Waters (R-Los Angeles), is the only state in the union which tax its schools. He introduced a bill yesterday to exempt from property taxes the physical plants of non-profit private schools and parochial schools. He said estimates are it would have schools nearly $600,000 a year and reduce revenues state-wide by a similar amount. Waters declared his measure would remove an inequity in the state law which now exempts college grade institutions from taxes. Only the schools themselves, not any outside money-making enterprises they may run, would be免税 from the property taxes, which are levied by cities, counties and various types of districts. Waters said schools with an attendance of some 167,000 students and a valuation of $120,000,000 throughout the state are involved. SB Sun's Picture Spurs Needy Aid SAN BERNARDINO (UP) — The San Bernardino Sun today printed a picture of a widow and two of her four children standing in front of their smoking house. The look on the faces of Mrs. Benita I. Pierce, 40, and Hazel, 11, and Laura, seven, was enough to convey that the family had lost all of its meager possessions in the fire. Soon after the paper appeared on the streets, the newspaper was swamped with hundreds of calls from readers who offered clothing food and housing. The picture was distributed nationally by Associated Press Wirephoto. The mother has been on relief since the death of her husband in 1949. Her sons, Frank, 16, and Richard, 14, helped out with their earnings as newsboys for the San Bernardino Sun and Evening Telegram. "It almost breaks my heart when I think how hard the boys worked to buy me a new refrigerator and then see it go up in smoke just as they almost had it paid off," Mrs. Pierce wrote. The committee approved a resolution asking whoever knows anything about the "crawling Senator" incident to make it public. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch last Dec. 7 reported the Kefauver committee has evidence that an unnamed California Senator was forced to crawl before an frate liquor tycoon, also unidentified. (Senator Jack Tenney has declared on the floor of the Senate that the tycoon was Samish.) Committee Chairman F. Presley Abshire (R-Geyserville) said he is writing the Post-Dispatch for more information. The Kefauver committee, he said, wrote him that Ted Link of the staff of the St. Louis newspaper may have the names. The author of the resolution, Senator H.E. Dillinger (D-Placerville), fold the committee "it is the plain duty of whoever makes these weird accusations to put up or shut up." Iran Shah Clamps On Marfial Law TEHRAN, Iran (UP) — The Shah proclaimed martial law today in this terror-ridden, strategic Middle Eastern country whose oil riches make her position vital in the East-West cold war. The martial law, limited to Tehran and imposed for a period of two months, came amid a wave of rumors that new terrorism had taken the lives of Iranian officials. One rumor, totally unconfirmed here, was that Governor-General Manouchar Egbal of Azerbaijan province on the Soviet border had been slain along with his provincial chief of police. Even as the proclamation was broadcast, the Iranian senate completed action on approval for nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil company, focus of the nationalist anger which has been generating public tension in Iran. The presentation of the martial law proclamation to the Shah was salary of $75,000 yearly "after it is raised by the membership."

PROSPERITY—Anaheim was a prosperous community in 1887 when a couple of shrewd Yankee merchants from New England — George and Edward Amerige — camewest to hunt dove in the mustard patch below the foothills north of Anaheim. They negotiated with the Mills brothers to buy 360 acres of the grazing land and purchased an additional 20 acres from William Flush to round out their real estate subdivision. They learned that the Pacific Land and improvement company of which George H. Fullerton was president had organized the Central Railroad of California and would build a line to San Diego. The Ameriges got into a huddle with Fullerton and had the railroad detoured through their development." As a reward, they named the town for Fullerton. FULLERTON—The first stake was driven July 5, 1887, in a field of lush mustard. That was the site of Fullerton's Spadra and Commonwealth. ‘Hard to Find Truth WASHINGTON GP—A Secretary to RPC Director Walter L. Dunham has testified another director urged her on Feb 20 to rush over to the White House and give Presidential Assistant Donald Dawson a letter of resignation for her boss. Dunham was out of town. Mrs. Florence M. Smoot, the secretary, said Director C. Edward Rowe also proposed revising the customary resignation letter Dunham had left with her for delivery to President Truman if the president asked for it. She gave her testimony behind closed doors yesterday to a Senate Banking subcommittee whose members have complained they "can't find the truth" in conflicting stories from Dunham and Rowe. The group made it public today. Mrs. Smooth was called witness because Dunham charged that Rowe tried to him to resign and he "the of the Senate investigation o leged influence in RPC len Rowe denied it. He also disp Mrs. Smoot's story. In addition to gathering mony on this point, the Sen decided at their closed session continue their inquiry indefinitely.

