(Gaze photo by Kreldt) City Council to Advertise for Bids On Leasing Subsurface Mineral Rights Anaheim City council last night moved to produce an ironclad procedure for the leasing of subterranean oil and gas rights beneath city-owned property by passing a resolution setting forth the terms of such leases and specifying the rental to be paid. The council decided to advertise for bids on city property subsurface leases and set Jan. 22 at 8 p.m. as the time for submitting sealed bids for the leases. The procedure outlined in resolution adheres to the regulations for leasing publicly-owned mineral rights as outlined in chapter 7053 of Chapter 5 of the Public Resources Code of California. Any lease granted under term the resolution would not be in nature of a community lease, would be a separately negotiated lease. Supervisors Permit South Seas Move Business establishments that are forced off the Santa Ana Freeway right-of-way have a right to seek other locations abutting the freeway system, under a policy adopted by the county supervisors yesterday when they rejected protests against relocation of the South Seas cafe at the junction of Manchester ave. and Hwy. 101, south of Anaheim. The supervisors approved application of C. M. McNees of Anaheim, owner of the South Seas, for a variance to permit moving the cafe about 300 feet southeast-ly from its present location, which will be taken for the proposed overpass of Manchester by 101. Nearby property owners objected that they had not received notice of the removal plan and that it would depreciate value of their properties. The supervisors however, held that no business operator should be forced out of business by the State's acquisition of his property. McNees expects to relocate his cafe between the junction overpass and another overpass planned at Katella rd., several hundred feet to the southeast. The cafe site will be along an access road paralleling the freeway. Woman Stabs Man With Paring Knife After Argument Edward Bueford, Santa Ana Negro, was in the county hospital today with a stab wound in the back, and Miss Mary Montgomery. 32. Negro domestic, was in the county jail charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Santa Ana police said she admitted using a paring knife on Bueford's back. They were at a social gathering and she announced she was going home to her apartment at the rear of 917 W. First st., according to the story she told police. Instead she drove to meet a Marine, Joe Cowan, and, after visiting a couple of bars they went to her apartment. Tiff Ends In Stabbing About 10 minutes later, Bueford arrived on his bicycle and knocked. After some debate, she let him in. He walked across the room, picked up a table model radio, and started out. She knocked (Continued on Page 5) The procedure outlined in resolution adheres to the regulations for leasing publicly-owned mineral rights as outlined in section 7053 of Chapter 5 of the Public Resources Code of California.

Palm Walk Assured Austin Griffiths, 422 W. S. st., last night agreed to in a sidewalk on the west front of his property on S. Palm. The city will rough-grade ground and Griffiths will lay walk at his own expense. Sidewalk was requested by new boring parents in the 800 th of S. Palm st. because so children were forced to walk the street because of lack of sidewalk. For the present sidewalks will be laid on South st. or Helena st. front Griffiths' property since petriant and auto traffic is not enough to warrant it, in the opinion of city officials.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1951 Appears Lull in Korea to Linger Despite Deadline SEOUL, Korea, Friday (AP) — It appeared almost certain today that the lull in Korean ground fighting would linger on despite end of a 30-day "trial" period on a provisional buffer zone. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, U.S. Eighth Army commander, was in a South Korea rear area Thursday. If anything big militarily were planned or expected, it seemed certain the general would be on the frontline or at his headquarters. Van Fleet recently told the Associated Press: "We will not sacrifice our men needlessly. What is the use of thousands of casualties if it is questionable what good they would do? However, the Eighth Army and U.N. attached units stand ready to do the job they have to do. And we intend to accomplish our mission from a military standpoint in Korea." (This mission has been defined as to repel aggression. American For Release VIENNA (P) — American officials waited fruitlessly to the release of four jailed can fliers in Budapest, nightfall Western sources suspected the U.S. pay the fliers' fine had ferred to Moscow. The Hungarian government has delayed for two full answering the U.S. offer the $120,000 fine levied by the four fliers forced by Hungary Nov. 19 by Sovieters. The Hungarian government today only that it was "citing" the offer. This co- with the announcement in gary's Washington legal night that the offer was a in return for prompt relief the men. Red Government Consider The U. S. Embassy he tonight the Hungarian com government is still "consi the American offer to pay Sewer Districts Designate Bank As Bond Agent Bank of America was designated as agent for five of the seven county sanitation districts at last night's meeting in Santa Ana, to redeem their portion of the $8,308,000 sanitation bond issues to be sold Jan. 23. The other districts, No. 1 (Santa Ana) and No. 11 (Huntington Beach) lacked quorum at the meeting, but may take similar action. Mayor Courtney Chandler chairman of District 1, has called a meeting for this evening at the home of J. L. McBricht, another board member, who was recently injured in an accidental fall. The bank will collect a fee of $1 for every bond redeemed and five cents for every coupon cash-ed by bond buyers. The total charge to the district if the bank handles the entire $8,308,000 issue would be $24,611.10, it was estimated by Chief Engineer-General Manager Raymond R. Ribal. W. H. Goodrich, assistant vice president of the bank, told the directors that the arrangement with the Bank of America and its eastern bank connections would be likely to attract eastern bidders for the bonds by allowing the bonds to be paid off in New York. It was estimated that if the interest rate were ½ per cent lower by reason of more bidding for the bonds, there would be a saving of $10,000 for the first year alone. Maturity dates for the various district bond issues extend over a period of 37 years. Bar Owner Seeks Hired Help, Money When Henry Ortega, co-owner needlessly.

