Acheson Called before Taft Expects Harmony 'twixt Ike and Congress NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (UP)—Sen. Robert A. Taft talked with President-elect Eisenhower today and said he expected harmony between the White House and congress although he still thought the general's appointment of Martin Durkin as labor secretary was "incredible." Taft and three GOP senatorial colleagues conferred with Eisenhower for two and a half hours, largely on a prospective legislative program, but also on procedure for job appointments in the new administration. Taft told newsmen he felt a "general understanding" had been reached for "adequate consultation of senators" with respect to new appointments. Sen. Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts said Eisenhower "indicated a desire to cooperate with congress in legislative matters, on appointments and all other matters." It was the first meeting between Eisenhower and Taft since the Ohioan hung the "incredible" tag on the appointment of Durkin. Taft told a news conference: "We didn't discuss Durkin but the method of appointments and the part of the senate in consulting on appointments." "Do you still consider the appointment of Mr. Durkin as incredible?" a newsman asked. "Yes," Taft shot back, sharply. Immediately following the conference, Eisenhower announced the selection of two men for state department posts. Rep. Thurston Ballard Morton, Kentucky Republican, was designating himself as governor proposes. He Couldn't Take It With Him BERKELEY, Dec. 30 (UP) — Unlike most other men, Harry Yool didn't go wild when he won $140,000 in the Irish Sweepstakes last year. Instead the 59-year-old electrician banked the money and kept his job, figuring he'd have plenty of time to spend it after paying $87,000 in federal and state taxes. Last March, Yool decided to retire. Using only the money he had saved earlier, he made a down payment on a small country home. Yesterday, the last of four tax installments on the sweepstakes winnings was paid. And last night Yool died in a hospital after an operation. Dr. Condon Gets High Honor from Scientific Group ST. LOUIS, Dec. 30 (UP) — Dr. Edward U. Condon was installed as highway patrolman H. E. Alla said a northbound truck-trail driven by Paul A. Lininger, 47, 2175 E. Lindsay st., Stockton, a parently went out of control of wet pavement on a curve and jack-knifed. The truck struck bridge and the trailer broke loose and crushed Anderson's south bound car, he added. Taft told a news conference: "We didn't discuss Durkin but the method of appointments and the part of the senate in consulting on appointments." "Do you still consider the appointment of Mr. Durkin as incredible?" a newsman asked. "Yes," Taft shot back, sharply. Immediately following the conference, Eisenhower announced the selection of two men for state department posts. Rep. Thurston Ballard Morton, Kentucky Republican, was designated as assistant secretary of state, and Herman Phleger San Francisco attorney, was chosen as legal advisor to John Foster Dulles, secretary of state-designate. Judge May Delay Rosenberg Deaths NEW YORK, Dec. 30 UP—The judge who doomed the Rosenberg atom any team indicated today he may delay execution to give them time for a White House appeal. Julius Rosenberg and his wife, Ethal, are scheduled to die the week of Jan. 11 in the Sing Sing Prison electric chair for conspiring to betray atom secrets to Russia. They are the first Americans ever so condemned in a civil court. Federal Judge Irving R. Kaufman promised after a hearing today to carefully re-examine the evidence in the case which he climaxed 20 months ago by pronouncing the death penalty. Unless the execution date is stayed, President Truman might be asked to grant clemency to the Rosenbergs. WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 UP—A House armed services subcommittee recommended today the use of Nationalist Chinese troops in the Korean fighting whenever U.S. military leaders believe they are fit for combat. Dr. Condon Gets High Honor from Scientific Group ST. LOUIS, Dec. 30 UP—Dr. Edward U. Condon was installed as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science by the organization's council ahead of schedule today in a precedent-breaking show of confidence. Dr. Condon, who has been under fire by the House Committee on un-American Activities, was to have been inducted as the new head of the association Jan. 15 without ceremony. But the policy-making council of 250 moved up the date and gave Dr. Condon a rousing ovation as he was handed the president's gavel by Dr. Detlev W. Bronk, president of Johns Hopkins University and the retiring AAAS president. The House committee said in Washington Saturday that Dr. Condon was not qualified for any position involving the national security because of his "propensity" for associating with persons of questionable loyalty. No Gazette Edition New Year's Day Following its usual custom, the Anaheim Morning GAZETTE will not publish tomorrow, New Year's Day, so that its workers may enjoy the