Seek 'Mystery Girl' in Mail-Order Heir Death CHICAGO — A lipstick smeared facial tissue raised speculation today that a "mystery girl" may have run from the room as mail order heir Montgomery Ward Thorne lay dying. The tissue was found on a dresser in the $75-a-month studio apartment where young Thorne died under mysterious circumstances last Saturday. The revelation led to speculation that Thorne may have had a tryst with a young woman who was possibly the last person to see him alive. Meanwhile, Thorne's mother and fiance opened a legal battle over his $2,300,000 fortune. The weapons in the court fight were two wills filed within an hour of each other in Probate Court yesterday. One, drafted only 10 days before the young heir's death, left half his legacy to his pretty blonde fiancée Maureen Ragen, 18. The will left a quarter share to Miss Ragen's mother, an eighth to his own mother and an eighth to an aunt. The other will, signed by Thorne when he was 18 years old, gave his entire estate to his socialite mother, Mrs. Gordon Thorne. Attorneys for the mother said they would contest the changed will. They would charge "undue influence" and perhaps other factors, they said. Thorne's lawyer, Jay Stough, has said the young heir feared he wouldn't reach his 21st birthday when he ordered his will changed. Thorne asked that a thorough investigation be launched if he died, the lawyer said. An autopsy has failed to reveal the cause of Thorne's death. There's No Substitute for Paid Circulation. Planners Set Hearing On Atwood Hog Ranch SANTA ANA, (OCNS) — Whether a four-acre hog ranch will be established in the east Atwood area will be determined largely at a public hearing set for 3 p.m. July 24. County Planning Commission yesterday set the hearing. Boisseranc Manassero seeks to set up the ranch on a four-acre parcel about 3000 feet south of Placentia Yorba boulevard and approximately 1 and ½ miles east of Atwood.

Center Street--Anaheim--KE. 5-2931 ALSO STORES IN— 7th & American—Long Beach 214 W, Anaheim—Wilmington OPEN EVENINGS—MONDAY and FRIDAY Physicians Urged To Give More Care To Unwed Mothers SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — Dr. Goodrich C. Schauffler of Portland. Ore., urged physicians today to go "beyond the ordinary call" in caring for the increasing number of unwed mothers. "I have seen too many impressively happy endings to believe that these matters cannot be decently handled—many of them by the physician," he said. In a report to the American Medical Association, Schauffler said physicians can sow the seeds of a "certain mental and spiritual rehabilitation" for unwed mothers. He urged doctors to advise unwed mothers against abortions, pregnancy, he said, may turn out to be a "maturing experience—often a distinct psychological advantage as compared to an abortion." He said the number of unwed mothers rose from 88,000 cases in 1938 to 142,000 in 1950. Most of the unwed mothers are under the age of 20, and a much higher percentage than formerly are among girls of comparatively privileged groups, such as students and women with good jobs. He said the growing number of illegitimate births stems from a greatly increased awareness of sex among young people, "simulated and maintained by sex hysteria which is a calculated instrument of modern journalism and so-called entertainment trends such as movies, radio, television, theater." He also blamed poor home influences, liquor, narcotics, automobiles, auto courts and ganga influences for tending to stimulate INSPECT MODEL HOME OF new subdivision built to be built near the co-Seen left, are Thomas Ray Van Wagoner and three bedroom homes in DA Predicts Spreck Will Soon Be in Jail SANTA ANA, (OCNS)—Attorney James Davis pled today that sugar heir Ad Spreckles, 11, will "proba behind bars at the Orange jail within the next 30 day."

Santa Ana Family Stricken With Polio SANTA ANA (OCNS)—Polio is venting its wrath on the Harvey Roughley family. On June 15, young Richard Roughley died from the deadly disease. Now three more members of the Roughley household have been stricken by the dread enemy of mankind. All are under treatment in the family home, 2118 Kilson Dr., Santa Ana. Diane, 11; Tom, 16; and Robert, 10, have contracted non-paralytic polio. Dr. Edward L. Russell, Orange County Health Officer, said their cases aren't serious. Dr. Russell said the diagnosis was made first-hand by Orange County health officers. Thirty-six cases of polio have been reported in the county this year. Two have been fatal. He said the growing number of illegitimate birth stems from a greatly increased awareness of sex among young people, "simulated and maintained by sex hysteria which is a calculated instrument of modern journalism and so-called entertainment trends such as movies, radio, television, theater." He also blamed poor home influences, liquor, narcotics, automobiles, auto courts and ganga influences for tending to stimulate sexual curiosity. In addition, he said the availability of sex information "too often defeats its own purpose." Young people nowadays are exposed to teachings such as those of Freud and Jung, and to research material such as that of Kinsey, without the cooperation of a mature intelligence. "The result is an emotional shambles which fosters many of the deviations and denatured biological trends which are common among our young folks." IN A RUT ORONO. Me.

It is proposed the planes stop instead at Ontario. The two top Nevada officials will appear at the airline's board of directors meetings at the Balboa Bay Club—following Bonanza's established policy of holding board meetings in the various cities along its system. Governor Charles H. Russell of Nevada, and Rex Bell, Republican Lt. Governor nominee, are the two officials.
