Mrs. R. H. Marvin, secretary, reported to the board of directors at their regular meeting last night. B. W. (Barney) Jordan, member of the Girl Scouts Board of Directors and chairman of that group's finance committee, presented a check to the Community Chest for $1090.90, representing a refund on unused funds allotted to the Girl Scouts under the 1950-51 budget for an executive director's salary. The services of the executive director were not utilized throughout the entire year; Jordan reported. The Anaheim Community Chest board will hold its annual election meeting next Tuesday evening (Feb. 5). Wayne Butterbaugh, chairman of the nominating committee, reported that the Anaheim Community Chest's executive activities will be expanded with the appointment of additional field directors, representing the suburban communities in the Anaheim Chest area. Agency representatives at the meeting reported on activities of the new year, which already include flood relief assistance by the Salyation Army; establishment of 15 new Brownie troops by the Girl Scout organization, who now have 1050 names registered in active Girl Scout work; Anaheim Boy Scout participation in the North Orange County Council meeting, and expansion of activities by the Visiting Nurses Association under a new director. 'Porchlight Parade' Cancelled Here Anaheim will have no "Porchlight Parade" tonight, it was revealed today by Dr. Warren Hollingsworth, chairman of the Anaheim March of Dimes. Radio broadcasts have announced that porchlight parades will be held in all Southern California cities, but it had to be cancelled here because the P-TA council, which has organized the brigade in past years, failed to do so this year, he said. AUHS Students To Perform with Allied Bombers Deal Communist Rails Stiff Blow SEOUL, Korea (P)—Allied fighters bombers today dealt heavy new blows to the wobbly communist rail lines in northwest Korea. A flight of U.S. F186 Sabre jets tangled briefly with communist MIG-15 jets in Mig alley. The Sabre pilots made no damage claims. On the ground, U.N. Infantry men clashed in a few Minot patrol skirmishes. A U.S. Eighth Army communique reported two small red attacks behind mortar barrages were beaten back before dawn along the Pukhan river in the central sector. U.S. Fifth Air Force warplanes flew 240 sorties by noon. Pilots reported more than 50 new raids. Claims also included two field pieces and four trucks. In a continuation of round-the-clock attacks on the community life line, B-29 Superforts Wednesday night blasted two key targets in northwest Korea. Light ground fire was reported. No re-fighters were seen. Communist supply lines and troop installations along both coasts were brought under heavy guns of U.N. warships. The U.S. battleship Wisconsin threw more than 135 tons of 10-inch shells at rail targets near beigeed Wonsan on the east coast. A communist troop transport was attacked by the guns of the British frigate Cockade off Hael. Action to Limit Driver's Licenses For Youth Urged SACRAMENTO (UP)—Action to limit drivers licenses for youth, especially those with souped-up hotrods, was urged today by O. H. Close, a member of the California Youth Authority. He noted that one-third of the teenagers appearing before juvenile authorities were charged with traffic law violations, and commented: "The time has come for definite action. "Our highways and streets are congested, and steps must be taken to limit the granting of licenses to juveniles." The Youth Authority has custody of offenders under 21 sentenced to state prisons. Close declared the stripped-down hotrods often are the cause of worse crimes than traffic violations. Boys with cars who do not have enough money to operate them are tempted, he said, to steal parts and gasoline. Statistics filed by the authority cover youths appearing before probation officers of 12 selected counties during 1951. Of the 18,688 cases, 5912 involved traffic violations. Close said he favored an immediate study of the problem to be followed by necessary regulatory legislation. As a possible amendment, he suggested granting limited licenses to juveniles good only for driving to school or use in agricultural activities. AUHS Students To Perform with State Orchestra Phil Taylor, Nancy Lee Cummings, violinists, and Janet Fukuda, bass, have been chosen to represent Anaheim in the All-California high school symphony orchestra sponsored by Santa Barbara State college to be held in Santa Barbara Feb. 29 and March 1 and 2. There 150 musicians representing 65 high schools meet for three days under the direction of nationally known conductor Dr. Richard Lert of Pasadena. The culmination of the intensive rehearsals is a concert in Santa Barbara's Lobero theater. Taylor and Miss Fukuda are seniors; and Miss Cummings is a junior. All three are members of the high school orchestra conducted by Bill Cook. WAGON WHEEL LOOTED Burglars with a thirst broke into the Wagon Wheel bar at 1830 Newport blvd., Costa Mesa, last night and made off with six cases of whiskey valued at $360, according to the owner, Andrew K. Claude of Huntington Beach. Entry to the storeroom of the establishment was gained by smashing a window. NORWALK INMATE FOUND Pable Diaz Mata, 29, 249 Adam st., Santa Ana, was arrested by Santa Ana police late yesterday as an escaped inmate of Norwalk state hospital. He is said to have escaped last Sept. 30. Police accidentally discovered him during a "shake down" of a suspicious car loaded with several Mexicans.

