Luzon Island Devastation Prominent M.D. Taken by Death Early Today Dr. John W. Truxaw, 69, prominent Anaheim physician, died early this morning at St. Joseph hospital. Born Aug. 4, 1883 in Wymore, Nebr., Dr. Truxaw spent his childhood in Riverside, Iowa, and had just returned from an extended vacation there. A graduate of the University of California, he came to Anaheim in 1910 to take charge of the practice of Dr. Herbert A. Johnson who was on vacation. Two years later he returned to resume practice in his own office where he has been continuously until his retirement approximately a year ago. During his 40 years of active practice, Dr. Truxaw delivered between 3000 and 5000 Anaheim babies, also served as city health officer here for many years. He was a prominent and beloved member of St. Boniface church, Holy Name society, Knights of Columbus, the Elks club and a charter member of the Rotary club where he had a record of perfect attendance until his retirement a year ago. Surviving Dr. Truxaw are his wife, Louise; three sons, John E. and Robert J., both of Anaheim, and Joseph C., Newport Beach; (Continued on Page 6) ANAHEIM The Anaheim Gazette Was Established In 1870 As A Weekly VOLUME LXXXI ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY Sewage Plans Recommendations Nelson Named to Replace Ribal Employment of Lee M.

In one of the heaviest days of balloting yet, the leading Boy Scouts of America were dropped from the first place spot. The Scouts took over the number two spot, picking up 475,-300 votes and First Baptist church was dropped to the number three position. Balloting totaled over 1,849,000 for the day and the complete tabulation to date shows that more than 30,000,000 ballots have been cast in the big campaign. Today's tabulation lists only those organizations who showed a gain in yesterday's balloting. This move was made in order to release valuable news space and to make it easier for readers to see which organizations are making gains in the campaign. This does not mean that organizations whose names do not appear in today's paper have been eliminated. They have not. All groups are still eligible to participate in the campaign and as soon as a group shows a vote gain, its name will again appear in this column.

Riand a group of the directors. Vote Fails to Remove Counsel Attorney C. Arthur Nisson, Jr., legal counsel for the Orange county Sanitation districts, whose removal was sought by a faction of the district's directors unless he resigned as city attorney of Tustin, found the eight districts deadlocked in two vote tests at last night's meeting, as one vote failed to approve his employment and the other failed to accept his proffered resignation. Nisson, neither hired nor fired, remains as counsel for the districts by virtue of the deadlock. He told the directors flatly that if forced to make a choice between the two jobs, he will remain as city attorney of Tustin. The executive committee of the districts had reported that it was understood when Nisson was first employed that he would resign as Tustin city attorney, but Nisson They have money enough to hire their sewage plan, or must pay it.

Nisson, neither hired nor fired, remains as counsel for the districts by virtue of the deadlock. He told the directors flatly that if forced to make a choice between the two jobs, he will remain as city attorney of Tustin. The executive committee of the districts had reported that it was understood when Nisson was first employed that he would resign as Tustin city attorney, but Nisson said he had no such understanding. He declared that he could see no conflict of interests between the two positions, and if such conflict should develop he would resign immediately without being directed to do so. Director Vernon Langenbeck, of Huntington Beach, said he was "amazed" that Nisson did not resign one job or the other. A vote on confirmation of his employment at a part time salary of $355 per month, then resulted in three district boards supporting him, four voting against him, and one, Laguna Beach, having a tie vote of its two directors present. Willis Warner of Huntington Beach, who as chairman of the county supervisors, is a member of each sanitation district board, voted against Nisson in each district. Only one Laguna Beach director was present. He voted to Nisson, leaving a tie in that district.

It left only 15 concrete shells of buildings standing. All else was complete ruin. Miles and miles of the surrounding countryside was a scene of utter devastation. In battered Tabaco Town to the north, 118 persons were reported dead and 200 were missing. The toll in Legaspi City was not known. Dazed survivors groped through the ruins, looking for traces of loved ones. Unofficial sources said at least 40 had died in this city of ruin. Electricity is off. There is no water.

Alibi Witnesses on Stand in Trial Of Bridgford Robbery Suspects Defense of the four defendants trial in the $17,000 Bridgford at robbery case was hearing inclusion today in Superior Court at Santa Ana, three of the accused men having alreadyified, while a fourth, Morris Hudstein, was expected on the witness stand this afternoon. Jack Goldberg, partner of Goldman in the Warner Provision company of Pasadena, testified most yesterday regarding the 70 sides beef stolen from the Bridgford plant in Anaheim last Dec. 9, and involved into the Warner plant at them that day. After preliminary testimony relating with meat marketing practices, in which he said that was common practice for meat suckers or jobbers to unload plus stocks at reduced prices inside their retail marketing area, Goldberg said that he and his partner were told that the meat was being trucked from a San Francisco plant. They did not know it was stolen and they discovered it lacked government inspection stamps. Then they were forced at the point of turn to accept it and afterwards were blackmailed into paying nearly $10,000 to various gangsters, he said. Irving Schulman, Los Angeles cafe man, testified ahead of Goldberg, and said that he had innocently acted as contact man, arranging the sale to Goldberg and Goldstein, when he was approached by Rov Wiltsie, reputed leader in the robbery who has not been captured. Richard J. McGovern, first of the four defendants to testify later called two alibi witnesses, William H. LaMance, San Francisco taxi driver, and Edward F. Davis, Santa Fe switchman at Los Angeles, to confirm his statement that on the night of the Anaheim robbery he was in the "Squeeze Inn" cafe operated by Schulman in Los Angeles. James N. Stubbs, bookkeeper for the Warner Provision company, was on the witness stand this morning, to testify that he had cashed the firm's check for $4500 at a Pasadena bank on the day before the robbery. This was the money used to pay for the meat delivered at the plant the next morning. STANBUL, Turkey (UP)—A brief but sharp earthquake in the area of Adana in Southern Turkey killed at least 18 persons yesterday and injured 40.
