First Baptist Drive for Clothing For Korean Orphans Closes Sunday Rupp Defense Makes Final Plea to Jury Final plea to the jury for the life of William F. Rupp Jr., admitted sex slayer of Ruby Ann Payne, 15 year-old Yorba Linda baby sitter was completed today by Public Defender N. D. Meyer in Superior Judge Kenneth E. Morrison’s court at Santa Ana. The case was expected to reach the jury by mid-affternoon. Meyer argued to the jury that brain tests of the 18 year old defendant, from the time four years ago that he attempted a sex attack upon a Cypress housewife, to the time that he clubbed and shot the pretty baby sitter to death last Aug. 8, clearly indicated his incapability of formulating an intent to commit an act or to premeditate. The killing of the Payne girl was not first-degree murder, Meyer contended. Deputy District Attorney James P. Devine, closing the argument for the state, had not completed his summation of the case when court recessed at noon. Following Devine’s argument, demanding the death penalty for Rupp, Judge Morrison was to give the jury its instructions and send it to the jury room to commence deliberations. Bloodmobile to Care Here November 21 The Red Cross Bloodmobile will visit Anaheim Nov. 21 at the Ebell clubhouse, Helen and Cypress sts., between 2 and 6:30 p.m. Mrs. P. H.

NEW YORK (UP)—The Crusade for Freedom's 1952 campaign opens tonight with a four-network, coast-to-coast radio program featuring President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower and his defeated Democratic opponent, Adlai E. Stevenson. Weaver Arrested Mike M. Castro, 31, E. Pearl st., El Modena, was arrested by Santa Ana police at 1:50 a.m., today on a charge of drunk driving. Officers said he was a three-lane driver, weaving an erratic course along E. Fourth st., in the 1200 block. His passenger, Tony B. Flores, 40, of Court st., El Modena, was arrested on a drunk charge. FDR’s Plea against Red Poland Failed, Paper Reveals By RUSSELL BRINES WASHINGTON (UP)—House investigators brought out secret documents today showing President Roosevelt failed in a special plea to Stalin in 1943 to prevent the creation of the present pro-Communist government in Poland. Roosevelt and the British attempted to dissuade Stalin from completely breaking diplomatic relations with the Polish government in exile in London. Russia broke off relations during a furre over discovery of the bodies of 15,000 Polish officers in the Katyn forest of western Russia. A special house committee investigating the deaths has blamed Russia, despite Moscow's contention the massacre was committed by the Nazis. The committee produced the state department documents relating to the Stalin-Roosevelt exchange during an open hearing today to support a contention that the diplomatic break was part of a detailed Russian plan to Sovietize Poland. The break was announced April 26, 1943. Two days later Stalin sent a personal and confidential note to President Roosevelt, the documents revealed, saying he could no longer countenance the "abnormal" conduct of the Polish government. Roosevelt replied April 26 asking Stalin to term his action a "suspension of conversations with the Polish government, in exile rather than a complete diplomatic break. The president offered to give sanctuary to any Poles Russia cared to deport, and said he was confident British Prime Minister Churchill could persuade Polish government in exile to act with "more common sense in the future." German officials had just announced discovery of the Katyn graves, and Polish authorities were blaming the Russians for the murders. Stalin said the Poles thereby were supporting the "campaign of calumny" and the "vile fascist slander of the Soviet Union" by the Hitler regime. Adm. William H. Standley retired, then U. S. ambassador to Moscow, testified today "there isn't any question that it, the break, was planned a long time. Although he also attempted to prevent the break as ambassador, Standley testified, he had no prior knowledge of the Roosevelt - Stalin correspondence. While ambassador, he told the committee, he was by-passed a number of times by the president. Once, he counted, was during the visit of Wendell Willkie, the defeated Republican presidential nominee in 1940 who came to Moscow as President Roosevelt's special representative in September 1942. Standley said a Willkie alide, whom he identified as Joe Barnes, arranged an interview with Stalin for Willkie although the embassy had tried unsuccessfully to make the same appointment. Presumably Standley referred to Joseph Barnes, former Moscow correspondent and one-time foreign editor of the New York Herald-Tribune. After the interview, Standley recounted. Willkie told him he had discussed with Stalin several matters "so secret that he couldn't reveal them to the United States ambassador."

