Sen. Gregory Seeks to Regain Old Post as Mayor of San Bernardino Beaver 'Pops Cork' At MWD Bottleneck of the Feather River Project in State Sen. Raymond H. Gregory, now in the closing days of his legislative post, said yesterday that he intends to run for the office of San Bernardino mayor in the primary election next March. No stranger to the job, Gregory was elected mayor in 1955 and reelected in 1957.

He resigned after winning the senate seat late last year vacated by Superior Judge James E. Cunningham when he was named to the bench. In the general election of this year, Gregory was defeated by Senator-elect Stanford C. Shaw (D-Ontario). Gregory's political-career has embraced both the state and local levels.

He was an aide to then Sen. Cunningham during the first part of the latter's term of office. He also was Cunningham's executive assistant when Cunningham was mayor of San Bernardino. Commenting informally on his candidacy, Gregory said that he is aware of and familiar with the problems facing San Bernardino and which must be met to insure the "best possible future for the city." He added that he intends to gear his candidacy to the wishes and desires of the people themselves and "develop a program designed to provide a solid foundation upon which to build our San Bernardino of tomorrow." "They (the MWD)," said Beaver, "want to form this new district and contract with, the state leaving. San Bernardino County right where they want it not included in anything.

"In every instance, the San Bernardino Valley and the high desert are the last thing they even considered. The plans are offensive to the whole area, can't possibly be accepted by the legislators outside the jurisdictional area of MWD and are an insult to Northern California." The MWD board's cleavage was precipitated by Chairman Joseph Jensen. His proposal was interpreted as an abandonment ROAD FUND SQUABBLE Hint 3.

A compromise offered by Vice Chairman Warren Butler proposed that the state build the FRP, but that MWD and the new coastal district construct and own the facilities to "bring the water south. The third viewpoint taken at the meeting was that of the Los Angeles City Water Power Dept. Vigorously opposing any "go-it-alone" program, -the' public agency said the State Legislature should have a crack at working out a satisfactory north-south arrangement and getting the State Water Plan into gear.

Boyce Van Osdel of Calvary Baptist Church in San Bernardino gave a holiday-spirited address of welcome. "This is the season of giving and receiving," he told the audience of nearly 300 persons crowded into the warm hall. "That's what you as new citizens and we as old are doing. We are giving you citizenship. But there is a trade involved.

You are giving us this country the wealth of your backgrounds and experiences." He told the new Americans that they have "paid a high price- re pudiating your countries to -become citizens of this nation. Certainly this then must have great value." The petitions of citizenship were grant an equal or greater amount of street maintenance aid in succeeding years.

Beaver yesterday. The tart-tongued legislator uncorked his blast after he reviewed the discussions of MWD directors that ended in a three-way split on water policy. Two of the proposals involve formation of a new water district to include Kern County and the coastal counties up to and including San Luis Obispo. Thp third would give the Legislature a chance to solve the north-south water problem.

Sing 'Jingle Bells' As We Go 'Back When' You sing "Jingle Bells" and I'll do the driving as we swing down the lane into the land of memories once again. Do you remember: When, as a kid you wore those long, ribbed stockings? They were just the ticket for hanging on the mantel on Christmas Eve. When almost all the kids in Sunday school had a role, however slight, in the Christmas tableaux (these days, they call them pageants) at the church? I stuttered too badly to get a speaking part but, boy, how I could carry a spear. When the fattest men in our town were a cinch to get invitations to play Santa Claus at one of the neighborhood Christmas parties? Almost every big family had a Santa Claus costume. When they used to decorate the tallest evergreen tree in Tioneer Park for Christmas? It was everybody's Christmas tree.

When they sold that Christmas candy (tough on your teeth) by the barrel in the grocery stores? And everybody nought a bag of Brazil nuts for their kids. We never had Brazil nuts at any other time all year. City's Santa Claus Do you remember: When Dr. George E. Shafer, then the 3rd Ward councilman, was the Santa Claus at the city's yule parties for children at the Municipal Auditorium? The parties drew 3,000 or 4,000 kids.

When the American Legion conducted toy pickups all over town to obtain toys for distribution to the poor children of the town? The Veterans collected toys by the truckload and to many a kid, this meant Christmas the only gifts they received. When our eity firemen joined in the protest against President Roosevelt burning candles on his Christmas tree in White House? It set a bad example for the country, said the firemen. Too much danger of fires in the homes. But FDR kept right on burning his candles, just as he had in his boyhood, he said. When almost everybody in the town of Joshua Tree participated in the community Christmas pageant? They built false fronts on the town buildings to give the settlement the appearance of the town of Bethlehem.

It was a novel affair. Cut Your Own Tree Do you remember: When the forest rangers would tell you where you could cut your own Christmas tree in the mountains? The forest service banned tree cutting in the early 1930s because there were almost more people than trees in the timberlands just before Christmas. When you could almost always get a job at the butcher shops during the holiday season picking turkeys? We left plenty of pin feathers but every housewife went over the birds to redo your job anyway.

HANCOCK pioneer dies Area Pioneer C. H. Hancock Passes at 77 Charles H. Iincock, a descendant of the first white settlers of the San Bernardino Valley and a famed- county lawman, died yesterday at the age of 77. In failing health since February, San Bernardino township's marshal died at 4:12 p.m.

He was born in San Bernardino. Hancock attended the old Mt. Vernon School and attended other city schools during his youth. Ex cept for two short periods he was never away from the valley. SHIPYARD WORK During World War I he worked in a shipyard in San Pedro and on another occasion tried his hand at oil drilling near Barstow.

From the 1920s through 1944, he owned an apple orchard above Crestline. However, he only ac tivelv ran the orchard about 10 years. He sought and won appoint ment as a deputy sheriff here. Then for 26 successive years he was elected to the post of con stable of San Bernardino Town ship. When the constableship was eliminated and made a marshal ship, Hancoc won election to that post.

They said the entire propeller, like other parts of the demolished plane, must be carefully exam- ined by CAA specialists before a final report can be given on the causes of the crash. No action will be taken against anyone returning the prop, deputies said.

A slight, 120-pound Korean reporter, Lee will be a San Bernardinan for the next three weeks while he becomes acquainted with editorial operations at The Sun-Telegram.

Lee also has been Mirprised and alarmed. He is Surprised that "bars and restaurants stay open all night and never seem to close for sleep." He is alarmed at the sight of women "even high school girls," puffing on cigarettes. "In Korea this is not done; only by some old grandmothers."

From there he went to the Passaic, X.J., Herald-Xews, traveled through the Eastern, Southern and Southwestern sections of the United States before stepping off the bus in San Bernardino. He saw segregation in the South, feels the future will bring an end to it. "I asked one Xegro leader why more of his people didn't move to the Xorth," said Lee. "He replied that his ancestors were buried in the earth of the South, he was born an American and there was no place like the South." If any one factor will spur desegregation, Lee feels, it will be the burden placed upon school budgets by having to operate and staff segregated schools.

Attorneys for the union, Kaiser and the NLRB attorney, Paul E. Weil, were given 35 days in which to file briefs. The trial examiner will then study them and submit an intermediate report containing his recommendations in the issue. If accepted by the corporation and the Steelworkers' Union, the case will rest. If, how ever, the trial examiner's recommendation is not accepted, an appeal may be made to the NLRB in Washington, D.C., and beyond that to the Circuit Court of Appeals, according to Weil.
