Committee Named to Study Streets Report to be Made at Next Session of Legislature by Special Group California's present and future street and highway development is to be made the subject of special study by four statewide organizations. It was stated by them recently in a joint announcement. Studies will be conducted through a newly formed California street and highway survey committee composed of the following representatives: W. O. Russell, county supervisors Association of California; Frank McKee, California State Chamber of Commerce; E. E. East, Automobile Club of Southern California; and C. C. Cottrell, California State Automobile association. The committee at its organization meeting invited and obtained the acceptance of state Senator Arthur H. Breed, Jr., of Alameda county to act as chairman. Recommendations based upon results of the study will be presented to the next regular session of the legislature in 1941, the announcement stated. In a statement outlining the objectives of the committee Senator Breed pointed out that the four organizations have long been active in the study and support of progressive legislation and policies for the financing and development of state highways, county roads, and city streets. "The aim of these organizations in forming the committee," Senator Breed said, "is to pool their studies and findings of fact for the good of the state. There is no Rainiers Set New Attendance Mark SEATTLE, Wash. (NNS)—Owners and business managers of many a big league baseball club eye with envy the management of the Seattle Rainers, Pacific Coast League champions for the second year in a row. Some of the major teams would settle for Seattle's attendance record for the year just concluded. A total of 517,000 fans watched the champions; a new high for the Pacific Coast League, and possibly for all minor league baseball. Last year, with Freddy Hutchinson an outstanding magnet at the gate, the Rainers pulled 437,161 customers through the gates. Hutchinson was peddled to Detroit for a huge sum and, then, without their biggest attraction, Seattle drew 80,000 more fans this year. There must be a reason. One reason may be that the team never had a disastrous slump during the long Coast League season. Not until the very wind-up when Sportopix by RUSS McCOMB For the second time in about five years, Fullerton residents will officially welcome a "local boy who made good" back from the baseball campaign when they stage a civic banquet next Wednesday evening in honor of popular Willard Hershberger, reserve catcher for the Cincinnati Reds. While plans are not yet complete, Fullerton Junior Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of the "homecoming dinner," hope to stage the event in the spacious cafeteria at the high school. Tickets are on sale now in Fullerton for $1 a plate and a large crowd is expected. About five years ago Floyd "Arký" Vaughan, Pittsburgh shortstop, was accorded a similar honor after capturing the National League batting championship for the year. Hershberger will draw the plaudits of his many friends in Fullerton because he was an important cog as the Red team battled its way to the National close battle. Fullerton's early season record is slightly more impressive than is the Colonists' past performances haven't much in previous games between Fullerton and Anaheim and probably won't mean much tomorrow. Both clubs feature open, trio offensives, and it is entirely possible that each team will score or more touchdowns. Game time is 3 o'clock. Neither Santa Ana or Fullerton Jaysees will be playing at here this week. Santa Ana plays on mona tonight at Pomona and travels to Berkeley for a game with the California Frosch Saturday. The Hornets take a crunch the Pasadena Bulldogs in the Fresno Bowl tomorrow night and hope get back in the win column. Of the 519,000 stockholders in the steel industry, 40 per cent women. Last year, with Freddy Hutchinson an outstanding magnet at the gate, the Rainers pulled 437,161 customers through the gates. Hutchinson was peddled to Detroit for a huge sum and, then, without their biggest attraction, Seattle drew 80,000 more fans this year. There must be a reason. One reason may be that the team never had a disastrous slump during the long Coast League season. Not until the very wind-up, when it had first place clinched, did the team lose more than three in a row. When the San Francisco Seals took them for five straight and the series by six out of eight, it marked the snapping of the unusual streak. It also marked the first series lost by more than the odd game throughout the entire campaign. In race track parlance the Rainiers were off slowly, reserved behind the pace set by Los Angeles until mid-June, took the lead when called upon, and won in hand. Townsend Speaker To Address Forum Anaheim Townsend club members who wish to attend the Fullerton public forum this evening may do so following a short business meeting of the club to start at 7 o'clock. Cars will be available at the clubrooms for those needing transportation. Mrs. Ida Freeman, president, said. Eric Rusk of Long Beach will be the speaker at the forum meeting. He will discuss the Townsend plan. Taxes paid last year by the railroads of this country would have been sufficient to pay a year's wages for an added payroll of 183,000 railroad employees. About five years ago Floyd "Arky" Vaughan, Pittsburgh shortstop, was accorded a similar honor after capturing the National League batting championship for the year. Hershberger will draw the plaudits of his many friends in Fullerton because he was an important cog as the Red team battled its way to the National loop title, only to lose in the World's Series to New York. "Hershy" came up to Cincinnati from Newark at the start of the season as relief catcher behind Ernie Lombardi and, although he didn't catch as many games as did Lombardi, he worked in a good many contests and amassed a batting average of .345 for the season. Hershberger got into three games in the World's Series, relieving Lombardi twice behind the bat and going into the last game as a pinch hitter. Batting only twice, Willard slapped out one hit, that coming in his appearance as a pinch hitter. Chief of Police Jim Bouldin of Anaheim is cooperating in obtaining a speaker for the program, and the junior chamber is attempting to obtain Jay Carrillo as master of ceremonies. Sherly Miller on the banquet, Hershberger said his mother will leave for the present home at Three Rivers, "Hershy" informed Junior Chamber Specials. It's hard to leave football out of a sports column at this time of year, so attention is called to the Anaheim-Fullerton high school gridiron battle tomorrow afternoon at Fullerton.

