Reds Deride Asian Halt China Plea
LAKE SUCCESS (AP)—Russia's Andrei Vishinsky today derided a direct appeal by 13 Asian and Middle East countries to Peiping to halt its forces at the 38th Parallel in Korea.
He spoke before the U.N. Assembly, which soon afterward voted 51 to 5 (Soviet bloc) to place on its emergency program a resolution designed to halt communist Chinese intervention.
Vishinsky said red China and its people want peace, but that it must come after the withdrawal of U.N. forces from Korea.

He spoke before the U.N. Assembly, which soon afterward voted 51 to 5 (Soviet bloc) to place on its emergency program a resolution designed to halt communist Chinese intervention.
Vishinsky said red China and its people want peace, but that it must come after the withdrawal of U.N. forces from Korea.
The Soviet foreign minister told the emergency session of the assembly that the 13 Asian and Middle East countries which appealed last night for the halt at the parallel were the same powers that supported crossing the 38th Parallel when U.N. troops were advancing.
India, which sparked the newest direct peace plea to communist China, abstained from voting for the northward crossing of the parallel.
The Philippines, Egypt and nine other Asian and Middle East countries joined India in the new appeal last night.
Freeway Payment Set Out of Court
A third dispute over condemnation of Manchester blvd., property for Santa Ana Freeway development went off calendar today as out-of-court settlement was reached, shortly after the second action was settled by a jury in Superior Judge Kenneth Morrison's court.
Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy E. Ater, who have property at northwest corner of Manchester blvd., and Harbor blvd., where the state took a slice of 500 feet long, accepted $5000 payment and took the case out of court.
It was scheduled to go to trial just as soon as Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Laws, who sued for more money for their chicken ranch property at Gilbert st., and Manchester blvd., settled their differences with the state by way of a jury.
The jury gave the Laws $19,000. He valued his ranch at $40,000; the state's highest appraisal was $18,-500. The jury deliberated one hour and 20 minutes to reach a decision after hearing the dispute for more than a week.

Auto Price Line Shatters as Ford, General Motors Announce. Increase
DETROIT (UP)—The price line in the automobile industry was caved in today at two major points.
Ford followed General Motors with a boost in car prices. The two increases approximated five per cent or more.
Higher costs and materials shortages figured in both actions.
Only Chrysler of the industry's "Big Three" had yet to announce its price intentions. Chrysler's 1951 model cars come out in January.
Anaheimer Sues For AUWC Sale
Wilson W. Phelps of Anaheim alleged today that they won't sell him 10 acres of land with 10 shares of Anaheim Union Water Co., stock that goes with it.
He sued in Superior Court to compel sale of the property for what he said is an agreed price of $31,000, as of last Nov. 25 when he said he put $1000 into escrow.
He charged that Louise B. Luther, William Stoner, Robert Stoner, Jessie MacDonald, George F. Towne, Robert Towne, Elinor Murphy, Isabel Wallhouser and Thomas E. Griffin didn't go through with the sale.

Attlee Says No Chinese Appeasement
WASHINGTON (AP) — Prime Minister Attlee today ruled out any "appeasement" of red China as a solution for the world crisis and said Britain will stand beside the United States in Korea.
His declaration was made in an address to the National Press Club, delivered immediately after his third conference session with President Truman.
This third Truman-Attlee session brought a formal announcement of one decision.
A White House statement said the two heads of state agreed vigorous efforts must be made to increase production and assure
14th Wedding Catches Eye Of Nation
The Paul Nelsons of Placentia were married in Anaheim last night and the whole nation knew about it.
For the 14th consecutive time since the original service December 5, 1936, the two said their vows to, as Mrs. Nelson put it, after the ceremony last night, "reaffirm our faith in the divine institution of marriage—the institution that too many people take for granted these days."
Usually the Nelsons hold their annual wedding before a small group of friends. Not so last night.
Monday night, the story of the impending ceremony was relayed by the Gazette to the Associated Press. Tuesday morning it ticked across the teletypes in newsrooms all over the country.
Radio announcers picked it up all day long yesterday, many broadcasting it as a welcome contrast to current divorce items.
On request of New York, the Los Angeles bureau of the Associated Press sent crack photogra-
His declaration was made in an address to the National Press Club, delivered immediately after his third conference session with President Truman.
This third Truman-Attlee session brought a formal announcement of one decision.
A White House statement said the two heads of state agreed vigorous efforts must be made to increase production and assure most effective use of available scarce raw materials.
The full implications of this pronouncement were not immediately clear.
At its broader limit, it could mean greatly stepped up mobilization program for both nations, putting their economies on virtually a war footing.
Possibly pointing that way was an announcement from Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex.) at the Capitol. Johnson said the Senate Armed Services committee was delaying defense hearings because they defense officials are revising (Continued on Page 7).

