Girl Scouts In Pre Camp Test Yesterday Final testing of leadership techniques to be used at the annual Anaheim Girl Scout's summer day camp underwent a pre-camp trial yesterday as adult and teen-age leaders met with a "guinea pig" group of Brownie Girl Scouts at Jack Fisher park in Santa Ana. Under direction of Director Mrs. Jerry Schiller, the group worked with handicraft and woodcraft and received final instructions for the mid-July camp session. Mrs. Clyde Dawson is assisting as Day Camp chairman. Brownies on hand to get a "sneak preview" of activities included Marie Arias, Jerry Lynne Schiller, Betsy Spielman, Margaret Wittesch, Claudia Schiller and Carolyn Dugdale.

Mc Clurg, president of the striking AFL-Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach employees, and his entire executive board recommended acceptance of the final offer by the management of Los Angeles Transit Lines. The new two-year agreement provides: a wage increase of five cents an hour the first year over the average of $1.47 an hour; an additional three-cent boost after one year; an eight-hour day, 40-hour week; improved vacation and overtime plans.

State Department Adviser John Foster Dulles arrived in Tokyo today for talks with General Douglas MacArthur on the possibilities of an early separate peace treaty with Japan. General MacArthur has been reviewing the whole subject of American defense strength in the Far East with Defense Secretary Johnson and General Omar Bradley. The occupation commander is expected to tell Dulles the Japanese have earned some form of a peace settlement, and that the present government would be willing to grant military bases in Japan to the U.

Its present U.S. Commander wants the United States to keep it after a peace treaty is signed. Johnson and Bradley are leaving tomorrow for an inspection of air defenses on Okinawa. Dulles, on arrival from Korea, said: "I am here because the United States government has some positive ideas it wants to carry out." In Washington political observers said the reviews of U.S. policy under way in Tokyo and in the U.S. Capital have torn wide open again the dispute as to whether America should help Chiang Kai-Shek defend Formosa. The United States has maintained a hands-off policy of Formosa up until now. But Washington observers said the fact that all Far Eastern policies are being reviewed opens a possibility of a reversal of this position.

Today's session is (Continued on Page 2) Our grandmothers made excellent bread, and judging from the empty bread shelves in the stores today, it looks as we would have to try our hand at it. To insure a really good home bakery loaf, keep in mind a few basic rules of bread making. Dissolve yeast in lukewarm liquid as directed in the following recipe. The other liquid added to bread dough is usually scalded, killing harmful bacteria. To knead dough: Press it with the palms of the hands, then fold the farthest edge to the center. Repeat this motion, turning the dough as you knead it. When the ingredients have been combined, place the dough warm, lightly greased bowl. Reverse the dough so that the grease part will be on top to prevent a crust from forming. Rise in a place where it will be free from drafts. The temperature should be between 75 and 85 degrees. If bread rises too quickly it may be coarse. Be prepared to preheat the oven so that it will have the degree of heat called into the recipes when the bread is put in. WHITE BREAD (Two 5x10 inch loaves) Scald: 1 cup milk Add: 1 cup hot water Pour these ingredients over: 2 tablespoons oleomargarine 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons salt In a separate bowl dissolve: 1 yeast cake In: ¼ cup warm water When the first mixture is lukewarm, combine it with the dissolved yeast Sift before measuring: 7 cups flour (do not use cake flour) Stir in slowly 3 cupfuls of flour. Beat the batter for about a minute, then add the remaining flour. Toss the dough on a floured board. Knead it well until the dough no longer sticks to the board and is smooth, elastic and full of bubbles. Put the dough in a bowl, cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Will take about an hour. Cut down by kneading to its origi bulk and let rise again until dried in bulk about 1½ hour. Shape the dough into two loops and place in greased tins. Tin should only be half full. Rise until doubled its bulk and bake at 450 degrees for minutes. Reduce the heat to degrees. Bake the bread until shrinks from the sides of the pan probably one hour of baking move at once from the pans place on a wire cake cooler that it will have air on all sides. If you are pressed for time, is a quick method of making your bread. From start to finish takes about two and a half hours to make and yields an acceptable loaf.

