20 Months Continued from Page 1 Next came 10 inches of concrete. A stolen chisel and hammer, wrapped in cloth to deaden the noise of the pounding, were brought into play. And the noisy prison radio helped. It took about six months to chisel through the concrete. Each piece had to be pulverized and flushed down his cell toilet. There were cell inspections twice each month. But Tolmes stole cement from the prison workshop to disguise the outlines of his trap door. Once through the concrete, he dug straight down through dirt for a distance of six feet. Digging with stolen pieces of scrap metal he angled his tunnel expertly, slightly toward the prison wall. Small amounts of dirt were carried each night in bags made of old clothing back into his cell where they went down the toilet. Stolen kerroscene in stolen bottles with cloth wicks provided light for his mole-like efforts. Water seepage caused some trouble. But he dug an underground drainage pit, then carried the water out of it. Twenty months after he started digging, Holmes burst through the sod in the prison yard. With extra clothing in a hand-sewn bag and $152 he made running a numbers game in the prison, Holmes scaled a seven foot fence and dropped into the night—and freedom. Thirteen days later he was behind bars again. ROTARIANS SEE MOVIE AT MEETING TODAY Anaheim Rotarians saw a movie at the their noon meeting today.

Y’s Men Continued from Page 1 two numbers, followed by the introduction of special Y’s men guest by Johnny Paulson, extension director. Clubs represented South Los Angeles, Eagle Rock, Covina, El Monte, Newport, Santa Ana, Orange, Long Beach, Monrovia, Whittler, Pomona, Ontario, Huntington Park, South Gate, Inglewood and Duarte. The presentation of gavel and banner to the local club was made by Bob Long, president of the Newport club, who sponsored Anaheim’s club.

STATISTICS—Fourteen Anaheimers were born; five died and marry a marriage license was issued to Anaheimers last week. There were three boys and 11 girls added to Anaheim families. The Robert Jobes, the Kenneth Spauldings and the Owen Dicks were those who had boys. It was baby girls for Anthony Summers, Orle Fast, Fred Liebl, Warren Richardson, Robert Engel, Willard Rodriguez, Segundo Higuera, Ted Roach, R. S. Sturtivant, Clyde Elam and Milne Stearns. Death came to George Keltel, 83; Krank Everett Parrott, 73; Lucy Regan Michellini, 88; Ray Fisher, 65, and John B. Boden, 70. Cupid’s arrow failed to find its mark at least the marriage license bureau has no evidence of it. FIRST—The Gazette staff remembers with appreciation that Ray Fisher was the first subscriber to the daily Gazette. When he heard the rumor that the Gazette was “going daily” he walked in the office and demanded to be the first Gazette subscriber. That was before even the staff knew the paper was to become a daily. NITECAP—Most folks know enough to leave well enough alone, but they seldom do. Price Rise Causes More Shoplifting Rising food costs over the nation have caused an upward curve in shoplifting in markets and groceries, surveys just completed by the Western States Bureau of Investigation reveal, according to Valmiah T. Price Jr., head of that fact finding organization. “Market operators tell us that since prices have skyrocketed, thefts of the smaller packaged items which can be concealed in a large purse or a bountiful blouse, have definitely increased.” Price stated. “The food budget, strained to the breaking point, just won’t cover family needs, and petty larceny results with small packages being sneaked by the checker by both men, women and even children. Placards are appearing prominently in most markets warning the public of the penalties prescribed by law.” Terry Kilduff, stationed at Mather Field, air force base in Sacramento, was home this weekend on a 72-hour pass to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James R. Kilduff at 4:12 N. Janss. His aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Sather of Denver, Colo., have been visiting at the Kilduff’s home for the past week. This weekend their son, Ted, who is stationed at the naval base in San Diego also was granted a 72-hour pass, and was able to spend some time with his parents and relatives in Anaheim. Given State Chamber is the proposal that in that State Highway code curtailment becomes more funds be asked for critical construction projects thereafter; funds be depreciated preliminary engineering and right of way acquisition.

