Semi-Finalist Truman, Attlee Assert Support of UN Charter WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman and Prime Minister Attlee said today they hope for a peaceful settlement of the Korean crisis but that if the Chinese communists do not share this attitude the United Nations will decide what actions to take. “For our part,” the two asserted in a final communique on their week long talks here “we declare in advance our firm resolve to uphold” the principle of the U.N. Charter. The 2000-word communique is announced: 1. President Truman told Attlee he hoped it would never be necessary to use the atomic bomb and that he intends to keep Attlee informed “of developments which might bring about a change in the situation.” 2. The British and American leaders agreed that consideration of the Formosa question in the U.N. will contribute to the maintenance of peace and security in the Pacific. This has been the American position all along and Attlee now supports it. 3. The two frankly recognize their policy split over Britain recognition of communist China and America’s recognition of the Chinese nationalists on Formosa but expressed determination “to prevent it from interfering with Helen Weir Hits Semi-Finals in Philco Contest Helen Weir, Miss Anaheim of 1950, is a semi-finalist in the current Miss Philco contest, her sponsors, R.

Other shipments will be made right away, but it will be a month before the harvest is in full swing. Kennedy urged that Chambers of Commerce and other organizations withhold recommendations on reapportionment until his organization can "clear" all proposals. Only by concerted action can reapportionment be obtained to the best benefit of Orange county, he asserted. Kennedy plans conferences with state legislators from this county to obtain suggestions on reapportionment and possible realignment of the present 22nd District, which includes Orange, Riverside, and Imperial counties. The Republican Central committee of Orange county is expected also to figure in recommendations because the district has a Republican Congressman, John Phillips. Army Cancels Yule Leaves WASHINGTON (AP)—The Army today cancelled a general 10-day Christmas furlough for soldiers in training camps.

TOKYO, Saturday, Dec. 9 (AP)—A great column of U.S. Marines and Infantrymen made “good progress” Friday in a desperate fight to crack through Chinese communist traps and reach the Korean east coast for probable mass removal by sea. A U.S. Tenth Corps announcement said two new threats menaced the battered force, south of Koto, however. A “large” column was forming south of the Allied escape route, apparently preparing to slide in ahead of the 20,000 retreating Americans and a few British marines, and further block their escape effort with fresh Chinese forces. The airfield behind the Allied column—its only link with the outside world—was brought under red attack. AP correspondent Stan Swinton, at Tenth Corps Headquarters, said authorities continued to maintain tight security silence on the exact location of the breakout column. Swinton said Soviet-built MIG-15 jets and American F-80 jets clashed in a dogfight at 18,000 feet over the U.N. breakout column. Results were not known, Swinton said, and the number of planes in the fight was not given. The corps spokesman said the breakout fight had not passed the critical stage but the day’s operation could be characterized as “successful.” Thousands of other U.N. troops scattered in the northeast also were trying to reach the escape port. In northwest Korea, only patrol contact was reported along the newly-formed Eighth Army defense line. Top American Naval and Marine officers conferred secretly on a ship off the stormy east coast.

Plows engaged in clearing the streets merely sliced at the fringe of the drifts and actually heaped more snow onto the cars.—(Associated Press Wirephoto.) Nothing to Get Up in Air About LOS ANGELES (F)—People gawked at the spry little woman as she applied tar to the steep roof of her rooming house. Clinging to a rope she had lasooed around a chimney, Mrs. Bessie Hale wielded a heavy brush with gusto. "I don't see what is so unusual about it," said the Norwegian-born widow as she descended a ladder yesterday for more tar. Mrs. Hale is 81 years old. Price Man Sees No Ceiling Need Washington (P)—Price stabilizer Michael V. Disalle said today the government, definitely, is making plans for a ceiling on prices but sees no reason to freeze them now. Such a ceiling would necessarily be coupled with a lid on wage increases, but Disalle told a news conference he hoped any freeze would not be necessary. In any case, the former Toledo mayor said his price agency would be unable to impose a general ceiling for 60 to 90 days because of a lack of staff, space and administrative organization. Disalle is director of price stabilization in the economic stabilization. East States Prepare for Surge of Cold Air, Snow A surge of cold air and snow moved into the eastern states today after damaging winds and rain whipped across the storm-harassed area. At the same time, the midwest shoveled out of the season's heaviest snowfall and the south got some relief from a severe cold snap. New Magnolia Pipe Bids Asked In order to assure delivery in time to complete the Magnolia sewer line, the Anaheim City Council yesterday authorized advertising to be let for 7600 feet of steel pipe, two motors, and two sewage pumps. The equipment will be used in the Ellis ave., force line which will carry the sewage from the Magnolia trunk to the treatment plant. At yesterday's meeting, Mayor Charles Pearson also appointed Robert Mungall chief of the communications division of the disaster commission. Mungall, an electrical engineer, was selected because of his working knowledge of communications equipment. This appointment completes the initial organization of the disaster. Winds of gale force which battered Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland yesterday, swept into the New England coastal region today. Shipping was hampered. Power lines were knocked out. The strong winds uprooted trees and blew off rooftops of houses in many parts of the storm belt. The snowstorm over the mid-continent left a carpet of white measuring as much as 44 inches in northern Michigan. There was much drifting but forecasters said the winds would diminish during the day. Rising temperatures also were in prospect, with no sub-zero predicted tonight. Snow, however, continued today over most of the north central region. An inch-thick ice coating covered most of Ohio after a mixture of rain, sleet and snow that ranged up to 3.7 inches at Cincinnati. Such a ceiling would necessarily be coupled with a lid on wage increases, but Disalle told a news conference he hoped any freeze would not be necessary. In any case, the former Toledo mayor said his price agency would be unable to impose a general ceiling for 60 to 90 days because of a lack of staff, space and administrative organization. Disalle is director of price stabilization in the economic stabilization agency. He spoke at a conference held jointly with economic stabilization administrator Brian Valentine and wage stabilization board chairman Cyrus S. Ching. All made it clear that a wage-freeze, widely rumored in the last few days is not imminent. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m., today was 70 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 71 at 2:30 p.m., yesterday. Low was 47 at 3 a.m., today. 1951 Chevrolets Unveiled Tomorrow Anaheim gets its first look at the new 1951 Chevrolet tomorrow at the Cone Brothers Agency official showing.

Fourteen passenger body types are included in the 1951 line. Along with passenger cars, the new 1951 Chevrolet trucks go on display tomorrow. WARREN JAILED; FLEES TO MEXICO CALEXICO (AP)—The man behind the bars looked suspiciously like the governor of California. And it was Earl Warren. His crime: A beardless face in the midst of Calexico's annual border days fiesta. It was all in fun, and the governor was released after a few minutes in the Elk's mobile hoosegow yesterday. He headed for the border immediately to seek shelter with Gov. Garcia Gonzales of Baja California, in Mexicali. Ban Slapped on China-Russ Trade WASHINGTON (AP)—The Commerce Department today banned American ships and planes from carrying strategic materials "anywhere in the world" destined for communist China or Soviet Europe. The ban is effective immediately. It applies to movement of weapons, fissionable materials or strategic industrial goods consigned between any two points outside the United States, even intermediary points if the goods are to go to those areas. The ban likewise was made applicable to shipments destined for Hong Kong or Macao, the British and Portuguese ports off China, to insure that goods will not be forwarded from those ports into communist China itself. So far as China is concerned, the ban would apply to any goods whatsoever — strategic or not—since any shipment to China now must be licensed, and licenses are not being granted. It would not, however, shut off hauling of non-strategic goods destined for the Soviet block in Europe.
