Asians Talk New Korea Peace Plan LAKE SUCCESS (AP)—Thirteen Asian and Middle East countries met behind closed doors today to consider final terms of a new Korean peace plan. They were expected to submit the plan to the political committee of the U.N. Assembly later in the day. India's Sir Benegal Rau, leader of the peace efforts, said he still had received no word from the Chinese communists as to whether they would accept a previous appeal to halt at the 28th Parallel. Details of the new plan were kept secret, but informed quarters said the resolution would include an appeal for a cease-fire and probably would urge creation of a demilitarized buffer zone along the 38th Parallel, old dividing line between North and South Korea. The conference was held while the political committee, in a nearby room, continued its debate on a six-power resolution demanding withdrawal of the Chinese reds from Korea.

Southland Roasts As East Freezes LOS ANGELES (AP)—Southern California enjoyed one of the balmiest week-ends in its history, with a real hot spell hitting some communities. Ontario sweltered at 93 degrees yesterday. It was one degree less warm in San Gabriel. Los Angeles experienced the warmest Dec. 10 on record—87. By The Associated Press Freezing temperatures hit the southeastern states today as more snow swirled over an area from the New England states to southwestward to the Tennessee Valley. The snowfall was reported heavy at some points in New York state. Moderately strong winds in the northeastern states were attributed to a storm of moderate intensity centered off the New Jersey coast. Real Gold Closes For Alterations The Real Gold Citrus Products plant, 1460 N. Olive st., will close down for a period of three months beginning Dec. 15 to complete modernization and expansion, Robbins Russel, general manager announced. This plant has been in almost continuous operation for two years—even during its conversion to one of the first and top concentrates plants in the west. "The war crisis adds to the need for prompt action in completing the expansion and modernisation."

FARMERS OPEN DALLAS MEET DALLAS, Ter., (P) The man on the farm speaks his mind today and for the next three days at the 32nd annual American Farm Bureau Federation convention. Uppermost in the minds of the representatives of nearly one and one half million farm families is the threat of war, inflation, agriculture's role in defense and a possible labor shortage. These are expected to be the main topics threshed out in general sessions starting tomorrow. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m., today was 75 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 78 at 3 p.m. yesterday. Low was 47 at 4 a.m., today. Extended Christmas is coming and you can't miss it. You can't miss it even in our town where December means sunshine and flowers—and snowflakes are conspicuous by their absence. Jingle bells on pre-Christmas decorations tinkle in the breeze, the kiddies are writing earnest letters to Santa Claus, spicy smells of holiday cooking come from the kitchen, and fresh green Christmas trees are on sale at the corner grocery. As downtown stores began to fill up with Christmas shoppers, their owners always on the alert to provide the best possible customer service, pondered the problems which arose. "Christmas is a family affair," the shoppers were saying. "How is hubby going to get his shopping done unless the stores stay open at night?"

Hundreds of soldiers in trucks raced through the downtown sectors where the mobs were battling police, attacking Europeans and overturning and burning automobiles. About 5000 Malayans stormed for three hours at the Supreme Court building, where a hearing was underway on an appeal to return the 13-year-old child, Maria Bertha Hertogh, to her Malay foster mother and her Moslem schoolteacher husband. Then thousands of fanatic Moslems raged toward the Catholic convent, where the girl and her Dutch mother were reported in hiding. They threatened to kidnap the child and burn the convent "if it took all night." After eight hours, the mobs still were throwing stones and bottles, beating up Europeans, especially Dutchmen, and attacking vehicles. Several European women were (Continued on Page 4) Hampered Chief Near-Misses Fire Acting Fire Chief Ed Stringer just about didn't get to the fire yesterday. Call went out on a burning auto on E. Center st. in the afternoon. The truck, equipped with red light and siren, battled through Sunday traffic to the spot. But not Stringer. In an unadorned auto, no red light, no siren—indeed not much of anything, Stringer got himself lodged behind slow-moving cars with no means of escape. He was passed by a loud-sounding police car hurrying to the fire. When he finally got there, the rest of the boys were about ready to start back home. Stringer talked today to the city officials about an automobile more suited to a fire chief's needs. Maybe soon he'll be equipped to be at a fire first instead of County Wrecks Hurt Sixteen Over Weekend Sixteen persons were injured in a series of traffic accidents throughout Orange county over the weekend, according to police officials. Four persons were hurt when a car driven by Domingo Delgado, 31, Norwalk, failed to negotiate a curve on Placentia ave., south of State st., near Anaheim, at 12:50 a.m. Sunday. His car ran off the road, struck a telephone pole and a palm tree, and then turned over on its top. Injured were Delgado and three Norwalk girls riding with him, Jennie Martinez, 21, Augustina Martinez, 15, and Josephine Duarte, 20. All were taken to Anaheim Community hospital. Injured in other Orange county accidents were Russell W. Kanawyer, 38, Genevieve Kanawyer, 33,, and Gary Kanawyer, nine, all of Midway City; Robert A. Patterson, 31, and Pfc. R. L. Espindola, 22, both of El Toro Marine Base; Freddie Mays, 29, Los Angeles; Raymond E. Lopez, 25, Zeno M. Tonkins, 53, and Mrs. Mildred Tonkins, 46, all of San Diego; Cluff Christensen, 39, Sharon Fay Christensen, 17, and Hugh Keller, 27, all of Brea, and Gerald Ray Morgan, 15, of Santa Ana.

