Over 200 grower and shipper members of the cooperative attended the mid-day dinner served at the YMCA activities building here. "The interest of every California citrus grower has in recent years been centered on the progress and expansion of this phase of his industry," declared Gordon Beisel, director of research for Real Gold Citrus Products, processing division of MOD. Beisel's report was pointed up by General Manager Robbins Russell who after reviewing the fresh fruit operations of the co-operative stressed MOD's historic position of continuously seeking the best combination of outlets, thereby assuring top returns for all the crop. Said he: "The new application of analytical techniques explained by Mr. Beisel are important because they give the grower another and very effective tool, enabling him to measure his crop's value realistically thereby assuring greater consumer satisfaction and substantially improved returns for that portion of his fruit marketed Burglars Miss Mark in Anaheim Orange county burglaries netted $1000 for some busy robbers last night, but their two efforts in Anaheim only drew blanks. Police officers Alvin Rogers and Ed Brawn found the first evidence of their work when they discovered the padlock pried off the door of Gayle's Market, 404 N. Los Angeles st., at 11:30 last night. O. W. Waid, 115 MacArthur Manor, had closed the store at 9:45 p.m., and the lock had been taken off with a jimmy bar between that time and the time of discovery by the police. Although there was $25 in bills in the till, another $35 on the office desk, and $50 in wrapped coffins in a cigar box on the floor of the office, Waid could find nothing missing from the store. Bunco Victims Peg Suspect Three Orange county businessmen, victims of a bunco artist, who got approximately $75 in cash and goods from them today identified a suspect from photoidentified a suspect from a photosheriffs in Santa Ana. Lee Willoughby, jeweler, and Stuart Price, clothing store operator, both of Costa Mesa, said that the suspect had obtained merchandise from them on credit in one case and by leaving a worthless ring with the jeweler as security for a watch in the other case. Lyle Richard, service station operator at Westminster, loaned the suspect $25 on his IOU for $27. None of them saw the suspect again.

N. troops in Korea. The Peiping reds made a dramatic appearance in the General Assembly's Political Committee as Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky was elaborating on Russian charges that the United States was guilty of aggression against China. U. S. Delegate John Foster Dulles countered with a charge that Russia was trying by every means to poison the friendship of the American tail Chinese people. Simultaneously the Assembly's special political committee debated broad principles of representation. A decision on that point is expected to determine whether the reds or the nationalists will occupy China's seats in the United Nations. Another tie would mean defeat of the proposal.

But the buck snorted, jumped up and dashed deep into the forest—bearing the gun aloft.
