Industrial Apprentices May Seek Deferment from Military Service Deferment of apprentices from military service is now possible under regulations just issued by Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national director of selective service, according to an announcement by Paul Scharrenberg, director of the department of industrial relations and state administrator of apprenticeship. The regulations were issued pursuant to the president's executive order 10306, signed on June 26, 1952, authorizing deferments for apprentices in industry to parallel similar regulations for college students, agricultural workers, and professioned people. Principal effect of the regulations in California is that the Division of Apprenticeship Standards in the Department of Industrial Relations must first certify to the State Director of Selective Service that: 1. The training program is for a generally accepted apprenticeable occupation. (Selling, retailing, managerial, professional, semi-professional, or agricultural occupations are excluded.) 2. The training program requires 4000 or more hours of work experience to learn (roughly two years), plus 144 hours or more a year of organized related school instruction. 3. The apprenticeship program has been in operation for at least one year. 4. If the State Director of Selective Service accepts the program, then the apprentice or his employer or the joint labor-management apprenticeship committee that supervises his training under the state apprenticeship law, may request the local draft board for a training in both his on-the-job training and related trade instruction. He must either be engaged in or have completed not less than 1000 hours (about six months) of apprentice training in an occupation listed as critical by the Secretary of Labor on the current list of critical occupations, or be engaged in or have activity not less than 2000 hours (about a year) of apprentice training in an activity necessary to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest.

Confessed Rapist Sentenced to Jail and Probation in Santa Ana Three years probation, with six months in jail, was the sentence administered Friday to Daniel Mendez, 25, Santa Ana pugillist, who pleaded guilty to rape of a 14-year-old girl Dec. 8, 1950. He appeared before Superior Judge Robert Gardner in Santa Ana. Judge Gardner denied probation to Domingo E. Medina, 18, of Westminster, and sent him to county jail for a year, for possession of a marijuana cigarette. Medina had refused to cooperate by telling where he got the cigaret, insisting that he "found" it in a park. "The amount of marijuana in parks and vacant lots is alarming." Three years probation, with six months in jail, was the sentence administered Friday to Daniel Mendez, 25, Santa Ana pugilist, who pleaded guilty to rape of a 14-year-old girl Dec. 8, 1950.

Young Magician Entertains Local Optimists Starring in a startling display of legerdemain those two Ana-Optimists with acts of magic at the Optimists' regular dinner meeting held in the newly constructed Optimist Youth Center Thursday night. With a bagful of tricks the youthful wizard of magic, assisted by his sister, brought live rabbits from flaming pans, escaped from padlocked chains seemingly at will, and pulled yards of brilliant silk from hollow tubes and all to witty patter thoroughly enjoyed by his adult audience. Charles Pinney, past president of the El Centro Optimists, recently returned from the international convention held in Louisville, Ky., highlighted the events. Complimenting the Anaheim man on the outstanding success of their continuous school safety program featuring signed safe driving parent pledges, painted caution crosswalk signs, a regularly published safety bulletin and the inspection and scotch-liting of all bicycles. He predicted that other communities in Southern California would follow the example set by Anaheim, Fullerton, El Centro and Alhambra. Optimist President Al Garey wielded the gavel.