Departments is the fun of visiting departments with children. A man and his wife need an opportunity to shop leisurely together and we don't want to wait till the last few days before Christmas to do it." Well, there is nothing slow about Anaheim. When some folks said what they thought, other folks listened. Tonight, in response to customer demand, Anaheim stores, like those of most other communities in the Southland will remain open until 9 p.m. From tonight on until Christmas, most stores will be open to shoppers six nights a week until this later hour. If evening shopping is new to you, you will be surprised at the galery which prevails. Darkness seems to dull the usual city noises, and in the rosy glow of the lights everyone and everything takes on a bit of added glamour. Then too, convenient parking spaces are easy to find and the salespeople have more time to spend with each individual customer. In honor of tonight's opening, Penney's has planned something for the particular benefit of those who shop at this time. One of those famous Penney's sales that usually start first thing in the morning, will begin tonight. Good Buys There will be good buys in 81x 108 inch Nationwide sheets, all first quality muslin. On sale will be first quality 51 gauge nylon hose priced at $1. And Penney's entire stock of regular $1.49 ties will also be priced at $1. Santa will be in the toy department on the basement floor with candies on hand for all the kiddies. There is a third anniversary sale in progress at Brodles House of Lights. Pop-up toasters, waffle irons, coffee makers and electric irons have been priced ridiculously low to celebrate CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY Back For Christmas Shoppers ZETTE Weather S.

Recreation Activities Reach Attendance Mark Attendance at Anaheim Recreation Department-spondial activities soared to an all-time high during November, despite several days of rain and cold weather, City Recon Director Don Derr reported to members of the Recon Commission today. Total attendance for the month 1676, Derr's figures show, an increase of 1682 over November 1949. New activities account for much of the increase. Recreation fund as of Nov. 1 showed a balance of $7690. Expenditures to that date included: salaries, $5,385.75; supplies, $2,-493.62; car expense, $62.50; phone, $22.50, and miscellaneous, $1750. Original recreational budget was $15,000. For Marines WASHINGTON (AP)—The Marine Corps announced today that the First Marine Division suffered more than 30 per cent casualties in its desperate and successful fight to break out of a Chinese trap in Korea. This implies possibly 6000 to 7000 casualties in the three infantry regiments making up the division although the Marine Corps gave no specific figure. The casualties include those taken out of action by frost bite. Gen. Clifton B. Cates, commandant of the Marine Corps, announced he has received a report from Lt. Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd, commanding general, Fleet Marine Forces, Pacific, that he visited the division on Dec. 9 and found—"that they are in high spirits from the commanding general down, and the troops have their tails up." TOKYO (AP)—General Mac-Arthur flew to Korea today for a hard look at his heavily-his United Nations command. He said it remains unbeaten, relatively secure, and able to battle the Chinese hordes. His secret visit to both the northwest and northeast fronts came as the last elements of 25,-000 bone-cold, unshaven American Marines and Doughboys streamed down onto the Hamhung coastal plane from a series of red traps near Changjin-reservoir. A huge fleet stood off Hamhung's port of Hungham. But whether it would evacuate the weary, outnumbered U.S. 10th Corps units in the northeast remained to be seen. The northwest front was relatively quiet. There was a note of guarded op- (Continued on Page 4) Truman Studies Emergency Plan WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman today gave intense study to the question of declaring a national emergency—possibly to be followed by wage-price controls—and asked both Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders to meet with him Wednesday.

Expenditures to that date included: salaries, $5,385.75; supplies, $2,-493.62; car expense, $62.50; phone, $22.50, and miscellaneous, $1750. Original recreational budget was $15,000. Excerpts from the report. Activities were stepped up in both Fremont and high school gyms in preparation for the City and Church basketball leagues.
