VOLUME·LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANA Korean Capital City Approves Tentative Maps for 235 More Lots Tentative maps for four subdivisions, involving a total of 235 new lots, were ok'd by the City Council last night. Subdivisions were the main feature at the brief two-and-one-half hour session. Most extensive map considered last night calls for 108 lots. Subdivider Henry Cox plans houses 1100 feet in area bordered by Water, South, Palm and Citron streets. Next largest of the prospective subdivisions contemplates creation of 60 lots bordering on Los Angeles st., south of Vermont.

(Continued on page 5) Recreation Budget Granted Approval Anaheim's enlarged recreation program, sponsored jointly by the Recreation Department, the high school district and the elementary school district, was given final approval last night as City Councilmen O.K.'d the 1950-51 budget. As approved, the budget calls for an outlay of $15,000 during the next year. This is a 50 per cent increase over the $10,000 granted for recreation purposes last year. It is some $3000 less than the amount requested. The increased budget will permit expansion of recreation activities as much as 75 to 100 per cent over last year. City Recreation Director Don Derr said this morning. City recreation authorities are currently engaged in carrying out the largest summertime program in history. Some 700 Anaheimers are scheduled to participate in the wide variety of activities. In September, the after-school, week-end and holiday fall program goes into effect on a grander scale than heretofore known. In past years, only the Broadway Council Okays Magnolia Trunk Legal Advisors Proposed legal advisers for the Magnolia Trunk construction bond issue received Anaheim approval as City Councilmen passed on the appointment of the law firm of O'Melveny and Meyers last night. As read, the resolution calls for the employment of the lawyers on all legal matters which arise concerning the coming bond issue. Proposed fee is three-tenths of one per cent of Anaheim's share of construction costs for the sewage disposal project, or an alternative minimum fee of $400. During last night's session, Councilmen also: Accepted a petition for annexation which would bring 7½ acres on East North st. in the city. The petition was signed by Emilian Klaus and Celia E. Klaus, 914 North Placentia ave., and Paul R. and Mrs. Betty Roberts, 14142 East North st. Passed a resolution which would halt the practice of laying out water pipe in areas being developed and then watching pipe go fully or partially unused when calculated need fell below expectations. Provided, with the same resolution, that first users of water mains on undedicated streets will pay on a facility-to-facility basis instead of on a front footage basis as has been the case up to now. Held over a resolution that subdividers submitting tentative maps pay a filing fee of $50 a map and $1 for each lot to cover cost of time spent examining and approving projects by city engineers. Added, by grant deed, approximately nine feet to the boundaries of the land bought from the city by Real Gold, thus correcting a previous surveying error.

City recreation authorities are currently engaged in carrying out the largest summertime program in history. Some 700 Anaheimers are scheduled to participate in the wide variety of activities. In September, the after-school, week-end and holiday fall program goes into effect on a grander scale than heretofore known. In past years, only the Broadway school play ground catered to after-school recreation seekers. As of this year, facilities will also include those at Benjamin Franklin and Horace Mann schools. The City Park program is also in for expansion, Derr said. Previously the area was open for recreation only on Saturdays. The Fremont junior high school gym and the high school gym are also on the 1950-51 list. Personnel additions are slated to include part time supervisors for the recreation areas newly pressed into service. One person is specially assigned to the outlying districts. Average operation costs will run $1000 per month this year, Derr said, as contrasted with the $650 average of last year. According to the Recreation Director's figures, the monetary boost to recreation goes principally toward supplies. Salaries of present personnel remain the same. ANAHEIM CENSUS If you have wondered why representatives of the Anaheim Gazette have called you on the telephone or stopped you on the streets to quiz you on the census, you'll find the answers on Page 4. The Gazette simply posed these questions: "Were you missed in the Census Bureau count? Do you know of anyone, anywhere who was missed in the count?" See Gazette's conclusion about the recent census, Page 4. Always Drive Carefully County Accidents Hurt Two Drivers Two motorists suffered major injuries and two others were hurt less seriously in a series of traffic accidents at various points in northern Orange county during the last 24 hours. Miles A. Phillips, 34, Long Beach, was severely injured when his car struck a small bridge abutment on Grand ave., north of Franklin st., Buena Park, at 12:40 a.m., today. Phillips, alone in his car, was hampered by poor visibility due to a fog. He was removed to Fullerton General hospital. Hilmer Lodge, of Palm dr., near Placentia, member of the Republican County Central committee and instructor at Mt. San Antonio college, at Spadra, received major injuries when his car rammed the rear of a car driven by Henry Westra, 38, of Artesia, at noon yesterday. The collision took place at Valencia ave., north of Yorba Linda Lodge, who formerly operated a print shop in Fullerton was taken to Fullerton General hospital. Westra was unhurt. Arthur E. Fowler, 73, Santa Ana sand and gravel contractor, and his wife, Lydia, 71, are in St. Joseph hospital, Orange, suffering with shock and bruises as a result of an accident yesterday in Santa Ana canyon near Olive, where their car sideswiped a heavy truck driven by George H. Baird Jr., 30, Riverside. Baird was not injured. John S. Moriarty, Monterey Park, city manager, has resigned effective August 10. The city council recently charged him with inefficiency.

