The driver Gillette E. Rowland of the train consisted of an engine and six cars appeared to make effort to stop although it was in yards from the crossing when the car stalled on the tracks. Investigating police officers said that the train should have been able to stop in that distance. But Conductor F. R. Beltz, of Monterey Park protested that the train was not unusual that a train that size traveling at 25 miles per hour should require a half-mile in which to stop. Rowland accompanied by Nell Rowland said that as he reached the crossing the wig wag sign began swinging and in his attempt to stop the car stalled on the tracks. The driver and passenger got out of the car and tried to push it off the tracks but were unable to do so before the train struck it and dragged it along the tracks. Dr. Franklin Thomas MWD Expert. Dies Silverado Man Loses Life in Live Bait Boat Sinking; Friend Rescued Sinking of the live bait boat Crescent off Huntington Beach Bartlett was rescued by the fishing boat Cab II. and was no Dr. Franklin Thomas, MWD Expert, Dies Death yesterday of Dr. Franklin Thomas, 67, of Caltech, one of the most noted water and sanitation authorities in Southern California, brought widespread regret among Orange county leaders. Dr. Thomas, who was a member of the consulting board of engineers that prepared the county-wide sewerage plan now being carried out, also had been a member of the Metropolitan Water District board of directors since MWD was organized in 1928. He was chairman of the Colorado River Board of California. In these official capacities, he had been a prominent leader in preserving his state's water rights on the Colorado river. "In the death of Dr. Thomas, Orange county lost a powerful friend." said Engineer Loren Blakeley, consultant for Orange county on water pollution and well known authority on water affairs. "It was his dream, as it was my own when I came to Orange county, to see Colorado river water supplied to this entire coastal plain. He fought and defeated powerful Los Angeles interests in the Metropolitan Water district who wanted to keep all of the Colorado river water supply for Los Angeles, and permit no annexations of other territory to MWD." "I am happy that he lived to see his dream realized, but like everyone else who recognized his worth, I deeply regret that so brilliant a career, with so many years of usefulness ahead, should be cut off." Silverado Man Loses Life in Live Bait Boat Sinking; Friend Rescued Sinking of the live bait boat Crescent off Huntington Beach early today cost the life of a deckhand, Sam Reno, 25, Silverado canyon. The 63-foot boat with Skipper Eugene "Barney" Bartlett, 54, of Costa Mesa, went down four miles off Huntington Beach at 12:45 a.m. Bartlett and Reno were the only ones aboard. LA Daily News Sold by Boddy To Syndicate LOS ANGELES (AP)—Sale of the Los Angeles Daily News, afternoon tabloid, to a syndicate headed by Robert L. Smith was announced today by Manchester Boddy, editor and publisher. Smith, who has been associate publisher and general manager, becomes editor and publisher. Boddy remains on the board. Charles E. Arn, now advertising director, becomes executive vice president, and W. R. Powell, now secretary, becomes general manager. Monetary considerations were not announced. Weather Southern California — Partly cloudy tonight and Friday with early morning showers and thunderstorms near the coast and afternoon showers and thunderstorms over and near the mountains. Continued warm. Bartlett was rescued by the fishing boat, Cab II, and was non-the worse for his experience. The body of Reno, wearing a Mae West life jacket, was taken from the water some time later by another fishing boat, the Little West Coast. A coast guard cutter took charge of the body at 6:45 a.m. a half mile off Huntington Beach pier and brought it to the Baltic mortuary at Corona del Mar. Bartlett, who has been skin per for 25 years, had been in command of the Crescent for three years, for its owners, Irvine and Roy Gronsky of Balboa. The cause of the Crescent's floundering has not been made known. Haskell Kelly To Attend Law Officers' Confab Constable Haskell A.

