Millionaire Red Goes to Jail For Contempt
NEW YORK (P)—Millionaire leftist Frederick Vanderbilt Field was jailed today for contempt of court in refusing to tell who posted $80,000 bail for four fugitive communist leaders.
The federal court sentence was for 90 days or until the "angel" of left-wing causes purges himself of contempt by revealing the names.
Deputy United States marshals led Field from the courtroom to a detention cell.
Federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan rejected a defense plea to continue the secretary of the Civil Rights Congress bail fund on parole until his appeal is heard this afternoon in New Haven, Conn.
Ryan issued his order shortly after it was announced that U. S. Court of Appeals Justice Thomas Swan would preside at an appeal.

They discovered that he was a Mexican national, illegally in this country. They found that he had purchased the car, on payments, in another man's name, in an effort to conceal his status.
They also found two other Mexican nationals in his car: Daniel Castellano, 17, and Alfredo Ramirez, 18. Velasco is 21. The three were turned over to federal immigration officers.

Federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan rejected a defense plea to continue the secretary of the Civil Rights Congress bail fund on parole until his appeal is heard this afternoon in New Haven, Conn.
Ryan issued his order shortly after it was announced that U. S. Court of Appeals Justice Thomas Swan would preside at an appeal hearing at 12 noon (P.D.T.), at the Yale Law school.
Ryan adjudged Field in contempt yesterday for his repeated refusals to tell who contributed to the bail fund.
The four missing leaders, who jumped bail earlier this week, are the object of a nationwide FBI hunt in which the public has been asked to join.
In refusing to continue Field on parole pending the appeal hearing, Ryan said that to do so would be to recognize that "a substantial question of law or fact existed in this case."
Field had been on parole since being judged in contempt yesterday.
Ryan said he had permitted Field freedom overnight on the theory that "a night's sober reflection might bring the desire on the part of this man to give the court the information it seeks."
Ryan has held that identities of the bail contributors are needed (Continued on Page 3)

Remodeling Plans Get Underway at Valencia Hotel
Amil Shab, 42-year-old Los Angeles hotel operator and new owner of the Valencia hotel, 182 W. Center st., Anaheim, has already begun work on his recently bought enterprise and has plans in operation to rejuvenate the whole hotel at an expense of at least $15,000.
Mr. Shab is married and has two children. They plan to make Anaheim their permanent home in the future.
His plans for the hotel include a new manager, clerk on duty 24 hours a day, telephone service for each room, redecorating and generally cleaning up the buildings, repairs, and a 5½ foot neon sign lighting the front of the hotel, and eventually improve the hotel's parking area.
Mr. Shab decided to go into business and move to Anaheim primarily because of the tremendous possibilities of the town's growth, due to new industries, and the increasing need for establishments of the type he proposes to run.
For the total amount of $185,000 he bought the buildings housing the Valencia hotel, the Southern County Bank, Masterson's Dress shop and Spooner's Coffee shop from the Anaheim Golf Association. The Golf Association is comprised of eight prominent local businesses: Dick Gay, Robert Rossberg, Les Moon, Leavitt Ford, Art Wilmsen, Joe Scholz, P. D. Lake and Ken Kendrick. Bryan Bostick, realtor, handled the transaction.

Recurrent Offense Nets Year Sentence
Luis Martinez, 43, of Santa Ana, came into city court today charged with drunk driving while his driving license was revoked and Judge Ronald Crookshank gave him the "whole book"—a full year in the county jail.
It was the fourth time that Martinez had been arrested for drunk driving; the second time since his license was revoked.
He was at liberty on $500 ball awaiting hearing of an earlier charge when arrested on the current charge.
Judge Crookshank once before had sentenced Martinez to serve six months.
"Evidently," said the court, "six months was not enough to impress him. This time, we will see that he doesn't do any drunk driving for at least a year."
The sentence was the maximum term possible under the law.

