In Red Area of Germany
BERLIN UP — Armed revolt by Red Army deserters,
anti-Communist East Germans and Czech Partisans, fighting their way to freedom in the West today was reported spreading in large areas of Soviet-run East Germany.
The U.S. High Commission's German language newspaper Neue Zelting, said today that the underground resistance forces armed with machine guns and other automatic weapons seized in raids on Red Army and police barracks, are on the offensive.
City Passes New Ordinance for Trailer Owners
Local trailer owners — beware!
First reading of an ordinance requiring the specific parking of house trailers passed city council yesterday which will require all house trailer owners to place their vehicles at the rear of their lots or in covered garages.
The special amendment to the city code requires that those persons parking trailers on the rear of key corner lots, must place them in the half-section of the lot most removed from the street.
This amendment came as the result of numerous complaints from home owners that unsightly house trailers have been parked on or near the street and near homes — to the detriment of the home owner. Under the new code, when adopted, violators will be subject to a misdemeanor.
A new subdivision for Anaheim was approved by Council yesterday when tract 1859 which is

of key corner lots, must place them in the half-portion of the lot most removed from the street.
This amendment came as the result of numerous complaints from home owners that unsightly house trailers have been parked on or near the street and near homes — to the detriment of the home owner. Under the new code, when adopted, violators will be subject to a misdemeanor.
A new subdivision for Anaheim was approved by Council yesterday when tract 1859 which is bounded by West La Palma Ave., Romneya Drive, between North and Euclid, was presented. The tract has 66 land parcels.
A public hearing on a proposal to set up a 60-foot wide "parking landscaping" zone around newly annexed M-2 industrial district's was set for Nov. 10 by Council yesterday. The buffer zone designed to improve the perspective of the property, will if passed, affect property on North Lemon St., land to the Fullerton City limits and on North Raymond St.
Anaheim councilmen favor the plan to route flood waters through the city via a closed box canal under La Palma Ave. This was brought out when the group passed a resolution favoring the action as approved by the County Board of Supervisors this week.
The project would route water from a settling basin East of the Santa Fe tracks on La Palma Ave., through the city to a point West of West St. on La Palma. This would tie in with the proposed diversion channel from the Carbon Canyon area to the Santa Ana river.
A new armory for Company K of the California National Guard may be constructed on city-owned property at the South - East corner of West and La Palma, it was revealed to councilmen yesterday.
The city has been asked for a 90-year lease on the property on which would be constructed a building 60 by 100 feet to serve as a general purpose armory. The building would be designed to serve both Company K and one other company, perhaps from Fullerton.
St. Jude Names Local Fund Group

After more than 10 months spent in periodic appearances before planning commission members and the city council, a local couple may now proceed with construction of a duplex upon their property.
The long, hard fight of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. (Mike) Krueger, 1248 East Center St., to construct a duplex on property in the 1200 block on the East Broadway extension, came to an end yesterday before City Council when that body voted to sustain a previous action of the planning commission.
Krueger had originally requested a change of zone from the existing R1- or single-family zone to one of R-2, which would enable the building of the duplex on the property facing the future Broadway Street. This was opposed by owners of adjacent property on the basis of lowering values through an R-2 zone.
Later pursued to withdraw his request for zone change, Krueger then requested variance to the ordinance from planners. After many lengthy hearings at which time complaints were filed by nearby residents, the request passed planners and won their approval.
Yesterday over the protest of a subdivision company, the Broadway-Santa Ana Co., the approval was given for construction of the building. Representatives of the Broadway-Santa Ana Co. had contended that their nearby subdivision would be damaged to the extent of some $500 per lot by proximity of the duplex.
Other action at yesterday regular council session saw awarding of the La Palma reservoir contract to the Penn Construction Co. of Baldwin Park for a total cost of $152,949. This includes all construction work other than purchase and installation of the motors and pumps for the plant.
This contract was awarded to a second-low bidder, the Wagner Pump Co. of Santa Ana for three electric pumps and two gasoline pumps. Bid price was set at $29-101. Acceptance of the Wagner bid came after a bid some $400 lower failed to meet agreed-upon specifications by the city.

The city's new parking lot at Clementine and Oak streets will accommodate more than 50 cars, and will be black-topped and striped for general free off-street parking. The new lot was purchased from funds accumulated from parking meters, parking meter fines and donations from nearby merchants.

