VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Open Houses in Anaheim Schools Attended by 5000 More than 5000 Anaheim parents visited the Anaheim elementary schools and high school during Public Schools Week, which ends this evening with an open house and operetta at Abraham Lincoln school. School officials believe the crowds were by far the largest ever to observe the education week in Anaheim. By this evening, more than 2500 parents will have visited the grade schools and junior high. The visitors were provided the opportunity to talk with teachers in the classrooms, see examples of the practical results of class room instruction, and to look over the books used in the schools. At the invitation of the schools, a number of the parents took the books home to read more thoroughly. In addition, each pupil took various of the school books home in the evenings during the week for the parents to see. Paul Cook, superintendent of schools, said the teachers and school officials found a large number of the parents had read the books carefully and apparently were glad the books had been brought to their attention as part of Anaheim's observance of the schools week. Veteran teachers and school officials said the turnout of parents was the largest in the history of the schools and they expressed themselves as "delighted" at the interest shown in the schools by Anaheim men and women.

For instance, Macloghlin pointed out, one man is known who purchased a membership for $6 and then attended all 58 concerts presented throughout the Southland—and, he was within his rights. Other Anaheimers working with Macloghlin on the membership campaign include Mrs. Esther Kempet, Mrs. Leonard Jones, Dr. Howard Tews, Mrs. Kate McCullih, Mrs. Margaret Buttles, Miss Ruth Swanson, Mrs. Fred Lamper, Mrs. Eleanor Sanford, Miss Jane Deming, Mrs. Clara Faust, Mrs. Elsie Denner, Mrs. Agnes Zinda and Miss Margaret Cruikshank. Two Cafes, One Piggy Bank Looted Two Costa Mesa cafes were entered by burglaries last night, one yielding $150 worth of loot, and a Costa Mesa plumber was arrested and charged with a burglary in Santa Ana. Jack Trobasco, owner of a cafe at 447 Newport blvd., Costa Mesa, told the sheriff's office that burglaries had rified his cash register, a cigarette vending machine and a juke box, obtaining $150. No loot was taken in burglary of the Clarence C. Brown cafe at 1600 Newport blvd., Costa Mesa, where burglaries forced entry through a window. Calvin Ray Mayfield, 44-year-old Costa Mesa plumber was taken into custody by Santa Ana police who claimed he was the burglar who stole a piggy bank and contents from the home of number of memberships in Anaheim have been far exceeded, General Chairman John Macloghlin reported today. "Anaheim has responded with enthusiasm to this appeal to bring the finest in culture to this city," Macloghlin said, "and it is the intention of this association that the finest talent will be available here this fall."

