Taft Makes Cabinet Suggestions to Ike at "Very Harmonious" Meeting By RELMAN MORIN NEW YORK (P)—Sen. Robert A. Taft said today after a "very harmonious meeting" with President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower that he had submitted recommendations for "two or three" cabinet appointments though no conclusions were reached. Taft also told newsmen it had been decided the presidential reorganization act, due to expire April 1, should be "extended for a year." On the Taft-Hartley law, the Ohio senator said "Til have amendments ready along the line of the 1949 amendments with some changes." He added that he, the general, and the proseptive speaker of the house, Rep. Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts, also discussed the expiring price, wage and rent control laws, but he declined to say what conclusions were reached. Taft refused to say what his cabinet recommendations were but he did add "I wouldn't say the general has made any decisions yet." In regard to the extension of the presidential reorganization act which expires April 1, Taft said that since Eisenhower will not take office until Jan. 20 he would not have time before April 1 if effect any changes he desires. The presidential reorganization act clears the way for the president to offer plans for streamlining and cutting overlaps in the operation of various executive branches of the government. For a few minutes Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire sat in with Taft and Martin as they conferred with the general. Eisenhower also was to see Sen. Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin Jack-Porter, Texas national commissioner, and Lewis K. Gougou of Pasadena, Calif., national commander of the American Legion. Daily Living for Peace of Mind Editors note: This is one of a series of daily articles by Anahlm ministers and is published by the Gazette in the interest of the kind of daily living that trades in contentment and happiness in troubled times. For Relief from Heavy Pressure REV. AL CASEBEER Anahlm Church of Christ "The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired so long as we can see far enough," (Emerson) People are living under heavy pressures these days. It is a constant struggle with the family budget, a constant worry because of world uncertainties. So that tired feeling at the close of the day may not be due just to overwork and vitamin deficiency but because life is lived with no horizon which lifts the eyes beyond the anxieties. Do you "see far enough?" "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence someth my help. My help cometh from the Lord." (Psalms 121:13).

GAZETTE PHOTO While not all of them felt they had derived exceptional personal benefits from the campaign, all agreed that the campaign gave them an opportunity of promoting the welfare of the city's organizations and the city itself and that it demonstrated to local residents that home-town merchants can serve them well and ably at home. Effectiveness of the campaign in stimulating business varied with the size and type of the business, according to opinions expressed in the poll. Anron Schultz Furniture Co., S.Q.R. Store, Ballman's Appliance store, Smith-Reafsnyder Furniture Co., Cone Bros. Chevrolet agency, Steffy Bulck agency, Meade and Sons Paint store and Jackson's Drug store were unanimous in attributing increased sales directly to the "Buy in Anaheim" campaign. As expressed by Earl Jackson of Jackson's Drug store, "The campaign did attract customers. In advertising of this kind," he explained, "a merchant can see concrete evidence of the response." Owners of establishments like Maxine's Beauty Salon, Dichman's Variety store, Nadorff Hardware store, Williams Shoe store, Kirk's Landscape Nursery, Max Royer's Prescription pharmacy, Schaeffer's Paint and Wallpaper store, Heyling's Drug store, Ballard's Womens Wear shop and Stairs Camera store felt that the benefits in increased sales were not so apparent, but that the campaign was justified by making Anaheimers conscious of the "buy at home" idea. Some felt that the campaign stimulated Christmas sales before the season had actually opened, mainly because eager partisans of the organizations wanted to "buy it now" to get the votes. Reynolds Meade of Meade and Sons said he has no doubt the campaign was a great success. "I believe," he stated, "that the public liked working for the votes, working for a common cause with no thought of personal gain. I, for one, would be glad to participate in another similar campaign."

Rupp, 18-year-old Yorba Linda sex-slayer, and the question was to be placed in the hands of his jury in Judge Kenneth E. Morrison's court at Santa Ana sometime this afternoon. If the jury finds young Rupp legally sane, a question on which psychiatrists disagreed in court, he will face the death penalty in San Quentin's gas chamber. The same jury convicted Rupp of first degree murder last week. Last evidence was presented to the jury this morning when Rupp's father, William F. Rupp, Sr., took the stand in his son's defense. He told the jury that the boy had an unnatural birth, contracted pneumonia when born, and was weak and backward, not being able to sit up until 15 months old and not walking until two years old. He had numerous childhood diseases until he was 8 years old and the family moved from Pennsylvania to California, the father said. Then the boy's health was better. But, said the father, he seemed mentally confused and below par in intelligence; kept to himself, and did not participate in sports or show interest in girls. They lived at Bellflower first, then in Cypress, where Rupp, at the age of 14, attempted to attack a Cypress housewife. Later they moved to Riverside, where young Rupp was again in trouble for attempting to run down a group of girls with his car. The Rupp family now reside in East Los Angeles. Final state witness was Dr. Alexander Grenall, research chemist for the Union Oil company, who lives next door to W. Perry Dyer, Rupp's employer, in whose home Rupp attempted to attack the babysitter, Ruby Ann Payne, 15, and then killed her. Dr. Grenall expressed the opinion that Rupp is sane. He testified that Rupp would lead work in the Dyer honey farm when left alone, and would visit with Dr. Grenall. Dyer appeared. Rupp would back to his work in the house, the witness said. Dyer testified yesterday that Rupp not dependable and would not when watched. As argument to the jury mentioned today, Public Defender N.D. Meyer waived his own address and Deputy District Attorney James P. Devine signed his summation of the case. Devine sharply attacked testimony of Dr. Samuel M. Los Angeles psychiatrist, testified yesterday that Rupp is insane. Devine pointed out that he had developed tradicions in Dr. Marcus' mony, pointing to the de written report to the court which he stated that Rupp insane, but is suffering from brain injury. The testimony of Dr. H. Tucker of Norwalk State hospital by contrast was clear and cise. Devine declared. Dr. Tucker and two other psychiatrist W. S. Musfelt and Dr. Harold both of Santa Ana, testified Rupp is legally sane. Dr. however, qualified his statement by saying that at the time of murder it is conceivable Rupp did not know right wrong.

Hanson and Bernard Jordan of Bank of America and Security-First National bank branches in Anaheim, respectively, were enthusiastic over the results of the Gazette's "Buy in Anaheim" campaign when interviewed today. "I personally thought the campaign was very interesting," Hanson said. "It definitely stimulated and encouraged local business, which is good for the community generally, and it prompted the 'buy at home' idea which is just good common sense. However, I believe the campaign would have been even more successful if the people had been reminded to get their votes more often when making purchases." "Anything of the nature of this 'Buy in Anaheim' campaign, which brings buying, spending dollars into Anaheim is a definite asset to the community," Jordan said. "Anaheim is a good place in which to live, shop and to raise children, and I am for whatever promotes that idea." Two Persons Hurt in Traffic Two persons were injured in orange county traffic accidents during the past 24 hours, including a West Anaheim resident, Guadalupe Vera, 21, 7651 Cerritos Ave. Vera was riding on a pickup truck driven by Akemi George Miake, 33, of the same address, long Stanton ave.
