David Goodman Leaves County Jobs Under Fire Resignation of David M. Goodman, county personnel administrator, whose department has been under fire from some sections of county government, was presented to the County Supervisors at a special closed session late yesterday. The resignation was announced afterward by Chairman Willis Warner and Supervisor Willard Smith. Goodman, who took charge of the personnel department when it was established July 1, 1949, will leave it early in July, though his resignation is not effective until the end of that month. Vacation and overtime leave will permit him to get away earlier. He announced that he intends to enter personnel work in private industry. The department, which has been attacked in some quarters as unnecessary, will be continued, the supervisors stated. No successor for Goodman has been picked at this time. Chairman Warner expressed the view that some of the criticism leveled at Goodman by county officials was because they GETTING TOGETHER last night at the Fifth Annual Community left to right): Mayor Charles Pearson, Dr. John O.

Dr. Moseley Warns That National Must Show Stout Stuff to Survive Addressing an audience of approximately 250 Chamber of Commerce members and guests at last night's Fifth Annual Civic Week banquet at the Elk's club, Dr. John O. Mosely, guest speaker on the evening's program, chose pioneering as the basic quality underlining his address, "Planning a Life for Leadership." "We are in the midst of one of the greatest pioneering adventures the world has ever known—and the great need today is for men who will go ahead," declared Dr. Mosely. "With every advance there are those who are scared out of their boots. We need pioneers for a changing world, now entering a new era, new powers and new problems." Dr. Mosely illustrated his theme for pioneers today with seven subversive doctrines contradictory to true leadership: Naturalism which destroys the finer things of life. Behaviorism, a product of environment—our forefathers were too busy overcoming adversity to fall victims of this characteristic. Collectivism—the "voice of the industrial day winds up civic progress week."

The department, which has been attacked in some quarters as unnecessary, will be continued, the supervisors stated. No successor for Goodman has been picked at this time. Chairman Warner expressed the view that some of the criticism leveled at Goodman by county officials was because they did not understand the duties of a personnel administrator. Goodmar still has several major assignments in bringing his department into shape for his successor, following recent adoption of a general new county wage schedule. Clarence Vetterli Arraigned Today LOS ANGELES (U)—Clarence H. Vetterli, El Camino Junior college journalism instructor and former instructor at Anaheim high school, was arraigned today on a perjury charge stemming from the 1949 Canadian espionage case. Federal Judge Peirson M. Hall continued Vetterli's plea until May 21. The indictment accused him of telling a 1949 federal grand jury that he never furnished money to anyone to go to Japan for any purpose. He is also accused of denying to the jurors that he had been told that Ignacy Samuel Witzak was an agent of the communist internationale. Vetterli denied the charges and said he has never been a communist and "has no sympathy for communism." Dr. Moseley illustrated his theme for pioneers today with seven subversive doctrines contradictory to true leadership: Naturalism which destroys the finer things of life. Behaviorism, a product of environment—our forefathers were too busy overcoming adversity to fall victims of this characteristic. Collectivism—the "voice of the people" mob rule idea. Fraternalism, emphasizing the slavery to the sate. Expressionism, letting our youth do as they want. Dr. Moseley warns too deep a sense of so-called security might well stupify youth whom, he believes, are not seeking security alone as much as an opportunity to make good. The sixth danger he outlined was materialism, the belief that happiness comes from just the material things of life, and lastly, High School Band To Visit Catalina Some 135 members and guests of the Anaheim high school band and orchestra department, directed by Bill Cook, will leave tomorrow at 7:15 a.m. by bus for Wilmington where they will embark on a day-long excursion on the island of Catalina.

Marshall; Truman Ordered MacArthur to 'Hold Allies' Communists Seem to be at It Again; Planning Another Mass Offensive KOREA-INTERNATIONAL AT A GLANCE FIGHTING FRONT — Commustists mass forces north of Seoul and on central front for apparent renewal of spring offensive. Eighth army observers say reds will attempt headon smash at Seoul and encircle move east of city. Chiese move down from 38th Parallel on central front to join 1500 of their comrades sighted near capyong. Allied planes attack bulldup areas and supply routes. Encounter unusually heavy anti-aircraft fire. HOME FRONT—Defense Secretary Marshall again takes stand They met only light opposition. One infantry company marched into Inje without firing a shot. Elsewhere the front was quiet except for restless, probing patrols. But there was continual movement back of communist lines. The reds were building up four sizable pockets for a possible two pronged drive on Seoul. They appeared to be massing in an arc north and northeast of the old South Korean capital. Allied outposts got set to meet an assault. They sandbagged their positions, built booby traps and strung barbed wire. WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman told Gen. Douglas MacArthur last Jan. 13, that Korean war policy must be designed to keep the support of Allies "we would desperately need" in case of war with Russia. This was contained in a message sent by the president as a follow up to a set of 16 possible courses of action the Joint Chiefs of Staff had dispatched to MacArthur the previous day. The text of the president's message, in paraphrased form, was read by Secretary of Defense Marshall to Senate committees inquiring into MacArthur's dismissal as Far Eastern commander. In his fifth day in the witness chair, Marshall also testified: 1. At President Truman's request, the Joint Chiefs of Staff met on Sunday, April 8, to discuss the MacArthur situation HOME FRONT—Defense Secretary Marshall again takes stand on fifth straight day before Senate committee in Washington. Said yesterday U.S. should never "hold" to allow red China a seat in United Nations. Republican senators charge Western Europe buildup is just as likely to incame Russians as General MacArthur's policies in Far East. RUBBER—Britain denies red China any more rubber during re-raiding of 1951. Indonesian spokesman says his country will continue supplying communists. TOKYO (UP) — United Nations troops shoved ahead three miles in the east Korean front today, in the west they dug in to meet expected red offensive.