Winter Delivers Double Punch Of Snow, Cold to Middle US
By the Associated Press
Winter season's two-ply pumice of snow and cold landed sweeping blows across the nation's mid-section today. Some of the Southern and Eastern states were in the path of the wintry blasts.
The cold air pushed temperatures to new seasonal lows in parts of the north central region. It swept over the midwest prairie lands and across the Mississippi river, sending temperatures to sub-zero levels. It moderated as it fanned into the Eastern and Southern areas. The cold belt extended from North Dakota to the Texas Gulf coast.
It was biting cold in the midlands early today. Readings were more than 20 below zero in the Dakotas. Temperatures also dipped to sub-zero levels in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas. The rest of the midwest was in for below zero weather tonight.
The winter season's official start was more than two weeks away but today there was a blanket of snow covering more than 1200 miles from north of Lake Superior into Arkansas and 400 miles across from Iowa to Northwestern Ohio.
Fresh falls of snow preceding the cold air hit heaviest in Minnesota. There were 12 inches at Duluth and 11 inches at Minneapolis—with falls of some six inches since yesterday.
Chicago had two inches of wet snow and there was a similar amount at Kansas City, St. Louis, fall measured three inches, while the white covering at Wichita Falls and Vernon, in northwest Texas, was two inches. There was a light fall in Dallas.

General MacArthur's headquarters kept secret the locations of the new line. The Americans, South Koreans, British and Turks of the Eighth Army with their better transport had outrun the Chinese and every hour was vital in bulwarking their new positions.
A spokesman said only that the line ran from a point south of Pyongyang to positions south and east.
There were indications the new line might be somewhere near Parallel 38, the old border between red North and Republican South Korea. South Korean forces swept into hill country to clean out guerrillas near Sibyon, a hamlet 70 miles southeast of Pyongyang.

WASHINGTON (F)—The situation of United Nations ground forces in Korea is looked upon as "very grave" by a high Pentagon official who sees scant hope that diplomatic negotiations can change warring red China mind.
But neither this drill nor cannot be named nor others in the Pentagon appeared today to have anything resembling a sure-fire plan for stemming with Allied arms alone the tidal wave of a (Continued on Page 2).
County Names Nurse Director
Appointment of Mrs. Dorothy L. Kaladic to be director of nursing services at Orange county general hospital was agreed upon by the board of supervisors late yesterday.
Mrs. Kaladic, now in Honolulu as nurse-director of a hospital there, won't take over right away; she will be on the job about Jan. 15 after visiting her family in Wisconsin.
She will succeed Mrs. Esther DeTemple, who resigned after a row over her dismissal notices to four student nurses she claimed had violated regulations.
Franklin Teacher Named New Broadway Principal
Chester M. Fowler, sixth grade teacher at Benjamin Franklin school, was named today as the new principal of the Broadway school by Anaheim school superintendent M. A. Gauer. School board members chose Fowler as the new principal at a meeting yesterday afternoon.
Fowler replaces Mrs. Blanche Graves Daniels, Broadway principal for 27 years, who died Monday morning.
Mrs. Mary L. Fitz is currently the acting principal at the Broadway school.
With the imminent disbanding of the Broadway school, it is likely that Fowler will continue on as principal of the new Thomas Jefferson school, now nearing completion, Gauer indicated.
Fowler, whose appointment becomes effective Jan. 2, 1951, has been teaching sixth grade at Franklin for five years.
He came to Anaheim from Sioux City, Iowa, where he taught for several years. His total teaching experience comes to 24 years. He taught elsewhere in Iowa as well as Nebraska.
