VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM. UN Artillery Fire S Court Chooses May 14 Date For Mrs. Green Murder Trial Trial of Mrs. Cordelia Green, 23, of Costa Mesa, charged with the murder of her three-months-old baby girl, Patricia Ann, today was set for May 14 by Superior Judge Kenneth E. Morrison in Santa Ana. Mrs. Green had entered a plea of not guilty a week ago and the setting of a trial date was delayed at that time while Public Defender N. D. Meyer arranged to obtain medical witnesses for the defense. Calvary Baptist To Switch Names The Calvary Baptist church of Anaheim voted last Wednesday evening at a specially called business meeting to change its name to "(Calvary) First Baptist Church of Anaheim." This action was taken to clarify its relationship and association with the Southern California Baptist Church. The board of supervisors last week appropriated $200 for this purpose. Attorney Meyer, requesting six weeks time before trial, told the court today that he expects to prepare some "preliminary motions," the character or purpose of which he did not divulge. Meyer questions the prosecution's contention that the death of little Patrica Ann Green last Feb. 9, in the county hospital, which resulted from a skull fracture. Decision Made For '52 -- Truman WASHINGTON (P)—President Truman's announcement that he has decided what he is going to do in 1952 left lawmakers disagreeing today on whether he will run again. Mr. Truman told a White House Calvary Baptist To Switch Names The Calvary Baptist church of Anaheim voted last Wednesday evening at a specially called business meeting to change its name to "(Calvary) First Baptist Church of Anaheim." This action was taken to clarify its relationship and association with the Southern California Baptist Convention and the American Baptist Convention. Practically all of the churches residing in the smaller towns in the American Baptist Convention area throughout the United States are titled First Baptist church in their respective towns. Therefore, a distinct association has been established between this title and the organization of the American Baptist Convention, of which the Southern California Baptist Convention is an affiliate. This new title will go into effect In the very near future. The Calvary Baptist church was organized in 1922 and in its brief span of 29 years has made a distinct contribution to the Anaheim community. The minister of the church is "Pastor Bob" Kevorklan. Riverside Areas May Annex to MWD Riverside county areas are seriously considering annexation to the Metropolitan Water district, it was reported here today by Orange county water leaders who attended a forum session at Riverside and took part in discussion of the issue. Mayor Glenn P. Allen of Orange, who headed the committee which sponsored formation of the Orange County Municipal Water district for annexation to MWD, addressed the meeting, describing the situation in Orange county which led to formation of the local district, and outlining proceedings. President Jack W. Crill, of the Orange County Water district, also spoke briefly on costs of Colorado river water. C. C. Elder, hydraulic engineer for Metropolitan Water district, also was a speaker at the mass meeting, dealing with requirements and benefits involved with Attorney Meyer, requesting six weeks time before trial, told the court today that he expects to prepare some "preliminary motions," the character or purpose of which he did not divulge. Meyer questions the prosecution's contention that the death of little Patrica Ann Green last Feb. 9, in the county hospital, which resulted from a skull fracture and blood clot on the brain, was caused by beating on the head which her mother is alleged to have admitted administering the child on a previous day. Meyer contends that the child had fallen from a couch and the fall could have caused her fatal injuries. Traffic Judgment Brings $107,921 What may have been the largest traffic damage judgment ever filed in an Orange county court was awarded by a jury in Superior Judge Robert Gardner's court yesterday, the jury allowing $107,921 damages to two Hollywood couples who were injured in a fog-shrouded crash Feb. 25, 1950, on Highway 39 near Stanton. The verdict was against the California Milk Transport, Inc., and its driver, James S. Tate. Surprising feature of the long-contested suit, was that the judgment was allowed on a cross-complaint. Suit originally was filed against the Hollywood residents, Harold and Elsie Greer and