County Bar Association Hears Talk On Admiralty Law and its Practice Admiralty law and its practice were described to members of the Orange County Bar association at their regular luncheon meeting Friday noon in Santa Ana, by Attorney Gordon B. Shallenberger, admiralty specialist, of San Pedro. Admiralty law, said the speaker, offers the most simple forms of practice. Its procedures follow generally the rules of federal courts, which include pre-trial hearings that shorten the time of litigation, encourages more out-of-court settlements, and "gets closer to justice." Changes brought about in admiralty law by enactment of the Jones act, were related, including personal court actions in admiralty. Discussing Liens, Shallenberger said that anyone can seize any ship, even the Queen Mary, by posting a $250 cost bond. Any officer or crew member of the ship could file a lien and seize the ship without even the $250 cost bond. Under admiralty law, the usual order of priority for liens is reversed, and the last lien takes precedence, said Shallenberger. The theory behind that rule, he explained, is to keep commerce moving. If a ship broke down in some foreign port, and needed repairs to resume its voyage, its owners probably would have to give a first lien on the vessel in order to get the work done. Only a preferred mortgage would have precedence over the last lien, he said. President Alvin Drumm called for nominations of four delegates and four alternates to the coming state bar convention. After George Bradley, chairman of the nominating committee, presented the names of Clarence Sprague, Frank Bowman, Charles Bauer and Delbert Larsh as delegates, and Walter Chaffee, Fred Johnston. Mark Soden and Claude Owens as alternates. Attorney Rodger Howell nominated James B. Tucker as delegate and Robert Corfman. The balloting thus required will be taken by mail, it was decided. Municipal Judge John Shea of Anaheim announced that his new court is gradually getting organized, and that packets of new legal forms will be ready for distribution to attorneys during the coming week.

An interesting offshoot general educational cost p is that of the State operating television channels which are held available by the R Communications commi However, the Auto club warns that the burden of proving this deduction is placed on the taxpayer. Where the gasoline tax deduction is estimated, taxpayers should have evidence to prove miles traveled and gasoline consumption per mile. Motorists with oil company credit cards can easily determine the amount of gas tax paid during 1952. Other deductible items are: Retail sales or use taxes paid on purchase of automobiles and accessories; registration, vehicle license; operator and chauffeur license; personal property and municipal taxes; amounts paid for interest on auto loans and losses or damages to vehicles not compensated for by insurance or otherwise. The above personal deductions are available only if the standard deduction is not used. In computing adjusted gross incomes, motorists are entitled to deduct all maintenance, depreciation and insurance costs for vehicles used entirely for business. When cars are used for both business and pleasure, a proportionate portion of these expenses, based on business use only, may be allowed. Not deductible are such pleasure driving items as insurance finance charges on conditional sales contracts, traffic fines and federal excise taxes on automobile tires, tubes, oil and accessories.

Assemblyman Le Roy E. Lynn Jr. Welcome, fellow citizens, to our weekly column which is being published this week for the first time. It is my hope and desire that through this medium we may all keep in closer touch with the functions, problems, and personalities of our State Government. You and I of Orange county shall certainly see to it that our California Legislature shall not be "The Great Unknown" as many State legislatures are described in an article in this month's reader's Digest. Several years ago the people of California passed a measure on one ballot which placed California among the more progressive states a respect to appropriate remuneration and fees. Old time legislative observers tell me that they consider the calibre of the vast majority of the Assembly to be the highest they have ever seen. That means you and I, and the people of our great State will be better served than ever before. We mean that undersirable "third house" pressure and influence will fill on deaf ears, to a very great degree. Governor Earl Warren's address to the joint meeting of the re-member Assembly and 40-remember Senate was the high point of the opening this week of the 53 General Session which is to continue for 120 days. And of course the two most costly, or potentially costly issues facing us and me are Education and highways. An interesting offshoot of the general educational cost problem that of the State operating eight revision channels which are being available by the Federal communications commission is Marine Jailed On Hit-Run, Drunk Driving Charges S/Sgt. Charles Eugene White, 22, El Toro Marine, was arrested at a Tustin cafe by the shore patrol Friday night, as Santa