VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Supervisors OK Judicial Switch Consolidation of the county's 11 townships and 13 city court jurisdictions into five judicial districts, including two municipal court districts and three justice court districts, as recommended by the state judicial council, was approved yesterday by the county board of supervisors and the plan was forwarded to the state legislature. The legislature creates the judicial districts under authority of the court reorganization amendment passed by the voters last November. Anaheim, Fullerton and Brea townships are combined in one of the two municipal court districts. Santa Ana, Orange and Tustin townships in the other. The three justice court districts cover the coastal area—Seal Beach and Huntington Beach townships forming one, Newport Beach township another and Laguna Beach and San Juan townships being combined in a third. Altogether, 24 justice and city courts will be condensed into five courts under the recommendation adopted by the supervisors. At present there are 22 judges holding the 24 judicial seats. In Tustin and Laguna Beach townships, the justice of the peace is also city judge. State Recreation Member Gives Suggestions Here Anaheim's city council, elementary and high school boards of trustees, representatives of local P-TA's, the recreation commission and other interested parties last night met to hear a report on the recreation situation and needs of Anaheim by Arvid Pauley of the State Recreation Department. Pauley's report included 22 recommendations for changes in the Anaheim recreation program to cover the department's activities for the next several years. Probably the most important recommendation proposed the ultimate merger of the Park and Recreation departments to make the fullest possible use of recreational facilities largely concentrated in the parks. Another outlined methods of arranging recreation financing between the department, the city and the various school boards. Councilman Oscar Heying, chairman of the Recreation commission presided over the meeting. Recreation Director Don Derr represented the Recreation department. Junior Chamber Has Boss's Night Tonight is Boss's Night at the regular dinner meeting of the Underwater Signals Spur Search For Sub Trapped Beneath Channel PORTSMOUTH, Eng., (P) — Faint underwater signals spurred a blind search today for the British submarine Affray, stuck on the bottom of the English Channel. Time was swiftly running out for any of the 75 officers and men aboard who might still be alive. The submarine, trapped in the initial dive of a training cruise, had been under 198 feet of water for 40 hours when the Royal Navy announced at mid-afternoon that it had been unable to make any physical contact with the craft. Its normal oxygen supply would last the men on board 40 hours. A Naval expert said reserve supplies might let the 75 men aboard live another eight hours, but "that means by 2100 hours (3 p.m., EST) the situation inside the vessel would be extremely dangerous." The last faint signals from the submarine were heard at 8:30 a.m. (2:30 a.m., EST) Then came hours of ominous silence. There was an atmosphere of mystery about it. Why, the rescue crews asked, could not the trapped men begin coming to the surface through escape hatches, using emergency breathing gear? Why had the submarine failed to release its emergency marker buoy to guide rescue craft? Why, if there had been disaster, had the rescue fleet failed to find any debris or even an oil slick? A Royal Air Force search plane (Continued on Page 7) Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m., today was 65. High for the previous 24 hours was 71 at 3 p.m., yesterday.

Indiana st. area about a large dog which was allegedly molesting people and picking fights with other dogs. One caller said the dog in question had mauled a small white pup. Robert Spencer, Anaheim dog-catcher, was dispatched to the scene to pick up the dog. Far from resisting Spencer's effort in pursuance of his duty, the dog seemed friendly and cooperative. He refused, however, to climb into the rear of the truck when Spencer opened the doors, so the dog-catcher invited him to ride up front. The dog, of predominantly Boxer origin, accepted with alacrity and gave Spencer a tongue-lapping for his kindness. At the police station the dog lolled about on the floor and responded in the ingratiating manner of all pups to the attentions of the police officers. Spencer removed the dog to the city pound, but was a bit dubious about labeling him "vicious." May Draft Call Cut 20,000 Men WASHINGTON (UP)—The Army today cuts its May draft call from 60,000 to 40,000 men. The action follows the halving of the April call which was cut from 80,000 to 40,000. Both cuts were based on the increase of volunteer enlistments, the Army said. Since January 64,000 men have volunteered for the Army. This is 34,000 more than the Army anticipated. The Army said lighter than expected casualties in Korea also influenced the decision to reduce the number of men needed through the draft.

He made his dramatic announcement during the warm and riotous greeting by at least 400 people who jammed downtown streets and the city civic center.

Opposition has met the growers efforts to expand its camp in Anaheim and to build a new one near the County hospital. Now, "taxpayers" of Fullerton are being heard concerning the location of a camp in the Fullerton railroad yards, west of Raymond st. The battle had an airing before the Fullerton City Council last night when a "taxpayers group" led by Mel Thibault raked the council over the coals for "permitting" the camp to be located in Fullerton. The council replied that the city's legal department and its planning consultant had determined that Citrus Growers had complied with city zoning ordinances and there was no legal way to stop construction on the housing project. Opponents of housing for the Mexican workmen say they are not opposing orange growers. They simply want them to take their camp elsewhere. They say the project should have gone through the Fullerton Planning commission, that the camp will require increased police expenditures, and that property in the area will be depreciated. Building permits were issued to Citrus Growers last Thursday (Continued on Page 7) Brown Motel Purchased for $100,000 of the big real estate collections of the year was com- in Anaheim this week when Paul, and Lulu Arage, of him, sold the Crown motel to Steenborg who comes here Bellevue, Wash.

Steenborg has been general manager of the Upland Winery, Sunnyside, Wash. He is a widely acknowledged expert on grape growing and wines. He gained his early winemaking experience from his father in the great grape-growing communities along the Rhine river in Germany. Steenorg was a winemaker in Andel and Bercastel on the Moselle river late in 1924, two years prior to coming to the United States. He then went to the wine-growing area of Washington where his specialized knowledge helped him produce wines of high quality. Mr. and Mrs. Steenborg have one daughter, Erica. Steenborg says he selected Anaheim for his motel venture because the city has a reputation (Continued on page 7) OWNER of the Crown motel, located across N.
