Two More Red Prisoners Die As Result Of Sunday's Riot on Pongam Island by SAM SUMMERLIN PUSAN, Korea, Tuesday, Dec. 16 (UP)—The United Nations Prisoner of War Command reported today two more Communists had died of wounds received when Allied guards quelled a mass break attempt on Pongam Island Sunday. It brought to 84 the announced prisoner dead in the organized riot by 3,600 die-hard North Korean Reds. The U. N. Command said many died of bayonet wounds. Some 120 state Department Suspends Vincent For 'Reasonable Doubt of Loyalty' WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (UP)—The state department today suspended career diplomat John Carter Vincent after a government board found "there is reasonable doubt as to his loyalty." The action is subject to review by President Truman and Secretary of State Acheson. At the same time the department announced that the U. S. civil service commission's loyalty review board has found "no reasonable doubt about the loyalty" of John Paton Davies, Jr. Britain Orders Consulate Closed At Tientsin LONDON, Dec. 15 (UP)—Britain ordered closed today one of her three remaining consulates in China as the Communist death-grip on her ancient Chinese trade continued unrelaxed. The Foreign Office said the consulate-general at Tientsin will be folded up as soon as possible. That means Britain's diplomatic representation in China has backpedalled under Peiping government pressure to only two positions: A consulate-general at Shanghai, across the Yellow Sea from Korea's southern tip, and the Consular Department of the Embassy of Russia. Another key state department career officer. Both Vincent and Davies have figured in repeated inquiries into charges of Communist infiltration into the government. The department announced that Vincent, now U. S. minister at Tangier, Morocco, has been summoned home. The loyalty review board recommended that Vincent be fired, the department said. The department only suspended Vincent, however, and announced that President Truman will discuss the case with Acheson when Acheson returns from the NATO conference at Paris this weekend. As for Davies, the review board said that regardless of "the wisdom or judgment of Mr. Davies as a foreign service officer," there was "unreasonable doubt" of his loyalty. Davies is deputy director of the office of political affairs in the office of the U. S. high commissioner for Germany, at Bonn. Vincent was accused by Louis Budenz, former editor of the Communist Daily Worker, in testimony before the senate security subcommittee of being a Communist and "under Communist discipline." He was criticized by the committee along with Owen Lattimore, Johns Hopkins university teacher, after Vincent underwent a four-day hearing early this year. Meanv Confers Two U. S. and two South Koreans soldiers also were injured by rock-hurling Reds who ignored all orders to halt and charged the guards in waves, the UN prisoner of war command announced. The allied announcement was expected to bring angry new protests from the Communist trust delegation and blasts from the Red radio. It was the bloodiest uprising yet exceeding by one number of Red prisoners killed in a Feb. 18 riot on Koje island. Pongam is a small, terraced wind-swept island about one and one half miles off the southwest tip of Koje. The UN command, in announcing the action Monday, said "orders, warning shots and riot guns had no effect on the organized mob." "When three waves of fanatical Communists advanced on the guards, individual weapons were brought to bear when their power became necessary to prevent the entire mass from breaking out," the command said. The announcement did not further classify the "individual weapons" used, but presumably this included automatic carbines and sub-machineguns. If China Won't Settle, Wage War, Douglas Says NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (UP)—Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas says the United Nations should seek a "political settlement" with Red China, and if that fails then wage "all-out war." Bunco Artists Cheat Woman of Funds It cost Mrs. Jennie Cackler, housewife of 220 S. Broadway, Santa Ana, $3076 to gain first-hand acquaintance with the time-worn bunte game known as the "lost money." Mrs. Ana police reported today, as they searched for two young Negro women who "took" Mrs. Cackler for that sum. Mrs. Cackler took $2000 from her safety box in a Santa Ana bank and handed it over to a Negro woman whom she had met for the first time a few minutes earlier in a down-town store, and who promised to return it to her "in 10 minutes" with an additional $1200. The $1200 was supposed to represent one-third of a sum of $3000 the Negro woman had found. Later, Mrs. Cackler discovered further that her purse, containing $76, had been stolen. Mrs. Cackler met one young Negress in a variety store, where the latter asked her to help pick out a geranium plant, in order to strike up acquaintances. They proceeded on to the Penney store, chatting together. In the rest room there, they encountered another Negro woman, who