Man Fatally Injured in Crash West of Anaheim His car knocked 400 feet when rammed by a heavy truck and his neck broken, Charles R. Gift, 39, of Redondo Beach was injured fatally about 5:20 p.m. yesterday at Manchester and Orangethorpe Blvds. Gift died in an ambulance enroute to St. Joseph Hospital in Orange. California Highway Patrolmen jailed the truck driver, Murnest Ervin, 39, of Los Angeles on a drunk driving charge and said that he also may face a man-slaughter complaint. The authorities said they have some witnesses but needed more, since there were many motorists who saw the spectacular crash. The events were reconstructed thusly: Gift stopped his car at a signal and the truck driver allegedly not slowing plowed into the rear of his machine and knocked it 400 feet down the highway. Miraculously Gift's car did not strike another car, Ervin, a Negro, was not hurt. Two other accidents were reported Mrs. Evalyn Hilbert, 33, of Glendale suffered major injuries at 4:35 a.m. today when a car in which she was riding with her husband George, 30, ran off Highway 101 near San Juan Capistrano. She was taken to Orange County General Hospital. Glenn Planary, 5¼, of 10352 Wilson St., Garden Grove, was hurt slightly about 7:10 p.m. last night when he was struck by a car as he dashed across the street in front of his home. Richard L.

ATTACKS ADLAI—Senator Homer ATTACKS ADLAI—Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan, keynoting a Republican meeting in Chicago, charged that Adlai Stevenson advocated "softness" toward Communism in his speech before the Democratic meeting Sept. 15. Former Resident Nabbed Here on Bad Check Count His return to Anaheim after a five year absence, turned out disastrously for Blunt Hanby, 48-year-old Los Angeles machinist, when he was nabbed for assertedly floating five fictitious checks to local merchants. The amazing career in check writing and crime of Hanby was sketched today by local police as they prepared his arraignment on the felony charges for Monday. With a criminal record dating well before 1932, Hanby moved into the big-time rackets with checks and liquor; being sentenced to Boise penitentiary. He later served sentences in Folsom and San Quentin in California. Passing through Anaheim in December of 1948, Hanby wrote several feititious checks which were cashed with local merchants. He was arrested and sent to San Quintin where he stayed until July 20 of this year. Officers said he returned to Anaheim Sept. 5 when he wrote five checks totaling $135, and immediately left town. Recognized by police from descriptions given by local merchants, Los Angeles police were alerted and apprehended Hanby when he reported for a parole check. He was returned to Anaheim last night by officers to face new charges of check writing in addition to parole violation. Still Operator Fined by Court SANTA ANA—Granted probation for three years, Antonio Yneges, 61, of El Modena, erstwhile still operator, must pay a $360 fine on the installment plan, under ruling by Superior Judge Robert Gardner. Yneges, who was arrested last June 15 after a neighbor was reported to be ill from drinking Yneges' home-distilled prune whiskey, was charged with possession of a still without a state license. He had first pleaded not guilty to the charge but had changed his plea before he was due to go to trial. The fine was levied, on $10 monthly installments, "to remind you you are on probation and partly to pay the cost to which you have put the taxpayers." Judge Gardner commented. Two El Toro Marines, who were charged with a felony assault with a tire iron after a traffic collision involving their car and one driven by Albert Northam, were given suspended jail terms and fines. The pair, John Stanley Germann and Daniel John Kelso, were ordered to pay $140.40 each to the probation officer within 90 days of their release to pay medical expenses and earning loss of their victim. Germann was released to military authorities on a 90-day suspended jail sentence, while Kelso was given six months in jail with five months suspended. Thomas Edwin Tinsley, 33, of Huntington Beach, who pleaded guilty to theft of women's undergarments, was reported by Dr. John Mitchell of Metropolitan State Hospital as being badly in need of psychiatric treatment. Judge Gardner ordered sex-pachopath proceedings for him, with Dr. William S. Musfelt to make further examinations and report back next Friday.

