Local Man Charges "Frame" in Dope Case SANTA ANA—Insisting that he was "framed" Pedro C. Calvo, 25, of Anaheim went on trial today before a jury in Superior Judge Robert Gardner's court, charged with possession of a marijuana cigarette. Calvo, who is now on parole from San Quentin where he was sentenced in Oct. 1950 for possession and use of marijuana, denies that he is guilty this time. A "reefer" found in his coat ticket by a Santa Ana officer at Dance in American Legion Hall last Sept. 19, must have been planted there Calvo contends. He said there were two opportunities for a "frame" that evening. Once he laid his coat down in an Anaheim pool hall, and later at the Legion dance. The cigarette could have been placed in his pocket at one of those times he says.

A. Hershey and his attorney, James Monroe, will carry their fight for Hershey's reinstatement to the city personnel board today, they announced, in an attempt to obtain more specific charges from City Manager Carl Thornton, who dismissed Hershey for "inefficiency and incompetency". Attorney Monroe had announced earlier that he also would appeal to Superior court to compel Thornton to be more specific in his charges, which were based on a private investigator's report of gambling and vice in the city. As a third prong of his attack, Monroe said he also will present a letter to the city council asking removal of three members of the personnel board, Robert Fernandez, office equipment dealer; Clyde Ashen, who is associated with a printing firm, and John Lindley, sales manager for a truck agency. These three, Monroe contends, must keep the good will of Thornton because they do business with the city. The council also will be asked to require the city manager to give a deposition to Monroe if more specific charges are not forthcoming, the attorney said. Monroe indicated that the court action might be avoided if the personnel board can produce for him the specific charges he has demanded. He pointed out in a letter to City Attorney John Colwell that there is no provision in personnel board procedure to furnish such specific charges, but he was hopeful that they could be obtained anyway. ATTENTION HOUSEHOLDER For Trick or Treat remember there are articles to give at the door that can help those in need. The cost will be no more.
