Washington REPORT By Your Congressman JAMES R. UTT I am writing this report just a few minutes after the roll call vote supporting the President's veto of the Rural Electrification Bill by a slender margin of 280 to 146. As it takes a two-thirds vote to override a presidential veto, the veto was sustained by a margin off our votes. Only four Democrats voted to support the President this was the first attempt this year to override the President's veto and was purely political, and constituted the first frontal attack against the recommendations of the Hoover Commission. The Senate had just overridden the veto by a margin of two votes. A Bit of Irony An interesting sidelight occurred in the Senate during this roll call. It looked like the Democrats were short one vote. A certain Senator, a violent critic of Secretary Benson, as well as President Elsehower, was flying in to Washington. It was a rainy, miserable day, and dozens of transports were stacked up above the International Airport, waiting their turn for landing clearance. The wayward Senator was near the top of the stack. Senator Magnuson, Democratic chairman of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Federal Aviation Agency, called that agency and demanded that the plane carrying the absent Senator be brought down out of turn. Former Bellflower Publisher Buys Share in Anaheim Gazette Theodore B. Kuchel, publisher of the Anaheim Gazette, announced this week that Bert J. Abraham, former publisher of the Bellflower Herald-Enterprise, and immediate past president of the California Newspaper Publisher's Association, has purchased an interest in the Gazette and a new corporation will be formed to operate the newspaper. The Anaheim Gazette is the oldest newspaper in Orange County and the second oldest in southern California. It was established in 1870 and was purchased by the late Henry Kuchel, father of Ted Kuchel, in 1875 and has been owned and operated by the Kuchel family since that time. Mrs. Henry Kuchel continues to supply the Gazette with a weekly column of items from "Days of Long Ago", taken from the files of the Gazette dating back 88 years. Ted Kuchel stated that the former corporation will continue to operate the job printing business of the Gazette and both operations will continue in the same building for the present time. Abraham will assume the duties of publishing the newspaper and has plans for developing the paper into a strong news and advertising medium for Anaheim. The new co-publisher, a native of Grand Island, Nebraska, has been in the newspaper business from the day he started working on the Omaha Daily News while he was still in school. He continued his newspaper experience in Newspaper Publishers Association for two terms and then was elected secretary-treasurer, second vice president, first vice president and president, successive He has been secretary of the C Bert J. Abraham California Press Association (another newspaper organization) for years and a member of both organizations since 1931. He is a member of the board directors of the California S Fair, being appointed by Governor Goodwin J. Knight for a 4-year term and reappointed in February by Governor Edmund G. Brun for a second four-year term. He is also president of the Impo Cerebral Palsy to Seek Public Funds The United Cerebral Palsy Child Development Center at Fullerton is co-sponsored by the Assistance League of Fullerton and the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Orange County. There are 15 children in attendance of which Miss Christy Flemming is one. She is the Poster Girl for the 1959 fund raising campaign and is a resident of Garden Grove. The Child Development Center has children from all over Orange County. Last year a bus was given by the Spastic League of Newport Beach and it travels 190 miles a day. Mrs. Doris Mallar is Director of the school and has a staff of two matrons, Mrs. Edna Pearson and Mrs. Edith Reed, and the bus driver, Mrs. Elvetta Bender. One member of the Assistance League serves each day during the lunch period as many of these children must be hand fed. This school teaches the children to feed themselves, to coordinate their hands and feet through the medium of the various therapeutic toys. There is a speech therapist who works with them twice a week. There is toilet training, rhythm and singing lessons, and just learning to play with other children is of vast importance to building for the present time. Abraham will assume the duties of publishing the newspaper and has plans for developing the paper into a strong news and advertising medium for Anaheim. The new co-publisher, a native of Grand Island, Nebraska, has been in the newspaper business from the day he started working on the Omaha Daily News while he was still in school. He continued his newspaper experience in Nebraska and Iowa before coming to California in 1926 to work on the Long Beach Sun. For a period of 12 years Abraham was co-publisher of the Pittsburg (Calif.) Post-Dispatch before purchasing the Bellflower Herald-Enterprise in 1943. Abraham served on the board of directors of the California Press Association (an organization for years and a member of both organizations since 1931). He is a member of the board directors of the California S Fair, being appointed by Governor Goodwin J. Knight for a 4-term and reappointed in February by Governor Edmund G. Brus for a second four-year term. He is also president of the Imperial Insurance Exchange. Mrs. Abraham (Louise) recently served a three-year term president of the Women of CNPA. Mr. and Mrs. Abraham will celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary this year. They reside in Lakewood but are planning move to Orange County in near future. A sound principle of government was involved, and if the House had followed the Senate's lead, it would have been a preview of irresponsible voting on important legislation yet to come. Pure Demagogery Senator Lyndon Johnson addressed the United States Chamber of Commerce the other day, and made the self-serving declaration that this Congress would appropriate less money than requested by the President, and had done so in the past several Congresses. This is a half-truth and should not go unchallenged. It is simply a play upon words. As an example, last year the appropriation bills were considerably less than the budget requests, but other legislation, not entitled appropriation bills, permitted agencies to go directly to the Treasury. It is still the taxpayers' money which is being spent, and it is pure demagoguery to say that Congress appropriated less money than the President requested. FAR EAST — Howard C. Nagel, fireman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard C. Nagel of 2432 Glencrest; Frederick L. Baird, seaman apprentice, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert G. Baird of 9192 Regal St., and Jack R. Landrum, fireman apprentice, USN, son of Mrs. D. M. Palmer of 907 Emerald, all of Anaheim, are serving aboard the heavy cruiser USS Los Angeles, operating as a unit of the U.S. Seventh Fleet in the Far East. League serves each day during the lunch period as many of these children must be hand fed. This school teaches the children to feed themselves, to coordinate their hands and feet through the medium of the various therapeutic toys. There is a speech therapist who works with them twice a week. There is toilet training, rhythm and singing lessons, and just learning to play with other children is of vast importance to the children to prepare them to go on to elementary school. Need Additional Facilities There is a public school, Carl Harvey, which handles about 75 children in the elementary grades, and two classrooms at Lathrop Junior High for the children from 12 to 21. Fullerton is to open a public school of this nature in September which will relieve the case load of Santa Ana and cut the waiting list down considerably. This will still leave the junior high school boys and girls in Fullerton without a school. There is a cerebral palsy clinic at the Carl Harvey School that cares for about 150 children and adults. It is hoped in conjunction with another agency that a sheltered workshop will be provided for the adolescents to prepare them for earning their living. These cerebral palsy children can not be cured but they can be helped and can be made into useful citizens, self-supporting, if enough care and love and training is given to them. There are 1,631 millionaires in Sweden—300 more than a year ago. Dr. L. Kenneth Heuler is that he feels a five-member board should have a professional person who is keenly interested in upgrading the academic curriculum so that the district schools make the best possible education available to the students.