holiday with families and friends, or travel to Pasadena for the Rose Tournament and bowl game. The next edition of the GAZETTE will be delivered Friday morning. Soldiers Glum Over Rotation Point Boost Wednesday, Dec. 30 UP—New of the latest slowdown in the U.S. armed forces rotation system we greeted by some soldiers on the West Korean front with gloom comments. "No one knows any more what he will have enough points to home," said PFC Alma Blair, Preston, O. "This business of upping rotation points is getting to be a habit." They've done it before. Now they do it again. No one can be sure that won't happen again." Blair's reaction was fairly typical. He was referring to the announcement Tuesday by Ge Mark W. Clark's headquarter that rear area troops in Korea would need 40 instead of 38 points qualify for rotation home. Covering Today in New Operation CHICAGO, Dec. 30 (UP)—Rodney Dee Brodie, who was separated by surgery from his Siamese twin, underwent an operation today that provided a skin covering for most of his brain. The new operation lasted two hours and 15 minutes. It was undertaken to give the 15-month-old boy a start toward a normal life and to forestall a possible brain infection. Rodney and his twin, Roger Lee, had been connected at the tops of their heads before they were divided Dec. 17 in a history-making 12 hour and 40 minute operation. The separation left the youngsters without natural caps for their heads. The other twin, Roger Lee, has been in a coma since the major operation. Physicians said his condition is too precarious for any plastic procedures at this time. The plastic surgical procedure, today gave Rodney a skin top that covered approximately 75 per cent of his brain. The cap was formed of a strip of skin from Rodney's body that had been made ready in preliminary plastic procedures. The rest of the child's brain is protected by the natural membraneous skin covering. Thus, his brain is entirely protected by a natural shield. The boy was reported to have tolerated the new ordeal "fairly well." His condition was described as good as could be expected after the surgery. Today's operation was the first of a series of plastic procedures aiming at removing Rodney from the critical list and making him well and whole. Later a supporting structure—in the form of grafted bone or a plastic or metal substance—will be placed between the inner and outer brain coverings—the membraneous brain cover and the skin put in place today. That will give his brain the rigid protection it requires. Mexican Children See World for First Time Today SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 30 (UP)—The great world took form and color for the first time today for two Mexican children—their eyes cleared of blinding cataracts by Christmas Eve operations. Ignacio Rodelo, 13, and his sister, Emma, 12, saw themselves in a mirror. It returned their happy smiles. That was not many minutes after doctors had removed bandages and the children could see. Since birth, the fractures had blotted out everything except a vague sense of light and shadow. They were fitted with glasses to help them adjust their eyes to the new wonders, as they expressed their grateful happiness in many murmured "gracias"—translated into "thanks" by their father. They examined their Christmas gifts—Ignacio his white and red boat, Emma her brightly-dressed doll. They looked out of the hospital window. The trees were wonderfully green but, said Ignacio, not so big as he had imagined. Their father, Ignacio Rodelo, Sr., 54, a Tecate, Mex., school teacher, translated for them: "We can see automobiles. We can see the trees. We can see our beds. Our father is not as big as we thought." As they examined themselves in a mirror, they ran exploratory fingers over the shiny surface. It was the boy, surprisingly, who seemed more interested in study. Emma was still a little fearless as she cuddled her doll and claimed about its green, yellow and white clothes. Ignacio boldly expressed wish to get out of the hospital and explore the world for himself. Their father's joy was increased by a promise of a similar operation for himself. His sight has been falling and he had recently held his teaching job as a result. The children were brought to Mercy hospital here after M.Josephine Andazola, Free Mediologist missionary, had arranged the operations through the San Diego doctors. before House Group on U.S. OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM HEM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31, 1952 5 Cents per Copy 50 Cents per Month Proposes Ten-Year Freeway Program Indicts Increase in Gasoline Tax Pay for Expanded Road Project RAMENTO, Dec. 30 (UP) — Motion of a system of mulfreeways the length and width of the state in the next year. man Killed in County Accident ANA, Dec. 30 (UP) — A woman was killed and a critically injured today in an involving their automobil truck 10 miles south of California Highway Patrol led the dead woman as Mrs. Gibbons, 61, of 234 Woodrow Lejo, and the injured man, of the car, as Homer E.

