SA Policemen Get Lie Detector Test in Bookie Evidence Probe Lie detector tests have been given to four Santa Ana police officers in connection with the county grand jury probe of missing "bookie" evidence, which disappeared from a locker in police headquarters a few weeks ago. Chief of Police B. A. Hershey, who refused to name the four officers or disclose results of the tests, said that some other members of his department probably will be given the tests. Many officers have been questioned by the grand jury in the investigation. Hershey said that nearly every member of the police force had access to the locker, a key being kept in charge of the desk sergeant. The evidence, including $677.11 in cash, was taken from Mrs. Norma Halsey, 32, Santa Ana, when she was arrested and booked on a felony bookmaking charge. Loss of the evidence from the locker was discovered when Dist. Atty James L. Davis received through the mail from Garden Grove the sum of $676. Next day, Mrs. Halsey pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor lottery charge and was fined $400. Nixon Manager Denies Bribe Offer SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Murray Chotiner, recently Vice President Nixon's campaign manager, Thursday branded as "an unmitigated lie" a report he offered a bribe during a Los Angeles political campaign.

Harbor Strike Ties up NY Port NEW YORK (P)—A small bor strike blossomed into a fledged waterfront tieup Thu and President Eisenhower asked to intervene. Thin picket lines were thinned by striking tugboat crews and AFL longshoremen refuses to climb them to unload ships. The Commerce and Industry society of New York, Inc., ed the tieup a threat to international trade and asked President Eisenhower to try to end it confronting him with the labor crisis.

Press Agent St Mickey Cohen Loses Appeal SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Mickey Cohen, Los Angeles gambler, lost another attempt Thursday to reverse his conviction for income tax evasion. The U.S. Ninth Court of Appeals here refused his request to reconsider its decision upholding his conviction of evading $156,000 in federal income taxes for 1946 and 1947. He is now in McNeil Island Penitentiary, serving a five-year sentence. His attorneys said they would appeal to the United States Supreme Court. LONDON (AP)—Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden declined Thursday night to "defend or justify" President Elsenhower's action in deneutralizing Formosa, but he told worried Britons he was sure the United States has no aggressive intentions. Britain to Link Forces with Allies LONDON (AP)—Britain disclosed today her plans for linking—but not joining—her air, land and sea forces with the projected European Defense Community. The plans provide in part for coordinated air defense systems and the interchange of air force squadrons between this country and France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg—the six nations making up the European army project. Forces Available A foreign office statement said British sailors, airmen and soldiers will be available for service with EDC forces at command and staff level. Joint training and exercise facilities were also offered. These plans have been sent to the EDC nations in the hope of speeding the project; long delayed by French-German rivalries. They are over and above special guarantees which bind Britain automatically to go to the aid of any EDC nation in case of an attack. The special guarantees are spelled out in a mutual assistance treaty between Britain and EDC signed last May 27. This country already has six divisions based in Europe. Duties Prods They form part of Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's North Atlantic Treaty Organization land forces. The EDC forces similarly would form part of the NATO armies. An outline of the British proposals was given Thursday to U.S. Secretary of State Dulles who has been prodding European nations to move along faster with the unity movement. Britain has been pressed sly by a jumpy France to be a full member of the EDC, but consistently refused. The French want the Brit because they don't want to alone in Europe with a stricter Germany. Real Participation But the British, pointily their worldwide common links, have argued steadily their opinion would not sway entry into a European federation at this time. The proposed methods of up with EDC are design dispel the impression in some tinential countries that Brit ready only to applaud the project, but unwilling to make it live. Predicts Bigger North TO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1879 FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 6, 1953 5 Cents per Copy 50 Cents per Month No. 331 Orange County Farmers Fight Proposed Sepulveda Freeway Route across Lands protest of Western Orange County Ranchers against routing proposed Sepulveda Freeway generally across their bean fields, probably ruining agriculture in their vicinity, they claim, were preceded by the State Highway Commission at a public hearing yesterday in the courthouse at Santa Ana. The commission took under advisement a proposed alternate route submitted by a committee of farmers through their chairman, Robert Heil. The committee objected strenuously to the diagonal section of the proposed route from the point where it Anaheim Marine is Radarman on New Sharpshooting Marine Fighter An Anaheim man, Marine Sgt.

