Center, Anaheim Phone 3212 Retiring General Thanks Anaheim Continued from Page 1 ability before being placed on the inactive list. "Thanks," says General. In a letter to the Gazette, General Easterbrook thanks this newspaper and the people of Anaheim "for the intelligent, interested and worthwhile part it played in helping us carry forward our mission." When, this base converted to a redistribution station and convalescent hospital, we were faced with the gigantic task of speeding the adjustment of our returning airmen to civilian life," he writes. "Our installations attempted to provide these men with skills, outlook and habits to facilitate their absorption into the non-military community. "To a considerable degree, our success depended upon your understanding cooperation, which you offered in generous measure. "As I relinquish my command, we wish to reiterate our gratitude on behalf of the thousands with whom you have worked, and to whom you have extended your courtesy. It was a considerable contribution toward the future strength of our nation." General Easterbrook's case St. Louis Browns Have Record Roster Continued from Page 1 ed a few days ago, while visiting "Ol' Diz" on the latter's farm down in Texas, that he plans a comeback in the majors next year. The 32-year-old Paul, who recently was released after 15 months of Army service, is under contract to the Browns. Other pitchers and infielders already are out of the armed services also, and Manager Luke Sewel is loaded with 1946 talent. Last spring's problem, which he had to solve with only four regulars, now has resolved into one of stringing out the few jobs to best advantage. Things Look Better Already back from doing their bit in defense of the country are Lucadello, Newlin, Galehouse, and Johnny Bernardino, among others, and more are slated to follow soon. Things are reported a lot rosier around the Brownies' executive suite out at Grand and Dodier street, site of Sportsman's park, owned by the Browns but home grounds also of the Cardinals.

"As I relinquish my command, we wish to reiterate our gratitude on behalf of the thousands with whom you have worked, and to whom you have extended your courtesy. It was a considerable contribution toward the future strength of our nation." General Easterbrook's case comes under a ruling that officers, once retired, who returned to active service, will be retired first, in reduction of the services. An air ace in World War I, with seven kills on his record, General Easterbrook came out of retirement in 1940 to active duty, with rank of major. His son is a pilot, stationed in Tokyo. "Speed," First Order Easterbrook assumed command of SAAAB in April, 1944, while it still was training cadets. In November of the same year, the base was converted into a redistribution center and convalescent hospital. When separation was added to its other functions, General Easterbrook's orders were, "Get 'em out quick." Working seven days a week, the base cut through a backlog of 12,000 overseas veterans in record time. More than 18,00 men and women have received their discharges there since September 14. The general doesn't consider himself infallible. When prisoners of war drew KP, General Easterbrook admitted that a mistake had been made and rectified the error. At the GI's "gripe session," he listened to complaints and criticisms. The men fired questions and, the General answered straight-forwardly, winning the nickname, the "GI's General." In August, General Easterbrook invited UCLA to sponsor a conference at Santa Ana on needs of the returning serviceman. Four hundred delegates—representing education, business, labor, social agencies and religious groups—participated. Many Decorations General Easterbrook, who has made no plans as to what role he will play in civilian life, was among the first American military pilots to see wartime duty in 1917. He served with the RAF and the first U. S. Aero squadrons, winning the Distinguished Service Cross with an oak leaf cluster. The DSC was presented to Easterbrook by General Pershing.

Thanksgiving Past; Air of Christmas (Continued from Page 1) Grocers will refill shelves bared by one of the heaviest buying rushes in several years. School children will continue to enjoy their long week-end, which extends until Monday. Holiday's Origin Behind us will be another observance of that first Thanksgiving, which history records was held by the Pilgrims, in gratitude for deliverance from starvation and massacre. In all, pre-Revolutionary colonies held nine such observances. On eight other occasions, the Continental Congress decreed public Thanksgiving for victories by Washington's ragged troops when slim hope for American independence hung by a slender thread. Now, Anaheim turns to preparation for observance of an older event, which caused a star to shine down on a manger in a faraway land. New SAAAB Head A Pioneer Cadet Continued from Page 1 a regular army commission as first lieutenant in 1920. In 1934, he was sent as a captain to the Command and General Staff school, graduating with temporary rank of major, which became permanent following two years as instructor at the school. He went overseas as a colonel in August, 1942, and helped in training preparatory to the African invasion. He moved in with the invading force as head of the planning division of the 12th Air Force, and worked with it all through the sweep to the east. After a year, he was recalled to Washington as instructor in the Army and Navy Staff college. In November, 1943, he visited every theater of operations in a round-the-world tour while on Outlining provisions fits that will come to California through the Hinds said: Energy Sold "Under the new contract Metropolitan Water district's energy from Power plant was sold to the management of Water and Power City of Los Angeles, California Edison Company and the California Electric Company for the period June 1, 1945 to May 1945 when the Boulder energy terminates. "Increase in income approximately $32,000; the sale of unused energy higher than the rate of daily energy at Boulder nearly $11,000,000 for water agencies of generation at Boulder power; which the district is only pay but which would largely unused except proposed contracts; than $4,000,000 for total energy for the Edison company by utilizing capital district's aqueduct system, extending from Dam to the Hayfield plant; 126 miles west orado river. Reason for Surplus "The large block Boulder power is made for sale by reason of that the Metropolitan District, in 1930, found it to contract with the firm for permanent right to ensure power to meet the requirements of Colorado aqueduct pumping plant." The 1945 collaterals gives assured use of capacities of the distributors at Boulder and the district of a heavy burden. "Under the district-litract the Edison company be able to transmit a load of Boulder energy 1777; the district's pumping lines."

