Contest One Seat In MWD Election Only one seat on the board of directors of the new Orange county Municipal Water district will be contested at the district's first election, May 22, it was disclosed today, following termination of the filing period. In Division 3, extending along the northerly side of the county, there are two candidates, Clem M. McCulloch, prominent Placentia rancher of 5631 S. Placentia ave., and City Councilman Charles Newsom of La Habra, residing at 624 W. Erna st., that city. Lone candidates in the other divisions are: Division 1, Richard W.

Allen of Orange, secretary-manager of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. Division 5, W. B. Hellis, 12802 S. Panorama Crest, general man- Division 1, Richard W. Rogers, contractor, 717 Ocean ave., Seal Beach. Division 2, Gerald L. Price, farmer and manufacturer of farm implements, 14822 Van Buren st., Midway City. Division 4, Mayor Glenn P. Allen of Orange, secretary-manager of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. Division 5, W. B. Hellis, 12802 S. Panorama Crest, general manager of the Irvine Co. Leaders in the move to form the municipal water district expressed relief that no more than two candidates appeared in any division, thus assuring a decision at the May 22 election, and avoiding a runoff, which would have upset the timetable by which they hope to see the district annexed to the Metropolitan Water district by late August. An election on annexation to MWD, objective of the entire movement, will be called by the board of directors, when organized. For a time there was prospect of a possible runoff in Division 3, as Ernest Jenkinson of Buena Park had been proposed as a candidate. Jenkinson, however, withdrew. McCulloch was picked by the Placentia-Yorba Linda areas as their candidate, and Newson was put forward as a candidate by La Habra interests. Bar Bar Sought SANGER, Calif.

Variety of Spots to Hold Crowds For Observance of Easter Sunday LOS ANGELES (P)—Southern Californians in all walks of life will gather by the thousands Sunday in outdoor amphitheaters, on mountain tops, in the desert, at the beach and even on the deck of an aircraft carrier to worship when the Easter sun rises again. The familiar story of Christ's Resurrection and the familiar music will be heard by an expected 25,000 in Hollywood Bowl and by possibly 50,000 in Pasadena's Rose Bowl. Slightly warmer weather was predicted for Easter but the Weather Bureau, in its forecast for the weekend, said hazy sunshine and variable high cloudiness could be expected. The sun will rise at 5:50 a.m. Sunday and most of the services are scheduled to start a few minutes after that time.

Educator Says Public Compliance On School Affairs Addressing a dinner meeting of the Orange County League Cities in Huntington Beach evening, Thomas McGraff, curculum co-ordinator at California Polytechnic College in Dimas declared that people general are too complacent about affairs in the schools and that best way to encourage demos in youth would be for the school to show interest in "realistic munity problems." Classroom discussions in various grades on public art would be much to the advantage of the rising generation, said Graff. He stated that public interest turns very little to schools even during camp for the election of school trustees. In connection with his "Community Planning for Action," he emphasized that community cleaning is not just a task. A.

Hamlin's "The Rock," three-act religious drama of the character development of Simon Peter. During their northern tour they gave performances at San Luis Obispo, Berkeley, San Mateo, Sacramento and Fresno and tonight are presenting "The Rock" at First Methodist Church in Long Beach. During this tour the troupers were introduced to the State Legislature Assembly by Speaker Sam Collins of Fullerton, and also paid a visit to Sutter's Fort. Traveling from city to city, presenting their play on different sized stages each night, the Footlighters have learned to be quite resourceful, but their Sacraments engagement provided the greatest challenge yet to their creativity.

Tobey Says 'Look at O'Dwyer' WASHINGTON (AP) — Senator Tobey (R-NH) said today the Senate Foreign Relations committee ought to look into the position of Ambassador William O'Dwyer in the light of Senate Critihe committee hearings. Asked if he thought O'Dwyer should resign as Ambassador to Mexico, Tobey told a news conference: "That is in the hands of the president. You know what I would do if I were president." In hearings in New York, the Crime Investigating committee received testimony from John P. Crane, head of the Uniform Firemen's association, that he gave $10,000 to O'Dwyer in 1949. O'Dwyer was then mayor of New York. O'Dwyer denied there was any truth in Crane's story. As one result of the New York hearings, federal law enforcement officials are going over the record for evidence of possible perjury or tax evasion. Tobey said he felt the crime committee, now scheduled to wind up its work March 31, should go on for at least two more months. "If we had 60 more days, the committee could clean up some very rotten spots that have not been touched as yet and they are legion," he declared. Tobey expressed "heartfelt gratitude" at the resignation of James J. Moran, a friend of O'Dwyer. Fullerton to Get Citrus Labor Camp With the county board of supervisors turning thumbs down on the proposed building of a Mexican labor camp near the Orange county hospital, plans were announced to construct the camp in Fullerton by George Graham, manager of Citrus Growers Inc., this week. The camp, which will be the 13th in the county, will house 1000 laborers. The citrus growers' organization is made up of 29 citrus packing houses which handle the labor importation. Citrus Growers recently announced the camp to be built near Orange county hospital but protests kept the Planning Commission and Supervisors from granting approval. Search for a new site turned up the one in Fullerton, which is zoned for industrial use and does not need planning approval. The site is about eight acres of land and is inside the wye of the Santa Fe Railway formed by the Placentia, Fullerton and San Diego line tracks, on East Walnut street. The entrance will be from Raymond Avenue and the city of Fullerton will require proper sewerage, and that a new street be built. "If the camp complies with the safety and sanitary codes, there is nothing the planning commission can do about it" said Herman Hilltscher, city engineer of Fullerton. Packing houses are desperate for labor and must move fast to secure enough men to handle the big Valencia orange crop to be harvested this summer, Graham said.
