Ohio st., who complained that "there are more dogs than people in our tract." She cited numerous instances of trouble with dogs and reported little assistance from Anaheim Poundmaster Robert Spencer. Mayor Charles Pearson lent point to Mrs. Fisher's complaint by reporting that Meter Reader Al Erickson had recently been "chewed up" by a dog. City Administrator Keith Murdoch was instructed to look into the requirements for a leash law. Kwikset Addition Adolf Schoepe, president of Kwikset Locks, Inc., appeared to repeat a request for the abandonment of the extension of Kroeger st. south of Santa Ana st., which, he said, is not used except by an oil tanker which dumps oil at the Mutual Citrus Products Co. boiler on the southeast corner of Kroeger and Santa Ana sts. He also asked abandonment of alleys between Kroeger and Atchison sts. In exchange, he said, Kwikset would dedicate a 20-foot alley-way which would provide access to MCP's boiler building. Kwikset is asking the abandonment to provide room for an additional factory building needed to take care of "several" large war contracts, Schoepe said. Hearing on the abandonment was set for Feb. 26. Planners Reversed Councilmen reversed the planning commission recommendation that the north side of the street be closed. Youths Describe Feeling in Taking Cocaine, Heroin and Marijuana (Editor's Note: This is the second of four stories on "America's shrine-world of narcotics" in which there are thousands of teen-age addicts.) DON WHITEHEAD WASHINGTON (AP)—Uncounted thousands of teen-age boys and girls have walked into America's slave-world of narcotics looking for a momentary "thrill"—and found they are victims of a habit they cannot break. Many enter this half-world with their eyes wide open, knowing full well the danger that is encased in a capsule of cocaine or heroin. They think they can get away with it without being "hooked." But a youngster can become an addict in three days to six weeks after taking the first shot. Fewer than one out of five, according to government hospital records, ever is cured of the habit once it takes hold. The agency of body and mind without narcotics is too much for most to bear. The road to addiction is well charted in the records of the U.S. Bureau of Narcotics and in revelations by the Senate's Crime Investigating committee. Thousands of youngsters are on that road today which almost without fail leads to crime, prostitution and a useless and stupid life. Almost in every case the young addict starts with marihuana cigarettes to get a thrill—to be one of the gang. Marihuana itself isn't a narcotic. It isn't habit-forming. But soon the kick in a marihuana cigarette isn't enough. The next step usually is "snorting" (sniffing) cocaine or heroin—and then to "mainlinning" (tah). Another girl said: "It has made me lose interest in life itself. You know when you are on that stuff you don't care what comes or goes or who you hurt or whatever you do. You just think about yourself." And from the files of the U.S. Narcotics Bureau there is the typical story of a Chicago boy named Al who became an addict at 15: Al attended high school where his friends smoked marihuana cigarettes. Al began smoking them, too, just for the sensation it gave him and to be one of the gang. But after six months the "pot" (marihuana) wasn't enough. He wasn't getting the same life and feeling of excitement he had experienced before. He complained about it to his friends. "Why don't you try snorting?" one of them said. Others agreed it was the thing to do if he wanted a real "kick." So, Al began snorting cocaine. It was expensive stuff, cocaine smuggled into this country from abroad through the underworld that takes an estimated $182,000,000 a year from narcotics addicts. Al needed at least $10 a day for his habit. He began stealing from his parents and then from others, pawning stolen goods for money with which to buy cocaine. Then one day a dope peddler sold Al some heroin. He took it to the home of a friend who showed him how to "mainline" the drug into the urine of a woman. which would provide access to MCP's boiler building. Kwikset is asking the abandonment to provide room for an additional factory building needed to take care of "several" large war contracts, Schoepe said. Hearing on the abandonment was set for Feb. 26 Planners Reversed. Councilmen reversed the planning commission recommendation that the north-south street of the Kersten-Dwyer tract at the southwest corner of Burton and West sts. be connected with Carleton ave. to the south of the proposed subdivision. The tentative map of the development was approved subject to engineering requirements, and City Engineer George Holyoke gave notice that one requirement would be curbs and gutters of the suburban (roll) type on streets in the subdivision to keep the asphalt or oil roadway from breaking away on the edges. Dr. E. W. Kersten, one of the developers, suggested a redwood header board to hold the roadway, but the suggestion didn't satisfy the engineer. The