In back row 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 VOLUME LXXXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUAR 8th Army Judge Advocate Reports Desertions High SEOUL (P)—The U. S. Eighth Army's judge advocate today said there have been instances of numerous desertions by U. S. troops in almost every division during the Korean war. Col. Robert Lancefield cited instances of courts-martial involving large groups of men charged with desertion in the 2nd, 24th, 45th and 1st Cavalry divisions. His statements followed disclosure by the U. S. Third Division of large-scale desertion of refusal to go into combat in its 65th Puerto Rican regiment. 93 Convicted One officer and 92 enlisted men of the 65th were convicted last week of misbehavior in the face of the enemy. They were sentenced to prison terms ranging from six months to 10 years. Four were acquitted and one case still is pending. Lancefield said in an interview there had been 100 to 150 military trials for cowardice or related charges in the 1st Cavalry division alone in October-November, 1951, and about the same number in the 2nd Division in the last three months of 1951. "There have been instances of rather considerable numbers of desertions," he said. "These usually came at times when the going was heavy and we were getting heavy casualties." First 'in' 24th He said perhaps the first such instance occurred early in the war in the U. S. 24th Division when it was shouldering the brunt of the fighting. Lancefield said charges at the trials fell into three categories: Misbehavior or cowardice before problematical If Russia Can Make Good A Bomb Six-Year-Old Steals Show in Washington WASHINGTON (UP)—A six-year-old boy, two front teeth missing and a big grin lighting up his face, stole the show Wednesday at a Justice Department oath-taking ceremony. He was Douglas Rogers, the proud son of William P. Rogers who was being sworn in as deputy attorney general after quite a career as a crime sleuth for Senate investigators. Through a line of dignitaries—Atty. Gen. Brownell, Vice President Nixon, Sens. Kefauver and Hoey were there—young Douglas dashed with a message. Written in crayon on a sheet of school paper decorated with an American flag, it said: "Hooray for Daddy—Doug." Missing Plane's Pilot Located Alive on Beach SEATTLE (UP)—The pilot of a Central British Columbia Airways plane, one of three aircraft reported missing in the Pacific Northwest in the past 24 hours, was found alive Wednesday night on a beach 400 miles north of Vancouver, B.C. The body of one of the plane's six passengers was also found. Twenty-three other persons, including 10 on a U.S. Navy patrol plane and eight on an RCAF Dakota, were still missing. The two military planes vanished Wednesday. Pilot James J. Siddle, told rescuers the CBCA plane stayed afloat for two and one-half hours after it plunged into the water 200 yards offshore Tuesday. He said the six passengers donned life jackets and struck out for He said perhaps the first such instance occurred early in the war in the U.S. 24th Division when it was shouldering the brunt of the fighting. Lancefield said charges at the trials fell into three categories: Misbehavior or cowardice before Problematical If Russia Can Make Good A-Bomb BEAUMONT, Tex., Jan. 28 (UP)—What about Russia and the A-bomb? Does she have it? A Nobel prize winning physicist who pioneered in atomic research said Wednesday Russia has the scientific know-how to make an atomic bomb. But Dr. Arthur H. Compton described as "highly problematical" whether the nation can "put a workable A-bomb together." Not Denial In an interview with the Beaumont Journal, Compton said he wasn't taking issue with former President Truman's statement yesterday that Russia may not have the A-bomb. Said Compton, a top Manhattan atomic bomb project scientist during World War II: Has Information "Without a doubt Russia has all the information needed to make an atomic bomb." "But whether she has the technical knowledge and the industrial technology to put a workable A-bomb together is highly problematical." "Mr. Truman has had access to much more intelligence, reports and information than I, and I am not in a position to make conclusions as to what he does or does not know about Russia and the A-bomb. Remember he did not say that Russia does not have a workable atomic bomb. He merely questioned whether Russia has such a bomb."

