VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH Pilot Plows Into Santa Ana Alamitos Navy Banshee Jet Flyer Killed Crashing through the roof of a Santa Ana residence yesterday afternoon at 3:30 after his twinjet navy plane had begun to disintegrate in the air, a young navy flier buried himself and fragments of his plane in a deep crater gouged out of the front lawn at 1305 S. Parton st. His body was ground to bits and portions of it probably will never be found, it was said. Navy authorities today identified the pilot as Lt. Robert N. Anderson of Los Angeles, member of the naval reserve VF 777, who was on a two weeks' annual training tour of duty. This was his second flight in a jet plane. Dozens of horrified spectators saw the twin jet plane start to disintegrate in the air during a dive above the city while on a routine training flight.

This was his second flight in a jet plane. Dozens of horrified spectators saw the twin jet plane start to disintegrate in the air during a dive above the city while on a routine training flight. Some thought leaflets were being dropped as the falling craft shed articles of metal. NORMAN YOUNG, telephone company employee at work on Wilshire ave. between Ross and Van Ness sts., said the plane was diving at him and he thought it would nose into the pavement at his feet. But at the last minute, the pilot, still fighting his craft, leveled off enough to skim across the roofs of houses for another two blocks. Then it dropped a wing in the rear yard of a residence and slanted down through the roof of the next house that of Ray Stedman who operates a bicycle fixit shop at Costa Mesa. The Stedman home was virtually demolished, its entire front torn off. Next door, the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Graham, was moved slightly from its foundations, its entire interior walls and ceilings being cracked. The plane plowed into the front lawn of the Stedman place, scooping out a crater 10 feet deep and 25 feet across, and burying it at the bottom of this hole. Parts of the plane flew in all directions alone Parton st. and for another block beyond. One piece of metal slammed into the rear yard of Robert David, newspaperman, 1307 S. Garnsey, a block beyond the crash, and narrowly missed his son, Gary, 12. MRS. HAZEL McCALLUM, 1326 S. Parton st., several hundred feet from the crash, was taken to Santa Ana community hospital suffering from shock and abdominal pains, although she was (Continued on Page 8) Four Children Cut END OF THE BANSHEE—A Navy Ban-shee jet fighter plane crashed through the house above, 1305 S.

Francis Wilson said Four Children Cut In Wading Pool By Broken Glass Four children suffered cuts while in the wading pool at city park yesterday, all injured by a broken one pound coffee jar carried into the pool by an unidentified small boy. Sandra Marlette Bass, 7, Long Beach, suffered a two inch cut in the calf of her leg that reached nearly to the bone. David Vander Lann, 4, Artesia, received a three fourths inch gash in his left foot. Both were treated at Johnson-Gendel clinic. Wayne William Idsinga, 5, Norwalk, and Shirley Mae Harrema, 3, Artesia, each received less serious cuts to their feet and were treated in the plunge office. Bystanders said the unidentified boy was warned not to take the jar into the water, but that his mother interfered and said he was merely going to get some water in it and bring it back out of the pool. No one saw either the boy or the jar coming out of the pool later. Police searched the park for both boy and mother, but could not locate them.

