THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA
Most Populous State Launches
Four-Day Party in Its Honor
By United Presi International
California, the self - pro
claimed mosl populous stale
in the union, launched a four
day parly last week In its
honor.
The celebration was occa
sioned by discovery by state
statisticians that California
surpassed New York in popu
lation, sometime between
Thanksgiving and Christinas.
The U.S. Census Bureau
said California won't pull
ahead of New York until
spring. But Gov. Edmund G.
Brown issued a proclamation
calling for a statewide cele
bration during the New Year's
week end.
"Our 17.300,0(1(1 citizens
have rightful pride in the
building of this great slate to
its present eminence In little
more than one ccnlury," he
said.
Elsewhere, there were these
developments:
Fatalities: California motor
Ists won the praise of the
California Highway Patrol for
keeping the number of traffic
fatalities in the state well be
low the toll feared for the
long Christmas holiday week
end. Fifty-nine persona died
on highways in the state dur
ing the 102-hour period from
0 p.m. Friday to midnight
Christmas night. California
was still first in the nation in
traffic deaths, but the total
failed to reach the 75 predict
ed by CUP Commissioner
Bradford M. Crittenden.
Diget dial: The battle over
All - Number Calling (ANC),
which would eliminate the
letter prefixes on telephones,
was waged before a Public
Utilities Commission (PUC)
hearing in Los Angeles. Pa
cific Telephone company
maintained that some areas
are running nut of usable pre
fixes and ANC is "the best
solution to a difficult prob
lem." But opponents said that
the problem could be coped
with by other means. One eye
surgeon testified that less
than half of the persons using
the proposed all-number sys
tem would be able to remem
ber the seven digit numbers.
Alcalrat: Alcatraz Federal
Prison in San Francisco Bay,
its escape - proof reputation
badly shaken twice during
the past year, will close by

plained that the shutdown
was "forced" by extreme de
terioration of the prison's
physical plant.
Yacht: Steeplejack L.cc
Quinn began a voyage from
Sausalito aboard his 45-foot
ketch which some sailors
would consider a nightmare,
and romantic ones a dream
come true. Quinn, 35, and a
crew of four comely young
women set sail for Honolulu.
Quinn explained that the
women were "more docile,
they take orders, and they
don't cause trouble at sea like
some men."

Barber) Factor received the
"best Christmas present ever

Kennedy that spared him
from possible deportation

Christmas pardon on a 1!)4J

fied deportation proceedings
against the Southern Califor
nia millionaire that were be
gun only the week before by
the U.S. Immigration Service.

federal prison for conviction

re-sale of bonded whisky cer
tificates. But he was best known for
his part in an alleged gang

on a Chicago street 22 days
after his release from prison

Every newspaper headline makes it clear that
this is a testing time for Americans.
The Cuban crisis is one of a long and con
tinuing series of challenges we face.
At a time of challenge, the American future
depends upon the American people: what we
think, what we do, how we rise as individuals
to the task of meeting great challenge with
great achievement.
We each have a part to play.
Yours is described in the timely new citizen
action guide "Challenge to Americans" of
fered here which puts the crisis of the moment
in the true perspective of the struggle which
is likely to continue for years. The world situa
tion is Mr more complex than the emergencies of daily headlines.
As President Kennedy says:
"We are challenged by the revolution of communism. The
Communists seek power through conspiracy, terror, aggression
and deceit. They exploit and corrupt legitimate revolutionary
forces, scavenging on poverty, ignorance, despair.
"And also we are challenged by the revolution of hope in con
tinents long captive to stagnation and despair.
"We are challenged by the revolution in science and tech
nology bringing new boons and new dangers to humanity.
"We ate challenged by the revolution in international relation
ships. Nation has begun to work with nation to solve mankind's
common problems. New international bodies are exploring un
charted paths of world cooperation in the interests of world
Wide peace, justice, and freedom."
In an age of revolution, we dare not forget that we are heirs to FREEDOM IS N0TA GIFT BUT ATASK
a continuing, liberating revoIufion.Ve dare not
fail to press that revolution forward.to perfect
democracy at home, to make it an example
to the world. Only in earning our freedoms over
again can we strengthen them. Only by extend
ing our freedoms to all mankind can we pre
serve them.
This we can and must do as individuals. Va
must accept our responsibilities as we do our
rights, the two are today inseparable.Vle must
look upon national challenge whether it is art
immediate challenge in Cuba, Berlin, or Asia,
or the continuing longer range challenge as
a personal opportunity to do something im
portant for our country. Y.'e must seek to excef.
to stand up, to stand out: in our private lives, our homes, our work,
communities, schools, in a!! places, in a' things!
A good way to begin is with a mature understanding of what
we are up against and what you personally can do about it. You
will find exactly that in the timely new booklet, "Challenge to
Americans." Endorsed by Presidents Kennedy and Eisenhower,
approved by the Department of State, it is an indispensable
information and action guide for the purposeful citizen.
We need many such citizens. We need them now. We need
you your value as an individual, your power as the source of
our national strength, your aid in deciding our common future.
Your copy of "Challenge to Americans" is free. You can be
learning from it and you can be acting upon it in a matter of
days. Write CHALLENGE, Box 1776, New York 17, Ne.v York.