Senate Defense Investigators Issue Blistering Air Power Report WASHINGTON (UP)—Senate defense investigators said today an excess of gadgets and top level indecision have slowed down military aircraft production and prevented the development of adequate air defenses for the United States. The highly critical report was the latest of a series from the senate armed services preparedness subcommittee headed by Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, D-Tex. In order to speed aircraft production to meet a possible Russian atomic attack, the report suggested appointment of a full-time production czar by the president and an overhauling of present basic defense legislation. Some of the same recommendations were made last November by the same defense watchdog group but Chairman Johnson, in a separate statement, indicated they had not been carried out. Johnson said the airpower build-up has been slowed down by a capacity for indecision which at times has reached amazing levels. Although the defense department did name a production czar, Johnson said, "he did not receive the necessary authority and eventually was reduced to the status of a job holder part-time." Aides of Johnson said this was Clay Bedford, industrial leader who was named special assistant to the secretary of defense. The new report asked appointment of a full-time production czar with powers to determine priorities, to freeze designs to the necessary extent, and to order quantity production initiated, so that our minimum air requirements are met as quickly as possible." The report also called for a greater share of federal funds for air power and less for ground and sea arms. The report was sharply critical of constant changes in models and additions of gadgets and gimmicks to aircraft designs. It said there was a need for design freezes and mass production. "A tendency toward 'gimmickerie' has loaded some of our planes with gadgets to a point where their effectiveness has been decreased," the report said. Some comments in the body of the report appeared more withering than the conclusion any recommendations. As an example: "As will be demonstrated, the history of our air buildup is a saga of bad programming, neglected warnings, lack of coordination, abuse, misuse, and disuse of power, bad advices to the executive, and a general refusal on the part of our governmental agencies to pull together or work together in a dedicated way to straighten our air arsenal." Life in Live and Rescued It was rescued by the fisher, Cab II, and was none for his experience. The Kenzo, wearing a Mae West set, was taken from the time later by another boat, the Little West coast guard cutter took the body at 6:45 a.m. while off Huntington Beach brought it to the Baltz at Corona del Mar. Who has been skin25 years, had been in of the Crescent for runs, for its owners, Irving Gronsky of Balboa. The Crescent's ing has not been made Orange Man in Court Here on Theft Charges Eugene Osborne Kelly of Star Route, Orange, who was arrested on two counts of grand theft, waived preliminary hearing in Anaheim city court yesterday following arraignment. He was committed to Orange county jail in lieu of $2000 bail to await hearing in Superior court, Dept. 2, at Santa Ana, Sept. 5. 10 a.m. Kelly is accused of bilking two Anaheim television stores out of large-screen TV sets, Doller's Radio Service, 726 S. Los Angeles st. on Jan. 22, and Langson's Television Co., Inc., 616 N. Los Angeles st., on Feb. 7. In both cases, Kelly is said to have taken television sets away from the stores, promising to return with down payments. Neither store was graced with his presence since, according to the complaints. LUMBER YARDS TO CLOSE All Anaheim lumber yards have agreed to close Saturday and Monday in observance of Labor day. Sept. 1, it was announced today by Walt Taylor, speaking for his own yard and three others. Army Indicates New Korean POW Demonstrations SEOUL, Korea (P)—The Army indicated today there have been fresh Red prisoner of war incidents or demonstrations in U.N. POW camps since Sunday. It said it would have an announcement tomorrow. The Army earlier this week disclosed details on two POW incidents in July and 10 between Aug. 11 and 24. It said four prisoners were killed and 64 injured in these. Asked today if there had been further incidents, a spokesman for the U.N. Prisoner of War Command said: "We will have another announcement tomorrow. You were covered through Aug. 24, and tomorrow's announcement will bring you up to date." Maj. Gen. Haydon L. Boatner, chief of the command, said in a statement at Pusan that "the American people must expect incidents." "Guarding enemy prisoners is a dangerous business," he added. "We have tried to be firm and fair and operate our camps strictly in accordance with the humanitarian principles of the Geneva Convention." Since last June there has been no strong attempts by the prisoners to mutiny or seize control in the compounds. Our personnel enter them habitually."

Requested by Superintendent Paul Demaree and Trustee James Baker to place the issues on the ballot, the supervisors said this week that mechanical difficulties in the way might prevent a vote by Nov. 4. The district proposes that eight Elementary districts in the High school district form a Junior High school district and vote the bonds to finance buildings. Because some of the voting precincts are partly in and partly out of the high school district, it would be necessary for the county clerk to split these precincts for the purpose of the school election. Time would be required to segregate the voters within and without the district, for the purpose of mailing sample ballots, it was explained. Unless the details were properly handled, the validity of the bond election might be questioned, it was stated by County Counsel Joel Ogle. Price Boss May Ask End Of Controls WASHINGTON (UP)—Tighe E. Woods, the nation's new price boss, said today he will ask the president to lift price controls if he finds the public does not want them. He told reporters he will make his determination of the public attitude by touring the country next month. He said he'll ask housewives and others what they think about controls. But Woods emphasized that he personally believes the price curbs should stay in effect. Woods takes over as director of the office of price stabilization next week, succeeding Ellis Arnall. "Many say that the