Fresh North Sea Rescue Work Goes on Amid Sea's Havoc By The Associated Press AMSTERDAM—Fresh gales in the North Sea loosed new terror Wednesday night along flood ravaged coasts of England, Belgium and Holland.

Amid winds up to 50 miles an hour, a driving rain broke over the devastated area of Holland—hardest hit of the three kingdoms. Gale warnings went out to all Britain's east coast. Thousands of families whose homes so far had escaped damage were under orders to get set for hurry-up evacuation. Belgian coastal dwellers were warned the night's winds were carrying ammunition.

However, Fifth Air Force fighter-Bombers struck at a Communist troop concentration at Kangdong, about 70 miles inland from the battered Red east coast port of Wonsan. Pilots claimed 16 buildings destroyed. Three explosions shook the area and two fires broke out, indicating hits on fuel dumps. Sabre pilots over Northwest Korea tangled for the 17th straight day with Communist MIGs but made no damage claims. Eighth Army headquarters reported "only a handful" of eight clashes Wednesday along the front. **Reds Repulsed** A squad of Red Chinese was repulsed on Sniper Ridge in the Central Sector. Three North Korean squads were turned back north and west of the Punchbowl on the Eastern Front.

Thousands of families whose homes so far had escaped damage were under orders to get set for hurry-up evacuation. Belgian coastal dwellers were warned the night's winds would be violent. Rescue and Rebuild Against the sea's rising challenge, rescue work and reconstruction operations went on. Thousands of men, mud-caked and dreary, struggled to finish repairing broken dikes before their hard gains were wrested away. Thousands of others battled to reach storm victims still isolated in the flood zones. The revised three-nation death list, as compiled from official and reliable unofficial quarters, mounted to 1783. Holland counted 1223, England 546, Belgium 14. Storm highlights from the three nations: England—The rising River Ouse tore a 40-yard gap in its banks, threatening 33,000 persons living along a 15-mile stretch from King's Lynn to Downham Market. Convoys of trucks loaded with granite rushed across the countryside from Nottingham in an attempt to fill the breach. Many persons living in a low-lying danger zone fleed their homes on the heels of government warnings that the fresh storm was heading south. Blustery winds reaching up to 60 miles an hour struck the Yorkshire coast—some distance north of King's Lynn—at Bridlington, in Yorkshire, at 5:30 p.m., two hours before the high-water mark. Known American dead in the English floods mounted to 15 with the recovery of the bodies of two women, a U.S. airman and a boy. Three others still missing are believed dead. Belgium—Lightest hit by the first storm, Belgium might suffer considerably if the situation worsens. Troops worked into the night to build up broken dikes against the sea.

Newsmen were barred from the meeting, also attended by Police Chief William Parker and Andrew V. Beckner, chief state narcotics officer here.

He said it was decided that the law and legislative committees of the California District Atorneys' Association will meet at Alameda Feb. 14 and that the State Peace Officers Association will meet at the same time and place. Both groups will discuss the narcotics problem, Brown said, and will make recommendations on certain pending legislative bills to the Senate Judiciary committee, scheduled to meet in Los Angeles Feb. 17 and 16. To Grand Jury Earlier Roll announced he will make the narcotics problem the first order of business for the newly impaneled 1953 county grand jury.

Woman Confesses Rape-Kidnap Tale Was only Alibi Breaking down under questioning of doubtful police officers, Virginia Cabrera, young wife of a marine absent on duty, admitted to Santa Ana policewoman Bertha Anderson yesterday that she had not been kidnapped and raped Monday night, as she had reported. She confessed that, after staying out late and being intimate with a man friend, she had cut and scratched herself with a broken perfume bottle to support her story that she had been kidnapped by two Mexicans near a downtown corner and driven to a remote spot where she was attacked. Questioned closely yesterday by officers she named a Stanton man one of her attackers. But under further questioning, and being told that if the man should be arrested on her charge, she would have to confront him and face possible consequences if she were not telling the truth, the girl asked to talk to Policewoman Anerson. She then told the true story, saying that she was married to a marine whom she had known a month and who was called away a duty 12 days after their marriage. While living with her broth- Youthful, but Firm, Robber Holds Up Santa Ana Liquor Store for $42 Clerk Curt Kirk's attempt to talk a bandit out of robbing the Parkway liquor store at 1657 E. First st., Santa Ana, dwindled to a whisper and then complete silence as he saw the muzzle of a pistol peeping from the folds of a coast folded across the bandits arm, and then heard the click of a hammer. The bandit, a pasty-faced youth of about 21, took the $35 In currency Kirk handed over, also a "fifth" of bonded whiskey valued at $7.44, and vanished into the fog. Kirk had placed the whiskey in a paper sack on the counter when the customer pointed at the cash register and said: "All right, open up and out it in the bag." Click Ends Argument "Don't be ridiculous. I don't have much money. You'll just get yourself into trouble," Kirk protested. "I don't want any argument. Make it fast," the youth snapped. It was then that Kirk noticed the muzzle of the gun and heard the ominous click of the hammer as the gun was cocked. He silently started to put the $35 in the paper sack, but the bandit ordered him to "lay it on the counter." He then ordered Kirk to lie down behind the counter, after which he took the money and whiskey, and disappeared. Search Futile Kirk called his employer, Joe L. Sandkamp, who summoned police. Within the next hour prowl cars brought in several suspects, but Kirk said none of them was the bandit. He described the youth The Merry-Go-Roll Down To Last night the Gazette is important to the paper, important to Anaheim's men and shoppers, too.

