La Rosa Hoping To Wed Soon NEW YORK (UP)—Julius La Rosa, alternately disillusioned with the price of fame and elated over promised fortune ahead, hopes the next big news about him will be a wedding announcement. In one breath the jittery baritone said he'd give up the rewards father than pay the price of hurting the girl he loves—Dorothy McGuire, one of the sister trio on Arthur Godfrey's program. The La Rosa's face broke out in a boyish grin at the prospect of earning a million dollars. "I'd be an idiot if I didn't say I was sitting on top of the world," he told reporters. "I wouldn't want to be in anybody else's shoes." "The marriage is in the hands of the church at this point," La Rosa said. Dorothy is married to St. John Brown, now stationed with the Army in Korea. Her mother is a minister in the Church of God in Mammshuang, G., and La Rosa is a Catholic. In Miami, however, the father of Vida McGuire took a dim view of La Rosa's romance with his daughter. "We don't know anything about it," A. C. McGuire told reporters. "We have not talked with Dorothy. That's just publicity, just lies." McGuire and Dorothy was "happy married" to Brown, "a fine boy." GORDON BAXTER'S ORCHESTRA Available For Dances, Parties, Etc. Phone Anaheim 5483 After 6 P.M. HILGENEELD MORTHARY TRAVELER'S AID—A young bicycling enthusiast is demonstrating a new device in Frankfurt, Germany. It's a special clamp that guarantees no accidental display of "cheesecake" while riding at a fast pace. This protection against high-flying skirts is specially designed to eliminate the danger of tearing, a costly nuisance to gals who must ride a bicycle in a dress.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN WE WERE coming to the end of our unhappy meal, when the familiar heavy steps sounded on the stairs like the tramp of doom, and the captain appeared in the doorway. He was wearing a fresh set of whites, and at some time during the night Randolph had put a clean bandage on his head, but he looked more than ever as if he had risen from his own grave. He still scowled ferociously, but there was not the old conviction behind it. When he saw Robert, he froze for a minute, and deepened the scowl. "So ye're out," he said. "I'm out," said Robert. "Just as well," Jonas murmured to my intense surprise. "I should say it is just as well," Brown cut in, unable to resist the opening. "Lord Tintagel could sue you for false arrest. Your whole conduct has been actionable. The first murder prima facie should have been radioed with a statement of the facts to the consul at your next port of call. Since presumably it was not committed within twelve miles of a sovereignity, the government under which the ship is registered, presumably our federal government, would be the aggrievant, and would prosecute. Or course, now having no radio, notice of the second murder cannot be sent, but it is clearly your duty to make for the nearest strolled forward. This maneuver deceived nobody. Randolph came back looking rather pleased with himself, and told us that Todd was out of danger. "Whoever tried to poison him was wasting time. He doesn't know any more than was common knowledge already. He is sleeping again now. I didn't tell him about Macbeth." Brown, his shadow, flung himself down impatiently. "We seem to be getting farther and farther into a fog, but I do not intend to be balked now." "Bravo," said Randolph, with no effort to conceal the sarcasm. "That leaves us all suspecting whomever we suspect." Carlotta reappeared, walked slowly to her chair with that undulating gait of hers. At last the captain came out, locked the door behind him with some ostentation, and stepped from the open passageway onto the deck. He held an envelope in his hand, sealed with a red seal, which he carried as if it were a hand grenade with the pin out, and he looked exceedingly uncomfortable. He stopped in front of the weary group in their chairs. "I don't rightly know what I had ought to do." This admission was so unexpected as to be shocking. "I don't hardly like to let another night go by." He stopped, and no one danced this masterpiece of unstatement. "You are right in one thing—the doctor said to Jonas. You much dirty linen has been already. I suggest that the lion would only add to it without creasing our useful knowledge. He had jumped up and was waking up and down in front of a brown listened to him with astonished rage. "What sort of unscrupulous devil's advocate you trying to be?" Randolph whirled as if to him, and made a wide gesture his arm. It was neatly timed paced. It caught the letterwheel of the Captain was still holding front of him by the two coats and swept it over the rail and the sea. The white envelope flickered out like a bird, and down into blue water. "Oh, I am sorry," Randolph. "How very awkward of me! The Captain began to laugh was not a moderate laughter was a bellow. "Hez! he shouted," come here now and bring the gun. Hez clattered down from bridge, 45 in hand. "That's rich," the Captain nangling on, "that's a good I'm sure glad you did that. You see, that was a dummy in case of just such monkey t." The real one's in the safe, as... you for false arrest. Your whole conduct has been actionable. The first murder prima facie should have been radioed with a statement of the facts to the consul at your next port of call. Since presumably it was not committed within twelve miles of a sovereigny, the government under which the ship is registered, presumably our federal government, would be the