You can Still Vote ANAHEIM Daily The Anaheim Gazette Was Established in 1870 As A Weekly And Is Anaheim's First Newsplace VOLUME LXXXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER Voters Out in Record No Nearly Half Anaheim’s Registered Voters Cast Ballots Before Noon Prospect of a record-smashing vote in today’s general election in Orange county was evident as soon as the polls opened at 7 a.m., and by noon nearly half of the county’s 127,000 registered voters had flocked to the polls. The normal vote by noon is 10 per cent of the total registration. In Anaheim, a spot check of six precincts revealed that 41 per cent of the city’s 8600 registered voters had cast their ballots by 11:30 a.m. in the general election and 16 per cent had voted in the Anaheim Union High school district’s junior high school and junior high school bond election. The general election vote is unprecedented for this city, but even more surprising is the 16 per cent vote on the junior proposals. In the last school bond election, only 12 per cent of the entire register-election officials said the situation had never been duplicated before in the county’s history. If the rate of balloting were maintained during the latter half of the day, it seemed certain that even the record 85 per cent vote forecast by County Clerk B. J. Smith, registrar of voters, would be exceeded. The chief spur to the heavy vote appeared to be the intense interest aroused in the presidential election, but some areas had the additional incentive of local contests and special propositions. Polling Places Trek to Polls By The Associated Press As predicted, the nation’s turned out in record numbers today to determine who will be the 33rd president of the States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Adlai Stevenson. Reports from all sections of the country were the same; polling places swamped, people walking as long as hour in lines before being to cast their ballots. Even Stevenson and former President Herbert Hoover were forced wait half an hour before could vote. All indications are that... Delivery of Ultimatum to Rioters Be Given by Warden This Afternoon COLUMBUS, O. (UP)—Warden Ralph W. Alvis announced he will personally deliver an ultimatum this afternoon to 1600 rioting convicts in four besieged cellblocks of Ohio penitentiary. The warden told newmen he talked with the convicts in cell blocks G, H, I and K for first time since the riot was new Sunday morning. Alvis did not say what his matum will be. The besieged convicts dropped surrender notes yesterday. Alvis said early today believes not too many still to hold out. The warden also disclosed tween 600 and 800 penitential mates—the less violent type—be moved to Camp. Perry or shores of Lake Erie. The warden would not admit himself as to the cause the riot except to say "I've feeling this thing for months." Two hundred national guards men were moved into the after yesterday's outburst of fire. Through the night, state patrol men and 200 national guard equipped with bayonets and chine guns stood at posts out the four cellblocks to block cape. A few shots were fired during the late afternoon and evening prisoners now and then came of their cells. The door locks broken in earlier rioting. Meanwhile, deputies likely were under way to some of the less violent priests to national guard Camp Larry in northwestern Ohio, possibly by tonight. A rifle bullet killed Calo Noel a 30-year-old Cincinnati housebreaker, as he ran for a way.

Palm and Vermont sts., yesterday objected strenuously enough to a proposed duplex at the northeast corner of Palm and Vermont sts., to get the planning commission to deny a variance to permit it. The applicant was Mildred Bubb of Long Beach. The residents of the area felt that a multi-family development in the neighborhood was not justified since the whole area is composed of single-family dwellings. Another proposal developed into a controversy that was not so easily disposed of. Catherine Gerard of Los Angeles requested a variance to permit moving a garment-making industry from the second floor above the Dutch Rov paint store to the second floor above the McMahan Furniture store at 128 to 129 W. Center st. The garment industry is a light manufacturing (M1) use and all of Anaheim's downtown area is classified as C-2 (commercial) zone. The matter was held over to permit time, for the plannine staff to conduct a survey of all the business district's second floor area and report on their conclusions. A variance was granted to F. D. Westfall of Costa Mesa to permit his establishment of a garment factory at 114 to 116 N. Clementine st. The only requirement added was that he should provide a parking area in the rear for the use of his employees. Mrs. Lena Rastion of 1528 E. Center st., Anaheim, was granted a variance to divide property at 1522 to 1540 E. Center st., into four parcels, three of which would contain less than one acre. The planners consented to this departure from ordinance requirements for residential agricultural areas because the applicant agreed to divide it in conformity with a master plan for development of the area. Paul L. Pierce of Pico was granted permission to divide an 11-acre parcel northeast of W. North and Loara sts., into lots less than the R-O requirement of 9000 square feet with a minimum of 75 feet frontage. The variance request of Ted Wedel, 615 S.-Clementine st., Anaheim, to permit a second dwelling on his lot was held over due to the illness of the owner. Two changes in the municipal code was okeyed. One would permit property annexed to the city to come in as residential—agricultural zone instead of single family residential as formerly. The other permits automatic rezoning from R-A to R-1 in areas subdivided for single family residences. A revised tentative map of tract 1691 as the north side of La Palma ave., west of West st., was approved. D. E. Edwards and John D. Ardalz are developing the area which contains 54 lots. A revised tentative map of tract 1648 at the northeast corner of Sycamore and East st., was approved. A tentative man showing nine lots at the east end of Hamshire ave., was approved. The development is proposed by the Anaheim Golf Association. Hearings on changing the area in the Burton st. annexation from R-1 (single family residential) to R-O (rural residential) were set by the commission for Dec. 1 and 5. Sue JOS Cities Claims for more than $27 for extra gravel furnished by tractors on two units of the JOS Magnolia trunk line sewer were presented in a suit on fill day in Superior Court against cities of Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton, also the Buena R La Habra, Garden Grove and centia Sanitary Districts. These cities and districts owners of the line. Plaintiffs in the action are J. Vukojevich, Philip Chutuk John Kordich, partners in the W Construction company. The contractors claim that tra quantities of crush rock required as bedding for the line, and that the chief engineer gave oral authority to protect and use it. A clause of the tract is cited, which provides such use of additional beds but specifying that written order from the chief engineer would necessary before it was used. Lacking such written authoriate the cities and sanitary district have rejected the contract claim for $9470.37 on Unit 1 of line, and $17,655.65 on Unit 1. Broughton Taken To Chino Prison Roy Clifford Broughton, 18-year-old slayer of Richard Grimes 25, Los Angeles taxi driver Santa Ana last March 7, was taken to Chino prison today by deputies, to start serving a sentence. Broughton, ex-Marine, was 17 at the time of the killing, reached his 18th birthday weeks later, so was not subject to the death penalty, though offense was declared first-degree murder by the court. Broughton at first pleaded guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity, but later dropped first, his not guilty plea, finally the insanity defense, ing that he be sentenced.

