It was learned today on highly qualified authority. The source who asked not to be identified said the Russian IL-28 medium bombers have been observed visually by U.S. pilots and recorded on U.S. radar screens. He said the best estimates are that the Russians have perhaps 1000 fighter and bomber planes, or more, in dozens of bases on Sakhalin Island and the Kuriles chain just north of the Japanese island of Hokkaido. The IL-28's have a speed of about 650 miles per hour and capable of carrying the atomic bomb. Their range could take them to any corner of the Japanese islands and back to the bases. These medium bombers are not guarded as the real Soviet threat by Japan's air defenders. Hundreds of MIG-15 fighters also based on the Russian-held lands would be only the screenier force for this bomber fleet west Russia to strike this empire. The Reds have been paradigm of the IL-28's back and forth between Sakhalin island, 30 miles north of Hokkaido and the Kurile Russian bases, just a step northeast of Hokkaido, the source said. In addition to the IL-28 jets, the Russians also have quantities of conventional light bombers. The 2's on both Sakhalin and the Kuriles. The T-2s are two-engined, propeller-driven craft, similar to the U.S. B-26 now being used extensively in night forays against the Reds in Korea. Signs of Sabotage Sought in Two Potential Train Derailments BALTIMORE, Jan. 24 CP — An eagle-eyed engineer presented the possible derailment of a Baltimore and Ohio passenger train here today under circumstances that have led investigators to suspect sabotage. The train, the Diplomat, was on route from St Louis to New York. It was rounding a curve at 10 miles per hour as it neared Baltimore when Engineer Tom Gavannaugh spotted through the driving rain a huge cross tie laid across the right rail of the eastbound main line. KALAMAZOO, Mich., Jan. 24 CP What appeared to have been an attempt to wreck an eastbound passenger train of the Grand Trunk Western railroad was being investigated tonight by sheriff's deputies, state police and FBI agents. Hits Steel Rail The Chicago-Battle Creek-Montreal train hit a 1000 pound steel rail across the tracks near Scotts Mich., southeast of here shortly after noon. The engine smashed the rail from the tracks, however, and no serious damage was done. Guerrilla Battles Helicopter WITH THE FIRST MARINE DIVISION IN KOREA, Sunday, Jan. 25 (UP)—Five marines in a helicopter shot and killed a Communist guerrilla Saturday in what was probably one of the oddest small arms duels of the whole Korean war. The guerrilla opened fire first and hit the helicopter three times with an American issue 45 caliber pistol—rated as notoriously hard to shoot straight without long practice. The marines. 50 feet above the ground and traveling nearly 60 miles an hour, were even better marksmen. Firing carbines and pitsols, they shot the guerrilla in the head and chest and left him dead on the ground. The strange duel opened when a 12-year-old Korean boy reported the guerrilla was skulking near the western front and was headed toward lonely hill country away from the roads. A Korean national police group started beating the bushes while the helicopter took to the air. When the 'copter party spotted the guerrilla, the latter opened the battle with a burst of fire from his 45, putting one slug into the instrument panel. Boy Hurt at Dangerous Corner A young boy, riding a bicycle, was struck by an automobile and noon yesterday at what is fast being Anaheim's most dangerous intersection, Center and Ctron streets. Ernest Verdugo, 13, was seriously injured, but badly cut and bruised at the same corner where Mrs. Helen Fackiner, Anaheim high school teacher, was hit Thursday, while walking in the pedestrian zone. According to Linue C Winfrock, 130 Elm st., Streaton, Ill., the boy was following another bike rider and did not stop at the intersection. Another young boy was seriously injured at the Center-Citro intersection, by the high school last September, as was an instructor at the school, Osborn Wheeler, shortly before the war. $1,500,000 Blaze PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24 (UP)—One of the most spectacular fires in recent Philadelphia history raged through the Connelly Container Co., a paper box manufacturing Co., today, causing an estimated $1,500,000 damage. The blaze brought into use 25 per cent of the city's firefighting equipment for four hours. O ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 1953 5 Cents per Copy 50 Cents per Month No. 322 For China Blockade Ike's Order would Actuate Blockade on Short Notice YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan, Sunday, Jan. 25 (P)—The U.S. Navy is ready to slap "an almost 100 per cent blockade on the red China coast at short notice if President Planners Approve 400-Acre Zone For Industry Rezoning of territory covering more than 400 