Klansmen Appear Saturday Evening Fiery Cross Burns at Main North Entrance to Santa Ana Appearing on the streets in uniform for the first time in many years, members of the Ku Klux Klan Saturday night burned a 15-foot cross on the railway right of way at the intersection of Santa Ana boulevard and El Portal street, main north entrance to Santa Ana. While the cross was burning uniformed Klansmen appeared on downtown streets and started to pass handbills calling on the congress to take immediate action on revelations of the Dies committee and stamp out communism in the United States. Police called to the blazing cross found similar handbills on the ground near the Klan symbol. A police detachment also halted the distribution of handbills. On questioning, Klansmen said that a supreme court decision had nullified the Santa Ana anti-handbill ordinance. Twenty of the Klansmen accompanied police to headquarters and remained there until a conference with City Attorney Lew Blodgett had confirmed their contention. There was no disorder. Eyman Huff Named On Fair Committees D. Eyman Huff of Orange has been named chairman of one committee and a member of three others for the annual California Sportopix by RUSS McCOMB Fullerton, Santa Ana and Riverside will provide the two teams for the annual eastern junior college conference basketball playoff, it was apparent today, although surprising upsets in the last two games might change the picture. The Hornets, as the result of their 41 to 35 decision over Riverside last Friday night, now top the loop with four wins and one loss, with Santa Ana and the Tigers tied in second place with three wins and one defeat. Both the Dons and the Bengals should move up this week by scoring victories over Citrus and San Bernardino, respectively, while Fullerton draws a bye and meets the UCLA frosh Saturday night. Santa Ana virtually eliminated Pomona last Thursday by trouncing the Red Raiders, 52 to 35. Actual contenders in the playoff will be determined next week when Fullerton meets Pomona and Riverside and Santa Ana get together. That is unless the Raiders should upset the Hornets, and Chaffey continues to win. In that case, the loser of the Riverside-Santa Ana game, Fullerton and Chaffey will all tie for second place. Pre-game dope, however, points to a series between Fullerton and the Riverside-Santa Ana winner, and the contest between the Dons and Tigers can go either way. The Hornets tripped Riverside last Friday by virtue of a long lead they piled up in the first half, accounted for in the main by the scintillating basket shooting of Forward Glen Walden. Ringing the bell from almost every angle, Walden caged 17 points in the Director of SRA Grilled on Story Possible Political Motives Behind Releases Bring Assembly Hearing Lawrence Platt, Orange county SRA director, and Paul Vissman, project supervisor, were questioned for three hours in Sacramento last Saturday afternoon regarding possible political motives behind their action in curtailing garden projects here, and their press announcements that relief would shut down unless the legislature appropriated funds for SRA. Orange county's two assemblymen, Thomas H. Kuchel of Anaheim and Clyde A. Watson of Orange, demanded the inquiry after reading newspaper statements that relief was at a standstill for lack of funds, whereas the two assemblymen contended there was sufficient money in Orange county. Both participated in the questioning of Platt and Vissman, reports from Sacramento said. During the hearing Platt said he acted entirely on his own authority in closing down three county garden projects except for skeleton crews, and stopping certifications of new clients. He said he read newspaper accounts of the legislative deadlock in Sacramento and was informed by his Los Angeles superiors there was no more money against which to write checks. Platt said he did not want men to work in the gardens without assurance they would receive a 15 per cent differential for lunches and gasoline, so ordered them home. Eyman Huff Named On Fair Committees D. Eyman Huff of Orange has been named chairman of one committee and a member of three others for the annual California state fair, it was announced this week by Stewart Meigs, president of the State Agricultural society, governing body of the fair. Huff heads the committee on dairy products. Other committees on which he will serve are machinery and manufactures, poultry and special events. LEGAL NOTICE IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ORANGE HOME OWNERS' LOAN CORPORATION, a corporation. Plaintiff, vs. C. W. CROMER and MILDRED CROMER, husband and wife, RELIANCE TITLE COMPANY, a California corporation, as Trustee, ALICE JULIA HAMILTON, WILBUR EDWARD HIGHTOWER, CHARNEL CHAPMAN HIGH-TOWER, JR., EUGENE HEROSE HIGHTOWER, Defendants. NO. 37833 NOTICE OF COMMISSIONER'S SALE Under and by virtue of an Order and Decree of Foreclosure and Writ for the Enforcement of Judgment Requiring Sale of Property issued out of the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange, on the 13th day of Feb., 1940, in the above entitled action, wherein the above named plaintiff obtained a judgment and decree of foreclosure on the 9th day of Feb., 1940, which judgment and decree was, on the 10th day of Feb., 1940, entered and recorded in Judgment Book No. 38 of said Court at page 323 et seq., (to which Judgment and Decree reference is hereby made), I am commanded to sell at public auction in the manner prescribed by law, all that certain real property situate, lying and pre-game dope, however, points to a series between Fullerton and the Riverside-Santa Ana winner, and the contest between the Dons and Tigers can go either way. The Hornets tripped Riverside last Friday by virtue of a long lead they piled up in the first half, accounted for in the main by the scintillating basket shooting of Forward Glen Walden. Ringing the bell from almost every angle, Walden caged 17 points in the first period and that was all Fullerton needed to leave the court on the long end of a 30 to 18 score. He scored four more points in the second half from a total of 21. A tired gang of Hornets had plenty of trouble holding off Riverside in the second half, however. With Sef Murrillo, the Tigers' all-conference guard, taking over the job of covering Walden, and the rest of the team playing excellent defensive ball, the Bengals limited Fullerton to 11 points in the second period. Offensively, Riverside was no more effective than in the first half and the 17 points rung up succeeded only in slashing Fullerton's ultimate margin of victory. Tom Fuller, Riverside's ace center, was limited to 2 points during the game, but he still led the Tigers in scoring. Santa Ana had virtually no trouble in trouncing Pomona last Thursday, although the Raiders made it close during most of the first half. With seven minutes to go in the period, Coach John Ward sent Hal Lilley in at forward for Capt. Russ Deardon, and Lilley laced in 11 points before the end of the period to send the Dons out in front by 27 to 15. Farm Bureau Choir To Offer Program The Orange County Farm Bureau chorus will present a radio concert over Station KVOE tomorrow evening from 8:30 to 9 o'clock. A group of selections featuring such numbers as "Finlandia" and other well known choral numbers will be given. Especially featured will be a composition by Mrs. B. H. Sharpless of Santa Ana, titled "Aloha Lei Lani," with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Tucker, Fullerton, carrying the solo parts. Mrs. Sharpless is the mother of the director of the chorus, Monroe Sharpless. Miss Mildred Gage, Fullerton, is accompanist of the chorus. Platt said he did not want men to work in the gardens without assurance they would receive a 15 per cent differential for lunches and gasoline, so ordered them home. "I didn't know they would vote enough money the way they were making a joke out of relief," Platt remarked at one point. Kuchel conducted most of the questioning. He learned that Platt had been SRA director for 11 months. Platt denied any projects had closed down or work orders had been cancelled, stating that only the garden project workers were told to go home until the legislature appropriated money. Kuchel read a story from a Los Angeles paper on Feb. 7, to the effect 13,000 persons faced a bleak future because the SRA had halted all activities (in Orange county) for lack of funds, quoting Platt. Platt denied making any such statement and said he was misquoted, although it was true 13,000 persons would be affected if the legislature had failed to vote an appropriation. Platt said the Santa Ana Register had asked for a story and he told Vissman, who handled most of the press relations, to prepare it. Vissman later in the hearing said he wrote the story appearing in county papers, but denied contacting the Los Angeles paper or press services, all of which carried similar stories. Kuchel then produced a yellow mimeographed circular, urging opposition to returning relief to the counties and attacking Kuchel and Watson for asserted cooperation with "special interests." Platt said he had seen it for the first time on Friday but did not know how it was distributed or who wrote it. He said it was not prepared in the SRA office. Watson produced a petition against returning relief to the counties, which Platt said he thought was circulated by old age pensioners. Platt said they were not seen around his office. Platt denied that anyone within or outside the SRA had told him to put out information in Kuchel's or Watson's district that the legislature was making a joke of relief. He said Vissman had never given out anything erroneous. the above entitled action, wherein the above named plaintiff obtained a judgment and decree of foreclosure on the 9th day of Feb., 1940, which judgment and decree was, on the 10th day of Feb., 1940, entered and recorded in Judgment Book No. 38 of said Court at page 323 et seq., (to which Judgment and Decree reference is hereby made), I am commanded to sell at public auction in the manner prescribed by law, all that certain real property situate, lying and being in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, and described as follows, to-wit: Lot Twenty-two (22) in Block ("A" of Tract No. 237, "Owens and Jones Tract," as per map thereof recorded in Book 13, at page 24, of Miscellaneous Maps, records of said Orange County, together with the tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances thereunto belonging, or in anywise appertaining. Public Notice is hereby given that on the 9th day of March, 1940, at 10:00 o'clock A.M. of said day, at the South Door of the Court House of said County of Orange, in the City of Santa Ana, Orange County, California, in obedience to said Order of Sale and Decree of Foreclosure and Writ for the Enforcement of Judgment, I will sell the above described property or so much thereof as may be necessary to satisfy said Judgment with interest and costs and expenses of sale, at public auction to the highest and best bidder for Cash, in lawful money of the United States.

