VOTE Tomorrow ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Steel Seizure Unconstitution Rules; CIO Steelworkers Q Factories to Go Back to Owners; 'Inherent Powers' Go Down Drain WASHINGTON, (AP) — President Truman today ordered the return of the steel industry to private owners after the Supreme Court declared his seizure action illegal. Truman directed this action in a letter sent by special messenger to Secretary of Commerce Nawyer, who had been operating the mills for the government. WASHINGTON, — The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 today that President Truman's seizure of the steel industry was unconstitutional. Within minutes CIO President Philip Murray called a nationwide strike of his 650,000 steel-workers national emergency. The court said firmly, however, that this power belongs to Congress and not to the president—either as the civilian head of the government or as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. Black's opinion today declared: "The Constitution limits his (the president's) function in the law-making process to the recommending of laws he thinks wise and the vetoing of laws he thinks bad. And the Constitution is neither silent nor equivocal about who shall make laws which the president is to execute." Black said the power of Congress to adopt "such public policies as those proclaimed by the WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 today that President Truman's seizure of the steel industry was unconstitutional. Within minutes CIO President Philip Murray called a nationwide strike of his 650,000 steelworkers. In a historic decision striking down hard Truman's claim to vast inherent power under the Constitution, the high court upheld the ruling of U.S. District Judge David A. Pine that the president acted illegally in seizing the steel mills April 8 to head off a strike. This meant the government must obey Pine's order to turn the mills back to the owners. It also meant the Truman administration could not carry through its promise of a wage increase to the steel workers while the mills were under government ownership. Today's high court decision was written by Justice Black. Chief Justice Vinson and Justices Reed and Minton dissented. In issuing his strike call today, Murray at the same time asked the steel companies to resume collective bargaining. But Murray also made clear that the union still stands on the terms of the Wage Stabilization Board (WSB) recommendations of a 26 cent an hour "package" settlement, plus a union shop arrangement. He said: "In the absence of a wage agreement our members have no alternative other than to cease work." TODAY'S DECISION was of overriding importance in the controversy—as old as the American Republic itself—over how great are the powers of the presidency. Truman has repeatedly claimed he has inherent power under the Constitution to seize a private industry, or take a wide variety of other actions, to safeguard the welfare of the nation in time, of Optimist Youth Center Opening Date Announced With completion of the Anaheim Optimist's Youth center rapidly approaching, June 13, Friday was announced by Optimist president Harwood Larson as the dedication date. Optimist's international president, Rolly Noll, who has delayed his departure for the East will officiate at the openign. Outstanding Optimists from all over the 14th District will be on hand. Governor Roy Atherton, Beverly Hills, and Governor-Elect Dudley Williams, San Diego, will both have a share in the program. The public dedication and open house will be held Thursday, June 19. On hand to welcome the visiting Optimists will be Anaheim's own Lieutenant Governor J. W. Stephen, recently elected at the 14th District convention held at Santa Catalina Island.

And the Constitution is neither silent nor equivocal about who shall make laws which the president is to execute." Black said the power of Congress to adopt "such public policies as those proclaimed by the president's order is beyond question." He went on: "It can authorize the taking of private property for public use. It can make laws regulating the relationships between employees and employers, prescribing rules designed to settle labor disputes and fixing wages and working conditions in certain fields of our economy. The Constitution did not subject this law-making power of Congress to presidential or military supervision or control."

Eisenhower will retire tomorrow at his own request—and will stop drawing his $18,761 a year in military pay and allowances. Retirement will free the general from the Army's rule against officers taking an active part in politics and will enable him to campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Earlier word from the Pentagon was that Eisenhower would continue to draw his pay and allowances unless he resigned his commission, as he has said he will do. Maj. Gen. Floyd Parks, the Army's information chief, said this afternoon, however, that the general had requested "no special certification be made in his case" to allow him to continue on the Army payroll. The current military appropriations bill does not permit such payments to officers retiring under the age of 62 unless the Department of Defense rules the retirement is (1) for the good of the service, or (2) for personal hardship. Marine Lieutenant Calls Korea Scrap 'Grenade War' "If any one weapon has proven itself of more value than others to the fighting men in Korea, that weapon is the hand granade." First Lt. Lewis R. Webb, Marine Corps, told Kwikset workers in a recent meeting, that because of the nature of the terrain in Korea, the conflict can be described as a "hand grenade war." The Anaheim lockset plant has been turning out grenade fuses for the Korean front since last November. Lieutenant Webb came to Anaheim to tell the Kwiksetters how important their work has been to the UN combatants on the war front. "I want to express thanks for myself and on behalf of all the Marines who have fought and are fighting in Korea for the equipment which Kwikset helped provide," the Marine said. The grenades for which Kwikset is producing fuses are of a type developed after World War II. They are silent in operation, compared with the older type, which produced a loud "click" and warned alert nearby enemy troops. Dudley Williams, San Diego, will both have a share in the program. The public dedication and open house will be held Thursday, June 19. On hand to welcome the visiting Optimists, will be Anaheim's own Lieutenant Governor J. W. Stephen, recently elected at the 14th District convention held at Santa Catalina Island. Among those taking part in the Optimist conclave were Tom Yellis, J. W. Stephen, Al Garey, Walt Gooden, Harwood Larson and their wives. The past week saw all bicycles inspected and Scotch-lite applied at Lincoln school as the Optimist's bicycle campaign went into its second week. Under the able direction of Ed Wisser and Orval Starmer, with an able staff of Optimist assistants, including Les Mitchell, Abe Sowder, E. E. Walburg, Lyle Shafer, Oscar Leeb, Leonard Schwacofer and police officer Norbert DeCock, a complete check-up of eighty bicycles was completed in the record time of an hour and a half.