Slayer of Columbia Coed Confesses Murder; Motive Revenge on Society NEW YORK (AP)—An Air Force veteran obsessed with a theory for prolonging life was brought today to New York where he says he killed a blonde he didn't even know on the Columbia university campus. Bayard P. Peakes, 30, strode off a train from Boston, appearing almost to drag a detective to whom he was handcuffed. He was brought here after confessing orally in Boston to killing pretty, blonde Miss Eileen Fahey, 18, last Monday. Boston police said Peakes, who had been given a mental discharge from the Air Force told them he just "wanted to kill someone" because of an academic failure. Miss Fahey, a bookkeeper, was shot to death at her desk in the American Physical society office on the campus as she read the first of three letters she had received earlier that day from Pfc. Ronald Leo of the First Marine division in Korea. Leo is flying here to attend Miss Fahey's funeral Saturday. Miss Fahey "just happened to be the first person I met in the office," Peakes was quoted by police as saying. Investigators said Peakes' only actual contact with electronics was when he was enrolled briefly in a physics course at Northeastern university, Boston, in 1946. They said he left by request because of eccentricities. "Last month," Capt. Wilson quoted Peakes as saying, "I heard they were going to drop the electronics course at Columbia. So, I decided I was going to New York to kill somebody who was a member of the American Physical society, preferably a man." NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1952 anta Ana Home Pre-Convention Showdown On Civil Rights Expectation By The Associated Press Democratic platform writers headed into a pre-convention down on the Civil Rights issue in Chicago today. Labor union and Negro leaders demanded a platform least as strong' as the one that brought a Dixie revolt at Democratic convention and lost the electoral votes of four states to a third party candidate. President Truman made it plain he wants no compromise. In a fighting message to be printed in the official program of the convention opening Monday, Truman said "there must be no betrayal of the new deal and fair deal." The president's message did little to clarify the muddled presidential nomination picture. The latest Associated Press tabulation of delegate strength, based on pledges and stated preferences, showed: Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee 256 votes, Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia 120½, Averell Harriman of New York 112, Sen. Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma 43, Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois 43, Vice-President Alben Barkley of Kentucky 29, all others 194, uncommitted or contested 404½. Nomination requires 616 votes.

Anaheimer Said To Have Beaten Wife and Child Mrs. Gloria Dorame Guerrero, 1116 Swan st., Anaheim, yesterday filed battery charges against her husband, Ernest Lemus Guerero, following a family altercation in which Guerrero allegedly beat her about the face and broke an eardrum by striking her in the ear. The quarrel developed, Mrs. Guerrero told police, when she requested that her husband find work so that she could quit her job at the Crown Motel. She said she has been supporting the family, including Yolanda, 2½, and Michael, 1½. Guerrero, employed by the Bethlehem Steel Co., and out on strike, made no attempt to find temporary employment, she said.

The delegation is expected to be pledged to Russell, who is supported by most of the state's top Democratic leaders. Other delegates already were assembling in Chicago, and Kefauver and Russell were on hand to meet them. Harriman, in Washington, had a plane reservation for Chicago (11:30 a.m., EST). Condemnation Suit Is Filed By Hospital First condemnation suit to be filed by a hospital under a new California law, which is also the first of its kind in the United States, was being heard today by Superior Judge Robert Gardner in Santa Ana, as the Santa Ana community hospital moved to condemn private property needed for expansion. Atty. R. M. Crookshank, Santa Ana, represents the hospital in the suit, with Atty. Martell Thompson of Orange appearing for the Kindred market property owners on E. Washington ave., Santa Ana. The new statute, enacted, by the last legislature, provides that non-profit hospitals can condemn private property, contiguous to the hospital property if they can show necessity, and if the hospital conducts a nurse training program.

Acreage devoted to tomatoes is down 24 per cent from last year's record 148,-300 acres which produced a crop valued at $68,742,000. The new statute, enacted by the last legislature, provides that non-profit hospitals can condemn private property, contiguous to the hospital property if they can show necessity, and if the hospital conducts a nurse training program.

Dean Moved To New Red Camp In POW Shakeup MUNSAN, Korea (P) — The communists today said they have moved their prize captive, U.S. Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, from a prisoner of war camp at the bomb-shattered capital of Pyongyang to another camp in North Korea but did not give his new location. The disclosure came in an exchange of letters by liaison officers of the United Nations command and communist truce teams at Panmunjom. The Allied communication demanded an accounting of 1891 militant U.S. soldiers believed in communist stockades. The U.N. command said it has been making the request since December with "totally unsatisfactory" results. The Allies at the same time answered a similar request from the communists for an accounting of 1014 Allied-held prisoners with information on all but four of the captives. The reds announced his transfer in notifying the U.N. that they had abolished three prisoners of war camps and set up six new ones. Four of the new ones are at or near Pyongyang, target of a destructive Allied air raid last week. The disclosure came during the fourth day of a communist-called recess in secret armistice negotiations at Panmunjom over the deadlocked issue of prisoner exchange. The five-man truce delegations are scheduled to reconvene at 11 a.m. tomorrow (9 p.m. Thursday, EST). Neither side has proposed to end the secrecy agreement which has blocked out news of the war.
