TORRIS Fog Shrouds SF; Nine Injured in Fog-bound Wrecks SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The second straight day of fog socked in airports in the San Francisco Bay area, caused minor car crashes on Golden Gate Bridge—and more fog was in prospect Monday night. The white shroud, after lifting briefly Monday afternoon, closed in so thickly at Oakland Airport that the CAA control tower man said "I can't see the end of the runway." Nine persons were injured, none seriously, in a series of car pile-ups and rear-end crashes of commuters during the morning rush hour on Golden Gate Bridge. Seven were given emergency hospital treatment. There were two minor crashes on the Bay Bridge. The Weather Bureau's forecast said: "Fog was again thick and persistent in the central coastal area and in many of the valleys today. It will decrease somewhat during the afternoon hours but will form again tonight. The southern fringe of a low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska is causing rain from near Eureka north today. The rain will extend southward to Point Arena and Ukiah on Tuesday." Small craft warnings, calling for southerly winds of 20 to 35 miles an hour, were issued at 1 p.m. for the area from Cape Mendocino to Cape Blanco. At times Monday, the nearest air fields open for commercial and military use were at Mather, east Rotary Speaker Backs MacArthur On Bombing Red Manchuria Bases The Chinese Communist invasion of Korea could have been avoided if the U.S. Air Force had been allowed to bomb certain strategic areas in Manchuria as Gen. Douglas MacArthur wanted to do, the Anaheim Rotary club was told yesterday by Col. Jim Northon, former pilot in Korea and now Santa Ana street inspector. A light bomber flyer, Norton explained that the advantage of the small bombers lay in their ability to go as low as 20 feet above the ground in bombing a target, which is a necessity in the Korean mountainous terrain. "All the ridges were dug in by the Communists so securely," he said, "that it was impossible to storm them from the bottom. They had to be bombed out from low altitudes." The Chinese soon caught on to the flyers practice of sweeping low through canyons and stretched cables across the canyons, which were impossible to see. This, and other Communist tricks, played havoc with the American aviators, Norton, a native Santa Ana resident, said. Using slides to depict his story, Norton said that the B-26, a Douglas plane that incorporated the best features of all the light bombers, was as fast as a pursuit yet carried 16.50 caliber machine guns, 14 rockets, and as many as 12 bombs. The B-26 was used effectively in bombing supply lines and working, in close support with the ground forces on the front lines; but because of the low flying was subject to small arms fire and supercussions from exploding bombs, he said. In order to allow the plane to get away before the bombs exploded, either three-second delay bombs or bombs with attached parachutes were used, Norton said. Norton also praised the courage and ability of the British team in Korea. The new members were added into the Anaheim Rotary at the meeting, as Dave C and Hank Walsworth were included by Earle Woodward. Reduced Meat Prices Seen by Butcher Conclave SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Housewife may benefit soon lower meat prices. Max J. Ossio, president of AFL Western Conference Butchers, told delegates Monroe "There is a lag in prices between the slaughterhouse and the butcher. Meat prices at slaughterhouse level have decreased. We expect this crease to become more rapid." "We also expect retail prices to start reflecting downward trend soon." There were 150 delegates from the Western states, senting the 30,000 members of butchers' organization.

Condemned Enjoy Hearty Banquet SAN QUENTIN (AP)—Robert Dessauer, 30, a Los Angeles merderer known in the state pror for his huge appetite, was cut Monday morning in Quentin's lethal gas chamber. Described by Warden Harley Teets as "the most composed I ever saw," Dessauer was sentenced to death for killing common-law wife, Libbie Bershski, April 2, 1951. Before entering the gas chamber at 10 a.m., he consumed breakfast of ham, eggs, rolls, foe, fruit and milk.