Third Man in Bridgford Case To be Arraigned Richard Joseph McGovern, returne here from San Francisco this weekend by Anaheim Police Lt. T. V. Taylor and Officer Forrest Wolverton, was scheduled to be arraigned sometime this afternoon on four counts of grand theft, grand theft auto, robbery and kidnapping in connection with the Dec. 8, 1951, robbery of Bridgford Meat Packing Co., here. McGovern is the third man apprehended by police last week in connection with the $50,000 meat theft in which a Bridgford night engineer was bound, gagged and held in a closed truck and another truck was loaded and driven away after being painted in the company yard. John William White, Glendale, and Irving Shulman, North Hollywood, are being held as accomplices in the case. One Killed, 14 Hurt in County Highway Wrecks One dead and 14 injured represente the traffic toll on Orange county roads during the three day Memorial holiday weekend, it was disclosed today by official reports. Walter K. Robinson, 55, Santa Ana ice cream vendor, was killed instantly Saturday near San Juan Capistrano when his Good Humor truck was hit by a two-car Santa Fe commuter train at a private road crossing on the Bathgate Ranch. Robinson, who had only one leg, had stopped his truck at the crossing and then proceeded to cross, apparently not observing the train's approach. Kathleen Flesch, 5, Buena Park, received injuries late yesterday when she ran from behind a parked car and struck the side of a passing car driven by Donald J. Reott, 26, of Fullerton. The accident took place on Commonwealth ave., west of Fullerton st., in Buena Park. Collision between cars driven by Edward D. Laurance, 43, Huntington Beach, and Charles J. Thomas, 21, Southgate, Sunday evening resulted in injury to Mrs. Sylvia Thomas, 50. The accident took place on Manchester blvd., near Western ave., Buena Park. Rosie Lee Barnes, 23, and Jo Ann Jones, 3, both of Long Beach, were injured Sunday evening when a car in which they were riding with Grant Barnes, 26, blew a tire on Lincoln ave., in Cypress.

