First Baptist Takes ANAHEIM Daily The Anaheim Gazette Was Established in 1870 As A Weekly And Is Anaheim's First Newspaper VOLUME LXXXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER Rupp Declared Guilty of Morals Charges Filed Against Model, Photog Held by Orange county authorities on a morals charge following her sensational accusation in Los Angeles that she was blackmailed into furnishing a "harem of virgins" for Richard Mitman, 36, Inge Borg, blond, 26-year-old model, whose real name is Ingeborg Schnitzler, is scheduled for arraignment in Laguna Beach justice court Nov. 20. Meanwhile she is at liberty under $1500 bail. Mitman also is wanted by local authorities but faces prosecution in Los Angeles first, unless he attempts to post ball there. If so, he will be turned over to Orange county authorities. Extensive photographing of the girl in immoral poses while the pair occupied an apartment at Seafare Lodge, 30781 South Coast Schnitzler, is scheduled for arraignment in Laguna Beach justice court Nov. 20. Meanwhile she is at liberty under $1500 bail. Mitman also is wanted by local authorities but faces prosecution in Los Angeles first, unless he attempts to post ball there. If so, he will be turned over to Orange county authorities. Extensive photographing of the girl in immoral poses while the pair occupied an apartment at Seafare Lodge, 30781 South Coast highway, Laguna Beach, last Sept. 20, formed the basis of charges against Mitman in Los Angeles and against both in Orange county. The girl charged in Los Angeles that Mitman forced her to pose, then threatened to circulate the pictures of her unless she furnished him a virtuous girl for each of the 72 negatives he had in his possession. He would return them to her, one by one, as she supplied him with girls, she told Los Angeles police. Orange county authorities view her story with open skepticism. Deputy District Attorney James P. Devine, who issued complaints against both the girl and Mitman, declares that she posed voluntarily, not only for immoral photographs of her singly, but also in compromising poses with Mitman. She then tried to blackmail Mitman. Devine declared. The German-born girl is the divorced wife of an American soldier. Dewey Repeats: No Post for Me In Ike's Cabinet AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York arrived here today for a policy conference with President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower and reiterated "there is no possibility" of his joining the general's cabinet. The governor flew in by commercial plane to discuss Eisenhower's forthcoming trip to Korea and other policy problems facing the new Republican administration. En route to Miami for a vacation, Dewey stopped off here at Eisenhower's request. Asked about Eisenhower's coming trip to Korea, Dewey said he had some suggestions to make but added he could not discuss them. CONVICTED OF MURDER — Eighteen-year-old B. Rupp, Jr., is embraced by his father seconds after youth was found guilty of first degree murder, at San Ana., Nov. 13. Young Rupp, who was impassive before and after the verdict, was convicted of slaying Ruby A. Payne, baby sitter at a ranch where he worked. He fainted a sanity hearing Nov. 17. General Rainstorm Hits California With Wind, Snow and Mudslides LOS ANGELES (AP)—The season's first heavy storm swept into Southern California today amid gusts of wind, snow in the mountains and a downpur which closed one highway. A half inch of rain had fallen here shortly before noon. That more was on the way was indicated by a Santa Barbara total of 1.46 inches. Fresno had more than a half inch. State route 178, which winds through the mountain's east of Bakersfield, was closed by mud slides between the mouth of Baker pass and Bodfish. This one of the highways closed rock slides after the Tehal earthquake. Snow was falling on An Crest east of here, and in the Bernardino mountains, and rain was reported on the route, between here and Bailey field. One death was blamed on streets and a motorist was cued after his car was hit flash flood. George Colburn, 32, 11108 an st., Sun Valley, was known from his bicycle a skidding at San Ferrando road and land blvd. He was dead of injuries when he reached a halt. J. P. Kuschner, 10735 Ave., west Los Angeles, was citing a gully near Queensbury and Manning ave., when swimmers mired his car. Fire brought him to safety from top of his machine with an tension ladder. The storm here still was intense than in northern California. It is expected to continue night after night.

