David Brigham, Rockford, Ill. Brigham said the disc was eight inches in diameter and it closed to within 20 feet of Thunderjet before shooting up of sight. Brigham was flying a reconnaissance plane when a Thunderjet pulled alongside. The Thunderjet pilot was not identified. Apparently Controlled Brigham said the disc swept behind the Thunderjet, maneuvered in apparently control sweeps, then pulled up and out of sight. He estimated that he watched the object for about 10 seconds from a distance of 30 to 50 at the closest point. The Thunderjet pilot did not see the disc. Brigham described the object "about eight inches in diameter very thin, round, and as shiny polished chromium; had no parent projections and left no haust trails or vapor trails."

Colorado has the same law. Anaheim Union Water Co. Upheld In Water Suit with Yorba Heirs Judgement in favor of the Anaheim Union Water Co. and the Yorba Linda Water Co. in the suit brought by the Bernardo Yorba heirs, claiming right to take water for irrigating from the Anaheim Union canal has been upheld in the Fourth District Court of Appeal, it was learned late yesterday. The Yorba heirs have petitioned for a rehearing in the appellate court, which has affirmed the ruling made by Superior Judge Robert Gardner nearly a year ago in favor of the water companies. Old Agreement In the case, which was marked by complicated legal questions involving early water rights, the Yorba heirs cited an agreement between the Yorba family and the El Cajon Water Co., which later became the Anaheim Union Water Co. This agreement gave the Yorbas the right to take water from the canal for domestic purposes and for watering their cattle. This right was obtained in exchange for easements permit-ting the canal to cross their property. In addition the plaintiff Yorba successors claimed riparian rights to the water. Judge Gardner ruled that the plaintiffs had lost their riparian rights either by sale of lands or by the fact that the Santa Fe railroad, running between their lands and the Santa Ana river, had cut off riparian rights of all lands away from the river. Domestic Water Only The court further held that the agreement with the water company, granting the Yorba family right to take water for domestic use and for their cattle, did not include irrigation. The decision left the plaintiffs with domestic water only, as the cattle era ended many years ago in that vicinity. The appellate court, in affirming Judge Gardner's judgment, set aside a portion of it relating to certain landowners who had been included in a blanket decision. First Reception WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.

Station Robbers Arrested Before Going Two Miles Three Los Angeles Negroes who "tapped the till" for $36 at a Santa Ana service station were captured by police in the business district there before they had traveled two miles from the scene. They were being questioned today preparatory to their arraignment in court, probably on a burglary charge. Frederick Bryant, 22, assertedly riffled the cash drawer at Ralph R. Morrell's gas station, 1345 S. Main st., while Morrell was waiting on customers. Bryant then ran to the car where his companions,' Sammy Epperson, 22, and Garnett Green, 23, were waiting. They drove leisurely away north on Main st. believing the theft had not been observed. But the sharp eyes of a woman motorist in her car nearby had detected the crime. She caught the license number of the departing car and informed Morrell. He called police and soon several police patrol cars, warned by radio, were converging on the North Main street area. One patrol crew apprehended the three Negroes at Sixth and Main streets. They found the $36, they said. Each prisoner had $12.

Meantime, he indicated a belief that President Eisenhower will find ways to stop the wars in Korea and Indochina. Dulles said these wars go on “because the enemy thinks he’s getting an advantage out of them. “I believe,” he said, “that General Eisenhower will find the ways to make the enemy change his mind in that respect so that they too will want peace.” In his first foreign policy address as secretary of state, Dulles termed the fighting in the far east part of a Soviet strategy of entitlement aimed at isolating the United States. He predicted confidently this country and its free world allies would defeat that strategy. Urges Unity At the same time he admonished France, Germany and Britain that unless they work out “effective unity” the U.S. might have to cease its present policies toward western Europe — policies which the U.S. has granted western Europe nearly 30 billion dollars in postwar aid. One of the purposes of his forthcoming survey trip with Harold Tassen, mutual security director, is to determine whether unity, now “somewhat stalled” is on an upward or downward trend, he said. Dulles made the first report to the American people in the form of a speech recorded and filmed. Truman Stirs Furore with ‘No Russ A-Bomb’ Remark WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (P)—Former President Truman stirred angry criticism in the nation’s capital Tuesday with his statement expressing doubt that Soviet Russia AUHS Petitions For Signal at Center, Citron A petition for a signal at Center and Citron st., site of several serious accidents in the past few years, was handed to the state highway commission by the Anaheim city council last night. In referring to letters written to the council by Paul Demarec, superintendent of the Anaheim sia has a workable atomic bomb. Atomic officials pointedly disagreed with Truman. They said all the facts indicated Russian possession of the A-bomb. And on Capitol Hill, Sen. Bourke Hickenlooper (R-Ia.), a member of the joint semate-house atomic committee, noted that Truman himself announced three separate explosions in Russia during his last three years in the White House. Contradiction “If Mr. Truman made such omnious statements as president for the purpose of frightening the American people without being convinced that they were factually correct, then it is reprehensible, indeed,” Hickenlooper said. Hickenlooper joined two other members of the senate-house atomic committee—Rep. Durham (D-NC), the retiring chairman, and Rep. Cole (R-NY), in a carefully worded statement criticizing One of the purposes of his forthcoming survey trip with Harold Tassen, mutual security director, is to determine whether unity, now "somewhat stalled" is on an upward or downward trend, he said. Dulles made the first report to American people in the form of a speech recorded and filmed in advance for presentation tonight on the CBS radio and television networks. Laymen's Language In it the new secretary obviously made a conscious effort to avoid diplomatic words and make remarks plain to the ordinary man. He also used a map to show how communism has expanded until it now dominates areas where 100,000,000 people live. The United States, he said, faces deadly serious threat from the remlin which is "plotting our destruction." But "these Russian Communists are not supermen," he said, "and their strategy is not irresistible. I feel absolutely confident that we can make it fail." 10 Feared Dead In Gas Explosion In S.C. Town AIKEN. S.C. (UP)—Exploding gas spread roaring fires through the part of this atomic boom town Tuesday and at least 10 persons were believed dead in the debris. Damage estimates ranged up to two million dollars. The explosion, which firemen did was caused by leaking gas,attered the Jones Electrical store, a two-story brick building 8:30 a.m. Within seconds gas flames shot out of the wreck, destroying two adjoining stores and damaging three others. Nine Trapped City officials, terming the explosion and fire the city's worst master, said at least nine employees were trapped in the Jones store and one woman was burned in another store.

