Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Switzerland Movies and Lecture To Open New Public Forum Series New series of Thursday evening Fullerton Public Forum programs opens January 3 with Karl Robinson's colored movies and lecture on Switzerland. It was announced yesterday. Held in Fullerton Union high school auditorium, Forum presentations are open to the public free of charge, beginning at 7:30 p.m. "Swiss Journey," title of the opening program, is the pictorial story of travel through an orderly and picturesque mountain land of peace-loving people which stands out in sharp contrast to much of the rest of Europe. Robinson's skill with the camera offers a heart-warming example of progressive democracy, one of the oldest on earth, and how people of diverse extraction—German, French and Italian—live together happily and prosperously as one nation. Mutual tolerance and respect among people of three languages and cultures has been worked out in Switzerland to give the world strongest promise that the house of Europe can one day be put in order. "Swiss Journey" covers the three major language areas and provides typical examples of how most Swiss people live—in small, beautifully picturesque communities anchored to mountain sides or nestled in intervening valleys. Brief coverage is also provided of metropolitan cities such as Basel and Geneva representing German and French language areas respectively. Other points covered by the film include Swiss hydro-electric systems, harnessing power from glaciers and lakes to power plants which serve to electrify railroads and manufacturing; the high Alpine cattle industry; Swiss resort activities with native festivals and cultural events. Ike Backers Waiting for Stassen Talk WASHINGTON (U.S.) — Republican Eisenhower for President backers reportedly are doing some finger-crossing in advance of Harold E. Stassen's scheduled disclosure tonight of the role he plans in the 1952 presidential campaign. GOP supporters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower are understood to feel that what Stassen says in a Philadelphia speech could have a profound effect on the General's chances for top spot on the party ticket. There were these other political developments: 1. Senator Humphrey (D-Minn) described President Truman as "the strongest candidate" the Democrats could come up with next year, and added: "I sincerely hope he runs again." Philadelphia speech could have a profound effect on the General's chances for top spot on the party ticket. There were these other political developments: 1. Senator Humphrey (D-Minn) described President Truman as "the strongest candidate" the Democrats could come up with next year, and added: "I sincerely hope he runs again." 2. The International Association of Machinists (AFL) said its poll of American Labor Union chiefs shows "overwhelming agreement" that Gov. Earl Warren of California "would draw the strongest support from labor voters of any possible Republican presidential nominee in next year's election." Warren is an avowed candidate for the nomination. The machinists said the survey also showed that almost half of the union presidents who replied feel that Senator Douglas of Illinois would draw the strongest labor vote of any possible Democratic presidential nominee—in the event Mr. Truman decides against running. In the labor poll, Eisenhower as a possible presidential nominee was ranged second among Republicans and third among Democrats. Stassen, president of the University of Pennsylvania and former Governor of Minnesota, recently conferred with Eisenhower in Paris. Stassen indicated before the meeting that the talk would be an important factor in his decision whether to seek the Republican presidential nomination again. He bid unsuccessfully for it in 1948. Stassen declined comment on the Paris conversation when he left Eisenhower, who has kept publicly silent on whether he will be a candidate. When he returned to the United States Saturday, Stassen said he would disclose his 1952 plans in tonight's speech. Other points covered by the film include Swiss hydro-electric systems, harnessing power from glaciers and lakes to power plants which serve to electrify railroads and manufacturing; the high Alpine cattle industry; Swiss resort activities with native festivals and colorful costumes; international village where many European war orphans have been resettled. Other programs to follow "Swiss Journey" on January 3 are those of Hjordis K. Parker on "Norway" January 10; Francis Line on "Seven Wonders of the West" January 17; Clifford Kamen on "Italy" January 24; and Amos Burg on "Alaska" January 31. Wild horses originally ranged from the Atlantic coast of North America to the Dakotas and from southern Ontario to southern Mexico. Use of the ultra high frequencies planned for television use would involve adoption of small antenna, about a foot in length. Western Powers Working on Plans for Super-Cabinet LONDON (UP)—The Big Three Western powers are working on plans to set up a sort of super-cabinet to run the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), informed diplomats reported today. Prime Minister Churchill is expected to discuss with President Truman at Washington in early January some definite proposals to widen the scope and power of the 12-nation alliance. Some of the changes under study in the United States, Britain and France would: 1. Turn the London-based council of deputies into a permanent council of ministers who would consider the day-to-day economic military and production problems of the Allies. 2. Bring all NATO agencies presently split between the Three capitals—under one roof Paris next door to General Eisenhower's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe (SAPE). 3. Appoint a civilian secretary general whose powers, prestige and role would match those of Eisenhower.

