Shoppers Opportunity knocks on the door of every shopper in Anaheim area. See editorial, page 4. VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH In Washington Only Babies And the Sick Get Milk WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington's major dairies and their striking workers, aided by the police, were ready to begin moving milk today to infants and the sick. Under an agreement reached last night, dairy office personnel and representatives of the striking AFL union, would make across-the-counter sales—on doctor's certificates—to: (a) Nursing mothers, (b) infants under two years old and (c) persons suffering certain illnesses. In the event individuals are too ill to come to the dairies for their milk, police cars were to call at the homes to pick up certificates from the doctor. The dairies then Under an agreement reached last night, dairy office personnel and representatives of the striking AFL union, would make across-the-counter sales—on doctor's certificates—to: (a) Nursing mothers, (b) infants under two years old and (c) persons suffering certain illnesses. In the event individuals are too ill to come to the dairies for their milk, police cars were to call at the homes to pick up certificates from the doctor. The dairies then would make delivery. Elsewhere in Washington and its suburbs nearly 1,500,000 persons faced a sharp cut in milk supplies as the strike moved into its fourth day. Many residents were driving far into Maryland and Virginia to buy from independent dairies. One grocer trucked in some 1500 quarts yesterday but it was impounded by district health officials. They had no verification that the milk came from inspected dairies, the officials said. At the capitol, Rep. McMillan (D-SC) said he would ask the House District of Columbia committee today to consider opening the area temporarily to milk imports. McMillan, who is chairman of the committee, introduced a joint resolution yesterday in Congress calling for temporary import permits to meet the growing shortage. Negotiations between the nine big dairies and the striking drivers and plant workers were to resume today. There was no sign when they recessed late last night that they were nearing an agreement. The workers want to work 40 hours a week instead of 48, with no cut in pay. The dairies refused to go that far. Gets Push — But Good! Frederick C. Adler, 126 N. Palm, needed a push to get his car started this morning at 3 a.m. So Mrs. Adler got behind the wheel and he rolled the car out into the darkened street. He got his push. William J.. Klapper, 916. N. Clementine, came along, didn't see the stalled automobile until too late, and smashed into it from behind. Then it was Klapper who needed a push. His car was ultimately taken away to Dubois Garage.

Broadway will be stepping off an Air France Constellation at the airport Paris, France. And in a few days she will be in the little town Lucq de Bearn Basses Pyrenees—the place of her birth which she left January 17, 1921. Paradoxically, Mrs. Miranda said goodbye to her sisters o that winter morning 29 years ago—for only two years—she was coming just for a visit. However her visit has resulted in adopting this country, getting married, giving birth to a daughter and now being the grandmother of two little boys. Left Monday The Anaheim woman left Los Angeles airport Monday morning arriving in New York the same evening. She boarded the plane for France last night. Her stay in France will extend until the 24th of September, when she will leave Paris for America. Mrs. Miranda Hire Engineers for Magnolia Trunk Sewer Line; Petition Gov’t for Advance Funds Resolutions authorizing the appointment of Koebig and Koebig as contracting engineers for the Magnolia Trunk Sewer and petitioning the federal government for advance planning funds for the project were passed last night by Anaheim councilmen. Completion of these proposals awaits approval by other member cities in the sewage construction plan. At the same time, councilmen awarded the contract for construction of a trunk crossing at the Santa Ana Freeway to the R. A. Watson Company on the organization's low bid of $16,253.46. Already approved by other member cities, the project was ok'd ahead of the rest of the sewage line construction in order to complete construction before the Freeway reaches the area set aside for the crossing. As contracting engineers, Koebig and Koebig will be retained to make surveys, prepare designs, plans, estimates and aid in the awarding of construction contracts for the Magnolia Trunk Line. The organization will also assist in the procurement of funds, according to the resolution passed last night. The fee for these services will be four percent of the total construc-tion costs, according to the agreement. Construction costs have been estimated at $2,500,000. As contracting agent, the City of Anaheim will advertise for construction bids when plans have been completed and award contracts. According to last night's resolution, Anaheim will act as agent in the application to the federal government for advancing funds. The government awards monies for the instigation of non-federal public projects which it deems essential to general welfare.

