Rainmakers Ask More Money from Water District Directors of the Orange County Water district late yesterday took under advisement a second request from the Santa Ana River Weather corporation for financial contribution toward this winter's program of artificial rain-making. President John Myline of the Gage Canal Co., Riverside, and John Battle, meteorologist for the corporation at its Beaumont station, appeared before the local board to urge support, in order to spread the cost among the various contributors in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The corporation is assured of its $30,000 budget, but would like to see the water district participate in this winter's expanded program of operating ground generators, the spokesmen said. Last winter, the water district contributed $2000, and got a refund of $694. Several weeks ago, the corporation sent a request for a contribution of $1000 this winter, but the board at that time declined to act. "One good storm would more than pay for the cost of the program," Battle told the board here yesterday. He admitted that artificial rain-making is still in an experimental stage, "but it is getting to the point of being ridiculous to say that cloud seeding doesn't increase rainfall." he added. Mayor's Proclamation Outlaws Beardless 'Smooth-Pusses' Here PROCLAMATION Herewith, by the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Anaheim, California, I do hereby proclaim and declare all SMOOTH PUSSES outlawed in this community from 12 o'clock noon this day of October 11, 1951 forward through midnight, October 31, 1951 when on that day all of Southern California joins us in celebrating the 28th Annual Anaheim Hallowe'en Festival, Pageant Parade and Show. I do further order all male residents of Anaheim to forswear the application of any razors, scissors or other cutting device to their beards during this period except for the purpose of trimming or shaping said beards to improve their appearance. Violators to this order who appear on the streets of Anaheim with a SMOOTH PUSS are subject to incarceration by duly authorized Keystone Kops, except when said outlawed SMOOTH PUSS owner shall display prominently on his person/the official "1951 SMOOTH PUSS Button" which acts as an official license for the wearer to appear publicly with a SMOOTH PUSS. So ordered and signed this day of October 10, 1951. "One good storm would more than pay for the cost of the program," Battle told the board here yesterday. He admitted that artificial rain-making is still in an experimental stage, "but it is getting to the point of being ridiculous to say that cloud seeding doesn't increase rainfall," he added. Orange county got most of the benefit of last year's operations, Battle said. Only eight silver iodide ground generators were operated last winter. This year, he said, there will be 30 to 40 generators, extending along the Orange coast and in Catalina, as well as inland. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. and Anaheim Union Water Co., Orange county's two major water companies, both are contributing to the program, it was stated. A check from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. to the water (Continued on Page $) Police Arrest Boys On Theft Charges Three local boys, one 15 years old and two 16 year olds, were hauled into the police station in Anaheim yesterday evening by Chester L. Elkins, Examiner dealer, who caught them stealing money from the tops of newspaper piles at Sawyers Drugstore. The boys stole $80c and divided the money between them. Sometimes later the juveniles were released in their parents custody when Elkins decided not to press charges. Local Boy Injured In Car-Bike Crash Injuries were received in a collision between a bicycle ridden by Donald Richard Lake, 13, 304 S. Citron st., and a car driven by Martin Ray Cochran, of Santa Ana yesterday at Center and Citron streets. Lake cut across the street into the side of Cochran's car, striking the front fender, according to police reports. The impact threw him against the windshield, breaking it and a spotlight. The boy was taken to Anaheim Community hospital. Unverified reports have stated that Don Lake received possible internal injuries and a broken collarbone. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 79. High for the previous 24 hours was 89 at 3 p.m. yesterday. Low was 55 at 6 a.m. today. ANAHEIM EST. 1870. GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1951 American Legion To Hold Kwikset Night on Monday Commander Phil Webb, of Anaheim's American Legion Post No. 72, announced today a series of Legion "Industrial Nights"—described as big get-togethers to help local Legionnaires and veterans employed in manufacturing plants in the Anaheim area to get acquainted. Veterans of Kwikset Locks will be honored at the first of the Industrial Nights on Monday, Oct. 16, 8 o'clock p.m., in the Legion hall, 936 N. Lemon St. Local Legionnaires say all veterans, whether or not they are members of the Legion, are urged to attend the big get-together to help fete the Kwiksetters and to get acquainted with their fellow veterans. The Legion commander said "Kwikset veterans were chosen to help kick-off the series of Industrial Nights because of their Egyptians Going to Stron Forcing Out Un-Wanted WHERE NEW TROUBLE BREWS—Map locates Suez Canal (A whose defense by the British under a 20-year agreement with Egypt was threatened by bills placed before the Egyptian parliament by Prime Minister Mustafa Nahas Pasha. Also involved Local Legionnaires say all veterans, whether or not they are members of the Legion, are urged to attend the big get-together to help fete the Kwiksetters and to get acquainted with their fellow veterans. The Legion commander said "Kwikset veterans were chosen to help kick-off the series of Industrial Nights because of their large numbers and because the company and its employees are, like the Legion, unusually active in community affairs." The get-acquainted meetings will be held by the Legion once a month. On succeeding dates veterans from the north-end industrial area and other parts of Anaheim will be honored—as will employees of Robertshaw-Fulton, Northrop and Daystrom, when the firms become operative. Water Board Asks MWD Annexation Expressing concern at seeming public overconfidence, directors of the Orange County Water district late yesterday passed a resolution urging support of the proposal to annex the Orange County Municipal Water district to the Metropolitan Water district, at next Tuesday's election. The resolution further warned of possible defeat for the proposal unless its supporters go to the polls and vote. The resolution set forth that the water district directors have studied the water problem at length and find that the only solution to the critical water shortage is to import outside water from the Colorado river, to replenish the depleted local supply.

