Earlier it had been revealed that
Macarthur, commander of all allied
forces in the southwest Pacific,
conferred with Curtin at Sydney on

announced extension of the out-of-
bounds area, previously limited to
Los Angeles city. to the suburban
communities of Huntington Park,
haywood, Lynwood, Montebello

The order was an effort to halt
violence involving hoodlums, large

by strengthened police patrols in
the city, has moved into nearby
towns.