people don't care about controls," Woods said. "I want to find out whether there is any apathy toward the office of price stabilization program or whether the people just don't understand it." "What I want to get is the direct reaction of the people. I am sure they do not like the continued rises in the cost of living." "If I find there is no interest in price controls throughout the country, I certainly would recommend to the president that controls be taken off and the money be put to other use." MONTREAL, Canada (AP)—The Montreal Gazette claimed today a communist spy ring of apparent refugees from Iron Curtain countries is operating in Montreal, gathering secret information on defense industries. The newspaper's front-page story said government officials were giving serious consideration to the reported ring but first official comment denied knowledge of the report. "It's the first I've heard of it," said Canadian Minister of Justice Stuart Garson. "I don't know whether it's true or not." The minister added, however, that if he did know, he would not disclose it. The Gazette quoted two informants as saying Red agents in Montreal had asked them to transmit secret data on defense industries in the area. The newspaper said the names of the informants must be kept secret to protect relatives still behind the Iron Curtain. Their story, as reported by the newspaper, said: The spy ring was formed three years ago, its main elements being Communist agents who posed as bona fide refugees coming through Germany. Because some of the voting precincts are partly in and partly out of the high school district, it would be necessary for the county clerk to split these precincts for the purpose of the school election. Time would be required to segregate the voters within and without the district, for the purpose of mailing sample ballots, it was explained. Unless the details were properly handled, the validity of the bond election might be questioned, it was stated by County Counsel Joel Ogle. Whether there is sufficient time in which to handle the job may be determined by next Tuesday, it was said. Anaheim Dampened By Short Shower Officer Billy Wilson of Anaheim Police department was one of many Anaheliers surprised by a quickie rain at about 9:15 a.m. today that wet down the streets, no more. "One thing I didn't think I'd need today was a slicker," he muttered as he ruefully contemplated his rain-spattered khaki uniform and jodhpurs. And then the sun came out hot as ever. Gazette Resets Office Hours for Better Service Anaheim residents who have business with the Gazette now can hear the "voice with smile" that of Irene Julian, beginning at 7:30 a.m. each day. If they call before that, beginning at 7 a.m., they will have to be satisfied with the graffter voices of either City Editor Leonard Kreidt or Sports Editor Tom Marquis. In addition to opening the office earlier, telephone and in-person service will be available until 7 p.m., with Jo Addintgon as receptionist. The new hours at the Gazette office have been inaugurated in keeping with the newspaper's policy of offering the most convenient office facilities for the public, and also to promote the most complete editorial coverage of the Anaheim scene possible. Russia Names New Delegate To United Nations UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP)—Soviet Russia has named Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin, who staged the Red coup in Czechoslovakia, as her chief delegate to the United Nations. Jacob A. Malik, the present delegate, is going home for "rest and reassignment." UN officials announced last night that the Soviet government told them of the forthcoming change in a note addressed to the international organization's secretary. Zorin is expected to arrive by Sept. 15, just a month before the general assembly opens its annual fall session. Malik, who has been suffering from a heart ailment for some time IMPORTANT JOB—“Pete” Kavanagh, shown above with his mobile dust-pan, is a key factor in the cleanliness that has made Anaheim the beautiful city it is. GAZETTE PHOTO Aakeim Street-Sweeper Makes His Job Very Important to the City Only yesterday a prominent Anaheim citizen remarked about how wonderful it was to return to Anaheim after a trip through the midwest. Anaheim is so beautiful and CLEAN he said. Without men like Peter Kavanagh, Anaheim wouldn't be so clean or nearly so nice to come back to. Gazette workers arriving at the office at 7 a.m., see "Pete" he calls himself, working down the south side of E. Center, usually somewhere around city hall, every morning. He patiently, unhurriedly pushes his cart along the curbing, stopping when necessary to sweep litter into a pile and into his mobilized dustpan. "Hi, Neighbor" Anyone passing Pete, who takes the trouble to say "Good morning," will get a cheery reply that helps set the day off right. Pete one of those happy characters who can see the good side of an early Monday morning, even, and is apparently happy to pass on its good humor to all others. Pete's been sweeping Anaheim streets for the past five years and for the five years before that he worked for the city in other capacities. He became an Anaheim resident 31 years ago, coming from Homestead, Pa., where he worked as a coal miner. Pete has a sizeable family, two sons and three daughters, all of them married and raising their own families. Two of them live in Fullerton, one in Santa Ana, another in Pittsburgh, Calif., and the other in Whittier. It All Depends Many folks would consider a job as street-sweeper beneath their dignity, but they don't realize that the attractions of any particular position depend on the character of the particular individual occupying it, and the philosophy of life he has developed. While Pete doesn't say so in so many yords, his attitude and the way he goes about his job say it in quite eloquent language: “This job is almost totally lacking in glamor, but it's important enough to be done and the cleanliness of these streets probably gets a lot more favorable comment than the efficient way in which the mayor conducts a council meeting. That automatically shut down the upper chamber—the House of Councilors—unless an emergency arises. It is only advisory. The Emperor's rescript was countersigned by Yoshida, who must have worked fast and secretly to catch his opposition off guard. It takes a day or more to prepare an imperial rescript.”
