VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM 17 Reds Nabbed By FBI in Early Morning Raids WASHINGTON (UP) — Twenty-one members of the communist party's secondary command were indicted today on charges of plotting violent overthrow of the United States government. Seventeen of those indicted by a federal grand jury in New York were seized in an early morning roundup by FBI agents. The four others were being sought. Sixteen of the arrests were in New York, the other in Pittsburgh. The government moved against the lesser lights in the wake of this month's supreme court decision upholding the conviction of the party's 11 top leaders. Attorney General McGrath and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said in a statement: "Some of the individuals arrested are members of the alternate national committee, recently formed by the communist party to serve as the top policy making body in the absence of the present national committee members, now HUTCHINSON, Minn., June 20—TORNADO TOPPLES TREES— A tornado toppled these three trees against a Hutchinson home, one of 50 unroofed or damaged during the three-minute gale last night. Half of the community was without electricity as the roaring tongue of wind cut a 1000-foot wide swath here. Frank Bargen, editor of the Hutchinson Leader, said damage would be more than $500,000.—Associated Press Wirephoto) No Final Decision Yet Reached As to Site of Municipal Court The state of alarm reported to be current in Anaheim because of the state legislature is considering Highway Crashes Injure 10 Over Last 24 Hours Injury of 10 persons in Orange county traffic accidents during the past 24 hours included three who were hurt in a crash at 7:15 p.m. yesterday at the intersection of Lincoln and Euclid aves., just west of Anaheim. Collision between cars driven by Burns Srigley, 19, 12771 Nelson st., Garden Grove, and Dee Roy Jones, 58, Vista, resulted in major injuries to both drivers and a passenger in the Srigley car, Miss Pat Morse, 15, 11802 Hazard st., Garden Grove. All were taken to Anaheim Community hospital. Corporal John D. Russel, 25, and his passenger, Jean Gabriel Larrize, 23, both of Anaheim. No Final Decision Yet Reached As to Site of Municipal Court The state of alarm reported to be current in Anaheim because of the state legislature is considering a bill providing that the new Anaheim - Fullerton municipal court will be located in Fullerton in January 1953 is without foundation, it was stated in county official circles today. County Counsel Joel Ogle said that in his opinion the county supervisors will have the right to decide the location of the court, which is being sought by both Anaheim and Fullerton. The new court reorganization bill consolidates Anaheim, Fullerton and Brea townships into one municipal court district. Anaheim already has offered a site for the court building free. Fullerton contends that it is the most central location in the new district. Two separate bills have been approved by the legislature, one of them locating the site in Fullerton, but the other bill, which has been signed by Gov. Warren, will control in Ogle's opinion. That measure provides that the court shall be conducted at "a place designated by the board of supervisors." The other measure, according to Ogle, was erroneously drawn by reason of the fact that it did not name the cities to be included in the new municipal court district; listing only the name of Fullerton. Later the act was amended to list the cities of Anaheim, Brea and Placentia. As finally passed it also contained the provision that "sessions of the court will be held in the city of Fullerton." Ogle based his opinion that the supervisors will decide the location in a clause in the municipal court act of 1949 which so provides. The supervisors themselves have not yet reached a decision as to the location of the court.

Navy Estimates Enemy Casualties At 57,000 TOKYO (JP)—Naval units of the United States and 10 other United Nations have inflicted 57,000 Collision between cars driven by Burns Srigley, 19, 12771 Nelson st., Garden Grove, and Dee Roy Jones, 58, Vista, resulted in major injuries to both drivers and a passenger in the Srigley car, Miss Pat Morse, 15, 11802 Hazard st., Garden Grove. All were taken to Anaheim Community hospital. Corporal John D. Russel, 25, and his passenger, Jean Gabriel Larricq, 23, both of Camp Pendleton, received major injuries when Russel's car, traveling at high speed, struck the rear of a truck loaded with pipe at 4:20 a.m. on highway 101 a mile and a half south of Irvine. Both Marines were taken to the El Toro Marine base dispensary and then to the Santa Margarita hospital at Pendleton. Fred R. Massengale, 31, Los Angeles, of the truck, was uninjured, although both vehicles, which were locked together in the crash, slid 275 feet after the impact.

Felhauer of Anaheim today had obtained a $300 indemnity from the county livestock indemnity fund to compensate her for three sheep killed by dogs last April 3rd. Mrs. Felhauer filed her claim with the supervisors two months ago, but several weeks ago the board deplied the claim on technicality because she had not met legal requirements attached to awards from the indemnity fund. She accordingly filed a new claim stating that the dogs had invaded her property at 1141 9th st. on the morning of April 3rd and had killed the sheep. She also filed a verifying affidavit by two deputy sheriffs. These affidavits had originally been misdirected to the county insurance carrier, thereby causing delay of the approval of her claim. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 76. High for the previous 24 hours was 80 at 4 p.m. yesterday. Low was 62 at 6 a.m. today.

