Proud male in the picture is Ralph Beatty, president of the local parlor. Helen Weir Wins Local Title: 'The Girl of the Golden West' Miss Helen Weir, holder of many beauty titles in Anaheim, Orange County and Los Angeles, added another to her list last night when Mother Colony parlor of Native Sons of the Golden West selected her as their representative for the district contest to choose "The Girl of the Golden West" for 1951. Miss Weir, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Weir of 13212 E. Katella ave., Anaheim, won the local contest last night in competition with Miss Barbara Dobbee, Miss Placentia of 1951, and Miss Darlene Bergman, Miss Brea of 1951. District Contest Nov. 18 The Southern California district contest will be held at the River-side Inn Nov. 13 preliminary to the final judging by a committee of newspapermen from the Greater Los Angeles Press club Dec. 1. More than 180 cities will be participating in the final contest. Miss Weir will ride in the Mother Colony parlor's Anaheim Hallowe'en parade float as "The Girl of the Golden West," sharing honors with Superior Court Judge Raymond Thompson of Fullerton, who will drive his 1917 Locomobile, the "hot-rod of pioneer days." Winner in Rose Tourney. If Miss Weir is winner of the district contest she will also ride on the Native Sons and Daughters McCracken Quiz Proposed in Gluskoter Case Sentencing of Henry Ford McCracken Friday for the murder of Patty Jean Hull, 10, of Buena Park, may not be the end of questioning and trials for him, it developed today when Capt. Gordon Bowers of the Los Angeles Police department conferred with Sheriff James Musick in Santa Ana on the possibility of questioning the 34 year old, guitar-playing sex offender in connection with the abduction and murder of Rochelle Gluskoter from Los Angeles in 1946. Florida Growers Insured Cost Of Production By the Farm Editor John M. (Jack) Fox, 39-year-old president of Minute Maid Corporation, one of the largest processors and sellers of frozen orange concentrate and one of the real pioneers in the deal, last Friday offered Florida orange growers a plan "to insure" at least the cost of production and delivery to the processing plants and a share in the proceeds of the sale of the endproduct. Talking at an overflow meeting of the Haines City (Florida) Rotary club with many of the state's citrus leaders as guest, the Minute Maid chief said that the plan would help to stabilize the industry and give the grower a home for his fruit and at the same time give Minute Maid a supply of fruit they badly need. Growers who enter what termed the "Minute Maid growers participation plan" contract to deliver all or a certain part of their orange production to one of the company's plants. At the time of delivery state inspectors make tests and certify as to the solidity within that particular load of fruit and the grower is paid $1 cash at the rate of 11 cents per pound for solids, plus 40 cents a box for picking and hauling. This initial cash payment equals roughly $1 a box. At the same time the grower gets a participation certificate which entitles him to share, or a 50-50 basis, with Minute Maid. Oil Law Approved; Radios Approved For City Vehicles Anaheim now has an oil control ordinance which will regulate drilling within the city limits, following second reading and approval of the measure last night by the city council. As an efficiency and economy measure, the council moved to advertise for bids, to be submitted Nov. 27, on equipping Fire department, Light, Water and Power department, and Street department vehicles with radio communication equipment. Councilmen felt that fire trucks on fire-prevention or education calls in the city could be dispatched to the scene of a fire by radio more quickly and cheaply than by present methods. The same is true of maintenance vehicles of the other departments, they opined. Ask Sewer Bids Bids will be accepted Nov. 27 for construction of the La Palma and Ball rd. sewer trunk lines, following authorization given by the council. Council voted to have the city vacate an easement, 25 by 360 feet just west of the UP tracks between Adele and Sycamore sts. after holding a public hearing at (Continued on Page 8) The Gluskoter girl was abducted near a Los Angeles school and no trace of her was found until one and a half years later when her body was found near Irvine Park, not far from the grave McCracken dug for the Hull child in Trabuco canyon. When McCracken was arrested on suspicion of perpetrating the Patty Hull crime, newspapers and individuals speculated on whether he was connected with the Gluskoter crime. Capt. Bowers said he will seek a court order following the sentencing Friday to transport McCracken to Los Angeles for questioning on the Gluskoter murder. Before acting on his request, the court will have to dispose of expected defense motions, one of which will probably be to have McCracken committed to a mental institution as a sex psychopath. Rain Slated for LA County Tomorrow By the Associated Press Revising his earlier forecast of possible drizzles, the weatherman said: "Rain beginning in Santa Barbara area tomorrow morning and spreading over Los Angeles county by noon tomorrow."

