VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim’s FIRST Newspaper ANAHE Officer Says No Serious Juvenile Dope Problem Here Speaking before the Anaheim Optimists last night, Russ Campbell, juvenile narcotic officer of the Orange county Sheriff's office, reassured his listeners that narcotics were not a serious threat among our youth in this locality. Cooperating thoroughly with school authorities, giving lectures on the evils of narcotics have helped greatly to control the widespread upward surge of drug addicts in Orange county as compared to the situation in other parts of the nation. "Today's youth is living as fast as it can," explained Mr. Campbell. "With nothing concrete to look forward to except the fighting of an undeclared war, many of our young folks are frankly looking for a thrill. The three steps to becoming a dope addict usually include alcohol, marijuana and finally heroin. Keeping up with the gang, being one of the crowd has too often proven the downfall of what was meant to be an otherwise innocent experience." Drug addicts are the result of human error. With framed samples of the marijuana weed, along with sealed bottles of "reefers" taken from offenders, the Optimists obtained a good look at the outlawed plant. Bearing an elliptical sawtooth leaf and looking veyr similar to peach foliage, the bright green marijuana has often been cultivated unwittingly by garden lovers. Recently an eight foot marijuana plant was (Continued on Page 8) Mayor Pearson Named to Bank’s Advisory Board Charles A. Pearson, mayor of Anaheim, has accepted an appointment to the Advisory Board of Bank of America's Anaheim branch, according to an announcement made today by O. E. Hanson, branch manager. In his advisory board capacity, Pearson will lend counsel to the local bank officers on matters of AUHS Trustees Re-Hire Faculty Ten Get Tenure All Anaheim Union High school teachers were rehired for the coming year at the meeting night of the board of trustees. Ten teachers received tenure, cording to Superintendent P. Demaree, having served three years on the faculty and being elected for their fourth terms. Faculty salaries were discussed with a representative of the Faculty Salary committee, but no decision was reached. The matter was tabled until the April meeting, although fairly close agreement was reached on salaries, according to Demaree. Resignation of Al Dutzi as chief custodian was accepted and Herbert T. Walsworth, trustee and chief of the board, was elected to Dutzi's position following his resignation from the board. Dutzi said the responsibilities and work of the chief custodian's job were too heavy for him, and asked not instate in a position he merely held in the AUHS board. Cafe Meal Prices Frozen by OPS WASHINGTON (UP)—Restaurant meal prices have been frozen, effective April 7, at their Feb. 3-9 level. And operators must post by April 25 the ceilings on their main food and drink items. The Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) issued the order last night. It said restaurants could change their prices up or down only on OPS orders. These would be based primarily on significant changes in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly wholesale food price index. Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall said he foresaw no general changes in restaurant prices since food costs are "fairly well stabilized." The new regulation replaces an order, in effect about a year, which permitted restaurants to adjust selling prices at any time to match percentage changes in their food costs. Northrop has 750 Workers Members of the Anaheim press were guests yesterday afternoon and evening on a tour of the new Northrop Anaheim plant at 500 E. Orangethorpe ave. and for dinner at Greenbrier restaurant. Advisory Board Charles A. Pearson, mayor of Anaheim, has accepted an appointment to the Advisory Board of Bank of America's Anaheim branch, according to an announcement made today by O. E. Hanson, branch manager. In his advisory board capacity, Pearson will lend counsel to the local bank officers on matters of community interest and progress. "We are certainly pleased to have mayor Pearson on our board," Hanson said. "His counseling, based on his background in public life in Anaheim and Orange county, will be of immense help to us in maintaining and improving banking service in this region." Pearson has been mayor of Anaheim for the past 14 years, and served as city councilman for three years prior to that. In addition to being a prominent businessman in this area, he is known throughout the state, and is a past president of the League of Municipalities for California. The board for the bank's Anaheim branch is one of