Contino Surrenders to FBI in LA; Will Face Charge of Draft Evasion LOS ANGELES (AP)—Handsome Dick Contino surrendered today on a draft evasion charge and told reporters "I just got confused." He is charged with failing to report for induction at an Army camp. In an interview after his arraignment, the $4000-a-week musician said he had been under a doctor's care for three years and had a mental condition since he was six years old. His mother called it a form of claustrophobia, a fear of being closed in. "You've got to believe me," he said. "I'm not trying to pull a big hero act. "It was not a matter of adjusting myself to another life. Or of going from $4000-a-week to a soldier's pay ($75 a month and keep). I would be glad to live on it if I were able to. It's not a matter of not being strong physically—being able to carry a gun or get up at 4 a.m. I wish it were." Arraigned before U. S. Commissioner Howard Calverly, Contino was mum. His attorney did the talking. "Would you say that Contino couldn't measure up to reality?" the commissioner asked. "Something like that," attorney Gerald Kales replied.

There the general will go before Congress tomorrow (9:30 a.m. PST) to defend his Asia policies which caused President Truman to fire him. MacArthur has given no hint of what he intends to say. When he left, his close advisors said he still was working on his speech and it probably will not be ready before he reaches the capital in the early morning hours of Thursday. The real bombshell of the day was the general's almost casual statement that he will not jump into politics—although he already is the most controversial political figure in America today. He appeared to be making a bid to put his dispute with the president above the political level on a plane of what is best for the security of the United States and the free world. President Truman has said he fired MacArthur because he feared the general's openly-declared policies carried the grave risk of another world war. Enthusiastic well-wishers blocked the streets so solidly that his triumphal parade through the city's streets took twice as long as scheduled. An estimated 200,000 people massed in Civic Center to hear him formally welcomed back from 14 years in the Western Pacific. The crowd went wild when MacArthur arrived. Its greatest cheers came when he smilingly assisted his wife out of the jam. 20 Daily Trips EAST from Los Angeles Including 8 "Fast-Thru" EXPRESSES Harold S. Holcomb Agent. 217 S.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA naheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1961 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA cession drove slowly through the streets while thousands cheered a welcome to the general—back in the U.S. after 14 heroic years in the Western Pacific. An estimated 15,000 were jammed into the Civic Center. Among those in the reviewing stand awaiting MacArthur's arrival were Movie Producer Louis B. Mayer and actor Arthur Lake. All those in the stand were bare headed except Harry Lundeberg, head of the (AFL) Sailors Union of the Pacific. He wore a tweedish cap. Randolph Hearst, publisher of the San Francisco Call Bulletin, stood on the second floor balcony. The municipal band kept the crowd entertained. But what it wanted was a sight of MacArthur. On the street the steadily growing crowd was backed up against a steel cable blocking off both sides of the street. The crowd at the city hall was unofficially estimated at 25,000 by 10:30. The sidewalks were completely blocked. People could not move more than 10 or 15 feet in any direction. At least some in that packed HIGH School students watch a member of the Santa Ana college body and fender class work on a car body. Seventy-six students from Anaheim High school visited the campus.

But they broke out again as soon as he said: "Douglas MacArthur, soldier and stateman is home." Another thunderous ovation broke out as the attorney concluded an impassioned speech with "God Bless Douglas MacArthur." The cheers were booming echoes of shouts that had reverberated through San Francisco streets for the two-hour-long ride from the St. Francis hotel to Civic Center at 9:45 a.m. The welcoming ceremony got under way at 11:45 a.m.—an even hour behind schedule. The first of the day's many cheers had gone up as the general walked from the Hotel St. Francis and seated himself in an open car between Gov. Earl Warren of California and Mayor Elmer Robinson of San Francisco. The street was packed so thick with cheering San Franciscans the car was barely able to move. As he was leaving the hotel some one asked MacArthur if he was anxious to get to Washington where he will tell Congress his side of the story that led to his removal by President Truman from his Far East commands. The general did not answer. But he turned to his questioner and gave him a big smile. Mrs. Jean MacArthur, and their 12 year old daughter thrilled by the American welcome, said she and Arthur are anxious to see a baseball game when they get back East. She said they would take the first opportunity to watch the big leagues in operation. Both are enthusiastic baseball fans. The family's exit from the St. Francis hotel was much smoother than its jostled entrance the night before. The hotel lobby was resisted. So when the MacArthurs came out of their private elevator they found it not so crowded as last night. MacArthur, wearing the familiar gold braided cap, smiled. But he refused to talk into microphones held out in front of him as he walked through the lobby. After the general, governor and mayor climbed into the lead car of the parade, their wives entered the second car with Col. Sidney Huff, a MacArthur aide. While thousands were in the street and Union Square, across Powell street from the hotel, the crowd was much smaller than last night. After letting the procession slowly pass, the crowd quickly dispersed. Most of the people apparently hurried to other vantage spots along the route to the civic center. The city hall was already overflowing with San Franciscans waiting to hear MacArthur respond to the formal welcome, set for 10:45 a.m. The steps were so crowded it was difficult to move. Window ledges, normally reserved for the city's famed pigeons, had been turned into precarious well-wishers block so solidly that his trade through the took twice as long ed 200,000 people Vic Center to hear welcomed back from the Western Pacific. went wild when rived.