Bring all NATO agencies presently split between the Three capitals—under one roof Paris next door to General Eisenhower's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe (S.A.P.E). 3. Appoint a civilian secretary general whose powers, prestige and role would match those of Eisenhower. The Allied seem agreed NATOs needs to be given a new look. Now it takes a long time to make a decision made and applied. The projected super-cabinet no way would have supra-national powers. It would be strong enough, however, to act on own when the occasion demanded speed. Each of the Allies would retain the right of veto. All these ideas right now are very tentative. First of all the Big Three will need to agree among themselves about what should be done. Then they will need to sell their recommendations to their smaller partners. All that is expected to take time. Now, for instance, Britain and France are split on where NATO future permanent home should be. France wants it to be in Paris; Britain wants it in London. CHICAGO, Dec. 27—BREAKING THROUGH THE DRIFTS—A Cook county highway snow plow is a deep furrow through long drifts on road near Arlington Heights, Ill., suburb of Chicago, yesterday, as the task of opening secondary roads got under way. Two plowing operations were necessary to clear the drifts that were caused by one of the biggest snowfalls in the Chicago area in 33 years.—(Associated Press Wirephoto) Science Has Way of Telling How All Children Will Be in Teens PHILADELPHIA (AP) — If you know how tall your child be, science has a sure way telling, beginning just before teen years.

Kennan will succeed for Rear Adm. Alan Q. Kirk, request for retirement Presidential Secretary Joseph Short Mr. Truman accepted with tance. The announcement was after the Kremlin orally inscribed the White House that Kirk would be acceptable. Kennan, former State Department counselor and recently of Secretary of State Achievement policy planning staff, is no leave with the Princeton University Institute for advanced studies. He is expected to take the ambassadorship probably April. Short said his nomination be submitted to the Senate confirmation soon after Con reconvenes. There has been indication of opposition to him. Mr. Truman said last year he was under consideration. Science Has Way of Telling How All Children Will Be in Teens PHILADELPHIA (AP) — If you know how tall your child is, science has a sure way telling, beginning just before eleven years. The method was explained to by Dr. Nancy Bayley, Dr. Gordon and Edward Bowes the University of California Institute of Child Welfare. They passed a second-day session of the 18th annual meeting of the American Association for the advancement of science. Scientists reported they X-ray pictures of the joints and wrist and knee. The bone development at these three points, said, tells a child's maturity or than any other available. These connections at joints mature at various rates but never uniformly. The studies with X-ray begin at the age of 8. At about 12, these bones become a quite accurate predictor of the final height of a boy or girl. Science is also on the way to new and better substitutes for the arms, legs and hands of amputees. Experiments are being made with electronics, hydraulics, suction and all the latest devices of engineering to improve substitute limbs. The experiments were explained by Dr. Sidney Fishman, of New York University College of Engineering. The work is done nationally by three teams of scientists, doctors, psychologists and engineers. Teams of amputees, men chosen because of their success in using the common false limbs try the improved arms, legs and hands. If the new ones prove safe they go on a national trial by 100 amputees, usually arranged for by the veterans' administration. If the new limb works for these 100 it is offered to everyone. Dr. Fishman said that the medical man have to find out what muscles and other remnants of limos can do. The psychologists have to encourage amputees in the long training. And the engineers have to give the doctors and psychologists workable substitutes for natural motions which will not be beyond what an amputee can learn. Allies, Reds in Preparation of Letter Exchange TOKYO (AP)—The Allies and the communists took steps today to clear the way for prisoners of war to exchange letters with loved ones at home. U.N. spokesmen said relatives and friends writing Allied prisoners held in North Korean camps should address letters to: APO 100, Care Postmaster, San Francisco. Col. C. C. B. Warden, adjutant general of the Far East command, said letters sent to this address "will be held until permission is given to effect the delivery." That must come from the communists. When the reds give an OK, presumably mail to Allied prisoners will be handled in the same fashion as mail from them—passed from one side to the other over the truce negotiation table at Panmunjom, Korea. The reds delivered 803 letters yesterday. They arrived in Tokyo today and were turned over to U.S. Army Postal authorities. More letters are on the way from the prison camps in North Korea, a communist newsman said at Panmunjom. Wilfred Burchett, communist correspondent for the Paris Ce Soir, said yesterday's letters were all from one camp. He said other bundles were on their way from other prison camps.