Cool Air Mass Breaks Heat Wave in Midwest By UNITED PRESS A mass of cool air moved into parts of the Midwest today behind violent storms to break a record-breaking late fall heat wave. The cool front, sweeping out of the Northwest, dropped temperatures as much as 30 degrees and brought autumn weather back to midwesterners who swelted through readings in the 90's yesterday. Temperatures dropped 10 degrees to 68 degrees between 9:30 and 10 p.m. in Chicago last night as 63 inches of rain hammered the city. Firemen answered more than 50 alarms, mostly caused by lightning, and a lighting sparked model fire at suburban La Grange, Ill., caused $20,000.0 damage. The late autumn heat yesterday broke records in many areas, including Chicago, where the 91.8 reading made it the first time the city has endured 39 days of above 90 temperatures in one year. Hershey Says Draft Call May Be Increased WASHINGTON (UP)—Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey has predicted that draft calls may go as high as 50,000 or 60,000 a month after next July 1.

He explained that under the current two-year draft term, less men are needed this year but requirements will be bigger next year to replace men completing two years' service. Marine Colonel Held to Answer Morals Charges SANTA ANA—U. S. Marine Lt. Col. Theodore Gooding, charged with three felony morals involving small girls, must answer to the charges in Superior Court on Oct. 2, Superior Judge Robert Gardner ruled Friday. The court granted a continuance at the request of Gooding's counsel, explaining that there was insufficient time to prepare since the officer was bound over from Municipal Court for the high court arraignment. Continued until Sept. 25 was arraignment of Jackson F. Hickey, Garden Grove, father of 10 children who is accused of escaping from a county jail work gang at Irvine Park last July 27. Hickye's contention was that he was imprisoned illegally on a non-support count, and so could not be guilty of escape. Public Defender Nick Meyer disclosed. Stanley Leo Carver, accused of statutory rape, will be arraigned Sept. 25. The court cut his ball demand in half, to $1000, which amount Carver said he will post. Orange Resident Takes Own Life ORANGE—Apparently despondent because of a heart aliment Ivan Holt, 84, of 427 South Pixley St., committed suicide yesterday afternoon at near the Orange Street entrance of City Park. His body was found at 2:30 p.m. by Lester Minter, a park employee. A resident nearby, told police, however, that she had heard a loud report which she believed to be a gun shot at 12:30. Holt, who was a retired electrician who moved here in July 1952 from New York, shot himself in the mouth with a .38 revolver which was found by his body. He has no known relatives.

Tiday May Take Municipal Court Post on Monday GARDEN GROVE—Atty. Ronald L. Tiday may become Judge Tiday on Monday, shifting to the Anaheim Municipal Court bench—for an "indoctrination" course—Which Judge Shea will vacate soon to take the Superior Court post he got Friday. Formal changeover will await receipt of the commissions for both Judge Shea and Tiday. That may take a few days. Upon receipt of the commission from Gov. Earl Warren, Shea will stand before the four Superior Court judges for a ceremony to be sworn into office. Then he will begin looking for a courtroom. Chairman Willis H. Warner of the board of supervisors said that Judge Shea will be assigned to the supervisorial chambers and to Room 218 in the Court House; it is part of the county clerk's office, where Judge Robert Gardner held court when he was first appointed to the Superior bench. Tiday, 39, was unheralded for appointment to the Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court bench which most figured Judge Shea would leave, since he appeared from the first to be in line for the higher Launch 1954 Republican Campaign in Mid-West CHICAGO — Republicans looked hopefully today to a brief visit by President Eisenhower to put a fighting climax to a Mid-western meeting launching their 1954 election campaign. The President stops briefly at Glenview Naval Air Station this afternoon on his way to Washington from his Colorado vacation. Week’s Building Totals $802,500 Building permits for the week ending today totaled $802,500, according to records of Inspector Homer Wallace. Largest permits issued in the Anaheim area during the week was to Ivan Wells and Sons Construction of 116 three and four-bedroom homes in the Anaheim Ranchos tract. Permit price for the homes is $756,000. F. H. Bastian, 1111 Westmont Drive was issued a permit for construction of a residence and garage to cost $11,000; while Kenneth Burroughs as owner, was issued a permit for a home at 852 North Lena Man Asks P Gets Proba He was to make a sport, informal talk. Some Republicans hoped it would offset the attacks on his administration made here earlier this week by former President Harry S. Truman and Adlai E. Stevenson, the 1952 Democratic presidential nominee. Mr. Eisenhower turned down the idea of a personal appearance at a gathering of midwestern and southern Republican women, and the state GOP chairmen of 18 midcontinent states. A personal visit to the meetings would have brought the President face to face with a large number of republican women who apparently disagree with some of his foreign policy stands and also his opposition to the Bricker amendment to curtail presidential treaty-making powers. A group of Illinois and Wisconsin women pushing a petition supporting the constitutional amendment proposed by Sen. John W.