aggrieved, and would prosecute. Of course, now having no radio, notice of the second murder cannot be sent, but it is clearly your duty to make for the nearest American port with all speed. And it is a nice question whether by detaining us all in this unconscionable manner, you have not made yourself accessory before the fact in the second death." "Nobody on this ship is going to sue me." Jonas said. "There's too much all of ye don't want to have come out. Howbeever, things has gone far enough. I've about made up my mind to open the safe and get that letter out. Ye can come up now and see me do it, if ye like." When we followed the captain up to the promenade deck, we found that he was not going to do anything so simple as to allow us to watch him take the letter out of the safe. He had to play cat and mouse with us a little longer. The ship's carpenter was busy wrenching out the bolts which held the iron bar to Opdyke's door. When it came away Jonas hesitated. "I don't know about this." he said enigmatically. Then he stepped alone into the darkened cabin and we neared the bolt shoot home on the inside. Gay lay back in her chair as jellylike as an amoeba. Robert, for all his insuance, looked pale and drawn, the bones of his fine skull evident under the tight skin. I felt green and livid myself after my night's illness, and for the moment I did not care. All in all, we were a sorry company, with small resemblance to the well-fed, confidential group who had come off board only four nights before. After a while Randolph went below to take another look at Todd, and Brown trailed him like a mastiff after a leveret. Carlotta watched him out of sight down the after companionway, then rose and locked the door behind him with some ostentation, and stepped from the open passageway onto the deck. He held an envelope in his hand, sealed with a red seal, which he carried as if it were a hand grenade with the pin out, and he looked exceedingly uncomfortable. He stopped in front of the weary group in their chairs. "I don't rightly know what I had ought to do." This admission was so unexpected as to be shocking. "I don't hardly like to let another night go by . . ." By all means . . . "Brown began. Jonas held up a hand for silence. "Now Mr. Opdyke said seven days, but seeing as how there's been so much trouble, would you say I'd violate the will, Mr. Brown, if I was to open this and read it now?" "Under the circumstances, I think you might be found consistent with the intentions of the testator." The doctor dissented so sharply that we all sat up. "I can't agree. It seems to me it would violate the will." Brown gave him a furious look, but Randolph was at his most impervious. "I want to be fair. I must say what I think." While I was wondering what the motivation could be now, Brown threw himself into making his case. "So far as that is concerned, the safe was not opened in our presence as the will provided. Nevertheless, no will can require the legatee to do something illegal—that is, against public policy. Now certainly to detain us here in the face of all that has happened, is actionable. The captain would seem to me to run less risk of losing his inheritance, by doing whatever is helpful to the discovery of the crime." Jonas scowled from one to the other. "Ye've used a lot of words to say very little. But that's a lawyer's way. Like I told ye before, I don't think anybody from this ship is going to drag matters into court. When ye get ashore, ye'll want to keep quiet, and hope the others will. But there’s been too much killing, and I don’t like it. I've got to hold a double funeral this afternoon for the cook and the stewardess, and that’s enough." Oh, I am sorry," Randolph said. "How very awkward of me!" The Captain began to laugh was not a moderate laughter was a bellow. Hez clattered down from bridge, 45 in hand. "That's rich," the Captain hanging on, "that's a good one I'm sure glad you did that. You see, that was a dummy I in case of just such monkey tails. The real one's in the safe, as as it ever was, and the safety been opened yet. I did a hard thinking in there this afternoon and my idea worked out quite good. You're mighty anxious to have us see that letter, but what there is to be seen, see. And then maybe you're one to be arrested, after that Randolph said. "So far as cusing me of murder is concealment you haven't a shred of evil Do you suppose I would be enough to drop my revolver on deck, on the off chance that would be picked up by Brown? Besides, I was Open doctor. If I had wanted to go of him, I could have removed quietly. There are a variety natural causes which could have been simulated." "Ye're a bunch of smarts at the Captain roared," the whale of ye. But ye can't convince that black is white. And that another fact or two ye'd know. "We used up a whale of fuel buckling that storm. We don't make port tonight, never make it under our steam. I figure we are about hours out of Fredericksted Croix. That's our nearest A can port, and about as we'll go. "Now, I'll not fool ye. Don't get the murderer in this hour or so, I'll turn her over and head back for the open We've no radio, as ye know to be adrift in these waters helpless ship is not a thin fancy. But Opdyke was gone me, and I mean to see done him. It's shipwreck o'er and bear that in mind. So along now. We'll get at them (To Be Continued)." Lockheed Strike Looming in L. A. LOS ANGELES (UP)—The possibility of a strike against another California aircraft firm lomed today as a walkout at North