City’s Schools Get State Tax Funds (Continued from Page 1) average daily attendance. Last year’s figure was $50,676,686, or $67.49 for each of 750,825 pupils. The 1943 legislature increased state support of elementary schools about $6 to approximately $66 per pupil, the analysis states. The following year, the people raised the figure to about $80. This year’s distribution plan calls for a larger share of the added state support for districts with a low assessed valuation than for those with larger valuation per pupil, the association said. WATER HOSE MISSING A water hose disappeared from the Shipkey and Pearson service station. Police found the hose broken off and believes it became entangled with an automobile that had stopped at the station and was dragged away unintentionally.

In November, 1943, he visited every theater of operations in a round-the-world tour while on duty with the War Department general staff. He has held the rank of brigadier general since May 25, 1944, and wears the Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, European Theater ribbon with one battle star, Victory Medals for both wars, and American theater and American service ribbons. His ratings include command pilot, aerial observer and combat observer and his preference runs to B-25’s. His wife and two minor sons are now en route here from Washington. Another son, Lt. John R.

Areas comprising the Metropolitan district are Los Angeles, Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Compton, Fullerton, Glendale, Long Beach, Pasadena, San Marino, Santa Ana, Santa Monica, Torrance, and the coastal municipal water district. Execution of the contracts assure industrial and domestic consumers of Southern California a large block of Boulder power at economical rates, it was pointed out by Metropolitan officials. Hinds said he expects to execute the contracts immediately. Others representing the District in the negotiations leading to the formation of the contracts were Director Perry H. Greer, chairman of a special power committee, Chief Electrical Engineer James M. Gaylord and General Counsel James H. Howard. Outlining provisions and benefits that will come to Southern California through the contracts, Hinds said: Energy Sold "Under the new contracts, the Metropolitan Water district's unused firm energy at Boulder Dam and the equivalent of all of the district's energy from Parker power plant was sold to the Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles, Southern California Edison Company, Ltd." Early Start of G-E Buildings Here Indicated That the General Electric Company plans early beginning of construction of two plants on the 12-acre site it owns here is indicated by a letter received by the chamber of commerce this week from N.

'Mike' Mattis Here, Smiling, Decorated Continued from Page 1 to receive such recognition for heroic services. The ribbons were pinned on the men by Brig. Gen. Edward B. Colladay, deputy island commander of the Western Pacific Base command. The decoration was for the vital part they played in "delivering the goods in the best traditions of the Transportation Corps" during seizure of the Japanese-held islands of Saipan and Tinian in the Marianas from June 15 to August 1, 1944. The time occupied by the ceremony was the first Colonel Mattis' men had taken off since their arrival in the area. All trained stevedores, they had worked 12-hour shifts for "Colonel Mike," seven days a week, moving the never-ending cargo which was life blood to the Outlining provisions and benefits that will come to Southern California through the contracts, Hinds said: Energy Sold "Under the new contracts, the Metropolitan Water district's unused firm energy at Boulder Dam and the equivalent of all of the district's energy from Parker power plant was sold to the Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles, Southern California Edison Company, Ltd., and the California Electric Power Company for the period from June 1, 1945 to May 31, 1987, when the Boulder energy contract terminates. "Increase in income includes approximately $32,000,000 from the sale of unused energy at rates higher than the rate for secondary energy at Boulder Dam; nearly $11,000,000 for use by other agencies of generating capacity at Boulder power plant, for which the district is obligated to pay but which would remain largely unused except for the proposed contracts, and more than $4,000,000 for transmission of energy for the Edison company by utilizing capacity in the district's aqueduct transmission system, extending from Boulder Dam to the Hayfield pumping plant, 126 miles west of the Colorado river. Reason for Surplus "The large block of unused Boulder power is made available for sale by reason of the fact that the Metropolitan Water district, in 1930, found it necessary to contract with the federal government for the purchase of 36 per cent of the firm energy from the dam, in order to obtain a permanent right to enough of this power to meet the ultimate requirements of Colorado river aqueduct pumping plants. "The 1945 collateral contract gives assured use of the unused capacities of the district's generators at Boulder and it relieves the district of a heavy financial burden. "Under the district-Edison contract the Edison company will be able to transmit a large block of Boulder energy 177 miles over the district's pumping plant power lines."

Negotiations preliminary to drafting the contracts have been under way almost two years, and the contracts were approved two months ago by the board of directors of the water district, the Edison company, the City of Los Angeles and the California Electric Power company. Approval of the contracts by Secretary Ickes assures their execution, probably this week, by participating agencies. Elks Plan to Fete National Official Plans for entertaining Wade H.
