Hallowe’en Chairmen Begin Plans For Anaheim’s 1953 Extravaganza Keynoted by the new 1953 Hallowe’en theme "Out of This World," the Hallowe’en enthusiasts met, as guests of the general chairman, Bob Wurgaft, last night at the Savoy restaurant.

The union seeks designation as sole bargaining agent for the affected employees. During the hearing an interest was asserted by the United Auto Workers of America, an international labor organization of the American Federation of Labor, and a second intervenor appeared shortly afterward, asserting the interest of the International Association of Machinists, A.F. of L. During testimony company representatives maintained that the petitioning union was not the proper bargaining agent for Northrop - Anaheim’s production and maintenance employees. Northrop representatives declared precision optical range finder production requires complete inter-Weather Southern California — Local fog along coast Sunday morning otherwise mostly sunny with variable high cloudiness Sunday. Monday mostly clear except early morning fog locally along south coast; windy northern mountains and interior Sunday Three Anaheim Youths Booked For Grand Theft Three Anaheim youths, ranging in ages from 13 to 15, were arrested by police last night for suspicion of grand theft after they were recognized rifling juke boxes at the Hula Hut drive-in yesterday morning by Police Sgt. Alton Hoxie. The majority of the stolen money, and several items stolen from a trailer Jan. 18, were recovered by police at the home of two boys, who were brothers; $2 in nickels had been buried in back yard. According to police, the three confessed to breaking coin boxes using a screwdriver at the Hula Hut, Lemon and Los Angeles three times, and once at the Palma drive-in, Los Angeles at La Palma sts. They also hit coke machines at Dewitt service station, O’Press and Los Angeles sts., Bear’s service station, Center at West sts., and a service station at La Palma and Los Angeles sts., police said, in addition to burglarizing the trailer. The youths stole approximately $10 each time they robbed drive-ins, but only netted 50 cents to $2 from the service stations. After booking, they were sent to the county juvenile home. ROK Army to be Divisions, General TOKYO (P)-UN command Gen Mark Clark today (Sunday) said authority has been received from the Department of the Army to increase the Republic of Korea army from 12 divisions to 14. We appropriate supporting units. Clark’s announcement, released simultaneously at Seoul, said Gareth British Labor Paper Declares Ike Has Caused British-American Crisis LONDON (UK)—The mass circulation Sunday Pictorial said Saturday night in a front page editorial offered as a pro-Laborite open letter that President Eisenhower's first 19 days in office "have been disastrous" and 'have caused a crisis between Britain and the United States." The Pictorial claims more than 5,000,000 circulointa 5,000,000 circulation. In the letter addressed to Eisenhower under a black headline reading "Think Again Ike," the Pictorial claimed Eisenhower's first days: "Have heightened the danger of World war III." "Have lost the western democracies the sympathy of millions of people in Asia." British Brushed Aside It gave these reasons: 1. Without proper consultation, brushing aside British protests, you have decided to let Chiang Kai-shek out of his political cage on Formosa. You have given him the all clear for attacks on the Chinese mainland. "American arms and advisers will now help to try to restore this rotten dictator. At best, this will be a military flop. At worst, it may extend the Korean war. 2. Formosa was only the first step. Latest news from Washington makes it clear you are seriously considering a blockade of the Red Chinese coast. "This would bring America to the verge of all-out war with China. It would lead to new trouble with Russia. It would further alienate India. It would end hopes of a truce in Korea. Tension Feared "And it could mean that British ships bound for Hong Kong would be challenged on the high seas. Are you prepared to risk such tension? 3. Your traveling salesman for the big stick, Mr. John-Foster Dulles, has been visiting Europe. His talk has been not that of a friend and partner, but that of a boss." It went on to say: "We will not be dragged into a war with China. We will not be pushed along a road that makes another world war more likely." DO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 6, 1953 5 Cents per Copy 50 Cents per Month No. 332 linked to Grand Probe Chief Hershey Refuses to Reveal Whether Four Suspended Officers Involved in Bookie Evidence Case Dismissal of one Santa Ana police officer and suspension of three others, with disciplinary action against a fifth officer deferred because of his military leave, as announced over the weekend by Chief of Police B. A. Hershey of Santa Ana, will have no bearing on the county