A Boil Over Oil What direction will the city council take on the much discussed oil drilling dispute tomorrow night? For one direction of thinking, see "Without a Paddle" on page 2. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Jury Selections For McCracken Trial Under Way Examination of the jury that will try Henry McCracken a second time for the alleged murder of little Patty Hull, 10-year-old Buena Park girl last May 19, got under way this morning in Superior Judge Robert Gardner's court, where a special venire of 50 men and women reported for service if elected. McCracken today faced only the charge of murder, two other counts having been settled by the first jury, which, however, could not agree on the murder verdict. That jury convicted McCracken of child stealing and acquitted him of kidnapping little Patty, whose death took place in McCracken's motel cabin in Buena Park, after she had accompanied him there from a Valuskis theatre.

The planning commission hold at its meeting that the electorate should decide the future of oil drilling in this city. Another important subject to consider is the report, just delivered, of the Board of Fire Uderwriters of the Pacific which classifies Anaheim as a Class A city for fire insurance purposes. The last survey of the BFU was made in 1930, when the pro counts having been settled by the first jury, which, however, could not agree on the murder verdict.

Defense attorney Chula, after being defeated in several moves to block the opening of the second trial today, gave some indication, while questioning prospective jurors, that they recognized the wide-spread public disapproval of the jurors at the first trial who failed to vote for McCracken's conviction of murder. Attorney James Monroe, questioning Dudley Morrison, Santa Ana businessman, called on the new panel, asked whether Morrison thought some person who had not attended the first trial could judge McCracken's guilt or innocence as well as the jury which heard the evidence. "For example," said Monroe, "Do you think that J. Edgar Hoover, with his two dollar ticket at Del Mar race track, while on sabbatical leave from Washington, could tell as much about the McCracken case from reading the newspapers, as the jurors who sat in the case?" Monroe's question, referring apparently to the FBI chief's criticism of the first jury, brought an objection from the deputy district attorney Robt. Kneeland, which Judge Gardner upheld.

He made the statement to reporters after the committee studied a staff report warning of probable rising prices, more inflation and three years of federal deficits. "There was general agreement," O'Mahoney said, "that inflation is the most serious threat to the position that this country is taking in the world. The American economy is the principal bulwark of the free world." He said that in the absence of a committee quorum the report was not adopted today. But among members present, he said, there was no criticism of the report "and no objections." Main theme of the report appeared to be arguments in support of: 1. A considerable higher increase in federal taxes than the $7,200,000,000 a year boost voted by the House. Senators have been talking of holding the increase to five or six billions. 2. Stiffer government controls over prices, wages and credit with emphasis upon savings by individuals. O'Mahoney, in advance of the committee discussion, told reporters: "My personal opinion is that the American economy can meet the problems providing the problem is clearly understood by the Congress and the country." He noted that the Senate-House committee had unanimously approved a "pay-as we go basis" for meeting the long-range multi-billion dollar defense and foreign aid program. This was done, the Senator said, "to avoid piling another deficit on top of the national debts now remaining from World Wars I and II."

The statement from North Korean Lt. Gan, Nam Il was broadcast by the red Pyomyang radio ten hours after he had again refused to change his own demands. The red position is so firmly fixed that in Monday's negotiation session Nam Il rejected a United Nations statement as "not satisfactory" as soon as it was delivered. And, a U.N. communique said, Nam Il made the rejection while "speaking from a previously prepared and translated paper." In the Pyongyang broadcast Nam Il called on the U.N. delegation "to change its attitude" and "to take into consideration our demands" for a buffer zone along Red Delegation To Go To Jap Treaty Meeting WASHINGTON (P) — Russia, which has been hitting at the proposed Japanese treaty for weeks, will send a delegation to the treaty conference opening in San Francisco.

