Eisenhower vetoes rivers and harbors bill for Los Angeles area
President Eisenhower vetoed a rivers and harbors authorization bill totaling about 531.6 billion in projects, including 44 million for the Los Angeles River basin and 4 million for Santa Ana River works. The action halts planned Long Beach area authorizations amid an election year dispute over public interest and project review. The broader program would fund levees, channel work, dam expansions, and debris basins as part of a 340 million Los Angeles project.

Pupae Car Thief Faces Five Counts
A 19 year old seaman was arraigned in Municipal Court Friday on five felony counts stemming from a 90 mile an hour chase by Orange County officers on May 24. Preliminary hearing for George Schuler on grand theft auto theft hit and run and two assault with a deadly weapon counts was set for August 15 by Judge Kenneth E. Sutherland. Officers Herbert E Confert and Bruce G Emery said they chased Schuler from Garden Grove to Long Beach to question him about erratic driving and Schuler slammed on the brakes at the VA Hospital Tib Street entrance, forcing them to ditch their motorcycles to avoid collision. The suspect then drove into the hospital grounds where he was captured. Both officers suffered leg injuries. Investigation showed Schuler's car was stolen the preceding night from a Navy dock jet, the officers said.
