Move to Stop Y' Aid Delays Supreme Court Ruling in Long Beach YMCA Plan
A new legal filing by The Locker Club Assn of Long Beach seeks permission to intervene as a friend of the court in a state Supreme Court case over Long Beach tide lands spending for a proposed Armed Services YMCA. The brief argues the YMCA serves morale and recreation for enlisted personnel and contrasts it with a private locker club. City officials and Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown join the YMCA plan, while naval leaders stress the facility's importance for servicemen amid opposition from some local groups.

Signal Hill Fire Boss Seeks 11 Firemen, City Rejects
Signal Hill Fire Chief L S Colson asked the city council for eleven additional firefighters to reach a force of 26 but the request was unanimously denied. Long Beach units will no longer respond to Signal Hill fires except two exceptions, despite the National Fire Underwriters guideline of 42 men. The discussion followed Long Beach’s 1954 vote to spend 290000 on a new services building to replace an old facility damaged by subsidence. A Superior Court ruling last December allowed the hall project to proceed with land funds, but the decision faced an April appeal. If the Supreme Court takes the case, a ruling may come in November or as late as 1959 if sent to an Appellate Court.