American Aviation company plants here and in Columbus, O., and Fresno Calif., entered its fifth day. Spokesmen for the AFL International Association of Machinists, which has predeged its support to the current strike by CIO United Auto Workers at North American, reported no progress has been made in negotiations with Lockheed Aircraft Corp., in nearby Burbank. The North American strike has halted production on seven military planes, including the Air Force's first supersonic fighter, the F100 Super Sabre, and the F86 Sabre jet of Korean War fame. President John Snider of the IAM District Lodge 727 declared he would "definitely recommend a strike vote" at a mass meeting on Nov. 1 "unless we have made some progress." His statement came as federal conciliators reported little hope for immediate settlement of the strike of 33,000 UAW members. The AFL union's contract with Lockheed, covering some 27,000 workers, expires Nov. 9. The union also is negotiating with Douglas Aircraft plants in nearby Santa Monica and El Segundo and the Convair aircraft firm in San Diego. The CIO union has demanded a 26-cent hourly wage boost. Snider said his union sought a 12 per cent pay increase plus fringe benefits. Gen. Dean Wants Combat Command Gen. Dean Wants Combat Command BY H. D. QUIGG NEW YORK (UP)—Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, who spent three years in Communist prison camps, said today he hopes the Army gives him another command of combat troops. "There's not a damn thing wrong with me," he said. Dean, the first Medal of Honor winner of the Korean War, whose intrepidity sparked GI morale in the dark days of July, 1950, when they were holding a thin line against the Communists, came here for New York's traditional salute to men of courage, a ticker tape parade. Dean's first thought on arrival was to try to see Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who was his commander in Korea. He said he had no appointment "But I'm going to gry to get one." Dean flew here from West Pint, where he had gone to see the Army-Columbia football game with his son, William F. Jr., 23, a cadet. He was met at the airport by his wife, Mildred, who had flown here from California to share honors in the reception. Asked if there was a chance he would be assigned to a diplomatic post, Dean said: "I hope not. I am certain I wouldn't be considered for that. I am not fitted for it. I'm just a soldier." Dean rode with Grover Whalen, chairman of the mayor's reception committee, in the cavalcade. Behind them Mrs. Dean rode with Lt. Witheg A. Burress, commander of the First Army. Expert Says MIG 15 Inferior to Sabre Jet TOKYO (UP) — Gen. O. P. Weyland, Far East Air Force commander, said expert American speed pilots had tested a Russian-made MIG15 on Okinawa and found it inferior to the Sabre jet as a combat fighter. Weyland said the pilots particularly noted the lack of automatic Scientists Study Drop In Heart Disease in War LOS ANGELES (UP)—Heart disease showed a definite decline in Sweden and England during World War II, a Swedish doctor told the 23rd annual Symposium on Heart Disease. Dr. Harold Ellasch, of Stockholm, said there was no answer to the decline. "We do not know the answer, unless that during the war we are too busy scrambling to save our lives and our freedom to indulge in the luxury of falling health," he said yesterday. Lions Club Meets Varsity Gridders Friday is "Varsity Day" at the Lions Club meeting as the local Lions honored Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke's boys prior to going into battle against the Oilers. The guests of honor were introduced and Coaches Van Hoorebeke and John Wallin spoke briefly about the varsity's past record, training and what is expected of them during the Sunset League play-offs. Rounding out the program, the AUHS yell leaders led the varsity members in a yell for the Lions, then Leo Harpin directed the Lion members in a yell for the team. The Colonist's song leaders gave a demonstration of their song-leading technique. A special feature of the meeting was the 15-voice Mozart Choir led by Sheldon Disrud. Members of the team participated in singing "There's Nothing Like a Dame." Guest speaker of the afternoon L. A. Smog Board Probe Demand LOS ANGELES (UP)—Supervisor Kenneth Hahn was immediate investigation of a Pollution Control Board who calls "the joker in the enforcing smog regulations." Hahn called for the invest last night following a report by a member of his staff, tended meetings of the board week. The supervisor charged board with nullifying and laws by granting violators' nuances. He said the three-mile cost taxpayers $202,838 aries over a six-year per though some of its sessions only five minutes. "The hearing board is still in the enforcement of smogations," he said. "The ten officers order violators corrective steps but then deal to the hearing board if variances which extend as at a year." Hahn claimed that boards receive $50 a sessil usually schedule only one hearing and meet once often in one month. He said he planned to ask supervisors for support of their form program" under which panel members would hold long meetings twice a month receive $10 per meeting, of $50. A board member, Dr. M Hartmann, said the rep which Hahn based his charm "factually accurate," but noting in that "last week's hit happened to be excep short." Expert Says MIG 15 Inferior to Sabre Jet TOKYO (UP) — Gen. O. P. Weyland, Far East Air Force commander, said expert American speed pilots had tested a