Anaheim Gazette MONDAY, MAY 6, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Warren Seeks Party Peace; Talks in Oregon MEDFORD, Ore. (P)—Governor Earl Warren of California spoke out against "back-biting" among Republican candidates today as he opened his drive for votes in Oregon's GOP presidential primary. "I want it to be known by everyone from here to your northerly boundary line," he said in a prepared speech, "that I am in Oregon to promote unity rather than disunity in our party." Warren flew from Sacramento in a chartered plane to deliver his kick-off address before a joint meeting of the Young Republicans and Jackson County Republican Central committee at noon. There are five other GOP candidates seeking Oregon's 18 convention votes in the May 16 election, and the California governor said he will have nothing to say against any of them. "I want to see our standard bearer, whoever he may be, able to enlist the enthusiastic support of all Republicans for the November election," he told his Oregon neighbors. "This can not be done by petty criticism, back-biting or scurrilous underground propaganda. We have a fight out our hands in November. Let no one deceive us on that score." Warren touched off his campaign with General Dwight D. Eisenhower as the established favorite in the Oregon race. Senator Robert A.

They Didn't Find Bats in This Belfrey: USAF Deserter Made It a Penthouse VALLEJO (P)—The mystery of Chinaware, an electric heater and the church doors that wouldn't other things disappeared. The missing dishes electric They Didn’t Find Bats in This Belfrey: USAF Deserter Made It a Penthouse VALLEJO UP—The mystery of the church doors that wouldn’t stay locked was solved today. Police arrested an Air Force lieutenant who said he had lived for three weeks in the belfry of Vallejo’s Seventh Day Adventist church. The officer who turned the bell tower into a penthouse—complete with radio, electric heater, food and blankets—was booked as Lt. Clarence B. Wigley, 23, Wichita Falls, Tex. He was taken to Travis Air Force base where Col. Clifford J. Heflin said Wigley faced court martial for desertion. Heflin said Wigley vanished in January while under charges for a previous disappearance. The Rev. J. J. Dollinger said he had been hearing strange noises, “like somebody walking,” from the belfry for months. The church was searched repeatedly, but not the belfry because it was “quite impossible that anyone could be living there,” the pastor added. Dollinger ordered the searches because he found the church doors unlocked every morning although he had carefully locked them each night. He changed locks. Almost immediately the organist, Mrs. Mrs. Mabel Olson, lost her purse containing the new key. THE DORCAS Society, a women’s welfare group, reported its food stores were steadily vanishing from the church basement. Chinaware, an electric heater and other things disappeared. The missing dishes, electric heater and some cans of food were found in the belfry. Police Sgt. Herman Pappenburg said Wigley rigged a flashlight to the rafters so he could read in bed. The belfry apartment was uncovered by chance. A police prowl car picked up Wigley as he entered an alley in the early morning. Pappenburg said Wigley had a key to the church, some articles from the organist’s purse and a check made out to the church. Wigley was not communicative, but he said, Pappenburg reported, his belfry sojourn had “nothing to do with the sitdown filers.” Heflin said Wigley, A B-29 copilot, wrote his resignation while awaiting court martial for being absent without leave . . . then disappeared. Mr. Dollinger, confident his church doors will stay locked, said: “We’re willing to forgive and forget everything he did here and if we can help him in any way he can count on us.” Marriages Irvan Edgar Sulivan, 22, Hollywood; Wanda Lee Calloo, 20, 239A W.

MacArthur, Senator Wayne Morse and a William R. Schneider of St. Louis. WARREN CALLED Oregon the most stalwart state in the west—is was the only one carried by the Dewey-Warren ticket four years ago—and added: “I believe my state has the same type of Republicanism you have in Oregon.” He called for a new administration in Washington next year—“not a warmed-over Democratic administration, not a reshuffling of the cards for another kind of deal.” What the country needs, he said, is a “completely new administration, with a new approach, new leadership, a new sense of responsibility to the people, and with a will to restore time-honored concepts of representative government.” “The Democratic administration can not do this. It has lost its vitality.” Stanley Group Ends Sessions Until June 3 Assemblyman Earl W.

His committee probing the important problems of equalization of tax loads as between the cities and unincorporated communities will hold sessions in both Kerr county and Alameda county in June, he said. Then a study in Los Angeles county will complete the survey. Stanley said he could not predict when the work would be finished, since the Los Angeles county hearings and attendant study might take considerable time. He said that there are no plans at the present to hold hearings in Orange county. This county has submitted a complete survey of its own to the Assembly committee Stanley heads; the Orange county League of Cities did likewise. On basis of these reports, the committee can study the county problems. ENTERTAINS GUESTS Mrs. Ella Chitty, of 204 S.

The picture was “tribute to a bad man,” which is a picture about Hollywood, I guess, but you wouldn’t think so from the title. The cast includes people like Lana Turner, Kirk Douglas, Walter Pidgeon, Dick Powell and Gloria Grahame. Most of them had gone home or had moved to an outdoor set miles away. Pidgeon was in his dressing room, playing checkers with another fellow while a press agent snoozed in the corner. When Pidgeon is playing checkers, you might as well interview Taft about Eisenhower’s chances, or vice versa. You get about the same degree of silence. Such is an interviewer’s life. A large part of the time you’re arriving at the wrong time to talk to anybody. But the empty film set caught my eye. It was supposed to be a movie producer’s office in the early ’30s. On the walls were some interesting portraits. I recognized them as Marie Dressler, Alice Brady, Edna May Oliver, Robert Benchley, Wallace Berry, Ted Healy and Thelma Todd. They had this in common: all had died at the top of their careers. (Miss Todd had died accidentally or was murdered; it has never been fully determined.) There were three other photos that started me thinking about the fleeting nature of film fame.

