World News Paragraphs "CAN'T STRIKE AGAINST GOVERNMENT" WASHINGTON, D. C. — "You cannot strike against the government" are the words used by President Franklin D. Roosevelt late last week discussing with newspapermen the WPA strikes which followed the new WPA wage scales. It was one of the few times the president has permitted a direct quotation. Strikes, however, continued, with bloody results in some localities. NEUTRALITY PLEA ACTION IMPROBABLE WASHINGTON, D. C. — In spite of a message to congress by Secretary of State Cordell Hull asking revival of President Roosevelt's neutrality plan, action on neutrality is not expected to be taken by congress during the present session. The appeal apparently did nothing to change the previously expressed opinion, by vote, of the senate foreign relations committee to shelve neutrality until next year. Senator Hiram Johnson of California charged that the administration program would embroil the United States in foreign wars.

Such was the declaration of Sidney Yates, West Anaheim citrus grower, before members of the Anaheim Merchants association this morning at the Marigold cafe. Yates is president of the Orange County Taxpayers association and is one of the leaders in a widespread campaign to adopt the "cost plus" policy by the citrus industry. Adoption of the plan would eliminate 90 per cent of the problems of the citrus grower, he declared. Production Costs Told The speaker traced the costs of producing citrus from the original investment through the expenditures for taxes, picking, hauling and packing the fruit and the cost of shipping the citrus to the eastern markets. In spite of this expense, he said, the grower has Ancient Watch In Possession of Anaheim Man A watch made in 1602 at London, England, by Joshua Wilson is the prized possession of Bob Nanney, Anaheim shoe repair man. The watch has been in his possession about a year and was given to him by his father-in-law, Joseph Neville, whose family had owned the timepiece since it was first purchased. The ancient watch has a chain drive movement and is wound by a key. The works are enclosed in a heavy, double, silver case, and the face has both Roman and Arabic numerals. The timepiece was in constant use until about five years ago when Neville dropped it and damaged it slightly. An expert watch repairman has said it could be repaired, but Nanney prefers to leave it just as it is as a keepsake.

Adoption of the plan would eliminate 90 per cent of the problems of the citrus grower, he declared. Production Costs Told The speaker traced the costs of producing citrus from the original investment through the expenditures for taxes, picking, hauling and packing the fruit and the cost of shipping the citrus to the eastern markets. In spite of this expense, he said, the grower has no voice in the returns the fruit will bring after it is placed upon the markets. During the past two or three years the grower has not received the cost of production, and as a result Orange county and the entire citrus belt is in a deplorable condition, Yates declared. Stabilization of price through the cost of production plus a reasonable profit plan is imperative, he said, and is easily accomplished through the establishing of a minimum price per box. The pro-rate sought to do this, the speaker declared, but failed in its purpose. Obtained Through AAA Such stabilization may be obtained through the AAA, Yates said, if 70 per cent of the citrus growers would sign a petition to place the citrus industry under an AAA code. Efforts to obtain the quota of signatures is now being made by the Amalgamated Citrus Growers association, he declared. Louis H.

License Service Definitely Lost Lack of funds was given as the reason for the discontinuation of the driver's license renewal office here in a letter received by the Anaheim city council Tuesday evening from Paul Mason, chief of the division of driver's licenses. The letter was in answer to a protest filed by the council when it was announced the service would be discontinued here.

Allocations of $1,383,000 for Brea dam and $32,500 for Fuller dam have not actually been approved yet, because they can under the 1936 flood control act and require approval of the president, the congressman said. Merely Routine Procedure However, he added, this procedure is routine and he has been advised that it will be complete within a short time. Sheppard's figures differ some what from earlier press dispatch from Washington, which announced the Prado dam constructive sum of $3,504,000, with $750.00 for reimbursement of Oran- Publicans Hear Tech by Kuchel Wyman One of Three Kickers on Program Thursday Night Than 150 persons gathered Anaheim Elks clubhouse yesterday evening for the of the Orange County Re-assembly and to hear Jay Assemblyman Thomas M.

