VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANA Truman May Be Candidate For Senate While Republicans engaged in pre-convention skirmishing in Chicago, hints developed today that President Truman's name may be on the Democratic ballot in November—for senator. Influential public officials in Missouri indicated they believe that Truman may enter the race for the United States Senate as a substitute for J. E. (Buck) Taylor, Missouri attorney general, if Taylor wins the democratic nomination. Truman has said flatly that he will not be a candidate for the senate—or for President. Missouri critics of the President say, however, they expect the Truman-Taylor exchange to be arranged if the democratic presidential nominee turns out to be satisfactory to Truman. Taylor's friends deny any such deal. Truman's choice for the presi- Taylor wins the democratic nomination. Truman has said flatly that he will not be a candidate for the senate—or for President.

I'm going to say that our party cannot go before the public and ask for its votes unless it comes into court with clean hands." With this farewell to Denver, the general headed toward Chicago after saying he will "roar out across the country" for a clean and decent operation of the convention. Eisenhower declared he will have an "open door" to delegates at his Blackstone hotel headquarters and no appointments will be necessary for delegates to see him. Eisenhower said the fight in Chicago was not only to name a Republican presidential nominee—but also a fight to keep the party fit to lead the nation. Then he added: "And I'm going to say some things and raise some questions with every delegate I meet. Secular Education Termed as Bulwark Of U.S. Democracy DETROIT.. (P)—Mrs. Agnes E. Meyer, a member of the President's commission on higher education, today defended secular public education as a bulwark of American democracy. In a speech prepared for the National Education association convention here, Mrs. Meyer asserted that "clerical politicians are taking advantage of the mental confusion of our postwar era to regain their ancient privilege of controlling education." Mrs. Meyer urged the door be closed forever upon the use of public tax money for the support of private and parochial education. She said this could be done by constitutional amendment.

Hotels and Resorts Booked Solid Over Fourth Warns AAA LOS ANGELES (UP) — Motorists who have failed to make advance reservations may have to sleep in their cars or camp out, the Automobile Club of Southern California predicted today in forecasting the greatest three-day vacation period in the state's history. Facilities at most hotels and resorts already are sold out, the club said, with out-of-state motorists joining Californians in holiday trips. Others injured were Dan Zema, 16, his sister Judy Zema, 15, Delbert Cannon, 15, and Charles Watts, 15, all of El Monte. Bud J. Tout, 32, of 9702 Holder rd., Cypress, received minor injuries at 4:20 p.m. yesteday when his car collided with a car driven by Jennie Funel, 47, 6801 Orange ave., Cypress. The collision took place at the intersection of Orange ave. and Holder rd. Mrs. Meyer urged the door be closed forever upon the use of public tax money for the support of private and parochial education. She said this could be done by constitutional amendment. "We must close the door first," she said, "against the present attempts of the Catholic hierarchy and reactionary protestants to force our people to support sectarian schools whose rapid increase would destroy our non secular school and tear our nation into irreconcilable factions. "The costs of private and parochial education are mounting steadily. Few American girls wish to become nuns. The vocations are decreasing, and the salaries of lay teachers are increasing every year. The cost of their schools, especially the secondary schools, is a crushing burden upon the millions of poor Catholics. If the Catholic laity realize that they will have to bear the total economic weight of the parochial schools in perpetuity their attitude toward these schools will become more realistic." Public tax support of private schools, Mrs. Meyer contended, would undermine the public school system and substitute "a series of feeble, jealous and antagonistic church school systems, each largely intent on teaching it own church doctrines and struggling for an increasing share of public funds." "Public education," she went on, "is called 'godless,' immoral and secularistic only by people incapable of understanding its noble purposes to keep this nation free and united."

It voted 58 to 43 to seat four GOP Chairman Rejects Proposed Delegate Seating Rule Changes Red Negotiators Offer New Plan On Prisoners MUNSAN, Korea. (UP)—Communist negotiators today offered a new plan for breaking the Korean Bruce talks deadlock, but an Allied spokesman said the proposal contains a "lot of gimmicks and potential gimmicks." Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison, Jr., said the Red plan "may be an important one and it may not." The Reds indicated they would ease their demand for all military prisoners in United Nations lockdown, provided the 20,000 whose captives are returned, they asked for secret sessions to discuss the proposal. Harrison, the senior Allied negotiator, immediately called for adjournment until Friday (9 p.m., ST Thursday) to study it. He did not reply to the Communist command for secret sessions. Young Hostage's Recovery Rapid Garey Kauffman, Jr., the 22-year-old Costa Mesa boy, who was shot through the brain when his father was slain in a gun battle with police at Costa Mesa last day morning, is improving more mildly at the county hospital today.

He is quite lively now," said CHICAGO (UP)—GOP National Chairman Guy George Gabrielson today rejected the request of 23 Republican governors that he support a proposed change in rules for seating contested delegates at next week's party convention. Gabrielson thus aligned himself with Sen. Robert A. Taft and took a position opposite that of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's leading supporters. Meanwhile, Sen. Robert A. Taft's top campaign command disagreed sharply today with a statement from 23 Republican governors who took sides with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower on a critical convention issue. Two of them said they believe the governors were unaware of the implications of the proposal. The governors signed a statement at Houston, Texas, yesterday urging Republican national convention managers to bar contested state delegations from voting on any other delegate disputes.
