VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHE Korean Peace Talks Appear to be Ended; General Ridgway Says Reds Must Cut Out Monkey Business and Meet UN Elsewhere TOKYO (P)—Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway told the reds in a stinging note today that if they want to end the shooting in Korea they should agree to start truce talks anew somewhere else. The United Nations commander also brusquely told the communists to stop their "constant deceit and treachery" in manufacturing incidents for "false and malevolent" charges against the Allies. Almost simultaneously with delivery of Ridgway's sharp note, Chinese communists launched a heavy, tank-supported attack on the western front. A front-line officer said it could be "a prelude to a major offensive." The red assault on the long inactive front was only 25 miles from Kaesong, site of the disrupted armistice negotiations. A major red offensive could blast the dimming hope of reviving truce talks. The reds might Patty Hull Was Not Killed by a Fatal Doctor States, Blasting Defense Stories Death of Patty Jean Hull, 10-year-old alleged murder victim of Henry McCracken, was not caused either by a fall or by cuts from a broken jelly glass in his motel cablin, as McCracken claims. That flat statement was made today at McCracken's murder trial by Dr. Raymond I. Brandt, county autopsy surgeon. Dr. Brandt conducted the autopsy over Patty's body when it was found in a Live Oak canyon grave last May 24, five days after her death. Testifying as one of the prosecutors' final witnesses, Dr. Brandt said that Patty bled to death from 15 deep scalp wounds and three major fractures that partially crushed her skull and penetrated Marine Toll High In Orange County Three Marines were dead too—not in Korea—but in Oran county traffic accidents which curred at two points, and police indicated that speeding was the cause of both fatal crashes.

Basch, 22, San Diego Marine, was driver of an auto- The red assault on the long inactive front was only 25 miles from Kaesong, site of the disrupted armistice negotiations. A major red offensive could blast the dimming hope of reviving truce talks. The reds might ignore Ridgway's note and again try to drive U.N. forces out of Korea. Ridgway left it completely up to the communists whether negotiations are resumed. But the U.N. commander made it clear the talks won't be at Kaesong. Ridgway's information office said Kaesong is not a suitable site for armistice discussions because "it is within communist lines." A release by the information office said the situation has reached a point "where the question of the neutrality of the Kaesong zone has overshadowed the original purpose of the meetings." The reds broke off the talks August 23 after charging the U.N. violated the neutrality zone. Ridgway reiterated Thursday that that charge, and others that followed it, were "without the slightest basis in fact." His proposal to set a new locale for negotiations actually changes the situation of the stalled talks only slightly. His proposal contains a big "if." He said if the reds are ready to start negotiating a cease-fire again, their liaison officers could talk about a new site. The communists have said repeatedly they would resume negotiations only when Ridgway admitted responsibility for their long list of charges, which Ridgway called "baseless and intentionally false." If communist commanders — North Korean Premier Kim Il Sung and Chinese Gen. Peng Teh-Hual—agreed to go ahead with negotiations now they would in effect be admitting their charges were false. Ridgway's note indicated he doubted the communists really want peace. He told the top red commander by Dr. Raymond L. Brandt, county autopsy surgeon. Dr. Brandt conducted the autopsy over Patty's body when it was found in a Live Oak canyon grave last May 24, five days after her death. Testifying as one of the prosecution's final witnesses, Dr. Brandt said that Patty bled to death from 15 deep scalp wounds and three major fractures that partially crushed her skull and penetrated her brain. They were caused, he said, by a "weighted, sharp object" used with such force that it not only laid her scalp open to the skull but 'made imprints on the skull bone itself. No fall or cuts from glass could cause such skull imprints nor the type of laceration found, the doctor said. A fall causes a bursting, spider-like type of cut, he said. Observers considered that, if Dr. Brandt's testimony is accepted by the jury, it would blast McCracken's story that instead of being murdered during commission of a sex attack, as the state charges, Patty was killed by an accidental fall from the kitchen table in his cabin after she had stepped upon the jelly glass. Evidence of the sex attack upon the child, was presented by Jack Cadman, sheriff's criminologist yesterday, when he testified to finding positive evidence on Patty's undergarments and exhibited microscope photographs of the evidence. It was bolstered today when Philip H. Santmeyer, consulting chemist, who operates the Tustin Laboratories, corroborated Cadman's testimony. Santmeyer, who said he had been trained at Johns-Hopkins, Magill and Stanford universities, had examined microscopic slides made by Cadman and said that there is no doubt in his mind that Cadman had found positive evidence of a sex attack. Cross examination of Dr. Brandt by the defense was expected to occupy the remainder of today's session. Court will be recessed late this afternoon until next Tuesday, Monday being a legal holiday. Temperatures —not in Korea—but in Oran county traffic accidents which curred at two points, and police indicated that speeding was the cause of both fatal crashes. Fourth fatality was a civilian at a fifth, also a civilian, is in critical condition, as the result of the collision that killed two of the Marines in San Clemente. Mark M. Basch, 22, San Diego Marine, was driver of an automobile belonging to Oscar L. Marshall of Huntington Beach, who crashed head-on into a truck "carry-all" loaded with five new automobiles at the north edge San Clemente at 7:40 p.m. Both Basch and Markham were killed outright. John T. Kelly, S.Diego Marine, was so badly injured that he died this morning at Camp Pendleton hospital, Ocean side. Charles Heald, 26, of Burbank driver of the truck, was critically injured and was taken to Oceanside hospital. His truck some of the five new cars it carried were badly battered in the crash. Deputy Coroner Roger Burhm was in San Clemente today investigating the accident, which is said to have occurred on a curved north of Magdalena st., near San Clemente golf course. Police said it appeared that the car driven by Basch had "cut" the curved and was on the left-hand side of the highway at the time of the crash. Fourth fatality last night was that of David Donald McCann, (Continued on Page 5) Local Man Hurt In Auto Mishap Garland E.