Pilots reported they inflicted Red Delegation To Go To Jap Treaty Meeting WASHINGTON (UP) — Russia, which has been hitting at the proposed Japanese treaty for weeks, will send a delegation to the treaty conference opening in San Francisco Sept. 4. In disclosing this today, the State department declined to speculate on the Russian purposes or whether Soviet attendance would likely mean a long-drawn out affair. But it appeared improbable the Russians have any intention of signing a treaty they have criticized so much. They might hope to make propaganda capital out of public quarreling with it at the conference. Only last week, Secretary of State Acheson predicted the Soviets likely would pull all the tricks they could with the aim of disrupting the conference. The State department said Andrei Gromyko, deputy Soviet foreign minister, will head the four-man group. Russia's acceptance came as a surprise. Moscow had been invited along with 49 other countries last July 20. But it had not indicated whether it would accept. The State department's press officer, Michael J. McDermott, said Russia gave no indication whether it is prepared to sign the draft of a Japanese peace treaty. California Democrats Endorse Truman As Western Political Scene Warms Up WASHINGTON (UP) — Political weather vanes swinging toward 1952 have registered a couple of sizeable blows from out of the west. California's Democratic organization Saturday endorsed President Truman for re-election. Senator Thye (R-Minn) predicted today that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will sweep Minneapolis test — next March 18—is the first in which a candidate can be entered without rejected a United Nations statement as "not satisfactory" as soon as it was delivered. And, a U.N. communique said, Nam Il made the rejection while "speaking from a previously prepared and translated paper." In the Pyongyang broadcast Nam Il called on the U.N. delegation "to change its attitude" and "to take into consideration our demands" for a buffer zone along the 38th Parallel. He said if the Kaesong truce negotiations are to "make any progress at all" U.N. delegates must "change their distorted demands they have made up to now." U.N. spokesmen have made it clear that the Allies will not consider a demarcation line on the 38th Parallel. They say the reds must change their stand if negotiations are to progress. No progress was made in today's one hour and 20 minute session—the 13th devoted to the same question. Communist delegates again rejected every United Nations attempt to break the deadlock. Opposing representatives could not even agree on where their armies are. Their next session, scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday (8 p.m. Monday EST) will find them right back where they started. A U.N. spokesman said the red generals refused again Monday to side step the deadlock and talk about something else. They ignored a U.N. invitation to express their views on a demilitarized zone based on the present battle line. And they again insisted on a buffer zone along the 38th Parallel. Air Force Flies 300 Korea Strikes U. S. Eighth Army Headquarters, Korea (UP)—U. S. Fifth Air Force Planes flew nearly 300 ships today in strikes at red troop railways, roads and bridges. Pilots reported they inflicted casualties on communist troops hit 75 supply buildings, for bridges and three small boats Fifty or today's sorties were flown before dawn in continuing around the-clock attack. Heaviest attacks Sunday we directed against rail centers B-29s and jets. U. S. Eighth Army headquarters today reported only small control actions along the mud front. But high Allied office agreed that the reds had buoyed up their forces to the point where they can launch another man offensive if Kaesong armistice talks fall. One of the few ground action was reported South of Kaeson U. N. troops engaged communities there yesterday for the fifth successive day. Taft to Support Air Force Boost; Veto Army, Navy WASHINGTON (UP) — Senate Taft (R-Ohio) said today he would support an increase in the A Force but will oppose any equivalent boost in the size of the Arms and Navy. Taft, who heads the Senate Publican Policy committee, told reporter he is concerned about reports that military leaders may ask Congress for an addition $20,000,000,000 or more appropriations later in the year. “If that comes along, it will mean that we are headed toward a $100,000,000,000 budget with deficits running about $25,000,000,000 a year and I don't think we can stand such deficits,” he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Political weather vanes swinging toward 1952 have registered a couple of sizeable blows from out of the west. California's Democratic organization Saturday endorsed President Truman for re-election. Senator Thye (R-Minn) predicted today that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will sweep Minnesota's "open" presidential primary next spring if his name is entered. And Senator Cain (R-Wash) said Senator Taft (R-Ohio) would be elected president if he got the Republican nomination. Cain, interviewed on a television program, declined to say, however, whether Taft was his personal choice. The California move to back Mr. Truman was made by the executive committee of the Democratic State Central committee which noted in a resolution that state election codes give it the power to become a state campaign committee working for election of the party's presidential candidate. Mr. Truman hasn't said yet whether he will be a candidate. The Minnesota test — next March 18—is the first in which a candidate can be entered without his formal consent. Thye said he will not be surprised if Eisenhower is represented in some way in the bidding for Republican delegates. If Eisenhower isn't publicly available at the time, this possibly might come through a maneuver by Harold E. Stassen, former Minnesota governor and now president of the University of Pennsylvania.

Klister has figured out how he can watch his living room television set while he's upstairs in bed. He does it with mirrors—four of them. The first one's above the davenport and it reflects the program to a larger mirror above the fireplace. From there it goes to a mirror at the top of the stairs and then on to the fourth mirror in Klister's bedroom. "It works swell," says Klister.

Calif.-Generally clear tonight and Tuesday but with night and morning fog and low clouds on the coast and scattered high cloudiness over interior. Slightly warmer in coastal section. Reds Jail Missionaries; Move to Smash Christian Churches in China HONG KONG (P)—Missionaries being ejected from red China said today the communists appear bent on eliminating all Christian churches except their own "reform church." The Catholic church is bearing the brunt of red activities now. Travelers from Peiping said every foreign missionary in the red capital is either in jail or under house arrest. The report said Chinese Christians are under pressure to join the "reform church." The Rev. Harold Rigney of Chicago and 18 other Catholic missionaries were reported jailed July 25. Rigney, only remaining American missionary in China and former rector of Catholic Fujien university, was bound when taken to jail. He was an Air Force chaplain in World War II. Simultaneously with the arrests, the reds took over 12 of Peiping's 17 Catholic parishes. Force Flies to Korea Strikes S. Eighth Army Headquartered in Korea (UP) — U. S. Fifth Air Planes flew nearly 300 sorties in strikes at red troops, ships, roads and bridges. Itals reported they inflicted 65ties on communist troops, 45 supply buildings, four bays and three small boats. Or today’s sorties were flown dawn in continuing around-rock attack.

