(Gazette photos by Bradley) FULL HOUSE—Zoning-minded Anaheimers last night filled the city council chambers to witness the third in a series of three public hearings on the city's proposed rezoning map and accompanying ordinance. Last night the council was host. Two previous hearings were conducted by the planning commission. Lie Detector Test Fails in Gun Probe Results of the lie detector test given last week to four Fullerton figures in the councilman Kermit Wood shooting investigation, were inconclusive, said Sheriff James A. Musick as he disclosed the report from the Los Angeles police department which applied the tests to Wood, Police Lt. Bill Hovell, William McNames, operator of a merchant patrol, and Mrs. McNames. The couple has furnished Hovel with an alibi on the night of the purported shooting. The test was given in an effort by the sheriff to unravel the mystery of a bullet fired through the top of councilman Wood's car on the evening of Oct. 15 as he was driving from Sleepy Hollow, night spot in Carbon Canyon, where an anonymous phone call had promised him information in connection with the test. 2200 Teachers to Hold Institute in Anaheim Monday Some 2200 teachers from kindergarten through junior college will gather at the Anaheim Union High school and the Fremont school Nov. 13 for the annual county Teachers Institute. Mayor Charles Pearson will greet the teachers with an opening speech. Dr. John Harvey Furbay, noted educator and traveler, will speak on topic "Global Minds for a Global World," and David O. Woodbury, scientist and journalist, will review scientific developments of our age in his speech with "Science—Our Hope for Tomorrow." Musical programs will be presented respectively by the students of each school. Miss Harriet Schadewald will direct the Fremont program and Miss Gania DISPUTED AREA—A. F. Habener, who outlined protects of many southeastern Anaheimers to proposed rezoning of city, pinpoints for planning consultant Gordon Whitnall the area where property owners are objecting to proposed light manufacturing expansion. Last night, city councilmen conducted the last of three scheduled public hearings on Anaheim rezoning proposals. Residents, Industry Lock Over Proposed Industrial Extension in SE Anaheim Whether or not Anaheim will go the way planning commissioners, after months of study, have indicated in their proposed rezoning ordinance was aired for the third and final scheduled time last night at a public hearing conducted by the City Council. Planning consultant Gordon Whitnall, retained during the past months as advisor to the Anaheim planning commission in its zoning survey, acted as moderator for the evening.

MEETING WELCOMES NEW PAINT PLANT Production will start this month at the new Rinshed-Mason Company at 1244 N. Lemon st., stated Edward S. Hawkins, general manager of plant. Official opening will be celebrated tonight at a dinner at the Elks hall co-sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and Rinshed-Mason plant. Frederick G. Weed, president of the company, arrived here from Detroit Tuesday to inspect the new addition to the company's projects. Mayor Charles Pearson will welcome the new industry and Warren Ashleight, president of the Chamber of Commerce, will act as MC. Social hour will start at 5 p.m., with dinner at 5:30. About 45 persons are expected to attend. Planning consultant Gordon Whitnall, retained during the past months as advisor to the Anaheim planning commission in its zoning survey, acted as moderator for the evening. Councilmen now take under advisement the results of last night's hearing. Mayor Charles Pearson indicated afterwards that considerable study of the rezoning map and the proposed ordinance, as submitted by the planning commission lies ahead of the city fathers. Just how closely councilmen will adhere to commission recommendations, the Mayor could not say. The study of the proposals will determine that. However, on a basis of last night's meeting, he wasn't looking for a quick decision, he said. As in the past, southeastern Anaheimers, intent on preventing southward extension of light manufacturing district, filled the council chambers to rehear the zoning proposals and to reassert their protests to these proposals. As in the past, commendation and endorsement of planners proposals for the light manufacturing extension in Anaheim came from representatives of Kwikset Locks, Inc. The cause of southeastern city residents was again championed by A. F. Habener, 217 E. Water st. Referring specifically to the area bounded by Santa Ana and Vermont sts. on the north and south and by East and Olive sts. on the east and west, Habener registered protest to "any M-1 rezoning in area now zoned as residential." His reasons, he said: property loss to owners; incompatibility of manufacturing district with a (Continued on Page 5) ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1950 Lull Slows War--Top Phone Strike Threatens U Equipment Men Walk Out in Wage Dispute NEW YORK (AP) — CIO equipment workers struck the huge Bell Telephone network from coast-to-coast today in a work stoppage that threatened to paralyze a major link in the nation's communications system. The long-threatened walkout began at dawn on the east coast and spread gradually across the country as the 6 a.m. local time deadline passed. Fighting flared in Pittsburgh NEW YORK (AP) — CIO equipment workers struck the huge Bell Telephone network from coast-to-coast today in a work stoppage that threatened to paralyze a major link in the nation’s communications system. The long-threatened walkout began at dawn on the east coast and spread gradually across the country as the 6 a.m. local time deadline passed. Fighting flared in Pittsburgh where two off-duty policemen—armed but in plain clothes—clashed with pickets. Other police broke up the fight and the two patrolmen were charged with disorderly conduct and suspended. The clash ensued after the officers approached the picket line and began arguing. The 33,000 strikers are members of the CIO Communications Workers union. Some 16,000 are employed by Western Electric Co., manufacturing and installing arm of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. A wage dispute touched off the walkout after the union rejected a proposed wage increase of 10 to 11½ cents an hour. The union asked a “substantial boost.” The remaining strikers are employed by the Michigan Bell Telephone Co., involved in a separate wage dispute with the company. (See Wirephoto.) Within five minutes after the walkout, the strikers stationed picket lines around exchanges from coast to coast—a maneuver designed to keep nearly 300,000 fellow union members, including operators, away from their jobs. Following instructions from their union, most of the non-striking employees refused to pass through the lines. Local Phone Front Quiet No disruption of telephone communications has occurred in Anaheim or Orange county today as a result of the nation-wide picketing of telephone offices. The strike by the telephone equipment workers does not affect the local Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., directly except presenting the threat of picketing of local facilities. Strikers and picketers are not employed by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., but are members of the union which installs the equipment used by the telephone company. The strikers DETROIT, NOV. 9—TELEPHONE WORKERS PICKET line in a cold drizzle in front of Bell Telephone today.

