Seven Anaheim Officers Take FBI Training Defense Instruction Given To Aid Local Police In Aiding Government Seven Anaheim police officers, headed by Chief of Police James S. Bouldin, recently completed the regional training course presented by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Los Angeles. The F.B.I. offered training in civilian defense, duties of peace officers in event of war, and methods of combatting fifth columnists, sabotage, espionage and subversive activities in general. More than 300 police officers from southern California cities were summoned to take the training. In addition to Chief Bouldin, the following Anaheim police officers took the course: Sergeant M. A. Stephenson, Desk Sergeants James Pifer and Arthur Bowen, Traffic Officer Ross Sidebottom and Patrolmen Grant Rude and Gib Cheatum. MUCH OF COURSE SECRET Much of the course was secret; officers entering the state building assembly hall were checked twice on their indentification as bona fide police officers. The secret information included the names of a number of organizations, including labor unions, known to be guilty of or suspected of subversive activities. The secrecy which surrounded the sessions, was shown when, after a double check of the officers attending, 25 men were called out of the assembly room and ques- assembly hall were checked twice on their identification as bona fide police officers. The secret information included the names of a number of organizations, including labor unions, known to be guilty of or suspected of subversive activities. The secrecy which surrounded the sessions, was shown when, after a double check of the officers attending, 25 men were called out of the assembly room and questioned further. WARTIME DUTIES OF POLICE A number of these were not permitted to re-enter and it was rumored that they were agents of subversive organizations. "In event of an enemy attack upon Los Angeles," H. A. Smith, an F. B. I. speaker, said, "southern California police officers would have one supreme duty." "This would be to keep open two highways leading from the city. One of these would be used for the evacuation of civilian population from Los Angeles, while the second would be used to transport soldiers, army equipment and ammunition into the city." DANGER WITHIN The danger which faces America today, Smith said, is from within, not from without—the fifth columnists, the bundists and communists being the great peril. "In event of a war emergency," he declared, "it will be the problem of police officers to prevent panic. It was panic, created by Germans trained in the art of creating confusion, which destroyed France. "Germans disguised in the uniforms of French police directed the civilian refugees directly into the paths of the French armies with result they were thrown into a state of complete confusion and ineffectiveness." F. B. I. CHEMIST TALKS An F. B. I. chemist demonstrated methods for extinguishing time and incendiary bombs, a task which becomes the job of police officers when an undefended town is bombed. He also instructed the police officers on how to analysis a bomb from the burned fragments after it has exploded, thus learning what chemicals are needed to combat that type of bomb." Anaheim Seeks Orange Trophy Greatly increased interested and competition in connection with the annual Sunkist award, soon to be presented to the citrus belt civic group judged to have completed the best local citrus promotion of the year, is reported by the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Anaheim is basing its hope for the trophy upon the novelty of its recent Orange Week festival when free orange juice was distributed in the downtown shopping areas, and an orange packing contest and a children's orange eating contest attracted wide attention, according to John A. Morgan, secretary of the chamber of commerce. She prophesied that Hitler would die in 1942—so now she's in a concentration camp! So many of her other astonishing predictions have been accurate that the petulant Fuehrer had a tantrum when she boldly foretold his violent end and promptly had her taken into "Protective Custody." Read about this remarkable Hungarian prophetess, Boriska Silbiger, and see the striking photographs in The American Weekly, the magazine distributed with next week's LOS ANGELES EXAMINER.—Adv.
