EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea (P)—A powerful tank-led American task force slashed eight miles through green Chinese troops in a surprise attack on the eastern front today. Chinese "fled in every direction," a tank officer reported. Front line dispatches said the tanks clanked up a river bed trail prepared in advance by American engineers. On the way they shot up Red bunkers on filltops near heartbreak ridge. A full regiment of infantrymen—about 3,750 men and officers at full strength—advanced on the flanks of the tanks. Other Americans were involved in heavy fighting elsewhere in the east. One U.S. Second Division unit was forced to withdraw from a ridge by a counterattack of 1000 Reds. Other Second Division forces hacked out gains of a few hundred yards. In the west U.S. First Division cavalrymen beat back a 1000-man Chinese counterattack in the early morning darkness, then drove ahead a short distance against deeply entrenched Chinese. B-29 Superforts blasted two airfields at Pyongyang, the Korean Red capital, with 130,000 pounds of high explosives in the continuing campaign to keep communists from basing their growing air force in Korea. The Reds now have "considerably in excess" of 250 MIG-15 jets operating from their Manchurian bases, said Lt. Gen. O. P. Weyland, commander of the Far East Air Forces. He indicated ceaseless United Nations air attacks influenced communists in agreeing to resume truce talks. Liaison officers Wednesday pledged out a new armistice meet place in no-man's land. It is now Panmunjon, Red check point air miles from Kaesong where communists broke off cease-negotiations Aug. 23. Liaison officers scheduled another meeting Thursday. No date for resuming tralks was announced. But the U.N negotiating team reassembled Korea and service troops went Kaesong to move Allied communications equipment to the new location. The smashing armored thrush heartbreak ridge was the deepest penetration of Red line made by the Allies in the month-long battle among the eastern crags. Four Acres Burned Near Santiago Dam Ignited by lightning during the electrical storm early this morning, four acres of brush and grass south of Santiago dam burned. Dr. Conway Testifies McCracken Normal as Sanity Trial Begins Selection of a jury to try the insanity case of Henry Ford McCracken evening of May 19, the date which he was convicted of mu Four Acres Burned Near Santiago Dam Ignited by lightning during the electrical storm early this morning, four acres of brush and grass south of Santiago dam burned over, before being controlled by fire fighters from state forestry headquarters in Orange. The fire took place at about 2 a.m., but was quickly controlled. The third electrical storm to visit Orange county recently, it caused no other damage. It was accompanied by light showers at about 2:30, but not enough precipitation to measure. PLANNERS REVERSED By unanimous vote, the county supervisors late yesterday overruled the Orange County Planning commission and granted a permit to B. J. Garrett of Buena Park to convert a carport to an addition to his residence, also giving him permission to build another garage if he wishes. The planners rejected his application for a permit last Friday because ingress to his property is by a 16-foot driveway which the planners ruled was not adequate. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 87. High for the previous 24 hours was 93 at 3 p.m. yesterday. Low was 62 at 6 a.m. today. Dr. Conway Testifies McCracken Normal as Sanity Trial Begins Selection of a jury to try the insanity case of Henry Ford McCracken, convicted child-slayer, was completed shortly before noon today in Superior Judge Robert Gardiner's court in Santa Ana. The jury includes five men and seven women with a woman alternate. Dr. M. W. Conway, Santa Ana psychiatrist was on the stand when the noon recess arrived, first of three experts called by the court to report on McCracken's sanity. All three have already filed reports declaring McCracken to be legally sane, although they said he is a sex psychopath. Dr. Conway, who had added in his report, that McCracken's talking-dog story was a "pure fabrication" testified in the early part of his testimony this morning that his examinations uncovered no sign of psychiatric disorder and no evidence of hallucination impulses. He said that McCracken appeared to be in a normal physical and neurological condition with average intelligence considering his limited education. He had left the ninth grade in school at the age of 22. Dr. Conway said that McCracken's memory was good except as to the events of the afternoon and evening of May 19, the date of which he was convicted of murder dering Patty Jean Hull, 10, in her Buena Park motel cabin afterward secretly burying the body of Live Oak Canyon. McCracken could remember going to the theater where he met Patty and he remembered borrowing an auto mobile later with which he disposed of the body, but was unable to recall what happened in the theater, in the motel cabin, or while he had possession of the automobile, the witness said. He said that McCracken had twice married, first at the age of 20 to a 15 year old bride who lived with him 1½ years; next in 1947 his wife running away with an other man after three months of marriage. McCracken, said the witness told Dr. Conway that he had no religion, that he admitted molesting 15 to 20 small girls since leaving the army in 1946 and admitted having venereal disease many times. He received a good conduct medal while in the army but also was punished twice, once for being A.W.O.L. The largest sum of money he ever possessed at one time was a $500 soldier bonus and his longest tenure of a job was nine months on the assembly line of the Ford Motor Co.

