New Code Ruling Will Figure in Oral Arguments FONTANA The 1-year-old fcnttiA in neeate proceedings which incorporated five square miles of Fontana into a City wiu mane iu fourth appearance before courts at 10 a.m. Thursday. The Fourth District Court of Appeal, sitting in San Bernardino, will hold a hearing on an" appeal of a judgment handed down by Superior Court Judge Bruce Find-lay upholding the City of Fontana's contesting stand on the matter. Oral arguments on the appeal will be made by Atty.

Thomas Eckhardt. retained by E. A. Bohn and Genevieve Bohn who filed the disincorporation petition, and by Henry Rager, attorney for the City of Fontana which is named as respondent. CODE CHANGE Eckhardt said his clients feel more certain than ever that the contention on the issue is correct due to a piece of legislation passed in the last legislative session which came about as a direct result of the Fontana matter.

The attorney said an addition was made to the Government Code stating that no petition for disin corporation could be circulated within two years of the time ol incorporation. "It means that the legislature recognized the oversight in the previous code and attempted to remedy the situation for future cases," Eckhardt said. NOT RETROACTIVE "However, my clients feel that this new ruling can not be applied retroactively to the Fontana case," he added. "The disincorporation move is based on the former Government Code which did not stipulate any time element after incorporation before disincorporation proceed ings could be started. The City, of Fontana has contested with the Elections Code which carries the two year clause.

STAGE SET The case has been before the Superior Court twice with the City successfully demurring on the sought writ of mandate. In previous appearance before the appeals court, the disincorporation-ists asked a writ of mandate, but filing of a judgment by Judge Find-lay altered the procedure and set the stage for the appeals hearing.

Fellow Workers Show Courage, Quick Thinking WESTEND Reported due largely to the quick thinking and courageous action of several Westend employes, Roosevelt E. Wilson, 37, of Westend is now rapidly recovering from carbon dioxide poisoning which threatened him with death high inside a 50-foot wooden tank Tuesday afternoon. Wilson and Marion Harris were both repairing the inside structure of the tank (known as a scrubber) when Harris recognized the preliminary symptoms of gas poisoning. Scrambling to get out, he looked back and realized that Wilson was in a state of semi-consciousness and had failed to respond to the warning. "Harris deserves a lot of credit, for' he returned to the overcome man to tie him to the inside structure of the tank, thus preventing him from falling the 30 feet or so to the bottom," said a West End Chemical Corp.

official. FARM RESCUE SQUAD While the alarm was spread to the security police at Trona, shortly after 2 p.m., five other men formed a rescue squad, and in shifts of minutes went down into the tank to tie Wilson to something that would enable them to pull him up and out. The men who voluntarily went into the gas-heavy area were Lloyd Russell, Sol Wexler, Rudi Kraut, Vance Grissom, and Joseph Bailey. Also helping from the top of the tank were Homer Lee and Tom Sheehy. Others served by pumping fresh air into the tower.

Just as Wilson was raised to the top of the tank. Chief Lex Rascoe arrived with the Trona peace officer and the ambulance, and proceeded to use the resusci- tator on Wilson. When he began to breathe well they took him to the Trona Hospital continuing to give oxygen on the way. A hospital authority early Wednesday morning said he "much improved."
