Chairman Celler (D-NY) heads the list of those condemning the bill. It now awaits decision by the House Rules Committee on when it is to go to the House itself for debate. Terming the measure a "calling card for war," the minority report added: "Every mile of our littoral (coastal) three-mile zone and continental shelf would be sown with seed of international 'incidents.'" "It took ages of negotiation after the first three-mile cannon sliot to gain the acceptance of the three-mile control zone as a part of international law by all civilized nations. It is the law of the world." Firebug San Ben Fighters Hope Around 540-Ac SAN BERNARDINO day hinted that a firebush already burned over 540 Bernardino National Forest.

Gazette Photos by Funseh States 82nd Birthday Today Morris Martenet, Sr., veteran Anaheim hardware store operator celebrated his 82nd birthday today by reporting to work at his store at 323 W. Center street. Terming the measure a "calling card for war," the minority report added: "Every mile of our littoral (coastal) three-mile zone and continental shelf would be sown with seed of international 'incidents.'" "It took ages of negotiation after the first three-mile cannon shot to gain the acceptance of the three-mile control zone as a part of international law by all civilized nations. It is the law of the world. It can be changed only following the same tedious way by which it was originally adopted, or by war." The bill would give the states clear title to the lands seaward from shore for a distance of three miles. The states also would have police powers over waters out to the edge of the continental shelf. The shelf extends out roughly 90 to 125 miles in the Gulf of Mexico where some oil wells now are producing. The bill contains a provision that federal leasing on lands from the three - mile limit seaward should be effective as of Jan. 1, 1949. The Supreme Court ruled in a California tidelands case that leases on all off shore properties were under federal control as of June 23, 1947. The states were not mentioned by name, but Texas and Louisiana have issued leases for off-shore drilling. Both states are defendants in a suit filed by the government and now pending in the Supreme Court. The government in the litigation seeks control of the submerged lands off those states. The Minority Report concludes: Make Last-Ditch Fight Against PE Rail Cut LOS ANGELES (AP)—The city Council today made a last-ditch effort to block the Pacific Electric Railway's abandonment program. It told the city attorney to petition the State Public Utilities Commission to reconsider its permit, under which the PE can stop service to sections of Santa Ana, Pasadena, Santa Monica, The San Fernando Valley and other areas. Attorney Marshall Stimson charged at the council meeting that the PE had deliberately reduced its passenger service so it could plead for abandonment of rail service and substitution of bus service. Two cabins of the Onion Pomona YMCA camp were stroyed but there were no lings in the immediate pass the fire. Although the blaze pointed toward the Barton resort area, the crews belly they had succeeded in contain its spread. They also blocked possible spread through the ged canyon of the south for the Santa Ana River. Two hundred men, with mized equipment, were fighting flames which started yestnoon on the north slope of Bernardino mountain. Cloudiness and mist aided crews. CIO-General Motors Sign 5-Year Pact DETROIT (AP)—General M corporation and the CIO U Auto Workers announced negotiations have reached agreement on a new contract for union's 260,000 GM workers. The new contract will run an unprecedented five years. It provides $100 monthly sions, including federal social curity benefits. Pensions will crease if Congress hikes government benefits to those over 60. GM Vice-President Ha Anderson said the agreement "historical in labor manage relations." Walter Reuther, U CIO president, called it "the significant and constructive taken in any mass production dustry since the founding of CIO." A 4-cents-an-hour wage incurs for each of the five year guaranteed. The new contract surprises calls for continuation of a cost living formula, which the U CIO had said it would see scrap. A modified union shop is coded for new employees will have join the union, but GM work currently non-union may re their independent status. It will run to 1955. Start Search For Missing Morris Martenet, Sr., veteran Anaheim hardware store operator celebrated his 82nd birthday today by reporting to work at his store at 323 W. Center street. Mr. Martenet was born in San Francisco May 23, 1868, and came to Anaheim in 1910. He has been in the hardware business up and down the Pacific Coast since 1885. The first Martenet Hardware store was located in the 100 block of S. Los Angeles street, near the present site of the Anaheim Bowling alleys. Later they moved to the 100 block of W. Center and transferred operations at their present location in 1930. Assisting in the operation of the store is Morris, Jr., who was born in Fresno in 1895. Mr. Martenet has one daughter, Margaret, born in Seattle, Wash., and now living in Wilmington. Brightening up the office this morning was a floral bouquet presented by two employees. A quiet family gathering was held Sunday, honoring Mr. Martenet. He is a past-master of the Anaheim Masonic Blue Lodge. When Morris, Jr., was asked his dad's function in the store, he replied, "Pop's still the ramrod of this outfit." BASEBALL BROOKLYN (AP)—Andy Pafko and Roy Smalley cracked home runs today to back up Johnny Schmitz' 4-hit pitching as the Chicago Cubs shaded the Brooklyn Dodgers, 5-4, before 7,969. It told the city attorney to petition the State Public Utilities Commission to reconsider its permit under which the PE can stop service to sections of Santa Ana, Pasadena, Santa Monica, The San Fernando Valley and other areas. Attorney Marshall Stimson charged at the council meeting that the PE had deliberately reduced its passenger service so it could plead for abandonment of rail service and substitution of bus service. "Meanwhile," said Stimson, "The company wants to keep up its very profitable freight services. What should not be forgotten is that the PE franchises, granted by the city, provide for both passenger and freight service in this area. One can not be abandoned unless the other also is surrendered. "It is an outrage that today it takes twice as long for a person to travel over the PE lines as it did 40 years ago. Why, 40 years ago you could get on a PE in Long Beach and arrive at Sixth and Main in 30 minutes. Today it takes at least an hour. While the community has been advancing, its miserable transportation system certainly has not progressed with the community." Anaheim Soloist's Sing with Chancel Choir Sunday Eve Two Anaheim singers were featured as soloists with the Chancel Choir in the Group's Spring Concert held Sunday night in the First Christian Church of Fullerton.

