Wiley Rebuffs Taft Proposal to Go It Alone
Senator Wiley of Wisconsin defends United Nations and Allied cooperation on Memorial Day, rejecting Taft’s call to “go it alone.” He frames the U.N. as essential to handling world crises and notes the speech was prepared for Arlington ceremonies with Eisenhower’s administration in mind. Mundt says the rift is not a basic policy split but a difference of opinion on Korean talks and U.N. influence.

City Action on Zoning Faces Protest by Taubman
Attorney George P. Taubman labeled the city council’s reversal of the planning commission on a Bellflower Boulevard and Spring Street zoning issue unjustified. He plans to protest at the June 9 meeting, with Bixby Land Co. and other property owners likely to join. The dispute stems from whether to rezone a 65 acre site for a drive in theater and related rezoning on the east side of Bellflower Blvd between 23rd and Spring Streets. Taubman did not explain why Bixby Land Co. intervenes but will present full merits at the June 9 session.