The F3D has already shot down six would leave Garden Grove blvd., west of Westminster, to its junction with Geisler ave., north of Costa Mesa. The alternate route favored by the farmers runs north and south on either side of the Navy's Seal Beach ammunition depot and parallel to the Coast Highway near Sunset Beach for a short distance, then extends eastward to rejoin the State's proposed route at Geisler ave. Two Miles Longer The farmers' route would add about two miles of distance, but Heil contended that the extra cost of construction, estimated at about two million, would be more than counterbalanced by reduced damage to lands and by more nearly serving the purpose of the new freeway in relieving congestion on the Coast Highway.

Becker, is credited with participating in the voting down of two Communist lines in Korea with a new-type American jet plane that operates against radars. News dispatches from Korea Sgt. Becker was radarman in Harbor Strike Clines up NY Port NEW YORK (UP)—A small harbor strike blossomed into a full-fledged waterfront tieup Thursday when President Eisenhower was asked to intervene. Thin picket lines were thrown by striking tugboat crewmen and AFL longshoremen refused to miss them to unload ships. The Commerce and Industry Association of New York, Inc., called the tieup a threat to international trade and asked President Eisenhower to try to end it, thus fronting him with the first or crisis. Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri’s vice said fuel oil supplies that normally come into the city by later are “growing short.” Other central stocks were reported equate. Eighty-three of New York harbors had 143 piers were sealed off, mean liners inched in without a hazardous job that already sent two ships flashing into air piers. The 3500 tugboat men struck Saturday in a wage dispute. But longshoremen, fellow-unionists, them in the AFL International Longshoremen’s Association A, stayed on the job until Saturday. There were signs of revolt, however, within the rackets-ridden A at President Joseph P. Ryan’s order for a full-scale waterfront up. New Jersey docks were open, with ILA longshoremen ignoring tugboat pickets. Twenty-one docks in Manhattan and Brooklyn not operating. Jersey City piers were open, although Hoboken and Newark docks were idled. Eighteen docks Manhattan and Brooklyn kept operating as longshoremen ignored the tugboat pickets.

The military has just allowed information on the new plane to be made public. The craft is named the F3D Skynight and is said to be capable of shooting down enemy planes even though the pilot never sees the target with his own eyes. The F3D has already shot down six enemy planes in night fights. All but one were jets. The Skynight scans the dark skies with its radar eyes and can even spot an enemy plane that might try to attack from the rear. Once the enemy plane is spotted, either in front or behind, it has a slim chance to escape. The Skynight pilot closes in swiftly and when the enemy plane is brought within a four-mile range the radar gun sight is brought into action. When his happens, the radar is “locked on” and the gun sight goes to work with uncanny and deadly accuracy. Marine officials said the Skynight was brought into use when the Reds stepped up their night air activity. Optimists Fete Donors to Club’s Youth Building In recognition of services performed by Anaheim residents, a dinner was given last night by the Anaheim Optimist club for all who donated material and time to the building of the Optimist Youth center. Speaker at the dinner, attended by more than 125 people, was Rev. Alex Nickols, pastor of the First Methodist church of Santa Ann, who was also the sneaker at the building kick-off dinner three years ago. In briefly sketching the history of the Optimists’ youth activities, Rev. Nickols praised the club for its sponsorship of numerous youth organizations. “You men,” he said, addressing the guests “built this clubhouse. Now the Optimists’ are building boys.” Among the youth movements backed by the Optimists, he continued, are a boy scout troop, cub pack, baseball and basketball team, and the sox box derby. Introduced by Harwood Larson, the guests including Mavor Charles Pearson, Lem Holtz, who was responsible for raising the money that built the clubhouse, Tex Middleton, Joe McKleid, Two Miles Longer The farmers’ route would add about two miles of distance, but Hell contended that the extra cost of construction, estimated at about two million, would be more than counterbalanced by reduced damage to lands and by more nearly serving the purpose of the new freeway in relieving congestion on the Coast Highway. Supervisor Ralph McFadden of Placenta drew applause from the crowd when he suggested that the commission also consider the added money it would receive by gasoline taxes by reason of the two additional miles. Higher Cost Highway Engineer Paul Harding, however, pointed out that the two extra miles of freeway, carrying 15 thousand vehicles a day, would cost an extra million dollars a year at present and $2,500,000 a year with the increased traffic 20 years hence, the accumulated 20-year cost to transportation being more than $33,000,000. President George E. Kellogg of the Orange county Farm Bureau presented the Highway commission with a resolution opposing the bisecting of valuable ranch property and endorsing the alternate routes proposed by the farmers’ committee. Robert Wardlow, master of the Orange county Pomona County verbally endorsed the farmers’ committee’s stand. Fair Pay Promised The farmers were told by Frank G. Balfour, chief right-of-way agent for the state commission, that all landowners would receive fair compensation, no matter how severely their land might be damaged by the freeway. He estimated that it would be at least nine months to a year before right-of-way negotiations would start. Acting Chairman Baker of the Highway commission said it would depend upon appropriations by the legislature when construction would start, but that the freeway probably will not be built for several years.

