VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHE Criminologist's Evidence Of Attack Goes Under Fire Evidence presented late yesterday that Patty Hull, 10-year-old Buena Park girl, was subjected to sexual abuse at the time of her death in a motel cabin last May 19, was attacked today by counsel for Henry Ford McCracken, now having his second trial on a murder charge. Jack Cadman, criminologist of the sheriff's office, and the second witness in nearly a week of long drawn-out cross-examinations by the defense, testified yesterday that, after McCracken's first trial, he re-examined an undergarment Patty had worn and found stains that indicated the sexual attack, he claimed. Chemical tests and microscope examinations were used, he said. Today, attorney James Monroe, of the defense had Cadman under cross-examination, attempting to show that such evidence would have been destroyed by bacteriological action by the time the examination was made because the girl's clothing was wet when she was found May 24, in a Live Oak Council Approves JOS Repairs for Faulty Pipeline Repairs to faulty pipe in the Magnolia Trunk Sewer, still under construction, will cost the Joint Outfall Sewer about $19,000, it was revealed to city council last night in a letter from the JOS's engineering committee.

Cadman also gave testimony yesterday tending to discredit McCracken's story at the first trial of Patty's death in an accidental fall from the kitchen table in his motel cabin after she had accompanied him there from the Valuskis theatre.

ZETTE 29, 1951 5c per Copy — 50c per Month NUMBER 215 Ridgway Places Decision to Resume or Breakoff Furthur Talks in Laps of Communists TOKYO (JP)—Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway put it squarely up to the communists today to decide the fate of Korean war truce talks. The United Nations commander curtly refused to re-investigate the alleged Kaesong bombing incident. But he said the Allies would resume armistice negotiations whenever the reds are ready to end their "unjustifiable delay" of the conference. The general view here was that Ridgway's 116-word message to the top communist commanders left them almost no alternatives but to back down or break off the disrupted conferences completely. Ridgway did not even mention the communist demand that he admit a U.N. plane bombed the truce site. He has called the whole incident a fraud. His message to the North Korean premier, Kim Il Sung, and Chinese Gen. Peng Teb-Hual dealt with a sudden break in the rainy spell also brought on a let battle. are for greater armament will discussed at his conference here on month with the British and each foreign ministers. declined to say at a news conference what his own attitude but said he has given considerable thought to the matter and it will be discussed at the sign ministers meeting here on 10. one peace treaty made with Italy in 1847 limits that country armed forces totalling some 2000 men. The Italian government headed Alcide de Gasperi has appeal for revision of the treaty.

Trieste, now a divided territory, ruled by American-British ties on one side and Yugoslavia on the other. But, the U.S.aint, and France are on record being in favor of returning the area to Italy. Italy's armament will be only of several questions for the sign ministers' conference. Officials said Germany, pararly its part in western defense, would be a main topic for any. Screen Star Robert Walker Dies During Doctor's Treatment BOLLYWOOD (P)—Actor Rob Walker, 32, who zoomed to during World War II in "Shy" movie roles, died last night this home while undergoing treatment for an emotional distance. Frederick J. Wacker, a psychrist who said he had been living Walker for 18 months, summoned by the actor last week. The doctor said he talked Walker for two hours, then caller Sidney Silver, another psychrist, to administer a sedative. Hacker said the sedative (anion of sodium amytal) had given Walker many times for mental disturbances and with results. Ridgway's 116-word message to the top communist commanders left them almost no alternatives but to back down or break off the disrupted conferences completely. Ridgway did not even mention the communist demand that he admit a U.N. plane bombed the truce site. He has called the whole incident a fraud. His message to the North Korean premier, Kim Il Sung, and Chinese Gen. Peng Teh-Hual dealt only with their request that he send his liaison officers back to Kaesong to look at new evidence. Rejects Investigation "A reinvestigation after this lapse of time," Ridgway said, "could serve no purpose other than to continue this unjustifiable delay in the armistice negotiations." The U.N. commander observed that during the original investigation a few hours after the asserted bombing the night of Aug. 22, a red liaison officer "specifically refused the requests of my liaison officer to continue the investigation during daylight and to leave all of the alleged evidence in alarms." The U.N. command has said this all along. It was a flat contradiction of a statement in the message from Kim and Peng to which Ridgway was replying. The red generals said "we did not on the night of the 22nd reject your making of the reinvestigation in daylight." Red Version Peiping radio asserted Wednesday U.N. liaison officers agreed to return to Kaesong the next day with Allied newsmen for further examination. The broadcast, attributed to two communist newsmen who were in Kaesong, continued: "The agreed arrangement, we were told, was that (U.N. liaison officer Col. A. J.) Kinney would telephone and say what time he was coming. Until today he has never telephoned." Ridgway's note told the reds "when you are prepared" to resume truce talks "I will direct my representatives to meet with yours, with a view to seeking a reasonable armistice agreement." Woman Injured in Fall Down Stairs U.S.EIGHTH ARMY HEAD-QUARTERS, Korea (P)—Communist troops built up their strength along the Korean front today despite clearing weather which exposed them to Allied air and artillery attack. A sudden break in the rainy spell also brought on a jet battle along the Korean-Manchurian border. Sixty red and Allied jets swirled from 8 to 2½ miles above the earth in a bloodless dogfight. Red ground reinforcements were spotted moving up to the lines in the iron triangle sector of the central front and east of the Kaesong neutral area on the western front. They moved in groups of 100 to 200. Red assault troops lashed out in a series of predawn attacks along the eastern front but pulled back to their own lines by daylight to escape the blasting fire of American artillery. On the extreme eastern flank South Koreans attacked a communist hill position west of Kansung just before noon. The battle raged into mid-afternoon as the reds rushed up reinforcements. Only reported red gain was north of Yanggu, 27 miles to the southwest. The communists overran a South Korean command post, forcing the United Nations unit to pull back after an intense pitched battle. Another battle broke out in the iron triangle, former red troop assembly area. A strong U.N. patrol moved to within sight of Pyonggang, northern apex of the triangle.

Proposed City Oil Ordinance Will Afford Tight Drilling Restrictions Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of articles on the oil drilling ordinance proposed for the city of Anaheim by Gordon Whitnall and Associates, planning consultants. Under terms of the proposed law, drilling could not be commenced unless eight standard conditions had been complied with by the oil company concerned. In addition, the city council would have the power to impose other conditions and limitations it felt were consistent with the purpose and provisions of the ordinance. Standard Condition 1—The oil company would be required to file a written offer giving a 12-month option to any property owner not participating in a community lease within an Oil Production district to share in the oil produced either as a non-producing owner or as a producing owner. Landowner's Share A non-producing owner would be entitled, if he exercised his option, to that proportion of the landowner's royalty which his land bears to the total area in the production district. If the option is not exercised within the one-year period, it would lapse. However, during that period the oil company would be required to impound all royalties to which non-producing owners might become entitled in (Continued on Page 6)
