VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH Truman May Call Solons Back to Work WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman may call Congress back before its scheduled return November 27, but he said today he has not yet reached a decision. He said if the call is made it would be to give Congress a little more working time on a whole list of things, including an excess profits tax, rent control extension, and statehood for Alaska and Hawaii. Mr. Truman discussed the possibility in a White House news conference that covered a wide range of topics. The new 82nd Congress does not meet until January 3 nearly two months after the November elections.

UN Hums Over Lie-Russ Break LAKE SUCCESS (AP)—United Nations headquarters today buzzed with reports that a quarrel in the Kremlin between Prime Minister Stalin and Trygve Lie led to Russia's vetoing of the bluff Norwegian as U.N. Secretary-General. Lie spent a week in Moscow last May during a swing around the world's great capitals trying to sell a 10-point peace plan designed to solve east-west differences. His trip was widely denounced in the United States as toadying to the Russians. Exactly what happened when Lie met Stalin in the fastness of the Kremlin was guarded. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Jacob A. Malik, however, let some of it out last night. He told a closed meeting of the Security Council, gathered to try and agree on a new secretary general, that Lie had declined to adopt some amendments, suggested by Stalin and Deputy Premier V.M. Molotov, to the peace plan. Augusta Schneider Dies in Hospital Mrs. Augusta Schneider, 70, died yesterday at the Anaheim Community hospital.

Slug in Haystack Still in Haystack Discovering that the mine detectors being used to search for the bullet assertedly fired at Councilman Kermit Wood of Fullerton were designed for anti-tank detection and would not take notice of a bullet buried more than one inch deep, the sheriff's office today undertook to build its own detectors. This delicate job will require some little time, as it must be crowded in between the currently busy routine of the specialists at the sheriff's identification bureau, so the investigation of the alleged attempt on Wood's life near Brea Sunday evening, Oct. 15, meanwhile will mark time, unless, said Sheriff James A. Musick, inquiry into the affair along other lines can develop a break. Movietown People Pay Last Respects To Departed Jazz Singer Al Jolson HOLLYWOOD — The people of moviedom—from biggest producer to lowliest script boy—paid final tribute today to an idol of an era, the one and only Al Jolson. That's the billing the old jazz singer doubtless would want, and thousands walked past his casket in Temple Israel for a last look at the man who launched so many of the songs America has loved in the past 40 years. Fans and casual friends had two hours—from 9 to 11 a.m.—to view the body of "Mr. Show Business," lying with the tallith shawl draped over his body in memory of his cantor father. At 11 a.m. the Temple doors closed and only relatives and close friends of Jolson attended the services at noon. Rabbi Max Nussbaum, assisted by Cantor Saul Silverman, officiated. Jolson's old friend, comedian - film producer George Jessel, gave the culogy. At the request of the widow—Jolson's fourth wife, Erle Galbraith—flowers were absent. She urged that the money be sent instead to the American Heart Association. It was a heart attack last Monday night in San Francisco that closed the 64-year-old showman's career. Korean Asks War Reparations From Russia SEOUL (P) — Defense Minister Sihn Sung Mo of the Republic of Korea today said the United Nations should demand that war criminals who escape to red China or Soviet Siberia be returned for trial. Sihn added that reparations should be demanded from the Soviet Union by the U. N. for the damage caused in Korea. Troop from red North Korea, a Soviet satellite, started the war June 2 by invading U. N. sponsored R.Public of Korea. "Our reparations demands are made not under threat of force," Sihn said: "But the communist should learn to hesitate before they repeat acts of aggression." "We must ask for justice." Sihn, in an interview, did not elaborate on his reparations demand. He suggested limiting of trips of war criminals to the men who gave the orders for atrocities rather than those who were forced to carry them out.