The Switchmen's Union of North America has threatened a walkout of 6000 members in vital yard service on the lines operating west of Chicago. The union is demanding a 40 hour week with the same pay now received for a 48 hour week. It also wants time-and-a-half pay for Saturday work and double time for Sunday. work. Similar demands were won last September by 1,000,000 members of 17 non-operating rail unions, who besides getting 48-hour pay for 40 hours work, also obtained a seven cent hourly rate hike on top of that. Chairman Francis A. O'Neill, Jr., of the National Mediation board called representatives of western railroads and the switchmen's union together at 10 a.m. (EST). WASHINGTON (AP)—Secretary of State Acheson will report to Congress and the nation next week on the cold war strategy talks he has held with Western European leaders. Acheson is now on his way back from London where he met with the British and French foreign ministers and then with the foreign ministers of all the Atlantic Pact nations. The state department said today Acheson will confer with President Truman on Monday and then appear before Congress on Wednesday, May 31. Press Officer Lincoln White said Acheson will first make a public report to Congress members and then talk to them in a closed session, with the public barred. White outlined plans for the public report after Senate Democratic Leader Lucas had announced the secretary would speak to Congress members and answer questions at a private session May 31 at the Library of Congress. Lucas made the announcement after congressional leaders met with Mr. Truman at the White House. Chairman Connally (D-Tex.) of the senate foreign relations committee said he doesn't think anything Acheson says at the closed session will be secret long. Senator Saltonstall (R-Mass) said in the senate he understood there had been certain agreements in London concerning economic help to Europe after 1952—the scheduled end of the Marshall Plan program. “Will he discuss those agreements?” Saltonstall asked. Lucas said he was certain Acheson would answer “in a forthright way” any inquiries put to him. Acheson is returning from England by ship. He is due in New York on Saturday.

Cost Study Reveals Citrus Income Dropped from $512 to $89 Per Acre The 24th annual cost analysis of producing oranges in Orange county just been completed and is ready for distribution to interested growers. This announcement comes from Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg of the Agricultural Extension Service. The farm advisor has conducted an economic study for almost a quarter of a century. Sixty-threeencia orange growers have co-ordinated with the farm advisor these years and have furnished detailed figures of costs of various orchard operations required in producing the orange crop. The study reveals that net income has declined severely in the last four years, due to frost injury and small fruit sizes—from $512.03 per acre in 1945 to $89.89 per acre in 1949. Records for the 1949 season which have just been completed show that the total cost of growing oranges averaged $380 per acre. This total is broken down as follows: cultivation, $24.95 per acre; fertilization, $35.27; frost protection, $71.49 per acre; pest control, $33.83; irrigation labor and water, $31.42; taxes, $40.25, and pruning, $12.53. Interest on investment, $7166; depreciation except for trees, $7.69. The average production in 1949 reported by the 63 growers was 345 field boxes or 241 packed boxes per acre. The yields per acre ranged from 896 field boxes to 138 field boxes per acre. Water use averaged 19.4 acre inches per acre, but the range was from 45 acre inches per acre to 11.5 acre inches per acre. Copies of the new bulletin are available from the Farm Advisor's office, 1104 W. 8th street, Santa Ana.
