Speaker Moves Local Methodist Youth To Promote Malayan Mission Campaign A day of happenstance meetings yesterday provided White Temple Methodist Youth Fellowship members with a new goal in their efforts to promote foreign missions. The MYF was expecting to hear a talk by a Los Angeles social worker affiliated with the MYF, but instead the speaker brought along an old classmate she had met by chance, who talked to the young people instead. The speaker was Joe Kennedy, an ex-national officer of the MYF, who was waiting in Los Angeles to catch a plane for Honolulu on his way to Singapore. Kennedy had been persuaded to extend his stay here long enough to address the group yesterday and also to talk to the organization Sunday evening, following the 7 p.m. church service. In Malaya, Kennedy will do evangelistic work among the Malayan young people, organizing rallies and mass meetings. He has been praised by both British and native officials there for his work in combatting communism with Christian ideas. Work there is almost totally devoted to the young people, since Buddhism has an almost unbreakable hold on the older generations, according to the Rev. Frank Butterworth, White Temple pastor. Another aspect of Kennedy's missionary work will be the setting up of work camps on the European models maintained by the Methodist church. In these camps, working close to the territory held by the Viet Minh communists, American young people will work with Malay natives. According to Kennedy, the influence American youth can wield in the battle of ideas between the West and the communities is far more important than the munitions, food and money the U.S. can send overseas. Following his Malayan campaign, Kenndy will go to Africa ASIAN-AMERICAN COOPERATION is exemplified above by Judy Belle Wicker, left, and Dick Gray, center, president of White Temple Methodist Youth Fellowship, as they hand Joe Kennedy a picture of the local MYF group to take to the MYF in Singapore. Both groups are working on fund drives for mission work in Malaya. to the Malay MYF for use in the mission field. Another way in which the local MYF is cooperating with its Singapore counterpart is in the activities of the "Footlighters." 60 High School Students Join Ranks Of Chest Workers for Final Drive It's kids to the rescue! Sixty AUHS students have volunteered to finish the cleanup campaign for the Anaheim Community chest, according to Paul Cook, campaign general chairman. After many fruitless efforts on the part of chest officials, to enlist the aid of adult volunteers to assist in the final solicitations, these enthusiastic members of three high school service clubs offered their immediate aid, he said. The drive has been set for next Tuesday when the youthful volunteers will contact the remaining 550 homes. Clubs represented in the community spirited project are the Colonist Knights, Phil Wright, president, Dick Ryan, advisor; Colonial Co-Eds, Beverly Buckner, president, Mrs. Maxine DuCoty, advisor and the Sub-Debs, Dolores Wollenman, president and Miss Genevieve Bennett, advisor. Chest officials are confident that Tuesday's intensified drive will complete the current fundraising campaign in view of the splendid work accomplished by the adult volunteers in their greatly appreciated efforts. Persons wishing to contribute directly to the chest office may still do so. Located at 117 W. Chartres, the campaign headquarters will be open afternoons. Donations may also be made at Smith-Reafsynder Furniture Co., 151 N. Los Angeles st. Building Lags In Anaheim Area Building activity was virtually dormant in the Anaheim area during the past week, as the permit valuations for the entire unincorporated area of the county fell to $357,736. Anaheim had only $1100 in miscellaneous permits. Garden Grove led the unincorporated communities with a valuation of $228,765, nearly two thirds of the county total. Other community totals were: Tustin $26,700, Costa Mesa $24,-520, Buena Park $19,783, Orange $15,984, Sunset Beach $11,500, Laguna Beach $8300, Placentia $7,-160, Ocean View $4000, Westminster $3500, Los Alamitos $2800, Anaheim $1100, miscellaneous $3,-624. Distinguished Aviation Pioneer, John Northrop, Resigns Company Presidency John K. Northrop, president of Northrop Aircraft, Inc., today announced aircraft designers he was previously associated with Lockheed Kennedy to carry greetings to the Malayans. At the same time a motion picture will be made of the meeting and later of other activities to be sent to Malaya for use in Kennedy's rallies and mass meetings. In this way, Kennedy pointed out, local youth can play an extremely important part in pointing up the difference between American youth as they are and the Reds' version. A project for the future, termed "our wildest dream" by the Rev. Butterworth, is the working out of