Rafflers Safe After Hunt Ends WAYNOKA (UP) — The rattle snakes in this northwestern Oklahoma ranching section can crawl out of their holes today. The hint’s over. They made themselves scarce yesterday in the 67,000-acre area designated by the Waynoka Saddle club for the annual safari. So only 205 were captured by the 500 persons attending from 15 states. That’s a far cry from the 1200 bagged last year by a much smaller hunting party. One big reason is that the weather—34-degree temperatures along with rain, snow and hall—made the snakes blood run cold. Whereas the hills usually are alive with the venomous reptiles, there was hardly one to be seen. SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—The state attorney-general office today scheduled a hearing in Los Angeles April 16 to find out whether a club operating 60 tables of draw poker really a “non-profit and charitable organization.” Subject of the investigation is the Airport Club, in which conducts its charitable operations in a $400,000 building at Seal Beach in Orange county. Arthur H. Sherry, chief assistant attorney general, said the establishment operated a 200-seat bingo game until he visited it early in March at the request of Sheriff James Musick and District Attorney James Davis. But 60 tables of draw poker continued to flourish. Draw poker is legal in California. But not in Seal Beach unless it’s conducted by a non-profit organization. Seal Beach adopted its non-profit restriction on gambling last July 17. The next day, Sherry said, James V. Arnesch, president of the Airport Club, Inc., applied for and got a permit to operate as a non-profit charitable organization. Sherry said the club’s books and records would be examined at the Los Angeles hearing to find out if non-profit poker is played. “If not,” Sherry remarked, “it will be very interesting to find out how the club continues to operate.” He said the state would subpoena as witnesses Arnerich and William L. Robertson, who has a large interest in the club and appeared recently before the Kefauver hearing in Los Angeles. Robertson is a former Los Angeles police lieutenant.

Rotarians Hear Commerce Offici The Anaheim Rotary club at noon meeting today elected members to the board of directors and heard a speech tracing progress of the nation’s deforestation program. Elected to the board are: An Baker, Dick Gay, Jim Morris, Rev Phil Selfridge, and Harri Smith. Speaker at the meeting was Walter E. Elyson, of the Department of Commerce. Los Angels Mr. Elyson predicted the year 1985 would be the most productive year in American history and, barring an all-out war, would see the highest standard of living for the nation.

No more night club acts—no more sleeping in a cage back of a night club or in a garage during rainy nights. Fagan became a "boarder" at the Columbus zoo yesterday in a cage with strong bars where the temperature is always 72 degrees. The arrangements are temporary, Fagan's trainer, Earl Humeston, said he was flat broke after the police stopped a night club act in which he wrestled with the lion. Humeston said he now has a job with a landscaper which should provide enough money to pay for Fagan's board—about 10 or 12 pounds of horsemeat daily. Fagan first became homeless when the Army drafted his master, Floyd Humeston, brother of Earl, early this year. LA VOTES TOMORROW LOS ANGELES (UP)—Los Angeles voters will ballot tomorrow on city council posts and three bond issues aggregating $40 million. Electors will vote on councilmen in all 15 districts. On the three bond issues, one calls for a $25 million civic auditorium, one for a $10 million music center and the other for a $5 million slum clearance fund. Also to be voted on are four board of education seats, 12 municipal judges and 15 charter amendment proposals. Local Penney's Now 30 Years Old Growth from a $500 store in a Wyoming mining town to a multi-million dollar, 1610-store chain of dry goods establishments in 49 years is the record of activity the J. C. Penney Co. is celebrating this week and the next four. James Cash Penney opened his first store, the "Golden Rule" in Kemmerer, Wyo., in 1902 with his life savings of $500 as the starting capital. Today, his organization has become the largest drygoods concern in the world. The Anaheim branch of the Penney Co. will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year in conjunction with the nationwide celebration of the birthday of its parent organization. Oscar Solter, manager, said approximately $25,000 worth of merchandise will be placed on sale at a savings of thousands of dollars to the store's customers. Founder of the huge Penney organization is the son of a bitterly poor Primitive Baptist minister who served his people in Hamilton, Mo. Leader of a poor but very strict sect, the senior Penney brought his son and namesake up with a healthy respect for money with due regard for the ethical side of merchandising and with an ingrained respect for the masses of humanity who were to become his customers. Putting his $500 to work and guiding his actions by the principles taught by his father, J. C. Penney rapidly expanded his small store and established branches, in neighboring towns first, then in neighboring states and eventually...

In the Airport Club, Inc., actions in a $400,000 buildwith a healthy respect for money with due regard for the ethical side of merchandising and with an ingrained respect for the masses of humanity who were to become his customers. Putting his $500 to work and guiding his actions by the princiciples taught by his father, J. C. Penney rapidly expanded his small store and established branches, in neighboring towns first, then in neighboring states and eventually throughout the United States, until today his name is carried on the fronts of 1610 stores throughout the nation. Buying power is the secret of low-cost retailing, according to Manager Oscar Solter, and the 1610-store purchasing power of the Penney stores permits the offering of huge quantities of quality merchandise at prices not often encountered in this age of rocketing prices and declining values, he said. Californians Cool to Nomination Searles as Interior Undersec. WASHINGTON (P)—Richard D. Searles 45-year-oldana rancher, was nominated today by President TrumanUndersecretary of the Interior. The post has been vacant since Oscar L. Chapman was voted from Undersecretary to Secretary of Interior in December, 1949.

One California congressman greeted Searles' appointment coolly. There was no indication, however, of any effort to block its confirmation by the Senate. Rep. Yorty (D-Calif.) told a reporter it is "one more failure of the administration to recognize the steadily increasing importance of California in the national economy." Noting California has no one in the cabinet, Yorty said Searles' appointment demonstrates the political power of Arizona in the Interior Department. It explains, he added, "the energetic advocacy of the Central Arizona reclamation project by some reclamation bureau members who are making every effort to get the project authorized by Congress in spite of its lack of approval by Secretary of Interior Oscar Chapman. Rep. Engle (D-Calif.) said he will examine Searles' qualifications for the job "closely and without prejudice." Yorty and Engle are supporting California's fight against the Central Arizona project. It would use Colorado river water claimed by both California and Arizona. EIM NEY'S TH ANNIVERSARY The Once A Year Event You Cannot Afford to Miss! Shop Penney's and Save!
