11 CHARMING KAY STARR The lovely Capitol recording artist Kay Starr will headline today's stage productions from Swing auditorium on the National Orange Show grounds. The deep throated song bird will appear at both the afternoon and evening performances beginning at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Beauteous Kay Starr, husky-throated song bird of stage, radio and screen, will highlight today's free, twice-daily entertainment in Swing auditorium, National Orange Show. Topped by her tantalizing, "I'm the Loneliest Gal in Town," curvaceous Kay will appear at 2 p.m.

and 8 p.m. to offer a variety of tunes being whistled by almost everyone. Back of the singing beauty is a story of heart break and success. She began her career singing with a name band, but howling down the brass caused her to suffer a serious throat ailment. For many months she remained silent insofar as singing is concerned.

But as she returned to her singing career it was found she possessed a throaty quality in her voice, suited for the "blue" type song she sings. Tomorrow's top performer from the greatest array of talent ever assembled in the 35-year history of the National Orange Show will be the popular Peggy Lee of "Manana" fame. Andy and Delia Russell, billed as "America's Smartest Act," will offer the free entertainment Monday; Judy Canova and her girls, song and dance teams appear Tuesday and Wednesday and Art Linkletter of "People Are Funny" radio fame will be on the stage Thursday and Friday.

Warning that the nation no longer can count on time-consuming mobilization but must have a defense on the alert 24 hours a day, the youthful four-star general de clared that a reasonably effective defense even against atomic bomb attack is possible, but only if the country is willing to pay the price. The air chief of staff, a hand some, trim military figure, his dark hair only slightly graying, spoke before the San Bernardino group at a luncheon in the Y.W. C.A. auditorium, held in conjunction with the weekly chamber of commerce directors' meeting. SERIOUS PROBLEM "Our nation," General Vanden berg said, "despite its internal prosperity, faces a problem of ex ternal security more serious than ever before.

No one in a posi tion to know the facts can say that there is any simple solution. And no one should delude himself that there is any cheap solution. "The matter of atomic warfare is no longer a matter for sole deci sion by us. It is a grave question whether the ability of Russia to make an atomic attack is increasing more rapidly than our ability to resist such an attack.

Tracing the history of the Santa Fe in San Bernardino, Mr. Gray also took the occasion to rap major commercial truck lines for their "illegal operations and improper use of highways" and to urge defeat of two bills now be-fore congress which, he said, would impair railroad operations.

SANTA FE KEEPS PACE "As the demand for California citrus grew," he declared, "railroads kept pace by designing cars which would protect perishable products on their way to the market.

Santa Fe constructed its first refrigerator cars in 1S96 and formed the Santa Fe Fruit and Refrigerator Line. "Icing plants were located in San Bernardino and at other strategic points along the main line between Chicago and California, and the citrus industry began its meteoric rise.

San Jacinto Winter Park authority's proposal to construct an aerial tramway from Chino canyon, northwest of Palm Springs, to the sumr-it plateau of Mt. San Jacinto has been set for April 20 in the Riverside county courthouse. Announcement of the hearing was made in San Francisco yesterday by P. A. Thompson, regional U.

S. forester. The session will begin at 9 a.m. The issue is whether the forest service should modify the primitive area to the extent of eliminating 320 acres which lie across the route of the proposed tramway to the state park on the summit. OPPOSE PROPOSAL Various Southern California sportsmr and outdoor groups oppose the proposal, contending that the San Jacinto area of the "an Bernardino National forest is one of the few remaining primitive and unspoiled spots in the southland.

They further contend that development of a tramway would destroy the natural state of the area. Persons desiring to speak or present papers at the hearing are requested to notify Mr. Thompson at 630 Sansome street, San Fran- pisco, on or before April 14, so that time can be granted to them at the hearing.

Weather Chief For Additional A drought during the past 30 days has practically eliminated San Bernardino's chances of getting normal rainfall this season. That in effect is the observation of A. K.

Showalter, chief forecaster for the U. S. weather bureau in Los Angeles. Showalter told The Sun and Telegram yesterday that San Bernardino is in the same position as Los Angeles. Both cities are some six inches short of having normal rainfall and there is only an even chance that 2'2 inches of precipitation will be recorded in the remainder of the season.

PRESENT TOTAL 9.69 Actually San Bernardino's rainfall total to date is 9.69 inches, as compared to the nor-mall seasonal figures of 16 inches.
