Congressmen in U 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 VOLUME LXXXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY Lions Combat Commi Leavitt Ford Named Chairman of District's 'Operation Philippines' Anaheim Lions were among the audience last night when Mariano V. del Rosario, governor of District 301 of Lions International, Philippine Islands, addressed the assembled Lions of the Orange county region. Del Rosario asked the support of the region's Lions clubs in promoting "Operation Philippines," a district 4 (California and Nevada) project for supplying farming equipment and supplies to the Philippines Lions clubs for distribution to a government resettlement project whose main objective is the discrediting of communism in the islands. Land Program The government is clearing land and giving 22 acres of it to each Huk. communist-led and inspired bandits, who will agree to settle down and farm it peaceably. In this manner the government feels it will be able to scotch the Red Sewer Districts To Proceed with Bacon Plan County sanitation districts proceed with the original "Bacon sewerage plan in constructing important Bushard and Ellis nue trunk lines, and new treatment plant, it has been decided although engineers advised modifications could provide, the same money, about 2,000 gallons more daily capacity northern and western Oran county. Because the funds available construct the original Bacon p the district directors decided stick with that plan, because $8,308,000 bond issue of 1949 district 4 (California and Nevada) project for supplying farming equipment and supplies to the Philippines Lions clubs for distribution to a government resettlement project whose main objective is the discrediting of communism in the islands. Land Program The government is clearing land and giving 22 acres of it to each Huk, communist-led and inspired bandits, who will agree to settle down and farm it peaceably. In this manner the government feels, it will be able to scotch the Red propaganda of "land for the landless" with which the Commies have wooed many of the Filipinos. The Lions clubs of California and Nevada, having heard of the resettlement program, volunteered to procure money to buy materials, or the materials themselves YMCA 'Cowhands' Kick-Off Annual Spring Y-Roundup with Breakfast Enthusiastic cowhands of the YMCA Ranch hit the chuck wagon at 6:29 this morning for a kick-off breakfast before hitin' the Spring Y-Roundup trail. The herd the cowhands, riding for "Big Boss" Clyde Nickel, will be attempting to round up during the annual drive amounts to $16,370. $1735 over last year's Roundup goal. The campaign to secure donations for the continued operations of the YMCA will be held Jan. 30 to Feb. 9, with the setting in true western style. The boys out on the trail, working for "Ranch Boss" Mel Gauer, Warren Ashleigh, Paul Demaree, Walt Taylor, or Frank Kellog, in charge of various phases of the "big push," will be looking for some real gold (or its equivalent in that green material) from their Anaheim pardnuis. The trail dusters will be a-looking for other hands to join one of the local Y organizations, in addition to the loot, "Big Boss" Nickel said. The increased amount of revenue needed this year, explained "Big Boss" results from increased membership in the 48 Y groups. "After all, ya gotta meet thu payroll, or yuh boys (and girls) are gonna move on, maybe where things ain' so healthy," he said. Red 'War of Terror' Drives E. Germans To The West BERLIN (P)—Stark fear alone is driving many East Germans from their homes of a lifetime to the restricted freedom of West Berlin. Thousands mill anxiously in the refugee camps. No programs have begun in the Communist-ruled East. The Red government's purges so far have not struck deeply and directly among the people. No mass measures have yet been taken. But fear lives with the people. It sharpened this year to a bright edge and swelled the flow of men, women and children running from what may happen. This month alone, 22,000 have fled to West Berlin. An Allied island inside the Soviet Zone. Five hundred of them are Jews, wide-eyed with the fear of renewed savagery against them. Canadian B-25 Disappears; Two Other Aircraft Still Missing SEATTLE, Jan. 29 (P)—The Royal Canadian air force said Thursday night that a Mitchell (B-25) bomber with five men aboard has disappeared in western British Columbia near Vancouver. Sought were a U.S. navy Privateer patrol plane with 10 persons aboard and a RCAF Dakota with seven persons aboard. An RCAF spokesman said the Mitchell's last known position was sario explained. Equipment is furnished through the Filipino Lions clubs and their use is strictly controlled by the Lions. A Huk is not permitted to resell his equipment to another Filipino. CARE Cooperating CARE is providing free shipping for the equipment and is furnishing its buying connections for the use of the Lions. The United States department of state has indicated great interest in the resettlement program and in the American Lions clubs' contribution to it, according to Leavitt Ford-of-Anaheim who has been named general chairman of the operation in district 4E1. Regional chairmen under Ford are Fred Lock, Fullerton, Orange county