Community Chest Solicitation Downtown to be Divided Four Ways In order to simplify matters for both business firms and Community Chest solicitors, Chest officials have divided the business section of Anaheim into four subdistricts for the business solicitation which begins Friday. The dividing point has been established at the intersection of Los Angeles and Anaheim streets. The tremendous amount of complete solicitation will be handled in separate districts under sub or co-captains, who head up the Business Division of the campaign with Gene Steck as coordinating captain for the division. A three-fold solicitation, including the firm, supervisors, and all employees in the business establishments, is expected to aid in avoiding duplicate solicitation because persons contributing at their work will be given the Red Feather sticker, which, when displayed in the window at their homes, will inform the residential solicitor that the resident has already made his contribution. A meeting has been called for all business solicitors recently recruited from the various service clubs and other organizations and individuals who have designated business solicitations to meet at the Fremont cafeteria. Thursday they plan to receive their folders and instructions. Stock and Campaign Co-chairman Paul Cook have scheduled a “short and snappy” meeting which will include a short moving picture depicting the function of the Community Chest and the Red Feather agencies, which is expected to further inform the solicitors of their duties. SA to Prosecute Gamblers Under City Ordinance Santa Ana police, who raided a draw poker game early Tuesday morning and arrested 15 persons on a charge of violating a state law, only to find that there was no such law covering draw poker, resorted to a city ordinance today to carry on the prosecution. City Attorney John K. Colwell knew about the city ordinance, which covers all gambling, except those games “defined and mentioned” in the state gambling statue, Sec. 330 of the penal code. Draw poker is the one gambling game not mentioned in the state statute, which lists all those it prohibits. Therefore, draw poker is covered by the city ordinance, Colwell decided. IYI May Not Lease Grounds to National Guard Officers of Investment in Your Inc., which governs the use of grounds and buildings of the organization at N. Olive st. and N. Palma ave., today expressed surprise and dismay at a story calculated locally that IYI will lead the premises to the national guard. One of the officials of IYI said the national guard has contacted the board of directors concerning use of the premises; the military unit but that the manager has not been fully considered by the board and a decision to lease the premises was not reached. “The board has discussed it. But since it involves a departure from the original purpose of IYI this plan did not receive immediate approval. “Investment in Youth was established to foster organized youth programs, and we fully intend to keep it that way,” he said. At present we are carrying out our annual campaign for funds. I hope the national guard does not wreck our efforts. Right now we definitely are not counting on funds from the national guard. I'm sorry it came up.” Local Contractor Gets Street Work Oliver W. Scott, Anaheim contractor, late yesterday was awarded contracts for resurfacing two streets in Costa Mesa. His bid of $14,808.38 was the lowest of four bids submitted to the county supervisors, ranging officially adopted a resolution opposing Proposition 10 on the Nov. 4 ballot. The proposition, sponsored by George McLain of welfare amendmen fame, would seek to prohibit appropriation or expenditure of public funds. The city fathers pointed out that it would mean the end of the California League of Cities and the Supervisors Assn., as well as the California Chamber of Commerce. In its final statement, the resolution said the city considers the proposition "detrimental to all the people of the city of Anaheim, the county of Orange and the state of California. City Attorney John K. Colwell knew about the city ordinance, which covers all gambling, except those games "defined and mentioned" in the state gambling statute, Sec. 330 of the penal code. Draw poker is the one gambling game not mentioned in the state statute, which lists all those it prohibits. Therefore, draw poker is covered by the city ordinance, Colwell decided. He was preparing amended complaints against the 15 defendants, who will be arraigned next Tuesday before City Judge Ronald M. Crookshank in Santa Ana. They are presently at liberty on bail.

Called at 8 p.m. the meeting went its normal course and was adjourned late in the evening to Sept. 26 (Friday) when the council will hold a hearing on the Crescent st. annexation.

Thomas Kuchel Discusses Taxes, Federal 'Grabs' with Rotarians Government already is taking of every three dollars of the payers' income, state finances stretched to capacity, and if he of the propositions on the 4 ballot are approved by the vote, the state must raise more State Controller Thomas H. Helel of Anaheim told the Santa Rotary club yesterday. Without naming the party, Helel decried action by the Democratic state convention last month calling for repeal of the sales tax, which supplied 100,000 of revenue this year, far from half of the total tax acted by the state, which was 5,000.00. The sales tax, he is the only tax paid by a body of California citizens, warned local government that the trend toward seeking and more state subventions, being out the coincidence that 416 million collected in state taxes was exactly the same amount that the state sends back to counties and cities in state government now is dising just about as much revenas it takes it," said the conder, "and although some of our propositions on the Novemballot have real merit, if the people approve them it will require upward revision of the California revenue statutes to meet the added cost of state government." The sales tax is the largest source of state revenues, more than a million dollars a day. Bank and corporation taxes amount to $19 million a year, and personal income taxes $91 million, the speaker recited. The California taxpayers should a government tax burden at all levels of more than $6½ billion, including the top heavy federal tax levy of $4,600,000, the state's $1,095,000,000 and $864,-000,000 for local government, Kuchel said. Compared to the present $1,-095,000,000 state tax, the state tax levy 25 years ago was only $86,-000,000, said the controller. He struck at the federal government's steady attempts to encroach upon state resources, referring to the tideland issue, the Fallbrook water grab and the government's efforts in the Central valley project to control all state water rights. Kuchel, who formerly represented the 75th assembly district of Orange county in the state legislature (Continued on Page 6) City to Order Iron Water Pipe Anaheim city council last night authorized the advertising for bids on approximately $200,000 worth of cast iron water pipe.

It was announced at the meeting that Anaheim American Legion post 72 has given its unanimous endorsement and approval to the bond issues.