grand jury probe of the department, according to Foreman Jack Sargent of Santa Ana. Whether Chief Hershey's discharge of a probationary patrolman, Leroy Sharkey, and suspension of Patrolmen V. V. Adams and Richard Pemberton, and Motorcycle Officer Harrell Davis, was related to the grand jury investigation of "bookie" evidence disappearance from a police department locker, Hershey did not disclose. He said that charges of insubordination would be filed with the city civil service board against the three suspended officers, but would not elaborate further. Nor would he say whether the four officers were the same four who were given lie detector tests during last week in connection with the probe of missing evidence. Fair Exchange There's an old saw that says, "You get what you for." It's true of most things we come in contact within life, but did you ever think that it's also true of Anaheim youth? We spend money for a thousand things to rear children to be assets to the community, the church, the tion, to ourselves—and to themselves, too. And, by large, Anaheim youngsters bid fair to do very satisfactory. One big factor in their development, aside from trail at home and in our schools, is the program of activities up and supervised by the local YMCA under the guidance K Army to be Expanded to 14 Divisions, General Clark Reveals NYO (UP)—U.N. commander Mark Clark today (Sunday) authority has been received the Department of the Army release the Republic of Korea from 12 divisions to 14, with private supporting units. K's announcement, released unannually at Seoul, said Gen Motorcycle Officer Harrell Davis, was related to the grand jury investigation of "bookie" evidence disappearance from a police department locker, Hershey did not disclose. He said that charges of insubordination would be filed with the city civil service board against the three suspended officers, but would not elaborate further. Nor would he say whether the four officers were the same four who were given lie detector tests during last week in connection with the probe of missing evidence. Fifth on Leave Hershey stated that he did not suspend a fifth officer, Fredrick Hopper at present because Hopper is on military leave, but that action would be taken later. The chief said that other factors were involved in Hopper's case. In the absence of more detailed disclosures by the chief, speculation linked the action against the officers to their recent activity in raiding gambling and bookmaking establishments. Last December, the four raided the Del Mar-club at 313 N. Sycamore st., after Adams discovered a "low ball" poker game in progress there. Sixteen defendants were given suspended fines and placed on probation as a result of this raid. Some time afterward the same four raided a "bingo" establishment on E. Fourth st. and seized a quantity of equipment. They were then involved in the arrest of Mrs. Helen Norma Halsey, 32, Santa Ana housewife, who was charged with felony bookmaking. The evidence against her, including bookie paraphernalia and $677.10 in cash, was placed in the locker at police headquarters. The chief had a master key to all lockers, and the particular locker key was kept at the desk sergeant's desk. A few days later, District Attorney James L. Davis received $676 of the Halsey cash in the mail from Garden Grove. This led to discovery that all evidence was missing from the locker. The felony charge was thus blocked, and Mrs. Halsey next day pleaded charge. City Judge Ronald M. guilty to a misdemeanor lottery Crookshank fined her $400. It's true of most things we come into contact within life, but did you ever think that it's also true of Anaheim youth? We spend money for a thousand things to rear children to be assets to the community, the church, the tion, to ourselves—and to themselves, too. And, by large, Anaheim youngsters bid fair to do very satisfactory one big factor in their development, aside from trail at home and in our schools, is the program of activities up and supervised by the local YMCA under the guidance of Secretary Tommy Thomason. The YMCA program is built around Christian ideal living, learning and doing. While learning new skills-playing hard at various recreational activities, 'Y' members are also learning how to live with each other, disregard differences in race, creed or color. They learn sportship, fair dealing and team effort. It costs money to provide the physical necessities them. YOUR child can take advantage of them when YOU pay for them or not. But, SOMEONE DOES HAT TO PAY FOR THEM!! The YMCA'S annual Fund Roundup is going on and they hope to have the major part of the drive completed tomorrow morning. YOU can help by becoming a member an it costs only what you can afford to give, when it be $1, $5, $10, $50, or $100. Support YOUR YMCA FUND Roundup today! Y' Fund 'Roundup' Past Midpoint As Report Breakfast Set Monday With the final report