The city's eligibility for the aid was established Tuesday when the Council adopted an ordinance accepting state requirements in training and recruiting law enforcement officers. City Manager Fred Workman explained that Redlands is now in line for state financial aid amount-j ing to about .50 per cent of the city's cost of training its police force. The state requirements were established by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training in an effort to upgrade police officers over the state.

The State Legislature last year passed a law which made state aid available to cities agree ing to accept the training requirements. "Standards for training of Red lands police officers are and have been higher than those prescribed by the state law," Workman said. Redlands policemen are trained at the Sheriffs Training Center in Riverside, operated under state auspices. An average of two or three Redlanders attend the training center in a year. Workman estimated that the city has been spending about $'200 a month per man involved in the training program at Riverside.

"Depending on the number of men trained, the amount of state aid in a year would average between S400 to $800." he estimated. CITRUS OUTLOOK By W. A.

Washington Digs Out Of Snow Fall WASHINGTON (UPI) An eight-inch snowfall blanketed the capital today, forcing an army of workers to labor through the night to clear an "absolutely hopeless" snarl that threatened inaugural festivities.

A force of 3.000 laborers and troops. 500 dump trucks. Blustery Snow Storm Strikes Eastern States By Unittd Prtw Intwnationsl A blustery eastern snow storm blew northward into New England today while Washington dug out of an eight-inch snow for the presidential inauguration and New fought traffic-stalling drifts. The storm, riding on 30-mile an hour winds, lashed into New York with 6-12 inches of drifting snow- that closed schools and airports and slowed mornmg rush hour traffic to a crawl. School buses were commandeered for transport emergencies.

As the storm swept along the Atlantic it dumped 18 inches of snow at Harrisburg, 10 at Poughkeepsie, 9 at Nantucket, and 6 at Boston At least 10 deaths were attributed to the storm, including six in Pennsylvania, two in New York, one in New Jersey, and one in Washington. Boston Airport Closed Neither weather conditions in the east "nor the tugboat strike in York seemed to affect the orange market adversely and demand continued active for Navels this week. Consequently the Navel Orange Coinmittce held a "telephone meeting'' Tuesday and voted to up the prorate for the current week by 100 cars in order to enable shippers to fill orders that were coming in. At the meet ing last week when prorate for this week was set prorate had been curtailed to offset the fifty or more cars New York is usually for. The casual observer might wonder why a strike on the part of tugboat men would affect the Imovement of citrus.

Railroad cars of fruit destined for auction sale in New York move across the Hudson river on lighters from the railroad yard in Jersey to the Railroad Produce Terminal on the Manhattan side of the river, where the fruit is unloaded from freight cars, displayed on the piers, sold at auction and delivery made to buyers' trucks. The operations were halted by e' strike. few cars have been able to get to the auction by devious means, but volume through this outlet has been seriously curtailed. Lar.se chain buyers with their own private rail sidings have not been affected, although there hava been delays and some report they have been actually short ot their requirements. There is some feeling that conditions may become much worse before the strike is settled and that eventually government intervention will become necessary.

Elsewhere in the country the movement of Navels was good for this time of year and prices firmed on larger sizes while holding steady on the balance. Heavy export shipments of small sizes tn the Orient for Chinese New N'ear have helped maintain the market or. the smaller sizes. This, plus the fact the Canadian markets again taking small Navels after having been out of the picture ing the holidays when Janancso oranges dominate the market. created a healthier tone to tht situation.

It remains to be seen, however, how the market will react to the terrific volume of these small sizes when Southern California reaches peak shipments in 1 a February and March, Prices in the auctions last week were considerably improved over the previous week but this wal largely due to the higher prices being paid for large sizes, A total of 77 cars in the eight auction markets brought prices averaging $4.68 per carton delivered or 52c above the previous week on 78 cars. Total sales, however, were only 5c above the previous week with an aerage price of all and sizes bringing S3.44 per carton F.O.B. shipping point. Sinco the bulk of the sales in the auctions are large sizes this index does not give a true picture of tho market, whereas the Total Salo average moie accurately reflects the situation. Prorate for next week was by the Committee at 450 cars from Central California and 350 can from the south.

Centra! Californii is approximately two thirds shipped but will continue to get tht lion's share of prorate for next several weeks. The north should be entirely cleaned up by the last of February if the present schedule is maintained. "Shakes It OH."