region; Charles Baker, Riverside, south citrus region; and Dr. D. W. Parker of Redlands, north citrus region. Accordingly, the engineers, Hirison and Woolley of Santa Ana and Headman, Ferguson and Rolla of Phoenix, were instructed to prepare plans and specifications following the Bacon plan. These call for a 54-inch trunk along Bushard ave. from Ellis to the proposed new treatment plant of 20,000,000 gallons capacity; also a 36-Ellis ave. from the present joint outfall site or system treatment plant to Bushard trunk. The new treatment plant itself will be included. Modified plans suggested by design engineers would call for 51-inch Ellis ave. line, and a inch line down Santa Ana rink with a small new treatment plant at the river mouth. Water Leaders Meet to Discuss District Change Members of the Orange county Water Basin Conservation committee and other water leaders from every section of Oran county attended a meeting at the Orange County Water District offices in the San Ana Community Center, who proposed provisions of a new amending the size and powers of the water district, were discussed. Attorney H. Rodger Howe counsel for the committee, we has been working upon the proposed new measure, was instructed to have it completed and filed in Sacramento by March 1. deadline set by the Water Provisions Committee of the Legislature, which will conduct a hearing on it March 16. The amendments are proposed because the water district has been designated by the basin co-servation committee, headed by Walter Schmid of West Anahea as the agency for administering the proposed underground water replenishment program for Canadian B-25 Disappears; Two Other Aircraft Still Missing SEATTLE, Jan. 29 (UP)—The Royal Canadian air force said Thursday night that a Mitchell (B-25) bomber with five men aboard has disappeared in western British Columbia near Vancouver. Two other planes which vanished in the Pacific Northwest Wednesday were still missing. The RCAF said it lost contact with the Mitchell after it radioed it was only 14 minutes away from Vancouver. The craft was on a training flight to Vancouver from Saskatoon. 28 Persons Missing Meanwhile, murky weather and mountain wilderness held secret the fate of two other planes which disappeared Wednesday. Including the five aboard the Mitchell, there were 28 persons missing. The other two planes being sought were a U.S. navy Privateer patrol plane with 10 persons aboard and a RCAF Dakota with seven persons aboard. An RCAF spokesman said the Mitchell's last known position was over Manle ridge, B.C., 25 miles east of Vancouver. The two-engineled plane had enough gas to keep airborne until 7 p.m., PST, the RCAF said. Pilot Found The other five persons missing were aboard a Central British Columbia Airways plane which sank Tuesday while attempting an emergency landing in the water 400 miles north of Vancouver, B.C. The pilot of the plane, James J. Siddle, was found alive Wednesday night, along with the drowned body of one of his six passengers. There was no trace of the other five. Mitman Faces Sex Psycopath Trial After Dismissal of Sanity Hearing Richard A. Mitman, 36-year-old Hollywood engineer and ad agency executive, who was convicted with Inga Borg, 27, model, of sex perversion by a jury verdict Wednesday night, was found sane by the same jury at his insanity panel trial yesterday. The jury deliberated only 19 minutes after hearing three psychoastrists testify that Mitman is legally sane. Mitman, however, now faces sex psycopath proceedings instead of a prison or jail sentence. Judge Robert Gardner on his own motion, adjourned the criminal proceedings and ordered a sex psycopath hearing for Feb. 13 at 9:30 a.m. Two of the three psychoastrists who have already examined Mitman were appointed to file a report with the court as to whether he is a sex psychopath. If he is so determined, he would be sent to a state hospital for 60 days' observation and treatment. If the doctors then reported that treatment could not help him, he would be subject to sentence on the criminal charge. Meanwhile, Miss Borg, convicted despite her plea that Mitman lured her to a South Laguna motel last Sept. 20 by lavish promises of a model's contract and wardrobe, then forced her by threats to pose for photographs of the couple in unnatural sex poses, has filed motion for a new trial and for probation, her hearing being set for Feb. 20. Realtors Hear Local Attorney Legal pitfalls awaiting the wary realtor or real estate sales man were pointed out to the Aheim Realty board at yesterday's regular breakfast meeting by attorney Claude Owens of Anahee. "Failure to get a listing writing is the commonest cause a realtor's occasional difficulty collecting commissions," the attorney told the realtors. Owens also explained ways a means of handling court sale which arise in the disposition of estates. A lively question andswer period followed his tax most of it centering on the couse sale information. Mrs. Floy Craig, Mrs. Vester, A.E.Robertson and C.Rau took the week's honors for making the most multiple listings. New members accepted into the organization included Stan Whitdon, Mrs. Rae Miller, Mrs.Irene Cheslick, and Otto Trapp as salaries; and Mrs. Marguerite Cook as an associate member.

