Orange County’s Needy-Aged Get $69.95 Per Month Orange county’s $69.95 aid per needy aged person during May, 1950, was 60 per cent higher than the $43.69 national average payment during April; 1950 (latest nationwide data available), California Taxpayers’ association said today.

The huge tanks roared out of an early morning fog, crushing U.S. machineguns and light artillery positions. Behind them, red troops—possibly a division strong pressed the attack. General MacArthur’s communique, which is usually 12 to 24 hours behind field reports, said “American forces . . . are continuing their action to stabilize the situation by stopping the North Korean offensive above the Kum river.” It was issued at 12:05 a.m. (9:05 a.m. EST, Tuesday). Reports of new North Korean atrocities mounted. A check of front line accounts showed 18 U.S. soldiers had been shot through the head after their hands were bound behind them. Farm Bureau OKs Plan on County Water Powerful impetus to the movement for annexing all of Orange county in the Metropolitan Water District was given today when agricultural interests, as represented by the Orange county Farm Bureau, accepted the plan “in principal” and recommended it to the consideration of local farm centers. Retention of the Orange county Water district as an independent entity to continue its present role of protecting Orange county water rights and developing new water supply was stated as one of the conditions attached to acceptance of the plan. Designation of three delivery points for untreated MWD water A dash into the path of an on-coming automobile netted a bump on the head yesterday for little Tony Lopez, 3, 427 South Helena. The accident occured in the Chestnut Parking lot. Report field with Anaheim Police stated that Tony ran from between two parked cars into the path of the approaching automobile.

Bureau, accepted the plan "in principal" and recommended it for the consideration of local farm centers. Retention of the Orange county Water district as an independent entity to continue its present role of protecting Orange county water rights and developing new water supply, was stated as one of the conditions attached to acceptance of the plan. Designation of three delivery points for untreated MWD water to the county; also was a condition. One of these points would be the Santiago Canyon dam, terminus of a suggested new Vlae Star Canyon feeder line. The untreated water would be received for irrigation. Also attached to the Farm Bureau's recommendation was the suggested "advisability" for establishing a system of financial charges for pumping of water from the underground basin as one means of paying for the cost of its replehishment. Metering of pumps has been suggested as one method of collecting from users for water expected from the basin. The Farm Bureau announcement made through Secretary C. J. Marks, followed several months of study and conferences between local water interests and MWD officials, who are believed favorable to the plan of annexing the entire county except certain fringe areas, including; it is believed, the southerly end of the county. Plan to include virtually all of the county in the MWD annexation program developed after a movement had been started a few months ago to annex five Orange county cities and certain agricultural territory. It was finally decided to expand the program and include the whole area. The Farm Bureau approval is believed to assure success of this plan. Nation at Glance Congress Kills Truman Plan For Health Dept. (By The Associated Press) WASHINGTON—Rallying to a call of "no socialized medicine," Congress has killed President Truman's plan to create a Department of Health, Education and Security. The death blow to Mr. Truman's proposal that could have made Oscar Ewing a cabinet member was dealt yesterday by the House. By 249 votes to 71 it passed a resolution vetoing the proposal to transfer all agencies of the Federal Security Agency (FSA) to a new Department of Health, Education and Security. Major agencies involved were the Social Security Administration, the Office of Education and the Public Health Service. Ewing heads the FSA; and was generally believed to be in line to become a cabinet officer had Congress not rejected the reshuffling. CHICAGO—Leaders of three railroad brotherhoods resumed discussions today on the feasibility of calling a strike of some 250,000 members against the nation's carriers. The unions, not satisfied with recommendations of a presidential fact-finding board in a wage dispute, are legally free under the Railway Labor act to strike any Industrial Site Survey in County Urged by Chambers (Continued from Page One) use of only one county employee would be required and no county funds would be involved. Industrialists Approve Mr. Farrow said that the industrial committee had held numerous conferences with industrialists, railroads, and other experts on industrial locations. The recommendations made to the Associated Chambers included their ideas on the needs of the situation, he said. It was pointed out that Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties already have prepared such industrial development plans and are capitalizing upon them at the expense of Orange county, which is not prepared to offer industries the vital information and locations they need. Howard Irwin said that Los Angeles industrial locations are being filled and industries of that area are now having to expand into such adjacent areas as Orange county. If this county had suitable industrial locations designed and ready for occupancy the Santa Fe Railway or the Pacific Electric may purchase them for industrial development along their lines, said Irwin. The railroads have been following that practice in Los Angeles county, he said.

Omar Bradley was quoted today as saying American forces in Korea will be joined by ground troops from other members of the United Nations.

SAN FRANCISCO — Harry Bridges opposition to his own CIO union supporting U.S. action in Korea precipitated a near riot last night.