Stockwell First Gazette 'Ace' First Gazette paper-carrier to reach "ace" rating is dark-eyed, sandy-haired Lloyd Stockwell. Lloyd, who has been tripping Gazettes on front porches ever since the paper began daily publication, May 8, 1960, earned his rating by accumulating 575 points for new subscriptions and good service to his customers under the point system devised by Miss Lucy Hubbard. Gazette circulation manager, Carrie boys become "aces" when they reach the 500-point mark. Lloyd serves 150 families in the southern part of Anaheim after classes in Fremont Junior high school are dismissed. He's a seventh grader who hasn't made up his mind what he intends to do after school days are over. He enjoys a game of football or baseball, but doesn't play on any of the school teams. For hobbies, he says, he watches television and takes a personal interest in the fortunes or misfortunes of his favorite wrestlers. "Roger Mackay is my favorite," he conided, and added this interesting bit of information: "Linda Leone has been warned that he will lose his wrestling title if he doesn't clean up his fighting." Lloyd was born in Anaheim and has lived all of his 12 years in the same house at 629 S. Dickel st., with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd E. Stockwell. He has a brother, Glenn, 10 years old. Lloyd finds the Gazette a good product to sell. The last 10 sub--- KOREAN WAR Continued from Page 1 "We've got the 15th, and now the First is Number One on our hit parade." In the middle sector, the U.S. First Marine Division pressed northward through a narrow canyon north of Saemal, vital road junction five miles north of shattered Liengsong. The Marine advance was slow and bitter among steep-sided pools where red rifles and mortars lurked behind craggy defenses. It was aimed at the important road hub of Longchon, nine miles north of Saemal, believed to be the main band-up point of red troops on the central front. Frozen Allied bodies and wrecked Army vehicles littered the area. The men were victims of a Chinese trap in mid-February. AP correspondent John Handolph, with the Marines, reported, the exact number killed still was not known, but it is estimated at about 300. Many others are missing. Randolph said that of 2400 men at Langgoong and Saemal, scarcely half got back to wonja unwounded. Grand Jury Continued from Page 1 not but severely criticize . . . the county Probation Department for the following reasons: "For recommending probation for drunk drivers who have either killed or injured people and who have a past record of as many as three arrests and fines for drunk driving." "For including letters in the clice recommending probation but..." Chamber Opposes Gas Tax Hike Strong opposition to any increase in the state gasoline tax and to any legislation materially changing the principles of the Collier-Burns Highway Act of 1947, was voiced today by the California State Chamber of Commerce. The State Chamber directors' action followed study and recommendations by its state highway committee. "Many measures were introduced in the first session of the 1951 legislature which would materially alter the principles contained in the Collier-Burns Act," Neil Petree, State Chamber statewide highway committee chairman, announced. "One of these bills would increase California's gasoline tax from the present 4½ cents per gallon to 7 cents a gallon." "Other pending measures propose levying new highway-user taxes and commercial vehicle mileage taxes based on miles traveled, weight of vehicles and weight of cargo. Under current conditions, the State Chamber believes the Collier-Burns Highway Act should not be disturbed." The State Chamber also went on record opposing any proposal to divert California highway revenues to non-highway functions; in opposition to additional mileage being added to the present State Highway System, and in opposition to any increase in the federal gasoline tax. Given State Chamber support is the proposal that in the event that State Highway construction curtailment becomes mandatory, funds be asked for permissible critical construction projects and thereafter, funds be devoted to preliminary engineering, planning and right of way acquisitions. Saul Diaz, 50, Dies in Anaheim Ray Provencio Passes at Home Rumaldo (Ray) Provencio, 32, died at his home, 313 W. Santa Ana st., Saturday. He was born in Arizona and has resided in Anaheim for 31 years. He is survived by his wife, Frieda; three sons, Rumaldo Jr., Joe and David, all of Anaheim; mother, Mrs. Ophella Provencio of Anaheim; four brothers, Loule, Leonard and John of Anaheim, and Edward of Los Angeles. He was a member of St. Boniface church. Rosary will be at Backs, Campbell and Kaibars chapel Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Mass will be Wednesday, 9 a.m., at St. Boniface church.

Patillo, of Orange-thrope, was robbed of $295 in currency early Saturday evening when a car occupied by two young man forced his car into a ditch and took his leather wallet from his shirt pocket, according to his report to the sheriff's office. Patillo had just started away from the Arkansas Cafe at the corner of Magnolia and Whittaker aves., west of Anaheim when the other car appeared and crowded him into the ditch. Anaheim Resident Booked for Assault Charles E. Booher, 29, 829 N. Topeka st., Anaheim, was booked for assault and battery Saturday morning following a fight at 2:49 a.m. in the Anaheim Cafe Center. Grand Jury Continued from Page 1 not but severely criticize... the county Probation Department for the following reasons: "For recommending probation for drunk drivers who have either killed or injured people and who have a past record of as many as three arrests and fines for drunk driving. "For including letters in the files recommending probation but not some that recommend that probation not be given. That more consideration is given to defendants than to injured persons. "We find that in cases after a defendant has been found guilty to a great extent probation is recommended by an impression gained by an interview with the defendant by a social investigator of the Probation Department. This makes law enforcement through its proper channels an extreme farce. We believe the court is better qualified to have this interview with the defendant." The report stated that Orange county has been considered a "soft spot" as to penalties for drunk driving offenses, and that there is a steady increase in drunk driving. "Excessive granting of probation" is discouraging honest law enforcement officers, it said. Harpster Assigned To Nev. Air Base NELLIS AFB, Nev.—First Lieutenant John W. Harpster, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight L. Harpster, 619 S. Rio Vista, Anaheim, recently arrived at Nellis Air Force base, Nevada, upon being ordered into the active military service.
