Cities Faced With Defense Problems Population Growth in Certain Localities Offers Difficulties Dire problems facing California cities, particularly small cities, wehe defense industries are being established and army cantonments set up, sometimes doubling or trading the populations, were discussed Thursday night by Richard Graves, executive secretary of the California League of Cities, before a dinner meeting of the Orange County League of Municipalities in Santa Ana. He recommended immediate demand upon the federal government for cooperation with the sudden population increases. Profiteering in rentals was named as one of the problems facing cities where there are defense industries or army camps. Secretary Graves spoke on San Luis Obispo and San Diego as "shining examples" of the need for help to the cities. He said 27,000 men were turned into San Luis Obispo, a town of 9000, overnight, creating a seriuos public health, sanitation, police and traffic problem. He pointed out how some property owners demanded outlandish rental figures from army officers seeking homes for their families in San Luis Obispo and elsewhere. "San Diego's population has doubled since defense industry and army and navy activities began there on a large basis," Graves said. The burden upon local authorities has become almost intolerable. The federal government has made no provision to help take Group of Methodist Men To Direct Services Sunday at Wesley Church Wray Andrew, general manager of the Goodwill Industries of Long Beach and the harbor district and a dynamic and inspiring speaker, will be at Wesley Methodist church for the morning worship at 11 a.m. He will be one of a group of business men who will conduct the services both morning and evening, with L. W. Ballard, Long Beach laymen, scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. This group of members of Methodist Men are giving of their time and efforts to bring to others their experiences in living out in every day life the teachers of Christ, according to Rev.G. Carroll Rector, pastor of Wesley Methodist church. They have appeared in more than 100 churches in the past year and are in constant demand all over southern California. County Spends Large Sums for Aged Aid Orange county's expenditure for aid to the aged during December amounted to $118,938.40, it was revealed this week by the state department of social welfare. Average payment to the 3133 recipients of benefits was $37.96. The state department of social welfare also revealed that Orange county's expenditure on the child aid program last month was $11,-634.50. This was paid to 622 needyorphans and half-orphans. He pointed out that Ocean highway, in San Diego, is a bee-hive of activity when workmen change New Women's Craft Class Starts at Y A new craft class, composed of women interested in rag rug weaving, has recently been started at the YMCA craft room.

He pointed out how some property owners demanded outlandish rental figures from army officers seeking homes for their families in San Luis Obispo and elsewhere. "San Diego's population has doubled since defense industry and army and navy activities began there on a large basis," Graves said. The burden upon local authorities has become almost intolerable. The federal government has made no provision to help take care of the families of the men in defense industry or defense training. Cities already have fixed methods of collecting taxes and fixed budgets and cannot cope with the problems facing them where the defense activities are in full swing." He pointed out that Ocean highway, in San Diego, is a bee-hive of activity when workmen change shifts and all of San Diego's police force now is required to keep traffic moving at those times. He commended the state league go into action at once to obtain the necessary help through state legislation and request for federal cooperation.
