Blinding Fog-Smog Hits Area
Around L.A. for Second Time
Los Angeles U.R) Southern
California stumbled and groped
its way through a fourth day of
dense fog-smog Saturday with
some 2,000 traffic accidents re
corded and air, sea and highway
travel nearly at a standstill,
j The fog extended 20 miles
inland along a 200 mile strip- of
the coastline. In ' Los Angeles,
it mixed with familiar smog to
produce an eye-smarting, throat
irritating, soot-laden murk.
Folic Officers Called
; Off-duty police officers were
called to help fight the rising
traffic toll and to straighten the
many snarls on the county's
complex highway system.
Most of the accidents were
minor. Two deaths resulted from
fog-caused wrecks and 223 in
juries.
Nor was there hope of im
mediate relief. The Weather bur
eau forecast for today was for
continued heavy fog. ' ,

Pol ice Arrest Ma n Wa nted
For $150,000 in Bad Checks
Concord, Calif. U.R) Police said Saturday the arrest of
John Waitkunas, 39, ended the seven-year, $150,000 bogus-check
writing spree of a "phantom forger" sought by police departments
from California to New England.
Vnitlrnnoe on TT1 Mnta falif Iron ciirfffinn nrat 3rf I
Friday after a woman clerk in a Concord paint store recognized
him from a composite police picture and refused to cash his $86
check. "
$150,000 In Checks
Police Chief Ron W. Orin said Waitkunas, alias Walter De
meter, admitted cashing $150,000 worth of bad checks in New
England, Florida and throughout California. r
Waitkunas said he began his forgery career after he was
paid with a rubber check for gardening work in Pasadena, Calif.,
Orin said. - T
When captured, Waitkunas had only $17.31 in his pocket. He
told police he lost most of the $150,000 betting on horse races and
"believe me, you can't make any money that way."
Became Suspicious,
Mrs. Herb Minster, 35, wife of a Concord paint store owner,
first became suspicious of Waitkunas when he tried to buy an
expensive paint brush and, when she asked his business, replied,
"contractor" with the emphasis on the second sylable.
She also noted his similarity to a police Circular showing an
artist's drawing of "Walter Demeter." " .
She refused to accept his check, made out to James Burke and
signed by Dr. C. H. Lenz, a Concord physician.
She called police and officers spotted Waitkunas standing
near a, bank. The suspect hurried into a nearby building and
upstairs where he was cornered in a hallway.
Brother of China Prisoner
Enters USAF at Portland
Portland- U.R) The Air

ranks another son of Mrs. Ray
Peters of Portland.. One son, 22-year-old
Daniel Schmidt, was re
cently listed as one of 13 Ameri
cans sentenced by the Chinese
Communists (to jail terms on
trumped-up espionage charges.
James Schmidt, 18, was sworn
into the Air Force and was to
be shipped to Parks Air Force
Base in California.
James said he had been think
ing for a long time about en
listing in his brother's branch
of the service and word of Dan
iel's imprisonment made him
even more eager, though he said
he realized there was nothing
he could do directly to win his
brother's release. .'
Mrs. Peters is recovering from
a heart attack suffered shortly
after she learned that her older
son had been sentenced to four
years in a Red prison for what
the Chinese claim was espion
age against the "People's Republic."

Time was when teen-agers, eager to shatter the
shackles of parental control, threw anything and
everything connected with childhood right out tht
window. Milk, once their favorite beverage, was
usually among the first things that had to go. .
Today's teen-agers, however, are worlds wiser.
They know that growing up is a matter of 4iow
you act, not what you drink. And they realize that
milk is simply too good to pass up al any age.
As they t characteristically
put it: ''Gulp 3 goblets of
