United Nations Accuse Reds of Stalling Talks MUNSAN, Korea —The United Nations command today accused the communists of “playing the waiting game” in the Korean truce talks, hoping the Allies will “capitulate out of sheer exasperation.” An official U.N. broadcast became to Korea from Tokyo said: “Either the reds have no intention of reaching an armistice and are merely killing time until their next offensive, or they have been instructed not to bargain on any point. “The latter alternative may be the truer one at this date.” The broadcast said the reds’ staring game is “an overt admission from communists leaders that right now they do not expect anything to happen.” (The communist Peiping radio, heard in Tokyo, raised new charges that American planes bombed red China’s territory on three consecutive days, Jan. 19 through Jan. 21. (The broadcast asserted the first attack, by a single plane over Mahlsenkou in Liaotung province of Manchuria, destroyed three houses and injured livestock. On Jan. 20 another plane allegedly penetrated six miles into Chinese territory. On Jan. 21 a flight of 19 U.S. planes scouted Szepingkal while eight more planes flew over Antung but were driven off by red antialrcraft fire, the red radio) No Heavy Rainfall in Sight from Storm That Is Hitting North LOS ANGELES (AP) — There’s rain in them thar clouds, but you have the Weather Bureau’s word for it: Forecaster G. W. Kalstrom said light rain is falling as far south as Bakersfield and Santa Barbara this afternoon, that it will move into the Los Angeles area tonight and that there will be “some light to moderate rain reaching as far south as San Diego by late Friday.” Clouds tonight will keep the temperature in citrus areas above 32, the bureau said. SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—A warm rain and the stiff wind of a new Pacific storm hit Northern and Central California today, causing some local flooding. The High Sierra got snow. The U. S. Weather Bureau predicted heavy rain into tomorrow. Then the downpour was expected. Dinner Guests Get Robbed While Eating Out-of-state dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony J. Gabrial, 2300 N. Flower st., Santa Ana, were robbed of $140 while they were seated at the dinner table yesterday evening. Gorge Ginn, Ft. Fairfield, Me., had left his coat on the bed in the front bedroom, and his wife had planned to taper off, except in the northernmost part of the state. The new storm, extending from mid-Pacific to the west coast, was moving slowly northward. It brought rising temperatures to California and rain to the mountains below the 5500-foot level. But the Weather Bureau said there was little immediate danger of major flood. The runoff from rain-melted snow is slow, and the heavy snow pack will hold back excess runoff, the forecaster said. East of Fresno, high wind carried away and smashed several poultry houses and scattered fig trays about orchards. Southeast storm warnings were flying from Oregon as far south as Cape Mendocino, on the Northern California coast, with 25 to 45 mile-an-hour winds expected.

El Toro Marine In County Jail Joe John Castro, 21, El Toro Marine, was in the county brig today on a charge of car tampering, chiefly for two reasons. First, police who examined the car of R. M. Bojorquel, 1725½ W. Fourth st., which had been forcibly entered and moved 30 feet into the center of the street, found a finger print on it which they said matched Castro's prints. Second reason, they said, was the fact that when they found Castro asleep at 6 a.m., today in another car which also had been ransacked, he quickly looked in Bojorquel's car for his jacket.

Lana Turner of the films and her wealthy husband, Henry J. "Bob" Topping, Jr., were sued for more than $1900 in Superior Court at Santa Ana today, for alleged failure to pay rental on a Lido Isle duplex apartment at Newport Beach, and for assertedly damaging the interior. Owners of the property at 429½ Lido Soud, Earl W. Sparks and Alice E. Sparks, brought the action through Tobias and Bernard, Santa Ana law firm. They charged that the Toppings, now reportedly discussing divorce arrangements, are in arrears to the extent of $1600 rental. They claim $303.50 damages as the cost of repairs required at the apartment when the Toppings moved out. Lana and her husband leased the upper duplex apartment Feb. 22, 1951, for 15 months at a figure of $3000, payable at the rate of $200 per month in advance, the complaint states. They are declared to be in default with payments due June 22, 1951, and thereafter up to and including this month.

They ask $303.50 damages for injury to the walls of the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, where asphalt tile was damaged, also for stains and cigaret burns on the living room rug. Attorneys fees and costs of suit are included in the demand.

(Associated Press Wirephoto) Kefauver's Bid for Presidential Nomination Raises Big Question WASHINGTON (UP) — Senator Kefauver's finish-fight bid for the Democratic presidential nomination sharpened the big question today: Does President Truman plan to run again? Mr. Truman could end the speculation by announcing his plans at his news conference today. But the White House provided no advance hint he might do so. Kefauver formally entered the race yesterday. The Tennessee senator said he was "in until the finish," regardless of whether Mr. Truman seeks re-election. "I am going to work hard to win," said the former chairman of the Senate Crime Investigation committee. With his attractive wife, Nancy, seated by his side, Kefauver told newsmen: "I regard it as the right of the American people to have as wide a choice as possible in choosing their leaders." There is a place—and a need—for new blood and new ideas in both parties." Kefauver said the "paramount issue" is "peace in the world." He added that under the Roosevelt and Truman administrations dur- ing the last 20 years "we have made much progress enacting and vigorously pursuing a foreign policy in the interest of world peace." Kefauver did fire some criticism, however, in the direction of the Truman administration. Transit Strike Continues in East BALTIMORE (UP) — For two weeks now, Baltimoreans have been walking, thumbing, laughing, cussing and holding on to their money considerably more than they're accustomed to. And there's no immediate indication they'll stop these excessive conditions. The transit strike that hobbled it is sixth largest city at 4 a.m. on Jun. 10 entered its third week today. And although company and union negotiators have scheduled another meeting today, both remain adamant in their latest offers.

Mark, who has been legal consultant for the group during the past two years, guiding them through the proceeding leading up to the signing of important agreements with JOS which opened the way to the sale of the bonds. Judge Marks now is terminating his service. Ribal and Attorney C. Arthur Nisson, Jr., now legal advisor of the districts, praised Judge Marks last evening as being responsible "more than any one man" for ending the three-year stalemate in the sanitation program.

French Deliver Stern Warning to Bey of Tunis Demanding Order TUNIS, Tunisia (P) — The French delivered a stern warning today to the Bey of Tunis demanding that he help restore order in this seething protectorate, where 10 days of rioting have claimed at least 50 lives. Jean De Hauteclocque, the French resident general, called on the Bey at his palace. The Bey was told that unless he takes steps to avoid further bloodshed, the French will be compelled to take even stiffer military measures than are under way now. The French rushed heavy reinforcements of gendarmes and troops into trouble spots throughout Tunisia, where Arab nationalists are clamoring for more independence from France. The Bey, Sidi Mohamed Al Amin, has been sympathetic to the nationalist demands. Earlier in the week he had refused to see the resident general, pleading illness. Official sources put the death toll in the more than a week of rioting at 44 Tunisians and six red lights and fishtailed around corners last evening, the driver, Rollie E. Fugate, Jr., 20, 1031 W. Third st., explained: "I just had her fixed and was trying her out to see what she could do." "Fine," said Cox. "Now, I'll show you what the police department can do." He wrote out a ticket for reckless driving and presented it to Fugate.
