Walter Reuther Named 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 VOLUME LXOXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER American U.N. Employees South Koreans Won't Accept Peace Plan UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Dec. 4 UP—South Korea turned down today an Indian compromise proposal for ending the Korean war as the president of the U. N. Assembly wrote an appeal to the communists to accept it. Y. T. Pyun, foreign minister of the U. N.-sponsored Republic of Korea, announced here that his government could not accept the Indian resolution, approved yesterday by 54 of the 60 U.N. members, because "it is against the spirit of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea." Western delegates said privately they would not worry about South Korea's stand if the communists did the unexpected and agreed to the proposal. Pyun objected to the heart of the plan, which is a provision for sending thousands of North that his government could not accept the Indian resolution, approved yesterday by 54 of the 60 U.N. members, because "it is against the spirit of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea." Western delegates said privately they would not worry about South Korea's stand if the communists did the unexpected and agreed to the proposal. Pyun objected to the heart of the plan, which is a provision for sending thousands of North Korean war prisoners to a demilitarized zone from which they would be repatriated by a U.N. commission. Pyun said his government regarded the prisoners as liberated Koreans. Those who desired to remain in the South should be liberated now, he added. The others are communists, he said, but they still are Koreans and are not alien prisoners of war. He said it would reflect on Korea's sovereignty to send them to the demilitarized zone, even temporarily. Lester B. Pearson, president of the Assembly, told a news conference he was writing a letter to go along with the Assembly's resolution. This letter would explain the background of the resolution and would end with an appeal to Peiping and Pyongyang to accept it. Pearson indicated he would prefer to have an envoy from some government stationed in Peiping deliver the resolution and the letter. He said he thought this method would be better than sending a cable to Communist China. Searchers Sight Plane Wreck on Mt. San Gorgonio SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 4. (AP)—Aerial searchers reported today that wreckage and bodies were sighted 11,000 feet high on Mt.

Committee Recommends Addition of Three Cities to OC Water District Anaheim would become a part of the Orange county Water district if recommendations, which also propose a pumpage tax upon all water pumped from the Orange county basin, are translated into law through efforts of the Orange county Water Basin Conservation committee. The committee has accepted "in principle" the recommendations of its legislative sub-committee that Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana be included in the revised bouncingaries of the water district, which has been selected as the age for administering a new water buying program to replenish local underground basin. The recommendations, said statement issued by the committee, which is headed by Walter Schmid of West Anaheim, will be approved as "a guide" to preparation of legislation required to carry out the program spreading the cost of Colorado river water equitably among users. Ross Shafer of Tustin head of the sub-committee. Recommendations propose Anaheim, Fullerton and San Ana, only cities in the basin already in the water district, included, each as a separate division added to the seven existing divisions, and each represented by a director on the board. Taxing proposals include a limited ad valorem tax for carrying the ordinary affairs of the water district, as now exists. The taxrict now has a rate limit of cents per $100 of assessed value. The sub-committee recommended that the tax apply to estate improvements and other taxable assets. The pumpage tax would be added, being levied upon water pumped from the basin, according to amount used, and would be devoted to purchase of oil or sidewater to supply the city. Churchill Announces Cutback in British Production LONDON, Dec. 4. (UP)—Prime Minister Churchill today announced a new cutback in the British defense effort to minimize the entanglements of the nation's economy in an inflationary spiral. He did not specify the size of the cut in his statement to a packed and attentive house of commons. But he made it clear the action was designed to protect Britain's financial solvency. "Some curtailment must now be made," he said. "This will, to some extent, involve the cancellation or modification of contracts already placed." "The reductions will, so far as possible, he brought about by spreading deliveries of equipment over a longer period. It will, however, not be possible to solve the problem by entirely spreading deliveries forward into future months of years." This was the method used in the first cutback. Churchill's Conservative government announced last winter that Britain's long-range 13 billion dollar rearament program, first put forward late in 1950, had been extended a year beyond the originally planned three years because of manpower and steel shortages and the effects of the nation's economic crisis. Last July Churchill warned that a further curb would be necessary to prevent "a plunge into bankruptcy." Referring to aircraft, Churchill said today his government will reduce somewhat "the production of types now in service, but we shall continue to press forward as rapidly as possible with the introduction of the newer and still more advanced types." r Named to Succeed Murray DALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 RIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 5, 1952 5 Cents per Copy 50 Cents per Month No. 286 Oyees Fired by Trygve Lie Dismissal Comes for Failure to Answer Questions of Senate Group By STANLEY JOHNSON UNITED NATIONS, N.

BURLINGTON, Wis., Dec. 4 UP—The improbable—and ingenious cropped out again today as the Burlington Llars’ Club released samples of tall tales submitted in its annual contest to determine the year’s champion fabricator. The 1952 titlist will be selected Dec. 31 after Judges have winnowed thousands of imaginative stories from all parts of the nation. Up for consideration is the harrowing tale of Ray Snapp of Bedford, Ind., who said he found himself surrounded by timber wolves of Northern Canada in mid-winter with plenty of powder but no bullets for his muzzle-loader. Snapp claimed he saved himself by breaking off frozzen balls of sweat, from his brow and using them for bullets. E. C. Riall, Shreveport, La., contended it rains so hard in his area that ducks dive under water when a storm approaches and thus save themselves from drowning. J. C. Havens, Detroit, declared the mosquitoes at his summer place were so bad he used chicken wire for screening. Present champion is the Rev. Arthur Kirk of Biggs, Calif., who won last year’s crown with a tale of watermelon vines which grew so fast they wore out the melons by dragging them along the ground. Marine Sentenced To Chino Prison Pfc. Leonard E. Burkhart, 27, of the marine corps, was sentenced to Chino state prison yesterday by Superior Judge Kenneth E. Morrison to a term of from one to 10 years for felony assault on two men, including an Anaheim resident. Burkhart attacked Lauro L. Elenes of Anaheim and John R. Jackson of Santa Ana with a knife last Sept. 13 outside an East Fourth st. cafe in Santa Ana. They said he had threatened them inside of the cafe and then followed them out, attacking them as they were getting into an automobile.