Harry and Margaret S. Bell. Their cross-complaint, denying responsibility and blaming Tate for the crash by making a left turn in front of the Greer automobile, demanded $178,000 damages. However, in arguing the case to the jury, their attorney, Richard Reese, asked for $117,921. He got all but $10,000 of that amount when the jury verdict was announced by Foreman Lee Hall at 2:15 p.m., after the jury had been out since 10:39 a.m. The awards were as follows: Harold Greer, $11,150; Mrs. Elsie Greer, $25,000; Harry S. Bell, $61,-771; Mrs. Margaret Bell, $10,000; Attorney Reese had asked $71,771 for Bell. Decision Made For '52 -- Truman WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman's announcement that he has decided what he is going to do in 1952 left lawmakers disagreeing today on whether he will run again. Mr. Truman told a White House news conference yesterday he has made a decision but is keeping it to himself until he is ready to let the secret out. The way he said it and the firmness with which he indicated the decision had been made, led some influential Democratic politicians to believe that, as of now, the president won't be a candidate for re-election next year. Republicans in Congress seemed generally to think that they have Mr. Truman's political goose cooked. Only a few of them believed he will run again. However, Senator Murray (D-Mont) told a reporter "these daily attacks on the president are likely to boomerang like they did in 1948." "The people of the country don't like to see a man persecuted, he said," Harry Truman may or may not make mistakes in judgment but he is honest and sincere and is trying to serve his country the best he can." Senator Bricker (B-Ohio) said he doesn't think Mr. Truman will run. He discounted a prediction by Undersecretary of Labor Michael J. Galvin in Lancaster, Ohio, last night that Mr. Truman will win re-election next year by 56 per cent of the popular vote. "God pity the American people if that happens," Bricker said. The Galvin forecast, contained (Continued on Page 4) SENATE CITES GAMBLER COSTELLO FOR CONTEMPT WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate voted unanimously today to cite racketeer Frank Costello and 11 other gamblers for contempt of the Senate. The action was taken at the request of chairman Kefauver (D-Tenn) of the Senate Crime committee. There was no opposition addressed the meeting, describing the situation in Orange county which led to formation of the local district, and outlining proceedings. President Jack W. Crill, of the Orange County Water district, also spoke briefly on costs of Colorado river water. C. C. Elder, hydraulic engineer for Metropolitan Water district, also was a speaker at the mass meeting, dealing with requirements and benefits involved with joining the Metropolitan Water district. John Mylne, manager of the Gage canal, Riverside; Major Hasbrook chief engineer for Fontana Water Co., James Farrar of Hemet, were among those at the meeting who favored joining MWD. Former Mayor Dickinson of Riverside, who led an earlier successful move to block Riverside city proposal to join MWD, again opposed annexation at the forum session. Orange county's delegation, which also included Secretary W. D. Mill of the Orange County Water district, and Al Schroeder, vice-president of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co., and manager of the Santa Ana River Development properties in the Prado area, reported that sentiment at the mass meeting appeared to lean toward annexation to MWD. Temperatures Temperature reading in down-down Anaheim at 2 p.m., today was 64. High for the previous 24 hours was 69 at 2 p.m., yesterday. Low was 58 at 8 a.m., today. Cattle Rustlers Hit Westminster Cattle rustlers who made a raid on a Westminster dairy farm a week ago struck again last night at two points in the county. They made off with 11 calves valued at $575, according to the sherriff's office. Ray Hutchinson, 14332 Newland st., Westminster, reported loss of eight calves valued at $500. He said a truck had driven onto the grounds where a new school is under construction at Newland and Hazard sts., and had loaded the calves from Hutchinson's adjoining pasture. Three calves valued at $75 were stolen during the night from the farm of James Van de Laan, 9311 Miller st., Cypress. SENATE CITES GAMBLER COSTELLO FOR CONTEMPT WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate voted unanimously today to cite racketeer Frank Costello and 11 other gamblers for contempt of the Senate.

