VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH U.S. Motors Files Factoryv Building Permit Request Seeking permit to build a new industrial plant that will ultimately employ 4000 people on a 75-acre site along Santa Ana freeway between Anaheim and Buena Park.

Brain Test Fails To Give Help in McCracken Case Disappointed by failure of a scientific test last night to show damage to Henry Ford McCracken's brain, his attorneys today tried to obtain a prosecution stipulation that he might be epileptic anyway. They failed again, then went ahead with presentation of McCracken's insanity defense to the child murder of which he has been convicted.

They failed again, then went ahead with presentation of McCracken's insanity defense to the child murder of which he has been convicted. An electro-encephalogram performed on McCracken at the USC clinic in Los Angeles last night by Dr. Nicholas Bercal, neuro-psychiatrist of Cedars of Lebanon hospital, failed to show the brain damage which the defense lawyers, George Chula and James Monroe hoped to find. Trial Resumed When the insanity trial was resumed this morning, they proposed a stipulation that the test showed a normal brain, but that 20 per cent of epilepsy victims are in the range of normal. District Attorney James L. Davis promptly refused to accept "any such double barrelled stipulation." The defense has attempted to show through cross-examination of court alienists that McCracken might be subject to epilepsy which would account for the confused mental state and hallucinations which he claimed to have after Patty Jean Hull, 10, of Buena Park, was slain in his motel cabin last May 19. The McCracken lawyers also questioned one psychiatrist regarding paresis of the brain, a milder form of insanity. Neither theory was admitted by the psychiatrist, who said there was no indication of epilepsy or paresis in their examinations of McCracken or in his history. Illusions 'Not Logical' They reiterated their opinions that though he is a sex-psycopath, he is legally sane. The illusions he claimed to have were "not logical," said Dr. W. S. Musfelt, last of three psychiatrists. The defense opened its case to (Continued on Page 5) U.S. Motors, Inc., located at 200 E.

The firm designs, manufactures, fabricates and assembles electric motors and power transmissions of all types and sizes, with parts and castings, it was stated. It's business is principally wholesale. Having outgrown the Los Angeles plant, the company decided to seek an Orange county location on the freeway. It will employ 85 per cent skilled labor and a fourth of its crew will be office and clerical workers, the application said. "Clean" Industry The application pointed out that there will be no industrial waste from the plant, nor fumes, odors or excessive noise of machinery. Only acid used in operation is chromic acid, which will be carted away for reprocessing, it was stated. The application said that presently sewage disposal depends uponcess pools and septic tanks.

Security Council today, still sharply at odds settlement. Iran's Premier Mohammed Sadegh worked through last on another installment of speech attacking British haul of oil in Iran.

Hossein Fatemi, deputy pro-told a news conference Iran Norway Taking Hostile Attitude Towards Soviet Union -- Claims Bitter Russia MOSCOW (UP) — Russia charged last night with breaking a year-old treaty by letting the strategic Spitzbergh archipelago for naval bases. The protest note which Soviet Minister Andrei Wishinbanded to Norwegian Ambasadors Carstén Helgeby also accused Norway of letting officers of the North Atlantic treaty organization (NATO) approach the Russian border on inspection trips. "The Norwegian government takes upon itself the responsibility for the results of such a policy," the note said. It warned that Russia could not remain "indifferent." Norway is the only one of the 12 original NATO members which borders on Russia. The note declared Norway violated the 1920 international treaty demilitarizing the islands by letting NATO forces take control of Spitzbergen Island and the long-disputed Bear (Medvezhi) Island, which lies about 475 miles northwest of the Soviet port of Murmansk. Spitzbergen lies some 1000 miles northwest of Murmansk. Russia has special interests in this Polar area. Both she and Norway get coal from Spitzbergen. The 1920 treaty gave Spitzbergen to Norway and prohibited the use of the islands for "warlike purposes." On several occasions Russia has claimed that Bear Island actually was a Russian island and assailed the validity of the treaty on that ground.

Hossein Fatemi, deputy premier, and a news conference Iran would Plans to Run Because He Thinks He Can Conduct Right Kind of Campaign WASHINGTON (F)—Senator Taft announced today he is a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. "I am going to run because I believe I can conduct the only kind of a campaign which will elect a Republican to office," the Senator told a crowded press conference. Taft issued three carefully prepared statements to more than 100 newmen, photographers and others who filled the large committee room used by Republican Senators. The longest statement said he would enter the Wisconsin presidential primary and also accept the bid of Ohio delegates to the nominating convention next year. Son of Ex President Robert Alphonso Taft is the tall with a quiet sense of humor. Taft has often taken the unpopular side of a question — has risked political suicide more than once—with the calm assertion that time will prove him right. Blasts Truman He also has been known to change his position on occasion and—as in the case of the communist-in-government crusade of Senator McCarthy (R-Wis)—to adopt a policy of silence that could be interpreted either as secret approval or aloofness. Senator Taft last night outspokenly assailed the Truman administration for "corruption" at home and "wavering and weakness" abroad.

A sometimes impatient man, Tough Air Battle Rages in Korea Over Retreats U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, KOREA (P) — American jet pilots shot down nine red jets and damaged five others today in two roaring air battles. The U. S. Fifth Air Force said one Sabre was lost. All but one of the reds' MIG-15s were hit in history's deadliest jet battle. It erupted late in the day between 33 U. S. jets and more than 100 MIGs. The battle ranged from six miles in the sky down to tree top level. The dog-fighting jets raced over the 500 square miles of northwest Korea that form MIG-Alley. It was all over in 15 minutes. Veteran American jet pilots said it was the roughest fight they've had. On the ground Allied infantrymen smashed forward on three fronts.

The pro-government newspaper Al Balagh said 10 Egyptians and two Britons were killed in the fighting. Britain announced in London it was sending reinforcements to the troops in the canal area as public excitement erupted in violent demonstrations in Cairo and elsewhere in Egypt over the Egyptian demand that the British get out of the Suez and the Sudan. The British troops were called out at Ismailia on the west side of the Suez canal, where crowds attempted to burn British equipment. A. Balagh said 80 Egyptians and one Briton were wounded in the ensuing fighting. A British army spokesman in Cairo said he could not confirm or deny the newspaper's casualty reports. Another newspaper report said in a dispatch from Port Said that rioting broke out there. Port Said is on the northern end of the strategic Suez canal, a vital link in the proposed chain of defenses the west is trying to build up against possible communist aggression. Within easy flying distance of the Suez is the 16th British airborne brigade on Cyprus. These troops could be sent along to Suez to reinforce the Suez garrison. judges will grade the 20 lovely young girls on 1. Originality of attire; 2. Suitability of costume and wearer; 3.
