FJC Enrollment Reaches 5-Year Record Figure Enrollment figures at Fullerton Junior college are the highest this February than for any spring semester in the last five years, 886 registered and the total expected to reach 1000. The new enrollment represents an increase of 60 students, or approximately five per cent, over the spring semester of 1952, said Robert C. Rockwell, registrar. Overall enrollment for the year has increased slightly each recent year. Most striking jump is in the number of veterans on campus, Rockwell pointed out. During the fall semester there were 81 veterans enrolled under the GI bill or the new Korean war GI bill; 120 have enrolled so far for the spring semester. These figures do not include a number of veterans not enrolled under any of the veterans' educational assistance bills. The increase has come despite the fact that, in general, there are usually fewer students in the spring semester than in the previous September. Many students who were enrolled in the first semester had completed the major portion of their registration before the actual registration day. This was the result of a new "pre-registration" procedure set up last year. Of 850 students pre-registering from the first semester, 844 completed registration Feb. 2, beginning of the new semester. Applications for enrollment are still being received, said Rockwell. Although students may register until March 2, he emphasized that earlier enrollment would be better since work missed would have to be made up. Enrollment is open to students who wish to attend full or part time, to gain college credit or to audit courses. Frank Pollard Returning Home SAN DIEGO, Calif—Scheduled senior class play at Fullerton Union High school, to be presented Friday and Saturday evenings, Feb. 20 and 21, in the auditorium. Terry O'Brien, about whom much of the action moves, will play the part of a fighter, Joe Pendleton. Although not dead after an accident, Joe's body is mistakenly burned and his spirit arranges for occupation of other human forms in order to stay with the living. At the very gates of heaven, Joe turns his back on the spirit world and returns to the earthly sphere with the understanding that "heaven can wait" for a more appropriate time later in his life, after much more living has been enjoyed. Remainder of the play is concerned with Joe's spirit continuing life, full of Joe's original sporting enthusiasms, in physical bodies not completely adapted to his ambitions. In one case, the fighter's spirit inhabits a non-athletic New York millionaire who, to the amazement of friends, suddenly drops his ordinary inactive mode of living to become a ring trainee and "hot sax" fan. Love troubles interfere with Joe's continued existence as the sports-minded millionaire. He is shot by his confidential secretary (played by Bob Field), and the "disembodied" spirit occupies another earthly form, that of Prize Fighter K. O. Murdock. Eventually Joe, in Murdock's form, finds Joe's first love, Betty (Sheryl Weible), and the play ends happily with boy and girl in complete understanding. Father of Local Woman Dies Charley L.

ANAH RADIA REPAIR Rear Crowd 252 No Los Angeles PHONE UC Regents' Blast at State Budget Draws Bitter Rebutfal from Warren SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The feud between Gov. Earl Warren and his appointee of the board of regents of the University of California, John Francis Neylan, eminent San Francisco attorney, reached major proportions recently when the governor cracked back at Neylan on the subject of the 1953-54 state budget. Speaking at the Commonwealth club in San Francisco, where Neylan took the budget, along with Warren's fiscal policies, apart in one of those rare speeches that only the master of oratory can make, the governor came back at his regen with both fists cocked and in a fighting stance. Although he did not dignify mentioning Neylan by name, he declared those persons who criticize his budget "do not usually make a lasting impression because the public invariably gets its bearings on every public question and when it does, it is not disposed to permit personal venom, a sour stomach, or a jaundiced outlook on life, control its judgment." With relation to his billion, three hundred million dollar document, largest in the history of the state, Warren said "there never was a budget of this size and complexity that attained perfection, and I make no pretense for this one." He admitted the document was subject to human imperfections, but declared It was an honest effort "to interpret into governmental administration the policies of the legislature and the will of the people." Neylan came under particular attack during the speech when the governor pointed out that "the University or California is administered not by the state government, but by the board of regents, a corporation." "And surely your speaker of a few weeks ago (Neylan) cannot complain much about its budget because he has been a member of the board of regents for 25 years, a member of its finance committee for many years, and has never, until this year, when his phobias entirely supplanted his reason and sense of fair play, complained about the budget of the university." Some of the governor's secretaries mentioned, with a slight amount of pertubation that Neylan's term as a regent still has six years to go. This means the governor can't fire him for insubordination, or talking out of turn. Neylan charged in his speech that the state government costs five times as much as in 1943. He said because of its expansion, a depression could bring on chaos. Neveland declared: "Only a mountebank would claim to be able to determine with mathematical exactness how much of the increase from $247 million in 1943 to a billion, two hundred million in 1953, is warranted by..."

Navy Men in Submarine Test—Members of the crew of the USS Haddock play cards in the crew's dinette as they take part in a two-month test of physical endurance. The men are sealed in the sub under conditions which would prevail were the sub constantly under water for that period. The trial is preliminary to design of atomic powered U-boats capable of remaining submerged indefinitely. This picture was made during the actual test. Films were taken ashore through air locks by which scientists, doctors and technicians make nearly daily checks of progress of the trial at New London, Conn.

But not until last year did Sumatran wells start adding to available oil supplies. places—more oil for you In Sumatra back in 1924, Standard geologists began mapping possible deposits of oil. But not until last year did Sumatran wells start adding to available oil supplies. This operation, costing some $62 million to date, was pioneered by Standard. It is now carried on jointly with The Texas Company under the name "Caltex." Into San Francisco Bay come tankers carrying Sumatran crude—returns on the long gamble. Standard undertook nearly 30 years ago. Other shipments go elsewhere in the world, aiding progress and adding defensive strength. Four frieddy nations in particular benefit directly. First, of course, is the young Indonesian Republic, of which Sumatra is a part. Then Australia, Japan and the Philippines. They produce practically no oil of their own, but will be supplied in the near future by refineries which Caltex is helping to build. And, of course, the Sumatran oil brought into this country helps keep you in gasoline and the many other petroleum products you've come to rely on. Standard's activities abroad, typified by this flow of Sumatran crude, are constantly being expanded, as an added guarantee that petroleum needs of the free world will continue to be met.
