PRESIDENT-SIZED CAKE—A trio of workmen put the finishing touches on this six-foot birthday cake at Hershey, Pa. President Eisenhower out the cake at birthday celebration in his honor. The anniversary party was held in a huge circus tent today. Eisenhower Celebrates 63rd Birthday At Huge Extravaganza Thrown by GOP WASHINGTON — President Eisenhower was 65 years old today and bearing up well under the glittering burden of the most star-spangled birthday celebration in generations. He scheduled a full day in his office, including appointments with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and the British Ambassador, before starting out late tonight on a five-state speaking tour that will take him from Ohio to the Mexican border.

The official news agency Tanjug asserted that two Italian armored units moved up to the border of Zone A of Trieste At Huge Extravaganza Thrown by GOP WASHINGTON — President Eisenhower was 65 years old today and bearing up well under the glittering burden of the most star-spangled birthday celebration in generations. He scheduled a full day in his office, including appointments with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and the British Ambassador, before starting out late night on a five-state speaking tour that will take him from Ohio to the Mexican border. There was little inclination at the White House to hold a birthday celebration of any size today after the extravaganza Republicans staged last night at Hershey, Pa. Hundreds of Cakes There was nothing in recent American history like the Hershey party for size, glitter and theatrical production. It had everything from a massed chorus of 1800 voices chanting "We Like Ike" to golf pros chipping sponge rubber practice balls into the President's lap. There were birthday cakes by the hundred, including one (wooden) over 30 feet high and another (real) seven feet tall. At one point, the President received a fiery salute from 7000 persons, each equipped with a small wooden birthday cake and a lighted red candle. And, to top off a long evening, there was an historical pageant set to music. Big Birthday Gift An estimated 20,000 to 25,000 persons participated in the celebration which included three parties, (Continued on Page 6) City Formally Okays New Fire Truck After Exhaustive Tests by Officials Anaheim formally took acceptance of its new 1000-gallon pumper fire engine yesterday from representatives of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and field men of the Seagrave Fire Engine Co. Final pressure tests were concluded at the training station of the Santa Ana Fire Department with Chief Ed Stringer of the Anaheim department, and Chief John Garthe of Santa Ana officating. The shining red pumpper which was driven here from Ohio by Travis Cushman, city maintenance foreman, was given final acceptance tests in Los Angeles before being brought to Santa Ana. Present for the tests were representatives of the company, Anaheim Councilmen Pete Wisser, Ray Van Wagoner and Oscar Heying in addition to Administrator Keith Murdoch. James Gesler returned the new truck to Anaheim. Among the exhaustive tests made in Santa Ana, was the setting up of a pressure test in which 1000 gallons of water per minute was pumped into a special test device at 150-pounds nozzle pressure. This test was maintained for a period of two-hours. Later, a 30-minute test at two-thirds capacity at an engine pressure of 200 pounds was made. Final test of the machine was made over a 30-minute period in which water was thrown under 250 pounds pressure at one-half pump capacity. Features of the new truck include twin booster pumps and lines which can simultaneously pump water from both lines of the truck’s water storage tank. Ultra-modern equipment including chemicals, late-lyne ladders, and Although South Korea promised not to interfere, Allied observers expected trouble. The captives have been told they are required to appear either singly or in groups before the Communist "explainers" and hundreds have vowed to kill the persuaders. Numerous threats against the Indians, whom the South Koreans consider pro-Communists, have been made by South Koreans in responsible positions. South Korea, Kar said, "will not interfere with the implementation of the armistice terms so long as the conditions upon which the government agreed to the truce are met." Ohio St. Extension Row Ended by City Council A three-month fight by Mrs. Hulda P. Smith and residents of the north Citron-Ohio St., area north of Alberta, St. to coax City Council into authorizing the continuance of Ohio St., through to Wilhelmina St., was lost last night when the five-man council voted unanimously to approve a final zoning map for development of building lots for subdivider Dick Heffern. Long fought through sessions of the planning commission and city council, the action by the trustees came when a resident of the area, H. Wills Watkins reported that an effort to reconcile plans of Mrs. Smith and Heffern had failed. Mrs. Smith, owner of an undeveloped plot of property facing North Citron St. at Wilhelmina St., had requested the opening of Ohio through to Clementine for the development of the rear of her property into city lots. Heffern, on the other hand, was against the opening of Ohio St. through his subdivision; claiming that the street would bring additional, undesirable traffic into the area. His subdivision, when completed, will terminate in a dead-end street parallel with and South of Wilhelmina street. Weather Partly cloudy today, tonight and Thursday but considerable afternoon sunshine. Little change in temperature. High today near 72.

