Court, Defense Wrangle In McCracken Trial Second murder trial of Henry Ford McCracken, charged with slaying Patty Hull, 10, of Buena Park, last May 19, in his motel cabin, was at recess today for another long week-end, until Tuesday morning, following a crackling court session yesterday afternoon. Clashes between the court and defense counsel occurred when the defense lawyers, who had already incurred judicial displeasure for going over the same ground many times in cross-examining witnesses, again started repetitive tactics during the cross-examination of Dr. Raymond Brandt, county autopsy surgeon. At one point, after Judge Robert Gardner had reprimanded Defense Attorney James Monroe for asking the same question of Dr. Brandt a fourth time, the defense lawyers indicated they might demand a mistrial because of the court's remarks. Judge Gardner quickly challenged them to make charges against him "for the record" and they immediately withdrew talk of mistrial. This clash took place outside the presence of the jury. It followed an earlier rebuke of Monroe by Judge Gardner when the defense lawyer persisted in trying to read into the record quotations from Gray's Anatomy, a medical text book, after the court had sustained Anaheim Optimists Ready to Launch Traffic Safety Plan for School Kids. Anaheim Elementary school teachers this morning were briefed on the Child Safety Campaign recently inaugurated by the local Optimist club by its president, Harwood Larson. About 80 teachers met in the auditorium of Fremont Junior High school for a pre-school meeting with officials of the school district. H. H. Stabbert, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Elementary school district, welcomed the teachers. Superintendent Paul Cook reviewed plans for the coming school year. Frank Mattox and Mrs. Forrest Simonton represented the Teachers' Assn. and Anaheim P-TA Council. Larson called attention to the safety signs painted by the Optimists on intersection crosswalks in the vicinity of the schools exhibited the safety pledges parents of school children will be asked to sign and outlined the beginning of the program in San Gabriel valley. He pointed out that 2500 children in Anaheim schools will be exposed to the teaching of safety rules in the schools. They, in turn, will be urged to carry the campaign to their parents in the form of pledges and their teachers' instructions. "In this manner we expect that about 5000 parents will be reached by our safety campaign," Larson said, "and we feel that 5000 adults setting an example of safety on the streets will have a powerful effect in influencing others." Larson asked the full co-operation of the teachers in carrying on the campaign, which, he said, Magnolia Line Underway Again Materials have begun to flow again to the Magnolia Trunk Sewer construction, executive directors of the Joint Outfall Sewer learned last night, and construction is going ahead full-blast. Anaheim City Engineer George Holyoke said today that if all goes well, all pipe in all four sections of the sewer should be in the ground by Sept. 20. Additional time until the trunk is put into operation will depend on the availability of pumps and motors and the amount of time needed to "point up" the sections of plastic-lined concrete pipe. Holyoke explained that "pointing-up" is the process of welding plastic strips to the Amerco lining of the pipe where butts ends meet. Judge Harmon of the California Department of Health, and Dr. Edward Lee Russell, Orange county health officer, attended the meeting which was largely devoted to means of handling the current overflow sewage situation, which has reached critical proportions in Anaheim and Santa Ana. quickly challenged them to make charges against him "for the record" and they immediately withdrew talk of mistrial. This clash took place outside the presence of the jury. It followed an earlier rebuke of Monroe by Judge Gardner when the defense lawyer persisted in trying to read into the record quotations from Gray's Anatomy, a medical text book, after the court had sustained prosecution objections. Dr. Brandt, questioned by Monroe, had declared that he did not consider Gray's Anatomy an authority on the subject of the testimony, which dealt with the condition of Patty Hull's body when she was found buried in Live Oak canyon five days after her death. Acting to cope with what he apparently regarded as dilatory tactics by the defense, and also to make up for interruptions by legal holidays on two successive Mondays, Judge Gardner announced that court sessions would be lengthened next week.

Warning to Motorists Our public schools will open Monday, Sept. 10. Hundreds of children will be upon our streets, many of them going to school for the first time. Some children will be nervous and excited because of this, and may dart out across the street into the paths of oncoming cars. Please be prepared for any such incident by driving your car in a safe, careful manner, thereby saving a life or serious injury to a child, also, saving yourself the terrible mental anguish that comes to motorists after such an accident. Remember the school zone speed limit is 15 miles per hour. Lets all co-operate and keep Anaheim safe for our children. Mark A. Stephenson, Chief of Police. DIGGERS DISCOVER WORLD WAR II BOMB LONDON (P)-An earth-moving machine, excavating for a building site yesterday, struck what appeared to be a heavy stone. It was a Nazi bomb dropped during World War II. An army explosives expert removed the fuse in a ticklish 15-minute operation.

Gromyko Death Clean Treaty Sw Reds Reject Allied Notes: Fight Sharpens TOKYO (AP) — New communist notes swirled today in the brimming cauldron of wasted swords that left peace in Korea as remote as ever. Sharp fighting flashed again on the explosive western front while the Kaesong armistice talks remained suspended for the 15th straight day. Two Allied outposts fought their way out of Chinese red traps northwest of Chorwon. The main United Nations line Warrior Thanks Red Cross for Shaving Kit Some time ago Anaheim chapter, American Red Cross, asked help of women in Anaheim to get out an emergency quota of 200 kit bags. The response was so good that the quota was finished in record time and shipped to San Diego for distribution to men leaving for Korea. Today the chapter received the following air mail letter on Red Cross stationery: Thurs., Aug. 25, 1951. North of the 38th. Dear Members: I just finished putting my shaving bag away. The San Diego branch gave it to me when I was drafted in December. It has been with me ever since and is now serving its purpose here in Korea. So I just wanted to say thanks a lot. Your gift was appreciated. Pfc. John Locke. One of the chapter's labels is sewed in each bag or other article made by Production Service. The chapter hopes that each worker who helped with the bags will feel that this letter is addressed to her. Local Linguist Aids Jap Confab Albert Caracause, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Caracausa, 883 S.

