City-county reorganization . . . It now looks like a legislative ruckus over California's inferior court system, on the financial side, will develop at the 1953 session of the legislature. This stems from the fact that the new system, effected by the legislature in many of California's counties during the 1951 session as a result of a mandate of the people, is placing a financial burden on California counties which they feel the cities of the state should share. Under the present formula, cities are relieved of all the costs of operation of the inferior courts, but they still receive a 100 per cent of vehicle code fines, and 80 per cent of all other fines imposed when the arrests are made by city officers. This situation is not looked upon with great favor by counties. All of which does not add up to any great cheering on the part of the county taxpayers, who use the courts less frequently than do the residents of cities, and this, despite the fact it was known before the court reorganization program ever was voted that it would cost more money than the old system. THE COUNTY Supervisors association is approaching the problem objectively, and plans an extensive survey in collaboration with the League of California Municipalities and the legislative committees as soon as the new system has had a six months try-out, and the survey undoubtedly will provide some interesting facts for the legislature to consider. WASHINGTON — The House has been following great interest—to put it mildly General Eisenhower's maiden forts in the political arena. The president, who confided pleasantly with Eisenhower two days before the Abbe speech, was not exactly prepared for the smack-in-the-jaw attack which his administration got from the man he had urged to run on the Democrat ticket. However, he gave visible sign of being peevend. In fact, on the morning Ike's Abilene blast, the president got off a wisecrack indicating "Mister" Eisenhower had a bit to learn yet about politics. Talking to Eric Johnston, of the Point Four program helping backward areas, Troy said that after he left the House he wanted to associate himself actively with Johnston's work. He praised the way Johnston getting American experts to increase agriculture and improve production in Asia and Africa then added: "You know General Eisenhower thinks he can solve these problems with birth control." "I told him," continued President, "'you make that spice in Boston, general, and the Democratic party will carry Mr. chuseets by 200,000 votes.'" OLD COMRADES WATCH — In the Pentagon, some of General Eisenhower's old comrades watched his Abdul-Malik. counties which they feel the titles of the state should share. Under the present formula, cities are relieved of all the costs of operation of the inferior courts, but they still receive a 100 per cent of vehicle code fines, and 25 per cent of all other fines imposed when the arrests are made by city officers. This situation is not looked upon with great favor by counties where the new system is in effect, particularly in Los Angeles county, where testimony before an assembly sub-committee indicated that net additional cost increase of 124 per cent has been noted since 1950-51. The committee also was told the increase did not take into consideration another 65 per cent increase in marshal and constable costs, nor a two million dollar court construction program and extra costs for courts not yet organized. SIMILARLY, other counties testified to increased costs. Imperial county, for example, said that in the first three months of operation, there was a net increase of $10,000. Cities in that county took $22,400 in revenue from the courts, but the county received only $7680. In San Bernardino county, court costs increased to the extent of a cent and a half on the tax rate. Other counties are turning up with similar THE COUNTY Supervisors association is approaching the problem objectively, and plans an extensive survey in collaboration with the League of California Municipalities and the legislative committees as soon as the new system has had a six months try-out, and the survey undoubtedly will provide some interesting facts for the legislature to consider. In addition to paying the court costs, the county is required to furnish suitable quarters for the municipal and justice courts, including heating, lighting and janitorial services. Counties have been providing such quarters for superior courts for many years, so this is nothing new but does represent an added burden on the taxpayer. Meanwhile, some observers contend that the showing on the court situation only adds to the contention that the present city-county form of government is arcane, and that sweeping changes are needed to modernize local governments in California. It is admitted that the court reorganization was a step in this direction, but that combining some functions, while others remain separate is only a piecemeal accomplishment of a job which eventually would be a benefit to taxpayers and government alike.

