HARD AGROUND—High winds and rough seas off the Washington coast are hampering rescue ships trying to free the freighter Yorkmar (above), hard aground near the Grays Harbor jetty (in background). Capt. Oscar Kullbom, Portland, Ore., none of 37 crewmen were hurt and ship in danger of breaking up. Water District to Seek Larger MWD Feeder Line into the County Inadequacy of the planned Metropolitan Water District feeder line into Orange county, via Santa Ana canyon, to supply all the water that will be needed in the local basin, brought suggestion at yesterday's meeting of the Orange County Water District directors that a move be made to obtain a larger line. Director C. Roy Browning of Tustin reported a conversation with MWD engineers in which Browning urged that the proposed capacity of 220 second feet flow be increased to 400 ing said he believed the matter of a larger feeder line should be taken up directly with the MWD board of directors, through the five members from Orange county. The MWD feeder line as proposed would terminate near the Santiago dam, with a lateral branching across the river to provide delivery points for the Anaheim Union Water Co. and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co., also the Orange County Water District.

Director C. Roy Browning of Tustin reported a conversation with MWD engineers in which Browning urged that the proposed capacity of 220 second feet flow be increased to 400 second feet. Browning said the MWD engineers refused to consider the increase, because of added cost, and told Browning that if the Orange County Water District wanted to continue buying more surplus water from MWD than the proposed line would carry, it would have to receive the water at the Arlington aqueduct as at present. Because the present method, involving a flow of 20 miles down the Santa Ana river to the Orange county spreading grounds, results in loss by evaporation, and disputing with the Anaheim Union Water Co. over the taking of such water into its canals without entering an agreement for compensating the water district, Brown- OCWD to Meet with Water Basin Committee on Replenishment Costs Meeting with the Orange county water basin committee to discuss proposed contents of the amended water district bill in connection with spreading cost of basin replenishment, will be requested by the water district directors, they decided yesterday, when they heard a report of suggested provisions regarding district representation and taxing powers. Attorney Rodger Howell, counsel for the water district, who has been working with the conservation committee, outlined to the directors principal provisions, including the proposal that directors in the seven existing divisions of the water district be elected by popular vote instead of the present vote based on accessed property valuation, while the three new districts created by annexation of Santa na, Anaheim and Fullerton, each have a director appointed by their respective city councils. Water district directors frown-ed on the popular vote suggestion. Director E. T. Watson pointed out that the method would immediately give the cities complete control of the district. Other directors agreed with him. Engineer Paul Bailey said that experience in other districts throughout the state shows that election of directors on the basis of assessed property valuation had proved more successful, and has shown that in such cases the taxing of property is in harmony with the benefits received. Attorney A. W. Rutan recommended a study of the draft of the bill to amend the water district act be made and then a meeting requested with the conservation committee to discuss its provisions. Meanwhile, steps were ordered taken to have the title of the bill introduced as early as possible in the legislature, to secure a place on the legislative calendar, with final details of the bill to be submitted later.

(AP)—A killer with a lust for gunplay was shot down by a game cop early today in a wildly blazing gun battle in the Times Square area. Six other persons, including three policemen were hit. At least eight policemen had a hand in the running pre-dawn gunfight that surged along three blocks on Eighth ave.—a wild west affray in the heart of sophisticated Manhattan. The gunman, Clarence O. Sims, 37-year-old Negro holdup man from Cleveland, all but got away as whining bullets sent frightened early morning passersby scrambling for cover. However, patrolman Cornelius O'Shea, 24, intercepted Sims. The cop charged the gunman, traded him shot for shot and finally sent him spinning to the pavement with bullets in his head and hand. Other policemen then closed in. Sims' skull was fractured, his jaw smashed. Before the gunman was taken to a hospital, near death, O'Shea sheathed his gun, then knelt coolly beside his fallen foe, told him he was dying and got Sims to admit a long list of unsolved stickups. Later, police said Sims told them from a guarded hospital bed that he shot and killed a man Nov. 1 in a Harlem brawl. King Gustav of Sweden Gives Out 1952 Nobel Prizes BY GUSTAV SVENSSON STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec. 10. (AP)—King Gustaf Adolf distributed the 1952 Nobel prizes tonight.

Medicine—Dr. Selman A. Waksman, 54, Russian born American scientist of Rutgers university, New Brunswick, N.J., named for his work in discovery of strep-tomycin as a wonder drug weapon against tuberculosis. Physics—Dr. Felix Bloc, 47, a Swiss born professor of Stanford university, and Dr. Edward Mills Burcell, 40 of Harvard university, named jointly for their independent development of a new method of measuring magnetic fields in atomic nuclei.

Local Old-Timer Likes New Gazette, Recalls Items from Anaheim’s Past The Gazette was favored yesterday by the following letter from Ed. R. Heinze, who lives at 1209 Lincoln ave. It is reprinted here because of the warm glow it gave Ye Editor and because of the past history of Anaheim it contains. Gentlemen: Just a few words of praise for your brand new paper. Have been taking it ever since you came to press this last time, and must say, it is getting better all the time. I am not one to praise where praise is not due, but your paper and staff deserve praise for this outstanding fete in trying to build a better paper in these very uncertain times. I congratulate you all. I notice where you miss the column of the good old days (Days of Long Age, by Mrs. Henry Kuchel) every once in a while. This is one column I REALLY like reading. I am a native of Anaheim, having been born and raised here on E. Sycamore and Sabina sts. I wish you would print more of the 75-year stuff, as I am always trying to remember the people I knew in the long age. For instance, J. J. Dwyer used to be my Dad's boss way back when he was mayor of our fair city. We lived on his ranch in a two-story house where the Mother Colony house now stands. The red barn still is there. We played there when we were children. There were no streets around there then, and just past Five Points was the desert or range land. Nothing but cactus them. They used to have a crone every year on the lot where Jackson's Drug store is now. They used to cross a bridge over the Santa Ana river where La Palma park now stands to go to Fullerton. They had a "slow of saloons" in each block here in town ton. We used to swipe the bottles in the alley and bring them in the front to sell. Have John S. Neubauer put Sunday paper would be just the issue to read it in. Have a small magazine-type paper like the LA paper puts out on Sundays—just for old Anaheim. Wishing you very much success in your new venture, I remain E. R. Heinze. SANTA MONICA, Dec. 9 (AP)—Red Skelton underwent X-ray examination today in the hospital where he is being treated for an unside-down stomach.

No Persons Hurt In Collision of Ships Near SD SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 10 (AP) The freighter Seafort and the U.S. escort carrier Sitkoh Bay limped into port here today after colliding at sea 35 miles southwest of San Diego last night. No casualties were reported on either ship, but both vessels suffered damage. C.I. Petrin of Baltimore, seaman on the freighter said "only a miracle prevented loss of life" as all of the crew except those on duty were in the mess hall on the port side at the time of the collision. Merio Diicco of Obington, Mass., said the sound of the carrier crashing against the freighter's starboard bow was "like a big explosion." He said he docked behind a bulkhead to escape a shower of steel splinters. Capt. Dragutin Domae, skipper of the Seafort, and the first mate were on the bridge when the edge of the Sitkoh Bay's flight deck smashed 30 feet of the Seafort's bridge and caved in bulwarks on the starboard side for 350 feet. There are hundreds of varieties of pineapples, in many shapes, sizes and colorings but the original fruit from which they were all developed was Brazilian.
