Authorization for the proposed 3000 bed structure for mentally defective children was given in the last legislative session. Gov. Warren asked the speed up in his opening message to the legislature and included the money in his budget submitted today. Warren Gets Both Supply On Proposal to Levy In SACRAMENTO, Jan. 12 (AP)—Legislative reaction to taxes today ran all the way from support to caustic criticism.

"We might well do the extra financing at this time," Hulse said. Adm. King Predicts Ike to Produce Workable Solution to Korean War WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (AP)—Adm. Ernest J. King, America's World War II naval chief, predicted today that President-elect Eisenhower will "come up with a workable solution" to end the stalemate in Korea. King didn't indicate what sort of answer he thought Eisenhower might provide But in a copyrighted interview in the weekly magazine U.S. News & World Report he offered his own suggestions for making the war tougher for the Communists in the Far East. Blockade and Bomb The retired fleet admiral made two proposals that in the past have met strong opposition, particularly from the Army and Air Force—a blockade of the entire China coast and bombing of the Chinese mainland. A naval blockade, King said, would force the Reds to divert some Chinese troops from Korea to set up stronger defenses opposite Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist forces. Sea Control Necessary The Navy, King said, would bomb inland only within range of carrier aircraft, with the Air Force providing long-range planes. "But concentrated and repeated attacks could be made," he said "only if the Navy were able to retain control of the sea surrounding necessary island bases," such as Okinawa. King's brief suggestion of an invasion to follow up the bombing was contained in this remark: "Don't forget the foot soldier must be there to take advantage of the results of the bombing.

Small craft warnings for winds up to 35 miles an hour were posted along the coast. The weatherman could promise no relief from the gray skies and scattered rain. The forecast called for scattered showers in north and central California and drizzle in Southern California Tuesday, with rain returning in earnest from Santa Rosa north Wednesday. Rain was heavy in spots for the 24 hours ended this morning. Oroville got almost an inch. There was heavy snow in the high Sierra, but roads into Nevada were open, with motorists warned to carry tire chains. Roads into Oregon were open and clear. The threat of floods appeared to have diminished as most streams dropped over the weekend. Shasta dam water releases were to be cut by 18,000 cubic feet a second to 24,000 feet because of the new storm. The purpose is to clear the Sacramento river channel downstream. After the storm the regular water releases will be restored. Final McCracken Appeal Denied SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12 (AP) — The District Court of Appeals today denied an appeal by Henry Ford McCracken, who is sentenced to die Jan. 23 for the 1951 sex-murder of a 10-year-old girl. Clarence Linn, assistant state attorney general, described McCracken's appeal for a sanity hearing before a jury, as "frivolous and without merit." The 35-year-old McCracken was declared sane—and liable to execution—by Superior Judge N. Charles Brusatori of Marin county last November.

UP—Legislation was proposed today by Sen. James D. Cunningham (R-San Bernardino) to divest the state board of equalization of its liquor control function and place the power with a three member commission. Cunningham said he will introduce a constitutional amendment and a bill to affect the change.

Then the high school teacher, who slashed his own throat and wrists in a suicide attempt, was taken to San Quentin Prison for safekeeping pending a preliminary hearing Jan. 20. Connett and his wife Wyona, 28, had been separated some time when he appeared at her home in Cupertino Dec. 23. After visiting their three children, Michael, 4; Teresa, 2¼, and Carl, 4 months, Connett quarreled violently with Mrs. Connett. Police said he then stabbed his wife, battered the children to death against the floor and furniture—and then attempted suicide. Before being taken to San Quentin today, he told newsmen: "I still love my family a great deal. I hoped to get them together again. I wish my wife and her family the best. I feel terribly sorry for their sacrifices." Medics by Russians Group of 'Terrorist Jewish Doctors' Said to Have Confessed Killing Zhdanov LONDON, Jan. 12 (P)—Moscow Radio said today a group of "terrorist Jewish doctors had been arrested in a fabulous plot to kill off top Russian political and military leaders. The broadcast said the doctors had confessed killing of the late Andrei A. Zhdanov, one of the top members of the powerful Politburo who died in 1948, and shortening the life of Alexander Sergeyevich Scherbakov, head of the chief political administration of the Red army, who died in 1945. The broadcast charged the plot is ordered by the United States, working through an international Jewish organization. Other intended victims, the broadcast said, were war minister Marshal Alexander M. Vasilevsky; Soviet ground forces commander-chief Marshal Ivan S. Konev; Marshal Loonid A. Govorov, commander of the Leningrad army Finland during World war II; Im. G. I. Levchenko, deputy minister of navy, and Gen. S. M. Petmenko, chief of staff of the Russian land forces. Eight Identified The broadcast identified eight of the doctors and said they were connected with the international wish bourgeois-nationalist organization "Joint" set up by the American intelligence service." The reference apparently was to the Jewish joint distribution agency which has sent millions of dollars worth of assistance to Jews in Europe, including those behind the iron curtain. Quoting a Moscow dispatch from the official Soviet News agency Tass, the broadcast said the doctors had admitted trying to kill off the top Soviet leaders by harmful treatment and bad diagnosis. Regarding Zhdanov's death, the broadcast said: "The criminals confessed they made an incorrect diagnosis of his disease and, concealing the miocardinal infraction from which he suffered, prescribed a regime which was contra-indicated for this serious illness and thereby killed Comrade A. A. Zhdanov." Incorrect Treatment The broadcast added that in the case of Scherbakov, the doctors "incorrectly applied strong medicines for his treatment, introduced an experimental regime and thus caused his death." At the time of the Red army official's death, it was said to have been caused by paralysis' of the heart. The radio said among those arrested were Professors M. S. Vovsi, V. N. Vinogradov, M. B. Kogan, P. I. Egorov, A. I. Feldman, Y. G. Etinger, A. M. Grinshtein, and G. I. Mayorov All were identified as "therapeutic doctors" except Grinshtein, who was described as a neuro-pathologist. Scanty Details The broadcast declared: "Investigation has established that members of this terrorist group, by taking advantage of their positions as doctors and by violating the trust of ill people with premeditation, criminally undermined their health and deliberately... made incorrect diagnoses and then by incorrect healing methods, destroyed them." This was the nearest the broadcast came to saying how many—if any—of the patients the doctors were actually supposed to have killed. It gave no other details.