The latter was some weeks ago thought to be on his death bed, but has pulled himself together sufficiently to answer summons for the trial. The other day he came down town from the hospital to be shaved. OLD COMRADES WATCH —In the Pentagon, some of oureral Eisenhower's old command-at-arms watched his Abilene speech and press conference on the keenest interest. They interested not only because I favor Ike personally, but also cause they are a bit worried about the idea of a military man fighting mixed up in politics. After the Abilene events over and like had put himself record for General MacArthur criticized the loss of China, friend recalled an incident World War II when Gen. George Marshall, then Chief of Summoned Eisenhower. Marshall personally had planned the New African campaign, but with telling Eisenhower what he in mind, he called him in showed him a map on which charted the North African strategy. “What do you think of Ike Marshall asked. “It looks OK. to me,” replied the younger man. “You'd better think so,” she back Marshall. “You're going to be in command.” That was the biggest break Eisenhower's life. It put him on the road to being a national hero and the presidency. MacARTHUR VS. MARSHA —Yet, at Abilene, Ike's old coades pointed out, Ike blasted China policy, knowing full that General Marshall, as a bassader to China, had first that policy; then later, as secretary of state, he carried it off and finally, as secretary of defense, he vigorously opposed MacArthur policy of arming Chinese nationalists, building up Mosaa, and going all-out Chiang Kai-Shek. Old military friends of Ike and Marshall also recalled that thinks he can solve these problems with birth control. "I told him," continued President, "you make that spike in Boston, general, and the Democratic party will carry Massachusetts by 200,000 votes." Mr. Buck of Santa Ana has lately made a sale of 1050 sacks of barley at $1.75. A committee under the direction of the chief of the fire company made a thorough examination of all the wells within the fire limits yesterday, with a view of ascertaining the amount of water which could be relied upon in case of fire. We were not able to learn the result of their investigations. Mr. F. P. Forster has purchased about 7000 wethers from the San Joaquin ranch and is shipping them to San Francisco by rail at the rate of 1000 per week. The ladies interested in the Sabbath school of the Presbyterian church will sell ice-cream for the benefit of the school on Thursday next in the building opposite the bank. Mr. Olden sold eighty acres of land near the Coyote ranch last week. Mr. Tim Carroll has finished setting out trees on the school-house lot. Anyone having a double seated covered wagon which they will rent for one month can hear of a customer by applying at this office. A fine horse belonging to Mr. S. Sheffield died yesterday from the effects of lockjaw. In Santa Barbara county the other day two thousand sacks of potatoes were sold for ten cents per sack. Deputy sheriff Sleeper was in town on Tuesday summoning jurors in the case of Coyote Reyes, charged with thrusting a poinard into the vitals of Steve Barker. The latter was some weeks ago thought to be on his death bed, but has pulled himself together sufficiently to answer summons for the trial. The other day he came down town from the hospital to be shaved. Andy Fuhrberg has imported a ping-pong layout and now entertains the customers at his place of business with the newest society fad. Andy is resolved to keep in the swim even if we do have high license. 25 Years Ago May 1927 Assemblyman C. D. Ball, president of the Orange County Historical Society and Miss Florence Summers appeared before the county supervisors Tuesday to make a request that quarters might be arranged in the county hall of records to house a museum of historical relics of Orange county. Chairman William Schumacher appointed Supervisor S. H. Finley to ascertain if a room adjoining the county library could be utilized. Dr. Ball stressed the need of preserving historical relics of the county and, in that connection paid tribute to two veteran—newspapermen of the county, Samuel Armor of Orange and Henry Kuchel of Anaheim. "Were it not for Samuel Armor and the old files of the Anaheim Gazette published by Henry Kuchel, this county would be virtually without record of the first 38 years of