AUHS Traveling Teacher Leaves Tomorrow for European Tour Chester Shirk, AUHS math and physics professor is a widely traveled man. He will be even more widely traveled by the time this summer has run its course. Shirk leaves by plane tomorrow for New York where he will meet with the 19 members of World Travel Bureau Tour 103 whom he will conduct on a 47-day tour through Europe during the coming weeks. The group, which includes Miss Marie Heffern of Anaheim, takes off for London via American Overseas Airlines on July 2. The schedule calls for four days in London. Next on the list is Stratford-on-Avon. Then it's off to Paris, via Calais, for a five-day tour of the Queen of Cities and her environs. Leaving Paris, the travelers continue south on their grand Greece tour to Avignon and thence along the Riviera to Nice. Crossing into Italy, Shirk leads his group through Genoa and Pisa to Rome. A five-day stopover in Rome leads to an excursion southward to Sorrento, Capri and Naples. Turning north, the group visits Florence, Venice, Milan passing thence into Switzerland. Waypoints in the Alpine country include Geneva, Montreux, Interlaken and Lucerne. From Lucerne, some of the members of the group take a side-trip to Oberammergau to witness the renowned passion play. Culmination of the summer's travels is scheduled at Amster- being staged by the World Travel Bureau of Santa Ana. Condoctor Shirk began his worldwide travels in 1930 when he spent three monts in Europe and the Mediterranean area with his father. Their itinerary included Greece, Turkey, Palestine and Egypt. In 1931 he turned in the other direction and made his way to the Far East via Honorulu and the Philippines. The jaunt took him to Japan, China, Korea and ultimately to Manchuria where he witnessed the Jap invasion which touched off the war between China and Japan. Not deterred by hostilities, Shirk went again to China in 1932. Conducting a vagabond tour with a group of 10 boys and Dr. William G. Campbell of USC the Anaheim traveler and his companion made the south China Coast but were barred from going north by the war. In 1937 Shirk accompanied this time by his wife, journeyed again to the seething Orient. The trip halted abruptly in Shanghai when the Japs attacked the city in August. The Shirks and their party retreated to a Yangtze boat where uncooperative Jap soldiers and a typhoon kept time from hanging heavy on their hands. On their return trip to Seattle, they were billed as the first refugees to return from the Chinese war. Shirk still has front lines, with the main props for the American economy still the high rate of American national income and consumer spending. Trying to look beyond the gyrations of the next few days in the futures markets, observers sought Turning north, the group visits Florence, Venice, Milan passing thence into Switzerland. Waypoints in the Alpine country include Geneva, Montreux, Interlaken and Lucerne. From Lucerne, some of the members of the group take a side-trip to Oberammergau to witness the renowned passion play. Culmination of the summer's travels is scheduled at Amsterdam, from which point the sightseers take excursions to Volendam and the picturesque Island of Maarken. The travelers leave Amsterdam by plane for the U. S. A. on August 16. Arrival in New York is scheduled for the 17th. During the trip Shirk will serve as guide, business manager and general overseer for his charges. His particular tour is one of three ‘Miss Anaheim’ Entries Due This Friday (Continued from Page One) Next step is the County Fair contest on the 16th of August. Entrants, the winners of various sectional contests, will match charm and personality for the Orange County Queen's crown. The contest runs concurrently with a grand flower and fashion show. Beauty scouts are expected in droves. Upon selection of the queen, all contestants automatically assume the role of princesses. After the fair? Who knows? The movies? Television? The stage? All are more than mere possibilities. It all starts with Junior Chamber’s Miss Anaheim contest. Girls 17-25 are eligible. Contestants will appear before judges in both street dress and bathing suit. A group of impartial judges will do the deciding. Remember—Friday, June 30, is the deadline. FLOHRA'S DAMAGE SUIT GOES BEFORE JURY Lewis E. Flohra's $21,844 damage suit gainst George Easton, of Anaheim, and his employer, the Yorba Linda Orange Growers assn., for injuries received in a traffic crash on Placentia-Yorba rd., March 25, 1949, went before a jury in Superior Court for trial today. Flohra, employee of the Tustin Pipe and Cement co., was driving a truck which collided with an airplane time by his wife, journeyed again to the seething Orient. The trip halted abruptly in