Garden Grove Polio Victim Returns Home Michael D. Nelson, aged 20 months, of 12271 Elmwood ave. Garden Grove, has been discharged from Ruth Home—Elizabeth Kenny Institute. El Monte, after taking treatments for poliomyelitis lasting 10 months. The boy is the son of Norborne Nelson, chief boatswain's mate USN, at present stationed in Long Beach. Little Michael, it was stated, will require extensive most-hospital treatment at the Ruth Home Out-Patient Clinic, also in El Monte. Superior Judge George A. Dock-weller, president of the Sister Elizabeth Kenny Foundation, states that pending alterations which will double the capacity of the Institute, temporary ward facilities have been set up to care for an additional 14 polio patients. This brings the present total capacity to 43. When the altered hospital wing is completed some time in December, he said, facilities will exceed 60 beds. Care of additional patients, Judge Dockweiler continued, has been made possible through the generosity of contributors to the May 1951 campaign. The Kenny Foundation hopes, he said, that the Institute's record of recoveries, which amount to 85 percent, will be bettered during the coming year. Clyde C. Carter Dies in Hospital Clyde C.

Douglas Plane Workers Return To Work Finally LONG BEACH (UP) — Douglas Aircraft Co. reported that 90 per cent of the day shift returned to work at the plant here today. A strike closed the factory Sept. 5. Douglas officials said they expected other workers to return during the week but did not know how many took other jobs during the walkout. The strike, affecting 10,000 employees, concerned wages and working conditions at the plant, which makes military transports. The strikers, members of the CIO United Auto Workers union, voted to go back to their jobs after the union's executive board recommended a strike "recess." The Federal Wage Stabilization board, on President Truman's request, asked workers to return under previous contract terms while the board considers the case. The UAW asked a 10 per cent wage increase plus ten cents an hour. Employees are now paid $1.25 to $2.10 an hour. Part of the boost would be retroactive to October, 1950 and part to April, 1951. The company offered 10 per cent plus six cents hourly, but neither retroactively. Eat more California Oranges. New Foundation Established for College at Davis DAVIS, Calif.

The university said the new foundation will particularly study ways of improving farming on arid and semi-arid lands.

West and on file today in superior court. The settlement was offered by George Nakano, Ben Nakano and Dan Nakano, of Occanside brothers who were sued for injuries suffered by the youth in a San Clemente traffic crash Aug. 10, 1950. His brother, Lamar Trotti, Jr., 18, was killed in the crash, and Mrs. Hattie Reese Johnson, 50, colored servant of the Trotti family, also died in the wreck when the Trotti car was struck head-on by a truck driven by George Nakano.

Mr. and Mrs.' Lamar Trotti sued the Nakanos, the Yellow Cab Co. of San Clemente, and A. A. Alta, superintendent of Ontario hospital, all of whom were more or less involved in the collision. Alta proved to be less involved, in the role of innocent bystander, and his suit against Nakano was decided in his favor. Trotti dismissed the suit against Alta. Yesterday's $13,000 settlement with Nakano included a settlement of $100 against the Yellow Cab Co.
