Flaming Crash on Freeway Claims Life of Fourth Man By DAVE NELSON Adolph B. Kinkelaar, of Norwalk, was arraigned this morning in Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court on three counts of felony manslaughter shortly after Eugene Robert Megill, 30; 12351 Bluebell, Anaheim, died from first, second, and third degree burns which covered his entire body after being involved in a collision with a gasoline tank truck on the Santa Ana Freeway near Loara St. Seven vehicles were involved in the wreck. According to police, the tragic accident which claimed four lives in the resultant fiery inferno, came about as the result of Kinkelaar making an unsafe lane change in front of the tank truck, causing it to first strike Kinkelaar's car and then swerve out of control and crash through the chain link fence on the divider. A northbound Cadillac, carrying four men, smashed into the flaming truck, causing the immediate deaths of driver Franklin N. O. Carlson, 25, 11551 Spinnaker, Garden Grove, and passengers Walter B. Fulmer, 30, 14411 Ward St., Garden Grove, and Russell W. Fisher, 44, 210 Via-Dijon, Newport Beach. Passenger Megill was thrown clear of the flaming wreckage, his body afire, and was aided by Sterling Ditchey, 36, 352 N. Batavia, Orange, and Robert F. Henderson, 45, 18916 Mesa Orange. All three men were subsequently hospitalized, and hospital reports indicate that the Orange men are "doing fine" after treatment for burns received in the heroic rescue attempts.

Vermont St. Police were alerted to the thefts when Works Manager Everett Tibbits reported he had received an anonymous tip that parts and vacuum cleaners were disappearing from the plant. The arrest of ex-convict Alex Felix, Norwalk, who was also arrested by Anaheim police in 1957 on a charge of petty theft for which he served 10 days, came about after police placed a continual stakeout in an orange grove adjoining the plant and which faced toward the trash disposal area.

After Felix left, the trash barrel was discovered completely empty. Later that night police arrested Felix at his Norwalk home, discovering there a vacuum cleaner without serial number, indicating that it had not been sold by the company. Felix was subsequently booked. A second arrest on the same charge makes the offense a felony. Felix served three years previous time in San Quentin on a narcotics charge.

Police were working on the theory that the thieves were removing parts from the plant at the close of the day shift hiding them in trash barrels, and returning at night to pick up the loot. It was not until April 10 at 6 p.m. that the stakeout paid off, however. On that date the suspect was seen to drive up to the trash barrels, leave his car, and remove something from the barrels which he placed in his trunk. Due to the car blocking their view, they could not observe just what was removed but they had knowledge from an Liz Taylor Undergoes Operation of Throat HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Actress Elizabeth Taylor, 27, was recuperating today at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital where she underwent a 90-minute throat operation.

NEWS OF THE WORLD IN BRIEF CLAIM RUSS JETS 'HARASSED' U.S. PLANES BERLIN (UPI)—Soviet jet fighters used "dangerous harassing tactics" against the turboprop C130 freighter which flew here at 25,000 feet Wednesday in defiance of Russian altitude limitations, American sources said today. Contradicting earlier reports that two Red planes merely "shadowed" the C130 at a distance of about 600 feet, the sources said they "harassed it in flagrant violation of flight safety regulations."

AIRLINER H BY CUBA F Still Hope to Recover Moon’s Space Capsule VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. (UPI) — The United States held out a faint hope today of recovering Discoverer II’s space capsule which may have fallen near Russian polar territory. Siberia and several Russian Islands border the vast area where the 160-pound capsule was believed to have landed. For this reason the Air Force said it would refuse to release exact locations where the plunging capsule was reported sighted. A report from Oslo that the capsule was seen dropping at the end of a parachute on Norway's Spitzbergen Islands was disregarded by an Air Force spokesman. County Reliance On Defense Work Said Dangerous By Orange County News Service A dangerous reliance upon defense contracts to support Orange County industry has been noted by the Stanford Research Institute in its preliminary report of its study of this county. The institute has found that about 35 per cent of the industrial production is based upon government spending. Forty per cent is considered the "breaking point." Above that figure, an economy fluctuates in almost direct proportion to the nation's defense activity, according to the institute's preliminary report. A verbal report of the initial findings was given Wednesday to county supervisors by Bill Lund, project coordinator for the institute. The county has hired Stanford to make a study of the county's population and economic trends over the next 20-year period. The final report is to be submitted about June 1. Lund told supervisors that the percentage of county industry relying upon defense contracts will probably decrease as Orange County manufacturers expand their production of paper products, non-defense electronic devices, and metal products.