its history." Dr. Ball declared. Old military friends of Ikebana and Marshall also recalled that the bitterest feeling exists between MacArthur and like's own benefactor Marshall; and that Marshall supported President Truman in firing MacArthur Yet at Abilene, Eisenhower his mind in politics, indicated that he would reappoint MacArthur—if elected president. Military men, of course, do understand politics. If so, his or friends in the Pentagon might have been more charitable. But not being politicians, a being fond of their old chief, General Marshall, they also recall that the most vicious attack ever mande on General Marshall was 60,000-word diatribe on the floor of the Senate by McCarthy in Wisconsin. Under the cloak of privilege McCarthy called Marshall even name in the book, even accusing him of cowardice. Later, McCarthy collected enough money to have the speech privately printed in book form, and it's now being circulated throughout Wisconsin. Yet, when Eisenhower was asked about the senator who so bribed castigated his old friend, Ike refused to "engage in personal ties." And it was George Marshall more than anyone else except Gen. Al Wedemeyer who urged more support for China. He was WASHINGTON — The White House has been following with interest—to put it mildly—General Eisenhower's maiden efforts in the political arena. The president, who conferred casually with Eisenhower just days before the Abilene speech, was not exactly prepared for the smack-in-the-jaw attack which his administration from the man he had once led to run on the Democratic ticket. However, he gave no visible sign of being peeved. Fact, on the morning after Abilene blast, the president affirmed a wise crack indicating that "Eisenhower had quite to learn yet about politics." Being to Eric Johnston, head of the Point Four program for going backward areas, Truman that after he left the White he wanted to associate him actively with Johnston's work. Raised the way Johnston was using American experts to help ease agriculture and improve production in Asia and Africa, added: "I know General Eisenhower he can solve these problems birth control." Told him," continued the agent, "'you make that speech Eisenhower, general, and the Demo-party will carry Massa-tts by 200,000 votes'." COMRADES WATCH IKE the Pentagon, some of Gen-Eisenhower's old comrades watched his Abilene BUT HOW ABOUT THE BROOM? NO WITCH HUNTS! CLEAN UP ATT. GEN M. GRANERY MORRIE THE Sacramento Scene By HENRY C. MacARTHUR Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO, (CNS) — California's primary election was the big news in Sacramento last week, with state-wide attention centered primarily on the walk-away by Governor Earl Warren for the Republican delegation, and Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee for the Democratic delegation. The two victories on the Republican and Democratic tickets, in the opinion of many, signalized the desire of the public to vote for a person rather than a delegation. The Werdel group challenged Governor Warren on grounds that a "free" delegation should go to the national convention to cast ballots for the presidential nominee. A similar claim was made by the Edmund G. "Pat" Brown Democratic group. The overwhelming majority against both the so-called "free" delegations attested primarily, it was believed, to the desire of the people for a candidate, and secondly, to the personal popularity of Governor Warren in California. For despite all the charges leveled at the governor during the campaign, none of which was of a serious nature, the Werdel group comparatively speaking, failed to muster a "hatful" of votes. D. McKinnon, former San Diego publisher, for the senatorial nomination, against the popular Senator William Knowland of Oakland, proved a boomerang when Knowland took both party nominations. Thus McKinnon, a Congressman, is out of the political picture for the time being. STATE SENATE: Only upset in the state Senate races was the defeat of Sam Collins, speaker of the house, who sought a senatorial seat from Orange county. Collins was defeated for both nominations by John A. Murdy, Jr., who succeeds Senator Clyde Watson, retired. Collins was a heavy favorite to win both nominations, and according to reports in Sacramento, only realized during the last few days of the campaign that he had a fight on his hands. Fred Weybret, Monterey county senator faces a run-off, and for the new Kings county senator, a Republican and Democrat will fight it out. Swift Berry, El Dorado county, was elected, taking both party nominations, as was Donald Grunsky, Watsonville, unopposed. Within the memory of old-timers around the Capitol, Grunsky is the only brand-new