Baseball Scores National League CHICAGO (UP)—Chicago's Omar (Turk) Lown, hurled no hit ball for eight innings, but was jolted for sharp hits on his first two pitches in the ninth and finally yielded three runs for a 3-1 defeat by the Brooklyn Dodgers today. American League BOSTON (UP)—The Boston Red Sox outsugged the St. Louis Browns, 13 to 6, before 4106 chilled fans here today to put a crimp were glad the books had been brought to their attention as part of Anaheim's observance of the schools week. Veteran teachers and school officials said the turnout of parents was the largest in the history of the schools and they expressed themselves as "delighted" at the interest shown in the schools by Anaheim men and women. Last Monday night, another 2500 parents visited Anaheim High school where they toured the classrooms and special facilities of the school and talked to the teachers and school officials. On display were the books and materials used in classroom discussion. Some 1200 of the visitors viewed the high school operetta "Good News" in the school auditorium. LAS VEGAS, Nev.—MARINES Wrines taking part in the atom Grounds northeast of here today mushroom floats skyward. Vert fired from the ground for m photo by Associated Pess Wirep Marines Take 'Ro Blast; Accept Bone By BILL BECKER CAMP DESERT ROCK, Nev.—More than 2000 Marines have taken the roughest buffeting ever dished out to troops by an atomic bomb, but the majority seems sold on the bomb as a friend in the field. The fiery, low-level burst on Yucca flat yesterday decimated much of their equipment within 900 yards of ground zero, but the two picked combat battalions came charging out of their foxholes on signal from their maneuver commander, Brig. Gen. Joseph C. Burger of Camp Pendleton, Calif. While high ground radiation kept troops from moving to ground zero, Gen. Burger said that "in a battlefield situation we would have had no fear of going through." The advance was halted within 500 yards of the target, which was surrounded with burning planes, trucks and smashed machine—guns—showing graphically what would have happened to the enemy. Oil Strike Brings Gas Rationing To Different Parts of Country DENVER (AP)—The continuing strike of 22 AFL, independent and CIO oil workers' unions today threatened further shortages of gasoline for the nation's motorists, truckers and air transport. So far, the three-day-old strike of refinery and pipeline workers for a wage increase has brought voluntary rationing of gasoline to motorists in Boston; filling station pumps are running dry in the Chicago-Gary area; pickets halted gasoline deliveries to stations in Toledo, O. Government officials said a prolonged strike would bring on a major shortage of gasoline if the 45-day supply on hand is cut in half. The Petroleum Administration for Defense ordered deliveries of some petroleum products prohibited to dealers or big consumers with more than 10 days' supply available in 17 eastern states. Export of some major petroleum products was banned. Shipments from Pacific coast states, shipments to Canada and aviation gasoline were exempted. The president of the American Truck Associations, Walter F. Mullady, said if highway freight transport is immobilized by a lack of fuel, "the supports could be knocked from under our whole standard of living." He said the milk supply for 69 million in the nation's 75 largest cities would be shut off. California may be caught up in the strike after negotiations in San Francisco between representatives of the Oil Workers International Union (CIO) of Denver and Shell Oil reached a stalemate. The unions are seeking a pay hike of 25 cents hourly and increased night shift differentials. Traffic Death Called Accidental No responsibility was fixed by a coroner's jury at an inquest yesterday in the Coffey-Eudaly mortuary, Orange, in the case of Mrs. Dessa Pearl Linan, 52, 237 W. Almond ave., Orange, who died April 25, one day following a Santa Ana traffic crash. The jury verdict called her death "accidental." Mrs. Linam was fatally injured when a car in which she was riding with Mrs. Frances Pollard, 61, of Orange, collided with a heavy truck operated by Frederick W. Holleey, 39, of Compton, at the junction of Santa Ana blvd. and Main st., Santa Ana. Another coroner's jury sat yesterday at an inquest in the case of George S. Soesbe, 41, Huntington Beach, killed in a traffic crash April 25, near that city. That jury, too, did not fix responsibility. NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1952 Secret Korean Session F To Bring Deadlock Solut MUNSAN, Korea (P)—Communist negotiators today refused to agree to a United Nations command package proposal for settling the Korean armistice deadlock. The red reply was given in a secret full dress session of armistice delegations. The chief negotiators scheduled another meeting for tomorrow at 11 a.m. (9 p.m. Friday EST). This gave rise to speculation the communists may have offered a compromise plan. But Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief United Nations delegate, and Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, NUS spokesman, refused to say what happened in the 78-minute session at Panmunjom. "I regret I have no comment to make," Joy said. Nuckols told newsmen it was "obvious that no agreement was reached." Chief problems blocking an armistice are how to exchange prisoners of war, Russian participation in truce supervision, and rehabilitation of military airfields during a truce. Nuckols said North Korean Gen. accredited to the United command, made their first Panmunjom.

Edward D from taking picture of the munist truce delegation, photographer tried to snatch Gen. William P. Nuckols Allied correspondents. An American military man ordered him away. The munist stood on a chair and continued snapping pictures M.P. shook him off the chin. The communist picked chair and waved it over then took a second look M.P.—and set down gently. Security officers huddledly and agreed to bar communications and newsmen from engaging within hearing distance. MAS, Nev.—MARINES WATCH ATOM TEST—U. S.

