Doctors List Smog Ill Effects LOS ANGELES (AP)—Out of a clear sky, the first mass medical survey on the injurious effects of smog was released today by the County Medical association. Of 2803 physicians responding, only 138 said they believe it has no ill effects. Another 104 declined to give an opinion. Dr. Richard O. Bullis, president of the association, urged that the problem be solved "before it is too late." The number of doctors reporting that smog affects the eyes: Anaheim Jails Carnival Fighters Jack W. McCormick and Cecil J.

Claim Communists Come from South LOS ANGELES (P)—An undetermined number of communists are "unquestionably" getting across the border from Mexico in the greatest "Wetback" invasion in history, says H. R. Landon, district director of Immigration and Naturalization. "We have found communist literature on a few of them, but we turn back so many thousand allens attempting illegal entry that it is impossible to screen them all," he said yesterday. Landon said 224,000 aliens were turned back last year by his agents in the 200-mile stretch of border between San Diego and Yuma, Ariz. By comparison, he said, 1000 were turned back in 1939 and a like number in 1940.

Superior Judge Kenneth E. Morrison will grant a new trial of the condemnation suit, he notified attorneys for the state today. Judge Morrison said that motion by Mr. and Mrs. Laws for a new trial would be denied if the state will agree to the $1500 increase in the judgment. A jury had allowed Mr. and Mrs. Laws $16,500 for the chicken ranch and $2500 for the well site. Attorneys for Mr. and Mrs. Laws moved for a new trial claiming that the judgment was insufficient. Judge Merrison held that the allowance for the ranch was enough but that the judgment for taking the well site should have been $4000 instead of $25,777.