That many rooted Valenciorchard were stolen last night from the Lipplatt nursery on E. 177th st., at the Santa Fe tracks, in Santa Ana. The loss was estimated at $54. Thieves used wire cutters to break into the wire enclosure surrounding the nursery stock. ANAHEIM GAZETTE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1951 Hurley Accuses Dean Acheson of Red Policies WASHINGTON (P)—Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley accused the State Department today of a policy of "appeasement" both to communism and "imperialism." He called it a "cowardly surrender" of the principles for which World War Two was fought. Denouncing the secret concessions to Russia at the 1945 Yalta conference, the former ambassador to China declared: "The postwar success of Russia is not due to Russia's strength but to the weakness of American foreign policy." Hurley was testifying at the Senate inquiry into the dismissal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. He came before the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees with a long prepared statement which lambasted U.S. foreign policy in general and Secretary of State Acheson individually. At one point, he spoke of Acheson as expressing "both moral and physical fear." Reached Coral Court Ivanis Club Reserves 30th Anniversary Celebration of 30 years of observation, a cake with 30 cankers presented yesterday noon anniversary meeting of the Ivanis club at the Elks hall.

My Estimates my Casualties 57,000 NYO (P)—Naval units of the States and 10 other United have inflicted 57,000 entrances without electricity as the wide swath here. Frank her said damage would be Wirephoto). Hurley was testifying at the Senate inquiry into the dismissal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. He came before the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees with a long prepared statement which lambasted U.S. foreign policy in general and Secretary of State Acheson individually. At one point, he spoke of Acheson as expressing "both moral and physical fear." The white-haired general had little more than completed his statement the committees recessed until 9 a.m. (EST) tomorrow. But he already had thrown so much harsh language that it was plain he would be in for a vigorous session with administration Senators when he returns to the witness chair for the question-and-answer phase of his testimony. There were these other developments: 1. MacArthur advised the Senators he does not care to return before them for rebuttal to the testimony from administration officials. His letter said President Truman had silenced "perfient witnesses" and kept the inquiry panel from getting the "full facts" on his relief from his Far Eastern commands. 2. Senator Knowland (R-Calif) made a request that the panel seek such portions of a diary kept by the late Secretary of Defence Forrest as might be pertinent to the inquiry. He said he understood a part of the diary "is still being held at the White House" and that other parts have been turned over to Forrestal's heirs. Forrestal plunged to his death from a tower at the Bethesda, Md., hospital in 1949 after resigning his cabinet post. MacArthur's decision against returning to the witness chair increased prospects for a quick wind up of the inquiry. After Hurley, the Senators plan to hear only two more witnesses. They are Maj. Gen. Emmet (Rosie) O'Donnell, former Far Eastern Air Force leader, and Maj. Gen. David C. Barr, one time head of a military mission to China. Hurley is a Republican who was secretary of war in President Hoover's administration Press Wirephoto. Overworked Stork Has Triple Trouble The stork perched on the roof on St. Joseph hospital at Orange yesterday and mopped his brow. He had just delivered the third set of twins there within 24 hours. The first set, boy and girl, were brought late Monday to Capt. and Mrs. Sidney Gardner of Orange. Yesterday, twin girls were delivered to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Klimek of Laguna and a boy and a girl were born to Mr. and Mrs. Sidney E. Briggs of Huntington Beach. Birdsall Murder Trial Continues SAN BERNARDINO (F)—"I wish they would hurry up and get it over with," Rose Marie Birdsall said today. The 24-year-old waitress accused of killing her brother-in-law made the statement during a recess in her murder trial. The morning was taken up by routine questioning of witnesses, principally cross-examination of Sheriff's Lt. Barton Keene. Keene, chief investigator on the case, was questioned by Defense Atty. Carl T. Rimaugh. Forty-three pieces of evidence have been introduced by the State, including the three alleged weapons: a five pound rock, a flashlight, and a two-inch knife. McArthur Says: Inquiry Hasn't Got Full Truth WASHINGTON (F)—Gen Dlas MacArthur declared today that President Truman's orders "silenced pertinent witnesses" have denied a senate inquiry the "facts" on his dismissal. But Mr. Arthur said he doesn't care to testify again himself. MacArthur rapped at the proident in rejecting by letter anvitation to appear again before the Senate Armed Services, Foreign Relations committees, vestigating his ouster. He contended, too, that sooof the documentary evidence smitted to the senators had belifted out of context so that it wimisleading," and said there will lack of accuracy" in paraphrasing. Many of the documents give to the senators in connectance with the inquiry have been "paramered"—that is submitted in rewritten, summary form rather than as the original documents. The reason is that the original documents were transmitted via radio in code. Release of the tual texts might help a potent enemy to decipher the U.S. code.