Shanghai when the Japs attacked the city in August. The Shirks and their party retreated to a Yangtze boat where uncooperative Jap soldiers and a typhoon kept time from hanging heavy on their hands. On their return trip to Seattle, they were billed as the first refugees to return from the Chinese war. Shirk still has front page clippings which tell of the event. Shirk's last trip abroad was sponsored by Uncle Sam. As a naval officer, the Anaheim teacher served in the South Pacific area and reached Shankhai before returning to the United States. The trip this summer will take Shirk to European areas which he has somehow missed in his extensive travels. Club Faces New Storm (Continued from Page One) rested in a raid by Police Chief Howard of Seal Beach June 12, does not mean that the club will be permitted to resume its bingo games unmolested by the law. That was the word today from Sheriff James A Musick. “If they try to reopen the bingo game, we certainly will arrest them as quickly as we can obtain evidence of a payoff,” said the sheriff. Musick added that he was not surprised by dismissal of the charge against Jenkins because the raid had been made without first obtaining evidence of illegal payoff. The new club, which also operates draw poker, a legal gambling game under the state law, had been open four nights when Seal Beach police made their aid. But when Chief Howard got into Justice C. P. Pann's court at Huntington Beach yesterday for Jenkins' hearing, he had no evidence of a bingo payoff, and the court dismissed the case for lack of proof. The club had been operating its bingo game ostensibly without payoff, patrons purchasing merchandise cards for ten cents, permitting them to play bingo, each receiving stamps which, when accumulated sufficiently, entitled them to merchandise items of various sorts. ENTRIES SOUGHT FOR MODEL AIRPLANE MEET War News Upsets Business Scene (Continued from Page One) lines, with the main props for the American economy still the highest rate of American national income and consumer spending. Trying to look beyond the gyrations of the next few days in the futures markets, observers sought to appraise the long-term trend in commodity prices. War nerves sent rubber and then soaring price wise when the recession moved south in Korea. Peppard also took an upward jump. The three commodities come larger from Southeast Asia, directly to the path of any hot war. But observers note offsetting conditions. The United States has a stockpile of secret proportion of both rubber and tin. In last war the government developed a sizeable synthetic rubber industry here, and brought much tin from Bolivia. Businessmen, both here and Europe, apparently rushed Monday to order rubber and tin again; any possible shortage due to war scare. But a shooting would not threaten as complete strangulation of these essentials as the Japs achieved last time. Almost all of the business dicators are rising or still high. But a few signs of a slowdown are reported. A washing machine factory lays off its second shift as sales drop. Television set sales go into the expected summum slump. Farm income is running behind last year, although prices have been rising in recent weeks. But most of today's news points other way. Employment is and basic industries are booming. Soft goods industries are stirring. The war scare will have toughened up these right away. A warming of the cold war usually stimulates some part of industry. Congress loosens up the purse strings by defense or foreign aid. Consumers buy goods they fear may go out production. But a shooting would be another thing altogether and could quickly take all strength out of the present boomlet. Retail sales in general have perked up in recent weeks, suggesting ahead of last year in many sections. Against all this good news... FLOHRA'S DAMAGE SUIT GOES BEFORE JURY Lewis E. Flohra's $21,844 damage suit gainst George Easton, of Anaheim, and his employer, the Yorba Linda Orange Growers assn., for injuries received in a traffic crash on Placentia-Yorba rd., March 25, 1949, went before a jury in Superior Court for trial today. Flohra, employee of the Tustin Pipe and Cement co., was driving a truck which collided with an auto driven by Easton which emerged from a private road. Florah's car also collided with a school bus. The case is being tried in Judge Robert Gardner's court. ENTRIES SOUGHT FOR MODEL AIRPLANE MEET Anaheim area model plane enthusiasts intending to enter the Southern California Plymouth Model Plane Meet, Los Angeles, July 8 and 9, were advised today that full information and entry blanks can be obtained from Dunn Motor Co., 249 N. Los Angeles, Robert H. Boney, 328 W. Center st., Middleton Motor Sales, 420 W. Center st.

