CHICAGO, July 13—MILITIA BREAKS UP MOB—Illinois National Guardsmen try to break up large crowd, mostly teen-agers, who gathered near an apartment building in subruban Cicero last night. Teen-agers charged into troops to toss a flare atop the building, started a fire which quickly put out. A negro family recently rented an apartment in the building.—Associated Pre-Wirephoto). TV Spectators Watch Oil Fire; Garage Burns Bayonet-Swinging Guardsmen Battle Race Riot in Streets of Cicero TV Spectators Watch Oil Fire; Garage Burns LONG BEACH (UP)—Mr. and Mrs. Victor Elliott were watching the Union Oil Co. fire at Wilmington, 10 miles from their Lakewood home, on television last night. The pictures were so realistic they commented to one another that it seemed as though they could smell smoke. As a matter of fact, they could. When Mrs. Elliott investigated, she found the garage in their backyard was ablaze. It burned to the ground. Ike a Presidential Candidate? Harry Says Job Long Term WASHINGTON (UP)—President Truman has added to the confusion about 1952 presidential prospects by saying there is no time limit on Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will remain as commander of the North Atlantic forces. Some Republicans who want "Ike" to become their presidential candidate next year have been hoping Eisenhower could step out early in 1952 and turn the defense job over to somebody else. They apparently were assuming he had promised the president to serve a year to get the program started and then would be free to resume his civilian role as president of Columbia university—or some other job. The prospect that Eisenhower might still be in uniform next June when their nominating con- Bayonet-Swinging Guardsmen Battle Race Riot in Streets of Cicero CICERO, Ill. (UP)—A racial housing dispute, simmered for three days, erupted into a full-scale riot last night. Bayonet-swinging National Guardsmen and police battled unruly, brick-throwing mob in Cicero streets. The 450 Guardsmen and police fought the hooting, ing men and women—all white—for more than two hours before quelling the riot. No Negroes were at the scene. None lives in Cicero, a city of 70,000. But it was the renting of an apartment by a Negro family that touched off the first disturbances Monday night. Last night's fighting, as a crowd of 4,000 milled near the apartment building, climaxed three nights of disorders. Eleven persons, including three soldiers and three policemen, were hospitalized. Some of the civilians were cut by bayonets. Others were injured by stones and bricks hurled at the soldiers and police from among the incensed throng of about 4,000. An unidentified number of civilians suffered bruises and cuts in the melce between the mob and steel-heldeted soldiers and police in one of the worst riots in the Chicago area in several years. Police cars were overturned. Lighted flares were tossed into the windows and onto the roof of a 20-apartment building—focal point of the disturbance. Firemen dodged a barrage of rocks and stones to douse the fires. Police rounded up 50 persons after the crowd had dwindled during the early morning hours. They were taken to the Cicero police station for questioning and were held without charge. Order was established at the scene—a residential district in this community of 70,000—shortly before 1 a.m. (EST), more than two hours after the fighting broke out. About 250 Guardsmen were as- McCacken Trial Adjourns for Weekend Following Hearing of Five Witnesses More links in the chain of evidence being forged by District Attorney James L. Davis in the state's effort to convict Henry Ford McCracken, 34, of kidnapping and murder, will be brought before the jury in Superior Judge Robert Gardner's court in Santa Ana Monday. The district attorney, who charged in his opening statement to the jury yesterday that McCracken had violated the dead body of his victim, little Patty Hull, 10, of Buena Park, summoned five witnesses to the stand before the day's session ended with a weekend adjournment. Mrs. Terry Hull, mother of the child, broke down completely on the witness stand as she identified an enlarged photograph of the blonde little girl she had sent happily away to a Saturday matinee at the Valuskis theater in Buena Park, May 19, never to see her alive again. The prosecution charges that McCracken lured Patty from the theater to his motel cabin nearby where he killed and then unspeakably mistreated her, afterward burying her body in Live Oak canyon. Defense Attorney George Chula, commencing his cross-examination of the grief-stricken young mother, spoke gently to her, expressing his "deepest sympathy from the heart." That was after she had left the stand in a state of collapse and later resumed her testimony. Chula did not require her to identify the clothing Patty had worn that day. He accepted the identification of Capt. Tom McGaff of the Sheriff's identification bureau, who had the garments Patty was wearing when her grave was located May 24. Leonard Dale Hull, the father, was next on the witness stand. Also testifying yesterday was Emma Jean Shaw, 10, of Buena Park.

The new security treaty, extending the series of such postwar compacts this country has with the North Atlantic nations and the American republics, was initialled yesterday. It is part of a general settlement of the Pacific phase of World War Two which is now being put into final form, and is expected to be signed at San Francisco early in September at the same time as the Japanese peace treaty. In the Pacific pact, the three nations proclaim "publicly and formally, their sense of unity, so that no potential aggressor could be under the illusion that any one of them stand alone in the Pacific area." In the treaty itself and in statements by their envoys, the governments forecast that the compact Resumption of Commie Removal Dramatic Impersonator to Tell Life Of Moses at Union Church Service Wilmington Oil Fire Expected To Burn All Day WILMINGTON (UP)—A $2,000,-000 gasoline tank farm fire roared on today but firemen reported it confined.

