Radio Aids Quick Prisoner Capture Radio Tuesday was quicker than William Shumaker's hasty strides Tuesday, resulting in the prisoner, also known as William Kerns, returning to jail where he indicated he would plead guilty and contemplated the ramparts of San Quentin as he looks into the future. Orange county's police radio system resulted in its first effective service when the prisoner, waiting trial in Judge Homer G. Ames' court, sneaked away. Subsequent broadcast sent officers scurrying to a section where the escaped prisoner was sighted. Deputy Sheriff Merle Dean saw the suspect emerge from an orange grove and captured him. In the meantime, the jury had been sent home. Judge Ames postponed the case pending notification of the suspect's attroney in Anaheim. His original charge was grand theft. St. Boniface School Celebrates Thursday Death Driver Will Face Murder Count Two Women Burned to Crisp When Trapped In Turned-over Auto at Dana Point District Attorney Sam B. Kaufman Tuesday announced his intention of filling murder charges against Al Brunner, known under the prize fight name of Al Brown, whose car collided with one driven by Max Devitt of Los Angeles at Dana Point Sunday, killing two, critically injuring a third, and injuring three more. Date of inquiry into the accident, in which two women were burned to death when trapped in an overturned, burning machine, depends entirely upon how soon injured persons recover sufficiently to testify, according to Coroner Earl R. Abbey. Brunner was seriously injured and was taken to the Orange county hospital. Mrs. Jennie Orinstein, 45, and her daughter, Beverly, 23, sister and niece of Devitt, were burned to death, while Mildred Beckman, 26, a Los Angeles school teacher, was in a serious condition at the Orange county hospital Wednesday. Harry Orinstein, husband of one victim, a small daughter, Sheila Mac, 7, and Devitt were injured, but will recover. According to information at the sheriff's office, Brunner and his two companions were returning from Tia Juana. The companions, Herman Tella, 18, and Bill Duggan, 19, both of Long Beach, pleaded guilty to intoxication Monday and sentenced by Justice John Nandell of San Juan Capistrano First Hearing Violation Persons Who Shift Penalties; Court Indications Point The first hearing on agreement will be held promptly, according to Southern California.

AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1934 TO REASON WHY" — By Albert T. Reid Huge Grapefruit Measures 2 Feet In Circumference One of the largest grapefruit seen in Anaheim this year was exhibited by Scott & Berden packing house this week. It measures 25 inches in circumference and weighs three pounds, 10 ounces. According to persons who have made a study of the specimen, it is a hybrid, with no value as food. Its coloring, however, is excellent, except that it "looks puffed in the face." The skin is believed to be several inches thick. The grapefruit was obtained from a ranch at Hemet where a number of similar hybrids have been grown. It was taken to the National Lead company store for shellacking as a means of preservation. City Councilmen Appreciate Work of CWA and PWA "City Dads" In Turn Patted on Back by Chamber of Commerce and Legion Auxiliary Members of the city council Tuesday evening by resolutions expressed their pleasure and appreciation of work ac First Hearings on Citrus Marketing Code Violations Scheduled Next Week in L. A. Persons Who Ship In Violation of Federal Law Face Severe Penalties; Courts Have Upheld Other Similar Laws, With Indications Pointing to Elimination of Unfair Competition The first hearing on a violation of the California-Arizona citrus marketing agreement will be held at Los Angeles next week, and others will follow promptly, according to E. L. Markell, field representative of the A.A.A. in Southern California. "Marketing agreements such as this one have often broken down in the past before they could accomplish their full purpose, because of the willingness of a small minority to abide by them, but the situation is somewhat different today with the government cooperating in the formation of these pacts and determined to see them enforced under the new federal law," said Mr. Markell. "In the past, a few growers and shippers would generally take advantage of a favorable marketing situation, developed as a result of the restricted shipments, and proceed to ship more than their share. This inevitably caused dissatisfaction among the other growers and shippers, and usually resulted in a complete break down of the agreement," he said. "There are some indications of a tendency on the part of a few shippers, and likewise growers of oranges and grapefruit, to take advantage of the present situation, and ship more than they are entitled to. Possibly shippers handling two or three per cent of the total orange and grapefruit shipments are not playing fair." "The California-Arizona marketing agreement is based on new federal law, which provides a means of forcing the small minority to abide by the will of the majority. Abundant opportunity Madame Modjeska Statue for Park When Artist Maler-Krieg's statue of Madame Helena Modjeska is placed at the Sycamore and Icemon street corner of the city park, the colorful and brilliant career of the famous Anaheim resident will be broadcast throughout the nation, in the opinion of Artist Critic Louis Danz, who conceived the scheme. Work is being done by PWA, and will cost the city but a minor sum, although estimates several years ago ran high as $8,000. Mr. Danz Friday received word that his proposal to erect the statue had been approved. He is serving on a committee of artists who designate and recommend projects for unemployed artists to build at federal cost. The statue is being made in Hollywood now and will be finished about the middle of May. Present plans call for an elaborate program here in celebration of its completion, with noted ar- President Clayes Host to Presidents Presidents and executive board mem- indications of a tendency on the part of a few shippers, and likewise growers of oranges and grapefruit, to take advantage of the present situation, and ship more than they are entitled to. Possibly shippers handling two or three per cent of the total orange and grapefruit shipments are not playing fair. "The California-Arizona marketing agreement is based on new federal law, which provides a means of forcing the small minority to abide by the will of the majority. Abundant opportunity has been afforded all shippers to adjust their business on the basis of the new marketing agreement. Those few who have elected not to do so, are breaking a federal law, and are incurring serious liability. The government helped to formulate this agreement, and has announced, in no uncertain terms, its determination to assist in its enforcement. The penalty for violation involves the suspension or revocation of a shipper's license to do business. A number of such penalties have already been exacted in connection with other agreements, demonstrating the fact that the courts will sustain this new and important emergency legislation. "Citrus growers are in a position to help or hinder the development of this marketing agreement program," continued Mr. Markell. "A few, through lack of understanding, or possibly for selfish reasons, have been interfering with the operation of the agreement. Some of them have caused dissatisfaction in few localities by turning their crops over to operators who have been violating the agreement. In some instances they may have obtained a little temporary advantage by this procedure, but it has been at the expense of all other growers who have been willing and anxious to help enforce the agreement. A few of the growers who have contributed to the violations have done so because of a wrong conception of their position under the agreement." No grower is deprived of his right to ship his full share of each week's output, regardless of whether he is affiliated with PWA, and will cost the city but a minor sum, although estimates several years ago range high as $8,000. Mr. Danz Friday received word that his proposal to erect the statue had been approved. He is serving on a committee of artists who designate and recommend projects for unemployed artists to build at federal cost.

