Million Dollar Decreases in Relief Expenditures in California Seen SACRAMTNTO (CNS) — California will get by 1951 for about a million dollars less for relief expenditures than in 1950, according to estimates made by Charles L. Schottland, state director of social welfare. While this is not a vast sum in the light of the millions expended on relief, it nevertheless indicates a trend in the administration of relief activities since the administration of former director Myrtle Williams, who at the time she took over the office was the ex-secretary of Pension Promoter George McLain, of Los Angeles. McLain now is sponsoring a new constitutional amendment to have the state once again take over relief administration. More About... Beating 2135 Oak st., and asked Mrs. Alling to light the oven of the kitchen stove for him. His mother wouldn't let him handle matches, his told her. As she bent over the oven in the Billings home, he started beating her on the head with the hammer. She fell to the floor, but managed to regain her feet and ran into the living room. He dragged her back and beat her again, but she screamed, so he let her get away. She ran to the home of Rev. Conrad G. Park, 2143 Oak st., for refuge. Police Detectives Oman, Johnson and Brown found her there and sent her to the hospital by ambulance. In the Billings home they found blood on the kitchen and living room floors, the bloody hammer by the living room door, a broken wrist watch and a discarded, bloodstained Boy Scout shirt on the bedroom floor. In the kitchen they noted a piece of the kitchen sink had been broken off, apparently by a hammer blow. Schottland says that for the current year, relief expenditures of the state in all categories, which include old age assistance, aid to the blind, aid to needy children, and general relief, will cost the taxpayers approximately $329 million dollars. This says the director represents about one and a half cents for each income dollar in California in 1951, as compared to 1940 expenditures, which he states amounted to almost five cents of each income dollar. Yet the expenditures for relief in 1951 will exceed the 1940 expenditures by about 20 per cent, in comparison to a two and a half fold increase in the total income of the state. The decreases in relief expenditure, according to the statistics of the social welfare department, are not so much in the decrease of the number of people receiving state aid, but in a decrease in the average grant of funds. In November, 1950, recipients of old age security were getting $68.90 per month on the average, while this has dropped to $66.67 for November of last year. Similarly, Officer Bruised in S.A. Street Battle Police Officer Larry Straub Santa Ana had a bruised jaw after some torn clothing, after a street corner brush with three San Ana men yesterday, but the man creants were in jail, charged with resisting arrest. Straub was called to break a fight between Felix V. Orosco 25, 1004 W. Eighth st., who had been invited out of the San Liquor store, 701 W. First st., its owner, Maurice T. Durab when Orosco cursed Durab wife. Durabb wasn't doing so when Straub arrived and started to pull Orosco off him, much to the displeasure of Ted G. Orosco 29, 916 Lincoln, and Vincent Castruita, 1701 W. First. Felix Orosco also was displeased. Past Straub in the jaw. Ted Orosco and Castruita all jumped Straub, Ted shouted "You've got a gun, shoot me! They ripped Straub's jacket! I broke away and tackled Felix Orosco. Then a bystander came to Straub's aid and they rounded up the three battlers, holding them until the "paddy wagon" arrived. SEEK MISSING GIRL Search was being made today for Mary Helen Martinez, 1 Santa Ana girl reported missing by her mother, Mrs. Ruth Martinez, 1807½ W. Third st., Santa Ana. The girl was last seen in company with an 18-year-old youth at a car at Fifth and Artesia street; Santa Ana, police were told. Her destination may have been Yumiko it was said.

In the kitchen they noted a piece of the kitchen sink had been broken off, apparently by a hammer blow. After Mrs. Alling escaped, young Billings had run out the rear door, he told them. Later he decided to give himself up and was on the way to headquarters, he said, when Sgt. Clyde Flower met and arrested him at Third and Main sts., across the street from the police station. Police said Billings was sent to California Junior Republic after molesting a six-year-old girl Oct. 12, 1950. Earlier he had molested an 11-year-old girl Feb. 12, 1950, and a 9-year-old girl May 12, 1950. He was to have reported back to the juvenile institution today. MORE ABOUT...

In November, 1950, recipients of old age security were getting $68.90 per month on the average, while this has dropped to $66.67 for November of last year. Similarly, the needy blind dropped from $82.17 to $81.44 and self-supporting blind from $84.95 to $83.93. On the other hand, the aid to needy children average showed an increase, from $47.51 to an average of $50.10 per month. There was a slight drop in old age assistance recipients in November of this year over the previous month, but an increase from 271,278 in November, 1950 to 274,404 in November, 1951. Needy blind increased from 10,176 to 10,927 and self-supporting blind decreased from 652 to 535. The number of needy children receiving state aid increased from 133,551 to 137,076, according to the figures, but general home relief dropped from 31,152 to 27,240. Meanwhile, there are in various sections of the state investigations and other activities designed to cut still further the amount of relief being paid. These are directed primarily at the aid to needy children program. One of the newest is in San Francisco, where the district attorney has received reports of chiseling, and is under a new law by State Senator Ben F. Hulse, which requires district attorneys to screen requests for such aid. It has always been Schottland's prediction that relief costs will be on the decrease, if the present laws are maintained, and that eventually, old age assistance will disappear entirely, in favor of old age security provided by the federal government. MAN, IN CAR, SCARES SMALL GIRL WALKING Yesterday afternoon an Anheim girl phoned to the police department that a man, Bernie Abert Segura of 327 E. Cypress had stopped his 1939 auto and made remarks to her which frightened her and her companions while they were walking along the sidewalk. Police officer Edward Brawler took Segura to the police station and after a reprimand he was released. MORE ABOUT... Korean Talks (Continued from Page 1) prisoners back — no question asked. In effect they say that anyone who was captured weared a North Korean or Chinese uniform should be returned to the communist side—even if the soldier originally was a South Korean deserter, a South Korean POW who was forced into the red army, or a South Korean civilian forced to become a communist soldier. It is believed here that many communist captives don't want to be returned to the red side—and that is what the red leaders are afraid of. They probably fear that the Allies could make broopaganda or the fagt that great numbers of their soldiers choose to remain in South Korea. If You Drive!
