Chamber's Meet Most of the well-known persons of Orange county were present at Anaheim Elks club last night to hear California State Controller Thomas Kuchel address a meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. Gen. S. S. Ridderhoff, president, introduced the chairman of the evening, Donn Derr, Anaheim recreation department director. In his talk, Mr. Kuchel related the historical ups and downs of Anaheim's establishment and growth and said "I think we are compelled to concede that government, in 1952, compares favorably with government of 1870, so far as problems and discomfities are concerned. Indeed, there are some, and I include myself among them, who incline towards the views that modern public questions are, to say the least, a little knottier and a bit more difficult than they were 80 years ago." The state of California, the controller pointed out, takes almost a billion dollars a year in state taxes. "We receive 20 per cent more from the United States, or just under 200 million dollars, and we disburse over half the billion, and three-fourths of the 200 million to or for local governmental agencies. And, the trend is all towards the state's assumption of an even larger cost of local obligations." Speaking on the encroachments of various governmental units, Mr. Kuchel said: Armed bandits robbed a Costa Mesa market last night, but the law caught up with them quickly and within 12 hours had jailed three Newhope men, David Keith, 30, his brother, Ralph Keith, 21, and Jerry Roman, 22. They are charged with the $500 holdup of Rickey's Market, 2106 Newhope blvd., Costa Mesa. The sheriff's office said that all three have a long list of robberies on their records, including at least three in Orange county. They are said to be wanted in Norwalk, Riverside, San Bernardino and Long Beach. One bandit, David Keith, was picked up at his home, 14262 Marles dr., Newhope, soon after the holdup, not for the Costa Mesa robbery, but for one at Norwalk. Bandits Get $500 in Costa Mesa Robbery; Are Caught Soon After the Ralph Sporting Goods store in Garden Grove. A number of guns stolen there were sold in Mexico, but the bandits kept for and used them in later robberies. At the Rickey market in Costa Mesa last night, the store occupant, Ethel Hall Richard, closed the market when Dav Keith appeared at the front door at 10:30 p.m. and asked to purchase milk. She let him in at Ralph Keith followed, Roman maining in their car, parked nearby. As they reached the cash star David Keith drew his gun and ordered her to go to her sleepi quarters at the rear of the market. There they placed a pillow slip over her head, bound her arm left her on the bed. Under threat... Speaking on the encroachments of various governmental units, Mr. Kuchel said: "It's true, of course, that affairs of our state cannot be insulated or isolated from the federal government's activities above us, nor from those cities and counties below us. Almost in every instance, what any one of them does affects the other two. And the years, particularly the recent years, and most particularly in matters of fiscal concern, have witnessed a hodgepodge of overlapping statutes which have tied us together where we ought to have acted separately, and which have dealt bruising blows to the almost outmoded theory of state sovereignty. Thus, what is, or at any rate what ought to be the tax base for state government, has been invaded, here by the federal government and there by the local government. For example, when you die, the state has an inheritance tax to exact, but in recent years, the federal government has had a death tax too, though I must say that the top bracket of 15 per cent under the California tax and the top bracket of 77 per cent under the federal tax almost defy comparison of the two. It must also be conceded that our state has entered the income tax field where the federal government has The sheriff's office said that all three have a long list of robberies on their records, including at least three in Orange county. They are said to be wanted in Norwalk, Riverside, San Bernardino and Long Beach. One bandit, David Keith, was picked up at his home, 14262 Marles dr., Newhope, soon after the holdup, not for the Costa Mesa robbery, but for one at Norwalk. During questioning he divulged to officers that he was to meet his two confederates at 10:30 this morning at a coffee shop, 17th and Flower sts., Santa Ana, to split the $500 obtained in the Costa Mesa robbery. Ralph Keith and Jerry Roman walked into the coffee shop at the appointed hour this morning and found themselves facing the drawn guns of four deputy sheriffs and an FBI agent. Capt. Herman Stahl, Lt. Harry Nuffer; Sgt. Boyn Sturgis and Jess Buckles' of the Sheriffs' office, and Bill Hoxie, FBI agent, rounded them up. They had $450 wrapped in a seaman's black kerchief, officers said. HOXIE WANTED Ralph Keith as an army deserter, officers stated. Ralph also is under $2500 ball to appear on a rape charge in San Bernardino May 2. The prisoners also are alleged to have staged the robbery of the Hide-Out cafe on Euclid ave., north of La Palma ave., where a victim was left bound; also the Hunt Grocery robbery at Lincoln ave. and Hwy. 39, where a woman was tied to her bed and a man left bound to a chair. Officers said the prisoners carried guns stolen in a burglary of Citrus Market Sunkist Growers, Inc., reported today all auction markets California oranges were higher navels.

A letter from the California State Highway department was received which indicated the department is prepared to make surveys preliminary to a decision on placing an automatic traffic signal light at the intersection of Santa Ana st., and Manchester blvd., with the nearby entry of Walnut st., onto the freeway. The installation has been requested before and surveys were made, but no action was taken. City Attorney Preston Turner was instructed to prepare an ordinance setting forth the locations of some 100 parking meters on W. Broadway and other streets. Turner was also asked to prepare a resolution specifying that part payments received by the city for its interest in Section 2 of the Joint Outfall Sewer be used by the city only for other sewer work. A beautiful specimen or violin craftsmanship by Antonio Stradivari can be seen at the Mary Millerick shop 9:30 to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow. On exhibit also is an unusually fine example of violin making from the hands of Carlo Bergonzi, a contemporary of Stradivari and the Guareni family. These instruments are rarely seen, both being the possessions of concert artists of renown. Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) worked in Cremona, Italy. The instrument now on exhibit is an excellent example of the "long pattern," dated 1694, and is original in all its parts. Like all of his instruments, especially the ones of the early period and leading up to 1700, it excels in its beautiful workmanship, fine choice of wood, and great care in every detail. Its varnish is of the best type, rich orange red in color, and the filler (which is plainly visible on the back where the varnish has worn off) has never been surpassed, having become a lost art. So fine an example in tone and brilliance is this violin that it has always been owned by great concert artists. It carried a Hill certificate, a world-wide guarantee of authenticity. Carlo Bergonzi (1686-1747) was formerly thought to be a pupil of Stradivarius, but later authorities agree that his work and patterns indicate an association, at one time or another, with Gulseppi Guarneri nel Gesu. Bergonzi's workmanship, pattern and varnish all place him as one of the four greatest violin makers of the Cremona school. Community Concerts Assoc. headquarters are at 218-220 E.

Martin said that high military opinion is that had Gen.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The Truman administration sought with alarmed urgency today to halt a paralyzing steel strike set in motion by an historic court slapdown of the president's seizure of a private industry. Out of the steel mills streamed the majority of 650,000 CIO United Steelworkers in swift reaction to yesterday's ruling by Federal District Judge David A. Pine that Truman exceeded the bounds of his authority in taking over the steel industry April 9 to head off just such a walkout. In a blistering opinion, Pine called the steel seizure "illegal" and denied what he termed a presidential claim of "unlimited and unrestrained" power. With the president thus backed to the wall—for the moment, at least—in the constitutional struggle over his "inherent" powers to act in an emergency, government lawyers moved swiftly to: 1—Get Pine himself, or else the U.S. Court of Appeals, to postpone the effective date of a formal give-back—the mills order which the judge planned to issue today; and 2—Bring the case as quickly as possible before the Supreme Court (Continued on Page 8).