Scientists Find Influenza Vaccine UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. — The United Nations said day that world health organization scientists believe there found a preventive vaccine will wipe out influenza. The UN said these studies hoped that by 1954 the socalled influenza would be co-mastered and as rare as plague. The new serum—not yet able in large quantities evolved by scientists worked 55 laboratories in 44 countries der the supervision of M Geneva,' Switzerland and the influenza center in London. North Korea Battles Eighth Army Commander Inspects ROKs SAN, Korea (P)—Lt. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, incoming commander of the Eighth army, told South Korean soldiers Thursday to "prepare for bigger battles in the north." "I'll be there to see you," he said in an address to Korean artillery officers at the big service school at Kwangju. He did not elaborate. Taylor, who will succeed Gen. James A. Van Fleet Feb. 11 as United Nations commander in Korea, is on a three-day inspection tour of south Korean supply and training areas. Stepping in front of the startled training class, Taylor made a brief address that was interpreted by men. Paik Sun Yup, chief of staff of the Korean army.

Taylor's question indicated he seemed to be particularly concerned with the training of battalion and regimental commanders and regimental and division staff officers. He also was concerned with shortages of equipment and experienced leaders. "I am impressed with what I have seen," he said at Kwangju, it seems extremely thorough." Restaurant Meal Price Controls To Go First WASHINGTON (AP) — The government Thursday gave top priority to lifting federal price curbs on restaurant meals at the outset of an expected flood of decontrol orders. Officials said an order will probably be issued Friday ending price controls on meals served in half a million restaurants and other eating places from coast to coast. Autos Decontrolled Officials declined to speculate on what effect the order might have on restaurant prices. The industry does a 12 billion dollar business annually. Earlier Thursday, the government scrapped price controls on an estimated 17,800,000 autos of pre-1946 vintage in the first major decontrol action since President Eisenhower said he wants wage-controls to die.

