VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHE Allied Artillery Smashes Series Of Red Chinese Feeler Attacks TOKYO (JP)—Thundering Allied artillery today smashed a series of Chinese attacks which Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet warned may be forerunners of a new red offensive in Korea. The United Nations ground commander foresaw no "major thrust immediately." But, he said on a tour of the fighting fronts, "the Chinese appear to be building up for another effort" to overrun U.N. lines. Neither Van Fleet nor the Supreme Allied headquarters of Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway would discuss a Russian cease fire proposal. Van Fleet said he knew nothing about it. "Of course, in our hearts, we all want peace," Van Fleet said. "But we won't let up on the enemy." Sharp fighting flared all across the central front as opposing armies continually probed enemy lines." Heaviest action was near Kumhwa, where a red battalion attacked a U.N. division last night. Allied artillery broke up the attack in the early morning hours. Other attacks followed until daylight. All were smashed. In the adjoining Kumsong sector, two other red battalions beat back Allied efforts to probe defenses in that red buildup area. One powerful Allied tank-infantry task force, with supporting artillery, picked its way through mine fields on the rugged northwestern front against scant opposition. It pounded a red ridge line guarding an important east-west road far northwest of Chorwon before withdrawing. A staff officer indicated it was the deepest recent U.N. penetration of this area. Allied patrols moved freely in the no man's land between Chorwon and Kumhwa, but ran into sharp skirmishes on the western front southwest of Chorwon. The North Korean army communique reported communist troops made limited gains in ground fighting and shot down five U.N. planes.

Ribal Named General Manager of Sanitation District Selection of Raymond R. Ribal, 50, assistants city engineer of the City of Oakland, as chief engineer and general manager of the Orange county sanitation districts, at a salary of $1000 a month, was made last evening by directors of the district, who also named Engineer Fred Bowlus of Newport Harbor, as consultant on the Joint Outfall line project, at $100 a day. They also fixed the sum of $23,123.62 as the price to be paid by the sanitation districts for personal property, including equipment and supplies, to be taken over from the Joint Outfall Sewer system. Exploration work on the new ocean outfall line will start within a month. It is expected, according to Engineer John Carolla of the engineering firms employed to modify the Bacon engineering plan. Carolla announced that the modified plan is complete except Los Angeles, and that changes are for final approval by the bond lawyers, O'Melveny and Myers of satisfactory to the county health department and water pollution board. Modifications of the original plan, he said, would bring the over-all cost well within the $8,308,000 voted in bonds for the program. One change involved treatment plan design, a major plant being planned at the site of the present JOS plant, with a smaller supplementary plant nearer the coast. Purchase of only 40 acres will be required, instead of the 160 acres originally proposed. Another major saving will be in construction of a new 60-inch outfall line paralleling the present 48 and 42-inch line between the two plants, (Continued on Page 4) Youth Will Receive Spotlight At Coming Orange County Fair Youth and its farm, home and school activities will take the spotlight at the 1951 Orange County Fair set for Aug. 15-19, inclusive, at the fair grounds located on former Santa Ana Army Air Base.

General supervisor of the ju Bunco Artist Changes Mind; Now Wants a Trial by Jury Raleigh Portwood, 23, Los Angeles negro janitor, accused of operating the short change racket at theaters in Anaheim and Santa Ana, today demanded a jury trial when he appeared in Santa Ana city court for trial without a jury. When arraigned several days ago on a petty theft charge, he waived a jury trial and a hearing was set for today. When he appeared however he was accompanied by Attorney George Chula, who also is defense attorney in the Henry Ford McCracken kidnap-murder case. Chula demanded a jury trial for Portwood and the date was set for July 17 at 9 a.m. The prosecution immediately countered by filling two more petty theft charges so that Portwood is accused of operating at all three of Santa Ana's major theaters, the Broadway, the West Coast and Walker's, where his attempt to short-charge the cashier was detected. Anaheim police also have a hold on Portwood and stand ready to prosecute him, when Santa Ana authorities finish with him. ANAHEIM GAZETTE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

At least 33,000 workers are to be dismissed for indefinite periods, with tens of thousands of others scheduled to follow later in the year. Some of these shutdowns, however, will be of short duration. The mounting dismissals brought from the CIO United Auto Workers union a demand for "speeding up" defense work in plants now being hit by materials shortages. The biggest of the layoff announcements came from Chrysler Corp., which said that it will cut 15,000 workers from its plants by Friday. Another 2,500 will be laid off in July, it said. Briggs Manufacturing Co. said is laying off 6,800 workers in Detroit area plants and 1,200 at Evansville, Ind.

