Looking on are, from left: Optimists Tom Yellis, J. W. "Steve Stephens, Harwood Larson and Bob Hutchinson. The proclamation follows: (Gazette photo by Robertson) Judge John Shea Given More Space Additional space for expanding needs of Anaheim justice court will be provided by the county supervisors until a new justice court building is completed in Anaheim, it was disclosed today. At the request of Justice John Shea, the supervisors decided to lease two more rooms in the Anaheim Masonic temple, move Constable Haskell Kelley's office into the new quarters, and let Justice Shea have the constable's present space. At the same time, the board took under advisement Justice Shea's request that a shortage of $112 in funds of the court, as disclosed by a grand jury audit, be "forgiven." Shea said that overcrowded conditions in the court undoubtedly were responsible for the clerical errors resulting in the shortages, which concerned fines levied for which no receipts were shown. The errors all occurred from October to January, before Shea revamped his offices to separate the clerk's desk from the public, he explained. He pointed out that the amount represents a tenth of one per cent of money handled during the four years he has been on the bench of the court. The supervisors approved a proposal to increase the court's clerical staff, because of the heavy volume of business it handles. Kiwanis District To Install Lt. Gov. F.

PEARSON, Mayor County Teachers' Institute Hears Prominent Journalism Except for Japan, victory in Asia, after World War II, was lost to the U.S.S.R. when the United States withdrew troops from that part of the world in 1948-49, as part of Louis Johnson's save-money program, allowing communist forces to move into many areas and take over, according to the principal morning speaker at Orange County Teachers' Institute, last Friday, held in the Fullerton Union high school auditorium. Speaker was Frederic Marquardt whose analytical training as reporter and extensive residence in Asia give him wide experience with Oriental affairs. Born in the Philippines of American teacher parents, attached to General MacArthur's staff during the war, and with 13 years of journalistic activity, at present with the Phoenix Gazette, Marquardt declared that our real reason for entering World War II was to resist threat of domination of Asia by one nation—Japan. Too soon afterwards, however, we failed to realize the threat of a three-day threat. Public Supports Education Other morning speakers at institute included Dr. Roy Simpson, superintendent of Public Instruction for the State California, who urged that teachers and administrators keep public informed of construct influences of schools on youth day. He noted existence of occasional influences working against public instruction, but declared that individual voices of unwanted criticism do not reflect attitude of the public at large.

KEY WEST (UP) — President Truman and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain are going to meet in Washington in January. The meeting was announced at a news conference yesterday by presidential secretary Joseph Short with a casualness associated with the Truman administration's handling of important events. Short was telling reporters at a news conference of how the president got up early Sunday and walked outside the Naval Submarine station where he has his quarters, and of how he swam and sunbathed at the Naval Submarine station. Suddenly, a reporter asked about a story, by John M. High-tower of the Associated Press, that Churchill is expected to visit Washington early in January for talks with the president. "Quite probably," the prime minister will be in Washington some time in January," Short said. There was no indication whatsoever that the conference, certain to be delayed until after Mr. Truman has submitted his "state of the union," budget and economic messages to Congress, will involve either the French or the (Continued on Page 5)
