U.N. Troops Halt Red Attack in Muddy Fighting U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea (P) — United Nations stopped a series of coordinated red attacks today along the muddy east coast of Korea. The reds attacked along a three-mile front in the Kosong sector. The attacks began before midnight. Shouting reds kept coming through the darkness until 5 a.m. By 7:10 a.m., the Eighth Army said, the last communist soldier had been driven back to his own lines. The Kosong sector is 45 miles north of the 38th Parallel, and the northernmost point of the front. It was the only action, aside from patrol clashes, reported in the Eighth Army's evening communique. Sixty miles northwest of Kosong, U. N. warships carried their siege of Wonsan into the 271st day. Destroyer guns set a big Wonsan supply dump afame Monday. It burned fiercely for more than four hours despite a heavy rain. Primaries Still Six Months Away SACRAMENTO (P) — The primaries are six months away, but it's declaration time in California's Seattle Grocer Nominee for 1952 Race SEATTLE (P) — A Seattle neighborhood grocer is the nation's first nominee for the 1952 presidential race. Eut, he says modestly from behind his campaign counter, he doesn't expect to get it. The Greenback party announced in Indianapolis yesterday the nomination of Fred C. Proehl of Seattle for the White House. The party platform, in brief, is: "Let's have more of the green stuff." It advocates issuance of greenbacks by the government "directly to the people for services and supplies." Proehl said he was "mildly surprised" at the nomination. His wife started right off Joshing him about what she would wear "when we get to the White House." But we're not fooling ourselves," said Proehl. "We won't make much of a scratch, but we're going to keep on trying to expand. Maybe some day it will be a different story. MORE ABOUT ...

Guild said today he has devoted "more than $1800 of my death benefits" in a constant fort to present to President R. man the viewpoint of one person of a boy who died in the Kof fighting. “This viewpoint,” he said, “think is shared by a great many the parents of the other some 000 who have died in Korea the parents of those who are dying and will continue to do.” The captain, who wrote president Nov. 1 asking why Mr. Truman's failure to raise the Medal of Honor to his son due to his criticism of tactic Korea, said he was “greatly bled and disappointed by my future to reach the ear of the president over the last 11 months.” He added, however, that relieved more and more statements from Key West Washington concerning the award of the Medal of Honor to Mt. Lt. Henry Alfred Commissar the award of a Navy Cross to Captain's son, 25-year-old Mt. Lt. John Guild, who was while fighting at Committee side. "It indicates that the affair at least being handled and that the president is now reeling information which he never before." Primaries Still Six Months Away SACRAMENTO (P)—The primaries are six months away, but it's declaration time in California's fast-developing presidential campaign. Upwards of 300 Republicans voted at Los Angeles last night for what is construed as a move to head off a "Warren for president" state delegation to the party's 1952 national convention. Governor Warren himself will tell the political world tomorrow whether or not he will seek the presidential nomination he tried to snag in 1948. State GOP leaders have urged the third-term governor to run and to let them place a Warren-pledged delegation on the primary ballot next June. Everybody here looks for Warren to say yes. If he does, he may not have to worry about the Los Angeles decision to work for an uninstructed delegation. A quirk in the state election law threatens to upset the rival plans. The anti-Warren action was not unexpected. Sponsors of the meeting had advertised a "surprise announcement." Some sources gathered this might mean trying to pledge California's 70 convention votes to General Douglas MacArthur or Senator Robert A. Taft. However, MacArthur has said repeatedly he has no politicIl ambitions and Taft has rejected the idea of entering the California primaries. Whether they were approached by the Republican group is not known. Mrs. Jessie Woods Dies in her Home Mrs. Jessie L. Woods died at her home, 121 N.

Charles Wirbin, fire chief in Utah's Davis county, drove an ambulance to the scene. "Parts of legs and arms were lying around. They had to jack up a freight car to get the body of one man," he reported. A F. Denham of Detroit was riding with his wife in a compartment of the City of San Francisco. Denham's wife suffered a bruised leg. Denham, not hurt, said, "There was not a lot of screaming. It was rather quiet for such a terrible wreck."

