Only 14,000 head of cattle arrived today for sale at the nations 12 principal livestock markets, compared with 28,600 the same day a week ago.

ZETTE 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month NUMBER 156 Isn't Too Sure Soviets Could Korea War-If They Wanted To WASHINGTON (AP)—Secretary of State Acheson today called it "a hard question" whether Russia could stop the Korean war even if so minded. Acheson made the statement in response to questions at the Senate's MacArthur hearings. Previously, the Senators had heard top U.S. military men testify they believed Russia could call off the fighting in Korea. Like the military men, Acheson said he does not believe the United States has the military strength yet to prevent Russia from overruning Europe if the Soviets turn to aggression there. Senator Lodge (R-Mass) asked if Russia "has enough influence to bring enough pressure to bear to stop the aggression in Korea if it wanted to?" Acheson said: "That is a hard DIEGO, June 6—WAR WOUNDED RETURN HOME—One of the 168 patients returned here today aboard the Hospital Ship SS Consolation from Korea is lowered to the dock, to be put in the waiting ambulance for transfer to the naval hospital.

Church Schools Are Planned for This Summer Plans or vacation church schools in Anaheim, sponsored by the Anaheim Association of Churches, are well underway. Two schools will be held, one at White Temple Methodist church with the Wesley Methodist church and the Episcopal church cooperating and one at the First Presbyterian church with the Church of Christ, Evangelical United Brethren, Free Methodist and Church of the Nazarene cooperating. Schools will open June 26, and continue three weeks, four mornings each week, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The general theme will be "The Church." Morning sessions will include a study of the church, how it came to us, its growth and development, how we find our place in the program of the church and its value in the community and around the world. Program will include music, motion pictures, service projects, activity and wor- Like the military men, Acheson said he does not believe the United States has the military strength yet to prevent Russia from overruning Europe if the Soviets turn to aggression there. Senator Lodge (R-Mass) asked if Russia "has enough influence to bring enough pressure to bear to stop the aggression in Korea if it wanted to?" Acheson said: "That is a hard question for me to answer. It is purely in the realm of speculation. I think the Kremlin's influence will be very helplul if directed in that line." Also in response to Lodge's questions, Acheson said: 1. He believes "good use" is being made of the time which, as Lodge phrased it, "our men are buying for us in Korea." Acheson said: "Everybody involved in the effort wishes that things could go faster, but I don't know of any way myself in which they could be made to go faster." 2. He does not think that U.S. made a "mistake" when it pulled its troops out of Korea in June, 1849. Acheson said it was the recommendation of the United Nations, and also "the recommendation of our military establishment which thought our troops were much more seriously needed somewhere else." 3. He would not favor pulling U.S. troops out of Europe. 4. He agreed with Lodge it was a mistake for the U.S. to have disarmed so rapidly in 1948. Under questioning from Lodge and others Acheson defended the Yalta agreement. Lodge asked whether, in retrospect, Acheson did not think that agreement was "a tragic miscalculation." No, I don't share that view," Acheson replied. 51 Die in Brazil Train Accident RIO DE JANEIRO UP—A jammed commuter train hit a stalled gasoline truck near here today and a spokesman for the railroad said at least 51 persons burned to death in flaming gasoline. Forty-seven other persons were hurt. The general theme will be "The Church." Morning sessions will include a study of the church, how it came to us, its growth and development, how we find our place in the program of the church and its value in the community and around the world. Program will include music, motion pictures, service projects, activity and worship. Boys and girls of kindergarten through junior high age are invited to share in one of these schools. There are some special features where the schools will share in some afternoon activities which include a swim party, a watermelon feast, a picnic, etc. These 12 sessions represent the equivalent of what might be accomplished in regular attendance in Sunday school for a full year. Parents are urged to enroll children for the full time. Arrangements have been made with the city recreation program so that swimming lessons, etc., need not interfere with attendance and children may have the benefit of both these programs this summer.

Mackerel Fishing Curbed on Coast SACRAMENTO (P) — A bill curbing commercial mackerel fishing off Orange county went to the governor today. The Assembly voted to concur in Senate amendments to the bill by Assemblyman Earl Stanley (R-Balboa Island), although he said the limitation was not as much he wanted. The bill bans commercial operations with round haul nets and purse seines within a two-mile radius of Dana Point, San Mateo point and the entrance to Newport Harbor. It also forbids any week-end commercial fishing.
