Schools Invite Parents to Inspect Books During Public Schools Week School books used in the Anaheim elementary schools will be spread out for the inspection of the community next week, according to Paul Cook, superintendent of schools. All the books used in the school system will be on display in the windows of the SQR store beginning Monday, while duplicate sets of the books will be available at all public schools for anyone interested in seeing them or reading them. The books are being exhibited as part of Public Schools Week. Mr. Cook said "we are extremely anxious for parents to know what we are doing in the schools, and we want them to see the materials and books we use." If, after reading a book, a parent has a question about it, we want to discuss it with the parent. All of us want good books in the schools in Anaheim which will prepare our youngsters to live and work as good Americans—and we want people to have confidence in our textbooks." Next week the youngsters in the schools will take a different text book home every afternoon for the parents to read and study. At the same time the superintendent of schools will invite the parents to express their comments and reactions to the books.

New trial of the murder charge against Julio Aparicio, 59, of Atwood, who was once convicted of killing his friend, Santana Acosta, 57, will be set by Superior Judge Kenneth E. Morrison next Tuesday. Judge Morrison yesterday continued the matter for a week so that an interpreter can be obtained to substitute for Charles Carrillo, official court interpreter. Aparicio, claiming that Carrillo is an enemy in league with those attempting to obtain his property, has refused to communicate with Carrillo. The supreme court ordered the case returned to Orange county for retrial after a jury had found Aparicio guilty of the murder and also legally sane. The high court ruled that the sanity issue should have been decided before the murder charge was tried. Aparicio, in a previous assault case, had been found to be insane and was committed to a state institution, where he was released soon afterward as sane.

A powerful Senate drive to force him to cancel the seizure order fell just short of the two-thirds majority vote it required yesterday. But its Republican backers led by Sen. Knowland of California redoubled their cries of “dictator” and cast about for other devices. Actually 47 Senators, 11 of them Democrats, voted for the move, and only 29 voted against it. Not a Republican voted “No.” A switch of four votes would have provided the two-thirds margin needed to suspend Senate rules and permit action on Knowland’s proposal to forbid the use of any federal funds in the seizure. The Senate already had voted Monday, 44 to 31, to ban the use of any money in a specific appropriation bill to carry out the order, but its backers said this was only a gesture.

Tenney continued his vigorous attacks upon communism and its supporters in his after-dinner address. (Photo by Swank) Tenney Warns of Creeping Commie Influence at Assoc. Farmer Meet State Senator Jack B. Tenney from Los Angeles county, now a candidate for Congress, warned a dinner audience of Associated Farmers and their guests at Orange Legion Hall last night that communism is creeping into government and also into the schools, in alarming fashion. Senator Tenney, who headed the State legislature's committee investigating subversive activities, described an incident on the UCLA campus where he debated communism with former Attorney General Robert Kenney. Sen. Tenney during the debate, read the communist oath. He said that from 2000 to 2500 of the approximately 3000 students in the audience rose and cheered the communist oath. Orange county high schools, with those elsewhere in the state, are teaching from textbooks that indoctrinate the pupils with communism, said Sen. Tenney, who urged that school authorities investigate their own textbooks: Teachers are, he said, using them without realizing the danger of the contents of the books. Tenney said he had no objection to discussion of communism in schools, but he does condemn indoctrination. The speaker paid tribute to the work of Orange county's senator, Clyde Watson of Omaha. RICHARD (Dick) GAY (Gets Scholarship) Local Bank Man Eisenhower Forces Score Pa. Triumph By The Associated Press Eisenhower-for-president leaders staked a claim today to the nation's share of Republican presidential nominating votes in New York and Pennsylvania, where the general scored lopsided election victories yesterday. In the Pennsylvania popularity poll, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower drew 840,638 votes in 8282 of 1221 precincts. This compared with 170,568 write-ins for Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio and 119,875 ballot votes for former Gov. Hard Stassen of Minnesota. In the race for 60 Pennsylvania district delegates, Taft and Eisenhower slates collided over eight votes from the Pittsburgh area. Eisenhower forces led 6 to 2. Taft's name was not on the ballot—He kept it off and urged his supporters not to write it—and his backer called the results meaningless." But Eisenhower leaders hoped this showing, plus 712 votes the general drew among Democrats, might bring the state's 70 votes his way at the GOP nominating convention July. Sen. Estes Kefauves of Tennessee got the bulk of the write-ins in the Pennsylvania popularity poll—81,442 from 7839 of the 8421 precincts. President Truman was bond with 21,358, followed by Eisenhower with 17,712.