Juvenile Hall Bids For Remodeling Set for Aug. 14 Bids will be opened by the county supervisors Aug. 14 on the contract to enlarge and remodel the county juvenile hall on Fruit st., Santa Ana, expected to cost about $123,000. Additions planned for the structure will house a small-girl unit, allowing separation of the younger ones from the teen-age girls, and also will provide a "security" wing for older boys, now required to be kept in a juvenile tank at the county jail, a procedure frequently criticized by county grand juries and the state youth authority. A school unit, apart from the main hall, also will be built. Remodeling of the main building will consist chiefly of fireproofing, as recommended long ago by the state fire marshal and Fire Chief John Garthe of Santa Ana. To Burn All Day WILMINGTON (PA)—A $2,000,000 gasoline tank farm fire roared on today but firemen reported it confined. They said they were reasonably sure it would not spread but it was expected to burn all day. A dense layer of black smoke hung over the harbor area like a gigantic shroud. Civilian and military firemen fought the fire which let go yesterday afternoon with the explosion of four 80,000-barrel gasoline tanks on the Union Oil Co. farm. Four other tanks caught fire. For a time the tremendous blaze threatened Army, Navy and Coast Guard establishments in the harbor area. Cause of the fire was undetermined, one theory being that it was static electricity. Elsewhere 12 men were killed and three injured in two other explosions in industrial plants yesterday in Indiana and Illinois.

The cars in the foreground were pulled to safety by a tractor. Other cars (top) rest on flooded dails. It was the first time in current history that this area had been flooded. Many cities and towns all along the river were water-filled after torrential rains sent the Kansas out of its banks. (Associated Press Wirephoto) KANSAS CITY (AP) — Surging flood waters crashed over levees at this metropolitan confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers today and officials ordered immediate evacuation of the vital central industrial district. Rolling in muddy crests out of eastern Kansas where scores of cities and towns were struggling with overflows, the Kansas (Kaw) river by midmorning had inundated the Armourdale and Argentine districts of Kansas City, Kas. Then levees on the east, protecting the Missouri side, began crumbling. City Manager L. P. Cookingham immediately ordered evacuation of the industrial district for the first time since 1903. In this area lie the city's famous stockyards, the Livestock Exchange building, the American Royal Stockshow arena, the Armour and Co., packing plant, numerous other heavy industries and the Burlington and Frisco railroads roundhouses. The flood began backing up through the city sewers. The Turkey Creek pumping station of the city water plant was threatened with a shut down. More than 600,000 persons using city water were asked to conserve supplies in anticipation of a shortage. The city water system also supplies many suburban communities. Back along the raging Kaw river, and in other flooded basins of that state, rescue and lifef teams were hard pressed. Aircraft from many areas including the Coast Guard from York City, were busy at night efforts but lowering skies is flying difficult. The floods claimed nine life Kansas and two in Missouri this week but vigilant disaster lief workers apparently had vented any new loss of life. An early morning overflood the Kansas (Kaw) river fled the Armourdale and Argentine districts in Kansas City, Kaw licking at the heels of the 6000 residents who had been ed from Armourdale during night. Some fled with ent clothing they were wearing. Gasoline from a half-submerged filling station caught fire on the wild dawn exodus and so to a lumberyard and warehouses Firemen, fighting their through the swift flowing succeeded in controlling the after nearly a four-hour fire. The conflagration broke an area filled with huge yards, grain elevators and plants. Water damage to properties was unestimated. ZETTE 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month NUMBER 182 In of Truce Talks Await Removal of Armed Troops SEOUL, Korea (P)—The Allied command told the reds today: Korean war cease-fire talks will be resumed only when United Nations delegates have unrestricted movement in an area free of armed guards. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway sent that virtual ultimatum to top communist commanders after the reds rejected an Allied demand that news correspondents be accepted as part of U.N. personnel in the conference area. The supreme commander demanded that: 1. The reds get their armed guards out of Kaesong—original site of armistice talks—or agree to meet somewhere else. 2. End "unreasonable and unnecessary restrictions" on his negotiators and let them move freely. 3. Accept anyone he names as part of the U.N. delegation. Ridgway's message was broadcast just two hours and 20 minutes after the reds rejected the third point, originally made yesterday by Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief U.N. negotiator. DR. ENSIGN Now Moses at the end of his life living his own story of his thrilling experience in emancipator and legislator. By his realistic words, actions and gestures, Dr. Sign will make the congregation imagine that they themselves are actually present 3200 years ago at some great assembly of children of Israel in sight of Promised Land where Moses, our beloved leader, was telling life story. For those who heard and saw the Presbyterian pastor do "I Am Joseph," last summer, this performance will be thrilling sequel. The service will open with the congregational hymn period, led Dave Collins. The Rev. John Ball Saville, rector of St. Miel's Episcopal church, will preface Mrs. Joe Burk will be at the an.

