At that Truman Roundup President Has ‘Plans’ to Meet High Living Cost WASHINGTON (A)—President Truman said today he is concerned about the high cost of living and he is working on plans to meet it.

Whistle Dirge Stirs Tiny Bayou Town PARADIS, La. (AP)—This little bayou community bustled with excitement today watching for a phantom whistler whose weird serenades have terrorized an 18-year-old bride-to-be. Hearty all of the village's 200 population peered out of windows last night while a cordon of heritry's deputies guarded the home of Jacquelyn Cadow. For the past few days the townspeople have talked of little except the intruder who threatened the girl's life and vowed to prevent her marriage to a young state trooper. Opinion is divided over whether the nocturnal whistler is a prankster, a would-be killer or a lunatic. His whistle is a siren interruption of a funeral dirge. State police, who were drawn into the investigation by state trooper Herbert Belsom of New Orleans, Jacquelyn's husband-to-be, said they were stepping out of the case. "We are convinced it is the work of a prankster," trooper Vincent B. Ebeler said. State Police Sgt. N. J. Khoury said the Cadow nome yesterday took on the appearance of a mecca. Hundreds of curiosity seekers in automobiles paused for a look at the scene of the whistler's visits—a cottage surrounded by moss-draped oaks. A doctor attended the young bride-to-be who collapsed Tuesday night after she and her mother, her mother's sister and a New Orleans reporter all said they were disclosed today with the transfer of guardianship from Los Angeles county to Orange county Superior Court by the father, Norton Simon. Robert Simon, his son, now 12 years old, is today worth close to three-quarters of a million dollars, according to the estate records. The guardianship was granted to his father in Los Angeles county Superior Court in 1939 when the boy was a year old. At that time the estate was appraised at $22,690. An accounting on May 14, 1943, showed the value had risen to $166,520. In October, 1943 the total was estimated at $207,-524.23. The $713,052.11 valuation was shown in an accounting last June 7. Norton Simon has now moved to Fullerton, which was the reason for transferring the guardianship to Orange county. Records of the estate show the Simon family owned virtually all of the stock of the Valvita Food Products Co., Fullerton, when that corporation was acquaired by the Hunt Brothers Packing Co. Farmers Elect Market Men The annual election of farmer-committeemen who will administer the programs of the Production and Marketing Administration for the coming year are to be held in the near future, according to an announcement today by R. E. Beem, chairman of the Orange county central committee. There are 12 districts in Orange county, Beem stated, and each of these elects its own committee. The present committee has, in each case, appointed a nominating committee of farmers not members of present committees. It is the function of these nominating committees to select five farmers who will serve on the local administrative committee for the coming year. Nominating committees are: La Habra, District "A": Nelson M. Launer, Ross N. Hodson, Edgar Leutwiler. West Fullerton, District "B": Thos. J. Eadington, Harry W. Saulsbery, Paul F. Eadington. East Fullerton-Placentia, District "C": Ernest Danker, Norman Reeves, Wayne Adams. Buena Park-Garden Grove, District "D": Steve Cannon, Kelsey Williams, E. L. Matthews. Anaheim, District "E": C. J.

He told a news conference he will act as speedily as possible but he is trying to avoid the mistake of the last world war. The president said his administration does not want the nation to go through the travail of the last price control period when he had to follow the road of trial and error. Mr. Truman was asked about wages not going up and prices rising fast. He said he agreed this was so and he is working on a plan. Commenting on a statement made yesterday by Gov. Chester Bowles of Connecticut, former OPA administrator, favoring selective price controls, the president said that is being discussed but no decision has been reached. Mr. Truman endorsed the attack by his special assistant, Avera Harriman, on Senator Taft (R).

Today the Exchange has issued a long press release stating that it has paid $1,250,000 to the California Packing Corp., for use of the trade mark exclusively. "Sunkist" has long been employed by the Exchange to identify fresh citrus fruit marketed by the Exchange. California Packing Corp., has used the trade mark on its line of canned fruits and vegetables. California Packing Corp., will discontinue use of the trade mark after it distributes goods packed from the 1950 crop. The Exchange says "First shipments of frozen concentrate bear ing the Sunkist trade mark will move in the immediate future." Initial shipments will be made in one quart containers for the institutional trade." LeRoy Lyon, Exchange director from Orange county, says that $1,250,000 agreement is a major step in the over-all marketing program of the Exchange. State Police Sgt. N. J. Khoury said the Cadow nome yesterday took on the appearance of a mecca. Hundreds of curiosity seekers in automobiles paused for a look at the scene of the whistler's visits—a cottage surrounded by moss-draped oaks. A doctor attended the young bride-to-be who collapsed Tuesday night after she and her mother, her mother's sister and a New Orleans reporter all said they twice heard the intruder's funereal whistle. "The family doesn't seem to have any enemies," said Sheriff Leon Vial. "It is either a crazy person or someone close to the family who has something against them that we don't know about." The girl's mother, Mrs. Clifford Cadow, said it started with whistled wolfcalls last February. Two months ago, when Jacquelyn's engagement to the 26-year-old trooper was announced, the mother said she received telephoned threats. "I'll kill her. I'll stick a knife in her. Your daughter will never marry Herbert," Mrs. Cadow quoted the caller. The wedding is set for Oct. 1. Thief Draws Reduced Sentence With charges reduced from grand to petty theft, Harold R. Condit, 23, Santa Ana, yesterday pleaded guilty and was sentenced, to a term of 180 days, 40 suspended. Condit, a milkman, had been booked on suspicion of grand theft after Mrs. Myrtle Crain, 128 S. Melrose st., reported to Anaheim police earlier this week that two rings and a watch had been stolen from her home. The house, she had told them, had been entered through the front door which she left unlocked for the milkman. La Habra, District "A": Nelson M. Launer, Ross N. Hodson, Edgar Leutwiler.

GBS Undergoes Major Operation LUTON, England (AP) — Playwright George Bernard Shaw today underwent a second major operation at the hospital where he has been recovering from a broken thigh, the British press association reported. The agency said the new surgery was designed to relieve a bladder and kidney condition which began to trouble the 94-year-old Irish-born dramatist after he was first operated on for a fractured thigh. Shaw broke his thigh in a fall in his garden. After the thigh was operated on Sept. 11 Shaw was pronounced in good condition. However, the bladder condition shortly afterward caused his physicians some concern.
