Edgar Hoover told committee to continue its exposure of organized crime which munities of our nation.” He called also for local communities to take the lead in elements and their ally, “the political renegade.” Every c should have a yearly grand jury investigation to scrutinize Hoover and Attorney General McGrath were before the Senate committee to discuss what new laws may be needed to combat crime. McGrath urged that Congress tighten the laws against perjury — false testimony under oath — and give him authority to grant immunity to a witness who declines to testify lest he incriminates himself. He recommended, too, legislation aimed to deny use of communication facilities for gambling information. Even as the officials were testifying, a New York grand jury returned two indictments on perjury charges growing out of the committee's hearings there. Those indicted were James J. Moran, resigned New York city water commissioner, and Louis Weber, acknowledged Brooklyn numbers bookmaker. They were accused of lying in testimony about their associations with each other. McGrath, with some show of heat, told the Senators there was no way the federal government could deport Frankie Costello, New York racketer, who is a native of Italy. The five claves were removed in trucks sometime between Friday and Sunday, the owners reported. Theft of $257 in automobile equipment from the car of Milton E. Brown parked near his home, 5911 Fullerton st., Buena Park, took place Saturday. The thefts removed two spotlights, a car radio, a set of fender skirts, spare tire and wheel, and a complete set of tools. A television set valued at $295 was tolent by burglars who broke into the Firestone store operated by William Manshaw on Newport blvd., in Costa Mesa. A sheriff's patrol car noticed the front door was open at 3 a.m., Sunday and investigation disclosed loss of the TV set and a $40 bicycle. The bicycle was recovered in an alley not far distant from the store. The notorious pants burglar who has operated in various Orange county cities, plied his trade at Garden Grove last night stealing the trousers and billfold from the bedroom of Lewis F. Bearbower, 13072 Sandra pl., while Bearbower and his wife were asleep in the room. The pants and billfold were found outside the house the next morning but $18 in cash was missing. A $30 battery was stolen from a truck of William Gerritsen, farmer residing at La Palma and Miller aves, near Cypress. The theft of $40 in cash from a pottery stand operated by John Steward, on Coast highway at South Laguna, took place Saturday, Steward reported. McGrath, with some show of heat, told the Senators there was no way the federal government could deport Frankie Costello, New York racketeer, who is a native of Italy but was naturalized in 1925. McGrath's show of anger came when he said some newspapers were "trying to make it appear" the Justice Department had means to deport Costello. McGrath opposed suggested creation of a federal crime commission, saying it might lead to creation of a national police force. Hoover also opposed a national police force. And, he declared, "what is really needed is not more laws but the will to enforce those laws already on the statute books." "If the laws against gambling presently on the state and local (Continued on Page 5) Fender-Bender Causes Car Chase Cars driven by L. J. Patin, 211 S. Illinois st., and T. O. Winfrey, 133½ N.

If Perk-Up Goat Dairy, 14502 La Jolla ave., Anaheim, doesn't mean anything to you, it does to Charles W. Perkins, his wife, Lucille, and his step-son, Eddie Carnegie, 16. They own the place, milk the 90 goats, care for them and market the 120 quarts of milk produced every day. "Goats don't smell bad," the Perkins family asserted in unison when confronted with the old line about goats, and the delicate noses NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1951 MacArthur, Admin Once Again over UN Secures Lines, Drives Toward 38th TOKYO UP — United Nations troops solidified their lines on the western front in Korea today and drove rapidly north toward the 38th Parallel. Allied forces moved east from Munisan and linked up with an American division north of Uijongbu. The town is about 10 miles south of the prewar boundary between North and South Korea. Field dispatches said red resistance melted. The Americans advanced rapidly despite soupy Korean mud. The entire UN line drew closer to Parallol $8. It appeared the Allies could cross in force whenever they chose. Continuance of Crime thread to Local Levels For J. Edgar Hoover today urged the Senate Crime organized crime which "has polluted all too many comes to take the lead in ruthlessly eliminating criminal renegade." Every community, Hoover suggested, instigation to scrutinize the administration of justice. WASHINGTON, March 26 (LP)—The dispute that rages between General Douglas MacArthur and the Truman administration over how to win the Korean war has reached fever heat again. The administration may shortly ask the general to clear with Wash- (Continued on Page 8) Work Moves Ahead As Girders Set For Optimist Club Things were humming at the Anaheim Optimists Boy's Club house over the weekend. Construction on the building received a major boost when the Anahein Truck and Transfer picked up the three huge 30-foot girders that will span the big auditorium and set them in place. At the same time nine members of the Orange County Electrical Union Local 441 were "roughing in" electrical wiring according to plans. Atop the structure, brick masons were laying up fire walls and the fireplace chimney. At precisely seven o'clock two pieces of rolling equipment moved on to the job.

The place, milk the 90 for them and market parts of milk produced don't smell bad," the family asserted in unison contended with the old line, and the delicate noses of this reporter and a Gazette photographer confirmed the fact. Lucille Perkins explained, for the benefit of the press and anyone else with standard misconceptions concerning goats, that, if properly cared for, cleaned and fed, a goat will produce no smell whatever; except that a Billy goat comes naturally by an ineradicable scent which serves to keep up the nanhy goats' interest in him. As far as the taste of goats' milk is concerned, Perkins explained that it is a matter of feeding, just as with dairy cows. "No cow dairy turns its animals loose to graze on weeds, grass or whatever else that happens to be available," he elucidated. "If they did, the cows' milk would taste strong too. We control our goats' diet rigidly and it is extremely difficult to distinguish their milk from that of a cow." The yard, sheds and corrals at Perk-Up Dairy are clean and odorless and, according to Perkins, it's a necessity to keep them that way for the benefit of the goats. "You've never in your life seen anything as finicky as a goat when it comes to eating," he explained. "After every feeding we have to clean out their mangers clear to the bottom or they refuse to eat." ARRAIGN PHILPOTT ON SHooting Charge William Ernest Philpott, 1500 W.

Administration Disagree in over Foreign Policy World-Wide Easter Services Jammed In Face of Tense World Situation By the Associated Press Continuing international tensions heightened the fervency of peace-hungry Easter celebrants throughout the Christian world yesterday (Sunday). Even in eastern Europe, where orthodox Christianity no longer is favored as a way of life, Easter services were jammed. In the fact of a bleak world prospect, the celebration of the Resurrection of the Prince of Peace had added significance, and prayers for the end of strife took on new meaning.

Pilgrims to Rome heard Pope Plus XII make a lively appeal for brotherly accord to free the world of lust and violence so that all might live and work in peace. Chaplains with United Nations (Continued on Page 5) No Shift Seen On OPS Reg. 7 Meyer Baum, regional OPS price expert from Los Angeles, this morning characterized as a "pipe dream" and "wishful thinking" a rumor emanating from the National Retail Drygoods Assn., that responsibility for compliance with OPS Regulation 7 would be shifted from the shoulders of retailers to the manufacturers. "Probably our next step will be working out the details of price controls at the manufacturing end," he explained, "but that would not do away with the necessity for retail price regulations, as retailers work on a percentage mark-up of manufacturers' prices." The rumor had caused some local comment since retail merchants in this area had been urged to comply as quickly as possible with requirements of Regulation 7. Deadline for compliance had been set up from March 29 to April 30.
