Government spokesmen blamed Communists and other extremist elements for provoking the bloody clashes between students and troops during the past two days. The dead included 12 students, two soldiers and one woman. More than 20 persons were wounded. Among restrictions announced by the government Wednesday night were a 10 p.m. curfew and a ban on all public meetings. All restaurants, night clubs, bars and movie theaters were closed. The first clash, in which one student was killed, occurred Tuesday during a student commemoration of a similar incident 25 years ago. Fourteen died in Wednesday's clash which came when hundreds of students staged a protest march toward the center of the city. Three blocks from the presidential palace they found their way blocked by army troops. When the students ignored orders to halt, the troops opened fire.

He told his news conference last Wednesday that he would take every opportunity to discuss it with members of Congress and the public. Vice President Richard M. Nixon and House Speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr. (Mass.) are among the other guests scheduled to speak on tonight's program. Santa Anan Arraigned For Killing Woman SANTA ANA, (OCNS) — Preliminary hearing for Samuel F.

Joseph R. McCarthy testified today that Army counselor John G. Adams warned him last January that the McCarthy subcommittee might we “wrecked” if it didn’t cancel sub-penas for members of the Army Loyalty Board. He charged that Adams used a “combination of salesmanship and threats” in a “blackmail” attempt to get him to abandon efforts to call members of the board before the subcommittee for questioning. McCarthy charged that the threats were made the night of Jan. 22, when Adams spent three hours visiting McCarthy’s home. He said Adams warned he would release a report charging that Roy M. Cohn, McCarthy’s chief counsel, was using “improper influence” to get special treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine, unpaid McCarthy subcommittee consultant until he was drafted last Nov. 3. McCarthy called it Adams’ boldest threat.” “He told me,” said McCarthy, “that it (the Cohn)Schine report) might wreck the committee… that it would be better to cancel the call to the loyalty board members than wreck the committee.” The “blackmail” charge against Adams, which the Army counselor has previously denied under oath, was the high point of McCarthy’s direct testimony at the 31st day of the Army-McCarthy hearings. Special counsel Ray H. Jenkins, who began his friendly direct examination of McCarthy late yesterday, ended that phase just when the hearing recessed for lunch. McCarthy faced cross-examination by Jenkins in the afternoon session.

Disneyland Annexation Presented to Council A petition bearing 21 signatures of property owners present of directors yesterday afternoon levied a $3.50 per acre foot water assessment on the county's 4000 wells to replenish fast-fading water supply in the area. The board estimated that it will take $693,000 to purchase replenishment water in the upcoming year. The levy is expected to provide the sum. It is the first time such an action has been taken in the county. Anticipated extraction from county wells in 1954-55 is set at approximately 220,000 acre feet. That figure will include both native water and water brought in from the Colorado river. Tremendous increase in population and lack of rainfall have caused the county's water supply to sink to dangerous level. Overdraft of 71,000 acre feet for instance, was recorded during the past year. Colorado River water will be piped into the county and be allowed to sink into underground aquifers, mixing with the native supply, it was explained. More than 80,000 acre feet of water is necessary to "Hold the line." Current county water levels range from 15.8 to about 40 feet below sea level. Police Seek Suspects Who Slashed Marine SANTA ANA, (OCNS) — Police here have set out a dragnet for a group of Mexicans who last night badly slashed an El Toro Marine and left him bleeding in a downtown alley. Private First Class John H. Dodd was found late last night, some time after he became involved in an argument over a shuffleboard game in a local bar. Dodd was taken to the base hospital at El Toro where his condition was described as "good," this morning. Disneyland Annexation Presented to Council A petition bearing 21 signatures of property owners was presented to the City Council last night to start annexation proceedings of approximately 800 acres southwest of the city to be known as the Disneyland Annexation. Instigated by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at the request of Disneyland officials, Ernest Moeller, manager of the local chamber told the Councilmen that sufficient residents within the proposed annexation have expressed a desire to be included in the large annexation. The area effected is roughly described as lying south of the property proposed for the Ball Road No. 2 annexation, extending west to Euclid avenue and east along Katella avenue to the freeway and north to Ball Road but excluding certain parcels of land therein. The Councilmen approved the motion to refer the matter to the City Planning Commission for study, notification and details.

But he added at his weekly news conference that the United States is in a truly serious situation as far as the Communist world threat is concerned.

The President went on to say, however, that he thinks his military budget is now large enough. Mr. Eisenhower was asked whether he thought it would be feasible to ask Congress, before it adjourns, to vote him standby authority to intervene in Incochina if he deems intervention necessary. Would Ask Congress He replied that he has no such plan at this moment. He said any such thing would have to come up at the crest of some crisis. He again gave reassurance that he would ask Congress for authority before committing U.S. force in Indochina. On other subjects, Mr. Eisenhower told reporters: 1. He still supports all Republican candidates as a basic principle because he believes the President's party should have control of Congress if it is to be responsible. But he added that he hoped the reporter who asked the question would not be specific as to candidates because it might be embarrassing to the President. 2. He believes the United States should give its Allies more military atomic information. Secret Information 3. He considers that reserve officers of the armed services, as well as those on active duty, commit a reprehensible act when they participate in the unauthorized distribution of secret and confidential information. The name of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) was not mentioned either by the question or the answer about reserve officers. McCarthy is a reserve officer in the Marine Corps. 4. The President has not abandoned the Randall Commission's program calling for a three-year extension of the reciprocal trade agreements law with authority for the President to cut tariffs an additional 15 per cent. He said he is going along with a one-year extension only to give Congress more time to study controversial features of the Randall proposals. He denied emphatically that he has agreed to any provision that would bar him from making any further trade agreements during $1000 FOR GIRL SCOUT CAMP—Wayne Butterbaugh, (seated right) president of the Anaheim Girl Scout permanent camp development fund, with Ray Link, (seated left) Kiwanis vice president witnessing the act.

'Rube Goldberg' Type Contraption Fails Man in Attempted Suicide LOS ANGELES (UP)—A man with a bizarre imagination seriously wounded himself in at apparent suicide attempt with a home-made "Rube Goldberg" type death contraction, police reported today. Wounded in the chest by the weird and complicated rig last night was Ralph Shubert, 24-year-old unemployed father. Police said Shubert had first spread gasoline about his house last night while his wife, Jeanette, and his three small children were away. He then turned on gas jets on the stove and ignited the gasoline. At this point, he apparently sat down in a chair and subjected himself to his "death machine." Detectives reconstructed the fantastic event as follows: 1. Shubert bolted a .38 caliber pistol to a board and screwed the board to a coffee table. 2. He tied one end of a 10-yard piece of gauze to the pistol trigger and the other end to a mixmaster in the kitchen to facilitate the firing of all the gun's bullets. 3. He tied two heavy window sashweights together and attached them to threads hanging from a spot on the wall above a chair at which the gun was pointed. When the fire started, Shubert apparently turned on the mixer, raced to the chair and sat down either to be shot by the pistol or have the flames burn the threads and drop the weights upon his head. But things didn't go as apparently planned, detectives said. The gauze broke after the first shot and the bullet struck Shubert in the shoulder and embedded itself in his chest. He staggered outside the burning house and neighbors summoned police.
