Strong Winds We 62 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 VOLUME LXXXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY Ike, GOP House Tax No Tax Hikes Of Any Sort, Simpson Asserts WASHINGTON (UP)—An open growing clash between President Eisenhower and key house Republicans over tax policy was underscored Wednesday as a house committee said tax reduction "must" be the first order of business in congress. Denies Ike's Argument The ways and means committee took its stand in a report to the house. It repudiated Eisenhower's argument that tax cuts must be deferred until a balanced budget is in sight. Meanwhile, influential house Republicans dashed cold water on another view expressed by Eisenhower Tuesday. The president Denies Ike's Argument The ways and means committee took its stand in a report to the house. It repudiated Eisenhower's argument that tax cuts must be deferred until a balanced budget is in sight. Meanwhile, influential house Republicans dashed cold water on another view expressed by Eisenhower Tuesday. The president took the position that if the excess profits tax on business is to expire June 30—as scheduled under present law — new revenue must be found to replace the loss. An informed government source said he expected this substitute to be proposed by the treasury: A temporary increase of two per centage points in the surtax rate on regular corporation income—boosting the top corporate rate from 52 to 54 per cent. No Tax Increase But Rep Simpson (R-Pa.) said emphatically "There will be no tax increases of any sort in this session of congress." Simpson is third ranking Republican and an influential member of the ways and means group. Chairman Reed (R-NY) already has taken a similarly strong stand. "I am confident that congress will not extend the excess profits tax nor will it increase corporate rates," Simpson said. "There is no possibility that excess or individual taxes will be increased." Permits Issued For 250-Home East-End Tract The development of a new tract of 250 homes at Anaheim-Olive rd. and Placentia ave. will begin soon with the construction of 96 houses as the first portion. The new tract, to be called the Broadway-Center tract, will be built by the same interests who constructed the Bonded home tracts. Plans for the initial construction call for eight homes, 840 sq. ft. in size, to be built at a cost of $7000. In larger homes, 11 houses of 1103 sq. ft. are planned, with the estimated cost at $9000. The remaining homes, costing $7800, will average 965 sq. ft. in size. A $15,000 home will be constructed by Kenneth Benson, 758 N. Citron, at 1447 Wedgewood dr. Edward Bubla, of the Central hotel, was given a permit by the city building department to build a duplex with garages. AUHS Cadets on Camp Pendleton Inspection Tour Fifty-four officers and men of the Anaheim Union High school unit of the California Cadet Corps were among the 650 cadets who participated in a field inspection Marine training at Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, yesterday. Maj. Ralph Comstock, AUHS unit commandant, was in charge of the local cadets, assisted by the following cadet officers: Maj. Richard Wagoner, Capt. Donald Gaylor, 1st Lt. Bruce Thomas, 2nd Lt. Paul Salazar, Bill Johnson and Bill Moreno. The cadets were met at Pendleton by Col. Walter N. Flournoy, commanding officer of the First Infantry Training Regiment, and were welcomed to the camp by Maj. Gen. Oliver P. Smith, commanding general. Among the training demonstrations witnessed by the cadets were those involving the use and combat role of small arms, side arms, rifle, grenades and the automatic rifle: 60mm and 81mm mortars, machine guns, rocket launchers, flame throwers and the 75mm recoilless rifle. For the benefit of the cadets, a re-inforced Marine rifle platoon staged a realistic assault on a civil service board, three suspended officers, Motorcycle Officer Harrel Davis, president of the Twelve AUHS Students Leave for Model Legislature at Sacramento A delegation of 12 junior and senior Anaheim Union High school students left yesterday morning for Sacramento to attend the YMCA's Fifth Annual Model Legislature today, tomorrow and Saturday. Phil Wright will serve as Lieutenant Governor. Senators are Kevin Stanton and Shirley Panier: Assemblymen are Jan Larson, Charllyn Schmid, Gerie Glover and Gretchen Decker. Bob Stebbins, Reynette Wallace, Jim Moore, Ann Betts and Glenda Mungerson went as delegates in training. Mrs. Nan Moore accompanied the young people. Annual Event As a climax to the year-round youth and government citizenship training program, the Model Legislature is a regular "Y" event in 26 states and the Territory of Hawaii. 302 high school boys and girls will take over the reins of government in the State Capitol beginning today. Governor Earl Warren will address the opening session. Members of the Hi-Y and Tri-HI-Y clubs have spent five months preparing for the event, studying the mechanics of state government and writing the bills they must submit for passage. Sixteen particiating delegations will each introduce one Senate or Assembly bill. The young law-makers have prepared more legislation on narcotics and reckless driving than on any other subject. The Anaheim group is sponsoring a bill outlawing draw poker in the state. It was originally drawn up by Bob Stebbins. Traffic Hearing Slated This morning the Anaheim youth will also attend a hearing before the State Traffic commission where Jan Larson will present the 1000 name petition of the high school student body calling for traffic signals for the corner of Center and Citron streets. Along with the Anaheim City Council, Senator John Murdy and Assemblyman Leroy Lyon have requested a traffic survey of the dangerous corner where many accidents have occurred. Senator Murdy was able to arrange the hearing to coincide with the time the students would be in Sacramento. Meat-Stealing Boy Ambitious to Become Policeman Traced as the thief who ran off with an armful of meat from the locker at the rear of Marya Malt shop. 515 S. Main st., Sanita Ana, during the early hour of last Sunday, an 18-year-old Santa Ana youth disclosed to police first that he had taken five pound roast instead of five pounds as reported by Owned Fred Kibbey; second, that he had already taken his preinduction physical examination for the army and third, when he gets out of the army he wants to become a policeman. The youth already has a police record, but hardly the kind that would qualify him to be a police man, officers pointed out. He said he would turn over a new leaf.

