Price, as defendants. The complaint did not indicate that they were making any claim to the property, which is located at Second and Avocado streets, Newport Beach.

However, O. A. Knight, president of the Oil Workers International Union (CIO), largest in the coalition, said in Denver he regretted the WSB's action at this time. Knight said it threatens several negotiations he termed promising. Knight also disclosed that striking oil workers and the Defense department have agreed on procedures to keep essential petroleum products flowing to the Armed Services. All Army, Navy and Air Force requests for release of essential oil products from strikebound plants must be sent to the department. It will screen them and then relay those it approves to Knight's headquarters in Denver.

Taft, Kefauver Take Leads After Ohio Primary Vote By The Associated Press Ohio voters pushed Senators Robert Taft and Estes Kefauver into the lead today in the primary kirmishing for delegates to the Republican and Democratic national conventions. Tennessee's Kefauver had to be content, however, with an even split in the two big primary contests yesterday. His unbroken string of victories was snapped in Florida, where the south's favorite son, Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia, won a close popularity test. Taft scored a clean sweep in his home state, adding 56 delegates to his total and moving ahead of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower in the see-saw struggle for Republican convention delegates. Bucking the Democratic organ-final vote of 28, better than half the state's 54-vote delegation. The Tennessee entered only a partial slate against a favorite son candidate, former Sen. Robert Bulkley, who defeated Kefauver in only four direct contests. The Bulkley slate picked up 22 delegates in uncontested districts. The Ohio victory moved Kefauver into first place among Democratic candidates ahead of W. Averell Harriman, Mutual Security administrator, who had been the front runner in delegate strength, according to an Associated Press survey of delegates pledged, instructed, favorable, willing to state a first ballot preference, or conceded by candidated. The flash, occurring at 5:15 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (7:15 a.m. Eastern Standard Time), appeared as a "quick blink" in Los Angeles, 250 miles away. An atomic cloud became visible above the mountains between here and Yucca Flat, but it disappeared quickly. There were no apparent effects from the blast here. No shock was felt and there was no sound. Eleven residents of Groom mine, 20 miles northeast of the firing area, were moved out last night. They won't return until radiation monitoring crews report the mine area safe. Atomic Energy commission aldes had warned residents of St. George, Utah, 125 miles north of here, and of Caliente, Nev., 163 miles northeast, to be prepared for a shock from the A-blast. AEC scientists expected to make vital comparisons between this test and the first five held at the Nevada site in early 1951. All of those shots were in the dark. Since then all explosions have come at dawn or later. Dr. Alvin C. Graves, test director, says a darkness explosion is easier to record photographically. This is important from the standpoint of scientific measurements. Red Cross Workers Thanked for Flood Drive Efforts Gen. Mark Clark Reports in Tokyo For Far East Duty TOKYO (AP)—Gen. Mark W. Clark arrived today to take over Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's posts United Nations and U.S. commander in the Far East. Ridgway will leave Monday to succeed Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as NATO commander in Europe. Clark said he would "do everything in my power to bring about honorable armistice in Korea." Only two hours earlier, Ridgway announced the communists had re-attached the U.N. commander's "final promise" on a Korean armistice agreement. Thus Clark steps into the lowest crisis of the ten months since negotiations. WASHINGTON (AP)—Announced S. battle casualties in Korea reached 108,172 today, an increase 207 since last week. The Ohio victory moved Kefauver into first place among Democratic candidates ahead of W. Averell Harriman, Mutual Security administrator, who had been the front runner in delegate strength, according to an Associated Press survey of delegates pledged, instructed, favorable, willing to state a first ballot preference, or conceded by candidated. Today's tally gave Kefauver 100½ and Harriman 93½. EISENHOWER, who was not entered in Ohio, was leading Taft, 284-281, according to the AP poll, before the Ohio returns. Taft's campaign leaders claim more delegates. They said he now has 404 delegates to 280 for the general. Florida delegates were not chosen yesterday. Another primary is set in that state for May 27, with both Russell and Kefauver expected to put on another campaign. Russell gained most of his strength in the farm areas while Kefauver ran strongly in the cities. The Georgia Senator moved ahead shortly after midnight and continued to widen his margin, which was running about 25,000 votes ahead of Kefauver. TRAFFIC INJURY Earl Claude Jacobs, US Navy man from South Murray, Utah, is in Anaheim Community hospital today with a head injury incurred when he drove his motorcycle into the plate glass window of Walberg's dress shop at 181 W. Center st., Anaheim, at 12:39 a.m. today. Dr. Alvin C. Graves, test director, says a darkness explosion is easier to record photographically. This is important from the standpoint of scientific measurements. Red Cross Workers Thanked for Flood Drive Efforts Joe R. Thompson, chairman of Anaheim chapter of the Red Cross today publicly thanked members of Anaheim organizations who pushed the local drive for relief funds for Midwest flood victims. His message follows: "The Anaheim chapter of the Red Cross thanks Co-chairmen Mrs. Lucille Wilson and Miss Frieda Jansa for co-ordinating in an efficient manner the Flood Relief Fund Drive last Friday and Saturday in Anaheim. "The presidents of the several organizations, including Junior Ebell, Altrusa, Business and Professional Women, Assistance League, Doreas Society of Zion Lutheran, and the Colonial Coeds of Anaheim High school, are asked to thank their members and all individuals solicited by them who participated in this program of 'people helping people' in the name of Red Cross.

Any individuals or firms wishing to help our own fund drive and flood relief fund may send in their check to local Red Cross headquarters in City Hall, Anaheim."
