Youthful Burglar Caught at Ice Plant As He Cooks Coffee on Receipt Fire A 15-year-old burglar was caught at 8:40 p.m. last night by Anaheim Merchant Controlman Herman Jungkeit in the act of ransacking the Crystal Ice Co. cold storage warehouse and office at 1506 W. Broadway. The boy was in the act of carrying receipt books from the ice company's office to the porch of Harmony Park Dance hall, where he evidently intended to make a pot of coffee. He had taken a coffee percolator and cup from the office to the porch. More than 12 receipt books were burning on the porch when the boy was faken. Jungkeit was on his regular rounds, checking doors, when he noticed that the front door of the office was open. He slipped inside, then hid behind a safe when he heard footsteps on the ramp leading to the back door of the office. The burglar ran down a set of stairs from the ramp when confronted by Jungkeit, but stopped a few feet from the building at the patrolman's order. When caught he was carrying a shotgun belonging to Myron M. Johnson, assistant manager of the plant. Johnson said the gun had been dismantled and was stored, unloaded, in the office. A box of shells was in one of the counter compartments, but was overlooked by the burglar. The youthful intruder had gained admittance to the office by throwing a pocket knife through a back window of the office. It was thrown with such force that it sailed across the office and (Continued on Page 3) Calif Orange Stock Goes Up As Fla.

Demaree. Students in each room were notified of assignment specific shelter areas early this week. Although the regular fire bell and public address system will herald the drills, the AUHS defense council is working on a substitute in case city electricity is cut off. The defense council, made up both faculty and students, planned 12 shelters affording safety in case of attack. They include such locations as dressing rooms, the auditorium under the balcony, and building hallways. Places were chosen because of double walls on each side, which offer maximum protection against explosion and concussion. Students in shelters are being kept away from windows any type to avoid breaking glass. Bus drills were also recently undertaken to determine how long it requires drivers to be called from various jobs on campus and assemble busses ready to leave. The job was done in the record time of four and a half minutes. In case of attack, busses would be used only if 30 minute warning Calif Orange Stock Goes Up As Fla. Shivers By The Farm Editor Futures in California citrus looked very good to growers here, but growers in Texas and Florida were taking a bad beating. The AP confirmed what the Gazette said yesterday about temperatures in the two southern states. How the weather has changed in Florida is illustrated by the temperature today in Orlando where at noon it was 32. Yesterday at noon the temperature there was in the 80s. The bad part is due tonight when a low of 16 is predicted. The city of Orlando is in central Florida, it is in Orange county. Lake county is immediately north and Polk county immediately south of Orange county and between the three of them they account for 50 per cent of the citrus grown in Florida.

Melrose st., Anaheim, sustained three cracked ribs yesterday when he fell off a 10-foot ladder at Real Gold Citrus Products co., 1400 N. Olive st. Enlow was working as a carpenter for South Bros. Construction co. He is being treated in Anaheim Community hospital. The light was extinguished immediately and Winger heard the sound of running feet. He pursued the intruder, but was not fast enough. A call to Anaheim Police station brought Sgt. Leroy Curtis and Officer Richard A. Hoag to the area but found no sign of the burglar. Paul Gould Killed Changing Tire Paul Robert Gould, 39, 168 W. Center st., Anaheim, was killed this morning on the Coast highway near West Los Angeles while changing a tire on the truck which he had been driving. The body is at the Pierce mortuary in Santa Monica. Gould's estranged wife, Mrs. Nina Gould, and their children live at 620 S. Ohio, Anaheim. Residents Meet, Protest Rezoning Residents and householders of the southeast end of Anaheim held a meeting at Broadway school last night to organize the district in opposition to the planned rezoning of that locality from R-1 to M-1, or from residential to light industrial. Postal cards were sent out to the residents a few days ago advising them to meet at 8 p.m., February 1 for the "Home Preservation League" meeting.

