Alias Scorpion Waldo Hunter visited Twentynine Palms. He didn't like it. He said so in "Oblong Views." But, lots of people like the desert. One reader tells him so today, Page 4.

This emphatically sums up the general opinion of many persons in all walks of life, visitors and residents alike, as an aftermath of Anaheim’s 28th Annual Anaheim Hallowe’en Festival. In an official statement to the community, Mayor Charles Pearson said, “On behalf of the City Council I commend Stan Whieldon, general chairman, and the hundreds of citizens who contributed funds, time and skill to the finest exhibition of community spirit ever demonstrated in this city.” October Building Permits Increase Anaheim building picked up during the last month over the total for Oct. 1950.

God’s Orphanage Women Plead ‘Not Guilty’ Mrs. Julia Elizabeth Ward, 46, and Mrs. Carolyn Jane Munger, 25, pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial, which was set for next Jan. 14, when they were arraigned today before Superior Judge Kenneth E.

Al Riutcel, prominent Anaheim citizen, said, “The Hallowe’en Pageant Parade was by far the best in the history of the Hallowe’en Festival.” Grand Day “Anaheim should be proud of the Hallowe’en officials and the committees who gave us such a grand day of entertainment, clean fun and pleasure,” said Dr. Samuel Gendel. From Walter Swanberger, Anaheim clothing merchant, came this expression. “It was the best planned and executed and the most spectacular night parade ever held in Southern California. Every person in Anaheim can feel proud to be a member of such a progressive community.” Contempt Order Filed Against George Chula Mrs. Julia Elizabeth Ward, 46, and Mrs. Carolyn Jane Munger, 25, pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial, which was set for next Jan. 14, when they were arraigned today before Superior Judge Kenneth E. Morrison in Santa Ana on three counts based on asserted burning of pupils' wrists at the Bethel Christian school near Anaheim. Formally charged with violating Section 273-D of the Penal Code, relating to unjustifiable punishment, the two women were ordered to appear for trial before Superior Judge Franklin G. West on the January date. Meanwhile they are at liberty under $1000 bail each. District Attorney James L. Davis objected to delaying the trial to January, but Atty. King Caruthers of Fullerton, who represents the defendants, said he would be engaged in other trials until mid-January. Mrs. Ward is the wife of Rev. Tilford T. Ward, head of the school which is also known as "God's Orphanage." The complaint against her and Mrs. Munger charges that the offenses were committed Oct. 18, against Leonard Vuckan, 8, Richard Earle Carpenter, 8, and Raymond Charles Turner, 9. The women, it is charged, burned the boys wrists with matches to teach them a lesson, not to play with fire. The school is located on Brookhurst rd., adjacent to Manchester blvd., between Anaheim and Buena Park. Contempt Order Filed Against George Chula Citing half a dozen instances of asserted contempt of court on the part of George Chula, chief counsel for the defense of Henry Ford McCracken, convicted girl slayer, Superior Judge Robert Gardner today had filed his official order adjudging Chula guilty of contempt and sentencing him to serve 5 days in county jail. Filing of the order, which allows Chula a stay of execution for 10 days, to permit him to pursue an appeal, will form the basis of a petition by Chula to the appellate court for a writ setting aside the trial court sentence. Chula's associate, Attorney James Monroe, expects to present a petition to the higher court in San Bernardino today or Monday. The contempt order lists six separate charges of contempt during the McCracken insanity trial, which the contempt order called "part of a wilful and deliberate design to provoke incidents which would form the basis of a mistrial or which could be used as ground for reversal in the event of a judgement of conviction." Repeatedly throughout the trial Chula made unjustified charges (Continued on Page 8) Dissident Republicans announced plans for a meeting in Los Angeles Nov. 12 with the state government: "Do we still have the right to choose a delegation to the national convention, or must we submit to the will of one individual—the governor—who I know to be non-partisan?" Warren, at a news conference commented that the opposition faction has an "absolute right" to place its own slate of delegates on the 1952 presidential primary ballot. "It's a good way to settle issues," he said.

Shiya, 27 and serious injury of Victoria A. Zeide, last July 14. Named as defendants were Odis F. Revlea, owner and Robert Hendricks, driver of an automobile that collided with the car driven by Shiya at Orangethorpe ave., and Walker st., near Buena Park. Mrs. Mary Shiya, widow of Albert, filed suit on behalf of herself and their two children, Albert, Jr., and Mark, for $75,000 general damages for the loss of the husband and father; also $865 for funeral expenses and $300 for auto damage. WASHINGTON (UP)—Democrats may vie with Republicans for the political ear of Gen. Eisenhower on his return to Washington next week. An announcement by Senator Duff (R-Pa) that he expects to talk to Eisenhower during his visit about the 1952 Republican presidential nomination brought a statement by Senator Olin D. Johnston (D-SC) that he would like to discuss the Democratic nomination with the general. And all this prompted Senator Kofauver (D-Tenn) to tell a reporter he thinks Eisenhower's name might go before both conventions unless the general makes some direct statement on his political affiliations in the interim.

