Leahy stands beside his car in the White House grounds after what he termed a "courtesy call" on President Eisenhower today. He said they did not discuss the question of a reported decision by Eisenhower to pull the American Seventh Fleet out of Formosan waters in order to free Chinese Nationalists for attacks on the Chinese mainland. However, the 77-year-old former personal chief of staff to Presidents Roosevelts and Truman said that might be "a bright idea." Adm. Leahy Lauds Idea of Using Nationalist Chinese on Mainland WASHINGTON (UP)—Fleet Adm. William H. Leahy, former chief of naval operations, said Saturday that if anybody wants Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese Nationalist forces to "help us settle the problem on the China coast, it's a bright idea." Leahy, emerging from a 15 minutes talk with President Eisenhower at the White House, was commenting on reports the President plans to order the Seventh Fleet out of the Formosa Strait and open the war for Chinese Nationalist raids on the communist-held mainland. Courtesy Call The 77-year-old five star admiral, who was World War II chief of staff to Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, disclaimed any knowledge of Eisenhower's reported plans. He described his visit as a courtesy call and said it was devoted to reminiscences about the days when he and Eisenhower served together on the joint chiefs of staff. Leahy has no regular assignment now, although he has an office in the Navy Department and is considered technically on active duty. Eisenhower began applying the finishing touches to the state of the union message he will read to Congress Monday noon. If he makes the widely predicted announcement that he is cancelling former President Trueman's order of June 27, 1950, sealing off China's forces on Formosa from the Chinese mainland, he apparently will meet strong support in Congress. With some few exceptions, members of both parties applauded the prospect. Taft Agrees Sen. Taft of Ohio, the Republican Senate leader, said "it seems to me it will be a step in the right direction and about as long a step as we should make at this time." Taft said that if the Seventh Fleet is ordered out of the Formosa Strait it would leave open the possibility of a future blockade of the China coast by U.S. warships. "The order apparently doesn't imply that there will be any blockade," Taft said, "but it certainly leaves open the possibility." Anaheim Broth Pleading guilty to theJA burglary of L. N.

Campbell, bureau director. In 1947, the first year of the juvenile bureau's operation, there were 147 juveniles arrested and detained, besides 30 others arrested and released to parents. The 1952 report shows 411 juveniles arrested and detained, and 81 arrested and released to parents. The increase has been more among boys than among girls. Campbell's report shows. In 1947 there were 105 boys and 42 girls arrested and detained. In 1952 there were 340 boys and 71 girls. The increase thus was 308 per cent among boys and only 59 per cent among girls. Since population statistics were not available, there was no comparison between increases in rates of delinquency according to population. In addition to the juveniles detained or released to parents, the sheriff's bureau during 1952 referred 421 boys and 77 girls to the probation department for processing. Another 624 boys and 74 girl offenders were handled informally within the bureau. A record was kept of interrogations of 507 boys and 101 girls while an estimated additional 400 boys and 110 girls were interrogated without names being recorded. Campbell's report stated. Seventy one male minors and 10 female minors were processed through the bureau for drinking alcoholic beverages, being intoxicated, or in possession of alcoholic beverages. Four boys were arrested and detained during the year for possession or use of marijuana. During 168 burglary investigations, 136 juveniles were apprehended. Of these, 70 boys and four girls were detained; eight boys referred to the probation department without detention, 51 boys and three girls handled informally in the bureau, where they were counseled and released to parents. Major crimes caused the arrest and detention of 139 juveniles during 1952. The major crimes listed included 74 burglary, five armed robberies, 15 assault, four assaults with deadly weapon, nine escapes, three rapes, one contributing to delinquency, three forgeries, nine grand thefts of autos, four possession of marijuana, nine possession of deadly weapons, three felony child molesting.

Douglas Hits Tidelands Bill As 'Giveway' WASHINGTON (UP)—Sen Douglas D-III Saturday night denounced a proposal to give states clear title to submerged oil lands off their shores as a 40-billion dollar "giveaway." He discussed the tidelands oil issue in the first of a new series of transcribed radio broadcasts over Illinois stations. Douglas said the offshore oil lands belong to the people of all 48 states and the income from them should be used to increase teachers' salaries and improve schools throughout the country. But he conceded it now "seems likely" congress will pass legislation to give the lands to California, Texas and Louisiana. Douglas said he is backing an amendment by Sen. Hill D-Ala to the tidelands bill under which most of the revenues from offshore oil would be allocated among all the states for educational purposes.

"I can not emphasize too strong," Collins said. "that Gen. Van Fleet is more concerned over any operation that causes the loss of a single life than anyone except a parent or relative of a man."

