Drunk and Driving What should a newspaper do about persons arrested as "drunk and driving?" Shield them? Give them a break? The Gazette has a policy. Read about it on Page 2. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Record Peacetime Military Budget Approved Today WASHINGTON (UP) — A record $56,062,4005,890 peace time military budget was approved today by the House Appropriations committee.

ANAHEIMERS! — If your shirt collar was damp and you felt sticky today, you had a lot of company. The mercury soared to an official 98 at 2:00 p.m. The seasonal high and the hottest Aug. 6 since 1884. The minimum was 65 and from there the temperature went steadily upward. By 11 a.m. it was 86. Yesterday the high was 97 and the previous high this year was 92 on July 18. The warmest ever recorded Aug. 6 was 101 in 1884 but the highest for any day-in August was 106 on Aug. 19, 1885. Speaking of heat: Yesterday it was 112 in Palm Springs; 111 in El Centro; 109 in Blythe; 106 in Needles. Even at the beaches, where sweltering citizens go to escape the heat, temperature reached boiler room proportions. it include financing of the fighting in Korfea since June 30, the bill for that to be footed in a later measure. With that one exception, the present measure is to finance the Defense Department for the fiscal year ending next June 30. Accompanying the big money bill to the House for debate starting Wednesday was a statement by Rep. Mahon (D-Tex). It sharply rebuked the military for wasteful manpower and procurement practices. Mahon is chairman of a subcommittee that wrote the bill after several months of hearings. More than half the bill's total is for buying military "hardware"—tanks, planes, guns, rockets, weapons and other supplies for a military manpower force of 3,500,000. About $15,000,000,000 is for aircraft and component parts to give this country what the committee called "the most powerful striking force ever placed in the hands (Continued on Page 6) Former Junior City Engineer Dies After Operation Roy Mallek, 35, of Redondo Beach, who worked as a junior engineer for the City of Anaheim, died Friday shortly after an emergency brain operation. Mr. Mallek's co-workers in City hall reported that the deceased complained of twitching muscles in his arm and numbness shortly after he began working for the city, July 16. The condition became worse and one and a half weeks ago he was hospitalized for observation and treatment of a partial paralyses. Suspecting a brain tumor, his physicians operated and found that he was suffering from an abscess of the brain. Shortly after the operation Mr. Mallek died. Mr. Mallek was born in 1916 in Denver, Colo. Before taking his position with the Anaheim City government he had worked for the City of Redondo. His wife, Mrs. Jessie Mallek, of Redondo Beach, survives him. Boyle to Continue As Dem. Chairman Despite Charges WASHINGTON (AP) — William M. Boyle, Jr., conferred with president Truman today and said afterward he has no intention of resigning as chairman of the Democratic national committee. Boyle told reporters, "I have always conducted myself honorably." Boyle's name has been brought into published accounts of a $556,000 government loan to a St. Louis printing firm. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said the loan was turned down three times but was granted after the firm retained Boyle. Boyle has denied he had any connection with the loan, but there have been demands in Congress for an investigation of it. Senator Byrd (D-Va) has declared that if Boyle used his influence to get the loan for the firm, then Boyle should be fired or should resign from his party post. Boyle spent 30 minutes with President Truman, his first call at the White House since the Post-Dispatch published its stories that he received fees from the American Lithofold Corporation, the RFC borrower. Boyle told reporters he had discussed the matter with Mr. Truman. As to what he intends to do, Boyle said: "I was elected by the Democratic party to serve until after the Democratic convention. My intention is to serve out my full term, which lasts until the convention in July, 1952." Brother of Man Killed Sunday in Trip Over Niagara Falls to Try Feat NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. (AP) — William "Red" Hill pressed his luck too far and lost his life trying to go over Niagara Falls in a home-made rubber "barrel." But already his younger brother, Lloyd, is preparing to try the same dare-devil feat—in a steel barrel. Lloyd said last night he'd probably make his attempt next Sunday. The 38-year-old "Red" had teased fate for years on the treacherous rapids of the Niagara river. His ambition was to become the fourth person to go over the Falls and live. But yesterday, with 200,000 spectators lining the river banks, his rubber barrel failed him and he was swept to death over the 165-foot Canadian Horseshoe Falls. He was the third person to die in the attempt. Searchers found Hill's body this morning in the lower river basin, at the Maid of the Mist company's Canadian dock. Hope had been abandoned yesterday, when Hill's shoes were found in the innertube barrel. Hill's barrel was made out of 14 old innertubes, inflated and bound together with cotton canvas and heavy fish netting. It was shaped like a jelly roll, closed at both ends, with an air mattress inside to help him breathe. The barrel weighed 100 pounds. Hill weighed 150. Hill calmly told newsmen before the trip that his contraption would be "the safest thing ever made for the trip." The crushed and twisted barrel was recovered soon after it passed over the falls. It bobbed up from the swirling waters about 500 yards from the falls near the sightseeing boat, Maid of the Mist. Hill's younger brother, Corky, and three friends in an outboard motor boat towed in the barrel. "He's not in it," Corky shouted to photographers, newsreel men and reporters in a nearby launch. The huge downpour of water, which drops at a rate of about 250,000 cubic feet a second had torn away four innertubes. The air mattress that had been inside the barrel had been thrown loose. Red's mother, Mrs. William Hill, Sr., sobbed when the barrel was brought to the landing. "Where is he? Where is he?" she cried. "That's my oldest boy and I want him." Hill had a wife and a 12-year-old daughter. Even after he heard the verdict, Walker maintained the stoic composure that characterized him throughout the two-month trial. But his mother, Mrs. Lillian Onque, 44, of Newark, N.J., collapsed in the court room.