The May total hit a whopping $726,271. This is something better than Plane Crash B-25 Smacks Into Mountain In W. Virginia ELKINS, W. Va. (AP)—An air force B-25 struck in the mountains near the West Virginia-Virginia border today, killing all nine men on board. The plane was from the Olmsted Field base at Middletown, Pa., near Harrisburg. The crash occurred in a craggy area miles from any town. A mountain resident heard the crash about 4 a.m., an hour and a half after it left the Olmsted base. The plane was headed for Offutt Field in Nebraska. The Pennsylvania base announced: "We definitely confirmed that the plane involved is the one missing between here and the Offutt Air Force base, Nebraska." "All nine bodies have been recovered." All aboard were military personnel. The plane hit on the top of Spruce mountain, about 170 miles south of its base. Spruce mountain is one of the highest points in West Virginia, surrounded by other mountains for scores of miles around. It is in the big Monongahela National Forest. Retirement For City’s Help Near Another step toward the retirement plan for Anaheim city employees was taken last night as members of the City Council passed a resolution on intent to enter into the state-designed pension measure. The move for the plan which will encompass some 168 city employees at an estimated cost to the city of $60,000 a year, was begun at the last Council meeting, May 23, climaxing several years of planning by the Employees Association headed by George Holoke. Building Mark Set in May An all-time monthly high for building in Anaheim went down in the books last night with the filing of Building Inspector Rudolph Nyboe's permits-issued report.

Completing the total are permits for several commercial buildings, garages and dwelling alterations. Opens Real Estate Office Here Frank M. Miller, who formerly was a real estate broker in Anaheim, Santa Ana, announced today that he is returning to this business. He has been field secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce for the past 18 months. Miller's resignation from this post is effective Thursday, June 15. His new office will be located at 116 N. Los Angeles. He was a Prudential Insurance agent for 14 years—12 in Cleveland, Ohio and two years in Anaheim prior to entering the real estate business. The city's present per item policy, based on an evaluation of $203,800 costs Anaheim $1.846.16 every three years. New structures and increase in the cost of construction and materials explain the valuation difference, the Tausch report indicated.

In Formosa the Nationalist Chinese newspaper Chuen Min Pa expressed hope the visit of American defense leaders to Japan may bring reconsideration of the U.S. hands-off policy towards Formosa. HONOLULU (AF)—A vast cloud of mysterious origin blanketed 1,200,000 square miles of the Pacific. U. S. Weather Bureau Meteorologist R. H. Simpson said yesterday it might last a day or a week. At Wake Island 2000 miles west of Hawaii, the cloud rose to 16,000 feet. At Hawaii, near the Eastern limit, it had a 7000 foot ceiling. What caused it? Maybe wind-blown African desert sands, said Simpson. Or an explosive eruption down around New Guinea. Or—an atomic explosion. "A concentration of jons in the air could result in such a condition," Simpson explained. Ions are electrified particles jarred loose when an atom is split. The Eniwetok proving grounds, where new atomic tests are expected this summer, lie about 600 miles southwest of Wake. BULLETIN ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AF) Italian armored cars battled through lion-infested jungles today and rescued six Americans whose plane crashed near the Somaliland border Sunday. Radio advises received here said the Americans were taken to Belet, UEN, about 35 miles from the scene of the crash. An Ethiopian airlines plane was waiting there to fly them to Addis Ababa. Earlier radio reports said all were alive but gave no names. Capt. Donald C. Collins of Los Angeles, Ethiopian Airlines pilot, had dropped medicine and food at a spot where the plane's wreckage was believed sighted.