state senator who ever went into office without opposition. However, his friends concede that he deserves the honor, in view of the fact he has been a hard-working and effective assemblyman since his arrival in the legislative halls. Grunsky succeeds H. R. Judah, Santa Cruz, retired. THE ASSEMBLY: In the lower house, 15 new assemblymen have been elected, and there is the possibility of six more, for six assemblymen in the senate and was defeated for senate and immediately won the defeated four Democrats by wide margins; only ex-assemblyman this year, although no sought seats. Dominance of the Republican party for the GOP has 43 seats ready elected, while crazes have only 20. Were in doubt, Democrats won them all, could swing a majority. Senate has a Republica paradox in a state with majority Democratic seats. POSSIBLE SPECIAL SION: Strong pressure exerted on Governor Elden to call a special session legislature within the two or two for reconsider school bond issue of $10 to provide funds for school districts. The plan not loath to call the new wants assurance they will take care of their quickkly, and avoid a fight such as occurrence March session, when they refused to accede amendments writing into the constitution, and issue amendment went bankrupt. Virtually all legislators public realize there is more school space, and from the Department of bolstered this realization; the governor was told distressed districts are 900 short of meeting their needs. General Marshall, as amidor to China, had first set policy; then later, as secretral state, he carried it out; finally, as secretary of deference vigorously opposed the thur policy of arming Chi-nationalists, building up For-land and going all-out for Kai-Shek. Military friends of Ike's Marshall also recalled that better feeling exists be-ween MacArthur and Ike's old vector Marshall; and that all supported President McArthur. At Abilene, Eisenbower, and in politics, indicated he would reappoint Mac-Arthur if elected president. Many men, of course, don't stand politics. If so, his old man in the Pentagon might even more charitable. Not being politicians, and kind of their-old chief, General Marshall, they also recalled the most vicious attack ever on General Marshall was a word diatribe on the floor Senate by McCarthy of印尼. In the cloak of privilege, they called Marshall every day of the book, even accusing Howardice Later, McCarthy is enough money to have each privately printed in印尼, and it's now being cir-throughout Wisconsin. When Eisenhower was ask-ing the senator who so bit-igated his old friend, Ike into "engage in personali-ity" was George Marshall an anyone else except Wedemeyer who urged support for China. He was so vigorous that in the late summer of 1943, the astute Churchill urged Roosevelt to appoint Marshall commander-in-chief of the Allied armies for the big cross-channel invasion. He knew that with Marshall absorbed in the European theatre he would forget his efforts to push the campaign in China. Had Marshall encouraged that proposal, he not Eisenhower, would have been the hero of Europe, and there would have been no speech at Abilene last week. The presidential vote means the Warren delegation will stay with the governor as long as possible at the national convention, after which it will be released to vote as the members choose if there is no chance of nominating Warren. A similar situation exists on the Democratic side of the picture, for the California delegation will stay with the Tennessee candidate either until he receives the nomination, or there is no chance of his becoming the Democratic candidate. The Kefauver victory brought no joy to the old-line Democrats in California, who will be unseated from power if Kefauver should become president. U.S. SENATE: The boom put on by the Democrats for Clinton so vigorous that in the late summer of 1943, the astute Churchill urged Roosevelt to appoint Marshall commander-in-chief of the Allied armies for the big cross-channel invasion. He knew that with Marshall absorbed in the European theatre he would forget his efforts to push the campaign in China. Had Marshall encouraged that proposal, he not Eisenhower, would have been the hero of Europe, and there would have been no speech at Abilene last week. THE ASSEMBLY: In the lower house, 15 new assemblymen have been elected, and there is the possibility of six more, for six assemblymen face runoffs in different sections of the state. In one instance, the absentee bailouts will decide the issue. This is the fight between Francis Lindsay, (R), sixth district incumbent, and challenger Bliss K. Harper, (D). The race is so close authorities are unable to say who has won the Democratic