(AP) — The spiraling black finger of a tornado dotted a line of death and ruin across two rural areas in central Wisconsin yesterday, taking seven lives. Due eastward across Lake Michigan from the state, a tornado struck the village of Biteley, Mich., at night and left one woman dead. The lower part of Wisconsin's Waupaca county, was ripped by a "roaring and terrifying" twister which killed six persons and injured at least three. Four of the victims, members of one family, were carried into a swamp a quarter of a mile from where the tornado engulfed them. Then some 45 minutes later—4:30 p.m. (CST) and about 50 miles to the south—a funnel-shaped cloud hopped across a 15 mile path in Columbia county, killing a woman and injuring her three children by picking up their farm home and smashing it down 250 yards away. Seven others were reCounty-Wide Phone Service Is Considered Orange county agricultural civic leaders told the state Public Utilities commission today extended telephone service, enclining toll charges, in Orion county, is a public convenience and necessity in view of population increase. Hearing of the Farm Bureau application for extended service opened at 11 a.m. before Exiner Manley Edwards, of the state commission, with Commission Justus F. Craemer, former Origan publisher, attending. After crowds had jammed county supervisors chamber overflowed into the corridors the morning session, the hear was adjourned this afternoon the more spacious quarters of superior Court Department 4. Examiner Edwards took day's testimony under advisement by action by the commission. Under questioning by J. J. Del, head of the State Farm Bureau Public Utilities department, his assistant, five witnesses tified at the morning session. Both the Pacific Telephone and the Associated Telephone which have exchanges in Winston, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, are included in Farm Bureau's application for extended service. Counsel for the Pacific T phone Co., which is reported variable to extended service not cross examine the Farm reau witnesses. Attorney Albert M. Hart Unappreciative Wife Dislikes Caveman Type Cave-man Bryan Huson, 828 S. Philadelphia, Anaheim, was released from the city jail last night on $200 bail after being taken in custody by officers on complaint signed by ex-wife Mary Huson, cab driver for the Red and Yellow Cab Co., located at the Valencia Hotel. Mrs. Huson was badly beaten about the face and body by her ex-husband early last Monday morning. Since then he has been threatening her again, this time through friends who relay the messages from him to her. She became frightened and signed a complaint last evening. Officers picked him up and booked him on a battery charge. He will appear for arraignment Friday, Oct. 5 at 9 a.m. Citrus Market The California Fruit Growers Exchange reported today all auction markets California oranges were lower. SUNKIST (First Grade)— 126s 5.51; 150s 5.50; 176s 5.57; 200s 5.68; 220s 5.74; 252s 5.97; 288s 6.22; CHOICE (Second Grade)— 126s 4.33; 150s 4.66; 176s 4.96; 200s 5.13; 220s 5.23; 252s 5.31; 288s 5.47. Then some 45 minutes later—4:30 p.m. (CST) and about 50 miles to the south—a funnel-shaped cloud hopped across a 15 mile path in Columbia county, killing a woman and injuring her three children by picking up their farm home and smashing it down 250 yards away. Seven others were reported injured. A deputy sheriff said buildings were crushed "like matchboxes." Splintered barns, sheds, silos and homes lined the paths of the tornadoes in Wisconsin—but there could be no accurate estimate of the heavy loss. Nor was there a count of the numerous livestock killed. The whirling cloud columns, which capped a day of general rain and high winds in the state, fortunately skirted small towns in the regions. The Columbia county tornado was preceded by rain but blinding rain accompanied the Waupaca county twister and, as a result, many witnesses said they could not see the funnel-shaped cloud. What they did see was a "terrifying black cloud spewing debris ahead of it and roaring like a freight train." Both tornadoes swept out of the southwest and passed in a northeasterly direction. In Waupaca county the tornado hopped and skipped across a line 20 miles long and about one quarter of a mile wide. To the south the spiraling cloud finger touched at intervals on a 15-mile path 100 yards wide on the average. Both the Pacific Telephone and the Associated Telephone which have exchanges in Washington, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, are included in Farm Bureau's application for tended service. Counsel for the Pacific Telephone Co., which is reported vorable to extended service not cross examine the Farm reau witnesses. Attorney Albert M. Hart, Santa Monica, representing the associated Telephone Co., as each witness whether he or would be willing to pay high monthly telephone rates if extended service were granted. He indicated the month charge might be as much as or $6 per month higher. Didn't make any distinction between residential or business places in his estimate. Deuel opened the Farm reau's case by reading a statement covering the background of previous proceedings dealing with tended service and telephone increase applications. Executive Secretary C. J. Ma of the Orange County Farm reau, described the county growth, including its popular increase of 63.7 per cent between 1940 and 1950, with a gain 85.8 per cent in the rural area. He reported that since Sept. (Continued on Page 5) Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 78. High for the previous hours was 78 at 4 p.m. yesterday.