many such bodies of prominent citizens throughout California who counsel the bank on local improvement of banking services. Mayor Pearson takes his place on a board consisting of S. W. Todd, chairman; Dr. H. A. Johnston, vice chairman; Gilbert U. Kraemer, S. P. Kramer, F. A. Yungbluth, Thomas H. Kuchel, Oscar H. Renner, Peter J. Weisel, Jr., and Leroy E. Lyon. Snow, Summer, Desert Wildflowers All Part of Week-end Weather Outlook LOS ANGELES (UP)—Snow and good skiing in the mountains, summery weather in Los Angeles, wild flowers blooming in the desert— That's the contrasting weather-and-recreation prospect for the week-end. Mountain roads are open and all ski facilities will be operating. Motorists won't even need chains. The Los Angeles area, which had its hottest March 27 since 1893 with an 86 reading, will bearies, according to Demaree. Resignation of Al Dutzi as chief custodian was accepted and Henri T. Walsworth, trustee and clerk of the board, was elected to the Dutzi's position following his resignation from the board. Dutzi said the responsibilities and work of the chief custodian's job were too heavy for him, and asked to instate in a position he formerly held in the AUHS booth store. His request was granted. Support for the proposed junior high school program was given by Dan T. Mackey, Cypress trustee who said that the junior high school bond election should be held as soon as possible. The board voted to employ the firm of Marshall and Stevens, L.A. Angeles, to appraise the Fremont school plant and report at the April 10 meeting. The action was taken in connection with the agreement between the AUHS board of trustees of Anaheim Elementary school district, that the Fremont plant should be praised for sale to the high school district as part of the junior high school program. The board voted to advertise five bids on a new bus for the high school. Sister Henrietta, in charge of Released-Time religious classes for Catholic students, asked the board to release all Catholic high school students for a retreat at St. Boniface church April 4. The resignation of Mrs. Shirley Bayard, girls' physical education instructor, was accepted. Northrop has 750 Workers Members of the Anaheim press were guests yesterday afternoon and evening on a tour of the new Northrop Anaheim plant at 500 E. Orangethorpe ave. and for dinner at Greenbrier restaurant. Northrop General Manager Richard R. Nolan, his assistant, Robert Root, and Todd Fast, Northrop public relations man, were hosts. Guests included Clyde Newman of the Orange County Sun; Leonard Sargent of the Santa Ana Register's Anaheim office, Howard Loudon and John Daniel of the Anaheim Bulletin, and Max Besler and Leonard Kreidt of the Anaheim Gazette. Assembly line operations were inspected in the plant and quantities of machine tools and other equipment installed since the open house were shown and explained by the Northrop men. Nolan revealed that population of the big factory has grown to 750 workers and that it will reach about 1300 or 1400 this year. Operations will remain on a one-shift basis for the rest of the year, but may be expanded to two shifts next year. Workers recruited in the Anaheim area have met Northrop's expectations, Nolan reported, and the company is well satisfied with their high caliber. He said a good percentage of the plant's workers now reside in Anaheim and Fullerton and the near vicinity, and that most of them have been making plans to move here. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Truman, back from Florida feeling "never better in my life," still is keeping mum on whether he feels like running for another term. Proctor Case to Jurors Monday With both prosecution and defense completed, the case of Proctor, 48-year-old boat carpenter of Newport Beach, who was charged with murder following the fatal beating of his common-law wife, Mrs. Dorothy Schindler, 37 will probably reach the jury Monday. The trial was recessed for the week-end by Judge Robert Gardner late yesterday after all testimony was finished. Deputy District Attorney James P. Devine and Defense Counsel Otto A. Jacobs and Robert P. Jacobs are scheduled to take up an argument to the jury Monday morning. Jurors yesterday visited the Proctor apartment, where the woman died. The state accuses Proctor of beating her to death following a quarrel over another man, Henry Goff, at a drinking party in a neighboring apartment the previous evening. Proctor, who was quoted by Newport Beach police as admitting giving Mrs. Schindler the beating, however, said that next morning when he left the apartment she was all right, but when he returned two hours later she was dead or dying, and her face was bruised and bloody.