Those orders are due to start this week. The functions of the abolished Defense Production Administration (DPA) were ordered transferred to the Office of Defense Mobilization, but the consolidation move obviously was a step in President Eisenhower's plan to end controls on materials and products except for highly essential defense items.

S. Secretary, of State Dulles is giving the big western European powers 75 days to show real progress in setting up a unified defense or risk cuts in American military and economic aid, a qualified informant said Wednesday night. The April 20 deadline was disclosed after Dulles, in day-long meetings with British leaders, gave assurances that the United States will continue its policy of trying to limit the Korean war and sought to counter their criticism of U. S. action on Formosa. Dulles came here from Paris and Rome and in each capital, the informant said, made it clear that congress may balk at putting up more billions for Europe unless he and Harold E. Stassen, mutual security director, can report advances in the project to place troops of six continental nations in a unified army. Visit to Bonn Thursday the American officials visit Bonn on their swing around western Europe and, the informant said, will set the same 75-day time limit before west German leaders. There Dulles will encounter uncompromising Socialist opposition to any Germany alliance with the west. Prime Minister Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden were told Wednesday that the next 75 days are critical for the future of Europe and were given the attitude of the United States toward it. Dulles presumably set the deadline at April 20 because the North Atlantic Council of Foreign Ministers meet in Paris three days later. Redefine Policy If the European Defense community (EDC) army project still remains a dream at that time, presumably Dulles would then redefine the United States' policy to its allies. At the same time, Lie informed the UN general assembly in a 10,000-word report that he has the sole responsibility for hiring and firing UN workers. He said that, in justice to his staff, he must be given convincing evidence before taking action. The report will be the taking-off point for a hot debate in the assembly sessions beginning Feb. 24. India, Sweden, Norway, Egypt and other countries are expected to seek a thorough airing of the whole personnel problem and especially Lie's cooperation with the U.S. loyalty check on Americans working here. Hitting at accusations in the United States that the UN has a nest of spies, Lie said that the 3000-man secretariat works "in a glass house not only physically but in every respect."

Allioto, a member of the San Francisco board of education, charged Tuesday night that San Francisco State college has an "atmosphere hostile to our basic political heritage." The charge — coming in a discussion of San Francisco State's academic standards — was promptly denied by State President Dr. J. Paul Leonard. Allota, an attorney and former president of the seven-member board, said: "This is not a blanket denunciation. I'm not saying they are all Communists. I'm saying it's the kind of an atmosphere where a Marxist would be tolerated — as some have been." He added that the college "emphasizes progressive education ... to the exclusion of a system that stresses development of basic skills under a disciplined administration." Church choirs of the county is held each year in order to promote higher standards of music and its production, and to promote cooperation and understanding within church and school musical circles.

No Red Attack On Formosa, Navy Chief Says SAN DIEGO UP—The Chinese Nationalist chief of naval operations predicted here Wednesday that the Communists on the Chinese mainland would not launch an immediate attack on Formosa as a result of the withdrawal of the U. S. Seventh fleet. Vice Adm. Ma Chi-Chuang, who arrived here en route to Washington, D. C., told newsmen the Nationalist government expects its forces to be welcomed by the people on the Chinese mainland.

Ma declined to comment on President Eisenhower's recent order withdrawing the Seventh fleet blockade or what effect it might have on Formosa and China.

Allota, an attorney and former president of the seven-member board, said: "This is not a blanket denunciation. I'm not saying they are all Communists. I'm saying it's the kind of an atmosphere where a Marxist would be tolerated — as some have been." He added that the college "emphasizes progressive education ... to the exclusion of a system that stresses development of basic skills under a disciplined administration." President Leonard called "Alioto's charge 'completely false.' Pointing out that nine faculty members who refused to sign the Levering loyalty oath were promptly discharged, he added: "The whole nature of the program is completely in harmony with the American principles of democracy. We're open to study at any time by any well meaning group. What we do is an open book."

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. By Rev. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church The Boy at the Anaheim Dike We like to read the story of the little Dutch boy who on his way home one evening saw the hole in the dike through which the water was trickling. His father had told him often that when this happened, unless the water was stopped, it would soon make a hole so large that the sea water would rush in and ruin the land. At first thought he would run home and tell his father. "But it may be dark before father can come, and then he might not be able to find the break; or it may get too large to stop; I will stay now and do the best I can," he said to himself. He sat down and stopped the hole with earth, holding it with his hand. He stayed all through the night; and in the morning a man came past and saw him, got help and mended the dike. I've often tried to find out the boy's name. Sometimes I think he lives in Anaheim. I mean the boy (or girl) who is always looking out for other people, guarding them from the path of automobiles, or other damages; and willing at great sacrifice to himself, to make other people happy.
