The City Planning Commission voted yesterday to recommend to City Council that proceedings be commenced to annex 768.59 acres Part of City Approximately 1668 acres will be brought within the city limits of Anaheim if two new annexation petitions are successful. The City Planning Commission voted yesterday to recommend to City Council that proceedings be commenced to annex 768.59 acres south of the city to be known as the Disneyland Annexation, and approximately 900 acres west of the present city limits to be known as the West Anaheim Annexation. The Disneyland Annexation was instigated at the request of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, and Disneyland officials to bring into the city the 160-acre Disneyland site, however, when a canvass was made of property owners surrounding the area, it was covered that the majority favored annexation at this time, so the annexation was expanded to include 768.59 acres. Boundaries Stated The boundaries of the area involved are roughly described as Winston Road on the north and continuing in a straight line west to Walnut street, thence south to Herritos avenue, west to a point midway between Euclid avenue and Ninth street, then west to Euclid just north of the railroad tracks, south along Euclid to Katella avenue, thence east, excluding approximately 20 acres on the north side of Katella, near the intersection of Euclid, and continuing east along Katella to Haster street, then north along the west side of Manchester avenue, then east in a straight line with Midway Drive, but excluding Midway Drive, to South Los Angeles street, then west along the existing city limits to Winston Road. The West Anaheim Annexation is most easily described as involving all property between Ball Road and La Palma avenue and the western city limits and Webster and Gilbert streets to the west, excluding the 815 acres now in the process of being annexed and known as the Orange Avenue Annexation. The western boundary extends north in a line just east of Webster avenue from Ball Road to near Orange avenue where it juts west to touch Webster, then east along Orange to Gilbert and north to West La Palma avenue.

French Repulse Rear On Indo-China Coast HANOI, Indochina (UP)—The Communists threw 3000 troops into a surprise attack against a French base in Central Indochina but were beaten off with 300 killed, the French High Command announced today. The attack was made against Tuy Hoa, on the Annam Coast north of Nhatrang and 230 miles northeast of Salgon. The French said four Communist battalions swarmed against two Viet Namese battalions guarding Tuy Hoa during the night of Sunday and Monday. A high command spokesman said the Viet Nam units fought "magnificently despite the fiercest assaults." He said 300 enemy dead were counted after the attackers withdrew. Tuy Hoa was seized by Franco-Viet Nam soldiers in an amphibious landing operation this spring as part of "Operation Atlante," designed to free some three million persons from Communist rule in an 800 square mile area. Due to troop shortages during the siege of Dien Bien Phu and subsequent orders to reinforce the vital Red River Delta to the north, the operation was virtually abandoned but Tuy Hoa was held.

It was the longest non-stop flight yet made by jet-powered aircraft. The distance was roughly equal to that between Los Angeles and Moscow. The six-jet bombers took off on their historic trans-Pacific hop from the March Air Force Base near San Bernardino, about 50 miles east of Los Angeles. Refueled three times by tanker planes, they made the flight in approximately 15 hours for an average speed of 446 miles per hour. Maj. Gen. Walter C. Sweeney, commander of the 15th Air Force, led the three-plane flight which landed at this bomber base near Tokyo. Sweeney lauded the B-47 as a "pilot's airplane." He said the medium bomber "handles like a fighter." Sweeney said the B-47s, first ever seen in the Far East, would remain in the Tokyo area "a couple of days" and then visit other bases in the Far East. He refused to identify these other bases. Crewmen pointed out that no attempt was made to set any speed records. The B-47 is considered the Western world's fastest bomber, in the 600-mile plus per hour class. During the flight, the bombers reached a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet. Arrest Marie McCarthy While Under Influence HOLLYWOOD, Calif.

AMA SAYS SMOKING SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — Dr. Charles Cameron, medical and scientific director of the American Cancer Society, predicted the nation's smoking habits will change as a result of a study showing a link between cigarets, lung cancer and heart disease. Cameron and two other prominent researchers reported to the American Medical Association convention Monday that cigarette smoking "certainly shortens", the life expectancy of Americans. In particular, they reported that more men who are regular smokers die of cancer and heart disease than non-smoking men. They stressed that they based their re-port on a "chain of circuevidence." "I do believe we'll see in smoking habits amon and some change in the habits of the American peoin a year," Cameron said. The cancer society rereflected this morning by drop in the prices oshares on the New York change. Losses ranged than $1 a share with a ing much wider losses lows for the year. One Chance in 50 Cameron said a 50-year who smokes a pack or cigarettes a day has twice likelihood of dying within CLAIM GAINS Forces Threaten Capture Of Vital Railway Link TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, — Anti-Communist Guatemalan rebel forces today opened a major drive for control of the Puerto Barrios-Guatemala City Railway, linking the capital with its principal Caribbean port. Rebel headquarters claims, and admissions in a government communique indicated, that the rebel forces now threaten a 45-mile section of the railway, about 25 miles inside the country from the Honduras frontier, and extending from Morales to Gualan. A major battle appeared to be shaping up for control of the important rail center of Zacapa, 75 miles from the Guatemalan capital, and 20 miles west of Gualan where one battle already has been fought. Rebels Claim Gains The rebels claimed they have captured and hold 18 towns in their drive to overthrow the leftist regime of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman. But the main effort obviously centered along the railway, the nation's sole railway line extending from the Caribbean to the Pacific Coast through Guatemala City. The rebel forces were pressing the fight after expiration of an ultimatum to President Arbenz demanding unconditional surrender before 2 p.m. yesterday. LEGION HEAD — Mike Michelle, popular Anaheim city employee ardent member of Anaheim Post 72, American Legion, was installed as Post Commander in im APPOINTED — Ernest Paul Herner Jr., grandson of Mrs. Sally Maude Adams of 416 South Olive St. and son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Paul Herner of 122 East Puente, Covina has been appointed to the United States Naval Academy at Anapolis, Md.

