(Republic Photo) At Boys School A supervisor carried a gun on hikes with boys, and another em ploye slapped his charges on the face with his hand, according to testimony Saturday in the Fort Grant hearing before Superior Judge Fred Struckmeyer Jr.

James Moyer, supervisor and em ploye of the Arizona Industrial School for -Boys at Fort Grant about six years, told the court he "carried a revolver sqmetimes" while taking groups of boys on en forced marches. He denied he had the weapon in his possession as a threat to keep the marchers from running away. Moyer described the hikes the boys were forced to take back to the school after their escape. In one of the groups three boys were handcuffed together because Moyer claimed "they had planned to escape." NONE OF THE boys was in. a weakened condition after he returned from the "six or seven mile" hike, Moyer testified.

On the contrary, he continued, most of them appeared to be in good spirits, and in one instance "two of them sprinted the remaining distance to the school." Only on one occasion had he whipped a boy with a fan belt, for calling a dirty Moyer said. He testified he had caught the boy smoking in his room. Rudolph Ramirez, 25, who left the employ of the school last January, said he had slapped boys "several times in the face with my open hand," adding that Supt. George R. Ridgway had instructed me not to inflict such punishment." "I ONLY REPORTED one of the incidents to Ridgway," said Ramirez.

Under cross examination by John J. Flynn, deputy county attorney, the former employe said he failed to report the other instances because "it would affect their (boys') records and I didn't want them to stay there (at the school) longer than necessary." He said he had been told by the superintendent to "keep the boys in line" and he assumed he could use his own judgment in the type of punishment he used. Ramirez said he found a black jack in one of the dormitories and carried it with me a week be cause a group of boys had threatened to get him. He denied hitting anyone with it ALBERT ALLEN, electrician since Ridgway took over April 1, 1951, testified one of the boys caused a short circuit in the plant's electrical system when he tried to light a cigarette from a light socket. He said he "cut the light off the for 30 days.

Allen named one boy specifically (out of two who shared the room), but admitted under questioning that either one could have been to blame. T. J. Quinn, detail officer, admitted he and Allen had "taken turns" swatting two boys with a fan belt. Obituaries For Honey Bees A cheerful outlook for Arizona honey producers was reflected in remarks of members at the annual meeting of the Arizona Beekeepers Association in the YMCA building Saturday.

Thomas Smith, Yuma, was elected to succeed Glen Blair as president The other officers elected are William U. Blair, vice-presi dent; Clarence L. Benson, re-elect ed secretary, and A. H. Kenson, treasurer, all of Phoenix.

The di rectors are Paul Grant and Miles Wedgworth, Phoenix; Elmer Hastings and Joe Stewart, Mesa; Cress Bayless, Glendale; George Morris, Safford, and Glen Blair. Winter rains assure better than average blooms along the desert washes, where catclaw, mesquite and other flowers furnish the early nectar for bees. Farmers producing alfalfa seed will rent more and more stands of bees to ensure heavier yields. Tests have shown the honey bee is a useful agent in the pollinization of cantaloupe opening another source of income to the beekeeper. The cantaloupe research report was submitted by S.

E. McGregor, of the Southwest Bee Laboratory, operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Tucson. His research disclosed more melons for the crown and second sets on the vines, as well as better shapes where there is an ample supply of bees crawling over the blooms for pollen and nectar.

m. )'T Jr HI' Ill 1 MtlllljllfciWW This year' Easter Seal appeal in Maricopa County will be headed for the fourth year by Wiliam T. Garland, of 1640 W. Whitton. The appeal to aid crippled chil dren will be con- in ducted through- out the nation March 13 through Easter i 4 Sunday.

Mari- J- copa county goal is $40,000, same as last last year. Garland, assistant manager of the Consolidated Western Steel Corporation fab- Garland ricating plant in Phoenix, has been a director of the Maricopa County Society for Crip pled Children six years. THE SOCIETY'S work among crippled or handicapped children of all colors and creeds is limited only by finances, Garland said. Assistance falls into three major categories. One is treatment of cerebral palsied children.

Services include physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and preschool education. Another program is aimed at teaching deaf youngsters to speak. THIRD PROGRAM is the conducting of diagnostic clinics for children in regular public schools iMfc JWwn i Li I 1 4 foreign relations committee, of which he is chairma-i, he may demand substantial cuts.

