Laguna Beach Iceman Arrested on Kidnapping and Sex Offense Charge
Charges of kidnapping and a sex offense involving a small girl today faced William Lawrence Ryman, 21-year-old ice man, of Laguna Beach, who allegedly took a 5-year-old girl from her bed in Emerald Bay and kept her for an hour in his apartment at 427 High Drive, Laguna Beach.
The child's cries at his abuses finally deterred Ryman, he told officers later, and he returned the little girl to her home, letting her out near the house, to run indoors through the rain.
The kidnapping took place on the night of Dec. 5 but was not disclosed by the family immediately because the child's mother disliked publicity.
panied him to a spot in Laguna canyon where he had left his own car, and took her in his car to his room, where he allegedly molested her, until she cried and he relented.
Her mother had been out for the evening, when Ryman called at the Emerald bay home, and the girl's grandmother, left in charge, had retired about a half hour before Ryman arrived. But when Ryman returned the child home at about 1 a.m., the mother had just reached home and lights were turned on. Absence of the girl from her bed was discovered just as the child reached home, rain-soaked and cold.
LATE BRIEFSEOUL, Sunday, Dec. 14 (F)—Allied big guns smashed an assault by 300 Chinese Reds in the predawn darkness today on battle-searred Little Nori Hill.

OAKLAND, Dec. 13 (F)—A dish-bouncing earthquake shook parts of the East Bay last night at 11:34 o'clock. It was described as "minor" by assistant seismologist Charles Herrick of the University of California.
He said it measured 2.4 on the Richter scale of 10, and reported its epicenter was about seven miles from the U.C. campus. No damage was reported.
Finletter Wet-Blankets Manchuria Bombing Idea
NEW YORK, Dec 13 (UP) — Secretary of the air force, Thomas Finletter said tonight that to send strategic bombers beyond the Yalu river boundary of North Korea-Manchuria “would be bombing the wrong place.”
And, he added, “It also would run the sharp risk of leading an exasperated world into an all-out war.”
Finletter’s comments were made in an address prepared for delivery before the Bronx County Bar Association as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower traveled homeward from his trip to Korea.
However, Finletter’s text made no direct reference to either the Eisenhower trip or the forthcoming meeting between the President-elect and Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who has expressed confidence there is “a clear and definite solution” to the Korean stalemate.
Finletter’s long speech covered a variety of subjects dealing with air power, including these:
1. We now have experimental planes which can fly at about twice the speed of sound 760 miles an hour at sea level “and we are talking about the production of combat planes which will have these speeds.”
2. Similarly, there is talk of jet engines producing “15,000 pounds of thrust and even higher.” The majority of jet engines now have a thrust of only a little over one-third of that.
3. In the rocket missile field, the time is foreseen when rocket engines can produce 500,000 pounds thrust and drive the missile into space at speeds approaching 20,000 miles an hour.
4. Aircraft-manned and pilotless, together with new atomic explosives—“are either going to destroy the world or have a big part in saving it.” Atomic weapons which “long range and almost incredibly fast planes” can deliver “on any enemy who might attack us are the greatest destructive force that man has ever had in his hands.”
On the question of bombing beyond North Korea, Finletter said:
“The decision of 1950 to limit bombing to North Korea is. I believe, right There is no point in bombing the wrong place. The real source of Chinese Communist strength in airplanes, guns, tanks, ammunition and other war materiel is not in China . . .
“I doubt if the Chinese Communists will challenge our air superiority over our own lines unless and until they receive the new Russian twin-engine jet light bomber, of which the IL-28 has been publicly announced as a type, for this plane has the range—which the MIG has not—to fly from bases in China and fight a long time over our United Nations lines and even deeper south.
“The trouble with this is that if we did bomb over the Yalu, the Communists would just move farther back and we wouldn’t be any better off. In fact, we would be worse off because we would have to fly farther than we do now to hit our target.”

Truman Gives up on Manning WSB; Putnam Given Wage Control Job
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (UP) — President Truman, balked in his quest for business men to serve on the Wage Stabilization Board, tonight authorized Economic Stabilizer Roger L. Putnam to take over the task of decontrolling wages.
Putnam, in turn, will delegate the authority to the four new men now representing the public on the Wage Board. He said they will tackle a pending logjam of thousands of wage raise cases as soon as the necessary documents are signed.
The Wage Board is a three-part agency, consisting of public industry and labor members. It has been paralyzed for a week because seven industry members resigned with a hot blast at Truman's action in granting John L. Lewis' soft coal miners a $1.90 daily wage.

Russian UN Worker Fired; State Department Tags Him As Russ Espionage Agent
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Dec. 13 (UP)—The United Nations has fired a highly-placed Russian employs who was tagged as a Soviet spy by the American State Department.
He is Nikolai Skvortsov, who was personal and confidential aide to Constantin E. Zinchenko, a now-absent U. N. assistant secretary-general who was the highest ranking Soviet national in the secretariat.
Skvortsov was boss of the Soviet's state farm system before he came here in 1950.
Skvortsov have always held the assistant secretary-general post for security council affairs since the council first met in 1845.
This means both Zinchenko and Skvortsov were in position to see some of the most restricted UN political documents — from the council's atomic energy commission, which have held many closed meetings attended by selected personnel.
The United States, however, has made clear that it never furnished the UN confidential military or atomic information. There was some talk in the UN last summer that Secretary General Trygve Lie was restricting Zinchenko's activities then.
Acquaintances of Skvortsov described him as a jovial blonde Russian who mingled freely with other secretariat people, an unusual thing for a Russian to do here.
They said he had served at various times in the past in Soviet embassies at Ottawa, Can., and Tehran. Iran. They said he spoke English and French fluently.
Both Ottawa and Tehran have been the scenes of Russian undercover activity.
The U. S. state department said that Skvortsov was fired by the UN after the department told
Probation Denied Young Check Artist
Garland Carl Van Dinter, 18-year-old Seattle check passer, was referred to the California Youth Authority Friday by Superior Judge Franklin G. West, who denied the youth's plea for probation, in view of his prior record at the Preston School of Industry.
A jury at Van Dinter's trial found him guilty of passing two bogus checks.

They said he had served at various times in the past in Soviet embassies at Ottawa, Can., and Tehran. Iran. They said he spoke English and French fluently.
Both Ottawa and Tehran have been the scenes of Russian undercover activity.
The U.S. state department said that Skvortsov was fired by the UN after the department told Secretary General Tryave Lie that Skvortsov had "violated a U.S. law." Lie was told in September, a state department source said.
According to U.S sources here, this is the chronology of the Skvortsov case:
For over a year the U.S. has received secret reports on the Russian's emigration. These reportedly took place outside the U.N. and did not involve Skvortsov's UN job.

Greater Love ...
By Rev. Wm McKinley Walker
Wesley Methodist Church
Perhaps you read it! The United Press carried over the news wires the story of Mary Emma Davidson, a woman of sixty years, who was fatally injured in saving a child from being run over by a truck.
This sad story of loss of life had one compensating thought. Mrs. Davidson, just before her death said, "I am alright. I have had my day; but that little girl's day is yet to come."
Jesus said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for a friend, (another)" (John 15:13).
Our men and women in the Service are doing that very thing in Korea; but we hardly think of them as having 'had their day' as Mary Davidson expressed it. Whether they were 'forced' to go or not, nevertheless they are offering their young lives that people today and in the future may have life unhampered.
As we breathe a prayer this morning for guidance and protection for our boys and girls in Service, may we ask the good Lord to show us how we can be helpful to others we meet today, and especially to the little ones. May I suggest that you turn new to your Bible and read St. Mark 10:36-42.