Mundt Asks for Lists of Key Issues To Be Decided in McCarthy Hearings WASHINGTON (P)—Acting Chairman Karl E. Mundt asked members of the Senate Investigating subcommittee today to submit lists spelling out key issues they think must be decided in the Army-McCarthy fight. The South Dakota Republican asked the members to bring the lists to a secret subcommittee meeting called to try to agree on at least some of the issues to be covered in a forthcoming report on the 36-day Army-McCarthy hearings. Mundt said the lists would help guide Special Counsel Ray H. Jenness drive to overthrow the leftist regime of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman. But the main effort obviously centered along the railway, the nation's sole railway line extending from the Caribbean to the Pacific Coast through Guatemala City. The rebel forces were pressing the fight after expiration of an ultimatum to President Arbenz demanding unconditional surrender before 2 p.m. yesterday. Reports of Battle The official Guatemalan radio said a battle had been fought between regular and rebel forces at Bananera, the site of an airfield near Morales. The government also admitted the rebels had pushed to Gualan, some 25 miles inside Guatemala from Honduras and an important rail center. A government communique claimed that rebel land forces had been driven out of the port city of Puerto Barrios, which they held briefly, and that the rebel schooner Siesta loaded with rebel arms and ammunition was captured. Independent shipping sources confirmed that the government controls the port. Concedes Casualties The Guatemalan announcement conceded, however, that heavy government casualties had been suffered in the fighting for the Caribbean port which is the terminus of the railway. The rebels claimed to have won control of the famed town of Esquipulas, site of the "black Christ" statue built on commission from (Continued on page 3) Robertshaw Plans Plant Dedication Here Tomorrow Senior Army, Navy and Air Force officers will join more than 100 business and civic leaders here tomorrow noon for ceremonies dedicating a $1,500,000 division of the Robertshaw-Fulton Controls Company.

Guests will tour part of the plant following the outdoor ceremony and luncheon. Located off the Santa Ana Freeway at Euclid Avenue, the plant covers a 21 acre site that was formerly an orange grove. It has 83,000 square feet of floor space. WASHINGTON (P)—Acting Chairman Karl E. Mundt asked members of the Senate Investigating subcommittee today to submit lists spelling out key issues they think must be decided in the Army-McCarthy fight. The South Dakota Republican asked the members to bring the lists to a secret, subcommittee meeting called to try to agree on at least some of the issues to be covered in a forthcoming report on the 36-day Army-McCarthy hearings. Mundt said the lists would help guide Special-Counsel Ray H. Jenkins in assembling evidence for the report. He said Jenkins had agreed to "stick with the job" and help prepare the report if the subcommittee authorizes him to continue work. Mundt said if members of the strife-torn subcommittee can agree on at least some of the issues to be covered, "I hope we will have some unanimity on what the facts disclose. It will increase the prospects, at least." "I am completely sure," Mundt conceded, "that certain segments (of the report) will not be unanimous." He said that when the report gets into the question of motive for various actions on each side in the dispute, for instance, there are sure to be wide differences. Last Rites Scheduled For John Harpster Last rites will be conducted for Capt. John Harpster Thursday at 10 a.m. from the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel. Harpster's tragic death occurred when his jet plane crashed near Commerce, Ga. His body was brought home the first of this week to be laid rest in Loma Vista cemetery where Air Force Military services will be held. Officiating at the services Thursday in the mortuary chapel will be the Rev. Frank Butterworth, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church of which Captain Harpster was a member. BANK DEBITS Ansaheim bank debits yesterday totaled $146,768.33, according to figures compiled today by local banks. The cancer society report was reflected this morning by a sharp drop in the prices of tobacco shares on the New York Stock Exchange. Losses ranged to more than $1 a share with a few showing much wider losses and new rows for the year. One Chance in 50 Cameron said a 50-year-old man who smokes a pack or more of cigarettes a day has twice as much likelihood of dying within 18 months as the 50-year-old man who has never smoked. He said the man of 50 who smokes a pack or more a day has about one chance in 50 of dying within a year and a half. But the non-smoker has about one chance in 100 of dying in the same period. Cameron and his associates, Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, director of the Cancer Society's Statistical Research Division, and Dr. Daniel Horn, assistant statistics research director, said they themselves have given up smoking cigarets. Cameron advised teenagers not to smoke and said the society would advise parents to try to keep their children from smoking. The report indicated that smoking does not necessarily show its effects until after "20 or 30 years" of smoking a pack a day. In the case of a heart ailment, smoking "may be the thing that would push a person over the ledge." The three researchers said they felt their study is "so conclusive" that the big problem now is to find out the agent in cigarets that accounts for the higher death rate. "It could be the type of tobacco or whether a person inhales," Hammond said. He added he would "guess" that the tar in cigarets is an agent. At any rate, there is a real possibility now of finding the causes of cancer and eliminating them," he said.
