Way Cleared for County Clinics Set Up to Give Second Shots To 7366 First and Second Graders SANT AANA (OCNS)—Arrangements have been completed for the resumption of Orange County's anti-polio inoculation Monday morning, County Health Officer Dr. E. L. Russell, said today. Vaccination clinics throughout the county will give second Salk shots to 7366 eligible first and second graders. Brea, Buena Park and Fullerton will be the sites for the clinics Monday. Draw Poker Law Passed by City Anabelm city Council passed on an ordinance at its regular meeting last night to make commercial draw poker illegal. The ordinance, which will become effective 60 days from the next regular meeting, does not ban private games, or draw poker played at parties where the only monies exchanged are in the actual wagers. Rather, it was described in the reading, it prohibits commercial gambling where a fee or charge is placed on playing the game, or, as in some cases, where special equipment is provided. Mayor Charles Pearson commented that although the ordinance may currently seem unnecessary, in an area under expansion as rapid as our own, "we're solving the problem before it can arise." To Head Staff Dr. Russell said Dr. John Thyssell of Santa Ana will head up a 22-physician staff in handling the clinics. Giving the doctors a hand will be 21 members of the Medical Association Auxiliary and Orange County Nurses Association. Mrs. Ardath Wightman of Laguna Beach, auxiliary committee chairman, and Mrs. Lena Kennedy, representing the nurses group were in charge of recruitment from their respective organizations. PTA volunteers were rounded up by Mrs. Ray Finley of Westminster, chairman. Five or six PTA workers will be delegated to each clinic. Dr. Russell explained that sec- 11 Killed In Merced Plane Crash MERCED, Calif. (UP)—A four-engined air tanker, loaded with 6000 pounds of jet fuel, crashed today a few minutes after taking off from Castle Air Force Base, killing all 11 crewmen. Air Force authorities said the plane, attached to the 93rd Wing, was on a routine refueling flight. The crash occurred about six miles north of the air base in a grain field near Cressey Bridge. An eyewitness of the crash, Wilma Nelson of Cressey, said the plane was quite low when an engine suddenly burst into flames. "It looked like the pilot was trying to make a forced landing in the grain stubble field. The plane exploded when it hit the ground and threw bodies all over the place." A nearby rancher, R. W. Stratton, said he reached the scene a few minutes later and found most of the bodies thrown out in front of the wrecked plane. Stratton said all the bodies "were burned to a crisp." "It appeared that two or three of the men had tried to parachute out. It looked like they were wrapped in partially opened chutes." A Cressey fireman, L. H. Moyer, said his crew found one of the plane's engines about a quarter of a mile from the rest of the wreckage. "The engine was on fire and it took quite a while to put it out. I think the engine dropped off before the plane hit the ground." Mrs. Ardath Wightman of Laguna Beach, auxiliary committee chairman, and Mrs. Lena Kennedy, representing the nurses group were in charge of recruitment from their respective organizations. PTA volunteers were rounded up by Mrs. Ray Finley of Westminster, chairman, Five or six PTA workers will be delegated to each clinic. Dr. Russell explained that second shots will be administered to first and second graders who have moved into the county since taking their initial vaccination. The child will be required to submit a record he has been given the first shot, according to Rusell. No first shots will be given next week. The doctor said parental requests for vaccination which previously have been filed will be honored next week. Also the door is open for new filings by parents up to and on the day of the clinics.

TURNS TO PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE Bible-Quoting Grandmother Wins Largest TV Jackpot By Taking $32,000 and Refusing $64,000 Question By H. D. QUIGG United Press Staff Correspondent NEW ORK (UP)—Mrs. Catherine E. Kreitzer turned to prayer for guidance on whether to keep $32,000 won answering Bible questions on a television quiz, or risk losing it in trying to double it on a final question. "I prayed for guidance twice, a few days ago," she said, "and the answer seemed to me be — take the $32,000 and quit." Tuesday night she did just that. Early today she drove with her husband, James, 55, a carpenter, to their farm home in Possum Hollow, near Harrisburg, Pa. James Kreitzer had the check for $32,000 in his inside coat pocket, and it will be deposited in the Lemoyne, Pa., Trust Co. Mrs. Kreitzer, 54, a grandmother who became nationally famous in answering questions about the Bible on the CBS show "The $64,000 question," had won the largest cash prize in radio-television history, according to the network. What will she do with the money? "Put it away against the time my husband and I aren't able to work," she said. "We aren't going out on any wild spending spree. We've never lived that way and we don't intend to start now." Mrs. Kreitzer, who is something of a Pennsylvania pixie in her own way, stood the television audience on its ear for about three seconds when she made it appear she would plunge for the $64,000. She had said before the program that she was having "a lotta fun." When Master of Ceremonies Hal March asked her if she had made up her mind whether to go for $64,000, she said, "I have, sir." He asked the decision. Mrs. Kreitzer looked pleased. People had been pestering her by phone for a week, from as far as Los Angles (she even got mail from Formosa), about what she was going to do. Now it was her turn to drag out her answer. She rocked back on her heels. "Weell," she said, "when I went on the show I was very confident." She said she had been confident on the $8,000 question; the $16,000 question, the $32,000 question—and she detailed the answers she had given—and then she said: "And I'm a little confident that I can answer the $64,000 question." "WOW!" yelled the studio ence, and broke into wild plause. Mrs. Kreitzer let them fi f and then added: "But I am an angling this confidence with a station, from Ephesians 4:5, which is 'Let your moderation be known unto all men.'" "So ... I'm going to let moderation be known and accept the $32,000." The whole speech was carried with a showman's timing. Edilvan lost no time in calling after the show to appear on his variety show next Sunday. She thought she'd accept. Mrs. Kreitzer in declining to further make a Bible error. Quotation was from Philippians not Ephesians. She corrected herself backstage after the show. When reporters asked when he decided to take $32,000, sighed and said: "I'll tell you, I had my m made up a couple of days fellows." She said she expected pay about $12,000 in federal tax. According to accountants that he be about right for a joint re with her husband. County to Resume Anti-Po Anaheim B EST. 1923 Orange County Plain Dealer XTEEN PAGES FIVE CENTS MRS.

