82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN VOLUME LOOXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY MORNING, FEATURES Cities Move to Block Annexation by Two Cities Aimed To Halt Fullerton’s ‘Land Grab’ Fast counter moves were in progress today in the Brea and La Habra areas as those cities acted to block what they called Fullerton’s attempted land grab, the proposed annexation of 1700 acres on its north side. Brea and La Habra both have filed maps with the county boundaries commission in connection with resolutions adopted by the two city councils proposing to annex uninhabited land in the path of the Fullerton annexation. La Habra proposes annexation of 85 acres on the south side of Imperial Highway, just west of the former campus of the Los Angeles University of Applied Arts, which is already in the city. This tract is part of the 1700 acres sought by Fullerton. Strip Barrier Proposed Brea has moved to annex a 200-foot strip along the north side of Imperial highway, to Highway 101 at the city limit of La Habra. This strip, if annexed to Brea, would effectively bar Fullerton from crossing Imperial Highway and would cut about 160 acres out of the 1700 acres, including the $5,000,000 Beckman instrument plant at the edge of La Habra, which Fullerton wants. Gen. Mark Clark Blasts Reds for GermPropaganda TOKYO (UP)—Gen. Mark Clark, in a blistering and extraordinary statement, Tuesday attacked Red China's renewed radio accusations of Allied germ warfare and expressed deepest sympathy for two captive Marine airmen whom the Reds claimed had confessed to dropping germ bombs on North Korea. The Allied commander in the Far East said: Denounces Campaign "Lest silence regarding it be misinterpreted in any way, I feel under compulsion to denounce the word-warring Pelino radio's lateness above with Mo son (left) and Sgt. Roy put into use by the An Strip Barrier Proposed Brea has moved to annex a 200-foot strip along the north side of Imperial highway, to Highway 101 at the city limit of La Habra. This strip, if annexed to Brea, would effectively bar Fullerton from crossing Imperial Highway and would cut about 160 acres out of the 1700 acres, including the $5,000,000 Beckman instrument plant at the edge of La Habra, which Fullerton wants. Harold McCabe, city attorney for both Brea and La Habra, has advised that the annexation moves of those cities are permitted although Fullerton already has commenced proceedings to annex the 1700 acres as inhabited territory. Fullerton cannot legally start circulating petitions for annexation in the area until next Friday. Meanwhile Brea and La Habra, annexing uninhabited territory, need not call an election, and must merely hold a public hearing for possible protests, then annex the ground by resolution. Cities Race Against Time Completion of annexation proceedings by Brea and La Habra would force Fullerton to revise its project and make a new start. However, if Fullerton completes its filing of petitions and calls an election before Brea and La Habra can annex the areas they are after, the Fullerton annexation takes precedence, it is said. Meanwhile, the troubles of Brea and La Habra with Fullerton's expansion ambitions, have reportedly found a sequel in the Buena Park area, where Fullerton is reported to have its eye on the McComber and Emery ranches, adjoining Buena Park. These properties were left out of the recent Buena Park incorporation, and Buena Park interests are said to be ready to assist them in repelling any Fullerton attempt at annexation. Allies Blast Way Out of Red Trap SEOUL (UP)—An allied tank-infantry raider team blasted its way out of a Chinese Red trap Tuesday in the pre-dawn dark of the western Korean front. It left behind an estimated 60 Communist dead and 40 wounded—half the opposing force—as it surged back to the safety of the main United Nations line. An Eighth army staff officer called the fight the bloodiest of a series that crackled across the frigid Korean battle front before dawn. The Chinese Reds snapped shut their trap on the tank—infantry raiders southeast of the truce talk town of Panmunjom. McCarthy Takes on Ex-Acheson Men WASHINGTON (UP)—Sen. McCarthy R-Wis. said Monday key aides left over from the regime of former Secretary of State Acheson have tried to hamstring the current Senate investigation of the State department's "Voice of America" program. Without naming names, McCarthy told newsmen that "the old Acheson lieutenants" were seeking to hinder the inquiry. But he said the "new team" under Secretary of State Dulles has quietly taken steps to counteract the efforts of the Acheson group. CHICAGO (UP)—Rodney Dee Brodie, surviving separated Siamese twin, Monday had breakfast in his high chair. A spokesman for Illinois Research hospital said Rodney now is able to sit in the chair for longer periods and seems to be getting along well. SOMETHING NEW—shown above with Moison (left) and Sgt.