These difficulties added to those of the British involved in the Iranian oil situation and the removal of British workers from Abadan (underlined—(Associated Press Wirephoto Map.)) County Farm Bureau to Begin County-Wide Membership Drive In keeping with the football season, the Orange County Farm Bureau will field a team October 17 which is expected to number between 200 to 300 members of the countywide organization and will make their touchdowns through acquiring new memberships. The $2,200,000 Lemon Payment OK'd Payments totaling $2,200,000 were authorized yesterday by the board of directors of the Exchange Lemon Products company, D. F. McMillen, general manager, announced. Payment will be made to member Sunkist Lemon Associations early in November, he stated. The payment, authorized by the company's board of directors at its October meeting held yesterday includes a final payment of $600,000 on the 1949-50 pool and a partial payment of $1,600,000 on the current 1950-51 pool. Final payment on the 1949-50 pool brings the total payments for that year to $5,600,000 or an average of $56.00 per ton for all fruit received, the largest annual return in the company's history. The partial payment of $1,600,000 brings the total payment to date for the current year to $2,250,000. Due to varying policies regarding fruit payment it is possible that some Sunkist packing associations have already anticipated the current products payment through day has been designated as Farm Bureau Builders' Day and is observed all over California with thousands of workers taking part in other counties during same period. Nine Farm Bureau centers hold breakfasts in their communities at 6:15 in the morning will tune into a statewide program from 31 stations. State president, Ray B. Wille will speak and there will be broadcasts from many communities, including one from La Habla. Kenneth Casper, Yorba Linda as chairman of the members' department, is coach for the day He has as his assistants nine menbership chairmen in the counc and each of these nine men has a group of "captains" who in turn have a committee of workers. The entire day will be devoted to caring upon the farmers not new members. Orange County's Farm Bureau is already one of the largest in the state and for years was the largest in the West. Tulare, Fresno and Stanislaus counties, with their great agricultural production, have made Orange County take a back seat temporarily, is the hope of the local leader that the gap may be closed. Farm Bureau is a non-profit non-sectarian, non-secret association of farmers. They are not connected with any government agency although they do cooperate closely with the Agricultural E Citrus Market The California Fruit Growers Exchange reported today all auction markets California oranges were higher.

Hiring Office Open at Northrop Site Northrop Aircraft, Inc., has opened an employment office on the site of its new Anaheim division, 500 E. Orangethorpe avenue Anaheim, R. R. Nolan, division manager, announced today. Nolan said the company is commencing occupancy of the 250,000 square-foot building on a progressive basis. He pointed out that the Wm. P. Neil Co., Ltd., of Los Angeles, is making rapid progress in erection of the building. All activities are expected to be transferred to Anaheim from the temporary location in Lawndale by the end of November, although the plant will not be in full operation until 1952. Northrop's plant in Anaheim will build optical range finder for the U.S. Ordnance Corps for use in tanks. Operations at the Anaheim plant will be entirely separate from Northrop's aircraft manufacturing operations in Hawthorne, where Scorpion F-89 all weather interceptors are built for the U.S. Air Force.

