Steele (Continued from Page 1) the Steele Co., accepted the terms laid down by the city, but objected that title men did not seem to be in agreement on whether or not title insurance oculd be issued when procedure under Section 7053 is not followed. He quoted a Los Angeles title executive whose opinion was diametrically opposed to that of Turner's advisor. Steele officials said they will begin preliminary drilling operations this week. When actual drilling gets under way, they said, they expect to proceed at the rate of 250 feet per day. "Surface," for purposes of the leases, was defined by city council as 3000 feet beneath the actual surface, to give the oil company a chance to drill vertically. Holdup Occurs in Bar During TV Program SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The customers were mighty interested in the television program at Phillip's tavern last night. And bartender Harry Krieger was pretty indignant, having a holdup man pick him clean and none of the customers as much as looking around. "This guy walks in and the next thing I know, this guy is pointing an automatic at me and saying to put the money in this here sack." Krieger explained. "Well, I look at these six customers all sitting there watching the TV and not even looking up, so I take the money out of the cash register and stuff it in the bag for the guy... about $400. This guy with the gun walks out of the joint and when he reaches the street he runs. "And these other guys still don't even look up once."

When actual drilling gets under way, they said, they expect to proceed at the rate of 250 feet per day. "Surface," for purposes of the leases, was defined by city council as 3000 feet beneath the actual surface, to give the oil company a chance to drill vertically before whipstocking off laterally. Harold S. Cook of the Steele Co., said they plan to drill vertically 2000 to 3000 feet down, then set the whipstock for lateral drilling. He said the first drill site will be on the piece of land south of Essex Wire Corp., plant west of Patt st. Rental To Be Paid The lease, which was granted to E. N. Basha and Horace Steele, co-partners in the Steele Petroleum Co., has a 25 year time limit and is terminable after one year if no production of oil or gas is obtained. Either party to the lease may terminate it upon 30 days notice. Minimum royalty or rental to be paid was set at $5 per acre per month and will continue to be paid until royalties from oil produced exceeds the amount of the rental. A 2 per cent overriding royalty will be paid the city for all oil produced from the drill site, but the city will not participate in the 6 per cent royalty to be paid members of the community lease. Upon request of the Steele Co., city council granted a "reasonable length of time not to exceed 30 days" in which the oil company would be expected to rectify any violations of the drilling permit brought to their attention.

He is Pfc. William O. Boyd, foster son of Mrs. Jean West, of San Diego. "I am bewildered, but I feel that the communist prisoner list is mistaken," Mrs. West said today. "Of course this has given me hope Bill is still alive. But I cannot believe the Army could have made such a mistake," she said. Mrs. West said a body identified by the Department of Defense as that of Boyd was returned from Korea by the Army and military services were conducted Dec. 5 at Fort Rosecrans. Boyd was reported missing in action in October, 1950. Two months later the Army notified Mrs. West he was killed in action. Marine Officers Hurt in Wreck Two Marine officers from Santa Ana Marine Air station received major injuries at 11 o'clock last night when their car, driven by 1st Lt.

Los Angeles—Near Elks Club—Anahiem 3304 Truman Doesn't Like Gift Givers In His Offices WASHINGTON (UP)—The word went out from the White House yesterday that President Truman won't like it if a federal employee takes a Christmas present—on any other kind of present—from anybody with an axe to grind with the government. Mr. Truman made this known in an around the corner sort of war, without issuing any specific orders. And the White House maintained its six day long silence on when the president will announce the drastic action he has promised to rid his administration of any remaining wrongdoers. Mr. Truman spoke out on the gift matter in a letter, made public late yesterday, to Raymond H. Foley, federal housing administrator, who had told the president about his agency's own efforts to keep influence peddlers at arms length. "I think the policy you have set out with respect to the acceptance of gifts by employees is a wise one, and I believe that this is the correct policy for all the government," the president told Foley. The housing administrator informed Mr. Truman that he long ago issued a detailed list of practices which the people working for him must avoid, and followed it up this year with a pre-Christmas STORMY WEATHER—Men on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Essex turn to watch a huge wave crash over the deck as the vessel ploughs through rough water in the Sea of Japan.

The housing administrator informed Mr. Truman that he long ago issued a detailed list of practices which the people working for him must avoid, and followed it up this year with a pre-Christmas warning "even more specific" than in the past. Employees are forbidden, he said, to take "any favor, gift, unusual loan or discount, gratuitous service, entertainment or any other thing of value" from anyone who could possibly expect an official favor. Foley told his staff to make this policy known to anybody from whom they might be expecting a gift. If a gift comes anyway, said the administrator, send it back firmly but courteously. He cautioned employees against accepting even an invitation to lunch without making sure "it will not result in embarrassment to the agency or to themselves." In addition, each housing employee must file a monthly report of any non-government employment, business activity or investments which could be questioned by anybody on the grounds of propriety. Foley said the agency has strengthened its "compliance staffs" to assure that his orders are carried out.

Price Director Michael DiSalle said OPS is setting up a special section to act as a watch dog on military contracts. The agency, he said, will work closely with the Defense Department in checking on contract prices. DiSalle said the action was taken after an exchange of views with John D.

The PUC also increased the company's joint fares, with Fontana Bus Lines (operating in Fontana, Bloomington and Colton) probably able to expect an increase of about $1000 a year in its revenues.