Five Felon Face AF S RIVERSIDE (AP)—Double murder charges, plus five other felony counts, faced Air Force Sgt. Lawrence J. Walker today as steps were taken both against him and in his possible defense. The 20-year-old Negro from Newark, N.J., was arraigned on charges of murdering Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cook, both 18, on the desert and hustled back to his cell yesterday. Fearing a possible suicide attempt, officers removed Walker's belt and shoe laces. With Friday, April 13, set for preliminary hearing, Walker's fiancée, Charlene Simpson, said she had retained attorney Sam Houston Allen to defend him. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had a representative at the arraignment. Two association lawyers are scheduled to confer with Allen and Walker today.

He spent several months in the Orange county jail. The trucker, Thomas G. Neilson, 40, was spotted by William Plett, an assistant state fish and game warden, through binoculars as Plett sat in his car on a hill overlooking the ocean. Yesterday Plett was sitting in the same car on the same hill, looking through the same binoculars. He saw a man break into a car on the beach and take something. He notified highway patrolmen who arrested and booked on a petty theft charge—Thomas G. Neilson. ANAHEIMERS IN GUAM Two Anaheim men, Manuel R. Vasquez, machinist's mate, second class, USN, husband of Mrs. Irene Vasquez of 116½ N. Philadelphia st., and Lawrence E. Davidson, fireman, USN, husband of Mrs. Shirley A. Davidson of 923 N. Emily st., are serving with the Navy's Industrial department, Naval Operating Base, Guam, M. I., which supervises 11 specialized shops and three floating dry docks. The Floating dry docks are capable of servicing and repairing any bridge. Judy Holliday, Jose Ferrer Cop Motion Picture Oscars in Absentia HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Judy Holliday, the junk dealer's squeaky-voiced babe in "Born Yesterday," won the academy award last night from two mature actresses, Gloria Swanson and Bette Davis. Jose Ferrer was given the top male Oscar for his swagging performance as the bulbosed "Cyrano de Bergerac." For the first time in Motion Picture academy history, neither winner was present. Both Miss Holiday and Ferrer are in New York. Statuettes for the best supporting roles in 1950 were Bestowed on Josephine Hull, the flittering sister in "Harvey," and George Sanders, acid-tongued critic of "All About Eve." "All About Eve" captured honors for the best film of 1950, winning five other awards as well. Its writer-director, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, walked off the platform with two Oscars, duplicating his feat of last year (for writing and directing "A Letter to Three Wives.") It was a stunning victory for Miss Holliday. In her second important picture, the shapely New Yorker captured the honors away from the highly tauted performances of Miss Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard" and Miss Davis, in "All About Eve." Miss Holliday nearly missed playing the role of Billie Dawn, which she created in the New York stage play. Columbia Studios tested many other actresses more accepted the award in her absence, lauding a "radiant performance." Ferrer, another newcomer to films, spoke his acceptance from New York party: "This means more to me than the honor to an actor. I consider it a vote of confidence and an act of faith, and believe me, I'll not let you down." Ferrer himself had thrown the party at a small Spanish night club and invited both Miss Holliday and Miss Swanson. Miss Holliday broke into sobs and could only say: "I'm beside myself with excitement." Council Guest Of Library Board Anaheim City Council was the guest of the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Public library last night at a meeting of the Orange county Library club, which met at the local