acres between Brea and La Habra, to permit establishment of light industry, was approved by the county planning commission at a public hearing Friday afternoon. Protests of home owners in the swank Sunny Hills residential district on the north side of Fullerton, overlooking the valley now covered with orange groves where Elsenhower gives the signal, the top naval commander in the Far East said today. Vice Adm. Robert P. Briscoe, commander of nav la fodxzfifl* commander of Naval Forces Far East made the statement in answer to a series of questions submitted by the Associated Press. "The Navy is prepared to execute any such order on short notice to the limit of forces available," Briscoe said. There was no indication here such a presidential order was in preparation. Reinforcements Needed The only requirements, he added would be quick reinforcement of the U. S. Seventh Fleet to give it enough warships for the blockade and the Korean War. Briscoe continued: For Industry Rezoning of territory covering more than 400 acres between Brea and La Habra, to permit establishment of light industry, was approved by the county planning commission at a public hearing Friday afternoon. Protests of home owners in the swank Sunny Hills residential district on the north side of Fullerton, overlooking the valley now covered with orange groves where the industry zone was established, failed to block the move. Owners of 83 per cent of the property in the tract involved had petitioned the commission for rezoning, and also had requested architectural supervision of industrial buildings that may be erected in the zone. Signing of such a request by owners of two thirds of the area would have authorized the planners to set up such an architectural board of supervision. The tract extends along the north side of Imperial highway from Highway 101 (Fullerton Road) to the west city limit of Brea. It is bounded on the north side by the Pacific Electric tracks. Londoners Cry For Relief from Killing Smogs LONDON, Jan. 24 (AP)—Alarmed Londoners clamored today for government action to stop a series of smogs—the first in living memory—that have killed thousands of persons here in a winter of daytime darkness. Newspapers, members of parliament and private citizens joined in the demands. Prime Minister Churchill's government has already said it is treating the smog as "a problem of the very greatest urgency." Deadly fogs have settled over London repeatedly since early December. Hundreds of thousands of persons have been sickened. The economic loss—from grounded airplanes, dirtied clothing, curtains and buildings and slowed commerce—runs into many millions. The air ministry meteorological bureau says it has been the foggiest season in many years and experts say the fogs have contained more filth, especially sulphuric acid, than any before. "Massacre," Lord Beaverbrook's Evening Standard editorialized, noting that the December death toll from fog—6000—nearly equaled the toll of 6957 killed by Nazi bombers in September, 1940, worst month of the World War II blitz. For Industry "The Navy is prepared to execute any such order on short notice to the limit of forces available." Briscoe said. There was no indication here such a presidential order was in preparation. Reinforcements Needed The only requirements he added would be quick reinforcement of the U. S. Seventh Fleet to give it enough warships for the blockade and the Korean War. Briscoe continued: "There are various kinds and degrees of blockades. If the Seventh Fleet were ordered to establish a close blockade without diminishing its present efforts in the Korean War, more naval vessels of various types would be required." With sufficient naval craft, plus carrier and patrol planes, the Navy could establish an almost 100 per cent effective blockade against ocean borne traffic. Junks Pose Problem "Of course, there is always the chance that an occasional vessel would slip through in bad weather and the junk traffic would aways be a problem." However, the loss of costly steamship, weighed against the commercial profit of running the blockade, would be most discouraging to the owners of merchant shipping, even those of satellite countries. The admiral said the technical problems would be few, even if a full-scale close blockade were ordered. "The China coast does not have many deep water harbors," Briscoe pointed out, "and it is almost impossible for a vessel of any size to hide at sea. Airborne Eyes "Carrier-based and shore-based aircraft could provide an effective patrol for sighting these vessels—destroyers and other patrol craft could then be dispatched to the scene to stop and interrogate them." The U. S. Seventh Fleet has been patrolling the Formosa Strait on presidential orders since the outbreak of the Korean War to neutralize Formosa and guard against possible red invasion of that Chinese Nationalist stronghold.

