Nation at Glance World at Glance Labor at Glance Nation at Glance Congress Gives The Draft Law 15 Days More By The Associated Press BULLETIN WASHINGTON (UP)—The Senate voted a three-year extension of the peacetime draft law today after batting down all moves to put in a race segregation clause for the Armed Services. WASHINGTON — Congress today voted a stop-gap, 15-day extension of the draft law, due to expire at midnight tomorrow. House approval sent on to President Truman a resolution the Senate had adopted earlier in the day. The 15-day extension is to give time for Congress to work out changes in the present law and enact a longer extension. WASHINGTON—President Truman said today the country can not pay for a 70 group Air Force. The president made this observation at a news conference in commenting on pending legislation in Congress to authorize that strength for the air arm. Mr. Truman said it didn't make any difference how many air groups were authorized—that the question was how many the budget would allow. The legislation in Congress does not say that the Air Force should have 70 groups. It merely sets that as the ceiling for air strength. The actual size of the Air Force, under the bill, would depend on how much money Congress appropriated for it. Actually, the "group" is a highly variable and indefinite term. It varies with the type of planes, at present ranging from 30 bombers to 75 fighters. The Air Force now has about 48 first line groups. World at Glance Dulles Says Red 'Captives' Can't Fight Now By The Associated Press TOYKO — John Foster Dulles said today the "captive world" of communism is too weak to seek war now with the free world. The Republican adviser to the State Department told the American Chamber of Commerce the immediate danger to free countries is that they may be taken over from within by small, disciplined communist minorities. Dulles' address came amid these other rapid-fire developments involving the United States' position in troubled Asia: (1) General MacArthur and Dulles conferred for 90 minutes. It was learned they were in virtually complete agreement on necessity for prompt American aid for Red-threatened Formosa and the need for a peace treaty with Japan. (2) MacArthur, it also was learned, was pleased with the outcome of his conference Monday with Defense Secretary Johnson and General Omar Bradley, chairman of the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. MacArthur advocated sending U. S. military equipment to the Chinese Nationalists on Formosa to be administered by an American military mission. He maintained that American positions on nearby Okinawa and the Philippines would be threatened if the Chinese reds took Formosa. (3) Johnson and Bradley flew to Okinawa today to inspect that battle-famed island which has been converted into an air base since it was wrested from the Japanese. The Americans, MacArthur said, are going to be on this strategic spot between Japan and Formosa "for a long time." Labor at Glance Rail Tie-Up Is Likely; Bakers Remain Struck By The Associated Press The nation again faced the threat of a general railroad tieup today. AFL switchmen have called strike for Sunday against five big Western and Midwestern lines. Carriers said the threatened walkout July 15 by two other unions would make the rail paralysis nationwide. The three unions ratified rail roads yesterday they were rejecting wage and hour recommendations made by a presidential fact-finding board. The switchmen, who have met requirement of the Railway Labor act, set their strike to begin at 6 a.m., local time Sunday. The roads to be struck then are Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Great Northern, Chicago Great Western, Denver and Rio Grande Western and the Western Pacific. The trainmen and conductors unions are restrained from striking until July 15 by the law's 30-day "cooling off" section. They will meet in Chicago July 10 to consider future action. AFL transit workers returned to their street cars and buses in Los Angeles yesterday with an immediate five-cent hourly wage increase and an additional three cents a year from now. There were no breaks in the strikes of bakers in five West Coast cities, milk drivers in Pittsburgh, and editorial workers of the New York World Telegram and Sun. Vandals Pot Window, Car Vandals with a flowerpot fixation ran wild Tuesday night with the result that one Anaheim resident has a bashed auto fender and another has a broken window. First notice of the malicious mischief came at 10:30 at night when Harold J. Mahoney, 816 N. Helena, reported that some one in a passing automobile had thrown a flower pot through the window of his home. At 1:30 in the morning, Police Officers Mark Fisher and R. E. Hamlyn reported that a flower pot had been thrown against the side of an automobile parked at 751½ N. Lemon, home of Adrian Dunkin. At 5:45 Fisher and Hamlyn discovered smashed flower pots at three intersections, Clementine and North, Clementine and Wilhelmina and Clementine and La Verne. American military mission.

NEW YORK—Most Czechoslovakians hate their present communist masters but the outside world will have to lift the red yoke from the Czech neck if they are to be freed. So concludes New York Times correspondent Dana Adams Schmidt in a series of dispatches written from Vienna after he fled from Prague recently to escape possible arrest in a spy roundup. The country, Schmidt continues, is in much the same state of subjection as it was under the Nazis. But the communist police state is more complete and affects individual lives more. BUDAPEST—Hungary's Roman Catholic bench of bishops has asked for an official review of "church questions" in a step interpreted as a surrender of the church's long resistance to the government. The fact that the government itself announced the church move officially last night indicates that the government will accept it as a surrender, demand that the bishops take an oath of allegiance to Hungary's constitution, and instruct its clergy to sign the "Stockholm peace petitions." PARIS — Delegates from six European nations studied French proposals today for a European parliament to control their coal and steel production. The white oak is Maryland's official state tree. It Pays to Eat At the Anaheim Appliance Shop Twelve loaves of piping hot bread, 24 lbs. of baked ham and a chuck roast were among savory items served up free of charge this noon to 50 members of the Fidelus class of the White Temple Methodist church at a special demonstration luncheon at Anaheim Appliances. And—not only is the luncheon without cost, but the store is presenting visiting groups with 25 cents per person to donate to their prime charity. Held in the store's new and modern auditorium, the luncheon was one in a series of similar affairs being offered local clubs and organizations. Other groups who already have attended similar demonstrations include the La Habra Home department and the Welcome Bible class of Buena Park Congregational church. Chef Ernie Miehle of Chambers ranges, assisted by Joe Schuman, manager of the appliance store, present the luncheon. In addition to his current demonstration series, Schuman has indicated he also plans to commence a series of free sewing classes in the store auditorium and urges anyone interested to contact him in regard to the matter.