WASHINGTON (UP)—Next Monday's meeting between President Truman and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will provide the chief executive opportunity to pose a question of administrative as well as political import to him: Will Eisenhower leave his post of supreme commander of Allied powers in Europe to seek a presidential nomination in 1952? If so, the president undoubtedly would like to know that now so he can advise the other member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty organization, perhaps privately, they should begin thinking about someone to fill the job. Appointed Early this Year Eisenhower was appointed to the supreme command early this year at the request of the other 11 members of the NATO He was picked essentially because of his fame and personality while supreme commander of Allied forces in World War II, not primarily because he was an American. Whether the European members of NATO would want another American commander, like Gen. Omar Bradley, now chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, remains to be seen.

British Halt Shipment of Oil into Cairo CAIRO, Egypt (UP)—A British blockade of Egypt supply was reported today Egyptian rejection of the proposed Middle East defense pact resulted criticism from an operation newspaper here and more operations among other states. Interior minister Fouad El Din said the British from Suez Canal zone bastions had ed overland shipments into oil—but not of gasoline or scene—from the British-held heads at Port Suez. The embargo, he said, would starve Egypt for heavy industry within a few days and lead to "troubles and revolutions."

In at a news conference, it was stated that the opposition has an "absolute right" its own slate of delegates 1952 presidential primary. It good way to settle is said. Warren delegates in 1944 and 1948 were instructed to Warren as a favorite son candidate. He also headed the 1936 delegation before he became governor. Warren, GOP vice presidential candidate in 1948, hasn't let out his political plans for next year. It is the general belief here, however, that he will be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and that California's votes at the convention will be committed to him. The chief executive calls himself a Progressive Republican. He has said that if his party fails to go liberal in 1952, it can not win the national election. There have been other outcropings of hostility against Warren and his policies from the conservative wing. But whether any faction can wrest control from the Warren forces within the state remains questionable. Earl Tucker, 68, East Anaheim rancher residing on Rio Vista st., was instantly killed at 8:45 a.m. today when his pickup truck rammed the front corner of a west-bound Santa Fe locomotive and freight train at the Melrose st. crossing in Placentia. Engineer W. E. Jones, whose engine was pulling a 79-car train, told officials that the crossing signal was operating but that Tucker apparently had not noticed it. The truck was tossed 75 feet by the locomotive. Tucker's body was taken to the McCormick mortuary in Fullerton. He was unmarried and had no immediate family. Three other persons were injured in Orange county traffic accidents last night and caply today. Harry L. Elshire, 60, of Glendale, received major injuries when struck by an automobile driven by Charles Biller, 22, of Costa Mesa, at 11:45 p.m. yesterday. The accident took place on Newport blvd. near 21st st. in Costa Mesa. Elshire was taken to Santa Ana Community hospital. Richard D. Furgeson, 18, and Warren W. Norton, 27, both El Toro Marines, were injured at 4:25 a.m. today when Norton's car, with Furgeson at the wheel, ran over a curb and struck a palm tree at 415 N. Broadway, Santa Ana. Furgeson received a broken jaw and cuts on the face while Norton suffered lacerations of the face and right leg when both were hurled against the windshield. They were taken to El Toro base dispensary.

The intensification of Communist air activity, with increased losses of U.S. planes, can reopen the old question: Should a new effort be made to lift the ban on bombing Red air bases in Manchuria from which the Soviet-manufactured MIG-15 jet fighters are slashing at American bombers and fighters operating over Korea? Touchy Subject The question is a touchy one which Air Force officials prefer to discuss only in private and among themselves — remembering what happened to one advocate of the plan, Gen. Douglas MacArthur. They speak somberly of the difficulty of fighting an air war "with one arm tied behind you." The only opportunity U.N. Air Forces in Korea have to strike at Red air power mustered in Asia is the few fleeting seconds when enemy jets dart within range of U.N. plane guns. The strategy used in the European air campaign, of World War II, destroying enemy planes on the ground together with the air fields, is the other arm which the U.N. Air Force hasn't been able to use. Airmen feel that this is only nibbling at the fringes of Red air power. Capable Enemies In more than a half year of fighting the MIG's, fewer than 100 are known definitely to have been destroyed. Against this is the fact that the number of these entirely modern enemy jets, equal to the (Continued on Page 5)
