The results also presents a drastic change to the proposed budget Ike, Churchill Call for World Arms Reduction By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer WASHINGTON (UP)—President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Winston Churchill today called for a "general and drastic reduction" of world armament designed to apply atomic knowledge to human betterment rather than destruction. The President and the 79-year-old Prime Minister issued a philosophic statement of the Anglo-American approach to the problem of halting Communism, but avoided specific reference to such international hot spots as Indochina. Their "agreed declaration" was issued by the White House about an hour after they had concluded a series of talks which began last Friday. Reduction of Arms The two leaders said they felt "the cause of world peace would be advanced by general and drastic reduction under effective safeguards of world armaments of all classes and kinds." "It will be our perservering resolve to promote conditions in which the prodigious nuclear forces now in human hands can be used to enrich and not to destroy mankind." They urged "the establishment and maintenance of such associations of appropriate nations as will best, in their respective regions, preserve the peace and the independence of the peoples living there."

The results also presents a drastic change to the proposed budget tentatively set up on the success of the election and based on the 34 cents needed to operate the three schools within the district, stated administrators. The schools are Anaheim High School, and the new Western and Fremont Junior High schools. A delay granted the district in presentation of the proposed 1984-55 budget to the county superintendent's office was approved by the trustees in a called session following election returns report last night. "Roughly the $198,000 which would have been forthcoming providing the proposed tax ceiling had been approved will have to be eliminated on the new budget. We cannot spend money we do not have," said administrators. A skeleton budget of income against immediate needs will be presented and from that point the board of trustees will proceed, pointed out business administrators. This problem will be met July 1 when old and new trustees meet at 1 p.m. At that time, Art Shipkey, retiring president of the board will install the two new trustees, Rex Coons and Al Holve, previously sworn into their offices.

Bernard, says the disturbance broke out at breakfast this morning when a 15-year-old girl threw a box of cereal at a guard. Approximately 40 boys and girls were in the dining hall at the time. The ensuing brawl was carried out into the play yard that surrounds the girls quarters of the institution. Two girls climbed to the roof and refused the pleas of counselors and guards to come down.

The brawl began shortly after in Guatemala today in a bloodless coup and promptly began a sweeping roundup of all Communists. Many of them were being herded into jails recently emptied of anti-Communist political prisoners of the government of Jacobo Arbenz Guzman the pro-Red former President who resigned. Monzon, heading the fourth government this revolt-torn nation has had in 36 hours, announced that all Communists have been fired from the jobs they held in the Arbenz government. To Deal With Rebels He also announced his willingness to deal with anti-Communist rebel forces, driving westward into Guatemala from the Honduras frontier under leadership of Col. Carlos Castillo Armaz. Monzon's coup d'etat, carried out early today, toppled from power the two-days old junta of Col. Carlos Enrique Diaz, on which Monzon himself had served. Diaz had refused to deal with Col. Castillo's rebels and had refused to oust and arrest Communist members of the former government as demanded in an ultimatum from Castillo. Diaz did, be-latedly, outlaw the Communist party which had endorsed him earlier. Communists Flee Monzon's purge of Communists apparently was complete. Many fled into asylum in foreign embassies. Others scurried to flee the capital. Six hundred anti-Communists imprisoned by Arbenz were freed. The Communist daily paper Tribuna Popular was closed. Communist party headquarters was placed under heavy military guard but not a member had turned up at midday. The turnover in power was rapid and a surprise to most observers.

(UP)—Blonde June Haver, who once gave up Hollywood to become a nun, and actor Fred MacMurray were married Monday night before a judge in a surprise hotel room ceremony. The petite actress and MacMurray, widower since a year ago, slipped away to this valley resort to catch Hollywood off base. Although the wedding was expected, friends didn't think it would take place until next week. The civil ceremony meant Miss Haver can no longer practice her religion in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Her efforts to obtain the church's consent to the marriage had failed. It ruled she was still married to musician Jimmy Zito even though the union ended in a divorce. The church does not recognize divorces of Catholic marriages. Only last year Miss Haver gave up studies to become a nun, saying the physical strain was too great. Monday night's ceremony took place in the room of Dr. and Mrs. Don Burger, owners of the Ojai Valley Inn, before Superior Judge Charles Blackstock. MacMurray, 45, whose first wife died a year ago, slipped a circle of diamonds on the finger of his blonde 27-year-old bride. She gave him a plain gold band. He had given her a diamond solitaire when the engagement was revealed a month ago. Later the bride and groom and a small group of friends and relatives celebrated with champagne. Then the couple took off on a motor honeymoon through Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. They told friends they might visit actor John Wayne, a close friend, at his movie location at St. George, Utah, then the newly-weds will travel to Jackson Hole, Wyo., where MacMurray reports for a film July 6. The nuptials caught Hollywood off base. Friends of the couple had expected them to marry next weekend as they drove to the Wyoming location. The press was informed of the marriage by MacMurray's business manager, Bo Roos, who was best man. Mrs. Roos served as matron-of-honor. The only guests were the couple's families, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Ottestad, June's mother and step-father, and Mrs. Belinda MacMurray, Fred's mother. MacMurray and the actress met shortly after her return from a Knasas convent last fall and began keeping steady company. She had entered the convent following the death of her fiance, Dr. John Duzik. After the ceremony, the newly-weds phoned MacMurray's sons. The new family will live in a Brentwood home which MacMurray purchased recently.