SANTA ANA FLYEI
EL TORO MARINE AIR STATION — Major Roy H. Bley of the U.S. Marine corps one of the 107 American filers who were accused of germ warfare after their capture by the Communists, told a press conference today that he endured four months of torture before he signed a false confession in a POW camp late last January.
Corporating the charge hurled at the Russians in the United Nations Political Committee by Dr. Charles W. Mayo, U.S. delegate, Major Bley said that his 14 months as a prisoner of war were spent in solitary confinement. After four months, he finally broke under physical and mental torture, and after two days without food agreed to sign a false deposition.
"By that time," he said, "I was difficult to reason logically, and finally I couldn't figure out how it would hurt my car make a false statement. Iain the people of the States would be shown it."
Major Bley said he did any Russian men or women during his captivity, but loved them "and even more that the germ warfare accemmated from Russia, Communist Korea."
"It not only followed our party line, it saw Russian views," he said though I could not prove treatment and the charges were inspired by tsars."
Major Bley was captured Communists July 8, 1952, ing shot down over Korean subjected to only routine until September, 1953 the germ warfare charge...

PANMUNJOM, Korea (UP) — The Indian chairman of the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission announced today that four North Korean and Chinese prisoners had been murdered by fellow inmates in neutral zone camps.
Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya's announcement strengthened Red charges that fanatical anti-Communist agents were at work among the 22,000 Chinese and North Koreans who do not want to return home and were responsible for the breakdown in explanation talks.

Search Continues For Kidnap Victim
LA CROSSE, Wis. (UP) — The Wisconsin crime laboratory was expected to tell authorities today whether stains on underclothing found underneath a highway overpass are the blood of missing baby sitter Evelyn Hartley.
The underclothes were discovered under a Highway 14 underpass about two miles south of Evelyn's home yesterday. They were stained with what appeared to be blood.
Dist Atty. John Bosshard said authorities felt "sure" the garments were not under the bridge when the area was searched Monday.
This led to the belief that Evelyn's possible abductor may have thrown the garments from a car late Monday or early yesterday.
Evelyn, an attractive, 15-year-old high school honor student, disappeared Saturday night from a neighbor's home, where she was tending a 20-month-old baby.
Police say evidence indicates she was carried off by a sex maniac. Although no definite trace of her has been found, her mother has said "I'm afraid my baby is dead."

Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya's announcement strengthened Red charges that fanatical anti-Communist agents were at work among the 22,000 Chinese and North Koreans who do not want to return home and were responsible for the breakdown in explanation talks.
The Indian chairman of the five nation commission made his report in response to Communist charges that "agents" of Nationalist leader Chang Kai-shek and South Korean President Syngman Rhee were murdering and torturing prisoners who indicated they might return to Communism.
A commission spokesman said another prisoner had died a violent death in one of the compounds, but he was a "suspected suicide." Three other prisoners have died in the neutral camps, 10 of illness and three in riots quelled by Indian guards.
He said Indian guards were investigating the crimes and that those guilty, if discovered, would be tried under Indian military law.
Rulers of Greece Arrive in U.S.
NEW YORK (UP) — King Paul and Queen Frederika of Greece arrived today for a month long tour of the United States that will run a goodwill gamut from state dinner at the White House to fried chicken on an Illinois farm.
The handsome, strapping King and his perit, curly haired queen were invited here by President Eisenhower and will spend their first night in this country at the White House. The President sent his plane, the Columbine, to New York to fly them to Washington.
The royal couple arrived on the liner United States. With them were the Queen's brother, Prince Christian of Hanover, and the Greek foreign minister, Stefanos Stephanopoulos.
Thanks to America
The King and Queen, first crowned heads to visit America since President Eisenhower took office, will extend a friendly hello to 15 communities from coast to coast and-from New Orleans to the Canadian border.
Their stated purpose for the visit is to "give thanks in as direct and personal a way as possible"
Operator of Anaheim Bowling Alley Booked on Child Labor Law Cha
Operator of the Anaheim Bowling Center, Henry Melville was booked at the Orange County Jail yesterday afternoon counts of violating child labor laws.
The local business man, a resident of 121 South Rose taken into custody at 3:30 p.m. at his home by Sgt. Russ
The arrest came after lengthy investigation by welfare authorities concerning the hiring of juveniles by the local man to act as "pin setters" in his bowling alley here.
Sgt. Campbell told the Bulletin today that investigations are now under way on a number of other bowling alleys throughout the county where juveniles are said to be working.
The local investigation by child welfare authorities got under way when a 13-year-old boy failed to attend classes at his school. Investigation by school authorities disclosed that he assertedly had been working in the local bowling establishment until 3 a.m. and was too tired to go to school.
Upon his arrest, Loy is quoted by Sgt. Campbell, director of the Sheriff's juvenile bureau, as saying, "you're putting me out of business!" This ostensibly referred to the use of juveniles as pin setters rather than the employment of adults for the purpose, Campbell explained.
The local arrest is in the nature of a test case, authorities pointed out. Investigations have been conducted in every establishment of its kind in the county with several operators being warned by officers for the hiring of juveniles.
Sgt. Campbell referred to the law requiring a work permit to employ juveniles. He said Loy admitted the six or more boys named in

