42 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 VOLUME LOOOII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 23 Korean Reds Killed Guards Stoned as 2000 Fanatic Prisoners Stage Demonstration TOKYO (JP) — Twenty-three North Korean prisoners of war were killed and 42 injured in bloody rioting Saturday at a camp on Yoncho Island, the United Nations Command reported today. The command said guards opened fire when they were attacked by rioting prisoners during a demonstration by some 2000 "fanatical communist North Korean prisoners." Sen. Byrd Says Ike must Insist On No Tax Cuts WASHINGTON (UP)—Sen. Byrd (D-Va) said Saturday President Eisenhower will have to take the lead in demanding that Congress keep taxes up and cut expenses if the new Republican administration is to balance the budget. GOP Sincere Byrd, who aided Eisenhower in the presidential campaign by refusing to support his Democratic opponent, said he is impressed with the sincerity of GOP officials in their desire to equalize expenditures and revenues. The guards were stoned by the prisoners, the command said. Several of the guard were hit by the stones but none was injured seriously. The UN announcement said the action of the guards in firing at prisoners restored order. Yoncho is a small island southeast of Pusan near Koje Island, scene of bloody prisoner riots last year. Mealtime Riot The command said the rioting "was instigated by die-hard Communist enlisted prisoners of war" and began while an unarmed compound commander and his assistant were supervising distribution of food. The compound commander ordered a rule: breaking prisoner brought out of compound, the command said. The prisoner compound representative refused WASHINGTON (P)-Sen. Byrd (D-Va) said Saturday President Eisenhower will have to take the lead in demanding that Congress keep taxes up and cut expenses if the new Republican administration is to balance the budget. GOP Sincere Byrd, who aided Eisenhower in the presidential campaign by refusing to support his Democratic opponent, said he is impressed with the sincerity of GOP officials in their desire to equalize expenditures and revenues. But the Virginia senator said he doesn't believe the goal can be reached unless Congress continues present taxes in force, and cuts at least 79 billion dollars from former President Truman's $78,-600,000,000 spending program for that period. Ike Statement Needed Eisenhower has said there ought not to be any tax cuts until expenditure reductions bring budget balancing in sight. But neither he nor any other influential Republican has gone as far as Byrd in urging continuance of present taxes until July 1, 1954. Byrd said that in his judgement Eisenhower eventually is going to have to spell out in a message to Congress just what he proposes to do about taxes. The Virginian said also that unless the President recommends specific cuts in the Truman budget, Congress will be working in the dark in attempting to make economies. Crippled Check Passer Given Prison Sentence Ralph C. Hayward, 27. Hollywood, crippled permanently as the result of an automobile crack-up while fleeing from Elsinore police, came into Superior Judge Robert Gardner's court in Santa Ana Friday in hospital attire and using crutches, to be sentenced to state prison for check writing. He had admitted writing bogus checks aggregating more than $2,000 in order to finance his honey-moon. They were scattered through Santa Ana, Anaheim and other Southern California cities so thoroughly that he was wanted in Tucareo, Los Angeles, Kern and San Bernardino counties, besides facing the charge prosecuted by Santa Ana police. For that reason Judge Gardner commented that it was "a hopeless situation" for Hayward. Attorney Stephen Gallagher, for the defense, agreed. So Hayward was sentenced to the Chino prison for men. Weather Considerable sunshine Sunday Mealtime Riot The command said the rioting "was instigated by die-hard Communist enlisted prisoners of war" and began while an unarmed compound commander and his assistat were supervising distribution of food. The compound commander ordered a rule--breaking prisoner brought out of compound, the command said. The prisoner compound representative refused to produce the POW and without warning a group of 60 to 70 prisoners attacked the compound commander and his assistant with a hall of rocks. Camp Commander Lt., Col Gerald R. Momeyer, Erie, Pa., arrived at the scene and ordered the prisoners be produced at once. Tear Gas Used When prisoners refused, a tactical squad of troops was ordered to enforce the order with tear gas. "Immediately POWs in the other three compounds of the enclosure, whipped into mass hysteria by their hardcore Communist leaders, instituted usual riot procedure, shouting defiance and chanting in a frenzied manner as they milled about," the UN command said. Again tear gas was brought into use, the command said, "but rotters throwing overcoats and blankets over their heads, continued their rampage and attacked UN security personnel with stones." "When mutinous prisoners attacked guards, Colonel Momeyer put his emergency plan into effect to prevent a mass breakout and UN security personnel opened fire with individual weapons. This action restored order." The UN said the mutiny was the second POW demonstration in three days. Communist civilian