Completion of the county-wide committee being organized to study the water salvage program in Prado basin was announced today by its sponsor, the Orange County Farm Bureau. At the same time it was disclosed that the committee soon will have before it the first reports of observations made by up-river water interests who are seeking to determine whether the project will damage their water supply. Makeup of the Prado basin committee includes Engineer M. N. Thompson of the Santa Ana River Development Co., representing Anaheim Union Water Co.; George Veeh, of El Toro, representing the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co.; C. Roy Browning, Tustin, representing the Orange County Water District; Chairman Willis H. Warner of the County Supervisors, representing the county and Ross Coastline Erosion Study Continued Supervisor Heinz Kaiser of Costa Mesa has been designated by the Board of Supervisors to represent the county on a committee sponsored by the Orange County Coast Assn. to continue studies of erosion along the county's 42 miles of coastline. Other members of the committee are Mayor Frank Shufelt of Seal Beach, Mayor Henry T. Read of San Clemente, Harry LeBard, of Huntington Beach, Ralph P. Maskey of Newport Beach, and C. G. Kimble of Laguna Beach. Shafer of Tustin, representing the Farm Bureau. A. J. Bosch of Orange is alternate for the SAVI Co., and President Jack W. Crill of Garden Grove is alternate for the water district. Methods of procedure with the salvage program, which is expected to rescue between 8000 and 12,000 acres feet of water now wasted through evaporation and transpiration; also an agreement on distribution of the program's cost, are objectives of the committee, it is said. The county, which has already built the pipeline under Prado Dam to receive drainage from the basin and carry it to the river channel below for spreading is said to contend that other agencies who may be directly benefited by the program should help with financing the salvage facilities still to be constructed. The county proposes a $500,000 system of lateral lines, hooking up with the pipeline already built at a cost of $300,000. President Jack W. Crill and Secretary W. D. Miller of the water district will attend a meeting at Corona city hall Wednesday called by the tri-county committee which worked out an agreement designed to protect the upriver interests if the Prado project should lower their water levels. These interests have drilled test wells in the basin and first reports of their observations are scheduled to be presented at the Corona meeting. Check-Jumping Diners Escape Red-Handed Five young men walked for the Main cafe at Chestnut Main sts., Santa Ana, Sunday evening and ordered up. One had a turkey dinner, another a h dinner, a third had steak. Other two contented themselves with hamburger sandwiches, milk and soup. They ate heartily until plates were level again, then back and patted their stomach with a satisfied sigh. Waittore Charlene Martin beamed at the sign of appreciation. Three of the diners then left their booth and walked out to adjacent side door. Miss Married over and handed the cheek to the two remaining guests. They picked it up, tossed it down, and—whoosh! Out the door they ran, and five fled to the next block, hurriedly piled into a small black sedan, and disappeared north Sycamore st. Miss Martin was holding the check. Describing them later to polls she recalled that one had bloomed hands. "Hah!" deducted the office "the steak was rare, huh?" ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1951 e on Exact Location of cross Korean Battlefield Only Signatures of Staff Needed To Complete Settlement of Item MUNSAN, Korea (AP)—Allied and communist staff officers tonight agreed on the exact location of a 145-mile line across Korea where the shooting will stop if an armistice is signed within 30 days.

The General Assembly, he said, "should not abandon its efforts in this field. We should leave no stone unturned." In the first American answer to Vishinsky's major policy address last Saturday, Jessup went on to stress the importance the western powers put on a "foolproof" system of verifying arms disclosures made by the powers. He insisted that under the Soviet plan the world would just have to take the word of various countries that they were disarming. At the beginning of his speech, Jessup took note of Vishinsky's remark last week in which he accused Secretary of State Dean Acheson of hurrying off to the NATO meeting in Rome and leaving behind a "second rate representative." Jessup said he hoped Vishinsky would have the patience to listen to "one to whom he referred with his customary courtesy as a second-rate representative." City Employees Choose Health Insurance Plan Anaheim City employees last Friday discussed the merits of various health and accident insurance policies in the Council Chamber and decided in favor of the Blue Shield plan presented by California Physician's service. Previously the employees were covered by a combination plan involving both the CPS and Blue Cross. However, rates were raised so alternate plans are being sought. Under the CPS plan the city will pay for employees' insurance, but the employees may bring their families under the coverage at their own expense. A plan presented by Hardware Mutual Insurance Co., was also able to continue discussion of disarmament without prior agreement among the Big Four. The subcommittees will meet in Panmunjom tomorrow at 10 a.m. (8 p.m. EST Monday) to approve the proposal. The full five-man armistice delegations will open a plenary session one hour later. Formal adoption of the buffer zone clause is expected to be a mere formality. Then in a race against the 30-day deadline and while the fighting goes on, the negotiators will work on three other points that must be agreed on before a full armistice can be signed. The staff officers pinpointed the last sector of the cease-fire line at 6:30 p.m. (4:30 a.m. EST) after a marathon session lasting almost 7½ hours. The official U.N. command communique said minor differences cropped up after the officers reached general agreement on the line or battle contact. All were ironed out and the line was drawn on two sets of maps which both sides initialed. Local Girl Awarded Nat'l Rifle Medal WASHINGTON, D.C.

