Excitement Accompanies Kuchel Appointment By HENRY C. MACARTHUR SACRAMENTO (CNS)—Unusual excitement accompanied the appointment last week of Thomas K. Kuchel, state controller, to the United States senate, as successor to Vice President-elect Richard E. Nixon. Gov. Earl Warren's conference room was so loaded with television equipment, newsreel and still cameras that there was barely room for news reporters. Although many had guessed Kuchel would receive the appointment, no one actually knew, at least none of the capitol news staff, until the governor handed out the announcements, and at the same time announced his intention of appointing Robert Kirkwood, Santa Clara assemblyman, as state controller to succeed Kuchel during the first week in January. It is generally conceded that in making the appointments, the governor selected two able, conscientious and independent men to carry on the work of the two importers. Capital Writer Approves Kuchel, Political Pressure Hits Newcomer Fast SACRAMENTO (CNS)—The rapidity with which the pressure starts on a public official in high office was demonstrated here Monday with appointment of Thomas H. Kuchel as U. S. senator. Kuchel had been out of the governor's office only a short time, after being televised and interviewed for radio broadcasts. However, in that short time, the news of his appointment had reached Honolulu, Hawaii, and he received a call from that city asking how he stood on the issue of stathood for Hawaii! How he stands remains to be seen, for Kuchel wasn't in his office to answer the telephone. Gordon Richmond Of Orange Named Tax Appraiser SACRAMENTO (CNS)—Thomas H. Kuchel, State Controller, has announced appointment of Gordon Richmond Of Orange Named Tax Appraiser. SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The appointments of Thomas H. Kuchel as U. S. senator and Robert Kirkwood to succeed Kuchel as state controller, announced this week by Gov. Earl Warren, leaves nothing to be desired by the people of the state for able, conscientious and energetic representation in high office. This is, at least, the opinion of this writer, who for the past six years has had the privilege of working closely with both of the appointees, of observing Kuchel's handling of the state controller's office, and of Kirkwood's activities as a member of the assembly from Santa Clara county. In all of those years, no single instance can be recalled when it has been necessary to point out any questionable activity in the controller's office. And the same statement applies to Kirkwood's service in the assembly, where he has not only done a sound and honest job for his district, but has interested himself in the wider state issues as well. As an assemblyman, Kirkwood has stood on his own two feet, and has refused to succumb to any type of pressure. The Kuchel appointment provided little surprise for capital newsmen. He has been mentioned prominently for the post ever since the November elections. The various leads given by the governing force have succeeded in acquiring attention from the public information. The Imperial Valley Publishing Co., which publishes the Imperial Valley Press and the Morning Post, Californias Gordon Richmond Of Orange Named Tax Appraiser SACRAMENTO (CNS)—Thomas H. Kuchel, State Controller, has announced appointment of Gordon X. Richmond of Orange as inheritance tax appraiser for Orange county, vice James B. Utt who resigned after his election to Congress. Richmond, an attorney, has practiced law in Orange county since 1931. He graduated from the UCS college of Law in 1928 and was admitted to the Bar in that year. The new appraiser is a past president of the County Bar Association of Orange county and a past president of the State Republican Assembly. He has served as chairman of the County Central Committee for several terms. In announcing the appointment, Kuchel said: "I know of no one better qualified for inheritance tax appraiser in Orange county than Gordon Richmond who has had many years experience in tax and probate matters." Richmond maintains his law office in Orange where he resides. He is married and has four children. Kirkwood not to Take Controller's Office 'til Jan. 5 SACRAMENTO (CNS)—Robert C. Kirkwood, assemblyman from Santa Clara county and state controller-designate, will not take his new office here until after he qualifies as an assemblyman Jan. 5, at least, Governor Earl Warren said today. A part of the oath taken by candidates is that they will qualify for office if elected, and Kirkwood was reelected in November. Consequently, he will be on hand to vote in the speakership fight. Once mentioned prominently himself, Kirkwood swung his support to Assemblyman James Silliman, of Monterey. Telephone Hour To Feature Grieg Telephone Hour To Feature Grieg Concerto Jan. 5 The first 1953 broadcast of the Pacific Telephone Hour will feature pianist Clifford Curzon playing a movement from Grieg's "Concerto in A Minor," on Jan. 5.

Closed Sundays and Holidays Nursery Maintained for Children During Church Services on Sundays For California SACRAMENTO (CNS)—A sex offender who cannot benefit from psychiatric treatment and who must be returned to society either to go free or to serve another or a usually long list of short-term prison sentences presents a difficult problem to the people of California, Dr. Frank F. Tallman state director of mental hygiene said in a recent report to the governor. Tallman explained that state law provides for 90 days psychiatric observation of sex offenders in a mental hospital. Purpose of observation is to advise the court whether the offender is a sex psychopath as defined by law and whether he would respond to treatment. From Oct. 1, 1949, when the law went into effect, through October of this year, 668 offenders have been sent to Norwalk in the south or Mendocino in the north. Of these, the director stated 453 were committed to hospitals as patients until deemed safe to return to society. But of the offenders who are not committed to hospitals, Tallman declared: "It is this group—untreated and perhaps untreated as to the causes of their aberrent behavior, and apparently undeterred by a long series of imprisonments—that perhaps presents California's most serious unmet problems in the field of the sex offender." Upon release from hospitals, treated patients are under court jurisdiction for five to ten year periods and life-long registration with police authorities. Tallman said that of 50 such patients released from Norwalk in the past two years, only one has been returned.
