548 Die in Holiday Planners Okay Big Costa Mesa Subdivision The big ruckus over Republic Construction Co.'s big-time subdivision at Costa Mesa was of no interest to the Orange county planning commission; it recommended a variance permit for the first unit of 532 houses on 125 acres near 19th st. and Placentia ave., Costa Mesa. Commissioners acted although city of Newport Beach protested that the tract was close to the proposed new dump site and the area was zoned for light industrial use. Republic is demanding in court that the city pay damages if it is permitted to burn rubbish; it wants the whole thing stopped and has intervened in a suit pending in court. The commission also gave its expected nod to another big-time Costa Mesa development. Diller-Kalsman Co., Beverly Hills, is planning 1190 single-family residences, 53 multiple-family dwellings and an eight-acre business district under a $12,000,000 program. Republic's is estimated to cost $16,880,000, when it is completed. Also approved: a subdivision of 3.7 acres at Valley Home ave. and Russell st. La Habra, northwest district. It will be improved by A. L. Gindling of Los Angeles. It will have septic tanks. Both Republic and Diller-Kalsman at Costa Mesa must install septic tanks, but also sewer connections in case of annexation to Costa Mesa sanitary district. 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME XXXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Allied Bombers Rip Red Center In Heavy Raid SEOUL, Sunday, Dec. 28, UPI—Two hundred allied warplanes bombed a sprawling Communist supply center near the Red Korean capital of Pyongyang into a flaming pyre today. It was one of the biggest raids on a single target since last August. Towering smoke clouds billowed over the target. Planes from four Fifth air force fighter-bomber wings and marine air group 33 converged on the target starting at 11 a.m. Swift Sabre jets patrolled the cold skies to the north, protecting the slower fighter-bombers against Red jets which have swept far south in recent days. Allied pilots said the heavily damaged 70 buildings and explosions indicated they had touched off ammunition stores. Frigid cold held the ground war 70 patrol actions. Temperatures on the western front last night dipped to one below zero. Chinese Reds sent out patrols in greater numbers Saturday. Stalking allied raiders turned them back in short, sharp fights which crippled the Red probs. Bank Branch Here To Issue License Tabs from Jan. 2 Want to know an easy way to get your 1953 automobile license tabs this year? You can get them at Anaheim branch of Bank of America. It was announced today by O. E. Hanson, manager, who said that fees will be accepted and the tabs handed over the counter from Jan. 2 through Feb. 4, doing regular banking hours. The branch is located at 203 E. Center st. Hanson explained that many banks are being asked by Director A. H. Henderson of the California Department of Motor Vehicles to cooperate in issuing the tabs, and that the banking offices authorized by the department will operate special windows to handle them. Director Henderson emphasized that only auto and commercial license plate tabs can be obtained at the banks. All other tabs must be obtained at a branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles. He added that the banks make no charge for the tab service. Persons taking advantage of this convenient way of getting their license tags must bring along their 1953 potential registration card, which should have been received in the mail now, or will be within a very few days. The form is in duplicate. One copy is left with the bank for forwarding to the Department of Motor Vehicles. The other is validated and becomes the registration card, or "white slip" which is carried in the vehicle. Happy New Year? LONDON, Dec. 27 (U)—Red China radio at Pelipeng announced tonight it will broadcast a New Year's message tomorrow Allied pilots said the heavily damaged 70 buildings and explosions indicated they had touched off ammunition stores. Frigid cold held the ground war 70 patrol actions. Temperatures on the western front last night dipped to one below zero. Chinese Reds sent out patrols in greater numbers Saturday. Stalking allied raiders turned them back in short, sharp fights which crippled the Red probs. Eighth army headquarters gave no explanation of the stepped-up Red patrolling. An allied raiding party on the western front ripped into a Chinese unit of 75 east of the Panmunjom truce talks village and left 53 Communists dead or wounded in the snow. The savage pre-dawn fight in near-zero temperatures lasted 40 mintues, an Eighth army summary said. Another allied patrol that moved out west of Chorwon on the central front at about the same time hit an estimated 60 Communists strung out in ambush position. The allies called for artillery support and when the clash was over 70 Chinese were dead and 30 wounded. On the eastern front a patrol battled 20 Chinese in an hour-long machinegun, hand grenade and mortar fight that left seven Reds dead. On the extreme eastern end of the 155 mile line, a north Korean patrol suffered 13 casualties in a one hour probing-attack. Three Arraigned For 'Stick-Up' Three young men who courted 40 years in prison for $40 were in Superior court's criminal session to answer for armed stickup of a corner ice cream stand in Orange last Dec. 11. Two of them, James Ochoa, 20, of Norwalk, and William Arellanes, 23, also of Norwalk, admitted their guilt and threw themselves on mercy of the court, asking probation. They will be sentenced Jan. 9.