Ana police hunted him in both cities, jailing him on charges of drunk driving and hit-run. Sergeant White assertedly left a trail of damaged cars, outraged motorists, and at least one rutted lawn in his wake as he traveled through Santa Ana and made his way to Tustin, where he stopped at two cafes before being located. Police first received a call from William B. Kelsey of Garden Grove, who had encountered Sergeant White with unpleasant results. In quick order came reports from C.K. Read, D.E. Cross, and two youths, Robert C. Hoffman and Gordon P. Johnson, who had stories to tell about Sergeant White's driving. Then came the call from the shore patrol that Sergeant White was in custody at the Two E's cafe in Tustin. His car, parked there, showed signs of a bad time with traffic. Sergeant White couldn't recall anything, police said. year to operate. Operation would presumably be under the Department of Public Instruction generally and under local university or college campuses, specifically. The question will be before this Session whether to enact legislation authorizing such a program involving the additional costs for this potent new education medium. I am most interested in your reaction to this proposition. Just drop me a card or letter, State Capitol Building, Sacramento. So now, let's prove that Orange county is on the ball—that we are going to know more about our own State Government and are going to participate in it. One way is to let me know what you think. Don't you, whom we represent here in Sacramento, ever let us Any Anaheimer who waits at home may do so. Anaheimers will go to Korea them will be hurt and never return. Show Anaheim is the only business should be in 1953. The new one of decision—Anaheim play a vital role in it. REMEMBER—When Bouldin was chief. The man he didn't know. How he used to come "Say, how do you spell name?" when he didn't fellow's name... "Smile plain old Smith," one flipped. That didn't sit my: "Oh, I thought it spelled with a whip!" member?

OCMWD May be Asked to Enlarge MWD Water Flow Formal request that the Metropolitan Water District increase the capacity of its proposed new feeder line into Orange county from 220 second feet to 400 second feet, to permit larger water spreading operations and cover increased future water use in the An interesting offshoot of the general educational cost problem that of the State, operating eight revision channels which are being held available by the Federal communications commission until June 2, 1953. These stations must be between $200,000 and $500,000 each, and about $2,000,000 per station authorizing such a program involving the additional costs for this potent new education medium. I am most interested in your reaction to this proposition. Just drop me a card or letter, State Capitol Building, Sacramento. So now, let's prove that Orange county is on the ball—that we are going to know more about our own State Government and are going to participate in it. One way is to let me know what you think. Don't you, whom we represent here in Sacramento, ever let us become your "Great Unknown." I want to know you and your ideas. You should know me and mine! Jacinto Garcia Dies in Sleep Jacinto F. Garcia, 71, a native of Mexico who came to California 52 years ago and who has lived in Orange county for 47 years, died Thursday night in his sleep. The family home is at 7122 Vista st., La Jolla. He retired as usual the evening before and no one was disturbed during the night. He is survived by his wife, Mary M. Garcia; six daughters, Mrs. Teresa Cruz of Anaheim, Mrs. Virginia Arce of Fullerton, Mrs. Frances Cortez of Tl Juanna, Mrs. Josephine Vasquez, Mrs. Maclavio Maldonado and Miss Helen Garcia all of La Jolla; two sons, Paul Garcia of Stockton and Joe Garcia of Santa Ana; one brother, Jose Garcia of Texas; 24 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Funeral arrangements have not been completed and will be announced by the Hilgenfeld mortuary. Four Injured in Accidents on County Highways Major injuries were received by three persons and a fourth was hurt less seriously in Orange county traffic accidents Friday night according to the California highway patrol. Mrs. Iva M. Raines, 25, 5921 Western ave., Buena Park, was seriously hurt at 5:40 p.m. when a car driven by her husband, Paris Lee Raines, 26, collided with a car operated by Elmer Edkins Potes, 52, Long Beach. Raines received minor injuries in the crash, which took place at Commonwealth ave. and Darlington st., Buena Park. Both of the injured were taken to Fullerton General hospital. Tommy Rivera, 30, and his passenger, Reuben Trujillo, 28, both of Costa Mesa, received major injuries. UCMWD May Be Asked to Enlarge MWD Water Flow Formal request that the Metropolitan Water District increase the capacity of its proposed new feeder line into Orange county from 220 second feet to 400 second feet, to permit larger water spreading operations and covet increased future water use in the Orange county basin, may be submitted to the Orange County Municipal Water District directors at their meeting Monday afternoon in Placentia. Directors of the Orange County Water District