internees in a camp on nearby Pongam island Thursday attacked and stoned guards who were trying to quiet a chanting, defiant mob. The guards killed one internee in restoring order. Policemen Demand Separate Trials Separate trials were demanded and granted to five former Newport Beach police officers when they appeared Friday before Presiding Judge Raymond Thompson in superior court at Santa Ana and pleaded not guilty to charges of burglary. Sgt. Harris L. Cottle, 34, charged with two counts of burglary, will go on trial March 31 in Judge Kenneth E. Morrison's court. Sgt. Robert N. Atkinson, 27, two counts was ordered to trial April Convicted Rapist Gets Year in Jail Andrew Joseph Enneman, 19 of Buena Park, last of three youths to appear in court for the Separate trials were demanded and granted to five former Newport Beach police officers when they appeared Friday before Presiding Judge Raymond Thompson in superior court at Santa Ana and pleaded not guilty to charges of burglary.

Patrolman Douglas James, 22, one count, will be tried March 30 in Judge Thompson's court. Patrolman William J. Dugan, 24, two counts, will go on trial March 23 in Judge West's court. A-Blast to Work on 100 Autos, Frame Buildings LAS VEGAS, Nev. — A hundred or more automobiles, some of them brand new, will be exposed to the St. Patrick's day atomic blast to determine how safe you would be in your car if the real thing went off. No. 1 in the atomic energy commission's spring series is designed chiefly to put the searing heat of a nuclear explosion on the things folks deal with daily. It already has been announced that two frame houses will be in the target area, one only half a mile from the blast's center. Promoted Cars The federal civil defense administration found itself without enough money to build or buy all the things it wanted to study. So it promoted the cars from manufacturers and dealers in all parts of the country. It pitched the problem to dealers like this: "One of the great gaps in our knowledge is the amount of protection afforded by typical American automobiles. Because the American public owns and operate nearly 40 million automobiles, it is certain that an enemy attack would find many thousands of people in cars." Patriotic Response J. Slaten Jenner, director of the project, says FCDA is proud of the patriotic response, in view of the conditions. The cars will be driven here at their owners' expense, and back again for exhibition purposes if they can be driven. In an agreement with each dealer, FCDA put it quite frankly: "In making this contribution to this important atomic test, I understand there is a possibility the condition of this car may not permit its return." In return for his expense and risk, the dealer can have a reserved seat at Charleston park, 40 miles or more from where the bomb goes off, and the chance to display the car in his home town if he gets back with it. Cars to Contain Dummies As FCDA puts it: "Cars will be focal points for public instruction of what the test did, and what people can expect if the atom blasts hits them in cars." To help assess what would happen to humans, many of the cars will contain dummies—the same sort of mannequins you see in store windows. They will be placed in various positions, crouching on the floor, some scaled behind the wheel. Some will have full gas tanks some empty; some will have windows up, some down. All body types will be used, in models from 1946 to 1953. It is apt to be some time before the undamaged cars are back home home on display. First they will have to cool off, in the radioactive sense, and the expert will put them through detailed examinations.

British Promise to Help Blockade Red China from Receiving War Materials WASHINGTON (UP)—Britain has had to help impose an ecoblockade on shipment of civil materials to Red China. It was announced here Saturday at the close of British-American foreign policy and economic talks. At the same time, the two nations indicated the United States has encouraged Britain to plunge into freer currency and trade policies. Two communiques, one on foreign policy and the other on econonic policy, closed out formal talks which began here Wednesday. Participating were British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, Secretary of State Dulles, British Chancellor of the Exchequer R. A. Butler and Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey. The two diplomatically-worded announcements boiled down to this: 1. The British will try to eliminate the sore spot in their relations with the United States that is, shipments to Red China of materials useful for a war effort. At the same time they will stand firm on their Middle Eastern policy, especially as regards Iran. 2. The two nations will cooperate, and Britain will take direct action in the sterling area, in a farflung attempt to loosen monetary and trade shackles with the aim of strengthening free world economies to support a long struggle against Communism. Informed American and British officials said Britain decided on her own and before the talks opened to crack down on strategic trade with Red China. It was noted, however, that the foreign policy communique gave no indication that Britain would break off diplomatic relations with the Chinese Communists or cease trading with them altogether. Only stratologic trade was mentioned.

