Plan Monster Welcome For Joseph Martin, G. O. P. Head Political Leader To Visit Los Angeles; Southern California Extends Welcome; All Counties To Join In Greeting Republican leaders throughout the southland today are planning a tumultuous celebration in honor of Joseph W. Martin, Jr., chairman of the Republican National Committee, who will visit Los Angeles on September 24 for the purpose of outlining new policies that will govern future party activities. From San Diego and Imperial counties to San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles, suppressed excitement ran through Republican ranks, following the announcement of Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of Anaheim, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, that Martin has given definite assurance of his intentions to visit Southern California. Martin will be welcomed to the southland with two gigantic rallies in Los Angeles in which Republican leaders of 13 southern counties will participate. The first of these, sponsored by the Los Angeles County Republican Central Committee, will be held in the Biltmore Bowl. Reservations are expected to exceed 1,800, according to William D. Campbell, chairman of the Los Angeles County Committee. The second meeting, a night rally, will be held in the Second Baptist Church under the auspices of the Women's Political Study Club, an organization composed of colored women. More than 2,000 persons are expected to attend this affair, it was stated by Mrs. Betty Hill, founder and executive secretary of the Study Club. Immediately following the latter Anaheim Man Has Close Call From Serious Injury Forced From Auto By Woman Bandit; Avoids Injury In Collision With a background something like modern banditry was the experience of Walter J. Ross, secretary-manager of Anaheim Walnut Growers association, last Tuesday evening while on his way home from Los Angeles. Darkness had fallen and Mr. Ross was proceeding leisurely along in his auto when he noticed a woman on the highway, apparently in some difficulty. Stopping, he asked if he could be of assistance, and where was she going. Advised that she was on her way to San Diego, he offered a ride as far as he was going—to Anaheim. The woman accepted, getting in the back seat of the car. When on Lakewood boulevard, between Telegraph and Manchester, the woman commanded Ross to stop the car and move over on the seat that she would drive.

Funeral services were conducted Tuesday from Backs, Campbell to William D. Campbell, chairman of the Los Angeles County Committee. The second meeting, a night rally, will be held in the Second Baptist Church under the auspices of the Women’s Political Study Club, an organization composed of colored women. More than 2,000 persons are expected to attend this affair, it was stated by Mrs. Betty Hill, founder and executive secretary of the Study Club. Immediately following the latter rally, Martin will depart for San Francisco where he is scheduled to deliver a series of addresses in the Bay district and confer with Republican leaders in the North. In addition to Los Angeles county, the 12 southern counties which will join in tendering the Republican national chairman a rousing welcome are Santa Barbara, Orange, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Mono, San Diego, Kern, Imperial, Inyo, Ventura, Tulare and Riverside. To assist him and Campbell in preparing for Martin’s reception, Senator Kuchel has appointed a general committee composed of Willis Sargent of Los Angeles, secretary of the State Central Committee; Mrs. Edith Van de Water, national committeewoman of Long Beach; Joe Crail of Los Angeles, past state president of the Young Republicans; Mrs. John D.

When within a short distance of that place both noticed a crowd, an ambulance and two wrecked cars, a headon collision. One of the cars belonged to Ross; the other, for the time, was unidentified. Attendants were placing the woman, badly injured and unconscious, in the ambulance. Occupants of the other car, four in number, were also being treated for a trip to the Downey hospital. Members of the highway patrol present were advised of the status of the Ross car, and accordingly a complaint was sworn to against the woman.

House Numbered? If Not, Why Not? Some time ago attention was called to the present system, or lack of system, in house numbering in Anaheim. One needs but to stroll along the streets of the city to have substantiated the slip-shod method by which some residences, and business houses, are identified. In many instances one is at a loss to locate a given house number. There evidently is none or else the number is so obscured by foliage as to be unreadable. Result, a visitor, delivery-man, is in a quandary where to look for the proper address. It requires only a modicum of expense to correct this condition. All alike should see that their house numbers are prominently displayed so as to be readable, night or day.
