'Buy in Anaheim' School Men Disagree on Fremont Sale An informal meeting of the boards of Anaheim union high school and elementary school districts last night failed to produce a meeting of minds on a price for the Fremont school plant but the trustees set another meeting for 8 p.m., Aug. 21, in the board room at AUHS. The high school board is seeking to purchase the Fremont facilities for use as a future junior high school. The elementary board has signified a willingness to sell, but an agreement has been lacking on price. Separate appraisals have been made by firms hired by the two districts and the elementary board proposed that an average of the two appraised values be the purchase price, a sum of $1,-032,000. Offer Replacement The high school board, on the other hand, holds that replacement value of the school would be sufficient, and has offered to build a school plant for the elementary district of the same pupil capacity as that of Fremont. The replacement school would cost $700,000, according to AUHS board estimates. The high school board has proposed a $2,500,000 bond issue for construction of two junior high schools. One is to be located on a 40-acre site at the corner of Western and Orange avenues, north of Stanton. The balance of the Senators' Lawyers Clash in Court As Delay Is Sought by McCarthy WASHINGTON (UP)—A two million dollar libel-slander suit fight between Sen. McCarthy R-Wis and Sen. Benton D-Conn steamed up a new courtroom clash today. At issue is McCarthy's motion for a court-ordered delay in taking the pre-trial testimony of Paul G. Hoffman, president of the Ford Foundation, who may become a key witness. The opposing lawyers had less than an hour in which to argue the case and get a ruling from U.S. District Judge Burnita S. Matthews. The woman judge set the postponement motion for hearing at 9 a.m. EST. Counsel for the two senators hope for her decision before the scheduled start of Hoffman's testimony at 10 a.m. at a nearby hotel. The fight stems from McCarthy's big damage suit. He contends that Benton libeled and slandered him with unfounded charges of fraud, perjury and calculated deceit of the American people. Theodore Kiendl of New York and Gerhard van Arkel of Washington, counsel for Benton, have made mystery of their reasons for calling Hoffman, a top adviser to the Eisenhower-for-president forces. Edward B. Williams of Washington, McCarthy's lawyer, said he would use that fact in his arguments to the court. He has asked the court to forbid the examination of Hoffman until the all- 8-Year Old Bourn For China Nabber By Policeman REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (UP) Dickie Love, a veteran stowawatcher (2) are believed by observers to be sought by China in top-level Chinese-Russian talks now under way in Moscow. China also is believed to be seeking more financial aid and additional shipments of war supplies for troops in Korea. AP Wirephoto Ma Western Power Reps Keep Mum On Tito Talks TRIESTE (AP)—Representatives of the three western powers who talked with Yugoslav Premier Marshal Tito on Brioni island yesterday kept a tight-liped silence on the talks today. No information came from them or the Allied military government of the Trieste Free Territory. In Belgrade, similar secrecy cloaked the apparent new western move to press Italv and Yugoslavia for solution of their potentially explosive difficulties over the future of the strategic Adriatic seaport. It was learned that the conference was called at the request of the three western representatives — U.S. Ambassador George Allen, British Ambassador Sir Ivor Mallet and the French envoy, Philippe Baudet. The secrecy of yesterday's session, plus the fact that the western envoys went directly to Tito, instead of handling the problem through normal foreign office channels, points up its importance. Weather Southern California—Variable high cloudiness tonight and Wednesday, mostly sunny days. Night and early morning fog along coast. Little temperature change. Theodore Kiendl of New York and Gerhard van Arkel of Washington, counsel for Benton, have made mystery of their reasons for calling Hoffman, a top adviser to the Eisenhower-for-president forces. Edward B. Williams of Washington, McCarthy's lawyer, said he would use that fact in his arguments to the court. He has asked the court to forbid the examination of Hoffman until theailing McCarthy can take a hand in cross-examining the witness or at least consult with his counsel. Eight Nations to Participate in Allied Naval Games in Atlantic OSLO, Norway (AP)—Adm. Sir Patrick Brind, commander of Allied forces in northern Europe, outlined plans today for an eight-nation air-sea exercise designed to sharpen Allied defenses in the Atlantic. The big-scale war games—named "Operation Mainbrace"—will be held in Danish and Norwegian waters from Sept. 18-25. The communique said land, sea and air forces from eight NATO nations will take part in the exercise. Ships, aircraft and carrier and shore bases, land and amphibious forces will come from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, France, the Netherlands. Norway, United Kingdom and United States. The exercise will be held under the joint overall command of the two NATO supreme commanders—Adm. Lvnde D. McCormick, supreme Allied commander, Atlantic, and Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, supreme Allied commander in Europe. It is the first time they have been associated in this manner in a major exercise, the communique said. Support Problems The communique described "Operation Mainbrace" this way: It is mainly an exercise of Allied blue maritime forces—sea and air—supporting land and air forces. Ships and carrier aircraft will cooperate with shore-based aircraft of the RAF and U.S. navy and will be subject to various aftacks by "orange" sea and air forces. The exercise can be divided into five parts: 1. An Allied carrier force will sail northward from British ports and will take part in exercises in northern Norway in the Navik area. 2. The carrier force will move southward, refueling in passage to join exercises in Denmark. 3. Convoys to and from Scandinavia will be protected by surface forces and carrier and shore-based air forces. 4. An amphibious force, including U.S. marines, will sail from Britain to aid land forces in Jutland. The expedition will be strongly escorted and will include its own air support for the troop when ashore. 5. In the Kattegat and Baltic approaches to Denmark, light forces from Denmark, Norway and Britain will exercise under Danish command with submarines and coast defense to protect the shores of Denmark. n' Campain Gains Four New HEIM Daily GAZETTE HEIM GAZETTE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1870 AS A WEEKLY AND IS ANAHEIM'S FIRST NEWSPAPER ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1952 5 Cents per Copy 50 Cents per Month Reader May See Stalin During Ta Diplomats View Red Conference As Chinese "Begging Expedition" MOSCOW (P)—Red China's premier and foreign minister, Chou En-Lai, may see Prime Minister Stalin before many days of the present top-level talks between the two big communist nations. Premier Chou called on Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky last night. Some American diplomats view the top-level Chinese-Russian conference in Moscow as mainly a "begging expedition" by the Chinese Reds. These officials speculate that the Chinese are dissatisfied with Russia's promises and would plead for: 1. More financial aid to supplement the 300-million-dollar loan Moscow promised in February, 1950. 2. Bigger and faster shipments of Russian-made military supplies for hard-pressed Chinese Communist troops in Korea. 3.