Dust Settled Here by Rainstorm; Varied Weather Visits California Anaheimers who mowed their lawns Saturday found the mower blades throwing back dust as well as grass cuttings, following 40 days of the most June-like weather in January, but all that was changed yesterday morning when Hall of Records Custodian Dies Joseph R. Moore, 79, retired custodian of the county's hall of records in Santa Ana, died Saturday at his home in that city. He had been a resident of Santa Ana for 32 years. Born in Winchester, Ohio, he came to Santa Ana in 1921. As hall of records custodian for many years, he was well known in official circles.

Interment will follow in Fairhaven cemetery. a gentle rain began falling on the city and the rest of the county. The storm, which remained gentle throughout its duration, deposited 58 of an inch of rain here, ending a 40-day period of unseasonable drought and the necessity of unprecedented irrigation during January and February. The season total now stands at 8.63, compared with 16.54 for this date last year. A trace of rain fell on the city again last night before midnight, followed by clearing skies. The Orange county flood control district reported that at no time on record has the county suffered such a sustained drought during January and February. Statewide Smorgasbord Over California Monday there was a sort of weather smorgasbord. Snow fell in the Sierras and on Bakersfield and Palmdale. Hall and heavy showers visited the San Diego area.

Chiang Kai-Shek Formally Scraps 1945 Treaty of Alliance with Soviet Russia By SPENCER MOOSA TAIPEH, Formosa (P)—The long dead 1945 Treaty of Alliance and Friendship between Russia and Nationalist China was formally scrapped Tuesday by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek’s government in a cold war move with hot overtones. Real Beach Nurse to Take Stand in Own Defense Against Murder Charge Mrs. Frances Conant Thorpe, a year-old Seal Beach nurse, is expected to take the witness and today in Superior Judge Raymond Thompson’s court at Santa Ana, to testify in her own defense against the charge that she murdered her husband, Heran Theodore Thorae, 22. The defense opens its case today after a four-day recess in the trial, with prospect that criminologists will clash in their expert opinions of what happened in the Thorpe living room last Thanksgiving Day when Thorpe was fatally shot during a scuffle with his wife, after both had been drinking. Didn’t Shoot Himself Jack Cadman, criminologist in the sheriff’s office has already testified for the state, to the effect that Thorpe could not have shot himself, as Mrs. Thorpe claims. The course of the fatal bullet from the upper left chest to the right back precluded use of the right hand to hold the gun, Cadman held. Thorpe could not have used his left hand, because that arm already had been shattered by another bullet, he testified. Cadman did say that powder marks and a slight furrow on Mrs. Thorpe’s left hand indicated that the shot which caused them was fired by another person, presumably her husband. She claims that Thorpe shot twice at her, then shot himself. She had swooned and did not awaken until more than four hours later, she said. Then she saw her husband’s body on the floor near her. Four Bullets Fired Cadman’s testimony showed that four bullets had been fired, two of them showing signs of blood. Slated to testify for the defense is Ralph Bradford, Long Beach police criminologist, who is expected to support the theory of suicide rather than murder. The state expects to recall Cadman later for rebuttal of Bradford’s testimony. Repudiation of the defunct pact technically put the Nationalists in position to sanction the bombing of the Chinese Changchun railway in Manchuria which is feeding war supplies made in Russia to Chinese and Korean Red forces in Korea. Also it would technically permit Chiang to apply military pressure against the Soviet naval bases of Dalren and Port Arthur in Manchuria or take part in United Nations operations against the ports if such a decision were reached by the international organization. The repudiation embraced the entire treaty, including that portion in which the Nationalists recognized the independence of Outer Mongolia. The Nationalists served notice they regard Outer Mongolia as part of China. Seen as Gesture Thus, from Tiapeh’s viewpoint, Nationalist guerrilla raids against Outer Mongolia would be legal, although such action is largely theoretical right now. In Washington, U. S. officials looked on Chiang’s action as largely a gesture which put the diplomatic record straight and helped morale. Authorities doubted that it had any connection with talk of a naval blockade, or Nationalist plans to raid the mainland. The 1945 pact was an outgrowth of the controversial wartime Yalta agreement. The Nationalist government did not consult the United States or any other foreign power before renouncing the agreement, spokesman Shen Chang-Huan said. Russ Violated Treaty “I’m sure, however, that other governments will realize we have a sound legal basis for our decision,” the spokesman added. “According to accepted principles of international law when one policy via all expedited oda and a designation of the land, the entire area comprising er Anaheim will be predestined as to its future use.

