Planes Blast Red-Made Tank Toll Hits 1,059 TOKYO (AP)—Allied land-based planes destroyed or damaged 1059 Russian-made tanks during the war in South Korea, the American Air Force chief in the Far East announced today. Lt. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer summarized the destruction wrought from the air on the reds up until Sunday. Then he added: "The war would have been vastly different if we had been up" Warren Signs Loyalty Oath Bill into Law SACRAMENTO (AP)—Governor Warren today signed into law the loyalty oath bill and immediately took the oath himself. Within 30 days all employees of the state, cities, counties and other political subdivisions must follow the governor's example or be dropped from the payroll. Oath-takers will have to: Swear they do not advocate violent, forceful or otherwise unlawful overthrow of the government TOKYO (AP)—Allied land-based planes destroyed or damaged 1059 Russian-made tanks during the war in South Korea, the American Air Force chief in the Far East announced today. Lt. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer summarized the destruction wrought from the air on the reds up until Sunday. Then he added: "The war would have been vastly different if we had been up against a major air power." At no time did the U.N. forces consider using the atom bomb, Stratemeyer told a news conference. He said that in 96 days Allied fighters and bombers destroyed or damaged: 1059 tanks, 5233 trucks, 330 locomotives, 874 railroad cars, 376 bridges, 152 aircraft, 43 warehouses, 22 oil storage tanks, and 33 marshalling yards; they silenced 689 field guns, attacked 11,030 troops and sealed 33 tunnels. Eighteen major strategic red targets—such as industrial centers—were reported neutralized. These mostly were the objects of strategic raids by far-ranging B-29s. The Far East Air Force (FEAF) commander listed Allied aerial losses as 139 aircraft and 175 casualties. Of the casualties, 52 airmen were killed, 56 wounded, 65 missing and two were known to be prisoners of war. With North Korean red targets virtually erased, Allied planes are continuing attacks aimed at cutting off communications behind the retreating communists. A bomb-line stretches explosives across the peninsula—north of the 38th Parallel. "We're going to keep the bombline ahead of our troops," Stratemeyer said when asked to comment on South Korean forces surging across the red border. Most of the 40,456 sorties flown during the first 96 days up to Sunday were in close support of ground forces. Of the total, 3159 were B-29 strikes against strategic targets. Stratemeyer said the strategic phase ended quickly because "it is common knowledge that the enemy's principal sources of materials were off limits." He did not mention Russia, but (Continued on page 5) Phelps Named Kiwanis Head Wilson W.

Fanning Says No Mayor Drive LOS ANGELES (AP)—Postmaster Michael D. Fanning, Democrat mentioned as a candidate for mayor, said yesterday that he will not seek office during the Mayor Bowron recall movement. At the same time, ex-attorney general Robert L.

Anaheim police had been tipped to Harrison's (he gave police the name of William P. Hunter) activities by Mrs. Alice Funk, 421 N. Palm, Mrs. Buttree's neighbor. According to police, Harrison apparently chisled his way through a screen and then entered through an unlocked window.

Hammond a civilian employee of Santa Ana Marine Corps Air Station, hopes that the third time won't be the charm; she wants it the second time. She won a $5000 judgement from William H. Tucker as a result of an automobile accident February 20, 1949, at Coast highway and Goldenrod ave., Corona Del Mar, but Superior Judge Raymond Thompson set it aside by ruling that the evidence did not justify the verdict of a jury. She will try again tomorrow in Judge Kenneth E. Morrison's court, where a jury of 11 women and one man will begin hearing the case. ZETTE 1950 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month No. 138 Weather S.

Nation at Glance Occupy All of Korea, Australia Asks United Nations Forces By Associated Press LAKE SUCCESS—Australia called today for the occupation of all Korea by United Nations forces, but India expressed grave doubts about the wisdom of such a course. India’s Sir Benegal N. Rau expressed opposition to an American-supported eight-nation resolution which he said authorizes by implication the crossing of the 38th Parallel and the indefinite occupation of North Korea. County Fair 'Did All Right' Directors Affirm H. Clay Kellogg of Garden Grove, president of the fair board, said today that the 1950 edition of the Orange County Fair paid out more money but took in more than last year, and generally did all right. He said that there were 30 percent more exhibits in the 1950 fair and so the premium list went up $5000 this year to a high of $24,-814.43. Australian Foreign Minister Percy C. Spender asked for the complete destruction of the North Korean army as a fighting force to prevent a new aggression in that country. The Indian and Australian views were expressed before the General Assembly's Political committee which is debating proposals for pacification and unification of Korea.

Clay Kellogg of Garden Grove, president of the fair board, said today that the 1950 edition of the Orange County Fair paid out more money but took in more than last year, and generally did all right. He said that there were 30 percent more exhibits in the 1950 fair and so the premium list went up $5000 this year to a high of $24,-814.43. However, the fair took in $58,-750 from all sources, a gain of $14,600 over last year, so it was a good investment to pay more for premiums. The horse show increased its take by almost $900, tallying $5845 in gate receipts. Paid admissions to the 1950 fair amounted to 50,771. Rural Building Beafs '49 Mark Building operations in rural Orange county forged $3,000,000 ahead of the third quarter mark of 1949, as Building Inspector C. W. Donohue reported the September operations worth $1,167,763. The year-to-date operations, he said, amount to $14,479,900 as represented by 7727 permits during the first nine months of the year. Most of the September building war in dwellings, which category of the building industry has led in rapidly-growing Orange county for many years. There were 112 permits last month for residential units, including two duplexes. They totaled $925,489, bulk of the month's operations. September operations were 44 per cent less than for September of 1949, but Donohue said it was not a downward trend in the construction field, but rather a "levelling off" after a record August. Placentian Preps Defense in $50,000 Auto Death Action Mrs. Mary Pearl Hale of Placentia, wife of a rancher, was today preparing her defense to a $50,000 damage demand filed against her as result of an accident west of Anaheim in which Miss Darlene Cookson of Long Beach was killed.