Has 'Quick Decline' Hit Our Leaders? REV. FRANK E BUTTERWORTH White Temple Methodist Church In the citrus industry much concern has been registered about this strange disease called "quick decline" which causes an apparently healthy orange tree to suddenly drop its leaves and wither away, almost without explanation. Has the same tragic and inexplicable fate hit our American leadership? The early days of our republic were marked by a plethora of leaders: public spirited men laid the foundations of constitutional government of education, and of a great literature. Succeeding years produced generations of pioneers who led the way to the creation of a new empire in the West, and who extended our democracy to the harassed of all lands. Why doesn't our country seem to produce many great leaders any more? Why the "quick decline" in the character of our men and women in public life? A careful study of our nation's history will prove that America's "output" of great leaders has varied in direct proportion to the extent placed upon moral and religious values. The God-seeking days of the colonial period produced constitutional law and democracy. The gold-seeking days of the frontier produced lawlessness and anarchy. The religious survival of the turn of the century produced another crop of great men: the architects of world peace and freedom. The materialism of our generation has produced communism and corrosive governmental paternalism. The broken and beaten peoples of the earth are looking for strong moral leadership. Ours is a democracy that can rise no higher than the thoughts of our everyday workingmen. In these post-election days when we are apt to pin too much hope upon a few men let us remember that America's greatness and her return to moral stature must begin within us, her citizens. Can this occur without a personal knowledge of God and of His purpose for our lives?

Rupp, Jr., 19-year-old Yorba Linda sex slayer of Ruby Ann Payne, will follow Henry Ford McCracken to the gas chamber in San Quentin, unless the jury which convicted him of first-degree murder last night, now finds him insane. His sanity trial begins next Monday before the jury and Judge Kenneth E. Morrison in the same courtroom where the murder trial was held. The Rupp verdict was delivered by the jury to Judge Morrison at 8:42 o'clock last night, having started its deliberations nearly 17 hours earlier, and, while at all times agreed on Rupp’s guilt, came slowly to agreement on the death penalty. First report to the court yesterday forenoon disclosed that half of the jurors favored recommendation of life imprisonment. At noon, there were three still favoring life imprisonment. At 4:30 p.m. the jury reported again, and then stood 11 to 1 for the death penalty. Judge Morrison ordered them to go James Townsend Awarded Silver Star Medal A Silver Star for gallantry in action was awarded to First Lieutenant James H. Townsend, 708 N.

The storm here still was less severe than in northern California is expected to continue to start its deliberations nearly 17 hours earlier, and, while at all times agreed on Rupp's guilt, came slowly to agreement on the death penalty. First report to the court yesterday forenoon disclosed that half of the jurors favored recommendation of life imprisonment. At noon, there were three still favoring life imprisonment. At 4:30 p.m. the jury reported again, and then stood 11 to 1 for the death penalty. Judge Morrison ordered them to continue their deliberations. The lone juror held out another four hours before agreeing to the death penalty. Rupp, an indifferent observer of the murder trial throughout its three weeks' duration, retained his stolid manner when the verdict was announced. His father, William F. Rupp, Sr., 52, of Montebello, wept and embraced his son, exclaiming his unbelief that the jurors could not see that his son is insane. The youth, who spent three months in a mental hospital at Camarillo after attempting to attack a Cypress housewife four years ago, when he was 14, clubbed and shot 15-year-old Ruby Ann Payne to death last Aug. 8 at the home of his employer, W. Perry Dyer, where the girl was baby-sitting, now must stake his life on a plea of insanity. Three psychiatrists appointed by the court at various times to examine him have reported that he is legally sane, and contradict the defense claim that Rupp suffered brain injury which prevents him from formulating intent to commit an act, or to premeditate. One psychiatrist, Dr. Samuel Marcus of Los Angeles, testifying for the defense at the murder trial; said he had examined Rupp two days before the Aug. 8 slaying and had reported him dangerous to society. Under cross-examination, Dr. Marcus admitted that Rupp had, to a limited degree, the capacity to think and plan. Wingless Plane Test Flight Fails SANTA ANA UP—A wingless plane that made a forced landing in a plowed field on its maiden flight yesterday, is going to be tried again after its builder, William E. Horton, does some re-designing. "Back to the drawing board." Horton quipped to newsmen: "I'm convinced the design is sound but it needs a lot more improvements." Wingless Plane Test Flight Fails SANTA ANA (UP)—A wingless plane that made a forced landing in a plowed field on its maiden flight yesterday, is going to be tried again after its builder, William E. Horton, does some re-designing. "Back to the drawing board," Horton quipped to newsmen: "I'm convinced the design is sound but it needs a lot more improvements—a lot more development." The strange looking craft took off from Orange county airport yesterday, flew low over the ground for about a mile, dipped dangerously near high tension lines, but landed without damage in an open field. Horton, who has worked almost alone for the last 18 months on the experimental plane, had planned to be in the air for about an hour on the flight. Instead, he was aloft only two minutes. The plane has stubby eight-foot control flaps on either side, is 26 feet wide and 40 feet long. The fuselage is virtually a wing in itself.