Meanwhile, the West Coast bread famine continued as striking AFL bakers and wholesale bakery operators remained deadlocked this morning over the issue of a 35-hour week. At Hadley's Bakery, the ovens kept turning out the bread until 9 p.m. last night when, unable to keep up with the demand, they finally ran out. The picture wasn't any different today. “They're buying it faster than we can make it,” W. C. Tuttle, baker, said this morning. “We've run out once today.” Tuttle had no idea how much bread he was baking. “We just bake it and out it goes.” Nation at Glance Flying Discs, This Time at Hamilton Field At Hadley's Bakery, the ovens kept turning out the bread until 9 p.m. last night when, unable to keep up with the demand, they finally ran out. The picture wasn't any different today. "They're buying it faster than we can make it," W. C. Tuttle, baker, said this morning. "We've run out once today." Tuttle had no idea how much bread he was baking. "We just bake it and out it goes." "Too Hot to Handle" Klapper's Bakery closed at 6 o'clock last night with a flurry of business. People milled around the counter and gingerly picked up loaves almost too hot to handle as they were rushed out of the oven. Proprietor Bill Klapper is going through the same thing today. Hall's Bakery was running out at 11 a.m. and frantically making more bread for the anticipated afternoon rush. Jeanne Sanders, a harried bakery girl, told the GAZETTE that the store ran out of bread at 4:30 yesterday afternoon and expects to run out again today, despite the fact that the store has increased production. She said the supply ran out once this morning. Everything was "terrible" at Van de Kamp's Bakery, a sales lady said this morning. "We're swamped, we're so busy. They started to line up outside our door before we opened, at 8:30 a.m. We're rationing the bread the best we can. One loaf to a customer." The sales lady said the store sold out at noon yesterday and was selling out just as fast today. The woman couldn't estimate how much bread was delivered to the store this morning. "All I know is, it's all over the place," she said. At the New Boston Bakery, a woman who answered the phone, said breatlessly: "Come up and find out how we're doing. There are about 20 people waiting right now. I'm sorry, I have to hang up." (For those who have found it impossible to buy bread today and for those who prefer to stick to their kneading, the GAZETTE is printing a bread recipe elsewhere on this page.) Merchants Plan Buy in Anaheim Nation at Glance Flying Discs, This Time at Hamilton Field By The Associated Press OAKLAND—The Oakland Tribune said a "disc shaped object," roaring at an estimated speed of 1000 to 1500 miles an hour, made five passes near Hamilton Air Force base early today. The newspaper quoted three Air Force non-commissioned officers who said the flying saucer, shooting blue flame and with a "roar like thunder" dived near a beacon just north of the field. Hamilton field is in Marin county about 25 miles north of San Francisco. Corp. Roger-G. Pryor, a control tower operator, said he saw a blue flame shooting out as the saucer flashed by from the southwest and headed northeast. "I thought it was a falling star," the Tribune quoted Pryor. "But it didn't fall. It just kept on going." Pryor said the first pass was at 1:35 a.m., and the object traveled so fast he couldn't see subsequent approaches. The Tribune said Pryor's observation was verified by Staff Sgt. Ellis R. Lorimer, another control tower operator, and Staff Sgt. Virgil Cappuro, member of the airways communications staff. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va.—Governors-sidestepped today the controversial question of whether to endorse the State Department and its administration under Secretary Acheson. A governors' conference discussed the subject but skipped any mention of the State Department in drafting a list of proposed resolutions dealing largely with state problems. Some Democrats wanted an endorsement of Acheson but did not press for it because of prospective opposition. Since any single governor can veto adoption of a resolution, under the conference's rules, it was felt that if a fight developed and a resolution were rejected the action might be misunderstood abroad. COLUMBUUS, O. — A lot of Merchants Plan Buy in Anaheim Promotion Here A long range proposal to sell advantages or shopping in Anaheim to residents of the surrounding territory highlighted a noon time meeting of the Retail Merchant's division of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce held today at the Mother Colony restaurant. Presented by Al Garey, prominent furniture dealer, the plan would emphasize the off street parking, savings in time and money and quality merchandise available to shoppers here. The cooperative effort would utilize a special slogan and insignia, newspaper feature stories and advertising, billboards and window cards as chief media. The group voted to remain open on Monday, July 3, and heard reports on off-street parking and bad check passing by Ernest West and Ernest Moeller, manager of the Chamber of Commerce. In regard to the former, it was suggested that special signs directing motorists to off-street parking be prominently posted in city streets. Walter Swanberger, owner of Swanberger's mens store and newly elected president of the group, presided over the meeting, attended by approximately 40 of the city's merchants. the State Department in drafting a list of proposed resolutions dealing largely with state problems.
