VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEM Assemblymen Add $1,700,000 to Bursting Budget SACRAMENTO (UP)—The Assembly agreed today to boost the billion dollar state budget by another $1,700,000 for an augmented state armory program. The vote, once deadlocked at 34-34, was 38 to 36. The amendment by Assemblyman Richard H. McCollister (R-Mill Valley) provides $2,516,000 to build 13 armories, already listed in the budget and four more when federal matching funds become available. The action pushed the total of the 1952-53 budget to nearly $1,205,000,000—or 17 million more than proposed originally by Governor Warren. The Assembly budget committee increased the bill by 15 million last week. The Assembly rejected, 41 to 20, a demand to halt the transfer of $87,879,271 from the general fund to the capital outlay (building) and savings funds.

The story of the chase to catch Gonzales as he sped from the scene of the accident was told this morning by Berl Clancy, shop foreman at Cone Bros. Chevrolet agency, who was riding in the pickup piloted by Donald Barker, also of Cone Bros., that chased the hit-run car, but finally lost it. The description of the car provided by Clancy and Barker, plus the first three numbers of its license plate were a "big help, which we appreciated" in finding the car, according to Police Chief Mark Stephenson. "We were headed north on Citron st. when we saw a 1936 sedan hit a pedestrian at its intersection with Broadway," Clancy related. "We couldn't go through the crossing because the injured man was in the way, so we turned around and went to Santa Ana st. where we headed toward West st., hoping to catch the other car." "We picked him up on West, followed him to Manchester and then onto Walnut to Broadway. From Broadway he turned into Cherry st. and then into an alley, where we lost him." According to Clancy, Hanson Citrus Market Sunkist Growers, Inc., reported today all auction markets California oranges were higher in spots.

Arkansas Begins Burials, Building LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —The living worked grimly at burying and rebuilding today in six tornado-torn, flood-afflicted southern states in which 233 died and 1100 were hurt. In small, partly-wrecked churches throughout the region yesterday half-dazed people clustered for funeral services — sometimes for whole families. The normal Sabbath still of small towns was broken often by the raucous chugging of bulldozers laboring at the debris, the rattle of trucks and the clumping of boards being piled. Survivors of the disastrous weekend picked at what was left of their homes searching for something salvageable, often under the idle gaze of hundreds of sightseers who jammed the stricken areas. At last county and it was at best incomplete and often times inaccurate, the death toll stood at Arkansas, 13; Tennessee, 64; Mississippi, 11; Kentucky, 8; Missouri, 16, and Alabama, 5. Arkansas alone reported 711 injured and 1452 families, thousands homeless, affected by the terrible winds. In hospitals doctors and nurses eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep, worked to near exhaustion to aid the injured. Hospital capacity was strained to the breaking point. Arkansas' Gov. Sid McMath appealed directly to President Truman for funds to help the state rehabilitate itself.

Eisenhower Disavows ‘The Left;’ Says U.S. Can Make Reforms Without Socialism WASHINGTON UP—It is Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s opinion that “in some things . . we have drifted too far to the so-called left.” This and other views held by the five-star general were set forth today in an “off the record” interview published by U.S. News & World Report. The magazine printed questions and answers in the 1950 interview and accompanied them with a letter from Eisenhower, dated March 14, in which he indicated he had reviewed the material recently and approved its publication. Eisenhower said the drift has been shown “particularly in our emphasis on legislation as a panacea.” And he added: “America is not the kind of to do that within the framework of American traditions and principles.” At another point, Eisenhower said that he believes the key to being a successful president lies in the ability to select and handle men. His March 14 letter was written after he had swept the New Hampshire presidential primary but before he got 106,000 write-in votes in the Minnesota primary last week.

Eisenhower said the drift has been shown "particularly in our emphasis on legislation as a panacea." And, he added: "America is not the kind of country that needs socialism. We can achieve whatever reforms we need without such a radical change in our own economic setup. "There are people in this country, of course, who want to go clear over to the left. I just don't agree that America's future lies in that direction." He was then asked: "Do you think there is 'middle way' that is not too far over in the right and is not certainly in the direction of the left?" Eisenhower said that depends on the definition of "middle way" and added that "in a general way" he would agree that the proper way is to select good ideas, no matter from which side they come. "I think," he said, "that we've got to begin to work together in America and to diminish our frictions and our dissension. I think there is a way for all of us—labor and management and farmers— More Civilian Production OK'd WASHINGTON (AP)—The government today authorized major increases in production of passenger cars, washing machines and other consumer goods after July 1. The Defense Production Administration said the increases are being made possible by a slight decline in allotment of metals to the military.

Jittery Presidential Candidates Anxiously Wait Wisconsin Primary MILWAUKEE (UP) — Wisconsin, they say, is the "grave yard of candidates," and three Republican presidential aspirants are whistling hard today as the fateful hour approaches for another primary election. The people speak a week from tomorrow, April 1. Warren Off Again To Wisconsin To Campaign SACRAMENTO (UP)—Governor Warren will be off to Wisconsin again Wednesday to campaign in the Badger state's April 1 presidential primary election. He returned last night from his third trip there. Warren hopes to remain until the day before the election and to As of today, most of the political analysts believe Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio has the inside track and is coming fast in the race for the state's 30 GOP convention delegates. They are not, however, ruling out the amiable, silverblonde governor of California, Earl Warren, who is collecting friends here faster than an expert prune picker could fill a basket in his native state. Harold Stassen, ex-governor of Minnesota, is the third major Republican candidate. He is considered, at best, a very long shot. And over the whole Republican section of the political pattern, in this last week, hangs the long shadow of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. In a very real way, Eisenhower, the man who isn't here, can be considered a decisive factor in the destinies of the other GOP campaigns. Judging from the numbers of people you meet, in campaigning around, who say they "like Ike," the general seems to be immensely To Campaign SACRAMENTO (UP)—Governor Warren will be off to Wisconsin again Wednesday to campaign in the Badger state's April 1 presidential primary election. He returned last night from his third trip there. Warren hopes to remain until the day before the election and to cover southeast and south central parts of Wisconsin, and the populous Milwaukee area. He already has stumped northern Wisconsin. Warren's schedule calls for an 8:45 a.m. (PST) departure from San Francisco by United Airlines, Wednesday, arriving in Chicago at 5:30 p.m. (CST). He plans to go by chartered plane to an evening speech at Janesville, and to appear at Beloit, Delavan, Elkhorn and White Water the following day. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Warren intends to spend in the Milwaukee area. His office said he might remain on Monday, the day before the primary. But this depends upon the legislative situation here. The California legislature may adjourn that day. Richard McKinney, Governor Warren's secretary, is the only person so far named as a member of the party.
