McFadden so worded his motion to reject the ordinance present to the board by the Orange county Trailer Park Operators association which wanted practically all trailers forced into trailer parks. Accordingly an estimated 70 trailer occupants in Orange county may continue living in back yards or anywhere they please. The ordinance would prohibit the parking of trailers outside of trailer parks, except permit one trailer on a single family dwelling lot, and that only one month in the year. Trailer park operators said that the backyard trailer was a health menace, because of poor sanitation facilities; that it evaded taxes, and constituted an aesthetic eyesore.

Vinson (D-Ga.) urging a two-year extension of the selective service law, told the House today the United States "must be prepared for an indefinite time in the future" to meet attack. Vinson, as chairman of the Armed Services committee, opened debate on the bill. He called the attention of the House to warnings by Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that "It is not enough that we plan to win wars after they start—we must prevent them before they begin." While extending the draft until 1952, the proposed legislation would put actual inductions on a stand-by basis subject to the decision of congress to call up men for service. All youths between 18 and 26 would continue to register with OK City Plan; Y Retirement Employees; The 168 employees step closer to a retirement authorized City Clerk for participation in the ment program. The move climaxed the Anaheim Municipal Em Association, headed by Holyoke and the council. Generally speaking, the ment plan is a 50-50 contri proposition, Holyoke said. Effect, the plan would cost the Anaheim about $5000 a mo $60,000 a year, he added. Scheduled to go into effect 1, the plan will provide pensation for the municipal employees who are now in for social security or other ment benefits. Employees who will benefit the retirement plan are o into three categories: police Midway Drive Freeway Access Under Study Means of providing access to the Santa Ana Freeway, soon to be constructed, for residents of Midway dr., Anaheim, between Manchester blvd., and Highway 101, are being studied by County Road Commissioner Harold Springer. Residents of the drive represented by Attorney M. D. Wellington presented a petition to the county supervisors yesterday in protest of plans by the State Highway department for the freeway which would omit access for Midway dr. The residents seek construction of an access road paralleling the freeway along the east side of Manchester (which will be the freeway under the new plan). Chairman Willis Warner stated that an access road is planned on the west side of the freeway where there are fewer residents but that none is planned on the east side where recent growth has been rapid. Yegg Victim Gets Wallet Back – Empty The wallet which bandits took from Casper Orient when they held up his Five Points liquor store last Wednesday night was returned to him yesterday by two men who found it in Buena Park. Orient reported the return to Anaheim Police yesterday evening. Officers McKenzie and Rogers picked the wallet up to Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that "It is not enough that we plan to win wars after they start—we must prevent them before they begin." While extending the draft until 1952, the proposed legislation would put actual inductions on a stand-by basis subject to the decision of congress to call up men for service. All youths between 18 and 26 would continue to register with their draft boards and be processed as at present. But until the House and Senate, acting together, declared a national emergency existed which required an increase in the armed forces: 1. No inductions could be ordered. 2. The president could not mobilize industry or take over war-essential plants. 3. No 18-year-olds could enlist. 4. Voluntary enlistments of less than two years would be prohibited. The draft-extension bill also authorizes the president, upon declaration of a national emergency, to order into active service all members of the military reserve for 21 months. However, 18-year-old reserves would be excused from this duty at their own request. No large-scale opposition was anticipated by house leaders. Congress has been warned by defense chiefs that continuation of selective service is essential for the duration of the cold war. Reason For Difference Reason for the difference yoke explained, is two-fold: retirement plans for member police and fire departments sified under general head of employees, were instigated e and second, administrators that it is necessary to main lower age average among members of the safety service. Full pensions are awarded basis of half the employee's pay. Safety employees are e after 20 years service. Laneous employees get pe after 30 years. Partial pension will be given to employees who retire within the required years of service.

