Getting the old girl off to a good start are, from left, Tabbe Bob Thomson Hits Three-Run Homer In Ninth to Win National Pennant NEW YORK (P)—Bobby Thomson’s three-run homer in the last of the ninth won the National League pennant for the New York Giants today over Brooklyn, 5-4, in the last of a three-game tie playoff. Climaxing their sensational up-hill surge that overcame a 13½ game Brooklyn lead of Aug. 11 and sent them into a playoff, the Giants snatched their 16th flag out of the embers of defeat. With hope all but gone after a three-run Brooklyn rally in the eighth, Thomson hammered a line drive into the lower left field seats on the second pitch thrown by relief pitcher Ralph Branca. The blow turned the Polo Grounds into a tumult with Giants hopping over one another’s shoulders to explode their enthusiasm in a greeting to Thomson. As a result the Giants go into the World Series with the New York Yankees tomorrow at Yankee stadium. Trailing 4-1 going to the ninth, the Giants closed the gap to 4-2 on singles by Al Dark and Don Mueller and Whitey Lockman’s double off the left field wall. Lockman’s smash knocked out big Don Newcombe, who had a four-hitter going into the ninth. On Brancea’s second pitch, Thomson broke up the ball game and the pennant race with one swing of his bat. Not since the 1914 Boston Brave miracle men surged from last to first in a superb finish has a club rallied like Leo Durocher’s Giants to win a pennant. And this tops them all for the Giants were hopefully beaten. Thomson ran for second, not realizing it was occupied. He tried to get back to first but was an easy out. May flied out to Pafko in left.

Globemaster Flies: 127 Men to Japan TOKYO (P) — One hundred twenty-seven wounded men were brought to Japan from Korea Tuesday by a giant C-124 Globe master—triple the load carried by the C-54. The Globemaster brought 55 litter and 70 ambulatory patients Within 23 minutes, the wounded Allied soldiers were in ambulances and on their way to hospitals. Three nurses and three medical technicians accompanied them in flight. The Globemaster carried 40,000 pounds of aircraft engines and parts to Korea for the U.S. Fifth Air Force.

He comes before a jury in Superior Judge Robert Gardner's court, in Santa Ana, for a decision on the question of his sanity. He has pleaded that he was insane when the little girl met her death in his motel cabin at Buena Park. He also said that the girl died as the result of an accidental fall from the kitchen table in his cabin, but a jury rejected that story along with the talking dog "halucination," after a jury at his NAHEIM GAZETTE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1951 Reds Explode Two A-Bombs In USSR WASHINGTON (UP)—The White House announced today that Russia has exploded another atomic bomb. The government today was reported analyzing data which indicated Russia has made two new atomic explosive tests, one successful, the other a dizzle. Presidential Secretary Joseph Short told reporters: “Another atomic bomb has recently been exploded within the Soviet Union.” Short declined to give any details.

Once-Proud To Lose Grief Of Intensive Blackout of New High-Powered U.S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea (UP)—A thunderous United Nations artillery barrage roared along the west side front today while war planes tried to break up the biggest Red army effort since the last communist offensive.

He asked a writ of mandate to compel the city council to reinstate him in his old job or a comparable position, as recommended by the Civil Service board. Hanson managed the Veterans Housing Project adjacent to the Santa Ana Municipal Bowl until called into military service with the 40th Division, Aug. 15, 1950. He received an honorable discharge last April 15 and applied for his old job four days later. But the council is now engaged in vacating and razing the housing project, which is supervised by Dale Griggs, park superintendent. There was no place for Hanson. The Civil Service board on May 22 recommended his reinstatement on June 4. Hanson's petition for writ of mandate asks not only reinstatement, but full pay from last April 19, when he applied for reinstatement.

Three psychiatrists appointed by the court to examine McCracken, also have rejected his plea of insanity. Dr. Hyman Tucker, head of Norwalk state hospital, Dr. M. W. Conway and Dr. W. S. Musfelt, both of Santa Ana, filed reports with the court calling McCracken a sex psycopath but declaring that he is legally sane. The problem of McCracken’s attorneys, George Chula and James Monroe, at the insanity trial, will be to break down the opinions of these psychiatrists.