(P) — Mothers and fathers of cadets facing dismissal from the U.S. Military academy for violating the school's honor code said today they would appeal to Congress' support of the youths' position. Some of the parents held an informal meeting here last night to plan ways to arouse nation-wide backing for the youths. They said they hoped people would write and wire congressmen to see that the cadets are given a fair deal. Meanwhile, head football coach Earl (Red) Blakik said he may have a statement some time during the afternoon outlining his position. There have been unconfirmed reports that Blakik may resign his job since the bulk of the Army football team is reported affected by the dismissal move. Several cadets said academy officials threatened them with loss of citizenship, perjury citations and prison terms before they admitted "cribbing" on examinations. A "stool pigeon" was used to Korean Battle Fronts Quiet U.S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea (P)—A lull on the battlefront Monday accompanied the temporary suspension of truce talks in Kaesong. Eighth Army reported only light patrol action across the peninsula. Allied artillery fire was called down on a red platoon in the area west of Yonchon on the western front and south of Kumsong on the central front. Cloudy weather slowed down aerial activity, but 19 B-29 superforts attacked a variety of targets in red Korea. Seven of the big planes hit rail yards at Kunu, where two main railroad lines from Manchuria converge. No anti-aircraft or enemy planes were encountered. British-Iranians Meet Tonight to Talk Settlement TEHRAN, Iran (P)—British and Iranian representatives were convened to a meeting tonight to be negotiations aimed at a settlement of the critical dispute over the nationalization by Iran of the Anglo-Iranian Oil company's holdings. The first session was to an exploratory one seeking a common ground for further discussions. Some light tanks patrolled streets and other precautions were taken against possible violent demonstrations. Today is Iranian national holiday. Sir Frances Shepherd, the British ambassador, said he did not know whether either side would submit a formal proposal of a list of items to be discussed. Certainly we will not confuse ourselves to inquiring about each others' health," the ambassador told reporters as he prepared to meet with the Iranians. The meeting was arranged at the Sueb Gharanieh palace, where the British delegation and President Truman's special envoy, W. Avo ill Harriman, are guests of the Shah. Harriman was not to sit in the meeting. He made it clear was not a negotiator and was not maling here only to be of help in the event of disagreement which might threaten the collapse of the talks. The sessions started as Irish celebrated her Constitution day—with patriotic demonstrations banned in fear of possible violent demonstrations which could snag the oil talks.

A "stool pigeon" was used to obtain information on the alleged cribbing, say a number of the cadets facing dismissal from West Point for violating the school's honor system. These allegations, immediately denied by an academy spokesman, were made yesterday as a special screening board started final examination of each cadet's case. Ninety cadets were accused Fridday of classroom cheating. Their identities were withheld, but slowly they and their parents were beginning to speak up in bitter criticism of the Army's action.

Please-Fire Talks Expected To Be Resumed on Wednesday; Joy, Ridgway in Conference Word from Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway that the stalled Korean armistice will be resumed was expected at any time today, but Wednesday appeared the earliest date the Allied negotiators could meet the reds again at Kaesong. Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy and three other members of the five-man United Nations nation flew to Tokyo late Monday and conferred privately with General Ridgway. An aide said later that General Ridgway was preparing a message of reply to the commander apology for presence of armed troops in Kaesong Saturday. However, Admiral Joy was at his home in Tokyo early today, so any resumption of the Kaesong meetings before Wednesday seemed only dimly possible. The supreme commander called off the talks Sunday.

