VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHE MacArthur Warns FAREWELL TO COMRADE—Legion men were among the many citizens, both public and private, who attended services this morning for Rudy Boysen, City Park superintendent, who died Saturday. Councilman L. N. Wisser (left), past commander of the Anaheim Post, and Major Charles Schmitt, adjutant, entered the chapel at the head of a Legion procession, part of the group of mourners which filled the funeral home to overflowing. Anaheim Pays Last Respects to Park Superintendent Rudy Boysen Anaheim said goodbye to Rudy Boysen today. Last rites for the late City Park superintendent, who died Saturday, were conducted this morning at Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel. The Reverend Virgil K. Ledbetter, former pastor of Calvary Baptist church, officiated. The Lemon st. chapel was filled to overflowing by friends and associates who came to pay respects to the man whose name is a by-word in horticultural circles locally and abroad. There were well over 200 persons in attendance. So many that all seats in the chapel were occupied. Emergency chairs still could not take care of the mourners. Some people were unable to get inside the chapel. The gathering this morning was made up of public and private citizens alike. The City of Anaheim, for which Mr. Boysen worked for 23 years, was represented by the mayor, councilmen, and various department heads. Members of the park department, Mr. Boysen's associates, were there in full force. Anaheim Legionnaires came to honor their departed comrade. And in fitting tribute to the man who spent his life, with growing things, the chapel held a wealth of flowers. There were 90. Fog Blankets Southland for Seventh Day LOS ANGELES (AP)—Pea-soup fog today—for the seventh consecutive day—snarled rail, highway, sea and air travel. But the Weather Bureau expects it to be greatly lessened by tonight and tomorrow morning. Pacific Electric trains from coastal sections were delayed a half-hour to one hour in some instances; ships anchored outside the harbor until the fog lifted; International Airport was fogged in and highway traffic crawled. Clear skies through tomorrow, due to a mild flow of desert air, are forecast. Temperatures will be five to 10 degrees above normal during the middle of this week. Dog Goes... So Does Girl The love of a little girl for her pet dog drove a 14-year-old Santa Ana lass away from home last night, her big white collie by her side. Deputy sheriffs found them trudging along a street outside the city. Santa Ana police already had received a frantic call from the parents. Then the story came out. The girl's mother had threatened to take the dog away from here unless she minded better. The girl went to her room. A little later her mother came to the room to tuck her daughter in for the night. The daughter was gone. So was the collie. "I wasn't running away," the girl explained to deputy sheriffs, "I was just going to grandma's house to get her to help me." HOOK-AND-LADDER CRASH DETROIT (AP) — Ten persons were injured in a spectacular mid-morning crash of a hook-and-ladder fire truck and a street car today in Detroit's busy Cadillac Square. Five firemen, the street car motorman and four passengers were hurt, four possibly seriously. Snow Citizens alike. The City of Anaheim, for which Mr. Boysen worked for 23 years, was represented by the mayor, councilmen, and various department heads. Members of the park department, Mr. Boysen's associates, were there in full force. Anaheim Legionnaires came to honor their departed comrade. And in fitting tribute to the man who spent his life, with growing things, the chapel held a wealth of flowers. There were 88 floral pieces in all. Coast College Drops Annex In the face of objections from Laguna Beach unified school district and Capistrano high school district, the proposal of Orange Coast junior college district to annex the other two districts was abandoned today. Dr. Basil Peterson, president of Orange Coast college, formally notified the County Supervisors in Santa Ana this morning that the junior college district desired to withdraw its petition filed with the board two weeks ago. OPPOSE SPLITTING SAN DIEGO COUNTY RANCHO SANTA FE (AP) — Opposition to a proposed division of San Diego county, with the present northern half to become Palomar county, was expressed by directors of the Rancho Santa Fe in a resolution made public today. Members of the Northern San Diego county Associated Chambers of Commerce will discuss the proposal at a meeting in Ramona tonight. Pacific Electric trains from coastal sections were delayed a half-hour to one hour in some instances; ships anchored outside the harbor until the fog lifted; International Airport was fogged in and highway traffic crawled. Clear skies through tomorrow, due to a mild flow of desert air, are forecast. Temperatures will be five to 10 degrees above normal during the middle of this week but will drop by the week's end. The weatherman also forecast intermittent light rain near the end of the week. Tibet-China Peace Hinted NEW DELHI, India (AP) — A reliable report said today a Tibetan delegation was en route from Lhasa, the Dalai Lama's capital, to the Kham of Sikang province in western China in an attempt to negotiate peace with invading communists. Indian government officials said they were seeking confirmation of the report from S. Sinha, India's representative of Lhasa. These officials said the dispatch of a peace delegation may be the reason that the Chinese advance has come practically to a halt in recent weeks. It was believed here that the delegation was appointed following the taking over of full power on Nov. 17 by the 16-year-old Dalai Lama, spiritual and temporal ruler of Tibet. Sinha reported shortly before that date that there had been no contact between Tibet and China on peace terms. HOOK-AND-LADDER CRASH DETROIT (AP) — Ten persons were injured in a spectacular mid-morning crash of a hook-and-ladder fire truck and a street car today in Detroit's busy Cadillac Square.

Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 68 degrees. High temperature for the past, 24 hours was 68 at 2:30 yesterday. Low was 45 at 4:30 a.m. today. Storm-Sweep By the Associated Press Storm - swept Eastern states, reeling from devastating blows from weather's elements, struggled today to get business and production back to normal. The herculean job was being waged by thousands. They fought to clear areas of snow from the weekend storm which struck with paralyzing fury over wide parts of 22 Eastern states. The death toll from the winds, blizzards and cold mounted, with 278 fatalities in the storm-struck region. Damage to property mounted to astronomical figures—estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

It declared the consequences were potentially grave and called upon the United Nations and the world to face the facts squarely. In one of the most critical meetings in the history of the Security Council, Chief U.S. Delegate Warren R. Austin spoke directly to the representative of red China, Wu Hsui-Chuan, who sat at the Council table as an invited guest. Austin shot a series of blunt questions at Wu. He asked: Does the Peiping representative still maintain that the 200,000 troops in Korea are entirely volunteers? “Will the representative tell the Security Council how long the Peiping regime has been planning and preparing for this aggression? Was all this being done while the Peiping radio was protesting the peaceful intentions of the Peiping regime?” Wearing headphones, Wu listened intently but took few notes. It was generally expected he would ignore Austin's questions as well as the charges of aggression. Austin called upon the Council to act as “promptly as convenient” on a six-power resolution demanding the withdrawal of the Chinese communists from Korea. He added, however, that “we’ve been told the Soviet Un- (Continued on Page 8) Lava Threatens Italian Hamlet CATANIA, Sicily (AP)—A molten finger of lava, spewed up by Mt.

The creeping lava-head measure LATE NEWS WASHINGTON (AP)—High defense officials said today United Nations forces probably can hold a line against the Chinese masses in Korea as long as they have command of the air and sea and ground troops possess greater firing power. These officials at the Pentagon said there has been “absolutely no talk about using the atomic bomb against the Chinese.” They also stressed the government view that the Chinese outburst in Korea constitutes a “new aggression” which must be met by a decision in the United Nations. This might mean withdrawal of American troops to a specified line. Officials said Gen. Douglas MacArthur has not requested permission to bomb Chinese bases in Manchuria or China. TOKYO, Wednesday, Nov. 29 (AP)—Thousands of Chinese communist troops from a 200,000-man army yesterday poured through a breach in Allied lines in Korea, threatening to trap retreating U.S. forces in the northwest. General MacArthur in a special communique warned that the non-communist world faces “an entirely new war” with red China and made a veiled request for power to bomb Manchurian bases. He summoned his two top field commanders in Korea to an urgent and secret military conference that ran for four hours. It finally broke up at 130 a.m. today. The two were Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, whose U. S. Eighth Army faces an estimated 14 Chinese divisions in the northwest, and Maj. Gen. E. M.

