VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH Ridgway Implies Fear of Red Gas and Germ Warfare in Congressional Speech WASHINGTON (UP)—Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway told Congress today that communist talk about germ and gas warfare should impress on all the deadly danger confronting the free world. Kwikset Will Offer Shares To the Public Kwikset Locks, Inc., has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the offering and sale of 125,000 shares of common stock, Adolf Schoepe, president, announced today. After registration with the SEC, the stock will be offered to the public by a nationwide group of investment banking firms headed by Paul H. Davis & Co. of Chicago, and Lester Ryons & Co. of In an address to a joint meeting of the Senate and House, the four-star general stopped short of saying he fears the communists will use those weapons. But his plain implication was that he agrees with those who say the communist technique is to charge others with crimes they intend to commit. For weeks, the red propaganda machine has hammered out charges that United Nations forces in Korea are using gas and germs. Ridgway said the charges are false in their entirety but that the communist harping on them should serve as "a monumental warning . . . as menacing and urgent as a forest fire bearing down on a wooden village." The former U.N. commander in the Far East received a rousing welcome from the lawmakers. Senators and representatives were joined by cabinet officers and diplomats in several minutes that General Eisenhower has proved." Connally said Ridgway did discuss the foreign aid bill added: "General Ridgway explained was not sufficiently familiar with the European situation to discern proposed reductions." In his address, Ridgway made a general report on the Far Eisenhower Back Support to War SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — Word went out today to California supporters of General Eisenhower to vote for Gov. Earl Warren Republican delegate salute at the state's June 3 presidential primaries—in the hope Warren would throw his weight to Eisenhower at the Chicago GOP convention. Eisenhower's name isn't entwined a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange commission covering the offering and sale of 125,000 shares of common stock, Adolf Schoepe, president, announced today. After registration with the SEC, the stock will be offered to the public by a nationwide group of investment banking firms headed by Paul H. Davis & Co. of Chicago, and Lester, Ryons & Co. of Los Angeles, both members of the New York Stock Exchange. The issue represents holdings in Kwikset Locks, Inc., and Kwikset Sales & Service Co., of Karl Reinhard, one of the principal stockholders in the corporation, together with new shares of company stock. All offerings will be through a prospectus to be made available locally by Lester, Ryons & Co. under SEC registration. The offering of the new stock to the public, Schoepe said, will provide Kwikset with additional working capital. "We anticipate an increase in lockset sales in the near future," Schoepe said, "based on the increase in building activities. Kwikset also has a backlog of $4,000,000 in unfilled defense contracts." "The decision had to be made to either make Kwikset stock available to the public, continue to grow and take on the additional responsibilities, or remain a closed corporation subject to its limitations." Schoepe stated in a bulletin to all Kwikset employees. "My decision was to follow the path that seemed to offer the best chance for progress and success for the whole team." Reinhard decided in 1951 to dispose of his holdings and the concurrent sale of new stock together with the sale of Reinhard's shares resulted in the expected offering.

"The boxcar had been on the siding for a long time and we thought it was all right to play near it," Geary told police. Officers said the boys had to climb two six-foot fences and cross the busy Harbor Freeway to reach the freight yards. "We'd been playing and Ricky was tired and sat down an coupler of the boxcar to rest," Geary said. "All of a sudden the train gave a bump and Ricky fell onto the tracks." "Two wheels went over him. I reached for his hand and pulled him from under the train just before the third wheel was about to go over him. Ricky wasn't crying. He just said, 'go get Marian.' We always call mommie Marian,' Geary sobbed."

(AP Wirephoto) Nevada Judge Warns Press to Re-From Commenting on McCarran C LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP)—Federal Judge Roger Foley today directed newspaper men and publishers to refrain from expressing opinion of the credibility of any witness during trial of the million dollar damage suit against U.S. Senator Pat McCarran, Nevada Democrat, and others by the Las Vegas Sun. The Sun claims Senator McCarran arranged an advertising boycott against the newspaper because of critical comment it carried about the Senator. The federal judge said that if there is any violation of his directive "I shall request the U.S. attorney to bring that person or company into court." In making the unusual order Judge Foley referred to a column in today's edition of the Sun, published by H. M. Greenspun who filed the suit against McCarran. JUDGE FOLEY said the column referred to testimony of casino employees, managers and operators in denying that pressure had been put on them to withdraw advertising from the Sun. “If this had been a jury trial I should have immediately declared a mistrial,” said Judge Foley. “As it is a court trial I shall not allow the comment to influence me in any way.” “Obviously there has been perjury committed in this case and when the court makes its decision it will be clearly shown who is lying.” Judge Foley called attention with Mountain City Co stock scandals.

