More than One Million Total Nears 5 Million as Boy Scouts Lead Standings with $\frac{3}{4}$ Million Votes With more than a million new votes showing on today's "Buy in Anaheim" campaign standings, Northern Orange County Council of Boy Scouts of America catapulted far into the lead with the impetus of a staggering 460,500 votes cast in its favor. Duke Ogata of Cypress cast 415,000 of the BSA votes last Saturday when he purchased a new car from Steffy Buick Agency, giving the Boy Scouts a total of 758,500 votes. The Boy Scouts weren't the only large gainers today, however. Bethel Baptist church came up with a very respectable 176,600 vote to take second place with 575,700 votes. St. Michael's Episcopal church is third with 476,400, and yesterday's leader, Zion Lutheran church, is fourth with 461,600. The Cancer Society of Orange County made a spectacular advance from 1200 to 54,000 in the standings, while three new organizations were entered in the competition. They are: Anaheim Sea Scouts, 2500; Stanton Community church, 400; and Catholic Welfare group, 300 votes.

Million 'Buy in Anaheim' Scouts on Votes ANAHEIM Daily THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1870 VOLUME LXXXI ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA TUESDAY, SEPT Bridgford Meat Robbery Suspect Gives Up; Trial Set for 4 Others Another step in a clean sweep solution of the Bridgford Meat Packing Co., burglary case seemed imminent today with apprehension of Charles Richard Bocock, for whom a warrant had been issued as driver of the truck that removed some $17,000 worth of beef from the Anaheim plant. Bocock walked into Anaheim police station yesterday at 3:45 and told police he understood a warrant had been issued for his arrest, and that he was giving himself up. He was interrogated until about midnight by Lt. T. V. Taylor, who has been investigating the case, and then booked on charges of grand theft, kidnapping and vehicle theft. Four other men charged with participation in the $17,000 meat robbery at the Bridgford Packing Co. plant in Anaheim will go on trial together Oct. 6. Their trials have been consolidated by order of Superior Judge Robert Gardner, despite attempts of their Los Angeles lawyers to procure separate trials for Jack Goldberg and Morris Goldstein, Irving Schulman and Richard J. McGovern. The district attorney's office charges that McGovern took part in the robbery of a plant watchman, who also was kidnapped and taken from one part of the plant to another, while the gang loaded the meat into a plant truck and drove away.

OAZETTE PHOTO LE Mansions Company Still Making Right to Form Subdivision Seeking the right to form subdivision on Highway 39, of Stanton, after two reevey the county planning union, Little Mansions, Inc., Beach, will carry its appeal to the board of supervisors arising set for 3 p.m. Sept. From the planning committee ruling that the subdivision not be approved unless connections are installed was filed with the supervisors through the Santa Ana law firm of Head, Jacobs and Corfman. The planning commission ruling was made Aug. 22, following an earlier rejection of an application that was approximately identical. The sewer facilities were required despite the statement of the county health dept. that it would approve septic tanks and seepage pits for sewage disposal in the tract. The sub-dividers complained that installation of sewers would impose a prohibitive cost on the project. Little Mansions, Inc., proposes to subdivide a 54-acre tract into 215 lots for single-family dwellings, with a neighborhood shopping district covering 2.6 acres. That feature of the project also is appalled by Robert Gardner, despite attempts of their Los Angeles lawyers to procure separate trials for Jack Goldberg and Morris Goldstein, Irving Schulman and Richard J. McGovern. The district attorney's office charges that McGovern took part in the robbery of a plant watchman, who also was kidnapped and taken from one part of the plant to another, while the gang loaded the meat into a plant truck and drove away. Schulman, it is alleged, arranged for the sale of the stolen meat to Goldberg and Goldstein, who operate a provision business in Pasadena.

Today being a legal holiday, the trial was at recess, after opening Monday. Judge Raymond Thompson is presiding. Death of Joseph B. Bickerstaff, passenger in a car driven by Arle Van Den Berg of Bellflower, which collided with a sheriff's patrol car driven by Deputy Clarence A. Double, furnishes grounds for the damage suit. Bickerstaff's sons, Roy and Joseph Jr., filed the $35,000 suit against Van Den Berg, who had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor manslaughter following the crash. Attorney Samuel Dreizen, representing the plaintiffs, contends that Van Den Berg was intoxicated at the time of the accident and had driven through a stop sign. He and Bickerstaff had been attending a wedding reception in Silverado Canyon and were on their way home. The defense represented by attorney Fred Forgy, contends that the two men were engaged in a joint enterprise and Bickerstaff was equally responsible for the accident.

County Moves to Enforce 200-Foot Set-Back Provision in Rural Areas V. F. Snyder has been advised by the county supervisors that he must either move a building on his property at Cypress and Placentia aves, northeast of Anaheim, or reconstruct it to conform with the county building code: The building which Snyder moved onto the property, is situated less than 200 feet from the highway, therefore is required to comply with building regulations. Snyder told the supervisors that he had made an error in measuring the setback when he located the building which, according to Harold Goldy, assistant building inspector, is only 172 feet from the center of Placentia ave. at one point. Under county ordinances, buildings must be 200 feet from any highway if they are exempt from the building code requirements. Snyder had discovered that he was too close to the highway when a plumber called his attention to the error. He asked the supervisors for permission to maintain the building at its present location without replacing studding, which does not conform to the building code. He was told that the board could not authorize anyone to violate the law. Hit-Run Car Leads Police on 90 MPH SA-Anaheim Chase A 90 to 95 miles-per-hour chase on Highway 101 from Santa Ana to Anaheim this noon ended in Anaheim police station for four men. Behind them they left a considerable string of hit-run accidents. All were apparently drunk when arrested at Manchester ave. and Center st. The driver was Pfc Herbert V. Hollensteiner, 20, an El Toro Marine. His three companions identifications were not available. Three cars and an ambulance pursued the hurtling car out of Santa Ana, where police and California Highway Patrol officers had been trying to run down the car for a number of hit-run violations. One CHP officer said Hollensteiner was bumping cars discriminately all the way to Anaheim, just to get them off the road. The chase ended when the pursuing cars managed to box-in the runaway car and force it to the curb. Drilling Permit May be Revoked Notice that its oil drilling permit will be revoked, unless cause to the contrary is shown, has been served by the county supervisors on the Doc Rich Oil Co., of Los Angeles, which has drilled a well on Richfield rd. near the Santa Fe tracks by Atwood. Hearing on the relocation order is set for Oct. 7. Meanwhile, Supervisor Ralph-J. McFadden of Placentia, wonders what can be done about it, since the well is already drilled. He did not get much information on the point when he asked County Counsel Joel Ogle the question. "We'll take that up when we come to it." Ogle replied. The drilling permit was attacked on the ground that the company had failed to comply with drilling requirements by posting a bond as a guarantee of conformance.

Ribal, chief engineer and general manager of the Sanitation districts. The San Francisco contracting firm of Healey, Tibbitts, has notified Ribal that the company will be ready to start the big project by the first of next month. It is hoped that a major portion of the marine section of the big 78-inch concrete line will be layed before winter storms halt the work.

The section nearer the shore will be supported by steel sheet piling in addition to a rock base, and the contractors must wait for delivery of the steel. Ribal said.
