Memos Drew Pearson, who has an eye for the seamier side of things, has announced a series of "memos to McGranery," the first of which appears today on Page 4. VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANA Police Rout Heavy Vehicles Off Center St. with Tickets "Temporary measures have reduced the heavy diesel truck traffic on Center st. by about 60 per cent." Anaheim City Administrator Keith Murdoch estimated today. He referred to Police Department activity which has made it more profitable for truck drivers to take the long way around—on Orangethorpe ave. Police patrol men have been campaigning against noisy trucks on Center st. with their most effective weapons—citations. The nuisance value of the fines has proved effective in rerouting heavy traffic. Murdoch explained. Most of the tucks now turn off Lincoln ave. at Huntington Beach blvd. (Highway 39) and travel north to Orangethorpe ave. and then to the Santa Ana Canyon freeway via Yorba Bridge. More permanent measures are in the foreseeable future. Murdoch reported. Included in highway allocations for the coming fiscal which will handle traffic from both Imperial highway and Orangethorpe ave. While no allocation has been made for it yet, plans for an Orangethorpe ave. bridge near the present Jefferson st. bridge, north of Olive, have been made and it rates second to the Imperial bridge in priority, according to Murdoch. Seeking more feasible rerouting of heavy traffic from Lincoln ave. to Orangethorpe ave., the city of Anaheim has requested the Collier Interim Highway committee to expedite either the construction of a diagonal road from Alamitos Circle in Long Beach to Orangethorpe ave., or the early construction of a section of the proposed Los Coyotes freeway between the two avenues. Prospects for adoption of one of two alternate routes seem good, according to Murdoch, but cooperation of the county and other cities within the county Vandals Slash Property of Anaheim Firms A wave of vandalism has Anaheim firms slashed clot and upholstery and sullied material in the past two days. latest reported entry was at talia cleaners, La Palma palm sts., where vandals fo entry last night and, acco to the owner, "messed up place."

Sudone, Fullerton, have indicated they are constructing soap box derby cars. Kelsey meanwhile reported today that, although four of the original entrans have dropped out, the new registrants bring the Anaheim drivers to 20. Sponsored jointly on the local scene by Cone Brothers, the Optimist club and the Anaheim Gazette, the Soap Box Derby trials are held on the official derby track at the Arroyo Seco park. There, divided into a senior and junior division of competition, the young drivers, ranging from 11 to 15 years, roll their cars down the steep slope in a series of elimination heats. Last year's Anaheim's Joel Habener, who will race again this year, was runner-up in the senior division among the more than 800 boys competing. This year's derby, to be held July 23, 24 and 26, is expected to attract more than 1,000 young drivers from all parts of the Southland. Built by rigid specifications of safety and speed, the "soap box" derby cars are entirely boy-built. Los Angeles champion will win a trip to Akron, Ohio, to compete in national finals in August.