He said it would cost the average motorist 20 cents a week on top of the taxes he is now paying. Unquestionably, the governor said, there would have to be an increase in the 4½ cent gasoline tax and other levies on highway users to finance the program. Warren said he would urge that all state agencies concerned with water problems be brought under one administrative roof. He also said he would seek another $750,000 to continue field work and surveys leading to development of the billion dollar Feather River Project. The FRP contemplates harnessing the Feather above Oroville and transporting water south as far as San Diego. The main line freeway system presumably would include such arterials as north-south U.S. 99 and 101 and east-west U.S. 40, 50, 60, 66, 70 and 80. Turning to water problems, Warren listed eight state agencies or boards which deal with water problems. Anaheim Looks Ahead As this edition of the Anaheim Morning GAZETTE the streets, the year 1952 has entered well into the hours of its life. Looking back, Anaheimners must realize that, in its difficulties of one sort and another, 1952 has been of progress for this city. Great effort has been rewarded with great achievement in practically all lines of local deavor. Our population spurred on by the establishment of industries, has spurred upward. Leaders in the city's government, in the Chamber of Commerce, its service, social fraternity and religious organizations have been alive to time of this growth and have striven mightily to improve the stability and health of the community. The results of their efforts. Who makes the Anaheim Morning GAZETTE business and our life/look back on 1952 as a year of effort and achievement too. The newspaper went through a reorganization, undertook a city-wide popularity campaign for organizations and changed to morning publication in the space of four months. The net result has been progress toward giving the ple of Anaheim better newspaper service—getting the Construction to Begin Jan. 15 on New Placentia Villa Housing Subdivision Construction is scheduled to begin Jan. 15 on Placentia Villa subdivision, Anaheim Mayor of Commerce announced today. The new housing development, located in a quarter-mile square northeast of the intersection of Placentia ave. and Anaheim-Olive rd., will include 194 three-bedroom homes, set from $11,000 to $$11,500 depending on the lot and design. In its announcement, the chamber said the development is a result of the "Live in Anaheim" campaign jointly sponsored by the chamber and local realtors and builders. Fred C. Piepenbrink, realtor, succeeded in interesting a group of developers in the Curtis, Hessel and Ward properties involved and completed the land sale this week. The leading spirit in acquiring the property and planning the development was H. W. Underhill, Los Angeles architect and member of the American Institute of Architects. He interested W. E. Clark of the Clark Construction Co. and C. L. Blanchard to join with him in incorporating the Placentia Villa Corp. "The key to better living" is the slogan chosen by the developers for their subdivision and the "key" is to be the design and decoration of the homes. Lots are to be gently sloping, many with at least one large orange tree on the lot. The homes are planned with large combination living-dining rooms on the rear opening through a wall of glass on a patio and garden for field work and surveys leading to development of the billion dollar Feather River Project. The FRP contemplates harnessing the Feather above Oroville and transporting water south as far as San Diego. The main line freeway system presumably would include such arterials as north-south U.S. 90 and 101 and east-west U.S. 40, 50, 60, 66, 70 and 86. Turning to water problems, Warren listed eight state agencies or boards which deal with water matters and said many of them operate in fields that overlap functionally and geographically. He suggested that the creation of a single water department might be too complex a problem for one session of the legislature, but a start should be made at least. Churchill Talks With Eden over Proposals to Use LONDON, Dec. 30 (UP) — Minister Churchill spent hours today discussing with elgn Secretary Anthony Ed British proposals on Western fence and Anglo-American nomine relations which he wished before President-elect Eisenhower next week. The session with Eden at 10 Downing street—Churchill official residence—follow cabinet meeting at which 78-year-old prime minister his government colleagues view of the hand he will when he meets Eisenhower New York. Responsible informants say major topics Churchill plans broach in his talks with a hower fall into four broad categories, with Korea and Minister Stalin's Christmas olive branch well to the fore: 1. British-American tactic case Stalin makes peacefully more convincing the declaration of willingness to Eisenhower seek a solution. 2.

Bedrooms will feature corner light and ventilation and large (Harry Bergh Is Planning Director) Harry Bergh, land planner in the county planning department, was appointed county planning director late yesterday by the board of supervisors, to succeed Charles Hays Diggs of Laguna Beach, who resigned. Bergh, who resides at Corona del Mar, has been on the department staff since the spring of 1947. From 1943 to 1946 he had been land planning consultant for the Federal Housing Administration at Seattle, Wash., operating through the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, reviewing community plans for FHA. Earlier he had served 17 years on the staff of the Los Angeles county Regional Planning commission, working on the planning of highways, recreation, land use and land subdivisions. He is a member of the American Institute of Planners, and editor of Cal-chapter News, official news letter of the California chapter of the institute. The board referred the question to Harold Sringer, county highway superintendent. As shown on the map, the portion of the route eastward from the Los Angeles river freeway skirts the south side of the Long Beach municipal airport, then turns southeast, skirting a corner of the Los Alamitos air station, following Garden Grove blvd., along the north side of the Seal Beach ammunition depot, and turning the corner of that installation at Bolsa Chica road to travel southeasterly again to Gisler ave., passing south of Westminster and Midway City and north of Talbert. At Gisler ave., the route turns east, passing north of the county airport and south of the Newport blvd.-S. Main st. crossing. Some distance east of the airport, it slants slightly southeast and strikes Highway 101 at a point about midway between Irvine and El Toro. Rubbish Burning Likely to Stay If the cities continue to use the county dump grounds, most cities having discontinued their own dumps when the county dumps were established, there will continue to be a nuisance from the burning of rubbish. County Highway Supt. Harold Sprenger advised the board of supervisors late yesterday, replying to a complaint from La Habra groups regarding the smoke from a county dump near that city. Sprenger, who has supervision of county dumps, said that the alternative to burning of rubbish would be the cut and cover method, which could require maintenance of a bulldozer at every dump, for daily covering of refuse. This would mean an investment of $100,000 in equipment and an increase of personnel, he pointed out. Further, he said, the elimination of burning would use up the dump areas three times as fast as when the rubbish is burned. Bidault Gives In French Crisis PARIS, Dec. 30 (P) — Premier George Bidault gave up his attempt to fuse government and dropped F cabinet crisis back into the of President Vincent Aurloe. Bidault began his attempt today. He failed because leading parties in parliaments fused to go along with his call for wider powers in gov't country.

