Officials Unite Against 200-Foot Setback Provision in County Areas Requests from the cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana for elimination of the 200-foot setback line for the building code in rural areas, were taken under advisement by the county supervisors late yesterday following a hearing in which the cities received some support from the Orange County Farm Bureau and others. Regulation for inspection exemption for residences and other buildings set more than 200 feet from roads in unincorporated territory were under fire from Secretary Earnest Moeller of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, among others. Francis X. Shoen, Paularina property owner, declared that the code should apply only to questions of health and safety, and there should be no other restriction on buildings. Such restrictions are properly a matter of deed restrictions only, and the county has no constitutional right to regulate except for health and safety. Shoen said. Shoen has dealt extensively in the business of moving house onto his property along Newport blvd, and northeast of Anaheim. Land Bank Marks $300 Million In Farm Loans About to celebrate its 35th anniversary—April 21 to 23 at Berkeley—the Federal Land Bank has just passed the $300,000,000 mark in loans to California farm owners. It was reported today by R. M. Webster, secretary-treasurer of the Orange county National Farm Loan association. Webster said that the entire board of directors of the local association will attend the celebration at Berkeley, together with officers and directors of the 53 farm loan associations in the state. Howard L. Budlong of Placentia is president of the Orange county association; W. Harold Girton of Anaheim is vice-president; B. J. Foss of Yorba Linda, Raymond Marsile of Santa Ana, and E. Ray Moore of Huntington Beach are directors. Webster will accompany them to the Berkeley observance. The Federal Land Bank, organized in 1917 for the purpose of stabilizing the farm loan field, has made approximately 55,500 loans in the state, Webster said. With a net worth of nearly $21,000,000 and almost $69,000,000 in outstanding loans, the bank is owned wholly by the 53 National Farm Loan associations, of which 12,740 farmers are members. Regulation for inspection exemption for residences and other buildings set more than 200 feet from roads in unincorporated territory were under fire from Secretary Earnest Moeller of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, among others. Moeller told the supervisors that the 200-foot setback should be wiped out and the building code should apply equally to "all people in all places." One area, which Anaheim plans to annex, is being built up into a shack town by reason of its exemption from code standards. Moeller said. Secretary C. J. Marks of the Farm Bureau presented that organization's position as favoring elimination of the 200-foot setback, except for accessory buildings, which he said still should be free of inspection. W. J. Dolan, Anaheim, who deals in inexpensive houses moved onto tracts, said that "hundreds of people buy movable houses" from him, because they can't afford $10,000 homes. It would work a hardship upon them to eliminate the setback regulation.

Party Leaders Proud of Tieup With Communists LOS ANGELES (UP)—An attorney for three of the 15 California communist party leaders on trial for conspiracy told the jury in an opening argument today: "These defendants will tell you from the witness stand that they are proud of their membership in the communist party." Attorney A. L. Wirin, representing Rose Chernin Kusnitz, Frank Spector, and Al Richmond, reminded the jury that the charge brought by the government is "conspiracy to advocate overthrow of the government," and not conspiracy to overthrow or commit acts of violence. "These defendants deny the charge," said Wirin. "But their affiliation with the communist party these defendants do not deny. Wirin also made the point that political doctrine is not an issue in this case. Wirin denied the prosecution's allegation that the defendants did not function in the usual practices."

He said in a statement that the king played his part in world affairs "nobly" and with full understanding of his responsibilities.

The House of Representatives adjourned out of respect to the king after adopting a resolution asking the president to convene its sorrow to Great Britain.
