In background is St. Mark's Cathedral and White Crane Becoming Extinct At Alarming Rate in Country WASHINGTON (AP) — If you need something to worry about today, you might wring your hands over the sad plight of the Garoo. The Garoo is a large, in fact a very large, white bird. He stands almost five feet tall and has a wing spread of more than seven feet. He's also known as the Because of the warfare against them, Garoos have become suspicious and will have nothing to do with people. But they continue to die out.

Stanton Man (Continued from Page 1) was sent to the California Cordage Co. at Stanton in Orange county for conversion to a cheenille tug-making machine.

The Garoo is a large, in fact a very large, white bird. He stands almost five feet tall and has a wing spread of more than seven feet. He's also known as the White Crane, the Great White Crane and the Whooping Crane. It's a fact that he does whoop, and rather alarmingly. His problem is that he's about to become extinct. "There aren't many of them left and it looks as if they're going to die out entirely," said Dr. Herber Friendmann, curator of birds at the Smithsonian institution. Friendmann comes into the picture because his department is about to put one of the last of the Garoos on exhibition, as soon as the taxidermists gets through with it. This particular Garoo was named Howard. He died about two weeks ago, of a gunshot wound plus a slight case of food poisoning, at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge on the Texas Gulf coast. Until Howard went hence, only 32 Garoos had been counted at Aransas. And, so far as the experts know, that's all the Garoos there were left. There were untold thousands of them in the days of the early settlers. The air used to be black with them on their migrations to and from Canada. The Garoos got in trouble with the Indians, and later the white settlers by stealing corn. Naturally, the corn-growers shot them. The practice caught on and people have been shooting Garoos ever since, in spite of the best efforts of bird-watchers and others to prevent it. "Anything so large and so spectacular, and that fled so far, is bound to attract the hunter's attention," Dr. Friendmann told a reporter regretfully. Because of the warfare against them, Garoos have become suspicious and will have nothing to do with people. But they continue to die out. They lay only two eggs at a time and that is no way for a shrinking species to multiply. MORE ABOUT Steele Continued from Page 1) $125,000 to put the first well into production. Leasing in the city limits of Anaheim has progressed at a pace satisfactory to the company. "Most people are very co-operative and interested," one official of the company pointed out. Anaheim wants Control "We find folks are anxious to make sure oil is controlled in Anaheim and that speculators do not come in on the heels of an oil discovery and try to break the ordinance." (In its editorial columns the Gazette has pointed out that speculators can be curbed if land owners in Anaheim sign leases with oil companies which have been screened by the City Council and which are pledged to follow the city ordinance. This, in effect, would crowd out any fly-by-nighters who might try to break the city ordinance by attempting to drill wells in areas imminent to the public good.) In reply to several inquiries, Steele Petroleum officials point out that they are not selling stock in their company. "We are in the business of producing oil—and we will risk only our own money for exploration, nobody else's," they state.

MORE ABOUT Jaycee Continued from Page 1) pletely discontinued. The idea arose when a devoted associate member of Jaycee offered to sell the membership himself and be the first to become a sustaining member. General agreement was reached that the principle of the idea was not conducive to the best interests of Jaycee, since it would tend to place too much influence in the hands of a small group of men who cannot, for reasons of age, become regular, active, voting members. It was suggested that action to rescind the sustaining memberships be inaugurated at the forthcoming meeting of the State board of directors in Stockton. have been shooting Garoos ever since, in spite of the best efforts of bird-watchers and others to prevent it.

INDECENT PHONE CALLS A man calling himself "Ted" or "Ted Chandler" made three phone calls yesterday that were reported to the police by receivers of the calls. The man, evidently picking names at random from the telephone book, made all the calls to women who had never heard of him before. They complained of him using indecent and lewd language.

These associates said Mr. Truman did not request yesterday's resignation of Charles Oliphant as chief counsel to the Internal Revenue Bureau, but that he knew that the resignation was coming. Because Oliphant announced his resignation before it reached the White House, there will be no formal letter of acceptance from the president announced here. This is a White House rule. MORE ABOUT...
