The drilling operations will be in the hands of the Acme Drilling Co., of Long Beach. Exact site of the well has not been conclusively set although first choice of the company is a plot on city owned property adjacent on the west to the rifle range on the city's eastern boundary. If something goes awry in the original plan drawn up by the company and the city, the petroleum company will move its operations to a county site a few feet to the east. May Drill In County. If the company does not receive a permit to drill (and a lease on the city property adjacent to the rifle range), drilling operations may be transferred to the county site. The permit and supplemental lease have been in the hands of the city attorney for about a month. City Attorney Preston Turner said today final details of the instruments are being worked out in almost daily negotiations with the Steele Co.'s attorney and expects they will be ready for final approval by council resolution Tuesday night. A portable rig is expected to be in place for a period of six to 10 weeks, after which low-silhouette pumps will be installed—if oil is discovered. $75,000 Invested already Drillers hope to push their operatingsworth, president of Anaheim JC, Andy Cordona, state Jaycee vice-president, and Bob Mosher of Rivera, secretary.—(Gazette photo by Kreidt) Steele people estimate it will cost them another $75,000 to determine if they have a dry hole.

Copeland, 52, dismissed superintendent of the State training center for the adult blind in Oakland, reopens next Wednesday in San Francisco. A three-day session was concluded here yesterday before hearing officer Bion Gregory. Copeland has appealed his ouster by the State department of education. He held the supprimentient's job since 1943. When he left, charged with conspiring to defraud the state, the job paid $821 monthly. Over the objection of James Phillips, Copeland's attorney, Deputy Attorney General Richard H. Perry introduced state forms involving the conversion of a sewini machine to a rug-making machine during Copeland's regime at the center. Anaheim Jaycee Entertains 48 District Members Anaheim Junior Chamber Commerce played host to 48 out-of-town Jaycees last night in the Elks club, for the regular district Jaycee meeting. About 20 local members attended. Anaheim President Dr. Warren Hollingsworth welcomed the growth and then turned the meeting over to Andy Cordona of Downey, California state vice president, who conducted the business meeting. Entertainment was provided by Lionel Gay and Kathy Arnold and included magical acts. It was voted to have a district Jaycee dance on or around Feb. 26 with the Long Beach club playing host. The Long Beach JC also invited other district clubs to send delegates for the tittle Miss Universe Hostess, to compete on an unnamed date in March. Candidates must be between the ages of 20 and 28 and may be married or unmarried. Big question under discussion during the meeting was whether or not the state Jaycee should allow itself to be subsidized by proposed ten sustaining membership ships to be sold for $1000 apiece. Santa Ana Jaycee Vic Allemma read a letter his club is addressing to the state president, urging that the sustaining membership idea be soft-pedaled, if not compelled. Lack of Government-Controlled Steel Interrupts SA Freeway Construction Construction work on the Santa Ana Freeway at the Santa Ana end of the highway has encountered a slow-down due to government controls on steel and the project faces delays that probably will extend into late 1952 or 1953 before it can be completed, according to R. H. Nelson, engineer for the contractors, Winston Bros. Construction Co. Steel allocations are made quarterly by the government, and one quarter's allocation is sufficient for only three week's operation, it is said. The 1951 steel allotment to the project is now all exhausted, and all of the first quarter's allocation for 1952 has been used, except for enough to complete the Lincoln st. underpass at the Santa Ana freeway and the abutments for the Grand ave. overpass. Earth moving equipment has been removed from the job and only a skeleton force, including a ten-man carpenter crew and a labor gang of ten men have been kept at work, Engineer Nelson said. Enough steel is on hand to keep the subcontractors busy until about Jan. 1, he estimated. The Lincoln st. underpass will be the only completed structure along the entire route through Santa Ana, said Nelson. The 17th st. overpass abutments are complete except for the wing walls. But there will be no steel for the superstructures spanning the abutments at Grand ave. and 17th st. until the second quarter allotment for 1952, Nelson stated. All work on the projected bridge carrying N. Main st. traffic over the freeway, with its on and off ramps also must wait until the second quarter of 1952, he added. The steel allocations to the freeway project are so inadequate that if an entire year's allocation were received on Jan. 1, it would be all used by Mar. 1, it was stated. Foreman Russell Robinson, employed on the Santa Ana project said that there appears to be little chance of increasing the steel allocations, as the national bureau handling controls frowns upon use of steel for freeway construction not regarding it as essential to defense.