Ohio River Continues to Rise Toward Anticipated Crest of 57.5 Feet CINCINNATI (UP)—Blase residents of the thickly populated metropolitan Cincinnati area paid scant attention today as the flood swollen Ohio river rose steadily toward an anticipated crest of 57.5 feet. That would be five and a half feet above flood stage but persons living here and in adjacent towns in Kentucky and Indiana pointed out that only 15 years ago yesterday the river stage was 70 feet. That was during the 1937 flood when the peak was 80 feet. The serious damage from the flood apparently already has been done—many miles upstream. In its early rampage the river had driven upward of 10,000 persons from their homes and cost the lives of 10 persons. Some time during the day, the muddy stream was to get a personal once over from President Truman. He was to make an aerial survey of the flood area. Cold weather had slowed the river's rise and the U.S. weather Bureau said it had over-estimated the amount of water that would be dumped into the Ohio by its tributaries. The damage, however, figured to be in the millions of dollars. The crest here was expected to be reached early tomorrow. Such a stage would inundate many streets, homes and business houses in the "bottoms" areas both in Cincinnati and in Kentucky towns across the river. A hundred or more persons had been moved from their homes last night and even though no serious trouble was anticipated, disaster units of the Red Cross and the federal government were on hand for rescue work. Truman Feels Nation Unsafe Without Taxes WASHINGTON (UP) — Preside Truman has expressed the view that to try to get along with another tax boost would not "safe." He gave his opinion in a letter made public today by Senator Moody (D-Mich) and Monroe (D-Okla). They had written president on Dec. 30 that they would not be "wise or necessary." In a reply dated Jan. 26, Truman said "the fiscal outlook of government is such that it is safe to forego some increases taxes." "I am sorry that this is case," the president added, "cause I do not like to ask for higher taxes any more than anyone else does. However, we have got job to do and it has to be done." In opposing another general increase, the two Senators gested three alternatives to a boost: 1. Closing of tax loopholes. 2. Seeking additional taxes. Princess and Duke Off on Another Good-Will Tour LONDON (U.P.)—Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh set out today on another long tour, to give new millions in the British Commonwealth their first glimpse of royalty. The slim, 25-year-old princess, who someday will ascend the British throne, goes with her husband this time to three continents—African Kenya, Ceylon, off Asia's southern tip, and "down under" to Australia and New Zealand. Ahead of them are five months and 30,000 miles of visits designed to help hold Britain's shrunken empire together. A true royal sendoff was set for the couple's departure by plane from London airport. King George and Queen Elizabeth arranged to take three-year-old Prince Charles and 17-month-old Princess Anne to the airport to wave goodbye to their traveling parents. Also due at the airport was Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who knows as well as the next man the value of royal tours in holding the commonwealth together. Today's departure for Elizabeth and Philip comes just six weeks after they returned from a 75-day triumphant tour across Canada and back, with a short side visit to President Truman in Washington. On this new trip, they are substituting for the king and queen. The parents' long-planned tour of the Antipodes was cancelled months ago because of the monarch's ill health. March of Dimes Booster Falls Autos Collide in Coastal Fog Collision of two automobiles in a thick fog at 5:20 a.m., today near San Juan Capistrano injured four men, three of them attached to the Armed Forces. Howard V. Stolan, 26, sailor stationed at San Diego, received major injuries when a car he was driving collided with the car of Robert B. Wallace, 28, San Clemente, on Highway 101 north of Oso Creek. Wallace and two Marines, Harry Preflatish, 20, and Vaughn Phardin, 21, both stationed at El Toro, received minor injuries. The Marines and sailor were taken to the El Toro Marine base dispensary. In opposing another general increase, the two Senators suggested three alternatives to a boost: 1. Closing of tax loopholes. 2. Seeking additional speed economies. 