Democrats Pick Hazel Lewis as Top Secretary Elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the registration of Mrs. Muriel Dinwiddle, Mrs. Hazel Lewis, former Stanton city council woman, is the new executive secretary of the Orange County Democratic Council. Other nominees for the post were Rito Madrid of Anaheim and K. R. Lund of Garden Grove. The Council also instructed three representatives to the California Democratic Council meeting in Fresno, Nov. 21-22. Instructions of Walter Wise and Ed Hoag, both of Fullerton, and Mrs. Joyce Dusenberry of Laguna Beach included a recommendation that a proposed oil-severance bill be placed upon the ballot, and another that pre-primary endorsement by the CDC be continued.

Little Notes (Continued from Page 1) and, whom they call "Rickey," and who is beginning his growing-up amid a spirit of self-sacrifice, not always so prevalent in American homes. Mrs. Brown is the co-officer of the Salvation Army unit in Anaheim. Their combined salary is $51 a week and the house in which they reside, rent free. But they don't always get that $51 a week salary regularly. The reason: A Salvation Army unit must be self-sustaining. If the funds don't come in, through collections and gifts, the Army officers don't draw full pay regularly. Usually this is made up as the weeks ensue, but it isn't easy to operate a household on a haphazard budget of this sort. That however, doesn't deter this rather thin, blue-eyed young man who wears glasses and parts his hair on the right side. And who, with his wife, founded the Salvation Army setup in Anaheim, from "marching on." For he's a devoted "Salvation Armyist," in every particular. Let's delve into his interesting background: Born in Idaho Falls, Idaho, he was graduated from the high school there, meanwhile helping his father, a farmer, raise those "nice, big russet potatoes," characteristic of his home state, as he puts it. One time he drove a bus full of high school youngsters across the state to a Salvation Army camp. Also, his stepmother was an ardent Salvation Army worker and with her he had attended Salvation Army services in Idaho Falls from the time he was 8 Sacramento Signs (Continued from Page 1) to be considered valid presidential timber. And he doesn't want the vice presidential nomination, though it probably would be accepted if offered on the "proverbial silver platter." But the U.S. attorney generalship is right down his line. Having been attorney general of California he could feel that stepping up to the comparable post on a national scale might be accomplished rightly enough. Of course, to swing this he must board "the right bandwagon" next year, but that shouldn't be difficult. As at present Symington and Adlai E. Stevenson appear to be the best-liked presidential candidates in Democratic circles, and Gov. Brown is esteemed highly by each. Smacked of Censorship Brown's retreat from the position that all news releases of a major nature had to be through the Governor's office was the direct result of concerted opposition from newspapers, press associations, radio and TV agencies throughout the state which charged that it "smacked of censorship." This was the second time that such a move eventuated in Brown's office. The first was immediately after he took office last January and was generally credited to his executive secretary, Fred Dutton, whom many press men describe as "an idealistic visionary with political ambitions as a king-maker." Governor Brown, in his latest effort them. Sometimes, in fact, this isn't easy for our funds are pronouncement, called for full and frank information to the public and genuine and complete freedom of access for the press. Government Reorganization The scope of the sweeping proposals for state government reorganization resulting from a Special Committee on Governmental Organization appointed by Gov. Brown and headed by Bert W. Levitt, recently retired as state director of finances, may be in for a bit of clipping. Sacramento advices indicate. In testimony before the State Senate Interim Committee on Transportation, Charles Johnson., Gov. Brown's departmental secretary, predicted that the controversial part of the proposal, eliminating the elective offices of secretary of state, state treasurer and board of equalization positions, would be dropped. He indicated that the Reorganization Committee had considered such a revision of its plan several weeks ago. When asked about Johnson's prediction, Gov. Brown, with Levit's concurrence, declared that the committee had not "finalized" its report. The Governor also pointed out that he was the one who would make the ultimate decision, after receiving and weighing all of the evidence. Johnson later said that he was, of