The Garden Grove attorney practiced in Los Angeles until service in the U.S. Navy, then opened law offices in Garden Grove. He lives with his wife, Frances, at 12866 Euclid Ave. Angeles Forest Fire Said Near Control GLENDORA (UP) — An 11-day fire that has consumed almost 21,000 acres in Angeles National Forest probably will be brought under control "late today." The U.S. Forest Service said the blaze has been controlled on all of the 49-mile perimeter except the Rattlesnake Peak and Bichota. The fire, battled by 1300 mem., destroyed an estimated $6,500,000 worth of timber and watershed and for a time threatened the resort town of Wrightwood. It was Mouton Siamese Twins Claimed Recovering NEW ORLEANS (UP) — The Mouton twins appeared on the road to recovery today from a dramatic operation that marked the first time in medical history Siamese-born twins have been successfully separated at the Lower spine. "They are both still doing fine," a hospital spokesman said today. The pretty, brunette daughters of Mayor and Mrs. Ashton Mouton of Lafayette, La., were taken from the recovery room (where special care is available after major operations. "Their condition continues good" the spokesman said. "A nurse is by their side 24 hours a day." Reds to Return 320 UN Troops Thursday PANMUNJOM, Korea (UP) — The Communists will turn over to Indian custodian troops next Thursday about 320 United Nations prisoners, including 20 non-Koreans who refuse to go home, an Indian spokesman said today. There was no evidence whether the non-Koreans include Americans. Twelve South Koreans and one Turk, who originally had refused to go home, were released today by the Communists after changing their minds. They were unable to give any indication whether the Reds intend to deliver any Americans. The South Koreans said many U.N. prisoners who refused repatriation did so only because they were told they would be sent to prison for aiding the Communists. A personal visit to the meetings would have brought the President face to face with a large number of republican women who apparently disagree with some of his foreign policy stands and also his opposition to the Bricker amendment to curtail presidential treaty-making powers. A group of Illinois and Wisconsin women pushing a petition supporting the constitutional amendment proposed by Sen. John W. Bricker of Ohio said they got 700 signatures among the 1,200 or more women attending. Two cabinet members, Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield and Interior Secretary Douglas McKay, and Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois were the featured windup speakers for the two-day meeting. Summerfield told a crowd of nearly 1,400 at a banquet last night that the Democratic meeting was a "rather shabby spectacle" which used "distortion and concealment" in an attempt to discredit the Elsenhower administration. McKay defended his department against Democratic charges that the Republicans are giving away natural resources to the greed and profits of big industry. He said he found in the department when he took over a "monopolistic viewpoint" that only the government should develop natural resources and "the mimeograph machines of the Reclamation Bureau, in some cases, were busier than the bulldozers on the projects." Dirksen charged that past Democratic administrations had put the federal government into the hands of "the greatest assembly of mediocre talent and incompetence that has ever been assembled." The theft of Car Wheels Reported by Resident The theft of both front wheels and their tires plus his rear view mirror was reported to police yesterday by Carl Cecil Rogers, 417 North Citrus St. Rogers told officers he had parked his 1950-Mercury sedan behind the Stables Cafe at 121 South Los Angeles St. Thursday night and found the wheels missing on his return yesterday.

