National Guard (Continued from Page 1) took the place of Major General Field Harris, the originally scheduled speaker who "received orders" the day before the farewell party. They heard music. First it was the famed El Toro Marine band. Later it was Stuart Hamblen and his group of western stars. Hamblen and his entertainers mixed music with appeals to the Christian way of life. Various members of the group told the audience of the changes wrought in their lives by the espousal of the gospel. Prepping for last night's farewell party, Christian Businessmen heralded the affair as a means of displaying county gratitude to the men who are giving up civvies for khakis during the present emergency. They said it was designed to make up for the lack of observance of the guard departure for service in World War II. No one even saw them off at the train last time," the businessmen said. "We don't want that to happen again." Last night's farewell more than made sure it didn't. County to Study Water Pollution Cooperation between the county and state in an impeding survey by the state of underground water pollution in Orange county was assured by action of the county supervisors yesterday in offering legal and technical services that may be required in eliminating sources of pollution. The board acted on recommendation of its water pollution consultant, engineer Loren Blakeley, who included in his recommendation a study of the suggestion that huge covered reservoirs be constructed underground for storage of water in civilian defense emergencies. This proposal was in addition to the survey of possible sources of pollution to the natural underground reservoir and steps to eliminate such sources. Blakeley estimated that approximately 10 per cent of oil field waste in northern Orange county is being released on the ground, creating a threat of contamination to underground water. The board has indicated its inclination to give the oil companies ample time to provide their own solution of the waste water problem.

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Acheson said today it is up to the United Nations to decide whether its forces should drive beyond the 38th Parallel which divided North and South Korea. Acheson told a news conference that the United States has tried to make this attitude clear. He suggested that perhaps events might take such a course that the question of crossing the dividing line would solve itself. By this the secretary said he meant there would be no problem if the North Koreans ceased hostilities as demanded by the U.N. Security Council and cooperated in working out unification for Korea. Acheson also said the United States by word and deed is doing its utmost to discourage the Chinese communists from becoming involved in the Korean fighting. He said this government is stressing the point that backing the North Koreans would be wrong and a defiance of the United Nations charter and Security Council. This attitude is being presented, the secretary said, in statements by President Truman and others and is stressed in "Voice of America" broadcasts to Europe.

We must not create suspicion of our neighbor but we must be aware of the possibilities for sabotage."

Harvey is a wealthy Odessa sportsman and oil man who maintains a $75,000 home three miles east of Odessa. Harvey immediately denied Cohen planned to visit him. "Just because I gamble a little bit," said Harvey, "people assume I know all these big shots. I don't. I confine my activities to Odessa. I don't know Mickey Cohen, have never met him, didn't know he was coming to town, and have no plans to meet him." Cohen left Los Angeles by American Airlines plane late last night, arrived in El Paso early today and transferred there to another commercial plane for the airport which serves Odessa and Midland. Midland is another west Texas oil town. The Odessa American said one of its staff members talked again to the limousine driver, and that the latter asserted "he took Cohen and four men directly to Harvey's place." The American said it preferred not to disclose the limousine driver's name. The newspaper said Harvey denied, a few minutes later, that any guests had arrived at his home.