(UP)—Mexican secret police whisked Gus Hall, 41, national secretary of the U.S. communist party, across the border here early today into the waiting arms of the FBI. The Mexican communist party had launched a fight against Hall's return to the United States. He had been picked up in Mexico yesterday. Hall is one of the four top U.S. communists who jumped bail in early July after they were convicted of conspiring to teach and advocate violent overthrow of the U.S. government. They were among 11 top communists convicted under the Smith act. Robert Thompson, Gilbert Green, and Henry Winston are still at large. The Civil Rights Mexican license plates drove across the International bridge here at 3 a.m. Four of the men looked like Mexican officers, the other man looked like Hall. In Washington, J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the FBI, announced Hall's arrest here. The FBI said he was being taken to jail immediately. Mexican officials returned Hall to the U.S. only 23 hours after he was arrested in Mexico City.

They were among 11 top communists convicted under the Smith Act. Robert Thompson, Gilbert Green, and Henry Winston are still at large. The Civil Rights Congress which put up the four men's ball, lost its money when they skipped. An international search began when the four failed to show up to begin serving their prison terms. A spokesman for the Mexican communist party had said it would ask the Mexican government to let Hall stay in Mexico as a political refugee. But early today he was brought across the border.

Included as part of the permit was the proposed oil control ordnance. First reading of the new law was held last night with City Clerk Charles Griffith and Councileman Ray Van Wagoner sharing honors in reading the document. It took one and one-half hours. The permit was granted "subject to the regulations and conditions contained in the proposed oil control ordinance, all such regulations and conditions to be included as part of the permit as granted."

The permit was granted "subject to the regulations and conditions contained in the proposed oil control ordinance, all such regulations and conditions to be included as part of the permit, as granted." During the public hearing on Steele's appeal of the Planning Commission's rejection of the drilling permit only three persons rose to speak and their questions were for information only. The solid opposition which met the original request for a drilling permit seemed to have melted away completely. H. W. Colgan of 218 E. Mills dr., one of the audience, may have put his finger on the reason for the absence of opposition when he said: "If there is oil beneath the surface of a property-owner's land, it will be exploited sooner or later. It seems perfectly logical to me to begin drilling for the oil within the city, particularly if the orderly, decent methods outlined in recent publications on the subject are followed." In answering questions from the audience, Mayor Charles Pearson cited two outstanding reasons for permitting drilling within the city: "If we permit drilling within the city," he explained, "we can enforce rigid controls on it. However, if we do not permit the drillers within the city, they will accomplish their ends from sites in the county, on the perimeter of the city, where we have no control. We feel that, in passing this permit, we may forestall promiscuous drilling outside the city, even though we can't actually prohibit it. "The county drill site of the Steele Co., is in an area carmarked for annexation to the city following the MWD election. Since an oil control ordinance is not retroactive, any wells they drilled from that site would be uncontrolled. Our main objective is to prevent promiscuous drilling with him." Surface Oil Lease Facts Bared to Education Board Alleged facts concerning surface oil leases in Anaheim astounded members of the Anaheim City Board of Education last night at the regular monthly meeting. Steele Oil Co. representatives Jim Lathrop and Duane Armstrong appeared at the session to present any facts that might be of interest to the board in view of their property holdings in Anaheim city limits. During the interview Lathrop told board members and spectators that more than 100 acres in the northwest section of Anaheim, within the city limits, had been surface-leased to a competing oil company within the last six months to a year. With respect to the decision to sign not to sign an oil lease, Mr. Chown, board member, ventured the opinion that "we'd be silly", all due respects to the representatives of the Steele Oil Co., if we signed a lease for the sum-of $1 a lease (which is the sum granted by the oil company for the lease rights) when actual advertising in a newspaper, telling of the lease signing, would cost a sum of approximately $150. Coons ended the discussion with a motion that any move on the oil question be tabled until the city council decides on a definite (Continued on Page 6) Soldier Succumbs To Crash Injuries Victim of a Newport Beach traffic accident last Friday, Pfc.
