Adenauer Wins German Election in Landslide BONN, Germany UP — Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, strengthened by a landslide election victory, said today the West German people have given a clear mandate for a European defense community. This community will include a German army to fight beside the western nations against any Communist attack. Adenauer summoned his cabinet to meet tomorrow to discuss the election victory, which gives his coalition a majority of 125 in the 487-seat bundestag. The victory of Adenauer's pro-American coalition was a major victory also for the western democracies in the cold war and a humiliating defeat for Soviet Russia. Adenauer's three-party team smothered its opposition under an avalanche of votes in Sunday's election by Germans who chose to stick with the West during the next four years. The volgars turned out in droves to endorse the rearmament platform of the 77-year-old Chancellor and ignore warnings from Russian Premier Georgi Malenkov that an Adenauer victory would lead to war. At the same time voters removed the Communists and the Nazis like German Reich Party from West German politics by denying them even one seat in the Bundestag (lower house). None of the 38 seats in the Bundesrat (upper house) was at stake. Adenauer's Christian Democrats learned with the Free Democrats and the German Party to win 306 of the 487 Bundestag seats in the contest. With the addition of these five new strips, the Bulletin takes one more step towards its plans for the future to bring subscribers the finest, most complete newspaper in Orange County with complete local and national news coverage, special features, feature stories for your evening enjoyment and a wide picture coverage of what is going on in Anaheim. Major Gen. Blackshear M. Bryan, chief U.N. delegate to the military armistice commission, "categorically" denied the charge. The United Nations announced that it would repatriate all of its captives who wanted to go home and said that the last were turned over to the Communists Sunday, when "operation big switch" ended. At a meeting of the military armistice commission at Pamunium, jom today, the Communists charged the U.N. with three more violations of the Korean truce. Truman Hits at Policy of GOP DETROIT (U.P.) — Former President Truman sailed back into the political arena today with the charge that the Republican administration is helping big business at the expense of the rest of the people. The former Chief Executive, who steadfastly has refrained from any public statements on the government's domestic and foreign policies since he left the White House on Jan 20, accused the Eisenhower administration of operating "on the theory that if big business is well off, enough of its wealth and income will trickle down to the rest of the population to keep the system going." Speaks to Labor Groups Mr. Truman addressed a Labor Day meeting sponsored by the American Federation of Labor, The CIO and all other Michigan labor organizations. "This administration has raised interest rates across the board," Mr. Truman said. "that may be to the benefit of the money lenders but it surely does hurt the rest of the people." He said it hurts the veteran in buying a house or starting a business and the small business man needing credit to expand, as well as the taxpayer paying interest on the public debt. Points to "Other Signs" It is a perfect example of that discredited old trickle-down theory," the former President said. Mr. Truman said there were no longer so concerned for the welfare of all of us." He said the public housing program had been "condemned to death" and that the farmer is "being told that he ought to 'go it alone' again." In the field of foreign policy, Mr. Truman said two are enter- At the same time voters removed the Communists and the Nazi-like German Reich Party from West German politics by denying them even one seat in the Bundestag (lower house). None of the 38 seats in the Bundestat (upper house) was at stake. Adenauer's Christian Democrats teamed with the Free Democrats and the German Party to win 306 of the 487 Bundestag seats in the contest. The coalition failed to gain the two-thirds majority that would enable Adenauer to amend the constitution and end the court dispute on whether rearmament is legal. However, it was believed that the tiny Center Party and the Refugee Association which won four and 27 seats, respectively, would join forces with Adenauer and give him the majority. Under Germany's election system, each voter cast two ballots. First he voted for the candidate of his choice for a Bundestag seat. Then he endorsed, on a second ballot, the party of his choice. The party receiving the greatest percentage of votes in each constituency will name its candidates to the Bundestag. The outcome of the voting was disastrous to the Communists, who had polled almost six per cent on the votes in 1949 and had won 15 seats in the old parliament. The Reds will have no representation in the new Bundestag. Even worse absurdities were made by the neutralist All-German People's party led by former Rechl Chancellor Josef Wirth, Adeauer's former Interior Minister, Gustave Heinemann and famed Protestant Pastor Martin Noemoeller.

Miss Hayworth, who was accompanied on the trip from Hollywood by Haymes, registered at the Sands where Haymes is staying. The crooner completed an engagement at the hotel two weeks ago and since then has been making short flying trips to the film capital to visit Miss Hayworth who was completing sequences for her latest film, “Sadie Thompson.” Nevada’s residence law requires that Haynes spend only two hours a day in the state to maintain residence. This has enabled him to take an engagement at the Del Mar Hotel in California, opening Sept. 11. He will return here by every night’s performance.

Meanwhile, Haymes faces possible deportation action to his native Argentina on charges of illegally re-entering this country after visiting Miss Hayworth in Hawaii last May.