Section Two of Sewer Complete Reconstruction Project Ends Tuesday Evening with New Line Built Reconstruction of section two of the joint outfall sewer was completed Tuesday evening, according to City Engineer E. P. Hapgood who is also engineer for section two. Work on section one will probably be completed by the end of August, Hapgood said. The entire line of section two, from Garden Grove to the site of the old screening plant, a total of 5.7 miles, was rebuilt under the project which was assisted by the federal government through Works Progress administration grants. In addition, section two joined with section one in building a combination debris pit, junction chamber and pump house, which is located where the old screening plant stood. Vitrified Clay Pipe The new line in section two, which was constructed of vitrified clay pipe with penchlor, acid-resisting, joints, includes approximately four miles of 27-inch pipe and 1.7 miles of 30-inch pipe, Hapgood said. Actual cost of the project will be ascertained when a complete report has been completed within the next two or three weeks, the engineer declared. Reconstruction of the pipeline was made necessary by the flood of March, 1938. Portions of the line had previously shown evidence of deterioration and the executive committee had been working on plans for its repair or reconstruction for sometime. The damage done by the flood was so extensive that it became advisable to replace the entire line as one project. Merely Routine Procedure However, he added, this procedure is routine and he has been advised that it will be completed within a short time. Sheppard's figures differ somewhat from earlier press dispatch from Washington, which announced the Prado dam construction sum of $3,504,000, with $750,000 for reimbursement of Orange county for moneys expended on rights-of-way and land purchase; also relocation of the state highway and Santa Fe railway. Sheppard's message contained no reference to any allocation for reimbursement, but she figure he cited for Prado construction was $20,000 higher than the earlier figure announced. Above Previous Figure His announced allocation of $383,000 for Brea dam was nearly million dollars above the figure previously announced, $406,000 Local officials said this might indicate plans of army engineers' rush that structure to complete within a shorter period than first planned. Other dispatches were also received in the county yesterday from Washington that were variance with Sheppard's figure on Prado dam allocations. The sources said that the chief of army engineers had allocated $2,600,000 for construction of Prado dam and $904,000 for purchases of land and rights-of-way and for relocation of highway and railroad which would be in the nature of reimbursement to Orange county. Official quarters in Orange county were left puzzled by the conflict of reports, but express an inclination to accept that Congressman Sheppard. Interest is High in Boat Regatt One of the most interesting features of the dedication of Palma park on August 5 will be the model boat regatta in the caiting pool, according to members the committee arranging the event. Several entries have been made and 10 boats are under construction at the YMCA for participation in the races. The regatta is open to anyone it was said.

Beard, son-in-law of Joe Wagner, Anaheim realtor, also operates the La Habra Valley nursery with his brother, Forrest Beard, and Edson Parsons. The speaker also told of work being done at the Riverside experiment station in elimination of scaly bark. Their tests give evidence of unseen disease in the stock, Beard said.

Orange County Supervisors Assure Riverside that Project Unaltered Fears of the Riverside county board of supervisors that Orange county planned to use the basin behind Prado dam for storage purposes were quelled Tuesday when the Orange county supervisors passed a resolution declaring that the original intention of using Prado dam for flood control only had not been changed. The resolution was forwarded to the Riverside supervisors. The resolution was passed upon request of the board of supervisors of Riverside county. The latter group had issued that a written statement of facts, telling whether Orange county had changed its plans regarding Prado dam, be filed with the Riverside board within 10 days. That action was taken last Monday and Orange county supervisors were informed on Tuesday. Riverside Alarmed Riverside county supervisors had heard, their resolution said, said that Orange county expected to use the dam for water storage as well as flood control, and the information had caused alarm in that county Riverside supervisors wished to take no action until they had obtained the truth of the situation from the Orange county board. Riverside county's consent to the construction of Prado dam by Orange county on Riverside county soil was gained by Orange county November 18, 1935, on the representations that the dam was intended for regulation of flood flow only and would not be used for water storage, beyond the necessities of flood control, the resolution set forth.