Staff Sgt. Edward L. Speck, 34, Tuckertown, N. J., said he saw stand-in dummies blown 150 yards and burned to a crisp a half mile from the target. Speck, a Korean veteran in charge of a machinegun company from Camp Lejeune, N.C., said some of the guns were still usable, but "200 yards from ground zero they were smashed to bits." He added: "I think it would be a good idea to try a few of these bombs in Korea." Gen. Burgher said only: "it is an outstanding weapon, but it still has not taken the place of the rifleman." Rescuers Say All 50 Persons "I regret I have no comment to make," Joy said. Nuckols told newsmen it was "obvious that no agreement was reached." Chief problems blocking an armistice are how to exchange prisoners of war. Russian participation in truce supervision, and rehabilitation of military airfields during a truce. Nuckols said North Korean Gen. Nam II, the reds' No. 1 negotiator, did most of the talking. It was the first meeting of the main armistice delegations since they recessed Monday to permit the communists time to study the Allied plan. Asked if the discussion was on the basis of the Allied "overall solution" Nuckols replied "that is the only topic for discussion." Later, however, he called newsmen together to correct what he called an "erroneous impress" that no other topic was discussed. Asked if the reds had submitted a counterproposal, Nuckols said: "I cannot answer that, obviously." The secrecy cloaking the meetings was imposed at the request of the Allies. PANMUNJOM, Korea (P)—The communists today snubbed Japanese newsmen on their first visit to the Korean truce talks. Nine Japanese correspondents, Cifrus Market Sunkist Growers, Inc., reported today all auction markets California were lower navals.

From Fat to Fur Is Woman's Plane Mrs. Gertrude Nellie Rescuers Say All 50 Persons On Wrecked Airliner Killed BELEM, Brazil (UP)—Aerial rescue teams reported last night a luxurious Pan American airliner apparently was burning even before it crashed Tuesday in dense Brazilian jungle. Their leaders wrote off as dead all 50 persons the plane carried. Maj. Richard Olney ordered his U.S. Air Force rescue unit from Puerto Rico to end its mission without parachuting to the site or trying to recover the bodies because it would endanger the lives of the rescuers. Pan American officials in Rio de Janerio also decided not to attempt reaching the wreckage by air but said they would organize a land expedition. A Brazilian air force Catalina—a flying-boat patrol plane—planned, however, to land Brazilian medical rescue corpsmen on a river about 40 miles from the scene today in the hope they could hack through the nearly impenetrable growths. The airliner's crew of nine and 10 of the 41 passengers were Americans. The airliner—making one of Pan American World Airways "El Presidente" trips from South America—took off from Rio de Janeiro shortly after dark Monday for a 12-hour night flight to Port of Spain, Trinidad, its only remaining stop before New York. The plane reported by radio that all was well as it passed west of Barreiras, a mid-Brazilian town, shortly after midnight. The wreckage was discovered less than an hour's flight beyond the position given in its final report. Observers with powerful glasses circled the wreckage at low altitude and offered the opinion the plane—named the Clipper Good Hope—had exploded at low altitude. Parts of the motors of the powerful, four-engined stratocruiser—a double-decked passenger development from the B-29 bomber—were scattered a quarter of a mile apart. Charred chunks of wreckage were strewn for half a mile over both sides of a ridge.

Session Fails Block Solution Accredited to the United Nations command, made their first trip to Ammunium. The Japanese newsmen said they were particularly interested in learning the attitude of the communists in view of Moscow's recent friendly overtures to Japan. But the communists pointedly refused to talk to the Japanese. Only a few minutes after red guards stopped an army photographer, Sgt. Edward Doyle, Jr., from taking pictureers of the communist truce delegation, a red photographer tried to snap Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols briefing correspondents. An American military policeman ordered him away. The communist stood on a chair and continued snapping pictures. The L.P. shook him off the chair. The communist picked up the chair and waved it over his head, then took a second look at the L.P.—and set down the chairently. Security officers huddled briefly and agreed to bar correspondents and newsmen from approaching within hearing distance of the conference tent during meetings.