was acquainted with the first. "You still working for that man?" inquired the first Negress. "Yes, I've been with him quite awhile now?" responded No. 2, adding, "Do you know, I just found $3800!" This announcement created proper surprise. No. 2 then added: "I took the money for my boss to ask him about keeping it. He said it would be alright, if I could not two other people to put up $1200 each. Then we would split the $3600 three ways, and be protected against anyone trying to claim it." Negress No. 1 quicklyooka up and said she had $2500 right there in her purse, and would like to make $1200 with it. No. 2 took her money, telling her to wait a few minutes while she showed it to her boss. She returned in about 10 minutes and handed No. 1 her purse, with an additional huge roll of bills, said he be $1200. No. 1 demurred, saying she wanted Mrs. Cackler to get her share. No. 2 then asked Mrs. Cackler if she had any money. Mrs. Cackler said she could get $3000 if she had to. She and No. 1 then went to the bank and got the $3000 returning to meet No. 2 at Fifth and Bush sts. No. 2 said they mustn't hand over the money there; too many people were about. So they followed No. 2 to the Mongomery Ward store at Fourth and Main, where she stepped inside the entrance and received the money from Mrs. Cackler, then departed, telling Mrs. Cackler she would return in 10 minutes, and to walt in the rest room. Mrs. Cackler and Negress No. 1 started for the rest room. When she arrived there, Mrs. Cackler found that she was alone. No. 1 had quietly disappeared after No. 2, and the $3000, and the purse with $76. Mrs. Cackler waited in vain. ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1879 TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16, 1952 5 Cents per Copy 50 Cents per Month No. 293 New Battery Plant Here General Motors Officials Announce Plans at Lunch for Local Leaders Delco-Remy division of General Motors Corporation will build a new factory west of Anaheim. Announcement of the corporation's plans was made yesterday at a luncheon in Anaheim Elks club, given for local civic and business leaders by G-M. by H. D. Dawson, general manager of the Delco-Remy division, whose headquarters are in Anderson, Ind. The plant, to be located west of Magnolia ave., between LaPalma ave. and the Southern Pacific railroad, will be devoted to the manufacture of automobile storage batteries, Dawson said. The new 175,000 square-foot plant will employ about 300 persons. Its production will supplement facilities of the division in Muncie, Ind., and New Brunswick, N.J. "We have been considering the possibility of a West Coast plant for several years," Dawson said. "and now we are very happy to see it become a reality in such a fine community as Anaheim." Employees of the plant, he said, will come from Anaheim and its environs with the exception of a few key personnel to be transferred from other plants because of their experience in battery production. Construction of the new plant is to begin as soon as National Production Authority approval has been received and construction contracts can be let. Annaheim dignitaries attending the luncheon included Mayor Charles Pearson and the heads of the city's department Press. US Charges Red UN Official Recruited Agents UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Dec. 15. (EP)—The U.S. has accused a Russian official, fired from the UN, of trying all last year to US Charges Red UN Official Recruited Agents UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Dec. 15. (UP)—The U.S. has accused a Russian official, fired from the UN, of trying all last year to recruit agents in the U.S. for a Soviet spy ring, it was learned tonight. His role was uncovered. It was reported, when he was caught trying to make a contact with a person outside the UN for espionage purposes. The $8,000 a year Russian political officer, Nikolai Skvortsov, worked under an assumed name in his activities, the U.S. accusations are reported to have said. Soviet delegation heads here and the Soviet government in Moscow were notified of the reason that lay back of Skvortsov's dismissal after he could not get a re-entry visa to return to his post from a home leave in Mscow. The Soviet delegation made no public protest like the howl it raised when Valentin Gubitschev was trapped as a spy in 1949 with government girl Judith Coplon—and did not acknowledge the UN's notification. Gee Whizz ... Golly We were embarrassed and proud today... we had more people tell us nice things about our MORNING NEWSPAPER and our SECOND SUNDAY EDITION than those who said "well MAYBE, but we will wait and see." One thing was interesting... and MOST IMPORTANT... the praise and criticism was sincere... THAT HELPS US both ways... because we here at the GAZETTE can accept praise in deep humility... and accept criticism with a feeling of GRATITUDE for the interest shown in our efforts FOR ALL IN ANAHEIM that we try to serve, and because it serves to guide us in our future moves. There is only one way we can say thank you for your interest and that