"It will consequently be necsary to conduct a thorough amination to clarify the matter." The examination will involve only painstaking interrogations; the pilot but also examinations of the aircraft." Three Men Burnen In Brea Canyon Oil Rig Fire Fire which destroyed a portali oil rig in Brea Canyon Friday night burned one man critical and two others less serious while causing many thousands of dollars damage. Altus Magnuss, 40, of Lalwood, was taken to a Fullerton hospital with three-fourths of the surface of his body seared by flames. His head and face were badly burned. His attending phisiacian, Dr. E. M. Pettis, said a condition is serious. Suffering first- and second-degree burns about the head and face were Lawrence McCraney, Puente, and his brother, Harn McCraney, 26, of El Monte. Unverified reports stated thaan explosion preceded the fracwhich flared up at 9:25 p.m. the Shell lease, a mile north of Flacity limits. Two vehicles from each of four NEW YORK (AP)—The Atomic Energy Commission will allow the public to see for the first time via television, the havoc created by an atomic explosion during its tests March 17 at Yucca Flats, Nev. A pooled telecast, will be made of the blast itself, expected at 5:30 a.m., PST. Later in the day cameras will be allowed to move in close to show the damage caused to two typical frame dwellings, several automobiles and various types of bomb shelters in the target areas. An atomic explosion at the same site was telecast a year ago over improvised relay facilities, providing somewhat spotty and shaky pictures of the blast, but cameras were not allowed to show the effects of the explosion. The AEC and Federal Civilian Defense Administration are pulling the curtain aside on the forthcoming tests as a shocker to alert the public to the need for civil defense activities and for blood donations. Atom Cannon To be Fired WASHINGTON (AP)—The government announced Saturday night it will fire an atomic projectile from the world's first atomic cannon during the spring series of nuclear experiments starting shortly at the Nevada proving grounds. The huge, 280-millimeter guns, of which several have been made, were fired frequently during the last year but never with an actual atomic-loaded shell. The gun has a range of about 20 miles. The army demonstrated at Aberdeen that, despite its 85 - ton weight, the gun is mobile. The weapon is carried between two motor tractors and can move across fields as well as along highways. Mrs. Thorpe Gets Manslaughter Rap Mrs. Frances Conant Thorpe, 41-year-old practical nurse, who was found guilty of manslaughter in the fatal shooting of her husband, Herman Theodore Thorpe, 52, at their home in Seal Beach last Thanksgiving Day, was sentenced Friday to a term of one to 10 years in the women's prison at Corona. Sentence was pronounced by Superior Judge Raymond Thompson at Santa Ana, when Mrs. Thorpe appeared with her attorney, S. B. Kaufman, of Anaheim. She had been charged with murder, but the jury reduced the offense to manslaughter with its verdict. Mrs. Thorpe had insisted that her husband shot himself after she had swooned when he fired two shots at her. One had creased and blackened her hand, the other leaving powder burns on her bathrobe and "burning" one arm. Anaheimer Pleads No Guilt in Theft Claiming that he did not take all of the articles he is accused of stealing from a trailer at an Anaheim motel last Jan. 18, Anselmo de la Cruz entered a technical plea of not guilty, when arraigned on a grand theft charge in superior court at Santa Ana Friday. His trial was set for March 19 in Judge Robert Gardner's court, without a jury. The defendant is accused of taking articles worth $465 from a trailer belonging to Virgil M. Smith of Sacramento, who had stopped at the motel in Anaheim. Suffering first- and second-degree burns about the head and face were Lawrence McCraney, Puente, and his brother, Haru McCraney, 26, of El Monte. Unverified reports stated that an explosion preceded the firing which flared up at 9:25 p.m. The Shell lease, a mile north of Brea city limits. Two vehicles from each of four fire departments rushed to the scene and battled the flames till about 12:50 a.m. Saturday when it was brought under control. Fire-fighting equipment relied from Orange headquarters in the state forestry division, Your Linda sub-station; and the cities Brea and La Habra. Expert Panel on Russia Proposed WASHINGTON (AP)—Sen Murray (R-SD) proposed Saturday immediate creation of a group experts to help the administration set a pattern for dealing with new Moscow regime. He said President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles should be able to draw