Orient reported the return to Anaheim Police yesterday evening. Officers McKenzie and Rogers picked the wallet up to check for finger prints. None were clearly distinguishable. He told police that the wallet was found under a hedge in Buena Park. Apparently thrown out of a moving car, it contained only identification cards. It contained about $100 when Orient surrendered to the gunman last Wednesday. The two bandits got away with a total of $310.73 when they raided the store. 182 Lots Get Green Light Subdividers got the green light on tracts involving 182 new dwellings in Anaheim as the City Council passed on four final maps last night. Two other final maps, involving adjoining subdivisions were rejected by the Councilmen. Largest of the prospective subdivisions ok'd last night is that contemplated by Jones brothers of Long Beach at the intersection of North and Citron streets. The plan calls for 98 lots. On recommendation of the planning commission, the following restrictions were imposed: subdividers must erect buildings of not less than 1204 square feet facing West North and West Wilhelmina streets.

The move climaxed three years of joint work between the Anaheim Municipal Employees Association, headed by George Holyoke and the council. Generally speaking, the retirement plan is a 50-50 contributory proposition, Holyoke said. In effect, the plan would cost the city of Anaheim about $5000 a month or $0,000 a year, he added. Scheduled to go into effect August 1, the plan will provide compensation for the municipal employees who are now ineligible for social security or other retirement benefits. Employees who will benefit by the retirement plan are divided into three categories: policemen, firemen, and others. ‘Can Reduce Cold War Tensions’, Lie LONDON (AP)—Trygve Lie, summing up his talks in London, Paris and Moscow, declared tonight the possibility exists of constructive negotiations to “reduce the tensions of the cold war and ultimately bring it to an end.” The United Nations secretary-general made this statement shortly after Foreign Secretary Bevin announced Britain feels communist China should have a seat in the United Nations. The China issue is the principal obstacle in the way of normal functioning of the U.N. Russia. Ernest Zitzmann Dies Last Night One of the most distinguished members of St. Michael's Episcopal church, Mr. Ernest Zitzmann, 78 years, of 526 W. Chestnut st., died last evening. His death came unexpectedly following a meeting of the Eastern Star which he had attended. Surviving are his wife, Lulu; a daughter, Mrs. John S. Lanpert of Orange and one grandchild, Harriet Jane Lanpert. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at two o'clock at St. Michael's with the Rev. John K. Saville, officiating. Graveside rites will be conducted at the Fairhaven Cemetery by the Anaheim Masonic Lodge. The remains will be in state at the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbar Mortuary, Friday. The late Mr. Zitzmann was born in Nuerenburg, Germany and came up his talks in London, Paris and Moscow, declared tonight the possibility exists of constructive negotiations to "reduce the tensions of the cold war and ultimately bring it to an end." The United Nations secretary-general made this statement shortly after Foreign Secretary Bevin announced Britain feels communist China should have a seat in the United Nations. The China issue is the principal obstacle in the way of normal functioning of the U.N. Russia and Britain have recognized communist China; France and the U.S. have not. At Lake Success, Soviet and Nationalist China delegations withheld comment on Bevin's statement. U.N. sources would not say whether it meant Britain is ready now to vote for the ousting of the Nationalist Chinese. Informed diplomats in Paris said France would not stand in the way of communist China's being seated in the U.N. in place of the Nationalists. Blame Russia Bevin, who saw Lie yesterday, blamed Russia for the China deadlock and challenged her to retake her places on the U.N. bodies she has been boycotting. Lie, leaving by air tonight for U.N. headquarters at Lake Success, promised to continue his efforts for a renewed approach within the framework of the United Nations to end the cold war. A spokesman for the secretary general said Lie would meet President Truman and U.S. Secretary of State Acheson in Washington some time next week. He saw President Truman before coming to Europe. "No Doors Closed" In a statement Lie said: "At this time I can only say that I am not dissatisfied with my talks in the three European capitals: No doors have been closed. I return to the headquarters of the United Nations with the belief that the possibility of constructive negotiation exists. But the results of these exchanges of views and ideas on the United Nations and the so-called 'Cold War' cannot be judged except as they become apparent during the next two or three months. It is necessary to be patient." "The fact that my visits as secretary-general to the four capitals have aroused so much public interest demonstrates not only the gravity of the present division between the two sides in the cold war. It also demonstrates that the United Nations offers the only way by which this division can be More Firms Pledge Support Of Blood Bank When the Red Cross Mobile Blood unit makes its quarterly visit to Anaheim Friday, a growing list of donors will greet it.