recently discussed the matter of presenting the request for a larger line to MWD. The request, it was understood, would be "processed" through the Orange County Municipal Water District, member of MWD, for which the new feeder line is to be built. The proposed line capacity of 200 or 220 second feet, which would be split at a point where a lateral line would branch off to cross Santa Ana river and provide connections for the two major water companies and the Orange County Water District, would not be enough to fill the replenishment needs of the basin, it is said. Water district officials are considering a new appraisal of the annual overdraft in the basin, as made by Engineer C. Roy Brown of Tustin, member of the water district board, who places the deficit at 67,000 acre feet a year. The water district therefore desires to purchase and spread about 92,000 acre feet annually to cover the annual overdraft and build up the underground supply now so badly depleted by accumulated overdrafts of past years. It is estimated that a line of 400 foot second flow capacity would be required to meet this speed. AGAIN...we i OLD FASHION Valencia Orange Assn. Has Annual Stockholder Meet The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Valencia Orange Assn. was held last Thursday at the White Temple Methodist church dining hall. Following the dinner served by the ladies of the church, the business meeting was held during which Manager Wesley Hein outlined high points of the past season's activities. While the valencia crop was considerably smaller than in the year previous it amounted to 466 carloads for which $477,720.80 was received. Both production and sizes were disappointing. Average production was less than 250 field boxes per acre and sizes of packed fruit averaged 246 oranges per box. Lloyd B. Wise EVANGELIST Recently returned from a successful series of meetings throughout the East, will bring you a blessing through Old Fashioned Gospel Preaching. Any Anahelmer who wants to buy a home may do so. More Anaheimers will go to Korea—some of them will be hurt and a few will never return. Show business in Anaheim is the only business that won't be doing the business it should be in 1953. The new year is one of decision—Anaheimers will play a vital role in it. REMEMBER—When James H. Bouldin was chief, "There wasn't a man he didn't know. Remember how he used to come up with: 'Say, how do you spell your last name?' when he didn't know a fellow's name." "Smith, Just plain old Smith," one fellow replied. That didn't stop Jimmy: "Oh, I thought it might be spelled with a 'why!'." Remember? He ran the "Fine and Musch?" cafe where everything was fine and dandy. Remember Jimmy Heffron, the beloved, silver-thatched sports authority. Rember Doc Barnes? Old Robert was a friend of the growing boy and many a lad grown to manhood recalls his generosity during those bleak depression years. BRIEFLY — Have you started your annual headache? Figuring out what you owe Uncle Sam is a chore, but a pleasant one if you have a refund coming. Anaheim's jockey, Alex Maese, is just a little too heavy to make the grade on the big apple. The poor kid just can't make the lightweight a bug rider must. A lot of folks want to know what that searchlight beam from the machine on North Patt st. is for. Do you know? It's a secret. Stan Riley, one of Anahl's better athletes of another day is still hobbling around a golf course. He made 13 letters; was a star in football, basketball and baseball and almost scored in track, too. Jerry Shipkey will show up well in that pro-bowl game. Benny Agajanian knows more big names than any other Anaheimer. The sporting goods dealer has that kind of a winning personality. ASSISTS—Thomas Funk, federal bankruptcy analyst, reports 2638 financial failures. Of these 65 percent were filed by individuals. In good times like these people are still going broke, yet! Severiano Luevane, 52, had the dubious honor of being the county's first traffic fatality of the new year. The Santa Ana section hand's light pickup was rammed as he was waiting at a railroad crossing and jolted into an oncoming freight... So far so good. Dr. Edward Lee Russell has not reported any Oranco pollo cases for 1953, but the need for the support of the March of Dimes is urgent, as 1953 may be a big poll year. PASSING—Bob Ramirez received a broken nose when he stopped an elbow in a church league basketball game. It was unintentional, so it was accidental. Sal Flores, the Anaheimer who doubles as a leather pusher and truck driver, pushed leather for the Tvision audience last night. There's something about appearing before a crowd that makes it possible for a leather pusher to take the sting of an opponent's blows. Clark Root. The personable-Bream has completed 40 years of continuous service with the Union Oil Co. He took a temporary job "for a week or two" in 1913 and has been at it since. AFTERTHOUGHT — After all is said and done, more should be done and less said about it. Ocean studies have become so important that the British have assigned the naval ship Challenger to scientific studies of the sea. at DUNHAM'S STOCK REDUCING SHOE Sale BUY NOW!
