Extensive County Highway Building Plan is Proposed Approving a road building program proposed by the Associated Chambers of Commerce, the county supervisors today were preparing to submit the project to the state highway commission at a meeting scheduled July 17. Supervisor Heinz Kaiser, Costa Mesa, and Road Commissioner Harold Sprenger, representing the county that day, will be joined on the following day by Supervisor Willard Smith of Orange, president of the State Association of County Supervisors. The highway projects proposed include: widening and resurfacing. Budget Near Half-Million Directors of Orange County Water district today had approved a tentative budget of $415,542 for the 1952-53 fiscal year. The sum includes $330,000 for the purchase of Colorado river water. At $10 per acre foot, it would provide $3,000 acre feet of water for the depleted local supply. The district has a contract with MWD to purchase up to 30,000 acre feet at that price. In addition, the district will have approximately $33,000 from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company and Anaheim Union Water Co., to apply on the purchase of water, making a total of $356,000 available for that purpose. The water company payments represent compensation to the water district from the water companies for Colorado river water use. Payments are based upon savings in pumping and operating costs effected by the water companies. A check for $23,554 from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. was accepted by the board Wednesday, representing 1951 payment. The $415,542 budget will be raised from a 15-cent tax levy, the district's limit, a reserve of $117,000 carried over, and income from the water companies, sand and gravel leases on the Santa Ana river, and payments from gun clubs for water they use. The gun clubs are required to pay at a double rate for their water. Only four of them probably will operate this season, though a fifth may be using water, Secretary W. D. Miller reported. Those operating will be on a reduced basis. Once there were more than a score of the clubs in the county.

City’s Most Beautiful Girls Vie For ‘Miss Anaheim’ Title Sunday League of Cities Sets Uniform Annexation Fees If you want to get your property annexed to a city, it will do you no good to shop around, or call for bids, so far as Orange county is concerned. The boys got together last night and talked about a uniform price for annexation. At the Orange County League of Cities executive board meeting in Santa Ana last night, it was tentatively agreed to make a uniform charge against subdivisions or other areas seeking annexation to cities. "They don't pay their freight, so far as paying taxes is concerned," Mayor Charles Pearson of Anaheim, told the group. "Their taxes do not cover the cost of giving them municipal service." Charges to annexed subdivisions are expected to include allocation of their share of the city's bonded debt and paid-up assets. Charges also will be made for new subdivisions created within the cities, on the same theory, it was tentatively agreed. Uniformity of city and county building standards will be sought, likewise, by the League, it was decided upon the suggestion of Mayor Hugh Warden of Fullerton. The League will launch a study of that question, it was said.

Dwight D. Eisenhower took the Republican presidential nomination today. He crashed through to a first ballot victory. And the weary GOP legions, having made their great decision between the five-star general and Sen. Robert A. Taft, took a recess while their nominee pondered who he wants for a running mate. Some of those close to the general said there were signs pointing toward Sen. Richard Nixon of California as a “top possibility” but others also were being talked. Eisenhower’s victory, fashioned from a pattern of toe-to-toe battling all week with the Taft forces, was a smashing one in the end. He was nine votes short of the 604 needed for the nomination when the clerk had finished tell HAROLD E. STASSEN cast the die today which gave Gen. Ike Eisenhower his first-ballot win for nomination as Republican candidate for president. New Effort Begun To Mediate Steel Strike Issues PITTSBURGH (PA)—Top level secret negotiations in the 40-day old steel strike are underway today in this steel capital. After their first meeting yesterday, spokesmen for both industry and the CIO steelworkers were tightlipped. A union source said a second meeting would be held at an unsecified time and place today. There is every indication that most of the issues of the long strike were discussed at least generally at the first session. Ostensibly the meeting was called to talk over the industry's request to get iron ore production moving again. But a union spokesman, when asked if other issues were take up, smiled, "you may assume that." Philip Murray, president of the CIO and the steelworkers, and general counsel Arthur Goldberg, head the union team. Among industry leaders present were Vice-President John A. Stephens of U.S. Steel; Vice-President Joseph Larkin of Bethlehem Steel Corp.; and Ben W. Knowland. Bulletin CHICAGO (UP)—Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge announced today that Sen. Richard Nixon of Whittier, Calif., is the choice of the strategists. He made the statement to newsmen after a conference with a group of Republican leaders who helped win the presidential nomination for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Senator Nixon, 39, was elected to the Senate only two years ago after two terms in the House of Representatives. The Eisenhower group thus proposed a western balance for the November ticket in recognition of the growing population of that area. The general is a legal resident of New York. Lodge said Nixon would be put in nomination at the convention session scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. ing the roll of the states on the ballot. His 595 compared with an even 500 for Taft. Gov. Earl Warren had 81, Harold E. Stassen 20, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur 10. AT THAT POINT, the Minnesota delegation, which had given 19 of its votes to Stassen, threw them to the general and it was all over. Other states jumped on the bandwagon. Senator John W. Bricker of Ohio came to the platform and, speaking for Taft, moved that the nomination be made unanimous. Senator William F. Knowland Bulletin Fishing landings along the coast reported late today that the first full scale albacore run of the season is now in progress. All boats out have reported heavy catches.

