The vote came on a motion by R. J. Allen "That the Anaheim Toastmasters Club withdraw its representation from the Anaheim Citizens Advisory Committee, due to its deviation from the original intent for which the Committee was formed." This action was taken after Toastmaster representative C. O. Garshwiler reported on the failure of the Committee to accomplish any positive results, and "its current political activity." The Citizen's group was formed almost a year ago to conduct a survey of textbooks in Anaheim High school to determine if any were of "subversive" nature. Garshwiler has represented the Toastmaster's Club on the committee since the group was formed, but last night's unanimous action removed Garshwiler from membership in the ACAC. Walter Knott won the weekly trophy, in the speaking portion of the program with his description of "Our Changing Business Morals", which described the improved relations of business to their customers. Bill Lenahan gave his "Ice Breaker" speech, with the novel presentation of pictures to illustrate his talk, followed by Louis Taylor presenting "More on Juvenile Delinquency". Jim Lepper closed the program with word sketches of the life of "F. B. (Bret) Harte".

E ASSAULTS Rebels Only 500 Yards From Fort Headquarters HANOI, Indo-China (P)—Shouting Red rebels drove to positions less than 500 yards from Brig. Gen. Christian de Castries' underground headquarters today and a second Communist force overran another strongpoint on Dien Bien Phu's western flank. The massive new rebel assault brought the Communists closer than ever to the nerve center operated by de Castries, hero and commander of the beleaguered French Union bastion in Northwest Viet Nam. The French promptly mustered reserves and mounted a counterattack, battling in slimy, knee deep mud in an effort to regain the lost position. French authorities did not pinpoint the Reds' latest success, but it was indicated that the Communists took the western outpost nicknamed Huguette, the fourth to fall since Saturday. The fanatical Indo - Chinese Communists hit Dien Bien Phu's western flank after early morning rebel attacks on two eastern strongpoints failed. A news blackout covered the rebel advance on de Castries' nerve center, but officials said the Communists were closer than the 500-yard point reached last Sunday in suicide assaults.

Poneer Family Into Woman All Breckinridge, millionaire son today he planned to go to Denmea a woman so he could return former Vice President Gen. John Week's Silver Bonus Pot Totals $140 Residents of the Greater Joseph R. McCarthy offered today to take the witness chair immediately in the investigation of his row with the Army. Democratic members of the Investigating Subcommittee balked, however, and efforts to speed up the hearings collapsed for the time being. A proposal to stop the questioning of Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens was broached by Republican members of the subcommittee. They have been under administration pressure to cut short the televised spectacle, now in its ninth day. Fewer "Principals" This proposal called for reducing the number of "principals" in the investigation from six to two. The Democrats refused to go along. As the subcommittee wrangled publicly about who was responsible for the delay—a haggle which delayed testimony for more than an hour — these high points were developed: 1. Army special counsel Joseph N. Welch reiterated his belief that if McCarthy were called as the next witness after Stevens, the hearings could be ended with testimony by two more witnesses "at most." Welch identified these as Francis P. Carr, staff director of McCarthy's subcommittee, and Roy M. Cohn, the subcommittee chief counsel. Both are principals against whom the Army brought charges, along with McCarthy. Delayed Investigation 2. McCarthy offered to have H. Struve Hensel, assistant defense secretary, removed as one of the principals on the Army side of the row, but only on the understanding that Hensel would be subject to a later investigation. 3. Frederick V.P. Bryan, Hendaken out of the case only if McCarthy admitted he was included in "error" in the first place. McCarthy snapped he was "not in error." 4. McCarthy blamed the Army for the failure to arrive at a formula to shorten the hearings. "It appears Mr. Welch has welshed on an agreement he has made," McCarthy said. "Apparently the people who instigated these hearings are now trying to prolong them." This was because Welch was not agreeable to ending the Army's case without calling to the stand Cohn and Carr as well as McCarthy. Welch had said yesterday that if McCarthy would take the stand after Stevens, he would be willing to rest the Army cases with just two more witnesses. But Lt. Gov. Powers to Present Awards To Scouts Here Lt. Gov. Harold J. Powers will present high awards to some 30 Boy Scouts at a Court of Honor session to be conducted in the auditorium of Anaheim Union High School. Friday at 8 p.m., it was announced here.
