Man Jailed After Hobo Jungle Fight Two elderly residents of a hobo jungle in the Santa Ana river near the county hospital battled with clubs in a fight that was finally punctuated with gunfire late yesterday, landing John Bernard Willnitz, 64, retired plumber, in the county hospital with a leg wound, and Frank Stuckenberg, 62, painter, in the county jail, booked for attempted murder. After he had been beaten to earth in the duel with clubs at 4:30 p.m., Stuckenberg was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries. According to a report at the Sheriff's office, he returned to the jungle camp at 6:30 p.m., still nursing his anger at Willnitz. He seized a .22 caliber rifle from his shack and advanced upon the Willnitz cabin. He began pumping bullets into the filmsy structure while Willnitz cowered inside. Only one of the 11 shots he fired into the shack found its mark, wounding Willnitz in the right thigh. Deputy sheriffs found Stuckenberg locked in his own cabin where he refused to surrender, they said. Officers finally kicked in the door to take him. He made no move to use the reloaded rifle that stood near him, they said. His only comment, according to officers, was: "Too bad I didn't kill him." Willnitz's wound was not serious, officers said. Anaheimers Escape Hurts in Accidents Two Anaheim residents escaped injury in two separate automobile collisions at the same time and the same place in Santa Ana, yesterday afternoon.

"We can hope for a stalemate during the winter with perhaps an armistice by spring . . . although we won't get world peace from the talks," the speaker said. Lieutenant Lyon was introduced by Claude Russell. Dick Gay presided. John L.

(UP)—State police reported a "big-inch" pipe line exploded in this small western Pennsylvania mining community today with such force that the blast was heard 10 miles. First reports said a score of men were working on a pumping station being erected on the site. Fire companies from six communities hurried to the scene. Flames were so intense it was impossible to get within 500 feet. Bethelboro is located four miles north of Uniontown and about 35 miles from Pittsburgh. The pipe line carries natural gas from fields in Texas and Louisiana to terminals in New York and New Jersey. It is operated by the Texas Eastern Transmission company. The line was used during World War II to transport oil and gasoline to the eastern coast. DAYTON, O. (UP)—A 48-year-old grandmother was sentenced to nine years in a women's reformatory yesterday for embezzling $12,047 from the Wright Field credit union where she worked.

Stephens of "big steel" leaders of the negotiating teams, both declined to talk to reporters before the momentous session started.

United Nations delegates insisted on: 1. Joint Allied-communist inspection teams with "free access to all parts of Korea." 2. Provision against military buildups by either side. Neither point was included in a plan proposed by the reds, who have never permitted outsiders in communist Korea. The differences developed in a session described by the top Allied negotiator as "short and sweet." The full five-man negotiating teams—all in full dress except for two drably clad Chinese Generals—approved a cease-fire line agreement opening the way for an armistice within 30 days. Then they plunged into the next truce question. That is supervision of an armistice. Each presented its own ideas. The two plans were in general agreement on four points: (1) Shooting to stop when an armistice is signed, (2) A joint commission to supervise the truce, (3) All forces to withdraw from the buffer zone and enemy terri- The arrest was ordered by Communist President Klement Gottwald at the suggestion of Premier Antonin Zapotocky, the announcement said because "institutions into activities of subversive groups" brought out facts that convict Slansky. Slansky was removed from his office as secretary-general of the Czechoslovak communist party in September in a move tied to western observers to Moscowers to the Czech communists tighten their ranks against insiders of "Titoism." The announcement at that time Id Slansky would get "another important state post," but did say what the post was to be. Truman Keeps His Antimates Puzzled KEY WEST, Fla. (P)—President Truman kept even his initiatives puzzled today over whether he will seek re-election. His Press Secretary, Joseph Port, voiced officially what other White House alces have said off the record: Your guess is as good as mine." Nobody, even those who insist Mr. Truman wants to throw Democratic nomination to def Justice Fred M. Vinson of United States Supreme Court professed to know whether Mr. Truman would accept it or neither he could win the nomination for the noted jurist. The president, who says he can't reveal his intentions for 22 until after he submits his three major messages to Congress January, seems satisfied to keep everyone guessing. Rain Scheduled For Week-End LOS ANGELES (P) — The weather bureau took a long look at its charts today and came up with a prediction of rain for the week end. It could be unhappy news for some 80,000 football fans planning to watch Southern California and Notre Dame play football Saturday. The forecasters said a whopper of a storm is building up in the Gulf of Alaska. They're also watching a tropical hurricane off the Mexican coast, but said there's no indication yet that it will reach as far north as the States. Its present position is about 280 miles southwest of Acapulco, with its direction apparently northwest. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 71. High for the previous 24 hours was 70 at 3 p.m. yesterday. Low was 46 at 6 a.m. today. Ferguson vs. Taft In Heated Tax-Subsidies Clash WASHINGTON (P)—Joseph T. Ferguson, contending business tax "subsidies" put $1,200,000 behind the 1950 campaign to reject Senator Taft (R-Ohio), clashed sharply today with Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-Me). She accused him of making statements you can't back up." In the witness chair of a Senate elections subcommittee, Ferguson flared back: "I didn't hear you question Senator Taft yesterday about some of his statements." Mrs. Smith: "Yesterday was yesterday and today I am asking the questions." Ferguson, Ohio state auditor and unsuccessful Democratic candidate against Taft last year, had scoffed at Taft's contention that $2,000,000 was spent on Ferguson's behalf. Using the same approach by which Taft got the $2,000,000 figure, Ferguson said, the Taft campaign cost could be figured at $100,000,000. Actually, Ferguson contended, his own campaign expenses were $107,004. He estimated Taft's at $5,000,000. Taft had figured that $600,000 to $700,000 was spent in his behalf. The elections subcommittee is looking into charges from both sides of excessive expenditures.
