OIL TOOL SERVICE ELECTS OFFICERS Thomas McGrath; Nurse, of Late General, Cross-Examined Today Disclosure of sensational facts, or alleged facts, concerning the part which Thomas McGrath nurse, play-writer and just after the death of the late General Julian O. Royer were promised for this afternoon by Mattison B. Jones of Los Angeles, chief counsel for the contestees in the suit now in progress to have the will admitted to probate. McGrath followed Marie Peraud, housekeeper and one of the chief beneficiaries, when the jury trial opened late yesterday before Superior Judge R. Y. Williams. He is the star witness for the contestants, Mrs. Louis Royer, the widow, and her children and grandchildren. Attorney Richard Melrose, on the other hand, declared privately that McGrath was "shooting straight", had not "double crossed" the interests of the contestants, and that his testimony would gibe completely with statements which he had given the attorney before and after the death of the late General. McGrath was subjected today to a grilling cross examination by Attorney Jones, who tried to prove that he had negotiated to obtain the best possible terms for his testimony, regardless of which side obtained his services. McGrath agreed that Marie Peraud had repeatedly raised the sum offered him, beginning with $1,000 and ending with $5,000. Attorneys for the contestees said repeatedly that they would show $10,- had been offered him. McGrath, however, refused all offers, and declared as did the contestants' attorneys, that he had been paid only nominal sums to appear in court. "Absolutely", "absolutely not" were the sort of answers which featured McGrath's testimony, showing that whatever alleged wavering may have featured his behavior in the past, his mind was made up and the facts well at his command. Besides Miss Feraud and McGrath, the principal witnesses expected are Dr. Bernard Smith, the principal physician of the late General, and Dr. Clarence G. Toland, another attending physician. These two and Judge Benjamin Bledsoe signed the will or alleged will of the General. The General, formerly of Anaheim and later of Los Angeles, left an estate of approximately $200,000. He had been separated from his wife, and the large share left to Marie Feraud, his housekeeper, was due, according to the alleged will, to her care of him for many years.

SHOW SPACE SHORTLY AT PREMIUM Every Foot of Exhibit Department will be Sold Week Before Show Malcom S. Fraser, manager of the Orange show, announced today virtually every available foot of exhibition space in the show would be contracted for at least a week in advance of the opening day. Local Committee Reeved Because Their Recommendation Ignored Is Santa Ana, "as usual," attempting to run things politically for the whole county? Local members of the Republican County Central committee say this is the situation with respect to the Anaheim postmastership. Sometime ago the central committee voted to ratify the recommendation of local committeemen on postoffice appointments. At the central committee meeting Monday the three local committeemen reported unanimously for the appointment of Vic La Mont. However, certain of the Santa Ana contingent had their minds set on making good Congressman Swing's pre-election promise that Harry Whitaker be made Anaheim postmaster and the matter was held up for two weeks. "We relieved Congressman Swing of his promise when we asked the three candidates for postmaster if they would abide by the decision of the committee and all said they would," said arl Dutton, local committeeman, today. "The Santa Ana committeemen are attempting to dictate who shall be postmaster in Anaheim. I believe we will be able to get a majority of the committee. However, that may not prevent someone from Santa Ana sending a wire to Washington telling Swing to go ahead and make his appointment. "If that happens, there going to be a merry little political wa, here, and don't forget that. D. Jessaruk and Judge J S. Howard backed up Dutton in his analysis of the situation. All agreed that while they had no quarrel with Whitaker, asserting he was a good fellow, they were forced to consider the needs of the fast growing Anaheim postoffice. "We have considered the situation for a long time," said Dutton. "Whitaker is one of my best friends. But it is up to local committeemen to put the Republican party right with local voters. Considering that, we could do nothing but declare that LaMont was the most likely man for the office." SEEK RUNAWAY NEWPORT GIRLS Search is being made today by Sheriff Sam Jernigan and the police of Los Angeles, San Diego and Long Beach for three girls who ran away from Newport Beach. According to the report to the Sheriff all three are "very wild." A boy by the name of Speed took them into his auto and they sped away. JAMESON BRINGS IN 1500-BARREL WELL The feature of the week at Huntington Beach was the bringing in of a 1500 barrel well by the Jameson Oil Company on the Linoleum property. Linoleum No. 1 in the top zone failed to make much of an oil producer, but drilled to 4711 sprung a real surprise. The Jameson Oil Company has made one of the best records of any of the smaller oil companies at Huntington Beach, and now that it is just getting under way with its deep development some big things can be expected of the little company. E. G. Lewis continues to make good progress drilling his deep test well in the southeast section of the Huntington Beach field. The well taken over by Lewis was formerly known as the General Petroleum's Community No. 1. Drilling is now at 4800 feet and while the showings are not strong they are encouraging. Just as the Jaggers Oil Company was getting some nice oil showings at 4900 feet pipe trouble developed. The Jaggers Oil Company is better known now as the Down East Oil Company and is under the supervision and management of some old heads at the game. Montebello's West Extension well, H. L. Whiston's Bicknell No. 1 is underway and making good drilling progress. Soon after spudding some very hard formation was struck and for some 750 feet slow progress was made on that account. The tallest oil derrick in the world is functioning perfectly. The program calls for a deep test well and judging by the way things are starting off the well will make a record for time, depth and discovery. The Petroleum Midway drilled two wells on the Bicknell property some years ago, but according to present day drilling standards they were not deep enough to be considered test wells by any means. The Union Oil Company's deep test well, La Merced No. 25, at 4947 feet on which so much has been banked for the opening of a new deep sand for the Montebello field is stuck with a serious fishing job. Pipe trouble has developed to such an extent that there is some unease. Every Foot of Exhibit Department will be Sold Week Before Show Malcom S. Fraser, manager of the Orange show, announced today that virtually every available foot of exhibition space in the show would be contracted for at least a week in advance of the opening day.