NAHEIM EST. 1270 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1951 King George Entering Vital Danger Period in Fight for Recovery LONDON (P) — King George entered a vital new danger period today in his fight to recover from a lung operation. Reports from inside Buckingham palace, which termed the next 72 hours "vital," indicated two doctors are keeping a constant watch. Palace sources also said Queen Elizabeth has indicated she wants to be called at any hour if the king asks for her. Some London medical specialists speculated today that—the fifth day since the king went under the knife—is the beginning of the second danger period since the operation. He passed the first danger phase Monday night. These specialists said the new critical period—expected in some quarters to last through Monday—holds these threats for the 55-year-old monarch: 1. Fatigue: One doctor explained that "when the patient has sufficiently recovered to take food his system starts working again and produces fatigue."

Hearing of the Farm Bureau's location for extended service dated at 11 a.m. before Exam-Manley Edwards, of the state Commission, with Commissioner F. Craemer, former Orange Sher, attending. Other crowds had jammed the busy supervisors chamber and allowed into the corridors at morning session, the hearing adjourned this afternoon to more spacious quarters of Suir Court Department 4. Saminer Edwards took testimony under advisement after action by the commission. Under questioning by J. J. Deuead of the State Farm Bureau and Utilities department, and assistant, five witnesses testified at the morning session. With the Pacific Telephone Co., the Associated Telephone Co., which have exchanges in Westchester, Huntington Beach, and Naica Beach, are included in the Bureau's application for extended service. Unsel for the Pacific Telephone Co., which is reported facile to extended service did cross examine the Farm Bu-witnesses. Chairman George (D-Ga.) of the Finance committee agreed to accept the amendment with the 1953 effective date. But he indicated plainly he thought it had little relevance to the revenue-boosting bill. He passed the first danger phase Monday night. These specialists said the new critical period—expected in some quarters to last through Monday—holds these threats for the 55-year-old monarch: 1. Fatigue. One doctor explained that "when the patient has sufficiently recovered to take food his system starts working again and produces fatigue." 2. Internal bleeding. Medical men believe danger from bleeding is greatest on the fifth day after lung "resection." The king's doctors used the term "resection" in describing the operation. It means cutting out all or part of a lung. The doctors have not disclosed the disease that made the operation necessary. Buckingham palace warned the British people last night that the king's condition will cause "some anxiety for the next week or 10 days." Fourteen minutes after the palace stalement, Princess Eliza- Truman Slated For Less Tax Free Expenses WASHINGTON (UP) — Senator Williams (R-Del.) predicted the Senate will approve today his move to wipe out tax-free expense allowances of the president, vice president and members of Congress. The Senate agreed to vote first on this amendment when it meets ((11 a.m. EST) for the eighth day of debate on a bill to boost taxes an estimated $5,506,000,000 a year. Williams told a reporter he won enough votes to put over his amendment when he agreed not to make it effective until Jan. 3, 1953, the meeting date of the next Congress. Originally he had proposed that the allowances be eliminated Nov. 1 this year. Chairman George (D-Ga.) of the Finance committee agreed to accept the amendment with the 1953 effective date. But he indicated plainly he thought it had little relevance to the revenue-boosting bill. New Draft Laws Affect Young Married Couples WASHINGTON (UP) — President Truman yesterday signed new draft regulations which make childless married men eligible for military service. The presidential action also makes other changes in Selective Service rules in keeping with the draft law passed by Congress last June. They range from including some aliens in the draft to lowering the volunteer age limit. Of major effect, however, is