Probe Of UN Workers 'Colossal Flop' WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (UP)—Angry House investigators today asked Secretary of State Acheson to testify tomorrow on what Rep. Frank Chelf (D-Ky.) called the State Department's "colossal flop" in dealing with disloyal Americans in the United Nations. Acheson announced he would accept the invitation to appear. The request for Acheson to take the witness stand came right after the cabinet officer rejected a demand that he disclose the names of state department officials in charge of checking on the loyalty of American citizens on the UN payroll. Acheson said he was acting "on instructions" from President Truman. In other fast breaking developments, the state department announced to the house group: 1. That charges have been lodged against "four or five" state department employees assigned to evaluate the loyalty of Americans employed by the UN, and the department has started an investigation. No names were given. 2. That the federal bureau of investigation, for the first time, will make full scale inquiries into possible Communist backgrounds of all Americans employed in key UN posts. Adrian Fisher, state department legal adviser, said President Truman is now preparing an executive order providing for the FBI investigations. Only minor employees will be exempt. The order is expected tomorrow. Testifying before the house judiciary subcommittee, Fisher said the president's order would provide that at any stage of the FBI checkups, UN Secretary General Trygve Lie may be given "derogatory information" about American employees "as a basis for suspension . . . pending a final determi- He said the department merely relayed to the UN such adverse reports as came to it. Earlier, Deputy U.S. Attorney General Ross Malone testified that the FBI had made adverse loyalty reports on 53 Americans employed on the UN staff. So far, only 27 have been fired. The "adverse list" of 53 contained coded numbers, without names. However, Robert Collier, subcommittee counsel, identified one of the 53 as David Weintraub, director of economic stabilization and development for the UN. Collier said the FBI had submitted 43 separate adverse reports on Weintraub to the state department from Jan. 31, 1945, to Nov. 12, 1952. "This man is still there?" asked Rep Keating (R-N.Y.) "Not only is he still there," Chelf said, "he is still hiring other UN employees." Quickly checking over the justice department's coded list, Chelf said that on the average the 53 American employees had been the targets of 10 to 12 adverse loyalty reports each, most of them covering a period of years. "This is startling and most revealing—the best evidence yet of laxity of conduct by the state department," Chelf commented. Acheson's refusal to give the house committee the data is sought duplicated an earlier state department refusal to disclose the information to a fed- Morning GAZETTE our 1952 as a year of mighty newspaper went through city-wide popularity contest morning publication with less toward giving the peo-service—getting the news while it can be of service.