Removal of Russian troops from Port Arthur and return to Red China of the Changchun Railway as promised by the end of this year. Western observers said Stalin probably would be taking a direct and personal interest in the progress of the talks and so an invitation for Chou to call at the Kremlin would not be surprising. Three Politburo members—V. M. Molotov, A. I. Mikoyan and N. A. Bulganin—were among the official welcoming party. Even long-term foreign residents here cannot remember a previous time when there was such a distinguished turnout to greet a foreign guest. Demos Halt Hiway Drive for Ike PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — A contractor doing road repairs on the main Pasadena thoroughfare combined his work with politics. His warning signs to motorists read: "Neighbor, please be careful the next mile so that you may live to vote for Ike." Democrats squawked and forced police to enforce an ordinance banning political posters on city property. So today the last four words are painted out. Nation Showered; Texas By-Passed By The Associated Press Showers sprinkled large areas of the nation today, but they missed Texas, which is baking in the third week of a crop-withering heat wave. Scattered thundershowers were reported in the southeast northward to the Ohio valley and middle Atlantic states. Another area of thundershowers dampened the plains states and Rocky mountains. The mercury headed for the 100-plus degree mark in north and central Texas for the 17th day this month. Weather forecasters said there was no sign of relief.

Appointments may be made by calling Anaheim 2065. Bloodmobile hours are from 2 to 7 p.m., and Mrs. Nelson stated that all appointments will be honored for the time accepted. TOKYO (UP) — A U.S. Navy mine sweeper and salvage tug arrived in Japan last night for a formal investigation of an incident off Korea in which the minesweeper fired twice on the tug, killing two and injuring nine. A Navy officer said the accidental shooting resulted from failure to exchange recognition signals between the minesweeper Chief AM315 and the Grapple ARS6. The Navy said two three-inch shells from the Chief hit the Grapple Friday night when the vessels were searching for small communist ships off Hungnam on Korea's Northeast Coast.

H. Schmelzer, the Orange County Employees Credit Union today held a Superior court judgment of $50,000 against Schmelzer, who is now waiting criminal prosecution on six grand theft charges. The credit union has attached Schmelzer's safety deposit box, a bank account consisting of a few dollars and his property in Orange. Schmelzer who had served as chief deputy in the county school superintendent's office for 20 years was said to have made a statement following his arrest admitting misappropriation of approximately $50,000 of credit union funds. Individual losses of county employee members of the Credit Union ranged as high as several thousand dollars. The largest amount charged in the six counts of grand theft on file was $3500 from one member. Schmelzer's preliminary hearing on the grand theft charges is set for Aug. 25 in Santa Ana Justice court.

But the B-29 pilots, skirting the edge of an erratic typhoon sweeping across the southern end of the Korean peninsula, reported they met intense anti-aircraft fire. One plane was attacked by a Red night fighter but the air force said all 14 planes returned safely. The plant reportedly produced 1000 anti-tank grenades and 3,000 to 5000 hand grendas daily.