Area Overloaded With High Brass WASHINGTON (P) — The Senate Preparedness subcommittee complained today that the Washington area is overloaded with "upper brass"—high ranking military officers—and armed forces civilian employes. "It is obvious that the defense establishment is tending toward an administrative top-heaviness that is inefficient, wasteful and dangerous, the armed services group said in a report. "Unless the trend is halted now we could, in the classic phrase, wind up with the fighting forces composed of 'all chiefs and no Indians.'" The report said there are now almost as many generals, admirals and defense establishment civilians stationed at the Pentagon and in the general Washington area as there were during World War II peak strength when the armed forces were three and a half times their present size. In an accompanying letter to Secretary of Defense Lovett, Chairman Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex.) called the situation startling and asked for recommendations to remedy it. There was no immediate comment from the Pentagon. WASHINGTON (P) — The Supreme Court meets at noon (EST) today in an opinion day session postponed this week from the customary Monday meeting because of the Armistice Day holiday. End of Line in RFC Investigation WASHINGTON (P) — A grand jury was authorizing described today as nearing the end of its long investigation into Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), big government agency.

The panel has the option (A) returning indictment declining to indict, or (C) progress report to serve basis of further investigation or a successor grand jury. The special panel was on March 12 after a Senate subcommittee headed by Fulbright (D-Ark.) reported the RFC in some cases had improperly to an "ring" with contacts in the House. President Truman described subcommittee's report as a positive development. Parent Spends Money for Dead Son's Benefit LENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. Retired army captain Eugene build said today he has devoted more than $1800 of my son's benefits" in a constant effort to present to President Truman the viewpoint of one parent boy who died in the Korean war. This viewpoint," he said. "I is shared by a great many of parents of the other some 20,-who have died in Korea and parents of those who are still standing and will continue to die." The captain, who wrote the president Nov. 1 asking whether Truman's failure to award Medal of Honor to his son was due to his criticism of tactics in area, said he was "greatly troubled and disappointed by my failure to reach the ear of the president over the last 11 months." He added, however, that "I am weeded more and more by the statements from Key West and Washington" concerning the award the Medal of Honor to Marine Henry Alfred Commiskey and award of a Navy Cross to the captain's son, 25-year-old Marine John Gulid, who was killed in fighting at Commiskey's home. It indicates that the affair is least being handled and also that the president is now receiving information which he never got more." Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN E. NEUBADER When my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.—Psa. 61:2. CALIFORNIANA—On Nov. 12, 1829, soldiers rebelled against Mexican rule in California. With Joaquin Solls as their leader, the disaffected soldiers captured Monterey. San Juan, Santa Clara, San Jose and San Francisco joined the rebellion. Later San Miguel and Santa Inez joined. After an unsuccessful attack at Santa Barbara, Jan. 15, 1830, Solls fled. The revolt was quelled when forces of Gov. Jose Marla de Echeandia recaptured Monterey, Jan. 20, 1830. DEVELOPMENT—In 1880 the Abbott Brothers moved to California from Iowa. They settled near Tustin. Edward J. Abbott was an adventurer. He taken a trip to Europe and North Africa where he sealed the Cheops Pyramid to write a letter to his brothers. It was on his hiking trip through the continent that he became interested in conchology. His restless spirit drove him to the Hawaiian Islands where he collected 10 barrels of choice. Eisenhower's Past Refusal to Become Presidential Candidate Now in Beverly WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower's past refusal to become a presidential candidate is getting scholarly attention. Already he has been mentioned in at least one political textbook. In 1948, you will recall, Elsenhower said no. Then, when the talk of his running continued, he said no and I really mean it. Wifred E. Binkley of Ohio Northern University and Malcolm C. Iwoods of Johns Hopkins have written "A Grammar of American Politics." And in it, they comment on Elsenhower and the 1948 campaign. Then, as now, Elsenhower was winning a lot of those elections in the public opinion polls. Not available in-1948 But in January, 1948, Ike said: "I am not available for and could not accept nomination to high political office." Still the Eisenhower talk went on. It persisted up to and during the Republican convention, and seemed to be getting in high gear by the time the Democrats met. Elsenhower spoke up again. This time he said: "No matter under what terms, conditions or promises a proposal Atwood Resident Dies Recently There will be a Recitation of the Holy Rosary in the Hilgenfeld chapel tonight at 8 o'clock for Mrs. Edith Owen, sister Conna E.