Taft Charges 'Sinister Conspiracy Was Directed from the White House WASHINGTON (P) — Senator Taft (R-Ohio), denounced as "completely false" today an assertion by President Truman that "special interests" poured money into Ohio to re-elect Taft to the Senate in 1950. Taft said his opponents spent $3 for every dollar laid out in his behalf. Lashing back at Mr. Truman at a Senate hearing, Taft said the campaign against him had the character of a "sinister conspiracy" and that "much of the activity was directed right from the White House." He was subjected to "the most vitriolic attack probably ever conducted against any candidate," Taft declared, saying it had "a peculiar communist undertone" and used "literature which should bring shame to the faces of those who devised it." Taft was the lead-off witness at public hearings by a Senate elec-tions subcommittee on the Ohio campaign. In the elec-Taft defeated Joseph T. Fergus Democratic nominee for the state, by 430,000 votes. Ex-U.S. Attorney Fears for Life WASHINGTON (P)—T. L.

Eisenhower sternly warned Atlantic Pact commanders today to stop haggling over command appointments, forget individual national glory and "attempt the impossible" in building true westward security against aggression by pooling their sovereignty. He declared that unless Europe's defense line is built stronger east of the Rhine, there will be peace without fear. This was interpreted as a definite reference to inclusion of German forces in the Atlantic Pact army. The Atlantic Pact supreme commander addressed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization chiefs of staff in advance an appearance before the 12-hour NATO council. As he spoke, qualified sources reported that Britain again had ordered down a proposal to set up an American-led North Atlantic naval command at once. Britain is committed, on paper, to accepting an American admiral as head of the North Atlantic command, but apparently the British action deferred until a Britain put in charge of the project-Middle East command. Two County Men Listed as Dead Two Orange county men were dead in 29th death list for South California released by the Defense Department since the beginning of the Korean war. WOODSTOCK, Ala., Nov. 26—TRAIN CRASH VICTIM REMOVED—Workers who cut through the sides of a crushed car lift out an unidentified victim of the collision of two New York-New Orleans streamliners killed 18 and injured 60 yesterday, and additional victims were hunted in the wreckage today. The silvery northbound Southerner pulled from a siding here into the path of the onrushing southbound Crescent. The sledgehammer crash turned the first car of the Southerner into a giant coffin. The trains met on a high railroad trestle 29 miles southwest of Birmingham. The Crescent was using the southern tracks because a bridge was out on the Louisville and Nashville lines near New Orleans, 320 miles away. The Southerner had stopped after pulling out from the siding. The Crescent rounded a curve and roared into it. "We were slammed back 80 feet," said George Newton Seminole. Two County Men Listed as Dead Two Orange county men were widely reported killed in 29th death list for SouthCalifornia released by the Defense Department since the bening of the Korean war. Reported killed are Pfc. Robert Amezcua, son of Robert A. Amezcua, 1506 W. 3rd st., Santa ta, and Pvt. Adolfo Monteberde, of Bartolo Monteberde, Platia Mutual Camp, Placentia. Truman to Make Inquiry into Atrocity Charge KEY WEST, Fla. (P)—Confidants said today President Truman is making a thorough inquiry into the handling of the Korean atrocity charges. An atmosphere of official silence, however, enveloped his investigation. And the same official silence covered his study of: 1. The alleged shooting down of an American bomber by Russian fighter planes. 2. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky's rejection of the American-French-British disarmament proposal. 3. A House committee's demand for Justice Department files on tax fraud prosecutions for its inquiry into Internal Revenue scandals. Presidential Secretary Joseph Short refused to comment on any of these developments, but other White House aides, unquotable by name, said the president is reserving a statement on the atrocity charges until he has all the facts at his command. In his only public comment on the atrocity charges, the president termed the charges horrible and said if true it was the most un-civilized thing that has happened in the past century. Normally the Crescent operates over the Southern to Atlanta, over the West Point route to Montgomery, Ala., and thence to New Orleans via the L & N. All of the known dead were on the Southerner, most of them in the first car, which was smashed like an eggshell. Trainmen said P. J. Powers, Birmingham, engineer of the northbound train, was killed and his body caught in the wreckage. It had not been recovered. Capricious Kid Caught by Cops Mrs. Louise V. Gongora, 116 S. Bush st., was the unwilling victim of her son's caprices this morning. Eight year old Tommy locked his mother in a room, took her billfold containing $7 and bought a bus ticket to Fullerton. She escaped in time to call the bus depot and the Fullerton police. When Tommy arrived in Fullerton he was taken off the bus and the Fullerton police department returned him to a very irritated mother.