(UPI) — The United States held out a faint hope today of recovering Discoverer II's space capsule which may have fallen near Russian polar territory. Siberia and several Russian Islands border the vast area where the 160-pound capsule was believed to have landed. For this reason the Air Force said it would refuse to release exact locations where the plunging capsule was reported sighted. A report from Oslo that the capsule was seen dropping at the end of a parachute on Norway's Spitzbergen islands was disregarded by an Air Force spokesman. "It's too far off base," he said. The capsule contained a wealth of pioneer space data collected during its one-day flight within the still-orbiting Discoverer II satellite. The capsule was equipped with a radio to send out signals to lead searchers to it. So far the Air Force has refused to even comment on whether it has received any such signals, although officials said flatly that no search missions have been dispatched. "Our own aircraft operating on other missions near the areas of possible return have been alerted to keep an eye open for the capsule," said one Air Force spokesman. "Friendly countries also have been asked to be on the alert." The Air Force refused to reveal the radio beacon's frequency within the capsule. The Advanced Research Projects Agency announced Wednesday that the capsule was automatically ejected Tuesday on the 17th orbit of Discoverer II around the earth's poles. The satellite was blasted into the heavens here on Monday and is expected to continue circling the globe for about 30 days. Citizen Group Calls for New City Police Building Citizen's committee reports show that police and fire department facilities are inadequate for a city the size of Anaheim and that a new City Hall is also needed by Anaheim. The various committee reports also indicate that all remodeling of the present City Hall should be of an interim nature only. Another report showed that Anaheim needed a convention center and a Civic Auditorium. From the Citizen's Committee on Public Safety, the report on the police department indicates that after inspection of existing facilities, "... lengthy discussions with the Chief of Police, and visits to two neighboring cities and their police stations," that the "... present Police Station is hopelessly inadequate and sub-standard. The building would not be suitable for a backward community of one-half of Anaheim's population." To back up their report the committee goes on to say that the Arcadia Police Station has 15,200 square feet in a new, modern building which serves a population of 36,000 people, while that of Alhambra has 18,000 square feet to serve a population of 56,400 and employs a complement of 92 people. In contrast, Anaheim's department carries 119 people 20 more personnel content for July 1. "The jail reminds one dark ages," the report says.

Huge Population Seen At present, the electronic-aircraft industry is the major employer, according to Lund's preliminary findings. Lund said that Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce was too conservative in its recent forecast that Orange County's population will increase to about 1,900,000 in the year 1980. The institute believes that the total in 1980 will be well over 2,000,000. The present population is about 700,000. Lund further stated that the institute's estimates of existing population will probably show that there is a higher percentage of the county's population living within incorporated areas than county officials realize. The exact percentage will be known after the 1960 census by the federal government. Recent inadequate retail outlets for apparel, furniture, and heavy durable goods such as stoves and refrigerators was noted by the institute. Lund said until a few years ago, Orange County residents had to shop in Los Angeles or Long Beach to find a wide range of quality, style, and sizes in many lines of merchandise. He pointed out that development of modern shopping centers, such as Fashion Square, has curtailed most of the "retail leakage" to points outside the county. Ike to Name New Secretary Soon By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) — President Eisenhower today formally accepted the resignation of John Foster Dulles as secretary of state and conferred by telephone with the cancer-stricken Cabinet officer on the selection of his successor. The White House said a new secretary would be named "within a few days." Eisenhower, in accepting Dulles' decision to quit with "deepest personal regret," simultaneously named the alling secretary "as a consultant to me and the State Department in international affairs." The chief executive conferred Wednesday night and again this morning by telephone with Dulles who is battling recurrent cancer at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington. Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said the President and the secretary discussed the selection of a successor and the manner in which Dulles, although grievously ill, will continue to serve Eisenhower as an elder statesman and consultant on foreign affairs. The President, according to Hagerty, also conferred by telephone Wednesday with Acting Secretary Christian A. Herter, widely accepted in administration circles as the man most likely to succeed Dulles. Hagerty said their conversation dealt with "State Department matters" and did not bear on the vacancy caused by Dulles' resignation. The White House also reported today that public expression of regret over the illness of Dulles and his decision to leave was pouring into the President's offices in Washington and here in Augusta. Hagerty called it "a very large flood of messages" running into the thousands. The press secretary said he expected the President to remain here until next Monday. Tentatively, the President was expected back in Washington Monday afternoon. INDEX Amusements ... C-6 Classified ... C-7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Comics ... C-5 County ... C-1, 3 Dear Abby ... A-8 Editorial ...