Brewing Company Suit in Court Nicotine poisoning resulting from drinking a can of beer which contained a cigaret stub was claimed by Mrs. Myrtle Sicard of Santa Ana, who asks more than $50,000 damages against the Acme Brewing Co., in a suit which went to trial today in Superior Judge Franklin G. West's court in Santa Ana. The nicotine poisoning almost caused her death, Mrs. Sicard claims. She is temporarily living in San Diego. The incident on which the suit is based occurred Jan. 26, 1951. Her attorney, H. Rodger Howell of Santa Ana, based the suit on two theories, one being the company's breach of warranty of the purity of its product, the other being alleged negligence in manufacture of the beer. Suit Brought in Local Accident Injuries received in an automobile collision last March 1 at Chapman ave. and Harbor blvd., south of Anaheim, were made the basis of a suit for $5091 damages filed in Superior court by Patricia Parsons against Bill Roy Deem. The girl, being a minor, brought the action through her father, O. K. Parsons. She was riding in a car driven by Clifford K. Wilson at the time of the accident. Deem was driving the other car. An epidemic of encephalitis, otherwise known as sleeping sickness, may break out in California's Central Valley this year, unless control agencies and individual householders take vigorous action against the mosquitoes which transmits the disease, Dr. Wilton L. Halverson, state director of Public Health, warned today. Threat of a mosquito borne epidemic is indicated in reports of both human and horse cases in the San Joaquin Valley, he said. This year's combination of conditions favorable to spread of the disease led to a recent 'council of war' in which health officials discussed ways of meeting the impending danger. As a result of the meeting, Halverson urged individual householders to take the following action: 1. ELIMINATE mosquito breeding sources around premises, namely, any standing, stagnant water. 2. Keep mosquitoes out of the house by careful screening of doors and windows, and kill any that get into the house. 3. All persons, particularly children, who are believed to be more susceptible to the disease than adults, should protect themselves by remaining indoors during evening hours, when mosquitos usually attack, and by using mosquito repellants when outdoor exposure is necessary. Halverson asked health departments and private physicians to be alert for cases and report them, so that an up-to-the-minute picture of state-wide conditions can be obtained. Publishers' Assn. to Take Up Palm Springs Press Freedom Controversy By H. C. MacArthur SACRAMENTO. (CNS)—Some inquiries have been made as to the outcome of the battle over freedom of information in Palm Springs where the Palm Springs News published by Percy M. Whiteside, was refused permission to photograph city records for reproduction in his newspaper. Whiteside first sought permission to photograph checks that had been paid to city officials and was denied this permission. Later, there was an election contest involving the changing of a precinct voters' index, which the News sought to photograph, and again was refused permission. Whiteside, who is in the freedom of information battle for keeps, took this latter issue to court, and secured an order compelling the city clerk of Palm Springs to produce the public record in the form of a precinct voters' index, but, as he described it, the point of actual photography was compromised to the extent that the city was permitted to "photostat" and the paper in turn was permitted to photograph only the photostat copy. However," said Whiteside, "although the city's photostat was very poor, it did show the illegal alterations made, which were not revealed in a so-called 'certified' typewritten copy which had been refused by us. "SO MORALLY—and pictorially—our point has been won, but it seems that with the present city attorney, we would have to get a court order for each occa- For here is a city attorney whose salary is paid by the people of his community. The paper on which the records are written is paid for by the taxpayers, and the salaries of whom ever put the information on the paper are paid by the taxpayers. Yet the man in authority arbitrarily denies the newspaper, which desires to carry certain information to the people, in this particular instance concerning an irregularity, the right to submit to the people who own the information, that particular information in photographic form. AND TO HEAP indignity upon indignity, even when compelled to do so by court order, the same petty official refuses to accept the order as precedent and continues to make things tough for the press and the public. It is small wonder with a situation like this existing in the free and independent state of California, that the California Newspaper Publishers association has taken up the entire subject of freedom of information, and is now considering legislation to be offered at the next session which would unequivocally open all information to the public. Many publishers hope that such legislation will be sufficiently strong to wipe those public officials out of office through misfeasance charges in the event they attempt to evade what is hoped will be the expressed intent of the legislature. For a few such charges would bring the rest of the officials in line with Strike's End Permits Revived Freeway Work Settlement last Saturday of the six-weeks' strike of AFL Iron Workers and Operating Engineers today revived work on Santa Ana Freeway, a section of Highway 93 near Huntington Beach, and expansion of runways at El Toro Marine base. Santa Ana Freeway jobs in Santa Ana and south of Anaheim were affected by the strike, which ended with the agreement Saturday between the Operating Engineers and two associations of contractors, granting a wage increase of 19 to 24 cents per hour. The Iron Workers were scheduled to ratify a separate agreement. The strikes had tied up projects aggregating $250,000,000 in Southern California. DRUNK DRIVERS ARRESTED Raul Ruiz Sanches of La Jolla colony and Miguel Rodriguez Hernandez of Los Angeles both enjoyed the hospitality of the City of Anaheim following their arrest early this morning on charges of drunk and driving. Shop Friday Night 'Til 9 TUSTIN PLAYBOX PRESENTS Bobs Watson and Beverly Long In "The Imaginary Invalid" July 15 - July 26 (Tuesday Through Saturday) Audience Elevated though the city's photostat was very poor, it did show the illegal alterations made, which were not revealed in a so-called 'certified' typewritten copy which had been refused by us. "SO MORALLY—and pictorially—our point has been won, but it seems that with the present city attorney, we would have to get a court order for each occasion to force him to 'permit' photographing the record." Here is a situation which is guaranteed to raise the blood pressure of almost every newspaperman, and rightfully should cause some boiling by the citizenry if the citizenry has any interest at all in knowing what its government is doing. Many publishers hope that such legislation will be sufficiently strong to wipe those public officials out of office through misfeasance charges in the event they attempt to evade what is hoped will be the expressed intent of the legislature. For a few such charges would bring the rest of the officials in line with the public's desires. The Iroquois tribes, estimated to have numbered little more than 16,000 people, are credited by historians with checking French expansion southward from Canada and thus permitting English occupation of what later became the United States.
