The Yearbook? Well, not exactly. But the Gazette is publishing some little items about young Anaheimers who are away at college. Please see Page 6. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIL Migs Damaged; 'Copters Ferry Troops to Action U.S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea (P)—American warplanes today damaged three Russian-made MIG-15 jets into series of dogfights over northwest Korea. Altogether, 49 Allied and 78 red planes were engaged. The U.S. Fifth Air Force said there were no Allied losses. Red losses for two days of dogfights totaled one MIG destroyed and eight damaged. For the first time in history, Glant helicopters ferried battle-ready troops into action. The helicopters delivered a reinforced company of Marines and their equipment to a rugged mountain summit in only four hours. By foot the same job would have taken two days. Other United Nations troops faced withering red mortar fire as they pushed off again in the bloody "battle of the hills" on the east-central front. Clearing weather gave them copters delivered a reinforced company of Marines and their equipment to a rugged mountain summit in only four hours. By foot the same job would have taken two days. Other United Nations troops faced withering red mortar fire as they pushed off again in the bloody "battle of the hills" on the east-central front. Clearing weather gave them badly needed air support. Communist troops on commanding high ground rained artillery and mortar fire at the attacking Allied infantrymen. Elsewhere on the east central front, Eighth Army soldiers continued local attacks against reeds dug-in on high ground. U.N. advances also were reported four swirling jet battles between Allied and communist aircraft. In the biggest, 32 F-86 Sabre jets took on 50 MIGC and damaged two of them. The battle ranged down to tree-top level from a start at 43,000 feet. Capt. Richard H. Johns of Napa, Calif., and Lt. John W. Honaker of Arlington, Va., were credited with the two enemy planes damaged. The Sabre jets were flying cover for Fifth Air Force fighter-bombers attacking red rail lines. A third MIG was damaged when two F-80 Shooting Stars jumped eight MIGs east of Sunan. Lt. Rafael A. Dubull of 3705 W. Court, Miami, Fla., said his tracers hit one MIG beneath the wing and canopy in the six-minute battle. NATO Votes in Greece, Turkey OTTAWA (AP)—The North Atlantic Council voted unanimously today for full membership of Greece and Turkey in the Atlantic Defense Alliance. An information officer reporting this said the action took the form of a statement of intention which still has to be approved by parliaments of the 12 member nations before the two Mediterranean countries actually come in. The decision was made in the last minutes of the council's five-day meeting. Dedication Services Set for Newly-Completed Local YI Culminating long months of planning, the new $55,000 YMCA building, material symbol of Anaheim residents' interest in youth, will be dedicated at afternoon services at the site, 121 S. Citron st., Sept. 30, at 4 p.m., General Secretary Thomas Thomason announced today. With funds obtained by popular subscription, board members and townsfolk are seeing the realization of more than half of their dream in the completion of the 5000 square foot structure with kitchen, chapel, recreation room, lobby, two additional clubrooms and office space. Still to be constructed are an all-purpose room and gymnasium for which about 60 per cent of the necessary amount was raised in the spring fund drive. It is hoped, Thomason said today, the remainder will have been contributed so that construction of the remaining portion this fall will be made possible. Details of the dedication service are not complete. Thomason said, but young people of the community will play an important part in the program. The community at large is expected and invited to participate, the secretary declared, since "it's their building which is being dedicated." A litany service in which the audience may take part is being arranged, and speeches are on. Annual Whiskerino Contest is on Shades of Buffalo Bill! Lynn Brown, president of the 20-30 club came up with an announcement today that should make Civil War General Burnside turn over in his grave. "Now is the time for all good men of Anaheim to come to the aid of the mustache cup," said Brown Greece and Turkey in the Atlantic Defense Alliance.

Season Just Starting for Locals And Fans Alike Tomorrow at 6 p.m. By STAN JONES While several other Orange county high schools were scrimmaging early this week, the local football squad confined itself to night practice at La Palma park—accustoming itself to the light and field. The locals were put through a terrifically hard and fast pace early this week, but today were pht through mild drills. They have all been a little on edge lately—the players trying to make the first two strings as well as wanting to beat Redlands tomorrow night. The coaches, too, haven't exactly been sitting back resting on their haunches, but instead have been doing "double duty" day and night—acting like caged tigers ready to leap out at the nearest person to walk by. But all this cautiousness, fretting and nervousness will all be gone about 8:30 p.m. tomorrow after the players have pushed and been pushed around a little. Feeling A Little Low Some of the players were feeling a little low about not being able to line up a foe for a Tuesday afternoon scrimmage this past week, but it may have been all for the better. The players will probably be a little awkward, slow and nervous at first, but by the start of the second quarter they should be in an attitude of the utmost confidence in themselves and coaches. It has probably been several months since most of us have seen a football game and we, naturally, are looking forward with great gusto to a very interesting, colorful and exciting season following the Anaheim High School football varsity, Bee, and Cee squads. We all realize that it's the players who make the tackles, block, pass, catch, run, score touch-(Continued on Page 2) Annual Whiskerino Contest is on Shades of Buffalo Bill!