the permission to draft childless married men, a change Selective Service officials believe will make 500,000 men formerly deferred. SACRAMENTO (UP) — Col. Kenneth H. Leitch, state selective service director, said today possibly 40,000 California men would be subject to draft reclassification under the new federal order on childless married men. The state draft chief said about two-thirds of the 60,000 3-A (men with dependents) classification are men who only have their wives as dependents. The new federal order makes these men subject to reclassification to 1-A status. Leitch said questionnaires have been mailed out to all 3-A registrants to determine if their status has changed. It will be above 60 days before the reclassifications will begin, Leitch said. eligible for duty. Brig. Gen. Louis Renfrow, acting director of Selective Service, said about 200,000 of this total may be drafted. The new rules are for the guidance of local draft boards. Selective Service has said a few of them already have been reclassifying childless married men. To prevent last-minute claims for deferment "based only on the week end without serious complications he will be in position for a fast recovery." with the Pacific Telephone Co., which have exchanges in Westchester, Huntington Beach, and Ana Beach, are included in the Bureau's application for extended service. Counsel for the Pacific Telephone Co., which is reported facile to extended service did cross examine the Farm Bu-witnesses. Attorney Albert M. Hart, San-Monica, representing the Assistant Telephone Co., asked witness whether he or she had been willing to pay higher daily telephone rates if extend-service were granted. Indicated the monthly rate might be as much as $5.66 per month higher. He must make any distinction between residential or business lines in his estimate. Uuel opened the Farm Business case by reading a statement regarding the background of pre-proceedings dealing with extend-service and telephone rate case applications. Executive Secretary C. J. Marks of Orange County Farm Bureau described the county's path, including its population base, with 63.7 per cent between 1950 and 1954, with a gain of per cent in the rural areas. The report that since Sept. 1. (Continued on Page 5) Temperatures Temperature reading in down-a Anaheim at 2 p.m. today 78.

The vice president and speaker of the house have a $10,000 allowance plus their $30,000 salaries. eligible for duty. Brig. Gen. Louis Renfrow, acting director of Selective Service, said about 200,-000 of this total may be drafted. The new rules are for the guidance of local draft boards. Selective Service has said a few of them already have been reclassifying childless married men. To prevent last-minute claims for deferment "based only on the registrant's opinion that his wife recently has become pregnant," the new law clearly defines "child." Under the amended law, "child" means an infant from date of conception. A man may obtain deferment only if his doctor says a child has been conceived before the draftee is ordered to report for induction. Selective Service also announced dates for two new qualification tests for college students who want to be deferred from the draft. Students who score 70 or better in such tests may be considered for deferment. First tests will be given Dec. 13, primarily for those students whose academic year ends next January. The second will be given April 24. Applications for the first test must be postmarked not later than Nov. 5, and for the second not later than March 10. Application forms can be obtained from all local draft boards within a week. The tests themselves will be given at more than 1,000 centers over the country by the educational testing service, Princeton, N.J., and scores will be mailed direct to local draft boards. Ridgway today proposed that rean cease-fire talks be made from Kaesong six miles south into no-man's land. The proposed location is near Songhyon village. Ridgway said the new should be kept free of any troops. He also suggested delegates resume discussion of the location of a military base across the Korean peninsula. This was the subject that tilted the truce talks for weeks by the reds broke them off Autumn. The Allied commander took