In relaying this dispatch, the Tokyo bureau of the Associated Press noted that it was the first time the censor had passed such a statement from Van Fleet but that the circumstances were withheld and the time would be given only as "several days ago.") Colorado Water Flow Reduction Denied by County There will be no reduction in the present rate of flow of Colorado river water purchased by the County Flood Control district from the Metropolitan Water district, county supervisors decreed yesterday in referring the question to the judgment of Flood Engineer Jack Bradley, who does not favor the reduction. The Orange County Water district, following a recent rain storm which caused the river flow to reach the Yorba bridge spreading grounds, had urged that the Colorado river water flow, now 90 second feet, be cut in half as a conservation move. Bradley, however, said that the river channel is absorbing the entire flow and there is no reason for cutting it down. A total of 25,000 acre feet of water was purchased by the Flood Control district following a similar purchase by the Orange County Water district, which was delivered last summer.

Fourth st., Santa Ana, found his establishment locked, as it should have been, but all lights burning and the bar littered with dirty glasses, as they shouldn't have been, he started police on a search for his missing bartender, Gilbert Baca, and the missing cash receipts, $216. Nick Padilla, from the Havaha cafe, also owned by Ortega, customarily picks up the El Latino bar receipts at the 2 a.m. closing hour. This time he found the bar locked, although all lights were blazing. Baca, who had been on duty alone, was nowhere to be seen. Padilla called Ortega. Ortega noted the missing cash and called police, who checked at Baca's hotel and learned he had been evicted Dec. 21 for non-payment of rent, and had spent the last three days at another hotel, but also checked out there, a police report stated.

Civil Defense Men Don't Want to Overdress at Work YONKERS, N. Y. (UP) — You ladies will understand how some of Yonkers' civil defense police feel—they don't want to overdress. The city has proposed clothing the five battalions in a $10 uniform of white helmet, blue coveralls, white belt and white leggings. Four battalions had no objection to using this uniform in case they are called out on disaster work. The fifth, composed of about 150 business and professional men, protested. Those fancy uniforms said the protesting civil police would make them look like "circus clowns, storm troopers and space patrolmen." They said they prefer just plain badges and armbands.