FREE TANKERS WASHINGTON The Maritime Administration is said to be working on a scheme to induce private shipping lines to build .15 or 20 new super-speed, super-capacity tankers with none of the usual aidfrom the taxpayers. The idea: Tankers can't be sold to foreign countries without MA censent. The MA would give its consent to the sale of slow and inefficient Liberty ships and war built tankers to foreign countries if each company agreed to get new vessels built without subsidy or teaerai aid. DONE WITH MACHINES WASHINGTON Most federal income tax refunds will be mailed a to two months earlier than usual this year.

AVIATION NOTES WASHINGTON The Airport Operators Council has started a campaign to get congress to appropriate 100 million dollars a year to match local funds for construction of new airport facilities. The airports got only $28,700,000 from the federal government last year. The National Production Authority has decided to give several forms of special assistance immediately to aircraft component producers to speed up the building or airplanes. s.

The woman admitted going for the ride, but said she didn't rob the two.sailorsv Police said accepted her version of the' incident WASHINGTON, March 1 (UP) A special committee cm commu-' nism iet up by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce reported Saturday that the American Communist Party has been stripped to 35,000 "hard-core" members and that "fellow-travelers and dupes' have been "disillusioned or frightened away in droves." Less than two weeks ago, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said there were 54,000 card-carrying Communists in the United States and about 540.000 potentially dangerous fellow-travelers.

The chamber of commerce made Its estimate in a 55-page report on "Communism: Where Do We Stand Today?" The report castigated the state department for mishandling this country's foreign relations and losing world confidence in America's, leadership. THE REPORT said that there has been an "indiscriminate emphasis upon Communist penetra tion of the department of state" which is a "debatable and difficult charge" to prove. It said this has caused "neglect of the more easily proved Issue of incompetence. The report said that "it is diffi cult to draw the line between treason and blundering on the part of certain individuals in our government" as far as Far Eastern policy is concerned. In reporting the "drastic shrinkage" in Communist Party membership and the numbers of fellow-travelers, the chamber warned against over-optimism in the battle against subversion.

TT IS NOT YET time for complacency," the report said. "It cannot be ignored that we have in our midst several hundred thousand former Communist Party members." The report said that only a minority of these are known "to have made a complete switch and are (now) thoroughly loyal." Still fewer have become "strong anti-Communist fighters," the report added. "It would be premature to rejoice in this shrinkage as if the fight were over," the report said. "The hard core of fanatical Communists has been fighting back with tenacity and skill. IN ITS criticism of the state department, the report said that the department's defense of its actions has often "insulted American intelligence.

In some cases we were far too slow in acting; hi others our intervention was precipitate and ill-considered. To often our welfare abroad was sacrificed to obtain partisan political advantages at home." The chamber described American intervention in the Korean war as "a bloody aftermath to a blunder." "FIRST WE invited Red aggression by proclaiming our disinterest in Korea. Then we reacted by un-. declared war." The committee warned that in the present war of attrition Russia may win the war "without committing her own nationals or depleting her natural resources." The report said that other nations have been disturbed by the inconsistency of U.S. foreign policy.

One such case was the "abrupt switch from 'appeasement' to 'containment of Russia in 1947," the committee said. It does not help America's world position, the report added, to have the same officials now "second-guessing" on the new policy. Farmland Sale Over $50,000 Sale of 120 acres of cultivated Paradise Valley land by Fred Bowers to Fowler and Anne McCor-mick for "well in excess of 000," was disclosed Saturday by Emmett Graham, Scottsdale, who Handled the deal. The" land is a portion of the Bowers ranch, one of the first homesteaded in the valley. It is all under cultivation and was in cot ton last year.

Fred Bowers represented several heirs to the Bowers estate in the transaction. Contrary to what practically everyone else acquiring local farm land is planning to do this spring, McCormick, former- chairman of the board. International Harvester Company, will take the land out of cotton and plant it in alfalfa. He and Mrs. McCormick are national ly known as breeders of registered Black Angus cattle.

