INJURED IN COUNTY TRAD Daily-Herald Orange County Plain Dealer ☆☆☆ EIM Evenings Except Sundays ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, MAY 10, 1954 VOL XXXI NO. 222 From AUHS School Board Race Reds Agree To Remove French Injured From Fort GENEVA (UP) — The Communist Indochinese Viet Minh agreed belatedly today to evacuate the "seriously wounded" French Union forces from the shattered north Indochinese fortress of Dien Bien Phu, overrun and conquered Friday. The Communists suggested that arrangements for the evacuation of wounded could be made on the spot in Indochina between the French Union and Communist Throws Support Behind Candidates Holve, Co Jack Polley, registered candidate for post on the Union High School Board of Trustees, today revealed his view from the trustee race and announced his support of candidate Holve and Rex Coons. In a letter to the Bulletin, Polley, strongly protesting Report Attempts To Buy Horton GENEVA (UP) — The Communist Indochinese Viet Minh agreed belatedly today to evacuate the "seriously wounded" French Union forces from the shattered north Indochinese fortress of Dien Bien Phu, overrun and conquered Friday. The Communists suggested that arrangements for the evacuation of wounded could be made on the spot in Indochina between the French Union and Communist sides. The Communists announced they were willing to join in a "mercy mission" at the opening of the second session of the formal, nine nation Indochina Peace Conference. 56 Day Battle Although the French stronghold fell on Friday after 56 days of siege and was overrun by thousands of Viet Minh Communists, it was believed possible as many as 1000 French wounded still may be in the fortress' underground hospitals and dressing stations. For weeks, prior to its fall, the French had appealed to "the conscience of the civilized world" for a mercy truce to permit removal of the wounded. The Russians and their Communist allies insisted that the matter could not be discussed before the general Indochina conference opened. That was on Saturday, one day after the Reds' attacks had crushed the defenders. Deadlock Removed Details of the evacuation were not discussed here. It was not clear whether French planes would be permitted to land on the Dien Bien Phu airstrip to carry out the evacuation or if some other arrangement would be made. Neither was there any indication given of the number of wounded to be removed. A threat that the Indochina conference might be deadlocked before it even got underway was removed earlier today. Russia agreed not to press a Soviet demand that two nonexistent Communist "governments" be seated as delegates to the peace conference.

Report Attempts To Buy Horton Aircraft Company NEWPORT BEACH (OCNS) — Two separate attempts to purchase the Horton Wingless Airplane recently have been made, but William Horton, Orange County designer and builder of the "Flying Wonder" has no intention of selling, despite an injunction obtained by the Securities Exchange Commission which prohibits selling of stock. The ban on financial operations of the Horton Aircraft corporation comes to Federal court hearing next Monday, when SEC lawyers will attempt to show that sale of the stock is "fraudulent," while Horton company lawyers will argue that the experimental wingless airplane is airworthy, has flown more than 20 hours and is even subject of intense interest by another branch in the US government, the Air Force. Horton, who lives in Huntington Beach and built the first model of his revolutionary new airplane at Orange County Airport, has been invited by the Air Force to display and fly the craft at Long Beach Municipal airport next Saturday during observance of Armed Forces Day. An official of the corporation, which was organized under Nevada law, said today that no negotiations are underway for sale of the company, but that Horton had been approached by a group of Los Angeles attorneys acting on what he and associates think is behalf of an airplane manufacturing concern. The other query came from a business brokerage firm which they believe also represents efforts of one of the "majors" to buy up the revolutionary type plane.

Bayon to Seek Reason for Holdup in Centralia School Building Program Charging apparent unwarranted interference on the part of state office of school planning in erection school building, LeRoy E. Lyon, State Assemblyman for the district, met Saturday evening with Centralia School Board and promised to track down the cause of delay in Centralia's build program. Bayon will ask for specific reasons at Centralia's plan have not been驳 by the State Office at a meeting called for 3 p.m. Thursday at the office of the County Superintendent of Schools in Santa Ana, which will be attended by supervising Field Representative Charles D. Gibson, and Field Representative John Branigan of the School Planning Division of Public School Administration, the Centralia School Board, Architect Harold Grimeno and Lyon. He will ask why the state office lists on certain types of lighting, heating, window construction, areas, which are apparently being insisted upon over vigorous objection of the School Board, School administrator and their employed shitect when none of the items listed upon the State Office are necessary for compliance with earthquake, fire, or panic safety regulations, he said today. Lyon is Chairman of Education Subcommittee on Public School Construction and was asked last Tuesday by Glen H. Dysinger, Centralia School Superintendent, to consult with the School Board to see what could be done to expedite approval of their plans. The Office of School Planning in Los Angeles has refused to approve many of the elements in the plan submitted to the Division of Architecture and approved by the Board of Trustees of Centralia for the proposed six classrooms and kindergarten which were voted Jan. 5. Many school districts with similar problems have reported a tendency to overrule local boards and administrators on the part of the state office of school planning, Lyon said. "Many school boards who attempt to exercise their local responsibility and autonomy to the fullest are meeting with a great deal of resistance from the Office of School Planning," Lyons said, which he feels is not in keeping with the spirit of the law or tradition of California Public School organizations.

No Demonstrations Queen Elizabeth stepped ashore from the royal yacht Britannia to a crashing salute of 21 guns and three cheers from massed troops. But in Spain where Generalisimo Francisco Franco has demanded the return of Gibraltar by Britain the visit was ignored. Threatened demonstrations did not materialize. Instead the Spanish policy seemed to be studied indifference to the visit of the Queen which the Spanish had denounced in advance as an insult to their nation.
