Solons Say Morale Low at El Toro; Marine Battlefield Morale 'High' Local Marines Gripe About Food, Lighting WASHINGTON (AP)—Senate investigators today reported "widespread dissatisfaction" with the food at the El Toro, Calif., Marine Corps air station. And Marines at Camp Pendleton, Calif., have to go to the latrines if they want to do any reading at night. Correction of these unsatisfactory conditions was recommended by a Senate Armed Services committee headed by Senator Johnson (D-Tex). To Please Inspector The food situation at El Toro was better than when committee investigators visited the station in August, they said. But the improvement was attributed to a special effort to please the Marine Corps inspector general on a recent inspection. "Many enlisted men expressed the fear that now that 'the heat was off' the meals would soon deteriorate to the low standards prevailing before the inspector's visit," the committee reported. Urging "all steps necessary to preclude a reversion to the substandard conditions," the committee said much of the kitchen equipment was "antiquated, inefficient, dangerous and was constantly in need of repair." Local Marine On Tour Reports High Morale WASHINGTON (AP)—"The morale among the marines in Korea is excellent." Master Sgt. Rosslyn Manning, 26, of Anaheim, stated in an interview with AP newsmen yesterday in Washington. Sgt. Manning is an enlisted jet pilot, has had 93 combat missions, more than any other marine flyer in Korea, and he has been in the marine corps for nine years, in Korea since February. He, and another California man, Sgt. Buddy Lee Burris of Tupman, were selected for their outstanding service records to represent the marine corps on a nationwide tour with fighting men of 18 other nations making up the United Nations Forces in Korea. Sgt. Burris won the Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart in combat with the First Marine Division. Their visit to Washington coincided with a Senate Armed Services committee report of discontent among marines stationed at Camp Pendleton and El Toro, Calif., and Camp Lejeune, N.C. "There's no griping like that in Korea," said Burris in an interview. "We have a job to do over there and we're doing it." "There’s no lack of esprit de corps among the marines shooting it out with the communists in the fear that now that 'the heat was off the meals would soon deteriorate to the low standards prevailing before the inspector's visit,' the committee reported. Urging "all steps necessary to preclude a reversion to the substandard conditions," the committee said much of the kitchen equipment was "antiquated, inefficient, dangerous and was constantly in need of repair." Food Spoiled, Wasted A food service officer in charge of one of the dining halls told investigators that food had often been spoiled and wasted because of the poor condition of the (Continued on Page 8) Battle Casualties Mount in Korea WASHINGTON (UP)—The Defense Department today identified 427 more battle casualties in Korea.

"We will give our fullest cooperation to the Los Angeles Police department," they said. "We have no objection to proper questioning of McCracken in connection with the Gluskoter case, but we see no reason why such questioning could not be done here in the Orange County jail." Capt. Gordon Bowers of the LAPD conferred with Sheriff James Musick yesterday and said he will seek authority to remove McCracken to Los Angeles for questioning following sentencing of the convicted murderer and sex offender tomorrow. he, as Kangaroo Court not skyrocket fines Hal-ystone Kops, Kangarooino contest are highlights we'en jamboree sponsored Harwood Larson chair-Lynn Brown, president. pertson.)

Heavy British Vote has Both Sides Suspecting Heavy Socialist Turnout LONDON (UP)—Voting ended in the British general election at 9 o'clock tonight (1 p.m. PST) with indications mounting that the total ballot would exceed even the record vote cast last year. Some political analysts thought it had exceeded 30,000,000, or about 85 per cent of the registered electorate. Labor party leaders were jubilant over the heavy vote, saying "a record vote always means a Labor victory." The Conservatives, led by Winston Churchill, went into the election heavily favored to win. They continued to express confidence in the outcome but said the heavy vote this morning was predominantly Socialistic. From various polling points, election officials reported voting was more than 20 per cent higher today than during a similar period. As a result, thousands of Laborites failed to ballot. It was Winston Churchill's second great effort in less than two years to overthrow the Socialist government. The vast, underlying issue presented to the voters today was whether a labor government, with a policy of socialistic controls over business and industry, should continue this system. The polls closed at 9 p.m. (1 p.m. PST) and, unlike American elections, no partial figures on the voting are announced. In the 1950 election, the Conservatives' final surge, which came close to overfacing the Socialists, did not appear until the final 12 hours of the announcement of district results. The Conservatives, led by Winston Churchill, went into the election heavily favored to win. They continued to express confidence in the outcome but said the heavy vote this morning was predominantly Socialist. From various polling points, election officials reported voting was more than 20 per cent higher today than during a similar period in the 1950 election. A Labor government teller said it was the highest he had seen "in 40 years." The size of the popular vote is significant. The Labor government retained power last year by a scant six seats. Party spokesmen said Socialists had been over-confident. Supervisors Hold Out for Court Plan Tryout Orange county supervisors Tuesday preferred "to let matters stand as they are" in regard to a request by a committee of the Orange county Justices and Constables' Assn. to change the justice court reorganization plan to permit more than the two municipal courts and three justice courts now scheduled to be set up Jan. 1, 1952. The supervisors said they preferred not to move until the new court plan has been given a try-out. The Santa Ana-Orange and Anaheim-Fullerton municipal court districts and the Newport Beach, Huntington Beach-Seal Beach and Laguna Beach-San Clemente justice court districts will replace the present 13 city and 11 township courts under the reorganization plan which was recommended by the state's judicial council. Warner told the committee that County Counsel Joel Ogle ruled that supervisors "at any time" can establish additional justice courts, even taking away some of the territory of municipal court district The polls closed at 8 p.m. (1 p.m., PST) and, unlike American elections, no partial figures on the voting are announced.

New York Paper Sponsors Ike As GOP Nominee NEW YORK (UP) — The New York Herald Tribune is supporting Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the Republican nomination for president in 1952. Mrs. Ogden Reid, president of the newspaper, made the announcement last night to the audience of the Herald Tribune forum after the meeting itself was over. Simultaneously, front page editorials endorsing the general appeared in Paris and New York editions of the newspaper, which classifies itself politically as independent-Republican. Eisenhower, the paper said, "is the man" for the Republican party. A former New England publisher says Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower told him he would run for president "if it were a matter of duty." Leonard V. Finder, who was active in the short-lived Eisenhower boom of 1948, wrote in Collier's magazine that Eisenhower would accept either a Republican or Democratic draft if "it is clearly an expression of the American people's wishes." Finder said the general told him: "You have always understood that I do not want political office, that I have done my best to avoid it; but that I would have to accept if it were a matter of duty. I have never placed myself above my country's commands." Sanitation Board To Meet Monday Board members of Sanitation Districts 1 (Santa Ana), 2 (Orange, Anaheim and E. Fullerton), 3 (West Fullerton, La Habra, Buena Park and Garden Grove) and 11 (Huntington Beach) will meet in an informal session Monday night at the Sanitation District office in Santa Ana in an effort to reach agreement on one of two proposed sanitation plans. Braden Finch, chairman of the joint meeting, said "Neither attorneys or engineers will attend this session Monday. We're going to discuss matters of policy, not engineering or legal features of the deadlock." The plans in question are: 1, the original, long-range sewerage plan devised by Vinton W. Bacon, engineer after whom the plan has been named; and 2, a modified plan by the engineering firms of Harrison Wolley, Santa Ana, and Headman, Ferguson and Garollo, Phoenix, Ariz. District 11 is currently holding out against the other six sanitation districts for the modified plan for sewerage disposal. Monday night's session will seek to find means for solving the impasse brought about by Huntington Beach's refusal to budge against the majority pressure.
