Thirteen Santa Ana Lawyers Rally to Defense of Chula Attacking the contempt order by which Superior Judge Robert Gardner sentenced Henry McCracken’s attorney, George Chula, to five days in jail, thirteen prominent attorneys rallied to Chula’s defense today and joined in a petition to the District Court of Appeal, asking that the sentence be set aside. This morning they obtained an appellate court order directing Judge Gardner to show cause why the contempt sentence should not be set aside. Hearing of the matter was set for Nov. 13, and the court granted Chula a stay of execution of sentence until after the hearing. His stay of execution previously granted by Judge Gardner would have expired tomorrow after which he would have been forced to start serving the jail term. The appellate court petition’s signatures were headed by attorney O. A. Jacobs of Santa Ana, who conducted the successful defense of Beulah Louis Overell, Los Angeles heiress, charged with murdering her parents at Newport Harbor in 1947. Others signing the petition, which contends that Judge Gardner was in error and exceeded his jurisdiction in sentencing Chula to jail for contempt of court during the McCracken insanity trial, including Jacob’s son and law partner, Robert H. Jacobs; Winthrop O. Gordon, Robert C. Mize and his law partner daughter, Marjorie Mize; Delbert L. Larsh, Ira Croese, Robert B. Webb, Jack J. Rimel and James C. Monroe, Chula’s associate, all of Santa Ana; also John Solomon of Laguna Beach and Joseph A. Ball, prominent Long Beach attorney. Attorneys Robert Jacobs and James Monroe went to San Bernardino to present the petition, which asks for a writ of certioari, to require that the full transcript of the insanity trial record be produced before the higher court for its examination; that Judge Gardner be required to desist from further proceedings until the case is reviewed; that the contempt order be vacated and set aside as being in excess of the jurisdiction of the trial judge. The petition cited various court decisions in support of its contentions. It declared that if the jail sentence is carried out, Chula’s professional reputation would be irreparably injured.

Short Cut Ends In Brutal Death For Santa Anan Attempting to cross through a moving freight train by climbing between two box cars, Arthur Bernard Staggs, 31, of Santa Ana, civilian employee at the El Toro Marine base, was ground to death under the wheels of the train shortly before 6:30 a.m. today at the Fourth st. crossing of the Santa Fe tracks in Santa Ana. His reason for not wating until the train passed remained a mystery, but it was speculated that he may have been hurrying to meet a fellow employee, to get a ride to the Marine base. He had parked his own car near the Southern Pacific depot, adjacent to the Santa Fe tracks where it was located by police later. Fred McCandless, employee of a Santa Ana realty firm, was seated at the wheel of his car, waiting for the train to clear the crossing when the accident took place. The train was moving at about five miles per hour when McCandless said he saw the boxcars start bucking and jumping, as if passing over object. One car was almost derailed, he stated. Then he saw the body under the wheels. About 10 cars passed over the body before it was thrown clear, after being dragged 70 feet, McCandless told police. As the caboose passed him McCandless hall- (Continued on Page 8) Benefit Turkey Shoot Scheduled At Local Range A benefit turkey shoot will be held Nov. 17 and 18 at Anaheim Rifle and Pistol Assn. range, E.

ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETE papar ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1951 Anaheim Red Cross Lays Plans For Welfare Referral Service The Anaheim Chapter of the American Red Cross is planning to offer a welfare referral service through its local office and secretary, Mrs. Kathryn Wheeler. Ministers, agency, club, and organization officials, school authorities, and other citizens are invited to phone the chapter office for information about where to send persons who need welfare help of one kind or another. The local Red Cross offered such a service to the community recently and also prepared for it when a committee of the Board of Directors headed by the Rev. John K. Saville called a meeting of the representatives of all organizations doing any type of welfare work. The Rev. Mr. Saville presided and explained that the purpose was to offer the facilities of the Red Cross to establish a sort of clearing house for relief work done by various agencies in Anaheim and vicinity. Present were: Dr. D. S. Corlett, representing Anaheim Ministerial Association; T. P. Douglas, Department of Social Welfare, Orange county; Milford G. Johnson, Kathryn Wheeler, Anaheim Chapter, American Red Cross. These agency representatives all spoke favorably for their groups, and explained what their respective organizations were prepared to do. Several organizations which have been invited but were not able to send a representative to this meeting sent word of their appreciation and desire to co-operate by listing with the Red Cross the details o. the welfare work they are able to offer. Among these were the Assistance League, Elks, PTA Council, the Catholic Welfare, the Orange County Veterans' Welfare Association, the Anaheim Police Department, and the Church Association of Anaheim. Thomas P. Douglas, director of Orange County Department of Social Welfare, spoke of the work of his office. He said that practically any eligible person could be helped either on an emergency or other basis, if his office is notified. Applicants coming at night or over the weekend, when the office is closed, should be referred to the police, who will notify the Optimists Slate Gigantic Auction Late This Month What with playing host at the Anaheim-Newport Beach football game to some 200 members of the Optimist's Knot Hole Gang and regular dinner meeting slated at Mother's Kitchen for the same night, it proved a busy evening for the local club. Because the game, normally scheduled for Friday night, was unexpectedly changed to Thursday, every elementary school throughout the high school district from Cypress to Katella was notified. Under the leadership of second vice-president and boys work chairman Louis Larson, by a dozen Optimizers, the enthusiastic Knot Hole crowd, located in their own rooting section, yelled themselves hoarse as the Anaheim Colonists won a hard fought victory. Divulged for the first time at mother's Kitchen were plans for gigantic auction to be held sometime the last of this month, according to Al Garey, the club's first vice-president and chairman of the event, a professional auctioneer will donate his services. The event is slated for a two-night land. Tex Middleton has volunteered his DeSoto and Plymouth showrooms in which to hold the sale. Already merchandise of every description has been pledged from manufacturers and wholesellers throughout Orange county. This is all new merchandise.

