FBI Starts a Wide Hunt for Downey Man WASHIGTON (UP)—The FBI today posted nationwide "wanted" notices for Frank Walter Kristy of Downey, sought on charges of kindnapping and killing his 20-year-old stepdaughter. The bureau said Kristy, 48-year-old painter and electrical repair man, had been traced through Nevada to Fort Douglas, Utah. Then he dropped out of sight. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said the fugitive is believed to be hitch-hiking across the country and issued a special warning to motorists against picking up anyone resembling Kristy. Hoover said "he is considered extremely dangerous as he is known to be armed." Kristy is described by the FBI as a chain cigarette smoker and a heavy drinker, with a habit of contantly drumming the fingers of his right hand when nervous. He is heavily tattooed with romantic mottos and figures on the arms, right hand and shoulders. He is of medium height and weight with brown curly hair, streaked with gray. He has blue eyes and ruddy complexion. Kristy's stepdaughter, Betty Jean Hansen, was kidnapped from their home at Downey, July 5. Her automobile was later found abandoned at Las Vegas, Nev., and picnickers at Newhall, Calif., found the slain girl's body there on July 13. Baptist Church To Adopt New Name Sunday The Calvary Baptist church of Anaheim will officially become the (Calvary) First Baptist church of Anaheim on Sunday. This action, taken by the membership of the church, has fulfilled the necessary three-month period which is required by the constitution of the church, to become official. The move was taken by the church to fully establish in the minds of the people its association with the American Baptist convention, and its affiliate, the Southern Baptist convention. The Calvary Baptist church began in 1922 with approximately 50 members. It first met in the Odd Fellows hall for its Sunday services, and in the Mexican mission for its Wednesday evening prayer fellowships. It then purchased the property at the corner of Broadway and Citron. A tent was pitched for tentative worship services, and the Sunday school met in the house which was already on the property. Then the present church auditorium was built to meet with the requirements of a growing congregation. In 1944 the present parsonage next door to the church was procured. A growing Sunday school needed room for expansion, so in 1947 a $20,000 unit was added to the church. In that same year a nearby lot was purchased for assisting the youth program of the church. The membership of the church will open with a congregational hymn period led by Walter Taylor. The Rev. Al Casebeer, pastor of the Church of Christ, will preside. Special music will be presented by the White Temple choir under the direction of Miss Gania Demaree and accompanied by Mrs. Joe Burk. Only Air Action On Korea Front U. S. Eighth Army Headquarters, Korea (UP)—Allied B-29 Superforts roared through thick clouds and rain today and bombed the communists' east coast rail and supply centers. The crews dropped their bombs by radar. The overcast prevented observation of results. The big planes met neither enemy planes nor flak. The Japan-based B-29s hit the Kowon rail yards and the Hungnam supply area. On the ground, action was limited to patrol clashes at scattered points along the battlefront. Allied warplanes on Thursday flew 470 sories despite bad weather, striking rail lines, supply centers and bridges. LA 'COOLS OFF' LOS ANGELES (UP)—It wasn't exactly cool, but the heat wave slacked off a bit today. It was 85 degrees at noon, compared with Wednesday's high of 92 and yesterday's 91. In 1944 the present parsonage next door to the church was procured. A growing Sunday school needed room for expansion, so in 1947 a $20,000 unit was added to the church. In that same year a nearby lot was purchased for assisting the youth program of the church. The membership of the church was increased annually until now there are over 300. The fellowship has been served by 11 pastors during the 29 years. A renovation and improvement program is now in effect. A completely equipped, soundproof nursery has been constructed at the rear of the sanctuary so mothers with infants may attend and observe the services from behind plate glass. A public address system has been installed for the nursery, alcove of the sanctuary, and the basement. A beautiful women's lounge has been completed. Tourists Pour Into California California had more out-of-state automobiles within its borders in the first six months of this year than ever before, says the Automobile Club of Southern California. Motor travel is up 26 per cent over 1950. There were 588,099 out-of-state cars carrying 1,540,549 passengers into the state from January through June, 151,276 cars arrived in June alone, more than in any single month before, the Auto Club said.

