ADDS FLAME TO 'THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE' — Former Walt Disney child actress Janet Munre, above, plays the feminine lead opposite Leo McKern and Edward Judd in "The Day The Earth Caught Fire," a Val Guest Production filmed in England and released by Universal, playing in Orange County this week. The timely suspense melodrama is told through the eyes of a London newspaper staff and chronicles the devastation brought to the entire world when the earth is shifted from its axis — the result of the simultaneous detonating of a high-yield atomic bomb at the North Pole and the unleashing of a comparable megaton bomb at the South Pole. Arthur Christiansen, former editor of the London Daily Express and author of the current "Headlines All My Life," makes his acting debut playing the role of an editor in "The Day The Earth Caught Fire."

Editorial OUTCOME TUESDAY MAY INDICATE NEW TRENDS When City voters go to the polls, next Tuesday, more than just three seats on the City Council and two measures concerning the raising of pay for councilmen is at stake. For the first time in the city's history, the area west of the Santa Ana Freeway, and the various civic and neighborhood organizations spread out in all parts of the city, have emerged as a powerful political entity. In past years, these groups have been vocal in their resentment of what they termed control by 'downtown' interests, but that was the extent of their influence. This year, however, sparked by the park issues and location of the proposed civic center, they have banded together in a loose federalition officially incorporated as "The Greater Anaheim Citizens' Committee for Better Government."

Doris Day Signed For New Movies Doris Day has been set by ducer Ross Hunter to star Universal production, "The Of It All." a hilarious comedy about a TV "pitch" girl by Reiner and Larry Gelbart. Miss Day who has appeared just three seats on the City Council and two measures concerning the raising of pay for councilmen is at stake. For the first time in the city's history, the area west of the Santa Ana Freeway, and the various civic and neighborhood organizations spread out in all parts of the city, have emerged as a powerful political entity. In past years, these groups have been vocal in their re sentiment of what they termed control by 'downtown' interests, but that was the extent of their influence. This year, however, sparked by the park issues and location of the proposed civic center, they have banded together in a loose federation officially incorporated as "The Greater Anaheim Citizens' Committee for Better Government." Lead by citizens from all sections of the city and from the 'oldtimers' as well as the new, the Citizens' Committee is primarily strengthened by its following in the west section and by the 'younger generation'. It more than any other group in Anaheim, has been responsible for the liveliness of the present election campaigning. Reminiscent of Democratic Party Organizations in many of the midwestern and eastern cities, it has conducted a door-to-door solicitation of votes and has introduced its candidates at a host of informal meetings and coffee klatches. And it has picked its candidates wisely. Presenting balance in the fields of civic business, and property owner spheres, they have nominated and campaigned for incumbent mayor A. J. Schutte; engineer and present chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, John S. Wright, and retired businessman and former manager of Anaheim's Dixie Cup plant, Fred T. Krein. The Gazette is not endorsing any candidate in the city elections this year, but our investigation of the candidates indicates that Schutte, Wright, and Krein, along with Jack C. Dutton, are among the most qualified of the 13 candidates to represent the voters of Anaheim. Schutte, attempting election to his third term as a member of the City Council, is a veteran of city politics and a booster for location of the civic center on city-owned property on Harbor Blvd. An import from Kansas, he has been a long-time resident of the city. Wright, employed as an engineer by Standard Oil, and presently chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, has been in the forefront of the fight for city parks and the protection of property owners' rights. Krein, a practical and successful retired businessman, has been noted, during the campaign, for his open-minded approach toward all issues. He was highly instrumental in bringing the Dixie Cup plant to the city several years ago. Dutton, like Krein, is a businessman, owner of Dutton's Jungle Gardens, 1010 E. Orangethorpe. He was a member of the Fullerton City Council before moving to Anaheim. Like Krein, Wright and Schutte, he commands much support from the west end of the city. A candidate in the last municipal elections, he carried much of the eastern precincts, but was defeated by his weakness in the west. Whether the Citizens' Committee be successful or not in its attempt to seat its three candidates, the era of candidates drawing support from the city in general may be at an end. Like most large cities, partisanship and sectionalism is gradually entering Anaheim politics and, by the next election, may be full grown. The passing away of the uninstructed councilman, in many ways, is a sad thing. The provincialism of councilmen feeling the entire city is their concern is a pleasing notion. But the facts of life include that a large and growing city like Anaheim has many competing groups and an ordinary students. Northrop Plant Accepts New Four-Story Building Northrop Corporation Tuesday morning officially accepted a new Story Engineering, Research Science Center at its 51-acreronics Systems Support facility here. Officials of the Orange County joined Northrop executives conducting the acceptance monies. Tuesday's ceremonies marked a event — the acceptance of building and the 11th anniversary of Northrop's Orange City facility. The corporation used its Anaheim facility April 51. The new $1.6 million structure cases company-owned hold-in Anaheim by more than 20 percent — to a new total of more than 530,000 square feet on 51 acres. In the ceremony, conducted in the reception lobby of the new 90,000-square-foot center, a gold key to the new building was presented Frank W. Lynch, vice president and manager of the Northrop facility, by S. Kenneth Johnson, executive vice president of Daniel, Mann, Johnson, and Mendenhall. The DMJM firm was architect for the new structure. The building will feature the only "aerial" heliport in Orange County. A full-scale helipad atop the new four-story structure is currently being fitted with lights and safety devices for use by Northrop's helicopter service, employed in moving personnel on priority assignment to and from Northrop facilities at Palos Verdes, Hawthorne and Van Nuys. The new building increases the floor area devoted to engineering and scientific studies and laboratories at Anaheim to 160,000 square feet — 30 per cent of the total Anaheim facility. The building currently houses approximately 900 engineers and scientists. The new structure is completely air-conditioned and features high intensity lighting (150-foot-candle-power) throughout its engineering areas. It also includes an auditorium that will accommodate 50 persons for presentations and conferences, as well as executive offices.
