Loyalty Oath Dispute at UC Flares Again SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The University of California’s bitter loyalty oath dispute flared anew today with publication of names of 25 prominent professors who have refused to sign the oath. They include rocket and atomic research experts, men who served with the U.S. Navy during the war; others who made beach invasion landings in Italy and served with the office of Strategic Services. Eighteen prominent alumni made public the names in a specially prepared booklet, and vigorously supported the stand of the professors who refused to sign the loyalty oath. Publication of the names and letters opposing the loyalty oath signing forecast a heated session when the University of California regents meet at Berkeley this Friday. Dr. Edward C. Tolman, 64 year old professor of psychology who has been with the university 32 years, had outlined opposition to the loyalty oath program in a letter to university president Robert Gordon Sproul. Publication of the names and letters opposing the loyalty oath signing forecast a heated session when the University of California regents meet at Berkeley this Friday. Dr. Edward C. Tolman, 64 year old professor of psychology who has been with the university 32 years, had outlined opposition to the loyalty oath program in a letter to university president Robert Gordon Sproul. Dr. Tolman's letter, dated last July 18, and published in the alumni's bookklet today, said in part: "The one basic issue is and always has been academic freedom — freedom to teach the truth in good conscience and without fear. "Recognition and understanding of the real issue calls for our clear answer to those who ask, 'Well, if you're not communists, and if you don't believe in overthrowing the government by force and violence, why aren't you willing to sign up and say so?' "To give such answer is the burden we now assume. "We believe that the one basic difference between democracy and totalitarianism (whether the latter takes the guise of communism or fascism or nazism) is this: In a democracy a man is judged and his rights are determined on fair evidence, fairly considered and fairly acted upon by a fair tribunal. In a democracy, neither a man nor his rights nor his reputation are condemned because of mere whis- IDEA WINNERS—Bob Hutchison, Kwikset corporation secretary, pled fourth place winner in contest to name the Kwikset Hallowe'en Feel "Around the Kwikset World."

County Rejects Zoning Changes County supervisors, by a two to one vote, yesterday rejected a group of changes in the county zoning ordinance—principally the planning commission's controversial proposal to set a minimum of 7,200 square feet for any site of single or double family dwellings or business buildings. Considerable opposition to this proposal developed particularly from coastal areas where beach lots are usually much smaller than that. Twenty-one residents of Capistrano Beach signed a petition against it and representatives of such large land owners as the Irvine co., Rosenbaum Ranch, and Treasure Island made oral protests. A spokesman for Santa Margarita ranch said he had just learned of the amendment and wanted more time to consider it. There was some discussion by the board of deferring action a month but subdividers pointed out that they would be stalemated during that period. So, Supervisor Irvin George Borden, of Newport Beach, moved to reject the amendments and Supervisor R. J. McFadden, Placentia, supported this motion. Supervisor Willard Smith, Orange, voted no. Chairman Willis Warner, not voting, said that were he voting he would vote no, because there were some good features proposed. Korean War (Continued from Page 1) South Korean troops. Col. John Michaells, commanding the U.S. 27th "Wolfhound" Regiment supporting the South Koreans, said the next 48 hours could bring a decision. "This is a critical phase," he said. "If we stop them, we will break the back of this drive." Heavy Air Blows Incessant air blows at the North Koreans were having a telling effect on all fronts. Red supply lines lagged and men and oxen were being pressed into harness to move food and ammunition. Examples of the cracking morale of the North Koreans came from two sources. AP Correspondents Hal Boyle and Bill Shinn interviewed two captive red officers on separate fronts. Boyle reported the 27-year-old commander of a red artillery regiment surrendered under a white flag to the South Koreans near Tabu with the statement: "I don't want to see all Korea run the way the communists now run North Korea. I don't like the way they treat human beings. Most of my regiment would like to surrender but they are to closely watched by secret political agents (commissars) in the army. No one can trust another for fear he is a secret agent." The prisoner is a lieutenant colonel whose name was withheld to protect his family in North Korea. The regimental commander pinpointed his 22 artillery pieces in an orchard for American artillery and plane attack. Correspondent Shinn, an American educated former North Korean, talked with Capt.

Attorney James H. Phillips, representing the California State Employees' association, sent the governor a letter—asking him to permit the legislature, meeting roa special session September 20, to consider wage boosts. "The cost of living is once again moving upward at a rapid rate," says the letter. "The full effects of war time buying are still to be shown." Private industry is now paying more money than the state for identical or similar work, it is contended. The last general wage boost was given state workers April 1, 1947.

Trade In Anaheim Nation at Glance Rail Unions Say They’ll Restrict Their Walkouts By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Two striking rail unions promised “for the time being” today to keep their token walkouts from spreading into a tieup of nationwide proportions. Leaders of 300,000 trainmen and conductors agreed to withdraw their threat to strike one or more major railroads when this week’s five-day shutdowns at three terminals and two steel-carrying railroads have run their course. The White House kept up its determined prodding for a solution to the long wage-hour dispute between the two unions and the nation's principal railroads. WASHINGTON—A top administration leader said today the Senate is likely to add a $8,500,000,000-plus corporation excess profits tax to the $5,000,000,000 tax boosting bill. But Chairman George (D-Ga) of the Senate Finance committee told newsmen he does not think so. Senate tax debate is set to begin tomorrow. It may be a slambang affair. In a late move that may attract some new support, Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) softened his excess profits proposal to make the top tax 85 per cent, instead of 100, on highest corporation earnings that exceed "normal" profits. His aim, he said, was "to remove any danger that the excess profits tax might adversely affect the incentives to produce." NEW YORK—The Stock Market made slow but steady progress...

SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S WORST FIRE IN YEARS BURNS OUT AFTER WEEK SAN DIEGO (AP)—San Diego county's worst mountain fire of recent years was out today after burning for a week and leaving 100 square miles blackened and 20 homes in ruins. The destruction included scenic woodlands and camping facilities in Cuyamaca State Park and Cleveland National Forest. More than one third of the park area was swept by the flames. Heaviest loss. Forest Service men said, was the foliage which prevents erosion and holds moisture in the watershed serving the city reservoirs. Most of the Orinoco river system in Venezuela is navigable.
