Few contemporary historians are better equipped than Costello, to know facts behind the Soviet Infiltration plan. For four years in the thirties he was located in Hawaii, spending the war years in Washington, D.C. where he covered Churchill-Roosevelt grand strategy step by step through Europe and the Pacific.
In 1946 he was back in the Pacific area, this time as CBS network's director of news broadcasts for all Asia. Four years of constant travel took him from Japan to Korea, China, the Philippines, Hongkong, Indochina, Siam, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.
In 1950 Costello was assigned coverage of the Korean war, and for five months he shuttled back and forth from Korean trenches to Tokyo's radio transmitter.
Making another survey of Southern Asia, he resumed coverage of national political affairs in Washington and recently has been featured as CBS White House correspondent during terms of both Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower.
The proposed new routing follows the existing highway on Newport and Tustin aves. to a point just north of the future extension of the Santa Ana Freeway near Main st. in Tustin. There it leaves the existing route on Tustin ave., curving easterly and paralleling the present highway about a quarter of a mile east.
State Engineers G. T. McCoy was requested to determine whether local authorities wish the Commission to hold a public hearing before further action was taken.
Future plans of the Division of Highways call for initial construction as a four-lane divided expressway, with provision for ultimate expansion to a six-lane full freeway. Grade separations are proposed at major intersections.
State engineers estimate the initial cost at approximately $11,854,000, including rights of way. Start of construction would be dependent on the availability of future highway funds.

PLYWOOD in hardwood species such as oak, mahogany, walnut, birch, maple and gum is a boon to the home craftsman who likes to turn out pieces with the true fine furniture look. Economical, practical and easy to handle, hardwood plywood is a material with which every workshop hobbyist should be familiar.
For a starter, here's a project that is useful as well as decorative—a set of "TV trays." Made to nest neatly together, when not in use, they are just the thing for serving snacks to television viewers and at any buffet occasion.
The tray tops are simply pieces of 1/4-inch hardwood plywood, 14"x16", of a species to harmonize with the room furnishings. They fit into wood blocks cut from a length of 2"x4", lumber, preferably of a like species, although a contrasting or dark stained wood may be used if desired. Metal rods set into the blocks serve as legs.
These blocks are the key pieces. They serve as handles and join the parts. The first step is to cut eight 8-inch lengths of 2"x4", two for each of the four trays. Next, diagonal cuts are made from points 3/4-inch in from each side of the block top to the extreme ends of the base. (The same result can be obtained by cutting the 2"x4" into trapezoids by a series of diagonal cuts, alternating their direction. The bottom lengths should be 6" and the top lengths 4 1/4"). The corners of one face of each block then are rounded on a radius of about 3/4-inch.
The third step is to cut 3/4-inch from the rounded face, which is to be the handle side. Extend the cut from the base to 3/4-inch from top, then cut in diagonally from the face at a point 3/4-inch from the top. (See side view of handle detail.) The protruding edge forms a convenient finger lift.
On the reverse face, 1 inch from the top, make a 3/4-inch mortise.
SIDE VIEW
½-inch into the block. Then drill two 3/4-inch holes into the base to a depth of 1 1/4-inch. These holes should be centered on the narrow dimension and drilled at an angle paralleling the slanting side, with a space of 7/16-inch between the slanting surface and the hole. These measurements are important to insure proper nesting.
All that remains now is to glue
END VIEW
the plywood panels into the mortises and to fit 24" lengths of metal rod into the leg holes. If desired, the gluing may be supplemented by toe-nailing from the underside. Rubber caps should be fitted over the bottoms of the legs. Finish the plywood top as you would any fine furniture.
Many leading lumber dealers carry hardwood plywood in regular stock or will get it quickly on order.
