SAN BERNARDINO DAILY SUN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, fAliE FIVE CERNEY TELLS BU GET City Will Continue to Prosecute Liquor Cases Economic Revamping to Follow Slump Steffens i SIGNS PHUruSED FOR Ill OWNERS TO Hi FACE COURT CHARGE OFFICERS ROW HE KILLED IE INTERSECTIONS dicted the dawn of dictatorship in America, but not a dictatorship of government, rather one achieved through business combinations. He advocated the scrapping of antitrust laws, terming them "prohibition laws," as steps needed to keep jury. It was reported that the jury stood 8 to 4 in favor of an acquittal when it was dismissed. Attorney Theodore G. Krumm, representing Ford, asked for a dismissal of the case, but his motion was denied.

Ford was arrested following a police raid on the Campus way residence, where a large quantity of asserted fancy liquors was found. Officers also found a care? index file containing the names of many prominent residents of San Bernardino and vicinity, Indicating that "society bootlegger" supplied liquor to a select group of clients. Because of the vote repealing the Wright act, there was some doubt whether Ford would be retried. However, City Attorney Guthrie advised Judge Van Luven that until the repeal becomes effective, all liquor cases will be prosecuted. The repeal becomes effective late in December.

What action will be taken after that is problematical, Mr. Guthrie declared. Confidence In America's eventual mastery of the depression in business, coupled with the thought that considerable Industrial and economic revamping will be needed for the permanent elimination of similar lean periods, was expressed yesterday by Lincoln Steffens in an address before the San Bernardino Klwanis club. In response to questions from club members, Mr. Steffens further explained his theory that America will first emerge and will emerge In better shape from current setbacks than will the European nations that are resorting to governmental dictatorships.

The internationally known lecturer and author, who is a native Californian, presented word sketches of European leaders; Sta lin, a dictator but a dictator limited by a rigid plan; Mussolini, a dictator free to change his plan at will; Hitler, a little man, despised by business but followed because of his hold upon the masses.

City Attorney William Guthrie announced yesterday there will be no let-down in the prosecution of liquor cases in San Bernardino until the repeal of the Wright act has become effective. "As long as the evidence in the case is sufficient to warrant prosecution for Wright act violation it will be taken into court," Mr. Guthrie stated. His decision follows a thorough study of the situation growing out of the recent vote of the people of California to repeal the Wright act. But one liquor case is pending at present in the city police court.

That is the one involving San Bernardino's alleged "society bootlegger," Louis Ford, alias Louis Claus, of 871 Campus way. Ford's trial was set yesterday by Police Judge Donald E. Van Luven for Dec. 13 at 10 a. m.

Ford was tried on a charge of possession of liquor several weeks ago, but the case resulted in a hung 'Lookout' for Purse Thief Asks Leniency Confessing to Superior Judge C. L.

Shaw Co. 468 Fifth Street, Zoning Board to Suggest Move To Eliminate Protest! on Traffic Stop Rule Curtailment of the use of boulevard "stop" signs, and introduction into general use of new "caution" signs will be advocated by the San Bernardino planning commission at the next meeting of the mayor and council, according to President William H. Reed. The recommendation Is being made pending a study of the city's system of "stop" signs, at the request of the mayor and council. Because of conflicting demands for placing of these signals at various intersections, the councilmen have become involved in a maze of confusion as to the selection of "dangerous" intersections.

Intersection Stop Rule Protested In an effort to straighten out the situation the council has decided to place no more of the "stop" signs, except upon recommendation of the roning board. In numerous instances these warning posts are no sooner erected, than a group opposed to those who obtained the sign appears before the mayor and council to argue why the sign should be removed. Pending a comprehensive investigation into the traffic situation, and a determination as to avenues and Intersections that it may be desirable to protect with "stop" signs, the planning commission proposes to experiment with the new "caution" signs. These will be recommended for use in protecting the flow of traffic along main arteries, to warn cross-street motorists that they are entering heavily travelled avenues, according to Mr. Reed.

Arrowhead avenue has been selected for the first trial of the "caution" signals. The mayor and council will be asked to install the new markers on both sides of Arrowhead from the Fourth to Eleventh street Intersections inclusive. Move Designed to Warn Motorists The announced objective of the commission Is designed to expedite the movement of traffic through intersections, and at the same time Insure public safety. Motorists will be warned that they are entering a main traffic artery, but will be free to cross, without first coming to a complete halt, provided" they arrive at the intersection when there is a clear passage through the main artery. With "stop" signs in use, the motorist is forced to stop his ma-shine, and often miss.

a chance to aafely cross the boulevard, and Is then forced to dodge through a heavy burst of traffic when he does enter the interestcion, the planners claim. If the propram of the commission Is adopted and. proves satisfactory, the use of boulevard "stop" signs will be limited to intersections having particularly serious traffic hazards, President Reed said. Boulevard "stop" signs are protected By state laws, that require motorists to halt their machines before entering Intersections marked with the striped posts and diamond-shaped white and black signs.