Six Nations Assist in Rescuing Stranded Dutch AMSTERDAM (JP) — A fleet of vessels under six flags, aided by a swarm of helicopters, rescued 3000 marooned Dutch islanders Thursday from the North Sea floods harassing Holland, England and Belgium. The operation on Goeree-Overflakke Island, in the heart of the flooded Dutch lowlands southwest of Rotterdam, was the dramatic highlight of a day that saw the rescue phase largely completed even as the three-nation death toll mounted to 1889. 3000 Reward Sea-going craft of the United States, Britain, France, Belgium, West Germany and Holland join Courthouse Annex Grounds Paved For Parking Practical needs continued to crowd aesthetic considerations out of the county courthouse scene today, as another large bite was taken out of the beautiful grounds of the courthouse annex, for off-street parking. Lawn and trees made way for black-top pavement area completed today, which doubled the parking capacity of the grounds. Twenty-five new parking stalls were added. Except for three reserved for county departments, all of the parking space there is for the public having business at the courthouse. The parking is limited to one hour. While removing grass and trees in the way of the new parking strip, county workers also removed an old landmark palm tree, one of the oldest and tallest of its kind in Santa Ana. It was not in the way of the parking expansion, but its trunk had rotted badly at a point about 30 feet from the ground and the tree was considered a menace to public safety. Fiften hundred of these refugees—men, women and children—had spent four horror-filled nights on a section of dike that threatened to dissolve into the sea at any moment. Small boats and helicopters worked as guides and auxiliaries in assembling the refugees and speeding them to warmth, food and shelter. Gale Still Blowing The rescue fleet started its work in the night even as a North Sea gale churned up fresh trouble for some coastal dwellers and threatened a sharp expansion of economic losses already totalling millions of dollars. Tides driven by 50-mile-an-hour winds gouged several new holes in Holland's dikes. There was a fresh break in the Belgian dikes at Lillo, near Antwerp, and the last road between those two cities was submerged. Debris of Sunday's storm—furniture, timber, books, mattresses—was flung back on England's shore. British fears, however, that the Ouse river would flood, proved groundless. The river banks held under the pounding of currents five feet above normal. Winds Shift Seaward The night storm laced with rain, sleet and snow, spared battered Goersee-Overflakke. The winds bearing down from the northwest shifted seaward, leaving the area relatively calm. Maj. Vernon Poynter of Wichita, Kansas, chief of U.S. helicopter rescue operations, said flights over the old Tonge dike Autos Decontrolled Officials declined to speculate on what effect the order might have on restaurant prices. The industry does a 12 billion dollar business annually. Earlier Thursday, the government scrapped price controls on an estimated 17,800,000 autos of pre-1946 vintage in the first major decontrol action since President Eisenhower said he wants wage-price controls to die. The immediate future of wage controls remained up in the air. Labor Talks Set The White House announced that Eisenhower will meet Friday with CIO President Walter Reuther and David J. McDonald, acting president of the CIO Steelworkers Union — presumably to discuss wage curbs. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty told newsmen that Reuther and McDonald had asked to see the President, and that Eisenhower replied, "of course." The announcement came a few hours after Reuther disclosed he had urged the Eisenhower administration to order an immediate end to all wage controls. Scientists Find Influenza Vaccine UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. U.P. — The United Nations said Tuesday that world health organization scientists believe they have found a preventive vaccine which will wipe out influenza. The UN said these scientists hoped that by 1954 the source of influenza would be completely mastered and as rare as bubonic plague. The new serum—not yet available in large quantities—was involved by scientists working in 35 laboratories in 44 countries under the supervision of WHO in Geneva, Switzerland and the world influenza center in London. 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. Johnny Appleseed Was a Good Boy By Rev. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church Every school boy and girl heard the story of Johnny Appleseed, who went about with apple seeds in his pockets, making holes in the ground with his bare feet, and planting the seeds which would develop and produce apples for later comers into the Ohio River Valley. Many of you who have come from the Ohio Valley have eaten apples from the trees from those seeds. Johnny was a good-hearted, common boy who whistled at a task in which others would benefit. He probably wouldn't live to see the trees develop, and it was certain he couldn't go around and pick all the apples. So what! Wouldn't some of the early settlers be happy to find trees bearing apples already and all they had to do was to pick and eat them? The habit of kindness practised in a quiet and continuous manner will gladden the hungry lives of those about us who know no joy. Shame on us—if we have to be paid to do little tasks unless we benefit directly from them even though others may be helped along life's pathway!