Assembly Receives Complaint from Yugoslavia in Regard to Reds Making War on Marshall Tito’s People PARIS (D)—The United States called on Russia today to start immediate talks in the United Nations on disarmament instead of waiting until some time before June of next year. U.S. Ambassador Philip C. Jesup threw out the challenge at a specially called news conference where he also charged the Russians with trying to bypass the U.N. in asking for a world-wide meeting on arms reduction. The U.N. Assembly itself received a formal complaint from Yugoslavia that Russia and her satellites are trying to drive their peoples to the point of making war on Marshal Tito's lone wolf communist state. Yugoslavia has made many charges against Russia and the other communist nations since Tito split with the Cominform in 1948, but this was the first formal complaint of that nature filed with the U.N. NEW YORK, Nov. 9—ANNOUNCE END OF DOCK STRIKE—Resumption of work on struck New York piers was assured when these three men announced early today a settlement in 25-day strike of dock workers.

Warren to State His Plans in Coming Week SACRAMENTO (AP) — Governor Warren said today he will announce within a week whether he will seek the Republican nomination for president in 1952. His statement came at a news conference in response to a letter sent out by state Republican leaders yesterday urging him to run for president. “This request came suddenly,” he said, “and I do not believe it calls for a hasty answer. “I will think the matter over and take into consideration any factors which should be considered within the course of a few days. “I will make a decision by answering their letter and I will, of course, make my answer available to the public.” Czech Diplomat Described as Spy By Investigators WASHINGTON (AP) — A Czech diplomat assigned to duty here Yugoslavia that Russia and her satellites are trying to drive their peoples to the point of making war on Marshal Tito’s lone wolf communist state. Yugoslavia has made many charges against Russia and the other communist nations since Tito split with the Cominform in 1948, but this was the first formal complaint of that nature filed with the U.N. The Yugoslav complaint said Russia and her satellites have been exercising aggressive pressure against Tito with the aim of threatening Yugoslavia's territorial integrity and national independence. Russia's proposal for a world arms conference before June, 1932, was in reply to the U.S. plan for progressive reduction in both conventional and atomic weapons after an accurate arms census. Jessup told newsmen the United States, with the support of Britain and France, would push for quick U.N. action in arms reduction despite the Soviet refusal to accept the western plan, which Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky said yesterday made him laugh. Egypt Protests About Influx Of Troops CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Egypt protested formally to Britain today that an "uninterrupted influx" of British troops into Egypt constituted "an almost total seizure of the Suez Canal." The note, handed by the Foreign Ministry to the British Embassy, also accused Britain of other infringements of Egyptian sovereignty which "recalls acts of Nazi authorities during World War II." Egypt has scrapped her 1936 treaty with Britain and ordered the British out of the Canal zone and the Sudan. The American-owned Socony-Vacuum bulk storage plant told the British carlier today it could no longer sell them fuel oil for military use. They explained that Egyptian workers would force the Three Injured in County Accidents Three persons were slightly injured in two Orange county traffic accidents during the past 24 hours, according to official reports.

A car driven by Mrs. Carl Trick, 38, Costa Mesa, had stopped at Berkeley st., for a pedestrian and a second car driven by Janie Helen Linson, 16, Newport Beach, daughter of Dr. John Linson, medical director at the county hospital, had stopped behind the Trick car. The Linson car was struck in the rear by a car driven by Madeline Ford. Warren Delahoussaye, 22, El Toro Marine, received minor injuries at 6 p.m. yesterday when his car collided with a car driven by Robert Wooden, 51, Costa Mesa, on Newport blvd., at Baker st., north of Costa Mesa. Czech Diplomat Described as Spy By Investigators WASHINGTON (UP) — A Czech diplomat assigned to duty here has been described by Senate internal security investigators as a top communist spy. He was named by Senators McCarran (D-Nev) and O'Conor (D-Md.) last night as Col. Otto Biheler, military and air attache to the Czechoslovakian Embassy. The senators said he is now in Czechoslovakia. McCarran, chairman of the Senate Internal Security committee, said "It is known to our intelligence agents that Biheler, for two years, has been gathering information on this country's research into bacteriological warfare and atomic weapons and other advanced methods of defense." That act, passed last year over President Truman's will allows the Justice Department to bar subversive allens from this country or deport them even if they have diplomatic status. Tired Harry Rests While Dean Works KEY WEST, Fla. (UP)—President Trump today left the next moves up to Secretary of State Acheson—and to the Kremlin—in the diplomatic struggles now centered in the United Nations general assembly at Paris. For the next few days, at least, the president plans to concentrate on resting, and, if the sun comes out, swimming and tanning. Mr. Trump flew here yesterday from Washington after a major speech Wednesday night challenging Russia to accept an American-British-French peace proposal involving a census of all war weapons, including atomic. Associates said he was not at all surprised by the efforts of Deputy Foreign Minister Vishinsky of Russia to laugh off the proposal for reducing armaments with safeguards which have constant inspection as the principal protection.
