Taking Garrison's car, he drove to Anaheim and committed the robbery of the Penney store. California Highway Patrol officers, who apprehended him, said he had the $3500 from the store in his possession. Also, that he was armed.

"The education of our youth is of paramount importance to all of us. We realize as never before that only through the medium of education may we be properly fitted to conduct the affairs of the nation as well as our own community. "Public schools guide our youth in the proper approach to adult problems. In them is born civic pride and the desire to help others. Major problems are settled wisely because of guidance in the solution of example problems presented in the class room. "It is hoped that many will avail themselves of the opportunity to talk with members of the faculty at Anaheim Union High school and to discuss with them the subjects that taught and the modern methods used in education."

Eisenhower estimated 220 delegates hard behind his own 239, Robert Taft said today he has can win the majority 60 GOP delegates at stake week ahead. During presidential pre-primaries and conventions will select delegates in Colorado, Utah, Deleware, Arizona and Arkansas, Taft said: "We face a fight everywhere but it looks pretty good." But Eisenhower's campaign managers were optimistic too. They predicted yesterday, in the wake of the general's victories in New York and Pennsylvania, that he will be nominated on the first ballot at the July national convention. Latest reports from New York, where Republicans last Tuesday chose 90 of the state's 96 delegates to the Chicago convention, indicated that 81 were for Eisenhower, nine for Taft. But Taft disputed this, claiming 17. New York's state GOP committee will select six delegates-at-large May 7. All of these are expected to be for Eisenhower since Gov. Thomas E. Dewey is an Eisenhower man—and he's New York's Mr. Republican. MRS.

