Center St. Carmen’s Flower Shop Matthews Attacks Federal Control Of Water Projects Findings of Raymond Matthew, chief engineer of the Colorado River board, appear in an article in "California" magazine, revealing that "the door would be opened to unsound irrigation and water supply projects if the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation makes effective its apparent present policy of establishing permanent federal control over water development projects and the future growth of Orange county and other southern California regions would be threatened." This situation is now under serious consideration by members of the Orange County Water district board and agricultural interests who agree that it is vital for the prosperous development of southern California that the state's interest in Colorado river water be maintained.

TIPTON Another recent candidate for the office, says: "A candidate cannot go through a primary campaign without learning a great deal about the various political factions, 'interest' and 'special groups' eager to grasp the control of government. Nor can he go through such a campaign without observing the stature of his opponents. It is on the basis of such information that I have made my decision to support the candidacy of Sheriff Jesse L."

Tipton "RE-ELECT THE MAN WHO ANAHEIM GAZETTE An enormous series of developments which would benefit chiefly Arizona and would materially and detrimentally effect the supply of Colorado water which comes to Orange county through the Metropolitan Water district mains are under current consideration by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation. Western development of irrigation was founded on private enterprise, according to Matthew. The irrigation works were planned, built and paid for by individuals or groups, mutual water companies, private companies and public irrigation and water districts operating under state law. The product of such local enterprise and financing can be seen in California, where more than 5,000,000 acres of land is irrigated. With the advent of federal reclamation in 1902, the principle of payment by the water users of the cost of the projects was incorporated in the act and it was applied both as to necessary finding of feasibility before construction, including probability of repayment and as to actual payment of construction costs under repayment contracts. Prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, a series of recent reports contain recommendations for fundamental changes in federal policy which would dismiss all feasibility standards and repayment policies. The Reclamation Act of 1939, which was a step toward this eventually, was interpreted by the Department of the Interior solicitor by holding that the act did not require payment to the government of interest as such on power capital and that interest earned in power revenues could be applied to pay off capital investment in power and irrigation facilities, passed unnoticed by western water users. The bureau proposed still another change in policy, declaring that the Department of Interior shall retain perpetual management and control of projects after construction, thus abandoning the policy of turning over, after construction, of projects to responsible local agencies for operation. This would, in effect, constitute a Federal Valley Authority under the control of the Secretary of the Interior. Matthew declared that such acts would be a matter of vital concern to southern California, including Orange county. They threaten to permit construction of large projects in the Colorado river basin that would be unsound under previous standards of repayment and would encroach on the water supply required and contracted for by southern California agencies. He went on to say that the limit has been set as far as it can go, maintaining that the future growth and prosperity of southern California is absolutely dependent upon obtaining contracted water supplies from the Colorado. Strong opposition to changes in fundamental reclamation policies, was recommended by Matthews as he pointed out that uneconomical projects would be a burden on taxpayers of the nation, of which Californians are among the heaviest contributors.

His Character, Reputation and Tolerance, together with his knowledge of the job to be done, causes me to endorse his candidacy for re-election. R. I. MORRIS Who was also a candidate and now enlisted under the Elliott banner, has this to say:—"In the recent primary campaign in which I was a candidate for Sheriff, the great unsurmountable hurdle that constantly confronted my every move, was the Honesty, Integrity and Ability of Sheriff Elliott.