Russian-made MIG15 on Okinawa and found it inferior to the Sabre jet as a combat fighter. Weyland said the pilots particularly noted the lack of automatic equipment and controls which kept the pilot busy and diverted his attention from alert flying. He said other deficiencies in the Russian-made plane, surrendered to the Allies by a North Korean fugitive from Communism, included lower maximum speed, insufficient stall warning and poor cockpit comfort. Weyland said the heating and ventilating systems in the MIG are poor and that the cockpit is so small a large man would have difficulty flying it. The general said the pilots came to Okinawa from Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The special team included Ma. Charles Yeager, first man to crash the sound barrier, and ace test pilot Capt. Tom Collins. Tomato Processing Tops Earlier Estimate SACRAMENTO (UP)—California processing tomato production has topped the 1,000,000 mark, the state Canning Tomato Inspection service announced today. The service said 215,867 tons harvested the week ending Oct. 9 brought the seasonal total to 1,055,640 tons, a mark much higher than earlier anticipated for this time of season. At the same time last year, the total was 1,353,103 tons. But last year's tonnage came from 112,000 acres while only 80,000 were in production this season. Walter Mitchell, chief of the inspection service, said that if the weather holds out for the next several weeks, the crop will "undoubtedly" set a new high yield mark. Rounding out the program, the AUHs yell leaders led the varsity members in a yell for the Lions, then Leo Harpin directed the Lion members in a yell for the team. The Colonist's song leaders gave a demonstration of their song-leading technique. A special feature of the meeting was the 15-voice Mozart Choir led by Sheldon Dlsrud. Members of the team participated in singing "There's Nothing Like a Dame." Guest speaker of the afternoon was Mike Percarovich, who spoke on what is needed to become a champion. A champion is a state of mind like a student and scholar. If a person can be continuously enthusiastic about what he is doing, he can do nothing but succeed. The right state of mind and will power are the main ingredients of becoming a champion and these are the motivating factor of all great champions. Determination and character are also vitally important, he said. Army Says Desertions Drop During Year WASHINGTON (UP)—The Army reported today that its AWOL and desertion rates each have fallen about 30 per cent since it started cracking down on runaways in January. About 6900 AWOL soldiers have been shipped overseas under the new northeast policy, the Army said. The Army established the new policy after it appeared "a disproportionate number" of soldiers were going AWOL to avoid duty overseas, particularly in Korea. The new policy called for shipping the runaway men overseas once they were captured rather than putting them in stockades to serve time. In the first six months since the policy went into effect the Army said its AWOL rate has declined 30.8 per cent under the same period in 1952 and the desertion rate has decreased 31 per cent.

M. A. Smog Board Probe Demanded LOS ANGELES (UP)—County supervisor Kenneth Hahn wants an immediate investigation of the Air Pollution Control Board which he calls "the joker in the enforcement smog regulations." Hahn called for the investigation last night following a report to him a member of his staff who attended meetings of the board last week. The supervisor charged the board with nullifying anti-smog laws by granting violators continuances. He said the three-man pan-cost taxpayers $20,832 in salaries over a six-year period although some of its sessions lasted five minutes. "The hearing board is the oker the enforcer of smog regulations," he said. "The air pollution officers order violators to take corrective steps but then appeal to the hearing board and get variances which extend as much a year." Hahn claimed that board members receive $50 a session but usually schedule only one case per hearing and meet as often as 18 times in one month. He said he planned to ask fellow supervisors for support of a "reform program" under which the panel members would hold day-long meetings twice a month and receive $10 per meeting, instead of $30. A board member, Dr. Miner L Hartmann, said the report on which Hahn based his charges was factually accurate, but misleading in that "last week's hearings happened to be exceptionally short." Bulletin Want Ads Bring Results CHICAGO (UP) — President Eisenhower is taking action personally in a drive to reduce accidents that kill and main federal employees, the assistant labor secretary, Harrison C. Hobert, said today. Hobart said Mr. Eisenhower became concerned when the Labor Department reported to the Cabinet that accidents killed 243 government workers, injured 42,000 others, and cost the government 100 million dollars in the past fiscal year. The assistant secretary said the cost was "approximately four times the amount appropriated for the work of the Department of Labor." Hobart spoke before a federal safety conference held in conjunction with the 41st annual National Safety Congress opening today. The National Safety Council, which sponsors the congress, was presented with a federal charter which makes it a quasi-official adjunct of the government. Rep. Clifford Davis (D-Tenn) made the presentation at a meeting attended by most of the 12,000 persons here for the five day congress.