IS TO SAY "THANK YOU." Eisenhower Plunges into Confabs On Europan Unity Against Reds NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (UP) — President-elect Eisenhower, just back from his Korean "look and learn" trip, plunged today into talks on European unity against a number of years." Asked if West German rearmament was discussed, McCloy said "not particularly, except in rela-tionship." Eisenhower Plunges into Confabs On Europan Unity Against Reds NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (UP) — President-elect Eisenhower, just back from his Korean "look and learn" trip, plunged today into talks on European unity against Communism. Eisenhower conferred with John J. McCloy, former U.S. high commissioner in Germany, and John Foster Dulles, who will be his secretary of state. The nature of the talks indicated the president-elect was weighing whatever plans he might have concerning Korea with the rest of the world picture. McCloy, who lunched with Eisenhower and Dulles, said, "We talked about the steps that might be taken in relation to European unity, a subject we have all been engaged in and interested in for a number of years." Asked if West German rearmament was discussed, McCloy said "not particularly, except in relation to other things." The talks covered "a wide variety" of subjects, McCloy said. McCloy was high commissioner in the former enemy country for three years marked by tension between Soviet Russia and the West, with Berlin as the focal point. He retired last August. There was no amplification from Eisenhower's headquarters on his statement yesterday, as his plane arrived from Korea, that the enemy would not be impressed by words "but only by deeds—executed under circumstances of our own choosing." A Good Story But is it True? Raymond Sancher Palacios, of Costa Mesa, was walking past a bar in the 900 block on East Fourth street Saturday night when a voice came out of the darkness beside the building, saying "Hey, want a drink?" Palacios wheeled without missing a stride and reached into the darkness for the drink. Instead there was a loud report and a large calibre bullet tore half his left index finger off. He hurried to the home of his brother-in-law at 615 Stafford st., and was taken to the county hospital. That was his story to Santa Ana police. After failing to find blood at the scene and only one shot in front of 615 Stafford, and finding that no one in the bar heard a shot, and discovering that Palacios is on parole from Merced, where he served 16 months for auto theft, police said "maybe" it happened that way.

Wilson and Palomar Observatories.) No 'Compromise' Policy on Truce Said Down By State Department UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Dec. 15 (AP)—The United States tonight laid down a "no compromise" policy on a Korean truce and served notice it cannot see any purpose in ending fresh plans to the Reds for settling the prisoner of war issue. "The responsibility for whether there shall be peace in Korea clearly lies with the Chinese Communists and North Korea authorities and their supporters," the State Department said in an official statement after Red China rejected U.N. plan for ending the Korean War. Their study was being made against the background of U.S. resident-elect Dwight Eisenwer's statement on Korea that, we must go ahead and do things that induce the others to not peace also."

The society placed enlargements of the shots on display in its headquarters here and called attention to their publication in the January issue of its magazine. Probably the most striking of the shots—all taken at the direction of Dr. Milton L. Humason, staff astronomer at Palomar and Mt. Wilson—is that of the moon's surface. At first glance it looks like a rain-spattered mud creation of your young son. But the scientists say it is a pretty sharp photograph of "a harsh desert ribbed with mountains" and "weird craters that appear to have been gouged by meteors."

Mysterious Ways By REV. WILLIAM McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church I read somewhere that there are great oysterbeds in the mouth of the Rhine River. If that be the case where do the oysters get the lime for their shells? After deep thought, I realized the lime must come from the far-off Alps to the lowly oysters in the North Sea. The sun itself works for the oyster, for it lifts the vapors to the heights where they become snow. And the snow in turn becomes a glacier that grinds and pulverizes the rocks of the Alps into fine particles. Then hundreds of leaping waterfalls and roaring mountain brooks fling themselves down the heights carrying that much-needed lime. Soon the stately Rhine, famous in story and song, flows past great cities and ancient castles, bearing the materials so essential to the oysters in making their shells. Why do you worry about your needs? Surely if God so marvelously cares for the lovely things of His creation, how much more will He care for you, His child, made in His image. Pick up your Bible now and read St. Matthew 6:25-34; and take Jesus at His word.