In his address, Tito warned that zone as soon as an Italian enters. Tito appealed for a four-power con Missing Ransom Loot Sought in Greenlease Case KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP)—Federal agents clung to their belief today that Carl Austin Hall or Bonnie Brown Heady would lead them eventually to the hiding place of $300,000 ransom money still missing in the Bobby Greenlease kidnap case. The kidnappers, showing no remorse for their wanton killing of the six-year-old kidnap victim, persisted in claiming they don't know what happened to the missing half of the $600,000 ransom payment. In Separate Cells Hall and Mrs. Heady settled down in separate cells today for what may be a long wait before society takes its toll for their crime. U.S. Dist. Atty. Edward R. Scheufler said "we're going to move slowly" in preparing the case against them under the Lindbergh kidnap law. Days of searching failed to produce any trace of the $300,000 which had vanished by the time Hal and his hard-drinking woman accomplice were arrested in St. Louis Oct. 6. Neither could give a coherent story of the disposal of the money. Describes Killing Only yesterday Hall told a deputy U.S. marshal he believed Mrs. Heady knew where the money was. Hall said he thought Mrs. Heady hid the $300,000 while she was drunk and had forgot the location. Feeling was running high in Kansas City against the kidnapers, especially after Mrs. Heady disclosed in a conversation with her cellmate that Hall had beaten Bobby with his first before ending his life with a pistol shot in the head. Scheufler said he probably would ask a federal Grand Jury to indict Hall and Mrs. Heady. The Grand Jury is now recess, and Scheufler indicated it might be two weeks before the jury could be recalled and the indictments returned. Fremont Campus Closed During Lunch Periods Anaheim elementary district trustees last night "closed" the campus of the John C. Fremont school. The action means that children will not be allowed to leave the school grounds to eat their lunch unless they go home—and then a mother Felix, superior of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange said that the order will provide all the remaining funds necessary to complete the project, or approximately $750,000.

Van Arsdale, vice-chairman; Buena Park — Gordon McComber chairman, and Franklin Sullivan vice-chairman; Fullerton — C. Stanley Chapman, chairman, and T. J Eadington, vice-chairman; La Habrs TROUBLE OVER TRIESTE—Yugoslavie's President Marshal Tito address at 250,000, In Skopje, Yugoslavia.

Harvey Stonehouse, chairman of the St. Jude Hospital Fund Raising Committee, announced yesterday. Trustees Approve New Addition at Jefferson School End of double sessions in both Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin schools soon was assured last night when trustees approved the five-classroom addition at Jefferson and indicated a similar addition at Franklin would be completed within one or two weeks. The new rooms at Jefferson will be put into use as soon as possible. Superintendent Paul Cook said, Little hope for ending double sessions in first grades at both Lincoln and Horace Mann in the near future was seen by trustees at last night's session. Looking toward the continued growth of the area trustees last night called for bids on six classrooms to be added to the Loara school. Bids will be opened at the Nov. 10 meeting of the board. Also in line with growth of the district trustees last night approved an appraisal of the Louis R. Freeman property south of Jefferson school for eventual purchase. In addition they authorized the purchase of a strip of land between the Freeman property and the school for $635. The strip was 11 feet wide and 600 feet long. Fremont Campus Closed During Lunch Periods Anaheim elementary district trustees last night "closed" the campus of the John C. Fremont school. The action means that children will not be allowed to leave the school grounds to eat their lunch unless they go home—and then a note from their parents will be required. Trustees said. The Board took the action after it had been pointed out that the lunch period of the Fremont students overlapped that of the High School students, causing a congested area along Center street at noon. Looking toward the continued growth of the area trustees last night called for bids on six classrooms to be added to the Loarra school. Bids will be opened at the Nov. 10 meeting of the board. Also in line with growth of the district trustees last night approved an appraisal of the Louis R. Freeman property south of Jefferson school for eventual purchase.