Jury Denies Claim In Accident Suit Denial of a $35,200 damage suit brought by a Cypress woman, Mrs. Esther Irene Schoenveld, and members of her family, for injuries received in a traffic crash near Anaheim last June 6 was noted by a jury in Superior Court Santa Ana yesterday. After deliberating 44 minutes, the jury decided the case in favor of Eugene J. Kelly, driver, and Mrs. George Battle, owner, of the other car involved. They had been named defendants in the damage suit. Mrs. Schoenveld had sued for $25,000 for her injuries and $5000 had been asked by her husband, Edward, on behalf of their son, Anthony, 11. The father also asked $5203.03 special damages for medical and other costs. The text of the president's message, in paraphrased form, was read by Secretary of Defense Marshall to Senate committees inquiring into MacArthur's dismissal as Far Eastern commander. In his fifth day in the witness chair, Marshall also testified: 1. At President Truman's request, the Joint Chiefs of Staff met on Sunday, April 8, to discuss the MacArthur situation "based on purely military considerations." Their recommendation was that MacArthur be dismissed. Three days later he was. 2. The "emotional wave" touched off by MacArthur's dismissal was foreseen by those responsible but the decision was regarded as inevitable. Marshall said the expectation was that once this way passed "there would be some sober thinking." For the first time, Marshall was asked to return for an afternoon session. He has been testifying for only half a day. Chairman Russell (D-Ga) of the Joint Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees said sessions would be held tomorrow "in order to complete General Marshall's testimony." The chief development of the forenoon was the reading of Mr. Truman's message to MacArthur. At the outset, the president said his telegram "was not to be taken in any sense as a directive." He added that "it's purpose is to give you something of what is in our minds regarding the political factors." At one place the presidential message read: "Our courses of action this time should be such as to consolidate the great majority of the United Nations. This majority is not merely part of the organization but is also the nations whom we would desperately need to count on as Allies in the event the Soviet Union moves against us." Earlier, Marshall told the Senators the risk of war with Russia in the Far East is "more acute by far" than the hazard of Soviet intervention in Western Europe.

The ship will be sailed across the bay to the Sea Scout Base just east of The Arches on Coast highway where it will be based. The 36-foot Rotaleo is powered by Hercules diesel engine which will push it along at about 13 knots. Sleeping quarters are provided for 13 men and the cabin includes a small, compact kitchen and lavatory. Six Sea Scouts of Ship 280 will stand guard on the boat tonight and pump bilges. The bilge-pumping will go on until the seams of the boat swell and become water-tight. Scouts on duty tonight will be Jack Ladig, Jerry Ehloe, Frank Ballard, Jim Mellwain, Robert Owston and Carl Pettit. But is also the nations whom we would desperately need to count on as Allies in the event the Soviet Union moves against us." Earlier, Marshall told the Senators the risk of war with Russia in the Far East is "more acute by far" than the hazard of Soviet intervention in Western Europe. Study Abandoning Street, Save City Improvement Cost In an effort to save the city the expense of improving what eventually would be a street little used by the general public, business firms in the industrial area of E. Santa Ana st. are studying the possibility of having the city abandon the right-of-way through S. Kroeger st. and an alley between Kroeger and S. Atchison. It was pointed out that the area is now an industrial zone and that firms located there can be served by existing facilities. The buildings and ownership of the adjoining land precludes the necessity of the city improving the streets, it was pointed out. One firm, however, Mutual Citrus Products Co., has written the City Planning Commission a letter stating it would be opposed to such a move if a request is made for closing the street and alley. Kwikset Locks, Inc., the largest land holder in the area says it would have no objection to the city abandoning the expense of laying out and improving the street and alley in the manufacturing zone. None of the property owners on Kroeger has been contacted. Kwikset is the only owner south of Santa Ana st.
