The territory concerned is bounded on the north by the Fullerton city limit, on the south by a 15-acre piece of land just north of Anaheim city limits, on the east by Lemon st. and on the west by the Spadra strip annexation of Fullerton. This area is part of the Acacia st. annexation on which the Anaheim city council initiated action Oct. 25. It develops now, however, that Fullerton has had annexaton proceedings at least started for some time. Wednesday night the Fullerton council received and filed a petition for an 80-acre area including that involved in the conflict and set a public hearing for Dec. 9. Members of the Anaheim-Fullerton Joint committee on Mutual boundaries met yesterday in Anaheim Elks club to discuss the conflict, but had no recommendations to report to that Fullerton has had annexation proceedings at least started for some time.

Balboa Islander Afloat on Surfboard For 36 Hours after Abandoning Boat Heralded by Newport police as the best fishing story of the year was James W. Coleman's account of a 36-hour swim ashore from eight miles out in the Pacific, when he abandoned his 14-foot glass-bottomed fishing boat. Coleman, 27 year old Balboa Island resident, actually swam much farther than eight miles, according to his tale on his return home last night. He used a naddleboard to help him stay afloat and he landed at Ocean-side, then hitch-hiked home aboard a truck. Loud thumping on the bottom of his boat, which steadily increased in force, frightened Coleman so that he donned a life jacket, threw the paddleboard overboard and followed it into the water, abandoning ship. He had borrowed the boat with its outboard motor, from Edward G. El- liott of Port Orange Fishing Hole Wednesday, starting to sea at 4 a.m. At about 6 a.m., he abandoned the boat at a point eight miles offshore from Newport Harbor jetty. From that hour Wednesday until 6 p.m. Thursday he was in the water, he said. Meanwhile another fishing boat, the Astaco, found the abandoned boat, minus the outboard motor and oars. There was sand in its bottom, also Coleman's jacket, according to Skipper Thomas Rodney of the Atasco, which towed the other boat to Newport Harbor. A search was started for Coleman and he was finally located at home. His hands showed evidence of long immersion in the water. His lips were chapped and he appeared near exhaustion. His doctor ordered him to bed. Suit to Continue WASHINGTON (P) — Courtesy for Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Va., said today the defeat of Democratic Sen. William Benton in Connecticut's senatorial election would not affect McCarthy's two million dollar libel suit against Benton. "We intend to push this right to the bitter end." War Magee of Washington, one of Carthy's lawyers, told a reporter "The suit will not be withdrawn." Recall Petitions Lack Signatures Recall petitions filed at court house today against two amitos school trustees, President Chester R. Lanier and Howe King, were reported considerately short of the required percentage of registered voters in the district County Clerk B. J. Smith said the 280 signatures were required, total registration being 1397. The Lanier recall petition cited only 213 signatures, the K- petition 214. The clerk's office is checking validity of these signatures, and further reductions are possible. Both recall petitions state grounds for the action that Lanier a postman, and King, a salesman are "not competent or qualified discharge the duties of sald truths, in our opinion and their cisions, judgment and actions school matters are contrary to best interests of school affairs said district."

Fire Turns Back Over County Line Having burned a curving path through the Southern Orange county hills, the brush fire that came up from San Diego county three days ago todav had turned back and crossed the line into that county. A change in wind direction turned the blaze from its northerly course at a point about three miles south of Ortega Highway and the 40-mile an hour wind swept the blaze eastward into the Santa Ana range, across the San Diego county line. State Ranger Joe Scherman, of Orange, who withdrew his crews from the fire front when it was turned aside, said it now centered in the Devil canyon area, San Diego county, where sheer walls rising 100 feet have made firefighting impossible. The blaze will burn itself out there, he said. Last night's showers were not sufficient to affect the fire.

Junior Chamber Makes Big Bid to Get Into ‘Buy in Anaheim’ Top Running Truman Asks Ike To Send Envoys To Washington WASHINGTON UPI—President Truman today asked President-elect Eisenhower to send representatives to the state and defense departments “at the earliest possible moment.” His telegram made public by the White House, disclosed also that Truman sent a personal message yesterday to Eisenhower who is having a post-campaign rest at Augusta, Ga. A White House spokesman told reporters later this messenger was Col. Albert L. Cox of the air force. The spokesman added Cox carried a written message and was acting simply as a messenger and not as a presidential emissary. He said the message suggested "other lines of cooperation" in the period between now and Eisenhower's inauguration Jan. 20 but that the proposals would not be made public. Since a military courier was chosen to carry the message, the implication is that it contained certain secret information that could not be sent, for security reasons, by ordinary communications channels. In his telegraph message, Truman agreed to Nov. 17 as the date for a White House meeting With the end of the Gazette’s “Buy in Anaheim” campaign approaching, Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce today threw in another large block of votes, 233,200, in a determined effort to catch up with the three leading organizations. However, it will take plenty of votes to catch the Boy Scouts of America, 6,731,700 votes; Bethel Baptist church, 5,988,000 votes; and First Baptist church, 5,874,900 votes. The leading Boy Scouts threw in the second highest number of votes 145,000, to stay safely in the lead. The other heavy voter was White Temple Methodist church, who cast 119,600 votes for a grand total of 2,507,500. White Temple, incidentally, is next in line behind the Junior Chamber. The campaign ends at midnight, Nov. 15, and the end of the auditing of votes and announcement of the winner is to be expected sometime the following week. Checks for $700, $200, and $100 will be awarded immediately to the first three winning organizations.

This year's nuclear weapons tests at Eniwetok, announced for the "autumn months," are either completed or nearing an end. They generally were expected to include use of a standard atomic bomb to touch off enough hydrogen to produce a super-sized blast. The atomic energy commission has made no announcements of results such as followed the previous mid-Pacific experiments beginning in 1948. All of these have been closed to the press and public, but restrictions were unusually tight this year. The AEC said they were to be "conducted under full security provisions" of the atomic energy act. One source said there was no certainty there would be any announcement this time. The government has announced that the spring, 1951, series included tests "contributing to the thermonuclear weapons research," a reference to the intense heat of no hydrogen explosion. Presumably a small, experimental amount of hydrogen was used then. A full scale test of an H-bomb might be the reason for the high degree of security imposed on the latest series. Voters give Ike 7 Million Margin By The Associated Press This was the election picture today with nearly all returns tab- Ike May Bypass Japan on Trip To Korean Front TOKYO — UP—Diplomatic and army sources speculated today that President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower might skip Japan on his forthcoming visit to Korea and fly direct from Okinawa or Wake island to Seoul. They suggested two reasons why he might by-pass Japan: 1. Protocol would require that he call on Emperor Hirohito. 2. Security measures would be simplified if he did not stop in Japan. The question of jet fighter cover to protect his plane on the trip from Japan to Korea also is a factor. Army headquarters said no direct word on the Eisenhower visit had been received from Washington. But a decision is expected within two weeks. AP Correspondent Robert B. Tuckman reported from Korea that American fighting men were looking forward to the Eisenhower visit. Tuckman said they hope the general will do something about getting them home sooner, either by lowering the 36 points required for rotation or by putting more Korean troops in the line. The fighting men anticipated Eisenhower would spend a lot of time with south Korean troops studying their training program. He also is expected to visit President Syngman Rhee. WITH U.S. SECOND DIVISION, Korea UP—A Communist artillery shell hit a Second division soldier in the leg. The shell bounced up and belted him in the mid section, but did not explode. The soldier, whose name was withheld, went to the hospital with a stomach ache.