Then he went to a missionary to south China (Continued on Page 8) Kansas City urban communities. Back along the raging Kansas river Allied Troops U. S. Eighth Army Headquarters, Korea, (P)—Allied troops today advanced up to three miles through heavy red gunfire in a limited objective attack on the east-central front. The fighting, southeast of the red base of Kumsong, was the main ground action in the Korean war. U. S. night fighter planes shot down two small red planes near the Allied peace camp at Munsan, one Thursday night and the other Friday. While cease-fire talks in Kaesong remained stalled, there were persistent reports of red buildups behind the lines. But an Allied officer on the western front said there was nothing to indicate the reds were preparing to launch an offensive in the immediate future. He said, however, their "capabilities are increasing." Latest estimates placed enemy strength at 350,000 men across the front and immediately in reserve. An Allied patrol in the west Thursday observed a Chinese communist company southeast of Kaesong, at the edge of the neutral zone between Munsan and Kaesong. Farther southeast of the neutral zone, the same Allied patrol was fired on by about 50 reds. Costume Day Set For Thursday in City Park Show Hallowe'en will be four months early in Anaheim this year, at least to all appearances. The City Recreation department is planning a costume day, Thursday the 19th at 2 p.m. Costume be decked children, 10 and under, will invade the City park on that particular afternoon for "Costume Day." Divisions for costumes from foreign lands, costumes relating to nursery rhymes, animal costumes, cowboy and cowgirl costumes, hard luck costumes, early American costumes, comical costumes, couple costumes and other miscellaneous costumes will be judged and prizes will be donated by Terry's Boys shop. Ribbons will be given to first second and third in site of armistice talks—or agree to meet somewhere else. 2. End "unreasonable and unnecessary restrictions" on his negotiators and let them move freely. 3. Accept anyone he names as part of the U.N. delegation. Ridgway's message was broadcast just two hours and 20 minutes after the reds rejected the third point, originally made yesterday by Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief U.N. negotiator. The rejection came from North Korean Gen. Nam Il, chief red cease-fire delegate, in a reply to Joy. Nam suggested the delegates meet at 1 p.m. Friday (8 p.m. Thursday, PDT) for further discussions. The U.N. answer came at 1:15 p.m. in Ridgway's expanded demands. Joy said Thursday that negotiations would be resumed as soon as the communists agreed to pass any U.N. personnel designated by the Allied command, including newspapermen. Nam replied: "Neither side's news reporters or news representatives can come into the area until both sides have agreed." This reply was delivered to a U.N. liaison officer at 10:35 a.m., but the Allied command did not announce it until 12 hours later—after Nam's message had been (Continued on Page 4) Anaheimer Dies While in Montana Mr. Otto M.

Aircraft from many areas, including the Coast Guard from New York City, were busy at rescue ports but lowering skies made the situation difficult. The floods claimed nine lives in Kansas and two in Missouri earlier this week but vigilant disaster relief workers apparently had prevented any new loss of life. An early morning overflow by the Kansas (Kaw) river flooded the Armourdale and Argentine districts in Kansas City, Kansas, killing at the heels of the last of 100 residents who had been herded from Armourdale during the night. Some fled with only the thing they were wearing. Gasoline from a half-submerged station caught fire during the wild dawn exodus and spread to a lumberyard and warehouse. Crews, fighting their way through the swift flowing streets, succeeded in controlling the blaze nearly a four-hour battle. The conflagration broke out in an area filled with huge freight yards, grain elevators and other units. Water damage to these properties was unestimated. Public Service Tonight Culminates Union Vacation Bible School Series Public services will be held tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Christian Church, Helena and Broadway which will mark the close of a successful Union Vacation Bible School. The school has been in progress for three weeks, the upper division comprising the children from the fourth grade and above has met in the Presbyterian Church, the lower division consisting of children of the third grade and under has met in the Christian Church. The theme of the school has been "The Church." The emphasis has been placed upon the Church as the body of Christ and not upon the various denominations which represent that Church. The school itself has been an actual demonstration of the unity of believers within the Church for five different local churches have been united in this endeavor; the Christian, Evangelical-United Brethren, Free Methodist, Nazarene and Presbyterian churches. Tonight's evening services are open to the public, particularly the parents of the children which have attended the school and the members of the churches cooperating will find interest in the service. The opening portion will follow the pattern of the daily worship service of the upper division school. The work done by the children during the school will be exhibited in exercises by the children and in the showing of the handwork. The children of the first grade will quote Scripture verses and sing, "Climb Up Sunshine Mountain"; second graders will repeat "the Golden Rule" and sing, "This Little Light of Mine"; third graders will give the Twenty-third Psalm and sing the Zaccheus song. The first form of the upper school will have a Scripture quization and pictures of the Church; on the formation of the Church; (Continued on Page 8)