Santa Ana Judge Gives Suspended Fines to 14 Convicted Gamblers Ten men and four women arrested in a Santa Ana police raid upon a draw poker game last Sept. 23, were given suspended fines of $25 each today when all pleaded guilty before City Judge Ronald M. Crookshank in Santa Ana. Two other men, George Liolios, 37 of Santa Ana, who was operating the game in the Balboa club game room, 315 N. Sycamore st.; and Hildreth V. Houck, owner of the premises, were granted probation for one year, on condition that they refrain from engaging in any such illegal game within the year. Since draw poker is legal in the state outside of Santa Ana, where it is banned by city ordinance, the court's restriction in effect applied only to that city. The same restriction was applied to the 14 players when Judge Crookshank suspended them. Mrs. Martha Van Castle of 9202 E. Ball rd., Anahoe George Haslet Rogers, 40 man, of 127 N. Pine st., were among the defendant today when their plea was entered through Z. B. West of Santa Ana. Others fined were: Alton Laurie, 46, and Aron G., 33 of Newport Beach; Laurie, 39, Balboa; Jos Asher, 31, Rivera; Remie G., 70, Los Angeles: Mrs. A.

With Heavy Vote Five Million Votes Cast to Boost Total For Campaign Past 50 Million Mark True to predictions, Anaheimers partisan to local organizations in the Gazette's "Buy in Anaheim" campaign are making a real battle of the final days of the drive in an effort to reach the top of the standings and the right to receive the grand prize of $700. First Baptist church, in third place yesterday, zoomed up to the head of the list today with a smashing 2,282,400 votes for a total of 8,839,200. Boy Scouts of America, who threw in a respectable 1,054,600 votes today, were unable to recapture the lead lost yesterday to Bethel Baptist church. BSA now has 8,634,300 votes and Bethel Baptist holds down third place with 7,778,200 votes.

Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., of Massachusetts — designated by Eisenhower to represent him at the state defense and possibly other departments—arrived last night and was ready to confer with top officials in those agencies today. His mission was regarded as preparatory to Eisenhower's conference Tuesday with President Truman. The purpose is to pave the way for a smooth transfer of the government from Democratic to Republican hands Jan. 2. His mission was regarded as preparatory to Eisenhower's conference Tuesday with President Truman. The purpose is to pave the way for a smooth transfer of the government from Democratic to Republican hands Jan. 20. Indications were that Truman directed his officials to cooperate fully in providing information to Lodge, just as facts on the next government budget already are being laid before Eisenhower's special representative to the budget bureau, Joseph M. Dodge, who arrived Wednesday. Lodge told reporters at Washington airport last night he might have a confidential report ready for the Eisenhower-Truman conference. He said he had no hard-and-fast plans about how to gather his information, would begin today arranging appointments and anticipated no difficulty in securing access to confidential data. Lodge, one of the early backers of Eisenhower for president, was defeated for re-election by Democrat John Kennedy, now a representative. When asked, Lodge said he did not know anything about his being mentioned as possibly Eisenhower's secretary of state or secretary of defense. He indicated he did not expect to accompany Eisenhower on the president-elect's planned trip to Korea. for gallantry in action while Division, was awarded to Dawnsend, 808 North Pine St., Swift, commanding generalthur, at ceremonies held at Brookshank suspended their fines.

VE, Fatal Disease of Hogs, May Eliminate County Swine Ranches Hog ranching in Orange county may be wiped out and some 18,000 garbage fed swine eliminated, unless solution can be found for the dread disease, vesicular exanthema, which has destroyed thousands of hogs in California during the last 20 years, and recently has spread into 25 other states, it was disclosed last night by county health authorities. Dr. Edward Lee Russell, county health officer; Dr. John Bower, county veterinarian, and Chairman Willis Warner of the county board of supevisors, laid the problem before the executive board of the Orange County League of Cities at a dinner meeting in Santa Ana. Only possible solution appears to be the pasteurization of garbage, and that may be too expensive to make hog raising profitable, the officials said. If the hog ranches go a collateral problem of garbage disposal also looms, it was said. The disease known in medical circles as VE, also is dangerous to humans, said the officials, since the sometimes fatal disease, trichinosis, can be contracted from the meat of a hog infected with VE. The hog disease is definitely traced to garbage, they said, since re-infections take place among animals red with garbage, but never among grain-fed hogs. VE first was discovered near Buenn Park in April, 1932, and thousands of hogs were destroyed in the belief that it was hoof and mouth disease. The symptoms are very similar during early stages of VE, said Dr. Russell.