how it would hurt my country to make a false statement. I was certain the people of the United States would be shown it was a lie."
Major Bley said he did not see any Russian men or equipment during his captivity, but he believed then "and even more now," that the germ warfare accusations emanated from Russia, not just Communist Korea."
"It not only followed the Communist party line...it smacked of Russian views," he said, "even though I could not prove that our treatment and the charges against us were inspired by the Russians."
Major Bley was captured by the Communists July 8, 1952, after being shot down over Korea. He was subjected to only routine questioning until September, 1952, when the germ warfare charge was made against him.
"I knew that the charge was false and ridiculous, but as questioning continued day by day it became apparent that it would be difficult to continue to deny charges under duress and coercion," he told the press.
Chinese Communist interrogators grilled him daily. He was confined in a mud cell, without heat, and supplied with a cotton POW uniform, cotton overcoat, and one blanket against the intense winter cold.
In mid-November, Major Bley was moved to an interneft camp on the Yalu River for a five weeks "thinking period." There was no questioning here — nothing but time to think. Temperatures were 20 degrees below zero at times. During one period of 10 days he was confined in a cell measuring about three feet by seven feet, with a ceiling only four and a half feet high. He had to crawl into the cell.
Usual rations to the POW were one cup of rice and one cup of turnips, twice daily. Sometimes there was water, sometimes not.
He was often beaten with fists or struck with the butt of a rifle, as angry interrogators tried to break him.
The break finally came when he had gone 48 hours without food. He was taken before a Communist tribunal and agreed to sign the false deposition.
Major Bley was repatriated on the last day of prisoner exchange, last Sept. 5 or 6. He was returned to this country and its now on recuperation leave. His family, including two young sons, reside in Santa Ana.
The press conference was called to permit Major Bley to tell his story at one time, and not be disturbed at his home.

Ucks From Center Street
Council Hears Reading of New Anaheim Ordinance
What—no trucks on Center street? This somewhat strange but long-awaited state of affairs is definitely in the offing with action begun by Anaheim City Council last night when they heard the first reading of an ordinance designed to remove heavy through-traffic from downtown Anaheim.
Invite Residents To Join Local Hospital Group
Anaheim is one step nearer its realization of a hospital today.
The action was taken as a last-ditch effort to rid the city of the noise, rumble and danger of the heavy through traffic from fast freighters and oil tankers on their way from the Harbor area to inland cities.
For some time, city officials have endeavored to enlist aid of State highway officials in re-routing the heavy through truck traffic to Orangethorpe Ave. When Center street recently reverted to city control, the ordinance limiting through trucks of 8000 pounds unladen weight or more from city streets

WASHINGTON (UP) — President Eisenhower said today he believes cattle prices have reached bottom and now will rise for the time being.
The President told a news conference that beef consumption is up 30 per cent over a year ago and the number of the nation's cattle will be smaller next Jan. 1 than a year earlier.
Mr. Eisenhower denied that he had refused to see some 350 cattlemen who were here yesterday and Monday urging the administration to support the price of live cattle at 90 per cent of parity. The President said he had told his advisers that he would be glad to meet with the cattlemen if the advisers thought it were desirable.
He said there was no suggestion made to him that he do so.
The caravan of 350 cattlemen from 32 states roiled homeward today determined to build up enough political pressure to force the administration to order price supports for beef on the hoof.
Invite Residents To Join Local Hospital Group
Anaheim is one step nearer its realization of a hospital today, with members now being invited to join the Mother Colony Hospital Association.
This was revealed by incorporators of the local hospital association as names of leading civic, business and industrial persons were added to the group which will form the original backing of the local hospital organization.
Need for a modern hospital in the Anaheim area to serve citizens from Santa Ana canyon and surrounding area, west to the Orange County line including Garden Grove, Cypress, Stanton, Buena Park and Los Alamitos is pointed out by the group.
Incorporators who include Louis Hoskins, temporary chairman; Mrs. Martha Schumacher, Fred Krein, Mrs. Sarah Pearson, Clyde Cromer, Dick Gay and A. J. Schutte, announced that articles of incorporation have been received from—the Secretary of State for the Mother Colony Hospital Association and that by-laws of the association have been adopted by the acting directors.
When a full compliment of 50 members of the association has been reached, an election will be held by members to determine permanent directors of the local group. At this time, the articles of incorporation will be made public through presentation to the press.
In the meantime, a bank account has been opened by officials of the hospital corporation and several donations have already been accepted. A full-scale participation by the community and remainder of Orange County to be served by the hospital will be announced at an early date, it was said.