Events are scheduled for all types of model planes including control line, free flight gas and rubber, and indoor models. Nostradamus predicted correctly in his almanac the death of France's Henry II causing the successor king, Henry III, to forbid political prognostications.

U.S. Planes Fight Reds in Korea (Continued from Page One) LAKE SUCCESS—Soviet and United States delegates to the United Nations Security Council met at a secret luncheon today just before the council convened to consider action to stop the Korean conflict. The meeting was arranged by Secretary General Trygve Lie at an undisclosed Long Island residence. Russia was represented by Deputy Foreign Minister Jakob A. Malik, who has been boycotting all council meetings since last January in protest against the presence of nationalist Chinese delegates. Ambassador Ernest A. Gross attended for the United States. TOKYO. Wednesday, June 28—Decision to send American-manned bombers to drive the invading communists out of South Korea and appointment of an American general to command a "joint defense operation" were reported today. (This report was confirmed later by announcement in Washington that President Truman had ordered American planes and warships to aid South Korea.) An authentic source said American planes tonight would begin bombing all towns captured by the North Koreans, who invaded South Korea Sunday. Early today a Seoul broadcast quoted President Syngman Rhee as announcing "General Church" has been named to command a "joint defense operation" and General MacArthur has promised the South Koreans bombers and anti-tank guns.

The Republicans will seek cut the bill into halves, separate votes on each half. CLEVELAND (AP)—The Raymond A.

Observers note offsetting cons. The United States has apile, of secret proportions, with rubber and tin.

But a shooting war will be another thing altogether, could quickly take all the worth out of the present boom. 500 U.S. Planes And 18 Ships In Far Pacific WASHINGTON (P)—The United States had 500-plus Air Force planes and 18 warships in the Far Pacific. U. S. military manpower there totals 123,500. Defense department officials supplied the figures today. The Air Force says it has six fighter groups, one medium bomber group and two light bomber squadrons ready for action. The fighters include five groups equipped with 75 planes each, including F-80 Shooting Star jets and F-51 Mustangs. There is one group of 30 B-29 superfortress medium bombers on Guam. The sixth fighter group is an allweather unit, 85' 30-odd planes equipped with radar for operations at night and in bad weather. This group uses F-82 Mustang twin piston engine planes. The two light bomb squadrons have 16 B-26 Douglas invader planes each. In addition there is one troop carrier group with 33 C-54 transport planes, a few weather reconnaissance and tactical reconnaissance, and a few air rescue planes. All of the units are included in the U. S. Far Eastern Air Force, which embraces Japan, Okinawa, Guam and the Philippines. The U. S. Seventh Fleet, commanded by Vice Adm. Arthur D. Struble, is based in the Philippines-Guam area. It consists of 13 combat vessels, including the 27,000-ton aircraft carrier Valley Forge. The fleet also has the heavy cruiser Rochester, six destroyers, two escort destroyers, three submarines, a high speed transport, a tanker and a seaplane tender. Other U.

FULLERTON SCHOOL CANNERY ANNOUNCES JULY SCHEDULE The Fullerton school-community cannery will be open for canning fruit Wednesday, July 5, 12:30; beans Wednesday, July 5 at 5:30. An authentic source said American planes tonight would begin bombing all towns captured by the North Koreans, who invaded South Korea Sunday. Early today a Seoul broadcast quoted President Syngman Rhee as announcing "General Church" has been named to command a "joint defense operation" and General MacArthur has promised the South Koreans bombers and anti-tank guns. The General Church referred to was apparently Brig. Gen. John H. Church, listed at Occupation headquarters as commander of the Okinawa Military government. U. S. Planes in Action Already General MacArthur had confirmed that American fighter planes shot down four Russian-made North Korean planes which tried to interfere with the air evacuation of American women and children from South Korea. This fight with the Russian-made Yak fighters was over Seoul's Kimpo airfield, where the American fighters were providing protective covers for transports. A series of broadcasts from Seoul, capital of the American-sponsored Southern republic, said American ground troops also would join the battle against the reds and that a MacArthur field headquarters would be established. This was not confirmed. Col. M. P. Echols, General MacArthur's public information officer, said he knew nothing about it. General MacArthur's summary of the fast-breaking Korean situation said that contrary to previous reports, the American Embassy and Military Advisory staffs had not left Seoul. It said the South Korean government also appeared not to have left and, "tanks reported in the suburbs of Seoul appear to have been isolated forays." The South Korean ground forces, after having been rocked back on their heels, also appeared to have made a marked improvement. Korean sources said the defenders in a furious counterattack had pushed the invading Russian-trained reds back 20 miles north of Seoul. Recapture of strategic Uijongbu, 12 miles north of Seoul, also was reported. This was partly confirmed by two Korean newspapers in direct telephone conversation with Tokyo.