At Least Three Persons Killed, More Than 200 Injured in Iran; Clark Out TEHRAN, Iran — At least gether smashed and routed by three persons were killed and more reds who shouted "Death to Mos-Clark expelled from Iran" At Least Three Persons Killed, More Than 200 Injured in Iran; Clark Out TEHRAN, Iran (P)—At least three persons were killed and more than 200 injured today in a five-hour battle between 5000 yelling communists and 2000 police and troops backed by angry mobs of nationalists. It was the bloddiest violence in Tehran since June, when riots resulted in more than 20 dead. Police and troops got control of the situation early this afternoon, after using tear gas, fire hoses, rifle butts and clubs. At least two rioters were wounded by police gunfire, although most of the police fired into the air. Many of the injured were reported in serious condition and the toll of dead may rise. An estimated 5000 pro-communist students started the heaviest rioting when they marched on the Majlis (parliament) shortly after dawn, in defiance of a government ban on demonstrations. Nationalists who support Premier Mohammed Mossadegh spilled into the streets and engaged in bloody conflict wherever they met the reds. The police and nationalists together smashed and routed the reds who shouted "Death to Mossadegh" and fought with clubs, stones and fists. What started as a communist show of force against Mossadegh's government turned into a bloody red defeat. TEHRAN, Iran (P)—The Iranian government today ordered New York Times correspondent Mike Clark expelled from Iran with 48 hours for alleged active against national interests. Clark is the third foreign respondent to be ousted from since she nationalized her oil dustry. Deputy Premier Hossein Fatemi said Clark had been ordered out for "activities in favor (Continued on Page 5) Woman’s Accusation Raises Inquiry Knohl Talks; Truman Deep in Silence SAN FRANCISCO (P)—A woman’s accusation that the Justice department tried to “keep the lid on the truth” of Internal Revenue scandals in San Francisco raised the possibility today of an inquiry by the House Judiciary committee. Rep. Patrick J. Hillings (R-Calif) said he would demand an investigation of three San Francisco federal judges and the U.S. attorney's office by the House Judiciary committee. It has the power to originate impeachment proceedings. Such a probe would add one more inquiry to a many-sided one which already has been the discharge of 10 persons, including the Internal Revenue collector. A Federal Grand Jury is wind-up an investigation. WASHINGTON (P)—Larry Knohl of New York—one of the acquaintances T.

Additional casualties were feared. Official reports from the terror-streken little south Philippines island of Camiguin said Philippine naval patrol boats moved close inshore Thursday night to pick up survivors at Mambajao on the northern coast. The latest eruption from the fiery mile-high inferno was reported to have occurred at 4 p.m., Thursday (3 a.m., Thursday, EST). Some 200 persons, mainly Chinese storekeepers and their families and Philippine army troops, had remained in Mainbajao. Dispatches from the Philippines News Service and Manila Times correspondents on the 13-mile-long island said the latest eruption apparently came from a new vent on the northern slope. The HST Dissected By Taft, Byrd Before Doctors LOS ANGELES (AP)—Sens. Byrd (D-Va) and Taft (R-Ohio) took a scalpel to the administration last night in speeches before the American Medical association. Taft charged the federal government has "undertaken to regulate all industry and commerce and agriculture," and is threatening to "take over all welfare services through a scheme known as social insurance." Doctors, said Taft, are justified in opposing this trend "because the key move of the socialists today is the effort to set up a federal system of socialized medicine." Byrd warned that "if America is destroyed it will be the result of fiscal irresponsibility of which the present administration is guilty, and which even now is being exploited by political camp followers who would centralize..." United Nations Spokesman Charges Communists with Blackmail Ideas UNSAN, Korea, Friday (AP) — United Nations command spokesman charged the communist Thursday night with "negotiating blackmail" by refusing to exchange of war prisoners in Korea immediately. Gen. William P. Nuckols hired delegates at Panmunjom County Building Beaches $288,556 Building permits in the county's incorporated area for the past week aggregated $288,556 in valuation, according to county build-department records. Anaheim had a valuation of $11,004, holding a $8576 residence for Simon at 11412 Romneya dr., 28 wind machine for Williamaux on Ball rd., and $1000 in illaneous permits. Golden Grove, after a building of several weeks, returned to position among unincorporated communities of the county a total of $111,662, followed Costa Mesa with $69,227. Mid-City was third with $36,166, into a new factory there. Other totals: Buena Park, $24,-Westminster $16,396, El Toro 4, Anaheim $11,004, South Ana $9310, Laguna Beach $2000 Blacentia $1000. truce talks apparently were trying to force the Allies to accept communist terms for supervision of an armistice by delaying discussion of the prisoners exchange. Nuckols' blast came after north Korean Maj. Gen. Le Sang refused to consider repeated Allied proposals to set up a second subcommittee to work on the prisoner question. General Lee was quoted as saying "when there is no prospect for progress of the meeting, our senior delegate, (Lt. Gen. Nam II) will not give you any answer about the prisoners of war." Another U.N. spokesman at the meeting, Lt. Col. Howard Levie, told Allied correspondents, "I think of all of us that had somewhat the implication of black-mail." During Thursday's meeting the Allies agreed to go along with a red demand that only specified points be subject to inspection during a Korean armistice. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 55. High for the previous 24 hours was 61 at 2:30 p.m. yesterday. Low was 39 at 5:30 a.m. today. Doctors said Tart are justified in opposing this trend "because the key move of the socialists today is the effort to set up a federal system of socialized medicine." Byrd warned that "if America is destroyed it will be the result of fiscal irresponsibility of which the present administration is guilty, and which even now is being exploited by political camp followers who would centralize all power and purse control in Washington." He attacked "the creeping socialism and the scandals" which Thomas Jefferson foresaw when he said "I do verily believe that a consolidated government would become the most corrupt government on earth." Photographic Memory Traps Check Artist Melvin E. Wright, manager of the local Gallenkamp shoe store, proved that it pays to remember faces yesterday. Last August a $12.31 bad check was passed in the store by Robert Anderson, 27, a transient. Since that time an all points broadcast has been out for the man who has two other counts of bad checks against him, one in Fullerton and another in Anaheim. Police had no luck in catching up with the treveling man until yesterday when he again entered the Anaheim Gallenkamp store and Wright recognized him. He called police and Anderson is now cooling his heels in a jail cell. His hearing will be held tomorrow.
