British Tip That Russia Plans to Use H-Bomb Soon LONDON (P)—The editor of a British intelligence tip service said today Russia plans to explode a hydrogen bomb next July. British Tip That Russia Plans to Use H-Bomb Soon LONDON (UP)—The editor of a British intelligence tip service said today Russia plans to explode a hydrogen bomb next July. Kenneth de Courcy, editor of the pamphlet-sized "Intelligence Digest," said the Soviet H-Bomb was developed by Prof. Bruno Pontecorvo, who left his British atomic research post last year, and is believed to have gone to Moscow. De Courcy, whose journal announced in August, 1949 — three weeks before President Truman made a similar announcement — that the Russians exploded an atom bomb, said his new information comes from persons behind the iron curtain who, although anti-Soviet, "have access to Russian classified material." The editor made a speech in San Francisco last February predicting a Soviet deadline of October, 1952, for perfection of new weapons of war. At that time he linked Pontecorvo's disappearance to the Soviet timetable for war against the west. Pontecorvo vanished last year while on leave of absence from his job at Harwell. The British government's main atomic research plant. The U.S. Senate-House Atomic Energy committee declared officially last April Pontecorvo was the second deadliest spy in history, (Continued on Page 5) Century Club Now Has 33 Members New members added to the list of Anaheim Century Club over the week-end were Anaheim Citrus Products Co. and Steele Petroleum Co.

The Americans had gained control of the peak late Sunday night. Three doughboys—renmants of a platoon (about 40 men)—had stormed to the top. Reinforcements came up fast and threw back a red charge. But, AP correspondent Stan Carter said, "an overwhelming mass" of reds then struck from behind a curtain of grenade explosions. For the second time in seven days the reds recaptured the strategic height overlooking communist supply lines to the north. Elsewhere on the cast-central sector the reds tapped at Allied lines in a series of stiff probing attacks. All were thrown back.

Carter said, "an overwhelming mass" of reds then struck from behind a curtain of grenade explosions. For the second time in seven days the reds recaptured the strategic height overlooking communist supply lines to the north. Elsewhere on the cast-central sector the reds tapped at Allied lines in a series of stiff probing attacks. All were thrown back. The remainder of the 150-mile battlefront was relatively inactive today, although scattered patrol clashes were reported. A leaden sky with warmer temperatures covered most of the front. Loss of the heartbreak peak was a bitter blow to the weary doughboys. They first captured the height Sept. 17 after a bitter hand to hand battle. They lost it the next day. Monday's setback came just as it seemed the Allies were rounding out their five-week conquest of strategic high ground on the east-central front. At left the United Nations with a hard choice: hurl still heavier attacks against the deadly slope, or end the offensive without one of its greatest prizes. Thirteen men powered the drive that captured the peak for the Americans. They were all that was left of a platoon. Only three dead-tired doughboys made it to the top through the hail of red mortar and small arms fire.

King George VI After Tedious Lu LONDON (AP)—King George VI came safely today through the first crucial night after his lung operation as anxious Britons prayed for their beloved ruler. A Buckingham Palace source said the king "made it safely," but there was no indication of the monarch's condition in his battle against the after-effects of Sunday's surgery. Queen Elizabeth spent the night in a room near her desperately ill husband. The rest of the royal family was also nearby. Queen mother Mary, 84, kept in touch by telephone from her residence at Marlborough House. The Duke of Windsor, whose abdication in 1936 made George king, hurried to London from Paris. The Duke of Windsor left his American-born duchess in Paris. She has never been accepted by the royal family. The duke, looking bronzed and fit, was grave-faced and silent as he stepped from the Paris train at Victoria station. Asked by reporters how long he intended to stay, he lifted his hands in a gesture indicating he did not want to be questioned. Queen Mary was waiting for him at Marlborough House when he arrived there in a royal car to McCarthy Blasts At Benton Again WASHINGTON (AP) — Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) said today administration forces "don't have the guts" to press for a showdown Senate vote on whether he should be ousted from Congress. McCarthy made the statement to a reporter in advance of a closed meeting (9 a.m. EST) of a Senate Rules subcommittee to consider a resolution by Senator Benton (D-Conn) on the ouster issue. The resolution calls for a Senate investigation to determine whether there are grounds to expel McCarthy. If the matter came before the Senate later it would require a two-third majority of those voting to force out the Wisconsin lawmaker. "The administration people," McCarthy declared, "don't have the guts to push this thing to a showdown vote in the Senate." What's more, they have no intention of doing so. This Benton resolution is just an excuse to give some of the pinheads a chance to smear." Benton said in separate interview "there is absolutely not one bit of evidence to support McCarthy's declaration there will be no showdown." Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 78. High for the previous 24 hours was 74 at 3 p.m. yesterday. Low was 64 at 6 a.m. today. Popular Hollywood movie star to officiate as Grand Marshal was announced today by Stan Whieldon, general chairman of the Hallowe'en Festival. Selection of a man who in his personal life and by his portrayal of movie roles exemplifies the principles of good American citizenship, was given serious study by the parade committee in making their choice. Said Ernie Moeller, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, "we have sent an invitation by wire to well, let's keep it a secret until we know for sure the star will be able to fit his participation in our program into his schedule. "Suffice it to say that the presence of this top flight star will be a distinct asset to the program. Sources close to the movie actor say he is anxious to appear on the festival program if at all possible." The star, a favorite of movie fans both young and old is a master showman. He is handsome, colorful and a superb horseman. Can you guess who he might be? Citrus Market The California Fruit Growers Exchange reported today all auction markets California oranges were lower.

Allied liaison officers gave three reasons in a note handed red liaison officers at Kaesong: 1. Kaesong is too close to the main red supply line under attack by Allied warplanes. 2. Red and Allied ground forces are in constant maneuver around the five-mile Kaesong neutral zone. 3. Uncontrolled partisan groups, responsible to neither command, are active in the area and could take action at any time which would again cause a breakup of talks. The reds called off th: talks Aug. 23, charging an Allied plane tried to "murder" the red cease-fire delegation with a bomb the day before.

He addressed a joint session of the Senate and House a few hours after arriving for three days of talks with President Truman, Secretary of State Dean Acheson and other top officials. "Europe once solidly united," the 70-year-old Premier said, "will relieve you of your sacrifices in men and arms, for she will herself contrive the defense of her peace and common freedom." De Gasperi reaffirmed Italy's desire that Trieste be returned to Italy as recommended by the Big Three in 1948. But this does not mean, he said, that Italians "are victims of a narrow nationalism." Rather, he explained, it was evidence of Italy's wish "to consolidate our western coalition in Europe." De Gasperi expressed appreciation for the stand taken by several members of Congress in favor of revision of the Italian peace treaty. "As free men," he said, "we wish to tell you we are grateful to you because, by demanding revision of like, looking bronzed and grave-faced and silent as he is from the Paris train station. by reporters how long had to stay, he lifted his arm in a gesture indicating he wanted to be questioned.

De Gasperi expressed appreciation for the stand taken by several members of Congress in favor of revision of the Italian peace treaty. "As free men," he said, "we wish to tell you we are grateful to you because, by demanding revision of our unfair peace treaty, you have acknowledged that an effective and staunch alliance can not exist without equality of rights and full recognition of the independence, sovereignty and dignity of a nation." The Premier paid tribute to American aid to Europe. "Without your generous contribution," he said, "Europe—at least most certainly the anti-communist front line of continental Europe—would already have collapsed." 500-plus Enter Football Contest More than 500 Anaheimers entered the first Merchants-Gazette football scores poll.