The question of jurisdiction arose late last week when Superior Judge George Freeman, Riverside county, refused to dismiss the condemnation suits which the Orange county flood district had filed there before being notified that the federal government would take over, and had filed its own condemnation suit in federal district court in Los Angeles. Judge Freeman made his decision after attorneys for the defendant property owners resisted the motion to dismiss the cases on the ground that the flood district had already posted bond and taken possession of the property, had cut the ground up, and built dam upon some of it, and could not restore the property to the owners. The first of the condemnation suits, set for hearing in Riverside county superior court, thus mains scheduled for trial March 5. At that time another case, that against the Excelsior Creamery company, and Mr. and Mrs. Prudence S. Yorba, will set for trial.

Mary said her award will go toward furthering her education, while the Anoranco will use its share of the money for equipment to improve the paper.

How to gain most from higher prices How to gain most from higher prices In recent years the supply of oranges and grapefruit has exceeded the demand at satisfactory prices. Thus prices have been low. Now the supply has been heavily reduced. Prices will go up. With this situation, Exchange growers stand to gain the most. Growers who sold their crops early will see others pocket the profit. Exchange grower returns will be in line with the advancing market. But this is only one of the points in the Exchange grower's favor. The Exchange has direct representation in all the markets to act exclusively in the grower's interests. It is prepared to take full advantage of the many exceptional sales opportunities which will occur. Exchange members have the further advantage of selling under the "Sunkist" brand. Their fruit will bring higher than average prices. Because of large volume, Exchange marketing costs are the lowest. Even including advertising retains (more than repaid in price premiums) they compare favorably with any. All this assures more returns for Exchange fruit, and more of that return for the grower. Take advantage of all these benefits. Investigate at once what Exchange membership will mean to you in added income. Call at the address below—or at any district exchange or Sunkist packing house.