(AP Wirephoto) Sta Mesa Petitioners Qualify for City Incorporation Election petitions certified by County Clerk B. J. Smith to the Orange county Board of Supervisors. This was 50 above the required 903 signatures, representing one-fourth of the 3612 property owners within the area proposed for incorporation. Requirement Exceeded The property involved represents an assessed land valuation of $2,555,680. Represented on the incorporation petitions were owners of land assessed at $678,660, which exceeded by about $40,000 the required 25 per cent of the total valuation. Supervisors have not yet set the date of a public hearing on the determination of boundary lines, which must precede the calling of an election. Property owners protesting inclusion of their lands in the proposed new city will be heard at the time boundaries are fixed.

Estimate 16,000 Population Christmas Seal Sale Reported Best in History Orange county's Christmas Seal sale fight against dread tuberculosis was reported today as the most successful in county history. Returns for the 1952 Christmas Seal sales are $51,700 to date; the highest in county history and $1700 over the top of the goal set by the Orange county Tuberculosis and Health Association, Dr. Ralph C. Smedley and Mrs. Wayne Reafsnyder, co-chairmen of the Seal sale reported. Urgging continued support of the drive, the officials, who disclosed returns are still coming in, said now is the time for those still planning to make Christmas Seal sale contributions to do so. "Topping the goal gives the Orange county Tuberculosis and Health Association the financial shot in the arm it needed for necessary expansion in patient services, rehabilitation and case finding surveys." "We now have taken the initiative in the battle against tuberculosis and hope to keep it. But continued funds are needed to keep us on top so we can probe deeper into high TB incident areas with a stepped-up patch testing and X-ray programs," they said.

Short Circuit Causes Blaze A short Krucuit in an over-hanging wire behind the Anaheim Hosiery Mills. 312 N. Los Angeles st., touched off a blaze yesterday, but was extinguished before destroying any property. The fire, breaking out near the point it was attached to the telephone pole, ran the length of the wire, up to the rear of the building and fell to the ground. Other possible points where the fire might have broken out again were checked by the fire department, but none were located.

