VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER Life-as-usual is impossible when there is a war to be fought and won. War is a game... It is a game of chess played by generals who use men and material as pawns. Mistakes are costly... When those who play the game of war make mistakes, these mistakes are paid for in the lives of men, women and innocent children. Military service should be democratic. They argue it can't be.

Parade Marshal, Anaheim Area Carpenters Now Back on Jobs Carpenters working in the Anaheim area are back on the job today almost "one hundred percent," according to City Building Inspector R. W. Nyboe. Although the larger share of AFL carpenters in the area failed to report for work Monday, most returned yesterday or this morning. Most housing projects, the new Jefferson Elementary school, and the new Presbyterian church were among projects where carpenters had walked out. Most carpenters have now accepted a 20 cent increase, despite AFL council disapproval. Meanwhile thousands of carpenters elsewhere remained out.

Map Answers Sewer Queries The answer to the many quiries concerning the exa status of the county sanitation project was provided today as Nelson Launer, general manager, displayed a map showing present and proposed installations in O range county. Pictured above is the map which tells the story. Of most immediate concern Anaheim residents is the proposed Magnolia Trunk line. M Launer's pencil rests midway on the Magnolia Trunk. The list starts just north of Manchester ave., at Magnolia and Common wealth in Fullerton and runs south on Magnolia and Canne to Ellis ave., near the Huntington Beach district. At its southern termination, a force main, indicated on the map by the broken line connects it with the treatment plant at the Euclid ave., sew now in use.

Bullet Ends Life Of Fullerton Man George E. McGee, 62, resident of Fullerton for the past four months ended his life yesterday with a bullet wound in the head. He was the father of Mrs. Betty Yorba, of Anaheim, and had been making his home with his son, Donald, at 532 Valley View dr. His body was found slumped beside the garage by a neighbor, Mrs. Hugh Warden, wife of the Fullerton mayor. In a note found upon him, he willed his property to the son and three daughters, Mrs. Yorba, Mrs. Marjorie Schlogenhauff, Fullerton, and Mrs. Patricia Foster, Newport Beach. Private funeral services were scheduled this afternoon, at a Fullerton mortuary with the Rev. Graham Hunter, pastor of Fullerton First Presbyterian church, officating. Interment will be in Melrose Abbey cemetery. Meanwhile thousands of carpenters elsewhere remained out. Carpenters officials say they have signed 640 non-association contractors to pay the demanded $2.32 and some association members have secretly signed. A court hearing, under direction of Federal Conciliator Earl Ruddy, is scheduled for Friday. A union official said a "desperate effort" is being made to resume work at the mammoth Lakewood housing project west of Anaheim. A spokesman for the AFL district council of carpenters said work may resume at Lakewood tomorrow morning, where 1200 carpenters are off the job. He said negotiations are on today. Still tied up by the carpenters' walkout is the $16,000,000 Tujunga wash flood control project. There will be a court hearing tomorrow on a temporary injunction sought by the Employer associations against the union to prevent a strike. With the work stoppage Monday, after a superior judge had issued a restraining order against a strike, 16 union officials were cited for contempt of court. The carpenters' union claim they were not bound by a master contract setting basic wages for other construction workers. The carpenters ask a boost in their hourly rate from $2.12 an hour to $2.32½. It is estimated that 16 to 20 per cent of U.S. economic effort goes into new capital goods.

"If it wasn't we would brought so many back," James Bufano, 2952 Fent Not Seen By Truman WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman today said the government has under consideration plans for every phase of home-front mobilization but will use them only if necessary. Mr. Truman told his news conference: No food rationing will become necessary; No food shortage is in prospect; and Hoarding is very foolish. Mr. Truman said the sharp increase in many food prices must be attributed to profiteering. He implied he has no immediate plans to call on Congress for emergency powers dealing with price, wage or allocation controls or with the conversion of civilian industry to war production. All matters relating to the emergency are under consideration, he said, and at the appropriate time steps will be taken—if they are necessary. Truman Hopeful On Korean War WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman said today he is considering mobilizing more men and money behind the Korean war effort. He declared he will take any steps necessary to bring it to a successful conclusion. In a mood of confidence and determination, Mr. Truman told a news conference the United States will hold on in Korea. He said we never have had the tar licked out of us and it won't happen this time. Under questioning, the President said that among the things relating to the Korean emergency under consideration for proper action at the proper time are these: Calling in reserves, specialists and the National Guard. Asking Congress for more money military purposes in the near future. Mobilization of manpower in general. Reports both to the people and to Congress on the Korean situation.

AT THE AMERICAN FRONT IN KOREA (AP)—American troops who covered the retreat from Chochiwon said today "the withdrawal was damn orderly." "If it wasn't we wouldn't have brought so many back," said Lt. James Bufano, 2952 Fenton ave., the Bronx, N.Y. He said the communists tried to raise hell with the pull-out" but mortar and artillery fire splashed armlessly in nearby rice paddies. Only four shells of the fairly heavy arragegun "until the last man could see was out." Gates said some Americans headed in the wrong directions, but they have a chance of working back to their own lines. Many returned to U.S. positions during the night. Battle seasoning is building confidence in the American GI. A bug morale builder has been American air action even though there have been mistaken straffings of U.S. positions. "The damned North Koreans are taking a hell of a lot worse than we are," said Gates. "Every one the air hits them they get real bloody nose. "Every time there's a fight it kicks a couple of days for them straighten themselves out." A senior front line officer who a veteran of the European war did "the guys (Infantrymen) getting shot at don't see much of that our Air Force is doing.