This first arrival of United Nations forces at the sensitive frontier came amid conflicting reports whether American and other non-Korean troops would go so far North and whether the Chinese peds were giving any open support to the North Korean communists. Created report's that non-Korean forces would stop short of the border to avoid the possibility of incidents drew this statement from Col. Noble J. Wiley, Jr., U.S.Eighth Army spokesman: "United Nations forces, including U.S. troops, have authority to operate anywhere in Korea that the tactical situation dictates. While the Eighth Army will not comment on further plans or movements, it will confirm within security limitations the location of ground U.N. forces under Eighth Army control. A few minutes later, however, (Continued on Page 5) Yorba Water Case Finish in Sight Conclusion of the long-drawn court battle over water rights of the Don Bernardo Yorba family in Santa Ana Canyon was in sight today. The complicated case has been placed in the hands of Superior Judge Robert Gardner. He took it under advisement late yesterday. Nearly 100 pieces of documentary evidence, many written in dim longhand and some dated as early as 1858 were before the court for examination in the wake of the trial which extended over several days. Included was the original map of Don Bernardo's rancho as it existed Nov. 8, 1858, together with court records relating to the distribution of his estate. Also among the documents were the records of early day law suits which shaped the situation arising recently when Albert J. Yorba and 26 other heirs of Don Bernardo brought suit against the Anaheim Union Water Co., and the Yorba Irrigation district to perfect their legal right to use water from the ditches of these companies. Their claim is based upon an agreement between the Yorba China Red Enter Tibet BERLIN (AF)—The Russians nounced today that Chinese people's army crush Tibetan frontier," and an amendment in Taegliche Rundschau official newspaper of the control commission in Gansu said today.

MARINES LAND TODAY—Marine elements of the 10th Corps are shown landing on the sandy beaches flanking Wonsan air strip (on the east coast of North Korea) shortly after dawn today. Their landing was held up six days by a heavy concentration of minefields.—(Associated Press Wirephoto) China Reds Enter Tibet BERLIN (AP)—The Russians announced today that Chinese communist forces had crossed Tibet's frontier early Tuesday. "In the early morning hours Tuesday, a formation of the Chinese people's army cross the Tibetan frontier," and announcement in Taegliche Rundschau, official newspaper of the Soviet control commission in Germany, told today. It was the first word that the Red Chinese actually had entered Tibet. The Peiping radio yesterday announced that Chinese communist forces in South China had been ordered to advance on Tibet. The Chinese reds had been hinting at an invasion of Tibet for several months. Taegliche Rundschau said: "In the summer of 1949 revolutionary authorities of Tibet under pressure from their English and American advisers had proclaimed their detachment from China. This was not the wish of the Tibetan people, but was designed to serve Washington in its continued on Page 2." Disgusted Marines Find Situation At Wonsan Landing Well in Hand WONSAN, Korea (AP)—Baffled and disgusted U. S. Marines ambled ashore here today in "Operation What-the-Hell." That was their private description of the maneuver which sent them ashore in driblets on an east coast beach where the situation was already well in hand. Growled Lt. Raymond J. Elledge of 726 So. Tremont, San Gabriel, California: "Nobody likes to get shot at going ashore, but this isn't the way the Marine Corps works. This is more like an Army job." Said Lt. Earl R. DeLong of Norfolk, Va., and Philadelphia: "It's kind of a disappointment. You know you get all keyed up to do something then there is this let down." When this operation was planned it was to have been a slam bang affair on October 20 against a well fortified peninsula sticking northward across the mouth of this important port, one of the best in Korea. By the time the Marines arrived however, Republic of Korea (ROK) troops had swept through the town and on to the north and west. So for six extra days the large convoy carrying troops and supplies sailed up and down the Japanese Sea, cruising at eight knots. The Marines asked ironically: "Is this trip necessary?" Pools were made up aboard ship each night as to what time the word would be passed to reverse course by (180) degrees. Before the actual landing the whole thing had become a huge joke. The Marines just couldn't see landing to seize an airfield, their initial objective, which already was in operation by the first Marine Air Wing. Enroute to their anchorage for the dawn landing the Marines lightened the otherwise dull opera.
