Marine Prisoners of Chinese Reds Six Months, Tell of Capture, Escape SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Sixteen Marines who were prisoners of the Chinese reds in Korea nearly six months were at Treasure Island naval base here today preparing to leave for their homes on 30 day leaves. The 16—and two others who still are hospitalized in Japan—managed to escape from their communist captors during a United Nations attack near Chinchon. Captured last November 30, they rejoined their units May 25. The return home for one of them—Sgt Charles W. Dickerson, (P.O. Box 93), Tarzana, Calif.—was marked with sadness. He recently learned that his mother, Mrs. Alberta Peterson, was killed in an auto accident and was buried June 11. But for the rest, the occasion was one of supreme happiness. Driven north by the Chinese reds as U.N. forces advanced, the prisoners finally made their break for freedom during the especially heavy Allied accack. "When the shells started hitting home," said S/Sgt. Charles Harrison, of Tulsa, "the reds started retreating on the double. They began running one way. We ran the other. We holed up in a deserted Korean house." Five of the group of 18 Marines and one soldier stripped wallpaper from the house and used the torn pieces to spell out "POW'S—19—Rescue" in six-foot letters.

NEUEAUER These things I commute you that ye may love one other—John 15:17. REMINISCENCE — Why is it that the past has such a strange allure? Why is it that "the gloomy Old Days" bring back such recollections? Why is it that much glamor and romance is attached to the back-breaking ships of the pioneer days? Actually, there is no time to the present. Now, we are alive vibrant living beings. In studying the men and women who formed the Los Angeles Vincyard society, it is not at difficult to read between those musty old historical lines and their disappointments, heartaches and disallusions. Ofmar Caler, the first president of the little group, must have been a dreamer—a romantic who had brilliant visions of the future. He must have been distracted when he withdrew from the venture. PIONEER—George Hansen was actually had a hand in the original building of the colony from the time it was first surveyed un When the shells started hitting home," said S/Sgt. Charles Harrison of Tulsa, "the reds started retreating on the double. They began running one way. We ran the other. We holed up in a deserted Korean house." Five of the group of 18 Marines and one soldier stripped wallpaper from the house and used the torn pieces to spell out "POWS—19—Rescue" in six-foot letters in a nearby field. Chinese stragglers fired on them several times, but the message was spotted by Allied planes and three tanks rescued the group and carried them back to U.N. lines. Others in the group, who arrived here yesterday and were guests of honor at a Marine Memorial club banquet last night included: Cpl. Ernest E. Hayton, 26, Route 26, Box 199, Julian, Calif.; Cpl.

Otmar Caler, the first president of the little group, must have been a dreamer—a romantic who had brilliant visions of future. He must have been disappointed when he withdrew from the venture. PIONEER—George Hansen actually had a hand in the original building of the colony from time it was first surveyed until it became a reality; must have been a pioneer builder. He had a certain amount of experience but apparently was unable to make accurate estimates of labor costs. He was constantly getting in hot water with officers of the shareholders group in San Francisco. While he was laying out the colony he was always writing San Francisco for more money. Once or twice the colonists—fifty shareholders—were actually assessed to meet Hansen's demands. Minutes of the San Francisco meetings indicate that temp often flared. Hansen wasn't letter writer. He was negligent making progress reports to superiors. PROGRESS—When the stock holders came to settle their part cultivated lands, Dec. 15, 1887 August Langenberger, Juan Paico Ontiveras' son-in-law, brightened up. Apparently, living on a wide open ranch was not meant for him. He moved into the settlement built a big adobe store on the main stem and became Annheim's that right—leading me chant. In 1860, Langenberger put the first hotel. HISTORY—Although the best historical documents don't match it, those pioneers must have had trouble because Orange county and Southern California as whole, was flea bitten neck of the woods. In the days of the horse-and-buggy fleas were everywhere and they weren't particularly. It wasn't impolite to scratch—not even the best social circles.

Clayton former Undersecretary of State United Airlines Pilots on Strike CHICAGO (UP)—A strike of pilots today halted all commercial, non-military flights of the United Airlines (UAL). A spokesman for the AFL air line pilots association, which started the strike at 4:55 a.m. E.S.T., said about 900 pilots—“all of them”—were off duty. A UAL spokesman said all the line’s commercial, non-military flights in the United States—600 to 700 per day—were grounded. However, pilots flying the air lift to Korea remained on the job. The UAL in Philadelphia canceled all its air traffic there. It planned to transfer passengers who hold reservations to other lines wherever possible. The UAL in San Francisco informed passengers by telephone that the flights had been cancelled and that ticket refunds would be made. UAL’s only non-military flight out of the country—to Honolulu—was halted along with all domestic flights. Union headquarters in Chicago said it expected the strike to have no effect on the operations of other air lines. A spokesman said pilots of other lines will cross picket lines of UAL strikers. The union said it had pilot members in the service of 41 air companies. UAL reported it was using this plan for its grounded customers: Other air lines provided seats for as many passengers as they could. Train reservations were made for others.

Compton, former president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both for two year terms. Secretary of Defense Marshall one of a number of military congressional and other leaders witnessing the signing, hailed the act with reservations as "a step of historic significance" and added: "It will enable us to face the uncertainties of an explosive international situation with the knowledge that we can be strong militarily without having to imperil our security economically, no matter how long the present world tension may continue. And it will permit us thereafter to continue strong militarily in keeping with our great purpose of promoting the peace of the world." Marshall said "the law does not contain all the provisions the Defense Department would have desired, but I am confident that Congress will enact the necessary supporting legislation to carry into actual effect the historic principles unified in the Bill. "The objective of universally shared obligation for the defense of our country on a basis that we can support is now within our grasp, for the first time since George Washington began the pursuit of this goal a century and a half ago." Earlier he told a graduating class at the National War College that he felt some of the changes Congress made in passing the measure were intended to stymie the whole procedure. The bill as sponsored by the Defense Department would have made universal military training automatic at the end of the present crisis. Santa Anan Leads Panther Jet Raid Strikes in Korea TOKYO (AP) — Capt. Thomas Hurst, Santa Ana, Calif., led a flight of Marine Panther jets Sunday in battlefront attacks against reds. A ground unit commander reported 50 reds were killed when Hurst's flight bombed and strafed a communist company on a ridge. A delayed report said Lt. Charles H. Burgans, Jr., 27, 709 West st., Healdsburg, Calif., killed an estimated 30 reds Saturday night when he caught a 15 truck troop convoy near Haeju.

Department budgets, as estimated by County Auditor L. H. Eckel, will aggregate $15,360,561 for the new fiscal year, beginning July 1, as compared to $14,546,212 for the current fiscal year. The increase of $814,249, however, may be covered sufficiently by a $700,-000 carry over in welfare and hospital funds to prevent a rate hike, Eckel believes. Principal cause of the departmental budget increases are salary advances and allocation to the supervisors last year cut back to $327,500, but have tentatively increased this year to $750,000. Building items tentatively in the budget include $60,000 for an Anaheim-Fullerton judicial township court building; $125,000 for remodeling the county juvenile home in Santa Ana; $200,000 participation in the proposed federal-state-county health department building and $385,000 unallocated.