Grand Jury Nears End of Line in RFC Investigations WASHINGTON (UP)—A federal grand jury was authoritatively described today as nearing the end of its long investigation of the reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), big government lending agency. An official source who declined to be named told a reporter the grand jury probably will wind up near Tustin. Edward J. Abbott was an adventurer. He taken a trip to Europe and North Africa where he scaled the Cbeops Pyramid to write a letter to his brothers. It was on his hiking trip through the continent that he became interested in conchology. His restless spirit drove him to the Hawaiian Islands where he collected 10 barrels of choice tropical shells. Conchology was not only a hobby, but a business with him. He made frequent trips to Laguna Beach to pick up abalone shells which he polished for the market. His attention was quite naturally directed toward Newport Bay as a fertile field to continue his business. He built himself a shack on the site now occupied by the gas company office. He chose this location because it was near the only source of fresh water on the peninsula. The spring ultimately dissipated itself. PROGRESS—In 1891, Abbott acquired title to the swamp and overflow land. In 1906 the remainder of the peninsula east of the original holdings was acquired from the State. He was an esthetic man, Abbott proceeded to plant the first trees in the Newport Harbor area. The native soil was so poor, that the conchologist buried a Newport Bay shark under each planting. Irrigation was provided by digging a shallow hole near the tree and permitting it to fill with artesian water which was bailed to the nearby plantings. SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE—Prior to 1900, the Newport Bay area was a hunter's and fisherman's paradise. Many pioneer Anaheimers made the long journey to the harbor to hunt. The bay was well-stocked with shell fish and teeming flocks of ducks which lured sportsmen to the bay. On Feb. 17, 1889, Dr. Frank Secher, Orange's pioneer physician, was accidentally shot on one of these hunting trips. He was taken to Abbott's shack and word was sent to Santa Ana. Dr. C. D. Ball hitched up and by the time the Democrats met, Eisenhower spoke up again. This time he said: "No matter under what terms, conditions or promises a proposal Atwood Resident Dies Recently There will be a Recitation of the Holy Rosary in the Hilgenfeld chapel tonight at 8 o'clock for Mary "Nacha" De Los Reyes who died very unexpectedly last Friday morning at the family home, 6551 Taylor st., Atwood. She leaves three daughters, one son and 17 grandchildren all of Atwood. Mass will be read on Wednesday morning at St. Theresa church in Atwood at 9 and burial will follow in Holy Sepulcher cemetery. ANAHEIM WAI FOR BES BUY ...SEL RENT ...LEASE THROUGH GAZETTE WANT — ADS End of Line in RFC Investigations WASHINGTON (P)—A federal grand jury was authoritatively described today as nearing the end of its long investigation of the reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), big government lending agency. An official source who declined to be named told a reporter the grand jury probably will wind up as work "within a few weeks now." He gave no hint as to what it might do. The panel has the options of (A) returning indictments, (B) declining to indict, or (C) filing a progress report to serve as the basis of further investigation by it or a successor grand jury. The special panel was convened March 12 after a Senate banking subcommittee headed by Senator Rubright (D-Ark.) reported that the RFC in some cases had yielded improperly to an "influence ring" with contacts in the White House. President Truman described the subcommittee's report as asinine. Native Texan Dies Suddenly Monday George S. McDonald, 58, a native of Texas who came to Anaheim seven years ago, died suddenly at the Community hospital Monday evening after having been moved from his home at 410 S. Philadelphia st. following a heart attack. He is survived by his wife, Effie F. McDonald; two sons, Delbert F. McDonald of Gold Hills, Ore., and Hubert M. McDonald of Anaheim; one brother, Allen W. McDonald of Paducah. Tex.: one sister; Mrs. Carrie Long of Yuma, The bay was well-stocked with shell fish and teeming flocks of ducks which lured sportsmen to the bay. On Feb. 17, 1889, Dr. Frank Seeber, Orange's pioneer physician, was accidentally shot on one of these hunting trips. He was taken to Abbott's shack and word was sent to Santa Ana. Dr. C. D. Ball hitched up and drove to McFadden's Landing where he was rowed across the bay in a skiff. When he arrived, his patient was dead. ABBOTT'S FOLLY—Although he was no seafaring man, Abbott loved the sea. He decided to build a