Orange County Residents Should Know the Facts “If reapportionment is successful, senators also would be selected on basis of population, thus depriving most rural areas, including Orange county, of fair representation in the Senate. The majority vote in both houses then would be controlled by the big cities, notably Los Angeles, San Francisco, Alameda, Oakland and San Diego,” so stated president William F. Croddy, Associated Farmers of Orange County, on Feb. 5, this year. On point No. 1, “Senators also would be selected on basis of population,” the answer should read, “on modified basis of population” as Los Angeles county would eventually have one Senator for each approximate 400,000 residents, but not more than ten Senators in any one county. The lowest group of counties forming a senatorial district would comprise approximately 110,000 residents. And on Point No. 2, “depriving most rural areas, including Orange county, of fair representation in the Senate,” the answer should be, Orange County's estimated July, 1947, population was 190,000 and in no way has been considered as being in jeopardy of losing its state Senate seat. Orange county's 190,000 population at present can be equalled in the Senate by the Senator from Mono-Inyo County representing approximately 12,000 residents. Orange county grew from 130,760 to 190,-000 from 1940 to July, 1947—in Angeles, San Francisco, Alameda, Oakland and San Diego.” Through lack of general information big cities are confused with the counties in which they are situated. San Francisco is the only city-county combination in the state, and has 8 Assemblymen and might get 3, 4 or 5 state Senators instead of one. Los Angeles city has half the estimated 4,000,000 population of the county. Sixteen of the 32 Assemblymen of that county reside in the city limits of Los Angeles city. The other 16 are outside representing urban, suburban and approximately 800,000 in unincorporated or rural areas. Los Angeles city would get 5 state Senators, with the other 5 coming from the remainder of the county. The so-called big cities, listed by Mr. Croddy, have less than 33 Assemblymen out of the 80 districts, while not more than 13 Senators would actually come from his list of big cities, out of the 40 state Senators. Yet at the same time a more equal representation would be accomplished while giving consideration to the suburban and rural areas. So far in the newspaper clippings on actions of those opposed to Senate reapportionment no reapportionment opponent has suggested a correction for the great disparity in population representation. Not one has offered any alternative for a system that permits approximately 6,000,000 Californians to have only five Senators to represent them while approximately 4,000,000 have thirty-five Senators. Compare the 1940 census (U.S.) figures between Orange county and the five lowest senatorial districts in the state and the representation Orange county has had. Legislators Seek Re-Election All three of Orange legislative representatives seek re-election at the January elections it was announced today. Senator Clyde Watson, ing the unfinished term Controller Thomas Kucheler senator from Orange said today he will file for office on both party tickets.

Orange county's 190,000 population at present can be equalled in the Senate by the Senator from Mono-Inyo County representing approximately 12,000 residents. Orange county grew from 130,760 to 190,000 from 1940 to July, 1947—in other figures adding 59,000 residents while Mono-Inyo in the same period added 1,500.

In Michigan any boy graduates from an accredited school can enter either Michigan State. In Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota is true. In Illinois graduated from an accredited school can enter the state but cannot enter Northern, which is a private school less he has at least a 'B' The same is true in Ohio Ohio State and Purdue, the being a private school and fore having higher entrance requirements. There is also difference, he explained, spring practice time allows the two conferences. Here west we are allowed third spring training but in the there is no limit and most football squads there have had sixty days and more for the fall season and still over three months before schools close for the summer. The four California schools the Coast Conference can accept a student with less 'B' average. This rule limits great extent the available talent. It accounts to a greater for the current difference the "Big 9" teams and the Coast Conference. Coach Vath gave his opinion on nature in this way, that as the GIs are out of the picture the school have their freshmen to draw from this tend to even up between localities. This in face of that the "Big 9" has a much mer territory to draw from. In answer to next year's Conference race he said Coach Waldorf's Bears she ranked first with his own and the Bruins of UCLA.

Legislators Seek Re-Election (Western News Service) All three of Orange county's legislative representatives will seek re-election at the June primary elections it was announced today. Senator Clyde Watson, completing the unfinished term of State Controller Thomas Kuchel, former senator from Orange county, said today he will file for the office on both party tickets. Watson was first elected to the legislature in 1938 when he served in the Assembly. Assemblyman Sam L. Collins, speaker of the lower house, and Assemblyman Earl Stanley also announced they will return to Orange county this week-end to file for re-election. Collins, formerly district attorney of Orange county and at one time a member of Congress, was first elected to the legislature in 1940. Stanley, a Newport Beach realtor, is serving his first term in the Assembly.