Democrats in electing 234 'Honey Bear' Rallies to Beat Polio SACRAMENTO (AP)—The doctors had good news again today about Nina Warren, battling courageously against polio. "She felt so much better this morning," said Dr. Junius B. Harris of the pretty, golden-haired 17-year-old daughter of California's first three term governor. Nina was refreshed, said Dr. Harris, after a restful night. In fact she slept until 8:30. She had a little breakfast and is enjoying the many messages of encouragement that are pouring in by wire and mail. There's been no physical improvement as far as the paralysis of both her legs is concerned—the doctors won't be able to say anything about that until Sunday at the earliest. But there has been no spread of the disease, her temperature is down and she is not feeling the pain she did when first stricken. Her famous dad, meanwhile made his first public appearance since learning of her illness. It was a welcoming speech to members of the California Academy of General Practice. The governor's face showed signs of anxiety but the famous Warren smile was again in evidence. Nina, known everywhere now as "Honey Bear" was hospitalized Tuesday as the voters were giving her father a whopping majority in his third term election try. The Warrens raced here after casting early morning ballots Oakland. It turned his day of political triumph into his sack. "Honey Bear" presumably traced polio at McClatchy school, where only Friday she was a bouncing cheer. The school has had five cases polio in two months. Three other Warren clerks who were exposed to the germ through their sister's infection are in semi-isolation governor's mansion.

There was a freezing line from the Rockies to northern Indiana and the cold Canadian air pushed south into central Texas and Arkansas. Readings were near zero in parts of the cold belt in the Rocky Mountain region. Storm warnings were posted for the Great Lakes as winds up to 40 miles an hour were forecast. A seven-inch blanket of snow covered Denver and Lander, Wyo. There was a carpet of white measuring five inches at Cheyenne, Wyo., and Devils Lake, N.D. The fall at International Falls, Minn., measured more than six inches. Snow, whipped by winds up to 50 miles an hour, fell over the Red River Valley to a depth of from two to four inches last night. Highway traffic was slowed and airline flights cancelled at the peak of the storm. Colder weather was forecast for tonight for most of the central states and temperature drops were expected for eastern states as the cold air pushed eastward today. Mild weather THE FRONT—Gen.

Navy dive bombers blast bridges over Yalu at destroyed Sinuiju. UNITED NATIONS—United States pressing its charge of red Chinese intervention in Korea. SEOUL (AP)—Korean fighting fronts were ominously quiet today. Attention shifted to diplomatic fronts. Only in the air was the war as usual. There was no major contact reported with red forces—either Korean or Chinese—in all Korea. Only on the northwest front was there any contact at all. There a tank-led patrol of the U.S. 24th Division ran into 200 to 300 enemy troops. In north-central Korea, U.S. Marines advanced unopposed to within nine miles of the vital Changjin power dam. Only four days ago Korean and Chinese reeds had put up bitter resistance in this sector. For the Marines it was a gain of nearly a mile along the tortuous canyon road leading northwest (Continued on Page 5) Five Hurt in Anaheim Crash Five persons were injured, but none seriously, when cars driven by Frank R. Johnson, 25, Huntington Park, and Leonard C. Wallin, 52, Los Angeles, met in a head on collision yesterday afternoon noon at the intersection of Ellsworth and Los Angeles sts. Police reports indicate that both drivers apparently pulled into the middle lane of Los Angeles st while traveling in opposite directions. Edna White, South Gate, a passenger in Johnson's car, and T.

Anaheim Citizens Register Protest To Aspects of Hallowe'en Festival The aftermath of Anaheim's Hallowe'en festival and fair was ruffled again today with the presentation to the Chamber of Commerce of a petition protesting certain aspects of the recent Oct. 26-31 celebration. A copy of the protest was also sent to the City Council. Protests stemmed from the office of Dr. Ed Jordt, 525 W. Center st. Dr. Jordt told the Gazette this morning that continual criticism of the Hallowe'en celebration gave rise to the protest note signed in his office. Other copies have been taken out and circulated for signatures, he said. The protest reads: We object to having our beautiful La Palma Park ruined; to our children being influenced by carnival people and exploiters that the extended fair time brings into our town; we feel that this (fair) takes money out of town rather than bringing money into town. Our Hallowe'en festival of one day with complete participation of townspeople has been unique and attractive. Please do not make commitments which will duplicate this (the recent fair) next year." Chamber of Commerce officials were reluctant to be critical of the petitioners on the grounds that "we are always glad to live and learn." E. W. Moeller, manager of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.