Hinze, Fullerton station agent for the Santa Fe railroad, announced today that beginning Sunday, Sept. 27, the date the Pacific coast returns to Standard Time, all Santa Fe streamlines to and from Los Angeles and San Diego will stop in Fullerton to receive and discharge passengers. These changes in the Santa Fe train schedules, sought by Fullerton officials for many years, will greatly increase services for the citizens of Fullerton, Anaheim and other Northtrm Orange County cities stated Hinze. As a commuting service, the new schedule will permit as much as 13 hours in Los Angeles, or during business hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:40 p.m., explained Hinze.

The cargo vessel SS Seatrain Georgia reported it picked up two survivors. Another was plucked out of the ocean by the merchant vessel SS Nassau. The survivors were found on rafts after flares were sighted early today 150 miles east of Charleston, S.C. A Coast Guard report here quoted one survivor as saying nine of the plane's crew and passengers bailed out, but that seven went down with the plane when it plunged into the sea. Says Engine Blew Up Reports received here quoted a survivor as saying an engine of the big plane "ran away" and a wing seemed to "explode" before the crash. The injured survivors were to be transferred to the Nassau, which reported she has a doctor and hospital facilities aboard. Other survivors would be taken aboard the cutter Aurora out of Savannah, Ga., which was enroute to the scene. The Coast Guard said it sent nine planes and several cutters to the area to assist in rescue work. The four-engine converted bomber, based at Kindley Air Force Base, Bermuda, took off from Hunter Air Force Base here at 2:14 p.m. yesterday to return to the hurricane swept British resort yesterday, an Air Force spokesman said. Its estimated time of arrival at Kindley was 7:14 p.m. The huge craft was working with the Navy "hurricane hunter" planes in scouting out tropical blows. Its normal crew was about 10 men, Tibbey said, indicating that there was other Air Force personnel aboard. The names of all crew members and passengers were withheld. Two Men Jailed in Placentia Riot Two men were failed in Placentia last night at the conclusion of an all-out donnybrook which took place at the Placentia Legion Hall. Trouble began shortly past 10 p.m. when Placentia Chief of Police William H. Wingard stopped a dance being conducted by a group of Los Angeles people on grounds of indifference. He failed to make restitution, and made jail again on a non-support charge and later on a drunk driving count. That put him back into Superior Court as a probation violator. Castro suggested that he'd like "to get the whole thing cleared up" and asked for a prison sentence. Then, he said, he could start anew. Judge Gardner suggested that he face his problems like a man, go to work, support his family and make good—without label of excon. The prisoner jumped at the chance, and walked out of court on another probation, which Judge Gardner said will be his last. Weather Generally clear today and Sunday but patches of night and morning low clouds near the coast. Slightly warmer afternoons with high today near 82, 72 at the beaches.

(Bulletin photo) Placentia Riot Two men were failed in Placentia last night at the conclusion of an all-out donnybrook which took place at the Placentia Legion Hall. Trouble began shortly past 10 p.m. when Placentia Chief of Police William H. Wingard stopped a dance being conducted by a group of Los Angeles people on grounds of indecency. Outside the Legion Hall, the dancers refused to disperse and began breaking bottles — some against the police car. When Chief Wingard called for help from Sheriff's deputies, the all-out fight began. Jailed were Arthur F. Cordero, 32, of Chino; and Raul Garcia Rivera, 19, of Atwood when the pair refused to disperse. Answering the Placentia officer's radio call for help was one car from Anaheim, Fullerton and Brea in addition to the Sheriff's patrol. Chief Wingard said today that the group from Los Angeles had occupied the Legion Hall Sept. 11, at which time reports of indecent dancing was made to police. During yesterday's dance, an investigation was made by police authorities which resulted in closing of the dance. A similar occurrence by the same group was reported to have occurred in Fullerton some weeks ago. Former Appliance Dealer Loses Appeal to Court SANTA ANA—Antonio Silva, 45, head of an appliance store here, today had lost his appeal from a Superior Court conviction, and so must go to prison under court order unless he stays execution further by another appeal.