A resolution to purchase a 2.82 acre parcel of land from Delmar and Ann Jackson for $7000 as part of a school site on East Vermont St., west of Placentia Ave., was also passed at last night's meeting. The district has a two-year option to buy another 2.18 acres adjoining the Jackson property from the city to make a five-acre school site. In line with the new buildings being constructed for the school district, trustees voted to increase insurance on the schools by $125,-000 and to add H. H. Stabbert to the list of school insurance carriers. Five Custodians Hired By School District Five custodians were hired by the Anaheim Elementary School district at last night's regular meeting, and three others were employed for other positions. Named as custodians with salaries of $285 per month were Frank Bireley, Howard L. Losey, Thomas Wolf, Jesse Wray and Louis J. Terrott. Trustees also approved the employment of Mrs. Jeanette Evans as cook and manager of the Fremont cafeteria at $260 for 10 months; hired Mrs. Anabel Christensen as clerk at Horace Mann school; and okayed the part-time employment of Mrs. Fid A. Rossberg at Fremont school. Other action by the board included the approval of June 17 1954 as closing day of schools; approval of the replacement of a recorder and P.A. system stolen in September, and the awarding of bids for replacement of drapes and curtains for Horace Mann and Benajmin Franklin schools. Two Industrial Zones Approved by Supervisors SANTA ANA — Two industrial zones, one south of Anaheim and the other south of Santa Ana, was approved by the Board of Supervisors late yesterday. The Anaheim tract approved for rezoning for industry is 52 acres lying between Highway 101 and the Southern Pacific railroad tracks and between Ball Road and Midway Drive. Ed Power, owner of the property, proposed the rezoning. The tract south of Santa Ana is about 150 acres between South Main street and Newport avenue and Dyer Road, it is a triangular flare. Its rezoning was approved by Santa Ana City Planning Commission after Carnation Milk company proposed a milk processing plant in the vicinity. Orange County Plain Dealer ☆☆☆ BULLETIN AY. OCTOBER 14. 1953 VOL. XXXI NO. 46 Is Found in Red Germany Radar Plant Scientists Face Quiz NEW YORK UP — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy said today that top secret government radar documents have turned up in Soviet East Germany and disclosed that four or five more employees have been suspended at the Fort Monmouth Signal Corps laboratories. McCarthy also revealed that one of two Signal Corps scientists questioned today admitted removing 43 classified documents from the Fort Monmouth laboratories. McCarthy said the only covered body was the room where In Goal of $750,000 New St. Jude Hospital 10 Bid to Build Water Storage Tank for Anaheim Work on Anaheim's new 3,000,000 gallon water surface storage tank near the corner of La Palma and Citron streets will get under way shortly, when contract for the construction of the concrete tank and pumping building is awarded. Spirited bidding yesterday by 10 leading construction firms of the Southland, was held for checking by the city engineering department before announcement of contract winner was made, City Council said. Chambers of council were packed with representatives of construction companies during reading of bids and specifications. Although no official statement was made concerning awarding of the contract by Council, those present acknowledged that the bid of $152,949 by the Penn Construction Company of Baldwin Park was seemingly the lowest offered. Completion of the concrete and asphalt laying job was expected in not more than 180 working days following start of the contract. High bid was $239,645 by the Smith-Campbell Co. of Long Beach. When completed, the plant will include three giant electric motor-driven pumps in addition to two gasoline-operated pumps. ATURDAY McCarthy also revealed that one of two Signal Corps scientists questioned today admitted removing 43 classified documents from the Fort Monmouth laboratory.

If It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin 10-day Suspension The Wisconsin senator, conducting the third day of hearings by the Senate Permanent Investigating Subcommittee, said the witness who took the documents was punished with a 10-day suspension. But later, he said the man was reinstated and promoted. McCarthy indicated the Fort Monmouth case was connected with the spy ring of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, executed atomic spies. The new suspensions bring to nine or 10 the total of employees who have been put out in the course of Army and Senate investigations of alleged espionage in the Signal Corps. In Marine Corps A subcommittee member, Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-Ill), announced last night that 26 of 57 documents, many of them containing radar secrets, had found their way into the hands of the Communists.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California announced today that it will seek to test the constitutionality of the new California law which forces public school teachers to answer questions concerning their political opinions and associations put to them by schools authorities or legislative committees. Clinton St. John, 33, for five years an instructor at Orange Coast College at Costa Mesa, is the first victim of the new-law. Having refused on principle to answer any questions concerning his politics at a college board meeting last Wednesday, St. John was Monday night fired by his board. St. John has also refused to sign a newly required "loyalty oath," although he had signed three years ago the Levering oath required of all California public employees as "civil defense workers." ACLU here declared that it will support St. John's legal battle against the new law. Attorney A. L. Wirin, counsel for the ACLU, represented St. John before the board when he took his stand to "resist this invasion of his rights as a citizen." The new law was sponsored in the 1953 session of the California Legislature by Senator Nelson Dilloworth of Hemet as Senate Bill 1367. In a public statement issued by ACLU Director Eason Monroe, the Union condemns the new law as a clear invasion of the private lives of teachers and as a breach of teacher tenure. A court suit will be filed by At- torney Wirin in the Superior Court of Orange County to challenge St. John's dismissal and to institute a thorough constitutional test of the new law.
