VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH NEW SCHOOL TAKES SHAPE—The buildings of the $206,000 Thomas Jefferson school, being consigned to take form as workmen enter the third month of construction. Originally scheduled for occupancy until after the first of the year according to Building Superintendent Carl Larson, general contractor. Give McLain Jail Order LOS ANGELES (AP)—George H. McLain was ordered jailed today until he produces books and records subpenaed by the state senate committee on social welfare. The pension promoter was taken into courtroom custody but his attorney, Robert W. Kenny, immediately went to the district court of appeal for a writ of habeas corpus to free McLain pending appeal. Superior Judge W. Turney Fox ordered McLain jailed for contempt of court and also fined McLain's Citizens Committee for old age pensions $250. Previously the court had ordered McLain to produce the documents. McLain has refused, on the ground that the senate committee did not have proper authority to subpena the books. Kenny also contends the records are not material to the committee's investigations. When the committee counsel, Jack J. Miller, asserted that "I think this is an open and shut case of a man defying law and order," Kenny told the court that McLain is proceeding in an orderly fashion to test legality of the committee subpena.

Government Wins Tidelands Oil Case WASHINGTON (UP)—The Supreme Court today gave the federal government top rights over the oil-rich tidelands off the coasts of Texas and Louisiana. Justice Douglas delivered the 7-0 decision. The government sued for the multimillion dollar gulf coast oil prize after winning a similar suit in 1947 for "full dominion and power" over California tidelands. Douglas said the decision in the California case controls the government's case against Louisiana. Few Weekend Accidents as Sun Bring Out the Motorists; Bus-Auto Collide The sun came out Sunday for the first time in a week: And, with it came a bumber crop of motorists, picknickers, joy riders, fishermen, etc., in Orange county. Beach traffic was particularly dense. Only one injury, however, was reported in Anaheim. Emily Jeanne Nagode, 24, 221½ E. Broadway, was hurt when a delivery truck in which she was riding, driven by Henry S. Nagode, 35, collided with a car operated by Robert H. Menefee, 18, 1101 N. Palm street, yesterday evening. The accident occurred at the corner of Claudina and Cypress streets. In Orange county, the number of traffic accidents was held to a low point, while over the nation, a total late this morning showed 255 deaths from accidents as compared with 272 at the same time a week ago. California led the way with 11 traffic deaths, four drownings and three miscellaneous deaths. Bus-Auto Crash The most spectacular accident in Orange county occurred early this morning when a bus-auto-mobile smashup took place on the crest of a hill near the Galivan overpass on Highway 101, between Tustin and San Juan Capistrano. The crash occurred, investigating officers said, when Theodore J. Stearns San Diego sailor, start-(Continued on Page 2) 'Arming Europe Only Road.

Police at Kona, a village on the big island of Hawaii, said all residents of the endangered area had been evacuated. The new flow began about nightfall and raced at breakneck speed toward the sea. The lava's path transcends the southwest slope where the second and third flows of last week tumbled into the Pacific. Police said it endangers Ohia lodge and four or five houses clustered around the lodge, and the village of Opihali, which consists of about 30 houses. Residents of the village were evacuated Thursday and Friday. The lava was expected to reach the sea in a short time. On the other side of the volcano Foreman Ernest Morton of the Kahuku ranch said the flow there seemed to be dying out. Cowboys were stationed to watch it all night.

Three to four feet of water swirled around over most of this resort city as a result of a 14.21 inch downpour. The last of the water drained of by late Saturday afternoon and cleanup work was finished yesterday. At least $500,000 damage was suffered. Charles H. Oehler, street commissioner, said an estimated $100,000 of this was to streets. Merchants estimated their losses at $400,000. Local Police Annoy Hold-Up Pafullerton Found Less Frustrating A pair of hold-up men started out to make expenses in Anaheim last March 4, but had to go to Fullerton before they realized anything for their evening's efforts. The reason: the Anaheim police were too much with them. The two men, Harold McBee, 30, Oxnard, and Alfred D. Lopera, 29, Santa Barbara are now being held in Fullerton on a charge of armed robbery, Lt. Tom Taylor of the Anaheim Police said today. Taylor was called in on the questioning when the men were returned to Fullerton last Friday. McBee told him about Anahehostility to hold-up men.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—A strenuous election campaign with high political stakes hammered to a close in California today. A light turnout was anticipated in the direct primary tomorrow despite the intensive street-corner stumping during the past month. Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan looked for a 52 per cent vote—or around 2,500,000. A total of 4,925,000 registered. Of these 2,862,063 are Democrats, 1,826,350 Republicans. But it will be an important day for Republican Governor Earl Warren. Hearty at 59, he is the first chief executive of California to seek a third term. And he's bidding for both Republican and Democratic nominations. For his Democratic opponent, James Roosevelt, the election will gauge prospects of fashioning a political career of his own in the state he adopted 11 years ago. Foremost, it will test the lure of the Roosevelt name. The 43 year old eldest son of the late FDR has never run for office before. California's direct primary law allows candidates to enter other than their own party races. In the face of the heavy Democratic registration, Warren captured both nominations in the 1946 primary. His victory boomed presidential talk. Both he and Roosevelt cross-filed this year. Douglas Confident In another key contest, Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas, Los Angeles Democrat, predicted a sweeping victory for herself in her campaign for the U.S. Senate. "I am absolutely certain," her statement read, "that the Democrats of California will choose me as their standard bearer in the senatorial race and that they will elect me over my Republican opponent, Richard Nixon, next November." Headquarters of her Democratic foe, Manchester Boddy, Los Angeles newspaper publisher, pooh-poohed the prediction. Boddy is Senator Sheridan Downey's choice as his successor. Downey, a Democrat, withdrew because of ill health. Rep. Nixon of Whittier was rated a faint chance to benefit enough from the Democratic tussle to walk off with both nominations. All three candidates cross-filed. The voters also will pick party nominees for 10 state offices besides governor; 23 congressmen Test Run for Brannan Plan By The Associated Press An Iowa Democratic primary today may help the Truman Administration decide whether to boost or soft-pedal the Brannan Farm Plan as an issue in the November elections. In three other primaries tomorrow, California Democrats will say whether they want James Roosevelt as their nominee for governor, South Dakota Republicans will pass on the bid of Senator Chan Gurney for renomination and New Mexico Democrats will choose from among five candidates for governor. There also will be a Republican State Convention in Arkansas tomorrow. In Iowa, six men are running for the Democratic senatorial nomination in a battle that may have a direct bearing on the Brannan Plan's future as a political issue. Senator Bourke B. Hickenlooper, who has figured in atomic energy and communist-in-government security investigations, is seeking Republican renomination against two opponents. Albert J. Loveland, former under secretary of agriculture, is the standard bearer in the Democratic primary for the Brannan Farm Plan. This is the controversial proposal by Secretary of Agriculture Brannan to give farmers government "production payments" on perishable crops permitted to find their own market level without price supports. President Truman plugged for the plan in his recent western whistle-stop tour. (Continued on Page 2) President Signs $3,121,450,000 Foreign Aid Bill By The Associated Press President Truman today signed a bill authorizing the United States to spend $3,121,450,000 on this year's foreign aid. The total includes funds for the third year of the European Recovery Program and for starting the president's point four program to develop backward areas. Signing the bill at a White House ceremony, the president said it is an important step toward strengthening freedom and defeating "communist imperialism." The bill authorizes five programs in all. The largest involves this year's expenditure of $2,850,-000,000 for the Marshall Plan. The government spent $641,-826,000 more in May than it took in, putting it $3,230,012,000 in the red for the first 11 months of this fiscal year.