Tank-Led AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF ANAHEIM: In order to avoid any confusion or misinformation which may arise in the minds of our fellow townsmen because of the references in Fulton Lewis, Jr.'s, column yesterday morning in the Los Angeles Examiner to the White Russian refugees being sponsored locally by the White Temple Methodist church, the responsible officials of the local church wish to release the following facts. We are in complete sympathy and full accord with Mr. Lewis's desire to keep dangerous communists and subversive aliens out of the United States of America. But in fairness to these refugees from the communists, we are anxious that they shall not be placed under any false suspicion. No two families in Anaheim have suffered more at the hands of the communists, and none are more militantly anti-communistic than the families which White Temple has brought to our community. Mr. Ivan Pakuloff fought against the reds in the civil war in Russia in 1917, and was a refugee in Shanghai because he dared not return to Russia. The mother of little Ludmilla Kozlovsky is today a widow in Canton, China, unable to communicate with her family here, and for all practical purposes a political prisoner of the Chinese Reds. The United States Immigration Office and the Methodist Committee for Overseas Relief sent White Temple a complete case-history of both families before they were received in Anaheim. Mr. Lewis's article implied that the United Nations officials were the only investigating agency. The facts are that all Shanghai refugees coming to the United States have been screened three times: by the United Nations Refugee Organization, by the United States Immigration Service, and by Church World Service (which is the inter-denominational agency representing all churches). Of the 1700 Shanghai refugees who arrived in San Francisco last week on one ship, the Methodist church accepted responsibility for only 300, while the Roman Catholic church, the Lutheran church, and other sister denominations pledged jobs and homes for the 1400. We are very proud of these two families brought to Anaheim who have sacrificed so much in their resistance to communism, and we feel that in providing an asylum for them here we are helping to establish the Kingdom of God in a practical way.

Truman Tax Request: A Quick $10 Billion WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman today asked Congress for a quick $10 billion tax increase and said he will ask still another increase later. In a message to the legislators, Mr. Truman set out this program for raising the $10 billion: 1. A $4 billion increase in individual income taxes, already scheduled to yield a record $26 billion in the fiscal year starting July 1. 2. A $3 billion increase in corporation income taxes. These with excess profits taxes included are scheduled to hit a record $20 billion next year. 3. A $3 billion increase in excise (sales) taxes—to be “concentrated upon less essential consumer goods.” These taxes are estimated to yield $8,222,000,000 next year, under present tax laws. The schedule outlined would mean a total tax take of $64,200,000,000. This is nearly a third more than the record collections of World War II when the take reached $43,000,000,000 in 1945. The understanding among Congress members is that the future increase Mr. Truman is to request later would raise government revenues to more than $71,000,000,000. The president left details of how the proposed $10 billion increase is to be made for explanation by Secretary of the Treasury Snyder. Snyder will go into this at public hearings to be opened Monday by the tax-writing House Ways and Means committee. (Continued on page 7) EXPERIENCED MODELS—Having their pictures taken is old hat.

S.A. to Go Ahead On Fire Station Santa Ana's proposed new city fire station will be built on the city parking lot, W. Third st., public objection, as registered through the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, notwithstanding. The city council's "big three" of Mayor Allen Mandy, Virgil Reed and John W. Martin, Jr., so decided at yesterday's session, reaffirming their earlier decision to choose the parking lot site, which had been temporarily withdrawn to permit a public hearing on the matter. The hearing brought forth strong objections from the Chamber of Commerce, and from experts of the Fire Underwriters assn., who said that the site was unsuitable because not convenient to the industrial section on the east side of the city, as well as Triplets Back For Visit to Their Birthplace Tyro trio was dubbed on them just five days after they were born, but they aren't novices any more. They are 3½ years old now and getting on to the ways of the world. Elizabeth, Michael and Steven For Visit to Their Birthplace Tyro trio was dubbed on them just five days after they were born, but they aren't novices any more. They are 3½ years old now and getting on to the ways of the world. Elizabeth, Michael and Steven were born within an hour of each other and are still following each other over the vast United States. Since their birth the youngsters have done quite a bit of travelling. Sgt. and Mrs. Edward A. Barnhart, formerly of Anaheim, are now living with their brood at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Mrs. Barnhart and the triplets have been visiting the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Barnhart of 727 N. Palm st., Anaheim. Edward Barnhart went to high school in Anaheim and to Fullerton junior college. He spent five years in the Navy during the last war, in all theaters of action. This time he decided to try the Army. The couple lived on N. Janss st. for five years. During his civilian phases, Barnhart was employed at Electra Motor co. At the time of the birth of their "economy size packages," both parents were 21 years old. About 40 years ago another set of triplets was born in the triplet center of Orange county, Anaheim. They were the Bever sisters—Ramona, Reona and Orena. Other than that, no records in surrounding district hospitals show that this has happened since or before in the county.
