Hooray! We finally found something Waldo believes in. He comes right out and names it in his column "Oblong Views," Page 6. VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANA Federal Judge Pi Special Census Supervisor Reports Population Now More Than 17,000 Preliminary figures on Anaheim's special census released this morning indicate that local population has jumped from the 1950 figure, 14,522, to 17,087 as of April 17, 1952, an increase of 2565 persons. E. B. Lewis, special census supervisor from the Bureau of the Census, said the figure is preliminary and is subject to revision, but that it will prove substantially correct. He explained that changes will be officially noted when verified by his office until May 6, at which time the figure will become final and official. According to a statement made by City Administrator Keith Murdoch last week, the indicated increase in Anaheim's population will mean an increase of $16,800.75 in tax money paid the city by the state from "in lieu" taxes and gasoline taxes. He said each resident established as a citizen of the city by census count is "worth" $6.55 each in determining how much will be paid the city from the two tax funds.

The court, by unanimous vote, decided yesterday that the city council had no right to rescind an original agreement with the city housing authority. The city council voted 8 to 7 last December to cancel the agreement. These were the developments here following the court's decision: 1. City Attorney Ray L. Cheesebro, who ruled the council had the right to cancel the agreement, said the supreme court will be asked for a re-hearing. He said if a re-hearing is denied the case could be appealed to the U.S. supreme court. 2. As to whether the housing question still will be submitted to the city's voters June 3 for approval or disapproval, which the council had agreed to do, Mayor Fletcher Bowron said: "there's nothing to be voted on now, in my opinion." 3. The city Housing authority announced it will meet tomorrow to study the decision. J. Francis Addy Gets Valencia School Position State Allocates $40,000 to Fair Ground Project Completion of an improvement program by the Orange county fair was assured, after considerable delay, when announcement was made by Assembly Speaker Sam L. Collins that $40,000 had been allocated to the fair late yesterday by the State Board of Public Works. The funds will be used for providing a kitchen for the cafeteria, construction of restrooms, work on the administration building, and four junior livestock barns, according to Roy Edwards of Orange, chairman of the fair board. Edwards expressed satisfaction at finally obtaining the allocation. "We had a cafeteria without a kitchen and we needed the other improvements, which will fit into the master plan of fairground development," said Edwards. The fair board, he explained, had previously received an allocation of $52,500 for the program. In attempting to be conservative with its expenditures, the board had made estimates of costs which the state division of architects reviewed and found to be $39,168 short of actual needs. Application was made for that sum to complete the work, but nothing was heard from the state board, and fair officials were wondering what had happened to their application, said Edwards. Collins then took the matter up with the state board at its meeting Monday, and obtained the $40,000 allocation. Three Anaheim Area Gls Arrive Announcement of the stockade was made by Phil Douglas of Bureau of Fish Conservation; the State Department of Fish Game. Douglas also announced that Silverado, Santiago and Juan creeks will be stocked trout during the next two days.

Three Hurt When Russ Fighters On Air France Plane; No Yanks All BERLIN (UP)—Two Russian jet fighters attacked an Air France Commercial airliner with cannon and machine gun fire in the Allied air corridor over the Soviet zone today. Two German passengers were wounded and two crew members nicked by bullets. The airliner, enroute to Berlin with 11 passengers and six crewmen aboard, ducked behind cloud cover after the fighters made four passes. It reached Berlin's Templehof airdrome safely half an hour after the attack. The fuselage was riddled, but fortunately none of the shots hit a vital part of the plane. None of the passengers or crewmen was an American. The Allied high commission at Bonn sent a stern protest to the Soviet Control commission immediately. Commercial flights between Berlin and Western Germany were cancelled temporarily by Allied officials, but the embargo was lifted gradually a few hours later. Air France's four-engined Douglas plane arrived at Templehof from Frankfurt with five cannon holes the size of a fist in the fuse-lage and wings. Inspecting crews said they counted 20 to 25 holes in the plane altogether. A first report by U.S. air officers that there were 89 bullet holes was discounted later as exaggerated.

