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 ...

Action was considered to remedy a situation at the corner of North and Lemon sits, 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. Only semblance 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 makes the descisions." Chula quickly objected that "the jury makes the decisions." The court sustained the objection and instructed the prospective juror to disregard Kneeland's statement. MORE ABOUT...

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, raibited 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 Nactz, 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.

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 heliport 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 heliport in the most favorable location.

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 outside of the tower.

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 Julius 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 BEHRENDT, Superintendent of San Mateo dog show: "People just buy dogs to fit their personalities.

McCarthy Counters Truman Blasting Of Hate-Mongers WASHINGTON (UP)—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 professed that the Senate formally consider dusting the Wisconsin senator. McCarthy, accepting the designation, flung a challenge back at the president. He said: "It 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 battle 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: "The 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." STARTS TODAY!