In referring to letters written to the council by Paul Demaree, superintendent of the Anaheim high school district, and Jan Larsen, editor of the Anaheim high school paper, the council stated that they had no jurisdiction over traffic signals placed on Center st., because it is a state highway. The council recommended that the state be petitioned to make a study of traffic conditions at that intersection, corner of the high school. Hearings for three annexations, the Delco-Remy, Allison-Honer, and Acacia st. areas, was set by the council for Feb. 13. Election of the Acacia st. annexation was set for March 20. Bids will be opened Feb. 24 for laying sewers on East Center st., from Evelyn dr. to Placentia ave., and on E. Santa Ana st., from East st. to Placentia ave., the council determined. On the same date, bids for grading and paving the same area on E. Santa Ana st., and on Burton st., from West Ht. to Loara st., will be accepted. East Center st., in approximately the 800 block, was rezoned by the city to allow the building of multiple housing units, with the same action being applied to South st. Previously these areas were restricted to either single dwellings or duplexes. Guest at the meeting was Samuel Karnes, city clerk of Montebello, who congratulated the council on the fitness used in handling annexations, a problem with which Montebello is currently encountering great difficulty. Medics' Bags Taken from Parked Cars Two doctors' medical bags and their contents, one including narcotics, were stolen by burglars who broke into the physicians' automobiles, parked on the Santa Ana Community hospital lot at about 6:30 p.m. The loss was estimated at $300 for Dr. Patrick A. Cantrone of Santa Ana, and $250 for Dr. James T. McDuffie, of Corning, Calif., who was in surgery at the hospital when the theft occurred. Contradiction “If Mr. Truman made such ominous statements as president for the purpose of frightening the American people without being convinced that they were factually correct, then it is reprehensible indeed,” Hickenlooper said. Hickenlooper joined two other members of the senate-house atomic committee—Rep. Durham (D-NC), the retiring chairman, and Rep. Cole (R-NY), in a carefully worded statement criticizing Trump's remark as “highly unfortunate.” Contradictoria Evidence The trio further challenged Trump's statement, made to newsmen in Kansas City, as contradicting "Indisputable evidence that Russia has the A-bomb." The legislators quoted Trump as saying: "I am not convinced Russia has the atomic bomb... I am not convinced the Russians have achieved the know-how to put the complicated mechanism together and make an A-bomb, I am not convinced they have the bomb." Kuchel, Knowland Propose AEC Bill WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (UP) Private persons working as independent contractors in the storage energy commission would be required to pay taxes under a bill introduced today by Sens. Kuchel and Knowland, California Republicans. Kuchel said in a statement the supreme court last year interpreted the atomic energy law as giving tax immunity to independent contractors for AEC. His bill would amend the law. "The implications of this interpretation are far reaching," Kuchel declared. State and local agencies have their tax base reduced proportionately, and the remaining taxpayers face the threat of an increasing state and local tax burden. Cops Skeptical Of Boy's Story Gerald C. McCracken, 17, 2020 N. Main st., Santa Ana, told Santa Ana police that he had answered a knock on the front door at his home at 3:05 a.m. and saw a man standing there.

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. 3—Boredom By The Rev. BOB KEVORKIAN First Baptist Church Most people today are just bored stiff. The proof of this is seen in the manner in which they live and endeavor to fill their free moments. People are frightened to sit still and think and rest. When they can escape the demands of working for a living, what do they do in their spare time? One very seldom hears a shout of praise to God for the sheer joy of living. Life seems to be something which must be endured, so why not endeavor to escape its realistic factors. "Escape" perhaps is the key word to describe modern living. But "escape" can never produce proper results, for one must always return to the sheer reality of true life. So to endeavor to eliminate boredom by escape mechanism is futile. The solution for boredom lies in a personal Introduction. One can be in the presence of his lover and though nothing is said for even 60 minutes yet there is no boredom because of the sheer delight of the company of the lover. So in life boredom can be eliminated in coming to know the giver and sustainer of life, Jesus Christ. In a personal, intimate relationship with Him, life cannot be boring because of the vitality of such a love of relationship. He is interested in us and desires to make our life full with eternal meaningfulness, and relates Himself personally with the lives of those who wish to have Him as Lord and Saviour.
