Bandit Holds up Crown Motel A young gunman, wielding an old-fashioned long-barreled .22 pistol held up the Crown motel, 1136 N. Los Angeles st., early yesterday morning and escaped with a total of four $5 bills—$20. According to George D. Royer, motel owner, the youth entered his office and registered for a room giving the address 5250 Sunset blvd., Los Angeles. Immediately after registering, he pulled the gun and demanded that Royer hand over the money in the cash register. The car the bandit used in the robbery was traced to a realty company, at 5250 Sunset blvd., Los Angeles. McCracken's attorneys asked the court for a hearing to declare him insane on the grounds recent shock treatments administered at San Quentin were reasonable evidence he is not in his right mind. The court today stayed the execution to give it time to consider the merits of the appeal. But the court gave no indication it would necessarily hear the case. Slayer Depressed Dr. Davis G. Schmidt, San Quentin psychiatrist, said the shock treatments were given the former hillbilly guitar player because he "had begun to be so depressed he would not eat, drink, nor cooperate with officers on condemned row." Warden Harlev O Teets called the treatments "routine." But McCracken's attorneys argued they were sufficient ground to believe he is insane, despite a November ruling by Marin Superior Judge N. Charles Brusatori that insanity claims were not justified. Ruling Upheld Judge Brusatori's ruling was upheld by the state district court of appeals. McCracken—who had a prior record of sex offenses—was convicted in Santa Ana on Sept. 19, 1951 of murdering Patricia Jean Hull after luring her to his nearby motel cabin in May of that year. He was originally scheduled for execution last Oct. 21, but his insanity appeals halted the execution.

Back to Join Cabinet Senate Approval Virtually Assured by Wilson Action WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (AP)—Charles E. Wilson agreed tonight to dispose of his 2½ million dollars worth of General Motors stock and President Eisenhower formally nominated him to be secretary of defense. Wilson’s decision cleared away much of the opposition to him in the Senate and there were predictions, barring some new complication, he would be confirmed swiftly. Sen. Byrd (D-Va.), who first raised a point that it would be illegal for Wilson to serve as defense secretary while holding stock in the corporation he formerly headed, said tonight he would vote for Wilson. "I think Wilson is a man of integrity and his decision is right," Byrd added. Financial Sacrifice Sen. Russell (D-Ga.) told a reporter he believes a majority of the senate armed services committee will vote to approve Wilson's nomination if there is a "bona fide sale" of his General Motors stock. For Wilson, the taking on of the tremendous job of defense secretary will mean a heavy financial sacrifice. It has been estimated that he will have to pay $500,000 to $600,000 in capital gains taxes on selling his 2½ million dollars worth of stock. At first he had held that he should not be called on to take such a loss, but senators said it would be illegal for him to hold the stock while serving in a post.

Anaheim Would Profit $175,256 Under Proposed Sales Tax Scheme SACRAMENTO (CNS) — A comprehensive report indicating all California counties, and a majority of cities in this state would benefit from the proposed new method of state sales tax collection contained in Senate Bill 1344. introduced by Senator Hugh M. Burns, Fresno, is before the state legislature for consideration. The report was made by the senate interim committee on state and local taxation, headed by Senator Ben F. Hulse, of Imperial county. The Burns bill proposes elimination of all city assessed sales taxes, and a four, instead of a three per cent tax by the state, with proceeds of the extra penny to be allocated to cities and counties in lieu of the tax previously assessed by the cities. For Orange county, the estimated yield would amount to $160,752, equivalent to a property tax rate of $0.038 in the county, according to the interim committee's estimates. For the city of Anaheim, which has no sales taxes, the estimated yield under the new plan would amount to $175,256 or the property tax equivalent of $0.867 per hundred on the assessed valuation.

Bubbles in the Pond By FRANK E. BUTTERWORTH Pastor, White Temple Methodist Church Did you ever stand by the brink of a pond and watch tiny bubbles rising to the surface here and there? They are often an indication that some old piece of wood is rotting on the bottom, and sending up bubbles of gas to indicate its presence. Psychologists tells us that human personalities do the same thing. When there is some repressed and hidden grudge or hatred within our hearts or minds, it betrays its presence through foul bubbles that deform our personalities and our peace of mind. The bubbles may take the form of a physical illness, or they may appear as melancholia or as a bitter attitude toward life. The only way to remove these bubbles on the surface is to remove their corrupt source deep inside our souls. Herein lies the therapeutic value of the Roman Catholic's confession and of the Protestant's daily quiet time for self-searching and prayer. If we are too busy to clean our teeth, they decay. If we are too busy to examine our attitudes regularly and relentlessly, our personalities will decay too, and may even cause genuine physical illness. How long has it been since you searched for the cause of those bubbles in the pond?