US Chamber Votes Extension of Social Security WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (AP)—The United States Chamber of Commerce announced tonight its 3200-member organizations have voted overwhelmingly for a "sweeping expansion of the social security program to cover all working and all retired persons." The Chamber said in a statement its proposal would extend social security benefits to five million aged persons who have not qualified under the present program and most of whom receive relief checks under a combined federal-state old age assistance program. Weather Southern California—Variable high cloudiness with early morning fog or low clouds near the coast; local drizzle central and north coast early Monday; cooler coastal areas. Gen. Smith’s Job As Director of CIA Goes to Dulles WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (AP)—President Eisenhower today added Allen W. Dulles, veteran diplomat, lawyer, and intelligence expert, to the team being formed to mastermind a cold war offensive against communism. Dulles is 59, and a brother of Eisenhower's secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, who is 64. He was designated by the President to be director of the Central Intelligence Agency—the supersecret organization charged with keeping up on developments behind the Iron Curtain. Goes to Senate The White House announced that Dulles' nomination will go to the Senate as soon as Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, present CIA director, is confirmed as undersecretary of state. Dulles who has been a well known and popular figure in both the old and new administrations, is now deputy CIA chief, and to succeed him in that post Eisenhower intends to designate Lt. Gen. Charles P. Cabell, now director of the staff which serves the joint chiefs of staff in the Defense Department. Previously Known The Dulles appointment had been expected since before the inauguration when it became known that Gen. Smith would move into the State Department as top policy man under John Foster Dulles. Nevertheless it fits into a developing pattern of government organization to handle the cold war and move toward objectives which Eisenhower outlined during the campaign and in his inauguration speech last Tuesday. At the time retired, Dr. Warmer was dean of the graduate school after having served for 20 years as professor of education psychology. A native of St. Clair county Mich. Dr. Walker came to Californias do high school in 1903, should after having received his degree Albion college in Michigan. Measures Human Abilities Considered the only educator in the United States to successfully use the pantagraph, a copying strument used in measuring human sensori-motor abilities. Walker developed this technique while doing graduate work Stanford university and the U. of A. Dr. Walker, 79, who was extremely active in the Method church while in Anaheim throughout his life, is survived by his wife, Luhu; a son, Dr. Franklin D. Walker; professor at M College; and two daughters, Ms. Margarette Kirst, San Francis and Mrs Vieva Magill of Tusco.

Taylor as Deputy Chief of Staff WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (AP)—Lt. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe, hero of the Battle of Stogne, appeared today headed for a top-level post in the Army made vacant by the shift in the Korean command. A planeside huddle between Army Chief of Staff Gen. J. Lawton Collins, who left today for a Korean inspection tour, and McAuliffe strengthened speculation that the latter would succeed Lt. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor as deputy chief of staff for operations and administration. Taylor will take off Monday for Korea to become commander of the Eighth army, replacing Gen. James A. Van Fleet who is being retired after nearly 38 years of service next March 31. McAuliffe was the acting commander of the 101st airborne division in World war II when Nazi forces broke through allied lines and surrounded his division. When an arrogant German commander called upon McAuliffe to surrender, "Tony" sent back the historic answer: "Nuts." Taylor and Ike Talk Taylor went to the White House today to discuss the Korean military situation with President Eisenhower. In talking to newsmen later, Taylor preferred to give no details of his White House discussion. However, it was assumed that as the battle commander of all fighting forces in Korea, he would have prime interest in learning Eisenhower's views about a way to bring no new problems SENHOWER, TAYLOR CONFER — President Eisenhower and Lt. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor confer at the White House today. Taylor is leaving Monday to take command of the Eighth Army in Korea as successor to Gen. James Van Fleet, who is retiring. (AP Wirephoto) Santa Ana College Football Players killed in Plunge over Embankment Two Santa Ana college football players and an air force sergeant were dead today as the recoil of two automobiles plunging Orange county highways, and Anaheim woman was among eight persons hurt in various crashes, four of them in the two fatal wrecks. Richard Boughey Nolan, 19, was instantly killed when a car driven by Danny Edward Lyle, 18, plunged over a 40-foot embankment on the coast highway near Emerald bay. Lyle died of his injuries late Friday night in Hoag Memorial hospital, Newport Beach. Both were members of last fall's football squad at Santa Ana college and both resided at Laguna Beach. Injured seriously in the wreck was Estel Dean McCord, 19, also of Laguna Beach. Asleep at Wheel M. Sgt. Lester Earl Perry, 30, Castle air force base, Merced, was killed Friday when he fell asleep at the wheel of a car he was driving and it overturned in the bed of Oso creek on highway 101, three and a half miles south of Irvine. Three other air force men from Merced were hurt, two of them having major injuries. They were Evertt E. Daugherty, 21, Leigh E. Sherman, 22, and Charles Miller. All were taken to Corona naval hospital. Anahelmer Hurt Mrs. Esther C. Bacon, 26, 118 Monroe st., Anaheim, received minor injuries when a car driven by William S. Roberts, 34, Fullerton, struck a pole at Hansen ave., a half mile south of Katella ave., early Friday afternoon. Injuries in other accidents were Clifford L. Johnson, 28, Santa Ana; Pete Griffith, 34, Long Beach, and Alfred Escoto, 18, El Modena. 'Hams' Volunteer Radio Services SAN DIEGO, Jan. 24 (UP)—More than 100 amateur radio operators called upon McAuliffe to reread derer, "Tony" sent back the historic answer: "Nuts." Taylor and Ike Talk Taylor went to the White House today to discuss the Korean military situation with President Eisenhower. In talking to newsmen later, Taylor preferred to give no details of his White House discussion. However, it was assumed that as the battle commander of all fighting forces in Korea, he would have prime interest in learning Eisenhower's views about a way to bring an honorable conclusion to the 2½ year old war. It was partly to seek first hand information on that point that the president made his dramatic flight to the war zone last December, after his election. Other questions obviously hanging fire included the matter of ammunition availability in Korea about which Eisenhower has raised some questions during recent months and progress in speeding up replacements to keep the troop rotation program going at the desired pace. Collins to Far East Collins left Washington this morning by air for a week's trip to the far east. At the airport to see him off, in addition to McAuliffe, were Robert Stevens, the secretary-designate of the army, and Earl D. Johnson, who is acting secretary until the new administration takes over. Collins described this trip as another one of his periodic inspection and conference journeys to Korea and Japan. The office of deputy chief of staff operations and administration has become one of three most important posts in the army rated along with that of the chief of staff and vice chief. Cafe Burglary Nets $1712.65; $900 Untouched Burglaries who either found the front door unlocked or opened it with a pass key stole $1712.65 in cash from the Town House, cafe and bar at 111 E. First st., Santa Ana, early Saturday morning, and deliberately left another $900 in silver. Owner George Kipp reported the burglary to Santa Ana police Saturday morning, after the loss was discovered by Barkeeper Al Alberts, going on duty at 6:30 a.m. The burglary had taken place sometime after 2:30 or 3 o'clock a.m., when the night barkeeper presumably closed the cafe. Police planned to question him.

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. Your Greatest Enemies: No. 1—Self-Centeredness First Baptist Church By Rev. BOB KEVORKIAN The greatest enemy which you have is you yourself. When a husband becomes angry with his wife, the difficulty is not usually in the wife at all, but in himself. When one is at outs with himself he is always at outs with those about him. A sharp critical attitude merely denotes a compensation mechanism—endeavoring to point out the flaw in the other fellow which you hate so vehemently in yourself. This gives you a glorious false-satisfaction in trying to cover up your own flaw. Irritation at others merely shows the irritation which one has toward himself. When you are nervy and on the verge of mental collapse, the difficulty is not so much with the circumstances about you as it is with your basic self. The only solution to this predicament is in being delivered from this treacherous self-centeredness. How is this possible? Only by giving your life completely to God; by making Him "The Captain of your soul, the Master of your fate." When you give Him your life, He then assumes control and you are lifted out of yourself and planted in a sphere of living which is tied in with eternal productivity. This is what the Apostle Paul meant when he said, "Dead to Self, but Alive unto God."