Sessions started as Iran ratified her Constitution day — with patriotic demonstrations banned in fear of pos­iolent demonstrations which snagged the oil talks. However, Admiral Joy was at his home in Tokyo early today, so any resumption of the Kaesong meetings before Wednesday seemed only dimly possible. The supreme commander called off the talks Sunday morning. He charged the reds with “flagrant violation” of Kaesong’s neutrality. Late Monday afternoon Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, senior U.N. delegate, and three other Allied negotiators flew to Tokyo from Korea. They immediately went into conference with Ridgway at his headquarters. The conference ended several hours later when Ridgway returned to his home. In breaking off the talks Sunday morning, Ridgway demanded assurances that armed red troops would not again violate Kaesong’s neutrality. About 150 Chinese soldiers marched within a few hundred yards of the U.N. staff house during the luncheon recess Saturday. They carried rifles, machine guns and hand grenades. The reds apologized over Peiping radio Monday, and asked that talks be resumed immediately. They said it was an “accident,” and that steps were being taken to insure the incident wouldn’t be repeated. They also replied directly to Ridgway, but the text of that message was not disclosed.

Vinson Looms as Candidate for '52 Elections WASHINGTON (P)—New tal­c of Chief Justice Fred Vinson as a possible presidential candidate has cropped up among Capitol Hill Democrats. Vinson, as a Supreme Court Justice, isn’t in a position to say anything one way or the other, but some who profess to be his friends say the Chief Justice could be persuaded to leave the court and make the race even if Democratic chances don’t look too good next year. The Chief Justice is regarded as one of those who might be picked by President Truman to take his place as the nohninee if Mr. Tru­man decides he won’t run again. A Kentuckian and a former member of Congress, Vinson would be calculated to outliver the southern revolt that threatened to be more serious next year than it was in 1948 when President Truman lost four states to the Slave Rights ticket. Senator Kefauver (D-Tenn.) said yesterday at Portland, Ore., that he thought Mr. Truman could get the Democratic nomination and be elected in 1952 if he wanted the job. But, Kefauver said, he was not campaigning for Mr. Truman. While Vinson is looked upon as something of a conservative, he probably would be acceptable to most of the “fair deal” wing of the party because of his record of support for the Truman domestic and foreign polities. Mr. Truman continues to keep his best friends guessing about what he intends to do. DRUNK DRIVING INCREASE The California Highway Patrol arrested 3819 persons for drunk driving during the first six months of the year, an increase of 744 arrests, or 24.19 per cent, over the 3075 drivers cited for that offense in the same period of 1950, it was announced today. 'Peace' Rallies Staged by Youths in Red Berlin-America Contrast Sharply Two meetings of youth were held today in the interest of "world peace"—one in red-held Berlin and one in Ithaca, New York. They contrasted sharply. East Berlin was jammed with communist youth today for a "world peace festival" whose main theme was hatred of the United States and loyalty to Russia's Prime Minister Stalin. The tone for the 510,000,000 celebration was set yesterday in fiery speeches at the opening Hitler-style rally by East Germany's communist president Wilhelm Pieck. About 82,000 blue-shirted young communists crowded a sports arena in the Russian sector to hear him denounce the "American-English war-makers." In response, the youngsters roared lustily: "Long live the Soviet Union, which gives the great example of peaceful construction to the peoples." Long live the great leader in the world fight for the peaceful future of the peoples, Josef Vissarionavich Stalin." They heard a chunq; blonde, billed by festival officials as American Frances Damon, apologize for U.S. warmongers, who, she said, had prevented the youth of America from streaming to the fete. Only 11 persons identified as Americans were present. Pieck boasted that visitors had flocked to the communist-run sector of Berlin from 38 countries for the third annual 14-day pre-Soviet festival. Meanwhile, in Ithaca, N.Y., young people from 63 non-communist nations sought today, in the friendly atmosphere of an American college campus, to lay plans for working together toward a free and peaceful world. A message from President Truman launched the first triennial session of the World Assembly of Youth yesterday. He called the young people "the hope of the future." Secretary of State Acheson hailed the meeting as significant "because it is addressed to the future." Mine, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, India's ambassador to the United States, was to address a session today. About 500 delegates and observers, ranging in age from 18 to 30, arrived on the Cornell university campus over the week end. Their meetings will continue through Aug. 16.
