82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 VOLUME LXXXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, Trailer Factory to Loc TALLY ELECTORAL VOTES—Washington, Jan 6 — With Vice president Barkley presiding, votes of the electoral college are counted at a joint session of congress today. Standing at upper left is Lewis Deschler, house parliamentarian. Seated at second row of desks, from left: Senate Secretary Mark Trice, Sen. William Jenner (R-Ind.), Sen. Truman Considerers Holding Tidal Oil as Reserve WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 — Sen. Watkins R-Uttah said today he has learned President Truman is considering an order which would set aside submerged oil lands as a naval petroleum reserve. Watkins told the Senate he had heard "persistent rumors" to this effect and checked with "a high level in the Interior Department." "I am informed," the senator said. "That such action is under consideration at the White House at this moment." Watkins said he hoped his speech would focus attention on the matter and prevent Mr. Truman from issuing such an order. The order "can have as its objective nothing more than political confusion and obstruction." Watkins said, adding that it "would amount to little more than the last-minute attempt by a lame duck executive to embarrass his duly elected successor." Kirkwood Sworn In as Controller SACRAMENTO, Jan 6 — Assemblyman Robert C Kirkwood R-Saratoga was sworn in as state controller today after resigning from the Assembly. Now It's Official: Electoral Vote Tally Shows Ike and Nixon Winners WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 — Congress ran quietly through the routine of pronouncing Gen. Dwight D Eisenhower's election official today and then the Senate tied into a fight over the burning filibuster issue. Two GOP leaders, Senators Taft of Ohio and Jenner of Indiana, promised to try later on this year to push through a rule making it easier to halt filibusters—a proposal which itself would be subject to a filibuster before it could be adopted. Sen. Dirksen R-swing along with the idea, too. Losing Flight But a small, outnumbered coalition of Democrats and a handful of Republicans put on a strenthe though apparently losing battle change the rules now. The Senate rolled through host of debate about the filibuster, a device Southern Democrats had used to talk to death fair employment practices and other rights legislation, but a showdown was held off until tomorrow. Before the arguments got under way, Senate and House met to gether in the big blue, brown and gold House chamber for the finality of counting the electorate ballots from the Nov 4 election. Clear for Inaugural No surprises. Just as everybody knew, it was 442 to 89 for Eisenhower and Vice President-elect Nixon over their Democratic position. Now the two of them can take the oath of office two weeks fro today. Weather Southern California—Scattered light showers but rain locally moderate to heavy at times beeginning northwest portion forenoon today, spreading southward over and west of the coast. Kirkwood Sworn In as Controller SACRAMENTO. Jan 6 OP—Assemblyman Robert C Kirkwood R-Saratoga was sworn in as state controller today after resigning from the Assembly. He was appointed controller by Gov. Warren to succeed Thomas H. Kuchel, Anaheim Republican, whom Warren named to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Vice President-elect Richard M. Nixon. The 44-year-old retired lawyer, who now ranches for living, told his former Assembly colleagues he hopes they will continue to work together. The announcement of his appointment said the purpose of his job is to relieve John Foster Dulles, secretary of state-designate, and his policy advisers "from the burden of reorganization and administration." No further details were given. Eisenhower named a Washington newspaperman as an assistant secretary of state who will head the "Voice of America" broadcast operations another state department facility which has at times drawn fire. Selected for this position was Carl W McCardle, a veteran newsman who now is in charge of the Washington bureau of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. Legislature Snowed-In with Proposed New Laws By WILLIAM H. ALLEN SACRAMENTO. Jan 6 OP—Highways, schools, taxes and labor relations drew the attention of California's legislators, today as the first few score of an expected 5000 or more bills spilled over Assembly and Senate desks. The Assembly went ahead with its organization by electing six members to its steering body, the Rules Committee. The chairman is Speaker James W. Silliman R-Salinas. Federal Loan The first highway legislation was introduced by Sen. A. W. Way R-Fortuna. He offered bills which would clear the way for California to borrow 3½ billion dollars from the federal government for a 20 year road building program. The money would be repaid from highway users tax revenues. Way said two states already are using this means of financing. A 100 million dollar tax reduction bill was turned in by Assemblyman Charles Edward Chapel R-Inglewood. Like a measure which passed the Assembly and died in the Senate last March, it would cut the sales tax from 3 to 2½ per cent and reduce income and corporation taxes by 15 per cent. Warren Silent Gov. Warren, who has warned that his 1953-54 budget will be larger than the $1,188,000,000 in current year's spending authorization, declined comment on tax cutting proposals at his news conference. He said his budget message will speak for itself. Word came from Sen. George J. Hatfield R-Newman that he will try again to ban secondary boycotts through legislation. C. J. Hagerty, secretary of the State Federation of Labor AFL, said labor will fight the measure. In 1947, the State Supreme Court held a 1941 anti-hof cargo law unconstitutional. Hatfield said the legislative counsel advises that his new bill appears to be constitutional. Teacher Pay Assemblyman Harold K. Levering R-Los Angeles introduced a bill to keep high school and college students from being forced to join labor unions to hold after school or vacation jobs. The California Teachers Association proposed to up the minimum pay of certified public school teachers from $3000 to $3400 per year. Assemblyman Ernest P Geddes R-Claremont offered the legislation. A bill which would cause property tax assessment practice in the counties to be reflected in state public school subsidies was handed in by Assemblyman John L. E. Collier R-Los Angeles The State Board of Equalization had found a wide variation in the ratio of assessed actual property values in the counties. Outlaw Reds Chapel proposed bills to outlaw the Communist party and to make the sale of narcotics subject to life imprisonment and to the death penalty for a second offense. A bill extending veterans educational benefits to veterans of Korea was introduced in the name of Assemblyman Kathryn T. Niehouse R-San Diego. Assemblyman Luther H. Lincoln R-Oakland offered a constitutional amendment lengthening the terms of lower house members from two to four years.