small steamboat which he intended to use in taking excursion parties to sea. The government refused to license the vessel. Abbott loaded his ship on a flat car and had it taken to Lake Elsinore. He strained himself so much in the operation that injuries sustained led to his death. The conchologist, however, made himself a place in history. He saw possibilities of Orange county's playground. He was Orange county's first shipbuilder, even though his vessel wasn't licensed to navigate the waters of Newport Bay. POSTSCRIPT — Orange county pioneers were farsighted; many of them achieved success because Orange county—then as now—is a land of limitless opportunity. Ariz.; seven grandchildren and seven stepsons. Funeral arrangements have not been completed and will be announced later by the Hilgenfeld mortuary. Refusal to Become Rate Now in Book might be couched, I would refuse the nomination." Similar Refusal in 1884 The only other similar refusal the professors mention in the med reply by another West point man who also was a military hero. In 1884 Gen. William Tecumsh Sherman said: "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected." The writers observe: "It infrequently happens in american politics that any person who has been prominently mentioned for the presidential nomination has an overwhelming desire to avoid that honor being rested upon him." In other words, some candidates may be coy, but nearly all of them are willing. So far Eisenhower hasn't been positive as he was in 1948. Obviously his backers hope that, even though Ike's refusal made political history, he now may be willing. Car Out of Control Hits Wires, Injures Driver in Back Mrs. Edith Owen, sister of Mrs. Conna E. Pollack, 8042 Starr st., who moved here recently from Kalamazoo, Mich., was on her way to work at the Los Alamitos Sanatorium from another sister's home, Mrs. Sade Kiefer of 6229 Passaic, Huntington Beach, Saturday morning when shortly before 7:30 Iran Receives Credit from Monetary Fund WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran, almost bankrupt in a dispute with Great Britain over its rich oil reserves, received as $8,750,000 emergency credit today from the International Monetary fund. The fund announced it would exchange that amount in dollars for Iranian rials at the rate of 32.25 rials per dollar. Iran can spend the dollars now to bolster its tottering economy and return them to the fund when it weathers its financial crisis. The fund's action gives Iran at least a temporary breathing spell in the economic crisis arising from its dispute with Great Britain over the Iranian government's move to take over oil properties formerly held by England. A fund spokesman, talking to reporters, said fund directors unanimously approved the exchange of rials for dollars on the assumption that the oil dispute eventually will be settled and Iran's economic stability will be restored. There appears to be no prospect, however, for an early solution to the differences between Iran and Britain. Iranian Premier Mohammed Mossadegh arranged a final day of conferences with American mediators, but there was no sign of yielding on either side. Rise in Haircut Prices Reflected DETROIT (UP)—A rumored rise in haircut costs—from $1.25 to $1.50—has virtually cleaned Detroit stores of home-style hair clippers. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but one store also reported a shortage of head-size butter crocks. MORE ABOUT... Plane Crash Continued from Page 4 hours later. Youths Watch Collision Richard Cook and John Dudley of Stanton, teen-aged eyewitnesses, said they saw the planes strike in mid-air. They said they saw a blade of the Cessna's propeller fall to the ground and then the plane began a flat, spinning fall to earth. The Navy plane continued north and west from Stanton, doing wing-overs according to one witness, seemed to straighten out and then plummeted to earth, digging itself about four feet into the plowed orchard. A three-foot piece of the FOF's horizontal stabilizer was found near the Stanton Community church. Navy officials from Los Alamitos said a dent in the tail section may have been caused by the mid-air collision. Pilot's Remains Recovered Navy firemen worked for more than three hours to extinguish the flames in the fighter's wreckage. At about 5 p.m. the charred remains of the pilot were recovered. Mrs. Edith Owen, sister of Mrs. Donna E. Pollack, 8042 Starr st., who moved here recently from Galamazoo, Mich., was on her way to work at the Los Alamigos Sanatorium from another sister's home.

She was given first aid at the Los Amigos hospital. In Downey and is now in the Los Angeles General hospital on the critical list. One of her most serious injuries is a broken back. Her car was demolished.
