Sheriff Charges Orphanage Aid Abused Children Two officials of God’s Orphanage at 8211 Brookhill Ave., Anaheim, (Just off Maidchester blvd. between Anaheim and Buena Park) were rested today by sheriff’s officers and booked on a felon charge of unjustifiable punishment of children. The arrest was touched off with the Sheriff’s office was told that three boys, 8, 9 and 9 years old, had been burnt with kitchen matches “to test them a lesson.” Mrs. Julia Elizabeth Ward, wife of the head of the orphanage and Mrs. Carolyn Munger, secretary, were taken to the sheriff’s office in Santa Ana for booking at about 2:30 this afternoon. Tford T. Ward, evangelistic minister and head of the orphanage was not present when the alleged burning took place. Sgt. Russell Campbell, in charge of the investigation, said he had been told that Mrs. Munger had the boys while Mrs. Ward applied the matches to their fingers. “They told me that they prayed.” 'Sane' Verdict Returned Against McCracken; Judge To Read Sentence Friday Henry Ford McCracken, 34 year old milbilly guitar player who murdered Patty Jean Hull, 10, at his motel cabin in Buena Park last May 19, today found himself nearing the end of the trail leading to San Quentin's gas chamber. A superior court jury blasted his last defense late yesterday after 58 minutes of deliberation in returning a verdict that he was sane at the time of the sex slaying. Judge Robert Gardner will sentence him to death next Friday, Oct. 26, at 10 a.m., unless a defense motion for a new trial is granted. After that, McCracken's only hope of evading the gas chamber rests in an automatic appeal of the verdicts and judgment to the State Supreme Court. McCracken appeared to lose the stolid, vacant expression he has worn through the four weeks of his mistrial, the six weeks of the second murder trial, and the two weeks of the insanity trial. When the verdict was read, he ducked his head, frowned at the table in front of him, and evinced for the first time an expression of worry. He did not lift his eyes again until the jury had left the courtroom and his attorney, George Chula, notified the court that he would move for a new trial when McCracken appears for sentence. As McCracken was led back to jail, handcuffed, by Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff Herman Stahl, reporters asked him whether he had anything to say. "I guess there's not much to say," McCracken muttered. Then, after a pause, he turned and said "Everybody was against me here."

The suit, filed through the Santa Ana law firm, Rutan, Tucker, Howell and Tucker, and A. E. Chandler, prominent San Francisco water lawyer, asks the court to determine and adjudicate the water rights of the four defendant cities in the Santa Ana river and to restrain them from use of water beyond their rights. Attorney A. W. Rutan explained that the suit is based upon the legal contention that cities do not have rights to any underground water, and that the four cities named in the suit have only such SUCCEEDS LIAQUAT — Sir Kwaja Nazimuddin (above), governor general of Pakistan, has taken charge of government as Prime Minister replacing the late Liaquat Ali Khan, the All India radio at New Delhi host—(Associated Press Wirephoto.) Few Pakistan Policy Changes Anticipated KARACHI, Pakistan (AP)—Pakistan's new government — which officially starts functioning today — is expected to make little change in the late Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan's policies at home and abroad. People who know Liaquat's successor, former Governor General Khwaja Nazimuddin, predict he will stick close to the national program of reform and growth laid down by his predecessor. Liaquat, first prime minister of the four-year-old Moslem nation, was shot to death Tuesday by a fanatic Afghan. Toward the United States, Nazimuddin likely will follow Liaquat's example of friendliness. Francisco water lawyer, asks the court to determine and adjudicate the water rights of the four defendant cities in the Santa Ana river and to restrain them from use of water beyond their rights. Attorney A. W. Rutan explained that the suit is based upon the legal contention that cities do not have rights to any underground water, and that the four cities named in the suit have only such prescriptive rights to water as they have established through continued use. If successful, the present injunction suit would limit them to the average amount of water they have used during the past five years. It is stated. Filing of the suit resulted from growing concern of water district officials and other Orange county water interests at what the local interests regard as illegal appropriation of water from the Santa Ana basin. Rapid growth of these cities has materially increased their recent use of water, to the detriment of the water supply under which Orange county depends, as the injunction complaint points out. If limited to the average consumed during the past five year period, the defendant cities would be required to cut back their present water consumption materially, it is said. The complaint on file recites that the Orange County Water district is empowered by law to take steps necessary to prevent interference with the natural flow of any stream or underground water supply "useful for any purpose to the district or for the (Continued on Page 5) UN Council Drops Iran-British Oil Controversy NEW YORK (AP) — The United Nations Security Council decided today to drop its debate in the British-Iranian oil dispute until the International Court of Justice can rule on the council's legal competence to deal with the question. Russell Campbell, in charge of investigation, said he had told that Mrs. Munger held boys while Mrs. Ward applied matches to their fingers. They told me that they prayed the boys after they burned so that there would be no burns." Campbell said. Campbell said he picked up a sash cord which was already used for beating the child who live and go to school orphanage. Three victims of the burn-whose names were not real, were taken first to the office for photographing, to the Orange County hospital treatment and are being protected custody by juvenile authorities. In his handling of relations with neighboring India — the dispute over Kashmir and other conflicts — his associates expect Nazimuddin to be as firm as the man who preceded him. But not necessarily more firm, they quickly added. The short, stocky Nazimuddin already has gained political stature among his people by his willingness to step down, in effect, from his post as governor general to become prime minister.

NEW YORK (UP) — The United Nations Security Council decided today to drop its debate in the British-Iranian oil dispute until the International Court of Justice can rule on the council's legal competence to deal with the question. This means a delay of weeks, if not months, in further consideration of the case, which Britain contended is threatening the peace in the Near East. The postponement was proposed by French Delegate Francis Lacoste after it became apparent the council was so badly split on the question of competence that no positive action was possible. The vote was 8 to 1, with Russia casting the only negative vote. No veto was involved, however, since the question was of a procedural nature, Britain, as a party to the dispute, and Yugoslavia abstained. Iran's aged Premier Mohammed Mossadegh had fought council intervention bitterly on the ground that the oil dispute was a domestic question and thus not subject to U.N. action. He was backed by Russia and several other council members. When the postponement was voted neither Mossadegh nor any other representative of Iran was present. They had taken part in the week of debate here at Flushing Meadows, but had announced at Wednesday's session that they had expressed their views and would not participate further.