Siddle, told rescuing CBCA plane stayed two and one-half hours plumbed into the water offshore Tuesday He six passengers donned jets and struck out for UAW-CIO Union says Half of Local Norcrafters Joined in Vote Request The National Labor Relations board will hold a hearing next week on the formation of a UAW-CIO union at the Anaheim Northrop Aircraft, Inc., optical range-finder plant. A petition was sent to the NLRB Jan. 22 by the Anaheim UAW-CIO local at the request of more than half of the Northrop employees. International Representative William Goldmann said. Notification of the petition was received by Northrop Jan. 23. George Reisch, assistant to the general manager, sald, but no action had been taken on the petition by the company. Although non-committal on the union's actions, Reisch said that the company has no ethical or legal right to halt the hearing or subsequent election, and therefore Northrop will be satisfied with the decision of its employees. Two Alternatives At the hearing, at which the aircraft workers will be represented by Joe Williams, M. R. Burgess and Williams S. Brown, the company can either agree to an election or ask the NLRB for a more thorough study of the matter before taking action. Goldmann said. According to Reisch, no decision will be made until tomorrow, when the date on the hearing will be set. In either case the election will not be held for at least 60 days, the CIO representative said. Representatives of the company and the bargaining union, as yet unnamed, will also be present at the hearing in addition to the workers' representatives. Fringe Benefits, Too The issues included in the petition, besides the standard UAW-CIO contract protection, are the protection of seniority rights, promotion privileges, company-paid insurance and pensions, and severance and sick pay. The union, which began organization in the plant last January No. 325 Marshall Asks Additional Help, Hike in Salary Marshal Haskell Kelley of Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court district wants an additional deputy and an additional clerk in his office, with his own salary upped from $4800 to $6000 a year, while Judge John Shea requests classification of one clerk in his court as a senior clerk, with a higher salary, starting at $273 per month. He asked no salary increase for himself, but recommended a salary of $12,000 a year for municipal judges, now receiving $9000 a year. That, he said, would be in line with practice elsewhere in the state. But the county supervisors who received these request Tuesday, indicated they are not yet sold on the idea of increasing costs of the new courts. Supervisor Ralph J. McFadden remarked that "The main talking point for court reorganization was economy, and I can't see the economy." Chairman Willis H Warner said if "we get this high caliber of courts we'll be going back to the old system of smaller courts. The poole won't stand for it. We could easily cut these courts up into two more municipal court districts." Judge Shea told the supervisors that rough estimates indicate Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court Three Anaheim Boy Scouts received the Eagle Scout award Scouting's highest honor, at Northern Orange county county annual report last night. Bill Hoffman, Henry Lin, and Frank Cancino were among 11 recipients of the awards, made by Jury Finds Borg Guilty Deliberating nearly 11 hrs year old Hollywood model, Angeles engineer and adjourn last night found both south Laguna motel last Seat. Attorney Lloyd Verry of Flerton, representing Miss Boys immediately moved for a judgment in her favor notwithstanding the verdict, but Judge Robe Gardner immediately denied pointing out that such a motion on order only in a civil action. Verry then moved for a trial for the girl and made an application for probation. Hearings was set for Feb. 20 on both the new trial motion and application for probation. Sanity Trial Today Mitman, who had also pleaded insanity as a defense, will be tried by the same jury at 10 a.m. today on the sanity question. The jury, which took the case at 11:37 a.m., yesterday returned its verdict at 10:15 p.m. With it verdict, the jury rejected Mitman's plea of double jeopardy which he made because of a prior Los Angeles prosecution arising from photographs of the couple in unnatural sex poses, on which the Orange county prosecution was based. Judge Gardner, when instructing the jury, advised that Mitman's plea of double jeopardy disregarded since Los Angeles county authorities lacked jurisdiction over the Orange county offense and could not have prosecuted it. One Girl Per Pic The Los Angeles prosecution charged Mitman with lewd vagrancy after Miss Borg accused him of demanding that she supply him with a "virtuous girl" for each of the 72 negatives made by Laguna Beach.

Representatives of the company and the bargaining union, as yet unnamed, will also be present at the hearing in addition to the workers' representatives. Fringe Benefits, Too The issues included in the petition, besides the standard UAW-CIO contract protection, are the protection of seniority rights, promotion privileges, company-paid insurance and pensions, and severance and sick pay. The union, which began organization in the plant last July, is asking for a change in the wage structure based on guaranteed top rates. They request a reduction of the spread between the minimum and maximum rates, and higher top rates. Currently the company is making increases to the top level rates on a merit basis, which is also opposed by the union. Red Prison Riots Charged to Plot By Truce Team TOKYO, Jan. 28 (UP)—The United Nations command charged Thursday that a "Soviet army officer," and top Communist armistice negotiators "deliberately planned and master-minded" Red prisoners of war riots in allied camps as part of a "second front" of the Korean war. The charges, fully documented from captured papers and prisoner admission, presaged the possible final breakdown of the long recessed Korean truce talks although no responsible authority would comment. A startling 50-page intelligence report, accompanied by a five-page UN command statement, traced a fantastic