problem will be worked out between the Engineering department and the developers. A resolution amending Ordinance 667 to provide a 10 per cent per month penalty on overdue sewage disposal charges for industries was approved by the council. Feb. 26 was the date set for a hearing of the Monroe E. Wallace annexation petition, which was presented to the council last night. A petition of E. Center st. property owners that E. Center st. from East st. to Anaheim-Olive rd., be zoned C-2 (commercial) was referred to the planning commission. Circus Coming The council approved the staging of the Clyde Beatty circus at Palm and LaPalma aves, Apr. 23. Robert F. McCurdy, Pasadena city manager, will speak on annexations at the next meeting of the Orange County League of Cities to be held in Anaheim Elks club at 7 p.m. tomorrow, the council was informed. Almost in every case the young addict starts with marihuana cigarettes to get a thrill—to be one of the gang. Marihuana itself isn't a narcotic. It isn't habit-forming. But soon the kick in a marihuana cigarette isn't enough. The next step usually is "snorting" (sniffing) cocaine or heroin—and then to "mainlining" (taking hypodermic injections directly into the blood stream). The teen-age pattern has been described to investigators by a young woman who was taken to a "reefer pad"—a marihuana party—by a girl friend in Baltimore, Md. There she was given her first "reefer" and later she told this story: "We really did laugh and smoke and cry and dream. There was plenty of music. Reefers make you like and just love music. Really they make you keen for music. They really increase your hearing so fine that you can pick out every note and then the right theme sort of gets in your joints and bloodstream. You cannot keep still; but, believe me, when it wears off you droop, you get scared. I even saw shadows and things looked double. It gets my legs. They get slow." Then you grab and grab for another stick (cigarette). I will tell you what my first stick did to me: water ran out of my eyes, I choked and coughed. I had a rush of funny feeling all over me which made me very happy, and or, that music. Just when I was high, my girl friend told me to come up to the bathroom with her. I went. She got a mirror and emptied and spread one cap (capsule) of heroin on it. She took a razor blade and divided it into five parts. This was a five-grain cap of heroin. She gave me a straw and she had one. She snorted her three parts and I snorted the other two. This was my first heroin. It tasted something like quinine to me. It took a few minutes to act. that takes an estimated $182,000,000 a year from narcotics addicts. Al needed at least $10 a day for his habit. He began stealing from his parents and then from others, pawning stolen goods for money with which he buy cocaine. Then one day a dope peddler sold Al some heroin. He took it to the home of a friend who showed him how to "mainline" the dope into the veins of his arm. He had a tingling feeling all over his body. For a few hours he felt happy. All his frustrations faded away. Al quit school. His friends taught him how to "boost"—to shop-lift department stores to get the $10 to $20 a day he needed for dope. He police caught him, of course, and sent him to jail. But he was out in a few months, back to the same old neighborhood, the same friends, the same environment—and the same slave-world of narcotics. It was no trouble for Al to find the narcotics. In almost every city of any size in the country there are street peddlers waiting to keep Al and his kind supplied with narcotics—for a price. (Tomorrow: the story of how narcotics agents trapped "Jim Yellow" — a big-time narcotics dealer.) Circus Coming The council approved the staging of the Clyde Beatty circus at Palm and LaPalma aves, Apr. 23. Robert F. McCurdy, Pasadena city manager, will speak on annexations at the next meeting of the Orange County League of Cities to be held in Anaheim Elks club at 7 p.m. tomorrow, the council was informed. The Santa Ana Valley Kennel Club's request for the use of La Palma Park Apr. 20 for the third annual All-Breed Dog show was granted. Approximately 1100 dogs were shown there last year and 1600 are expected this year, the club informed the council. An exxication of an as yet undetermined, but extensive, area on the southern boundaries of Anaheim was recommended for initial proceedings by the ouncil. It involves an area roughly the width of the city and between Vermont and Ball rds. Engineer Holyoke reported that 1600 feet of 30-inch sewer line has been laid on the Ball rd. trunk sewer and about 1000 feet of 24-inch line on the La Palma ave-trunk. He reported that recent heavy rains slowed construction to some extent, but not seriously. No one knows what the most distant star is. With the new telescope at Mt. Palomar Observatory, clusters can be seen that are a billion light years away. CHOKED with stomach GAS? THANK HEAVEN! Most attacks are just acid indigestion. When it strikes, take Bell-and-tablets.

