The move unites the sales and operating forces of two well-established firms which for many years have been actively engaged in supplying this rapidly growing industrial area with paper and allied products. Walter W. Huelat, vice president and manager of Blake, Moffitt & Towne's Los Angeles division and in charge of the company's Southern California operations, commented that "for the past 29 years, the Corcoran Paper Co. has built a very successful business and has enjoyed the support of many loyal friends in the Long Beach and Santa Ana areas. It is a pleasure to join hands with its experienced and competent personnel in better servicing the growing needs of paper users here. In this expansion move, Blake, Moffitt & Towne is proud to take part in the growth and future of these thriving communities." Theodore P. Corcoran, president of the firm whose assets have been acquired, stated, "For some time, my associates and I have been planning to leave the paper business and devote our efforts to other fields of endeavor. We are very happy to have found in Blake, Moffitt & Towne an organization which is so well prepared to carry on and give our customers the best of service. Our successors will have our active assistance and cooperation in effecting the change-over with a minimum of inconvenience to the trade." Blake, Moffitt & Towne activities will continue under the direction of Millard J. Hines, Long Beach manager, while company affairs in Santa Ana and Orange County remain in charge of Robert Machen. Until operations can be consolidated, a total of four locations in the two cities will be maintained. One of the largest and best known paper distributing companies Columbia Coed's Slayer Sent to Mental Hospital NEW YORK (AP) — Bayard Peakes, the "eternal life" physicist who killed a pretty blonde secretary on the Columbia university campus, today was ordered confined as a lunatic. General Sessions Judge Edward J. McCullen committed him to Matacawan State hospital for the criminal insane at Beacon, N.Y. Such action had been recommended by physicianists, who had found the 29-year-old Peakes so mentally deranged he could not understand the murder charge against him, nor that he had done wrong. They said he was suffering from schizophrenia of a paranoid type. On last July 15, Peakes walked into the offices of the American Physical society on the Columbia campus, and shot to death 18-year-old Ellen Fahey—a girl he had never seen before. He said afterward he was angry with the Physical society not recognizing his theories on electronics and for prolonging life. He said he killed the girl to attract public attention.

Court Postpones Rupp Hearing in Payne Murder Preliminary hearing of William F. Rupp, 18, accused slayer of Ruby Ann Payne, 15-year-old Yorka Linda baby sitter, has been postponed from the original date, Aug. 21, to Aug. 25 at 10 a.m. in Santa Ana justice court. The postponement was granted for the convenience of the defense, at the request of Dep. Public Defender Samuel Dreizen. Dreizen has indicated that he may ask that the trial be set sometime during November, since the court calendar is crowded with intervening criminal cases. Dep. District Attorney James Devine, who will handle the preliminary hearing for the prosecution, said he would require no more than an hour to present his evidence, on which he will ask that Rupp be held for trial. At preliminary hearings, the prosecution is required only to show that the crime was committed and that there is "probable cause" for believing that the accused committed it. Proof that the girl was murdered, and that Rupp was present, together with an attempt to introduce statements he reportedly made following his arrest, admitting the killing, may cover the prosecution's case at the preliminary hearing, it was said. SA Gets Back Into Garbage Haul Problems Santa Ana city council faces another decision on the question of garbage and trash collections as it meets this morning. Airplanes Join Joaquin Valley Mosquito Fight FRESNO (AP)—Airplanes will "fog" several San Joaquin Valley communities with insecticide and bulldozoets will attack stagnant pools and ditches today in the start of one of California's biggest wars against disease-carrying mosquitos. The program is aimed at stamping out the mosquito which carries encephalitis, the dreaded sleeping sickness. The culex tarsalis mosquito is the principal carrier of the disease to humans. A tremendous spring and summer snowmelt this year gave it increased breeding places. Health officials thus far have avoided using the term epidemic. But most of them concede the disease is more prevalent this year than for many years past. Last week, 465 persons were hospitalized in California with one or more symptoms of sickness. Reliant Boy Scout Tells Story of Week Long Adventures in Sierras SONORA (AP)—Brent Bradberry today told a hair-raising story of how he survived seven days alone in the High Sierra using Boy Scout know-how. The husky Lynwood, Calif., youth, 13 today, walked into a camp Saturday, a week after he vanished on a fishing trip. Amazed doctors here said his physical condition was perfect, except for sore feet and bruises. Brent had a birthday reunion at 1 a.m. today with his father, Wenzel Bradberry, who had just returned from searching in another section of the mountains. They planned to drive later in the day to Los Angeles, where the father SA Gets Back Into Garbage Haul Problems Santa Ana city council faces another decision on the question of garbage and trash collections as it meets this evening, probably to call for bids on several alternate plans for handling the problem. The bids are expected to be open at the council's first September meeting, at which time the decision must be made. That decision will be whether to continue the city in the trash and garbage collection operations, the garbage being sold to a hog ranch at approximately $10,00 per year revenue to the city; or award of the collection to a private collector, the city to pay the collector a specified sum for each water meter in the city; or to award to a private collector, and let the collector negotiate directly with each householder on collection rates. Awarding the collection contract to a private operator, and getting the city out of the collection business, would save the oost of operating that department, and some members of the council believe the saving would be greater to the taxpayers than the cost of individually paying a private collector. for aid and was resting in the rear seat of the car when the end came.