Roger Tubby, assistant dental press secretary, reporters nearly three hours Truman's news conference ment to give them a clairty. Tubby said Truman did a note to Stalin that Russian evacuation, and president had been spayed layman's language. Tubby added: "On March 6, 1946, a sent from the U.S. gave our position perfectly respect to the situation." This note was published 7. As you probably read Russians withdrew their from Iran in May, 1946. CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY ZETTE The Weather S. Calif.—Considerable cloudiness Friday with slightly cooler afternoon. Occasional showers north and west portions tonight and Friday. Urged to Make the Counted in Real Census plained. "Gasoline taxes and 'in lieu' taxes which are refunded to the cities by the state are apportioned on the basis of population. "In Anaheim, the per capita value of a counted citizen as far as these tax refunds are concerned is $6.55. "So," he emphasized, "the counting of each individual citizen is important to the city because more money is made available for civic improvements, road work and other projects. "By the same token," he pointed out, "it is important to the individual to be counted, since the $6.55 apportioned to the city on his account means paying just that much less out of private pockets in the form of city taxes for city government." LEWIS EXPLAINED that any residents who think they have been missed in the census should obtain a "Missed Persons" form from either the Anaheim City JACKSON, Mich.—SIGN RIOT-ENDING AGREEMENT—Earl Ward, one of the leaders in mutiny at Southern Michigan prison, signs agreement ending the five-day riot in cell block 15 pending appearance of their 11 demands in today's newspapers. Convicts shown at ground level window of the cell block are (left to right): Russell Jarboe, Tony Mazzone, Ward and James Breeze—(Associated Press Wirephoto) Michigan Prison Rioters Surrender, Leave Cellblock LEWIS EXPLAINED that any residents who think they have been missed in the census should obtain a "Missed Persons" form from either the Anaheim City Clerk or from the census representative in the council chamber of City hall. This form is to be filled out (spaces are provided in which to list name, relationship to the house, sex, color or race and age), and mail it to the following address: Special Census Supervisor, Bureau of the Census, Care of City Clerk, City Hall, Anaheim, Calif. Persons who were living in Anaheim on April 17, 1952, are eligible to be counted in this census. CENSUS TAKERS revealed today that some citizens have taken belligerent exception to being counted, feeling that it was merely a move to bolster civic pride by pointing out the phenomenal growth of the city during the past two years. Others felt that it was just another phase in the friendly rivalry between Anaheim and Fullerton—that Anaheim wants to publicize the fact of its comparatively swift growth. "These alleged reasons for the census do not approach anywhere near the truth," Lewis pointed out. "There is a very good, practical, monetary reason for the census which benefits both the city and the private citizen." One census taker related his difficulties with one hotel-dwelling citizen who had apparently recently come from a sojourn in jail. The hotel manager said the tenant took one look at the Census Bureau form, threw his clothes into a suitcase and took off with the following explanation: "It's the police trying to find out where I am and I'm not going to have anything to do with them." He hasn't been seen since Michigan Prison Rioters Surrender, Leave Cellblock JACKSON, Mich. (AP)—Warden Julian N. Frisble told a press conference today that rebel convicts at Southern Michigan State Prison surrendered and left their fortress cellblock at 1 p.m. (PST) today. The rioting convicts, with eight guards as hostages, have been barricaded within isolation cellblock 15 since Sunday night. Quick removal of the guard hostages still inside cellblock 15 was believed the prime motive for stepped-up efforts to end the mutiny. Convocation Meets At St. Michael's Clergymen and lay delegates to the Convocation of Long Beach will assemble at 4:30 p.m. today in the parish hall of St. Michael's Episcopal church for a semi-annual session. The 4:30 evening prayer meeting will be followed by reports from the vicars of 12 mission parishes in the convocation, which reaches from San Clemente to Hermosa Beach and inland to Whittier. Mrs. Frank Beggs will present the Women's Auxiliary report. At 6:30 the convocation will adjourn to Anaheim Elks club for dinner, following which the dean's report will be delivered by the Rev. John K. Saville, local rector. Also to be heard are reports from six parishes whose rectors have had the longest incumbency, one of whom is the Rev. Saville. At 8:30, the Rt. Rev. Donald J. Campbell, suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles will speak on the subject "Qualities that Build a Christian Church." Today one guard was released in a state of nervous collapse. Two more were reported sick and medicine for them was sent into the cellblock. When the guard was taken out, a tough young convict bolted the building behind him and surrendered. He told officials the convicts were battling among themselves inside—fighting with their fists and kicking each other. Keaneth Mayre, 28, also told prison officials of a verbal battle over leadership of the insurrection still going on. Between the convicts' two top officers—Earl Ward and "Crazy Jack" Hyatt. But he said last night's report of a major clash between the two was "just a publicity gag" and Ward still held the upper hand. SHOWERS PREDICTED LOS ANGELES (T)—The storm in prospect for north-ern and central California to night will bring occasional showers in Southern California fornia through Friday, the Weather Bureau said today. It also came up with a prediction of some thundershowers and some high winds for the mountains and deserts. Publishers Dispute Truman in Hot Water – Again – Over Statement on Iran ‘Ultimatum’ WASHINGTON (AP) — President Truman said today he sent an ultimatum to Premier Stalin and forced Russian troops out of Iran in 1946, but the White House said later the president was using the term ultimatum in a “non-technical, layman sense.” Roger Tubby, assistant presidential press secretary, called in reporters nearly three hours after Truman’s news conference statement to give them a clarification. Tubby said Truman did not send a note to Stalin that led to the Russian evacuation, and that the president had been speaking in layman’s language. Tubby added: “On March 6, 1946, a note was sent from the U. S. government to the Soviet government making our position perfectly plain with respect to the situation in Iran. This note was published on March 7. As you probably recall, the Russians withdrew their troops from Iran in May, 1946.” Tubby was a press officer in the State Department before he was attached to the White House. There appeared to be reasons for reporters to infer that the State Department had been disturbed by the president’s remarks. To diplomats, the term “ultimatum is the last word. It means telling someone your position in “or-else-go-to-war” fashion. The president had told reporters he was ready to back up his ultimatum with American troops and ships. Truman lifted a veil of secrecy to give his versions of this and other international incidents in a news conference discussion in which he emphasized: (1) The gravity of the world emergency of recent years. (2) The great inherent powers he feels he has as president to deal with it, and (3) The necessity for the United States to have strong armed forces. NEW YORK (AP) — The American Newspaper Publishers association today challenged any concept that a president of the United States has an “inherent power” to seize the nation’s press or radio. With only four dissenting votes among the 500 publishers attending the ANPA’s annual meeting, a resolution on the seizure issue was adopted. The resolution specifically condemned President Truman’s recent seizure of the steel industry and declared the press would “resist and defeat” any attempted seizure “by any president.” At about the same time the resolution was passed, President Truman told a news conference in Washington that the thought of seizing the nation’s newspapers and radio stations has never occurred to him. The association, meeting behind closed doors, today reelected M. C. Cahill president. George C. Biggers of the Atlanta Journal, was reelected vice president. Directors reelected included J. D. Funk of the Santa Monica Outlook.