Trying to handle two careers and do justice to both is a lot easier when you have an electric range as an ally. There’s no need to neglect other duties to rush home and do the cooking, or to let the family’s diet suffer when the office work piles up. Modern electric ranges are completely automatic and absolutely accurate. You just set the controls and the range will have your meals ready, right on time and cooked to perfection. That means you can take it easy on both jobs—in the kitchen and at the office. Your electric range will take care of the cooking—you can depend on it.

One was Jule O. Pritchard, Solano county probation officer, who came 50 miles from his home in Vallejo to see MacArthur. He said he wouldn't walk across the street to see Truman. As the parade wound through the financial district, trading came to a standstill on the San Francisco stock exchange. Traders, brokers and clerks poured out onto the sidewalk or sought window vantage points to watch MacArthur go by. The general was riding through streets vaguely familiar to him through two brief tours of duty in San Francisco. The scene had all been changed since his first assignment in San Francisco. That was in 1904-05 with California Debris Commission and as assistant and then acting chief engineering officer of the Pacific division. The San Francisco quake and fire on April 18, 1906, changed the face of the city. MacArthur was in Tokyo at that time as an aide to his father, Gen. Arthur MacArthur. The general's last tour in San Francisco was only for a month in 1930 as commanding officer of the Ninth Corps area. He left in October 1930 to become chief of staff of the U.S. Army. The crowd at the city hall continued to grow. It applauded when an airplane flew overhead towing a sign saying, "Welcome General." People were clinging to every available vantage point. Several boys clung to a quiver of flags mounted about eight feet up on the city hall. They were so busy hanging on they couldn't possibly see anything. Along the curb there was an amateur cameraman stationed every three or four feet — or closer. They carried everything from little box cameras to big elaborate things resembling a news reel camera. Estimates of the throng in Civic Center rose to as high as 50,000. The same scene was being repeated along Market street, the city's main thoroughfare. Police continually were pushing back the waiting people who bulged off the (Gentilued on Page 6) WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY • APRIL 18·19·20·21 Rexall One Cent Sale AMERICA'S FIRST AND FINEST... greatest money-saving drug store event in the nation! artised in LIFE • POST • LOOK • COLLIER'S • FARM JOURNAL the REXALL RADIO SHOW starring AMOS 'N' ANDY—Sundays • CBS COSMETICS SUBJECT TO TAX 1¢ more buys 2 Rexall PURETEST ASPIRIN 5 gr. 100's Reg. 54c 2 for 55¢ Rexall Mi31 Reg. 79c ANTISEPTIC Pint 2 for 80c Rexall PURETEST RUBBING ALCOHOL 2 for 80c COMPOUND Reg. 79c Pint POUND PAPER 50 sheets Lord Baltimore Elite Linen, Reg. 75c 50 Env., Reg. 75c, 2 for 76c LAVENDER SHAVE CREAM 2 for 60c Brushless or lather, Reg. 59c Rexall PRO-CAP 1" x 5 Yds ADHESIVE TAPE 2 for 36c SUPER VALUES DURING 1¢ SALE ONLY Rexall MILK OF MAGNESIA TOOTH PASTE 5½ oz. tubes 3 for 89¢ (limit 3) Liggett's J-U-M-B-O Size CHOCOLATE BARS Almond or plain (limit 2) Bath Luxuryl 18" x 36" TURKISH TOWELS 3 for 1.00 Pkg. 36 Rexall QUIK-BANDS Merc. or Plain (limit 2 pkgs.) 22¢ BOX OF 16 EVERYDAY GREETING CARDS with env. $1.50 val.(limit 1 box) 59¢ MOLASSES OR SALT WATER CANDY KISSES 14 ounce sack (limit 2) 29¢ ASSES men's & ladies' styles ...