WASHINGTON. (UP)—The western powers have submitted to Russia a big four meeting proposal which American officials believe will test the sincerity of Moscow's demands for a unified Germany. The proposal, delivered yesterday, calls for a meeting limited to the specific purpose of creating an impartial commission to determine whether free elections can be held throughout divided Germany. This was the one new feature in identical notes from the United States, Britain and France which represented the sixth round in a wordy diplomatic exchange going on since last March. I-Nation Air Raid Pulverizes wongyang Military Installations AL-Nation Air Raid Pulverizes Pyongyang Military Installations By STAN CARTER DULL, Korea, July 11 (P)—And Nations aircraft from countries turned the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, into a sand and rubble today in one of most devastating air raids of Korean war. Yew were aided by U.S. Malland-based planes, aircraft of the British carrier, HMS In the Yellow sea, and Italian, South African and Korean fighter bombers used to the U.S. Fifth Air Planes destroyed or used the communications quarters for the North Korea and Chinese communist forces. Three munitions factories two supply and storage centers—a factory where Yews and other communication equipment were made—other industrial factories a roundhouse and railroad yards—the motor pool troop replacement center. There was a lot of flak over Pyongyang, thrown up by about 100 heavy guns, some of them radar controlled, and about 50 automatic weapons. Navy Panther jets and propellor driven Marine Crops planes peppered the anti-aircraft guns with bombs and machine gun fire, but did not silence all of them. U.N. PERSONNEL captured by the reds were able to see the raid from five PW camps in the Pyongyang area. U.N. pilots were especially careful to avoid any of the prisoner camps, one of which was within a mile of one target. Allied fighter bombers went in with 1080 bombs as soon as Navy and Marine planes had completed their first strafing and bombing runs on red antialrcraft guns. The fighter bombers then hit their targets with rockets before returning to bases for more weapons. One hour after the raid began, the smoke over Pyongyang was so thick I could no longer see the ground. U.S. Air Force F-80's, F-94s and F-51s dived into the layer of smoke and out of sight to attack. This was the one new feature in identical notes from the United States, Britain and France which represented the sixth round in a wordy diplomatic exchange going on since last March. Moscow called then for an urgent meeting of the occupation powers to take up again the broad question of making peace with a unified Germany, a move western diplomats at the time interpreted as mere propaganda. In the new proposals the west laid once more the condition Russia must agree in advance that any general peace settlement be based first upon genuinely free elections in the Soviet zone, and then to the creation of a free all-German government which would have a voice in framing the peace treaty. Moscow thus far has sidestepped any such agreement and many diplomatic authorities doubt the Kremlin will accept the latest terms. But the western proposal left the way open for counterproposals, and American officials believe that in any event Soviet reaction will be useful in guiding public opinion in this country and in western Europe. The proposal, made after consultation with west German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, will not delay ratification of the separate contractural relations agreement.