When the plant has expanded to its limits, 225,000 feet of space will have been provided. Arden explained. Ground was broken for the plant last February. Contractor for the construction was Buttress and McClellan. Price Director Michael DiSalle said OPS is setting up a special section to act as a watchdog on military contracts. The agency, he said, will work closely with the Defense Department in checking on contract prices. DiSalle said the action was taken after an exchange of views with John D. Small, munitions board chairman. The aim, he said, is to carry out a provision of the defense production act which requires the price stabilizer to assure that defense appropriations "are not dissipated by excessive costs and prices." DiSalle made his announcement in suspending price controls on sales of all new aircraft and plane parts. He told reporters this is being done to spur aircraft industry expansion and help speed production of planes for defense. Heretofore, only planes and parts made especially for combat purposes were exempt from price control. Two youthful bandits, one who exhibited a weapon resembling a Very pistol, held up and robbed the market operated by Wayne R. Crowther of Santa Ana at First st. and Harbor blvd. early today. They escaped with $118 in cash and two loaded .45 caliber automatic pistols. Paul K. Hoover, 30, of Santa Ana, a clerk in the market was alone there at 4:10 a.m. when the two bandits, who were about 19-years-old, he estimated, parked a yellow convertible car on First st. and entered the market. He was serving them soft drinks when one of them suddenly drew forth the Very pistol and ordered him to deliver the cash. They took his wallet, which contained $8 in cash, the rest of the money and guns belonged to the owner. Hoover told officers that one of the youths called the other one by the name "Jack." Remember Speed Kills! Hall now is serving his five year term. He was ordered by Judge Sylvester J. Ryan to appear Dec. 27 for sentencing. During his trial the government asked that, if convicted, Hall be sentenced to five to seven years more imprisonment.

His statement at a news conference was in effect a reply to critics who say Europe must do more for unity, more quickly. In support of it, he cited the French-sponsored plan for a coal-steel "pool" and the arrangements being discussed for an all-European army. In his first meeting with reporters at the State Department since he attended international conferences in Paris and Rome, the secretary of state also asked: 1. The Western Allies hope early in the new year to complete arrangements for Western German self-rule and participation in European defense. 2. He would never recommend to President Truman any disarmament plan based on Russian promises. There must be concrete evidence of disarmament in every country if it is to work, he declared. 3. There cannot be any disarmament while military operations are going on in Korea, but other issues between the western powers and Russia would not block progress on disarmament. 4. The situation in the Middle East has grown more serious and the western nations have lost ground in their efforts to obtain some reasoned solution for the Iranian and Egyptian crises. 5. Russia's assertion that two alleged spies, now reported executed, were dropped into the Soviet Union by the United States is a fabrication. He described it as in line with communist efforts to charge the United States and its Allies with aggressive intentions toward the red bloc. Biltmore Sold to Texas Syndicate LOS ANGELES (UP) — The Biltmore hotel, the downtown's biggest, was sold today to a Dallas syndicate in a deal totaling about $12,750,000. Real estate sources called it the largest single sale in California's history. The Texas group, headed by Leo F. Corrigan and Fletcher G. Lippitt, both of Dallas paid over in escrow a $9,000,000 check—filling a trust deed in favor of the Equitable Life Assurance Society for $7,500,000 of it—and gave a note for $3,750,000. The latter covers a $10 second lien note for each share. The nine million dollars check pays off $23 a share to a group of stockholders which formerly owned the big hostelry, built in 1923. There will be no change in the Biltmore's operation. It is under long-term lease to Baron Long and associates. French Express Confidence in British Support PARIS (UP) — Encouraged by British support if not alliance, French officials expressed confidence today that they can stitch together a six-country international army with one uniform, one French Express Confidence in British Support PARIS (UP) — Encouraged by British support if not alliance, French officials expressed confidence today that they can stitch together a six-country international army with one uniform, one budget and one command. Two days of talks between French leaders and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill put new force behind France's drive for the European army. In a joint communique, Churchill withheld Britain from joining the army he himself has advocated, but promised British troops will be "linked with those of the European defense community for training, supply and operations by land, sea and air." Six-power talks among France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg begin in Paris Dec. 27. They will try to put the final touches on the army set-up. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces in Europe, including some British divisions, wants the paper work signed quickly so the proposed army can become the core of his ground defenses against any Russian aggression. Despite British support and the hopeful feeling it imparted in France, one big question remained unsolved: What will the Belgians do? Belgium has battled against giving too much power to the proposed super-authority to run the army, and is highly suspicious of joining in a common military budget. Money demands disturb the Belgians, who already are in near-revolt against NATO requests for a 50 per cent hike in their arms spending. Belgian leaders also have warned their parliament may balk at joining a European army which lacks complete British membership. If Belgium falls out, the French fear The Netherlands and Luxembourg will go with her. And they confess that a Euro-ground in their efforts to obtain some reasoned solution for the Iranian and Egyptian crises. 5. Russia's assertion that two alleged spies, now reported executed, were dropped into the Soviet Union by the United States is a fabrication. He described it as in line with communist efforts to charge the United States and its Allies with aggressive intentions toward the red bloc. 6. The United States is continuing to do all it can to bring about the release from red Hungary of four American fliers captured when their plane went down last month.
