San Diego City Council Appeals For 20,000 New Homes in 90 Days SAN DIEGO—(AP)—San Diego is bulging at the seams again. The City Council says it needs 20,000 additional homes within 90 days. This was information dispatched to Washington last night in an appeal for help. The City Council, basing its report on information from the Navy and aircraft plants, said the housing situation was worse than at any time since World War II. "We are just where we were in 1941," said Mayor Harley Knox. "But in 1941 we talked about 4000 to 5000 housing units and we got 15,000. Now we need 20,000 in 90 days." He added he realized the 90-day limit was impossible to meet. The World War II boom, due principally to Navy and aircraft plant expansion, swelled the city's population from 200,000 to 350,000. A $2,548,000 expansion to the Marine Corps Recruit depot on San Diego Bay will start soon, it was announced. The Navy has also let a million-dollar contract for rehabilitation of World War II Camp Elliott for use as a training center for 9000 more Bluejacket recruits — an overflow from the regular training center.

Nothing Better Than Good Food Throughout California, the property tax bill for county purposes amounted to $303,781,966 for this year, 1950-51, 16 per cent greater than the $261,355,899 levy for 1949-50, the association found. Statewide, the total property tax levy for the counties for 1944-45 was $124,009,822. For 1939-40 it was $119,045,053. "The direct property tax is only one of the sources which finance expenditures by counties in California," the Taxpayers' association pointed out. "A good-sized part of the county road budget is supported by state-collected gas and motor vehicle taxes. "Much of the county budget for aid to the needy is financed by subventions from the state and federal governments — and the same people pay state and federal taxes. "Everyone agrees that property taxes in California are high—as are all other kinds of taxes, federal, state and local," the association said. "Government spending is the cause of taxes." "Public spending for non-military purposes should be rigidly controlled." Miriam Myrick Dies Saturday Miriam Harrison Myrick, 78, succumbed Saturday morning at Olsen's Rest home, 503 W.

That is the way Joseph N. Damillot, 3414 E. 5th Street, Dayton, Ohio, used to be, but since he has been taking HADACOL, he says he feels just fine and is able to enjoy lots and lots of fine foods. Mr. Damillot found that taking HADACOL helped his system overcome a deficiency of Vitamins B1: B2, Niacin and Iron. Here is Mr. Damillott's statement: "My first bottle of HADACOL convinced me that HADACOL was what I needed for the gas on my stomach at nights. I could not keep food on my stomach but after the first bottle I was going great. Now I eat bacon and eggs, and other foods that never would stay with me. I also can sleep well at nights. Thanks to HADACOL, I will never be without it, and can recommend it to all who suffer with the above alliments that I had. I know because I have suffered for quite some time." (Adv.)

No wonder he came a legend in the coaching business. Howser Loses Libel Suit as Jury Decides Pearson WASHINGTON (AP) — Fred N.