Flood waters swept over coastal towns and threatened London in the Thames estuary. At least seven ships caught hurrying for shore were in distress at sea. 128 Lives Lost The big disaster was the sinking Saturday of the ferry ship Princess Victoria in the Irish Sea with the reported loss of 128 of the 177 persons aboard. The fierce winds sent the River Thames spewing across an estimated half square mile of London's East End. Police loudspeaker vans toured the streets before dawn warning riverside Londoners that they might have to flee their homes. The mounting pressure forced some canal gates open and the swirling floods rose two feet deep over a wide area in London's dockland. A small tidal wave, sweeping two miles inland, marooned the 685 people of the coastal village of Cley in Norfolk. Troops were called out to rescue families stranded by the flood waters, but were unable to get within half a miles off the town of Withersea. Daughter Killed at Aliso Creek S.

Dulles Throws Out Vincent Super Board WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (F) — Secretary of State Dulles has dismissed a special board set up by former Secretary of State Acheson to make a new study of loyalty charges against John Carter Vincent, veteran diplomat. Dulles plans to "take action" on the basis of recommendations already before him. This was announced Saturday by the state department with the release of an exchange of letters between Judge Learned Hand of New York, chairman of the Acheson-appointed group, and Dulles. The government's loyalty review board last month advised Acheson that it had found "a reasonable doubt" as to Vincent's loyalty to the United States government. It cited various allegations against him, including association with Communists. In reaching this decision the review board reversed an earlier finding of the state department's loyalty and security board clearing Vincent. After receiving the review board's finding and its recommendation that Vincent be dismissed, Acheson with the approval of President Truman on Jan. 3 named a five-man board headed by Judge Hand to review the case anew. Bulletin Orange county sheriff's officers late last night arrested James Thomas Williams, 62, of Westminster for questioning in the murder of Verna Zemke and the attempted murder of his wife, Ethel, both of 71st Trask ave., Westminster.

Villa Park Area Being Leased by LA Oil Company Extensive oil leasing operations by a Los Angeles firm reportedly acting for one of the major oil companies, not identified, was in progress during the past week in the Villa Park area, it was learned. The Los Angeles firm of Keans, Springman and Stipec was signing leases on a basis of $3 per month per acre, it was stated. Operations extended as far west as Wanda street and eastward to the vicinity of Santiago blvd. junction with Old County Park road. The leasing firm was understood to be acting for one of "the big three" oil companies, but this could not be verified. This is the second time in several years that a major oil company Buena Park City Council Stymied Until Sept. 1 on Financial Matters Buena Park's new city government apparently must "sit on its hands" until a budget for 1953 is adopted and a tax rate set about Sept. 1, before it can function. The city council learned at its first meeting last night. Obtaining the financial facts of government from County Auditor H. Eckel, the council was told that until it has a "tax expectancy" it cannot borrow money for operations. It will not have a tax expectancy until its budget is fixed and its tax rate set, to determine the tax money that will be provisioned to the city when collections come in next December. Further Eckel advised the council the city is not entitled to a share of county tax moneys already collected, because that money was collected expressly for county government purposes. It would not be practical. Eckel added, to attempt to segregate funds of the special districts, such as the fire protection district, water works district, library district, etc., serving the Buena Park area which also include territory outside of the city limits. Moreover, said the auditor, if the city were apportioned funds for the fire protection district, for example, it would have to assume responsibility for the buildings, which are located within the city. Court fines allocated to cities or collections by the new municipal court districts, include only taxes collected under city ordinances, and, in traffic cases, from rests made by the city traffic officers. Buena Park as yet has no city finances, except the first one, posted last night, authorizing the city to collect city taxes. Nor is it any traffic officers thus far. It appeared, accordingly, that the new city is "broke" until next fiscal year's tax collecting ma- chinery can be established. Supervisor Ralph J. McFadden of Placentia, representing the Third supervisorial district, including Buena Park, attended the meeting. NEW YORK. Jan. 31 (P) — Gen. Douglas MacArthur Saturday night lauded the reported plan to pull the U.S. Seventh fleet out of the Formosa strait and said former President Truman's order sending it there was a "fundamental error which has contaminated the entire far eastern situation."

Effective Christianity By Rev. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church "Why do you have to be always harping about belonging to church and attending regularly? Can't a fellow be a Christian apart from the church?" asked a friend the other day. The answer is. "Perhaps, but not the most effective Christian." The best men acting independently cannot Christianize the social order any more, says Dr. Halford Luccock, than a group of individuals can create a city water system by sinking a well "each in his own back yard." Every social agency owes a debt to the church, for the church taught the ethics on which civic organizations carry on their work of mercy and kindness and care. Witness: the hospitals, homes for the aged—and for children, the Red Cross, et cetera. Public education began in the New England churches, and did not arise from political propaganda. Yes, why not recognize; then, our responsibility to the churches which keep these agencies—and many more—alive, and contribute of our time and means to the church, that it may truly be the vital instrument in God's hand which He intends it to be. Just what kind of a Christian do you think can grow up apart from the church?
