Tito to Get U.S. Food Help BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) — Yugoslavia today announced that the United States had agreed to send additional food to this drought-stricken country — reportedly as much as $50,000,000 worth for the Yugoslav army. The government said an agreement had been concluded for food shipments to strengthen the "defensive abilities of Yugoslavia." This additional relief, informed sources said, was destined for army consumption. Civilian food shipments already are coming into the country. While an artificial snowstorm blows among the palm trees, Santa Claus will arrive Southern California-style by donkey, 100-year-old stagecoach, helicopter, $25,000 wheeled sleigh, airplane, and canal boat. Everything, the All-Year Club announced today, but the traditional reindeer-draw sleigh pulling over real snowbanks. Which is the point the All-Year Club wanted to make, it being the community's official advertiser of the sunshine-borne tourist industry.

US Proposes 7 Point Jap Peace Plan WASHINGTON (A)—The United States, in a seven point proposal for a Japanese peace settlement, has offered Russia voice in deciding the future of Formosa. A long secret memorandum submitted to a dozen nations, including Russia, also suggested that American and “perhaps other forces” might be kept on the scene after a treaty is signed. These forces would be assigned to safeguard Japanese security. The State Department published the detailed U.S. treaty plan today after Moscow made public objections raised by Russia. The proposal for giving the Soviets a voice in disposing of Formosa said that it was this government’s idea that the decision on the island’s future status should be made by Britain, Russia, China and the U.S. Should these four countries fail to reach agreement within a year after the peace treaty came into effect, the United Nations General Assembly would decide what to do with Formosa. This same procedure was proposed to decide the status of the Pescadores Island, the southern portion of Sakhalin Island already occupied by Russia and the Kuriles Islands.

District 8 has been inactive in the sanita-tion program since the start-ing voted no bonds for its age program, and has not participated in deliberation on policy and procedure as the nation program has developed. District 8 directors pro-posed a $75 charge per month, last Jan. 1, said they did not charge should be no more than $10 per month, to cover mailing them minutes, notices. Other districts didn’t agree started to vote the $75 charge against District 8. District (Santa Ana) voted that we District 2 finally carried motion A to B.

Dewey said today that preliminary evidence indicates "a human failure" was the cause of the Thanksgiving eve Long Island Railroad wreck which took 77 lives. Dewey, who cut short a Florida vacation to lead one of the six investigations of the wreck, started today, made his statement after a meeting with the State Public Service commission. As the governor spoke there were demands for quick action by national, state and city officials to put an end to the carnage on the Long Island. It was the second major disaster in a year on the railroad. Dewey said commission findings showed the express which plowed into the rear of a stalled train had passed through one warning signal and one stop signal at full speed of between 60 and 65 miles per hour. The warning signal was a mile The attack is moving according to schedule. General MacArthur announced tonight. It followed a long lull and unconfirmed peace rumors. MacArthur made the announcement at 8 p.m. (3 a.m. PST) 12 hours after flying boldly to the northwest front to direct the all-out assault. Elsewhere Allied divisions forged ahead in a giant pincer movement. The assault along the 80 mile northwest front was moving ahead against "stubobrn but failing resistance," MacArthur said. Gains ranged up to eight miles. U.N. losses were "extraordinarily light" as the Allies pushed toward mountains where an estimated 100,000 reds are entrenched. MacArthur said new red armies had joined the defenders, but didn't amplify the statement. Allied aircraft provided a "full strength" aerial umbrella for the advance. The entire giant pincer movement, MacArthur said, is geared for a sustained offensive to end the war before Christmas. "The justice of our cause." the FIRE DAMAGES $4,000,000 PLANT—Smoke rises from the ruins of the Pacific Clay Products company $4,000,000 plant in Los Nietos, northwest of Anaheim, November 23.