Stratocruis Overdue New Rainstorm May Hit Here Tomorrow LOS ANGELES (AP) — That low fog of the last couple of days—which brought up to a third of an inch of rain to foothill towns—may be replaced by the real thing tomorrow night. A storm now 900 miles off Oregon is expected to reach here with good rainfall through Friday, the Weather Bureau said in a five-day forecast. A steady drizzle last night wet Altadena with .37 of an inch, Pasadena with .30 and La Canada with .25. The new storm and melting snows are causing Big Bear Lake to rise at a rate of 2 to 2½ inches a day, observers there reported. It is the wettest season in the San Bernardino mountain area since 1941, but only the ninth wettest since 1870. New Drug Found For Treatment Of Alcoholics LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tetra-caine, a new drug used chiefly to kill pain, also gives "excellent results" in the treatment of alcoholism, says Dr. John S. Horan of Berkeley. He told the convention of the California Medical association yesterday the drug has two effects—helping alcoholics resist the compulsion to drink and overcoming the nervousness characteristic of heavy drinkers. Dr. Horan described it this way: "Not a miracle cure, but a new, safe way of treating pain without using narcotics or habit-forming drugs." 'Talent Time' Show to Open In Fox Tonight Tomorrow nights presentation of "Talent Time in Anaheim" promises to be one of the best shows in the series. THERE WAS NO immediate accounting for the attack. Since the 1948-49 Berlin blockade, traffic through the air corridors linking Berlin with Western Germany has been relatively free from alarms. Last Thursday, however, about 25-000 blue-shirted communist youth stormed at West Berlin's borders in a professed peace rally connected with Russia's current campaign to convince Western Germany it should discard links with the Atlantic Pact Defense and listen to Moscow's promises of German unification and neutrality. The demonstration resulted in several cracked heads and 14 arrests of youths who infiltrated the French sector. The Air France officer said the two wounded on the airliner were Mrs. Irmgard Nebel of Frankfurt, who was hit in the abdomen, and Walter Kurth of Bad Homburg, wounded in the arm and thigh. Mrs. Nebel was taken to a hospital where pieces of 20-millimeter ammunition were removed. The French pilot said he was flying precisely in the center of the air corridor over the Russian zone, when the two jets made four passes at him and unloaded bursts of cannon and machinegun fire. The co-pilot and steward also were nicked by bullets. "The attack was a complete surged gradually a few hours later. Air France's four-engined Douglas plane arrived at Templehof from Frankfurt with five-cannon holes the size of a fist in the fuselage and wings.

Dr. Horan described it this way: "Not a miracle cure, but a new, safe way of treating pain without using narcotics or habit-forming drugs." Alcoholics, he said, often are very tense individuals and the relaxing effects of the drug made it possible for many, with five or 10 minutes after treatment, to drive a car or return to work without feeling "dipsy." Corisone, widely used in treatment of some types of arthritis, also can cure lye burns, said Dr. Alex Weisskopf of San Mateo. He told of a youth who suffered severe lye burns in the passage between his throat and stomach. After a year of treatment, the physician said, there was no evidence of stricture. He added that experiments on animals also have cured lye burns without scarring. Dr. Paul Russell of Inglewood said the person who fears a headache from a spinal anesthetic has a much greater chance of getting one than the person who doesn't. He said with the fearful patient, there's one chance in 10 of a headache that will last from 24 hours to 10 days; but the individual who has no fear usually will get only mild, brief pain or none at all. LOS ANGELES (UP)—John R. Bayless, 37, the ex-convict convicted last week of robbing a Hollywood bank of $19,682, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison. 'Talent Time' Show to Open In Fox Tonight Tomorrow nights presentation of "Talent Time in Anaheim" promises to be one of the best shows in the series. Opening in the Fox Anaheim theater after two previous showings at the Anaheim, the talent quest show will offer 10 top acts selected from the best of Orange county talent. Try-outs for the Wednesday night show will be staged Wednesday afternoon, April 30 from 3 to 5 p.m. Acts will be selected for the night performance and for future performances at that time. The Retail Division of the Chamber of Commerce announced through its chairman Walter Swanberger that every effort will be made to see that every act that tries out and meets with the approval of the judges will be given a spot on one of the "Talent Time" shows. Winners on the Wednesday show will be presented on the Leo Carrillo Dude Ranch Varieties as have four other acts from Orange county in the past few weeks. Earl Peterson manager of the Fox Anaheim announced that there will be no advance in prices for "Talent Time" which will be shown in connection with the feature picture "Snow White."

