Unofficial reports, which could not be confirmed, said six men were killed and one wound ed. Her Majesty's Motor Launch No. 1823, which normally carries a crew of 14, was attacked in the Pearl River Estuary. The 1710-ton British destroyer Concord was sent to the scene to pick up casualties. Destroyer Fired On It returned to Hong Kong Navy Yard late tonight and the casualties were taken away in waiting ambulances. Soon after the first announcement of the attack a United Press Taipeh dispatch reported that a Chinese Nationalist warship fired on the British destroyer St. Bride's Bay, 1580 tons, up the China Coast last Friday night. A brief communique issued here on the attack on the navy launch said: New Blackout Then navy authorities clamped a blackout on news of the attack. The attack on the launch was first announced in an Admiralty communique issued in London. A United Press Taipeh dispatch said the Chinese Nationalist Military Information Service told of the attack on the destroyer St. Bride's Bay. The attack was made when the destroyer entered Chinese Nationalist waters off the mouth of the Min River in northern Fukien province. Sept. 4. This area is about 450 miles up the coast from Hong Kong. Without Consent The Taipeh announcement said the destroyer entered territorial waters where escorting two British merchant vessels which were suspected of "supplying the Chinese Reds with materials." The St. Bride's Bay entered coastal waters without getting Nationalist consent in advance, the announcement said. A Nationalist warship signalled the destroyer by lamp, it was added, and when no reply was received fired tracer shots at the destroyer. The three British ships left the area two hours later, he announcement said. New Hearings Set THE BIRD THAT CAME FOR BREAKFAST—Blackie the scended upon the Edward P.

New Hearings Set On Rezonings Two reclassification petitions came before the City Planning Commission yesterday for first public hearings. One of the petitions was submitted by Ray B. Perry, 556 South Resh St., and Helen J. Long, 514 South Resh St., who represented the majority of property owners on both sides of South Resh street between West Santa Ana and West Water streets. They requested that their properties be reclassified from R-1, single family residential zone, to R-2, two-family resendital zone. The request was made because a large number of property owners built small houses on the rear of their lots before building larger homes on the front portion of their lots. With a R-1 zone, the families would be required to tear down the second dwelling on their property. No action was taken and the second public hearing was set Oct. 5. The second reclassification petition to come before the Commission was submitted by F. W. Elliot, 542 South West St. who owns property on East Center street and wants it reclassified to C-2, general commercial zone. The property is now R-A. His land is located on the north side of East Center street running parallel to and west of Cemetery road. THIEVES SCALE FENCE Thieves scaled the fence at the Troutman and Schols Oil Co., 501 South Olive St., during the night and made away with petroleum products and containers valued at $23, police were told.

The home of Mr. and North St., has been disrupted and some drastic changes made all because a guest came to breakfast and has decided to make his home with them. Their "guest" is not human, however, but is a young, very black crow that swooped down out of the eucalyptus trees early one morning and made it very clear that he wanted breakfast and some attention. The Lynaugh's two sons, Edward P. Jr., 9, and Patrick J., immediately made him welcome and named him "Blackde." After eating his meal, Blackie took to the air and flew about the Lynaugh's 10-acre ranch investigating it from the air.