nomination, although Lindsay has the Republican ticket in the bag. In the second district, the Democrates nominated the late Lester Davis, who died during the campaign. California elections laws permit the Democrat central committee to nominate a candidate, and there will be a run-off in this district. Earle Stanley, Orange, and A. L. Stewart, Pasadena, both old-line Republicans, face runoffs, and Clayton Dills, Los Angeles, will runoff with a Republican candidate. One familiar figure will be missed in the Assembly. This is Ed Gaffney, San Francisco, who was edged out of the picture through the reshuffling of districts in 1951. In Gaffney's district, veteran George D. Collins (D) will contest with Republican Samuel W. Wichlow. In Sacramento county's Ninth district, Roy J. Nileen secured both nominations. Nielsen, a former assemblyman, ran again after an absence of ten years from the legislature. He had served 16 ever, his friends concede that he deserves the honor, in view of the fact he has been a hard-working and effective assemblyman since his arrival in the legislative halls.

H. G. Wells' Invasion by Martians Will Now Scare Movie Audiences By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD, (P) — They're blowing up a large part of Los Angeles over at Paramount. The City Hall came down in rubble recently. Now they're leveling various other landmarks. All this takes place on a movie set, of course. But when it appears on the screen, it will look like a Martian invasion for sure. This is the latest chapter in the life of a literary work that has a long and chilling history. It is H. G. Wells' "War of the Worlds," which shivered Victorian readers when it was first published in 1898. The book depicted the invasion of London by octopus-like creatures from Mars. Orson Welles in the days when he was really a wonder boy, put the story on radio, shifting the locale to New York. He did it in documentary style, as though it were actually happening. Some citizens of New Jersey, where the invasion was supposed to have started, were reportedly scared out of their socks. Now it's a film version. The producer is George Pal, who has created such fantasia as "Destination Moon" and "When Worlds Collide." He has the Martians landing in the California desert and marching on Los Angeles. "I wanted them to land in the desert," he explained, "because the reports of flying saucers and other phenomenon have so often happened over the desert." years in the senate and assembly, was defeated for senator in 1940 and immediately was elected to the Sacramento city council. He defeated four Democratic opponents by wide margins, and is the only ex-assemblyman returning this year, although two others sought seats. Dominance of the Assembly by the Republican party will continue for the GOP has 43 members already elected, while the Democrats have only 20. With 17 seats in doubt, Democrats even if they won them all, could not hope to swing a majority. Likewise, the Senate has a Republican majority, a paradox in a state which has a majority Democratic registration. POSSIBLE SPECIAL SESSION: Strong pressures are being exerted on Governor Earl Warren to call a special session of the legislature within the next week or two for reconsideration of a school bond issue of $250,000,000, to provide funds for distressed school districts. The governor is not loath to call the session, but wants assurance the legislature will take care of the matter quickkly, and avoid a cat and dog fight such as occurred at the March session, when the Assembly refused to accept Senate amendments writing restrictions into the constitution, and the bond issue amendment went down the drain. Virtually all legislators and the public realize there is need for more school space, and a report from the Department of Education bolstered this realization when the governor was told that 1070 distressed districts are $244,346,000 short of meeting their needs They lose the will to learn. This puzzles children. They can't understand why grownups aren't as eager for information as they are. Nina looks like an exclamation point and she is a living question mark. Questions pour out of her from dawn to dusk, searching queries of a little girl trying to decipher the magic of life. WHAT DOES a young lady "going on five" want to know? Well, her mother scotchtaped a piece of paper on the kitchen wall and scribbled down the questions Nina asked. Here are a few from a two-day total: "Why is it black when the fire goes out?" "How do you get hungry?" "Why does everybody in the world have to go to church and Sunday school?" "Do you love us (Nina and her sister) even when we are bad?" "Do snakes come in houses?" "Are there