At the University of California-College of Dentistry received his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Surgery Degrees.

Summerfield declared today the American public can halt the nation's self-billion-dollar year traffic in mail order obscenity. Appealing for public support in his intensified war on "barons of obscenity who are brazenly violating our homes and soliciting our children," the Postmaster General said, "the people themselves hold the final answer because they can put these filth merchants out of business." How To Help Mr. Summerfield suggested these steps if obscene mail, or advertisements soliciting its sale, appears unordered in your home mail box: 1. Save all materials received, including the envelopes and all enclosures. 2. Report the matter immediately to your local Postmaster, and turn the materials over to him. (You may mail in your complaint and evidence if you wish.) 3. Stand ready to sign a formal complaint and testify if criminal action should be necessary. Mr. Summerfield said public cooperation at this time is paralleled with the people of the United States. Labor Secretary James P.

Heuler Is A Candidate for School Trustee L. Kenneth Heuler is a candidate for the Anaheim Security Schools Board of Trustees on election May 19. Heeler believes that a tree should keep in mind that schools in the district, as well as all departments of each school, would share proportionately in school room and curriculum training. Perhaps his strongest intention for running for this office is a member of the board of directors of the California State University being appointed by Governor Kevin J. Knight for a 4-year term and reappointed in February Governor Edmund G. Brown second four-year term. He also president of the Imperial Finance Exchange. Ms. Abraham (Louise) recently served a three-year term as assistant of the Women of the A.M. Mr. and Mrs. Abraham celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary this year.

(You may mail in your complaint and evidence if you wish.) 3. Stand ready to sign a formal complaint and testify if criminal action should be necessary. Mr. Summerfield said public cooperation at this time is particularly important because the Federal Government is armed with new law which makes it possible to prosecute mail order filth dealers in local area courts. Formerly, they could be prosecuted only at the point of origin of this material—usually a few big cities where obscene mail dealers have taken sanctuary behind legal technicalities and liberal court interpretations of what is obscene. K-EZY Prexy Is Not Exempt from Parking Tickets Cliff Gill, president of new Anaheim radio station K-EZY, is convinced of the absolute impartiality of the Anaheim police force. Invited to Police Headquarters to discuss radio coverage of local police cases, he left the cordial conference to find a parking ticket on his car which had been parked right outside headquarters.

"Shopping center success is based on parking. Regardless of cost, get it", he emphasized. He then stressed an easier traffic flow, improvement of rear entrances for stores and a city beautification program.

The program will be free of charge and open to the public. The safety-check lane will be manned by six persons each of whom will have become qualified to check the points of safety for which he will be responsible. The lane will be well-marked and located so as not to interfere with normal traffic flow. Each vehicle entering the lane will, in a matter of moments, have its brakes, tires, exhaust system, windshield wiper, horn, rear view mirror, front and rear lights, glass, and steering checked against defects. If found safe, its windshield will receive a safety-checked sticker. If any of the ten items checked are found to be defective, these will be noted and handed to the driver, who may, but only if he wishes, have corrections made and then return to receive the safety-checked sticker for his windshield. The objective is to arouse public awareness of the need to have vehicles safety - checked periodically and to maintain them in a safe driving condition. Although the program is being coordinated through the Anaheim Police Department, police officers will not actively participate in the safety-check. It is being conducted wholly on the part of interested volunteers in an attempt to halt the increasing number of traffic accidents caused by unsafe autos.
