FBI Finds Mrs. Heady Wrong One WASHINGTON (N) — FBI officials were considerably embarrassed today at the way they muffled the identification of Mrs. Bonnie Heady, an accused kidnapper of Bobby Greenlease. They were particularly red faced because it was their second conspicuous bobble in the case. They already had made a mistake in reporting the confession of another one of the kidnapers, Carl Austin Hall. The identification difficulty stemmed from a rare coincidence, the existence of two Bonnie Brown Heady's. In announcing the kidnappers' arrests Wednesday, the FBI picked the wrong one. It said the Mrs. Heady taken into custody was the widow of a professional gunman and had a long criminal record, including arrests for prostitution, aiding a prisoner to escape, and harboring a fugitive. A check of fingerprints showed up the error. In a statement yesterday, an FBI spokesman admitted the criminal record released Wednesday "did not pertain to the SHAVERS Schick - Sunbeam - Remington Shearing Heads - Repalra Selarsen Ground Car Shaven - Shavex Free Demonstrations Liberal traded KIDNAPED BOY SLAIN!—After confessing to kidnapping Bonnie Heady and Carl Hall answered questions of station.

The prisoner's attorney said in St. Louis that his client was a respected St. Joseph, Mo., housewife until she turned to drink a few years ago, divorced her husband, and began keeping company with Hall. He said she had no police record. In reporting Hall's confession, the FBI originally quoted him as saying he had killed the 6-year-old RESTS FOR PROSTITUTION, AIDING A PRISONER TO Escape, AND HARBORING A FUGITIVE.

LOUIS (UP)—Former President Harry S. Truman, who opened up on the Republicans on Labor Day, kept punching today with a charge that the Eisenhower administration was a group of "stand still" men devoted to a "little America." He told a dinner gathering of some 700 members of the CIO Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America here last night that "the idea of trying to stop a depression after it gains headway is not good enough for us today." "The government should be striving with all its might not only to maintain every bit of the prosperity we now have, but also to help us achieve more prosperity year by year," Mr. Truman said. The former President was awarded the $1000 annual Sidney Hillman Foundation citation for meritorious public service. Mr. Truman was roundly applauded when he called the economic policies of the administration the "thinking of men who have neither faith nor vision" and formulated by "pinch-penny minds...who are exponents of a little America." "All around us now," he said, "we see evidence of fear about the future. We are told that we are being destroyed by governors." County Planners Approve Permit for Truck Storage Yard East of Anaheim SANTA ANA — Despite staff recommendations for denial, the Orange County Planning Commission has recommended the Board of Supervisors grant a five year permit to Ralph W. Beatty for a truck storage yard to be located on the southeast of Anaheim Rd., northeast of Blue Gum St., east of Anaheim. Two commercial buildings were recommended for the La Habra area, although use of one proposed building was restricted to such CI usage as would not require more than six off-street parking spaces, thus preventing establishment of a restaurant on the premises. The limited use was recommended for the four-unit building proposed by Arlen P. Deckert, to be built on the north side of Whittier Blvd., east of Citrus Dr.T he second permit recommended was for Clarence Hash, who plans an office and icehouse to be located on the north side of Ocean Ave. just west of Fullerton Rd. Also recommended for approval were applications by Harold W. Finney for pasturing horses on a small ranch located on the south side of W. 5th St. and east of the Santa Ana River west of the Santa Ana city limits, and by the Hugh C. Marshall Co, for a temporary real estate office on the south side of Vanderlip Ave., west of Newport Ave. in the Tustin district. Balletin Want Ads Bring Results Exchangites Told Of Problems Facing Schools "Anaheim school authorities are second-guessing Mr. Stork," declared Elementary Superintendent Paul Cook yesterday in an address before members of the Anaheim Exchange Club. This somewhat obscure statement was clarified by the veteran school administrator in figures cited covering new population and the increased load on public schools in the city this year. Superintendent Cook, stating the increase in population from 17,500 the last census to an estimated 22,500 this year, declared that overcrowding of elementary schools was the result of an increase in enrollment of more than 900 pupils over last year. To overcome this increase in enrollment, Cook told Exchangites, new classrooms are now being built; students are being transported by bus from crowded schools to less populated schools, and a positive plan for increasing the number of classrooms is now under development. "Funds from sale of John C. Premont junior high school to the high school district are providing our money for elementary school expansion," Cook explained. "This includes the construction of new classrooms." Mr. Truman was roundly applauded when he called the economic policies of the administration the "thinking of men who have neither faith nor vision" and formulated by "pinch-penny minds...who are exponents of a little America." "All around us now," he said, "we see evidence of fear about the future. We are told that we are being destroyed by government spending. "We are told that taxes will ruin us...that business has to be curbed and held back by hard money, money that's hard to get by the poor man, and that our economy will not stand the strain of larger national security programs." "This is the thinking of men who have neither vision nor faith." Mr. Truman said. "It is no wonder that the stock market falls, that credit tightens, that our farmers live in uncertainty and doubt, that a wave of uneasiness moves across the country."

To overcome this increase in enrollment, Cook told Exchangites, new classrooms are now being built; students are being transported by bus from crowded schools to less populated schools, and a positive plan for increasing the number of classrooms is now under development. "Funds from sale of John C. Premont junior high school to the high school district are providing our money for elementary school expansion." Cook explained. "This includes the construction of new classrooms at Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin schools, proposed expansion at Lincoln school, construction of the new Acacia St. school and addition of rooms at Loarra school." Service club members were told of plans for construction of a school at Loars and North streets and a future school plant designed to be built at Vermont and Placentia Ave., adjacent to the city-owned university site. "This latter construction," Cook said, "is hoped to be in conjunction with a city-planned park on the present city-owned property. In this way, students may use facilities of the park and the public may use the school grounds for public recreation and other events." Future development of Anaheim may also see a school built in the extreme south-west portion of the city, the administrator declared. Cook was introduced by Program Chairman Lowen Casey following a brief business session handled by Club President George Carter.