Schroeder, well known Farm Bureau leader, 1120 Memory Lane, where a $30 wrist watch and $2 in cash were taken. Schroeder had been irrigating his orange grove until 2 a.m., and upon retiring, had left a rear door unlocked. The burglar entered his bedroom sometime after 2:30 and took the watch and billfold from Schroeder's trousers in the bedroom. The rifled trousers and empty billfold were found in the patio after daylight. A few nights ago, the pants burglar entered the William Hutchens home, on Riverside drive, only several blocks from the Schroeder residence, and stole $190 from Hutchens' trousers and $1 from Mrs. Hutchens' purse. CIO Maritime Negotiators Walk Out SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Hopes for an early settlement of the Pacific coast maritime tieup were dashed today when representatives of the CIO American Radio association walked out of negotiations with the Pacific Maritime association. With the abrupt halt of talks, Phillip O'Rourke, vice president of the ARA, said: "The whole thing is broken up. Negotiations are off. We're right back where we started." Earlier there had been some behind the scene indications the talks might bring success, with the parties resuming discussions at noon after an all-night session. Many of the documents give to the senators in connection with the inquiry have been "paired"—that is submitted in rewritten summary form rather than as the original documents. The reason is that the original documents were transmitted via radio in code. Release of the initial texts might help a potent enemy to decipher the U.S. code. MacArthur testified for three days when the inquiry began later May 3. The committees had visited him to reply, if he wish, to the testimony received that most of it from Truman administration officials. The five-star general wrote chairman Russell (D-Ga.) that cause "my known personal view (Continued on Page 5) '20s Recalled by Juvenile Gangster Four youths who used my gangster tactics at a small neighborhood grocery store in San Ana yesterday were being hunted by police today, armed with the car's license number. The youths entered the store Milo B. Stokich at 603 E. Andrews place, and began prickly bags of candy and other articles. As they would lift each article and ask its price, they would throw it to the floor. Stokich said then they drove their car against the front door of the store, blocking entrance. When Stokich protested, they threatened to be him, he said.

Jury Deadlocked On Aparico Case The question of insanity in the case of Julio Aparicio, 57, of Atwood, who was convicted last week of slaying his neighbor, Santa Acosta, 59, in the Arpacio home, was still undecided today by a Superior court jury which has been debating the issue since yesterday. Superior Judge Kenneth E. Morrison let the jury deliberate until 1 a.m. to day, after the jurors had been deadlocked for 7 hours. The jury was then locked up in a Santa Ana hotel and resumed its deliberations today. The votes stood at 9 to 3 in favor of finding Aparicio sane, it was reported. Should his sanity be determined, Aparicio faces a death penalty for the murder of Acosta since the jury last week made no recommendation for a life sentence. The insanity case was submitted to the jury at 4:05 p.m. Early balloting was reported to have gone strongly in favor of the incarceration district. Quantities and amounts involved in the long-term contracts with the Ordnance Corps were not disclosed. The factory is expected to provide employment eventually for approximately 2500 persons. Ground for the new plant will be broken following completion of escrow arrangements, Gen. Echols said. The 250,000 square-foot building will be constructed at 500 E. Orangethorpe ave., Anaheim, by the Wm. P. Nell Company, Ltd., of Los Angeles. Northrop will occupy it under lease from the Marda Corp. The site is reportedly just inside the disputed city boundary and on the west side of the Santa Fe and Union Pacific tracks. The Pacific States Industrial Realty Co. of Huntington Park acted as real estate brokers in expediting negotiations between Northrup and the Marda Corp. Pacific States Industrial Realty Co. also acts as representatives of the Wm. P. Nell Company, Ltd., R. R. Nolan, formerly Director of Service at Northrop, will become general manager of the Anaheim branch. Mr. Nolan, one of the 50 original employees of Northrop, served as assistant factory manager during World War II. The Anaheim factory will manufacture range finders to Ordnance Corps design. Col. Broberg will supervise administration of the contract with Northrop. Operations at the new branch will be entirely separate from the aircraft manufacturing operations of the main plant in Hawthorne where Scorpion F-89, all-weather interceptors, are being built for the U.S. Air Force. The new factory building will be of concrete construction and will incorporate large, dust-free, air conditioned areas for controlled manufacture and assembly of precision parts. Present plans provide for the building to be ready for occupancy by Nov. 1. Full scale operations are scheduled for 1952. Personnel for the Anaheim branch will be recruited wherever possible from residents of that area, Nolan said. "We are most appreciative of the cooperative spirit displayed by the city officials of Anaheim and the Anaheim Chamber of..." Battle to Tax Urban Areas Up For Final Decision in Senate SACRAMENTO (AP) — A slamb battle between cities and counties over a proposal to tax California's fast sprouting urban fringe areas reached the final decision stage in the Senate today. The controversial zoning bill, already passed by the Assembly was approved last night by the Senate local government committee, 7 to 2. It moved to the upper house floor for a showdown vote in the closing days of the session. Adjournment is set for Saturday. The measure would allow county supervisors to charge unincorporated suburban areas for special services, such as police and fire protection or library facilities. The tax would be limited to $1 per $100 assessed valuation. Richard Graves, executive director of the League of California Cities, championed the bill by Assemblyman Albert I. Stewart (R-Pasadena). He said it would end the free tax ride by unincorporated districts getting city-like benefits at the expense of city and farm taxpayers. Opposition came from the California Association of County Supervisors. Spokesmen assailed the bill as unworkable, even unconstitutional—a move to force residential sections outside cities to annex or incorporate. They pleaded for an interim committee study—and hence a two-year delay until the next session. The rival sides, in stinging debate, raised the question as to just who is getting the free ride—the fringe areas or the cities?
