GERMAN TRIBUTE—Despite the rain thousands of Germans, both East and West, filed past the bier of the late Ernst Reuter, mayor of West Berlin buried today in the most impressive display of public mourning seen in postwar Germany. More than one million persons were on hand to pay last respects to Reuter, symbol of German anti-Communism, who died unexpectedly Sept. 29. He was 64. Say Crisis Near in POW Row PANMUNJOM, Korea, (UP))—Relations between the Allies and Indian guardians of anti-Communist prisoners neared a critical stage today. Gen. Mark W. Clark, retiring far eastern commander of United Nations forces, brimly rejected an Indian proposal to subject prisoners to interviews longer than 90 days. South Korea accused the Indians of acting like Communists and threatened to "take up arms against them" because of the death of three prisoners in the Indian custodial camp. Reds Turn Over New List In another development today, the Communists handed the U.N. a list of 208 more prisoners they said escaped, died or were released at the front. The Reds thus diminished U.N. hopes for the return of 3000 prisoners they said were unaccounted for by the Communists. The names on today's list were not released. The U.N lists 94 Americans among the unaccounted for POWs. Clark Rejects Indian Plan Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, chairman of the Indian dominated Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission, had asked Clark to agree to extending the interviews beyond Dec. 24, the termination date set by the Korean armistice agreement. Thimayya suggested that "explainers" of both sides be permitted to talk to the prisoners at least 30 days longer. Clark refused. Anaheimer Given New Prison Term SANTA ANA — Five men who faced criminal court Friday are "out of circulation" today, under entences ranging from prison to short terms in Orange County Jail. Blunt Hanby, 58, of Anaheim, admitted passing bogus checks for $155 in Anaheim only a short time after he was paroled from prison July 20, and he got a new prison term from Judge Robert Gardner. Henley, who admitted six prior convictions on bogus check counts, also must finish time on the 1949 check charge on which he had been paroled. Robert Kale Kirby, 24, who admitted burglary of the office of a ranch near here where he formerly was an employee, drew a term in Chino State Prison. Fidel Del Real, 20, of Santa Ana, who was convicted of possession of marijuana, was ordered to California Youth Authority for punishment "if the Authority will accept you." Otherwise Del Real will be returned here for sentencing to some other institution, the court said. Fredrico O. Vasquez, 29, chose jail instead of Chino Prison although the court told him he could have treatment at the state prison and might overcome his marijuana - use habit. He drew a year's term. Leonard Wendel Hall, 21, of Cocta Mesa, got nine months in jail and probation for four years, after admitting a bogus check count at Newport Beach. Claim Smog May Cause Cancer of Lung SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Excessive smoking and "smog" have been singled out as possible causes of lung cancer as a meeting of the American Cancer Society's California Division. Dr. Lester Breslow, chief of the chronic disease service of the State Department of Health, reported the "connection between smoking and lung cancer." Beckman Sewer Row Hits Court SANTA ANA — A dispute over proposed use of a sewer line by Beckman Instrument, Inc., an optical-lens manufacturing concern now building near La Habra, reached Superior Court on Friday, and it made Lockman Foundation of La Habra both defendant and plaintiff. The Foundation was sued along with La Habra Sanitary District and Beckman, as Los Angeles University of Applied Education sought to enjoin use of the line it said it laid when its university was near La Habra. The complaint said that the $200-foot-long line cost $30-$57.52 to lay and the university was to be reimbursed for additional uses since it laid a larger-than necessary facility. To cover a $12,852.08 indebtedness it assigned part to Lockman Foundation. Lockman, therefore, became a defendant later entering the dispute by way of a cross-complaint in which the Foundation appears as a plaintiff, also seeking to enjoin use of the line by Beckman Instruments. The sewer line was laid to serve an additional 685 acres, the complaint said, but Beckman Instruments plant is not within that acres yet. La Habra Sanitary District allegedly has authorized use. Claim Shog May Cause Cancer of Lung SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Excessive smoking and "smog" have been singled out as possible causes of lung cancer as a meeting of the American Cancer Society's California Division. Dr. Lester Breslow, chief of the chronic disease service of the State Department of Health, reported the "connection between heavy smoking and lung cancer cannot be argued away." Breslow said yesterday a study of 518 lung cancer victims disclosed nine out of 10 were smokers and more than seven out of 10 smoked more than a pack a day. Smoking could not be the sole cause of lung cancer, but "One is led to be conclusion that excessive cigarette smoking is an important factor in the spectacular rise in lung cancer." Orange County Receives $8300 Check To Help Care for Victims of Polio A March of Dimes check-for $8,300 has been received by the Orange County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to help provide care for polio patients here, it was announced today by John McKittrick, chapter chairman. "This financial help comes as part of a general National Foundation arrangement to provide needy chapters with immediate emergency aid," McKittrick said. "This check is in addition to $18,900.00 previously advanced to our chapter." McKittrick explained that March of Dimes funds raised each January are shared with national headquarters. The chapter spends its portion for patient care and national headquarters finances research, epidemiic services, professional education and emergency aid to chapters. "We have in Orange County," he said, "a good example of how the local chapter and national headquarters work together to fight infantile paralysis. The money we send to national headquarters be used to fight polio elsewhere we run in the red, the National Foundation will pull us out if it means advancing us money than we were able to in the March of Dimes." McKittrick said it is quite stable the local chapter may even further aid from national headquarters. "The polio rate has declined last year's peak, but it still is a six-year crest," he said. "Gas globulin has proved to be an effective weapon in fighting polio, the supply is limited, and no vaccine has yet been perfected for use although great progress is being made towards that goal." Therefore, we must not fall in our efforts to help pay for rect medical care for polioferers." The chapter at present is providing funds in whole or in part the care of 139 patients this year, in addition to 238 contracted polio in previous years.