Rep. Hoffman (R-Mich.) rily compared the incident known as "Operation Smash" with historical episodes of guerilla fighting to the death for amusement of ancient Roman perors. Rep. Bray (R-Ind.) said he "mad as hell" about it. Rep. Edith Nourse Roger Mass., chairman of the house erans committee, told the she was "shocked." No Show In Korea, U. S. military thorities expressed surprise dismay over the storm of crippling on the home front, denied it was a "show" put up, please top brass, and insisted high ranking officers frequent witness such attacks to lean bat lessons. Meanwhile, the uproar abroad. In London, a La member of parliament, I Fernyhough, said he would Foreign Secretary Anthony to explain why the attack put on with "all the trapping a theoretical performance."

The terrified girl fled to a store at Flower and St. Andrews place. A few minutes earlier, in the same vicinity, the same man had halted his truck as two 8-year-old girls passed and was guilty of indecent conduct, they reported. Northrop Union Election Set for Feb. 6 by National Labor Board The National Labor Relations board will hold a hearing next Friday to determine whether an election will be held at the Anahiem Northrop plant in which the UAW-CIO has asked to become bargaining agents for the employees. The union contends that more than half the 650 maintenance and production employees, who would be affected by the election, have signed UAW-CIO authorization cards. Before an election can be offered, 30 per cent of the affected employees must sign the authorization cards. Double Check At the hearing the company is required to submit a list of all employees concerned with the election and the union provided a list of the employees who have signed the union cards. Regional Director Howard F. Le Baron of the NLRB, will conduct the hearing at 111 W. Seventh st. hearing room 23, Los Angeles, at 10 a.m. If the board determines that the necessary percentage have signed the union cards, it will then set a date for an election unless the company and union disagree on the categories that fall into the maintenance and production classification, in which case a formal hearing on the issue will be held with the decision sent to NLRB national headquarters in Washington, D.C., for approval. Approval is usually made within 30 days of the filing of the local decision with national headquarters. Regulated by NLRB At the polls, regulated by the NLRB, will be representatives of the company and union, each of whom can protest a vote if they believe the voter is not in the classification affected by the election. These disputed ballots are placed in separate envelopes, and later determined either eligible or unavailable. First Rumble This was the first rumble of protest from the UN's international staff of 3000 about the investigation of Americans. Meanwhile, the program went into high gear with hundreds being fingerprinted and others busily filling out the forms. Lie, highly disturbed by the staff action at this tense time, issued the following statements: "I have acted in what I believe to be the best interests of the UN staff. If they had questions, I regret they did not first ask them before passing hasty resolutions which indicate a misunderstanding of the situation." More than 400 of the 1681 American employees at UN headquarters had been fingerprinted by Thursday night. Collins on Carpet On Capitol hill, Chairman (R-Mo.) of the house armedices committee said he would word through channels to G Lawton Collins, army childstaff, asking him to explain congress just what happened.

"In any event, we get the true story when Gen Lins returns." Collins is now in the far end on an inspection trip to and northern Japan. He is asked back Saturday night. Short said he doubted service that "Operation Smack" was staged show, declaring: "I think this was an actual eration, not a circus. When doubt, we should give the boy of the doubt to the field mander." Divided Opinion Some lawmakers caut against criticism before their facts are known; others convinced that American so had been exploited to put performance for generals and correspondents. Rep. Hoffman introduced a olution demanding a full scale investigation to determine why "American boys were used as pendable cannon fodder for city purposes." At the Pentagon, officials they had no information on eration Smack" but had required a full report from the field. Frontline dispatches said "eration Smack" was directed against Little Spud hill, below T-bone on the western front by planks and artillery, storming the Communist held slope moved forward on schedule caught in a withering hail of my crossfire and bursting ades.

Flying Saucer Chased over Santa Ana by Jet Plane As elusive as those seen elsewhere, a flying saucer was seen southeast of Santa Ana Wednesday night, was pursued by a jet plane from El Toro Marine base, but was not overhauled or identified. Spotted by a control tower at the base, the fiery disc was south of the Navy Lighter than Air base near Tustin. Maj. Harvey Patton of Salt Lake City, about to make landing at the base, was ordered to investigate. Major Patton said the flying disc near Tustin also was amber colored. He pursued it at an elevation of 3000 to 4000 feet but could draw no closer. Over Newport Beach it turned and followed the coast line. Major Patton followed as far as Long Beach, but his fuel supply was low and he was forced to turn back.

Rep. Hoffman (R-Mich.) angled compared the incident—known as "Operation Smack"—with historical episodes of gladiators fighting to the death for theusement of ancient Roman emperors. Rep. Bray (R-Ind.) said he was sad as hell" about it. Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R-Ass.), chairman of the house vetens committee, told the house was "shocked."

