VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEI Yank Tanks Blast Way Through Commie Snare SEOUL (P)—An American tank column blasted its way through a red tree in a far North Korean mountain ravine today. Then it rolled northward in a blazing bid to reach the Manchurian border in four days. Communists opened up on the 17th Infantry Regiment from the hillsides as the tanks rumbled along a narrow road in northeast Korea. A three-hour battle ended with 125 communists dead on the hills and Marine Corpss rocketing the fleeing remnants. This was about 23 miles south of the Manchurian frontier. The commander of the column said his force would reach the border early next week and if fired on from Manchuria— "We will shoot hell out of them." Elsewhere on the front: The South Korean capital Division clawed 3000 to 4000 yards forward on the extreme northeast UN Delays Debate on China Reps NEW YORK (P)—United Nations officials said today the General Assembly will put over until next week further debate on the Chinese representation issue to allow time for private consultations. The Assembly faces the task of This was about 23 miles south of the Manchurian frontier. The commander of the column said his force would reach the border early next week and if fired on from Manchuria— "We will shoot hell out of them." Elsewhere on the front: The South Korean capital Division clawed 3000 to 4000 yards forward on the extreme northeast sector; U. S. Marines probed mountains around Changjin reservoir in the center of the peninsula; Patrols of the U. S. 24th Division roamed unopposed more than six miles north of Pakchon in the northwest. American troops hunting down guerrillas far behind the lines reported inflicting the biggest death toll of any battle action this week. More than 500 reds were killed. Red raiders retaliated by setting an entire town, Kapyong, ablaze. More than 8000 villagers fled. Along most of the front communists avoided any major engagement. But they were building up forces in the mountains. A spokesman estimated 100,000 reds are available in the northwest—armies equipped with American artillery captured by Chinese communists from Chiang Kai-shek's nationalists and now supplied by American-type shells manufactured in red Manchuria.

Miller has been connected with the Associated Farmers of Orange County as secretary since the first of this year. Formerly in the petroleum business, Miller became interested some time ago in combating subversive activities, and now makes his headquarters in Anaheim while carrying on with his work.

The Assembly faces the task of setting up a study committee charged with bringing back a recommendation on whether China's seats in the U.N. should remain in the hands of the Nationalists or go to the communists. The make-up of the committee now is in dispute. Assembly President Nasrollah Entezam of Iran proposed yesterday that Belgium, Canada, India, Iraq, Mexico, the Philippines and Poland serve on the body. Soviet block delegates objected that such a committee would be stacked in favor of the Nationalists since only two of the suggested members—India and Poland — recognized Mao Tze-Tung's red regime. Entezam defended this division of places on the ground that only 17 of the 60 members of the U.N. have recognized red China. Red China Rejects Indian Protest of Tibet Invasion NEW DELHI, India (AP)—Communist China has brusquely rejected a second Indian protest at the military invasion of Tibet, an official government spokesman said today. Peiping's reply to an Indian note calling the use of force against peaceful Tibetans an unwarranted act further endangering world peace was received today. Red China declared India had no right to "interfere" in what the communists consider an internal Chinese affair. The second Chinese note reached New Delhi as Tibet's 16-year-old Dalai Lama was scheduled to be invested with full powers in a colorful ceremony at Lhasa, the capital. Never-Say-Die Dog Home Again CHICAGO (AP)—Three weeks ago Brownie, a five month old pet dog, was struck by an automobile, shot in the head and buried. Brownie refused to become dispirited at his run of bad luck. He roused himself out of a shallow grave to prove it. He's back at his home in suburban Calumet City looking and feeling considerably better than he was after his close brush with death. Brownie strayed into the home of Albert Herman last September and was promptly adopted by Herman's four young children. They were upset when he was hit by a car and seriously injured late last month. Mrs. Herman rushed him to a veterinarian but he was out of his office. Mrs. Herman, noting Brownie was suffering, decided to put the dog out of his misery. She asked a neighbor to shoot Brownie. He took the dog to wooded area and fired one shot at the animal's head. Then he placed Brownie in a shallow grave and covered the body with sand. The next day, Mrs. Herman said, Brownie showed up at her back door—whining. She rushed him to a veterinarian, Dr. Robert Snyder, who went to work with penicillin, splints and other equipment and soon had Brownie patched up.

Formerly in the petroleum business, Miller became interested some time ago in combating subversive activities, and now makes his headquarters in Anaheim while carrying on with his work. "We are not witch-hunters or vigilantes" states Miller, "we find the source of trouble and then turn the facts over to the proper law enforcement agencies." Red China declared India had no right to "interfere" in what the communists consider an internal Chinese affair. The second Chinese note reached New Delhi as Tibet's 16-year-old Dalai Lama was scheduled to be invested with full powers in a colorful ceremony at Lhasa, the capital. The text of the Chinese communist note was not made public here immediately. TWO-BY-TWO—Pix, Inc., New York picture agency which distributed this picture says it came from its photographer, I. R.