LOUIS (P) — The untameable Missouri river headed toward a crest near its juncture with the swollen Mississippi today, crumbling protecting levees in its drive toward St. Louis. Army engineers predicted that all dikes at the confluence of the two great rivers would be swept away within the next 48 hours. The Mississippi, carrying the muddy Missouri waters which created the nation's first billion dollar flood, is expected to crest at 40.5 at St. Louis Monday. That would be the highest mark recorded here since 1844. Most of the 300 people living at West Alton at the crossroads of the rivers remained skeptical, however, even as the waters poured over the last remaining barrier protecting the community, West Alton is east of St. Charles and about 15 miles north of St. Louis. The Coast Guard was standing by with boats to evacuate the diehards who through the years have become accustomed to floods. In St. Louis, officials said that Crucial Cease-Washed Out Middle East on Brink of Great Crisis as King of Jordan Is Slain JERUSALEM (P)—An assassin sprang out of the shadows at the Mosque of Omar today and killed Abdullah of Jordan. The shooting brought the turbulent, oil-rich Middle East to the brink of a new and dangerous crisis. The assassin, emerging from behind a door, brought down the 5-foot 4, bearded monarch on the Moslem sabbath. Abdullah was entering the mosque to pray. The king's bodyguards killed the assassin. The bursts of fire which cut down the monarch could be heard in this capital of Jordan's recent Move Underway To Launder TV HOLLYWOOD (P) — West Coast television producers have adopted a purity code calculated to shield the viewer from the cruder aspects of modern civilization. The new code of ethics was approved yesterday by 53 executives representing the National Society of Television Producers. It represents the first formal action by the TV industry to follow the moral highroad cut by Last German Prince Dies HECHINGEN, Germany (F)—Imperial Germany's last crown prince—Friederich Wilhelm of Hohenzollern—died at his little villa here last night after a long illness. He was 69. Eldest son of Germany's last kaiser, Wilhelm II, Prince Wilhelm since World War II had lived in near seclusion here within sight of a hilltop Hohenzollern castle which he could not afford to run. In World War I he was in nominal charge—with general staff experts constantly at his elbow—of the German army in the bloody carnage of Verdun. After the heroic French stand had stemmed the German offensive, he was kicked upstairs to command of an army group. He followed his abdicating father into exile in Holland, remaining there five years. Allowed back in Germany in 1923, he settled down to managing the vast Hohenzollern estates. Russian occupation after World War II took most of them from him. UNLOCKED AUTOMOBILE IS STOLEN YESTERDAY Thievery in Anaheim yesterday netted an automobile and an automobile battery, according to police reports. William M. Wallevand, Olive, reported to police that his car been stolen while he was at West Alton at the crossroads of the rivers remained skeptical, however, even as the waters poured over the last remaining barrier protecting the community. West Alton is east of St. Charles and about 15 miles north of St. Louis. The Coast Guard was standing by with boats to evacuate the diehards who through the years have become accustomed to floods. In St. Louis, officials said that damage would be confined mainly to the riverfront section as it was in the 1947 flood, which cost industries an estimated $9,000,000. The city proper, including the business district, is on comparatively high ground. The assassin, emerging from behind a door, brought down the 8-foot 4, bearded monarch on the Moslem sabbath. Abdullah was entering the mosque to pray. The king's bodyguards killed the assassin. The bursts of fire which cut down the monarch could be heard in this capital of Jordan's recent enemy by Israelis living near the old City Wall. The announcement by the Amman radio of the king's death spread intense excitement in the Israeli part of Jerusalem. Israelis living here could see Abdullah's Arab Legion army men out in force, clearing the streets of the old city and herding residents of the area near the Mosque of Omar into central check posts for screening. The borderline between the old city of Jerusalem, held by Jordan, and the new city, held by Israel, was sealed off, and a state of emergency was proclaimed in Amman, capital of Jordan. Abdullah, 69, was one of the principal stabilizing influences in a Middle East torn by nationalist agitation, international jealousies and competition over oil riches. His second son, Prince Naif, was immediately named regent. The crown prince and heir apparent, Emir Tallah, has been under treatment in Beirut for a nervous breakdown. He was reported sharply at odds with his father. Tallah's young son may be in line for the throne. A Lot of Drink LOS ANGELES (F)—Willard Smith, Jr., all 412 pounds of him, is much too big to get drunk. He said so himself yesterday while in court on a charge of driving while intoxicated. “This is silly,” fumed the large man. “I can't drink enough. Why, I once won a beer guzzling contest by drinking 43 regular 12 ounce bottles of brew, and I wasn't drunk.” He pleaded innocent and demanded a jury trial. Two policemen said they had some difficulty in prying Smith from behind the wheel of a hotel, on Richmond Middle East to the brink of a new and dangerous crisis.