The new red notes rejected the latest Allied denials of responsibility for neutrality zone violations at Kaesong, Korea. There was no red answer to Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's insistence on selection of a new truce site. Red China's Peiping radio broadcast the two new messages from North Korean Lt. Gen. Nam Il, senior red delegate, to Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, top U.N. negotiator. Both notes rejected Joy's three denials Tuesday of red charges as "completely unsatisfactory." One note brushed aside Joy's insistence that no Allied plane dropped a flare inside the Kaesong neutral zone the night of Aug. 29. "Your side's grave responsibility for these incidents can by no means be turned aside by your message which disregards the facts and denies everything," Nam said. "Moreover, your side must also accept the heavy responsibility for the fact that from Aug. 29 up to the present your military aircraft have persisted in unscruppable name, continued today." At the same time, M brought applause and laughter. Hurricane Sets Florida Course MIAMI (F) — "Easy," it mighty hurricane with the ridiculous name, continued today; churn ominously over a west-northwest course aimed at coast of Florida. The next 24 hours, the Miami weather bureau said, may determine whether the dangerous tropical storm eventually will strike somewhere along the U.S. main land or run a harmless course over the open waters of the Atlantic.

DEATH PLOT FOILED BY FBI; DUTY SWEEP SEEN FOR UN SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The FBI said it heard a report that White Russians would try to kill the Soviet's Andrei Gromyko today by crashing a beer truck into his automobile. State patrolmen and police from two countries formed a heavily armed motor cordon around the Russian delegates to the Japanese peace treaty conference, as they drove the 17 miles from Hillsborough this morning. As they topped a hill, just south of San Francisco, on seeming Bay-shore highway, an overturned truck blocked the two northbound traffic lanes. Stalled behind the overturned vehicle were two beer trucks. Sirens screaming, the escorting police headed around the wreck at 70 miles an hour into the lanes used by incoming traffic. All HELAND—MacARTHUR CRITICIZES NATIONS LEADERS— General of the Army Douglas MacArthur last night declared that leaders" no longer can be trusted because they have lost the military victory gained in the second world war.

MacArthur Brands Administration Trustworthy In Cleveland Talk CLEVELAND (P) — A new wave of speculation about Douglas MacArthur's political intentions rose today folg a speech in which he again attacked the Truman adtribution and said its leaders are not to be trusted. At the same time, MacArthur made a remark that right applause and laughter from Ohioans, some of whom thought he was referring to Senator Robert Taft. He had praised Ohio's contributions to "leadership, past and contemporary." Then, pausing and smiling, he said: "Indications multiply that this leadership may even increase in the not too distant future." After the speech, the General's aide, Major-Gen. Courtney Whitney declined to amplify when a reporter asked him if the statement referred to Taft. "You'll have to do your own guessing," Whitney said. MacArthur cited the State department as an example of what he called a "steady drift toward totalitarian rule." He said the department is assuming the character of a "prime ministry." The federal government, he said, is moving toward greater centralization of power, adopting a "paternalistic relationship" to the pri- As they topped a hill just south of San Francisco, on seeming Hayshore highway, an overturned truck blocked the two northbound traffic lanes. Stalled behind the overturned vehicle were two beer trucks. Sirens screaming, the escorting police headed around the wreck at 70 miles an hour into the lanes used by oncoming traffic. All cars in the motorcade got by safely. Some carrying newsmen had narrow escapes. The California Highway Patrol said the driver of the overturned truck was William V. Voile, 34, of San Francisco. The patrol said Voile told them he had to swerve his meant truck, carrying 6,000 pounds of bacon, to avoid a collision with another car. Indonesia decided today to sign the Japanese peace treaty, therby detsroying Russia's last chance of blocking a solid lineup of noncommunist nations in the San Francisco conference. The decision taken by the government in Jakarta came as the conference hummed with speculation that Soviet delegate Andrei Gromyko, and his communist cohorts would walk out before the treaty is signed. It was believed he might act after Poland's scheduled speech late today or wait until just before the signing ceremony begins, probably Saturday morning. Foreign Minister Ahmad Soebardjo of Indonesia addressed the conference before he had received his new instructions from Jakarta to sign. The information minister of the government there announced after a two-hour cabinet meeting that the decision to join the meeting had been taken by a narrow margin. Soebardjo told the conference his delegation had come here not because it "agreed to all provisions of the treaty, but because (the conference) was an effort to bring peace to the world." Philippines Foreign Secretary Carlos P. Romulo, in a full-dress speech, declared the treaty sponsored by the United States and Britain "falls short in certain re- "You'll have to do your own guessing," Whitney said. MacArthur cited the State department as an example of what he called a "steady drift toward totalitarian rule." He said the department is assuming the character of a "prime ministry." The federal government, he said, is moving toward greater centralization of power, adopting a "paternalistic relationship" to the private individual, and is guilty of the "suppression of personal liberties." Speaking of the nation's leaders, heasked: "By what faith can we find hope in those whose past judgments so grievously erred? Can they now be blindly trusted?" Cries of "No, no! came from the audience.
