LA Gang Members Taken In Shooting Six men have been arrested in an Anaheim police dragnet that followed the cracking of the 14-month-old gangland-style slaying of club operator Leslie Simpson. Police Chief Mark Stephenson said that a seventh suspect is being sought and “there may be even more arrests.” Still being sought is Ralph Wesley Johnson, 30, whose last known address was Los Angeles.

The Colonists were beaten, 46-39, by Long Beach Poly High School in the championship game of the CIF Basketball Playoffs at Los Angeles State College Saturday night. But it took an inspired performance by the favored Long Beach team to turn back the Anaheim club which previously had won 21 straight victories. The Colonists kept the pressure on the Jackrabbits throughout the game and tied the bigger Long Beach club 28-28 midway through the third quarter. But Poly spurt (Continued on Page 2-A) The telephone rang and rang. And out of the avalanche of telephone calls County Assessor Hugh J. Plumb learned another lesson: people just plain have troubles with new forms. Most of the allers were seeking clarification of a new personal property assessment form mailed property owners by the tax man. Most of the callers were seeking around a conflict over dates in filing the property assessment form and a veterans exemption form contained on the same application. "We are asking taxpayers to retract the property assessment within 10 days," said Plumb, "but veterans have until the first Monday in May to file." The idea of putting both forms on one piece of paper came from experts—hired by the county to look for efficiency — "to conserve time and money," said Plumb. It's simple — added the harassed Mr. Plumb — those who do not qualify as veterans don't need to give any attention to the back of the form. "ANOTHER question asked over and over concerns autos as personal property. There is no need to list any automobiles owned, since they are taxed through motor vehicles department," Plumb. Hobby equipment (noted on form) applies only to such as a home workshop and large projects. It does not such smaller items as car golf clubs and the like which "part of personal householderty." Is that clear? Many of the questionnaires Plumb, could be answered closer scrutiny of the four householders. Plumb isn't feeling too bad the volume of queries. "After all," he said, "forms were mailed." Square Dance Class Swing your partner.

Crime's Face Reconstructed Local Lawmen Become Police Artists, Master Use of Revolutionary ID Kit Four local officers are police artists now—and they don't need a drawing pad or The officers, Donald Nutt, R.

Local Lawmen Become Police Artists, Master Use of Revolutionary ID Kit Four local officers are police artists now—and they don’t need a drawing pad or pencil. The officers, Donald Nutt, R. A. Zippel, Michael A. Winney and Don H. Black have completed a course of instruction in the use of the Identi-Kit, a revolutionary device that allows police investigators to re-construct the face of a criminal suspect from a description of witnesses minutes after a crime has been committed. The four Anaheim officers are among the first investigators in the nation accredited to use the Identi-Kit. The Identi-Kit System, newest weapon in the continuing war against crime, is a system of visual identification of criminal suspects. A facial likeness is built by the system from a verbal description given by the victim or a witness to a crime. These images can be transmitted by a simple code to other law enforcement agencies by phone, teletype, or written message without necessity of photographic reproduction. Speed of transmission greatly facilitates the apprehension of criminals as soon as possible after the crime. Conclusion of the full-week course of instruction held in Anaheim marks further expansion of multiple department use of the Identi-Kit System by foresighted and progressive law enforcement agencies. Officers Nutt, Zippel, Winney and Blackman were assigned to the school by Chief of Police Mark A. Stevenson of the Anaheim Police Department. The Identi-Kit System is now an integral part of the daily criminal apprehension activities of the Anaheim Police Department. OFFICERS DONALD NUTT (1), R. A. ZIPPEL, M. AEL A. WINNEY and DONALD H. BLACKMAN of Anaheim Police Department receive certificates of graduation as four of the nation’s first qualified operators of the new IDENTI-KIT System of criminal identification.

These are possibilities of a proposal by Anaheim public relations expert George P. Karcher. Karcher, an officer of the Pacific Water Co., forwarded a proposal to award letters for scholastic achievement at both the junior and senior high school levels to Anaheim Union High School District Superintendent Paul Cook. Karcher suggested that the cost of such awards be underwritten by private citizens and not the taxpayer. The idea, he said, developed from a speech before the National Assn. of Secondary School Principals in which Lee A. DuBridge, president of Cal Tech, urged "open, honest intellectual competition through our high schools and colleges." "We always have been perfectly frank about athletic competition, about a boy's ability to make the football or basketball team," Facility To Be Completed In Autumn Ground was broken Wednesday for a $5 million Lutheran hospital here.