Valencias to Pack 225 to Box, Claim Valencias will pack on the average between 225 and 237 per box during the next season, according to Dr. Dean D. Waynick, manager of the Association Laboratory. President Clayes Host to Presidents Presidents and executive board members of the fourth district, Kiwans, were guests over the week-end of President J. A. Clayes of the Anaheim club at the organization's Idyllwild lodge. Among the distinguished guests was Fourth President Ben Black of Oakland. Members of the local club, included John W. Price, William Wallop, Henry Adams, W. D. Grafton, Charles Mann, O. E. Steward, Stanley Trueblood, and Dr. H. C. Vogt, went along to act as cook and waiters. Anaheim’s Dream of Park Gracing Site of Old Mexican Colony May Come True Anaheim's dream of a park replacing the unsightly Mexican colony on North Los Angeles street will come true if the newly-appointed local committee's studies of G. M. Parks' plan result in final approval by federal authorities to spend approximately $10,000 here under the Roosevelt slum-climinating program. The local committee meets Friday noon at the Pickwick hotel to study the draftsman's plans. The committee is composed of Dr. H. A. Johnston, chairman; Dr. Dean D. Waynick, Dr. Walter L. Bigham, Attorney Leonard Evans and City Engineer E. P. Hapgood. It was appointed by President Waynick of the Rotary club, in co-operation with Dr. Bigham, president of the planning commission. Tentative details of the plan call for moving the present settlement east to land owned by the Industrial Land corporation, which would trade portions of its possessions to Mexicans in return for land they own at the present site. It also calls for erection of small homes costing approximately $500 each around a plaza, with slight variations in architectural exterior designs for the homes. These would be financed by small payments. Lots turned to the Industrial Land company would be made into a park to beautify the entrance to the city. Previous plans for this purpose required an expenditure of $100,000. Parks, an employee of the city, at his own expense and his own time investigated the possibilities of achieving this beautification scheme.

CWA Workers To Organize Sunday PWA and CWA workers and unemployed persons registered for that work are invited to attend the CWA Workers' Co-operative association meeting to be held at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the unemployed headquarters on West Adelaide Arrangements for Man Dies Twice In Strange Accident "The man who died twice" gives Orange county traffic annals one of the strangest and most tragic accidents on record. Shortly before midnight Tuesday, Ralph L. Washburn, 30, of Santa Ana was returning home on a motorcycle from his work at Fullerton. Apparently he failed to see the machine driven by Earl Gardner, Bolsa rancher, going north on Flower street, Santa Ana, and making a left turn at Memory Lane. The motorcycle crashed into the right door of the automobile, with Washburn suffering a basal skull fracture, compound fractures of the right leg and wrist, and compound fractures of the chest. Gardner, chairman of the Talbert drainage district, dazed and injured by the impact, slumped over his wheel, the weight of his body turning the lights of his machine off. The car rolled a block and stopped with its unconscious driver. Hearing the crash, Constable Cornish Roehm rushed out of his home, feared a hit-and-run driver case, pulled the motorcycle off the road and rushed the injured man to the county hospital, where the victim's heart stopped beating. In an effort to revive life, the surgeon jabbed a needle into the dead man's heart, bringing life which lasted through the night, with death again finally coming at 8 a.m. Upon regaining his senses, Gardner reported immediately to the sheriff's office that he knew "something had hit him." He fainted twice while making the report. Roehm immediately released Gardner, and took him to the hospital for treatment. Washburn's body was taken to the McAuley & Sutter parlor at Fullerton, pending an inquest. He is survived by a widow, two children, and a mother. CWA Workers To Organize Sunday PWA and CWA workers and unemployed persons registered for that work are invited to attend the CWA Workers' Co-operative association meeting to be held at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the unemployed headquarters on West Adele street.

Purpose of the association, which will elect a president, secretary and grievance committee, is to further the civil rights of the workers and promote the unemployment insurance bill recently introduced in congress.