Gazette Gets Christ Slapped Fullerton The "EAGER BEAVER" Gazette week distributed as many as 50 copies of the paper on ceramic days throughout Anaheim's tons in order to carry the messthat Anaheim is an excellent place in which to live and a mighty place in which to do your doing. Made some persons nervous, short of believe. One Town Crier," an interest-column written for the Fuller-daily News Tribune apparent-dn't overlook the fact of the spread Anaheim Gazette cov-ny Swenson, personable edi- of the Fullerton paper and writer of Town Crier, wrote yes-y in his column: AGER BEAVERS—A neigh-ging newspaper may find itself the legal doghouse because of hazard distribution here rethe local businessman is still ling because a truckload of making deliveries allegedly fired his vehicle with the one-away papers. Because there's a law against hazard distribution of any paper, circular or similar city officials may take against the paper, one of lowest dailies in the country. US.—Contrary to one pub- Well-Oiled Bootblack Hopes to Hit the Jackpot From bootblack to millionaire. That's the non-stop economic jump Anaheim's Imroy Beamon hopes to make almost any day now. Beamon, who operates a shoe-shine parlor at 108 N. Los Angeles st., is waiting for oil wells — rather than "a ship"—to "come in" and make him a rich man. Owner of 87 acres of property in the Valle Verde colored settlement several miles from Newhall Ranch, Beamon has leased his acreage to the Ohio Oil co., Standard Oil subsidiary. Drilling operations are going on within a few hundred yards of his property on all sides. Steadily producing wells are not much farther away. “Proven oil ground,” Beamon says. The bootblack's land is posted for drilling at the present time with a September 10th drilling date set on one piece of property and an “anytime” date set on the IMROY BEAMON 80 Mile an Hour Race with Anaheim Cop Nets Hotrodder Jail Term A speed-happy hot rod driver challenged Anaheim Police Officer Ed Brawn to a dash through traffic Monday night and lost.

