ANAHEIM CITY CLEAR Anaheim Daily-Herald ANAHEIM SIXTEEN PAGES IN TWO PARTS ANAHEIM, CALIFO Guatemalan Rebel Army Bogged Down by Rain TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — The Guatemalan government claimed today its army had halted a rebel offensive but anti-Communist Col. Carlos Castillo Armas said rain had bogged down the advance of his machete-wielding troops. Castillo Armas said at his advance headquarters at Esguipulis, about 10 miles inside Guatemala, that he had not lost a man since the war started last Friday although several were injured. The National Federation of Farm Workers said in Guatemala City, however, that farmers had captured and killed a parachutist at Amatitlan, 14 miles southwest of Guatemala City on the railroad linking the capital to its rebel-isolated port of Puerto Barrios. Castillo Armas said his offensive also had been slow because his troops did not want to kill innocent citizens of the Red-influenced government of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman.

LANDREY LONDON (UP)—Prime Minister Winston Churchill canceled an emergency cabinet meeting today to confer instead with Australia's minister of external affairs, almost at the moment of his departure for the United States and urgent talks with President Eisenhower. Churchill called the third extraordinary Cabinet session in three days a few hours before he and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden were due to depart for the United States. A short time later, it was canceled to afford a meeting with Australia's R. G. Casey. Informed sources said Churchill and Casey would go over Southeast Asia problems carefully before the 79-year-old Prime Minister's departure. Australia and New Zealand are caught in the middle of the British-American differences over timing of a Southeast Asia defensealliance. Both countries, members of the British Commonwealth, backed Britain's patient negotiating tactics at Geneva, and it was unlikely they would go along with an alliance until Britain gives the word. The British statesmen admittedly have a "tough" job ahead of them. But Churchill was expected to present his own peace plan for Indochina and try to convince Mr. Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles to go slow on a Southeast Asia defense alliance. They are scheduled to arrive in Washington at 8 a.m. EDT Friday. The 79-year-old Churchill's primary mission was to try to patch up differences in the Anglo-American alliance, which he has done so much to weld since World War II.

Physicians at the hospital told police early today that it required a number of stitches to close wounds on the head of the victim, allegedly caused by a beer bottle swung by one of three men of a party of six who had given Esquaire a ride in their car. The victim told Anaheim officers that he was picked up by the men at Olive and Center streets and transported to Anaheim-Olive Rd. and Placentia Ave., where the car paused to let him out. Three of the passengers alighted and began the attack which sent Esquaire to the hospital. He told officers that the men, all Spanish-Americans, were wearing bright red jackets, on the backs of which were lettered the words, "Corona Raiders." Also a passenger in the car was George M. McKay, 25, who gave his address as the Corona Naval Hospital. McKay told police he was picked up by the men at Five Points. When the attack began, McKay ran for aid. A passing motorist, seeing Esquaire standing beside the highway covered with blood, reported the incident to Anaheim police who immediately checked the area.

Grand Jury Indicts Virginia Hill For Evading $80,180 Income Taxes LOS ANGELES (UP)—Virginia Hill, former international playgirl and gangster associate, was charged in a federal Grand Jury indictment today with evading $80,180.02 in income taxes. The jury indicted Miss Hill yesterday, charging she reported earnings far below her actual income in the years of 1944 to 1947, and Judge Ben Harrison issued a bench warrant for her arrest, with bail set at $10,000. Miss Hill, in whose Beverly Hills, Calif., home gangster Benjamin (Bugsie) Siegal was murdered in 1947, now is married to ski instructor Johann (Hans) Hauser and is residing in Europe. U. S. Attorney Laughlin Waters said Miss Hill is beyond jurisdiction because the law does not provide for extradition in income tax evasion cases. Miss Hill appeared on a nationwide television inquiry conducted by the Kefauver committee in New York, testifying the large sums of money in her possession were reaped through years of fortuitous betting on the horses. After appearing on the televised probe, she retired from the spotlight to marry Hauser, Austrian-born ski instructor she met at Sun Valley, Idaho in 1950. Hauser left the United States for Chile in 1951 while deportation proceedings against him were pending, taking their seven-month-old son, Peter, with him. Normna Neukom, assistant U.S. attorney who presented the case to the Granl Jury, said Miss Hill evaded federal income taxes from 1944 through 1947. He said her income in 1944 was $37,680, while she reported $14,500; in 1945 she made $34,541 and reported $15,500; in 1946 her income was $78,079 and she reported $23,-370; and in 1947 she had an income of $45,415 and reported $15,500.

