High School Board Signs Architect Anaheim Chest Campaign Lags Far Behind Quota; Drive Needs $12,000 "Anaheim is falling far short of teaching its Red Feather objective of $28,158," chest president, Jay Reafsynder announced today. Collections so far have been only per cent of our objective, and we must raise $12,000 within the next few weeks." Reafsyder continued, "if we are to adequately support our local youth and welfare activities in Anaheim. Unless we can reach our goal is certain that the activities of my Scouts, Girl Scouts, Catholic welfare, the Children's hospital, Visiting Nurses, and the Salton Army will be severely curbed. Mr. Reafsyder said that at most 550 residences in Anaheim we not been solicited and that there remains yet many business units who have not been approached for donations, due to a lack of Red Feather workers. We believe that 50 to 60 earnest volunteers, willing to spend at least two hours for one day could finish up this campaign and make it possible for us to go over the top." Pleas are going out today to every civic organization, requesting assistance from members who have not so far participated in the campaign. Citizens of Anaheim who are willing to spend some time in soliciting are urgently requested to phone 7227, and campaign materials and information will be brought to them by a chest official.

BARNARD SEOUL UP — Chinese communists seized Pinpoint Hill early today in a furious battle and South Korean soldier survivors charged the Reds fired suffocating gas into their lines. U. S. military authorities while treating the Korean charge with caution, rushed up a chemical warfare team to make a quick investigation. One of the first Korean soldiers examined was found to be definitely ill, but the examining doctor said he could have been flattened by fumes from an ordinary artillery shell. Korean survivors who came down off the Ridge told their superior officers that after some communist shells exploded within their lines they had difficulty breathing. U. S. officers with the Koreans said soldiers often mistake smoke or phosphorus shells for gas shells in the heat of battle. Still, they were taking no chances. The communists repeatedly have charged that the Allies were firing gas shells in Korea. All these charges have been denied. The Geneva Convention outlaws gas and both sides in the Korean war maintain they live up to the Convention. Deadlocked Jury Still Deliberates On Fate of Rupp Divided 9-3, after being deadlocked 6-5 last night, the jury in the William F. Rupp murder trial was still deliberating early this afternoon. Jurors were believed A Korean division headquarters issued the report charging the reds were using gas. South Korean battle action reports sometimes have proved unreliable due mainly to an Oriental concern over loss of face. Recently, a Korean division refused to acknowledge loss of a Central Front hill position for face-saving reasons. The South Koreans had been driven from Pinpoint Hill, highest point on Sniper Ridge, after an enslaught in which the reds steadily built up their assault. A U. S. chemical warfare officer who rushed to the front said, however, he doubted the Chinese reds were using gas. "It sounds like picnic acid to us," said Lt. Col. Harrison A. Markham, chemical officer of the Ninth Corps, who added that picric acid fumes result from the detonation of old powder. Council Retains Special Flood Control Counsel In a move to get action on flood control measures to free Anaheim from the annual fear of run-off waters from Carbon Canyon, city council last night agreed to retain Architects of Smith and Powell Design New School Board members filled in on forms to be submitted to the architects some of the information they wish to have incorporated into proposed structure.

Ballots on the recent school bond and junior high school district plan, passed on by voters Nov. 4, were canvassed at last night's meeting and absentee ballots were opened.

Deadlocked Jury Still Deliberates On Fate of Rupp Divided 9-3, after being deadlocked 6-6 last night, the jury in the William F. Rupp murder trial was still deliberating early this afternoon. Jurors were believed to be divided on the question whether to send Rupp to the gas chamber or recommend life imprisonment. At this time the jurors had been deliberating more than ten hours. Because they had asked the court whether Rupp would ever be eligible for parole if given a life sentence, the prosecution expressed belief that the jury trend was turning toward the death penalty. Judge Kenneth E. Morrison told the jury he could not answer the question regarding parole, as it was not within the jury's province to consider the punishment other than recommending life imprisonment if it saw fit. The case went to the jury at 4:10 p.m. yesterday. At 11 p.m., the jury returned to the courtroom to report that it was deadlocked 6-6. It was locked up for the night on hour later, then standing 7-5. How the majority stood was not disclosed. At 10:30 p.m., the jury returned to the court to resume deliberations. This morning, for the third time, Judge Morrison was asked to repeat instructions regarding the various degrees of murder and the jury's power of recommendation. Police Pick up Check Passers Mrs. Grace Price, 32, of 19872 Sycamore dr., Silverado Canyon, wife of a Silverado bartender, Harold James Price, was taken into custody by deputy sheriffs and turned over to Santa Ana police last evening, after her brother, John Hamilton Corbin, 26, of Los Angeles, named her as his associate in passing bogus checks. Santa Ana police said the woman admitted passing worthless checks in San Pedro and Inglewood, using the names Grace Corbin and Anna Dawes. Her bother, arrested earlier by Santa Ana officers, 100 block of E. Fourth st., is charged with passing a gun. Council Retains Special Flood Control Counsel In a move to get action on flood control measures to free Anaheim from the annual fear of run-off waters from Carbon Canyon, city council last night agreed to retain Attorney LeRoy Lyon of Fullerton, recently elected assemblyman from this district, as special legal counsel on the problem. Since 1935 Anaheim has sought relief from the perennial flood water problem, and in spite of a ten cent per $100 tax which annually goes to the Orange County Flood Control district nothing has been done. In all those years, according to City Administrator Keith Murdock, the channel work on the Santa Ana river is the only flood control measure that has affected the city. The recently announced agreement by county supervisors to take action on the Loftus diversion channel is not pertinent to Anaheim flood problem, city officials pointed out, since it will handle only waters that do not pass through the city. Mainly, the channel would relieve the flood situation in uninhabited territory to the east of Fullerton. Councilmen expressed concern for the whole area northeast of Anaheim which was inundated last year by the Carbon Canyon flood waters and particularly for the area included in the proposed Acacia st. annexation.

Subdivision Draws Protests from Nearby R-O Zone Property Owners Following a discussion joined by a large crowd of residents objecting to the subdivision of a small home tract next to their R-O zone homes, Anaheim city council last night held over action on tract 1696 for further study. Tract 1696 is located on E. South st., and butts against the Morris tract on Grove and Sherwood sts. to the north. The Morris tract is in the R-O zone, which requires lots of not less than 9,000 square feet. Morris residents fear the tract of homes of less than 9000 square feet will devalue their own properties. A number of landowners in the area submitted a written petition requesting that a buffer strip of R.O zone land be created between the Morris tract and any other R-1 developments, which permit lots of 7500 square feet. The Art Shinkev subdivision of 78 lots at the northeast corner of Sycamore and East sts. was approved.

Her bother, arrested earlier by Santa Ana officers 100 block of E. Fourth st., is charged with passing a $10 bogus check at the Eureka Shoe store in Santa Ana. He was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. Although he is not in the Armed Services, As a result, he was questioned by FBI agents, and it was learned that he had purchased the uniform at a store dealing in military clothing.

Approval was granted a variance request by Paul L. Pierce to permit an R-1 subdivision in the R-O zone at North and Loara sts. Approval was also granted to permit the establishment of a garment industry at 114-116 N. Clementine st. A petition signed by 37 employees of a parment factory located over the Dutch paint store on E. Center st. requesting passage of a variance to permit moving the industry to the McMahan furniture store building was received by the council.
