JEFFERAY APOLOGIZES FOR SLANDER CHARGE Nominee on "Citizens' Ticket" Admits His Charge Against Martenet Unfounded First rumblings of political warfare leading to the funicipal elections April 9 when three councilmen and a city clerk will be chosen reverberated throughout Anaheim this week when M. W. Martenet sr. demanded of and received from F. W. Jefferay, candidate on the "citizens' ticket," a public apology for slander. Jefferay, at his ticket meeting Friday night at the Fremont auditorium, charged that M. W. Martenet jr. when elected councilman four years ago withdrew from his father's hardware store in order that the latter might secure business from the city. Riled by the charges, which he claimed were made for the purpose of harming his son in the coming election, Martenet sr. instructed his lawyer to give Jefferay three days in which to make a public apology. Failing to receive this apology, Martenet sr. Thursday stated that he had intended to file suit for $10,000 damages. Jefferay, when called on the telephone by Martenet's attorney, appeared in the latter's office and admitted that his EXPLAINS PLANS TO AID JOBLESS UNDER THE SERA State Relief Administrator, Charles Schottland recently explained to welfare workers and directors in Orange county the method by which unemployment will be relieved under SERA.

Only persons on or eligible for county charity will receive aid through the new set-up. Workers for various PWA and other federal projects will continue to be furnished by the national re-employment service.

Falling to receive this apology, Martenet sr. Thursday stated that he had intended to file suit for $10,000 damages. Jefferay, when called on the telephone by Martenet's attorney, appeared in the latter's office and admitted that his charges were without foundation. He signed the following statement as a public retraction: "Since my talk at the Fremont school auditorium on the evening of March 23rd, I have been reliably informed that M. W. Martenet, sr., is and always has been the sole owner of the Martenet Hardware business in the City of Anaheim. Any reference of mine at the above meeting to the effect that M. W. Martenet, Jr. had withdrawn from the firm of Martenet Hardware store in order that his father could sell hardware to the city, I am more than pleased to correct. I do not care to be elected to any city position on misstatements or misunderstanding of facts. "I take this method of removing any implication, of mine, of wrong doing on the part of either Mr. Martenet or his son." "FREDERICK W. JEFFERAY." The incumbent councilmen, F. A. Yungbluth, Leo J. Sheridan and M. W. Martenet Jr., last week formed a ticket and this week opened headquarters on West Center street, where L. F. Pomeroy is in charge.

ANAHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1934 JOHN W. WALLOP DIES SUDDENLY; RITES THURSDAY End Comes While Playing Golf With Friends; Member of Pioneer Family Hundreds of friends and relatives mourn the sudden death Tuesday of John Wellborn Wallop, 53, for whom funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the chapel of Backs, Terry and Campbell, with Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector of St. Michael's Episcopal church, officiating Burial followed in the family plot at Fairhaven cemetery. While doing what he liked most, playing golf with a group of friends, the end came. Mr. Wallop sliced off the ninth tee and went down a ravine to recover his ball. He came up on the fairway by a circuitous and easy route falling face down just as he reached the top. Dr. F. H. Houck, one of the foursome, immediately pronounced him dead. Resuscitation efforts were tried without avail. Others making up the foursome were William A. Dolan and Oscar W. Heying. Death occurred about 3:15 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Wallop, born in Virginia, came to Anaheim when three years old, and has lived here continuously since. He was educated in local schools, and graduated from the University of California. Kaufman Strikes at ‘Ambulance Chasers’ In County; Tells Public of Its Rights Claims Fast-Talking Outsiders Solicit Business Here in Violation of Law; Advises Consulting Local Attorney Instead of Patronizing One Who Actually Violates Law by Solicitation “It has come to the attention of the district attorney’s office that the open solicitation of damage claims arising out of automobile accidents by irresponsible parties commonly known as ‘ambulance chasers’ is becoming a serious ‘racket’ problem in Orange county, as it is in other communities. If the public generally were informed about the methods used in this unethical, and sometimes fraudulent, practice fewer losses by innocent claimants would be sustained,” District Attorney Sam B. Kaufman announced this week. “‘Ambulance chasers’ are attorneys or agents for so-called ‘adjurtment’ companies who solicit the right to represent injured parties in their claim for damages against the persons who caused their injury. They usually promise large settlements, and invariably require an agreement allowing them, for their services, a large part of whatever they may collect. As part of their ‘sales talk’ they have also been known to display pictures and newspaper clippings in connection with former cases they claim to have handled and settled for fabulous amounts. Quite often after ‘signing up’ a claimant they urge settlement of claims for nominal amounts when to secure reasonable damages would require a court action and possible delay.” An attorney at law has no right to approach any person and solicit the right to represent him in any claim, nor has an attorney the right to take any case which has been solicited by any agent who is not an attorney, and if this fact were more-generally known I believe that much fewer damage Says More Brains Americanism Goal More, not less, intelligence of its citizen is needed to solve the economic, political, and social problems of the United States; the education of all citizens, in rural as well as in urban districts, so they can cope wisely with the vital problems facing the country, is the major goal of Americanism. This statement was made by R. W. Blackburn, president of the California farm bureau federation, in issuing an official proclamation to the 23,000 members of his organization in support of Public Schools week, April 23-29. The observance of Public Schools week, he said, is a fitting manner “in which to dedicate publicly the paramount importance of public education as the key to perpetuation of American democracy, American ideals, and American liberty.” Blackburn decried the political pressure which has been exerted by “certain un-American groups” bent on seriously weakening the country’s public school Kiwanis Club Host To County Seaters Vice President Stanley Trueblood presided and William Wallop presented the program for the Anaheim Kiwanis club Tuesday noon, when it was host to the Santa Ana club. Officials state that the 110 present formed one of the largest groups at a club meeting this year. Louis Danz, art critic and composer, told of his work on the 14th district federal art project, the art work being done under the public works of art projects, of the two statues for Anaheim and the mural for the Anaheim public library. Romance of Anaheim’s Past and Present Theme Suggested for Chamber Pamphlet Anaheim's romantic past and present, pictured from the days when vineyards furnished the world's foremost wines to this city's current leadership in citrus culture, will be shown in a new booklet now being studied by a chamber of commerce committee, if the plans of Secretary George Reid are followed. Pointing out the need of a new pamphlet to describe adequately the many advantages of this community, Secretary Reid last week told members and directors of the chamber that the only printed data available now is a booklet ten years old. Since it is out-of-date, it fails to picture the city in the favorable light that could be obtained by a modern leaflet. Committeemen Oscar H. Renner, Lotus Loudon, and Frank Tausch will confer with Secretary Reid on costs, authentic date, and other material to be incorporated should the booklet be printed. Secretary Reid suggested illustrating the palm-lined Lincoln avenue entrance to the city, the city's 20-acre park and amphitheatre, the schools, business centers, hotels, citrus packing houses, the Southern Meat company and other industries, in the pamphlet. He also stressed the romantic side of the city's history; urging that space be allowed for reference to the vineyards, to the city's growth, to its favorable location in the mildest of Southern California's justly-famed climate, to the $6,000,000 citrus crop shipped from here yearly, to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens 11 miles east of this city, to the city's enviable financial standing and low tax rates, and other matters of importance to persons considering locating in Southern California. The committee will make its recommendations at next week's meeting of the chamber. Chamber Considers 4-H Club Fair Here Committeemen Robert Easton, Charles Pearson, Fred Robbins and Stanley Trueblood this week have under consideration, upon orders from the chamber of commerce last week, the plans of Charles Eastman and Charles Heinrich of Santa Ana to have Anaheim sponsor an annual 4-H club fair. The Santa Ana men appeared at the meeting last week to urge favorable action, pointing out the need was shown at the fair in Los Angeles, and that nearly every county in the state, except Orange, has such a fair where products of 4-H clubs are displayed. EXPECT 600 WILL ATTEND SUNRISE SERVICE AT PARK Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter Will Deliver Sermon, "Glory of the Ressurection" Between 600 and 800 worshippers are expected to gather at the amphitheatre of the Anaheim city park at 6:30 o'clock Sunday morning to observe the annual Easter sunrise services conducted under the auspices of the Ministerial Union. Suspended over the platform of the theatre will be a beautiful cross made of the season's flowers. Appropriate and profuse floral decorations, potted and cut, will make the open-air gathering place attractive. Special Easter music and prayer will mark the opening of the services, at which Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter of the Calvary Baptist church will deliver the sermon entitled, "The Glory of the Ressurection." The services will last about an hour, and, according to members of the Ministerial Union, this year will be among the most beautiful ever held here.

Job Situation Will Be Discussed Friday Boat Explodes and Jars Newport Area Newport, jarred by an explosion which broke windows and rattled dishes off the shelves within an area of several blocks, rushed down to the pier Sunday evening to watch the luxurious yacht Yours Truly burn to the water's edge, than fill and sink to the bottom. Yung Yhung, Korean cook, only member of the crew aboard at the time of the explosion, was badly burned and bruised, but Newport Beach hospital attendants this week looked for his complete recovery. The $50,000 pleasure craft was a total loss. It was registered to Mrs. A. E. Freeman, and was scheduled to leave the next morning for Coronado, where it was to pick up Mr. Freeman and a party of U.S.C. students, including Don and Malcom Freeman, for a holiday in Mexican waters. Fire Chief F. W. Crocker and his firemen fought the flames for several hours. They could not conquer the fire on the boat, but saved the pier. The explosion is believed to have been caused by gas leakage in the galley, igniting with funes in the lower holds. LIGHT RAIN FRIDAY Anaheim received .07 of an inch of rain Friday, bringing the total for the season to 9.25 inches as compared with 8.29 last year. Job Situation Will Be Discussed Friday "Are Enough Jobs Possible?" will be discussed by Ernest S. Wooster, former editor of the South Coast News of Laguna Beach, at the CWA Workers Cooperative association meeting at Willard high school auditorium, North Ross street, Santa Ana, Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Members of various associations within the county, as well as representatives from unorganized districts, are urged to attend.
