Freak Accident Injures Trucker Injured in a freak accident yesterday at 11 am, Anthony Gonzales, truck driver for J.

Speaking to the National Press club, the Premier acknowledged that Italy is so poor in raw materials that "its existence for years, when viewed from a statistical viewpoint, has seemed an impossibility." "Italy has, however, a rich resource in the ability and willingness of its industrious people to work," he said. He said Italian factories could be used for defense production "in such a way that costs are less for you and at the same time the standard of living of our people is not lowered." Moreover, he said, there is a "moral aspect" to the problem. "A starving or discontented people can not produce properly; they can not be strong as a defense force or can not resist effectively the lure of the extremists," he explained. "Many of the people in (Continued on Page 8) Gonzales was driving a 1939 flat-bed GMC truck east on Orange-thorpe ave., near Atwood, about six miles east of Anaheim.

Flying debris hit an oncoming car occupied by John D. McMillan, and his wife, Beatrice, both of Pomona. Their car was badly damaged but they were able to drive away, apparently suffering only from shock. Gonzales was pinned in the wreckage, but was pryed loose and taken to the County hospital where he is being treated for shock, and a broken right femur. Water Talks Due At Chamber Meet Orange county's critical water situation will be viewed this evening at the membership dinner of Associated Chambers of Commerce in the Orange Women's clubhouse. A pheasant dinner will share attention with three speakers prominent in water affairs of the county, who will review the water situation and what is being done about it. John A. Murdy, Jr., of Wintersburg, member of the Farm Bureau Water Problems committee, and co-chairman of a special committee which sponsored formation of the Orange County Municipal Water district, will outline the water needs of the county in the face of a seven-year drought and an annual overdraft on the underground supply. Murdy is expected to discuss the approaching election, Oct. 16, when the water district will vote on the question of annexation to the Metropolitan Water district, so that it can obtain rights to some (Continued on Page 8) HEAP OF RUBBLE IS ALL THE OF Norwalk after an accident looks in wonder that a man c by Robertson.)

Andrew J. Ney, senior Allied liaison officer had proposed that both sides discuss conditions which would give antee uninterrupted talks by negotiators. Chinese red Col. Chang C. San flatly rejected the suggestion said the meeting was ended, headed for the door. The reds broke off the high level cease-fire talks Aug. 23 after charging that an Allied bombed the Kaesong neutral zone the night before. The Allies insisted and denied the charges. The red high command had to in vain to resume Tuesday the dress armistice discussions inside of the liaison talks. But the move was saddled by a provision that the first sextet set up machinery to deal with long list of red charges, alr-denied by the Allies. Signoring the red offer, the allies sent Kinney, Marine James C. Murray and South rean Lt. Col. Lee So Young Kaesong by helicopter to bring the subject of conditions. Before even entering the ming, the reds had notified the lies that red liaison officers could discuss only one thing — the time for resuming truce negotiation. After the session broke up, Matthew B. Ridgway's headquarter said: "The senior communist liaison officer, Col. Chang Chun-brought an abrupt halt to the son officer meetings at Kaeson today by stalking angrily out the conference room after re-ring to countenance United Nations command's senior liaison office Col.

Warren Ashleigh, chairman of the Hallowe'en Festival Entertainment committee, met yesterday with Stan Whieldon, general chairman of the festival and parade committee, Ernie Moeller, manager of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and Charlie McCallum, field secretary, to screen acts submitted by Hollywood producers. Gaily bedecked and spangled clowns, tumbling acrobats, trampoline artists, trained horses and dogs, novelty musicians, popular radio and TV stars, the top acts in show business, bar none, are being lined up for the 28th Annual Hallowe'en Festival and Mardi Gras. "Every effort will be made to give the people of Anaheim and the visitors to our Annual Hallowe'en Festival, the very best entertainment possible at any price," Whieldon said.

Turner's attitude was disclosed at the meeting of the Planning commission yesterday afternoon, when an oil drilling ordinance was discussed for the greater proportion of the time in general terms. At the regular meeting next Monday, the planners will attack the subject in more specific terms, but, in the meantime, it is conceivable that the City Council will have an interim ordinance to consider when it meets this afternoon.

Robert At the regular meeting next Monday, the planners will attack the subject in more specific terms, but, in the meantime, it is conceivable that the City Council will have an interim ordinance to consider when it meets this afternoon. Erstwhile support for an election on the oil question seemed to have cooled off considerably, probably due to the fact that Orange county has granted a permit to the Steele Petroleum Co., to drill directly outside the city limits in the northeastern section. The county's action served to nullify any protection that might have been gained from prohibiting drilling within the city by establishing drill sites directly in the path of Anaheim's industrial expansion. Taking that fact into consideration, the City Fathers Extended Phone Service Hearings Hearing of an application by the Orange County Farm Bureau for extended telephone service in Orange county, eliminating toll charges is scheduled Thursday at 11 a.m. before the State Public Utilities commission at the courthouse in Santa Ana. The hearing involves both the Pacific Telephone Co. and the Associated Telephone Co., the latter company having exchanges in Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Westminsier and Cypress.