3. "Averaging off our fiscal bance in a five year package." On this last point, they said: "The mobilization program is informed, calls for huge penditures for two to three years and, barring a general war, could siderably less military experiences in the following two to three years." March of Dimes Booster Falls Asleep at Work POMONA (AP)—There would be no question of the March of Dimes' success if all its boosters were like Carson Pinkley. Pinkley is a lanky announcer on radio station on KMPO here who bills himself as "the world's ugliest disc jockey." He works a 40-hour week, but tosses in an extra 66 for the March of Dimes. And he understands the need. Now 41, his left arm was hit by infantile paralysis when he was a child. In those days, there was no March of Dimes to help. Pinkley is on the air, on his own time, from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly and 24 hours on Sunday. That's no novelty. Last year, on another station, he claimed a marathon record of 506 hours straight on the drive. He kept it up until he literally fell flat on his face, breaking his arm. His show here includes two programs, "Caffein Patrol" on which he plays only selections accompanied by contributions to his fund, and "Auction Alley," when he sells things listeners send in. Nobody was surprised when Pinkley fell asleep the other night. Listeners called police, who woke Pinkley up and put him back to work. Alfred Robinson of Santa Ana in Jail For Selling Dope Fresh from receiving a six months jail sentence for selling narcotics on the street in Santa Ana, Alfred John Robinson, 52, of Santa Ana, received a second six-months sentence today from Municipal Judge Ronald Crockshank for possession of narcotics without a prescription. Today's sentence was ordered to run consecutively with that of yesterday, so that Robinson faces a year in jail. He had pleaded guilty yesterday to selling phenobarbitol to a man he met on the street across from Santa Ana city hall. He pleaded not guilty to possession of the drug without a prescription and waived a jury trial. Earl Warren's Sister Will Be Broken SACRAMENTO (AP)—Governor Warren's silence on his campaign plans has invited widespread speculation on how he proposes to after the Republican nomination for president. Will he enter primaries in order states? Or will he appeal for support through a series of speeches various parts of the country? The word from one of his visors is that the governor will disclose his pre-convention plan after returning from a Lincoln day speaking engagement in Boston. Warren declared his candidacy 2½ months ago. Ill part of time since then, he has not tr CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY The Weather Calif.-Variable high cloudiness tonight and Friday, with night and morning fog and low clouds near coast. Slightly cooler near the coast, otherwise little change in temperature. ZETTE 1951 5c per Copy — 50c per Month NUMBER 66 Human Feels Protection Unsafe Without Taxes WASHINGTON (UP) — President Clinton has expressed the view that try to get along without tax boost would not be effective his opinion in a letter to public today by Senators (D-Mich) and Monroney (Kla). They had written the motion on Dec. 30 that they believe a tax increase this year will not be "wise or necessary." A reply dated Jan. 26, Truaid "the fiscal outlook of the government is such that it is not to forego some increases in taxes." Allies Propose That Truce Talkers Tackle Another Problem in Korea MUNSAN, Korea (UP) — The Allies today proposed that truce negotiators tackle yet another problem—the final clause of a Korean armistice. This is recommendations to belligerent governments, including ultimate withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea. The communists have been wanting to talk about it since the truce negotiations began. If the reds accept, it would mean every key armistice problem would be under discussion simultaneously in a three-tent performance. Negotiators have been deadlocked for weeks on agenda items three and four, supervision of a truce and exchange of prisoners. But Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, senior Allied delegate, suggested simultaneous negotiations on item five in an effort to speed the signing of a truce. Truman Denounces McCarthy as a Character Assassin WASHINGTON (UP) — President Truman today denounced Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) as pathological and as a character assassin. The president let go at the Wisconsin Senator at a news conference in response to questions about McCarthy's Senate speech earlier this week on Phillee Nash, a special White House assistant. McCarthy said Nash, a special assistant concerned with minority problems, had close associations with communists in the 1940's. Nash denied it. Snapping back, the president Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, official U.N. spokesman, said he believes the reds also plan to present a recommendation for am sorry that this is the president added, "be-I do not like to ask for high-axes any more than anyone does.