Five Million Dollar Housing Project Of 450 Homes Underway in Anaheim A considerable portion of the 1100 new homes Anaheim will need between new and 1953 is underway in one project of the Bonded Homes, Inc. The company, headed by President C. Fred Smith, is building approximately 450 single-family residences with a combined valuation in excess of $5,200,000 in Anaheim during the balance of this year. The homes are being built, generally, on the eastern city limits of Anaheim on Placentia ave. A survey taken by the Gazette recently pointed up the need for 1100 homes in the Anaheim area to take care of the expected inflow of employees to man-the new manufacturing plants and the expanding service businesses in this area during 1952. At the present time, developers and private individuals have some 735 homes, including Bonded's 450, under construction or planned for the Anaheim area. Bonded Homes, with main offices in Beverly Hills, has established local headquarters for its housing program at 108 W. Broadway, opposite the postoffice. Smith, heading the activities of the firm, has been a builder of homes in the Southland and other areas for the past 26 years, with a record including the construction of several thousand homes in every price classification. Working in conjunction with Smith will be his general superintendent, John J. Munselle, in charge of all construction and subdivision activities; and J. W. Stephen of Anaheim, serving as sales director. Stephen has been in Anaheim in the escrow business since 1946. L. B. Roquet is handling the sales of homes of two projects now underway on N.

Famous 'Wings Over Jordan' Negro Choir Sings at High School Tonight Radio's famous "Wings Over Jordan" Negro choir, the only vocal group to be invited to tour every theater of the European war during World War II, will give an admission-free performance at Anaheim Union High school auditorium tonight at eight o'clock, sponsored by the Anaheim Association of Christian Churches. They are appearing locally in the course of a nationwide goodwill tour in behalf of the Negro race, and will be entertained for dinner by the Men's club of St. Michael's Episcopal church and lodged overnight in the homes of church people of Anaheim. Organized in Cleveland, Ohio, in the summer of 1937, they have since toured through 45 of the 48 states, and have given concerts to capacity audiences in Carnegie hall and Town hall in New York, and in California's famous Hollywood Bowl. They have been on the Columbia network every Sunday for 12 years, and were personally chosen by the late President Roosevelt to tour the European war theater to sing for American soldiers. "Anaheim considers it a real privilege to welcome these world-renowned singers to our city," states Rev. Frank E. Butterworth of White Temple who made the arrangements for them to come to Anaheim, "and we are confident that a capacity audience will be on hand to show our appreciation of both their music and the loyal and hard-working people whom they represent." $11,000 Fire at Garden Grove Fire damage was estimated at $11,000 today in the area blaze which swept through Bell Milling co. warehouse den Grove early this month.

Publicity Expert Assesses Value Of Housing Drive Anaheim Lions and Chamber of Commerce members, meeting jointly today to consider Anaheim's housing program, were given the assurance of an expert in public relations that they are doing the right things in just about the right way to promote the best interests and growth of this community. George Stiller, of Stiller, Rouse and Associates, Los Angeles public relations consultants, outlined the requisites a modern city must have, or must acquire, to promote more population, a balanced economy and the construction needed to house the additional population. In the first place, Stiller explained, Anaheim has to have high-sped, access to it from other population centers (Santa Ana Freeway places downtown Los Angeles just about 40 minutes to the west); it must have industries (industrial growth is one of Anaheim's biggest bragging points); climate (Anaheim's is much better than that of the San Fernando Valley). WEATHER VARIETY The Weather Man today promised a variety of climate for the weekend, including the possibility of rain Monday or Tuesday. The U. S. Weather Bureau in Los Angeles predicted that the hot spell is about over, although a high of 80 was predicted today, and that the weekend will be cooler, with rain expected again Monday or Tuesday. Snow, with good skiing in winter sports areas, can be expected above the 5000 foot level Sunday or Monday.

Specific goals must be set, Stiller said. To set the goals an action program of research must be instituted. Stiller stated he was amazed at the status of the research work that has been done here by the Chamber and the city government (without the benefit of professional advice).

