NEUBAUER Southern California's citrus industry is undergoing a transition that may change the entire agricultural outlook of Orange county. Pity the poor orange grower! The industry has become top-heavy. Marketing associations to which most growers belong skim the cream from the yield. Production costs are high and leave nothing but residue at the bottom of the bucket. It ain't right! The grower is entitled to a little something for his labor. If he doesn't get a little something, he'll turn to other fields of endeavor to make a livelihood. *** ANAHEIM NEEDS—A modern, up-to-date maternity hospital so that Anaheim people can be born in Anaheim. *** PEOPLE—Frank Shaffer was fined $10 for running over a fire It ain't right!

Record Crop of Student Swimming Classes: Hours Chambers Urge Industrial Site County Survey Orange county is losing numerous worthwhile industries for lack of known suitable sites and adequate data on industrial facilities. That is the opinion of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. To remedy the situation the Associated Chambers will request the County Supervisors to conduct a survey that can furnish information required for an industrial development program. The decision was reached last night as the directors of the association met in Santa Ana with their new president, Justin Kennedy, presiding for the first time. The board unanimously approved a recommendation by the industrial committee's co-chairman W. L. Farrow, Garden Grove, and Howard Irwin, Fullerton, that the supervisors be asked to assign county personnel, probably an engineer, to conduct a six-months survey which would give adequate data on suitable industrial tracts at various points in the county—and out of cities. More Anaheim youngsters are learning to swim (this year) than ever before. That's the story told by the record books at the City park plunge where the City Recreation Department is conducting the daily summer swim session. Opening day, last Thursday, saw a total of 339 turn out for classes plunge manager John Wallin pointed out today. The next day saw the figure boosted as 39 young students made their way to the aquatic classroom. Saturday usually light, saw the number drop to 238. But the kids were back at it again in full force to day Wallin stated. Total attendance for the three days stands at 975. Average daily enrollment comes to 291 students. Last year, the first three days of school lured 604 children to the plunge, a daily average of 201. The king-sized enrollment has necessitated a change of schedule manager Wallin states. The new Tuesday through Saturday hours are: 11 year olds, 9 a.m.-9:30 nine and ten, 9:35-10:05; eighth 10:10-10:40; seven, 10:45-11:15; six, 11:20-11:50; five, 11:55-12:25. Instructors for the beginners session numbered two at the out set of the program, but have been increased to three to handle the unexpected overload. Two originally signed for the job include Misses Agnes Heying and Pa Booth. Latest addition to the swimming staff is Miss Barbara Rimau already engaged in other who owns quite a hunk of Anaheim real estate, is a hobby champion. He has a dozen...

He sold his old home and has to wait until the new one on the country place is completed. REMEMBER—A practical joke can be very impractical. Ashleigh Sells Acme Cleaners Acme Cleaners, 946 N. Los Angeles st., has been sold to Paul H. Kleuter, formerly of Arcadia, Acme owner Warren Ashleigh said today. The sale involved transfer of business and equipment. Ashleigh said he will lease the building and property to the new proprietor. Under Klueter, the establishment will open as the Band Box Cleaners.. Manager of the business will continue to be Ralph Osborn, associated with Ashleigh for several years. Grand opening of the Band Box Cleaners is scheduled for Saturday, July 15. Extensive improvements in both plant and equipment are scheduled to be completed by that time. Klueter operated a cleaning establishment in Arcadia prior to the Anaheim venture. Earlier he operated a cleaning service in Palm Springs. The board unanimously approved a recommendation by the industrial committee's co-chairman W. L. Farrow, Garden Grove, and Howard Irwin, Fullerton, that the supervisors be asked to assign county personnel, probably an engineer, to conduct a six-month survey which would give adequate data on suitable industrial tracts at various points in the county—in and out of cities. The survey would include study of assets and facilities favorable to light and heavy industry. These would cover geography, climate, transportation, utilities, labor supply, housing, recreation facilities, plant sites and costs. Local Approval Commenting on the action, E. W. Moeller, manager of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, said the project is "a good idea." It will lay the foundation for a program of inducing plants to come into the area. These plants would provide job opportunities required by the continuing influx of persons into Southern California, Mr. Moeller pointed out. Mr. Moeller believes that until such a survey is completed the county hasn't even taken the first step in industrial development. Of prime importance, he says, is the assurance of adequate water supply and sewage for the county. When that is accomplished several "ideal" locations may be opened up for industrial expansion. At the Santa Ana meeting, last night, the question was raised by E. J. "Brick" Powers, Anaheim, as to the likelihood of the county assuming the cost of a survey that would include the incorporated cities and their industrial tracts. The general opinion was there would be no objection since the (Continued on page 5) Tuesday through Saturday hours are: 11 year olds, 9 a.m.-9:30 nine and ten, 9:35-10:05; eight 10:10-10:40; seven, 10:45-11:15 six, 11:20-11:50; five, 11:55-12:25 Instructors for the beginners session numbered two at the outset of the program, but have been increased to three to handle the unexpected overload. Two originally signed for the job included Misses Agnes Heying and Pa Booth. Latest addition to the swimming staff is Miss Barbara Rimpau, already engaged in other phases of the Recreation Department summer program. Miss Heying recently graduated from Stanford University where she majored in Physical Education. She taught swimming at the plunge last summer under the recreation program. She holds a water safety instructor's certificate. Miss Booth is a University of Redlands student where she is working toward a career in recreation supervision. A life guard at the high school plunge in the past she spent the early part of this summer at the Red Cross Aquatic School at Catalina. Miss Rimpau is a physical education major at UCLA. Serving as lifeguards at the plunge this summer are Warren Stolz, Don Ames, Bill Kellog, Gil Luna. Swimming classes will continue through August 26, according to present plans. However, if the demand is sufficient, the sessions will be extended, manager Wallin indicated today.