Much human misery CATANIA, Sicily (P)—A molten finger of lava, spewed up by Mt. Etna's worst eruption in 40 years, snaked its way toward the hamlet of Milo today while scores of trucks stood ready to evacuate the 600 villagers. The smoldering stream was reported moving at 130 feet an hour toward the little village on the volcano's northeast slope, shriveling trees and vegetation in its path. The creeping lava-head measured 5000 feet across and 17 feet high as it roared from 37 fiery holes in Etna's side. Half way down the mountain it split into smaller streams of molten rock. Part headed toward Milo and neighboring Fornazzo. Another flow moving at only 29 feet an hour, coursed down the Valley of the Ox. Bridges Union Threatens West Coast Strike WASHINGTON (P)—The threat of a strike which might tie up shipping in west coast ports, Korean embarkation points, hung today over a Coast Guard hearing on proposed regulations to screen out "subversive" seamen and port workers. The threat was voiced by left-wing union leaders Harry Bridges and Hugh Bryson, Jr., as an eight-man board of Coast Guard officers started the hearing yesterday.

Thieves Attack Mercy Motorist When Ivar Edward Nelson, 13372 Taft ave., Garden Grove, stopped his car in the fog last night for an act of mercy, having come upon the prone form of a man in the highway, he was rewarded by a slugging and robbery. The bandits took even his clothing, leaving him tied hand and foot with his only remaining garment his underwear. Nelson later told deputy sheriffs that he was driving home through the fog at 1 a.m., on Garden Grove blvd., west of the Santa Ana river. When he saw the man lying on the highway he stopped and got out of his car. He was immediately slugged by another man who stepped out of the fog. At the same time the man lying in the road jumped up and both Crooks Caught By Crafty Constable LUDLOW, Callif., (P) — Constable Henry E. Pendergast gave John Armstrong, 35, and Stanley Ludgren, 33, a lift last night. On a lonely stretch of highway Pendergast said, Armstrong produced a 45 with the announcement: “This is as far as you’re going.” Pendergast stopped the car, pulled the keys out of the ignition opened the door, rolled to the ground, somersaulted once and came up with his own .45 pointed at Armstrong and Ludgren. The men surrendered meekly. Taken to the jail at nearby Needles, they were identified by Pete Harris, the constable there as the ones who stole two guns, ammunition, clothes and a suitcase from his home. Also a piggy bank. Pacific Clay Out; Sewer Men Look For Pipe Source Magnolia Trunk engineers will have to search out another source of pipe to complete construction of the big sewer line. Cohen’s Cop Feting Told LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jurors hearing the retrial of Harold Meltzer on a gun-toting charge heard how gambler Mickey Cohen picked up the check for entertainment of a police lieutenant. Meltzer, 39, estranged pal of Cohen, was arrested Jan. 15, 1949. Police said he was bodyguarding Cohen and carrying a gun. Meltzer’s first trial ended with a deadlocked jury. Lt. Rudy Wellpot, testifying yesterday, said that although it was true that Cohen wined and dined him several times, it was in his line of duty because he was checking on activities of Cohen and cohorts. COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT The Anaheim City Council conducts its regular semi-monthly meeting tonight in the Council Chambers, City Hall. Time is 8 p.m. Pacific Clay Out; Sewer Men Look For Pipe Source Magnolia Trunk engineers will have to search out another source of pipe to complete construction of the big sewer line. That’s the upshot of a report filed with JOS general manager Nelson Launer yesterday by Pacific Clay Products Co., whose Los Nietos plant was razed by a million dollar fire last week. The fire centered around special presses made for construction of the 39 inch vitrified pipe used in the Magnolia line. Launer learned. Last week Pacific Clay officials entertained slight hope that some of the presses might be salvagable for use at another location. Yesterday’s report indicated that all of the presses were destroyed. Launer was not sure just how much delay in the construction of the sorely needed sewage line would result. “We will try to work out the rest of the line with as little delay in ultimate completion of the project as possible,” he said. Launer indicated that a different type of pipe, probably lined concrete, will have to be used. Original plans called for as much vitrified pipe as possible. Pacific Clay Products was the primary local producer of the vitrified pipe, according to Launer. So far Pacific Clay has ready for delivery 6400 ft. of the original 16,000 foot order.