details of an exchange program between Anaheim and Singapore youth in which local young people would travel to Malaya for work and study and Malay youth could live here and attend school for an as yet undetermined length of time. With an eye to financing the camp and exchange program to some extent, Kennedy yesterday decided to attempt selling his 1953 Nash automobile here. The price he said, is $2600 and he would appreciate prompt action as he must leave for Honolulu late Sunday. The theft of Dresses From Buffum's Provides Puzzler Theft of an entire rack of 35 dresses, valued at nearly $500, from Buffum's department store at 907 N. Main st., Santa Ana, yesterday afternoon provided. Santa Ana police with a puzzling mystery today. The rack of dresses last seen standing in a hallway adjacent to the receiving platform, disappeared while store employees were at work in and around the receiving platform. No trace or clue was left behind, police said. The theft of the dresses occurred between 2:30 p.m., when they last were noticed in the hallway, and 2:45 p.m., when their loss was discovered. Leslie Young and David Siden, store employees at work on the receiving platform during that period, said they saw no suspicious incident. There was a canvas-covered truck loading two large Distinguished Aviation Pioneer, John Northrop, Resigns Company Presidency John K. Northrop, president of Northrop Aircraft, Inc., today announced his retirement from the aeronautical field. The internationally-famous engineer and designer ended his 36-year career in aviation due to the progressive impairment of his health. He stated that he has no plans beyond the extended vacation necessary to regain his health. The Northrop board of directors accepted "Mr. Northrop's resignation" with the deepest regret, and thereafter elected Board Chairman Oliver P. Echols to serve also as president of the company, one of the nation's leading airframe manufacturers. In his letter of resignation Mr. Northrop said: "I have recognized that the increasing pressure of my work was rapidly impairing my health. It is most fortunate that I can at last take the necessary steps with a clear conscience because of the exceptional engineering talent now in the company." Additional appointments to take over Mr. Northrop's duties in the Northrop engineering department will be made in the near future, General Echols said. "We regret exceedingly the compelling personal reasons which have forced Mr. Northrop's resignation," General Echols declared. "His contributions to the science of aviation and to national defense have been many." Mr. Northrop, one of the founders of the company that bears his name, began in the aviation field in 1916. One of the world's lead-ing aircraft designers, he was previously associated with Lockheed Aircraft Corporation and with the Douglas Aircraft company. He is well known as the proponent and designer of the Flying Wing bombers built for the U.S. Air Force during and after World War II, and was prominent in the design of the World War II Black Widow P-61, first U.S. plane designed from its inception as a night fighter. Other planes designed by Mr. Northrop in earlier years in aviation included the famous "Greek letter" series—the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta, which set many records in their time. In more recent years, he has supplemented his duties at Northrop Aircraft with youth work in the Los Angeles area, and was recently head of the Los Angeles Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Northrop was selected in 1948 to deliver a lecture on "Aviation History, 1903 to 1960," under the joint sponsorship of the Library of Congress and the National Air Council, for U.S. military and civic leaders. In 1947 he delivered the Wilbur Wright Memorial lecture before the Royal Aeronautical Society in London. More recently he was named by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers to receive the Spirit of St. Louis Medal for "meritorious service in the advancement of aeronautics." He is a past president of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences. Check Passer Found Guilty Albert E. Fuller, Santa Ana, accused of passing bogus checks throughout Orange county, was found guilty late yesterday by a jury that deliberated only 20 minutes in Superior Judge Franklin G. West's court. Judge West received an application for probation, and set the hearing for Nov. 28 at which time Fuller will be sentenced if denied probation. Dept. Dist. Attorney Walter Steinner, prosecuting the case, charged that Fuller had been convicted of check passing in San Diego county in 1950 and was on parole from state prison at the time he passed the checks in Orange county. The defense claimed that Fuller had no intent to defraud and was engaged in making the checks good when arrested.