Supt. Cook stated that the district expects an enrollment of 340 students on opening day - a jump of 900 over the opening day enrollment last year. Coupled with the jump in enrollment, Cook pointed out, was the fact that the 10 new classrooms at Benjamin Franklin school and Thomas Jefferson school will not be completed for from three weeks to a month. Further adding complications to the problem was the fact that two new school buses ordered for the district and promised Sept. 1 will not be available until next month. In view of the problems stated by Cook trustees last night set down the policy that: Kindergarten through third-grade students would not be transported by bus if they lived less than three-quarters of a mile from the school and Fourth through Eighth-grade students would not be transported if they live less than a mile away — except in case of extremely hazardous traffic conditions. The district would not accept children into the district on interdistrict attendance transfers unless the child has been previously in attendance at an Anaheim school. Despite these two policy changes laid down by trustees last night Cook stated that in all probability Lincoln school will have to have double sessions in nearly all grades and double sessions will be the order in some cases in Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and possibly Horace Mann. An additional burden was added to the district when school architects notified the board that the kindergarten at Loarra school would have to move before plans for the new school additions would be approved. Trustees temporarily solved this problem by stating that kindergarteners at Loarra will probably be buses to Benjamin Franklin school for classes. Planners Approve Variance Requests Four variance requests were approved yesterday by the City Planning Commission. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Krueger and Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Hollowell, 1248 East Center St., were granted permission to erect five duplexes on their property which will be used for their purposes. Rita Balks At Aly's $1 Million LAS VEGAS (UP)—Film star Rita Hayworth today angrily turned down a one million dollar divorce settlement which her attorney announced had been reached with Prince Aly Khan in Paris. Bartley Crum, the actress' lawyer, announced yesterday in Paris that the prince would set up a million dollar trust fund under the agreement for the couple's only child, three-year-old Princess Yasmin, and that the girl would be reared in the Moslem faith. Miss Hayworth told United Press early today that she had not received word of any such agreement and added: Her Own Business "All the money in the world can't buy my child's right to be raised as an American." "Whatever religion I choose for Yasmin is my own business," the actress continued. "I don't have to specify any particular religion." Miss Hayworth said she wanted Yasmin to live with her in the United States and repeated vehemently: "She will be as an American and not as a Moslem."

A. E.

The concrete and steel tank to be located on the south side of La Palma Ave. between Citron and West streets, will when completed, provide a constant water pressure and storage to serve the entire western portion of the city in addition to new annexations west of Anaheim. The new 18-inch water line proposed for furnish Delco Remy and others with water, will hook directly into the new reservoir, and to the Metropolitaan Water system. The LaPalma water reservoir will be installed at an approximate cost of $180,000; both it and the $40,000 pipe line being ultimatley paid for from the recent bond issue covering utilities. Completion is set for Jan. 1. County Polio Toll Hits Total of 114 SANTA ANA - Polio struck yesterday at the third member of a Garden Grove family, and the county's year to day polio toll hit 114. Sally Edgar, 3, was listed as a sufferer of a mild non-paralytic type of polio and was returned to her home after treatment at Orange County General Hospital. Her brother Patrick, 5, has bulbar type polio and still is in the contagious disease ward at the hospital. Their father, Dr. E. G. Edgar, had suffered polio last Aug. 16 as the 93rd victim. He however, has resumed his practice. Also admitted as polio sufferers were Walter Atkinson, 29, 263 South Laurel St. Brea and Kenneth Seeley 3, of 14202-Willow Street, Westminster. Both have mild non-paralytic type polio. Dr. Edward Lee Russell, the county's health officer listed 91 cases at this time last year. He said that while there are now 114 cases most of them are milder than suffered by polio victims in previous years. Second usage of the document is as a public item.

Weather Variable cloudiness but sunny this afternoon and Few sprinkles locally mountains this afternoon change in temperature this afternoon about 90 TO REPLACE VINSON Warren, Dewey Not Out As Candidates for Post WASHINGTON UP — Informed sources said today there is a good chance President Eisenhower will pick an eminent Republican jurist, rather than a political figure, to succeed Fred M. Vinson as Chief Justice of the United States. Federal Circuit Judge John J. Parker of Charlotte, N.C., and Chief Justice Arthur T. Vanderbilt of the New Jersey Supreme Court were mentioned as possible choices should Mr. Eisenhower decide to entrust the nation's highest judicial post to a man already on the bench. Earlier speculation about a successor to Vinson, who died of a heart attack yesterday, has centered around Govs. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Earl Warren of California. Funeral Tomorrow Mr. Eisenhower, who planned to fly here from Denver to attend memorial services for Vinson at 11 a.m. PDT tomorrow, was apparently in no hurry to reach a final decision. Sources close to the summer White House predicted he would consult with Atty. Gen. Hbert Brownell Jr., and Republican congressional leaders before announcing an appointment, perhaps late this month. The Supreme Court begins its fall term Oct. 5, with heavy docket of important cases. Mr. Eisen- Kuchel to Greet Citizens During Homecoming Fete Every person who so wishes will have the opportunity to personally meet and talk to Senator Thomas Kuchel at a coffee hour following gala homecoming ceremonies for the Anaheim senator scheduled Sept. 16, officials stated today.