This was a five-grain cap of heroin. She gave me a straw and she had one. She snorted her three parts and I snorted the other two. This was my first heroin. It tasted something like quinine to me. It took a few minutes to act. "I began vomiting. My stomach contracted and I had an awful pain. A week later I went back to my girl friend's house and I told her what had happened and she laughed. I told her I didn't like it. But I tell you, something within me made me go back. "Her brother was there and he laughed, and then he said, 'you have not really had a kick.' I will give you a real one much better than that." "He got out a hypo and needle, and he told me to come in the kitchen. He fixed heroin in a cooker, filled the hypo and took my arm. This was my first shot. "I vomited again but soon I felt a change. My face got slack. I looked in the mirror and I saw my mouth was drooping. I began scratching my face and rubbing my nose. This feeling passed right into a feeling of elation. It was swell. I got gay. Just everything was all right with me." And so an addict was born into the world of physical and moral wrecks from which so few return. One teen-age girl addict told senators: "I got to the point where I couldn't stop. I kept having sickness, headache, vomiting, swelling of the legs, eardrums beating, sweating, until there was nothing else I could do except continually keep on using Los Angeles during the years 1939-1943. Aaron, a one-time assistant state's attorney of Look county, Ill., told the committee he served a year in the army before receiving a medical discharge in 1944. Then he went to Los Angeles. He said his work as an NLRB attorney and his "somewhat upset state emotionally," led him to the conclusion there must be something wrong with the economic system. Aaron's story continued: Leo Gallagher, an attorney, invited him to join "a discussion group" on labor law and labor problems from a Marxist angle, and Aaron "assumed at the time" that Gallagher was a communist. He never saw him at any meetings. Later he talked with John McTernan, identified as an attorney, and "we went to a meeting and from then on I guess I was a member." The first meeting he attended was at the home of Charles J. Katz, who he believed to be a member of the law firm of Katz, Gallagher and Margolis. Other homes in which meetings were held included those of Ben Margolis, Milton Tyre, Victor Kaplan, Marbury Yerkes, Herzig and Frank Pastana. All of those he named were lawyers. Other Los Angeles lawyers Aaron said were communists included Robert Katz (he said he didn't think Robert Katz was related to Charles Katz, but that he was in the same law firm), John Porter, and Jack Tenner."

Complaints of flooding came to the supervisors from a number of citizens, strongest protest coming from a group in the 1800 block of Santa Ana ave., Costa Mesa, who said that their homes are still flooded. They urged a drainage program there. New Berths Open For Membership In Sea Scout Ship Anaheim Sea Scout Ship 280 meets tonight in Investment in Youth Hall, La Palma and Olive sts., for their regular weekly meeting. Skipper Bill Burr said today that 16 new berths have been opened for membership of four crews of eight men each. Membership is restricted to boys of 14 or older. Bishop Campbell to be Speaker At Church Assn. Installation The Rt. Rev. Donald James Campbell, suffragan bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, will address the annual rally and installation service of the Church Association of Anaheim to be held Jan. 29 at 7:45 p.m. at the First Presbyterian church. His subject will be "The Ecumenical Church." Following the opening worship service at which the music will be led by the Presbyterian choir triple trio directed by Mrs. George Sloop, the installation ceremony will be conducted by Herbert Heinze, retiring president. Those who will be installed as officers and committee chairmen for 1952 are Joe Thompson, president; Al Ramm, vice president; Mrs. LeRoy Marsh, secretary; Harold Leigh, treasurer; the Rev. Berthold Jacksteit, chairman of the Christian Education committee and the Rev. Howard Congdon, chairman of the Public Worship committee. The program will close with the address by Bishop Campbell who became well known in Anaheim last October when he conducted a very successful four day "mission" at St. Michael's Episcopal church and also addressed the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs. Born in Canada in 1903, Bishop Campbell attended Ridley Hall, Cambridge, Eng., and