Randolph also referred to the difficulties of starting a newspaper. He said available supplies of newsprint already have been contracted for by existing papers. The ITU president called the government’s labor policy “fascistic hooey.” Representatives of 11 of 14 locals which banded together to form the ITU 100 years ago attended an anniversary dinner here and heard Randolph, the union’s international president, declare governmental interference with labor affairs has reached the danger point. Randolph said the ITU is asking the government to “take its iron hand” off the rights of unions. He asserted the government is laying out restricted areas in which unions may organize, forbidding the workers the right to strike and arbitrarily fixing the wages and prices. “We’re asking them (the government) not to protect employers by restrictive laws which make union efforts fruitless,” he said. “Members of the ITU would among beautiful women, was placed above Earl Carroll’s empty ‘tomb in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.

He was married four times, and his wives included actresses Leatrice Joy, Ina Claire and Virginia Bruce. His other romances dealt with such figures as Greta Garbo, Lupe Velez and Marlene Dietrich. Gilbert had been born in Logan, Utah, despite his fame is a Latin type lover. A stock actor, he came to Hollywood in 1917 and played cowboys and bit parts. He first scored as “The Count of Monte Cristo” in 1922 and his big hit was as the doughboy in “The Big Parade” in 1924. He and Garbo formed a torrid team, and he is reported to have persuaded her to lead a hermit’s life. The advent of sound doomed his career.

Primary (Continued from Page 1) By week's end, Taft probably will have pulled ahead of Eisenhower in the delegate race, as he is expected to win handily in his home state. The Associated Press survey of delegates pledged or willing to express a preference, shows Eisenhower currently four delegates ahead of Taft among those already chosen. Taft claims he is ahead. A lot of interest has been generated in Florida where Kefauver runs up against his stiffest primary opposition so far in Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia. No delegates will be chosen in the Florida primary, but the voters will have a chance to choose their favorite in a state-wide popularity contest. But it is the first head-on clash between Russell and Kefauver. Russell is generally credited with an edge, but Kefauver got a boost yesterday when former Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida threw his still potent political influence behind him. Arson Attempt Made in Tustin Investigation of a suspected attempt to commit arson at the Goldenwest packing house at Tustin was under investigation by today by the sheriff's office. Night watchman John Yardley discovered a small fire in a doorway last night after being attracted to the spot by the smell of smoke. He found that oiled rags had been ignited and had burned a small hole in the door. The Red Hill Volunteer fire truck responded to a call and two other trucks came from State Forestry headquarters in Orange. The fire was extinguished with only $10 damage. Funeral Services Set for Mother Of SA Judge Funeral services for Mrs. Margaret Dodge Thompson, 74, of Fullerton, mother of Superior Judge Raymond H. Thompson, are set for 2 p.m. Tuesday at the McCormick chapel in Fullerton. Mrs. Thompson, a resident of Fullerton since 1910, died Sunday. She leaves her husband, O. M. Thompson; three daughters, Mrs. Helen Lang and Mrs. Dorothy Lodge, both of Fullerton, and Mrs. Jeanet Cross of San Jose; her son, Judge Thompson, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Jenkins of Fullerton.

She came to Hollywood and soared to fame as Melisande in "The Big Parade." She loved her new-found success and played it to the hilt, racing through two marriages and fortune. A lung ailment sent her to a sanitarium, and friends said it was caused by her inability to pass up a party. She never recovered, and died at 37 in 1935.

A copy was sent to Santa Ana city council. Grand jury committee No. 3, headed by Victor Walker of Newport Beach, recommended the resolution, which was adopted by the grand jury as a whole. It was addressed to State Highway Engineer G. T. McCoy. State officials have failed to act upon requests from the city over the past eight years to install a traffic signal at the intersection, where traffic collisions are frequent. Stop signs on Flower st. are the only traffic controls now in force. JAPS SET HIGH GOAL FOR COAL PRODUCTION TOKYO (UP) — Japan's ministry of international trade and industry has set a 1952 coal production target of 48 million tons—a 220 per cent obost over tonnage in 1945 when the Pacific war ended.

The ceremonies, in which officials of the joint sanitation districts took part, were held at Bristol st. and Talbert road, where Contractor A.M. Famularo of Santa Ana starts work under a contract awarded him a fortnight ago by District 1 directors. This will be the first unit of the sewerage program, actually under way six years after the first survey by engineers was ordered, in 1946. The survey report was submitted July 1, 1947, and the $8,308,000 bonds to finance the project were voted Feb. 28, 1949. Deadlocks and disagreements held up the sanitation program for nearly three years, before the bonds could be sold and construction begun. Famularo will be paid $22,757 for the Bristol trunk job, the district furnishing pipe costing $32,-040, to make a total cost of $55,-157 for the line. The joint districts will open bids May 12 on a three-mile line, to extend between the Bristol trunk and the proposed new treatment plant. Cost estimate on that contract is $577,000. Mo.
