Fur Bearing Cows It's no joke. Buffalo bulls have been crossed with Brahma cows to produce the "Brahmalo." Hal Boyle tells you about it on the editorial page of today's Gazette. See Page 4. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEL Stepping Up of Atom Bomb Tests Set for Future WASHINGTON (AP) — The Atomic Energy commission (AEC) is planning "much more frequent tests" of its weapons in the future. It was announced yesterday at a news conference in connection with AEC's tenth semi-annual report to Congress. The report was made public today. At the conference it was also disclosed that the United States has developed some weapons that have a bigger "bang"—that is, greater "energy release" — than others. The commission said that was one of the reasons why some weapons have been tested in remote Enjwetok while others with lesser "bang" have been tested in Nevada. "One of the considerations (in choosing testing grounds) is hurting somebody," AEC chairman Gordon Dean told reporters.

Chula reviewed the prosecution's chain of evidence against McCracken, link by link, probing for the weak ones. He read long passage from the transcript of testimony seeking to prove his contention that the state had failed to build a case against the defendant. Today he made a special attack on the autopsy testimony of Dr. Raymond Brandt, county autopsy surgeon, which he said was contradictory and not worthy of consideration. Dr. Brandt testified that Patty died of loss of blood and three major skull fractures in McCracken's cabin. He said that she had been beaten by a "sharp, weighted instrument," which left 15 deep scalp wounds. He said the condition of her body indicated that she had been criminally mistreated after death. McCracken said the child died in a fall from the kitchen table when she tried to climb out a window. Chula insisted to the jury that McCracken had told them the complete truth about all details of the May 19 death of little Patty, who was lured to his cabin, in fact, almost dragged there by the wrist, after he met her in the Valuskis theater, the prosecution charges. McCracken said the child (Continued on Page 5) Doye Ford Named Agency Supervisor Doye Ford, Reliance Life Insurance Company agent in Anaheim, was today named as agency supervisor in the Southern California department. He will have his office at 111 N. Los Angeles st., Anaheim. Ford came with Reliance as agent in April of 1946 and became district manager in 1948. The commission said that was one of the reasons why some weapons have been tested in remote Enjwetok while others with lesser "bang" have been tested in Nevada. "One of the considerations (in choosing testing grounds) is hurting somebody," AEC chairman Gordon Dean told reporters. "When they get very large (in energy-releasing capacity) we take them away from people." The commission did not make it clear whether the weapons differed in actual physical size. AEC has previously disclosed that it is working on the development of atomic warheads for guided missiles and artillery shells as well as on bombs. To Congress, AEC reported: 1. Continued progress so far in 1951 in military and peacetime applications of the atom—including advances towards developing atomic-powered submarines and aircraft. 2. Increased acquisition of uranium ores and stepped-up production of fissionable materials from them. 3. Achievement by the United States of the No. 2 spot among "the free nations" in the production of uranium—second only to the Belgian Congo. (Sumner Pike, a commission member, said some time ago that the U.S. had surpassed Canada to take over second place.) Asked at the news conference how the United States compares with Russia in uranium production, Dean answered: "You're in the field of intelligence there and almost anything I say gets us into trouble." The commission announced at the news conference completion of an experimental device with which it hopes to determine whether it will be actually possible to "breed" or create new atomic fuel at a rate faster than operating fuel is consumed. First operation of the "breeder" is scheduled to take place in about two or three weeks. There was no mention in the report to Congress of how things are going on the projected hydrogen bomb.

A federal grand jury, after short session, acted against them on criminal conspiracy to adhere overthrow of the government of the United States by force. In the government's latest move against communist leaders they were arrested last Thursday in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. One of those indicted was William Schneiderman who is described as the pinch-hit national pay leader since the conviction of top party leaders in New York last year. After the indictments were voted by the jury they were present to Federal Judge James Carti However, it was then found that was a minor typographical error in the indictments and their form return in court was delayed until this could be corrected.