Estimate 16,000 Population The 1950 census showed approximately 11,000 persons living within this area. The Home Rule committee sponsoring incorporation, as opposed to another group seeking annexation to Newport Beach, estimates the present population at 16,000. If incorporated, Costa Mesa will be the 15th city formed in Orange county. Buena Park incorporated at an election last month. Wind Blows Out Anaheim Lights Street lights throughout Anaheim were shut off for 12 minutes last night, shortly after 7 p.m., when strong winds blew down an overhead electrical wire near the Kwikset plant. During the 12 minutes interval, emergency repairs were effected, and permanently adjusted following the re-lighting of the streets. Winds caused interference with electric lighting throughout various parts of the city yesterday and during the evening, but no serious power failure was reported. Boys Held on Marihuana Charae Santa Ana police yesterday took into custody two 16-year-old Mexican boys, one of whom said he had placed an order with the other for delivery of two marijuana cigarettes at a price of $1.50. Delivery of the cigarettes was made the following day; both boys admitted. The seller explained to police that he had received the cigarettes from a Mexican hitchhiker. The two boys are held at the county juvenile home in Santa Ana. Weather Southern California — Clock Thursday and Friday expose some cloudiness Northern range Thursday; slightly warmer Friday; strong north to northern winds Thursday; decrease Thursday night; locally whiten in mountains Friday; blow dust and sand locally Thursday. California Cities Gusts Reach 82 MPH, Whipping Many Wires; Storm Warnings Fly on Coast LOS ANGELES (P)—High winds, with gusts up to 82 miles an hour, churned up dust clouds in Southern California’s parched fields Wednesday, fanned the flames of two industrial area fires and sent storm warnings up along the coast. Wind-whipped flames rained through a suburban market, enveloping the structure in less than 10 minutes. Another fire quickly swept through two square blocks of stored boxes in the industrial district. The humidity was down under-dry 29 per cent. Storm warning flags mapped the coast from Point Conception to Oceanside for north-west winds 20 to 30 miles an hour; gusts up to 50 mph. Small light warnings were up from Seaside to San Diego. Another fire in Hollywood head through two houses; twoages and two outbuildings. It was so windy in Los Angeles that police removed many "no turn" signs from intersections because they were being blown away. Water Taxi Endangered A small water taxi, the Pacifi, was forced by high waves to back to Catalina Island after it was half way to the mainland. Wednesday night, it left Catalina at 4 p.m. with winds of miles an hour but two hours later was less than 10 miles out. Of 43 persons aboard were killed as waves broke over the se vessel. Early everyone aboard was stuck and Seth Yarbrogh, 65, of Lag Beach, was taken to a hospital, a possible heart attack sufferer. Three Men Missing Supervisors Refuse to Pay For County Beach Erosion Demanding that the federal government shoulder full responsibility for shoreline erosion at Seal Beach and Surfside, caused by construction of the San Pedro-Long Beach breakwater, the Orange county Board of Supervisors has refused to contribute funds for repair of damage and corrective measures. Extension of the breakwater, to give future protection to the Seal Beach-Surfside area, including the Anaheim Bay harbor of the Navy's Seal Beach Net and Ammunition Depot, is necessary, according to reports from both the Army Engineers and the supervisors’ own consulting engineer J. A. Woolley of Santa Ana. One-Month Lag Indicated But the legislation adopted by congress in 1946, Public Law 727, which requires matching funds from the county for any protective work along the coast line, does not apply to the Seal Beach situation, the supervisors contend. They point out that the Army Engineers original report recommending extension of the breakwater, was made one month before passage of Public Law 727. For that reason, and further boo Authorities Search Causes Of Hay Fires The sixth fire in the Cypress area, destroying a hay storage barn at the Jake Van Dyke dairy valued at $1300, spurred county fire authorities in an attempt to discover the origin thus far undetermined, of the fires. Five of the fires have burned dairy hay barns, while the sixth destroyed a two-story frame house, with a total loss of nearly $100,000. County Fire Warden Joe Sherman has asked dairymen in the area to divide their hay into isolated blocks, in order to cut down the loss in the advent of future blazes. Van Dyke, anticipating the possibility of a fire, had checked the burned barn only 15 minutes before it started, he told investigators. Roadblocks were immediately set up in the surrounding area, but to no avail. The dairy fires have been limited to hay and barn destruction, consuming an average of 230 tons of hay, valued at between $16,000 and $20,000 each time, with the exception of last Saturday's fire. In that blaze, at the Van Demelle dairy, several trucks and tractors burned in addition to the hay and barn.

It was disclosed by records of County Building Inspector Charles Donohue, which show a total valuation of $435,571 for the entire unincorporated territory of the county for the period. Anaheim area permits included a $19,000 residence for M. A. Salben at 11062 Cerritos ave., and a $6000 residence for Ray Landon at 9787 La Palma ave. Garden Grove again led the unincorporated communities of the county in total valuation of permits, with $133,458. Costa-Mesa was next with $75,965, and Stanton third with $56,600.

A New Look at 'Don'ts' By REV. WM. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church There is a group of moderns whose dictum is never say "No" to a child without giving a reason. In other words explain why or make an indirect substitution for the plain old-fashioned "No," upon which the past generations since the Garden of Eden episode were raised. When you tell your three year old growing child that coffee isn't good for him, or that a growing boy or girl should not smoke any kind of cigarettes, you don't bother to explain about caffeine, or nicotine. You might as well read to him Karl Marx's Das Kapital, or Butler's Analogy, or Tennyson's poems, all of which is over his head. The Bible in many, many places says, "Thou shalt not," and often does not bother to give any reason. Half of us wouldn't understand it if an angel did try to make it clear to us. God doesn't have to tell us why we cannot do this or that. He sets up a hedge to keep us from going astray. We are hedged in with law—natural law, civil law, commercial law, moral law, ecclesiastical law, international law. Law is the throne upon which the Almighty sits. There are many cases where people have objected to the "Don'ts" only to encounter other "Don'ts", have broken over the restraints, and have shut themselves out of heaven. Don'ts are railings put along life's foot bridge. Of course, they limit our liberty in a way, but they also limit our danger. The night may be dark, the sky may be starless and those railings are our protection. Would you allow your child to walk across the bridge without the protecting railing? "Whoso breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him." (Ecclesiastes 10:8). The hedge, the railing, the "Don't"—these are your protection and not for the purpose of tormenting you.