Planners OK: An Oil Law After a five hour session, the Anaheim City Planning Commission today submitted an oil control ordinance to the City Council for its consideration. The vote was 6 to 1. The ordinance, which would permit highly city-controlled drilling of oil within the city limits, is based on a rough draft of an ordinance drawn up by city Attorney Preston Turner, which includes some of the provisions of an ordinance submitted some time ago by Planning Consultant Gordon Whitnall. By a 4 to 3 vote, a rider was placed on the commission’s action which asks the City Council to consider its previous recommendation that the oil question be submitted to a city-wide vote. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 79. High for the previous 24 hours was 77 at 3 p.m. yesterday. Low was 61 at 6 a.m. today. WEATHER S.

Troops who held Allied inmen to no gains yesterday and two battalion-sized probtacks of their own today. "Partial blackout", frequent sign of an impending offensive under the Reds or Allies, was red on news from the war Wednesday. Warships and night-raiding planes concentrated on breaking up this near record volume of supplies being rushed toward the front. An FEAF communique said Red trucks "suffered very heavy losses." The Allied artillery barrage on the western front was one of the heaviest of the Korean war. Gunfire reached to within 12 miles of Kaesong, site of disrupted truce talks which the Reds broke off 42 days ago. Shells hit the Reds in ridges running northeast from Korangpo. The town is 12 miles east of Kaeo. ABADAN, Iran UP—The British pulled out of Abadan today to give Iran full possession of the world's greatest refinery. The British departure came after a month of Iranian pressure. It was a sad and solemn affair. The evacuees privately said this was one of Britain's most humiliating moments. It was, indeed, in contrast to the proud days when the roar of the British lion made the world take notice. That was the way it was when the British came to Iran in the early years of this century. Iran now lays claim to oil riches which the country had granted to Britain under a royalty agreement which was to have lasted until 1993. There was no noticeable change over here today. Since last June, when they first today while war planes tried to break up the biggest Red support since the last commuoffensive. troops who held Allied inmen to no gains yesterday and two battalion-sized probtacks of their own today.

The blackout recalled a Red Chilroadcast Saturday asserting flices were preparing to makeaneous amphibious landings with coasts of North Korea. Allied Command has not compelled on this broadcast. Far East Air Forces (F) noted significantly that spotted 4,355 Red trucks on highways Tuesday night—"the last number in a single night the Communists' last aboroffensive" in mid-May. Faith, Hope Not Dead—Here's Proof Faith, hope and good cheer are items conspicuously absent from the current American scene as viewed through newspaper headlines, so it was with a warming sensation near the heart that the editor read the following on a scrap of paper enclosed with the payment for a year's subscription to the Gazette: From Mary Snyder, 228 N. Lols st., LaHabra, Calif. "Excuse my bad writing, afraid I am going blind. I can still read a little." For her contribution toward faith, hope and good cheer for the general reading public, the Gazette felt Mrs. Snyder should be rewarded. Our small contribution takes the form of a rethe world take notice. That was the way it was when the British came to Iran in the early years of this century. Iran now lays claim to oil riches which the country had granted to Britain under a royalty agreement which was to have lasted until 1993. There was no noticeable change over here today. Since last June, when they first appeared on the scene, Iranian oil company officials have been gradually taking over the fields and refinery complexes step by step. They moved into some British homes as more and more AIOC employees left. Today's departure was orderly, with only a few Iranian police and soldiers on the streets. Refinery Closed Otherwise there was little activity in this oil town. The refinery remained shut down. Storage tanks are nearly filled. K. B. Ross, who ran the refinery for the AIOC, told a reporter that the Iranian National Oil company probably can run the refinery—but only the less complicated equipment producing products such as kerosene, furnace oil and deisel oil. He thought they would have trouble maintaining the machinery in good order. He said that the big international companies, which control most of the available tankers would not carry oil from Abadan under present conditions. Insist They Know Iranian officials insist that they can run the refinery and will get more help if necessary. Iran has announced several more contracts for oil delivery. The departing British were given a message from Sir William Frazer, the AIOC chairman, who paid (Continued on Page 5) Rainfall Misses Anaheim Area Light rainfall was reported in the central, eastern and southern portions of Orange County last night, but bypassed most of the northern and western areas, after depositing nearly a tenth of an inch in some localities.
