Kadical Influence in Government is Steadily Growing Secretary of Booster Body at Santa Ana Tells of Present Problem Destruction of business as it has been known in the United States is the objective of subversive influences which are becoming powerful in governmental administration, declared Howard I. Wood, secretary of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce while speaking to directors of the Anaheim chamber yesterday noon. These subversive influences have gained greater strength than most people realize, he said, and declared that more localized control of government is essential in breaking this strength. Local Control Sought Wood's remarks were made during his explanation of the efforts the Santa Ana chamber of commerce is seeking to return control of state relief and old-age pensions to the counties. The campaign was started after a survey of Santa Ana business men showed that most of their problems are the result of governmental inter- Local Control Sought Wood's remarks were made during his explanation of the efforts the Santa Ana chamber of commerce is seeking to return control of state relief and old-age pensions to the counties. The campaign was started after a survey of Santa Ana business men showed that most of their problems are the result of governmental interference is one form or another. In order to break down political control of relief and old-age pensions some one group must be the focal point, the Santa Ana organization believes. It is the contention of that body that the problem must be attacked from the bottom and not from the top as has been unsuccessfully attempted in the past. Seek Work Relief The first step advocated by the Santa Ana chamber is a work relief program to supplant the direct dole system. This method was tried successfully in Santa Barbara county and found to reduce the relief load by 50 per cent. Work relief, however, is only the first step in the solution, Wood said. Wood was accompanied by Kenneth Adams, research secretary of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce. Question of the proper course of action to be followed by the Anaheim chamber of commerce is obtaining a professional baseball club to train at La Palma stadium next spring was discussed to some length. A letter which Secretary John A. Morgan received from Bob Quinn, president of the Boston Bees, informing the chamber that Boston had always received a guarantee from the city in which it trained was read. Morgan also read his reply, which stated the basis upon which La Palma stadium would be available. May Visit Here Quinn previously indicated that he would be in southern California during May, and Morgan invited him to come to Anaheim to further discuss the matter. The secretary was also instructed to write to the Seattle club informing them that negotiations are now being opened by the (Continued on Page 6) Driver is Unhurt Feeling of Fear Threat to Peace Dr. Graham C. Hunter Warns Against Propaganda in Address to Boys With an entreaty to beware of foreign propaganda and to assume a more conciliatory attitude toward other nations, Dr. Graham C. Hunter, pastor of the Fullerton Presbyterian church, spoke to the Senior H-Y club Tuesday night on the subject of "Foreign Affairs and Relations." Hunter cited the prevailing feelings of distrust and fear between nations as the most threatening toe of peace and civilization. He criticised influencers of public opinion such as the press, radio, and movies for their part in perpetuating rumors of war's imminence. Nationalism Abounds Quoting the man who was in charge of the British Broadcasting system in Spain during the civil war there, Hunter said that there is more hatred and nationalism in the United States than in many European nations. That nationalistic policies and feelings should be abolished was recommended. Hunter said that we should carefully weigh foreign reports and refuse to be stampeded by the propaganda which permeates our country. He left with the boys the challenge that it is their responsibility to steer clear of ill feelings toward other nations and to promote good will. Entertainment Given Entertainment featured prior to Dr. Hunter's talk was two accordion numbers played by Marilyn Rogers, popular high school girl. She played "Little Skipper" and "Ferdinand." Also interesting to the boys were the announcements concerning YMCA summer camps. J. B. Wilbur disclosed that the southern California Hi-Y training camp is to be held at Catalina Island this year. President Keith Beebe emphasized that the boys should be considering candidates for next year's officers—as the annual election will be held next Tuesday evening. to Anaheim from Philadelphia with their family in the early 70's.

His office was in a small frame building several doors west of the old adobe building which occupied the present site of the J. C. Penney company store. Jack Landell was constable here before Orange county was formed about 50 years ago, and he and Ed Pellegrin leased and managed the old Reiser's opera house which stood on the northwest corner of Center and Olive streets. They brought many good shows and operas to Anaheim. Some 40 years ago he moved to San Juan Capistrano, where he became the alcalde. He held that office until his death Saturday. Oldest Peace Officer Judge Landell was known as the oldest peace officer in the state from point of years served.

Corona Man Given Maximum Penalty Ignacio Plasencia, 21, Corona ranch worker, has the dubious distinction of being the first person to receive the maximum penalty for misdemeanor drunk driving charge in Anaheim city court. He is now in the Orange county jail serving 250 days in lieu of paying a fine of $500. Plasencia was arrested at 1 o'clock Saturday morning a few minutes after he had crashed his car against a city limit sign on East Center street and been thrown from the vehicle. He was attempting to drive away when police officers arrived and took him into custody. Driver is Unhurt in Crash Sunday George Dirken, Jr., of Norwalk had a narrow escape from serious injury in an unusual accident here early Sunday morning, according to police records. Dirken, according to his statement to police, was driving north on Los Angeles street when he lost control of his car at South streets.