Kennan as the new U.S. Ambassador to Russia, almost at the same time denouncing him as a foe of the Soviets. President Truman announced Kansas City last night the section of the 47-year-old career blomat, who is credited with being a principal author of the president's American policy of containment to counter the threat of immunist aggression. Kennan will succeed former Adm. Alan G. Kirk, whose quest for retirement President Secretary Joseph Short said. Truman accepted with reluctance. The announcement was made over the Kremlin orally informing the White House that Kennan did be acceptable. Kennan, former State Department counselor and recently chief Secretary of State Acheson's policy planning staff, is now on leave with the Princeton University Institute for advanced studies. He is expected to take over ambassadorship probably in April. Short said his nomination would submitted to the Senate for confirmation soon after Congress convenes. There has been no indication of opposition to Kennan. Mr. Truman said last month was under consideration. Thomas Kuchel Reports State’s Surplus May Well Exceed $128,000,000 by June SACRAMENTO (AP)—State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel said today the state's surplus "may well exceed $128,000,000" by next June 30. “This figure,” he told a reporter, “might be increased by an additional $25,000,000 to create a potential surplus in excess of $150,000,000.” He said no new taxes or higher taxes will be needed if the legislature is moderate in its spending decisions at the budget session next March. His forecast contrasted sharply with the $13,000,000 surplus anticipated by State Finance Department authorities at the end of the 1951-52 fiscal year. Kuchel, however, noted marked gains in revenues since the new bookkeeping year opened last July 1. He attributed this to both increased cost of consumer goods and increased sales. The controller said he judged from the current rate of sales tax income that this source will exceed the $401,200,000 total for 1950-51. The 3 per cent levy is bringing in revenue at the rate of about a million dollars a day. In addition, Kuchel pointed out receipts from the state personal income and bank-corporation franchise taxes are up more than 50 per cent for the first five months of 1951-52. He said the possibility of a surplus greater than $128,000,000 is based upon calculations by his accountants that: unspent appropriations. For instance, not all of the $12,000,000 set aside for civil defense will be used. That aid to needy aged, blind and children will prove less than expected. Air Force Plane Missing in State RED BLUFF (AP)—Foul weather virtually halted an air search today for eight men in a missing two-engine Air Force plane. The head of the search group, Capt. C. Molder, said at mid-morning that heavy rains and a dense overcast obscured everything from the air and no worthwhile results could be expected. Only one narrow strip could be explored—from 20 miles south of Red Bluff into Sacramento. The Air Force mustered 67 search planes and used the Red Bluff airport as its base. The C-47 plane, with a crew of three and five military hitchhikers aboard, was out of Spokane. It reported over Klamath Falls about 4:15 p.m. PST yesterday. But it didn't report at its next check point, near Red Bluff, which it should have reached around 5 p.m. WASHINGTON (AP)—Secretary of Commerce Sawyer and members of his family have been authorized to buy for $100,000.