INDIO (UP)—The Salton Sea, 237.3 feet below sea level, has risen two feet since last October and has forced the relocation of runways and other facilities of the Sandy Beach atomic energy base. The 40-mile-long body of water is causing thousands of dollars' damage to docks, piers and private property, and damage claims of $220,000 have been filed with the Imperial and Coachella Irrigation districts by a beach resort owner and a farmer. Imperial Irrigation district authorities said yesterday that the sea has gained about 583 million tons of water in the last six months. Storms have contributed only a small portion of this, seepage and natural inflow being chiefly responsible. Water authorities say it is impossible to estimate when the rise will stop, but that engineering studies indicate it may continue at the rate of about 15 inches a year and eventually reach a contour of about 220 feet below sea level. (The lower the figure the higher the water level when dealing with figures below sea level.) The Salton Sea, located chiefly in the Imperial and Coachella Valleys, a desert area, originally was considered to have been part of the Gulf of California. In the last few centuries it became successively a dry waste and a watery sink which at times dried up due to evaporation. It was filled in its present form when the Colorado river broke through levees in the Imperial Valley In 1905-06 and flowed into the Salton sink for 18 months. Another Check Of Robinson's Ties Up Case Edward J. Robinson Jr., 19 year By The Associated Press The presidential nomination battle gathered steam today from the heat of angry name calling between candidates. Unrestrained word-feuding shattered the heretofore polite campaign in Nebraska between Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee and Sen. Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma. They are seeking delegates in next Tuesday's Democratic preference race. Kefauver angrily accused Kerr of trying to "smear" him through an advertisement which criticized the Tennessee's voting record in Congress on communist-control legislation. Kerr said Kefauver shows "an utter disregard for the truth." He also accused him of trying to inject a note of religious intolerance into the campaign. The first statement referred to a Kefauver accusation that Kerr supported legislation to aid oil, gas and allied industries in which Kerr has personal interests. The second statement referred to a Kefauver interview. The Tennesseean was asked if he had seen a published report which said Kerr had supported Republican Herbert Hoover against Democrat Al Smith, a Catholic, in the 1928 presidential race. Kefauver said he had read the article and was sure Kerr would want Nebraska voters to know his position in that race. Kerr's Nebraska campaign manager, Bernard J. Doyle, a Catholic, insisted Kerr had supported Smith. He said the rumors about Kerr were "a last minute vicious canard." Kefauver denied he raised the religious issue and said Kerr should himself answer about the 1928 campaign. The Kefauver-Kerr exchange overshadowed the busy campaigning in Nebraska for Republican votes for Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, Harold Stassen and Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Taft and Stassen were targets of verbal blasts on the Republican side. Stassen hurled new charges of "isolationism" at Taft. Another Check Of Robinson's Ties Up Case Edward J. Robinson Jr., 19 year old son of the motion picture actor, was granted one-week's postponement of his Superior Court arraignment in Santa Ana on an Anaheim check charge today, when the District attorney's office filed an amended complaint, adding a second check to the charge. Robinson's attorney, Rexford Eagan, of Beverly Hills asked for a week's time in which to study the amended complaint. He said definitively that Robinson will plead not guilty. The original complaint for which Robinson was held for trial at a preliminary hearing last week, charged him with issuing a worthless check for $139.81 to U. J. Ledger, Anaheim service station attendant, on February 3. Robinson gave the check in payment for two white-wall tires, tubes, and car repairs, when he had tire trouble. He went on to Santa Ana with a male companion and spent the night at the home of friends, Miss Werdandi Volf and her mother, also having breakfast there. He gave Miss Volf a $25 hospitality check, which also "bounced," it was claimed. That check was added today to the other in the amended complaint filed by the district attorney's office. The Kefauver-Kerr exchange overshadowed the busy campaigning in Nebraska for Republican votes for Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, Harold Stassen and Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Taft and Stassen were targets of verbal blasts on the Republican side. Stassen hurled new charges of "isolationism" at Taft. And Stassen himself was accused in Washington by Rep. McCormack of Massachusetts, House Democratic leader, of playing politics and violating decency in criticizing Attorney General McGrath. McCormack said Stassen's New York speech last month suggesting that McGrath had become a millionaire in office "shows how far candidate Stassen will go to make headlines." McGrath said at the time that he thanked Stassen for the compliment. Taft, Stassen and Gov. Earl Warren of California campaigned in Wisconsin today seeking votes in next Tuesday's preference primary there. A New Associated Press survey of 35 Wisconsin newspaper editors found Taft still leading in sentiment but losing ground to Warren in the past week. CHARLES J. CHAPMAN ON CARGO VESSEL Charles J.