EMOVED FROM OFFICE IN XXI NO. 255 Doctors Reaffirm Opposition to 'Fee Splitting' By ROBERT D. FUNK United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—The American Medical Association today reaffirmed its opposition to unethical "fee splitting" by doctors who attempt to bilk patients by lumping several bills into one. But the AMA's policy making House of Delegates revised its stand on the controversial issue by approving two instances in which such a practice would be allowed. The house adopted a Judicial Council report endorsing the practice of a doctor filing one comprehensive bill to insurance companies, and also said "joint" or "combined" bills could be presented when the patient specified. Judge Grants Stay as Attorney Files Appeal *SANTA ANA (OCNS)—A reluctant and sympathetic Superior Court Judge Robert Gardner today denied Anaheim City Clerk Charles E. Griffith's move for a new trial and ordered his removal from office. On a motion by Defense Attorney George Tobias, however, Gardner ordered a stay of execution until 9:30 am; July 1 to give the defense time to consider an appeal. Tobias filed an informal appeal before Judgment was passed. Gardner pointed out that he thought the veteran Anaheim City Official had received a fair and just trial. The slender, gray haired clerk bowed his head when he heard the decision. "I'm sympathetic with Mr. Griffith. If I had been called to testify I would have pointed out his integrity. Certainly the long list of fine people who testified in his behalf is a fine tribute. "The jury had no choice under the law as it stands, but to find Mr. Griffith guilty of wilful misconduct of office. I have to come to the same conclusion. "At least 12 of 19 Grand Jurors took a dim view of his handling of the absentee ballots. A jury of 12 took the same view. I agree with prosecution Attorney Williams that the protection of the ballot box is one of the most important duties given our public officials. "If we start liberalizing election laws under the guise of interpretation then we are in trouble." But the AMA's policy making House of Delegates revised its stand on the controversial issue by approving two instances in which such a practice would be allowed. The house adopted a Judicial Council report endorsing the practice of a doctor filing one comprehensive bill to insurance companies, and also said "joint" or "combined" bills could be presented when the patient specifically asks for them. In the latter case, the house ruled that individual charges must be itemized. Separate Statements However, the AMA re-emphasized that in all other cases when two or more doctors "actually and in person render service to one patient they should render separate bills." The delegates made their ruling after receiving a revised report from a reference committee which asked the house to "resolve that it firmly oppose fee splitting, rebating or payment of commission in any guise whatsoever, and that it further opposes any mechanism that encourages this practice." The ticklish subject came up Wednesday for the first time at the AMA's 103rd annual convention and touched off a heated but inconclusive debate. The house then ordered a committee to reconsider the matter overnight. The resolution that sparked the debate would in effect make it easier for a patient to pay his bills. Under present medical practice a family doctor may refer a case to a surgeon for an operation. The patient then has to pay three bills—family doctor, surgeon and anesthetist. Dr. George Braunlich of Davenport, Iowa, urged the AMA to let one bill be sent in such cases. He said the patient wants to know his total expense in one bill. "Too often the patient is broke before he gets the last bill," Dr. Braunlich said. FIRST TO SIGN—Miss Jean Reynolds, 18, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Reynolds, 127 West Valencia St., was the first girl to register at the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce for the "Miss Anaheim" queen contest to be decided July 1 in the Anaheim high school auditorium. All contestants must register at the chamber office, 136 North Los Angeles St. prior to noon, June 29. All girls must be between ages of 16 and 25 and be unmarried. Miss Reynolds, a contestant in last year's San Bernardino Orange Show queen contest, was football queen of San Bernardino high school and was a prominent majorette at the school. She plans to attend Fullerton Junior College next year as a secretarial major. The local contest to choose a "Miss Anaheim" is under the direction of Wayne Andrade of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, co-sponsors of the contest with the Senior Chamber. A handsome series of awards will be given to the girl chosen as queen through courtesy of Anaheim merchants. (Bulletin photo) Trustees Award Salary Increases To City School District Employes Virtually all employees of the Anaheim City School district were given increases in salaries last night as the Board of Trustees met and approved a $1,150,246 budget for the next school year. The budget conduct of office. I have to come to the same conclusion. "At least 12 of 19 Grand Jurors took a dim view of his handling of the absentee ballots. A jury of 12 took the same view. I agree with prosecution Attorney Williams that the protection of the ballot box is one of the most important duties given our public officials. "If we start liberalizing election laws under the guise of interpretation then we are in trouble." Gardner said he though the jury had been correctly instructed. He explained in his estimation, Williams had handled his case with great sympathy and in a most fair way. At no time, the judge indicated, did Williams object to Griffith's testimony. There was no appeal to passion, he said. Tobias had argued for more than an hour for the new trial. He dwelled on the issue that the jury had been misled and instructed in a wrong manner. He also asserted "The most that can be said against Mr. Griffith is that he made an honest error in judgment—a technical error." He declared the word "shall" as is contained in the election law is not mandatory, but a matter of judgment. Williams said it is not excuse when a man hasn't been specifically told to do a certain thing in public office. If he is an expert he is expected to do the job in conformance of the law. Griffith, Anaheim City Clerk for more than 20 years, was found to have violated the election laws by sending absentee ballots to persons who had not requested them as required by law in the Ball Rd. No. 2 annexation last summer. Annexation was defeated in regular balloting but absentee votes passed it. Election later was declared lost. School Bond Issue Passes by 21 Votes Anaheim's Elementary School district bond election passed by a slim 21 votes, trustees determined last night after canvassing the ballots of the June 16 election. Eight absentee ballots were counted, tallying three 'yes' votes and five 'no' votes. Total vote in the election, in which only about one-sixth of the eligible voters cast their ballots, was 2077 with 1405 for the $1,600. Trustees Award Salary Increases To City School District Employes Virtually all employees of the Anaheim City School district were given increases in salaries last night as the Board of Trustees met and approved a $1,180,246 budget for the next school year. The budget will include a $100,000 reserve. Teachers had their increment raised from $100 to $120 bringing small raises to those teachers low on the salary schedule and more substantial ones to those who have been with the district the longest time. Nurses, who are included in the teachers salary schedule, received an extra $120 per year for the use of their automobiles. All non-certificated employees — with the exception of the clerk typists hired for the individual schools — received a $25 per month increase and those who were working more than a 40-hour week (Continued on page 3) County Planners Okay Southwest City Tract SANTA ANA — (OCNS) — Tentative maps of a proposed Anaheim subdivision was approved by the County Planning Commission yesterday afternoon.