Murray as CIO Head ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—REUTHER CIO VICTOR — Walter P. Reuther (right), is proclaimed winner in election for CIO president. Allan S. Haywood, defeated for president and reelected executive vice president, holds winner's arm aloft. Next to Haywood is Jacob S. Potofsky, president of Amalgamated Clothing Workers. Above Reuther's hand is that of James G. Thimmes of Unitied Steelworkers. Dynamic Chief of United Auto Workers Chosen over Haywood in Hot Balloting ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. 4 (JP)—Dynamic Walter P. Reuther was elected president of the CIO today in a political scrap winding up the labor group's annual convention. Reuther, 45-year-old chief of the CIO's million-member Auto Workers Union, was selected in hotly contested balloting over Allan S. Haywood, veteran 64-year-old executive vice president of the organization. The voting was 3,079,181 for Reuther, and 2,613,103 for Haywood, based on the CIO's claimed membership of 5,692,284. Reuther thus won by 466,078 votes. The red-haired Reuther, perhaps best known for his many proposals for social change in the United States, succeeds the late Philip Murray who had guided the CIO for a dozen years before his sudden death Nov. 9. Despite the bitter battle between the opposing Reuther and Haywood forces, both sides pledged afterward to bury this hatchet and work together in the future. In a speech accepting the CIO's top post, Reuther pledged to follow in Murray's footsteps and said he intended to build the CIO into a bigger and more effective labor organization as a monument to Murray's memory. Reuther said, "the fat men sitting on plush cushions in the union league clubs across the country will be fooled if they think the CIO will split apart." "We are not going out of here divided," he declared. "We are going out of here united to carry on until we win." He said when "reactionary managements" fail to "give the work- to spend $16,880,000 on the project. This would include $1,300,000 in street and sanitary improvements according to E. A. Staulston, secretary of the company. The tract site of 125 acres on the north side of 19th street, about 500 feet west of Placentia Ave., on Costa Mesa's west side, will have 532 lots, as the first unit immediately proposed. Purchase of another 20 acres adjacent to the site, to contain 87 lots, will bring the total to 619 homes in one subdivision. The company has started escrow proceedings on acreage south of Orange Coast College, on Harbor Boulevard, where another 1078 homes are planned. Other scattered tracts are being purchased, to be subdivided into 380 lots. The houses will have three or four bedrooms. Raulston said. The initial subdivision proposes to connect with sanitary sewers. If they are available through the Costa Mesa Sanitary District and County Sanitation District No. 6. Otherwise septic tanks or other means of handling sewage will be installed. Raulston's announcement of the project took no note of the move by Newport Beach to acquire a public dump site in the area, a move that has aroused widespread objection in Costa Mesa. It had been reported that if the dump site is established, Republic Construction Co. would abandon its subdividing plans. Fireball Cooled LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4. (F) — Betty Rowland, erstwhile "Ball of fire" burlesque stripper, is out of all and out of show business. The 35-year-old dancer, senenced Nov. 14 to four months in jail on a charge of indecent theoretical performance, was released tonight to enter a wholesale permeate business with her sister Rolle Rowland, in Beverly Hills. Municipal Judge Byron J. Walers, who sentenced her, said he thinks Betty has learned her lesson. Henry T. Babylon, 41, Santa Ana, at Parton st. and St. Andrews place, Santa Ana, yesterday. Walter E.

Others elected are Dr. Norton Donaldson of Santa Ana, vice-president; Dr. Chad Harwood of Santa Ana, secretary-treasurer; Dr. Harold Galbraith of Fullerton, trustee and Dr. Carl J. Paul of Orange, trustee. Daily Living for Peace of Mind Editor's note: This is one of a series of daily articles by Anaheim ministers and is published by the Gazette in the interest of the kind of daily living that leads to contentment and happiness in troubled times. A Look at the Future Rev. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church Dr. Arnold of Rugby, the great English school teacher, used always to salute his school children by taking off his hat when he passed them on the street. "You can never tell," he said, "whether or not you may be passing a future prime minister of Great Britain. There is little in a child or boy to indicate what he will become. There certainly was nothing about Jesus as He lay in the manger cradle at Bethlehem to show that He would become the Savior of the world. There was nothing to indicate that God had come in human flesh to share our sorrows, and die on the cross to redeem sinful humanity. As we look upon the face of a child, we may be looking at a future Lincoln, or a George Washington, or a Madame Curie, or a Sister Kenny. "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me, to sin" said Jesus, "It would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea." (Mark 9:42) Our recognition of the Divine in the child may help him to develop as God had intended. We may be saluting a future Presiding of the United States.
