(P) — Two Marine corps battalions got their first taste of atomic fire today from a brilliant A-bomb bursting low over Yucca Flat. The bomb produced the most sustained fire ball seen by observers in a Nevada daylight explosion—somewhere from 10 to 12 seconds. The explosion, however, appeared to be unusually concentrated and did not produce a cloud as spectacular or high as several previous blasts. The 2150 Marines, dug in in foxholes and trenches less than four miles from ground zero, the target area, came through their test uninjured, preliminary reports indicated. Two Anaheim men were among the Marines huddled in foxholes four miles from Ground Zero (the point directly beneath the exploding bomb). They are Cpl. Jack L. Marolf, son of Mrs. Gertrude Marolf, 23 Kroeger st., Anaheim, and Pfc. William A. Lane, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. William Lane of 1302 E. Santa Ana st., Anaheim. The bomb was detonated about 2000 feet above the flat. It was released by an Air Force B-50 from Kirtland Air Force base, Albuquerque, N.M., from an elevation of perhaps 30,000 feet. The Marines were in the same positions occupied by Army troops last week, but with the burst some 1500 feet lower they undoubtedly felt more heat. They also received a good jolt. Observers on Mt. Charleston, 50 miles away, received a sound wave and an echo five minutes after the blast, but no perceptible shock. The impact of the bomb on ground zero raised a dust column which joined the nuclear cloud within 30 seconds—in sharp connection where the cloud hung isolated for minutes. The fire ball's brilliance impressed press and civilian defense observers on Mt. Charleston, but the cloud and the column did not appear to rise more than 20,000 or 25,000 feet, whereas others have towered to 30,000 and 40,000. Nor did the base of the column appear as wide as several in the past. The cloud and column were (Continued on Page 8) Picnic Scheduled for Junior Fire Dept.; Fire Chief Praises Program Several hundred Anaheim boys and girls were looking forward today to the forthcoming picnic in City park sponsored by the Anaheim Fire department for badgeholders in the Junior Fire department. The local fire prevention program was begun early in January of this year and is carried on in the sixth grades of the local public and parochial schools. Plans for the picnic scheduled for 1 p.m., May 24, include welnerbake and an afternoon of games and activities sponsored by the Anaheim Fire department. During the four months the fire prevention program has been in effect, fire loss has been reduced to an all-time low, according to Chief Ed Stringer of the local department. "More than 1500 fire correction slips have been returned by students in the seven schools handling the program," Stringer said. The program is being coordinated in the schools by James Wilson of the local department in cooperation with Chief Stringer and City Karen King, rising young wood Star accompanied by agent Sam Armstrong.

The vote denying a plea from major steel companies that the court enjoin Secretary of Commerce Sawyer from doing anything about wages and working conditions was the same as that by which the court last night returned the steel plants to government control. Only a few minutes before the court decision was announced, Sawyer had said in a statement he did not intend to take any "precipitate" action about wages. The government manager of the steel mills said the situation was so fluid that "the employees and I myself, and the operators too, are at the moment in a revolving door. We are neither coming in nor going out." Sawyer also called in his statement for: 1. New negotiations by the industry and the CIO steelworkers union looking toward a bargained settlement of their differences. Alienists Named To Check Sanity Of Aparicio Prosecution of Julio Aparicio, 59, of Atwood, who was once convicted of murdering his friend, Santana Acosta, 57, and received a death sentence, will commence all over again this month. The State Supreme court, on automatic appeal from the death sentence sent the case back to Orange county for more than $200,000. Engineers Submit $3 Million For Sanitation Treatment Plan Preliminary plans for the proposed new treatment plant for the county sanitation program together with principal trunk lines connecting there, were submitted to the district directors last evening by the design engineers, who estimated a cost of slightly more than $3 million for one plan and slightly less than that sum for an alternate plan. The plans submitted by the consulting firm of Ken Harrison and Jack Woolley, of Santa Ana, with John Carollo, of the associated firm, Headman, Ferguson and Carollo, Phoenix, Ariz., were referred to Raymond R. Ribal, chief engineer and general manager of the joint sanitation districts. Ribal will study them and report to the directors May 14. Their estimate of total cost of plans for the treatment plant and five main connecting trunk lines was $3,190,780, using present costs for constructing the original plan of Engineer Vinton Bacon in 1948, upon which the $8,308,000 sewer bonds were based. An alternate plan, using modifications of the Bacon plan suggested by the design engineers, was estimated to cost $2,988,700, an estimated saving of more than $200,000. Barbara R.

The State Supreme court, on automatic appeal from the death sentence sent the case back to Orange county for a new trial ruling that the earlier procedure of convicting him first and then finding him sane, should have been reversed. Presiding Judge K. E. Morrison in Superior court at Santa Ana yesterday appointed Dr. Hyman Tucker, head of Norwalk State hospital, and Dr. Harold E. Day, Santa Ana psychiatrist, to examine Aparicio and report on his sanity to the court May 15. at which time a hearing will be conducted. If Aparicio is again pronounced legally sane, the date of his second murder trial will be set at that time. In 1949, when Aparicio was charged with assault, psychiatrists declared him legally sane, but he was committed to Patten State hospital on the testimony of relatives and friends. He entered the institution Feb. 15, 1950, and was released there the following Sept. 15 as sane. The assault charge was dismissed. In court, Aparicio told the jury that Acosta was in league with enemies who were trying to get Aparicio's property away from him. At his insanity trial, Aparcio refused counsel and told the jury not to find him insane, because he knew what he was doing. Three prisoners captured by sheriff's officers in Santa Ana yesterday following a $500 market robbery at Costa Mesa were turned over to the Los Angeles county sheriff's substation at Norwalk for prosecution in connection with a robbery of a liquor store there. David Keith, 30, his brother, Ralph Keith, 21, and Jerry Roman, 22, were said to have admitted the Costa Mesa robbery and several others in Orange county including the Hideout cafe on Euclid ave., near Anaheim, and Hunts grocery at Lincoln ave. and Hwy 89. However, they were released to the Los Angeles county authorities for prosecution of the Norwalk robbery charge, where it was stated that a victim had been shot by the bandits.