Allied infantry last night turned back several Red thrusts on the Sniper Ridge and Jane Russell Hill sectors of the central front. More than 100 allied fighter-bombers destroyed at least 28 buildings Tuesday in a raid on a big Red troop and supply center 30 miles from Manchuria in northwest Korea. Concentration Hit More than 100 allied fighter-bombers blasted a big Communist troop and supply concentration in northwest Korea Tuesday 30 miles from Manchuria, destroying at least 28 buildings, the air force reported. Communist MIGs from nearby Manchurian bases did not challenge the massive air strike, but Sabre pilots claimed two Red jets were damaged earlier in the day. On the ground, action slackened after stiff Red blows at United Nations positions late Monday and early Tuesday ended a holiday lull in the fighting. Slushy Front A bright sun sent temperatures soaring to 47 degrees along the front, and turned the snow into slush. Planes from four fighter-bomber wings roared more than 150 miles behind the front lines in hitting the Red supply center, which is near Kanggye. Smoke and flames poured from the battered target when allied bombs touched off stores of high explosives. The explosions prevented a complete assessment of the strike, but pilots counted at least 28 billeting and storage buildings destroyed and others damaged. Other allied planes pounded roads, rails, bridges and frontline positions. Marine and Republic of Korea planes damaged 40 Red bunkers in strikes along the 155-mile front.

Bolivian Coup Fails as Troops Remain Loyal LA PAZ, Bolivia, Jan. 6. U.P.-Loyal troops today folied an attempted revolt which President Victor Paz Eshtenssoro blamed on traitors within his own ruling party. Bloodless Uprising The abortive uprising, in which a cabinet minister and the chief of the army's general staff were taken prisoner, was bloodless, although the president's life was in danger for a time when the palace guard was disarmed while he slept. At least eight veteran army officers and eight civilians were arrested, the prisoners were freed and calm was restored within a matter of hours in this tin-rich, money-poor country. Third Attempt This was the third attempt overthrow Pax Estenssoro since he came to power after a bloody revolution last April in which Bolivia's regulars were defeated by "the people's army" of his National Revolutionary Movement—MNR. The revolution troops are now the backbone of the armed forces. Military and right wing groups have accused the government of permitting the infiltration of Communists, and the attempted coup apparently was the climax of a split in the ranks of the MNR party. Paz Estenssoro himself, speaking to a crowd in Plaza Murillo in mid-morning, said it was the work of "reactionaries who infiltrated the MNR and betrayed its ideals." Smoke and flames poured from the battered target when allied bombs touched off stores of high explosives. The explosions prevented a complete assessment of the strike, but pilots counted at least 28 billeting and storage buildings destroyed and others damaged.

Tapping The Hidden Springs By FRANK E. BUTTERWORTH Pastor, White Temple Methodist Church Have you ever wondered why some people are able to take illness and tragedy and misfortune in such apparent stride, while others crack up? They seem to have "invisible means of support." In our rather mechanical and materialistic age, it is hard for many of us to accept the reality of the unseen values which give us power for life. But wasn't it just as hard for the middlewesterners back in '49, accustomed as they were to running rivers and sparkling springs, to conceive how Indians and prospectors were able to live in the desert wilderness that was then the west? They did not understood that here was good water often just beneath the surface, or that by opening the barrel cactus one could find cool refreshment. Only those who knew their desert knew these secrets. Folk who have lived much with suffering and loss have learned to live in the deserts of life, and have found sources of power for living in those hard places. "Seek, and ye shall find."