Stephenson of Pitts to the new loud-speaker system traffic control car put into service on siren and public address system speakers for a siren, for traffic lify reception from the car's radio car. The new installation is the city. (Bulletin photo) New Police Car Boasts Latest Electronic Device It's not especially news when the police department buys a new car—they're doing it several times a year; but it is news when they install on a new car, a gadget which doubles in brass for a siren, four speaker and radio amplifier. Said to be the first of its kind in Orange county, the new electronic whistle came to the attention of Chief of Police Mark A. Stephenson earlier this year when the local officer attended a convention of police officers. Heart of the unit is a regular radio audio system hooked to the police radio. A three-way switch within easy reach of the driver, instantly converts the speaker system to any one of three uses. Heretofore, all police cars have been equipped with standard sirens—either mounted on a fender or hidden beneath the car's hood. Operation of the new system as a siren, causes an electrically-produced signal resembling a siren's voice, to be heard. Although it can be termed a siren, the voice is higher in pitch and can be heard farther. It can be made to oscillate or to maintain a steady sound during its use. Second usage of the new equipment is as a public address system. A special "mike" on the control panel allows the car's driver to make himself heard for distances of more than half a mile. Chief Stephenson plans a full operation of the equipment for trafffic control car put into service on siren and public address system speakers for a siren, for traffic lify reception from the car's radio car.