The importance of the business between the Chief Executive and his State Secretary was indicated by the fact it had to be conducted on a holiday. The President reached his office at 8:25 a.m. Mst and Dulles arrived 15 minutes later, accompanied by a secretary and a State Department security officer carrying Dulles' briefcase. White House aides said they expected the Eisenhower-Dulles meeting to last anywhere from an hour to two and a half hours. Dulles, barring a change in plans, will leave for Washington shortly after his conference with the Chief Executive is concluded. High on the discussion docket undoubtedly was the smashing victory in Western Germany yesterday of the Christian Democrats of the incumbent Chancellor Konrad Adenauer over the Social Democrats led by Dr. Erich Wollenhauer. Dulles said when he arrived here he was "not surprised" by the results of the German election. He received the first news of the Adenauer victory from newsmen who met him at the airfield. Dulles statement last week that an Adenauer defeat would be "disastrous" for the chances of German re-unification led to an outcry from Ollenhauer that this was "improper intervention." This was followed by the published report that Mr. Eisenhower was unhappy over Dulles' remarks about Germany, plus other things the Secretary of State said recently about Trieste, Italy and Japan. Reporters asked Dulles whether there was any friction between himself and the President. "Not that I know of," he replied. Earlier, the White House labeled the report of the President's displeasure as Completely untrue. This label was supplied by Murray Snyder, Assistant White House press secretary who also said that while Mr. Eisenhower had not communicated his feelings to anyone in Denver, he did not know what the President may have said to persons in Washington. There were many other problems before the President and the Secretary, Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia suggested yesterday that the port city of Trieste be made an international city, but that the rest of the Trieste territory be turned over to Yugoslavia. This was certain to set up new tensions with Italy, tensions that will be reflected in other foreign offices, and even in the summer White House. Stevens Okays Confab Score Injured in County Traffic With a score hurt, four probably seriously, motorists on Orange County's highways escaped any deaths thus far over the three-day Labor Day holiday. The California Highway Patrol with every man on duty, predicted no fatalities because of the intensified patrol and because the heavy volume of traffic must move slower. Luckiest man of all those involved in traffic mishaps, was Philip B. Fernandez, 34, of 1512 West Center St., whose scar ran off Harbor Blvd. near Santa Ana river bride at 1:15 yesterday. A guard rallied in front of Northern California took place on the San Francisco Bay Bridge yesterday when three cars collided a half-mile west of the toll plaza. Ten persons were injured, three seriously. It was the second serious crackup on the bridge in less than 24 hours. Highway Patrolmen said an easy-bound car driven by Clarence Lewis, Jr., 19, Oakland, struck the rear of another eastbound car driven by Carl Wanamaker, 23 Alameda Naval Air Station, War amaker's car crashed the center line and collided head on with a west-bound car driven by Dorothea Askew of San Francisco. Lewis and his four passengers were unhurt. The three person listed as seriously injured were the drivers of the other two cars and Dorene Schnurle, 30, Oakland. Northern California fatalities included: Mrs. Lynn Hagerty, a San Francisco woman celebrating her 19th birthday. Teaching staff at present of Rev. E. H. Pflug, pass will conduct the confirmance in grades seven and three hours per week; Knigge, with grades seven and eight; will instruct grades five Richard Heitshusen will charge of grades three and six Maxine Heitshusen will teach of grades one and two.

Stevens Okays Confab On McCarthy Charges DENVER (UP)—Secretary of The Army Robert T. Stevens said at summer White House today that he would be willing to confer in Washington tomorrow with Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) on McCarthy’s charges of Communist infiltration in the ranks of civilian Army employees. Stevens has been on a Montana vacation and stopped off at Lowry Air Force Base today to catch a fast ride back to Washington with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Stevens said that while he was on vacation, he saw news stories about the refusal of Col. Wendell G. Johnson, Assistant Chief of Staff of the First Army, to give McCarthy the names of persons who had approved the hiring of three Army employees alleged by the Wisconsin Republican to have Communist records. Stevens said that he then sent McCarthy a telegram saying that he did not know what was involved, but that he would be back in Washington tomorrow morning and would be glad to go to McCarthy’s office and discuss the situation. City Accident Free During Weekend The old adage, “it's better to be safe than sorry,” was being followed by Anaheimers up to press time today, with no traffic injuries being reported by police. Deserted streets of the city were mute proof yesterday and today that a quiet Labor Day was being spent by local citizens. Lack of fire, accidents and major police problems usually besetting officials all aided in a quiet observance of the holiday. Firemen Extinguish Backyard Grass Fire Firemen were called to the rear of a residence owned by Richard Kraft at 413 East Adele St. yesterday at 12:40 p.m. when trash and grass in the yard became ignited. The blaze was extinguished without damage to nearby buildings, it was announced. Weather Occasional high cloudiness today through Tuesday but mostly sunny days.