For some time, city officials have endeavored to enlist aid of State highway officials in re-routing the heavy through truck traffic to Orangethorpe Ave. When Center street recently reverted to city control, the ordinance limiting through trucks of 8000 pounds unladen weight or more from city streets was written.

Brochures are being prepared by the administrative office of the city which will be sent to all Southern California truckers which will outline new routes circumventing Anaheim.

Reveal Plans for New Development Of Local Freeway
Latest plans of the state Highway Department for further development of Santa Ana Freeway between Anaheim and Santa Ana were disclosed in a freeway agreement signed between the state and the County of Orange, represented by Chairman Willis H. Warner, of the Board of Supervisors.
Grade separations at Ball Road, Harbor Blve., and Chapman Ave. and the proposed extension of Bristol Street and La Veta Ave. to a cloverleaf structure where they meet the freeway are provided under the new agreement.
Flower street, the "mad dash corner" in Santa Ana where numerous traffic accidents have occurred will be blocked off from the freeway. Flower street traffic will not be able to enter the freeway toward Los Angeles but must connect at Bristol Street. The Bristol - La Veta crossing of the freeway is favored by State engineers over the Flower street site.
The County has plans for extending Bristol street north from its present deadend at Garden Grove Blvd., to connect with Placentia Ave., and to meet an extension of La Veta Ave. at the freeway.

Mr. Eisenhower was asked why consideration was not being given to the consumer in the consideration of farm prices. He replied with some heat that the aim of the administration's farm program would be to look out for interests of all 160 million Americans.
The administration's new farm program will be fair to everybody, including consumers, he said.
He laughingly said that Mrs. Eisenhower had told him plenty about the increases in prices that housewives must pay.
Breakfast Ticket Sale To End Friday Night
The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce today stated that Costume Breakfast tickets will not be sold at the Anaheim City Park next Saturday morning.
All ticket's must be purchased before 9 o'clock Friday night when the orders for food will go to the chefs. To accommodate last minute ticket buyers, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce office, 136 N.

Dick Gay, ticket sales director, is predicting a sellout again this year for the spirited and colorful event. When 2000 tickets are gone, the sale must stop. Gay said, because the City Park plenic grounds cannot accommodate more than that number of people.
Gay advised Anaheimers to purchase tickets right now. They are on sale for $1.50 at Jackson Drug, SQR Store, Bank of America, J. C. Penney, Swanbergers, Security-First National Bank, and the Chamber of Commerce office.

The eminent space hopper, who is known to every Southern California kid from seven months to 70 years old, will be right at home in the "Out of This World" theme of this year's festival.
Captain Jet will forresake his space ship in favor of an ultra-modern car while he is in Anaheim. He will be outfitted in his most elaborate space suit.
Because it is impossible to hold a space flyer down, Captain Jet will jump into his car at 7 p.m. and take off along the parade route, leaving the slower paced parade behind.

Jury Finds Local Man Guilty on Dope Count
SANTA ANA — A jury in superior court here quickly rejected the plea of Pedro C. Calvo, 25, of Anaheim, that he was "framed" with a charge of having possession of a marijuana cigarette.
The jury deliberated only a few minutes yesterday in returning a verdict of guilty. Calvo is scheduled to appear for pronouncement of judgement by Superior Judge Robert Gardner on Friday at 9:30 a.m.
Calvo was arrested at an American Legion dance here last Sept. 19, when a Santa Ana officer found the cigaret in his coat pocket.
It must have been planted there. Calvo protested, pointing out there had been two occasions during the evening when he had laid his coat down and someone could have inserted the cigaret. One was in an Anaheim pool hall, the other at the Legion dance.
Calvo's record was placed before the jury. He was sentenced in 1950 to San Quentin for possession or use of marijuana, and is on parole after serving part of his sentence.