FREMONT SCHOOL WILL BE DEDICATED TUESDAY EVENING Formal program dedicating the new John C. Fremont school building will be held next Tuesday evening, according to Superintendent of Schools M. A. Gauer. The event will be held in the auditorium of the new structure starting at 7:30 o'clock. John C. Fremont building was officially accepted from the contractor this afternoon following an inspection conducted by Gauer, members of the school board and Public Works administration officials. The new edifice is the last in a building program carried out by Charles Robinson New Coordinator Recommendation of Probation Committee Confirmed by Supervisors Tuesday Charles A. Robinson, a former deputy assessor, was named to the post of county coordinator of juvenile affairs by the board of supervisors Tuesday, but only after a long and bitter argument the Anaheim elementary school district at a cost of approximately $500,000. Public Works administration provided a considerable amount of the total expenditures. Two-Story Structure The new building is in reality two buildings, one being the main structure on the other the gymnasium. The latter was constructed alongside the main structure and is connected to it by corridor. The main building is of two stories and includes an auditorium, class rooms, library and offices. The auditorium is in the center of the building, flanked on either side by classrooms. At the front are the offices of the principal, student consultation room, teachers' room and two classrooms. At the back of the auditorium are the property room, girls locker and shower room and book room. Library Upstairs The upstairs houses the library, projection room and four classrooms. The entire building is fireproof and earthquake proof and is a Class A structure.

Hansen were unanimously elected president and vice president, respectively, of the Anaheim Merchant association at this morning's meeting of the business group at the Marigold cafe. They will be installed for a one-year term on June 1. The election came immediately after H. E. W. Barnes had presented the report of the nominating committee. The report also recommended that a board of directors of seven be chosen to work with the officers. It was suggested that President-elect Price, Presider Everett M. Cone, Past President L. C. Herron and Herbert Eldred and Hanson select the names of 15 persons to be voted upon by the membership. The report was approved. Opposes Legislation The association went on record as opposing pending legislation which would place restrictions on New Coordinator Recommendation of Probation Committee Confirmed by Supervisors Tuesday Charles A. Robinson, a former deputy assessor, was named to the post of county coordinator of juvenile affairs by the board of supervisors Tuesday, but only after a long and bitter argument among the supervisors. The appointment was confirmed by a three to two vote, Supervisors Harry D. Riley, Willis H. Warner and Willard Smith voting in the affirmative. The appointment of Robinson was recommended by the county probation committee and Superior Judge Homer G. Ames, who is in charge of the juvenile court. The recommendation had been laid before the board of supervisors a week ago, but no action was taken at that time. Robinson Qualified The argument Tuesday centered around Robinson's qualifications. Supervisors N. E. West and Steele Finley said they had no objections to Robinson, but they did lack confidence in the county probation committee and did not wish to accept its recommendation without ascertaining Robinson's qualifications for themselves. They urged delay in bringing the matter to a vote, saying they might vote for the appointment after satisfying themselves. Riley and Warner stood firmly behind the probation committee. Warner pointed out that he had investigated Robinson's credentials since the recommendation was presented a week ago and found them to be thoroughly satisfactory. Riley expressed complete confidence in the probation committee. The post of county coordinator was created last year by an ordinance, to become effective the first of this year. The appointment had been delayed, however, until this time. Weisel is Named Rotary President Activities of the Anaheim Rotary club will be directed during the next year by P. J. Weisel.

Earl E. Smith, a member of the board of trustees, will give the dedication speech, and the building will be accepted by Wilbert Bonney, principal of Fremont school. Musical Program Musical entertainment will be provided by the Fremont orchestra, the Fremont Trouveres and the school's glee club. Persons who played important parts in construction of the new building as well as civic leaders will be platform guests and will be introduced by Gauer, who will preside. A public inspection of the building will be conducted following the program. To accommodate the crowd which is expected to exceed the 750 capacity of the auditorium, the entire dedication program will be broadcast over the school's public address system. This will enable those who wish to move about throughout the building an opportunity to do so and still hear the program. Grant for Park Assured to City Assurance that the Works Progress administration would approve a grant of $7590 to the city of Anaheim was received by city officials Monday from Congressman Harry R.

