Purchase of 25,000 Acre Feet More Of Water Approved by Supervisors Purchase of 25,000 acre feet of Colorado River water from the Metropolitan water district was authorized by the county supervisors late yesterday as directors of the Orange County flood control district, which will finance the $375,000 purchase. The step is authorized under a recent state law permitting the flood control district to levy a special tax rate up to 10 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, exclusively for the purchase of water. The 25,000 acre feet purchase will require a tax levy of 6½ cents, it is estimated. The delivery of the water will begin about August 26 on completion of delivery of a similar amount of water purchased by the Orange County Water District. Under present plans, the flow of water down the Santa Ana River from the MWD aqueduct near Arlington will not be interrupted between the two deliveries of water. The flow is expected to continue to the middle of next January, unless winter rains halt the program. In such event, delivery of the water will be resumed next spring. MORE ABOUT ... McCracken Continued from Page 1 City Councilmen Study Planning Commission Jobs Anaheim city council last night inherited some zoning headaches from the city planning commission. Action was considered to remedy a situation at the corner of North and Lemon sts, where a two-story apartment building is being erected and is drawing strong protests from neighboring property owners who complained last night that the apartment building will stand 12 to 14 feet closer to the street than their homes. The council was informed that the foundation of the structure has already been poured and rough plumbing has been installed, posing a difficult problem if the alleged rights of the protestants are to be protected. According to terms of the zoning ordinance, the building is legally located and is in conformance with the ordinance. City Administrator Keith Murdoch was instructed to see the contractor, the Baker Development Co. of Santa Ana, to work out a possible solution.

At McCracken's first trial, the defense used all of it's 20 peremptory challenges, the prosecution 4. Onlysemblance of a tilt between prosecution and defense today came when deputy district attorney Robert Kneeland, in questioning a juror, made the remark that "the judge makos the descisions." Chula quickly objected that "the jury makes the decisions." The court sustained the objection and instructed the prospective juror to disregard Knceland's statement. MORE ABOUT ... Local Firm (Continued from Page 1) at a rate of $1200 a year for special class sessions for slow learners and special cases. Getting on into new business—the Gibb Lumber Co. bid of $154.50 for furnishing 10 pairs of casement sash for the south side of Fremont to be glazed, rabited and beveled was accepted. Ralph Eby, head custodian, requested that due to his increased duties, he be given a raise from his basic salary of $280 to $300. Action was withheld until the proposed wage scale for the school district maintenance workers is completed. Mrs. Joan White, teacher at Lincoln school last year, was given a year's maternal leave of absence last night. Upon recommendation of Paul Cook, Charles Hopper was employed as an upper grade, 5th or 6th teacher for this fall. Mr. Hopper taught at Naetz, Texas, last year. Before closing the meeting, it was decided to have an adjourned meeting Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. City Administrator Keith Murdoch was instructed to see the contractor, the Baker Development Co. of Santa Ana, to work out a possible solution. Tentative map of Tract 1451, located south of Sycamore st. between Anaheim cemetery and Placentia ave., was approved by the council subject to minor changes to bring it in line with the City Engineer's requirements. The planning commission had recommended that changes be made to increase the size of lots neighboring several large homes on Sycamore st., but the recommendation was overridden by the council. Realtors Jess Medaris and Ross Laird appeared in behalf of a client, Dr. R. C. Dean of 8201 Ventura st., Freeway Park, Anaheim, to protest action which denied the veterinarian the right to erect a small animal hospital in the 1200 block of S. Spadra, a C-2 zone location. The location had been okayed by the planning commission originally, but the action was rescinded on the advice of City Attorney Preston Turner, who said the approval was given "in error." Medaris and Laird were assured by Councilman Heying that the problem was on the agenda of the next meeting of the planning commission for classification under the zoning ordinance. A letter was read to the council from Los Angeles Airways, Inc., in regard to the proposed hellport in Anaheim to serve Northern Orange county. The council expressed the desire to work with the airline company and the City of Fullerton to establish the hellport in the most favorable location. The council authorized the preparation of specifications and advertising for bids on street signs for Palm, Los Angeles and Center sts. Some participating speeches at the meeting were sketched by the benefits which would possibly accrue to the city payers from oil revenue co-byd by the city from its pr drilling lease. One indicted out that Long Beach rently has a surplus of $3,000,000, but the tax rate not been reduced at all. He said, the surplus funds playgrounds, civic building so on. He was doubtful that keim taxpayers would fail better. One Anaheim business heard to mutter, as he over the crowd, half of what standing: "Why worry about taxes on oil revenue and build hall in which all the space could sit down."