Apparently, the publicity given the disease has paid off, as folks have been taking better care of themselves. This is the cold-catching season. And while there is some absenteesim in Anaheim industrial, mercantile establishments, and schools, it is low compared to the epidemic-like proportions of the 1951 outbreak. Absenteeism ran from 15 to 40 per cent then. Anahi was hard hit two years ago with as many as 150 students absent. In that epidemic 257 Anaheim elementary school pupils and four teachers were flu victims. Anahi had its flu epidemic in 1951 and is thankful that this year's cases are at a minimum. Let's keep our fingers crossed. BRIEFLY—Jack (Sugar) Ryan, one of the best high school pitchers ever developed in the Orange county league, is now associated with his brother, Earl Ryan, in the laundry business. His career took him from Grounded Freighter Partially Freed; Fate of Steward Unknown SAN DIEGO (P) — The freighter Fairhope, whose steward is attempting to pull the 548-foot ship off a Mexican island. Navy tug Viking, which is attempting to pull the 548-foot ship off a Mexican island. The Coast Guard reported that beach gear, set up to give the big tug more leverage, gave way and prevented the Fairhope from sliding free of the sandbar. Bigging was set up for another refloating attempt at the next high tide, the Coast Guard cutter Morris radioed. The message said the salvage master believed the freighter, carrying a secret military cargo, could be refloated. An earlier message said her bottom had been ripped and that there was six feet of water in some compartments. However, maritime engineers said the compartments could be sealed off. The Fairhope was en route from Yokohama, Japan, to Mobile, Ala., via the Panama Canal. Seamen expressed surprise that she was aground. The grounding was several miles off the normal course. Capt. H. T. Hallman radioed for an armed guard. But the Coast Guard said it could not comply since the vessel was in Mexican waters. As for the reported murder of the chief steward—the FBI here said it had no jurisdiction until the freighter or its crew is back on the high seas or in U.S. territory. The Fairhope, owned by the Waterman Steamship Company of Mobile, Ala., under charter to the U.S. Military Transport Service, went around Friday night in the San Benito Islands, 270 miles south of here. A message relayed from the Coast Guard cutter Morris, which reached the ship Sunday, said the steward, Carl Thurmond, 56, of Sibyle, Ala., was missing and believed murdered. He disappeared, the message said, after the ship left San Pedro for Mobile Thursday. His quarters were spattered with blood. The sea was calm and the Fairhope's crew of 40 was not in immediate danger. Dragna Fails to Halt Deportation BRIEFLY—Jack (Sugar) Ryan, one of the best high school pitchers ever developed in the Orange county league, is now associated with his brother, Earl Ryan, in the laundry business. His career took him from Brea to Ventura, Guam; Casa Blanca and wayside points in security patrol work. He went to the FBI school and was fifth in his class. Jack has been places, but—"there's no place like home." Salome Arlas is back in the hospital. Anaheim's original hard luck guy—he's been in two crippling taxi accidents which would have killed ordinary men. That Santa Fe Railroad diesel locomotive that was ditched in Fullerton in that spectacular freight train accident is back on the job pulling cars. QUIZZICALLY—How many of the original Anaheimers can you name? Betcha there aren't a half dozen Anaheimers who can name more than a half dozen of the "original fifty." Can you? ... The stockholders adopted the name of "Annaheim" for their colony on Jan. 15, 1858 by one vote. What was the second choice? ... Why wasn't Anaheim layed out by the points of the compass similar to other municipalities? ... One of the oldest landmarks of early day Anaheim (1885) still stands and is the only remaining memento of the vineyard period of city's history. It is the old Dreyfuss winery, what is the building now used for? PERSONALITIES—Leo Sheridan. Most Anaheimers know the man who is secretary-manager of the Anaheim Union Water company, a concern which even predates the establishment of the community. Oil production on the water company property made it possible for the concern to render even better service to its stockholders and clients... Pat Ahearn. The baseball entrepreneur has been weighing offers from various communities who wish to stage the Junior Legion Baseball tournament which has been an annual La Palma park fixture. Congressman Cecil King (D-Long Beach) knows what plucky Patrick can do. So does Anaheim. Here's hoping that the man gets a better break this year.

Dragna Fails to Halt Deportation Proceedings LOS ANGELES (UP)—Jack Dragna, whom the California Crime commission has described as "the Al Capone of California," lost out Monday in his efforts to halt deportation proceedings against him. He had sought an injunction to restrain the U.S. Immigration Service from continuing the hearing. Dragna argued he was previously exonerated of charges of illegal entry from Mexico at Immigration Service hearings. The new deportation move was begun last December when District Immigration Director Herman R. Landon said later rullings by the Department of Justice gave new grounds for the proceedings. Federal Judge Leon R. Yankwich said in denying Dragna's petition: "To issue this injunction I would have to assume that an action by a federal agency would be illegal. This I cannot do." Jordan Requests British Armed Aid LONDON (UP)—The foreign office disclosed Monday that Jordan has formally asked Britain for help against alleged Israeli frontier attacks. The Hashimite kingdom is reported to have made a similar approach to the United States. The action flowed from a recent series of border clashes between the two countries, for which the Arabs and Jews have blamed each other. PEOPLE—Joe Cano, the Anaheim tortilla, tacos, tamale king, is doing right well in the palate-tickling business. Didcha see where that Artesia man got a birthday present he didn't want: a coffin? Maurice Bingham, 51, was killed instantly to become the tenth traffic fatality in Orange county. Drive carefully. Don't let it happen to you! . Cpl. Harry Carroll is among the latest returnees from Korea. The Anahelmer had a lot of interesting experiences held like to forget. What gyrene hasn't? . Assemblyman LeRo Lyon, Jr., will have an opportunity to see if he can get highway authorities to spend a few gas-tax dollars for a signal on Citron and Center streets. Jan Larson circulated a petition signed by nearly a thousand Anahi students. If anyone can get action it is Lyon, a native Anahelmer. TRAFFIC—That reminds us, while the Anaheim city council hasn't the authority to do anything but recommend signals for state highways, the city dads could do something to provide signals for Broadway and Lemon street. Traffic seems to be heaviest between Chartres and Broadway on Lemon. That Chestnut and Lemon corner is rough as everyone and his brother seems to want to drive up or down the street whenever you do. The problem could be partially alleviated by prohibiting parking on Lemon street between Chartres and Broadway during business hours. That would eliminate some of those fenderbenders, tempers and traffic bottlenecks. AFTERTHOT—A hen that lays a good egg is entitled to tattle, but it's the comedian who crowds about it.