Arbor Day Fete Set at Newport NEWPORT BEACH — Observance of the third annual Newport Beach Arbor Day Saturday morning will mark completion of the transformation of a once-stagnant wading pool into a useful recreation park as well as the beautification of Balboa Blvd. Arbor Day was launched three years ago by a group of citizens who were promoting the planting and beautification of the center islands of the newly widened boulevard. Each year additional plantings have been made and on Saturday, the landscaping will be carried along the recently completed section of the street in West Newport. Cooperating with the Arbor Day Committee, which sponsors a community parade along the boulevard, are the West Newport Improvement Association and the City Parks and Recreation Commission, and the tree planting will include 35 large trees and numerous shrubs in the West Newport Park, located between 38th and 38th Sts. at the boulevard. Shuffleboard courts, playground equipment, volleyball court and provision for picnicking already has been installed in the park which was formed by filling in the abandoned pool area, and the landscaping will complete the park. Carrying the civic beautification program further, a committee headed by Ed Millett has arranged a year-round contest for residents of Newport Beach; starting Arbor Day. Prizes for tree plantings, landscaping and general improvement of residential property will be awarded in 1954 on the PUT DOWN REVOLT — Fatigue parties (left foreground) load stores and ammunition aboard the cruiser HMS Superb at Kingston, Jamaica.

More Than 20 Countians Top $650 in Individual Subscriptions to CROP More than a score of Orange County citizens have subscribed More Than 20 Countians Top $650 in Individual Subscriptions to CROP More than a score of Orange County citizens have subscribed in excess of $650 in the initial contact made in behalf of needy war and famine victims overseas through Christian Rural Overseas Program. It was announced today by the Orange County Farm Bureau, which is acting as local depository for funds and commodities being donated by California farmer and city folks to CROP. This announcement was made today by Cecil Marks, Executive Secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau, as he turned over checks for CROP to Franklin Lowney, its State Director from Los Angeles. In a letter sent to all Orange County Farm Bureau members, a special Joint Committee for CROP comprising George Kellogg, A.J. McFadden and other local civic, farm, church and business leaders of the community were urged to support the statewide drive being made to help war refugees in Pakistan, Korea, the Near East and Western Germany. Non-Prefit Plan CROP, a non-profit inter-denominational organization operating at the national level and affiliated with the World Council of Churches, collects, assembles and ships commodities abroad. With each subscriptions it handles transportation charges and buys other food items such as baby food at shipside to accompany cargoes of wheat, beans, rice and other staples being sent to points of greatest need in war devastated areas. The CROP appeal letter sent to over 3,000 Farm Bureau members of Orange County is as follows: "An effort is under way throughout California to recruit farm commodities for shipment overseas to war and famine victims, through Christian Rural Overseas Program, a non-profit rehabilitation agency." "We are inviting the cooperation of Orange County agriculturists in making any allocation of their farm products they are willing to share with the hungry uprooted men, women and children of underprivileged areas abroad." Staples Sought "While staples such as beans, wheat, rice and livestock are being sought for export in car-load lots, perishables are also acceptable. Such produce is then sold at domestic markets and items easy to ship are purchased, such as baby food and dried fruit." On the other hand, many folks prefer to send a donation to needy war victims one of the most outstanding in California, in behalf of this deeply significant program of mercy. Plan Big Outlays On County Homes Orange County home owners will spend an estimated $8,926,000 during the 1953 on repairing and modernizing non-farm dwellings. "As the great postwar home building boom begins to slacken, home repair and reconditioning will assume major importance to the building trades in every community," said Robert Bailey, chairman of the residential construction committee of the Title Council of America, which released the estimate. Nearly two of every three home owners here will make some expenditure during the year to improve their property according to the report. Painting of either the exterior or interior will be the most common repair, with work on roofs second and replacing or repairing heating equipment third. One of every 11 homes in the U.S. has water pipes repaired, a bathroom tiled or a shower installed in an average year, the report revealed. Six of every 100 have carpentry work done. The kitchen is the area most families want to improve first. The resulting demand for new major equipment, clay tile for counter tops and drain-boards, and kitchen cabinets means prosperity in the community for many concerns and for skilled workmen, the report points out. Home repair expenditures throughout the nation will total almost $4 billion in 1953, the report estimated. This will be one of the heaviest outlays in U.S. history for such work. making any allocation of the farm products they are willing to share with the hungry uprooted men, women and children of under-privileged areas abroad." Staples Sought "While staples such as beans, wheat, rice, and livestock are being sought for export in car-load lots, perishables are also acceptable. Such produce is then sold at domestic markets and items easy to ship are purchased, such as baby food and dried fruit." "On the other hand, many folks prefer to send a check to CROP with which it can purchase food at ship-side in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, thus saving on freight haulage. Overseas, the food is distributed through churches without cost. The Federal Government assumes all shipping charges beyond our borders." "This is a great humanitarian program, which has the strong endorsement of farm, civic and church leaders throughout this State and the country generally. Orange County Farm Bureau is cooperating in processing and addressing the letters, with CROP furnishing the material." "Would you kindly sign the pledge card on the enclosed leaflet, indicating thereon what you are willing to give, and when; or attach a check if you wish to make a cash contribution. All subscriptions are tax-deductible." "Mail your pledge card today to CROP, P.O. Box 361, Santa Ana California.
