VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHE U.S. Bomber and Fig Pittsburgh Firm To Build Plant On Anaheim Site The Neville company, nationally-known manufacturers of synthetic resins and paint solvents, will immediately begin construction of a large industrial plant north of Commercial on land extending from Patt st., to the Union Pacific tracks, according to an announcement made today by E. W. Moeller, manager of the Chamber of Commerce. Anaheim was selected after an extensive survey of the entire Pacific coast area. The future plant site is located on more than 12 acres of orange property formerly owned by Freida Janss, Anaheim pioneer resident. Truman Gets Bi-Partisan Support In Congress on Action in Korea WASHINGTON—(P)—Congressional leaders swung quickly behind President Truman’s action today in drawing a line against communist advances in the Far Pacific and ordering air and sea support for South Korea. Senator Knowland (R-Calif), who has criticized what he termed confused administration policies in the Far East, said today: “The president should have the support of all Americans in this policy. “It is obvious that if the free world is to defend itself against aggressive communism, it must take a stand on a definite line in the Orient.” Knowland said Mr. Truman has authority to send arms to Korea under the terms of the foreign air bill passed by Congress last year—and under the terms of a $75,000,000 fund for use in the China area already authorized by Congress. Senator Millikin of Colorado, chairman of the conference of all Republican Senators which agreed yesterday the United States must not allow the Korea fighting to involve it in war, supported the president’s move. “The conference took its action because there was no line drawn in the Pacific.” Millikin said. Anaheim was selected after an extensive survey of the entire Pacific coast area. The future plant site is located on more than 12 acres of orange property formerly owned by Freida Janss, Anaheim pioneer resident. A large, long-established firm whose headquarters are located on Neville Island in Pittsburgh, Pa., the Neville company will erect part of the plant here immediately and the remainder within a year. In addition to constructing the main plant, the company will take a spur track off the Union Pacific and erect a tank farm similar to General Electric's. Construction plans are being drawn up for the new building, according to W. S. Gardiner, executive vice-president. Robert Ulrich serves as west coast manager for the firm and will have direct supervision over Anaheim's plant. In commenting on the firm's decision to locate here, Moeller pointed out that, "the Neville company is very welcome here. They bring no sewer or air pollution problem with them and are a fine addition to the city's industry." He added that the Chamber of Commerce originally invited them to locate here. New Quarters on Toastmaster Card "Readjustment of Problems Facing Toastmaster Clubs of This Area" was the table topic considered by Anaheim Toastmasters last night at the Mother Colony house, and readjustment is in store as last night's meeting was the last group will stage at the Center street restaurant. With the problem of moving imminent, the call is out to all club members to attend the next meeting, July 10, at the home of John Knutzen. Where to hold future meetings will be the main topic at the potluck affair. There will be no meeting next Monday. Ed Wright won the Optimist cup last night with a speech entitled, "How Neighborly Should We Be?" Other speakers were John Knutzen, "Make Use of the 24 Hours of the Day," and C. J. Stillson. "It is obvious that if the free world is to defend itself against aggressive communism, it must take a stand on a definite line in the Orient." Knowland said Mr. Truman has authority to send arms to Korea under the terms of the foreign air bill passed by Congress last year—and under the terms of a $75,000,000 fund for use in the China area already authorized by Congress. Senator Millikin of Colorado, chairman of the conference of all Republican Senators which agreed yesterday the United States must not allow the Korea fighting to involve it in war, supported the president's move. "The conference took its action because there was no line drawn in the Pacific," Millikin said. "It has urged that such a line be drawn. Once having drawn the line there is no alternative but to support it with all necessary means." Republicans and Democrats alike said they hoped the Congress and the American people would stand behind the president's decision. All the differences that had divided political parties seemed to have dissolved. Rep. Rankin (D-Miss) cautioned against "depending upon a bunch of foreigners who haven't enough sense to run their own affairs. Rep. Hugh D. Scott (R-Pa), former chairman of the Republican national committee, said: “If we are headed toward war, let us have the courage to say so, and let Congress stay in session and vote the necessary funds to prosecute a war.” Applications for 'Miss Anaheim' Beauty Contest Due This Friday Local lovelies intent on entering the 1950 Miss Anaheim Contest had better get on their pretty little horses and ride right over to the Chamber of Commerce office for application blanks. The contest, which will determine the City's fairest, and, incidentally, the Anaheim delegate to the Orange County Fair finals, is scheduled for July 4 at the City Park Greek theatre. The deadline for filing applications is June 30. That's this coming Friday. As the first step in her beauty career, Anaheim's queen will resign supreme at the Greek Theatre program. Sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the 6 p.m., affair will feature court entertainers in the form of Richards-Martin dancers, Sybil Ring majorettes and the Val Moore Polynesian dance specialists.

