morning admitted such a charge in the local justice of the peace courtroom, which saw Judge Charles Kuchel voluntarily decline to continue as judge in the case against Edward Mills, Jerry Miller, and the Western Fruit Growers; on charges of packing and shipping fruit which exceeded the tolerance of freezing allowed by the state agricultural code. McCabe sought to justify his disregard of the ordinance by saying that Attorney-General U. S. Webb had said the ordinance was unconstitutional, and that, further, his private practice was unfinished business, which the district attorney permitted him to conclude. No testimony was taken concerning the motion for disqualification, the judge removing himself from further steps in the proceeding of his own accord. Jury Dismissed Dog That Killed Another Sought Poundmaster Issues Warning and Requests Report if Animal is Seen A warning was issued today by Fred Robinson, city poundmaster, to residents of the city and especially in the northeastern section, to be on the alert for a large brown police dog which has been running loose for several days. "If this dog is seen please notify me at once at the police station," Robinson declared. "I do not wish to unduly alarm residents of this city in asking them to be on the look out for this dog. However, he is known to have attacked and killed a smaller dog in a manner similar to a recent case in La Habra where the dog was found to be a positive case of rabies." The poundmaster also requested that any persons in Anaheim owning a large police dog of this type that had been loose during the past week end to inform so that the dog may be placed under examination. The dog for which Robinson is searching is thought to carry a license tag, but it is not known whether the tag was issued by the city of Anaheim or some other city. Robinson also requested that persons living in the northeastern section of town and owning dogs keep their animals tied for the next few weeks and observe them closely. Should any animal behave in a manner other than normal the poundmaster should be notified immediately. Caswell Honored by Grand Lodge Anaheim Knights of Pythias lodge last Monday evening conferred the second degree to 14 men, nine of whom were Anaheim residents, and five from Belvedere Gardens. More than 85 men witnessed the ceremony. A special guest of the meeting was Wilbert C. Hamilton of Los Angeles grand vice chancellor of Pythias. That Attorney-General U. S. Webb had said the ordinance was unconstitutional, and that, further, his private practice was unfinished business, which the district attorney permitted him to conclude. No testimony was taken concerning the motion for disqualification, the judge removing himself from further steps in the proceeding of his own accord. Jury Dismissed The jury hearing the evidence at the first trial which lasted about three weeks was discharged late Saturday afternoon when they became hopelessly deadlocked. It was reported that the nine women and three men were evenly divided for acquittal and conviction. The case attracted county-wide attention early this week when several daily newspapers carried stories quoting McCabe as charging that Assemblyman Thomas H. Kuchel had attempted to have the charges withdrawn. These stories appeared Monday evening and Tuesday evening the same newspapers printed further information which proved that the charges were false. Assertion False The charges where made, it was said, when McCabe released to the press the contents of an affidavit he filed before Judge Kuchel seeking the change of venue on the grounds that Assemblyman Kuchel, a nephew of the judge, was attorney for Mills. The deputy district attorney is quoted as saying that the affidavit declares that the assemblyman had sought withdrawal of the criminal charges. Reading of the document proves that McCabe's assertion is not true. Assemblyman Kuchel, in a statement to the press Tuesday, declared that he did interview two of the inspectors as charged, but that the interview was held the day before criminal charges were filed and was for the purpose of requesting the inspectors to permit all fruit which came under the terms of the agricultural code to be shipped. The assemblyman also declared that he had asked a certain inspector be transferred from this district and replaced by another so that a test of his inspections could be made to see if they were biased or not. This, he pointed out, he would have taken for any group of persons who felt they were being discriminated against. The Lieb Granted Awards at Show Leib, Jr., 207 N.
