Las Vegas Rocked by Fifth Atomic Explosion; Flash Seen in Los Angeles and on Video Screens LAS VEGAS, Nev. (F)—Another great flash of light in the pre-dawn darkness today signaled the fifth atomic explosion in 11 days at the government's new testing range northwest of here. Again there was the great blinding illumination in the dark sky resembling daybreak for just a moment. Clusters of watchers on the street corners called "there it goes" as the fireworks spread over the northwest sky at 5:48 a.m. PST. There is much speculation over what is being tested. Most theories have inclined to atomic weapons of some sort. But Jülian Hartt, aviation editor of the Los Angeles Examiner, said he had learned that the experiments involve a "trigger" for the H-bomb. The Atomic Energy commission began work on the hydrogen bomb more than a year ago but has said nothing of its progress. Hartt said that the H-bomb itself will be tested in the Pacific within nine or 10 months. Experts have agreed that the H-bomb could be set off only by an atomic explosion. Approximately five and one-half minutes after the flash, two great concussion waves rolled into town and gave buildings stiff, separate jolts. The shocks seemed about as intense as one which rocked the city last Friday, and broke a window in downtown furniture store. The flash itself was visible again in the Los Angeles area—some 300 miles away—despite a fog. Watchers said they saw it as a dim white glow through the mist. Los Angeles television set viewers also caught a glimpse of the in a downtown furniture store. Many witnesses said the brilliant flash—turning to a rosy-orange—blinded them temporarily. Gil Martyn, a broadcaster for TV station KTLA, said the shock waves knocked window screens off the walls of a hotel. These waves were followed by rushing warm air along the ground, he said. A roulette wheel operator said gamblers ducked under tables in a casino and one porter locked himself in a closet. All agreed on one word, "terrifying," to describe the blast.

Wilcox Talks Oranges For Kiwanis F. R. Wilcox, assistant general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, was the principal speaker at today's meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club. He told of the rapid growth of the industry over the past few decades in production and the rapid way in which the changes came in handling and getting the crop to the consumer. He noted that in 1935 with the advent of single strength canned juice came increased plantings and sales. In the last few years has come the new frozen concentrate which again has added new consumers of citrus fruits. Wilcox believes that before this crop year is over the citrus industry will have ceiling prices on fresh as well as canned products in which the price will be set at parity.

Center St. PHONE ANAHEIM 2713 PART TIME TAX EXPERTS Each year during the income tax filing season there appears all over the country the part time "Tax Expert." Usually these individuals follow lines of endeavor during the rest of the year which have no remote connection with either tax recording or accounting. Usually armed with a dollar tax book and with little or no more knowledge of the complex tax structure than the persons whom they serve, they offer bargain prices and "big refunds." Having no regular place of business, they escape the normal overhead of the established professional man who maintains an office for the convenience of his clients. When the Bureau reviews the return, they are gone and the taxpayer must face his problems with the Bureau of Internal Revenue alone. For your protection against the possibility of unqualified persons preparing your income tax returns, look for the State of California Board of Accountancy Permit, or check by mail or phone with the State of California Board of Accountancy, 145 South Spring Street, Los Angeles 12, California, telephone MAdison 6-1515. This information is submitted by the Anaheim Committee of Public Accountants and Certified Public Accountants in the public interest. The Rev. Edwin H. Pfug adds: "Since Lent of last year many things have happened. The world outlook is much darker than a year ago. A dark and threatening cloud hangs over the hearts of men and of nations. In fear of more dreadful things to come many outside the church involuntarily expect the Christian church to do something about it. Everything else has been tried and applied—in vain." The public is invited to attend these as well as all other services at Zion Lutheran church. Society is built upon trust, and trust upon confidence in one another's integrity. South. Vice-president Art Shipkey, presiding in the absence of President Wilson Phelps who is still confined to his home, read some congratulatory letters from the heads of Kiwanis International on the thirtieth anniversary of the Anaheim club.

Register Scolds Personnel Dept. For Wage Survey The Santa Ana Register today teed off on the Orange County Personnel dept., for a "wage survey" which the county has sent to employers throughout the county. The questionnaire is 15 pages long and asks for a report on the jobs in an establishment and the rates of pay. The Register became disturbed when it found that it would take one person a day and a half to fill out the form. Apparently, when the job is applied to some 325 Orange county firms, the Register feels a lot of valuable man-hours will be wasted. The Register also notes that the county department concerned has grown from a budget of "nothing prior to 1948 to $21,407 for the current fiscal year." Here is the Register's statement on the matter: A heavy fall of paperwork, issued by the Orange County Personnel dept., in connection with its wage survey, has Orange county firms (concerned with using their employees' time on county work) wondering over the whys and wherefores of the survey. Approximately 325 Orange county firms are recipients of a 15-page questionnaire from the personnel department in which the management is asked to report the number of specific jobs in their organisations and the rates. Approximately 325 Orange county firms are recipients of a 15-page questionnaire from the personnel department in which the management is asked to report the number of specific jobs in their organizations and the rates of pay, according to David H. Goodman, $545-a-month personnel department head. The questionnaire, which Goodman said had been drawn up by members of the personnel department at the request of the county Board of Supervisors, asks firms to report on up to 50 different job classifications. The head of one business house estimated it would require 15 minutes of an employee's time to provide information for a single classification. He said a day and a half of work would be required for the 50 classifications on which the personnel department wants information. Goodman said an accurate figure of the county's cost in preparing the survey is not available, but he estimated some $500 in county funds would be spent in addition to the regular cost of operating the personnel department. He added that a similar type of survey, conducted by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph co., is available to the supervisors, but that this survey did not meet "all our needs." In addition to Goodman the department has Ernest Jenkinson, personnel technician at $375 a month, and two full-time women employees, one at $200 a month and one at $165 a month. Goodman said he also spent "about $500" for extra help during the present fiscal year and expects to boost this to $750 in the coming year. The budget for the department has grown from nothing prior to 1948 to $21,407 for the current fiscal year. No estimate of the 1951-52 budget was available at this time.

"We are going up this 40-mile sector in central Korea, biting off big chunks of land in double enveloping movements. We are isolating these units and killing as many as we can." An intelligence officer estimated that the two Allied columns striking out of Anyang killed 700 reds and wounded 800 Tuesday. This did not include enemy casualties due to Allied air and artillery barrages. "There no longer is any doubt about the whereabouts of the enemy," an Allied officer said. "They are right here where we are." The hills are alive with Chinese and Korean reds. They were digging in everywhere, despite an estimated Allied toll of 57,000 dead and wounded reds in 13 days.

Anaheim Republicans Pick Foreign Policy As Top Issue for 1952 Campaign WASHINGTON (P)—Republicans chose foreign policy for their chief issue as they started a search today for the dollars to finance the 1952 campaign. In a howling political field day at a Lincoln Day box supper here last night Republican leaders accused the Truman administration of pushing the country to the brink of all-out war. Members of the Senate and House charged that the Democrats had bungled the campaign in Korea, had stymied military preparedness and had encouraged inflation at home by unwise policies. To translate these charges into tangible campaign assets, Senator Dirksen (R-III) called the GOP Senate campaign committee into session to see what can be done about raising some $200,000. That is the amount party leaders think ALL OUT SUPPORT FOR FUND.