(Bulletin photo) Greenlease Kidnap Case Stalemated As Six-Year-Old Boy Still Missing KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A speeding car in the pre-dawn darkness caused a burst of excitement in the Robert C. Greenlease neighborhood today, but it failed to change the tragic situation at the home of kidnapped Bobby Greenlease. He was still missing. The six-year-old boy's wealthy parents still held hope they would be contacted by their son's suburban haired abductress. Police were ready to search for Bobby but withheld official action pending a signal from the family. Reporters Sight Auto The car that riffed past the big house was not identified. Police said it may have been a "hotrodder." But the car touched off a corps of newsmen in the dark street outside the Greenlease mansion and the incident was reported to editors and broadcasters. As dawn broke, the great house quieted. Honeyboy, Bobby's toy French poodle, took his usual early run. Otherwise, all was still, except for the 5:15 a.m. arrival of a car believed to belong to N. S. O'Neil, a partner of Greenlease. No Ransom Offered Spokesmen for the worried family spent part of yesterday denying emphatically any contact had been made. They said there was no connection with a classified ad that appeared in the Kansas City Star, nor a report that a $500,000 ransom had been offered. "We still believe we will hear from his kidnaper," Robert Lederman, a spokesman for Greenlease, said. Buena Park Resident The predictions were made on the basis of Moscow studious stalling tactics proposed negotiations on K Germany, Austria, disarmament and other problems thwarting peace. Evidence has been mounting recent days and weeks in opinion of experts here, that Russians are determined not to pull into peace talks at price. Undersecretary's Remark: The latest offer to negotiate ferences was sounded by U secretary of State Walter E Smith, former American Ambassador to Russia. Plainly pessimistic about Moscow's alleged moves, Smith said in a D address yesterday: In matters of disarmament Far Eastern tension, in all mankind pertaining to peace, we will state. We will not refuse to sider any reasonable compromise Peace we must have, and have as soon as the Soviet suits its actions to its words. President Supports Bid The offer has been sounded President Elsehower and by a state of John Foster II on repeated occasions recounted. But the Soviets at each opportunity have steered clear of commitments and have made minor gestures costing them ing. Smith's new offer to put issues to negotiation was quick on two counts. He said no ous consideration" could be to a Soviet demand that Recna be included on any Ge negotiations. And he said United States would "hold Communists to the Korean agreement providing that only resentatives of the two sidesicipating in the Korean cease. This was aimed at the munist demand that neutralities be added to the lineup. Superior Court Sets Hearings of Probation Pleas SANTA ANA — Probation hinges for three men who add auto thefts were set for O Night to Speak Here First Day as Governor Goodwin Knight will make what probably be his first speech governor of the State of California Monday noon at the Anaheim Elks club, it was learned. As the speaker at a joint meeting of the Kiwis, Lions, Roars and Exchange clubs long before Gov. Earl Warren's appointment as Chief Justice of the United States, it had been questioned whether Knight would be able to his Anaheim engagement still be sworn in as Governor Monday. Formed sources today, however, said Knight would be sworn in office in Los Angeles and leave soon after to keep his Anaheim speaking engagement. We $8300 Checks of Polio To national headquarters can used to fight polio elsewhere. If run in the red, the National Indication will pull us out even if means advancing us more than we were able to raise the March of Dimes." Kittrick said it is quite possible the local chapter may require further aid from national quarters. The polio rate has declined from year's peak, but it still is riding x-year crest," he said. "Gamma bulin has proved to be an effective weapon in fighting polio, but supply is limited, and no vaccine yet been perfected for general although great progress is being made towards that goal. Therefore, we must not fall down our efforts to help pay for medical care for polio sufferers." The chapter at present is provident funds, in whole or in part, for care of 139 patients stricken year, in addition to 238 who contracted polio in previous years.
