BLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. THIS COLUMN IS given over this week to the department of Civil Defense and Disaster Relief of Orange county, with offices in the court house at Santa Ana. Some people will argue that the Russians aren't capable of producing atom or hydrogen bombs. I don't agree with this complacent attitude. Russia has as many natural resources as we have, and a whole passel of brilliant German scientists at her disposal. I claim the Russians can do just about anything in their country that we can do in ours except live happily. At any rate, listen to what the Civil Defense officials would have us remember: "Almost complete apathy of the public toward Civil Defense since World War II is speedily disappearing, thanks to rejuvenated interest by the press and radio of Southern California and the nation. For the first time since Pearl Harbor, the man in the street is giving thought to his own safety in the case of major disaster." Concurrent with atom bomb tests in Nevada and revelations by the Atomic Energy Commission that a nuclear explosion could contaminate an area as great as 7000 square miles, Mr. and Mrs. Assistance League 'Starlight Ball' A. "Starlight Ball" will be the next benefit affair sponsored by the Junior Assistance League. It will be held on Saturday night, April 30, at the Santa Ana Country Club according to arrangements made at a meeting on Monday night at the home of Mrs. W. A. Sutherland, 804 S. Los Angeles St. Mrs. Cortez Hoskins, Jr., and Mrs. Jay Reed are to be co-chairmen, Mrs. Jack Suiter will be in charge of decorations, and Mrs. M. W. Little, refreshments. Bids were handed to the group by Mrs. Norbert Elmers. A four-dollar donation per couple will aid the League's philanthropies. Reports were given on the dental clinic at the Orange County hospital, staffed two days a week by League members. Mrs. Kenton Wines said the clinic would operate until summer vacation. A crew was named to prepare and deliver Easter envelopes for the Society for Crippled Children and Adults of Orange county, and volunteers were sought for assistance with the Red Cross Drive at headquarters. Co-hostesses who served a dessert appropriate for George Washington's birthday were Mrs. W. K. Suiter and Mrs. M. W. Little. The next meeting will be on March 21 at the home of Mrs. James Morris, 10801 E. Broadway. Y.M.C.A. Again to Sponsor Luncheons The 30th Annual Men's Lenten Luncheons sponsored by the Ana-Maria College. General Motors Enjoys Year of Achievement Here on the eve of their glittering Motorama the heads of General Motors Corporation called attention to what was going on in the automobile business pointing to a year of "outstanding achievement" for General Motors in 1954, marked by total sales within two per cent of the all-time record set in 1953 despite 29 per cent decline in defense sales, Harlow H. Curtice, president, and Alfred P. Sloan, J.D., chairman of the board, announced in their annual report which so will be distributed to 488,000 shareholders. General Motors U. S. and Cranidian factory sales of car truck units also approximate 1953 volume. Factory sales of vehicles produced in GM overseas manufacturing plants set new records.

Net sales were $9,824 million for 1954. Net income of $806 million was eight per cent of sales. Earnings on the common stock were $793 million. In 1953, sales were $10,028 million and income amounted to $598 million or six per cent of sales. Substantial progress achieved in virtually all areas the business," the report stated in commenting on 1954 operation "Sales closely approached the end volume of 1953." disappearing, thanks to rejuvenated interest by the press and radio of Southern California and the nation. For the first time since Pearl Harbor, the man in the street is giving thought to his own safety in the case of major disaster. "Concurrent with atom bomb tests in Nevada and revelations by the Atomic Energy Commission that a nuclear explosion could contaminate an area as great as 7000 square miles, Mr. and Mrs. John Doe have decided that Civil Defense or "self-help" is the answer to their problems... "What can we do?' people are asking officials throughout the state. The answer, if forthcoming at all, varies from programs such as are being developed in Orange county, to Indefinite information from higher levels. "Here, the answer to 'what shall we do in a major disaster,' is 'DUCK AND COVER.'" "Not only is this a 'catchy' phrase, but it is designated to accomplish the one most important thing, should the disaster strike—to save as many lives as possible among the populations living in the area. It is designed by Civil Defense authorities as a quick protection which will later allow them to recover and give aid to others less fortunate. "Simple procedures advocated by civil defense co-ordinators which can be put into being both before and during an emergency, will be the means of saving thousands of lives in any area hit by disaster. These include: 1. Take immediate cover in case a RED alert is sounded. 2. Stay protected until the ALL CLEAR IS GIVEN BY AUTHORITIES. 3. Make use of pre-arranged food, water and medical supplies. "It is important to know the ALERT sounds. When an air raid is believed imminent, authorities will sound a three-minute warning on all air raid sirens and horns. The blasts may be a continuous walling by sirens or short, urgent blasts on the horn-type signals used by many cities. Also, radio and television stations will leave the air on regular programs and broadcast on the now-famous 'Conelrad' frequency of 640 and 1240 kilocycles. All radios should be tuned to these frequencies for official information." If possible, take urgent preparation for the entire series with the five sub-titles as follows: "The Thinker", "The Spectator", "The Politician", "The Newcomer", and "The Realtor". The Rev. Frank Butterworth, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, will open the series next Wednesday on the subject "The Thinker."

Kuchel of California, top Republican member of the Senate sub-committee considering bills to admit Alaska and Hawaii as 49th and 50th states, intends to force a showdown revealing which Congress members in each party favor and oppose entry of the territories as full-Hedged members of the Union. Kuchel, who is on record as feeling each territory should have equal status with the present 48 states, declared that both Republican and Democratic parties have advocated statehood and their promises "ought to be kept." The California Senator's purpose is to prevent a coalition of foes of statehood for one territory or the other from killing the chances of statehood for both. This happened last year when, after the Senate approved a double-barreled bill covering both Alaska and Hawaii, the legislation was blocked in the House because different factions fighting admission of each territory joined forces, successfully bottling up the legislation which the two chambers of Congress previously had approved in varying forms.

This happened last year when, after the Senate approved a double-barreled bill covering both Alaska and Hawaii, the legislation was blocked in the House because different factions fighting admission of each territory joined forces successfully bottling up the legislation which the two chambers of Congress previously had approved in varying forms. Admitting there is continuing opposition to taking in the territories, Kuchel declared this week: "The national platforms of both the Republican and Democratic parties pledge immediate statehood for the territory of Hawaii. In the case of the territory of Alaska, the Democratic platform pledges immediate statehood; the Republican platform is worded in this manner: We favor statehood for Alaska under an equitable enabling act." "Last year I voted and spoke for statehood for Hawaii and also for statehood for Alaska, I believe that both great political parties have made a promise or commitment to the American people and that promise ought to be kept."