chain of command from the Communist truce delegation to the prisoner mutinies on Koje, Cheju and Pongam islands last year in which more than 200 prisoners were killed." Supervisor Ralph J. McFadden remarked that "The main talking point for court reorganization was economy, and I can't see the economy." Chairman Willis H. Warner said if "we get this high caliber of courts we'll be going back to the old system, of smaller courts. The people won't stand for it. We could easily cut these courts up into two more municipal court districts." Judge Shea told the supervisors that rough estimates indicate Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court district is operating at approximately $9000 a year less in salaries than formerly when eight courts were operating. Referring to request for a senior clerk classification, he said Miss Doris Desch, who served as clerk 14 years in the old Anaheim Justice court, took a salary cut when the court reorganization became effective. Marshal Kelley, asking for an additional deputyship to be provided, said he did not need one now but would in the future. He now has two deputies. Brown Pledges All-Out War on Dope Traffic LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28 (UP)—Federal aid will be sought in an all-out war against California's growing illegal traffic in narcotics, Attv. Gen. Edmund G. Brown said here Wednesday. He declared the drug traffic continues to grow, particularly among minors, despite numerous arrests in recent months. Brown said he will seek the cooperation of U.S. S. Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell in "an attempt to use all facilities of that office and of the department of state in obtaining the aid of Mexican authorities in more effective blocking of foreign shipments of narcotics." One Girl Per Pic The Los Angeles prosecutor charged Mitman with lewd vague rancy after Miss Borg accused him of demanding that she supply him with a "virtuous girl" for each of the 72 negatives made in Laguna Beach. She said he threatened to publish the photograph prints unless she granted his demands. Mitman was convicted and sex psychochopath proceedings against him are pending in the Los Angeles court. Publicity given the case in Los Angeles drew the attention of Orange county authorities to the couple and their arrest followed. Miss Borg, at the trial, had declared that she was forced by Mitman's threat of violence to post for the photographs after he had induced her to accompany him to the motel by promises of a modeling contract with $750 a month; also a $10,000 wardrobe and promise he would bring her mother from Germany to this country. Denies Using Force Mitman, in an 11-minute ad dress to the fury in his own defense, denied using force or threats upon the girl. He has testified at the trial that he has been with her on other occasion before and after the South Laguna incident and had paid her $2 to stay overnight with him. In the event the two defendants are sentenced, alternative are up to one year in the county jail or up to 15 years in state prison.

Three Anaheim Boy Scouts receive Highest Award Before 250 Scout leaders at Knott's Berry Farm. The others who received the awards, presented by Tex Middleton and Bill Sturgeon, were Bob Askey, Howard Renner, Bob Walker, Richard Heath, Densil Turner, Jerry Hill, Richard Pike, and Robert Nielsen. The Silver Beaver, outstanding achievement award, presented annually to the leader who has done the most for Scouting in the previous year, was given to H. G. Polley of Placentia. Vice President Joe Sowder was elected to the presidency of the council for 1953, with Phillip Twombly succeeding him as vice president. O. E. Hanson and Edwin J. Erickson were retained as treasurer and commissioner respectively, while Tom Yellis and Louis Larson were elected as co-second vice presidents. National representatives will be Middleton and E. Steffensen. The Scout Jamboree, International Assembly of Scouts which will be held in Orange county on Irvine Ranch this year, will bring over 50,000 Scouts into the county, President Harold Browning said. Two troops, 70 boys, will represent the Northern Orange county district at the Jamboree, at which the Scouts will build a complete camp and display all types of handicraft, he said. Dave McMillen, chief juvenile probationary officer of Orange county, told the assembled youth leaders and parents that their work in the Scouting movement is a tremendous factor in the reduction of delinquency. Delinquency is not totally environmental, but also the result of an inherited incapability in facing problems, said McMillen, who was introduced by Past President J. F. Addy. The Scouting movement, he said, teaches youth to cope with their problems, keeping childhood tragedies from dominating their future lives. For the third year in succession, Troop 291, Fullerton, received the annual outstanding advancement award. The trophy, presented by Scout Executive Lloyd Paxton, becomes perpetual when won four years running.

Daily Living for Peace of Mind Editor's note: This is one of a series of daily articles by Anaheim ministers and is published by the Gazette in the interest of the kind of daily living that leads to contentment and happiness in troubled times. 'Borax' or Genuine? By REV. WM. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church Some of the cut-rate furniture houses in the middle-west refer to the cheapest of their stock as "borax." When a person appears to be an easy mark and doesn't appreciate quality, enters the store, the word is passed along to show him "borax." Life compels us to often choose between the best there is and "borax" in things, situations, persons, even in religion. Yes, there is even "borax" religions. Christ, through the Church, offers you a religion of high quality both intellectually and in its ability to meet your daily needs. Each one of us, in a sense, chooses furniture for the future life. Will it be the beautiful qualities of a Christian life or the shoddy and cheap veneer of a "borax" life? No one compels you to select the lesser for the best. You make the choice every day and generally many times a day. Don't choose "borax."!