(UPI) — Four Cuban men — three of them claiming to have escaped from rebel firing squads — hijacked a Cuban airliner at gunpoint today and forced the pilot to land in Miami. The Aerovias Q-C46 with 19 passengers, four of them Americans, was en route To Land in U.S. MIAMI, Fla. (UPI) — Four Cuban men — three of them claiming to have escaped from rebel firing squads — hijacked a Cuban airliner at gunpoint today and forced the pilot to land in Miami. The Aerovias Q-C46 with 19 passengers, four of them Americans, was en route from Havana to the Isle of Pines, about 50 miles south of the Cuban mainland. None of the passengers was harmed. The four Americans aboard were Peter Kissel and his wife, Phyllis, Far Hills, N.J., who said they were on a vacation-fishing trip; Sally Rowley, New York City and Rudy Appel, an exporter from New York City. Dr. Domingo Acosta, a Havana lawyer and one of the passengers, said the four men jumped out of their seats and pulled pistols some 10 minutes after the twin-engine plane left the airport at Havana. "Angease who moves we will kill him," Acosta quoted the men as saying. The armed men told the passengers to remain quiet in the seats and then two of them walked into the pilot's compartment. Candelario Delgado 40, the pilot, and co-pilot Falso Valdes, said the men held pistols at their heads and jerked off their radio earphones. The armed men ordered the pilot to fly to the Dominican Republic, but Delgado protested he did not have enough fuel for the trip. The hijackers then ordered the plane flown to Miami. As soon as the airliner landed, police swarmed around it and refused to let anyone off. Later the passengers, including 15 Cuban nationals, were impounded in the abandoned customs headquarters of the airport. A half dozen FBI and immigration agents questioned the pilot and the four hijackers. The hijackers were identified as Lenadro Serrate, 53, a former corporal in SIMS, the Batista secret police, and three brothers, Sgt. Alfredo Mason y Sanchez, 36, Rolando, 27, and Jesus, 25. Rubber Industry Walkout Spreads AKRON, Ohio (UPI) — Up to 32,000 employees walked off their jobs today at Goodrich and Firestone plants in nine states to join 27,000 United Rubber Workers members already on strike at U.S. Rubber Co. plants in 11 states. The spreading walkout in the rubber industry over contract disputes brought to 59,000 the number of workers on strikes in 14 states. About 23,000 Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. workers, however, agreed to stay on the job at plants in 10 states when "progress" in negotiations was reported just before the Wednesday midnight strike deadline. Talks between URW and Goodyear representatives were to resume at Canton, Ohio, today. The URW had set the Wednesday midnight contract expiration as the deadline for Firestone, Goodrich and Goodyear to come to terms on pensions, insurance, severance pay and working conditions. The strike against U.S. Rubber began April 10. At Cleveland, where Firestone and Goodrich talks were held, a Firestone official said both sides reached a stalemate. U.S. Rubber plants are a Los Angeles and Santa Ana, Calif.; Chicago; Detroit; Mishawaka, Indianapolis and Washington, Ind.; Eau Claire, Wis.; Passaic and North Bergen N.J.; Naugatuck, Conn.; Chicopee Falls, Mass.; Philadelphia, and Woonsocket and Providence, R.I. Goodrich has 14,000 employed at plants in Akron and Marion, Ohio; Los Angeles; Clarksville, Tenn.; Oaks, Pa.; Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Riverside, N.J. Firestone has 18,000 at plants at Akron; Los Angeles; Noblesville and Newcastle, Ind.; Memphis, Tenn.; Fall River, Mass.; Des Moines Iowa and Pottsown. The report claims that a review of the "Proposed Capital Improvement Program" reveals that the needs of the future have not been anticipated in the proportionate allocation of funds. "The needs of the police department are in excess of the $375,000 allotted." For those reasons the committee recommended that the police building be given highest priority. "And the necessary money be allocated to this project from the first bond sale." Further work of the Public Safety Committee, in studying the Anaheim - Fire Department, has resulted in the following recommendations: that two new substations (five and six) plans for station four have already been drawn and the building is expected to be completed around September or October) be constructed immediately, and property be acquired for sub-stations seven and eight as needed. It was also recommended that new administrative offices adequate for future expansion be built, and a new fire alarm system be acquired.

'THOUSANDS' FIGHTING Anti-Red Revolt In Tibet Spreads NEW DELHI (UPI)—Nationalist Chinese intelligence sources reported today that the anti-Communist revolution in Tibet has spread to the border of Szechuan province in inland China. The sources said in Taipei that fresh intelligence reports from mainland China disclosed that "thousands of people" in Szechuan have taken out hidden arms and joined in guerrilla warfare against the Communists along the Kingsha (Gold Sand) River. Previous Nationalist Chinese reports said Tibetans residing in Sikang, Chinghai and Snklang on Tibet's border had joined the revolt. This was the first report that the fighting had spread inland. Reports reaching New Delhi from the Indian border town of Kalimpong said the Chinese Communists had launched a heavy surprise attack against Tibetan positions 150 miles southwest of Lhasa in their first penetration of that anti-Communist stronghold. The reports said the Tibetans were taken unawares but still held the fortress. The Communists attacked with modern guns and weapons and casualties are heavy on both sides the reports said. A traveler reaching Kalimpong from the battle area estimated 500 dead and wounded on each side. The Chinese also were using bombing planes against the rebellious patriots' lines of communications in southwest Tibet some 70 to 80 miles from the borders of Sikkim, Nepal and Bhutan, the reports said.