XXXI NO. 14 POW RETURNS HOME Friends, Relatives Fete Moreno’s Homecoming A piece of white cloth draped in front of the fireplace reading, "Welcome home, Sonny," aptly expressed the joy and spirit in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Hernandez. 316 North Philadelphia St., as they welcomed home Sgt. Manuel G. Moreno, 21, Anaheim’s first prisoner of war to be returned by the Reds. Local Chest Opens Drive for Advance Gifts Tomorrow Sgt. Moreno arrived in the United States Saturday afternoon at 1:45 aboard the USNS Marine Adder at Fort Mason, San Francisco along with 366 other repatriated Korean veterans. His mother, Mrs. Betty A. Hernandez and his brother, Bill, were on the dock to greet Manuel as he came down the gangplank to set his feet on U.S. soil for the first time in more than two years. He was captured May 10, 1951 and was released by the Reds Aug. 18, 1953. The Marine Adder sailed for home on Aug. 21, taking 15 days. Local Chest Opens Drive for Advance Gifts Tomorrow The advance gifts drive for Anaheim Community Chest begins tomorrow and members of the committee will introduce to Anaheim industry a plan that has already been proved acceptable in other cities—the payroll deduction plan of giving. Mayor Charles Pearson and E. J. "Brick" Power, co-chairmen of the advance gifts committee, made a survey of industries in the area and found both the plant managers and personnel receptive to the idea of setting aside a small amount each week for charitable gifts. Teams of volunteer Red Feather workers will call on industry in a four day campaign beginning Tuesday and will introduce the plan's details. Also, they will receive donations that have been set aside for Community Chest. Seven captains will head the teams. Bill Walker will head the team composed of Harry Barnes, H. H.

Wainwright, defender of Bataan and Corregidor, which was brought to Arlington National Cemetery for a hero's burial. Sgt. Moreno arrived in the United States Saturday afternoon at 1:45 aboard the USNS Marine Adder at Fort Mason, San Francisco along with 366 other repatriated Korean veterans. His mother, Mrs. Betty A. Hernandez and his brother, Bill, were on the dock to greet Manuel as he came down the gangplank to set his feet on U.S. soil for the first time in more than two years. He was captured May 10, 1951 and was released by the Reds Aug. 18, 1953. The Marine Adder sailed for home on Aug. 21 taking 15 days to make the crossing. While aboard ship Manuel said he and the other returnees were processed so that they could leave for home on furlough almost immediately after arriving in San Francisco. When asked today how it felt to be home, Manuel replied, "Well, I was reported as saying 'damned good', but I don't recall saying that However, it is wonderful to be home again." Flew Home Mrs. Fernandez and Bill flew to San Francisco Saturday morning and after Manuel received his orders for 30-day leave, they flew back. They arrived home at midnight to be greeted by members of the family and friends who had gathered at the Hernandez home and waited for Manuel. After a few hours sleep Saturday night, Manuel was kept busy yesterday seeing old friends, his relatives and seeing the town again. He hasn't been to bed since Saturday night. He said the lack of sleep doesn't bother him as he learned to go without it while in prison. He said a few hours of sleep would last him two or three days. Of his experiences in the prisoner-of-farm camps, Manuel and the others in the camp learned of the armistice through the Chinese who were not very happy about it. He said the Chinese were very glum about it and he thought they would throw them all in jail. Were Careful He said the threat of being placed in prison hung over their heads constantly and the prisoners had to be careful about what they said or did. He said prisoners learned to know how the day would turn out and what their general treatment would be by the expressions on the faces of the Reds. If they were smiling and apparently happy, the captives knew they could get away with more. However, if the Reds were gloomy and sour, they would throw men in jail for the slightest reason. "We were required to attend the lectures given by the Commies, but I never went for that stuff they were dishing out. They tried to get me to sign petitions for peace and 'Save the Rosenbergs' but I refused to do it." When the Reds saw they could not make me a "progressive" they Body of Wainwright To Lie in State WASHINGTON (UP) — Sentries stood guard today over the body of Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright, defender of Bataan and Corregidor, which was brought to Arlington National Cemetery for a hero’s burial. The old soldier’s body will lie in state in the cemetery’s trophy room prior to final military rites at 11 a.m., EDT, tomorrow. The public will be permitted to pay last respects to the World War II hero. Wainwright’s body is the first to lie in state in the trophy room since the burial of the unknown soldier. A giant C54 flew the body of the Congressional Medal of Honor winner here last night from San Antonio, Tex. Funeral services were held Saturday at Fort Sam Houston where Wainwright began his illustrious military career 51 years ago. The body was moved from the plane through a honor cordon of Third Infantry Regiment soldiers from nearby Fort Myer where Wainwright once commanded the Third Cavalry. A hearse bore the casket on the short trip to Arlington behind a police escort. La Habran Runs Amok In Los Angeles Bank Walter D. Dodson, 22-year-old La Habra resident, today was under observation by police and Los Angeles hospital authorities after he assertedly ran amok in a Los Angeles bank early yesterday. The Orange County man was collared by police after he assertedly broke into main offices of the California Bank at 629 South Spring St., smashed doors, pulled filling cabinets, apart and generally spread havoc throughout the offices until subdued.
