Six Class Valedictorians Speakers at High School Call for Bids On Prado Basin Reclamation County supervisors yesterday authorized an invitation for bids on construction of 1000 feet extension of pipe line into Prado Basin, advancing the program for annual rescue of an estimated eight to 12,000 acre feet of water now going to waste through evaporation or transpiration. Flood control Engineer Jack Bradley said the invitation for bids will be ready in about 10 days. The 1000-foot extension, to be 43 inch concrete pipe, similar to the 700 feet recently completed from Prado dam to a point above Rincon rd., will be plugged at the upper end, until the system of laterals that eventually will spread through the basin is constructed. The cost will be about $103,000, it is expected. Bradley has estimated the entire Basin program will cost about $500,000. Construction of the lateral system, third step in the program, is expected to await outcome of negotiations proceeding between Orange county up-river counties for amicable settlement of questions that arose from the Orange county plan to drain the basin of waste water. Up-river counties fear the drainage might affect the water levels in West Chino basin and other adjacent areas. 'All That Glitters. Is Not Gold!' By Gazette Farm Editor Amid the manifold statements of many high-up in the citrus industry about (1) moving the crop, (2) having larger sizes again, and (3) setting a prorate of 1300 cars this week, we lose sight of the fact that the grower also has costs to meet. After this week there will be no more $44s shipped East and many feel that this is a step in the right direction. Let us just take a look at what the $44s, the 228s and the 252s have done for the grower this week when sold in the fresh fruit market. The average of choice and Sunkist in these three sizes for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was $4.11 a packed box delivered in the auction. If you ask any packing house man about the cost of getting them to the auction buyer he will give you a figure of about $8.10. This, of course, does not include growing. So it all bolls down to the grower receiving $1.01 per packed box which is the equivalent of the magnificent price of 67 cents a field box 2nd Fre 40 Per GLOBAL By T PERU—The military its forces have crushed southern city of Arequipa At least forty person A general call went wounded.

Scientists say it isn't an atomic mist since Geiger counters showed no radioactivity. Just nature on a binge, they speculated. The finger of suspicion was pointed at massive Mauna Loa, still spouting fire and brimstone as it enters its third eruptive week. Mauna Loa, on the island of Hawaii, southeast of here, is putting on its greatest show of modern times. One river of red-hot rock still rolls into the sea; two others have cooled. The mysterious cloud stretches from Wake Island, 2000 miles west of Hawaii, to an area 1900 miles east of Honolulu. Plane reports fixed the eastern boundary about 300 miles east of Hawaii. But officers of the freighter Hawaiian Fisherman said they ran into the haze last Friday 1900 miles east southeast of Honolulu. Officers said the murk prevented any navigational sun or star sightings the last four days at sea. The ship docked Monday on a trip from the Panama Canal zone. Few ships and no planes travel that route. County’s Fresh As Ocean Water Salt water penetrates water supply already hard land from the coast and a year and will contaminate in the next year. That report was made by trust directors yesterday by U.S. Geologic Survey, who exploring salt water intrusion Santa Ana gap in cooperation with the water district and the County flood control district. Within the last several months the Geologic Survey drilled pilot wells along a line passing the coast two miles in. But the only value of these was to discover that the salt front has already passed there. Just where it is, nobody knows but Survey Engineer Garreport that it has been advancing at the rate of 700 feet a year 1944, or 4200 feet in six years. Engineer C.

Settlement of the six-day strike in the nation's capital hinged on the question of whether dairies could shut down on Sundays. In Pittsburgh, an agreement reached with one small firm was the only break in the walkout by the AFL Dairy workers who are seeking a 40-hour work week with 48 hours pay. The nine struck dairies agreed to shorter hours but insisted the milk plants be closed on Sundays. Hopes were expressed for a quick settlement. A delegation of housewives in Pittsburgh demanded an early end of the walkout, which has affected some 2,300,000 persons in Pennsylvania. As union and company officials planned another meeting in Pittsburgh today, an industry spokesman said: "We don't seem to be near agreement at all." 30-Day Cool-Off on Rail Strike Starts WASHINGTON (AP)—Presidential board today recommended a 40-hour week and an 18-cent hourly pay increase for about 75,000 railroad yard service employees. It recommended denial of wage boosts for about 125,000 trainmen and conductors. The emergency board filed its report with President Truman. Such recommendations usually are the basis for settling rail labor disputes. The railroads and two unions involved — the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and Order of Railway Conductors—now have 30 days in which to negotiate under the Railway Labor act before the unions could take strike action. The board recommended that the 40-hour week and 18-cent hourly wage boost for yard service employees, represented by the two unions, become effective next October 1. These workers now have 48 hour work week. The unions had asked for the same pay for a 40-hour week as they had received for the 48-hour week.

County’s Fresh Water Endangered As Ocean Waters Invade Underground Salt water penetration of Orange county’s underground water supply already has extended more than two miles inland from the coast and, advancing at the rate of 700 feet per year and will contaminate Newport Beach city wells within the next year. That report was made to the Orange county water district directors yesterday by the U.S. Geologic Survey, which is exploring salt water intrusion at Santa Ana gap in cooperation with the water district and the Orange County flood control district. Within the last several months, the Geologic Survey drilled four hot wells along a line parallel to the coast two miles inland. At the only value of the wells is to discover that the salt water content has already passed that line. Just where it is, nobody knows. The Survey Engineer Garrett reported that it has been advancing at the rate of 700 feet a year since 1944, or 4200 feet in six years. Engineer C. Roy Browning, of Tustin, member of the water district board, said that an Irvine Co. well at Indianapolis and Bushard aves, about a quarter mile inland from the pilot wells, still is fresh. The well drilling program, which includes several small observation wells, drilled by the flood control district cost $6500, of which the federal government paid half, the water and flood control districts dividing the other half. Another $5000, similarly shared has been authorized to continue the drilling program another year.

The craft plunged into the Gulf at almost the same spot where another Air France plane crashed two days ago with a loss of 46 lives. Officials said 12 persons had been rescued by early afternoon, including four of the crew of eight. Twelve infants were reported to have been aboard the plane. Only one is known to have been saved. This plane and the sister C-54 Skymaster which crashed two days ago were enroute from Indochina to Paris. Officials have not discarded the possibility of sabotage by adherents of the Indochinese communists who are fighting the French. Air France officials in Paris said the plane carried 44 passengers and eight crew members. The officials said the search of the area was continuing with more than 100 small fishing boats scouring the area. American and British Air Force planes based in the Gulf area joined the search, sweeping low over the area, but a low ceiling hampered their efforts. High winds and choppy waters made it unlikely that life rafts from the plane could stay afloat for long. The survivors all were reported to be French citizens. The circumstances of both crashes were similar. Both planes went down as they were preparing to land at Bahrein, 20 miles off Saudi Arabia's east coast. Each sent a last message announcing preparations to land, then was heard from no more. The plane was lying in about 30 feet of water. Searchers believed the bodies of most of the missing still were trapped inside it. Early today a crane barge was moored over the submerged hulk in an effort to lift it from the water intact. Last night's disaster brought to more than 100 the number of persons dead or missing in French air crashes in two days. Of these, 46 died in the first crash off Bahrein Tuesday.