on people in and out of government we have specialized knowledge Russia and the iron curtain countries as well as "international communism and its tactics." Mundt said he doubted American policy in this critical period can "stem from one man mind." And he suggested that U.S. policy be coupled with a "continue manifestation of friendship for a people of Russia and other Communist countries" and expresses hope that "freedom and self-determination may again open in countries now dominated Communist dictators." Canes Ignore Polish Reds, ismantle MIG-15 Flier iberated Last Thursday COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP)—The Russian-built MIG-15 jet fighter landed by a Danish air force lieutenant on the Danish Baltic island of Bornholm was taken apart Saturday and loaded on a ship bound for Copenhagen under armed naval escort. Allied aircraft are making a thorough study of it. The plane would be a rare prize if it can be put together again and flown. A MIG-15 found in Korea was not air-worthy. Very armed Danish soldiers away the enraged first secof the Polish legation here, rushed to Bornholm to claim plane. He was not even alto watch Danish air force lists take it apart.

Escorting her into the ballroom is Prince Charming, Mike Gerber. Marilyn was chosen from a group of six contestants for the title. Molotov's Appointment as Foreign Minister may Mean Tougher Policy WASHINGTON (UP) — Appointment of V. M. Molotov as foreign minister in Georgian Malenkov's new Soviet government is regarded by top U.S. officials as a move toward giving Russia a more aggressive foreign policy. While none in high position here could say how or in what area Russia's steady pressure for Communist expansion might be intensified, the tendency of the best-informed officials was to look for possible trouble in the Middle East. That vulnerable area is of great importance to the West and even before Stalin's death the Soviets had begun to woo the Arabs with propaganda. West To Sit Tight President Eisenhower, Secretary of State Dulles and British Foreign Secretary Eden have been reviewing the possible effects of the Russian government reorganization. They are reported to agree that for the moment the Western powers should sit tight, avoiding any action which might be considered either provocative or softening their determination to defend the free world. While authorities now believe the Kremlin may embark on a more aggressive pursuit of its foreign policy aims, they do not look for any quick, basic change in those aims. After all, the men who are now in the forefront in Russia were close to Premier Stalin and presumably were decisively influenced by his policies. Malenkov himself, so far as factual information and firsthand impressions go is almost an unknown quantity. Many Americans consider him to be a hater of the West. Daily Living for Peace of Mind 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. "Are You An Enemy?" By Pastor Bob Kevorkian First Baptist Church Oh, I am all for the church. Yes, I believe it a great force for good. America would lose a great deal if she lost the church. Well, then, no doubt you would like to join by expressing your heartfelt belief in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour." No, that's different. I choose to occasionally attend and I agree with what she stands for but I do not believe it is necessary to join. These people are known as sideliners. They are content in watching other people do the fighting. Yes, they are classified as well-intentioned individuals who are all for the success of Christianity and the cause of Jesus Christ, only they have never bothered themselves with it. Jesus said, "He that is not with me is against me." Each word in the phrase is a monosyllable. However, the accumulative effect is terrific. What is Jesus saying here? He is warning every man that fence sitters are deceiving themselves. It is impossible for a man to sit in the grandstand and watch the game of life go on before him. Every man is counted, whether he stands up or not; for either he is on God's side or else he stands with the enemy. "He that is not with me is against me." The world is not going to hell only because of the wickedness of evil men. The reign of wickedness is the result of the indifference of the multitudes. There is not an evil today that does not feed upon the unconcern of those who will not stand against it. In these chaotic days in the world's history, when mighty issues are in the balance, it is not enough, my friend, to mean well. The man who stands aside is an obstructor of justice, an enemy of truth, a cooperator with the forces of evil. Neutrality is illusory.