J. Smith. There is a total registration of 73,802 for the special election on November 7, Smith announced, as compared to last year's total of 74,907. Slight gains of 220 and 238 were shown by the second and fifth supervisorial districts, respectively, but the first, third and fourth districts ran behind last year's mark. The first district, which consists of the city of Santa Ana, has 19,849, a decrease of 607 from last November's 20,458.

The second district includes such beach towns as Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach and Seal Beach, together with the interior towns of Garden Grove, Westminster and Los Alamitos. Its registration increased from 9881 last year to 10,-111 at present, a gain of 220. The fifth district, with such rapidly growing communities as Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, and also including Tustin, San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente, gained 238, its present total being 13,105, as compar- State Chamber's President Lauds Nation's Press "The free press of America the guardian of our liberty," the statement issued Monday A.

Trading in American League will Probably Center Around Detroit By BILL RUDY N. N. S. Sports Writer CHICAGO (NNS)—The American League ought to have a busier season in the trade marts than the National,—but it probably won't. Managers in the senior league have, over the years, been more willing to do business with one another than those of the junior or "world series" league. The Yankees need new material just as much as this typewriter needs another "Q" key. But Joe McCarthy will be on hand at the winter meetings ready to trade some spare parts and benchwarmers for a winning pitcher,—and he will probably succeed. The record books reveal no team that has had too many winning pitchers, and Marse Joe ranks as a real collector of same. Last year, for example, he gathered together spare parts and when he had a bale, shipped them to St. Louis for Oral Hildebrand. Major swapping activity in the American League may center about the Detroit Tigers, out of the first division for the first time in six years. That club has both Hank Greenberg and Rudy York and is certain to get rid of one, possibly both if a good enough deal can be made. York has proved a failure as a catcher. If there is any spot where his slugging can be used at a minimum of funny fielding, it is at first base. Washington needs a first baseman and in return might be talked out of Cecil Travis. Washington and Detroit are very likely to do business this winter. The Senators have Buddy Meyer to swap, as well. It is about as easy to get one as the other but at least Manager Cronin can try to make a deal for pitchers. At other positions the Red Sox are pretty well set. Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox is not likely to let his team's surprisingly good play lull him into any false feeling of security for 1940. Dykes knows better than anyone just what weaknesses there are on his team and he knows that several of his pitchers have just concluded better years than can reasonably be expected during the next campaign. The fact that the Sox need replacements in several spots, and yet managed to do so well, is one of the greatest tributes that can be paid Dykes. He will be ready to snap up big or little bargains this winter and many of his colleagues will again be shy of doing any business with baseball's "old clothes" man. Cleveland seldom is very good or very bad and Oscar Vitt can either be content with third or fourth place as usual or may talk the front office into really taking a chance on coming up with something good in a trade. Philadelphia and St. Louis will be most eager of all to trade, naturally, but for the same reason will find it equally difficult to do so. There are not many Brownie or Philadelphia athletes who have a very high market value. Drunk Driving Case to Be Heard Friday C. A.