The Supreme Court begins its fall term Oct. 5, with heavy docket of important cases. Mr. Eisenhower is expected to name a new Chief Justice before the term begins, but court attaches said no postponement of the session is anticipated even if he does not act by Oct. 5. The court can sit without a Chief Justice so long as a quorum, five justices, is present. National Mourning Vinson's sudden death at the age of 63 shocked and saddened leaders of both parties who liked him as a man and admired his 30-year record of public service in all three branches of the government. Eisenhower, who had often played bridge with the genial Kentuckian, decreed a 30-day period of national mourning during which flags on all public buildings will be flown at half staff. Vinson's body was to lie in state tonight at Gawler's Funeral Home. Public memorial services will be held tomorrow in Washington Cathedral. The funeral will be Friday at Louisa, Ky., Vinson's home with burial to follow in the Vinson family plot at Pine Hill Cemetery. Court Postpones Spreckels Hearing COSTA MESA—Too ill to continue her testimony against her estimate, Adolph B. Spreckels II, accused of feloniously beating her, Actress Kay Williams was excused from the witness stand in court here Tuesday afternoon and his preliminary hearing set over until Thursday at 10 a.m. The pretty blonde, mother of his two children complained of a splitting headache and extreme nervousness, and a physician present advised Judge Donald J. Dodge that she should not be recalled for more testimony now in his Newport Beach Judicial District Court. She spent a gruelling day on the witness stand as counsel for Spreckels, 41-year-old sugar fortune heir, ripped into her story that she was struck "10 or 15 times" with her own slipper and kicked repeatedly at the Spreckels home, 106 Grand Canal, Balboa Island, early last Aug. 20. Every person who so wishes will have the opportunity to personally meet and talk to Senator Thomas Kuchel at a coffee hour following gala homecoming ceremonies for the Anaheim senator scheduled Sept. 16, officials stated today. Stressing the informal greeting period after the regular homecoming program, Anaheim officials in charge of welcoming urged all who wish to meet the local congressman to attend the big homecoming rally in Anaheim City Park. The official program will start at 7:30 p.m. when Sen. Kuchel, Orange County's first senator, will arrive at the park escorted by Mayor Charles Pearson, former schoolmate of the senator. Mayor Pearson will call at the home of Sen. Kuchel's mother, Mrs. Thomas H. Kuchel, and escort the legislator to the 100 block on West Alede St. where the senator will make his entrance promptly at 7:30. An old-fashioned welcome will be extended with the Anaheim Elk's and High School Bands combining talents to fanfare his entry to the park. On stage Judge John Shea will lead the audience in the National (Continued on Page 5) Center St. Now Property of City Center St. through Anaheim is now the sole property of the city. This was made known yesterday with receipt of official word from the California State Department of Highways. Return of the thorofare to the city from its formre status as a State highway, was viewed from directions by Councilmen. They got their desired cake but now must eat it and it's going to prove expensive. This comes about through the necessity of providing at least three automatic traffic signals at the city's expense. Plans were to have allowed the State to install signals at West St., Citron St., and at East St., at some $18,000 per set. The city is now wondering where the money is coming from. Although the city is in the position of paying its own way on the three localized signals, some aid is apparent for proposed traffic control at Euclid and Lincoln. In this deal, the State will pay 50 per cent of the cost while Orange County will share the other 50 percent with the city of Anaheim. Since Pascantia Ave. is still a State highway, Anaheim and the State will share the expense, with the city paying some $4500 on the cost of installation. In exchange for control of Center St., the city may now rule Weather Variable cloudiness but mostly sunny this afternoon and Thursday. Few sprinkles locally near the mountains this afternoon. Little change in temperature with high this afternoon about 90. Second usage of the new equipment is as a public address system. A special "mike" on the control panel allows the car's driver to make himself heard for distances of more than half a mile. Chief Stephenson plans a full operation of the equipment for traffic control and all emergencies. Third use comes when officers must leave the car for investigations, gathering evidence or writing tickets. It is necessary that radio messages be heard—thus requiring a second officer to remain in the car or move the car to a position near the investigation under way. With a simple flip of a switch, the amplified radio messages are sent through the speakers which are easily heard for blocks, should the officer require it. Tests conducted by Chief Stephenson showed amazing effectiveness for more than a half-mile where both voice and siren were heard. Although only one car is equipped with the three-way audio equipment, it is hoped future installations can be made as the need is recognized. One use of the new equipment will be to caution jay-walkers of their violation. A crusing police car may suddenly broadcast to a person making a violation and advise them of their wrong. Other uses include the "talking" of speeders and drunk drivers to the curb rather than attempting a chase with red light and siren. Parades, fires and similar occasions when crowds gather will be controlled by the new system, Chief Stephenson revealed. Remainder of the law enforcement agencies of Orange County will be watching and studying the effects of Anaheim's new car—and soon may add the same equipment to their cars. Pole on Truce Team Gets Political Asylum SEOUL, Korea (UP)—A Polish member of a neutral nation inspection team begged and received political asylum today only minutes before he was to fly back to Communist North Korea. The U.S. Army disclosed that Jan Hadjukiewicz, 28, an interpreter with the Polish members of the team, broke with Communism at an air base at Kangnung on South Korea's east coast. He slipped away from the Communist group as it waited at the air base for a plane to warm up its engines for the flight to North Korea. Although the city is in the position of paying its own way on the three localized signals, some aid is apparent for proposed traffic control at Euclid and Lincoln. In this deal, the State will pay 50 per cent of the cost while Orange County will share the other 50 percent with the city of Anaheim. Since Placement Ave. is still a State highway, Anaheim and the State will share the expense, with the city paying some $4500 on the cost of installation. In exchange for control of Center St., the city may now rule heavy truck traffic to other routes—possibly Orangethorpe Ave. Nixing of the signals at Citron St. by the State leaves Anaheim high school kids out in the cold concerning the work done in Sacramento last year by a committee headed by Jan Larson, last year's high school paper editor. At that time, Sen. John Murdy Jr. and Assemblyman LeRoy E. Lyon Jr. had coaxed highway officials into agreeing to place automatic signals at the high school crossing to protect pedestrians. It's now up to the City of Anaheim to install the signals. Mercury Soars to 94 As Anaheim Swelters "Here we go again," muttered the weatherman this morning as he glanced at the rising mercury. He was recalling to mind the heat wave Southern California had several weeks ago. And the past several days. "I guess we should expect it," he said. "We seem to always get our hot weather just before school opens and when the rest of the nation is getting chilly." "Looks like today will be a repeat of yesterday," he reported. "Yesterday's high was 94 at 3 P.M. and the relative humidity was 45 per cent. The low was 52 degrees." "Today, at noon," he said, the temperature is 85° degrees with a relative humidity of 45 per cent. The low for last night was reached at 6 this morning which was 55 degrees." "Light sprinkles wet the streets in the Los Angeles area early this morning. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms were reported in some Southern California mountain and desert regions." "Oh yes," he added, "We can expect some smog today."