Tomorrow's meeting is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. (9 p.m. Wednesday, EST). Panmunjon is accessible to each side without having to travel through enemy territory. The tiny town now has the appearance of an American carnival. Armistice activities are housed in circus-like tents. Huge colored balloons and searchlights ring the conference area to warn warplanes away from the neutral zone. Resumption of the conference talks was made possible when the communists Wednesday ratified security ground rules drafted by U.N. and communists liaison officers in 12 meetings at Panmunjon since Oct. 10. The U.N. had approved the ground rules Monday. Joy and Gen. Nam II, 38-year-old North Korean, again heard the delegations. There will be two new men on each. If and when the negotiators agree on a line of demarcation between the U.N. and communist armies, they still face three tough issues: 1. How the truce is to be supervised. 2. How to exchange prisoners. 3. What recommendations to make to their respective governments. This includes the Red demand that foreign troops be withdrawn from Korea.

The Suez and the Cairo areas were quiet after violent outbursts of anti-British rioting, and the government issued stern warnings against new outbursts. But tension between the British and the Egyptians quickened. A British naval spokesman in Cairo said Egypt deliberately was "trying to make things difficult" for the British at the Canal entrances, and that the Egyptians broke a previous arrangement to clear British ships carrying supplies for Britain's military forces in the Canal Zone. British Navy officials issued a communique saying that as a result the navy now was issuing clearance certificates stating that Egyptian clearance was withheld "illegally." Thus far, no British ships have been delayed. The British maintained a brigling armed defense along the Suez Canal. The Cruiser Gambia the Destroyer Chevron were ported at Port Said. The Destro Chequers and the Frigate Cygne were said to be at Suez. Egypt ordered the British to get out Suez and the Anglo-Egyptian dan.

Freeway to Close Briefly Tomorrow Tomorrow, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., it will be necessary to close Anaheim-Telegraph Road in the vicinity of the crossing of the Santa Fe Railroad and Garfield Avenue in order to permit the placing of huge steel plate girders for railroad construction, according to Paul O. Harding, State Highway engineer. There are two steel girders 60 feet long, weighing 28 tons each, that will have to be swung into place by truck cranes operated by the Consolidated Western Steel Company, he said. Eastbound traffic will be turned off Anaheim-Telegraph Road at Washington blvd., and westbound traffic will be turned off at Slauson ave. This procedure is necessary in the furtherance of work on the Santa Ana Freeway where construction is now in progress by the State Division of Highways for 8 miles between the easterly city limits of Los Angeles and Lakewood blvd., the estimated cost of which is $12,000,000, Harding said.

Incidents Open Tomorrow; or Reds if Conference Fails Chinese Reds Target for Poised Allies SEOUL, Korea (UP)—If the next Korean armistice talks fall one of the unhealthiest things in the world would be a Chinese communist in Korea. During the past three and one-half months United Nations forces have forged gains up to 12 miles deeper into North Korea. They have wrested more than 250 square miles of red territory. Granted the fighting was touch-and-go in several places and casualties ran unusually high, these gains are nothing to what Gen. James A.

Orange County Supervisors yesterday slapped the hands of the county planning commission in reversing the planners' decisions on four permit applications. Their action was spiced by a verbal volley of criticism of the planners by outspoken Supervisor Ralph McFadden of Placentia. McFadden's sustained outburst was touched off by a split decision of the commission's regarding a permit for a Navy lieutenant's family to live in a trailer. Navy Lt. H. S. Thorington won permission for his family to live in a $5500 trailer he owns on property he bought on the north side of Trask ave., west of Canery st., west Garden Grove. Planners split, 5 to 5, on his request, thereby failing to approve his application. Supervisors Agree There were no objections from the neighbors, but the planners had asserted the trailer "should not be used for living purposes in an existing residential neighborhood. Thorington said he wanted his family to live in the trailer while he goes to sea, and that he plans eventually to improve the property he bought. Supervisors unanimously agreed with him. Then came the blast. Electrical Products Corp. got a permit for one sign at Grand Ave. and Orangethorpe Blvd., Buena Park, when McFadden objected to the recommendation of denial by the plan board "because there are no signs similarly located on other premises in the immediate vicinity." He said there was no (Continued on Page 5) US Motors, Inc.

The factory will employ 1500 employees initially and will be expanded ultimately to require the services of 4000 workers. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 78.
