World News Paragraphs DAILY HIGHLIGHTS OF EUROPEAN CRISIS FRIDAY—A mutual aid treaty between Great Britain and Poland was signed, Britain promising to fight any attempt to destroy the independence of Poland; German newspapers scathingly attacked President Roosevelt's peace plea to Adolph Hitler while the German chancellor hastened plans for the solution of the quarrel with Poland. SATURDAY—Poland informs President Roosevelt of its willingness not to commit any hostile act if Germany will also agree; President Roosevelt sends second "peace plea" to Hitler; a special session of the British cabinet was called to hear Hitler's peace plan; development of a compromise between Germany and Poland was reported "authoritatively" which would "definitely avert war." MONDAY—Sir Neville Henderson, British ambassador to Berlin, confers with Adolph Hitler, presumably regarding Britain's reply to Reich demand for Danzig and Polish Corridor; Benito Mussolini may be asked to mediate dispute following reports Hitler would approve of his selection; Hitler informed Daladier that other "adjustments" at Poland's expense may be demanded; second letter to Hitler prepared by Daladier. TUESDAY—Its contents uninclosed to the public, Adolph Hitler today gave to Ambassador Henderson of Great Britain German's reply to Britain's "final answer;" Prime Minister Chamberlain told LXIX Council Will Set City’s Tax Rate on September 5 New Truck and Other Pieces of Equipment Purchased Tuesday Evening The city tax rate for Anaheim will be established by the council during an adjourned meeting on Tuesday. While no official statement has been made, it is believed by those close to the city administration that little change, if any, will be made from last year's rate. Basis for the assumption that the tax rate will remain virtually the same as during the past fiscal year is the dual facts that the assessed valuations in the city are only slightly higher than last year and budget requirements are also nearly the same as during 1938-1939. Saving Affected The council affected a saving to taxpayers of slightly more than $1000 during the next eight months when members of the board voted favorably on a resolution to eliminate the auditor's salary between August 2 and the date next spring when the newly-elected city treasurer assumes office. Miss Beatrice E. Miller, city auditor for the past several years County’s Tax Law 1940 Same Orange county board of suradopted tax rates for fiscal yecents within the cities and 94 c rates are identical with those o based upon the new budget whi Thursday by the supervisors, In adopting the new budget, supervisors slashed. $145,000 from the proposed tax levy through budget curtailments and revised estimates of revenues. Requests for funds under the budget aggregate $3,322,937, of which $1,569,540 will be covered by estimated revenues other than taxes, making a total tax levy of $1,753,397. Of this total, unsecured personal property taxes and delinquent tax payments in the amount of $245,-534 have already been collected. Additional Special Levies Special district levies, exclusive of the regular tax rate, include a two-cent road tax outside of cities, the 10-cent flood district rate, the Orange County Water district, harbor district and other special districts. Before adopting the budget, the supervisors made last-minute adjustments which enabled them to avoid a raise in the tax rate. Included in these revisions were the Polish Corridor; Benito Mussolini may be asked to mediate dispute following reports Hitler would approve of his selection; Hitler informed Daladier that other "adjustments" at Poland's expense may be demanded; second letter to Hitler prepared by Daladier. TUESDAY—Its contents uninclosed to the public, Adolph Hitler today gave to Ambassador Henderson of Great Britain German's reply to Britain's "final answer;" Prime Minister Chamberlain told house of commons that question of war or peace was now up to Hitler, an unofficial report said Hitler now demands return of Upper Silesia, as well as Danzig and the Polish Corridor.

NEUTRALITY LAW ENVOKED IF WAR BREAKS OUT WASHINGTON—A government official announced Monday that President Roosevelt will evoke the neutrality law at once if war breaks out, summoning congress to consider its revision at the same time. The law prohibits sale of arms and ammunitions to belligerents. Mr. Roosevelt desires a change to permit "cash and carry" sales. NEW JAPANESE CABINET FORMED TOKYO—Emperor Hirohito Monday request General Nobuyuki Abe, retired army leader, to form a new cabinet to replace that of Premier Baron Kiichiro Hiranuma which resigned as the result of the German-Soviet nonaggression pact. DIRECT PRODUCTION PROJECTS AUTHORIZED SACRAMENTO—Governor Culbert L. Olson Monday announced he will immediately authorize the state relief administration to carry out the program recommended by the governor's commission in re-employment calling for the establishment of combined cooperative budget requirements is also nearly the same as during 1938-1939. Saving Affected The council affected a saving to taxpayers of slightly more than $1000 during the next eight months when members of the board voted favorably on a resolution to eliminate the auditor's salary between August 2 and the date next spring when the newly-elected city treasurer assumes office. Miss Beatrice E. Miller, city auditor for the past several years, was recently appointed to fill the unexpired term of former City Treasurer Charles Boege and at the same time continue her duties as auditor. Purchase of four pieces of mechanical equipment for use by the city was completed during the meeting. The council accepted the quotation of M. Eltiste & Co. of Anaheim on an International truck for use by the trash department of the city. Immediate delivery is expected to be made. Equipment Bought Other purchases included an air compressor, a Ford truck and a Chevrolet truck which were bought from the joint outfall sewer district. The city had previously owned a one-third interest in the equipment, the remaining two-thirds being owned jointly by the cities of Fullerton and Orange. Both trucks and the air compressor were used by the sewed district in repairing section two of the sewer line. Permission was granted to the Colonia Independencia for use of the amphitheater in the city park celebration September 15 and 16. Permission was also granted for use of a street for a street dance. Applications of two insurance agents for permission to solicit city employees regarding group insurance policies were denied by the council. Ordinance Re-Read The fire-works control ordinance originally submitted some weeks ago was re-introduced for first reading Tuesday. Only two important changes were made, one requiring that applications for permits to stage a fire-works display must be made not later than 10 days before the event, and the other adding July 5 as a date when fireworks may be legally discharged in the city. A request from the Anaheim Merchants association that street lights in the business district be turned on earlier was referred to the city electrician. Additional Special Levies Special district levies, exclusive of the regular tax rate, include a two-cent road tax outside of cities, the 10-cent flood district rate, the Orange County Water district, harbor district and other special districts. Before adopting the budget, the supervisors made last-minute adjustments which enabled them to avoid a raise in the tax rate. Included in these revisions were the reduction of $8000 planned for class rooms at the county juvenile home, a cut of $19,500 in the unbudgeted reserve fund and the lopping off of $86,000 by assuming that there would be no tax delinquencies. Eliminate Delinquency The expected delinquency of $86,000, when it comes, will be partly covered, it is said, by collections of delinquent last year's taxes which amounted to $46,500 this year, and partly by hoped-for surplus in various department budgets. A new estimate of $56,500 on automobile "in lieu" taxes for the year was made upon advise of the state controller's office. The previous estimated had been $31,500. The budget, as adopted, made no provision for a public defender's office, nor for the requested $5000 appropriation for the campaign to obtain the federal aviation research laboratory for Orange. Mexican Baptists to Convene Here Approximately 500 members of the California Mexican Baptist Young People's association will gather in Anaheim next Monday for their annual convention. A full day of worship and addresses has been planned under the direction of M. A. Castillo of Anaheim, president of the Orange county Mexican Baptist Young People's association. Bethel Baptist church will be the scene of the daytime meetings, with the Greek theater in Anaheim city park to be utilized during the evening.