CHIANG HALTS RED MONEY TAIPEH, Formosa, CP—Chiang Kai-Shek has ended a steady flow of money from Nationalist China to Communist China. Government sources estimated Chinese on Formosa had been sending about $200,000 a month via Hong Kong to relatives in Red China. The husky Lynwood, Calif., youth, 13 today, walked into a camp Saturday, a week after he vanished on a fishing trip. Amazed doctors here said his physical condition was perfect, except for sore feet and bruises. Brent had a birthday reunion at 1 a.m. today with his father, Wenzel Bradberry, who had just returned from searching in another section of the mountains. They planned to drive later in the day to Los Angeles, where the father is an executive for Sears, Roebuck and Co. Followed Stream Brent followed a stream, Cherry creek, downstream. Estimates of the distance he tramped, waded, swam and tumbled ranged from 20 to 50 miles. He frequently hunted for trails and crossed his path. "The third day out," Brent related, "I went over the falls. I'd been working my way down the river, sometimes wading, sometimes swimming, when all of a sudden I was caught in a heavy swirl of water. I was dragged downstream two miles and went over number of cascades and two waterfalls, one about 20 feet. "Somehow, there was a bend in the river and I managed to hang onto a big rock and pull myself out... I got out sopping wet, but found an old, rotten redwood tree, scooped out a nice bed and crawled in... It was warm and I slept all night." Saw "Wolves" The dark-haired lad said he was scared only the first night, when "I saw some wolf tracks and later a couple of lean wolves." Foresters believe had mistaken coyotes for wolves. Young Bradberry said he'd eaten only some pine nuts, juicy leaves, wild peppers and dried apricots he found. He also found two pairs of trousers at an abandoned camp to reinforce his own pants—worn through at the seat from sliding over rocks and underbrush. His trek took him from Emigrant Lake to a point 35 miles east of Sonora. The area is on the northwest fringe of Yosemite National park. Brent was united yesterday with an aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Osborne of Yuma, Ariz., who had flown here for the hunt. His father had started into the Leighton Lake area yesterday, before learning of Brent's escape from the wilderness. The search utilized five private planes, one Coast Guard and one U.S. Forest Service plane, dogs and horses, costing an estimated $5000.

A WAIL OF A RECEPTION FOR GENERAL'S WIFE—Attempts at appeasement by Mrs. Mark Clark just don't mean a thing to this little Korean. Lusty crying and a lot of tears are the answer to the big smile and the dangling wrist watch offered by the wife of the U.S. Far Eastern commander on her first visit to Severance Hospital in war-damaged Seoul. Mrs. Clark, visiting Korea with Gen. Clark, inspected the hospital Aug. 12, and saw the care given tragic little war victims. The hospital is supported by several U.S. Protestant and church groups. AF PHOTO Welcomed—By a Bomb Police Chief B. A. Hershey of Santa Ana entered his office briefly this morning, took one look, and acted quickly. There was a five-foot aerial bomb sitting on his desk. The chief was under the desk. Anyway, he had the impulse but he conquered it and took a cautious look at the block muster. It was empty, evidently no job used for practice loading. Painted black, it had the number "69" painted on it in orange. The bomb had been found on the lawn of Attorney L. A. West on Victoria drive Sunday morning. "I don't think anyone was running for me," grinned West. Used to be district attorney of Orange county. But that was more than 30 years ago. Too long to carry a grudge." More symptoms of sleeping sickness.