high school cafeteria. Eighty-six persons attended the meeting. Guest speaker for the evening. IVE FELONY, Two Murder Raps Force AF Sgt. in Cook Killings SIDE (AP)—Double murders, plus five other felony-covered Air Force Sgt. Law-Walker today as steps on both against him and possible defense. A year-old Negro from NJ., was arraigned on murdering Mr. and Mrs. Cook, both 18, on the old hustled back to his day. Fearing a possible attempt, officers removed belt and shoe laces. Friday, April 13, set for hearing, Walker's Charlene Simpson, said retained attorney Sam Allen to defend him. The Association for the Advancement of Colored People haditative at the arraignment association lawyers are to confer with Allen today. A group of Walker's friends began raising a defense fund for the sergeant, described by his commanding officer at March Air Force base as "one of the nicest boys in the outfit." Sheriff's Dep. W. W. Walrath said that scrapings from Walker's fingernails contained blood. They were being subjected to tests to see if they checked with the blood types of either Cook or his pretty wife. Walker is also accused of kidnapping and attempting to rape Mrs. Cook. A pair of gray trousers and a bloody maroon shirt found in a garbage can at the air base—which officers tried to link to Walker—were traced to another soldier who had been in a minor traffic accident. While officers say the circumstantial evidence amassed against Walker thus far "appears strong." Dist. Atty. William O. Mackay—and the defense—are eagerly awaiting the results of an FBI ballistics test in Washington. That may show whether the slug found near Mrs. Cook's body came from the .45 caliber automatic found in Walker's possession. Walker has admitted sideswiping Cook's car on a lonely desert road, but denies the slayings. He said he drove on, leaving Cook standing by his car. Deputies found Cook's body sprawled beside the car last Monday, with his eight-month-old son Philip playing on a blanket nearby. Mrs. Cook's body was found two days later, 14 miles away. Other charges filed against Walker include kidnapping and raping Mrs. Betty Maud of River-side, Feb. 24 and assaulting her escort, James R. Hicks. Council Guest Of Library Board Anahelm City Council was the guest of the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Public library last night at a meeting of the Orange county Library club, which met at the local high school cafeteria. Eighty-six persons attended the meeting. Guest speaker for the evening was Marguerite Gilbert McCarthy, author of "Aunt Ella's Cook Book" and "The Cook Is In the Parlor." Mrs. H. M. Talbert of Huntington Beach Public library presided over the meeting. Hosts for the evening were Mrs. H. B. Pearson, Mr. Leo Sheridan, Mrs. Glen Try, Mrs. Al G. Raymond and Mrs. E. C. Kendrick. Special guests were Mayor and Mrs. Charles A. Pearson, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Van Wagoner, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Boney and Mr. and Mrs. L. Wisser. Program chairman Miss Reba Brown, AUHS librarian, and vice-president of the association, introduced Mr. Paul Demaree, who welcomed the group and then called on the librarians to introduce the trustees from other towns that were attending. During the short business meeting that followed the program, elections of officers for the next year were held, with Miss Brown walking away as president of the association. Nina Simmons, Orange county Library, was elected vice-president and Margaret Bradley of the Anaheim Public Library was elected secretary-treasurer. CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY WEATHER S.

Doughboys spotted the Chinese moving along a mountain trail north of Uijongbu, U. S. artillery pounded the mountain and by dusk the reds still had not pushed through the curtain of fire. Bitter, close-range fighting flared all day throughout the area.