Junior Class to Present Comedy "Anybody's Game" to be given at School-Auditorium Tomorrow Night Students of the junior class of Anaheim union high school will present as their annual class play tomorrow evening at the high school auditorium, "Anybody's Game," a comedy in three acts. The performance is scheduled to Defending Army Protects County From Attackers Tactical Exercises are Held in Orange County over Past Week End Repulsion of the invading "red" army by the defending "blue" army was accomplished during the two-day war maneuvers conducted in Orange county Saturady and Sunday. According to Col. E. A. Evans, commanding officer of the nine anti-aircraft regiments protecting the forward march of the mythical United States "army" of 240,000 men, the invaders were driven back more than 10 miles from their former front line extending from Riverside to Newport Bay when the games were halted. Had the tactical exercises been continued the "enemy" eventually would be shoved back into Mexico. Equipment Shortage While the hypothetical "Fourth army" of the U.S. succeeded in pushing back the enemy, it was done without actual equipment—for little exists.

The performance is scheduled to start at 8 o'clock. A student matinee was given this afternoon. Dorothy Duncan, Helen Har-grove, Rosella Harden and Herbert Heinze are the leading players in the comedy which centers around the activities of a space buyer for an advertising agency. Helen Har-grove and Rosella Harden portray the same character, the former playing the part this afternoon and the latter this evening. Double Cast Two actors were selected by Miss Helen Grant, director, for most of the feminine roles, and one male role, with one cast taking part in the matinee and the other in the evening performance. Those playing less important roles than the leads are Bill Helling, Betty Hawkins, Corinne Rommel, Bob Dodge, Connie Smith, Laurine Anthony, Duncan Wimpress, Willard Adams, Richard Lindsay, Bob Barnes, Lorraine Merchant, Mavis Link, Paul Calaway, Melvin Crain, Gene Wilson, Muriel Barnes, Nancy Webb, Marilyn Hargrove and Betty Potvin. Amusing Situations "Anybody's Game" is the story of Jimmie Craig, who stumbles into an advertising agency to sell silk hosiery. He is mistaken for a Mr. Simmons, who is to fill the position as space buyer for the agency. Craig's trials and tribulations produce many laughs, with the high spot coming when Mrs. Simmons comes to reclaim her husband and the real Mr. Simmons appears on the scene. The production staff includes Barbara Kahl, properties, Bob Edwards, sound affects; Muriel Barnes and Nancy Webb, prompters and Bill Helling and Willard Adams, publicity. Miss Edith Webber of the art department was in charge of designing the sets. The Anaheim union high school orchestra, under the direction of J.: W. Williams, will play before the production and during their former front line extending from Riverside to Newport Bay when the games were halted. Had the tactical exercises been continued the "enemy" eventually would be shoved back into Mexico. Equipment Shortage While the hypothetical "Fourth army" of the U. S. succeeded in pushing back the enemy, it was done without actual equipment—for little exists. Only four anti-aircraft guns served in the offensive. From the 63rd coast artillery at Fort MacArthur and commanded by Col. E. S. Stockton, jr., of the regular army, this single battery represents one-third of the available, staffed mobile air guns on the west coast. "Our maneuvers," said Col. Evans, "proved the crying need for many more guns. The men acquitted themselves admirably, with the exception of a few minor mistakes chiefly caused by the lack of practice." "Well Pleased" Chief umpire for the games, Col. Paul D. Bunker, who is executive officer of southern California's coast artillery reserve, concurred with this statement, saying, "I am well pleased with the work." For two hours Sunday afternoon the 250 officers who toiled most of the previous night installing their mythical gun batteries—composed of flag-decorated stakes—heard the umpires criticise their accuracy of emplacement, and comment on the effectiveness of the "barrage." Aerial "Attack" On a huge southland map, concentric circles representing each battery's useful range illustrated how 72 guns would have spread a lethal blanket to save Orange county from invading aircraft. Most spectacular of the day's events was an "attack" by nine combat planes from Long Beach, led by Capt. L. Wallace Sweetser, Jr., of the army air corps reserve. Umpires agreed, however, that machine-gun nests surrounded each antiaircraft emplacement "wiped out" the ships before they reached their objective—four real guns shrouded behind camouflage in a dump a mile east of Orange. Homer Cheney is Speaker of Club Growth of anti-semitic feeling throughout Homer Cheney is Speaker of Club Growth of anti-semitic feeling throughout the south and the middle west was discussed by Homer Cheney of Santa Ana at the meeting last Friday noon of the Anaheim Lions club. Cheney recently returned from a trip through those areas. The bund system is also increasing in strength, the speaker said. Cheney also told of what he called the recent political revolt in South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, which he said was a revolt against usurpation of fundamental rights and political machines. The speaker concluded his remarks by touching upon the citrus situation, Bulk shipments of Florida fruit and a too large spread between retail prices and returns to growers are chief reasons for the troubles within the industry. Soil Management is Discussion Subject A soil management school will be held tomorrow at Garden Grove high school auditorium. The class will start at 9:30 o'clock and conclude at 3:30 o'clock. Among the speakers will be W. R. Schoenover, J. B. Brown, M. R. Hubert and A. F. Pillsbury. Problems of irrigation, fertilization, cultivation, cover cropping, thin soils and others will be discussed.