Comprehensive Plan According to the plan southeastern district is the suited land in Orange county industrial use. The plan also calls for venting of businesses along highways and manoughares in favor of a coition of the business area, in each direction from the point. In order to bring about apletion of the plan, the of commerce is embarking all-out drive designed to dustry into Greater A which will bring with its population and business.

CAIRO (AP)—Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser, acting Army Chief of Staff, declared Monday the British must either pull out of the strategic Suez Canal Zone area or "fight for their lives." The 1945 pact was an outgrowth of the controversial wartime Yalta agreement. The Nationalist government did not consult the United States or any other foreign power before renouncing the agreement, spokesman Shen Chang-Huan said. Russ Violated Treaty "I'm sure, however, that other governments will realize we have a sound legal basis for our decision," the spokesman added. "According to accepted principles of international law when it, the other is entitled to renounce it." Details on New Hospital at Costa Mesa Given Further details of proposed construction of the Fairview state hospital at Costa Mesa, under an emergency appropriation of $11,500,000 voted by the state legislature last month, have been disclosed by State Architect Anson Boyd. He disclosed that nine buildings will be built under the appropriation, work to start in about six months. Initial construction plans for the 1500-bed hospital for mentally retarded children call for an administration and central hospital unit costing $5,137,000; a four-ward building costing $1,179,000; an $655,000 laundry unit; $347,000 boiler plant; $369,000 for equipment; and $1,647,000 for development of the site, consisting of 74 acres between Harbor blvd. and Santa Ana river, and between Adams and Wilson streets.

This will encompass an area of 20 square miles, eventually to be inhabited by a maximum population of 90,000, which at present will be known as “Greater Anaheim.” Although a long-range plan, it has been calculated on the basis of development in recent years that the population of Anaheim will reach 25,000 by 1955. Following the same figures, the population will be doubled in each successive ten-year period, reaching the maximum figure by 1972. However, the present pace in development is not expected to be maintained, and the approximate state of the fulfillment of the plan is hypothetical. Metropolitan County Seen The ultimate goal, with the cooperation of neighboring cities, is to form a metropolitan area in northern Orange county, according to directors of the chamber. The plan, a progressive annexation policy via all expedient methods and a designation of the most practical use of the land so that the entire area comprising Greater Anaheim will be predetermined as to its future use.

Y. (UP) Here, in brief, are the issues that will probably come before the seventh UN assembly that begins meeting here today: 1. Korea. Persons familiar with U.S. policy insist the Lodge delegation will not propose a naval blockade of Red China or any serious extension of the economic embargo recommended by the assembly in 1951. 2.

Temper Tantrums By Rev. Wm. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church I was the official saw-filer for a bunch of carpenters on a large job and most of the time I was kept busy filling the saws that had hit a nail or otherwise had become dull. One day a new man was hired and as was the rule, brought his own tools. Before the lunch hour, when he was sawing through a board, his saw cramped for lack of "set" and just naturally being dull. He flew into a rage, jerked the saw about cursing it at the same time (as though the saw knew that it was being scolded) and stormed around in general. One of the carpenters chided him about his temper and said, "Take the saw over to Mack and let him fix it up. He's getting paid for keeping our saws in good shape." The man brought the saw over to the little workshop on the job. It was the first I had seen him or it. The saw had been greatly abused; but after care in filing and giving it the proper "set," the saw worked beautifully again. I have often thought of that incident and am reminded of people who just foolishly display their temper on very small provocation. Willie is called in from play to run an errand for mother. He comes in reluctantly stomping his feet at every step. Mother wants Susie to wash the dinner dishes, for she had had a hard day. Susie slams the door like it was to blame. Mother kicks the cat which doesn't know why. Fred lays on the auto horn so he can have the road to himself. Daddy hits the wrong nail and he throws the hammer with a nasty oath while he grabs his bleeding thumb. Then he has to go over and pick up the hammer and begin all over. He is less able to do good work after such violence. All these are ways of swearing. Our dispositions are out of order, and we cannot do good work so we 'throw a fit' and then find ourselves jumpy and less capable than before. Jesus, the Great Mender of human hearts, is waiting for us to take our troubles and sorrows to Him. He can do it and He will. Find yourself regularly in some church. There you can learn through the worship service, how to conquer yourself.
