National Health Bellringer Drive New date for the annual Bellringer campaign of Orange County Association for Mental Health was set for Monday, May 25. It was announced by Mrs. Finley Riggs, president of the Association. At the same time, Mrs. Riggs announced that Frank McNeese has resigned as campaign director. He is succeeded by Mrs. Ruth Ryden of South Laguna, who is also county Bellringer chairman. Working on a volunteer basis, Mrs. Ryden will handle the dual assignment. She sent out a call for other volunteer workers for duty both in the Bellringer drive on May 25 but also during the time preceding the drive. Several telephones have been installed at campaign headquarters, 1302 N. Broadway, Santa Ana, and workers are needed there now, she said. Bellringer volunteers are especially needed in Anaheim, Fullerton and Costa Mesa, and would be helpful in other county communities, Mrs. Ryden stated. A phone call to headquarters, KImberly 3-0887; would be a convenient way for volunteers to enlist, she added. The Bellringer drive originally was planned for May 10 and 11, but Association officials decided to postpone it to May 25.

Kuchel of California today took direct issue with the Defense Department on the desirability of continuing Federal education assistance to former members of the armed services and told the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee the Nation needs less talk and more action to renew programs assuring educational benefits. Kuchel testified in support of his bill S. 270, which would revive the law which expired Jan. 31, 1955 and provide Federal help toward university and college education as long as the United States employs the draft to obtain defense manpower. The bill would be retroactive to the 1955 cut-off date. Answering Defense Department objections continued educational aid would "stigmatize a career" in uniform, Kuchel told the Senate Committee that the Armed Forces' arguments against his and related bill are "irrelevant" and unsubstantiated. Not A Military Problem “This is not a military problem.” This is a civilian problem,” the California Senator said. “It is a problem that has to do with the indispensable necessity of the Government of the United States taking an interest in equipping today's young people through a process of education to cope with the perplexities of tomorrow's world. The Defense Department's For "Y" Group Jerry Wells, Anaheim Y's Club resident, announced club committee chairmen to serve the new club year ending in April, 1960, at the Monday evening, May 11, club meeting at the Anaheim YMCA. Wells named Richard Loop, youth work chairman; John Shea, finance and projects chairman; Ken Kesee, Bishop stamp fund chairman; Harry Burford membership chairman, and Dr. Tom Wright, Y and community service chairman. Club program included a Los Angeles Rams football film. The Anaheim Y related international service club meets on the second and fourth Monday evenings. Not A Military Problem “This is not a military problem. This is a civilian problem,” the California Senator said. “It is a problem that has to do with the indispensable necessity of the Government of the United States taking an interest in equipping today’s young people through a process of education to cope with the perplexities of tomorrow’s world. “The Defense Department’s statement does not admit that such assistance was justified in times of national emergency. We are in a national emergency. We are drafting men for the forseeable future. We are spending approximately $41 billion for defense during the coming fiscal year. We are faced with threats to our security in Berlin, Iraq, and the Far East. All over the world, our men are constantly on the alert because there is an emergency.” “We no longer can assume that one’s contribution to the defense of our society ends the moment an individual leaves the service. In fact, he might make a greater contribution as a researcher in the laboratory, a skilled engineer or worker in the industrial plant, or the administrator who coordinates complex and far-flung activities. These are the armed forces of democracy in the broadest sense.” Points To Re-Enlistments Kuchel said Defense Department statistics refute the contention that continuance of educational assistance would induce men to leave the Armed Services.