Has Them No one, including the City Fathers, the Anaheim Union Water Co., officials, or Anaheimers generally, knew it, but for years the City of Anaheim has improved, regulated and policed four streets in the city which were not legally in its province. The facts concerning the case came to light recently when a citizen sued for eight and a quarter feet of a supposedly city-owned water alley bordering a lot he had purchased. A search through old records discovered the interesting fact that the alley was the property of the Anaheim Union Water Co., which had acquired the streets and alley-ways of the original Anaheim colony from the Los Angeles county Vineyard Society in 1860. The deed gave the AUWC "1165 acres bordered by North, East, South and West sts., with the exception of the 50 vineyard lots." In the case of the disputed 8.25 feet of alley, the AUWC settled the matter today by filing a disclaimer to the property and so cleared the title for sale to the purchaser. A court ruling in the case which decided that the seller had acquired title to the 8.25 feet by adverse possession also served to divest the city of any rights in the water alleys of the town which had not already been improved. The settlement agreed upon today by attorneys for the city, seller, purchaser and the water company provides that the water company quit-claims its right to the 8.25 feet of alley-way, thus forestalling any action by the city against the purchaser, and deeded the remaining streets and alleys to the city. Water, Broadway, Cypress and Wilhelmina sts., are the ones affected. Actually, according to Leo J. Sheridan, secretary-manager of the AUWC, the water company was not concerned by the fact (Continued on Page 5) County Accidents Six persons were injured in various Orange county traffic accidents during the past 24 hours three of them in Santa Ana, official reports disclose.

Shuts Down as New Talks Slated ABADAN, Iran (P) — A red-haired Scotsman pushed a button today and halted the last gasoline producing machine of the world's largest refinery—closed in the bitter oil row between Britain and Iran. The Anglo-Iranian Oil company's giant plant at Abadan Island has been slowing down production for the past month. Today it ceased altogether because no room remained in the acres of storage tanks to put any more gasoline, kerosene and other products. More than a month ago the traffic of oil tankers was halted by the nationalization dispute which centered over Iranian seizure of the AIOC's vast holdings. Both the Iranian government and AIOC demanded payment for oil shipments and, as a result, the company pulled out its tankers. Meanwhile U.S. trouble shooter W. Averell Harriman returned to Tehran from London today smiling and confident that "no further difficulties" stand in the way of new British-Iranian oil talks. President Truman's special envoy said he had only a few minor points to clear up with the Iranian delegation before a British delegation headed by Richard Stokes, Lord Privy Seal, would come here from London. House Approves States Control Of Coast Strip WASHINGTON (P)—The House has decided the states have undisputed right to the riches of their submerged lands for three miles out to sea—ten and a half miles in the case of Texas. That includes the vast deposits of oil already known to lie under the coastal waters of Texas, California and Louisiana. But yesterday's 265 to 109 roll call decision by the House is still far from becoming law. It must be acted upon by the Senate, and, if passed there, would go on to President Truman. The president in 1946 vetoed a similar bill, and Congress did not master enough strength to override the veto. The states and the federal government have for years disputed ownership of the submerged—sometimes called tidal—lands. Besides oil, they may contain almost any of the other riches of dry land, such as coal, iron, copper. The bill passed by the House makes these main provisions: 1. Gives coastal states, except Texas, title to land for three miles out to sea. Texas gets title to 10½ miles out because the terms under which she was admitted to the union specified that her boundaries ran out that far. 2. Gives states ownership of oil and other minerals under their submerged lands. 3. The federal government gets full power from the state boundaries out to the edge of the continental shelf. That is where the sea bottom falls off steeply, forming the oceanic deeps.

Selective Service said that per cent of the 42,500 freshtest May 26 earned scores 70 or better as did 64 per cent the 53,000 sophomores, 72 percent of the 44,000 juniors, and per cent of the 18,500 seniors. Selective Service said that samples indicate that about 40 percent of the students in the lower portion of their classes and per cent in the upper part scored 70 to better. Henry Chauncey,, president the Educational Testing Service Princeton, N.J., which administered the test and compiled the results, said earlier this week that examination was "pitched most ideally as to level of difficulty." Chauncey said studies of the relationship between test scores college grades at 23 institute showed that results are "quite satisfactory in all instances," gardless of the field of study." Draft board have been asked to use the test scores and schastic records in determining whether to defer individual lege students.