SAN DIEGO (AP)—Two lightning-set brush fires in the Cleveland National forest were reported in check today after blackening 800 acres. Stitch in Time ... HOUSTON, Tex. (AP)—Two days ago John T. Brown donated a pint of blood to the St. Joseph hospital blood bank here. While mowing his lawn yesterday, Brown was cut on both feet by a power mower. A doctor decided he needed a blood transfusion. Brown got his own blood back. Soap Boxers Turn in More Championship Performances Anaheim stands a good chance of being represented national races of the Soap Box Derby at Akron, O.," Snyder, Anaheim Derby chairman, said today when sorted that Joel Habener, 217 E. Water st., had won seats yesterday in the Class A races at Arroyo Secoound. Habener, who is sponsored by Leavitt Ford Studebaker turned in the fastest times so far with a flat 24.00 second faster than his competitor, in the semi-final. Snyder reported that was made against a head-to-head second race. Habener's third and last Soap Box Derby and the racer he used last weaver, it has been "hopped-up" and modified to produce an aerodynamically "clean" design. Five other Anaheim boys won their first heats and one was declared winner of a dead heat in the semi-final, but was later ruled out. Frank McConnell, driving for OK Rubber Welders of Buena Park, was the unfortunate second choice. Snyder said most of the Anaheim drivers and rooters feel McConnell may have won the heat, but all took the disappointment in good spirit. Jerry Sanders, Tommy Stagner, Richard Hedden and Ben Curtis were the other four first heat winners and all but Hedden took second place in the semi-final heats. Hedden was scratched when his cable broke and he will race again tomorrow. Another Anaheim boy, Gil Kochler, driving for Lund and Sons Paint Co., will race in the finals tomorrow. He won both his heats in the Class B races Wednesday. Two Anaheim boys placed second in the initial heats yesterday; Clifford Kobernik, sponsored by Gibbs Lumber Co., and Pat Schneider sponsored by Bob's Camera Mart. Snyder reported that the Anaheim drivers have been standouts at the preliminaries, with about 95 per cent of the boys going through the inspection lineups with little criticism from the inspecting officials, and winning an above-average number of heats. Temperatures Temperature at 2 p.m. 88. High for past 24 hours, 98 at 4 p.m. yesterday. Low, 67 at 6 p.m. Weather S. Calif.—Mostly sunny Saturday but increasing night and morning low clouds along coast and scattered cloudiness. Slightly cooler afternoons coastal section. Release-Fire Talks Are Out by High Water Disagreement Looming Over Keeping Foreign Troops in Korea After War MUNSAN, Korea (AP)—The Korean armistice talks, focus of world hopes for peace, took a back seat today to the weather. A flash flood turned a creek 10 miles south of the Kaesong conference site into a raging torrent and barred Jeeps carrying United Nations delegates to the truce city. ENEMY CASUALTIES WASHINGTON (AP) — The Army today estimated enemy casualties in Korea through July 13 at 1,213,544. This is an increase of 10,616 over the previous week. Chinese casualties were estimated at 602,453. North Korean losses were Twenty newsmen and service personnel crossed the stream earlier and reached Kaesong. They returned by late afternoon. Bad weather also grounded the helicopters in which U. N. delegates usually travel the 14 airline miles to Kaesong. The eighth session between U.