top red commanders that could be resumed immediately they agreed. There was no quick reply from red officials. A comm correspondent predicted would reject the proposals. Reds Want To Talk in Kaesong The reds want the talks ridden in Kaesong, with the first of business a full-scale dissection of alleged Allied violation in the Kaesong neutral zone. The United Nations commands no part of Kaesong, located behind the communist lines in U.N. command has told reds there is no need to re-discussion of their charges. Songhyon is a war-scarred lage six miles southeast of song's soutskirts. It is one south of the red outpost at munjam: Ridgway described "approximately midway between the battle lines." Free of Armed Troops The supreme commander's sage said, "it would, of course agreed by both sides that meeting place would be kept of armed troops and that..." Korean Reds Pounding and Pushing Allies Off Heartbreak Ridge For Large Losses lled warplanes damaged two Russian-type MIG fighters over North Korea today in the third night day of swirling air battles. That brought the bag of MIGs the three days to 20—five shot down, two probably destroyed and damaged... at a cost of only Allied jet reported damaged. On the ground, communist and armed Infantry were locked in the day of close combat for the strategic peaks of "Heartbreak Ridge" on the eastern front. There is no end to the fighting in sight. Elsewhere the 150-mile front is relatively quiet. A sweep by 34 F-86 Sabre Jets over Sinanju brought out 50 MIGs. For 25 minutes dogfights swirled from 30,000 to 10,000 feet. Col. Benjamin S. Preston of Holywood, Fla., and Maj. William T. Wisner of Shreveport, La., reported the two damaged planes. There were no reports of U.N. losses. There was every evidence—in the length of battle and the lack of serious damage to the MIGs—that the reds were using better planes and better tactics. The battle followed by less than 24 hours history's greatest day of jet warfare. Wednesday the reds and Allies threw 256 fighters into combat. In the bitter battle for Heartbreak Ridge, the reds Wednesday threw back all efforts by French and American troops to capture the heights. The ridge has absorbed almost all the heavy ground fighting along the battlefront for days. The Army announced this week an increase of 2212 U.S. casualties over last week. Presumably most of the casualties were on slopes of Heartbreak. The main assault is directed along the heights where a red balloon is all but cut off. French troops Thursday assaulted the position. NE WAFFLE, 29, of Garden Grove suffered severe injuries yesterday morning when his motorcycle collided with a car driven by Emmanuel Bricker Sirochi, 30, of Los Angeles. Picture shows Waffle as Crane ambulance attendance make ready to lift him onto the stretcher. Sirochi is standing to the left.—(Gazette photo by Kreidt.) Matt Ridgway Wants Peace Talks Resumed Out in No Man’s Land TOKYO (P)—Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway today proposed that Koen cease-fire talks be moved from Kaesong six miles southeast to no-man’s land. The proposed nation is near Songhyon village. Ridgway said the new site would be kept free of armedops. He also suggested that negates resume discussion on location of a military buffer across the Korean peninsula. He was the subject that tied up sides would abstain from any hostile act or exercise of authority over members of the other side in their passage to this point or while they are here. “If you concur, I will arrange to have our liaison officers meet to discuss immediate erection of the necessary physical facilities.” Garden Grover Hurt in Accident Eight persons were injured in Orange county traffic accidents during the past 24 hours, according to California Highway Patrol reports. Gene Waffle, 29, 1286 Sixth st., Garden Grove, suffered possible severe back injuries and a fractured ankle at about 10:30 a.m. yesterday, when his motorcycle collided with a car driven by Emmanuel Bricker Sirochi, 30, Los Angeles restaurateur, at Ball rd., and Euclid ave. Dodgers Drop Again, 4-3 BOSTON (AP)—Boston slashed Brooklyn's National league lead to a half game over the idle New York Giants today, with a 4-3 victory that snapped Preacher Roe's 10-game win streak.