Today the throttlehound, Francis D. Liston, 19, Los Angeles, learned what his reckless 80 mile-an-hour dash would cost him. He had two choices, a $100 fine or 50 days in the county jail. He took the latter. Brawn was parked in a service station on Los Angeles street Monday night when Liston's racer streaked by. Brawn began pursuit immediately. He reported exceeding 80 miles an hour in the chase down the traffic laden street. At Midway dr., the hot rod pilot turned off, then doubled back and headed for Santa Ana. Brawn radioed Santa Ana police of the speedster's approach. They caught Liston when he ducked into the parking lot at the Orange County hospital. In court, Liston was charged with excessive speed on two counts, reckless driving and failure to heed police siren. Merchants Will Stay Open Monday Most Anaheim businessmen will remain open for business on Monday, July 3rd, Chamber of Commerce Manager E. W. Moeller reminded today. As a convenience to Anaheim shoppers, city retail merchants have voted to stay open that day, rather than take a four-day holiday. Special sales and bargain attractions will be offered to allow Anaheim residents to take full advantage of the mid-vacation shopping day. The Anaheim Gazette will not be published on July 4. Police Pick Up Peeping Tom The prospect of watching a 17-year-old girl prepare herself for bed proved too fetching for a 27-year-old Santa Ana man last night, with the result that bright eyes is now preparing an explanation of his after-hour activities for the local magistrate. Anaheim Policemen, Police Officers Alton Hoxie, Ed Brawn, Joseph Miranda and Frank Cozza answered a prowler call on North Janss' street shortly before 10 o'clock last night and heard the girl and her father tell of the boudoir observer. No intruder was in sight at that time, but officers did locate what they figured was his car. It was. Half an hour later the man returned with a penny's worth of gasoline he claimed he needed to remedy a vapor lock condition apparently induced by the heat of the evening. He denied any eye-poppng at first but under repeated questioning ultimately owned up to the charge. Police report that he also recalled several previous arrests for similar nocturnal sightseeing. The man was released on $100 bail and ordered to be in court on July 1. REDLANDS (F)—An on-the-job training program to fit young men for careers in the citrus industry is being initiated by the Mutual Orange Distributors. Directors okehed it yesterday. General Manager Robbins Russel said its objective will be to "attract and hold the right type of personnel for the industry." Who? Stalin? Sorry, Wrong Number Nobody in the Kremlin wished to talk to William R. Sohm 83, when the Los Angeles telephoned Premier Stalin to the "low down" on strife in rea. Solons, who says he's interested in foreign affairs, got three to Moscow yesterday but neither Stalin nor Andrei Vishin would answer. He told friend he doubted Stalin had a link in the Korean crisis and wanted to check with the Russian leader.

Seoul and its airfield at Kimpo, 16 miles west, fell to the communist invaders Wednesday after a see-saw struggle since the start of the red onslaught Sunday. Loss of Seoul and Kimpo and concession that Inchon, Seoul's port 20 miles west, was probably untenable, were confirmed by the United States defense department in Washington. The communists, betraying the Seoul and its airfield at Kimpo, 16 miles west, fell to the communist invaders Wednesday after a see-saw struggle since the start of the red onslaught Sunday. Loss of Seoul and Kimpo and concession that Inchon, Seoul's port 20 miles west, was probably untenable, were confirmed by the United States defense department in Washington. The communists, betraying the completeness of their invasion preparations, quickly began broadcasting from Seoul, introduced Lee Sun Yup, defense minister of the Northern regime, as the new mayor of Seoul. In the broadcast, heard in Tokyo, Lee even ordered Seoul schools to re-open today. U.S. Jets in Action Carrying out President Truman's orders for American air and naval support for the hard-pressed South Korean troops, the U.S. Far East Air Forces announced its jet fighters and light bombers effectively attacked North Korean positions northwest of Seoul on Wednesday. A summary said troop concentrations, truck convoys and railroad yards near Munsan, 25 miles northwest of Seoul, were bombed. It said one American F-82 fighter and a B-26 light bomber were reported destroyed on the ground by strafing of the Russian-made North Korean planes. United States ground troops are not being employed, but General MacArthur sent a Signal Corps unit to set up a field headquarters somewhere in South Korea today. O. H. P. King, Associated Press correspondent, reported from Suwon, 20 miles south of Seoul, that the forces were trying to reform just north of Suwon under Gen. Choi Byong Duk, South Korean chief of staff. Still Retreating King said the Southerners still were falling back in order, but that they had been badly mauled by the Northern tanks. (The U.S. Defense Department identified these as 35-ton Russian-made T-34's, mounting 76 or 88-millimeter guns, and small 12-ton Russian-made T-70's) Suwon was jammed with civilians running away from the red approaching from the north. Korean army leaders tried to whip their badly chewed troops into a defense line around Suwon, King said. There are still large numbers of South