Poles Accuse US Spies and Equipment WARSAW, Poland, Dec. 27 (A) Poland accused the United States today of flaving two spies from Wiesbaden Nov. 4 and parachuting them 40 miles behind her Baltic Sea frontier. A press announcement said the two were arrested and had confessed. That story is obviously a fake," said a U. S. Air Force spokesman at Wiesbaden, West Germany. He said there was no record of an American plane having been anywhere in the Baltic area near Poland on that day. The charge recalled a spate of similar accusations against the U.S. a year ago, when communist countries were shooting at a prosecution of the Mutual Security Act for the aid of anti-communist exiles. At that time the communists declared a U. S. plane forced down with four crewmen in Hungary, was equipped for parachuting espionage agents.

Eisenhower May Consult GOP Senate On Possible Peace Talks with Russ NEW YORK, Dec. 27. (AP)—President-elect Eisenhower may discuss Premier Stalin's world peace overtures with senate Republican leaders to get their view on feasibility of conferences with the Russians. That possibility developed as Eisenhower met at his Columbus university residence today with Lewis W. Douglas, former ambassador to Great Britain in the Truman administration. The general and Douglas—who backed Eisenhower for the presidency—were together for 90 minutes and Douglas said afterward they had talked "very slantingly" about Stalin's latest peace statement. Douglas did not elaborate. He said the conference also dealt "briefly" with the forthcoming visit of Britain's prime minister, Winston Churchill, to the United States. Churchill is scheduled to arrive in New York on Jan. 5. He plans to confer with Eisenhower here and with President Truman later in Washington. No date has been announced for the conference, but the general's headquarters said earlier it probably would be held before the 83rd congress convenes next Saturday. Senators scheduled to meet with Eisenhower are Robert A. Taft of Ohio, slated to be majority leader in the new Republican controlled congress; Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, in line to be president pro tempore—the senate's presiding officer in the absence of the vice president; Eugene D. Millikin of Colorado; chairman of the conference of all GOP senators, and Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts, who served as assistant minority leader in the last congress. Brodie Twins Still Critically Ill CHICAGO, Dec. 27 (AP)—The Brodie Siamese twins, separated 11 days ago, remained in critical condition tonight.

A hospital spokesman said Roger Lee—who has been in a deep coma remains "very precarious" and is being fed an ounce of high protein liquid intravenously every 30 minutes. Rodney Dee, conscious since Dec. 18 but in critical condition, "eats quite a bit," the hospital said. Both youngsters are in oxygen tents.

A dispatch from Kingston, the capital, said the whole population of the Caribbean Island was pleased by word of his holiday plans. Officials and leading citizens there called it the greatest news in many years.

Ned H. Dearborn, president of the National Safety Council, said Saturday: "It looks now as if the holiday traffic death toll may reach an all-time high for any holiday by going to 700 or more." He attributed the "wholesale slaughter" to good weather, "open roads, and closed minds." The Safety Council had estimated 590 highway deaths for the 1952 Christmas weekend—which extends from 6 p.m. Wednesday to midnight Sunday.

(P)—military high command stump up its call for draftees for U.S. army today to the high-level reached since early in Korean war. It asked selec-service to induct 53,000 men February. This raised the prospect that year-olds would be drafted increasing numbers.

The Man Who Missed Christmas By FRANK E. BUTTERWORTH Pastor, White Temple Methodist Church When you are thinking about the more prominent characters in the Christmas story, did you ever stop to think about the poor innkeeper of Bethlehem: the man who missed Christmas? He was a good-hearted fellow, generous and charitable, and willing enough to make some sort of an arrangement to provide shelter for a poor woman in obvious physical distress. But he lacked one thing: the religious insight to see that God had a stake in this matter. So he went about his rushing business of registering distinguished guests and preparing meals for a holiday crowd and making lots of money—and in so doing, he missed the big event in the stable! Our streets are crowded with men like that innkeeper; good-hearted and kind folk whose only problem is their absorption in the machinery of everyday living that blinds them to the things that really matter. And not until they are faced with their oversight thru a child going wrong or a bitter end to a crisis, do they cry, "Why didn't I see it before?" Are we like that poor innkeeper?
