VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEM Outnumbered GL Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER There's a war on... You've heard that and you'll hear it again and again. That two-week old Korean campaign is nothing but a dress rehearsal for World War III. It's no pushover! History is repeating itself. The Korean conflagration can be likened to the Spanish Civil War—a flare up between two conflicting ideologies. This is the prolog... The time isn't ripe for the real McCoy—the all-out, knock-down, drag-out, full-scale war. That's yet to come... All indications point to this so- NEW OFFICERS—Wielding the gavel, newly installed Anaheim P sell poses with club's new officers and board of directors. Left to Jr., Harry G. Nutt, President Russell, Leo J. Friis, Vice-president E. P. Hapgood, and Sergeant-at-arms George Owens. Installation at the Hacienda Country club, La Habra. New Rotary Club Officers Take Posts at Hacienda Country Club Claude Russell, entomologist, assumed presidency of the Anaheim Rotary club at a "ladies night" Demotion-Installation ceremony held last night at Hacienda Country club, La Habra.

Hapgood, secretary-treasurer; George Owens, sergeant-at-arms, and Archie Baker, John Bovee, Jr., Leo Friis, and Harry G. Nutt, board of directors. Shackled with a hefty ball-and-chain and charged with heinous crimes during a mock courtroom trial, staged by club past-presidents, Bovee was "sentenced to past-presidency" in hilarious demotion activities. More solemn installation ceremonies were accorded the new president and vice-president, with Joe R. Thompson and Leroy E. Ater doing the installing. Program for the evening was provided by "Bowery Thrush" Vera Newcomb and by the one-act, centrally-staged play "Star Struck," directed by Lois Rees Auer. Dr. John Wilcox arranged activities.

Hapgood, and wives, left for Carlsbad, N.M., this morning for a two-day district meeting. Little Hospitality Shown Fullerton’s ‘Hospitality Lane’ After little hospitality was shown Fullerton’s “Hospitality Lane” signs on Spadra by the State Highway sign committee, the prominent tourist guide markers are being removed today. Order for their removal was based on a department edict prohibiting "unessential street markers on state highways." The “Hospitality Lane” signs were erected six months ago along the main Fullerton thoroughfare without proper permission having been secured. They have been downed by city council order. The remainder of “Hospitality Lane” will remain intact. Weary Fire Fighters Continue To Battle California Blazes SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Weary, smoke-blackened fire fighters Weary Fire Fighters Continue To Battle California Blazes SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Weary, smoke-blackened fire fighters continued today to battle scattered blazes which have burned thousands of acres of California scrub and timber land and killed four men. Almost as quickly as one fire is under control another is reported. An estimated 500 men—aided by plane, helicopter and bulldozer—reported they had "75 per cent" control of a blaze which spread over 20,000 acres in the Las Pilitas area near Santa Margarita northwest of San Luis Obispo. State forester De Witt Nelson said that with good weather it might be possible to bring the flames under control today. No homes were threatened by the fire. But it was in this area that four men died late Wednesday. The fire fighters included foresters flown in from Oregon and a detachment of Fort Ord soldiers with 18 bulldozers. The bulldozers were being used in an effort to outflank the wind-driven flames. The Santa Margarita fire was one of four which whipped over more than 40,000 acres of the Los Padres area. Twenty miles to the south, 500 fire fighters from the forestry service, Soledad state prison and National Guards brought under control a 17,000 acre fire on Pine Ridge, near Arroyo Grande. Two hundred men were rushed to contain a 200-acre blaze, described as "potentially dangerous," 10 miles south of Big Sur in Los Padres National Forest. Fire fighters said they expected to gain control today of a 7000-acre brush fire 20 miles northwest of Santa Barbara. In Southern California, thundershowers aided 200 fire fighters in extinguishing a blaze on the brush-covered slopes of Mt. San Gorgonio, east of San Bernardino. Some 12,000 acres were burned. A small new fire was reported near the top of 10,000-foot Mt. San Bernardino, five miles from the San Gorgonio blaze. A U.S. Forestry crew hoped to reach the ascent this morning and extinguish the flames before they spread. In Central California, a fire burned over 100 acres of brush and timber below Pine Flat dam in Fresno county's Wonder Valley. The blaze threatened a ranch building for a time but crews from the Miramonte correctional camp cut off the flames. Assistant Rancher Lee Slinkard said the blaze was confined to Bear Mountain. Bulldozers and extra fire fighters were dispatched to the scene.

