McCraeken When juror Marvin Stock asked her what color the living room was painted, she said it was "shocking pink, the newest thing you know," and smiled. She sped with defense counsel Geo Chula on cross-examination as questioned her regarding the construction of the cabin also regarding her earlier statement that she thought it was "odd" that McCraken's first renting the cabin was to pay a padlock on the door. She plained she thought it was unusual because at that time he not moved in any of his possessions. She did not furnish bedding or bedding, she said. Judge Gardner rebuked associate defense counsel James Monroe one point when Monroe broke into Chula's cross-examination the witness to protest a court ruling. "One at a time," the judge said.

(P)—A dangerous hurricane hit Tampoco with full fury this morning. Houses were wrecked. Fifteen persons were reported injured by flying roofs. Electric power was cut off to prevent fallen wires from killing people in the streets. Firemen rescued 25 families from the wreckage of their homes. The only casualties reported up to 9:30 a.m. PDT were the 15 hurt by flying roofs. The terrific storm hit about 7:30 a.m. PDF in the midst of a deluge of rain. The weather bureau estimated the wind's force at 78 miles an hour. The greatest force of 130 miles an hour at the hurricane's center passed only about 60 miles east of Tampico. The storm's fury was such that Associated Press correspondent Robert Allen, on his way to the city, was unable to drive his car across the Tamesi river, on the mainland side of the peninsula on which Tampico stands. Veteran Tampico newsmen described it as the worst storm to hit the city in 15 years. Many lives were lost and the city badly wrecked in the last big hurricane of 1936. MORE ABOUT . . .

The council decided to submit its controversy over rental charges with the Waste Water Disposal Co., which serves the Northern Orange county oil fields through the JOS system, to arbitration. The city has asked a raise in rates from $45 to $75 per million gallons. A tentative plan considered was to let three engineers decide the question within 30 days if the city and the company have not come to terms within that time. In the event arbitration fails, the city will either have to take the case to court or give the company notice to vacate. Local printers have been loath to bid on the city's forthcoming codification of ordinances, mainly because they cannot get figures on how voluminous the material will be, City Clerk Charles Griffith told the council. He estimated that cost of the printing will not exceed $500. The council decided to leave handling of the matter up to Griffith and the city administrator, Keith Murdoch. Councilmen authorized advertising for bids on cast iron water pipe which Murdoch recommended the city buy in anticipation of possible shortages in the future. The bids will involve 6000 feet of 12-inch pipe, 10,000 feet of 8-inch pipe and 12,500 feet of 6-inch pipe, all cement-lined. The 12-inch pipe is scheduled for use on Center and Los Angeles sts., as recommended by the Fire Underwriters of the Pacific for improvements of Anaheim's fire-fighting potentialities.

"Cases involving any unusual problems about which the director or the Chief Underwriter might have doubts as to the effect on marketability of title or risk of damage to the property shall be submitted to Washington prior to the issuance of waiver letters, accompanied by full information and recommendations of the Chief Underwriter and director." The import of this authority is that the local insuring office must certify that, in their opinion, there is adequate protection for the continuing residential use of the surface of the parcel or parcels under consideration and that there will be no encroachment onto the surface of any development customary to oil field exploration which might cause depreciation of the property for residential use. However, properties may be leased for oil exploration provided the activities are carried on by directional drilling and far enough removed from residential properties to obtain adequate protection with no installation being permitted on the surface of the property covered by our insured loan. In every case the decision as to a waiver is analyzed upon the basis of the documents and data submitted and each case must stand on its own merits. Very truly yours. H. V. DAVIDSON, Director.

Whitnall's ordinance may form the basis for future oil control in Anaheim, but it will be subject to any change or revision the Planning commission or council may see fit to make, subject of course, to competent legal advice. Rumors that a petition to recall the present City Council is being circulated in the predominantly Mexican district on Kemp, Patt and Julianna sts. were checked yesterday by the Gazette and were found to be groundless. Osteoblite reason for the recall movement was that the City Fathers exceeded their authority in signing a lease for a drill site on city-owned, industrial-zone property off Kemp and Julianna sts. A Gazette reporter could find no support for such a movement and, indeed, could find no residents who had even heard of it. The Masciel Market at the corner of Patt and Julianna sts. might be expected to be a sort of clearing house for neighborhood political activities, yet the clerk and owner had heard nothing of such a petition. a waiver is analyzed upon the basis of the documents and data submitted and each case must stand on its own merits.

And, attacking the problem from another angle, Major Clark said that while he was lucky and wasn't one of the many to be wounded in active duty, he had blood plasma administered to him during the time here in Anaheim as a civilian. He became very ill and the Red Cross gave him an emergency transfusion. Major Clark's appeal to Anaheim people to contribute to the blood bank, which will be in Anaheim Friday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., curries the weight and knowledge of experience behind it. He knows, as few of us realize, what is needed to help our war wounded and civilian casualties. The Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring this effort on Anaheim's part to help in every way to save as many lives as possible, not only from the toll of war, but in civilian emergencies. A Red Cross blood bank will be in Anaheim one day only, Friday, Aug. 24, 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Ebell clubhouse. Appointments may be made by calling the Red Cross at the city hall, 2065. Kenny Banks, publicity chairman for the Junior Chamber of Commerce, states that Anaheim's quota of 200 pints of blood will Realistic Midget Tank Brings Chaos LONDON UK—Ann Tamplin built a 280-pound radio-controlled model tank and turned it loose on the living room floor. The tank, a four-foot-long squat monster of aluminum alloy and bronze, got out of control. It rumbled about the room smashing furniture, fusing lights and frightening Mrs. Tamplin half to death. Inventor Tamplin was marooned on a table top until the tank finally ground to a stop in the wreckage. Tamplin brought the tank to London today for a demonstration at the Model Engineer's exhibition. He says he has the controls working properly now and it will lay a smokescreen, fire three rounds of ammunition from its turret gun or squirt jets of water at only little boys who try to tamper with it. Mrs. Tamplin still calls it "that horror."