course, speaking for himself when he made his prediction; that he didn't know "what the committee will finally come up with." But political observers are inclined to stay with the adage that "where there's smoke, there's fire," and indicate they aren't so sure the committee won't recommend a reprieve for the constitutional offices involved. The original: Levi Committee One time he drove a bus full of high school youngsters across the state to a Salvation Army camp. Also, his stepmother was an ardent Salvation Army worker and with her he had attended Salvation Army services in Idaho Falls from the time he was 8 years old. So, an enthusiastic, though young, Salvation Army recruit. Study in the Salvation Army school at San Francisco, ten months of work in Boise, Idaho, where he married "the boss' daughter"; two years in various capacities in Idaho and Oregon, some of it at picturesque Klamath Falls, a four month tour of duty at Glendale, Calif., and then he and his wife were assigned to opening of the new headquarters in Anaheim. The Browns arrived two years ago in Anaheim on Hallowe'en—the annual Hallowe'en parade was underway. "Quite a welcome," Lt. Brown comments jocularly. The Salvation Army here has two to three calls for help each day. "If people are in real, urgent need, where do they go?" asks Lt. Brown, and then answers his own questions with "Why, to the Salvation Army, of course. If they come to us, they and their children, we are duty bound to try such a move eventuated in Brown's office. The first was immediately after he took office last January and was generally credited to his executive secretary, Fred Dutton, whom many press men describe as "an idealistic visionary with political ambitions as a king-maker." Governor Brown, in his latest to help them. Sometimes, in fact, this isn't easy, for our funds are limited. "Last year, we had a quantity of canned goods left over from our Christmas donations. This has helped considerably in our welfare work, but those are now exhausted." Some 40 attend the Salvation Army services in Anaheim. They too, are self-sacrificing with the good of their fellowmen in their hearts. But collections from 40 persons do not constitute a formidable financial outlook. So the Salvation Army, with Christmas and its distribution of baskets for the poor, gifts for the residents of some 13 rest homes in Anaheim, help for the transients and other work, could use a bit of cash. It is conducting a campaign for $18,000 — could use more. The heart of a city can be broadly generous if properly touched. We hope this column does just that — the Salvation Army, Anaheim unit, Lt. James F. Brown, one-time Idaho potato farmer and now ardent Salvation Army worker, deserves it. Johnson later said that he was, of course, speaking for himself when he made his prediction; that he didn't know "what the committee will finally come up with." But political observers are inclined to stay with the adage that "where there's smoke; there's fire," and indicate they aren't so sure the committee won't recommend a reprieve for the constitutional offices involved. The original: Levit Committee proposals, made public on Sept. 11, called for a consolidation of the many functions of government under eight centralized agencies described as finance, health and welfare, commerce and labor, corrections, public safety, regulatory and licensing, public works and transportation and resources development. The Levit Committee proposals, in the opinion of Sacramento observers, constituted the most sweeping suggested changes in the makeup of state government since the substantial revisions accomplished by Gov. Young in the late 1920's. Headed by Senator Randolph Collier of Yreka, the Senate Interim Committee before which Johnson testified concerning the revision of the Levit Committee plans, was openly critical of the proposed consolidation of power. Collier declared, "There should be some consolidation but this is not the way to do it." Following the meeting, it was not immediately clear whether the Governor would call a special session of the State Legislature in the spring to act on the reorganization plan. Brown did not mention such a session in his comment on Johnson's statement, but Riverside Freeway Section Is Opened The 2.7-mile $2,500,000 section of the Riverside Freeway between Spadra and Cypress Sts., was opened yesterday by the State Highway Department. Opening adds another segment to the proposed non-stop system extending eventually to Manhattan Beach where it will connect with the Venice Freeway to Los Angeles. The freeway now extends from Magnolia Ave. to Riverside. The section from Magnolia to Spadra was completed earlier. GOOD ENGLISH "Basic English" consists of only 830 words.
