Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1902 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Anaheim Gazette by JOHN S. NEUBAUER Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men—Luke 2:14. BYGONES — Remember what happened about this time last year? General Douglas MacArthur was given the heave-ho by Harry S. Truman. His return to the USA electrified the nation. The highway holocaust claimed Mannel Masedonia Vasquez, 32. He died of injuries sustained in a La Habra accident. Margie Tipton became Mrs. William Steinborn; while Una Schneider changed her name to Mrs. James Gehler. Frank Genzelle became the father of a real Anaheimer—one of the few children actually born in Anaheim. Death called Ernest A. Davis in the 60th year of his life. That was the things Anaheimers were talking about a year ago. Remember? CONGRATULATIONS — Seven of the 50 new American citizens were Anaheimers. "Graduation exercises" were conducted by Judge Kenneth E. Morrison; Johann Teresa O'Grady, Leola Vandenberg. Church Notes First Baptist "God Forsakes Man!" This is the message to be given by Pastor Bob Revorkin at the First Baptist church, Broadway at Citron, at the 11:00 a.m. Sunday worship service. So often man has been possessed with the idea that God is a "Santa Claus" who is conducting himself in a gentle fashion, always giving "presents" to men. "How could God formalize wonderful man?" "After all, is not man trying his best?" The Apostle Paul has answered this question in his letter written to the early Christians at Rome. At the 7:30 p.m. service, Gene Shaffer, a student of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles and a member of the church is to preach. All visitors are cordially invited to attend. A complete nursery and Junior church is maintained during the morning service. Church of The Nazarene The Sunday schedule at First Church of the Nazarene includes Sunday School, 9:45; Morning worship, 11:00; N.Y.P.S. service, 8:30; Evangelistic service, 7:30; Mid-West service, Wednesday, 7:30; choral practice follows Mid-West service. Christian Science The Sunday Lesson-Sermon "Doctrine of Atohement" in Christian Science churches points out that regeneration and redemption are gained by following Christ in daily life. Jesus wished from Mark (10:45) will be Golden Text: "The Son of God came not to be ministered but to minister, and to give life a ransom for many." A Bible selection from M (6:6, 8) reads, "Wherewith shall come before the Lord, and myself before the high God? He hath shewed thee, O man, we is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justice and to love mercy, and to humbly with thy God?" Mary Baker Eddy says in "Cause and Health with Key to Scriptures:" "If the discipline is vancing spiritually, he is striving to enter it. He constantly tries away from material sense, books towards the imperishable things of Spirit" (p. 21). First Presbyterian The Rev. Howard S. Congdon speaks on the subject "A Moderate Miracle" at the 10:40 a.m. Sunday at the First Presbyterian church. Sunday school begins 9:45 a.m. CONGRATULATIONS — Seven of the 50 new American citizens were Anaheimers. "Graduation exercises" were conducted by Judge Kenneth E. Morrison; Johannus Teresa O'Grady, Louis Vainier Boim; Manuel Alvarado; Trinidad Herrera; Ellen Winny; Catherine Niblan and Patricia Bagnard received citizenship; Marceline Babb became a citizen again by repatriation. The Guestler wishes to congratulate these five Anaheimers on having taken the initiative to become "Americans." Besides renouncing allegiance to their native lands, they had to undergo a thorough and somewhat difficult course in civics. Few of these folks will shirk their responsibility; it is an honor and a sacred duty to mark the ballot at election time. Many native Americans could learn a lesson from these good people who had to work for their citizenship. ALONG PRESS ROW ... Carl (Pony) Swenson, Fullerton's Town Crier, didn't fire so well as a campaign manager. His man finished dead last in a seven-man race ... George Hart, the Gazette's political analyst and court house reporter, is an ardent nature lover. Well, so is D. Perry Maynard, court clerk and former Anaheim newspaperman ... Don Shaffer, the sportscorer, is slated to become newseditor of Anaheim's other PM. RECOMMENDATION — The Gazetteer's oft-repeated and most trite suggestion that signals be placed on the "coroner's corner" is worth repeating. A couple of Anaheimers were lucky that the other fellow knew how to drive, or else the undertaker or the medic in the emergency hospital would have had a couple of customers yesterday. There are a lot of narrow "squads" at the intersection of Orangethorpe and Lemon. Church of The Nazarene The Sunday schedule at First Church of the Nazarene includes Sunday School, 9:45; Morning worship, 11:00; N.Y.P.S. service, 8:30; Evangelistic service, 7:30; Mid-West service, Wednesday, 7:30; choir practice follows Mid-Week service.

