10 — ANAHEIM (Cal.) BULLETIN Tuesday, October 6, 1953 Mother, Six Children Killed When Steel-Laden Trailer Crushes Auto LOS ANGELES (P)—A pleasant little circle drive in nearby Norwalk, became an avenue of grief today as families and neighbors mourned the deaths of six children and a mother, killed when their sedan was crushed by a giant trailer truck loaded with 20 tons of steel. The children, ranging in age from two to five years, were being taken on a swimming party by the woman, identified as Mrs. Helen Lee. 29, mother of one of the victims, when the accident occurred here yesterday. The huge truck ground the car over the pavement for more than 150 yards. The California Highway Patrol said Mrs. Lee was making a left turn at an intersection when the truck, driven by Harry Pierce Bauder, 24, struck it broadside. Both vehicles swept through a crowded parking lot. Highway Patrolman N. C. Smith booked Bauder on suspicion of manslaughter. Parents of the young victims, called to the scene, stood horror, struck as ambulance attendants and firemen removed bodies from the wreckage. The victims in addition to Mrs. Lee, were identified as her daughter, Karen, 4: three children belonging to another family, Sandra Jean Diller, 5, her sister, Linda, 4, and Randy; 2: Timmy Pulliam, 3, and Susan Shiney, 3. Officers said Bauder, who was uninjured, told them Mrs. Lee's car turned abruptly in front of him and that he could not stop his truck to avoid a collision. $133 Million Cut Seen in Dam Costs WASHINGTON (UP)—An Idaho Power Company engineer indicated today the company may be able to shave the $133,000,000 estimate the company submitted to the Federal Power Commission for construction of three low dams in Hells Canyon. E. A. Woodhead, chief consulting engineer, for the company, raised the possibility in testifying on Idaho Power's application for permits for the dams. He said the $133,000,000 estimate was a result of a preliminary investigation only and the company's final cost on dams has always been below the preliminary estimate. Woodhead made the statement under cross questioning by John Mason, an attorney for the commission. Mason questioned him closely about amounts included in the estimate for "contingencies," or "unforeseen events." Mason said he saw no such allowances in the estimate. "Some put one figure at the end for contingencies," he said. "I don't see the sense of that." Mason asked him to prepare a The victims in addition to Mrs. Lee, were identified as her daughter, Karen, 4: three children belonging to another family, Sandra Jean Diller, 8, her sister, Linda, 4, and Randy, 2; Timmy Pulliam, 3, and Susan Shiney, 3. Officers said Bauder, who was uninjured, told them Mrs. Lee's car turned abruptly in front of him and that he could not stop his truck to avoid a collision. Public Confused On Size of Russ H-Bomb Arsenal WASHINGON (UP) — Contradictory statements from three high officials today produced a new peak of public confusion about the size of Russia's H-bomb arsenal. In direct conflict were Chairman W. Sterling Cole of the Congressional Atomic Energy Committee, who said Russia has "H-bombs—plural," and Civil Defense Administrator Val Peterson, who said he is "assuming" that neither Russia nor the United States "has the hydrogen bomb yet." Third contributor to the prevailing confusion was Defense Mobilizer Arthur S. Flemming, who said in a weekend report that Russia is now "capable of delivering suddenly and without warning the most destructive weapon ever devised by man on chosen targets in the United States." He first told reporters he meant H-bombs, but later said he had not intended to credit Russia with a stockpile of completed Hydrogen weapons. The Atomic Energy Commission whose secret intelligence reports presumably are equally available to Cole, Peterson and Flemming, declined to comment on the various declarations. The only official AEC statement on the matter was issued Aug. 20, and merely confirmed that Russia had set off a hydrogen explosion. The AEC did not say then, and has refused to say since, whether the Soviet explosion involved a cumbersome test "device" or a finished weapon that could be delivered on a target. Workman Holds Grudge; Kills His Employer ALHAMBRA (UP)—A workman who shot and killed one of his employers and missed another was starting in on a list of five intended victims before he turned the woodhead made the statement under cross questioning by John Mason, an attorney for the commission. Mason questioned him closely about amounts included in the estimate for "contingencies," or "unforeseen events." Mason said he saw no such allowances in the estimate. "Some put one figure at the end for contingencies," he said. "I don't see the sense of that." Mason asked him to prepare a document showing all contingency amounts allowed. The commission attorney also questioned an amount of $400,000 included in the estimate for interest charges during construction of the dams. Woodhead said the interest was computed on a month by month average of the amount invested in the dams, which Mason said differed from the system usually used. Woodhead also pointed out that the dams would start producing power and earning income before construction was completed. In the case of Oxbow Dam, he said, the construction period is 24 months but one unit will start producing after 20 months. Administration Warned On Russian Agreement WASHINGTON (UP)—The administration had full and sufficient notice today that it might run into trouble in Congress if it tries to negotiate a non-aggression pact with Russia. Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland said late yesterday that free elections in Russia's European satellites should be an indispensable condition of any such agreement. Any other course, he told a news conference, would be a "mistake" and "would not be peace with honor but another Yalta or Munie." The administration has been giving some thought, still very tentative, to the idea of a non-aggression pact to ease Russian fears of Western attack and to comfort U.S. allies. But diplomatic observers said the idea might just as well be dropped if Knowland's proposal is accepted since no one can see the Soviets surrendering their satellits. Sen. Kuchel Addresses Alma Mater USC Today LOS ANGELES (UP)—Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel, in a Founders Workman Holds Grudge; Kills His Employer ALHAMBRA (UP)—A workman who shot and killed one of his employers and missed another was starting in on a list of five intended victims before he turned the gun on himself, police reported today. The workman, Charles Reeves, 73, charged into the office of welding company superintendent Ernest H. Peters, 52, yesterday and shot him in the stomach. Peters died an hour later. Reeves then went into the office of foreman Eli Marinovich, 32, and fired another shot, but missed. He then fired a bullet into his own head and was not expected to live. A letter found in the wounded man's pockets told of a five-year-old grudge dating from the time he said Peters had tried to get rid of him. The letter said Reeves would "attend, to" Peters, Marinovich and three other persons "in my own way." Aussie Grandmother Gives Birth to Quads SYDNEY, Australia (UP)—A grandmother gave birth today to quadruplets in a farming town 326 miles northwest of Sydney and the father started hunting for an extra tent to solve his housing problem. Mrs. Ethel Hudson, 38, was almost sure she was going to bear twins when her husband, Elli 40 a contractor, took her to the maternity ward in the Gilgandra District Hospital. Mrs. Hudson was not surprised, then, when Dr. Trevor Williams delivered a 45-ounce boy and a 61-ounce girl. She was somewhat flustered when the third child, a 58-ounce girl, was born and downright flabbergasted when she gave birth to the fourth child, a 53-ounce daughter. It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin Sen. Kuchel Addresses Alma Mater USC Today LOS ANGELES (UP)—Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel, in a Founders Day speech at his alma mater, praised the American system of having both private and state colleges as a "strong bastion of freedom." Kuchel, in an address at the University of Southern California yesterday, said that "as long as the independent colleges are free to speak, few will dare and none will long succeed in bending any public institutions to political use." Egyptian Official Sentenced for Treason CAIRO, Egypt (UP)—Former Cabinet Minister Ibrahim Farag was convicted today on charge of treason against the government of President Gen. Mohammed Naguib and sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor. He was the third Egyptian found guilty of treason by the powerful three-man revolutionary tribunal set up to deal with enemies of the state.

Surgeons Consider Medical Ethics CHICAGO (UP)—The American College of Surgeons, which split the medical profession into quarrelling factions last year with its investigations of tree splitting and "ghost surgery," today considered another proposal to advance medical ethics. Dr. Harold L. Foss, retiring president of the college, said last night that hospitals should set up a "box score" system to check how efficient they and physicians really are. The ACS meeting here in its annual clinical congress, is already working on a set of standards for such a reform, Foss said in a speech. He said the medical profession owes it to itself to "clean its own house and reduce the possibility of needless interference" from the government and other sources. The "box score" system, Foss said, could be used to determine the proper length of a time a person should be hospitalized for various diseases, the "hatting average" of accuracy in diagnosis, cases of misused drug therapy and other practices. Growing public indignation about Gunbattle Kills Boy; Wounds Police Office CHICAGO (UP)—A policeman was wounded and an 11-year-old boy has been killed in the cross-fire of a running gun battle, started when an auto theft suspect ran from a police station. More than 25 squads of police today searched the tumble-down tenements and cluttered alleys of Chicago's south side for the fugitive. The boy, Daniel De Cero, was shot in the neck and head as the suspect ran from the East Chicago police station last night firing at pursuing officers. Daniel was walking to a neighborhood ice cream parlor. It was not immediately known whether the fatal bullets were fired by policemen or the fugitive, Corey Robinson, a 19-year-old negro. Daniel died a short time later at south Chicago hospital. Policeman James Quinlan, 50, was wounded in the left thigh during the gun battle. surgery practices prompted the undertaking of the "box score" program, Foss said. He said the new standards now being developed would be used in a trial at 14 Michigan hospitals starting next Jan. 1. SAFETY WEEK...