Peng Teh-Hual—agreed to go ahead with negotiations now they would in effect be admitting their charges were false. Ridgway's note indicated he doubted the communists really want peace. He told the top red commanders: "That you should permit the forces of your side to ingluge in their constant deceit and invective is incomprehensible, unless you have the ulterior motive of completely breaking off negotiations with the further scurrilous accusation that the blame therefore rests upon the United Nations command rather than upon you." U.N. command truce negotiators in Tokyo showed no indication they expected discussions to be resumed soon. A source close to Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief Allied delegate, said he had "no immediate plans" to return to his Korean headquarters southeast of Kaesong.

Pioneers New Seepage Control A method unique in California is being utilized to prevent seepage in Yorba Lake dam, a mile east and a half-mile north of Atwood, by the Anaheim Union Water Co. Liquid asphalt at 425 degrees Fahrenheit is being sprayed on the face of the dam to effect a seal not provided by the engineers who built the dam in 1907 and 1908. Recently it was noticed that water was seeping through the dam which was constructed with a clay-puddle core overlayed with dirt. Leo Sheridan, manager of the A.U.W. Co., pointed out the fact that the "sheeps-foot" tampers currently in use were unknown in the early years of this century, but that the same idea was used in construction of the dam. "Included in the contract under which the dam was built was a requirement that the dirt overlaying the clay core was to be tamped down by driving herds of sheep over it, and that is the way it was done," he explained. Asphalt sealing of irrigation ditches and dams has been done for some time in Colorado and Texas by the U.S. Reclamation Bureau, according to Sheridan, but has never been tried in California until the Yorba dam job was undertaken. Sheridan believes he Red Cross Unit Hears Reports At the board meeting of Anaheim Chapter, American Red Cross yesterday, "Tex" Middleton, water safety chairman, reported out the very successful swimming program conducted by the chapter.

The attendance was the largest on record, but many of those attending did not continue long enough to earn certificates. Home Service reported 48 casts open during August of which 11 were new and three re-opened. Service was given to three veterans, 23 active service personnel, and one civilian, or their families. There were 50 office callers and eight home calls made. Financial assistance was given to two servicemen and one veteran. Nineteen telegrams were received and 22 sent.

They all either stated or Aircraft Plant At Long Beach Still on Strike LONG BEACH (UP) — Douglas Aircraft company’s Long Beach plant was still strikebound today. The CIO United Auto Workers membership of 10,000 voted at a mass meeting yesterday to reaffirm the rejection by their negotiators of company offers in a long-standing dispute over wages and working conditions. The strike became effective at 12:01 a.m. (PST) Wednesday, the union reporting a few hours before then that negotiations had been broken off. The strikers voted for peaceful picketing, and aside from a few minor disturbances yesterday, everything was quiet. Especially quiet was the big Douglas plant that has been humming day and night as workers turned out the C-124 Globemaster transport planes for the Air Force. The plant has a backlog of orders extending to 1953 and valued at about $500,000,000. The union is asking for wage boosts which the company says would mean an average boost of 26 cents an hour for the 12,860 workers. The company claims the cost of such an increase alone would be $8,500,000 a year. The company's offer include increases ranging from 16 cents to 26 cents. The average pay of workers at more with active service men, verifying need for furloughs in cases of illness, death of other country would sign.

Egypt criticized territorial prisons. The wave of speechma showed that Gromyko, who suffered defeat after defeat Wednesday and struck back with a slash attack on the treaty in late afternoon, had made little impact the conference—except in the case of conversation and speculation.

Douglas MacArthur, the old soldier, came to Cleveland today for a 24-hour visit and a speech tonight in public hall to an audience expected to number 10,000. His chartered airliner came out of the rain-clouded sky at Municipal airport for a landing at 11:50 a.m. The take-off in New York this morning was delayed 56 minutes by a defective engine governor. While a recording of "Old Soldiers Never Die" played over a public address system, the general and his wife, Jean, stepped from the plane, waved to a crowd of several thousand, and posed for pictures. The MacArthurs were greeted officially by Major Thomas A. Burke and Gov. Frank Lausche in a brief ceremony on a platform at the field. This is the general's first visit to Ohio. General MacArthur takes the public platform tonight at a time SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—American delegates were warned today that Russia may try some new move here to offset the sharp defeat she suffered in yesterday's attempt to disrupt the Japanese Peace Conference. The Soviet demand at yesterday's first working session for a wholesale rewriting of the treaty was dismissed by western diplomats as being "out of order" and doomed to failure. However, a Russian effort to regain lost prestige was anticipated. What form it might take was uncertain. There was a possibility that Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet deputy foreign minister, might try again to get his proposed amendments officially before the conference. Another theory was that the Russians might act entirely outside the conference. There was an increasing tendency among American diplomats to link news of stronger communist activity in Korea with the San Francisco developments.

Hancock Oil co. owns four of the seven new wells, all of which are flowing. The Hill has been producing for more than 30 years and geologists believed there were no new sands to tap.