Sen. Seeks Action on Controls Fate WASHINGTON (E)—Sen. Capehart (R-Ind) said today he will seek a swift decision by Congress next year on the fate of wage and price controls. Caphehart is listed to head the Senate Banking committee which handles controls legislation in that chamber. From his home in Indianapolis, he told a reporter in a telephone interview he will seize agreement with the House Banking commit- tee "to dispose of this important problem just as early in the next session of Congress as possible."

The Ford company would not be reached for a confirmation of the report. Reports that Ford is to move from its Wilmington automotive assembly plant lend force to local speculation that the company plans to relocate the factory on the 90-acre site. The area has been earmarked for industrial use, U.S. Industrial Motors now being in the process of establishing a large factory on and directly across Magnolia from the reported Ford site. The U.S. Motors plant is expected to come within the city limits of Anaheim in the near future with the addition of the proposed Houston ave. annexation, on which the city has just completed initial action. The coming of the Ford Motor Co. plant would seem to indicate a further westward expansion of the Anaheim city limits to include some of the choicest industrial acreage in the county.

The official count, subject to possible change by the recount in no precincts, gave Cameron 303 and Crookshank 15,288. The official returns had given Cookshank 15,294 and Cameron 275.

Eisenhower to Confer with Dewey On Korea and Other Policy Matters AUGUST, Ga. (P) — President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York will meet here Friday to discuss the general's forthcoming trip to Korea and other policy matters. Eisenhower's press secretary, James C. Hagerty, said the New York governor will stop at the general's vacation headquarters. There has been speculation Dewey might be offered a Cabinet post in the new Republican administration. Dewey himself said last week, however, that he intended to finish out his term as governor. He has two more years in that office. Asked specifically whether Eisenhower was going to ask Dewey to join his Cabinet, Hagerty said he had no idea. In reply to another question, Hagerty said he did not know whether Dewey will accompany Eisenhower to Korea. The general promised during the campaign that if elected he would visit Korea in an effort to find a way to end the war there. The press secretary repeated that no date has been set yet for the President-elect's departure for the Far East. Asked whether Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio will confer with Eisenhower before the general sets out for Korea, Hagerty replied: "Of course." CIO Cancels LA Meeting, Sets New Date PITTSBURGH (P) — The vice Eisenhower will confer the early part of next week at the White House with President Truman, who has invited the general to a discussion of international and domestic problems facing the new administration.

Crookshank in Santa Ana. There will be no jury. This will be the first prosecution under the Santa Ana city gambling ordinance, which was enacted in order to plug the loopholes left for draw poker in the state gambling act, which omits that game from the list of prohibited games. Defense Attorney Z. B. West first attacked the validity of the city ordinance, but it was upheld in a ruling by Judge Crookshank a few days ago. The case then was ordered set for trial. Hildreth V. Houck, owner of the property, was included in the charge subsequent to the arrest of the 16 defendants engaged in the game, including George Liolios, 37, who was operating the game. Four women were among the prisoners taken in the raid, including Martha Van Casteren, 40, housewife, of 9202 E. Ball rd., Anaheim. George Haslet Rogers, 44, a salesman, of 127 N. Pine st., Orange, also is a defendant.

The strategy-making vice presidents issued a statement expressing "deep grief over the loss of the great president of the CIO, Mr. Philip Murray," and added: "The meeting was limited to arrangements for the funeral of Mr. Murray and changes in the CIO's schedule arising from his untimely decease." Murray died Sunday in San Francisco while arranging for the annual convention.