Optimistic police officials said the prints, found on a cedar chest, Donna's crib and the frame window through which the killer escaped, provide the first "big break" in the case. They said the prints probably will give positive identification of the murderer. Meanwhile, the FBI issued a nationwide arrest order for the sex degenerate who snatched Donna from her crib while her parents watched television Sunday night and left her ravaged body at the edge of a muddy cornfield near South Sloux City, Neb., where it was found late Monday.

Link Big-Spending Ex-Cons to Slaying LAS VEGAS (UP)—Philadelphia police headed for Omaha, Neb., and this gambling resort today to question two big spending exconvicts as possible suspects in the $150,000 robbery-slaying of Mrs. Lulubel Rossman, 76, in Philadelphia last July 3. Local police said Philadelphia officers had filed homicide and robbery charges against the exconvicts, Raymond Wilson, 33, Tulsa, Okla., and James Ellsworth, 36, Omaha, Neb., who were picked up here several days ago with $87,000 in cash. Wilson and Ellsworth, who had been released because police failed to produce evidence that the money did not belong to them, were siezed again on Philadelphia warrants. Las Vegas police said they understood Wilson and Ellsworth were linked to the Rossman slaying because serial numbers on their money approximated serial numbers of $100 bills found in the slain widow's safety deposit box. The two men were taken into custody here as they were ex-changing crisp, new $100 bills for chips and other currency to gamble at casino dice tables. Both Wilson and Ellsworth have received orders from the Treasury Department to prove whether taxes had been paid on the $87,000.

President Eisenhower selected Marion B. Folsom, undersecretary of Treasury, to be her successor. Mr. Eisenhower accepted Mrs. Hobby's resignation in an extraordinary public ceremony at the White House before a crowded room of reporters and photographers. As Mrs. Hobby stood by, the President paraphrased Secretary of Treasury George M. Humphrey and bade an admittedly sad farewell to Mrs. Hobby by dubbing her "the best man in the Cabinet." Folsom, 61, former executive in the Eastman Kodak Co. at Rochester, N.Y., will be formally nominated later in the day. Praise From Ike Mrs. Hobby's departure from the Cabinet has been expected for some time. The administration has sought to depress the idea, voiced particularly in Democratic circles, that her departure would be due to her handling of the Salk polio vaccine program. Mr. Eisenhower has praised her publicly for a "magnificent" job in handling the vaccine program. He said she is being forced to leave government service because of the illness of her husband, W. P. Hobby of Houston, Tx., former governor of Texas.

WANT 'EM OR NOT! Supervisors Seek Meet With Knight On Adding New Municipal Judges SANTA ANA (OCNS)—Faced with the prospect of taking on two new Municipal Court judges whether they want them or not, the County Board of Supervisors today acted to set up a policy meeting with Gov. Goodwin Knight. Board Chairman Willis Warner and County Counsel Joel Ogle were authorized to arrange a meeting with the Governor, if possible, while he is in the Southland. Supervisor C. M. (Si) Feathery first suggested a resolution be drafted for the governor, seeking to stave off the appointment of new judges for the Anaheim-Fullerton and Santa Ana-Orange courts. Feathery admitted: "We can't hold off the appointments for ever. However, due to the fact the bill authorizing the judges was done without our knowledge or consent he should give a listen to our plea." Featherly explained that "We haven't given this thing nearly enough study. If the appointments could be withheld until we are ready it would be better for all concerned." The supervisors pointed out that the idea for one county-wide judicial district is one plan under study. Under the law the Governor may make the appointments 90 days after the legislative action is taken. Supervisors were taken by surprise last month when the Governor approved additional judges for the two County Municipal courts. Neither Judge Ronald Tiday of the Anaheim-Fulerton Court nor Judge Howard Cameron of the Santa Ana Orange Court had specifically requested another benchman. They reportedly were as amazed as were the supervisors when the Sacramento announcement came through.