The capsule, in the shape of a three-inch long plumb bob, was used to detect defects in the pipe line. A police car with a loud speaker warned residents in the area not to handle the capsule if it is found. Radiations from it are capable of causing severe, possibly fatal burns. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Los Angeles gambler Mickey Cohen, jailed on an income tax evasion conviction, probably won't know for another 10 days if he's to be freed on bail. Attorneys Glenn A.

ZETTE 51 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month NUMBER 194 Bruce Negotiators Continue Headlock Over Location Of Neutral Korean Buffer Zone U.N. ADVANCE HEADQUARTERS, Korea (P)—Armistice negotiators argued stubbornly for an hour and 34 minutes today on where to draw the cease-fire line in Korea without getting any closer together. It was the fifth successive day United Nations and communist delegations devoted to the buffer zone issue. The announced result of each session was the same: No progress. "The area of disagreement has neither broadened nor narrowed," an official U.N. spokesman said. The reds want U.N. forces to abandon their present battle line and pull back to the 38th Parallel. Delegates meet again at 11 a.m. Wednesday (8 p.m. Tuesday EST) in their 16th session at Kaesong for another try at breaking the deadlock. "There was no indication of a compromise to be made." Aided Warplanes Hammer Red 'Iron Triangle' Areas U. S. Eighth Army Headquarters, Korea (AP)—Allied war planes swept through low clouds today and hammered red positions in the "Iron Triangle" on teh western front of Korea as ground fighting again dwindled to patrol activity. Primary target of Fifth Air Force planes was the area around Pyonggang; northern areas of the shattered old red troop-massing area. Mustangs of the 10th Fighter-Bomber wing made the attack. "We strafed a lot of troops on the road and napalmed (fire bombed) a nearby village," said Capt. Gerald R. Marshall of Woodrow, Pa. "I don't know how many troops we killed. "We set off an explosion in the village—apparently a combination of gasoline and ammunition. It really went up big." Marine fighters and B-26 bombers hit the Kumsong area east of Pyonggang. Reds between Kumsong and Kumhwa, eastern Allied-held sector of the old triangle, hurled two light probing attacks at Allied lines early this morning. Both were turned back. Those were the only attacks of any kind reported in the U. S. Eighth Army's evening communique. There were a few patrol clashes, but generally the communique reportel little or no contact between opposing forces. Nineteen flying boxcars swooped through low hanging clouds to within 400 feet of the ground and dropped supplies to these forces. They parachuted 70 tons of ammunition, barbed wire and rockets to troops on the ground that could scarcely be seen through the mists.

Delegates meet again at 11 a.m. Wednesday (8 p.m. Tuesday EST) in their 18th session at Kaesong for another try at breaking the deadlock. "There was no indication of a compromise to me today," commented the briefing officer, Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols. "On the other hand, as you know, a position can be adjusted very quickly. That is neither optimistic nor pessimistic." The official U.N. communique said: "There was no perceptible change in the viewpoints of the two delegations" in Tuesday's sessions. Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy amplified the Allied position, the announcement said, trying to show "the mutual benefit to be derived from acceptance of this view." North Korean Lt. Gen. Nam Il replied by repeating "the previously stated stand." The U.N. wants the demilliarized zone established along present battle lines, cutting across North Korea for more than 80 miles. The reds want a buffer zone centered on the 38th Parallel, pre-war political dividing line of North and South Korea. South Koreans demonstrating in their temporary capital at Pusan shouted: "We oppose any cease-fire at the damned 38th Parallel." Thousands paraded through the busy streets of the southern port city Tuesday shouting "on to the Yalu." They carried banners announcing "we oppose to the death any cease fire without unification." There was a similar demonstration in Soeul Saturday backing the South Korean government's demand to unite all Korea from Pusan to its southern tip to the Yalu river at its northern border with Manchuria. Tuesday's paraders — including long bearded patriarchs, their gray haired wives and small grandechildren — wound past the U.S. information building and the second logistical command headquarters.
