Assemblyman William H. Rosenthal (D-Los Angeles) asked ex-servicemen to bombard Sacramento with messages giving their own views on his bonus proposal. He said he has heard only from veterans posts and most of them are in favor of the plan. State leaders of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars; he added, haven't given their position. Rosenthal estimates the payments would cost around $400,000,000. He seeks a tax on cigarettes and tobacco products to pay the bill. The bonus would amount to $15 a month for overseas service, up to $500; $10 a month for domestic service, up to $250; and $550 a year for life for amputees, paralegics, blind and totally disabled. Only veterans who lived in California at least six months before donning uniform in World War II or the Korean war would be eligible. The measure is set for its first hearing before the Assembly Constitutional Amendments committee next Wednesday. If it gets through the legislature, it will go YMCA Drive Gets Into Gear YMCA "Operation Success" to raise funds for the new YMCA building is coming along with a grand total reported, so far, of $7332.

Edwin Beebe Feared Lost in Lake Mishap Search was abandoned yesterday for Edwin Beebe, a Los Angeles school teacher, formerly of Anaheim, who disappeared Saturday while on a fishing expedition on a Colorado river lake off Cottonwood Landing in Nevada. While he and his two companions were fishing about three miles from shore Saturday, a storm came up and he insisted they board a passing barge. Beebe said he would bring the small outboard motorboat to shore. He has not been seen since. Beebe had lived most of his life in Anaheim, but had lately established residence at 5742 N. Grand Ave., Glendora. He was a graduate of Occidental college. His wife and parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Beebe, 738 N.

Mayors Study City and County Tax Relation Mayor Charles Pearson a mayor of other Orange counties left today for Berkshire where they will attend a meeting called by the California League of Cities to discuss legislation pertaining to city-county relations. Major topic of discussion was concern city-type services supplied to unincorporated county areas, for which city taxpayers pay a share without receiving benefits—since they pay both county taxes. These services are paid for out of county general funds. Legislation is pending before Local Rotarians Attend Coronado District Meeting Members of the Anaheim Rotary club attending the 162nd District Conference at Coronado the first part of this week are Claude Russell, president of the local club; Dick Gay, president-elect; Arch Baker, vice-president elect; E.

CHILD INJURED Minor injuries were received by Donna Elece Sissel, 5½, when a car driven by her mother, Mrs. Elece Emma Sissel, 25, of 1202 E. Seventeenth st., Santa Ana, collided with a car driven by Rita Fields Moore, 31, 13762 Harper st., Santa Ana, yesterday. The collision took place at St. Andrews place and S. Broadway, Santa Ana. Beebe had lived most of his life in Anaheim, but had lately established residence at 5742 N. Grand Ave., Glendora. He was a graduate of Occidental college. His wife and parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Beebe, 738 N. Philadelphia st., Anaheim, went to Searchlight, Nev., near the lake Sunday, but returned Tuesday when Beebe's brother, Comdr. Marshall Beebe, Navy flier stationed at San Diego, abandoned his aerial search of the area. Two brothers-in-law continued the search yesterday. Edwin Beebe's father, E. M. Beebe, stated that he begun to give up hope Monday when he was told the conditions surrounding the tragedy. (He and his son had been fishing at the same lake just a month previously.) Jury Finds Scott Guilty of Charges Lloyd Raymond Scott, of Anaheim, was found guilty of receiving stolen property and contributing to the delinquency of minors when a jury in Superior Judge Raymond Thompson's court, Santa Ana, returned its verdict late yesterday. Scott's attorney, Lloyd Verry, immediately filed motion for a new trial and Judge Thompson set May 11 for hearing the motion. Scott was found guilty of disposing of a 3½ horsepower motor and tools which two youths of juvenile age had stolen, Feb. 9, from the implement shed at the Clarence W. Mauerhan ranch at 1262 Katella rd. Major topic of discussion will concern city-type services supplied to unincorporated county areas, for which city taxpayers pay a share without receiving benefits—since they pay both city and county taxes. These services are paid for out of county general funds. Legislation is pending before the California legislature which would give relief to city taxpayers by requiring the formation of a purpose districts in unincorporated areas which would be self-supporting. Chief problem area according to local officials, is Los Angeles county, where huge aggregations of population in county territory refuse to incorporate. Closely related to the city-type services problem will be a discussion of ways and means of financing the responsibilities of the county without aid from city taxpayers, who now provide more than half the funds for such services. Mayor Pearson is expected back in Anaheim early next week. SCOUTS TO CAMP Accompanied by Scoutmaster A. M.

"Don't put off filing for your tax exemption" is the joint advice given to veterans in Orange county by Ben Liebermann, county Service Officer, and Assessor Maurice Enderle. This year's period for applying for the constitutional tax exemption on $1000 worth of property began on March 5, and the May 28 deadline is fast approaching. Only approximately 60 per cent have applied thus far as compared to the total of veterans to whom exemptions were granted last year. They pointed to the experience of previous years, when a last-minute rush has forced many veterans to stand in line, and other veterans showing up after the deadline have had to be told that they were too late to take advantage of this substantial benefit. The State Constitution provides this exemption for any veteran owning not more than $5000 worth of property. The exemption applies also to certain widows, mothers and fathers of deceased veterans. "Veterans must appear at the assessors office in person each year to renew their exemption," the two officials advise. "They must bring along their discharges or similar proof of veteran status if they are applying at that office for the first time." Veterans who cannot get to the assessors office during business hours can have their wives file for them. Those owning property in a different county can file with the assessor in their county of residence.

The Chinese moved in with large forces last November and MacArthur's armies suffered heavy casualties in a long and bloody withdrawal. The five star general, deposed from his commands in a bitter policy dispute with President Truman, was before a Senate Investigating committee to tell his story. As he did when in an address to Congress on April 19, MacArthur said his proposals for hitting back at the Chinese communists with air and naval power had been endorsed by the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. He said he could only "assume" that Mr. Truman or Secretary of Defense Marshall vetoed the Joint Chief's ideas. To back up his words to investigating Senators, MacArthur produced a document which he identified as a war study submitted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Marshall. Dated Jan. 12, it embraced his proposals for economic and naval blockade of China, air operations over Manchuria, and supply of Chinese nationalist forces. He testified behind closed doors but a copy of his testimony—passed first through a military sensor as a precaution against disclosure of secret military information—was given to news reporters. This disclosed that MacArthur also said: 1. He believes a few additional ground troops could wind up the fighting in Korea if backed up by air and naval action against communist China such as he has recommended. 2.