Calif.—Mostly clear tonight and Friday but night and early morning low clouds and local fogs along coast. Reaffirms ‘Inherent Powers’ Will Bow to Adverse Supreme Court Decision, However, President Says WASHINGTON (P) — President Truman said today (a) he is sure of his power to seize industries in an emergency, (b) he likes all the men who have come out for the Democratic nomination for president, and (c) he believes the government clean-up will take care of itself under his new attorney general. Truman also said he doesn't know whether Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois might be persuaded to seek or accept the Democratic nomination. Politics took second place in the news conference which was highlighted by the president's statement that he has power to seize industries in time of national emergency. Nobody—and he included both Congress and the Courts—can take that power away, he said. But when pressed by questions on what he would do if the Supreme Court specifically denies his authority to seize and operate the steel industry, the president said he would turn the mills back to their managements. He added, however, that he did not believe the court would do that. The president smilingly parried questions from reporters who said they were trying to reconcile his reassertion of “inherent” presidential powers with his willingness to yield on the steel seizure. Truman reminded questioners that any act of Congress must be signed by the president—a plain reference to the president’s power. Kefauver Thrives On Opposition, SAVINGS—Mrs. Elbert E. after she apparently burned—while burning trash. The Mrs. White usually kept tied to seek or accept the Democratic nomination. Politics took second place in the news conference which was highlighted by the president's statement that he has power to Kefauver Thrives On Opposition, Backers Claim By The Associated Press The more opposition Sen. Estes Kefauver gets in his race for the Democratic presidential nomination, two sources said today, the faster he seems to run. Two senate colleagues of the Tennessee, Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and James Murray of Montana, said any opposition from President Truman would enhance Kefauver's bid. And Clarence Streit, a member of the Atlantic Union committee's board of governors, said the Nebrasks and Florida primary votes were a rebuke on Kefauver's advocacy of a federation of free nations. Humphrey and Murray were interviewed after President Truman was quoted yesterday as saying he hopes supporters of California Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown will win the state's JJune 3 primary. The Brown ticket is opposed by a slate favoring Kefauver. Brown made the statement after a White House visit and said it was authorized by Truman. However, the White House said later Truman wished Brown's delegation good luck but intended no implications about Kefauver. Humphrey and Murray said they doubt Truman is trying to stop Kefauver. "It has become pretty obvious that $stes Kefauver thrives on the opposition of Democratic party leaders," Humphrey said. "The president is too smart a politician not to know that." Marine Burglar Loses Out to Two Rivers Flood 2000 Acres in San Joaquin FRESNO (UP) — More than 2000 acres of San Joaquin valley farmland were under water today following breaks in the levees of both the Kings and San Joaquin rivers. The breaks, which occurred during the night, left a 70-foot breach in the San Joaquin levee above Dos Palos and a 15-foot gap in a levee along the north fork of the Kings river northeast of Lemoore. Seepage from the San Joaquin River Body of Drowned Santa Ana Man Found in Bay Found floating near a boat rental pier close to the Coast Highway bridge across Newport Bay, the body of Donald R. Komrosky, 41, of Santa Ana, who drowned last Sunday in the upper bay, was recovered from the water this morning. Attendants at the boat pier discovered the body and it was removed from the bay by the Harbor Patrol. Komrosky drowned last Sunday when a fishing boat capsized in the upper bay. His brother-in-law, Jack Thompson of Santa Ana, swam to shore, but Komrosky disappeared and efforts to locate the body failed. Komrosky, who leaves a widow, Julia, was employed at an auto body shop in Santa Ana. Funeral services will be announced later by the H. R. Brown mortuary in Santa Ana. Marine Burglar Loses Out to Irate Housewife SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Teenage life around San Francisco started off on a violent turn last night when a peninsula housewife chased an 17-year-old Marine for two blocks with his own hunting knife. The Marine was found hiding under a bed in his mother's home. He was in the Redwood city jail today. Deputy Sheriff Frank Campbell identified him as Richard E. Hines, AWOL from Camp Pendleton. Campbell said the young Marine left San Diego by plane last night expressly for the purpose of robbing the strong box of his former employer, Joseph J. Bell Jr., of Broadmoor. Campbel said Mrs. Bell surprised the boy just after he had broken open the strong box. She picked up the lad's hunting knife. He fled with Mrs. Bell chasing him for two blocks. Police later tracked Hines down. The strong box contained 20 cents. PHILADELPHIA (UP) — Curt Simmons pitched a three-hit shutout and clubbed an inside-the-park homer today to personally lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6 to 0 victory over the Janet Lilly. FRESNO (UP)—More than 2000 acres of San Joaquin valley farmland were under water today following breaks in the levees of both the Kings and San Joaquin rivers. The breaks, which occurred during the night, left a 70-foot breach in the San Joaquin levee above Dos Palos and a 15-foot gap in a levee along the north fork of the Kings river northeast of Lemoore. Seepage from the San Jotquin river also caused some flooding in the Firebaugh area. Reports from there said river water has surrounded several buildings and caused some families to move to higher ground as a precautionary measure. The levee break near Dos Palos has inundated about 1000 acres, including some 350 acres planted to cotton. Authorities said live-stock men were ready to evacuate cattle should the river rise suddenly or should the levee repairs take too long. Nearly 100 men worked on the Kings river levee with bulldozers and sandbags during the night. A spokesman said 1000 acres were flooded, but he added crews are hopeful they will have the situation under control by late today.
