Don’t Miss Your Chance at Midwest, East Swelter as Heat Wave Continues A cool front from Canada moved into the upper Midwest today but promised no relief for the rest of the nation’s “tropical belt,” seared by the summer’s worst heat wave. From the Rockies to the East Coast, temperatures soared again into the high 90s, breaking all-time records at many points for the eighth day in a row.

Motorist Robbed by Hitch-Hiker With Knife SANTA ANA - A hitch-hiker robbed him early today, Donald A. Knipp, 26, of Compton told Sheriff's officers this morning reporting the loss of $2 cash and his wrist watch. Knipp said that he picked up the hitch-hiker in Long Beach while he was headed to Laguna Beach and near Bolga Chica beach the man whipped out a knife stuck it against his rib and demanded money. After surrendering his wallet, Knipp asked that it be returned and the hold-up man obliged after taking out the money. The man then forced Knipp to stop his car and he got out and disappeared in the darkness. Sheriff's officers were told that the knife-wielding bandit wore a US Navy sailor's uniform. Loss of $75 worth of tools from his car was reported to sheriff's officers by Ivan Don McMillan, of 11621 Los Palmas Ave., Anaheim. He told authorities that his house was also burglarized but he has found nothing missing there. Local service station operators and garage men were given a warning today by Chief of Police Mark A. Stephenson following theft of $391.50 in spark plugs over the weekend and yesterday. Three Anaheim service station operators were victims of the theft through a ruse practiced on attendants, police explained. Largest theft was reported by Brown-and Bashara Saturday operators of a station at 300 South Los Angeles St., where 200 new spark plugs were removed for retail value of $170. The owners told offices that no description was known of persons who might have taken the plugs. A Sunday theft of between 75 and 80 plugs from the Associated Oil station at 1501 Lincoln n.Ave. at Manchester Blvd. was reported for a loss of some $60. Attendants said two men between ages of 23 and 25 years, engaged them in conversation while one of the men has taken the merchandise from the station. The third theft totaling 190 plugs for a value of $161.50, was reported by the Shell Service station at 1200 East Center St. which took place yesterday. The same pair of suspects were reported by police to have visited the station. Second Karcher Child Victim of Polio Word that polio had hospitalized little Katherine C. Karcher, age 3½ daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Karcher, 700 North Clementine St., recalled that another child of the family contracted polio last year and has since fully recovered. Records in the office of County Health Officer Dr. Edward Lee Russell whow that Carl Karcher Jr., now age five, contracted the disease in October of last year. Dr. Russell said today that the boy's involvement was the non-paralytic type such as his sister is now confined with in the polio ward of Orange County General Hospital. Full and rapid recovery of the non-paralytic virus polio is the usual result, it was said. McKittrick explained that when March of Dimes funds are raised each January, half of the amount remains with the local chapter and half is sent to National Headquarters to finance scientific research, professional and public education and to provide emergency aid such as that just received. Although substantial progress solving some problems is being made by scientific research, chairman declared, the tide of polio continues to rise higher across the nation, leaving ever-increasing burdens on the chapters of the National Foundation. "We have in Orange County said McKittrick, "a clear example of how a polio outbreak can quickly exhaust the resources of a charter. In the 1953 March of Dimes raised $82,000.00. By June 1, 1953 this was all gone and we had appeal for emergency aid from National Headquarters." Since use of the limited supply of gamma globulin is not expected to materially reduce the number of polio cases this summer at there is no vaccine yet, we must prepare for another year of his incidence. It is quite possible that the Orange County Chapter may require even further aid from National Headquarters." The chapter at present is providing funds, in whole or part, to the care of 96 patients stricken this year, in addition to 238 who contracted polio in previous years.

XXXI NO. 15 ANS FREED BY REDS Officer Trio Named on POW List Three Orange County servicemen were among the prisoners-of-war released by the Communists last night. Two were Fullerton men and the third resides in Laguna Beach. Capt. Harry P. Hedlund, Lt. Herman P. Stanfill, both Fullerton and Capt. Jack E. Perry of Laguna Beach were the three released. Capt. Hedlund, 26, of 122 Ellis Place, was called back into active duty with the reservists of the 452nd Bomber Wing in Aug. 1950. He went to Korean Oct. 1950. ARREST SPRECKELS ON FELONY COUNT; DELIMINARY TRIAL SCHEDULED SEPT. 8 BULLETIN BEVERLY HILLS — Beauteous Kay Williams was spirited to her home in an ambulance today from a Newport Beach hospital which she entered Aug. 20 after claiming she suffered severe beating from ex-husband, sugar heir Adolph Spreckels II. The blond former actress evaded newsmen when the ambulance picked her up at an emergency entrance to Hoag Memorial hospital. NEWPORT BEACH — Playboy A dolph Bernard Spreckels II, 41-year-old sugar fortune heir, tried three times Monday to be arrested on a berry charge that he beat his ex-wife, Actress Kay Williams, and he finally made it. He will stand preliminary trial Sept. 8 at 10 a.m. at Newport Beach Judicial District Court at Costa Mesa, where he was successful in getting a warrant served on him shortly after noon. Spreckels had demanded arrest earlier from the sheriff's office, which didn't have the warrant and so couldn't oblige. Then he went to the district attorney's office, which didn't have the warrant either. Judge Donald J. Dodge, who arraigned Spreckels at once after the warrant was served and copy of the complaint handed to him, ordered a $5000 bond. The court permitted Spreckels to be on liberty on his own recognizance until today when he must post the bail. The formal charge is identical with the other on which he had won dismissal last week before Judge Dodge — that Spreckels beat the actress, mother of his two children, at his Balboa Island home early last Aug. 20. This count was dropped when Spreckels refused continuance until Sept. 10. When Assistant District Attorney J. Parley Smith asked the court to postpone the preliminary until Sept. 10, he claimed that Mrs. Spreckels had lapsed into a comatose condition and could not testify in court. Three Orange County servicemen were among the prisoners-of-war released by the Communists last night. Two were Fullerton men and the third resides in Laguna Beach. Capt. Harry F. Hedlund, Lt. Herman F. Stanfill, both Fullerton and Capt. Jack E. Perry of Laguna Beach were the three released. Capt. Hedlund, 32, of 132 Ellis Place, was called back into active duty with the reservists of the 452nd Bomber Wing in Aug. 1980. He went to Korean Oct. 1980. He was a B-26 bomber pilot and was shot down over enemy territory and taken prisoner on March 24, 1951. His wife, Patricia, and their three children, Larry, 8, Tommy, 7, and Chris, 3, received the telegram at 8:45 last night confirming Capt. Hedlund's release. Capt. Hedlund's name appeared second on the list of prisoners of war held by the Reds when the Communists turned over the lists of prisoners they held to the United Nations in 1951. General Dean's name headed the list. Mrs. Hedlum said today, "Doubt had begun to assail us a little bit" when she was informed he had been shot down over Korea, but she said she and the children never once lost hope that he might be alive. That hope was made a reality when she received her first letter from him as a prisoner of the Communists. She said she expects him to arrive in San Francisco about Sept. 18. Lt. Stanfill, 32, of 116 North Pritchard Ave., Fullerton, has been held as a prisoner since Oct. 21, 1951. The Marine flyer and his wife, Rebecca, have two children, Gregg, 5, and Chris, 2. Capt.
