Parade Division Lays Plans for Hallowe’en A great caravan reminiscent of the mass migrations through Arizona, common during the gold rush era, will be presented by Division 4 (Arizona-Western), according to its captain, Al Marcoux. Meeting last night in Chungking cafe with his committee, Marcoux outlined basic ideas for the division and the committee went to work on them. The division will be sponsored by the employees of 'Kwikset Locks, Inc., with the aid of the Anaheim Riding club, represented by Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Jones of Brea. The division will be split into four sections, all of them to be authentically "wild and woolly" west, according to Marcoux. Since the Hallowe'en festival theme is American Indian, the parade committee decided to feature Indians from Indian reservations in Arizona and other points, dressed in their most colorful ceremonial regalia. WILD AND WOOLY There will be four bands consisting of Indian and Western outfits, riding groups and such Old West characters as gamblers, cowboys, sourdoughs, desert rats, horse thieves and can-can girls. There will be a cavalcade of covered wagons, stage coaches and chuck wagons. Floats and stunts will adhere to the western theme. Planners Approve Reclassification Of Site for Unidentified Factory With the veil of secrecy still safely hiding its identity from the public view, a proposed new industry has acquired planning commission approval of a site in Anaheim on which to locate. Planning commissioners voted to approve the application of Jess Medaris, representing Fred Frederickson of Bellflower, for a change of zone on a 4.6-acre site at the northwest corner of Orange and Vermont sts, from R-A (residential-agricultural) to M-1 (light industrial). Controversy raged during the short commission meeting yesterday over whether or not the public had a right to know the name of the industry seeking to purchase the site after its change of classification had been granted. Commissioner Mel Gauer maintained that the commission had a right to a written statement and pledge as to the use to be made of the property by the proposed purchaser. He also objected to the fact that the Planning commission secretary, Bob Mungall, and city administrator, Keith Murdoch, had been informed of the industry's identity, and that the commission was to make a decision on their second-hand recommendation. Issue Clarified Medaris upheld the usual industry viewpoint that negotiations on location of a factory should be kept secret until released by the management staff channels. Since there is no special project in this field no breakdown of cost available. Reports are checked by the a WILD AND WOOLY There will be four bands consisting of Indian and Western outfits, riding groups and such Old West characters as gamblers, cowboys, sourdoughs, desert rats, horse thieves and can-can girls. There will be a cavalcade of covered wagons, stage coaches and chuck wagons. Floats and stunts will adhere to the western theme. Chamber Manager Earnie Moeller, who attended the Division 4 meeting, revealed that preparations for the 29th annual Hallowe'en Festival Pageant parade are well advanced over any previous year. Other divisions of the parade are "Story Book Tales," "Old Hallowe'en," "Holiday," "Mardi Gras," and "Grand Finale." Chief of Police Dies at Meeting Of City Council Chief of Police Ray Elmer States, 50, Tustin, died of a heart attack while attending a meeting of the Tustin city council last night. States collapsed in the council chamber and was rushed to Santa Ana Community hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Formerly a patrolman in the Tustin police department for several years, States had been chief since last Jan. 20. He was born in Kansas and had lived in Orange for 10 years, although he headed the Tustin force. Two Women Found Locked in Bloody Battle in Quarrel over Spanking One Santa Ana woman was in a Santa Ana hospital while another woman was in the psychopathic ward of a different hospital following their bloody struggle in a bathroom, one being armed with an eight-inch bread knife. The quarrel occurred late yesterday when Mrs. Patricia Hollingsworth spanked one of the three children of Mrs. Mary Smith O'Shields, 25, at the O'Shields' home, 418 East 14th st., Santa Ana. Mrs. O'Shields seized the bread knife from the kitchen table and attacked Mrs. Hollingsworth, according to police called by a witness, Mrs. Dorothy Hunt, after she had failed in an attempt to disarm Mrs. O'Shields. Bloody Struggle Police said they found Mrs. Hollingsworth and Mrs. O'Shields locked in a furious struggle on the bathroom floor in a spread-and city administrator, Keith Murdoch, had been informed of the industry's identity, and that the commission was to make a decision on their second-hand recommendation. Issue Clarified Medaris upheld the usual industry viewpoint that negotiations on location of a factory should be kept secret until released by the management. He revealed that a 33,000 square-foot factory would be built which would employ 150 people. When lifted to her feet, Mrs. O'Shields was still enraged. She seized a bottle of hair oil and hurled it at Mrs. Hollingsworth. Police said her marksmanship was traditionally feminine and she hated Mrs. Hunt. Officers escorted her to the front porch, but she broke away, ran back to the bathroom and drank half a bottle of purple shoe dye. Rushed to Hospital She was rushed to the county hospital and was subjected to a stomach pump, then placed in the psychopathic ward. Her children aged 8, 4 and 22 months were taken to the county juvenile home. Police filed a charge against Mrs. O'Shields. Justice Dept.

Defendants also are charged with refusing to allow exhibition of the 16 millimeter films within 10 miles of any established theater and to strictly limit exhibition in schools, churches, hospitals, USO centers and private clubs. "It is our hope this suit will free a good many recent feature films for showing on television," said James M. McGrath, acting chief of the anti-trust division here for the Justice department. Although most motion picture theaters use 35 millimeter films, it is common practice to make 16 millimeter copies for use in other outlets.

Montgomery, acceptance of annexation petition and authorization to commence annexation proceedings; 4. Acacia st., passage of a resolution of intention to call a special election.

Janss (Rex Coons) CALIFORNIA to Throw Them Out Gov. Stevenson Said Ready to Accept Presidential Nomination if Offered By JACK KELL CONVENTION HALL, Chicago (AP) — Angered southerners rebelled today against a "loyalty pledge" adopted by the Democratic convention and challenged the Truman "Fair Deal" Democrats to throw them out of the Party's conclave. The great north-south battle, pivoting about disputed "civil rights" proposals, roared to new heights of bitterness. But simultaneously there came a report that the man around whom this convention might unite — Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois—had said he would accept the presidential nomination if it is offered. Gov. Henry F. Schricker of Indiana quoted Stevenson as telling him he couldn't turn down the nomination if it were offered. However, Stevenson got out a statement later which — although not directly denying the Shricker report — said once again he wanted to run for governor of Illinois. Russell Spurned In light of the developing situation, Rep. Gene Cox of Georgia told reporters it was possible the name of Sen. Richard B. Russell would not be put before the convention. Cox contended the "loyalty rule" action was, in effect, tossing the November election to the Republican ticket of Gen. Dwight D.

Marine Arrested With Car-full Of Stolen Food Halted by police while speeding on East First st., in Santa Ana, shortly after midnight last night, Charles J. Griffin, 31, attached to the food service squadron at El Toro Marine base, was found in possession of a large quantity of food supplies. Although he stated he had purchased the food from the base commissary for $18, fourteen hours earlier, the police became suspicious because some of the food was still in a frozen condition. They turned Griffin over to the shore patrol. The supplies included several dozen eggs, several pounds of sausage, unwrapped, a large slab of bacon, a sack of flour and a 5 pound box of cheese, 5 pound sack of sugar, a 13 pound ham, tin of luncheon meat, 5 pound can of shortening and a pound of butter.