ROME, Jan. 12 (AP)—James Francis Cardinal McIntyre of Los Angeles donned his scarlet robes for the first time tonight as the 12th prince of the Roman Catholic church from the United States since 1875. The 66-year-old cardinal received the official notification, the biglietto, of his elevation to the sacred college in his throne room on the second floor of the North American Pontifical college. Awaits Message—It was the same room in which the United States’ first cardinal, Archbishop John McCloskey of New York, received his notification on March 15, 1875. The cardinal was still in his black cassock and wearing his archbishop’s red skull cap as he sat on a red-cushioned gilded throne awaiting the papal messengers. Giuseppe Calderoni, a papal chamberlain, directed the proceedings which were over almost as soon as they had started. Msgr. Thomas Ryan the papal messenger, approached in his black robes, accompanied by uniformed papal guards. Notification Delivered He handed the notification to Cardinal McIntyre who gravely removed it from its large white envelope. He read the ancient lettering and then handed the message to Bishop Martin J. O’Connor, rector of the college. Photographers’ bulbs flashed and the vatican’s courier departed. The new cardinal then donned his red robes and received the congratulations of the many who pressed about him. State to Buy $35,000 Worth Of OC Beaches SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The state division of beaches and parks plans to acquire $35,000 worth of beach property in Orange county during the next fiscal year, according to the 1953-54 budget submitted to the state legislature by Governor Earl Warren. The division has asked for that amount for Orange county in line with a $753,000 acquisition pro- Dr Giles Brown, head of the division of social sciences at Orange Coast college, yesterday gave the Anaheim Rotary club some of his observations on how the United States is regarded in Sweden, Germany, and Jugoslavia. In each place he detected a hesitant dislike of American policy. He said the Swedes feel they cannot join NATO because the organization could not come to Sweden's aid in a war emergency; and, the Swedes feel there is little use antagonizing Russia into moving into Finland in order to force Sweden. Dr Brown came to this conclusion from conversations in Stockholm. In Schleswig Germany, the speaker gained the impression that the Germans would not fight the Russians in an east-west war Germany, he believes, would prefer to be sealed off from the remainder of the world. It is difficult for the Germans to understand the United States could have so strongly favored Russia at one time, only to change its attitude completely and ask western Europe to prepare arms against the Soviet Germany. They point out, as fighting Russia at one time, and were opposed by American arms. Germans also resent the United States permitting England to dismantle much of Germany's industry. England is considered by the Germans to be a chief trade rival. It was Dr. Brown's opinion from seeing samples of American propaganda displaced in Belgrade that we are losing the "battle for minds of mankind by defective information" in Jugoslavia. He reminded his audience that the United States cannot "forget" the remainder of the world, that we must be able to do business with foreign countries because we are dependent on overseas areas for many critical minerals and other essential products. The speaker was introduced by Gordon Beisel. Arch Baker presided. Others heard from during the course of the meeting included Paul Demarcee, Jimmy Morris, Claude Owens Dr Howard Tews, Melbourne A. Gauer, Bernard Jordan, Claude Russell, Hank Walsworth, Dr Ed Jordt. E. B. Johnson, John Ganahl and Benjamin Stakemiller. $35,000 Worth Of OC Beaches SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The state division of beaches and parks plans to acquire $35,000 worth of beach property in Orange county during the next fiscal year, according to the 1953-54 budget submitted to the state legislature by Governor Earl Warren. The division has asked for that amount for Orange county in line with a $753,000 acquisition program for state beaches along the California shore line. Daily Living for Peace of Mind Editor's note: This is one of a series of daily articles by Anaheim ministers and is published by the Gazette in the interest of the kind of daily living that leads to contentment and happiness in troubled times. Sincere but Wrong By Rev WM. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church "It doesn't matter what one believes, just so he is sincere," said a High School youth to me recently." "O, but doesn't it?" The Good Book says, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." (Proverbs 23:7). It takes more than sincerity. A man might be ever so sincere and still be wrong. Dr Rufus M Jones, that prince among Quakers, shortly before his death, addressing a delegation of ministers at University of Southern California, told us of a consecrated doctor of the old school, who drove through a blizzard for four hours to minister to a farm boy who had an injured foot. When the doctor got there, he found that the scalpel he had with him was too dull to operate on the foot. Someone went out to the barn and brought in a whetstone upon which the doctor sharpened his scalpel and went on with the operation. The whetstone was not sterilized and the boy's foot became infected and later had to be amputated. The doctor was consecrated, and sincere, but he wasn't cautious enough to sterilize the scalpel. So, there are many well-meaning, sincere, consecrated people who follow the wrong leader. Perhaps they don't use the best intelligence they have, but go aimlessly along following a blind leader, and you know what happens—"They both fall into the ditch." (Matthew 15:14). The good Lord expects us to not only be sincere and consecrated, but to use the best common sense and not be satisfied with last year's learnings but to keep striving to know better how to carry out His programme in our lives.