MARYSVILLE, Calif. (AP) — four-man team from Sacramento won the four-mile relay in the California Southwestern Pacific Regional Amateur roller skating championships last night. ANAHEIM GAZETE EST. 1870 PER ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1952 Swedish, Infuriated at Order Jet Plane Pilots Escorted Rescue Planes Continue Search for Missing Air Transport STOCKHOLM (AP)—Infuriated Sweden kept up her search over the Baltic today for a missing transport plane and sent along jet fighter escorts with orders to shoot if the Russians attacked. The traditionally neutral nation's stern action reflected the anger expressed by the government, press and people over the shooting down yesterday of an unarmed Swedish flying boat by two Soviet MIG-15 jet fighter planes. The seven crew members—two of them wounded—of the downed plane were picked up from the sea by a small German freighter and taken to Hangoe, Finland. SENATOR BREWSTER Loses Election Sen. Brewster Of Maine Voted Out of Office By The Associated Press Maine Republicans voted Sen. Brewster out of office today. And the Army let it be known it has no objection to Gen. Douglas MacArthur's speaking at the Republican national convention. Brewster, fifth ranking Republican in the Senate, is a staunch backer of Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio for the GOP presidential nomination. So is MacArthur. The presidential jockeying was not an issue in the Maine primary although Gov. Frederick G. Payne, who unseated Brewster in the voting yesterday, is a backer of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the nomination. The 63-year-old Brewster has been in public life for 30 years and has been in the Senate for 12 years. He was a key figure in the Senate's investigation of Pearl Harbor attack. Payne, who is 51, has been governor of Maine since 1949. He put out a victory statement thanking the voters for "a great tribute." The total turnout was the greatest for any primary in Maine, numbering 155,574. The reflected the anger expressed by the government, press and people over the shooting down yesterday of an unarmed Swedish flying boat by two Soviet MIG-15 jet fighter planes. The seven crew members—two of them wounded—of the downed plane were picked up from the sea by a small German freighter and taken to Hangoe, Finland. They had been searching for a Swedish transport DC-3 missing since Friday with eight men aboard. It was assumed here the Russians had shot down that craft, also, but the search continued today. A Swedish air force spokesman announced early today that all aircraft participating in the continuing search have been supplied with jet fighter escort. He said the fighters had been told to return fire if attacked. SOME 5000 furious Swedes, shouting "we will see Stalin hanged," and "down with the communistic warmongers," demonstrated against yesterday's attack. The government handed Russian Ambassador Constantine Rodinov a "strong protest" against this "act of violence" and demanded "swift punishment of those responsible for the outrage." The captain of the Swedish plane said he was jumped by the two Soviet fighters about 60 miles off the Soviet-held Estonian coast, in an area where the Russians are reported to be holding vast sea and air maneuvers. Six of the plane crew were flown back to Stockholm last night to appear before an inquiry board of high air force officials. The seventh, who had been shot in the arm, remained in a Hangoe hospital. Editorials in Stockholm newspapers of all political shades bitterly assailed the Russian attack as "piracy," "gangsterism," and "ruthless terrorism."

He was a key figure in the Senate's investigation of Pearl Harbor attack. Payne, who is-51, has been governor of Maine since 1949. He put out a victory statement thanking the voters for "a great tribute." The total turnout was the greatest for any primary in Maine, numbering 155,574. The vote was very close. With only eight precincts missing, the returns showed Payne: 68,485; Brewster, 63,357. The Army ruling today did not mention MacArthur by name but it was obviously clarifying its position on MacArthur when it said Army rules dealing with prohibitions against political activities do not apply to five-star generals. Trial of Assault Case Begins in SA Prosecution of Arthur Reyes, who denies that he took part in a felonious assault upon Santiago Sandoval during a brawl at Stanton last Feb. 24, was under way today before a jury in Superior Judge Raymond Thompson's court at Santa Ana. The prosecution produced witnesses who asserted that Reyes was involved in the fight. Frank Ybarra, companion of Sandoval, said that Reyes and Ray Mendoza both struck him with a heavy chain as well as hitting Sandoval with it. Sandoval testified similarly. Mendoza, who already had pleaded guilty to the assault charge, said that Reyes took no part in the fight. Other witnesses testified that they could not identify anyone except Mendoza. State forestry fire trucks controlled a 70-acre grass fire on the Cowan heights ranch at Chapman ave. and Newport rd., El Modena, after a battle of nearly four hours yesterday afternoon. The seventh, who had been shot in the arm, remained in a Hangoe hospital. Editorials in Stockholm newspapers of all political shades bitterly assailed the Russian attack as "piracy," "gangsterism," and "ruthless terrorism." Oil Worker Dead After Huntington Beach Accident Crushed under the weight of heavy timbers when a section of an oil derrick collapsed while being dismantled at Huntington Beach yesterday, Victor L. Lalonde, 44, Lynwood, employee of the Standard Oil Co., died 10 minutes after the accident. Lalonde was at work on the lower end of the central section while Charles C. Grider worked at its top, removing bolts. As Grider removed the last bolt, the section slipped downward and both men rode it to the ground. Lalonde landed in a siting position and the section of derrick literally fell into his lap, crushing his pelvis. He died before he could be released. Grider escaped with a deep wound in his hip. Lalonde, who has been employed by Standard Oil for 20 years leaves a widow, Mrs. Allice May Lalonde, six brothers and two sisters. Four of his brothers and one sister reside in Santa Ana.

