New Raids Net 47 Wetback
Placentia, Atwood, La Jolla Colony
Included in Early Morning Roundup
PLACENTIA (OCNS)—Immigration officers and city police made another "Wetback" raid early this morning that netted 47 aliens illegally in the country.
Most of those rounded up were docile and sleepy-eyed at the early hour, but some tried to escape by running through alleys and orange groves.
Red Arms Cargo
To Guatemala Said
Threat to West
Most of these stopped when police pistol bullets whistled over their heads.
Little was left to guesswork and the officers had pre-plotted each location before starting the tri-city dragnet at 4 a.m.
Placentia netted most of the prisoners, but some were taken in Atwood and La Jolla colony.

Red Arms Cargo To Guatemala Said Threat to West
WASHINGTON (UP) — A State Department spokesman said today that Communist shipment of arms to Guatemala could be considered a threat to security of the Western Hemisphere.
Spokesman Lincoln White said he is not forecasting any U.S. action in connection with Russian-handled shipments of arms to Guatemala. But he conceded that some move could be taken against Guatemala under terms of the Rio Treaty.
Provides For Talks
The treaty provides, among other things, for consultation among American nations to decide what should be done to combat any threat to the security of the Western Hemisphere.
White said the United States brought attention of the other American states to the arms shipment yesterday. He said the action was taken here, but he declined to give further details.
White was asked whether the army shipment is the sort of thing that could bring action under the Rio Treaty.
White replied that certainly something could be done under the treaty, but that he was not forecasting what the United States might do.
Sees No U.S. Initiative
Officials had emphasized earlier that the United States itself probably will not press for action, preferring to let a Latin American nation initiate any move.

Placentia netted most of the prisoners, but some were taken in Atwood and La Jolla colony.
Conditions under which the wet-backs were living were called deplorable by officers, who dragged them out of chicken coops, shacks, and from underneath houses.
Fifteen aliens were taken from a chicken coop they were sharing with 40 Rhode Island red hens and a big rooster.
Immigration Officers W. D. Barnes, Clarence Jiles, and George Renner pushed in doors and dashed into darkened homes and hovels to make arrests, apparently oblivious to the fact that among Wetbacks are known narcotics addicts and saboteurs.
Placentia police officers Cleo Milligan and Chief Albert Simmen made raids of their own, calling an experience gained from rounding up aliens in other Southland areas for many years.
The officers did not seem too surprised when some of the Wetbacks grinned and promised to be back in the orange groves and berry patches within two days. When questioned, they explained that they recognized several faces they had seen in a raid here Thursday that netted 86 Wetbacks.
One of the Mexicans claimed he was picked up Thursday and transported to the border, where he said hello and then goodbye in quick succession, then walked back to Placentia, taking back roads.
Another claimed he walked all the way from Alisco, Mexico, and after crossing the border near San Diego he traveled through fields and groves all the way back again. "I had a good job too," he mumbled. "I was making 75 cents an hour and that is 25 cents more than I got last time."
Immigration officers said they always do their best to collect back wages earned by the Mexicans when they transport them back to the border. "By collecting their money we can stop the practice of employers calling us just before pay day," he said.

Seek Escapees From County Jail
SANTA ANA, (OCNS) — Two prisoners have escaped from the Orange County Jail in Santa Ana.

Two Girls Injured in Juvenile’s Escape Try
SANTA ANA—Climaxing a wild two-day spree of automobile theft and burglary after escaping from the County Juvenile Home Saturday evening, Edward Coleman Rumsower, 15, of Irvine drove a stolen car crashing through the wall of a home near El Toro last night, crushing a young girl seriously as she sat at a desk writing a letter.
Young Rumsower was back in “maximum detention” at the Juvenile Home today, facing charges of escape, resisting arrest, six motor vehicle thefts and four burglaries.
His final victim, Mrs. Patricia Curtis, 18, a bride living at the home of her uncle Major Robert Babbitt, 13282 Wake St., near El Toro Marine Base, was taken to Corona Naval hospital, suffering with a possible broken pelvis.
She was crushed against an inside wall of the Babbitt living room when the automobile suddenly thrust its nose through the outer wall and hurled itself across the room at 11 oclock last night.
Her sister, Alice Hicks, 16, asleep in the next room, suffered shock at her sisters injury.
Major and Mrs. Babbitt and their child, were asleep in an adjoining bedroom at the front of the house. They were unhurt.
The wreck halted a short swift chase along Wake street, where Rumsower, driving his sixth stol-

SANTA FE SPRINGS (UP)—A series of explosions and fire today ripped through the Rothchild Oil Refinery here.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office said one man was believed missing and another injured but company officials said all workers had been accounted for.
Fire dispatchers said tanks burst into flames after the first of three explosions rocked the plant. Deputies on the scene said four of the large gasoline storage units wee ablaze.
Covers Big Area
WASHINGTON (UP) — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy asked Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens today to join him in urging President Eisenhower to lift the secrecy order which halted the Army-McCarthy hearings at least until next Monday.
Simultaneously Acting Chairman Karl E. Mundt (R-SD) of the Senate Investigating Subcommittee said he would meet with Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr., to begin efforts to get the President to revoke or modify the order.
The subcommittee recessed its televised public hearings until next Monday after Mr. Elsenhower ordered Army Counselor John G. Adams and other witnesses not to talk about conversations strictly within the executive branch of the government.
Order Bars Testimony
The President's prohibition particularly barred testimony about a Jan. 21 meeting in Brownell's office when the attorney general and top White House aides discussed the Army-McCarthy dispute.
As a result of the presidential order, the subcommittee—on a 4-3 party-line vote—overrode its Democratic members Monday and decided to hold up hearings while it sought a change in the order.
McCarthy protested that the order would prevent him from presenting all of his case to back up charges that the Army tried to block his investigation of Communist infiltration of secret radar laboratories at Fort Monmouth, N.J.
McCarthy Senate Speech
There was a possibility McCarthy would refer to the White House order and his fight with the Army in a scheduled Senate speech today on this country's foreign policy in Asia.
Dubbing the President's order an "Iron Curtain," McCarthy said it would prevent his showing the "motive" behind an Army report accusing him, subcommittee Counsel Roy M. Cohn and subcommittee Staff Director Francis P. Carr of using "improper means" in seeking special treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine, drafted former subcommittee aide.
He said he would be "forever precluded from finding who is responsible" for the Army report since he said, it apparently sprang from the Jan. 21 meeting.

Her sister, Alice Hicks, 16, asleep in the next room, suffered shock at her sisters injury.
Major and Mrs. Babbitt and their child, were asleep in an adjoining bedroom at the front of the house. They were unhurt.
The wreck halted a short swift chase along Wake street, where Rumsower, driving his sixth stolen vehicle without lights, found himself cornered in a dead-end street with two deputy sheriffs hotly pursuing him.
Posse Hunted
Deputies Douglas Watson, and R. D. Timboe, part of a posse of 40 men engaged in a man hunt through the area after Rumsower had been spotted there late yesterday afternoon, passed the fugitive car on Wake street and turned to give chase. They were close behind Rumsower when he drove through the wall of the Babbitt home.
Rumsower had escaped from the Juvenile Home Saturday evening with Paul Frank Veach, 15, of Santa Ana. They stole a pick-up truck near Tustin and abandoned it near El Toro to steal an automobile which they drove to Laguna Beach.
There they broke into a vacant house and took food, remaining overnight. Sunday afternoon they returned to Santa Ana where Veach went home. His father turned him (Continued on Page 7)
