OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Preliminary Census reports reveal a startling exodus from Oklahoma farms in the past decade which may cost the state a population loss exceeding a quarter million people and at least one—and maybe two—seats in Congress. Only two Congressional districts have completed preliminary counts. But enough counties from all parts of the state have reported to warn state officials of what's coming. With few exceptions each new census figure repeats an old refrain—population losses in farm areas, towns gaining population but an overall loss. Chambers of Commerce and state newspapers are exhorting every true Oklahomaan to be counted. Gov. Roy J. Turner took to the radio to support this campaign. Why can't Oklahoma keep 'em on the farm? Federal agriculture officials, surprised by the first reports, made an independent survey. U. S. Agriculture department statistician K. D. Blood said fewer people are owning more and more farms in the state. He said severe soil erosion in many cases and poor country roads made it more economical for small farmers to sell out and move to other states or get good-paying jobs in the cities. Craig Bottger Wins First Place in Chamber of Commerce Essay Contest Craig Bottger, AUHS student, is the winner of the Anheim Chamber of Commerce Essay Contest, it was announced today. Bottger is one of six high school seniors who won prizes for their essays on what they expect of Anaheim—a place to live and work and raise families. The contest climaxes the Chamber's public education campaign which began last April as an attempt to tell Anaheimers about their Chamber of Commerce and its functions. The program, conducted by the Chamber's Public Relations Division, Clyde Cromer, chairman, and directed by John J. Stranahan, public relations expert, consisted of advertisements, features and news stories appearing in the three local papers. Presentation of the awards to the student essayists will take place tomorrow noon at the meeting of the Kiwanis Club. Bottger will receive a $50 bond for his first-place work. Second prize, a $25 bond goes to Jewel Walker; third, a $10 bond, to Dub Helsing. Fourth, fifth and sixth prizes, $5 bonds, go to Jim Webb, Lloyd Dick and Rose Cruz. Presentation will be made by Adolf Schoepe. Schoepe will be introduced by Chamber president Warren Ashleigh. The essays submitted by Craig Bottger and Jewel Walker are published in their entirety on page six of today's Gazette. The remaining four will be published in tomorrow's paper. Total timber resources in the public domain in the U. S. are estimated at between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000 in value. Senate Refuses Shelve Rent Control Bill WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate refused today to shelve the Rent Control bill. Vote was 44 to 25. The vote was regarded as a general test of Senate sentiment to ward the question of continuing federal rent controls, now due June 30. Some who voted against putting the bill aside had announced that would vote against the bill on the question of final passage. The attempt to shelve the bill was made by Senator Wherry Nebraska, Republican floor leader. At the end of a turbulent 17-hour Senate session Saturday he moved to send the bill back to the Banking committee. Such action often means killing a measure. Vote on the motion was put off until today. For administration leaders, the big question now is when can they get a vote on final passage? Senator Cain (R-Wash) conducted a 12-hour filibuster against the measure last week. Before the vote, Cain told reporters that the outcome of his future plan ANAHEIM GAZETTE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY; JUNE 12, 1950 Local Girl Kill Get Stalled Au Permits Issued For 27 New Homes Construction of $189,000 worth of new homes, 27 dwellings and garages, has been given the green light from Building Inspector Rudolph Nyboe's office.

Rotary Speaker Sees War Threat John K. Morley, former foreign correspondent who was connected with counterspy and saboteur work during the war, told the Rotary club this noon about a recent tour he made abroad. The speaker disagreed with President Truman's recent declaration that the United States is closer to peace than at any time since the war. Mr. Morley said the nation is, in fact, closer to war than at any time since World War II. He condemned those who "play politics with the security of the United States." Mr. Morley said the international scene is now divided into "two worlds." "One world is planning, sacrificing, praying" and spending billions in a program of peace. The other "world" is through sabotage and deceit, spending billions for war and conducting the greatest conspiracy the world has ever seen against the United States. As a preface to his talk, Mr. Morley paid tribute to the high standards of Rotary International around the world. Rotarians in foreign countries, he said, are "good will ambassadors" who rival State Department representatives in spreading good will for the United States. The speaker was introduced by Lee C. Deming. ALMOST A JOKE Mrs. Helen A. Kays, 605 N. Ross st., Santa Ana, nurses' aldea at Santa Ana Community hospital, was walking along the sidewalk in the 800 block on S.

Rayburn did not say Mr. Truman had urged that. He merely mentioned it in talking with reporters. However, Mr. Truman recommended revision of business taxes in his tax message to Congress earlier this year. Rayburn spoke of a boost from 38 to 40 per cent in the corporation income tax. The House speaker and other Democratic Congressional leaders spent an hour and 15 minutes discussing the legislative program with Mr. Truman at their regular Monday morning conference. They said they did not talk about the question of when congress should adjourn. That looks too far off. Leaders have about abandoned hope of adjournment by August 1.

They gave newsmen these reports on matters other than taxes: Rent Control—Lucas said he expects the Senate to pass bill this week extending the controls. Rayburn said that the Senate does act this week, the House will pass it next week. Draft—Lucas said he wants to get Senate action as early as possible on a House-passed measure continuing the draft in a "stand-by" basis. He predicted the Senate will reject proposal, backed by Southern Senators, permitting drafted men who ask for it, to serve in race-segregated units. Excise cuts approved by the House Ways and Means committee would cost the government over $1,000,000,000 a year in revenue. The administration wants increases in other taxes to make up much of the loss. Musical Offerings Distinguish High School Baccalaureate Services Sunday Baccalaureate service held last night at the high school for this year's graduating class was distinguished by the musical offerings of the orchestra, choir and two soloists. The orchestra was under the direction of Mr. William Cook; the A Capella Choir was led by Miss Gania Demaree; and the two soloists were Miss Carol Hochuli, violinist and Miss Carol Bostick, organist. Teen-Age Costa Mesa Postal Thieves Caught The sheriff's office today was restoring a group of 14 Costa Mesa teenage youths involved in series of thefts from post office boxes at Costa Mesa in the last few days. Two of the boys, age 15 and 17, are said to have opened the box James G. Moore, Costa Mesa, and stolen an income tax refund check for $110.10 which was cash at the Costa Mesa bank. The money was then divided among the boys. A $49.50 check taken from a box of the Pacific Laminates last November, was never used, and has been recovered, the sheriff said. The Rev. Allee F. Nichols, pastor of the First Methodist church of Santa Ana was the principal speaker. Rev. Nichols told the graduates not to conform to the world but to divert their life to a new purpose — that of service to mankind. The Santa Ana pastor declared it was their obligation to rid the world of greed, disease, oppression and all of those things that handicap mankind. You are members of the "New Aristocracy," he declared. Aristocrats, not because of blood lines, power or capacity to think but because of a willingness to serve, he concluded. Shining throughout the entire evening was the performance of the orchestra under the direction of William Cook. He demonstrated again his ability to group the skills... Injured Youth In Crash—Not Yet Recovered Injured when his motor scooter overturned Saturday afternoon, John F. Allbright, 17, 509 N.

He was found unconscious and pinned under the machine. Investigating officer Hoxie reported that the scooter rolled 54 rider. He also indicated the belief that the scooter kickstand dropped down, thus causing the vehicle to overturn. One witness told Hoxie that he had seen the scooter going down the street with the front wheel wobbling quite noticeably just prior to the accident.