The enraged demonstrators yelled "We will see Stalin hanged," and "down with the communistic warmongers." Infuriated Sweden kept up her search for the missing transport plane today and sent along jet fighter escorts with orders to shoot if the Russians attacked. Public Opening Of Optimist Youth Center Set Opening wide their doors, the Optimists proudly invite the public to inspect the brand new Anaheim Optimist Youth Center June 19, from 6:00 to 10 p.m. Refreshments will be served and a short public dedication ceremony is scheduled in order that the Optimists may thank the many generous folks in this community who so liberally contributed to make the building a reality. Like an old-fashioned houseraising the building was constructed. Built with brick, mortar and steel, the walls were erected under the watchful eyes of some of Anaheim's top contractors. The list of those who gave labor, material and money reads like a raged demonstrator yelled "We will see Stalin hanged," and "down with the communistic warmongers." Russians Offer to Return 186 US Lend-Lease Ships WASHINGTON UP—A surprise offer by the Russians to give back 186 American ships was regarded by State Department officials today as advancing negotiations for settling the Soviet Union's 11-Billion-dollar World War Two lend-lease account. Moscow made the offer yesterday in an unexpected renewal of negotiations which have dragged on more than five years. The ships are among 670 turned over to the Soviets by this country during the war. Yesterday's State Department meeting was the first to take up the long-standing dispute since last August. It left the two governments as far apart as ever on other major issues. Officials said, however, the proposal to turn in addition, a Russian group headed by Boris I. Karavaev, temporarily in charge of the Soviet embassy, renewed an offer of 300 million dollars for a final over-all lend-lease settlement. This would be their payment for all other ships, and for machine tools, locomotives and other civilian type goods still usable at VJ day. The U.S., which is asking 800 million dollars plus the ships, again rejected the offer. Officials said it was made plain, however, that this figure might be scaled down if Moscow came up with a constructive proposal to bridge the gap. mists may thank the many generous folks in this community who so liberally contributed to make the building a reality. Like an old-fashioned house-raising the building was constructed. Built with brick, mortar and steel, the walls were erected under the watchful eyes of some of Anaheim's top contractors. The list of those who gave labor, material and money reads like a who's who page from among the business concerns of Orange county. "To our many friends," stated Harwood Larson, retiring Optimist president, "we say 'thank you.' Certainly without their help this undertaking would never have been accomplished. Money and materials were liberally donated. Skilled craftsmen from every trade were quick to lend a hand. Of the Optimists themselves may I add, they are a bunch of fellows living true to their motto 'Friend of the Boy.'" Already the new building is occupied by the executive offices of the Northern Orange County Boy Scout council. Lloyd Paxton, director, and his staff have moved into the new quarters designed expressly for their convenience. "This is only the beginning," adds President A. A. Garey. "Now that we have the building we are after the boys. Plans for remodeling the old building are even now underway. Craft and art groups have been tentatively planned. Here the kids may have their own clubrooms where they may enjoy their own games."

Santa Ana Council Opposes Renaming Of Canyon Freeway Proposed changing of the name of Santa Ana canyon freeway to Corona freeway, as advocated by the Corona Chamber of Commerce, was opposed last night by the Santa Ana city council, which followed the recommendation of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce. The same reason advanced by the Corona Chamber of Commerce for changing the name of the canyon freeway was given by the Santa Ana bodies for opposing the change. Corona Chamber said the name Santa Ana canyon freeway would be confused in the minds of motorists with Santa Ana freeway. Santa Ana city council said the motorists would be confused by changing the name, being used to the present designation of Santa Ana canyon highway. Six Rescued from Foundering Boat Six passengers aboard the boat Blue Mistress, out of Newport Harbor, were rescued yesterday when the boat started to founder of Dana Point. Skipper Paul Phillips of Laguna Beach radioed to the Coast Guard for help when his boat began to fill. A Coast Guard cutter towed the Blue Mistress to Newport Harbor without further mishap. A small sailboat foundered yesterday of 31st st., Newport Beach, but its owner righted the boat and sailed it back to port without assistance.
