VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's PIRST Newspaper ANAH Educator Panel Discusses So-Called Subversive Texts In White Temple Meeting The public schools had their fear of retaliation. "say" on school textbooks last night when three Anaheim school representatives spoke at the White Temple Methodist church in a symposium exploring the subject: "Are Our Public School Textbooks Subversive?" Participating in the forum were Frank Kellogg, dean of men at Anaheim high school, Paul Cook, superintendent of Anaheim's elementary schools, and Charles Rinehart, chairman of the social studies department at the high school. Mr. Kellogg and Mr. Cook presented a general picture on the trials and tribulations to which textbooks are continually exposed, while Mr. Rinehart discussed specific issues concerning "Our Changing Social Order," a text- Mr. Cook then told the group that in appraising public school textbooks the critic should distinguish between statements that are subversive (that is, which tend to disparage the institutions, which have made this country great in comparison with the (Continued on Page 5) Anaheim Dancers Win Telequest Semi-Finals Hawaiian dancers, Bettie Ulrich and Delores Poole, of Anaheim, won the semi-finals in the Leo Carrillo, Dude Ranch Varieties Telequest. The Anaheim "Talent Time" GRAND FINALE—Cast member Anaheim high school music p.m. tonight for the second popular tunes that highlight MR. KELLOGG pointed out there has been spasmodic criticism of school textbooks throughout the country but that close scrutiny of the books showed the critics usually presented outright "fabrications" or represented a special or narrow viewpoint. He declared the school authorities are in "sympathy" with any honest criticism of textbooks because as American men and women they "don't want anything to destroy free enterprise or in any way favor communism." But, he said, school authorities may "disagree with the methods of correction" — meaning that "common courtesy and intellectual honesty" should cause the criticisms to be brought to the school officials where the critics could explore the materials fully with the teacher and by full analysis of the textbook. This, Mr. Kellogg stated, is preferable to "trying" the text in the press on selected items from the book which are interpreted to support one point of view. Mr. Kellogg pointed out that New York state recently set up a panel composed largely of parents to receive complaints on textbooks and to study all the facts involved. He said that under the system a large amount of irritation regarding textbook material had been frankly surveyed and reported on by the panel—greatly reducing the friction. He concluded by saying "We don't gain much in seeking to improve our school materials if we use methods which discredit and undermine our school system." Supreme Court Orders L.A. to Carry Out Federal Housing Project SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—The Supreme Court today ordered the City of Los Angeles to carry out its agreements toward development of a 10,000-unit multimillion dollar low rent slum clearance housing project. In a companion case, the high court affirmed judgment of a lower court which had refused an injunction to two taxpayers to restrain the city from proceeding with the project. The Supreme Court issued a peremptory writ of mandate directing the city to perform terms of agreements entered into with the Housing authority. The court held the Los Angeles city council had no right last Feb. 26 to vote to rescind a prior approval of the project. The court said that under the Housing authority's law and the housing co-operation law, the city was given discretionary power to determine the need for such slum clearance projects.

Vandals Again Dump Tombstone On Local Lawn Vandals who, a week ago, hauled a grave marker from Yorba cemetery and dumped it on the lawn of the Hilgenfeld mortuary at Broadway and Claudina sts., Anaheim, Sunday gave a repeat performance of their alleged humor. For the second time, the stone monument marking the grave of Cecelia J. Murillo, daughter of Albert Murillo, for many years a deputy constable in Olive, was thrown on the Hilgenfeld lawn. That this second desecration of the Murillo grave was done by the same pranksters was made obvious by a note attached to the 150 to 200-pound stone. It read: "After careful consideration we have decided that we don't like to be called vandals, and we think our sense of humor is terrific." On the lower right corner of the note was a postscript: "We're sorry, Mr. Murillo, but this was too good to miss." Citrus Market Sunkist Growers, Inc., reported today all auction markets California oranges were higher small sizes, lower large size navels.

Hugh J. Gaffey from Korea. The Army flew them here for separation from the service and nearly 200 mothers, fathers and wives were on hand at the airport. But most of theGI's looked for faces they never found. It seems the names of the 50 had been sent to Fort MacArthur but arrived too late for publication. The only relatives who knew for sure their loved ones were arriving were those notified by phone from Seattle by the returning veterans. The rest of the relatives showed up on speculation. Sgt. David MacPherson of Indio, for instance, found no one. First to spot his folks was Cpl. Duke Jackels of Sherman Oaks, who had a big smile for Mr. and Mrs. William J. Jackels. Also among the lucky ones were Sgt. Owen Marsh of North Hollywood and Cpl. John Miglaiccio, Los Angeles. The soldiers have been overseas 13 months.