"HANK" SAYS Latest word on the proposed new uniform of the Air Forces is that no official decision has been made as yet and that if and when agreement has been reached, notification will be made to all interested parties. The Army and Navy Journal, unofficial weekly catering to members of the Armed Forces, recently published their version of the proposed uniform as follows: "The color, 'Air Force Blue,' much like the British RAF uniforms, has been decided upon and the design itself fairly well settled. It will have a roll collar and be of fingertip length. Chevrons for non-commissioned personnel will be in the form of V's shaped like stylized wings with the apex down (inverted from the present chevrons.) The insignia of rating will be carried between the wings. Replacing the regular ratings, such as sergeant will be new ones like 'Aircraftsman'." Three local youths are among those enlisted this week in the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force. They are Emillo S. Avallos, 18, 10881 Gilbert street, Anaheim; John C. Santellan, Route 5, Anaheim; Peter C. Najera Jr., Stanton, Calif. Avallos and Santellan enlisted for two years in the U.S. Army and are now at Fort Ord, California, where they will receive basic training. Najera chose a three year hitch in the U.S. Air Force and is now training at Lackland other positions on the reverse slope of Hen Hill, meanwhile directing the aim of his fellow soldiers who threw grenades from the slope below him. He left his position where grenades from both sides were passing over his head and bursting on either slope, to attack the main enemy trench as confusion and panic seized the defenders. Straddling the excavation, he pumped rifle fire into the Japs at point blank range, killing many and causing the others to flee down the trench. Pursuing them, he came upon a heavy machine gun which was still creating havoc in the American ranks. With rifle fire and a grenade he wiped out this position. By this time the Japanese were in complete rout and American forces were swarming over the hill. Pvt. Craft continued down the central trench to the mouth of a cave where many of the enemy had taken cover. A satchel charge was brought to him, and he tossed it into the cave. It failed to explode. With great daring, the intrepid fighter retrieved the charge from the cave, relighted the fuse, and threw it back, sealing the Japs in a tomb. In the local action, against tremendously superior forces heavily armed with rifles, machine guns, mortars and grenades, he killed at least twenty-five of the enemy, but his contribution to the campaign on Okinawa was of much more far reaching consequence, for Hen Hill was the key to the entire defense line, which rapidly crumbled after his utterly fearless and heroic attack."

In Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota the same is true. In Illinois a boy graduated from an accredited high school can enter the state university but cannot enter Northwestern, which is a private school, unless he has at least a 'B' average. The same is true in Ohio between Ohio State and Purdue, the latter being a private school and there are having higher entrance requirements. There is also a great difference, he explained, in the spring practice time allowed by the two conferences. Here in the west we are allowed thirty days during training but in the "Big 9" there is no limit and most of the football squads there have already had sixty days and more training for the fall season and there is still over three months before the schools close for the summer recess. The four California schools in the Coast Conference cannot accept a student with less than a "B" average. This rule limits to a great extent the available athletic talent. It accounts to a great degree for the current difference in the "Big 9" teams and those of the Coast Conference. Coach Crauth gave his opinion on the future in this way, that as soon as the GIs are out of the picture and the school have their regular freshmen to draw from things will end to even up between the two realities. This in face of the fact that the "Big 9" has a much larger territory to draw from. In answer to next year's Coast conference race he said that Coach Waldorf's Bears should be ranked first with his own Trojans and the Bruins of UCLA fighting Three local youths are among those enlisted this week in the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force.

The Army Technical School Plan is one of today's great opportunities for the veteran—and non-veteran, too—who wants to choose his education and be paid while learning. Any high school graduate can select two fields of interest, and two courses in each field of interest. If there is an opening in one of the courses, he will be accepted for it before enlisting for three years in the Army. Along with a fine education, he will get good Army pay, good steady work, and do a job that's important to his country. Here is a bit of news that we have been expecting, although we didn't think that it would come so soon. Enlistments in the United States Air Force have been curtailed to the point that only 120 men from the southern California district will be accepted in the air arm. The success of the recruiting program and the opportunities for education, trade schools and advancement that service in the Air Force offers has brought it up very close to its authorized strength. Qualifications for enlistment in the Air Force has been raised and no original enlistments of married men is authorized. It is estimated that the quota set for the southern California district will be met within the first two weeks of March...so all you prospective airmen better come early and get in on that quota. Last week through the Santa Ana office we had the distinct honor and pleasure of enlisting Orange county's own hero, Clarence B. "Whitey" Craft. Whitey's citation awarding him the Congressional Medal of Honor reads somewhat like the pages of an adventure book.

His one man battle on Hen Hill is incredible and here is how a War Department General Order describes it. "For twelve days our forces had been stalled, and repeated heavy assaults by one battalion, then another had been thrown back by the enemy with serious casualties. With five comrades, Pvt. Craft was dispatched in advance to feel out enemy resistance. The group had proceeded only a short distance up the slope when rifle and machine gun fire, coupled with a terrific barrage of grenades, wounded three and pinned down the others. Against odds that appeared suicidal, Private Craft launched a one man attack. He stood up in full view of the enemy and began shooting with deadly markmanship wherever he saw a hostile movement. He steadily advanced up the hill, killing Japanese soldiers with rapid fire, driving others to cover in their strongly disposed trenches, unhesitatingly facing alone the strength that had previously beaten back attacks in battalion strength. He reached the crest of the hill, where he stood silhouetted against the sky while quickly throwing grenades at extreme short range into the enemy positions. His extraordinary assault lifted the pressure from his company for the moment, allowing members of his platoon to comply with his motions to advance and pass him more grenades. With a chain of his comrades supplying him while he stood atop the hill, he furiously hurled a total of two cases of grenades into a main trench and R. E.