any lions and tigers in the whole world?" "Why do people need lights?" "If we ate something at someone else's house and you didn't want us to, how would you know?" "Why don't mommies go to school?" "What color are crows' eyes?" "How do people make people? How do people get in the whole world?" "Why is there a moon in the morning?" "How does your nose get dirty?" "Why do we have two cars and not just one?" "How do you get measles?" "How do you forget?" THE MOTHER gave me the slip of paper and suggested that, if I wanted to carry out my duty as a godfather, I might start in supplying Nina with the answers. But after studying the questions, I put the paper in my pocket and decided to drop the project. What that child needs is five or six encyclopedias. We went for a walk and Nina said: "Hal, who turns off the fireflies after I go to bed?" Before I could stutter out an Now it's a film version. The producer is George Pal, who has created such fantasia as "Destination Moon" and "When Worlds Collide." He has the Martians landing in the California desert and marching on Los Angeles. "I wanted them to land in the desert," he explained, "because the reports of flying saucers and other phenomenon have so often happened over the desert." PAL'S MARTIANS arrive in a saucer-like flying ship. They have several crab-like legs, the producer reasoning that the Martians evolved from crabs instead of monkeys. The invaders wreak their havoc by means of death and destruction rays causing dread vibrations. All this calls for some fantastic film-making. Gordon Jennings, who wrecked the temple in "Samson and Delilah," among other things, says he has more special effects in "War of the Worlds" than in any film during his 28 years in the studios. Pal is convinced that science fiction films are not a passing fancy. "It's no fad," he remarked. "I think good science fiction films will continue as a regular kind of picture, just like western and musicals. But they have to be good. The time has passed when producers can grind out cheap science fiction films and expect them to sell." Pal has to keep on his toes for two very good reasons—his sons, 10 and 14. They are science-fiction fans and will rap their father for any boners in his films. Fremont School To Graduate 193 Students Fremont Junior High school will graduate 193 students tomorrow at 7 p.m. in exercises to be held in the Greek Theater of Anaheim City park. Salutatorian and valedictorian will be Ann Thomason and June Can Dodgers Blow Another 13½ Game Lead? If the Brooklyn Dodgers are not careful, they may find themselves 13½ games in front of the New York Giants on Aug. 11. And is there anybody who doesn't know what happened to the poor Brooks after that date last year? Even so, Manager Charlie Dressen of the dauntless Dodgers is willing to gamble with such a long lead. He agrees that the Giants' unprecedented 1951 rush to the top in a playoff victory over the Brooks was nothing short of a miracle. And miracles just don't happen twice in a row this modern day and age. Dressen undoubtedly recalls an embarrassing query put to him by a veteran sports columnist in Tampa, Fla., last spring: "How are you going to contrive to blow a 13½-game lead this year, Chuck?" Dressen stiffed at the question. He started to frame a reply, but thought better of it, and checked a hot retort. It was obvious to all within earshot that the question cut Chuck to the quick. Referring to that incident later, Dressen vowed grimly in the presence of intimates: "Just give me any kind of a lead in the middle of August and nobody will catch us. I guarantee that right now." Currently, the Dodgers are playing a better brand of baseball than they did at a corresponding time a year ago. They're playing remarkable .701 ball with 35 victories in 46 games. Last year they were 30-18 for .852—more than 100 points lower. To Graduate 193 Students Fremont Junior High school will graduate 193 students tomorrow at 7 p.m. in exercises to be held in the Greek Theater of Anaheim City park. Salutatorian and valedictorian will be Ann Thomason and June Roddam, respectively. Student speakers, following the graduation theme "Good Citizenship Demands Action," are the following, with the titles of their talks: Kay Schmitt, "Family Citizenship"; Joan Stabbert, "Community Citizenship"; and Richard Blankmeyer, "American Citizenship." Tom Henry, Jr., will be moderator. Principal Chester Fowler will present members of the class to Elementary School Board Chairman H. H. Stabbert and T. A. Henry, who will present the diplomas. Presentation of American Legion awards will be made by Maj. Charles Schmitt, who will be introduced by School Superintendent Paul W. Cook. The Rev.