Features Feature Primary Balloting Tomorrow From the battle for choice of presidential delegates, on down rough the list of congressional, state and nonpartisan local offices competition has been so keen that observers look for an unusually heavy vote. County Clerk J. Smith, registrar of voters, made the forecast of 65 per cent, which would place the total slightly below 73,000. Only 50.4 per cent of the registered vote went to the polls at the last presidential primary, in 48, but there was no delegate voice then, and what competition were was for other offices on the lot failed to generate the heat tomorrow, Anaheim and Orange county voters are expected to turn out in record numbers to write "finis" to a set of political races — some hot, some cool—which have been before the electorate the past few weeks. Voting places for the primary election will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Anaheim. Voters have been notified by the county as to the location of their voting precinct. Two contests which have generated a little campaign-heat are the John A. Murdy-Sam Collins race for senator and the Edward Faulkner-Ralph McFadden race for county supervisor. Both races pit a "challenger" against the "pro." In the past two or three weeks Mr. Murdy has moved up strongly from the definite underdog to a position where he might pull an upset against Mr. Collins, a veteran of the Sacramento legislative scene. Mr. Murdy, of Huntington Beach, who resides alongside a "heavy vote" section of the county, has shown good organizational ability and has made a good impression in a campaign based on emphasis of business and spiritual principles in government. Mr. Murdy and Mr. Collins got into a slight hassle when Mr. Collins accused Mr. Murdy of conducting a "whispering" campaign concerning Mr. Collins' conduct of office and connections in Sacramento. CONTESTS this year like the Warren-Werdel delegate struggle, the Collins-Murdy race for the State Senate, the scramble for congress, and local drives like the race between McFadden and Faulkner for Third district supervisor, may add another 30,000 ballots tomorrow. Increased registration has increased the number of election boards that will count Tuesday's ballots, from 321 two years ago to 341 now. There are 322 named recincts, but 19 of them will operate two election boards. By the time of the November election, it is expected that these over-populated precincts will be divided, and new precincts created. Revision of precinct boundary lines this year eliminated West Orange precinct, added Katella No. 3, and switched Yorba from the Fourth supervisorial district and 74th assembly district, to the third supervisorial district and with assembly district. The porion of Yorba district east of the river was made a part of new Beralta Hills precinct in Santa Ana canyon. Aside from county central committee and local water district offices, and a Laguna Beach school bond issue, Tuesday's voting deals with a dozen contested offices and two with no competition—Presiding Judge Kenneth Morrison of Superior court, and Supervisor C. M. Featherly, first district, Santa Ana, having no opposition. Warren-Werdel Slates in Last Minute Battle Gov. Earl Warren's campaign leaders, fighting an intensive rival bid for California's 70 GOP convention delegates, urged their supporters today to get out and vote in the state's presidential primary tomorrow. Thomas J. Mellon, Warren's Northern California director, warned against overconfidence in a statement which indicated respect for the vote-getting potential of the bitterly anti-Warren slate. Rep. Thomas H. Werdel of Hakorgfield, nominal candidate of an uncommitted delegation, confidently predicts he'll lick Warren—and thus wreck his presidential chances—by over 200,000 votes. Werdel, who is running for reelection to Congress, personally favors Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio or Gen. Douglas A. MacArthur. In the Democratic contest, Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown, standin candidate of the late-starting former Truman slate, called on voters to turn out in large numbers to choose their 68-vote delegation. Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee felt safe enough to leave the state Friday night to campaign in South Dakota. Warren and Kefauver, both actual candidates, and the two opposing "free choice" slates are the only entries on the ballot. Writeins will be thrown out. WERDEL AND BROWN have hammered at a similar theme— has shown good organizational ability and has made a good impression in a campaign based on emphasis of business and spiritual principles in government. Mr. Murdy and Mr. Collins got into a slight hassle when Mr. Collins accused Mr. Murdy of conducting a "whispering" campaign concerning Mr. Collins' conduct of office and connections in Sacramento. In an exchange of letters, Mr. Collins told Mr. Murdy he would "look to (Murdy) for any damages that might accrue" from the statements. Mr. Murdy, in his reply, said pressure has been exerted on the voters of Orange county by state lobbyists interested in Mr. Collins' election. Mr. Collins resides in Fullerton. Some blood-pressure was raised in the Faulkner-McFadden contest when Mr. Faulkner insisted Mr. McFadden, county supervisor incumbent, is responsible in part for lack of flood control measures in this area. Friends of Mr. McFadden replied that the supervisor was not directly charged with flood control. Mr. Faulkner lives near Buena Park, Mr. McFadden resides in Placentia. A NIP-AND-TUCK race which might resolve into an Anaheim vs. Fullerton affair is expected in the John Shea-Lloyd Verry vote for municipal court judge. Both men are highly regarded (Continued on Page 5) Building Increase Shown in May Anaheim building permit valuations to date this year have more than doubled those of the corresponding period of 1951, it was reported today by Building Inspector Homer Wallace.

Last month 33 permits were issued, totaling $142,810, among them permits for 10 single and one duplex dwellings valued at $102,-500. The total for May 1951 was... Dope Suspects Held in Santa Ana SAN DIEGO, (P) — Federal authorities said one suspected arctic smuggler was held here and two sent to Santa Ana today as a result of a weekend border patrol chase. Held for the FBI were Charles Jesse Thompson, 26, and Thomas Jefferson Pleasant, 25, and a woman, Mrs. W. B. Williams, 23, in Santa Ana. All were from Los Angeles. Border patrol inspectors said the suspects attempted to escape an automobile stolen from a customs officer on this side of the Tijuana border. It was wrecked by Thompson a few miles away in Nestor. Pleasant and Mrs. Williams were arrested after their car overturned in Tustin, near Santa Ana, the officers said. The three suspects were quoted by the officers as denying any knowledge of an ounce of heroin found in weeds near where they were first seen coming across the border. WERDEL AND BROWN have hammered at a similar theme—that they'll release their delegates immediately after the election. Warren has said he'll release his delegates if it becomes apparent that he has no hope of winning the nomination. The Eisenhower volunteers organization has endorsed Warren. Some Taft supporters are backing Werdel, who accuses Warren of advocating New Deal policies. Taft has declared himself neutral. Warren, calling repeatedly for a forward-looking GOP platform, characterizes his opposition as a campaign of hate. Voters out of a record primary registration of 5,383,521 also will nominate candidates for one seat in the U.S. Senate, 30 in the House and 100 in the state legislature. Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan estimates 68 per cent or 3,600,000 voters will turn up at the 19,726 polling places. 360 TRAFFIC DEATHS By The Associated Press Death rode the nation's highways this Memorial Day weekend as never before. The toll of dead from traffic crashes during the three-day holiday skyrocketed to $60, an all-time high for any Memorial Day weekend in the nation's history. Permits were issued for six store buildings costing $49,712; four office buildings valued at $67,200; and three industrial buildings costing $33,262. One hospital permit, an addition to the county hospital, represented a value of $68,785. There were permits for three school buildings, representing a total of $292,500.