Negligence Found Cause of Mishap Equal negligence on the part of Willard C. Craig, 34, and William M. Johnson, 22, drivers of two automobiles which collided a week ago Saturday night near Cypress and caused the death of Craig, was found by a coroner's jury to be the cause of the accident. The inquest was conducted Saturday morning at the Hilgenfeld funeral home. Neither Johnson nor Mrs. J. E. Durston, 38, were able to attend the inquest because of injuries suffered in the accident. They are confined to the Anaheim Sanitarium and depositions were taken there of their testimony and read by the coroner's jury. Orange County Will Not Get Laboratory Orange county virtually gave up all hope of obtaining the federal government's $10,000,000 aviation experiment laboratory this week when Congressman Harry R. Sheppard informed the board of supervisors that Sunnvale site undoubtedly would be selected. Fruit Juice Plan Offered Schools That fresh orange juice may be served at a nominal cost in all Orange county schools having cafeteries loomed as a possibility this week. The project is now being developed by C. J. Marks, executive secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau. Tentative plans call for the purchase by students of books of tickets, which would enable the pupil to buy orange juice daily for a month at a total cost of 50 cents. It is understood the plan worked successfully in East Whittier school last year. The school sold an eight ounce glass of juice for three cents all during the school term. Members of the committee will contact the various school authorities and packing houses in Orange county to secure cooperation in the school campaign.

Charging a great waste of public moneys and an increasing burden upon the people of the state, Senator Phillips recommended a greater effort toward paring down governmental cost and political domination. Assemblyman Kuchel was especially critical of the radical type of legislation introduced and praised the efforts of such groups as the Farm Bureau for their steady influence on public matters.

The present law, Thompson said, permits a minimum price only for milk and its products. Fruit and vegetable industries are permitted only to control their products through proration, either by the method of limiting volume or limiting grades and sizes. The purpose of the meeting was to determine, if possible, what the citrus industry could do under the AAA, what benefits it would derive and what penalties it would pay by operating under the federal act. Under AAA Since 1933 It was pointed out by the speaker that the industry is at present under the Triple A through the proration law which has been in effect since the fall of 1933. Thompson also declared that the Growers Advisory committee is now studying the adviseability of placing citrus in this state under a grade and size prorate as well as County Boosters Mark Milestone Tuesday Evening Candlelighting Ceremony is Feature of Celebration of 50th Anniversary Orange county residents are pround of the half-century of the county's history just closed, and determined to make it a still greater county in the next 50 years.

Under AAA Since 1933 It was pointed out by the speaker that the industry is at present under the Triple A through the proration law which has been in effect since the fall of 1933. Thompson also declared that the Growers Advisory committee is now studying the adviseability of placing citrus in this state under a grade and size prorate as well as a volume prorate. Asked by a member of the audience if a minimum price law would be beneficial is adopted. Thompson declared it to be his opinion that such a plan would not succeed unless all citrus producing areas operated under the same law. He informed the group that California growers, alone, could not succeed in establishing a minimum price law that would be effective in all other areas. Each producing area must approve the law for that certain region. Thompson said, in answering a question, that Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace does not have authority to establish any control measure. He can, however, set machinery in motion pointing toward the approval or rejection by growers and shippers of any measure which comes within the scope of the present law. Can Invalidate Prorate Asked how the present prorate could be invalidated, Thompson said that such action would require 50 percent vote by shippers and growers. He also agreed with a statement from the floor that should three or four members of the eight-man committee now establishing prorates fail to attend the meeting, the prorate for that week would automatically be cancelled. The speaker pointed out that Texas last year attempted to operate under a minimum price law for grapefruit and that it was a complete failure and the law was later held unconstitutional. He added that the minimum price law for milk had proven reasonably successful in several of the eastern milk areas. William T. Wallop, member of the board of directors of the Anaheim Merchants association and himself a citrus producer, presided over the meeting after it had been called to order by John W. Price, Merchants association president. Citrus Marketing Highlight of the evening was the candlelighting ceremony, presided over by Terry Stephenson, county treasurer.