Cannon (D-Mo) said today the latest military information is that Russia has 100 atomic bombs. Cannon made the statement in a speech to the house. He was urging it to approve a temporary measure providing funds to run the government until regular appropriations are passed. In event of war and Russian attack, Cannon said, military men say it could be expected that Russia could get through and drop 70 bombs on American cities. As chairman of the House Appropriations committee, Cannon often receives highly secret information from government officials.

The idea is to give Congress more time to consider a new, revised law. Without Congressional action to keep it alive, the present law will expire Saturday midnight. Influential Senators are fighting any such "stop-gap" move and there appears to be danger the WASHINGTON (AP)—The State department announced today that Russia had proposed the United Nations, North Korean and red Chinese commanders negotiate a Korean armistice. The Soviet Union suggested armistice terms limited "to strictly military questions." The proposal was made yesterday to Ambassador Alan G. Kirk by Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Gromyko in Moscow. Gromyko, the department said, "indicated that it would be for the military representatives of the unified command and of the Korean republic command on one hand and the military representatives of the North Korean command and of the 'Chinese volunteer units' on the other to participate." Masrollah Entezam, president of General Assembly, arranged return to Washington where he Iranian ambassador. Lie had was yesterday with Entezam as well as U.S., British, French, Indian and Mexican representatives the U.N. The belief was growing in U.N.cles that Moscow was deliberately withholding instructions to delegation here so that talks would be carried on in Moscow—meaning the U.N. would be byeased and the U.S.S.R. and the S. would make the arrangements, if any. The 16 nations fighting with the N. in Korea expressed their willingness in a statement yesterday "take part in action designed bring about a genuine and ening peace in Korea." But they do want guarantees that the red Chinese would get out and stay of Korea. This was expressed clearly by S. Secretary of State Acheson. told the House Foreign Affairs Committee in Washington yesterday that if a cease-fire could be arranged, the "greatest guaranty" against new aggression would be the withdrawal of Chinese troops beyond the Yalu river boundary between Korea and Manchuria. It is understood that yesterday's efforts between Kirk and Gromyko Moscow produced the suggestion that military commanders in field negotiate cease-fire terms. Efforts here to get clarification from Russia's delegate, Jacob Malik, failed. Malik broached the cease-fire idea originally Saturday in a U.N. radio broadcast. The acting Chief U.S. Delegate, best Gross, twice was denied an audience with Malik. A Soviet delegation spokesman said Malik had been ill since early in the week. The same reason was given by Malik's failure to meet U.N. embly President Nasrollah Enzam. Two School Vandals lated for Hearing Raymond Harrelson and Rich-Armendariz, both 18, are deduced to appear for a preliminary WASHINGTON OP—The House Banking committee voted 21 to 3 today for a 31-day extension of the present price control act. The idea is to give Congress more time to consider a new, revised law. Without Congressional action to keep it alive, the present law will expire Saturday midnight. Influential Senators are fighting any such "stop-gap" move and there appears to be danger the Saturday deadline may arrive without a new law or any action to retain the old one. In that case, the whole government control program would collapse. The Senate is driving to pass an entire new measure which would limit sharply the present control powers. But any new law must also have house approval. And a house-approved resolution extending the old law would accomplish nothing unless the Senate agreed to it. The House Banking committee also approved a one-month extension of the federal rent control program and the president's authority to control imports of fuels and oils. The extension would keep them all on the books until midnight July 31. Senator Maybank (D-SC) declared last night that several Senators "intend to talk and talk and talk" to kill any move in the Senate for a stop-gap extension of the old law. Such talk might easily turn into a fillbuster and thus end any chance of final Senate action before the present law expires. And even if the Senate should pass a new controls bill of its own, it still would be hamstrung by the house's stop-gap plan.

Gromyko, the department said, "indicated that it would be for the military representatives of the unified command and of the Korean republic command on one hand and the military representatives of the North Korean command and of the 'Chinese volunteer units' on the other to negotiate the armistice envisaged in Mr. Malik's statement." Jacob Malik, Soviet delegate to the United Nations, put forward the original cease-fire suggestion in a speech Saturday. Kirk, on instructions from Secretary of State Acheson, called on Gromyko yesterday to seek a clarification of Malik's speech. The State department announcement said: "The armistice, Mr. Gromyko pointed out, would include a cease fire and would be limited to strictly military questions without involving any political or territorial matters; the military representatives would discuss questions of assurance against the resumption of hostilities." Beyond the conclusion of an armistice the Soviet government had no specific steps in mind looking toward the peaceful settlement to which Mr. Malik referred. Mr. Gromyko indicated, however, that it would be up to parties in Korea to decide what subsequent special arrangements would have to be made for a political and territorial settlement." He said that the Soviet government was not aware of the views of the Chinese communist regime in Mr. Malik's statement. The implications of Mr. Gromyko's observations are being studied. The Department of State is consulting with the representatives of other countries having armed forces in Korea under the unified command."