The stock will use most bf the feed grown. The McCormick ranch holdings are the largest in Paradise Valley and include both' cultivated land with overhead sprinkling system irrigation, and range. Graham, head of the Graham Com pany. Friday announced the 51 million sale of the Bert Campbell ranch in Pinal County to M. H.

and Roth, 34, 3844 E. Indian School were taken to Memorial Hospital. They received minor injuries. Driver of the bus, Ervin Winsor, Train, retired, here to talk as commander in chief of the Military Order of the World Wars. "When there is even-a danger of Communist aggression we Amer icans should use every means to suppress it," the admiral said.

"Even though, at times," he added, 'it might mean the use of armed forces." ADMIRAL TRAIN, an old salt who has spent most of his life at sea, talked -Saturday night at an MOOWW banquet at the RONS Club. "I'm here to further the aims and objectives of our order," the admiral said. "To convince Americans they should use every method to always maintain law and order and to risk their lives in defending the honor, integrity, and su premacy of our national govern ment." The former battleship com mander said the government did the right thing when it stepped into the Korean conflict. "I THINK when we jumped into Korea in 1950," he said, "we did the only thing possible to convince the world that we meant business when we said we'd stop aggression, at any cost. Most persons call the Korean war a conflict but I lable it a full-fledged war." The retired admiral would not make any political comment.

"The MOOWW is a non-political organization interested, mainly in taking steps to promote a consistent and suitable military and naval policy for the United States," he explained. This is the second Phoenix visit for the admiral and his wife. They were last here in 1932. ADMIRAL TRAIN, 65, was commissioned in 1909 at Annapolis, where he now has a home. After commanding everything from a destroyer to a battleship, Admiral Train was assigned to the Arizona in 1940.

He was serving as chief of staff of a battle force and was aboard the USS California when his ship was sent to the bottom by Jap bombs. In 1943-44, he was commander, of the Panama sea frontier, 15th Naval District and commander of the South East Pacific Force. He retired May 1, 1946. Admiral Train will visit 30 chapters of the MOOWW 'before returning to Annapolis. HE AS ELECTED junior vice-commander of' the order at the San Francisco national convention in 1949, senior vice-commander at Swampscott, In 1950, and commander at the Philadelphia convention Oct 23, 1951.

"V7 Lto LKJ A. All Mrs. Harriett M. Sprague, 809 Arizonan 31 Years, Succumbs Some policy making officials of the state department are wishing congress would ease the policy requirements which other nations must meet to receive U.S. military assistance.

The stipulation in military aid legislation that to receive help a nation must state flatly it is on side of the western powers in the struggle against the Soviets is em barrassing some friendly govern ments, they say. This might make it impossible for the administration to strengthen some weaker nations which are in strategic locations. Only one nation, Iran, has def initely turned down U.S. offers of military assistance, according to state and defense department spokesmen. Premier Mossadegh has not been unfriendly to the Western cause, but he said he could not sign up definitely as a Western ally.

The Indonesian government, which did sign such an agreement, fell immediately because of it. It it not known what the fate of that agreement will be when a new government is formed. Indonesia as a whole has been thoroughly friend ly and co-operative with United States policies! but there was strong opposition to baldly lining up with the West against Russia. Negotiations for a military aid pact with Mexico have been "temporarily suspended due to conditions beyond our control," said administration officials. They ex plained only that they hoped ne gotiations would be resumed after the Mexican presidential elections this summer.

Negotiations now are being dis cussed with Chile, Colombia, Bra zil and Cuba. Congress point of view has been that any nation that wants free U.S. help should be ready to stand up and be counted among the Western allies. It's not likely, state department officials concede. that congress will change its mind about this.

RED NAVY AIR WASHINGTON From Russian offiqers in Germany a report has reached hece that the Soviet navy has three aircraft carriers with outrigger structures fore and aft to lengthen the landing and take off run. The report adds that on their carriers the Soviets use a deck-landing-version of the MIG- 15 with folding wings and arrester gear. CAUGHT UP? WASHINGTON Defense ex perts are becoming more and more doubtful about the need for any further expansion of the alum inum industry. Some of them believe that when plants now being completed begin to pour out ingots in big volume later this year, there will be enough aluminum. Many firms now have large stocks of aluminum, they believe, and won't be' buying- as much this spring as the government has al lotted them.

The uproar set off last fall by Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson when he suggested moving aluminum plants, out of the Northwest be cause of the power shortage, frightened many companies into panic buying. Some even import ed aluminum from Italy.
