Death trap pit near river bank filled for safety
A pit on the west bank of the San Gabriel River near Del Amo Street, where a 10 year old boy drowned on February 3, has been filled under the Kathy Fiscus Law. Clark Searle chairs the Lakewood Taxpayers Association committee enforcing filling or fencing. Owner Loy L. Smith, 1851 Lime Ave Long Beach, faced charges for failing to fence or fill since July 1950. A jury trial is set for May 4 in Signal Hill Justice Court with Judge Roberta Butzbach presiding. The rule requires sloped banks or fencing if 20 or more residents live within half a mile.

Douglas Seconded Truman Korea View
Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois told a Los Angeles Jefferson‑Jackson Day audience that Formosa must not be handed to Red China and the Chinese Communists must be kept from the United Nations. He rejected MacArthur’s China bombing plan, urged veto power to keep Red China out of the UN, and warned war could be almost inevitable without unity and strength.
