The Clymer's suit is based on a traffic accident in King City last January 17. The mayor's reply is that whatever injury or damage the two plaintiffs may have received was the result of their own negligence. Wesley Clymer sued for $116,-570.70. Henry Clymer demands $58,478 damages.

As president at the time the Amendment was approved by the Republican controlled 80th Congress, Mr. Truman was specifically exempted. Thus he would be permitted to run for a second full term in 1955 even though his White House tenure would then fall within the ban set out in the new Amendment. He has not said whether he will run.

Units Presidents to Two Terms Prove It, But Truman Excepted The term to be elected twice last night to approve the Amendment. Nevada completed action at 4:30 p.m., (PST), becoming the 36th state to ratify the Amendment. The Constitution requires that Amendments to it be ratified by three-fourths of the states—or 36 at present—to become law. A two-thirds majority in Congress is required to submit amendments to the states. The new amendment could be repealed by the same procedure, of course, just as the 18th-Prohibition — Amendment was repealed by the 21st. It was ratified on Dec. 5, 1933. Nevada legislators had stood by to grab for their state the honor of being the 36th state to ratify TOKYO (P)—An American regiment cracked the main Korean red defenses on the east-central battlefront today after Doughboys in the same sector smashed five fierce communist counterattacks. The reds were being chased into an uncharted mountain wilderness. "We have broken their main line of resistance," said Col. William R. Quinn, commander of the U.S. Seventh Division regiment that broke through the reds on the east-west highway from Pangnim to Wonju. "But we're not letting them rest," he told A.P. correspondent Tom Stone. "We're going in after them and we're going to sweep them out of the hills and the valleys and caves." Quinn said his riflemen and artillerymen were taking "a terrific toll" of the enemy. Our casualties have been amazingly light—he added. He described the terrain into which his troops were chasing the reds as "wild and unmapped." Supplies were being carried on backs across ridges so steep that my men literally are having to crawl up them. "On one pinnacle the reds knocked us off the rocks," he said. All along the central warfront United Nations forces moved ahead steadily but cautiously. The five Korean red counterattacks were hurled back by the U.S. Second Division in pre-dawn darkness some 15 miles southeast of Hoengsong.

Bonnie suffered minor injuries, doctors said. Anaheim may have the first municipal court in Orange county under the new state constitutional amendment passed at the last state election. The amendment sets up such courts in districts having a population of 40,000 or more. According to an analysis of the new amendment and its effect in this county, just presented to the County Supervisors by Deputy County Counsel Steven K. Tamura, Anaheim's municipal court would commence operating Jan. 1, 1952. There still is a possibility, however, that the plans could go awry if there are changes made in supplementary legislation and if two judgeships are created in the county's only other judicial district, Santa Ana. This situation exists because, as stated by Tamura, the amendment provides that where there are more eligible judges than there are judgeships in a district the existing courts continue to function until the election of a judge at the next general state election. In Santa Ana district there are two eligible judges, Justice Howard Cameron of the present Class A Justice court, and City Judge Ronald Crookshank, of Santa Ana City court. In Anaheim district, there is only one eligible judge, Justice John Shea of Anaheim. In each remaining township, according to Tamura there would be one justice court superceding the existing justice and city courts, the latter courts being abolished under the amendment. Finals of the contest were held in Anaheim high school Liberty Theater last night with seven contestants participating. No Anaheim Future Farmers entered the final Hobkirk received a $25 prize contributed by the Future Farmers and a gavel for his first-plain speech, "Prosperity and Conservation."

Judges were Dr. Ken Hueless of Anaheim Toastmasters; Miss Louise Hitt, AUHS drama instructor, and Walter Wood, agricultural instructor at Fullerton Junior College.
