General Dewitt Says Civilian Defense Needed (Continued from page 1) be a criticism of the efficiency of Civilian Defense, but rather to place emphasis in the importance of continued effort on the part of everyone connected with Civilian Defense." Emphasizing the warning given by Gen. DeWitt was the statement made during the past week by Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant III, chief of the protection branch of OCD. Gen. Grant said: "Now more ever before, men and women of Civilian Defense must be on the alert for attack, particularly in California. Remember Pearl Harbor did not expect an attack, and Southern California is still the No. 1 area so far as the Japanese are concerned." On this city's capable Civilian Defense committee with Chairman Mann are Charles E. Griffith, secretray; Rudolph Nyboe of the auxiliary firemen; M. W. Martenet Jr., auxiliary police; Glen Peck, air raid warning service; J. B. Collings, emergency transportation; Ray Van Wagoner, public utilities; F. A. Yungbluth, streets, public buildings, etc. Talented Young Anaheim Dancers Chosen To Complete Ballet Cast For “Chocolate Soldier” Opera Company When the Chocolate Soldier Opera company had its opening performance Sunday night in San Francisco, no one found the event more exciting than two talented young Anaheim girls, the Misses D. Frazee and Margaret Duncan, who make their debut as members of an operatic troupe. The two girls, both Union high school students, were selected by Paul Houston, producer, and Lou Price director of the Opera company, to complete the group of five dancers providing the new ballet addition to the company. Both gifted young people had their entire dance training at the Richards Martin School of Dancing, 719 North Los Angeles street, and their selection was source of deep pride on the part of Mrs. Lenoir R. Martin. She attended the final dress rehearsal of the company held last Thursday in Los Angeles Biltmore theater, and was delighted with the finished work of her pupils. Their work in the popular light opera will be under direction of Nico Charisse, dance director, and will comprise Russian, toe and eccentric dancing. Miss Margaret is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Duncan, 1016 East Broadway. Miss Dolly is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin H. Frazee, 211 Norfolk Olive street. Mrs. Frazee accounted for the two young girls to San Francisco where she will remain as their chaperon during the five weeks' engagement. Other engagements are in prospect for the Opera company, with film possibilities in the near future. Critics attending the dress hearsal, expressed the opinion that the two attractive Anaheim girls have all the essentials to look, grace and ability, for careers if they wish to enter professional life. However both plans to complete high school before giving consideration to their professional future. Critic of Hero Given Dismissal Officials of Lockheed-Vega Aircraft corporation have announced the discharge of Dave Levitt, a craft unionist who aroused national condemnation when publicly referred to Capt. Ed Rickenbacker as "Rat No. 1 World War II." The official statement said "The company was fearful that Levitt's continued presence in the plant would create disturbances that would disrupt production." The dismissal came in spite of Levitt's apology in which claimed that his statement made in the heat of argument, regret that I used the word "dismissal."
