Busy County Crooks Pick Up $1000 In Cash, Property Over Weekend More than $1000 worth of cash and property were stolen in Orange county over the week-end chiefly from automobiles and business establishments, according to reports at the sheriff's office. Largest loss was at the Delmar L. Goodwin garage in San Juan Capistrano where two saddles with matching bridles worth $575 were taken in the early hours Sunday. The theft of a movie camera, a brief case, and lady's purse from a car of W. F. Snellenberger, Santa Monica, which was parked in front of the Capistrano hotel during Saturday night represented at $185 loss. The sum of $130 in cash was stolen from a wallet in the purses of Molley Smith, which she had left in an unlocked car while moving out of a cabin at the Pin Summer Shooting Classes End With Match at Rifle Range Finis to another Anaheim summer recreation activity was written Saturday as junior riflemen staged their final shoot at the Associated Rifle Clubs range. Sponsored by the City Recreation Department in conjunction with the high school and Associated Rifle Clubs of Anaheim, the program began in July. Approximately 100 student shooters, boys and girls, ranging in age from 8 to 16 turned out for the five day-a-week sessions at the North Olive street range. Ammunition was provided by the Recreation Department. Instruction was provided by Major Ralph Comstock, AUHS Cadet Commandant, who handled the boys, and Mrs. Cora Watters, who took charge of the girls. This year's shooting program represented a significant increase over those of the past summers. Classes were previously held in the high school armory which, by comparison with the new rifle range was definitely limited as to facilities for handling students. Class sessions took place three times a week for both boys and girls. Instruction emphasis this summer centered around three major aspects of riflemanship: safety, care of weapons and shooting accuracy. Safety was a major consideration of the program. Young gunners were taught proper respect for the lethal weapons which are the basis for good sport—when they are used right. Saturday's finale highlighted the final shoot of the summer for the juniors. Some forty to fifty of the summer students participated. Medals, trophies and prizes were in store for the afternoon's crack shots, in both boys and girls divisions. Awards were donated by the Elks Rifle Club, Major Ralph Comstock, Major L. A. Pope of Los Angeles, Mrs. Watters and the Associated Rifle Clubs of Anaheim.

Harris had called Barker a name and struck him in the nose then seized the check and ran out of the store after Barker had tried to induce Harris to come into his office for identification. Police later managed to gather up all pieces of the check and restore it in jig saw fashion, adding it to two other checks for identical amounts which Harris is said to have passed on two other Safeway stores in the city on the same day.

VFW Encamps Sans Message From MacArthur CHICAGO (AP) — Veterans of Foreign Wars today opened their 51st national encampment, a meeting which may have produced its biggest news in advance—a withheld message from General MacArthur. The Far East commander cabled the message last week to be read at the convention by the National VFW commander, Clyde A. Lewis. It dealt with U.S. military police in the Asiatic-Pacific area. Yesterday, a second cable was received by Lewis. It said that MacArthur had been directed to withdraw the earlier statement. Today, in Washington, the White House said that President Truman asked MacArthur to withdraw the statement "to avoid confusion as to the United States position." As the first session of the VFW convention began with a memorial service for the nation's military dead, a program which was rained out yesterday, commander Lewis told reporters he would (Continued on page 5) Child Killed Crossing Street Stella Moreno, 2½, was instantly killed Sunday morning when she attempted to follow her mother across Placentia-Yorba blvdds., on Santa Fe st., at Placentia, and was struck by an automobile driven by Manuel Mello, 1413 W.

But sometimes there is an explanatory factor which adds meaning to the oft-used phrase. Take the case of Anaheim street sweeper Peter Kavanagh and his canine companion, Laddle. If you're ever up and around before the workday begins you've seen the two making their rounds. Five years ago, as Kavanagh tells it, the kids found a shivering little mongrel trapped in an old oil sump. They rescued the animal and turned him over to Kavanagh who gave him a home. The pup recovered quickly and Kavanagh suddenly found himself with a companion on his early morning rounds through Anaheim. Wherever Pete went, Laddle went too. That was five years ago, and what went then still goes today. Pete starts his routine with cart and broom—and Laddle. That's every day, too, Pete points out, not just once in a while. Of course, he adds, Laddle has taken to working half-days of late. But then a guy's entitled to live a dog's life once in a while.

Senate Committee OK’s Doctor Draft; Army Takes Over Rails WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate Armed Services committee approved unanimously today allowing a draft of doctors, dentists and medical specialists for military service. Senator Hunt (D-Wyo) who is a dentist, was designated to seek Senate passage of the measure as soon as possible. A similar measure also is before the House Armed Services committee. State Employment Hits New Peak Employment in California climbed to a new monthly peak for the fourth successive month when an estimated 4,156,000 persons were at work in the state during July, the State Department of Employment reported today. Employment Director James G. Bryant said the total exceeded the previous July record, set in 1948, by 10,000 and was 115,000 larger than the total for last July. All-time high for employment in California is 4,289,000, recorded during September 1948. Both seasonal and non-seasonal increases contributed to the gain of 42,000 employed persons from June to July, Bryant said. “Economic activity in California, as of July 15, showed few direct effects attributable to United States participation in the Korean war,” the director said. “Minor employment gains in defense industries resulted primarily from increased work on contracts already in effect. The indirect effects would be tapped first. Both bills provide that no doctor or dentist who was a member of a reserve component on Aug. 16, 1950, is liable to this specialized draft as long as he remains a reservist.