Draft Call Plans Now WASHINGTON (AP)—The Army said today it has "no present plan" for another draft call. But it did not close the door to the possibility that events in Korea might bring a new call in the months ahead. An Army briefing officer who made the comment of present intentions also cautioned that conditions are changing rapidly. Elsewhere, it was learned that a second call for perhaps 20,000 draftees may be issued about October. This would be after the men ordered in Monday's call were in the induction "pipeline." Officially, the Pentagon has given the same "no present plans" answer to questions about bringing into federal service units of the National Guard. But here again this comment has been made against the background of a swiftly changing picture. Disaster Relief Measures Urged LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Chamber of Commerce industrial security section today urged Southern California plants, "in the light of current international difficulties," to protect themselves by: 1. Using two separate feeder systems for all utilities. 2. Putting electric transformers and gas valves underground. 3. Establishing emergency water and power supplies independent of public systems. 4. Organizing disaster brigades. Anaheim Councilmen Tuesday anticipated the call for formation of emergency organizations as they took under advisement a plan for disaster relief measures. The plan is one formulated by the California Disaster Corps. Anaheim is an accredited member of the agency which was born during the recent war. City Clerk Charles Griffith indicated this morning that the plan submitted is similar to the now dormant disaster plan which the city employed during the war. To reactivate the plan, would require the assignment of personnel to the standing administrative setup and provision for various safety measures and equipment throughout the city. ADVANCE AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN KOREA (AP)—Advancing under cover of a heavy rain shower communist North Korean infantry started moving into position tonight on the Kum river north bank east and west of the main highway bridge south of Chichiwon, front line reports said. This is the sector held by the Americans. (The dispatch was timed 10:03 p.m. July 13 Korean time—7:03 p.m. July 12 EST). Associated Press photographer Charles Gorry said American artillery, mortars and 75-millimeter guns, put a heavy barrage on the reds as they moved up to dig in on the thick high levee wall. Americans were well entrenched on the south bank. Gorry was at the river line when the Korean reds started moving onto the levee. Americans blew another section of the highway bridge which they had partially blown up last night. Earlier in the day American artillery poured heavy fire into a red tank column which was reported advancing southward about six miles north of the main highway bridge. Subjected to steady aerial pounding and artillery shelling, red tanks have not been in action against the Americans, who withdrew across the Kum river, for two days. Chichiwon, given up by the Americans yesterday, was pounded by B-26 bombers which carried six tons each today. Entire Reservist Squadron Volunteer For Active Duty An entire naval reserve fighter squadron—more than 100 officers and men—volunteered last night for active duty at Los Alamos Air Base. Twenty-four pilots, six ground pilots and 74 enlisted men of squadron VF-781 signed up at the suggestion of Lt. Comdr. Colonel Oveland, 32, San Diego. In addition, 16 pilots who formerly belonged to the outfit also joined. Most are World War II veterans. City Clerk Charles Griffith indicated this morning that the plan submitted is similar to the now dormant disaster plan which the city employed during the war. To reactivate the plan, would require the assignment of personnel to the standing administrative setup and provision for various safety measures and equipment throughout the city. The U.S. State Department was established as the Department of Foreign Affairs July 27, 1789. Community Gets Behind Work On New Optimist Boy’s Club More news regarding the Optimists Boys’ Clubhouse was released yesterday by President Tom Yellis. To John O'Kane, local contractor, has been delegated the job of construction supervision. Barnie Brodie has charge of electrical wiring. Sven Harberg has been invaluable in styling and decorating. Louis Larson and Marvin Mason, in charge of boys’ activities, have assisted architect Oscar Leeb in planning a building to adequately care for Anaheim youth. “Certainly the Optimist Club has received the wholehearted cooperation of every member of the community,” observes Yellis. “Though we may receive the credit for the undertaking, this is indeed a community project.” Ude Bauer of Anaheim Sand and Gravel, long a friend who has aided the Optimist Club in the past, was one of the first to contribute. His company will supply the plaster sand used in actual construction and he has generously offered the loan of his mechanized equipment whenever needed. Many others have offered material contributions and these gifts will be acknowledged at a later date. To the City of Anaheim goes a ringing round of applause from the blistered palmed Optimists who first “cleaned up” the proposed building site on Boy Scout property. It was the City trucks that hauled away the countless loads of debris, not to mention the trunk and roots of the gigantic pepper tree whose removal literally had those Optimists “stumped.” Help in obtaining reinforcing steel without cost from manufacturers is additionally expected from Aksel Oas, Art Pressell, and Evans Manufacturing company.
