Chamber Speaker Raps Anaheim Shopping Center Speaking to the monthly membership meeting of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce this noon Don Gelsert of the Kawnee C.O.F.D. of Los Angeles was brutally frightened in advising the city council, service groups, Chamber, etc. of Anaheim to modernize the downtown section or they will be in "retrouble." "Anaheim is proud of having beaten the parking problem." He said, "but the real reason there is so much parking space down town is that local merchants aren't getting their share of the area's business." Residents around Anaheim, he said, have $12,000,000 to spend but Anaheim merchants aren't getting their share of it. Gelsert noted that "dingy Anaheim store fronts hide advantages the local merchant has to offer." Gelsert was introduced by Chamber Manager Earnie Moeller.

Lovett is due tonight to inspect Southern California’s aircraft production facilities, including the struck plants at Douglas at El Segundo and Lockheed at Burbank. He is on a tour of air facilities in the Southwest. May Mean Peace There were some reports that his visit might pave the way for a peace move to confer tomorrow with officials of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation and Douglas Aircraft Company. Officials of the striking AFL International Association of Machinists said they “will make every effort to contact him while he is here.” Strike Spreads Yesterday the strike in Burbank spread as AFL culinary workers bartenders and teamsters respected the IAM picket lines.

The terminal facilities are adjacent to the main offices and plants of the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation where the IAM went on strike at El Segundo began Sept. 15. Approximately 40,000 employees are involved in the two strikes. The union is asking wage boosts at both plants. Negotiations are stalled. Issues Appeal At Lockheed, President Robert E. Gross issued an indirect appeal for all workers to return to their jobs. He proposed an in-plant election conducted by an impartial body to permit all Lockheed employees in the IAM bargaining unit to vote by secret ballot on a subsequent offer by the company.

Some precincts have accumulated such a heavy registration that two election boards operated in them for the June primary. A number of such precincts have since been divided, but there was not sufficient time to cover the entire county and many precincts still will have double election boards in November. Smith stated: All having more than 400 voters will be so operated. The new total of precincts for the approaching general election is 338. Further division of precincts will be carried on after the biennial purge of voting lists, in which those voters who failed to cast ballots at either the June primary or November general election will be dropped from the registration lists. Thousands are dropped after each general election, being required to register again before they are eligible to vote.