At Point-of-the-Mountain, Utah, the third in as many months in Utah's new multi-million dollar prison was put down without bloodshed. Two prison officials who had been held as hostages under threat of death most of the day were released. The State Board of Correction ordered all inmates confined to their cells. The uprising ended when Joseph W. Dudler, State Commissioner of Public Safety, conferred with riot leaders and said an investigation would be made of their grievances. Officials said 23 men were in the cell block which the prisoners took over during the riot. The slain jail tower guard in the Chicago break was George Turley, 43. Turley, his head and chest crushed by vicious blows, died in the Bridewell hospital a half hour after the assault. Scanlan said questioning of Jenko disclosed Williams' escape occurred as follows: Williams obtained permission to leave his cell to go to the washroom. When he returned, Williams jammed the lock of his cell with a sheet. Jenko then left his cell to go to the washroom. When he returned, he slipped into Williams' cell. Williams meanwhile made a rag dummy and slid it into his bunk to resemble a sleeping figure. As Jenko slipped into the cell, Williams loosened an airshaft grating in the cell. Taking a sheet rope with him, he climbed up a set of pipes to the roof. Jenko became frightened and refused to accompany Williams. Williams used the rope to lower himself to the ground. He sneaked to the guard tower and apparent-surprised Turley. Again using the rope, made of braided sheets, Williams let himself down the 26-foot wall from the outside of the tower. Guard William Trezise found Turley a few minutes later. He fired a warning shot into the air. Jittery guards followed suit and began firing at shadows in the yard. Sporadic shooting continued for nearly an hour. Armed with machine guns and tear gas, police surrounded the Mexicans taking the hub caps off a Studebaker Champion coupe parked near the City park yesterday about 8:24 p.m. He took the license number of the Mexican's car and reported the matter to the police. Later the police were informed where the hub caps could be located, but the department has not found the culprits. Body of Hearst Flown to Resting Place in Frisco SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - William Randolph Hearst came back today to the city where he began building a newspaper domain that was to become known throughout the world. His body accompanied by four of his five sons, was flown to San Francisco from Beverly Hills, where he died yesterday after a series of strokes. He was 88. Funeral arrangements were awaiting the arrival from New York of his widow, Mrs. Millicent V. Hearst, who is accompanied by a fifth son John. Burial will take place in Cypress Lawn cemetery where the publisher's father, U.S. Senator George Hearst, and his mother, Mrs. Phoebe Apperson Hearst, were buried. Four of Hearst's sons were at his bedside when he died. They are William Randolph Jr., George David and Randolph. Also present were Martin F. Huberth, chairman of the board of the Hearst corporation, and Richard E. Berlin, president of the Hearst corporation. Hearst's 57-page typewritten will already has been filed for probate in Los Angeles. His widow was left $1,500,000 in cash and the income from a $6,000,000 trust fund. Former screen actress Marion Davies, in a codicil dated Aug. 15, 1947, was bequeathed the publisher's Beverly Hills home but a codicil dated Sept. 8, 1948, revoked the bequest without explanation.

Breen, First Assistant State's Attorney, began questioning guards in his office. He said he was attempting to learn whether a conspiracy was involved in the break. Williams had confessed murdering a Negro woman, Mrs. Mary Scott, in a purse snatching attempt. He also was identified in ten rapes and five robberies. He was arrested Dec. 11 after he wounded two detectives who wanted to question him as a rape suspect. Jenko was convicted of stabbing 16 year old Patricia Schwartz to death in an attempted purse snatching in May, 1950. Judge Julious H. Miner, who sentenced Jenko, called the killing one of the most "inhuman and brutal" murders ever committed. There were nine knife wounds in the victim's body. Jenko originally had been sentenced to die in March, but his execution was postponed. BERNICE BEHRENDET, Superintendent of San Matee dog show: "People just buy dogs to fit their personalities.

McCarthy Counters Truman Blasting Of Hate-Mongers WASHINGTON (D)—President Truman's blast at "hate mongers" brought a challenge from Senator McCarthy (R-Wis.) today for a 1952 political showdown on his communist-in-government charges. Mr. Truman dedicated the new Washington headquarters of the American Legion last night with a punch-packed attack on those he said "are trying to create fear and suspicion among us by the use of slander, unproved accusations and just plain lies." Senator Benton (D-Conn.) promptly nominated McCarthy as the object of the attack. Benton has proposed that the Senate formally consider ousting the Wisconsin senator. McCarthy, accepting the designation, flung a challenge back at the president. He said: “If Truman wants to make the fight against communism—which he calls 'McCarthyism'—an issue in the campaign, I will welcome it. It will give the people a chance to choose between Americanism or a combination of Trumanism and communism.” Senator Humphrey (D-Minn.) said the president told him in advance he would make a "rip-shortening" speech. In his speech, Mr. Truman assailed people he said claim to be against communism but are "chipping away at our ba-sic freedoms just as insidiously and far more effectively than the communists have ever been able to do.” Declaring that these people, whom he did not name, have attacked the basic principles of fair play, Mr. Truman said: “They are filling the air with the most irresponsible kinds of accusations against other people. They are trying to get us to believe that our government is ridled with communism and corruption—when the fact is we have the finest and most loyal body of civil servants in the world. PLANS for the visit of the "mobile" blood unit at the Ebbell club friday the 24th during the hours from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. was announced by Mrs. P. H. Nelson, Blood Chairman for Anaheim Red Cross Chapter. This will be the third quarterly visit to our city this year. Mrs. Nelson stated, "Many people think of this as a strictly American Red Cross effort; but this is not true. The Red Cross only a coordinating agency, collecting, processing and shipping the blood for the WAR EFFORT and the CIVILIAN program of saving lives." Anaheim's contribution to all red cross programs and especially blood donations has been outstanding in Orange county," she said. Relentless warfare has created an ever increasing need. So we must make even greater effort to increase our quota. Figures indicate that less than three percent of our people have made donations. These figures do not indicate that even WE have much to brag" about. Call Anaheim 0653- and make an appointment. Anaheim quota is 200 pints. Relatives of civilian patients who have been given blood should be obligated to replace, so that supply will always be available. Ownership of any of the Hearst publications "unless it shall, in their opinion, be necessary or prudent to do so...". His five sons are to get enough preferred stock to realize an annual income of $150,000 to be added to 100 shares of common stock in the Hearst corporation. Dr. Myron Prinzmetal said death was caused by "several cerebral vascular accidents." He said Hearst had enjoyed "robust health until approximately four years ago when he became subject to the illments of advanced age." He passed away at 9:50 a.m. yesterday. Pob Elliott, Boston Braves All-Star third baseman, made the 1941 All-Star squad as an outfielder.