The nomination of Eisenhower's successor was made by President Truman to the North Atlantic Treaty Council this morning, but official announcement of the man's name was withheld until tonight.

Ridgway's appointment and Eisenhower's release as supreme Allied commander will become effective approximately June 1. The nomination was submitted to the home capitals of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization powers. Rome officials believed Ridgway had been named, rather than Gruenther, because of his more extensive command experience. All of Gruenther's major assignments have been in staff jobs.

Mischief Makers Attack Schools Vandals took their toll of the closed Broadway school and Anaheim's newest educational institution; Thomas Jefferson school, 524 E. South st., this weekend. Superintendent Paul Cook reported to police that someone had broken two 30 by 60-inch windows in the front of Broadway school.

Rotary-Chamber Meeting Hears Bypass Plans Members of the Anaheim Rotary club and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce in a joint-meeting this noon heard of plans for diverting heavy through-traffic on Highway 101 around Anaheim, rather than through Anaheim. Tom Yellis, chairman of the chamber's transportation committee, introduced Harold Sprenger, county road official, who traced the proposed by-pass road from the junction of Highway 101 and Placentia ave. (at the Orange Drive-In theater) to its connections with Imperial highway and a proposed route into Brea canyon. The by-pass is designed to route heavy through-traffic off of Spadra and Los Angeles st., thus relieving congestion—particularly in Anaheim and Fullerton business districts. Next speaker was Paul O. Harding, of Los Angeles, assistant state highway engineer, who discussed highway programs in Orange and Los Angeles counties, particularly the freeways. He showed photo-enhower's release as supreme Allied commander will become effective approximately June 1. The nomination was submitted to the home capitals of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization powers. Rome officials believed Ridgway had been named, rather than Gruenther, because of his more extensive command experience. All of Gruenther's major assignments have been in staff jobs. Gen. Ridgway, 57, won fame as the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division in the invasions of Sicily and Normandy in the second World War. He parachuted into France on D-Day. He was sent to Korea in December, 1950, to succeed Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, commander of the Eighth army, who was killed in a jeep accident when United Nations forces were reeling in retreat. He succeeded Gen. Douglas MacArthur when the latter was relieved by President Truman in April last year. The son of an army colonel, Ridgway was born at Port Monroe, Va., and was graduated from West Point in 1917. Besides his unique position as commander of U.N. forces in Korea and Allied occupation chief in Japan, he has filled many diplomatic and military posts in China, Nicaragua, Panama, the Philippines and the United Nations. Gen. Gruenther, known in the Army as a brilliant organizing "brain," is the youngest four star general in the Army. He was 52 on March 3. He came to know Eisenhower when Eisenhower was chief of staff for the Third army under Lt. Gen. Walter Krueger and Gruenther was deputy chief of staff. Eisenhower brought him to Europe in 1942 and made him one of the chief planners of the North African and Italian campaigns. Gruenther is a native of Platte Center, Neb., and was fourth in his graduating class at West Point in the first World War. Thomas R. Morris Dies in Buena Park Thomas R. Morris, 69, a native Vandals took their toll of the closed Broadway school and Anaheim's newest educational institution; Thomas Jefferson school, 524 E. South st., this weekend. Superintendent Paul Cook reported to police that someone had broken two 30 by 60-inch windows in the front of Broadway school. At Jefferson school, he said, the fire alarm was damaged by being turned on and left running and the flag-pole ropes had been cut. Also, he said, the restrooms at the school had been left in "terrible condition." The by-pass is designed to route heavy through-traffic off of Spadra and Los Angeles st., thus relieving congestion—particularly in Anaheim and Fullerton business districts. Next speaker was Paul O. Harding, of Los Angeles, assistant state highway engineer, who discussed highway programs in Orange and Los Angeles counties, particularly the freeways. He showed photographs of construction work and maps of the road nets. Mr. Harding said there had been some criticism from other counties in this area because the Santa Ana freeway had been given top attention in the construction program. He pointed out, however, that Orange county has cooperated so well since the beginning of the freeway plans that the highway commission feels the county deserves extra consideration. Dr. Samuel Gendel, vice-president of the chamber, and Dick Gay, president of the Rotary club, presided at the meeting. Realtor's Property Held Against Notes County Tax Collector Don Mozeely has swooped down-or up-on a neon sign left hanging at the abandoned real estate office of Jack Reagan, 610 N. Main st., Santa Ana, and will sell it Wednesday for delinquent taxes amounting to $20. The sale is set for 10 a.m. at Mozeley's office in the Hall of Records, Santa Ana.