ER 27, 1951 5c per Copy — 50c per Month NUMBER 41 American Officials Waiting Fruitlessly For Release of Four Jailed U.S. Fliers VIENNA (P)—American officials waited fruitlessly today for the release of four jailed American filers in Budapest, and at nightfall Western sources said they suspected the U. S.' offer to pay the filers' fine had been referred to Moscow. The Hungarian government now was delayed for two full days answering the U. S. offer to pay the $120,000 fine levied against the four filers forced down in Hungary Nov. 19 by Soviet fighters. The Hungarian government said today only that it was "considering" the offer. This conflicted with the announcement in Hungary's Washington legation last night that the offer was accepted a return for prompt release of the men. Used Government Considering The U. S. Embassy here said tonight the Hungarian communist government is still "considering" the American offer to pay a fine for the freedom of four jailed U. S. filers. Such a stand conflicted with the announcement of Hungary's legation in Washington last night that the offer of $120,000 in fines called a ransom in the west—had been accepted for the prompt release of the four men. Tonight's development raised doubts on the status of negotiations for release of the filers, convicted of violating Hungary's borders after their plane lost its course on a Munich-Belgrade flight. It seemed possible the Hungarians had raised new conditions. The ambassador here, Walter J. Donnelly, talked with George Abbott, U. S. Charge d'Affaires in the American legation in Budapest. "The Hungarians merely told Abbott our proposition was being considered," Donnelly said. But American officials in Budapest still hoped the filers soon would be on their way to freedom. Abbott also expressed hope that the Hungarians—when their decision was made—would turn the filiers over to the U. S. legation in Budapest rather than dump them on the Austrian border without previous notice. Officials Ready for Trip A group of American officials was ready to go to the border to meet the filiers. It waited for Soviet permission to cross the Russian occupied zone of Austria to the border town of Nickelsdorf, where Hungary in April released Robert A. Vogeler, American businessman imprisoned 17 months by Hungary as a "spy." Donnelly and his deputy, Walter A. Dowling, are the only American officials in Austria who have the right to move about the Soviet zone without prior Soviet authorization. They planned to go to the border if the Russians delayed authorization for the Nickelsdorf group to operate. Steel Strike Question Answered in Secret—Answer to Come Later PITTSBURGH (U.P.)—Strategists of the CIO United Steelworkers decided the strike or no strike question in secret today but withheld any announcement until notification later in the day by the union's governing wage-policy committee. USW President Philip Murray conferred with the union's 36-man executive board for more than two hours. He emerged smiling but close-mouthed. The session began with the union virtually committed to service New Year's Day in support of demands for an 18½ cent hour-wage boost and other contract oncessions. Murray and his aides had previously the 650,000 USW members in basic steel won't work without a contract. Their pact expires at midnight next Monday. Today's sessions were called after President Truman issued a personal appeal to Murray tovert a steel strike. The president turned the steel dispute over to the Wage Stabilization Board for a recommended settlement. The union meetings began amid widespread predictions the USW leaders would decide against striking. The executive board makes decisions and the 170-man wage policy committee rejects or approves those decisions. BULLETIN PITTSBURGH (U.P.) — CIO United Steelworkers voted today against a strike on New Year's day. The big union's governing wage policy committee said it had directed "the members of the union to continue at work under terms and conditions of the contracts which expire on Dec. 31, 1951." President Phillip Murray said the union will continue to produce vitally needed steel at least until the union holds a special convention Jan. 3 in Atlantic City. Explosions in Miami Areas To Continue MIAMI, Fla. (U.P.)—Another mysterious explosion occurred in the Miami area early today just four hours after a blast shook a wide area in suburban Hialeah. The explosions followed warnings by dynamiters yesterday that they planned to strike again. In both instances police were unable to determine the exact location of the explosion and no damage was reported. Two Coral Gables patrol cars reported hearing the latest blast about 3:30 a.m. (EST) and contacting headquarters immediately. Officers later talked to residents awakened by the noise. The explosion in Hialeah came last night at 11:30 p.m. (EST). The explosion sent dozens of officers to the scene but the location of the blast was not found immediately. Squad cars checked all houses of worship, such as have been targets in many of the 11 blasts set off here since last June, in the Hialeah-Miami Springs area but found all undamaged. Safely Director William G. Kimbrough of Coral Gables reported two calls warned him Wednesday that the dynamiters are planning further acts. He said a caller with a heavy foreign accent telephoned him Wednesday morning and warned: "We just want to let you know we've got plenty of dynamite left. We have no preference as to what kind of church it is. We intend to go on bombing churches." CAIRO, Egypt—Police fired a rioting Egyptian students today as protest demonstrations broke out in Cairo and Alexandria on the second day in a row over the apparent entry of the palace to power politics. Buckshot fired from police riot guns injured 15 students at Alexandria. Several students and police were reported injured in Cairo. The students overturned and set fire to a streetcar near the Parliament Building and police waded with billy clubs. Ten students were arrested and a streetcar piled up for blocks before several hundred police recored order. The disturbances spread to secondary school students today. Four secondary schools in Alexandria were ordered closed, including the Abbasia school, near the Alexandria main railway station where police fired on the students. Thousands of secondary school students in both of Egypt's major cities were involved in the demonstrations. Fouad and Mohammed Allasha Universities in Cairo and Farouk University in Alexandria were ordered closed indefinitely yesterday after collegiate riots against King Farouk's appointment of pro-western advisors on his palace cabinet. Police used tear gas against mob of 5000 in Alexandria yesterday. Seven police were rearted injured by stones and two students were hurt. The students outed slogans against Hafez Alifi Pasha, powerful banker and industrialist who was named by Farouk Monday to head his royal cabinet. European Leaders Meet to Devise Pooling Army PARIS (P)—Leaders of six European countries meet here today to devise a plan for pooling their military strength into a single, one-uniform continental army. They have several points of disagreement on which compromises must be worked out. The best guess was that they would be successful on a compromise agreement to create a high commissioner job that would make one man a sort of European defense minister. His job would be to recruit a European army of 43 divisions in the next three years. France and Italy would provide 12 divisions each. Germany's proposed 14 divisions and the five from the Benelux countries—Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg—would be stripped-down versions of not more than 13,000 men each. Optimism that agreement could be reached was based mainly on reports that the French would be willing to compromise simply to get the European army formed. The French seem to think organizational differences can be solved later after a trial period of one to three years of actual practice. News Briefs WIESBADEN, Germany (P)—An American jet fighter exploded in flight over Bavaria today. The pilot, Captain William C.