Nation at Glance Korean War Seen as Long, Costly Struggle (By The Associated Press) WASHINGTON — Administration officials are beginning to assess the Korean war as a long, difficult and costly struggle on the part of the United States. Depending on how the actual fighting goes, this development of a less optimistic outlook about an early end to the conflict apparently means a steady build up of American forces in the war area—with increasing requirements for money, men and munitions. In addition, the United States is confronted with the need to (1) keep up a billion-dollar flow of arms to Western Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia and (2) keep its own forces prepared to deal with any further moves by the Soviet-controlled communist bloc. The administration thus far has withheld any indication of what measures it may eventually take. But some highly placed informants now believe that a degree of industrial mobilization may be essential. WASHINGTON—President Truman today asked Congress for $260,000,000 to speed development of atomic bombs, and push experiments on the hydrogen bomb. Mr. Truman said the money would be used to enable the draft law to bring military forces to needed strength for the Korean war. The text of the short announcement made at the Pentagon follows: "To meet the situation in Korea, upon recommendation of the joint chiefs of staff, concurred in by the Secretaries of Army, Navy and Air, and with the approval of the president, the Army, Navy and Air Force have been authorized to exceed the over-all budget ceilings for military personnel. “This action constitutes a first step to build up to full operating strength the units of the Army, Navy and Air Force to be used in the Korean operation, to provide further maintenance and support therefore, and to replace units to be moved to Korea. “The use of Selective Service has been authorized. Voluntary enlistments also will be accepted.” The announcement did not contain any estimated figure for the new military expansion. The latest total strength figure given for the Armed Forces was about 1,370,000. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Resumption of the classifying of 1-A Selective Service registrants was ordered today by the State draft organization. Maj. F. A. Hartwell, assistant deputy director in charge of Southern Area headquarters here, said (Continued from Page 5) Puppet Serves As Children’s Library Theme Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket, two colorful, cleverly-contrived puppets, occupy places of honor in current summer reading club activities at the Anaheim Children's library, Librarian Elva Hasket revealed today. Pinocchio lends his name to the program—now called the "Pinocchio Book Club,"—and Jiminy, traditional conscience and guide of the famous character, stands guard over a small “barrel of fun” containing slips of paper with names of suggested books for primary youngsters. Both the immortal storybook figures, almost a foot tall, are prominently displayed on a central library table. Attracting more than 100 youngsters so far, the program opened shortly after school let out and will continue until it resumes. Minutes of Pioneer Meetings Recalled Early Anaheim The steps of the order Anaheim Colonists were and rapid.

Minutes were translated by late Mrs. Marie Horstmeyer Dwyer exclusively for the zette in the early 1930s. Starting Monday, the Gaill will publish excerpts from M. Horstmann Dwyer’s translation retelling, in the words of pioneers, the story of Anaheim. At the outset, two historic errors which have appeared print recently must be corrected.

Both the immortal storybook figures, almost a foot tall, are prominently displayed on a central library table. Attracting more than 100 youngsters so far, the program opened shortly after school let out and will continue until it resumes. At least 300 boys and girls will have participated before the summer is over, according to Miss Haskett. Under the present plan, each child receives a special Pinocchio book as soon as he enrolls in the program. Bearing the legend "Don't Be a Donkey — Read Books," and a picture of Pinocchio with long mule's ears, the book serves as a reading record for each child. As each child reads his quota of books, he is allowed to remove the donkey ears from Pinocchio. Handsome diplomas also will be presented to the children for successful culmination of the program. For a diploma, 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders must read six books. Upper graders must read 10. Careful decorations carrying out the program's theme decorate library walls. A series of Pinocchio and Jiminy pictures donated by the Broadway school cover one wall. Large "barrels of fun" drawings listing readers for each school grade cover another wall. The children's library is now also offering weekly story time sessions for children of all ages. Held each Tuesday afternoon, Story Time comes at 2 p.m., for primary children and at 2:30 p.m., for older children. See you there.

CHICAGO (AP)—AFL switchmen have called off their 12-day strike against four of five big Mid-West and Western railroads. They acted yesterday after President Truman called the strike unjustified and threatened drastic action. The strike against the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific continues. The other lines—the Chicago Great Western, the Great Northern, the Denver and Rio Grande Western, and the Western Pacific—bent all efforts today to get rolling again. The end of the strike on the four lines came eight hours after the president told a news conference he would take drastic action if necessary to halt the walkout of 4000 members of the AFL Switchmen's union of North America. He did not say what he would do if his demand were ignored. He did not, for example, say whether he would ask government seizure of the lines. The Western Pacific said in San Francisco it would run its passenger trains today. Officers of the Great Northern, at St. Paul, Minn., announced operations would be resumed "as fast as we can." D. & G.W. officials at Denver said their (Continued on page 5) DISASTER COUNCIL READYING PLANS FOR WAR PROTECTION SACRAMENTO (AP)—The State Disaster council agreed today to act—and act speedily—to prepare California for "any catastrophe short of an atomic attack."

"For the first time we will be faced with a large body of disloyal people."