The committee heard yesterday, in an auditor’s testimony, that Mickey had been borrowing heavily since 1947 but hasn’t paid much back. Union Charges Bust Up Try in Plains Union Charges Bust Up Try in Phone Dispute PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Union officials accused the Western Electric Company today of “trying to bust up” their union. And Henry F. Shiperd, president of the Philadelphia Industrial Union Council (CIO), pledged extra pickets and financial support to help the members of the Communications Workers of America, in the ninth day of a nationwide strike. “We are not going to stand by and see a smaller union taken advantage of,” Shiperd said. He blamed police-picket battles at Philadelphia telephone exchanges earlier this week on company tactics. He said the company, an affiliate of the American Telephone and Telegraph co., had gotten private detectives to organize flying wedges of employees to crash picket lines with police aid. The Bell Telephone company of Pennsylvania went into court today seeking an injunction that would bar the strikers from picketing Bell exchanges. Farm Bureau Awards Made BERKELEY (AP)—Awards for achievement in various projects were carried home today by delegates who attended the 32nd annual convention of the California Farm Bureau Federation. The Nevada County Farm Bureau won a huge loving cup for maintaining the highest ratio of Farm Bureau members to the number of farms in the county. Other 1950 awards, carrying with them loving cups, were: The Farm Bureau Center having the largest membership in the state this year: Garden Grove, Orange county, 653 members; Tuslin, Orange county, 581 members; The gambler, patently nervous, went before the committee in open session after cooling his heels nearly two hours. The committee heard yesterday, in an auditor’s testimony, that Mickey had been borrowing heavily since 1947 but hasn’t paid much back. The committee, headed by Senator Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn), heard Barney Ruditsky, a former New York detective, in closed session today before calling Cohen. It was outside Ruditsky’s Sunset Strip restaurant that an assassin killed a Cohen bodyguard, Neddie Herbert, last year and wounded Cohen. After the hearing, Ruditsky was asked what went on: “Same old thing,” he said, “New York stuff.” He did not amplify, and Kefauver gave reporters no fill-in on Ruditsky’s testimony. Cohen was questioned about his killing Max Shman in 1945. He said Shman came at him with a gun “and I shot him.” He said it was over a fight he had had a few days before with Shman’s brother. Cohen pleaded self-defense and was acquitted. He was asked if he wasn’t trying to “muscle in” on Pauley Gibbons, a gambler who was shot to death here in 1946. “I never muscled nobody in my life,” Cohen replied. He repeated it later when Halley asked him about the killings of Benny (Meatball) Gamson and George Levinson here in 1945. Halley identified both as bookmakers, and said “the police department record” shows that you and Gamson “were feuding for some time, and his demise was advantageous to you.” “What’s ‘demise’?” Cohen asked, Continued on Page 5 Ambassador to Argentina Quits WASHINGTON (AP)—The White House today announced the resignation of Stanton Griffis as ambassador to Argentina effective December 1. In an exchange of letters made public, President Truman told Griffis he is accepting the resignation but is taking Griffis’ word that he will be “available for future public service.” AUHS Thespians Register Hit with enactment of 'Meet Me in St. Louis' By Gazette Drama Critic With each new day and with successive event, Anaheim brought face to face with many blessings they can call upon. The gayest disclosure of our fortune was presented last night in the AUHS auditorium on the school Senior class enclosing the comedy "Meet Me In St. Louis." It would be difficult to imagine there appropriate choice for this peculiar group of young theses than the Perry Clark adaptation of Sally Banson's novel. Only regrettable that last year's showing is the only one the play because the homey pleasure enjoyed by cast and audience alike deserves to be spread about a larger area. Almost without exception the production was on such an evenly high level that there appears to be no place to begin a "review." However, since one must start somewhere we shall resort to what seems logical. In choosing a "period" play (the time is 1904, just before the St. Louis World Fair) Miss Louise Hitt called upon the ingenuity and inventiveness of her co-workers as much as their talents. For example, sincere praise goes to Ray Hamilton, for his set was (Continued on Page 4) Argentina Quits WASHINGTON (AP)—The White House today announced the resignation of Stanton Griffis as ambassador to Argentina effective December 1. In an exchange of letters made public, President Truman told Griffis he is accepting the resignation but is taking Griffis' word that he will be "available for future public service." Griffis in his letter to the president pointed out he has spent almost all of the last nine years in government service and is anxious for a sort of "sabbatical period of rest and study." He was ambassador to Argentina for just about one year. During the war he was in charge of the motion picture division of the Office of War Information. Anasailor Serves Aboard Carrier Milton B.