by workers due tomorrow morning, the Anaheim YMCA's annual Fund Dr. James Conant Off to Germany For Defense Talks WASHINGTON (AP)—Dr. James B. Conant, new high commissioner to west Germany, disclosed Saturday that President Eisenhower has directed him to speed to Germany, where decisions critical to the defense of the western world against communism are soon to be made. The retiring Harvard president, one of the nation's leading scientist-educators and a figure in development of the atomic bomb, was sworn into his new job Saturday. In a statement, Conant made clear that his initial major effort will be to work on the European defense problem. This centers on the question whether Germany and its allies have already passed the dual standing was Mrs. Schmid, who reported 10 men ships and $67. Twenty of the campaign vengers have already passed through K Army to be Expanded to 14 Divisions, General Clark Reveals KYO (P)—U.N. commander Mark Clark today (Sunday) Authority has been received the Department of the Army increase the Republic of Korea from 12 divisions to 14, with separate supporting units. Mark's announcement, released unannounced at Seoul, said Gen. A. Van Fleet, commander U.S. Eighth Army of which forces are a part, has been asked to activate the new division in an early date. Amphitaxed that the order to make the new divisions does not they can be made com- andy in a matter of days or Nor does it mean that U.S. Explosion Deck Cruiser Newport Bay Following an explosion and the 21-foot cruiser, Olive's completely destroyed the 50 boat Friday night in Newport Bay. The cruiser, used as a target to the yacht Paollape, both by Paul Whittier of Los Angeles, burned to the water's edge then sank. Whittier, 18-year-old son of owner, was aboard the Olive's West Seaport-Landing when the collision occurred as he started motor. The flames spread to the stern of the boat. A futile effort to control it with a fire extinguisher, but not until it registered the paint upon an boat. The Olive's Ark drift-back to the landing, and was dragged into the bay. It sank 150 feet from shore. Divisions will be released from front line duty in the immediate future. It was the second authorization to increase ROK forces in four months. Last October authority was received to build up the ROK army from 10 divisions to 12. Two additional divisions will bring the ROK Army to 200,000 soldiers, not counting thousands of Korean service troops. Each ROK infantry division has 14,000 men. The last two divisions are the 12th and 15th. Both have been in combat. BORDEAUX, France (P) — Blinded by for, 14 passengers and seven crewmen cut a 200-yard path through a pine woods Saturday and crashed blazing into a field. Six aboard, a passenger and five crew members, were killed. All but two others were injured. Nine Die in Texas Fire TYLER, Tex. (P)—Nine persons burned to death Saturday night when an unexplained fire swept through a films three-room house on a farm about 11 miles northwest of here. Two were adults and the other seven small children. All were Negroes. There were no witnesses to the fire and no survivors. The flames were discovered by a farmer about 9:30 p.m. He notified the Lindale Fire department. When firemen arrived the house was completely enveloped. There was no chance to save any of the occupants. Officers were unable to determine immediately if all 9 lived in the house or were visiting there. Dive Results in Damage Action Injuries allegedly suffered by David Hawk, 18, of Rosemead, when he dove into shallow water off the rocks of Corona del Mar city and state park last Sept. 1. Were evaluated at $250,000 in a damage suit just filed by the youth and his father, Montie Hawk, against the city of Newport Beach and D. W. Tate. Tate was included as a defendant, as manager of the beach. Young Hawk suffered a broken neck and permanent paralysis of his entire body from neck to feet, the damage complaint stated. The defendants were accused of negligence, the complaint stating that the shallow depth of the water could not be observed from the rocks, and there were no warnings posted nor lifeguards stationed to informed divers of the dangerous conditions. Besides the $250,000 damage claim, the father asked judgment for $2500 for medical expenses and $1000 for hospital costs. The retiring Harvard president, one of the nation's leading scientist-educators and a figure in development of the atomic bomb, was sworn into his new job Saturday. In a statement, Conant made clear that his initial major effort will be to work on the European defense problem. This centers on the question whether Germany and France will approve a treaty to create a European defense force under which west Germany would be rearmed. But while Conant said there must be "continual progress" on defense plans, he declared the German people would have to make their own decisions. Man's Leq Crush In Oil Well Fall O. W.