Eisenhower orial Stevenson. Reports from all sections of the country were the same—placing places swamped, with people waiting as long as an hour in lines before being able to cast their ballots. Even Gov. Evenson and former President Robert Hoover were forced to sit half an hour before they would vote. All indications are that this election will break all previous election records in terms of voter participation. Many cities and states have already reported record high percentages of registered voters passing through the voting booths. Los Angeles County Registrar Benjamin Hite said that by 8 a.m., one hour after polling places opened, voting was estimated at 12 per cent of registration, probably a record for the early tally. From many Southland points—Westchester, Hollywood, San Fernando valley, Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton the story was the same, heavy voting. Favorable weather throughout the state, and a booming campaign carried out by civic groups to get out the vote, helped swell the waves of voters treking to the polls. Organized baby sitters offered services gratis to voters and free transportation to the polling This Tombstone Vote was Legal If a vote from the nether world means more than a vote from some terrestrial American, either Ike or Adalal got a break this morning. The lucky candidate (identify still unknown) got the vote of George Beckman, 8241 S. Jefferson st., Ollive. When Beckman went to cast his vote, the precinct official discovered that he (Beckman) was dead. Yes sir, there it was on the list: "George Beckman — deceased." They let George vote, though, and afterward he checked with his physician. The verdict: blood pressure high from shock and heart in a slight dither. Otherwise living.

The U.S. Troops in Korea Beat Down Attacks, Listen to Election Resu Anaheim Prisoner Escapes County Hospital Cell Robert Wayne Booher, 52, Anaheim prisoner held under full control U.S. Troops in Korea Beat Down Attacks, Listen to Election Results SEOUL (UP)—Dug-in Allied soldiers today hurled back predawn Red assaults on the Korean Eastern and Central Fronts. North Korean Communists launched six attacks in the Heartbreak Ridge sector. Each was stopped cold despite unusually heavy Red artillery and mortar fire. Chinese Reds on the Central Front stormed all night long at South Korean positions at bloody Sniper Ridge. The ROKs beat back the final assault at dawn. The U.S. Eighth Army said Snipers and nearby Triangle Hill were quieter today than at any time since the Allies launched their Central Front attack Oct. 14. The mercury dipped to a bone-chilling 1 degree above zero. American soldiers huddled around their radios for the latest news of the U.S. presidential elections. Most interested listener was Maj. John Eisenhower, son of the Republican candidate. A battalion of North Koreans—about 750 men—powered the biggest Red attack or the mountainous Eastern Front. The Reds slammed straight at Heartbreak Ridge. Allied infantrymen, fighting from trenches and bunkers, stopped the assault cold in a three-hour battle. The defenders estimated they killed or wounded more than 100 Red Komsu. Five other attacks, two men in size, hit elsewhere four-mile sector. On the center, about nine Reds tried to seize the top of Sniper Ridge the night. Nons got close 100 yards. A company of Chinese Allied outpost south of on the Central Front morning.

Sheriff's officers were searching not only for Booher but for his mother, who visited him yesterday afternoon and is believed to have assisted with arrangements for his escape. His restraints presumably had been partially loosened, and a hacksaw was found in his empty room. Discovery of Booher's escape was made at 3:35 a.m. today. After sawing through the window bars, he had let himself down from the second floor to the ground by tying bed sheets together. Booher had been arrested by Anaheim police Oct. 31, on a warrant from Tulare. The nature of the charge against him was not learned. He began acting strangely following his arrest and was placed in the hospital for observation. When his actions became violent, he was placed under full restraint. Santa Ana Planning Engineer Resigns Resignation of Millard Parks, Santa Ana city planning engineer, was presented to the city council there last night, coming as a surprise to the entire city administration, officials said. Parks has been engineer for the city planning commission since its formation. He informed the council that his other business affairs demanded his full time, and he could no longer serve with the planning commission. While the rest of the nation concerned itself with the election and their own local propositions and political battle, helpers are casting votes today in three elections; general high school and bond, and the Gazette's "Buy in Anaheim" campaign.

American Planes Sight Russian, But Hold Fire TOKYO (AP) — Far East Air Forces Headquarters said two American jets today flew alongside but did not fire on an LA-11 propeller driven fighter plane with Soviet markings. FEAF said they met over Northern Japan. Neither the two American F-84 Thunderjets nor the Russian-built fighter fired any shots, FEAF said. The Air Force said the Communist plane was flying over the Nemuro Peninsula of Eastern Hokkaido, the same area in which an American B-29 was believed shot down by Russian fighters Oct. 7. FEAF said the plane with Soviet markings flew off toward the international boundary between Japan and Russia and the F-84s returned to their base without leaving Japanese territory. The LA-11 is a propeller driven single engined fighter plane of Russian design and manufacture.