Army photo via radio and Associated Press Wirephoto) Murray Calls Off Striking Unions; Washington Meet Set STEEL AT A GLANCE Philip Murray calls off steel strike at personal request of President Truman, agrees to White House conference between union, industry and president. Both government and steel industry appeals to Supreme court on Truman constitutional power to seize steel mills. Striking steelworkers call Murray's "go to work" order, begin disbanding picket lines. First steel shanty factory workers return to production with men back at work within two hours of Murray order. About 35,000 workers in allied industries, like railroads, still idle but waiting recall orders. PITTSBURGH (UP)—Phillip Murray called off the nationwide strike of his CIO United Steel-workers today at President Truman's personal request. The first returning workers were back at their jobs within two hours at plants of the Allegheny Ludlum Steel corp. Other steel companies expected to be close behind. Picket lines began disbanding as the Murray "go back to work" order filtered down to the local union level. In some cases picket lines stood fast when their work return orders were slow in reaching local union officers. PITTSBURGH (UP) — President Benjamin F. Fairless of U.S. Steel Corp., wired President Truman today that he will be on hand tomorrow for a White House conference with Philip Murray and five other steel company presidents. Truman wants to talk over the issues holding up a settlement of the steel wage-grip dispute, U.S. Steel largest producer of them all, usually sets the pattern in steel industry wage talks. Murray, president of the CIO and the striking CIO United Steel-workers, messaged Truman: "I have urged the members of the United Steelworkers to return to work as soon as possible in the plants involved in our dispute with the steel Industry." The grey-haired labor leader left immediately for Washington to take part in a three way White House conference between Truman, Murray and the presidents of six large steel companies. Murray expressed confidence the men will be quick to resume production of steel vitally needed for defense and essential civilian users. First predictions were that the industry could be back at a near-normal level by Sunday night. GOP, Demo Rivals Continue Intra-Party Fights; Truman in Act, Too GOP, Demo Rivals Continue Intra-Party Fights; Truman in Act, Too POLITICS TODAY Senator Russell campaigns in Florida at Jacksonville. Senator Kefauver in Florida. Harold Stassen in Ohio at Dayton and Cleveland. Senator Taft in Ohio at Mansfield, Bowling Green, Toledo. Senator Kerr in Birmingham, Ala. By The Associated Press Democrats and Republicans had fresh sparks flying from each of their hottest rivalries today and President Truman tossed in a little tinder of his own. 1—Gen. Dwight Eisenhower picked up eight new delegates in Republican district conventions in Missouri. This put the general, for the first time, ahead of Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio in the Associated Press tabulation of pre-convention delegate strength, 278 to 274. 2—Florida Gov. Fuller Warren has agreed to meet Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee in debate Monday night at Miami. Kefauver, who has swapped words with the governor ever since his Senate crime committee tred in vain to call Warren as a witness, wants the debate limited to a half-hour each. Warren insists on no time limit. 3—Russell, in a Jacksonville speech, took Kefauver to task for his stand on a fair employment practices commission (FEPC), which would bar job discrimination because of race. 4—At Cincinnati, Kefauver told friends he could not fill Ohio engagements made for him and was returning to Florida to campaign. 5—Taft told a reporter in Akron he "would not turn down an invitation" to debate with Eisenhower, returning about June 1 from his Allied defense command in Europe. Taft added, however, he feels debates are more appropriate to general elections than to primaries. At his news conference, President Truman said he definitely is not interested in renomination. Of McMahon's candidacy, he said the Senator is qualified for the presidency. Truman also had a word for Eisenhower, labeling untrue any reports that the general is sick and saying he is as fine as ever he was.