BEGINNING — On May 22, 1888, the Fullerton postoffice was opened with E. E. Beazley as its postmaster. As part of his chores, he was required to horse-and-buggy or go on horseback to Anaheim to fetch the handful of Fullerton mail. Postal records of that day show that Fullerton postoffice did $35.03 worth of business a week. Beazley served as postmaster until Aug. 30, 1890, when William Starbuck one of the county's most colorful personages, took over. Besides being postmaster, Starbuck was the operator of the first telephone exchange; he was the town morlician; its druggist; librarian; operated the first hospital between Los Angeles and San Diego; and in 1892 with Alex McDermont was instrumental in forming the Fullerton high school. CHANGE—After a strange disease ruined Anaheim's vineyards, orange and walnuts replaced the grapes. The Placentia and Yorba Linda areas were rapidly being brought under cultivation at that time. VALENCIAS—R. H. Gilman is generally credited with being the father of the Valencia orange. He came to California in 1862 and was sent to the Placentia district in 1872 by the Semi-Tropic Fruit Co. for whom he purchased 110 acres at $17.50 an acre on Placentia ave. It was on Jan. 1, 1873, that Gilman started the development of the first extensive citrus holding in the state. He planted a few seedling trees, dug an 80 foot well, drew the water by hand and carried it to each tree in five-gallon buckets. Later he added horse-power to facilitate his work. Progress was slow. Seven years passed before he and otheranch- It was on Jan. 1, 1873, that Gilman started the development of the first extensive citrus holding in the state. He planted a few seedling trees, dug an 80 foot well, drew the water by hand and carried it to each tree in five-gallon buckets. Later he added horse-power to facilitate his work. Progress was slow. Seven years passed before he and other ranchers formed the Cajon Canal Company to make irrigation reality. In 1882, or thereabout, he received a shipment of unlabled trees from the Rivers Brothers Nursery of London. He braved skeptics, took buds of a late producer and started the Valencia orange industry. A bronze marker now notes the site of that tree, which, at last reports was still healthy and producing. NITECAPSULE — Vineyards gave way to oranges; sugarbeets and walnuts all have passed from the picture. It won't be long before the orange is a thing of the past—it is being replaced by subdivisions. He Still Needs Parent's Consent LONDON (UK)—"No, no, no!" cried Isaac Langley, just turned 101, "I don't want to get married again." And he wrote to three women who told him they were eligible and looking for a husband, that he is not in the market for a wife. The suggestion made at his birthday party last Saturday that he was seeking a mate was not correct, he said. Find Truth' in Senate's RFC Hearing Mrs. Smooth was called as a business because Dunham has urged that Rowe tried to get him to resign and he "the goat" the Senate investigation of alleged influence in RFC lending. He denied it. He also disputed Smoot's story. In addition to gathering testimony on this point, the Senatorsided at their closed session to continue their inquiry indefinite-Chairman Fulbright (D-Ark) favored winding it up by March 31, but the six other members overruled him. In mid-February, the Senateup had already developed much national testimony about alleged favoritism in multi-millionRFC loans. It had accused Director Dunham, Rowe and William E. Willett of yielding influence and named Dawson as one of those wielding the influence. Dunham, in poor health, had gone to Florida, leaving with Mrs. Smoot a letter of resignation to be delivered in case President Trueman wanted it while Dunham was away. Mrs. Smoot said Rowe came to her, proposed a revision of the letter by rewriting the first page and picking up the second page and Dunham's signature. She quoted Rowe as saying: "I think it is most important that you get this letter over to Donald Dawson (a White House hide) today, and don't send it by messenger or don't put it in the mail. You deliver it personally, yourself." She said Rowe told her Dunham "will not have to return from Florida" if she followed his instructions, and that "he may not even have to testify. I think this will clear everything up." Mrs. Smoot said the revision proposed that Dunham resign with a statement that "I am being crucified on the Hill (Congress) because I voted for the Lustron and Texmass loans." Mrs. Smoot said she telephoned Dunham, read the proposed revision to him, and "Mr. Dunham was very angry." "Don't you dare to let that letter got; she quoted him as ordering" The pinon pine tree is the only member of the pine family which bears edible nuts. S BRING YOU ANOTHER GREAT ROOM "BUY"!
