5 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Review of County, State Highway Program Indicates Rapid Pace By GEORGE E. HART County and state road building in Orange county was in high gear during 1951, and shows no sign of slackening speed during 1952, a review of the highway program indicates. Always pressed to keep pace with increasing traffic, both state and county were engaged in developing important new arterials during the year. Two major projects on the county program, started in 1951, were the Wright-Brookhurst widening and rebuilding, and the new Orangethorpe ave., bridge across Coyote creek. The Wright-Brookhurst is freeway type, divided highway, to extend ultimately from Santa Ana freeway to the coast, nearly 16 miles. Now under contract to Sully Miller Co., of Orange is the link from Santa Ana freeway to Winfersburg road, 10 miles, which is half completed. The cost is $260,000, 54 per cent being paid by the federal government as this is a federal-aid secondary highway. The $180,000 four-lane concrete bridge across Coyote creek is 65 per cent completed. Its cost is shared equally by Orange and Los Angeles counties, since it is on the county line. E and J Corporation, Beverly Hills, has the contract. Now under construction and 70 per cent completed in the new 10 miles of streets at Doheny Palisades, under an assessment district plan, and an undetermined mileage in other subdivision streets, according to Road Commissioner Harold Sprenger. Plans for 1952 Commissioner Sprenger disclosed that 1952 plans call for No. 1 priority for the Bristol-Palisades extension from Edinger road, Santa Ana, across Newport blvd., to MacArthur blvd., a $200,000 federal aid (54 per cent) project, the contract to be let about March 1. No. 2 priority goes to KateL road improvement between Highway 39 and Los Alamitos blvd., another federal-aid job expected to cost $150,000. The anticipated remaining $60,000 of federal funds and county matching funds would be applied to the No. 3 priority project, Pomona st.-Superior ave., improvement, extending from the Bristol-Palisades extension to the Coast highway at Balboa blvd., junction, West Newport. Also proposed for 1952 is the reconstruction of various streets in Costa Mesa, where sewer and water installations are under way. State Projects Prominent in state highway plans for Orange county in 1952 is the Sepulveda blvd., extension from Long Beach through Orange county, to join Highway 101 in the vicinity of El Toro. is a federal-aid secondary highway.

A 28-mile route starting at the west county line, north of Garden Grove blvd., and MacArthur blvd., a short distance south of their junction with South Main st. A start is now being made on fixing the exact route. In exchange for the 28 miles of new state highway, the county will take over 28 miles of state highways, including Bolsa ave., TRIMMED AT THE TRACK — With opening of racing season at Tropical Park Miami, Fla., many entries are taken to the track barber to get rid of their winter coats.

Three other important state projects are on the 1952 schedule. Plans are ready and contract soon will be let for widening Newport blvd., to a four-lane divided highway from Finley ave., Newport Beach, to 20th st., Costa Mesa, including the Costa Mesa business district. This will include a private access road to Hoag Memorial hospital, Presbyterian. Reconstruction of Highway 39 to make a four-lane divided highway all the way from Buena Park From every quarter there pours into Washington indications that small business is gaining increased support in the battle to keep alive free enterprise. Despite every possible delay, and every possible construction, the Small Defense Plants Administration, an agency ordered by Congress, has started functioning, located in the Old Washington Post Blvd., 1337 E Street N.W. C. W. Harder The first major action of the new agency throws into public view a long existent skeleton in the closet. Telford Taylor, head of the Small Defense Plants Administration, calls upon all government procurement agencies to prohibit prime defense contractors to put so-called "set-off" clauses in the subcontracts they in turn award to small firms. The defense program lag rapidly shapes up into a public scandal. Taylor brings into limelight a major cause of the delay. The facts are that in these times said to be fraught with grave national peril, huge corporations receiving most of the prime defense contracts, are using the defense agencies of the United States Government as a common collection agency. These prime contractors have been permitted, in awarding sub-contracts to independent businesses, to provide that before any payment is made on the defense contract, the prime contractor can deduct any amounts Thus, defense contracts being used by some huge corporations to enforce collections past debts that have no condition with defense efforts. The delay in defense protection because of these "set-clauses has been tremendous. The small plant securing a contract usually must get financing to handle the contract. And while a sub-contract defense work is considered adequate collateral for a product loan, banks have understandably shied away from loaning provision funds on sub-contracts to permit the corporation hold the prime contract to hold payments for amounts claim due resulting from past situations on non-defense work. This practice has long been posed by the American Bank Association, as contrary to my purposely "planted" propaganda the nation's independent bank are most anxious to finance such business. The fact that they have done more in this direction than the past decade is due "booby-trap" that big corporations, and jerry-built emergency agencies, often headed by "lice" from these corporate have set up for small business. Between the newly organized Small Defense Plants Administration, and the Senate Sub Business Committee, headed Sen. John Sparkman of Alaba many facts such as this will brought to the public in the future. While much is made of mink coats and freezers, these will become quite petty by comparison. McGrath Status Unchanged After Truman Meeting WASHINGTON (P) — Attorney General J. Howard McGrath said today no change in his status is contemplated. His statement was to reporters questioning him about rumors he might leave President Truman’s cabinet soon. McGrath had just come out of a cabinet meeting at the White House. The session lasted an hour and 35 minutes—one of the longest cabinet meetings in months. Just before the cabinet meeting, McGrath had turned aside with noncommittal answers, questions from reporters as to whether he had offered his resignation. Because of reports that McGrath may step out soon, a reporter put the question to the Attorney General point blank when he arrived at the White House for the cabinet meeting. McGrath: “That question is almost as important as what’s going on.” Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER They be blind leaders of the blind.

These prime contractors have been permitted, in awarding subcontracts to independent businesses, to provide that before any payment is made on the defense contract, the prime contractor can deduct any amounts owed by the small business to the big prime contractor on past civilian production relations. Disclosures such as just my by Taylor involve billions, thousands, noncommittal answers, questions from reporters as to whether he had offered his resignation. Because of reports that McGrath may step out soon, a reporter put the question to the Attorney General point blank when he arrived at the White House for the cabinet meeting. McGrath: "That question is almost as important as what's going to happen in the Democratic convention next summer." Reporter: "It certainly seems to be getting important." Laughing, McGrath agreed. The reporter told him that was "a highly inconclusive answer." McGrath said, "it certainly is." Then he walked into the cabinet meeting. PALM SPRINGS (UP)—The 12th Annual Palm Springs Rodeo will be held Feb. 9 and 10. The sponsoring Palm Spring Mounted Police said today that $1500 in purses will be evenly divided in five events — calf roping, bulldogging, steer riding, bareback riding, and saddle bronc riding. Beets that are mature usually need at least an hour's cooking time. If you use a pressure saucepan, the cooking time will be greatly reduced. Orange juice, orange rind, melted butter or margarine, a little brown suagr, and a dash of salt will combine to make a pleasant-tasting sauce for the beets after they are cooked, peeled, and sliced. Good vegetable plate: Candied sweet potatoes, buttered snap beans, safflower with cheese sauce, and broiled halved tomatoes. Anaheim disaster relief program ...