Crill, of the water district. If the Santa Ana river channel, which is carrying the Colorado river water from the MWD aqueduct near Arlington to the spreading grounds in Orange county, accommodates the flow of 80 second feet, the rate may soon be increased to 100 second feet, Crill said. That increase also depends on whether the release valve of the aqueduct has that much capacity, he added. At a rate of 80 second feet, the Colorado river water is arriving at the spreading grounds in Santa Ana canyon in the amount of 160 acre-feet per day, less waste from evaporation, etc., it was pointed out by Secretary W. D. Miller of the water district. This year’s Spring Clean up campaign takes on greater meaning than at any time since World War II. Once more our country is involved in military action. Once more we are preparing our defenses. Confronted by the threat of a possible full-scale war, we cannot afford to overlook ordinary hazards which cause fires resulting in the destruction of property which might interfere with the defense program. We serve both country and self by cleaning up fire hazards around our homes, business places and industrial properties. Avoidable fires spell out needless waste of materials for which there is now pressing need. Viewed from a purely personal standpoint, the scarcity of materials for replacement of buildings destroyed by fire and rising construction costs should be convincing arguments for removing these lurking fire harbards which might strike at any moment. The Clean Up program should begin with the removal of winter—associated debris from buildings, yards and alleyways. Old newspapers, magazines and rags should be tied together and turned over to a salvage collection center. If it is necessary to have a small bonfire the burning time is from 6 a.m., to 10 a.m., and then only at a distance of 15 feet from any building or other combustible structures or material. Ed J. Stringer; Fire Chief. DiSalle Expects Some ‘Rollbacks’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael Di Salle, the price control director, said today he expects to “rollback” some prices, but there will be no “across the board” cut of prices. He also said he does not anticipate rationing. Di Salle expressed these views in a question and answer session here with the Congress on Negro business. In another mobilization-price Palm City Council was the Board of Trustees of the Alheim Public library last meeting of the Orange Library club, which met at high school cafeteria. Six persons attended the speaker for the evening. Guerite Gilbert McCarthy, of "Aunt Ella's Cook Book," cook Is In the Parlor. M. M. Talbert of Hunting-Green Public library presides over the meeting. Hosts were Mrs. H. B. Pearl-Leo Sheridan, Mrs. Glen Wisser, Al G. Raymond and C. Kendrick. Guests were Mayor Charles A. Pearson, Mr. and Van Wagoner, Mr. and Boney and Mr. and Wisser. Chairman Miss Reba UHS librarian, and vice-chair of the association, Mr. Paul Demaree, who led the group and then call-librarians to introduce bees from other towns thatending. The short business meet-followed the program of officers for the next held, with Miss Brown away as president of the Nina Simmons, Orchard Library, was elected President and Margaret Braden-Anaheim Public Library-tested secretary-treasurer. At a rate of 80 second feet, the Colorado river water is arriving at the spreading grounds in Santa Ana canyon in the amount of 160 acre-feet per day, less wastage from evaporation, etc., it was pointed out by Secretary W. D. Miller of the water district. The increased rate, said Miller, was decided upon because of the grave depletion of the underground basin in Orange county by a succession of dry years and an annual overdraft of water pumped from the basin. The water district directors, Miller said, decided to "get the 25,000 acre feet of water purchased from MWD underground as quickly as possible." The 60 second feet flow would have completed delivery of the 25,000 acre feet in 208 days, or about Nov. 1. Stepping up to 80,000 feet will complete the run in 185 days, and if the rate were 100 second feet the run would be completed in 125 days, Miller said. "We need even more water than the 25,000 acre feet purchased, but where the district would get the additional money to buy more water, we don't know," Miller said. The district is paying $10 per acre foot, or $250,000 for the 25,000 acre feet. But if the newly formed Orange County Municipal Water district does not annex to MWD by Dec. 1, another $5 per foot or $125,000 total sum, will be added to the bill, payable in 1953. WASHINGTON (UP) — Michael Di Salle, the price control director, said today he expects to "roll-back" some prices, but there will be no "across the board" cut of prices. He also said he does not anticipate rationing. Di Salle expressed these views in a question and answer session here with the Congress on Negro business. In another mobilization-price development, the United States Chamber of Commerce raised a question whether defense officials have decided "to sacrifice farmers" in order to placate labor unions. "Labor wants a guarantee that food prices will not wipe out most of the gains it expects to get as a price for 'co-operation,'" said the chamber's regular agricultural bulletin. Some people are asking if stabilizer (Eric) Johnson has sold out to labor. He is urging permission to put cellings on farm products below parity and is reported to have told farm leadership privately that parity limitations will have to give. Johnston told newsmen this week that his economic stabilization agency is considering "freezing" parity at the price levels of January 25, when the price-wage freeze was ordered. Stanton Station Drive to Open Residents of Stanton were today requested by their Chamber of Commerce to listen to fire-station canvassers when they start making their rounds in a few days.