Army and Air Force offices in Santa Ana reported: "Yesterday the office was jammed. We estimate enlistment is up about 30 per cent in the last week." It was added that continued inquiries about the draft and enlistment procedure has "kept the phones hot." Navy-Marine offices in Santa Ana also noted some increase in enlistments and "an unusually high number of inquiries during the last week." They added that "many more" ex-servicemen have been considering re-enlistment recently. Several Anaheim men's applications for enlistment are now on file. Fullerton Army and Navy offices, which handle Anaheim enlistees, echoed the same information; additionally naming five Upset Americans 4-3 in 14 Innings The National League All-Stars upset the favored American All-Stars 4-3 in a 14 inning ball game today at Chicago's Comisky Park.

But Joe Bimaggio batted into a double play to end the game. Complete play-by-play description of the game is on page 2. Draft Calls To be Sent Out to 6000 SACRAMENTO (AP)—Draft notices will go out shortly for 6000 men in California, State Selective Service headquarters announced today. About 600 will come from Southern California, according to Maj. Francis Hartwell, regional director. Out of that pool, Army induction centers will pick 1187 registrants—California's quota in the 20,000-man request by the Defense Department. Col. Kenneth I. Leitch, State Draft director, said the first call is for men in the 25-year age group. "Depending on the ability of Army induction stations to process the men, we hope to send about 6000 for pre-induction physical examinations in August," he said. He said, however, that as far as he knows, the Army has no induction stations at present. They will have to be set up by the Sixth Army in San Francisco. The 6000 men to be called for screening will include 2490 who underwent physical examinations a year ago and were tagged "ready to go" at the time. New Examinations But Leitch said the Army probably would not take these men without a new examination. It must be taken into account, too, he sad that many may be subject to deferment if they have married in the interim or joined the reserves. The rejection rate in World War H ran almost 50 per cent, but Navy-Marine offices in Santa Ana also noted some increase in enlistments and "an unusually high number of inquiries during the last week." They added that "many more" ex-servicemen have been considering re-enlistment recently. Several Anaheim men's applications for enlistment are now on file. Fullerton Army and Navy offices, which handle Anaheim enlistees, echoed the same information; additionally naming five Anaheim men who have enlisted recently. Anaheim area men who have enlisted within the last week and a half include: Harold L. McCardy, 7592 Orange ave., (Air Force); Robert Cazares, 300 N. Paulina, (U.S. Army); Josea Lopez, 134 E. Broadway, (Airborne); Ralph Rivera, Jr., 829 S. Olive, (U.S. Army), and Edward Roberts, 618 N. Lemon, (U.S. Army). Refrigerator From Ballman’s Drafted For Overseas Duty An 11½ cubic foot Frigidaire sold by Ballman’s Appliances in Anaheim has been shipped to a Pacific overseas point, presumably Korea, for use by a Marine Corps squadron, it was revealed today by William Ballman. Ballman was contacted by an officer of the flying squadron then based at El Toro and asked to supply the large refrigerator. Shortly after, a detachment of Marines arrived in Anaheim to box the refrigerator for shipment. The purchase was made personally by squadron commissioned officers and paid for by the officers. screening will include 2490 who underwent physical examinations a year ago and were tagged "ready to go" at the time. New Examinations But Leitch said the Army probably would not take these men without a new examination. It must be taken into account, too, he sad that many may be subject to deferment if they have married in the interim or joined the reserves. The rejection rate in World War H ran almost 50 per cent, but Leitch pointed out the draft was NO LOCAL QUOTA Although receipt of a draft quota for Orange county draft boards is expected momentarily, no such communique had been received by midafternoon, according to Mrs. Stella Crawley, head of the Santa Ana Selective Service office. Meanwhile, board members of 133, 134 and 135, assisted by two new employees added today, are hard at work classifying draft registrants. bringing in older men—up to 45 at the outset. The age group gradually went down until the Armed Forces wouldn't raise anyone over 25 in the closing phases. The inductees for the first call will be selected first by age and then by order number determined by local draft boards. The 1187 California quota is for delivery not later than September 30. Leitch said if not enough 1A material turns up in August out of the 25 age bracket, draft boards will reach into the 24 group and then the 23s if necessary. The state director said his latest report from local boards—as of May 31—showed 23,000 men in the 1A (fit for military duty) classification throughout the state. No Board Quotas Quotas for each of the 144 draft boards in the state will have to be worked out. ZETTE 1950 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month No. 73 The Weather S.