Jurist Denies 'Inherent Power' Doctrine of Truman; Holds Strike Is Less Dangerous than Seizure WASHINGTON (U.S.)—U.S. District Judge David A. Pine today ruled the government's seizure of the steel industry was illegal. He granted five major steel companies a temporary injunction ordering "maintenance of the status quo as of the date of the wrongful acts complained of." In effect, this bars the government frpm going ahead and giving the CIO steelworkers the pay raises recommended by the Wage Stabilization Board. Pine said that President Truman's seizure was "unauthorized by law." And the judge specifically turned down contentions by the gov. BULLETIN CLEVELAND (U.S.)—CIO President Phil Murray said today "Judge Pine's decision costing the government from possession of the steel mills leaves the members" of the CIO United Steelworkers "with no alternative but to cease work immediately." Stratocruiser Overdue with 50 Passengers BUENOS AIRES (UP) — A Pan-American stratocruiser carrying 50 persons was overdue today on a flight from Rio de Janiero to Trinidad, enroute to New York. Pan-America's office here at one time this afternoon said the plane had landed safely at Belem, Brazil. Later Pan-American said this report apparently was untrue. (Pan-American in New York likewise said it had no confirmation of the Beem landing report). The New York office said the plane, because of the elapsed time, must have exhausted its gas supply and "be down somewhere." The Brazilian consul general said he had been told by Pan-American that presumably the plane was lost between Barrieras, 700 miles northwest of Rio de Janeiro, and Carolina in Western Maranhao state, 320 miles farther north. Several hours had passed since the plane was first reported missing. It was due at Port of Spain, Trinidad, at 7 a.m. PDT. The 1¼ million dollar, double-decked plane left Rio de Janiero last night on one of its "El President" flights, originating in Buenos Aires. The stratocruiser, one of the most luxurious planes in worldwide service, offers passengers berth service and fancy meals with drinks., Pan-American operates 29 of the Boeing planes. The missing plane, named the Clipper Good Hope, was on a non-stop schedule for the 2600 miles from Rio de Janiero to Trinidad. It carried 41 passengers and a crew of nine. Nixon Notes Warren Appeal To Democrats SACRAMENTO (UP) — The Republicans can not win the presidency without the support of millions of Democrats—and Governor Warren has great appeal to Democrats, says Senator Richard M. Nixon (R-Calif). But Warren's strength, he said yesterday, "has made him suspect among Republican leaders in mid-western and eastern states." Nixon was in the capital to address a $100 a plate dinner for Republicans. He also spoke his views at a press conference. "Those who contend that all the Republicans have to do to win is to get all the Republicans to go to the polls and vote," he said, "are tort whistling in the dark." He predicted the Democrats will have solid southern support, making it necessary for the Republicans to carry the industrial north — including California, where the Democrats outnumber Republicans. "The Democratic party can not furnish the new leadership the nation needs," said Nixon, and he added: "Any one of the prominently mentioned Republican candidates would be infinitely superior to the Truman-backed candidate which the Democrats will have to nominate." Republicans Tensely Await Outcome Of Massachusetts Election Battle BOSTON (UP) — Another major battle for Republican presidential delegates and popular support began in Massachusetts today, and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's managers forecast the election would give him "a clear cut victory" over Sen. Robert A. Taft. The Senator's managers said they were optimistic, but made no eleventh-hour predictions. A regular down-east "no-the-easter," bringing rain and cold, was expected to cut back the total vote. Even so, political analysts be Of Massachusetts Election Battle BOSTON (UP) — Another major battle for Republican presidential delegates and popular support began in Massachusetts today, and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's managers forecast the election would give him "a clear cut victory" over Sen. Robert A. Taft. Treasury Ups Bond Interest Rate; Discards Two Types, Adds Three WASHINGTON (UP)—The treasury today revamped its entire multi-billion-dollar savings bond program, raising interest rates all along the line. Sale of two of the current series of savings bonds—F and G bonds—will be discontinued effective Thursday. But three new types of bonds will be offered. The familiar series "E" defense bonds—the type held by most individuals—will be continued. But interest rates for the full period of the bond will be raised from 2.09 per cent to 3 per cent. And buyers will get a much bigger increase in interest rates over the first few years they hold the bond. The changes will not affect "E" bonds already sold unless the bondholder wants to keep his bond after it matures. In that case, he will get the new interest rate of 3 per cent. Secretary of the Treasury Snyder said the many changes are designed to improve the bond program "in keeping with the times"—apparently a reference to increased commercial interest rates. Snyder said a sampling of opinion has indicated the changes "will be very popular." The biggest innovation will be issuance of an "H" bond to be sold, like the "E" bond, only to individuals. The "E" bond is bought at a fixed price, amounting to three-fourths of its face value. A $25 bond, for instance, costs $18.75 and matures 10 years later at $25 value. The "H" bond, however, will pay off in checks to be delivered to the bondholder twice a year. It will be sold at par—and will mature at par—and the smallest denomination will be a $500 bond. The treasury said "H" bonds of lesser amount would not be practical because of the expense of handling semi-annual interest payments. The "H" bond's interest rate will be 3 per cent annually, if held for the full term of nine years and eight months, but the initial checks will not reflect that large a rate. The Senator's managers said they were optimistic, but made no eleventh-hour predictions. A regular down-east "no'the easter," bringing rain and cold, was expected to cut back the total vote. Even so, political analysts believe it may triple the 1948 figure of 124,000. A hot pre-election campaign, plus the use of a preferential ballot this year, has generated intense interest. Preferential voting permits the people to ballot directly for the presidential candidate, as well as for his delegate-candidates. Massachusetts has 38 Republican convention delegates. Two each already have been allotted to Taft and Eisenhower, and six will go to the convention uninstructed. The remaining 28 will be elected today. Both candidates have full slates in the 14 districts. Some of Eisenhower's backers have claimed he would win all 28, but others place the figure at 20 to 24. If their forecasts are accurate, Eisenhower will draw almost even with Taft in the box-score of delegates won up to this point in national campaigning. An Associted Press tabulation, based on known alignments of delegates, put Taft's total at 265 and Eisenhower's at 234. Taft's managers, however, claim more than 300. Taft campaigned personally in a three-day swing through Massachusetts last week. On the ballot, the names of his delegate-candidates are designated as "pledged" or favorable to him.
