Poverty and Wonders of India Described at Kiwanis Meeting The fascinating wonders of India were described to the Anaheim Kiwanis club yesterday by L. G. Moore, past president of the Santa Ana Kiwanis club, who recently returned from a three month tour of India. "There is much poverty in India," he said. The majority of the people are homeless, and never have enough food on which to live. The barren mud huts, roofted with straw, were described by Moore, who told of the "street of cages," or prostitutes row, the magnificence of the famed Taj Mahal, and the odd customs observed by the Indian people. According to Moore, he was told by the head of the chemistry department at the University of Bombay, the richest area in India, that the poverty found in that country was a problem of the white man. "Years ago," the university professor said, "plague killed off the population which could not be supported. Now, with the introduction of serums and health programs by the white people, the population of the country has increased tremendously. The productivity of the nation has not been increased to provide for the increase in population, however." It has been advocated by the government that the solution to the problem lies in birth control, he said. "Against the wishes of our guide, I gave a little girl some money," the Santa Ana traveler said, "In 30 seconds, I was surrounded by people asking for money, who tore at my clothes when I refused." The guide later explained their actions by saying that the people felt that they had done as much for the tourist as had the little girl, and if she was entitled to some money, so were they.

Volcano Shakes Alaska Peninsula KODIAK, Alaska (AP) — Two heavy new volcanic eruptions shook the isolated Mt. Katmai monument area of the Alaska Peninsula Tuesday. They apparently were the heaviest occurring in three successive days of such disturbances. The eruptions occurred 10 minutes apart at about 9:15 a.m. PST, relayed messages from the area said. Great clouds of smoke and fumes were shot thousands of feet into the air, well above a 6000-foot overcast. Messages telling of the new eruptions were received at Fairbanks and Anchorage, relayed from the King Salmon station, some 60 miles northwest of the Mt. Katmai area. Pilots of military planes in the area radioed the King Salmon station that they still could not see the mountain which was erupting, due to the smoke and overcast. During the past two days, since the first eruption on Sunday a dense pall of ash and smoke has billowed over the whole area, swept along by the prevailing winds. Repeated attempts by planes to penetrate the clouds and identify the spewing volcano have failed. The King Salmon station is an airline communication center. The erupting volcano has been tentatively identified as either Mt. Trident or Mt. Mageik, 7000-foot mountains in the area. There are no villages in the thinly-settled wilderness area around the Mt. Katmai monument that there is no law specifying the president or lish naval petroleum But, he said, the supreme has ruled that the president not need express statutoryity "to set aside lands of the ed States and reserve the public use."

Some labor shortages are beginning to appear in the central and south coast areas in vegetable and sugar beet planting and thinning. Hayes said.

Legality of Oil Grant to Navy by Truman Queried BY HARRISON B. HUMPHRIES WASHINGTON (P)—Two congressional committees wrestled Tuesday with legal questions surrounding former President Truman's order putting the navy in charge of off-shore oil lands. The question is: When is a naval petroleum reserve not a naval petroleum reserve? Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell reaffirmed to a house judiciary subcommittee his opinion that Truman's executive order last month did not create a naval petroleum reserve within the meaning of the petroleum reserve act. All it did, Brownell said, was transfer administration of the offshore area from the interior to the navy department. Petroleum reserves, he added, are created by act of congress. Brownell's opinion was welcome to legislators who are driving to give the states clear title to the submerged lands. But on the senate side of the capitol, a member of the senate interior committee disagreed with Brownell. Sen. Murray (D-Mont.) submitted a memorandum conceding that there is no law specifically authorizing the president to establish naval petroleum reserves. But, he said, the supreme court has ruled that the president does not need express statutory authority "to set aside lands of the United States and reserve them for public use." Sen. Anderson (D-NM), another member of the interior committee, interpreted Brownell's opinion as meaning that the Truman order, while creating a naval petroleum reserve, did not provide for its administration under the HOME WAS NEVER LIKE THIS—Goldie the lioness looks down a suddenly deserted Memphis, Tenn., street (top) after escaping from her cage during a circus matinee in a downtown auditorium.

Congress Asked To Restore Aid To Calif. Schools WASHINGTON (AP) — Three California congressmen will ask the house Wednesday to restore $24 million dollars to an appropriation bill for federal aid to schools. Reps. Condon, Moss and Hagen, Democrats, said in a statement California schools near federal defense installations would lose $4,-968,000 unless congress overrides a recommendation of the house appropriations committee. They said the school districts are entitled to the federal aid because overcrowded schools are a direct result of the establishment of defense industries. "Many of these districts are completely out of funds and will have no way of financing operations unless the money is restored," their statement said.

WASHINGTON (AP)—President Eisenhower expressed assurance Tuesday that his administration will be able to cope with falling farm prices which he described as a problem inherited from the Democrats. At his first news conference as president, the new chief executive brought up the subject himself. His evident intention was to meet head-on on the criticism, largely from Democratic quarters, that his secretary of agriculture, Ezra Benson, has done nothing about the declining markets. Selected Issues Opening the news conference with volunteer comments on selected issues, Eisenhower emphasized the importance he attaches to the farm problem by putting first. He pointed up his reference to inheritance with a statement that the Republicans have been in office only a few weeks and farm prices have been dropping for two years. Start Study. There has been time for little more than a start on earnest study of the problem, Eisenhower said, but he intends to do his best to carry out the GOP platform pledge "a prosperous agriculture with free and independent farmers." He laid about equal stress on the two ideas of prosperity and freedom in developing his views on a subject which he called a serious farming. Eisenhower said control over an industry through arbitrary power is easy, but emphasized that such system is a thing he doesn't want either in national life generally or in dealing with farmers. Strresses Livestock Putting the stress on livestock, congressional discussion has one, the president used live cattle prices as a sample of the market drop. He said the peak was passed in February, 1951, and on Jan. 19, 1952, cattle were selling at $34.22 a hundredweight. By November, he said, the price was down to $31 and by Jan. 24 this year to $24.51.

So join the Payroll Savings Plan Predict Gasoline Tax to be Raised SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Proposed gasoline tax increases will get tougher treatment in the California legislature as a result of increases in gasoline prices by major western oil companies. This prediction was made today (Monday) by Assemblyman Julian Beck, San Fernando, and Senator Harold T. Johnson of Roseville. Beck, chairman of the assembly committee on manufacturing, oil and mining industries, said he expected the price increases. "The 2-cent price increase will not create as much of a public fuss as the proposed cent and a half tax increase will when it comes up before the legislature," he commented. Johnson said he anticipated constituents generally would oppose any increase in gasoline taxes as a result of the price hikes. "The increases definitely will hinder the chance for a good highway construction program for California," he declared. "We may not get a cent and a half tax increase through the legislature now." Beck said he saw no intent of the oil companies to discourage passage of a gasoline tax increase by boosting their prices at this time. He noted the firms had applied for the price raises some time ago. "I wish, however, President Elsenhower would have hung on to controls until April so we could have passed the state gas tax boost first," said Beck.