Judgeship May Hinge on Absentee Votes Eight special election boards today were counting the 4460 absentee ballots received in the general election of Nov. 4. They are expected to complete the count about noon Friday, County Clerk B. J. Smith announced. Only one contest, that for judge of Santa Ana-Orange mulcipal court, is likely to be affected by the absentee ballot results in which about 1740 ballots are being counted. Justice Howard Cameron of Santa Ana had a lead of only 15 votes over City Judge Ronald M. Crookshank of Santa Ana in official returns of the vote cast on Nov. 4. The 1740 absentee votes equals the returns from about five precincts, which could swing the decision either way by a considerable majority judging from the way the lead changed as the unofficial returns came in on election night. Smith segregated the absentee ballots in the Cameron - Crookshank race and assigned three of the eight boards to counting them. It is estimated that approximately half of the absentee votes were cast by members of the armed forces. The law allowed them 16 days after election in which to return their ballots, which delayed the official count until today. Only other ballot issues that might be affected by the count of absentee votes, was the $300,000 swimming pool proposal in the city of Santa Ana. With perhaps 1400 absentee votes to count, it was not regarded likely that the 350 lead held by the proposal would be overcome.

It's index United States and 7 Other Nations May Accept India’s Korea Proposals By STANLEY JOHNSON UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UP)—The United States and seven other countries were reliably reported today to have decided to accept State Officials Want More Help SACRAMENTO (UP) — California’s state departments have asked for 5000 new employees at a cost of 17 million dollars for the 1953-54 budget year, Legislative Auditor A. Alan Post told the legislative budget committee yesterday. Also, he reported, the budget request by the departments for next year’s spending program are running about 17 per cent higher than those for the current year. The state mental hygiene department wants 2500 of the requested new employees, Post said, and is asking appropriations 22 per cent higher than it got for this year. State college requests are up 22 per cent, he added, corrections up 17 and the California highway patrol up 17½ per cent. India’s compromise plan for settling the Korean prisoner-of-war deadlock, subject to two changes. The question of what to do with Red prisoners, held by the U.N., who say they don’t want to go home has been holding up an armistice. The eight countries—Australia, Britain, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, the United States and Turkey—also have decided to recommend that the Indian plan be given priority over all other Korean resolutions in the U.N. General Assembly. India proposed that both the U.N. and the Reds turn over their prisoners—totalling 132,000—to a commission made up of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland and Sweden. If this commission deadlocked, it would elect or ask the General Assembly to choose an impartial umpire. The eight decided today to recommend that the Indian resolution be amended to provide that if the four did not agree to an umpire within three weeks they would hand the problem back to the Assembly. Living Costs Inch Upward WASHINGTON (UP)—The government reported today living costs went up fractionally in the 30 days ended Oct. 15. It’s index inched up one-tenth of one point. The little change from Sept. 15 means that about one million workers in the automobile and aircraft industries will take a pay cut of one cent an hour effective Dec. 1 owing to living costs declines in August and September.

He was 81. An AFL official said death came at 1:22 a.m., PST. He said Green died of a heart attack. It was the second death of a major labor leader within a month. Philip Murray, head of the rival CIO, collapsed and died at San Francisco Nov. 9. Green was born in Conshocton March 3, 1873, the son of a coal miner. He was working in the Ohio lines before he was out of grade cool and was a full-fledged merger by the time he was 18. Green first turned to politics I served a term in the Ohio state senate. Then he went into non-activity, pioneering in the field of nationwide organization. At 33, he had become president of the Ohio District Mine Workers union. He advanced to secretary-treasurer of the American Federation Labor in 1912, and became president of the union when Sam-Gompers died in 1924. The AFL chieftain had been in active health for years, but he acted the AFL at its convenence in New York in September. Not long after that, he went Conshocton Memorial hospital for a checkup. He was in the capital for two weeks and then Chamber Directors Told: Anaheim Is Winning its Fight for Housing Anaheim is winning out over its housing problem, it was reported to chamber of commerce directors last night by Rex Coons, chairman of the organization's housing committee. The housing problem became painfully apparent early last year, following an exceptionally successful year long campaign to bring industries to the city. With the industry came a multitude of workers of all categories, who had to be housed. Therefore, 1952 was designated as a housing year in the chamber's program of community development. Coons said terrific progress has been made in housing new-comers to Anaheim, but pointed out that city planning regulations and policies should be so. Other business included A. J. Schutte's report on the Carbon canyon flood water problem. He could only report that the city has been pushing hard for action from the flood control district without too much success so far.

Coons said terrific progress has been made in housing new-comers to Anaheim, but pointed out that city planning regulations and policies should be so flexible as to encourage builders to meet the remaining demand without unnecessary delays. He took particular exception to the policy the city has followed to some extent in permitting R-O zone (luxury type developments) areas to become encircled and crowded by subdivisions with lower requirements. He referred particularly to the northwest area of the city. He expressed concern that low-cost 800 to 900 square foot homes be provided for and that the area best suited for such developments State Taxes May Be Boosted, New Senator Predicts The time has arrived for American business and agriculture to solve its own problems instead of relying upon a powerful centralized national government. State Senator-elect John A. Murdy, Jr., of Huntington Beach told members of the Orange County League of Cities at a meeting in Legion hall, Orange, last night. November elections results, said Murdy, clearly disclosed the trend away from a powerful and greedy national government and there will be less economic planning and fewer "do-gooders" in Washington under the new administration. Murdy predicted. He said that the increase in school appropriations voted by the people of California Nov. 4 may mean an increase in the sales tax or a tax upon foods that are now exempt. In order to finance the school increase. There is some talk, Murdy added, of increasing the state gasoline tax to finance construction of more highways in the state. This proposal was discussed to some extent at the special session of the state legislature last August, which Murdy attended as an observer, he said. He will not assume office until next Jan. 1, when he succeeds Senator Clyde Watson of Orange, who has retired. Last night's meeting of the league was the first at which the new president, Mayor Ira Wiede, La Habra, presided.

Last evening the Anaheim recreation commission met in the city hall to discuss the report of the recreation director on "School Parks." The study of the "School-Parks" was undertaken by the department as the result of a request made by the Anaheim elementary school board in April of this year.

Mr. Ganahl's committee will be advisory to the recreation commission and will include such representatives as is deemed necessary by the chairman.

Strength through Faith REV. WILLIAM McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church This is a land of plenty to be sure—but we can't slow down on the job and still have that plenty. All of us have got to produce in a world that is crying out for relief from conditions largely of its own making. We cannot make our nation greater and stronger by weakening the men who have made it great and strong. Faith marches ahead of the army of progress. It is found beside the most refined life, the freest government, the profoundest philosophy, the noblest poetry, the purest humanity.
