In spite Of mechanical difficulty
with the intricate X-ray unit, East
Cleveland's 1868 Chest X-ray sur.
vey got off to a good start as 113s
residents were x-rayed in three
operating days.
Biggest take to date was the
corner of Euclid ave. and Lee rd
where SIT persons stepped before
the X-ray cameras in six and one
half operating hours on Wednes-
day, May 27.
Mechanical difficulties made it
impossible to operate the Euclid

mounted at noon on Thursday and
316 persons were X-rayed in five
operating hours on that day at
Euclid ave .and Taylor rd.
To round out the first weeks
total, 245 X-rays were taken in 10
East Cleveland industries on
Tuesday, May 26th, the opening
day of the survey.
"Loss Of X-ray time through

What? Yes Sir!
Flying Saueers

East Cleveland has received its
first citizens report of what has
come to be known as "flying
saucers."
The mysterious objects of the
air were reported to police by
Robert Booth, 16207 Nelaview.
Mr.. Booth says that about 6:29
pm. Monday, June End as he, his
wife, Mrs. Catherine Booth, and
his sister-in-law, Maria Stevens,
were in the rear yard of the Booth
home, they noticed the saucers.
There were four of them, cigar
shaped objects in formation, two
and two coming from the north
east and flying northwest. Two or
three seconds elapsed from the time
they first appeared over the hori-
zen until they were lost to sight.
Mr.. Booth has served as cryp-
tographer with the U. S. Air Force.

childhood as farm lad. He came
to East Cleveland in 1918 to teach
woodworking and mechanical draw
ing at Superior School. Later he
was transferred to Kirk.
Since guns are his hobby it was
but natural that Mr.. Simpson
should sponsor the schools rifle
team, which he did for many years.
He has a number of priced fire
arms in his own collection. Now
for many years he has been the
official Kirk locksmith, keeping in
repair not only the more than 1900
locker locks, but any and all other
locks in the big school building
atop Terrace rd. hill.
Mr.. Simpson is closing his school
career with fond memories of hun
dreds of admiring students, and
the sincere wishes of his colleagues.
Of Kirk Mr.. Simpson says it has
the best school spirit both as to
pupils and teachers. He has en-
joyed all papiis, he shyly admits
that Seventh Graders are his spe-
cial joy.
During the after-dinner remarks,
DR.. L. L. Myers, principal at Kirk
said "We deeply regret that cir
cumstances require Mr.. Simpsons
retirement from Kirk. He has been
a willing and most able member
Of our faculty"
In their plans for the future,
Mr.. and Mrs. Simson are including
a quiet home amidst a beautiful
countryside and possibly more
travel, although they have visited
every state in the union.

If the goal is to be met, an aver.
age Of 419 people will have to ster
before the X-ray cameras during
each remaining operating day OF
the survey, DR.. Winkler pointed
out.
DR.. Winkler said that three East
Cleveland business men are con.
tributing heavily to the success OF
the survey. They are Joseph Eek
ert, Howard Edwards and Cecil
Stonebraker.
Each Of these men is heading
committees to call upon business
houses in the area of X-ray loca-
tions. They talk with the man.
ayers or proprietors Of each place
Of employment, asking these en-
ployers to allow employees time
off from their work to go to the
nearby unit for X-ray.
During the initial week of the
survey cooperation from employers
and employees alike has been
excellent, DR.. Winkler reports.
Another factor in the success of
the survey has been the acceptance
by more and more people of annual
chest X-ray as good health habit,
DR.. Winkler said.
"More and more people seem
willing to take a little time out of
their busy day to ride or walk a
few blocks for chest X-ray and the
assurance it brings" he said.

units is:

Congratulations
To David Shaw
So Graduate

While graduation from high
school is an achievement taken in
it's stride by most boys and girls,
receiving a diploma for completion
of high school courses was a
special triumph for David Simonis,
member of the June class of 1858,
Shaw High School.
David did not hear when George
Nelson, president Of the board
of education called his name last
night in Severance Hall where the
commencement exercises were held.
But he could read the lips Of
the speaker. David is deaf. During
his beginning school days at Su-
perior School he was under the
guidance of Miss Paxton. When he
progressed into Kirk, Miss Fox
took over as special teacher,
although in both schools David, as
is the custom, joined regular
classes as soon as he was ready
to do so.
The East Cleveland system of
teaching these children is to try
to fit them for living in a hear
ing world, and this David has
learned to do.
In Shaw David has been on his
own-and done well. He is par
ticularly interested in woodwork
ing and mechanical drawing and
hopes to continue his endeavors
along these lines.
An avid sports fan, David man.
aged Shaw's baseball team, and
attended all school sports. He
enjoys swimming. He is member
of the basketball team at the st.
Columbkille's center for the deaf
where he also participates in
other sports and social events,
although he enjoys himself just
as much with the hearing young
people.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
W. Simmons, 1929 Forest Hill
rd. are justify proud Of their son,
and grateful for the opportunities
that have come to him through
the East Cleveland Public Schools
excelled curriculum plans for deaf
pupils.
David is the first student to go
all the way through the local
schools, most of them remaining
through Junior High days and then
being able to take their place in
the high schools of their own
communities.

Ke||am Loses Move
To Void Indictments;
Trial Set January 10
3 Counts Thrown Out
In Virginia Democrats
Income Tax Evasion Case

Judge Albert v. Bryan in U. S.
District Court at. Alexandria, to-
day refused to set aside indict-
ments on income tax evasion
and conspiracy charges against
Sidney S. Kellam, Virginia
Democratic leader, and set trial
for January 10 in Norfolk.
Judge Bryan threw out three
counts of income tax evasion
for 1914. 1945 and 1916. He
ruled them out under a statute
of limitations preventing prose-
cution six years after an alleged
offense.
Managed Stanley Drive.
The alleged income tax offense
for 1947 is set at March 20.
1913, the day the returns were
filed.
Mr.. Kellam's indictment last
October came only a few weeks
before the November 3 election.
He was campaign manager for
the Governor elect, Thomas B.
Stanley. Four years earlier, he
had successfully managed Gov.
Battles campaign.
Five other persons will face
trial with Mr.. Kellam. Five of
the indictments, including the
charges against Mr.. Kellam.
grew out of income tax returns
of the Beach Taxi Service, Inc,
at Virginia Beach.
Separation Refused.
The other four were w. Rus

ager at Virginia Beach; w. F..
Hudgins. former clerk Of Prin-
cess Anne Circuit Court; Her.
bert A. Holt, jr., former Virgin
ia Beach town councilman, and
Frank L. Gresham, operator of
the taxi service.
Judge Bryan denied a de-
Tense motion to separate the
conspiracy indictment against
Mr.. Goodman from the others.
The judge granted a Govern
ment motion to try all the in
dictments together.
Although he held that the
company and the five men
charged could not be tried for
income tax evasion for years
before 1947, Judge Bryan held
that the conspiracy charges
could cover the entire period.