THE MAN WHO KNOWS THE JOB This statement made and signed by R. I. Morris under date of June 20, 1946 Sodel Murder Proves Need for Two Man Patrols While the combined law-enforcement agencies of Los Angeles and adjoining counties together with the FBI are conduct-a search for the slayer of Highway Patrolman Steve W. Sodel—who was killed because he was on patrol duty alone—a candidate for the office of sheriff of Orange county is declaring that he, if elected to office, will cut expenses by sending only one man throughout Orange county in each of the sheriff's Patrol cars. Obviously, the Los Angeles officer was killed because he was alone because he did not have an aide who could help handle the criminal or criminals who attacked him. In numbers, of course, there is protection for law-enforcement officers; and that is the reason that Sheriff Jesse L. Elliott for Orange county has always had two men in his cars. There always is one to stand guard as the other officer investigates a suspected crime, one to stand to shoot, if necessary, to save the life of his fellow officer if he should be attacked. To send men out alone is to advertise, in effect, that hoodlums and gangsters have more than a fifty-fifty chance in Orange county. Sheriff Elliott with long years of law enforcement as his background, knows that you always must have two men in a car; even if it means his defeat in the coming election he will not agree in any way to cutting down the number of officers who must patrol the streets and highways. Criminals know that one officer is at an extreme disadvantage in coping with two or more law-breakers, they know that one officer can be knocked off quickly; but they fear two men, one with his protecting country, it has been demonstrated that two officers will usually handle a menacing situation. And, again, time after time, it has been proved—by death—that one officer has no chance against hardened criminals. Orange County's Sheriff, Jesse L. Elliott stands forthright with his determination to maintain two men in his patrol cars. He declares that any other suggestion for one-man cars is proof of the lack of experience in the matters of law-enforcement. Vehicle Bureau Ask Drivers to Beware Wet Days Extra hazardous conditions will require careful driving to prevent accidents due to the approach of California's rainy season, the department of motor vehicles warned Anaheim motorists today. Among the hazards listed by Director Edgar E. Lampton as peculiar to the season are: - Slippery pavements, particularly during first rains, causing a tendency to slip and skid at speeds above normal. - Smoothness of tires and generally faulty condition of automotive equipment due to current shortages. - Shorter hours of daylight driving increasing hazards of early morning and late evening operation. - Increased pedestrian congestion due to holiday shopping. Director Lampton pointed out that department records show traffic accidents always go up in the fall months because of these conditions. He recommended the following safety measures: - Have your brakes, lights, tires and winshield wipers checked. - Reduce your speed at least 10 miles an hour at night and during foggy or rainy weather. - Keep a sharp eye out for pedestrians, particularly school children, at all times. Treasure Island To House 16,000 Stag Legionnaires Joe L. Lumpkin, national convention director of the American Legion, declared today that there is still time to plan attending the first post-war convention of the organization being held in San Francisco September 29-October 4. Housing for some 16,000 "stag" legionnaires has been arranged at Treasure Island, although these are going fast and early action is advised. According to Lumpkin, "civilians" may take part in many of the legion activities during the convention. Tickets to the three main entertainment events may be purchased at the auditorium ticket window during the convention. They are also on sale at leading hotels, drug stores and cigar stores in San Francisco. Complete details on these ticket sales and other news of the legion convention activities are printed in the California Legionnaire edition of September 15. Enlistees Crowd Recruiting Offices With all army recruiting stations in Southern California crowded with men volunteering to beat the October 5 midnight deadline, these stations will remain open until 12 p.m. both the 4th and 5th of the month, it was announced yesterday. The deadline is the final hour upon which volunteers may obtain the guarantee of full educational benefits under the GI Bill of Rights, according to Lt. Edward F. Tufly, army recruiting office, room 109, City Hall, Fullerton. Men enlisting after the critical date, however, will receive educational benefits according to the length of time they serve before the emergency is declared ended.

Reward Offered For Sodel Killer The California Highway Patrol contacted local police yesterday, asking them to exert all their efforts to locate the killer of State Highway Patrolman Steve W. Bodel, 48, who was recently found in a shallow grave just off La Brea avenue on a northern slope of the Baldwin Hills. A reward of $2500.00 will be paid to anyone furnishing information leading to the arrest and conviction of the patrolman. Violators of Vets' Housing Order to Be Weeded Out An intensive drive on violators of the Veterans' Housing Program Order One was launched by the Civilian Production administration this week with the arrival of 26 additional experts, whose main task is the job of weeding out violators of this order. Violators of VHP 1 are persons who have undertaken commercial, industrial and institutional construction since March 26, without first obtaining the CPA's approval. The experts will comb the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial, San Diego, Ilyo, Kern, Mono, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura in search of violators. Unauthorized projects are reputed to be siphoning off large quantities of critical building materials required for the veterans' housing program, according to reports received by CPA, and numerous veterans' organizations have charged that violators of the order are large patrons of black market operators in materials. According to a CPA spokesman, the drive is aimed at discouraging non-essential construction in defiance of the order devised so...
