New Welding Class at FJC "Heliarc" welding, the newest development in arc welding, is now among the skills taught in the metal work courses at Fullerton junior college, according to Charles W. Hart, instructor. Fullerton is the first school in Orange county to add this method to those taught in its metal courses. The new process is only one of a complete range of methods taught in the Fullerton junior college shops to prepare students for the jobs in metal fabrication and designing and construction of metals. Opportunities in the metal work field are numerous, said Hart. He receives more calls from industry for workers than the men apparently let the fuse to allow them but they failed to conceive heavy vapors escaping barrel of fuel.

Weiss was seriously burned in the fire that also killed two men. One of dead men was identified as a New York detective. The other as another suspected arsonist. (Associated Press Wirephoto.)

Gasoline Explosion NEW YORK (AP) — A furtive, drawn-out plot to burn a small clothing firm to collect $20,000 insurance backfired today into triple arrests after two men died in a thunderous, million-dollar blast and fire. The victims were a city detective and one of the alleged arsonists he had trailed into a nine-story Manhattan business building last night. The structure was wrecked when 55 gallons of gasoline blew up. Another detective was blown through a wall, and a second accused "torch" was thrown five stories down an elevator shaft, landing in the basement atop an elevator car. Both were seriously hurt. The terrific explosion, which police said fumbling arsonists had planned as only a minor one, shattered windows for blocks around. The fire raged out of control for more than three hours. The building was on West 18th st., just off Fifth ave. Charged with homicide and arson were Al Keshner, 42-year-old president of a sports coat firm on the building's fifth floor, and two alleged hirerlings, Jack Weiss, 67, and Jake Mayron, 59. The other alleged arsonist—named as the man who set off the fuse and who died in the ensuing holocaust—was Moe Shapiro. Assistant District Attorney Al Herman said Keshner admitted that discouragement over loss of an account had led him to hire the gang for $1,350 to burn his plant so he could collect on the insurance. “It’s one of the most unusual crimes I’ve seen,” said Detective Chief Conrad Rothengast. Detectives, who had been watching the four men for 40 days, reconstructed this finale of the plot: An open drum had been filled with gasoline—far too much for burning Keshner’s plant—and a fuse of cord strung out some distance from the drum. The men apparently expected the fuse to allow them to escape, but they failed to consider the heavy vapors escaping from the barrel of fuel. 4-H’ers at Fair Reach New High Participation of 4-H club members in the State Fair reached a new high this year. Demonstrations, livestock entries and attendance by club members surpassed other years, reports Farm Advisor H. W. Longfellow of the University of California Agricultural Extension Service who recently visited the Fair with 28 delegates from Orange county. Judging events attracted much interest with 185 exhibitors showing livestock including 311 dairy animals, 218 hogs, 197 sheep, and 98 beef animals. The clothing exhibit which included garments that club members made in their projects attracted 326 entries by that many girls. This was the first year that clothing exhibits were held at the Fair.

A Sister’s Poem to Warrior Brother SOMEWHERE... KOREA (P)—A 12-year-old girl in Oklahoma wrote a poem to her brother fighting in Korea. The poem—written by Sharon Annette James to Sgt. Lawrence James, of Newkirk, Odia: “THANK YOU SOLDIER!” “If you’re going to Korea Do one favor please, for me When you reach the hermit kingdom Close beside the Yellow sea As you walk among our soldiers Anyplace you chance to go Leave this message as a landmark “Sharin sends her thanks to Joe.” “Thank you soldier for your giving Thank you soldier for the way That you place the price of freedom Bove the dreams of yesterday Thank you soldier for your courage Though outnumbered by the foe From her heart, her flag, her country Sharon sends her thanks to Joe.” A few days later, Sharon learned that her brother had been killed in action—before she wrote the poem. The piece was mailed anyway to the men of James' outfit by the dead soldier's mother. MORE ABOUT McCracken Continued from Page 1 If McCracken's account were true. Dr. Rice further substantiated Dr. Brandt's testimony that there was evidence on Patty's body of a sexual attack after her death.

Considered an outstanding authority on these matters, he will be called by the prosecution to back the findings of Dr. Brandt and Dr. Rice.

Lana Turner Sheds Bob Topping HOLLYWOOD (T)—Lana Turner is calling it quits after three years of marriage with millionaire sportsman Henry J. (Bob) Topping. They quarreled several weeks ago. Topping left home, ostensibly on a fishing trip. Miss Turner's movie studio finally confirmed rumors that all was not well in the Topping household. It issued a statement that the couple had disagreed but that the situation might be clarified later when Topping returned from a trip. Topping isn't back from the trip. Miss Turner's studio announced yesterday that she is taking "immediate steps to effect a legal separation." Her lawyer, Arnold Grant, is to begin conferences in Chicago shortly with Topping's attorneys. They will try to effect a property settlement and details of the legal separation. Miss Turner said she has no definite plans "at the moment" about instituting a divorce action." Her marriage to the tinplate heir April 26, 1948, was a lavish and costly affair, held in the home of W. R. Wilkerson, publisher of a Hollywood trade paper. It was Lana's fourth marriage. Her first was to handleader Artie Shaw, her second and third to restaurateur Stephen Crane. She had her first to Crane annuited on the grounds his divorce decree wasn't final when she married him. Remarried, they parted a year later. Between Crane and Topping Lana was squired to Hollywood parties from time to time by several eligibles, Turkan Bay, Rory Calhoun and Bob Hutton among them, but her romance with Tyrone Power was tabbed by many as the real thing. It ended very quickly. Power returned from making a movie in Italy and a short time later Miss Turner was seen in the company of other men. Power married actress Linda Christian. NELSON D.

Atomic Energy May Replace Canning ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Atomic energy may force the canning kettle to the sidelines one day along with the spinning wheel and celluloid collar. Food preservation by atomic irradiation on an experimental basis has been achieved by University of Michigan researchers. Prof. Lloyd E. Brownell of the college of engineering, who is supervisor of the project, reported it today. He said several samples of raw beef have been exposed to the gamma rays without development of spoilage or odor or appreciable change in color. Also subjected to the rays and now being studied are bananas, red plums, peaches, cherries, grapes, red raspberries and blueberries. Prof. Brownell said that normal methods of preservation—canning, freezing and refrigeration, drying and dehydration, smoking, salting and use of chemical preservatives—all tend to modify the flavor, texture and food value. In irradiation, milk, meat, fruit and vegetables are exposed to gamma rays emitted from a cobalt cylinder encased in a lead vault. This has destroyed or inactivated certain bacteria and enzymes which cause spoilage and decay in various perishable products, Prof. Brownell said. The U. of M. scientist believes that if applied on a commercial scale this process could save millions of dollars lost on food spoilage each year. Dr. Brownell said that food exposed to rays is not radioactive because its nuclear structure has not been changed. JUMPING JIM AIDS NAVY TESTS Leaping into the unknown is old hat for James R.