Anaheim residents (male) are urged to forswear the benefits of blue blades, thin blades, straight blades...yea even the buzzing comforts of the electric blade, in this contest to determine which Anaheim males can grow the finest examples of hirsute adornment.

NAHEIM GAZETTE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1951 Communists Ask Resumption of Cease-fire Talks TOKYO UP — The communist high command reversed itself today and suggested that Korean cease-fire talks be resumed immediately in Kaesong. The reds broke off the talks 28 days ago. They charged then that an Allied plane bombed and strafed the neutral Kaesong area Aug. 22 in an attempt to murder communist tracers delegates. The Allied command called the charge fraudulent and faked. Herefore the reds have demanded that the Allies admit responsibility for a string of alleged neutral zone violations before the truce talks could be resumed. They proposed today only that a "suitable organization" be set up to guarantee the neutrality of Kaesong, Korea. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway made no immediate comment.

They proposed today only that a "suitable organization" be set up to guarantee the neutrality of Kaesong, Korea. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway made no immediate comment. But a release from the supreme commander's headquarters said "there is reason for hope that the latest communist reversal in policy and agreement to renew the peace talks may bring some sort of a cease-fire in Korea." It cautioned, however, that "it is a hope that must be tempered by the realization that a renewal of the talks does not mean neces-sarily that previous difficulties will suddenly iron themselves out." Chinese Gen. Peng Teh-Hual and North Korean Premier Kim Il Sung proposed: 1. That Liaison officers of both sides meet to fix the time for re-opening the meetings. 2. That at the first session after the conferences resume, delegates discuss a plan "to establish a suitable organization" for guaranteeing the neutrality of Kaesong and settling differences over previously charged violations. The United Nations command has admitted the validity of only two alleged violations. Ridgway's headquarters said an Allied plane strafed Kaesong by mistake Sept. 10 and four unarmed South Korean soldiers mistakenly approached the neutral zone Tuesday afternoon. The red leaders said they were willing to consider reopening the talks because of the "responsible attitude" the Allies have taken regarding the admitted violations. American NEW YORK UP—Joe Collins slammed a three-run homer in the eighth inning to give the New York Yankees a vital 5 to 4 victory over the Chicago White Sox today. It increased the Yanks lead to a half game over the idle Cleveland Indians in the seething American league pennant race.

That hope was so slender as to be almost invisible, in the opinion of court attaches who have watched through ten weeks of McCracken's two murder trials. The insanity issue, McCracken's sole remaining defense in the brutal sex murder of 10-year-old Patricia Jean Hull at Buena Park last May 19, rested chiefly on the findings of three psychiatrists ap pointed by the court. All three have reported that, in their opinions, McCracken is legally sane. If these opinions stand up before a jury that will try the insanity case starting Oct. 8, McCracken then must face the peralty pronounced upon him by the jury which called him guilty of first degree murder and made n Two More Added To Century List Anaheim Century club, composed of $100 contributors to the current Community Chest campaign grew by two members during the past 24 hours.

There is, of course, the protective legal routine thrown about all persons sentenced to the death penalty. The case will go to the State Supreme court under automatic appeal. A copy of the trial record and the judgment goes to Governor Earl Warren, who has the power to reprieve, commutation of sentence or pardon. No one expects the governor to interfere. Court observers said that there is always the possibility of a Supreme court action commuting the sentence or even granting a new trial. But they consider this prospect slight. Judge Robert Gardner, they said, conducted the trial ably and with care to keep errors out of the record. He had to be continually on guard against efforts to get such errors into the record, but observers think he succeeded. "He leaned over backward," they said, "to give the defense all possible latitude to avoid later attacks on the record during the appeal." The three psychiatrists who examined McCracken before the first trial and re-examined him after that trial in the light of his "talking dog" story and other dream tales were Dr. Hyman Tucker, head of Norwalk State hospital; Dr. M. W. Conway and Dr. W. S. Musfelt, Santa Ana psychiatrists. Their first conclusions that McCracken is legally sanne were not changed by the talking dog story. As expressed by Dr. Conway, that was "pure fabrication." The defense lawyers said they have no funds for hiring their own experts so it is probable that the (Continued on Page 5) Red Feather Holds Instruction Session Tomorrow Red Feather Holds Instruction Session Tomorrow Anaheim Community Chest volunteers for the residential area will attend short periods of instruction tomorrow at Chest headquarters, 139 N.