also the Episcopal Theological school at Cambridge, Mass., from which he received a B.D. in 1931. He was ordained deacon by Bishop Sher- rill in 1932, now the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal church and was elevated to the priesthood in the same year by the late Bishop Stevens of Los Angeles. In 1934, he married the former Hester Hocking, daughter of Professor Emeritus W. E. Hocking of Harvard. They have three children. Bishop Campbell served successively at Christ Church, Cambridge; as curate at St. Paul's Cathedral, Los Angeles; at St. Paul's New Haven, Conn.; at the Church of the Redeemer, Providence, R.I.; and finally was elected Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Springfield, Mass., where he served until he was consecrated Suffrima In Sea Scout Ship Anaheim Sea Scout Ship 280 meets tonight in Investment in Youth Hall, La Palma and Olive sts., for their regular weekly meeting. Skipper Bill Burr said today that 16 new berths have been opened for membership of four crews of eight men each. Membership is restricted to boys of 14 or older. New members enter the ship as apprentice seamen, and, after passing apprentice tests, are eligible to participate in all activities and privileges of the ship, according to Skipper Burr. Uniforms, which belong to the ship, are available to new members on payment of a small initiation fee. The "Rotaleo," a 36-foot, converted Navy LCPL, is owned by the ship and is used for training and pleasure cruises. Instruction given Sea Scouts includes navigation, seamanship, sea lore, life saving, rules of the road, boat safety and marlin-spike seamanship. The ship competes with other Sea Scout ships of the area at the annual regatta held in Newport Harbor. Skipper Burr said prospective new Sea Scouts may contact him at the ship's regular meetings, 7 p.m. every Wednesday at Investment in Youth Hall, La Palma and Olive sts., or at his place of business, 718 N. Los Angeles st., or they may contact Mate Ben Stakemiller at 621 W. Center st.

Division Leaves Korea to Defend Japan Mainland CAMP CRAWFORD, Hokkaido, Japan (UP)—The battle-hardened U.S. First Cavalry division has been pulled out of Korea to defend Japan's northernmost island. Russian troops on Habomal Island are only 3½ miles away. The Russian-occupied Kuriles are 10 miles to the east. Russia's Sakhalin is less than 30 miles to the north. Maj. Gen. Thomas L. Harrold, division commander, said today, "I can assure you of this: If they land here we'll be ready for them with everything we have. "We feel we are as much on the front line here as we ever were in Korea." The division's move from Korea was completed New Year's Eve—but was withheld until today. The 45th Division, former Oklahoma National Guard unit, replaced the First Cavalry in Korea. It is an ironic touch that the famed dismounted cavalry is now the key division in the U.S. defense force for Japan. The cavalrymen were flown into Japan from the Philippines to cement the surrender in 1945. Five years later the division was rushed to Korea to help stem the red invasion.

Electrical Mains熟食机 SOUTHERN McClellan AFB Seeks Metal Men In a continual search for speed and more speed for fighters and bombers, Air Force engineers are modifying existent aircraft, and planning for new types of planes. All phases of these modifications and plans must synchronize; engines, accessories, instruments, airframe structures must be designed and coordinated so as to give maximum speed and performance under all manner of conditions. One supposedly "small" error overlooked and failure is usually the result—a good plane is lost. Airframe structures offer a good example of what may happen. Imagine a jet plane reaching maximum speed, then without warning going out of control, and crashing earthward. What happened? Possibly one thing—seemingly simple. Upon inspection perhaps one flaw would be detected—a "dent" on the structure of the ship so small it could not be found by sight or touch. Yet it was enough to cause such a tremendous stress on the plane that the ship was thrown out of control. This type of accident has happened, and it shows that structures are just as important as the engines, or the guns, of an aircraft. At McClellan Air Force base, located nine miles northeast of Sacramento, Calif., one of the largest sheetmetal shops in the Air Force plugs away continually—manufacturing new sheetmetal structures; removing damaged Three-Alarm Ball Set for Friday At Balboa Club "Dance—so others may walk."