Rider was taken Hoag Memorial hospital at port Beach. Death of Wage Controls Seen as Signal for Union Drives to Get Pay Boosts WASHINGTON (AP)—The nation drives to recapture pay the eight million member AFLCdy has signaled for such attacks, but many employers are forced to resist the move at until their present labor con- runs out. President Eisenhower's order may ending wage controls gave official okay to all employer-en agreements still waiting for government approval. There were only 10,000 such contracts in an estimated million work-who will not get the contemned pay raises. During the two year period when controls were in effect many proposed boosts in pay and other benefits were denied or partly dis-approved by the wage stabilization board. Out of 125,000 cases handled, the WSB shaved down the terms of more than 20,000 employer-union benefits that the unions now will want to get back. In many cases the labor groups will be stuck with the reductions unless their employers voluntarily agree to waive them, as can be done now that the wage lid has been taken off. Most of the contracts were negotiated for time periods, with stipulations that the gains were subject to government approval. WSB Chairman Charles C. Killingsworth said in a farewell news conference that WSB's lawyers view the stipulations as meaning reductions can be made to fast legally for the life of the contracts. But if balked for the time being at recapturing the gains once forbidden by the wage stabilizers, unions can be depended upon to increase their pay demands by that amount when their present contracts expire. Anaheim’s Shooting Days Gone Forever You can't shoot rifles in Anaheim under state law. Senator Sparkman Demands China Blockade Plans WASHINGTON (AP) — Senator Sparkman (D-Ala.) demanded Saturday that the administration tell congress whether it plans a naval blockade of Red China as Sen. Knowland (R-Callif.) renewed his support of such a move. Sparkman said in an interview he isn't necessarily opposed to a blockade—but he wants to know: 1. If it would be an act of war. 2. If the United States should undertake it alone, and 3. What would be the consequences of such action. Knowland, chairman of the senate Republican policy committee, said he believes the United Nations should institute a blockade to halt shipments of war supplies to the Communists in Korea. He added that the United States would do it alone if other UN nations balked. Rep. Dewey Short (R-Mo.) Anaheim’s Shooting Days Gone Forever You can’t shoot rifles in Anaheim anymore, two 17-year-old Anaheim boys learned sadly yesterday. To their disgust, police confiscated the two 22 rifles which they were shooting into the air, after receiving a report that rifle shots were heard on Cypress st. The boys, however, will recover the guns, but only after a stern lecture on the use of firearms from Police Chief Mark Stephenson. Rep. Dewey Short (R-Mo.), chairman of the house armed services committee, argued in a separate interview that a blockade, “instead of widening and lengthening the war, would shorten and confine it and save lives.” Chairman H. Alexander Smith (R-N.J.) has promised to call Secretary of State Dulles before a senate foreign relations subcommittee for questioning about administration plans as soon as the secretary returns from Europe.

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. By Rev. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church Follow the Leader For several years now the Jantzen children have had trouble with their stomachs and this is how it happened: They were playing the old game of "follow the leader" and the leader, a chap from the city, who should have known better but evidently didn't, chewed up and swallowed several leaves of poison ivy. The Jantzen kids, raised in the country and warned against any contacts with poison ivy, followed suit with dire results: How many of us foolishly follow-the-leader every day! Lest someone may call us "sissy" we too often do the thing that brings on heartache and sorrow, if not illness later on. "Just a little drink won't hurtcha." says a very poor leader, and then the weak one forces the evil-tasting stuff into his stomach which sets up a craving for more. He finally winds up an alcoholic. I visited such a one in Camarillo. His mother attended our Church in Ventura. She was heartbroken. "Won't you visit my boy," she said to me. "He is a good boy, but is easily led." I visited him, telling him that he was breaking his mother's heart. He said, "Preacher, I'm ashamed to have you see me here. Just one little drink with the boys started all this." All kinds of habits are developed by following the leader. Just where will it end? Is the road down or is it an upward highway? Every one, man or woman, boy or girl, follows some leader. May I suggest One Who never disappoints? One Who will not take you to the wrong places, teach you the evil habits? It is the Christ. He went about doing good. They "could find no fault in Him." He said, "I am the door. By me if you would enter in (into His Father's Kingdom, and among His Friends), he shall be saved. ... I am the good Shepherd. (St. John 10:7-14)
