That was the outcome at a joint meeting of the City Council and the Planning Commission yesterday afternoon as Councilmen informed the latter group officially of the changes they desired in the Commission’s rezoning map and ordinance as submitted. What remains now is for the Planning Commission to incorporate the indicated changes, which they accepted yesterday by resolution, in the map and ordinance and hand the revised and completed editions of the two documents back to the council. Council then hears reading of the ordinance twice and 30 days later it becomes law. Councilmen indicated yesterday that they would ask one more interview with planning consultant Gordon Whitnall before proceeding down the home stretch. Changes made by councilmen yesterday were relatively minor ones. Unchanged was the recommendation of the Planning Commission to extend light manufacturing district farther into southeast Anaheim. The southernmost boundary of light manufacturing under the current zoning ordinance is Water st. Under the proposed zoning ordinance, the M-1 district will be extended south to a point just north of South st. Between Santa Ana and South sts., the east and west boundaries of the M-1 zone are East and Olive sts. Between South and Vermont sts., and east and west boundaries are East st., and the Santa Fe tracks. The block on which the Jefferson school is located is zoned, under the proposed ordinance, as multiple family residence. An R-3 (Continued on Page 4) No County Reds Have Signed Up More than six weeks ago, the county, called upon all communists who reside here, work here or regularly travel through the county, to register with Sheriff James A. Musick. So far, not one communist has complied. County Ordinance No. 590, enacted by the board of supervisors last Oct. 17, covers not only communists but also members of any "fellow traveler" groups, since it specifies as a communist organization, any which engage in "consistent propagation of support for, or adherence to, without substantial deviation," the programs, policies and objectives of a foreign communist government, foreign communist organization, or any agency in which is vested control or direction of the world communist movement." Any which promote the strategy or tactics of foreign communists, or recognize foreign communist disciplinary power over its leaders, or directing or encouraging its members to travel abroad for instruction or training in communism, likewise were designated as covered by the ordinance. Registration requirements include name or alias, place of residence, name and address of employer, if any, or name and address of place of business; also the names of all communist organizations with which the individual is affiliated. The ordinance, as an emergency measure, was effective as soon as passed, but allowed 10 days more in which the communists could make their preparations to regain control of City Park Is Proposed In response to a suggestion of the Anaheim Gazette that the Anaheim City Park be named for the late Rudolph Boysen—or that an appropriate memorial be erected to his memory—petitions have begun to circulate in the city to call the suggestion to the attention of the Anaheim City Council. The Gazette advanced the idea when leading citizens asked the paper to insure that proper recognition be given by the city to the man who developed the Boysenberry and who is largely responsible for the widely-recognized floral and landscaping beauty of Anaheim's City park. Twenty-five Anaheimers at the Optimists club meeting last night signed the petition which reads: "We, the undersigned, respectfully request the Mayor and City Council of Anaheim to consider naming the Anaheim City park in memory of Rudolph Boysen, with whose name the development of the park is synonymous—or consider the erection of a suitable memorial in the City park to perpetuate the memory of the man whom work is so much in evidence in the beauty of the park; as well as to recognize one of Mr. Boysen's contributions to his fellow man, the Boysenberry. In addition officials of the Anaheim American Legion Post (of which Boysen was a member), signified this morning their backing of the move to create lasting memorial to their long-time comrade who did so much for the beautification of the City of Anaheim. As the petitions made the rounds, many Anaheimers hastened to affix their signatures to the document. Army Issues Call For 50,000 Men In February WASHINGTON (P)—The Army today issued a draft call for 50,000 men in February. The February call brings Fullerton Bus Case Heard in Court Today Fullerton City Council today seeks to withdraw its answer to the Pacific Electric Railway's injunction suit against the city's proposal to operate a fleet of passenger buses throughout Orange county and to Los Angeles. Argument on the city's motion to strike its own answer was set for hearing late today in Superior Court, Santa Ana. No opposition to the motion is expected from the Pacific Electric but may come from Fullerton City Attorney C. R. Allen, who filed the answer on behalf of the city, the council, and other city officials named as defendants, as well as for himself individually. Mayor Thomas Eadington and the council contend that the city attorney acted without instructions in filing the answer for them and the city, so employed attorney Walter B. Chaffee as special counsel to seek withdrawal of their defense to the Pacific Electric suit. City Attorney Allen and J. S. McKnight, chairman and general manager of the Southern California Transit Authority, which the city organized to operate the bus service, remain as the only defendants opposing the suit. Allen, who is also secretary of the Transit Authority, contended he filed the answer to protect all defendants from whatever default judgment might be entered in the absence of an answer. The Pacific Electric sued as a Fullerton taxpayer to void what it termed an illegal contract, that between the Transit Authority and the Municipal Service corp., of Los Angeles, owner of the buses, and also a defendant. Registration requirements include name or alias, place of residence, name and address of employer, if any, or name and address of place of business; also the names of all communist organizations with which the individual is affiliated. The ordinance, as an emergency measure, was effective as soon as passed, but allowed 10 days more in which the communists could make their preparations to register. Sheriff Music had his registration blanks all ready then, and still has, but nobody has stepped forward to fill one out. "Ho, hum," said the sheriff today. "Business is slow." Failure to obey the ordinance constitutes a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine, up to $500, and imprisonment up to six months in jail. 20-30 Serves at Santa Ana Frolic 20-30 club of Anaheim will be active at the Santa Ana Frolic tonight.

Douglas MacArthur said today his lack of authority to strike at the Chinese reds across the Manchurian border from Korea is "an enormous handicap, without precedent in military operations." MacArthur said the position of United Nations forces is serious and critical but not hopeless—"unless one completely discounts the combined resources of the free nations engaged in the Korean conflict." His statements were made in a copyrighted interview, to be published in the magazine U. S. News and World Report next week. MacArthur said it would be "inappropriate at this time" for him to comment on the possible use of the atom bomb in the Korean fighting.

Willoughby, told reporters today the situation in Korea is not desperate and implied the atom bomb is not needed to halt the Chinese red counter-offensive.
