City Officials Join In
Cleanup Week; Urge Full
Citizen Participation

at is easy to imagine how much
we could accomplish in tidying up,
if everyone tackled Clean Up job
and gave two hours minimum time
to complete the task" commented
City Manager Chas. A. Carran.
Suburban school systems, headed
by DR.. o. J. Korb, Superintendent
of the East Cleveland Board of
Education, have distributed to
36,029 elementary pupils colorful
Clean Up Check-chart on which
will be listed the kinds of jobs
undertaken.
Harold L. Green, superintendent
of Waste Disposal announces that
every effort will be made to keep
each days waste cleared from the
curbs, in both the burnable and non
burnable classifications. He re-
quests that newspapers be bundled.
Shrubbery cuttings should be kept
three feet lengths and 20 inches in
bundle circumference to be handled
in the city pickup trucks.
The usual twice a week burnable
pickup of rubbish will continue on
regular schedule. The regular nom
burnable pickup on once month
schedule will start Monday morn
ing, May 9Th and continue until
the city has been completely serv-
iced. The usual time required to
cover the city in this collection is
two weeks, but during the Cleanup
campaign the collection may pro-
ceed more slowly since there may
be more loads to truck away.
From Fred Lange, chief of the
East Cleveland Fire Department
comes the following reminder for
Cleanup Week:
Clean-up--or you may be clean
ed out! That's the warning Of Fire
Chief Fred w. Lange in announc-
ing the annual Spring Cleanup
Drive.
It's a warning well worth heed
ing for it is time to get rid of the
fire hazards which always manage
ito accumulate during the long
winter months.
RUBBISH and preventable fire
go hand-in-hand. That's why we
say: "Clean property-fewer fires.
YOUR chances of having YOUR
fire department pay YOU a visit
are in direct proportion to the
amount of rubbish YOU allow.
RUBBISH may not be the cause
of fire in itself, but it supplies the
fuel for a carelessly discarded
match, cigarette or stray spark.
RUBBISH is not just waste
paper and dirt as so many people
assume. Webster defines rubbish"
as: Anything worthless or value
less" This means that broken down
sofa in the attic >. or Sisters out
grown clothes in the back hall
closet are RUBBISH.
Start today to clean up and you
won't be sorry tomorrow.

u. 5. Wins Fight 10 Gel
Tanker That Figured in
Casey, Morris Probes
BY the Associated Press

Federal Judge Albert Bryan Of
Alexandria District Court today
ruled that the Government is en-
titled to recover the oil tanker
Meacham because it was trans
ferred illegally to a corporation
financed by Chinese aliens.
The Meacham has figured in
two congressional Investigations:
1. An inquiry into millions of
dollars of quick profits from sur
plus Government ship deals by
group headed by former Repre-
sentative Joseph E. Casey, Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts,, and other
prominent men. The Meacham
was one of several ships involved
in Mr.. Casey's complex trans
actions.
2. A probe into the role of New
bold Morris, former special cor
ruption hunter for the Truman
administration, in the story of the
Meacham. Mr.. Morris heads a
foundation which owns the Mea-
cham, through subsidiary firms.
He has denounced the Govern
ment repossession suit.
Judge Bryan ruled that because
Mr.. Casey's group had trans
ferred the ship to control of Chi
nese aliens, the former surplus
tanker can be reclaimed by the
Government.
The Meacham was sold by the
Maritime Commission in 1948 to
the Casey group. Later it was
transferred to a succession Of
companies linked with the China
International Foundation, headed
by Mr.. Morris.
The Government contended the
vessel in effect was financed and
controlled by alien Chinese who
had been denied the right to ac-
quire it from the commission, and
in violation of its American reg
istry.
Attorneys for Mr.. Morris and
other companies involved insisted
the Meacham still was under
American control.
In New York, Mr.. Morris law

The plastic valve is hollow

AS the heart pumps blood into
the plastic tube the ball is lifted