Korean units north of score of miles south of their fallen capital of Seoul. This Is Why the United States Helps S. Korea By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (P)—How did we come to get mixed up in Korea in the first place? This will explain. Korea, with 85,000 square miles, is about the size of Utah. It juts out from the northeast coast of Asia, almost touching Japan. Korea now is divided into two Koreas: North and South. The dividing line, very important in this story, is the 38th Parallel of latitude. North of the line, where the population is about 10,000,000 Koreans, is the Communist-run, Russian-sponsored government called "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea." South of the 38th Parallel, and backed by the U.S., is the Republic of Korea. Its population is about 20,000,000 Koreans. South Korea is largely agricultural. Most of the industry is in the North. So both Koreas need each other but haven't been able to get together peacefully. This is not the first time the United States has had a hand in Korea's fate. Japs Took Control In 1907, after Russia had lost its war with Japan, those two nations signed their treaty of peace at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. President Theodore Roosevelt assured the Japanese this country would look upon it favorably if the Japanese took control over Korea, which at the time was all one Korea and had its own government. The Japanese took control, abused and despolled the Koreans, and in 1910 just made Korea part of Japan. In 1919 some Korean patriots asked the Japanese to let Korea have its independence back. They were slaughtered. But other Korean patriots, outside Korea, set up a temporary government-in-exile. They elected Dr. Syngman Rhee president. He had studied at Princeton University under Woodrow Wilson. Then World War II. In 1943—at Who? Stalin? Sorry, Wrong Number Nobody in the Kremlin want to talk to William R. Solons, when the Los Angeles man telephoned Premier Stalin to get the "low down" on strife in Korea. Solons, who says he's interest-in foreign affairs, got through Moscow yesterday but neither Stalin nor Andrel Vlshinsky would answer. He told friends doubted Stalin had a hand in the Korean crisis and wanted check with the Russian leader. Shleigh Installs Fullerton Lions Warren Ashleigh, past president of the Anaheim Lions Club, was ordered as the installing officer by Fullerton Lions last night at their usual Ladies Night installation program. The affair took place at Fullerton Moose Hall. New Fullerton officers installed Ashleigh included Dave Lash- president; Charles Quinn, vice president; Wade Tapert, and vice president; Dan Schiman, and vice president; Larry Froxk, secretary-treasurer; Dr. Emmet Pettis, Tailtwister; and Paul West, Lion Tamer. Lyle Baumanner, Dale Hyatt, Wimp Kurz, and Tracy Wiles were installed as members of the board of directors. In addition to his installation duties, Ashleigh presented 14 members with 100 per cent attendance pns and four members in Key Awards, the latter acceded to Lions who bring two members into the club. Liminary figures indicate that 1,610,000 acres of land were rested in Japan in 1949. (The U.S. Defense Department identified these as 35-ton Russian-made T-34's, mounting 76 or 88-millimeter guns, and small 12-ton Russian-made T-70's.) Suwon was jammed with civilians running away from the reds approaching from the north. Korean army leaders tried to whip their badly chewed troops into a defense line around Suwon, King said. There are still large numbers of South Korean units north of Seoul, he said, who have been virtually cut off and isolated by the sudden advance of the communists. Seoul was in panic as the Northern troops approached. Every road overflowed with fleeing people, lugging bundles of whatever they could gather. The Southern troops, in their haste to slow up the red advance, blew up bridges south of Seoul, cutting off many who would have escaped. Three American correspondents, Burton Crane of The New York Times, Frank Gibney of Time Magazine and Kehes Beech of The Chicago Daily News, barely escaped with their lives when a bridge over the Han river was blown. Scores of dead and injured littered the bridge. How It Happened If the war suddenly ended, the Russians could rush down and take over all of Korea. Then, State Department people explain, this is what happened: The heads of the U.S. Army, Navy and State Department figured out a plan. When the war (Continued on page 5) Top-Heavy Senate Vote Gives Truman Power to Call Reserves WASHINGTON (AP) — A top-heavy Senate vote today gave final Congressional approval to a one-year extension of the draft act. The measure puts in President Truman's hands the power to call up thousands of draftees, National Guardsmen or reserves, if necessary to keep the strength of the Army, Navy and Air Force above the 2,000,000 mark. A 315 to 45 margin for the bill was rolled up late yesterday in the House. Congressional action was seen as quick support for President Truman's demand that communist forces be stopped in Korea and other parts of the world, even if it means a shooting war. The measure not only allows the president to start actual drafting but also allows him to order Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force and Coast Guard reserves to duty. Before the vote, Chairman Tydings (D-Md.) of the Armed Services committee had predicted it would be "nearly unanimous."