The large crowd was strongly escorted by police forces and no incidents were reported in the first stages of the demonstration. Anti-force mobs yesterday smashed British and French business offices, hurled bottles looted from American soft drink distributors' trucks, and set fires. U. S. Motors Seek Local Factory Site Officials of U. S. Electrical Motors Co. of Los Angeles today confirmed a rumor that the company is negotiating for purchase of an industrial site in Anaheim. Location of the site, was not revealed, but rumor has it that it will be in or near the Robertshaw-Fulton Annexation in the vicinity of Manchester blvd. and Euclid ave. Cavalry Troops The demonstrations are the product of violent public support for the plan of Prime Minister Mustapha Nahas El Pasha to oust British troops from the Suez Canal zone and take full control of the jointly ruled Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Shopkeepers hastily lowered steel shutters as the crowds gathered today. The huge crowd streamed toward Mushfa Kamil Square to hear speeches delivered from near the statue of Mushaf Kamil, an Egyptian hero. Kamil led the Nationalist party until his death in 1908, and spearheaded a fight for Egyptian in- Cavalry Troops Mop Up Chinese In Hill Battles U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea (P) — U. S. First Cavalry Division troops mopped up Chinese remnants still clinging to a hill the Americans captured yesterday and launched new attacks. That action, near Yonchon, was less than 25 miles northwest of the spot where United Nations and red liaison officers met in an effort to get truce talks going again. The 88th Regiment of the Second Division stormed through wreathing Chinese resistance by Kim Hung ridge. It seized the crest of one of Kim's many peaks. The beaten Chinese left behind much equipment and the bodies of 50 comrades. South Koreans stormed and captured another hill. The location was not reported. North Korean reds still holding the northernmost peak of nearby Heartbreak Ridge beat back an attack by the U.S. 23rd Infantry Regiment Wednesday night.

Sewerage Plan District 11 (Huntington Beach) with the smallest financial interest in the system, and the least need for it, since Huntington Beach is not now using the outfall sewer, blocked all the other districts from proceeding with adoption of a sewerage plan at Liaison Officers Plan for Truce Talks in Tent MUNSAN, KOREA (P)—United Nations and communist liaison officers met twice today and reds reported they made headway toward reopening truce talks. They scheduled another session for 10 a.m. tomorrow (8 p.m. Thursday EST). The fact that another meeting was scheduled was interpreted as meaning the liaison officers failed to reach final agreement on resumption of negotiations which the reds broke off Aug. 23. Both United Nations command and red sources announced the third session. The report of progress came... District 11 (Huntington Beach) with the smallest financial interest in the system, and the least need for it, since Huntington Beach is not now using the outfall sewer, blocked all the other districts from proceeding with adoption of a sewerage plan at last night's sanitation board meeting, by refusing to approve the plan. The other six sanitation districts voted to adopt the original Bacon, or "bond issue" plan, on which the $8,308,000 sewer bonds were voted two and a half years ago. Adoption of this plan would have permitted immediate steps to sell the bonds and proceed with construction of the sewerage system, since the required agreements for purchase of the present JOS system and for construction and operation of the system were based on the Bacon plan and would not need revising. Each of the six districts voted unanimously to proceed with the Bacon plan, with the exception of Charman Willis Warner of the county supervisors, who sits on the board of each district, representing the rural areas outside of cities or sanitary districts. Warner, who lives in Huntington Beach, and is chairman of District 11, cast a "no" vote in each district. Chief Engineer - General Manager Raymond R. Ribal had advised the districts that he believed the bond money would cover the cost of the Bacon plan, and there would be no need to use the modi- They scheduled another session for 10 a.m. tomorrow (8 p.m. Thursday EST). The fact that another meeting was scheduled was interpreted as meaning the liaison officers failed to reach final agreement on resumption of negotiations which the reds broke off Aug. 23. Both United Nations command and red sources announced the third session. The report of progress came from red sources at Panmunjom, communist check point where liaison officers are holding their meetings. Communist newsmen said the red liaison staff reported the two teams agreed on most "technical agreements" for a meeting of armistice negotiators near Panmunjom. Liaison officers apparently still had to settle on a neutrality agreement for the Panmunjom site. The communists have insisted that the truce negotiators themselves should decide on the boundaries of the neutral area, and the conditions for jointly enforcing it. The United Nations command takes the stand that liaison officers should draft the neutrality agreement and the truce envoys ratify it. Communists want a large neutral zone reaching from the old site at Kaesong to Munsan, headquarters of the Allied truce team. The U.N. wants the zone to cover only the immediate area which lies between Kaesong and Munsan. The two sessions of liaison officers today lasted three hours and 15 minutes. Meetings were held in a large tent erected by