Baiza in suit against Richard M. Baiza. She said they married Oct. 27, 1947 at Tijuana. Club Weathers One Storm, Now Faces Sheriff HUNTINGTON BEACH (AP)—Bingo isn't a lottery, so the new Airport club can reopen. That was the gist today of a decision by City Judge Chris Pannn who dismissed charges against the new Seal Beach establishment, raided June 12, a few nights after its opening. Seal Beach Police Chief Lee Howard arrested Leslie Jenkins, 46, on a lottery charge. Howard said an investigator paid 10 cents for a merchandise stamp giving him the option of a free bingo game. The defense argued that state laws banning a lottery require that the player "puts out valuable consideration for a chance to participate." The judge ruled that the merchandise stamp gives the player value received for his dime.

B'way: "Being a Navy man for 30 years, I approve of it. History has shown that sooner or later we'll have to fight. If it has to be done, let's do it now. Let's keep it away from Alaska and our own country." BOB BRECKENRIDGE, 31, Yorba Linda: "If it's necessary to use these methods to stop aggression let's use them. I have a wife and two children and I was in the Navy four years during the last war. But with the chips down, I'm ready to go." PAUL YORDE, Route 2, Anaheim: "As long as we have to stop them, we ought to stop them now. This could be the start of a war. But if it has to be, it has to be. I'd hate to see it and I'd hate to see my son go some day. But that's part of our duty."

DON SLOAN, of Fullerton: "I think we should stay out of this as long as we can and try to use some other method to keep peace. There's always fighting over there, anyway.

Action Over Korea American Naval Units Also Rushed to Asiatic Scene EXTRA WASHINGTON—(AP)—The House voted overwhelmingly today to extend the Draft Law for another year and give President Truman new power to order the National Guard and all reserves to immediate active duty. The vote was 314 to 4. Spurred by developments in the Far East, it sped the bill to the Senate two days ahead of schedule as reports reached the floor that U. S. warplanes already were bombing North Korean tanks. TOKYO, Wednesday, June 28—(AP)—American planes are in action against the communist invaders of South Korea, General MacArthur announced today.

The U.S. Navy also is on combat missions, he said. The terse announcement from the American general's headquarters said: "The Far East Air Forces and Naval elements of the Far East Command are conducting combat missions south of the 38th Parallel of Korea in support of the Korean republic. "Ammunition and supplies are being air and waterlifted to Korea to aid the South Korean forces. "A small advance echelon of GHQ has been established in Korea." The MacArthur announcement gave no particulars of this almost instant implementation of President Truman's orders to stem the communist aggressor. A little earlier, however, a broadcast from the South Korean capital of Seoul said American planes already were attacking the invading North Korea tanks. It was made in the name of President Syngman Rhee. By Associated Press WASHINGTON—Key points in the Far Pacific policy announced today by President Truman: 1. U.S. air and sea forces to give the Korean government troops cover and support. 2. The 7th fleet to prevent any attack on Formosa. 3. The Chinese government on Formosa to cease all air and sea operations against the mainland. 4. U.S. forces in the Philippines to be strengthened and military aid speeded up. 5. Military aid for France and the associates states in Indo-China to be stepped up and a military mission to be sent to work with the Indo-China forces. 6. The United States will continue to uphold the rule of law. WASHINGTON—President Truman orders United States planes and warships to aid South Korean forces; in broad policy of firmness in Far Pacific, president directs fleet to intervene against any communist invasion of Formosa, orders increased aid to Philippines, Indochina, but asks Chiang Kai-Shek to cease attacks on Chinese mainland.

Whether commodities would hold, over the long-run, the price mark-ups accompanying the war scare. 2. Whether a fresh spurt in U.S. government spending is in store—for defense, for foreign aid, for stockpiling—with the inflationary boost for business which such spending carries with it. 3. And whether such a step-up in spending will also mean an offsetting boost in taxes. The accent in the business world is still on the "if" in the situation. If the war jumps beyond the borders of Korea, few business Instent Truman's Policy Toward Korea DON SLOAN, of FullerI think we should stay out as long as we can and use some other methods to peace.

If we don't stop them in the beginning and they get a good start, we'll pay for it later. And if we don't stop them over there, they'll come over here." NORBERT De COCK, 1416 W.

I'm an Anaheim police officer but I'm willing to work for Uncle Sam."