Liquor Control Tightening Seen Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO — Lack of a thority of the State Board Equalization to issue an ordinance self-service liquor coupons as a curb to teen-age peers NITECAPSULE—If the best is not to good, what's better? MORE ABOUT Byrnes Continued from Page 19 that he wrote Pearson denying this and sent a copy of the letter to Truman. The president's letter, dated June 21, 1949, followed: It said: "Dear Jim: "I appreciated very much your note of the 17th enclosing me a copy of the letter to Draw Pearson. Since I never read Mr. Pearson or listen to him I didn't know his statement had appeared. I don't think he ever told the truth intentionally. "I never read or listen to Walter Winchell Westbrook Pegler George Sokolsky of John O'Donnell, or any of the labs for the simple reason that it just stirs you up for no good purpose. When history is written the facts will speak for themselves. "It was always customary for the State Department to accuse the White House of having leaks and for the White House to accuse the State Department of having leaks. I don't know which was correct—maybe both. "Sincerely yours, Harry Truman." In a handwritten postscript, the president added: "Since your Washington & Lee speech I'm sure I know how Caesar fell when he said 'of tu Bride'." Pearson commenting on the letter said yesterday: "Mr. Trumbull's opinion of me is not directly new. He has been quite liquidous in the past. However, I am mystified as to how, if he never reads my or listens, he can be read sure I never tell this truth—especially in this particular case where it happens that my version of the Trumbull-Truman now is much more to the president's own story." Cypress Chamber Asks Flood Action The Cypress Chamber of Commerce has nightly discussed flood conditions in their sales of information according to the secretary, Mrs. H. L. G. Preston. It was noted that several pertinent to go eventually to the county authorities are being circulated in the area asking that flood waters be directed to Coyote creek. Liquor Control Tightening Seen Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO—Lack of a authority of the State Board Equalization to issue an order banning self-service liquor counters as a curb to teen-age purchasers of liquor today results in announcement by Senator E. Desmond, Sacramento, that he tends to introduce legislation new year to tighten enforcement provisions. George Reilly, San Francisco member of the board, recently said he would ban the self-service counters in his district. However, Hugh Strachan, attorney for the board, advised Reilly that he has no authority to issue such an order for his district, nor did the board have the authority to issue such an order on a state-wide basis. Strachan based his opinion on the fact that the legislature did not empower the board to make such a ruling and on the other hand it provided for packaged sales of liquor. Desmond said he intends to continue if a Senate interim committee has jurisdiction over the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act and so to ask such a committee to work with him on revising of the law, giving the board more extensive authority to curb raids to minors. Desmond said he believed the problem could be worked out without hardship to grocer drug and liquor stores dispensing packaged goods. The furor over the liquor sale broke following an experiment at a San Francisco church, which did patchen teen-agers to all sections of the city. Results was purchases of liquor in three out of five stores visited.

Kidnapers' Home Miami Jeweler For $15,200 MIAMI, Fri. 6:30—A wealthy Miami jeweler said $15,200 "misman" for return of his six-year-old son yesterday in what police called a phony kidnapping. Daniel Richter was duped into paying $15,000 in jewels and $200 cash in what police said was "one of the cleverest and most perfectly timed" extortions in memory. The boy, Richard, was never actually kidnapped; police said, although Richter was convinced he was buying his son's safe return. While police and the FBI marshalled forces to meet what they thought was a genuine kidnapping, the child was riding in a train from a private school at Miami Beach to Doctor's hospital in Coral Gables, a distance of about 12 miles. Police said the plotters used the school, the taxi company and the hospital as unwilling duper in their shaken-down. As police reconstructed the crime, it happened this way: A MAN WHO said he was "Dr. Henderson" called the Yellow Cab Co., at Miami Beach and asked them to pick up Ricky Richter at Coburn school and drive him to the hospital, purportedly to be with his "gravely ill" mother. Almost simultaneously, a woman's voice called the school authorities and said a text would arrive soon to pick up the boy. Cab Driver Bert Walowitz, 24, was sent to the school and picked up the boy. One member of the gang must have watched him because a telephone call then went to the father's office in downtown Miami. The caller told Daniel Richter he had Rickey in his custody and that no harm would come to the child if the father cooperated. He said, "This is purely a business deal and will require $50,000."

"He said, 'This is purely a business deal and will require $50,000 in diamonds and $5000 in cash for you to get your boy back,'" Richter reported. The caller warned Richter the boy's life would be in danger if police were notified, and gave him five minutes to verify the story. RICHTER QUICKLY called the school, learned his son was gone, then decided to notify police. While Detective M. H. Wiggins and E. A. Taunton were enroute to Richter's jewelry store, his phone rang again. "He gave me instructions to take the jewels and money to a phone booth in the Ponce de Leon hotel," Richter related. "I told him the most I could raise was about $15,000 in jewels and $220 in cash. He said that would do." Richter went to the hotel and waited in the booth. A bellboy told him he was wanted on the phone at the desk and the same man who had called earlier told him to put the jewels and cash in a bag in a coin locker at the Greyhound Bus station, place the key with a wad of chewing gum under the counter of a certain telephone booth, and leave. Richter was still a step ahead of detectives, who were being briefed at the store by his brother Alvin Richter. The father rushed to the bus station, placed the bag in a locker, and since the designated phone booth was being used, placed the AUHS ANGLES By JoAnn Faust Ninth year’s officers for Future Homemakers of America were elected Friday during the PHA meeting.