Long an airpower advocate, believers in irresponsibility, There has been a strong move-ment, launched last week by head football coach Earl (Red) Blakik, to allow the accused cadets to leave the academy without the stigma contained or implied in other forms of dismissal. A restatement off the Army’s position came yesterday with an official announcement that final hearings should be completed early this week on the 90 cadets facing dismissal for cribbing on examinations. “The action we are to take has been approved by the Department of the Army and the president himself,” said Col. James B. Leer, the academy’s public information officer. He added: “There can be no deviation from the statement made last week by the superintendent, Maj. Gen. Frederick Irving.” Irving had said that cadets admitting guilt under oath would be given a chance to resign. Those refusing to resign, he said, would be discharged by administration order. An army spokesman says that in either case, the cadets’ departures would imply “neither honorable nor dishonorable conditions.” Coach Blakik, who lost practically all of his stellar football team in the scandal, appealed that the army lighten the cadets’ punishment by granting honorable discharges. Ranking army officers and at least one attorney for an accused cadet joined in the coach’s plea. Ross Lee Laird Joins Medaris Affiliation of Ross Lee Laird, former secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, as associate broker with the Jess Medaris real estate agency, was formally announced today. Predecessor of the city present chamber secretary, Laird held the post from 1943 to 1946. For the past several years he has been engaged in public relations activities. A resident of Anaheim for more than 10 years, Laird also has served as executive director of the Associated Credit Bureau of California and is an attorney-at-law, being a member of the bar in Illinois and Arizona. He makes his home at 517 N. Lemon. The Rev. Harold Rigney of Chicago and 18 other Catholic missionaries were reported jailed July 25. Rigney, only remaining American missionary in China and former rector of Catholic Fujen university, was bound when taken to jail. He was an Air Force chaplain in World War II. Simultaneously with the arrests, the reds took over 12 of Peiping’s 17 Catholic parishes. Catholics are the only large body of foreign Christians left in China. In the open struggle between the Catholic church and the Peiping government, most high foreign officials of the church have been jailed or placed under house arrest. Archbishop Anthony Riberti of Monoca Italy, papal internuncio, is under house arrest in Nanking. The Chinese reds have been campaigning for an “independent” Catholic church which would have no connection with the Vatican. Propaganda broadcasts from Peiping have mentioned the campaign frequently, but have said nothing about police action. The official red press previously had demanded suppression of the Legion of Mary in Tientsin and elsewhere throughout red China. The arrest of Father Rigney and other priests was described by sources who requested anonymity. They said police went to Fujen university at night, bound his hands and forced him and other priests into a car. Service Station Safe Looted Agren and Larson Chevron Service station, 401 W. Center, reported the theft of $270.52 Sunday. The money was missed late in the afternoon and probably had been gone for awhile un-noticed due to the locked safe which, in no obvious way, had been tampered with. Fall from Swing Injures Youth Lewis H. Bozelle, 10 years old, of 826 S. Helena st., fell out of a swing at La Palma park Sunday, and fell into the path of another swing which grazed the side of his head. He was taken to the Ana-hole. Regimented German Youth Hail Stalin As 'Fuehrer' as Berlin Rally Rolls On BERLIN (UP)—German communist youth bosses publicly halled Generalissimo Stalin today as their "fuehrer." They did this in a message to the Soviet leader following up yesterday's screaming parade of communist youth, a demonstration which far outdid anything the mazis ever whipped up for Hitler. But the West used the communist world youth festival to get in some propaganda blows of its own. Hundreds of thousands of youngsters who slipped by the red guards on the sector border saw things in "imperialist" West Berlin they never dreamed existed there. The leaders of the communist "Free German Youth movement" (FDJ) used the word "Fuehrer" (leader)—once applied exclusively to Hitler—When they sent the Soviet prime minister a pledge promising undying loyalty to him and unfailing opposition to "Western imperialists." Time after time the message, purportedly signed by 4,145,839 young Germans, addressed the Soviet leader as "Dear Joseph Stalin." More than a million hoarse and footsore communist youths were sent home today after they screamed praise of Stalin for hours in yesterday's parade, the climaxing event of the youth festival. At once youngsters resumed their secret invasion of West Berlin with its capitalistic lures. One special attraction was the opening today of an American television exhibit. Against such competition, the communist world youth festival, continuing for another week in East Berlin, looked even drabber. Communist managers were keeping it going with "cultural programs" ranging all the way from concerts to circuses, but many red youngsters preferred to gaze into the well stocked shop windows and taste the forbidden delicousness of free meals being dealt out in West Berlin.