Nation’s Video Audience to Watch New Type Heart Operation Tonight SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — The nation's television audience tonight will see a 5-year-old girl saved from an early death by a radical new heart operation and the "loan" of her father's lungs. The program will be beamed coast-to-coast from the American Medical Association convention here over the NBC TV network beginning at 10 p.m. EDT. It will be the first television report of a new and revolutionary heart operation in which little Pamela Schmidt, of Minneapolis, Minn., "borrowed" the lungs of her father so she could undergo successful surgery. The operation, with a running commentary by the participating doctors, will be shown on the program "March of Medicine" sponsored and produced by the Smith, Kline & French Laboratories of Philadelphia. Pamela was born with a condition known as Ventricular Septal Defect. In plain words, she had a hole the size of a half dollar inside her heart, and as a result faced an early death or at best life as an invalid. The radical operation was performed by a team of doctors from the University of Minnesota, including Drs. C. W. Lillehel, Herbert Worden and Morely Cohen. During the operation, Pamela's heart was idled and her lungs put out of action while surgeons made the repairs on the heart. Her blood was "piped" via plastic tubes to her father's circulatory system and his lungs purified Pamela's blood and an ordinary pump situated between the two operating tables pumped the oxygenated blood back to the little girl. Previous "March of Medicine" programs have featured a stomach operation, a caesarean delivery of a baby boy, and the famed operation which separated the Brodie siamese twins.