Congressional irre today exploded over the reported conditions under which the attack was carried out. (AP wirephoto) 'Operation Smack' Debacle Described by Eyewitness By FORREST EDWARDS SEOUL (JP)—Allied planes, artillery and tank guns had been smashing at Little Spud Hill for hours, turning the knoll at the base of T-Bone into a volcano of erupting explosions. This was "Operation Smack" and as I watched it from a position on the Allied lines I knew why it had been so-named—Spud hill was getting smacked and smacked hard. I remember thinking to myself: "There can't be a Commile left in fighting condition on that hill." It was not until later that I realized I had underestimated the Officer's Chance Question Uncovers Long PD Record On his way home Thursday around 1:30 a.m., after completing his tour of duty, Dep. Marshal Richard E. Hoxle of Anaheim township, noticed a car parked in the rear of Sandy's service station, 5252 Lincoln blvd., Cypress, and stopped to investigate. He awakened the man who was asleep on the front seat and questioned him as to the ownership of the car. Not satisfied with the answers, and noticing a long knife on the seat beside the suspect, Hoxle investigated further and came up with some right answers. The suspect admitted his name, Edward John Daly, and his age, 22 years. He had stolen the car, which was registered to the General Mills corporation, from a garage in San Francisco, on Jan. 28. He had picked up hitch-hikers on the way south who had paid the car expenses. Hoxle took the prisoner in to be booked where it was further learned that Datley had an astounding record of arrests. In addition, another knife was found in his pocket. Last December he served 17 days on an El Paso chain gang for vagrancy; September. Red defenses and staying power. A few hours before I had sat in an olive green briefing room and heard air, artillery, and tank officers detail their plans to pound Spud with tons of bombs and thunderous barrages of shellfire to soften it up for the infantry soldiers. Both the briefing and the seven-page mimeographed operational plan gave evidence of the weeks of intense, careful planning which had preceded the co-ordinated air-artillery-tank-artillery raid. Standard Procedure Such planning is standard operating procedure in any action in this Korean War. So is the operational plan, committed to paper to insure that no one's memory will fall at a critical time and thus add danger to the always dangerous work of fighting. In only one respect did the mimeographed plan for "Operation Smack" differ from other operational plans I have seen for actions as small as an eight-man night patrol. On the cardboard binder had been pasted a three color insignia of the 7th Division, apparently clipped from the dust jacket of the division's history. Back on the Allied line I marvelled that the Army and Air Force could follow such a detailed plan down to split second timing for air strikes and artillery barrages. Hill Plastered The supporting tanks rumbled out on the plain directly in front of Spud Hill and fired their salvoes. Round after round of high explosives tore into the Chinese Red bunkers on the greet of the Attack Falls The attack faltered within 15 miles of the crest, and the troops fully pulled back to their own lines. Casualties were not disbanded. Meanwhile, army and air force serials and war correspondents had been invited as witnessesuddled in a forward observational bunker in clear view of the assault. Dispatches said the spectators he handed a seven page timepiece bound in cardboard covers arranged in three colors, to help him follow the progressive stages of the raid. Allies Balk Red Treaty Limitations WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 WEDNESDAY—three western powers Thursdays rejected an effort by Russia impose limitations in advance negotiations for a long-delayed treaty with Austria. The United States, Britain and France delivered similar notes in cow saying that if Russia will resume negotiations, they will muss a Soviet demand for withdrawal of a proposed eight-article treaty which Moscow has opposed. Weather Southern California — Mostly on Friday and Saturday but once increase in fog and low windiness, along coast Friday night and Saturday morning, later most of west portion Saturday afternoon and along immediate coast Friday afternoon. 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. What Price Pride? By Rev. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church Here is a little incident I read the other day of Benjamin Franklin: Franklin had visited the celebrated clergyman, Cotton Mather of New England. After the visit, Franklin was leaving the minister's library, and Rev. Mather showed Franklin a short cut out a side door and through a narrow passage, which was crossed by a low beam overhead. Franklin did not hear the warning to "stoop" until it was too late and he had bumped his head on the beam. As Franklin rubbed the sore place on his head, Mr. Mather said, "You are a young man and have the world before you. Stoop as you go through it, and you will miss many hard bumps." Is it not true in our everyday experience, "Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall?" (Proverbs 16:18). Humility and sincerity will let you in where a proud and selfish spirit will create a short circuit and blow a fuse. A proud fellow is often put in his place in front of his friends to his own chagrin and mortification.