McCracken Lawyer to Move for Change Of Trial Site for 'More Fair' Trial
Request for postponement of Henry Ford McCracken's trial on a charge of murdering Patricia Jean Hull, 10, of Buena Park last May 19, and also for a change of venue to another county will be made when the case comes before Superior Judge Robert Gardner and a jury for trial next Monday morning.
Defense attorney George Chula announced today that he is filing formal motions for continuance of the case to give him more time for preparing the defense, and also for change of venue on the ground that the state of public mind in Orange county would prevent McCracken obtaining a fair trial here.
McCracken has pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of murder, kidnapping and child stealing.—all based on the events of last May 19, when he allegedly lured Patty Hull from a Buena Park theater and killed her in his motel apartment about 200 feet distant from the theater, then late that night buried her in a shallow grave in Live Oak canyon. Her body was found there five days later on May 24 and the county grand jury on the following day indicted McCracken on the three charges.

Preliminary Red Delegation on Road to Kaesong; Stage Set for Meeting Tomorrow
Observers Guess What Red Terms May Be Offered
MOSCOW (AP)—Foreign observers here are convinced the North Koreans will ask general elections on both sides of the 38th alley to be followed by the nation of a central government their price for peace in Korea.
Before any elections are held, they will request evacuation of foreign troops—including those with preliminary cease-fire talks only hours away, the communist preliminary cease-fire delegation rolled out of Pyongyang, red Korean capital, a little after noon today. Flying white flags, the caravan of five trucks is now reportedly on the road to Kaesong.
TOKYO (AP)—Communist commanders gave final approval to arrangements for preliminary cease-fire talks—five hours before their emissaries left for Kaesong.
In a midnight message, the top red generals had acknowledged the United Nations guarantee of safe conduct for their emissaries.
The Allies already were putting the pledge into effect when the red Pyongyang radio broadcast the eighth message in the series of radio negotiations.
U.N. war planes were ordered to keep away from the highway down which communist negotiators will travel today for cease-fire preliminary talks in Kaesong.

MOSCOW (UP)—Foreign observers here are convinced the North Koreans will ask general elections on both sides of the 38th parallel to be followed by the nation of a central government their price for peace in Korea. Before any elections are held, they will request evacuation of foreign troops—including those of the Chinese communists and the United Nations. The observers are not referring to armistice and cease-fire negotiations, but to the political and territorial discussions that will follow if agreement is reached on ending the actual shootings.
Removal of foreign troops, elec-ons and a central Korean government are believed sure to be along the North Korean de-ands.
And the foreign observers think here is a good possibility the North Koreans will seek trial of certain South Koreans as war criminals; damages from the United States and Britain for property destroyed in the war; and aid from the United Nations in rebuilding ruined cities, transports and even private homes.
The North Koreans may ask that foreign planes be barred from flying over the country, that foreign warships leave Korean waters and the ports be opened to all traffic.
If the foreign troops leave, it is believed here the North Koreans will seek to restore the sit-tion as it existed just before the war. That means the 38th parallel would remain the dividing line between North and South Korea until a central government can be established.
Naturally the Soviet Union and Communist China will support North Korean demands.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Some 3000 of the nation's teachers and educators vote here today on a proposal advocating the teaching of the facts of communism and other controversial subjects.
The vote will come as the National Education Association, the world's largest organization of educators, ends its week-long convention here.
Teaching of communism and controversial topics without fear of reprisal from pressure groups and school boards was urged yesterday by the convention's resolutions committee.
"Teaching of communism," the committee report said, "does not mean advocacy of communism. Such advocacy should not be permitted in American schools."
Another NEA committee reported that teachers' fears plus desires to avoid conflict with protesting parents and citizens' groups are curtailing academic freedom to a danger point.

Aparicio Insanity Trial Goes Under Deliberation of Second Jury Today
The case of Julio Aparicio, 57, of Atwood, convicted slayer of Santana Acosta, 59, was placed today in the hands of the second jury to hear his plea of insanity.
Superior Judge Kenneth E. Morrison gave instructions to the jury as court opened today and the jurors started their deliberations shortly before noon.
Attorneys completed their arguments to the jury as court adjourned yesterday afternoon.
Aparicio himself delivered a plea to the jury through interpreter Lewis Lucio. But his was a strange plea. He urged the jury not to find him insane. He said that he regretted having found it necessary to kill Acosta, who was his friend, but felt that he was justified in protecting his life and his property, particularly his property. Acosta, he said, had been sent into his home by Aparicio's enemies in order to steal papers that would establish title to Aparicio's property.
Officers had accused Aparicio (Continued on Page 6)