POPY AND PROSPEROUS Churchill Talks With Eden over Proposals to US LONDON, Dec. 30 (F)—Prime Minister Churchill spent two days today discussing with Former Secretary Anthony Eden the British proposals on Western defense and Anglo-American economic relations which he will lay before President-elect Eisenhower at week. The session with Eden at No. 9 Downing street—Churchill's official residence—followed a cabinet meeting at which the 8-year-old prime minister gave his government colleagues a preview of the hand he will play when he meets Eisenhower in New York. Responsible informants said the major topics Churchill plans to reach in his talks with Eisenhower fall into four broad categories, with Korea and Prime Minister Stalin's Christmastide branch well to the fore. They: 1. British-American tactics in the Stalin makes peaceful gestures more convincing than his declaration of willingness to meet Eisenhower and seek a Korean solution. 2. Britain's desire to become party to the ANZUS Australia, New Zealand, U.S. Pacific Defense Pact. Bidault Gives up French Crisis Legal adviser, said President Truman is now preparing an executive order providing for the FBI investigations. Only minor employees will be exempt. The order is expected tomorrow. Testifying before the house judiciary subcommittee, Fisher said the president's order would provide that at any stage of the FBI checkups, UN Secretary General Trygve Lie may be given "derogatory information" about American employees "as a basis for suspension... pending a final determination" by U. S. loyalty boards. Fisher spoke out in defense of the state department after Rep. Chelf, chairman of the house group, hotly criticized the department's handling of UN loyalty cases. "Up until now," Chelf shouted, "it's a colossal flop." Fisher insisted, however, that until the new executive order goes into effect, the state department has had no responsibility for clearing Americans for employment to the UN. B-29 Raiders Hit Ammunition Dump SEOUL, Wednesday, Dec. 31 (F)—B-29 Superforts smashed a big Communist ore processing plant and a sprawling munitions dump deep in North Korea last night in the face of heavy antiaircraft fire and Red jet night fighters. Twenty-one big bombers dumped more than 200 tons of explosives of the huge Choak-tong ore processing plant just 25 miles south of the Yalu river and an 85-acre munitions dump northwest of Sinanju, the Fifth Air Force said. Meanwhile a Communist propaganda broadcast beamed to Allied troops on the frigid Central Front Tuesday night declared the Reds would launch a "general offensive" on Sunday. The broadcast was made by a woman. An Allied corps spokesman told about the Red propaganda offensive but declined to speculate on the threat. Only a week or so ago the Reds boasted they would be in Seoul by Christmas. Weather Southern California—Showers today with snow showers in mountains above 3000 foot level; gradual clearing trend northwest portion by midday and elsewhere during afternoon; clear or partly cloudy tonight and Thursday; generally windy. Reorganization Of Supervisors Set for Jan. 6 Bi-ennial reorganization of the county board of supervisors scheduled for Jan. 6, as the new term of office begins for two supervisors, Ralph J. McFadden of the third district and C. M. Featherly of the first district, is expected to be nothing more than a formality. Willis H. Warner, of the second district, who has been chairman of the board for 10 years, excluding 1947 to 1949, is said to be the only candidate for the post. Former Chairman Willard Smith, of the fourth district, now president of the State Association of County Supervisors, and Heinz Kaiser, of the Fifth district, together with Chairman Warner, are holdover members of the board, with two more years remaining in their present terms. In Smith's case, this is expected to be his last term after more than 25 years service on the board. Kaiser is serving his first term on the board. Featherly, who was unopposed for reelection, and McFadden, who defeated the late Edward Faulkner of Stanton-Buena Park area in the primary last June, will be starting their second terms. Bidault Gives up in French Crisis PARIS, Dec. 30 (P) — Former emerger George Bidault tonight gave up his attempt to form a government and dropped France's cabinet crisis back into the lap President Vincent Auriol. Bidault, 53, leader of the mainly Catholic Popular Republican movement, was the third political leader whom Auriol had asked to go along with his demand for wider powers in governing the country. Anaheim Woman Sues for Divorce Mrs. Betty A. Hernandez of Anaheim filed suit in Superior Court late yesterday through Attorney Roger Dutton, for a divorce from Ray O. Hernandez. She charged him with extreme cruelty. Mrs. Hernandez asks custody of their four children and $30 per week for support, besides all community property, including a $4400 quity in their home at 316 N.

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. The Climate for Daily Living By Rev. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Pastor, Wesley Methodist Church Frank Boreham, the Australian preacher of note, a short time before his death, told the story of Captain Bennet in the early days of the aeroplane, when the flying machine was little more than a wooden crate covered with oiled canvas. On his world tour Captain Bennet set his plane down at Ankara, Turkey, to take on fuel and provisions. After he had gotten up above the street noises, he heard the sickening sound of gnawing in the fuselage behind him. It dawned upon him that a rat must have come aboard for food. To try to land in that unfamiliar country might mean disaster. Then he concluded that a rat was created to live in or near the ground and possibly could not stand the rarified atmosphere of high altitude. He began to soar higher and gradually the sound of gnawing ceased. When he reached the next stop, he searched and sure enough, he found a large dead rat that might have caused his own death had he not sought the higher altitude. You who read these lines were created to be the child of God, not to live in the debris of sin and squalor, but to live high above the sordid things of earth in the rarified atmosphere of His love and care. If you would have peace in your heart and mind, do not use the language of the gutter—profanity and abusive criticism—but learn the language of Heaven—love, service to humanity, kindness throughout the year, every year, but a day at a time. Do this and the vermin of pride, arrogance, and kindred sins will die out in the rarified atmosphere in which you live.