McCarthy said Nash, a special assistant concerned with minority problems, had close associations with communists in the 1940's. Nash denied it. Snapping back, the president referred to the Wisconsin Senator as the pathological Mr. McCarthy. He said the attack on Nash was the same kind of attack McCarthy has made on all government workers he does not like. A reporter recalled McCarthy said FBI reports linked Nash with communist associates and asked the president if the FBI did have such reports. Truman responded with a question: Does he (McCarthy) ever tell the truth? And he added that if McCarthy does, he (the presi- dent) does not know it. troops from Korea. The U.N. re-fused to consider troop withdrawal as part of an armistice, but finally agreed to consider such a recommendation to governments involved in the Korean war. The question then would be settled on a higher political level. Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, official U.N. spokesman, said he believes the reds also plan to present a recommendation for final settlement of the Korean question at a higher level. He declined to say whether the Allies would submit recommendations if a third tent is set up at Panmunjom. In a letter to North Korean Gen. Nam Il, Joy suggested that if the reds are willing to start talking about item five now, they draw up a detailed working draft for the subcommittee to use as a basis of discussion. Joy pointed out that the U.N. already has supplied drafts on truce supervision and prisoner exchange, and item five was initiated by the communists.

Girl Warren’s Silence on GOP Plans Will Be Broken After Boston Speech CIRCAMENTO (UP)—Governor Warren’s silence on his campaign has invited widespread speculation on how he proposes to go the Republican nomination president. He enter primaries in otherties? Will he appeal for support through a series of speeches in parts of the country? The word from one of his ad is that the governor will use his pre-convention plans returning from a Lincoln’s speaking engagement in Boston. Warren declared his candidacy months ago. Ill part of the since then, he has not tried to keep up with the Tafts or Stassens—or the supporters of General Eisenhower. His aides say this does not mean he will not make a serious bid to head the GOP ticket. They predict he’ll be more active than he was in 1948; when he came away as the party’s choice for vice president. The governor has said he is considering going into primaries in Wisconsin (April 1) and Oregon (May 17), and that he’ll stay out of Ohio in deference to Senator Taft. He already has let it be known that there will be no national Warren-for-President headquartered on Page 6. Although sub-zero readings were reported in northern Maine they were above yesterday’s low marks which included -31 in Presque Isle. It was -20 at Rumford and -10 at Caribou today.

Mild weather continued in southern Texas and readings were near normal in the western states. Showers were reported today in the Rocky Mountain states and along the Pacific Coast from Northern California northward. Partly cloudy or clear weather prevailed in other areas. RUNAWAY GIRLS FOUND Two girls from San Diego county came into the Anaheim station yesterday and upon checking the Sheriff’s report, local officers found that they were the two runaway girls from Lemon Grove. Both are 13-years of age and both are being returned to their families. $295 DAMAGE CAUSED Vandals caused damage estimated at $295 to the parked automobile of Duane D.
