Rotarians to Get Hornet Serenade Health Officer's To Investigate JOS Line Breaks State Health department officials are expected in Anaheim Wednesday to investigate last week's break in the JOS outfall line near the mouth of the Santa Ana river, where three breaks in the line let 15,000,000 gallons per day of raw sewage flow into the Santa Ana river bed and into tidewater at the mouth of the river. While County Health Officer Dr. Edward Lee Russell placed a quarantine along the beach on both sides of the outfall line. E. A. Reinke, chief of the Division of Sanitary Engineering in the State Health department, and Jud Harmon, senior sanitary engineer, announced that they would come to Orange county from Sacramento Wednesday to investigate the release of the raw sewage into the river bed without a permit from the Health department. The breaks in the outfall line were repaired and the line restored to use Saturday. Meanwhile, the Health department continued the quarantine, which would be lifted when tests of the water showed that contamination no longer existed.

The four—U.S. delegate Philip C. Jessup, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky, British Minister of State Selwyn Lloyd and French delegate Jules Moch—opened talks Saturday at a cordial hour procedural meeting which swiftly agreed on an agenda. United Nations General Assembly President Luis Padilla Nerro of Mexico is chairman of the group, set up as a sub-committee of the assembly political committee. It was proposed by an Asian Arab group in the hope that the secret negotiations—away from the publicity of the assembly microphones—would reconcile rival plans which so far have spired chiefly acrimonious public debate. None of the delegates would speak to reporters on arrival this morning for the private session. The political committee has erected the five-man sub-committee to report back by Dec. 10 and progress it may make.

The move appeared to be a jor concession on the part of reds. In the past they have re ed adamantly to allow observ behind their lines and have sisted on the right to bulld their armed strength while armistice is in force.

The big one—an Allied sp man called it the $64 question U.S. to Take Quick Action to Free Air Crew in Hungary WASHINGTON (UP)—The State department said today the United States will take "immediate action" to free the four-man crew and an American army plane reported forced down in communist Hungary. The department at the same time rejected a Moscow charge that the plane was carrying equipment to help anti-communist "spies and saboteurs" behind the iron curtain. The blankets, parachutes, maps and portable radio on the plane were described as standard emergency equipment. The C-47 cargo plane with its crew of four disappeared Nov. 19 on a flight from Munich to Belgrade. Yugoslavia, A Tass agency dispatch said yesterday Soviet fighter planes forced the U.S. craft to land at a Hungarian air field several days ago. Officials here assumed this was true as a long search in Yugoslavia had failed to disclose any trace of the plane. However, the state department said today it is still without any confirmation from the Hungarian government although repeated requests for information have been made to Hungary by the American Charge De Affaires in Budapest, George Abbott. BUDAPEST, Hungary — Hungary's government confirmed today that a U.S. Air Force transport plane, missing for two weeks with four crewmen aboard, is in this country. The confirmation was given the U.S. legislation here by the Hungarian foreign ministry, a legal spokesman said. (A report by the Soviet news agency Tass, published in Moscow, said the plane had been forced down on Hungarian territory by Soviet fighter planes and the four crewmen had been turned over to Hungarian authorities.) Optimist Auction Termed Success As Boys' Center Gets $2000 Boost It's all over. The two night Optimist Auction Sale came to a successful close Friday night when practically every item of consequence was sold out to the bare walls. Morning saw the Optimist mop-up crew cleaning up the Tex Middleton donated showrooms that once again DeSoto and Plymouth cars could be displayed there. "We went over the top," jubilantly announced Optimist president Harwood Larson. "Although final expenses have not been tallied, the clubhouse fund will receive a boost of approximately $2000. Our next push will be on the Boys clubhouse building itself. The big job of plastering is expected to get started inside the week." Auction Crowded Icy-Cool Bandit Robs Safeway o $1500 to $2000 Safeway store at 1725 N. St., Santa Ana, was robbed of tween $1500 and $2000 shortly before closing time Sunday even when a tall bespectacled bar neatly dressed, walked into market and forced employee hand him the contents of the cash register. He appeared about ten minutes before the 6 p.m. closing l and filled a carrier cart with ceries while waiting for the s to empty of customers. They walked up to Cashier Violet son and said, "Okay, kid, this stick-up," in a well-modul voice. Skeptical Cashier As she stared at him, he tured toward the cash register with his hand, covered by a p sack, apparently holding a cealed gun. But the plucky had to be convinced. If he w AP Writer Zusy Told to Leave CAIRO (UP)—The interior ministry today cancelled the Egyptian residence visa of Fred Zusy, Associated Press chief of bureau in Cairo. Cairo press reports charged him with "bad faith" in his news reports. An official of the ministry's passport division told Zusy that he must leave Egypt on or before Friday by order of interior minister Fouad Serag El Din. The official declined to explain whether the order was prompted by reports Zusy had written. It was the first official notice to the American of the expulsion order—news of which was carried in Cairo's press today. These reports were confirmed last night by Abdel Basit Al Haggagi, director of the press department of the interior ministry, who said Zusy's expulsion was ordered because of "bad faith" in his reporting. He said Zusy had been warned "several times" that his work was "aimed at harming the interests of Egypt."