Temple May Go To Long Beach LOS ANGELES (AP) — The 16-Year-Old Local R.C. Convention Delegate Leaves Ernest Huenemeyer, 311 N. Pi Deserted Boy Finds Father Jailed as Drunk Yesterday afternoon Ronnie Miller's father left him at the City Park plunge with the promise to meet him half an hour later. Ronnie, 10 year old visitor from Nebraska, was waiting at the appointed time, but the two didn't get together again until this morning. The reason: Ronnie's father, Dorsey Victor Miller, 37, was found under a tree in the park and spent the night in the Anaheim jail charged with drunkenness. The boy spent most of the night wandering around Anaheim in search of his parent. Officer Mark Fisher brought Ronnie to the station at midnight last night when he discovered the youngster's plight at a local restaurant. Questioning by police revealed that the boy and his father have spent the past two weeks visiting in Pomona. They were on their way to Santa Ana yesterday when they decided to stop at City Park. On learning Miller's identity, Police checked and found that the man had been arrested on two previous occasions for drunkenness in Anaheim. Ronnie spent the remainder of the evening at the Orange County Juvenile home. This morning he rejoined his father. The elder Miller was released on payment of fine. He was instructed to leave the city for good.

Not Inevitable Acheson despite Red ‘Ambitions’ U. S. on Threshold of Peace With Strength as Our Shield CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP)—Secretary of State Acheson declared today the United States and its allies “are on the threshold of a new period” in their quest for peace. Despite the obstacle posed by the “inordinate ambition” of Soviet leaders, he said, war is not inevitable. “We are building our strength,” Acheson said in a speech prepared for the Harvard University Alumni Association, “in order that we may eliminate the conditions which would give rise to war, and we are on the threshold of a new period in the successful forward movement of this effort. “We face this new period with confidence, but we must be very clear in our minds of our pur- Always Drive Carefully Insured or Not Insured? That Is the Question Despite the obstacle posed by the "inordinate ambition" of Soviet leaders, he said, war is not inevitable. "We are building our strength," Acheson said in a speech prepared for the Harvard University Alumni Association, "in order that we may eliminate the conditions which would give rise to war, and we are on the threshold of a new period in the successful forward movement of this effort." "We face this new period with confidence, but we must be very clear in our minds of our purposes in times that lie ahead." Declaring that it is "the determined purpose of this country, and of the like minded nations working with us, to prevent war," Acheson asserted: Arm for Peace "We do not arm for purposes of conquest. Our strength is a shield, whose purpose is two-fold." First, our strength is essential to a progressive and successful resolution of the difficulties which today beset the international community. "The second purpose of our strength is to enable us to carry ahead a creative relationship with the other nations of the free world." He said that "democracy is a dynamic idea in the world," and added: "Both the North Atlantic community and the community of the American states are institutions founded on principles which must eventually prevail." These principles, he said, include the cooperative association of nations, individual liberty, mutual aid, self-help and "the responsibility of aiding other free peoples to achieve their own development in their own way." The secretary spoke on the third anniversary of the day on which his predecessor, Gen. George C. Marshall, proposed the European Recovery Plan that bears his name—also in a speech at Harvard. Acheson said that while strength may not be essential to a settlement of the world problems, it "is not a substitute for discussion and accommodation." And he expressed hope that a healthy European community will be the determining (Continued on Page 7) Always Drive Carefully Insured or Not Insured? That Is the Question Lyle D. Guipre, young Newport Beach police officer, has been busy in Superior Court, Santa Ana, this week trying to prove that he had insurance coverage two years ago, when, while in the Marine Corps, he became involved in a traffic accident with his brand new car. A $5277 damage judgement obtained against Guipre as a result of the accident is the pressing motive behind his suit to compel payment by a group of insurance carriers and agents, who deny that any policy had been issued to him. Included as defendants are D. E. Morris, Anaheim; Republic Indemnity co., and Kurt Hitke co., inc.; its Los Angeles agency; and United Insurers. The trial has been in progress since Tuesday before Superior Judge Franklin West, with frequent and extended arguments over attempts to introduce testimony. Only two witnesses have been examined up to Wednesday evening's recess. Guipre's counsel contends that when he purchased a car February 7, 1948, he obtained a bank loan which requires insurance coverage. He contacted a Santa Ana firm which was unable to provide insurance and referred the case to Mr. Morris, who in turn was said to have contacted the Los Angeles agency. On the basis of telephone assurance that the policy would be issued, the bank granted the loan, it was asserted. A week later, Guipre was involved in the accident which resulted in $1000 damages to his own car, he claims, besides the damage awards against him.

Always Drive Carefully Death Pact Aids Three Children Orphaned by Car SAN DIEGO (UP)—Several years ago two couples made a pact to guard against unforeseen tragedy ... if death overtook either pair, the other couple would care for their children. Today one of the couples sadly prepared to carry out terms of this agreement. Sadly and lovingly. Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. B. Price, Jr., of Walnut Creek, this weekend will take to their home the three orphaned children of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. George. Mrs. Price is Mr. George's sister. Lynne, 8; David, 6, and Brian, 21 months old, were being cared for by a baby-sitter Sunday night when their parents, driving to a dinner engagement, were instantly killed in a head-on collision with a wildly careening car on Highway 80 near suburban La Mesa. Not until last night were Lynne and David told that they would never see their parents again, and that they would soon be moving to a new home, where they will join Mr. and Mrs. Price's six-month old baby. Little Brian, too young to comprehend the tragedy, will at best have only a vague memory of his parents.