LONDON—The Foreign Office said tonight Britain's ambassador in Moscow had a second talk with Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko today on a possible "peaceful settlement of the Korean conflict." The Foreign Office said no word on the outcome of the talk had so far been received. TOKYO, Wednesday, July 12 —The North Korean communists hurled American defenders back Korea today in a major push powered by an estimated 80 tanks. Some of these Russian-made tanks were identified as 60-ton monsters. This enormous strength was displayed despite the announced knockout of 65 enemy tanks by American Air Forces only the day before the general red offensive got under way. A spokesman at American Field headquarters in South Korea said the communists were using 80 tanks on the American front in the Chonui area alone. They also were using most of their infantry strength in the big drive, he said. He recalled that some days ago the invaders were estimated to have 15 divisions totaling 75,000 effective infantry fighters. Communist troops disguised as civilians infiltrated the American lines in a foggy night in advance of the big push. They created confusion. The enemy's deepest reported thrust drove the Americans out of Chochiwon, five airline miles north of the Kum river. The Kum is the last major defense line north of Taejon (pre-continued on Page 5) Anaheim Firemen Fight Fire And Bystanders; Citations Issued fire whistles and sirens were in Anaheim last night again the local firefighters were plagued by hordes of all seekers who were atter by the clamour. The fire was fortunately, a miracle one. Just a pile of lumber lying in a vacant lot at the intersection of Commercial and the sts. But it could have turned into a catastrophe in Anaheim's industrial section, had the firemen been able to nose out the onlookers early evening dash. The fire was extinguished immediately. So many of the civilians didn't see much for all efforts. But the crowd that ultimately gathered at the spot, long after the equipment had arrived to the station, was indicted of the potential hindrance lightseers to firefighters. At least 200 automobiles invaded the immediate area of the fire, leading to the estimate of one fatal. In addition, hundreds of vehicles on foot clogged the place for several blocks. Olive street from Center to Commercial, was jammed with traffic, slowed to a mere crawl by sheer number of automobiles. Chief Nyboe expressed concern today over the growing tendency of Anaheimers to chase fire engines and gave notice that stern measures will be taken in the future to correct the situation. "So far we have been able to cope with both fires and traffic," Nyboe said, "but if the problem continues to increase, the day will come when men and equipment will not be able to reach the scene of a fire on time. That can be disastrous." "There is also the possibility of accidents en route to fires to consider. Here again we have been lucky. But crashes involving fire equipment and private autos are inevitable if people don't stay out of the way." As emphasis to this statement, Nyboe added, "From now on, anyone following fire equipment or driving within a block of any fire will be handed a ticket by the Police Department." Last night Nyboe's warning was anticipated by members of the Anaheim Police Department who responded to the fire call. The officers issued a total of 18 citations to motorists whom they found blocking the fire area. Those cited for violation of the state vehicle code which prohibits interference with fire department vehicles were: Carl Remland, 303 East Alberta; Alvin Nellesen, 411 East Chartres; Ralph Anderson, 115A West; William Fradle, 1167 East Third, Santa Ana; Orville Husselbee, Stanton; James Johnston, 928 South Rio Vista; Herman Koenig, 241 East Adele; Robert Monteverdo, P.O.