Dr. Emma Wharton of the County Health department staff, said a post-mortem examination disclosed no other apparent cause of death whereas preliminary tests had indicated polio. However, a positive diagnosis is being withheld until laboratory tests have been completed. A suspected new polio case was reported today, the patient being a 9-year-old Costa Mesa girl, who has been ill for two weeks. Skeptical Cashier As she stared at him, he tured toward the cash register with his hand, covered by a paper sack, apparently holding a cealed gun. But the plucky hand had to be convinced. If he w bandit, she wanted to see his dentials. "How do I know you have gun?" she demanded. He pulled the revolver enough from the sack for her see it. She then went to the register and emptied the conti into a paper sack. Meanwhile the bandit ordered the proclerk, Claude Burke, to open safe, omit checks but bring in the currency and change. But tried to conceal the Saturday posit in the safe, but the back of the rimless spectacles were too sharp. "Bring it here," the bandit dered. Nervy Bandit The safe money was poured into the paper bag with the register contents and the bag walked out, calm and unhurt after warning the employees to leave the store for five minutes. He crossed the street parking lot and walked east. He was described as six tall, weighing about 150 pounds with "dishwater blond" hair, we eyebrows and eyelashes, and ru complexion. He wore a brown suit with darker bristle, medium brown felt and brown oxford. CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY The Weather S.

Reds Allow Behind-the-Lines Check As They Lose in Air, Gain Islands Propose Complete Freeze on Troops UNSAN, Korea (P)—Committee negotiators today probed behind-the-lines inspection of neutral observers and a "comprehensive freeze" on troops and arms stores, possibly paving the way for agreement on another step toward an armistice. The move appeared to be a major concession on the part of the United States. In the past they have refused adamantly to allow observers and their lines and have insisted on the right to build up armed strength while an justice is in force. The surprise compromise plan mediated drew from Allied enmity more than a score of search questions. The big one—an Allied spokesperson called it the $64 question— Amphibious Forces Capture Islands WASHINGTON (P)—A Chinese amphibious force drove South Korean guerrillas off an island near the Yalu river mouth Friday in the face of opposition by three British ships and planes from a U.S. carrier. (The North Korean radio, in a broadcast heard in Tokyo asserted red troops had recaptured three Allied-held islands—Taewha, Sowha and Tol—killing more than 500 Allied soldiers.) The Navy, reporting the loss of Taewha island today, tied the action to the previously announced destruction of 10 red planes, including six bombers, by U.S. Air Force Sabre jets. The Navy said about 1000 Chinese took part in the overwater battle. Outnumbered Jets Score Air Victory SEOUL, Korea (P)—American Sabre jets, outnumbered four to one, scored a sweeping victory Sunday in the mounting battle for aerial supremacy over Korea. The Far East Air Forces reported five red MIG jets were shot down and three damaged without loss of any Sabres. The calm along the Korean ground front remained unbroken Monday. The Eighth Army reported no significant action up to noon. There were a few light contacts on the central and eastern fronts. A low cloud blanket cut down aerial strikes after Sunday's jet victory. Forty-seven F-86 Sabre jets took on 175 MIGS in that battle be- B-29 Crashes Into Swank Denver Area DENVER (AP)—A B-29 bomber smashed into a row of swank Denver homes today and first reports said that nine persons aboard the plane were killed and two babies were believed trapped in one of the burning houses. The information came from Police Capt. James E. Childers, who was one of the officers directing rescue operations. "I can't vouch for the reports," he told newsmen. Childers said he was informed the plane carried a crew of 14 persons and that five had been saved from the flames. Four houses were set on fire. An eyewitness, Mrs. S. G. Brooks, said the plane appeared to hit the treetops and explode, shooting flames high into the air. The accident occurred near Eudora and Bayaud streets in a new residential district made up of mondernistic and ranch type homes. WASHINGTON (AP)—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower says he is "flattered" to learn he is regarded by many House members as presidential timber. But, in a letter to Rep. Cole (R-NY), he gave no indication whether he will be available. The New York Congressman recently took a poll of House Republicans which gave Senator Taft (R-Ohio) 71 votes and Eisenhower 54 in the first choices for the presidential nomination. He sent the results to Eisenhower. In releasing the poll, Cole said he could "easily understand Eisenhower's position," and he added: "His entire effort is toward the effective organization of the North Atlantic treaty armies and resistance to further communistic aggression and I sincerely believe that he gives little if any thought to politics and the coming nomination. This is his job and his duty at the present time and he Truman Signs Fair Employment Practice Order KEY WEST, Fla. (AP)—President Truman today signed a fair employment practice order apply to government contracts. The order is designed to prevent discrimination against negroes and other minority groups in hiring employees to carry out government contracts. It creates a new committee on government contract compliance to work with the Department of Defense and other agencies. The aim is to insure compliance with clauses already existing prohibiting job discriminations because of "race, creed, color or national origin." The committee, to be named soon, will handle generally many of the same problems involving alleged discrimination against minority groups as were handled during the second World War by the controversial Fair Employment Practices commission (FEPC). In releasing the poll, Cole said he could "easily understand Eisenhower's position," and he added: "His entire effort is toward the effective organization of the North Atlantic treaty armies and resistance to further communistic aggression and I sincerely believe that he gives little if any thought to politics and the coming nomination. This is his job and his duty at the present time and he is carrying on in an exemplary manner." Today Cole made public Eisenhower's reply, dated Nov. 23. It read: "Thank you very much for your recent letter enclosing a copy of the press release announcing the results of your recent poll. "I would be less than human if I did not feel flattered to know that certain of your colleagues in the House feel that I have the necessary qualifications to fill the highest post in our country. "I am also appreciative of your warm endorsement of the work we are engaged in here, as well as your sympathetic understanding of my present position. It was most thoughtful of you to comment on these things in your press release."
