Atrocity Killings in Korea May Cause Repercussions in Talks and on Field Atrocity Killings in Korea May Cause Repercussions in Talks and on Field Riverside Man Held Here in Bribery Case Brought to Orange county jail for safe keeping as an important prosecution witness in a Riverside Sheriff's office scandal involving alleged bribery of officers by bookies, according to reports here, Willard E. Parma, 41, former deputy sheriff at Riverside, was held under $50,000 bail. Parma himself is under grand jury indictment on 14 felony counts charging acceptance of bribes unofficially understood to aggregate about $4500. Local officials said they understood Riverside authorities feared for Parma's safety because he has informed against other officers in that county in a wholesale bribery scandal. Parma was released from his position as deputy sheriff in Riverside county about a year ago, it is said, and was later employed as a guard in San Diego. Local Elks Given Places on State Assn.

NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZET NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1951 Huntington Beach Offers to Withdraw Blockade of Bacon Plan for Sewer System With newspaper publishers, Chamber of Commerce officials, and others looking on yesterday, the County Sanitation district boards proceeded harmoniously to accept the offer of District 11 (Huntington Beach) to withdraw its blockade of the sewerage program if certain changes are made in the agreement to purchase the present Joint Outfall Sewer system. The proposed revision, covering three points which District 11 presented through its chairman, Jaycees to Provide Free Transportation For Blood Donors Bob Heinze, blood donor recruiter for the visit of the Bloodmobile here tomorrow, said today that Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce will make transportation available to any donors who have no way of getting to the blood unit at the Ebell club, Helena and Cypress sta. The Bloodmobile will be at the Ebell club from 2 to 7 p.m. tomorrow, and Heinze said anyone desiring transportation has only to call him at Anaheim 4012, and a car will be sent out. Willis Warner, will be submitted to the bond attorney's O'Melveny and Myers, Los Angeles, in conference with Attorney Harry Ashton, representing District 11. If the revised agreement is approved by the attorneys it will come before an adjourned meeting of the sanitation districts next Wednesday evening for adoption. Approval Predicted After that, it must win approval from the eight JOS cities and sanitary districts before the way will be cleared for sale of the $8,308,000 bond issue voted more than 2½ years ago. Probable JOS approval of the agreement "In the interest of harmony" was indicated last evening by JOS directors who were present. In fact, these directors and some directors of the sanitation districts said privately that they regarded the changes as insignificant and pointless. They expressed surprise that such a reason should be advanced by District 11 as explanation of its refusal to approve the original Bacon sewerage plan on which the bonds were voted, after all other districts had agreed to that plan.

George Wilson, Clarksburg, was elected president of the state federation. Louis Rozzoni, of San Joaquin county, was chosen vice-president and Roy McIain, citrus grower of Visalia, was chosen second vice-president. President Wilson is well known in Orange county where he has been a speaker on several occasions, as is Louis Rozzoni. Roy McIain is well known as an officer of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. On the strength of having 122 registered in attendance at the convention, Orange County Farm Bureau received a cup for the largest delegation. Also, Garden Grove Farm Center won the award for being the largest in the state for the seventh consecutive year. Anaheim center held it in 1944, the last year before Garden Grove started its string.

Taft Foresees U.S. to Give More Divisions WASHINGTON (UP) — Senator Taft (R-Ohio) foresees a likelihood that the United States may be asked to commit "far more than six divisions" to the defense of western Europe. The Ohio Senator said in a new book, "A Foreign Policy for Americans" that the past history of the Truman administration's handling of foreign policies makes it likely that "in another year we will be asked for more divisions" to supplement the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces headed by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. As a candidate for the 1952 Republican presidential nomination, Taft wrote down a barrage of criticism against President Truman, Secretary of State Acheson, Gen. George C. Marshall and other administration figures. Taft said most presidents "have been imbued with a real determination to keep the country at peace." But he went on in a direct attack on Mr. Truman and President Franklin D. Roosevelt; The Weather S. Calif.—Scattered high clouds northern interior, otherwise mostly clear Friday.

Withdrawal for Sewerage OCWD to Protest Water Action by San Bernardino Orange County Water district is preparing to protest action of the San Bernardino County Flood Control district in filing with the State Division of Natural Resources to appropriate waters of San Antonio creek on behalf of Ontario, Upland, Chino and surrounding agricultural districts. Although the water district board lacked a quorum at yesterday's scheduled session, a special meeting may be called shortly by President Jack W. Crill of Garden Grove to prepare the protest against the San Bernardino county application. Waters of San Antonio creek are tributary to the Santa Ana river watershed and, therefore, orange county has an interest in that stream, Engineer Paul Bailey said yesterday. The San Bernardino County flood Control district exceeds its rights in applying for water to benefit just a portion of its territory, Bailey said, in addition to respassing on Orange county's rights. Sixteen applications for water appropriations have been filed, it understood, but only six are before the state body now Bailey.

All aboard were dead. American and French rescuers begin bringing the battered burned bodies of the 36 passengers and crewmen—all U.S. military personnel—down the side of the mountain where the twin-engined flying box car crashed Tuesday. Rescue teams who fought their way up the snow and ice encrusted slope 250 miles south of Paris said most of the fire-scarred bodies were battered to bits by the crash. The plane itself appeared to be in one piece, with only small bits of wreckage scattered over an area of some 80 square yards. Its two engines had burnied themselves into the snow-crusted soil and the fuselage apparently had burst open. Half the twin tail assembly was burned, but the other part was intact. A team of French soldiers first sighted the wreckage just after dawn. They had treked afoot and on skis all night, through a three-foot snow layer, to reach the crash scene. Later they were joined by 10 U.S. Air Force rescue workers. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 73. High for the previous 24 hours was 68 at 2:30 p.m.yesterday. Low was 50 a: 6 a.m. today
