National American Legion Begins 'Quiet War' on 'Subversive' Books Local officials of the American Legion say they have not been officially notified as yet of a Legion plan to donate patriotic and anti-communist books to schools and libraries. Under the plan, called a "quiet war" by Donald Wilson, national commander of the Legion, the books against communism will bear the legend: Federal, State Funds Sought For Health Group Orange county will try again to get federal and state funds to help build the county's proposed new health and clinic building, first planned unit of the civic center group of courthouse buildings. Dr. Edward Lee Russell, county health officer, has been authorized by the Board of Supervisors to make another application for funds, several previous applications having failed because the money went to other counties and cities. The proposed $650,000 building will be erected with or without outside financial aid, Chairman Willis Warner of the supervisors said. Since the building will be designed for long-time needs, the statute probably would not pay the full two-thirds of the cost but in memory of (here the name of an American killed in Korea) who made the supreme sacrifice fighting communism in Korea, that all men may continue to enjoy the blessings of freedom." The American Legion has been concerned with what they call subversive statements in school books and in books in libraries. WIDESPREAD attacks have been made in recent months on school books and other reading materials by various organizations. The attacks have been based on the grounds that the texts contain subversive passages or have been written by authors suspected of un-American ways. In some instances throughout the nation librarians have been persuaded to remove textbooks or not to order materials that might create a controversy in the community. Self-appointed committees, without legal censorship power, are being organized in many areas to "screen" books. Books that have been in use for years suddenly become suspect when an unfavorable review appears in print. Educators feel the "censorship" groups are tied to a widespread attack on the public schools. For example, one of the most formidable forces against the public schools in Orange county, the Santa Ana Register, seizes upon any opportunity to assail the public school system. Restroom Wall Ruled a Medium For Publication SACRAMENTO, (CNS)—Whatever the face on the barroom floor can't by any stretch of the imagination be called illegal, the same isn't true of the verse on the restroom wall, according to a ruling of the third district court of a peals, handed down here yesterday. A suit for $100,000 against the Hy Dee Ho Club, near Roseville Placer county, was filed by Mr. Isabelle Hellar. The suit charges that obscene statements concerning Mrs. Hellar were written on the wall, and that Mr. and Mr. Joe Bianco, owners of the club, were responsible for republication of the alleged libel. The third district court of appeals sent the case back to Place county court, concluding that it must decide whether the owner of the club were negligent, since the bar-tender failed to remove the libel from the rest room wall after being requested to by Mr. Hellar's husband. The court conceded the "defamatory and false" nature of the writing, and said the comment were "libelous matter indicating that the appellant was an unchastity woman who indulged in illicit amatory ventures." "Persons who invite the public to their premises," the opinion said, "owe a duty to others not to permit knowingly their walls to be occupied with defamatory matter." The proposed $650,000 building will be erected with or without outside financial aid, Chairman Willis Warner of the supervisors said. Since the building will be designed for long-time needs, the state probably would not pay the full two-thirds of the cost but would limit its allocation to present-day needs, if an award is made, Warner predicted. Site of the proposed health building is at Eighth and Ross streets, the northwest corner of the civic center area. The supervisors also have authorized plans for a welfare department building, of nearly identical design and cost, at Sixth and Ross streets, southwest corner of the area.

"Whitman," he said, "was still a humble clerk in Washington, a writer whose literary efforts had not yet attracted wide attention when his" Leaves of Grass" fell into the hands of Ivan Turgenev. Turgenev was, of course, one of Russia's great men of letters. "The Russian writer," said Melesov, "was so impressed with the poetry of the 'astonishing American poet' that he undertook the translation of several of the poems into Russian.

VET "LITTERED" BY MUMPS SAN DIEGO, Calif., U.P. — The "doughnut king" of Korea, Pfc.

"They insisted I be carried off as a litter case," Luenek said, "even though I felt so glad at being back I could have carried the two corpsmen who were packing me." Lueken toured the war front in a "doughnut wagon" that turned out 2500 sinkers at a time: He was assigned to Special Services and was master of ceremonies for Jack Benny shows in Korea.