(P9)—Wreckage of a missing Pan American world airways luxury stratocruiser was sighted near Carolina, Brazil, today and reports said there was no sign of any survivors. The plane disappeared April 29 with 50 persons aboard, 19 of them Americans. PAA officials in Miami said messages indicated the aircraft had split in two and burned. The wreckage was spotted by a searching PAA C-46 type cargo plane in the vicinity of Carolina, some 400 miles southeast of Belem. Carolina is a river port of about 3500 population and has a large airfield. The stratocruiser apparently was heading there when it went down. The $1,250,000 craft disappeared on a flight from Buenos Aires to New York. Scores of search planes have been covering a vass area of jungle and plateauland in an effort to locate it. MAY DAY PIOT—This semi-general view shows rioters in Tokyo throwing rocks and sticks at policemen in a May Day anti-American demonstration. Three times they stormed 1000 steel-helded police. The police beat back the human waves of rock-throwing, club-wielding rioters with tear gas, clubs and guns fired into the ground. At least 100 persons were injured. Some were Americans.—(Associated Press Wirephoto via radio from Tokyo) Bloody Red-Leftist Riots Carolina is a river port of about 3500 population and has a large airfield. The stratocruiser apparently was heading there when it went down. The $1,250,000 craft disappeared on a flight from Buenos Aires to New York. Scores of search planes have been covering a vass area of jungle and plateauland in an effort to locate it. The plane was last reported somewhere between Barreiras in mid Brazil, and Carolina, about 300 miles north. PAA officials said Carolina is on the Tocantins river due south of Belem and about 1100 miles north and slightly west of Rio de Janeiro. Bloody Red-Leftist Riots Mark May Day Celebration By The Associated Press Riots, strikes and rival demonstrations by communists and non-communists flared around the world this May Day as the workers of the world—far from united—showed their colors and shouted their creeds in the cold war. Tokyo was blooded with violent riots. Tense Berlin, guarded by police and troops, staged rival demonstrations with the opposing factions in sight of each other. Far East Prime Minister Shinzo Abe authenticated pro-red celebrations by appearing at Lenin's tomb to watch Soviet might troop through Red square. MAY WEATHER What's the weather outlook for May? The Weatherman, in a note to newspapers, says he expects the following conversation will be typical over his telephones in Los Angeles for the coming month: "No . . . it is not going to rain. It just looks like it." "Yes . . . the sun will shine this afternoon at the beach." "No . . . it is not unusual for the sun to come out so late. The trouble is your clock is one hour ahead of nature." In general, the forecaster said, it will be cloudy mornings and partly cloudy afternoons, with sudden hot spells unlikely. There should be a little rain, probably enough to make this season the fourth wettest on record in Los Angeles. Registered Voters New York readied a parade down Eighth avenue with 1800 police and detectives alerted to watch. But Louis Weinstock, organizer of the combined communist and leftist demonstration, was slated for another day in court where he is on trial with 15 other secondary red leaders. Singapore was a contrast. About 5000 Chinese, Indians and Malays observed the international labor holiday by saying prayers for the dead of the two world wars. In Tokyo, thousands of communists, swinging clubs and throwing rocks, burst through police lines upon a peaceable non-red crowd of 300,000. Witnesses said more than 1000 persons—some of them Americans—were injured. Two American speakers—socialist Norman Thomas and the president of the American Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, J. Philip Randolph—treated from Meiji Park in Tokyo without having a chance to address the non-red workers. Communists stoned the Dai Ichi building, until recently Allied occupation headquarters. More tried to cram into the forbidden plaza before the imperial palace. Police drove them back with clubs and tear gas. Americans were shoved and hit by rocks. Two U.S. sailors were thrown into the palace most. The wife of a Navy man was mauled. Two American photographers were roughed up and one was stoned three times. Twelve American-owned automobiles were overturned and burned. American children were sent home early and told to stay in "HANSEL AND GRETEL" OPERETTA FRIDAY "Hansel and Gretel" by Humperdinck, an operetta beloved by young and old, will be presented Friday at Lincoln school's Open House program at 7:30, by the combined fifth and sixth grades, directed by Mrs. Cecilia Barnes and Wilford Edelbrock. Registered Voters Increase by 9000 In Orange County Reflecting considerable population growth in Orange county during the last year and a half, increasing of nearly 9000 voters since the general election of 1950 was shown in registration figures announced today. The new total, 112,551, is a record. The 1950 general election total was 103,612, the record high up to that time. Republicans widened their margin over the Democrats in the new registration figures reported by Lillian Angle, heading the registration department of the county clerk's office. There are 58,452 Republicans and 49,986 Democrats, giving the GOP a lead of 8466. The Republics were ahead only 1652 in November, 1950 general election, when the count was 50,525 Republicans and 48,873 Democrats. Democrats gained 1113 since November, 1950, while Republicans gained 7927. Figures for the primary election of 1950 gave Republicans 47,441 and Democrats 45,782, a lead of 1659, and a total of 97,372, which is 15,179 below the registration for this year's primary. Robeson Denied Use Of SF Opera House SAN FRANCISCO (F)—Barred from singing in this city's war memorial opera house, baritone Paul Robeson will give a May 22 concert in the 1800-seat auditorium of the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Negro church. The opera house trustees refused a permit for the concert after Mayor Elmar Robinson denounced Robeson, an admirer of Russia, as a "consort of communists."