This is an increase of 10,616 over the previous week. Chinese casualties were estimated at 602,453. North Korean losses were placed at 611,091. State Case to Rest in Trial Of McCracken The murder trial of Henry Ford McCracken was in recess in Santa Ana today. It was calendar day in the courts. District Attorney James L. Davis said he had only two or three more witnesses to examine and would rest his case Monday against the cowboy guitarist charged with slaying 10-year-old Patricia Team Hull in Buena Park May 19. Dr. Raymond Brandt, Orange county autopsy surgeon who testified Wednesday that the little girl's body was violated after death, was subjected to intensive cross-examination yesterday by defense attorney George H. Chula. Chula retracted much of Dr. Brandt's testimony about the murder weapon, which has not been found. The physician said he believed a weighted blade was used to inflict most of the 15 deep lacerations on the girl's head, which bore three fractures. He admitted, however, that two of the fractures could have been made by a flat surface. When the state rests its case the defense will have its turn. Defense Attorney Chula has not divulged his line of attack upon the state testimony, nor the names of witnesses whom he expects to call, other than to state definitely that McCracken will go on the witness stand. Drugs, Liquor Cause Closing Twenty newsmen and service personnel crossed the stream earlier and reached Kaesong. They returned by late afternoon. Bad weather also grounded the helicopters in which U. N. delegates usually travel the 14 airline miles to Kaesong. The eighth session between U. N. and communist teams—generally regarded as crucial in this first phase of the peace talks—was postponed until 10 am. tomorrow (7 p.m., EST, Friday). A single major issue bars agreement on an agenda which would permit the armistice talks to move into the second phase. While there has been official silence at the U. N. advance camp here, both communist and high United States sources have made clear that the knot was tied by red demands for withdrawal of all foreign troops from Korea. Communist radios in Pyongyang, the red Korean capital, Pelping and Moscow have dinned this theme. And in Washington, U. S. Secretary of State Acheson said a U. N. force "must remain in Korea until a genuine peace has been firmly established." Acheson in a statement confirmed that "the communist delegation at Kaesong has raised the question of the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Korea in connection with an armistice." He added: "The United Nations command delegation has stated that it cannot go into this question, which is political ... and can only be settled by the United Nations and the governments concerned." Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, supreme Allied commander, returned to Korea yesterday from Tokyo after the Kaesong meeting broke up so abruptly. He flew to Tokyo last night. A U. N. spokesman told newsmen after the close of Thursday's brief seventh "no progress" session: "I think we will come to an agreement (at the next meeting) or there will be an air of finality about the disagreement." The fact that only one issue bars an acceptable agenda indicated that the two delegations had found agreement on such questions as the significance of Parallel 38 separating North and South Ko- Drugs, Liquor Cause Closing Of Youth Club LAGUNA BEACH (UP)—The Laguna Beach youth club has been closed to its 300 teen-age members pending investigation of charges that marijuana and liquor have been used nearby. A director, Jack Sheehan, said a summer resident complained he was insulted by some boys on the steps of the club when he called for his daughter, a guest at a club affair, and that he detected marijuana odor. No arrests have been made so far, Police Chief William H. Bachman says. A NEW HAZARD LOS ANGELES (UP)—Because Mrs. Florence Goldenburg got caught in the zipper of a pair of slacks she was trying on, she wants $2,953. She said she suffered that amount of physical, economic and mental damage" because the slacks were "unsafe and unsound." Operators of the store claim she failed to use ordinary care. The case is to be decided today. President Garfield's Son Dies in Boston BOSTON (UP)—Funeral services will be held tomorrow for Irvin M. Garfield, 80, son of the late President James A. Garfield. Garfield, a prominent Boston attorney, died yesterday in Peter Bent Brigham hospital. He was 11 years old when his father, the 20th president, was fatally shot in 1881.
