A Long Beach private eye applied for the job and an appointment was made for an interview. The tall, lean, rawboned chap had to stop at a gastation restroom for the obvious reason. Gastation attendants being alert individuals are always on the lookout for suspicious characters. This was one. After the gumshoe left the station, he made a routine check of the restroom, and to his surprise found a peashooter in its holster over the door. He got a dust rag, covered the gun and placed it in the safe and went about his business. It wasn't long before the private eye returned. "Say feller, did you find a gun?" . . .

Slot Machines Go Underground The slot machine, conservatively figured to be an $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 a year operation in Orange county, tomorrow becomes a ghost racket. Information from various sources in the county indicate a wholesale dumping of the "one armed bandits" has been made in anticapation of the stringent new law which goes into effect tomorrow. The anti-slot machine statute, the work of the 1950 legislature reads plainly enough. It says: It is illegal to possess a slot machine after July 14. Where formerly a gambling pay-off had to be proved, now the machines can be seized on sight. They can't even be stored. In short, you just can't have them. Pin ball games, however, are exempt from the provisions. Last May 17 the Gazette printed the names and addresses of 190 places in Orange county which were registered with the United States Bureau of Internal Revenue as possessing slot machines. At that time the Gazette had information that more than 150 of the coin-eating devices were flourishing in the county. In fact, Orange county was listed as one of the top 10 counties in the state in the number of slot machines. Information from the various sources in the county indicates widespread removal of the machines began shortly after the publication of the list. A few of the devices were shipped to New vada where they are legal. Other machines still may be lingering in cities or unincorporated areas of Orange county. They are expected to be picked up quickly by local police or sheriffmen when the new law becomes effective tomorrow; or to be exact it becomes law a minute after midnight tonight. Throughout the state, the slot machine operation was figure ANAHEIM GAZETTE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1950 Reds Fight Over Kum Do Forces Taking No Dunkerque Seen in Korea WASHINGTON (UP)—An army spokesman said today that American troops in Korea "are not being slaughtered" and "there is no Dunkerque in sight" there.

Dwyer Seen in Korea WASHINGTON (UP)—An army spokesman said today that American troops in Korea "are not being slaughtered" and "there is no Dunkerque in sight" there. In the morning briefing session at the Pentagon the Army officer told reporters: “There isn’t any doubt in the world that we are going to hold. “Sure we are. But it takes time to build up an offensive. We have got the means to handle the situation. “But of course it’s embarrassing—and awfully tough on the people who are up there on the grindstone.” By his reference to Dunkerque, the officer meant there is no sign the Americans are being forced toward a hasty withdrawal such as faced Allied troops rescued from the beaches before the swift German advance to the sea in Europe in World War II. The Army officer cited figures for a 24-hour period in Korea showing one killed, 20 wounded and none missing. There were 14 non-battle casualties—men who became sick or were injured in accident. Announcement also was made of the loss of one of the 50-plane, B-29 mission which conducted a heavy air strike yesterday. No Need Seen For Elaborate Civil Defense Orange county cities should not be in haste to rush plans for civil defense nor expend money for equipment for that purpose. But, they should have key personnel ready for emergency disaster service. So advised John Crowley, director of the Los Angeles office of the State League of Cities, at a meeting of the executive board of the Orange County League of Cities, in session last night at Santa Ana. Crowley said that the federal government will provide all costs and supervision of aircraft warning services as a major function of civil defense. In other respects, he said, the program will be developed at state, county, and city levels with local controls. It is not now necessary for trained and equipped personnel and stations to be established, said Crowley, but cities and counties should enact pre-humans in Pacific Coast Ports SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Pacific Coast is becoming the nation's marshalling point for war in Korea.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden announced today it Hot Rod Driver Caught as ‘Slows Down to 70 mph’ Robert Clyde Morgan, young El Toro marine, hot rod driver, was running away from two pursuing Santa Ana police patrol cars on N. Main st., at 2 a.m., today, but apparently he didn’t realize he was winning the race. He didn't know there was a race, in fact. When he did discover that he was being chased, he slowed down and the police caught him on Santa Ana boulevard, they reported today. Although they had crossed 17th st., in pursuit at 85 miles per hour and Morgan's car still was drawing away from them, they said, the police charged Morgan with speeding a conservative 70 miles per hour in a 25-mile zone. Morgan explained that he had been quarreling with his girl, and was taking it out in speed. Patrol cars saw him “dig” from E. Fourth to N. Main, in the center of the Santa Ana business district, and took up the chase. ZETTE The Weather S. Calif. — Scattered high cloudiness today, tonight and Saturday.

Mums in Pacific Coast Ports SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Pacific Coast is becoming the nation's marshalling point for the war in Korea. Marines were aboard ship at San Diego, ready to sail. Victory ships were slipping out of moorings fleets for reconditioning. Speedup of modernization of aircraft carriers was ordered. Thousands of new workers been into shipyards. The airlift of troops and supplies to Japan was gaining momentum. Pan American airways, one of at least 10 companies providing charter planes to the military air transport service, recalled all pilots laid off January 1. Draft authorities were cracking down, too. In San Diego, three men were arrested for not carrying draft cards. One said "hadn't found time to register." The escort carrier Badoeng craft was being loaded with planes at the Naval Air station San Diego. At Bremerton, Nash., the naval shipyard went six-day week to speed up modernization of the 27,000-ton carrier Essex. Port facilities at Tacoma and Olympia, Wash., will be used as military requirements dictate. Reconditioning of Victory ships is underway at several ports. San Francisco, Bethlehem Steel Corp., added 500 new work—doubling last week's crew—to work on the warbound 4500-cargo vessels. They are out of the nearby Suisun Bay mothball net. At Portland, Ore., work began on Victory ships from anchorage Astoria, Ore. Ship yards along the West Coast are on a two shift basis to handle the refitting of "mothball" set ships. Meanwhile, Sixth Army commanders for reserve component tricts prepared to send letters 6000 enlisted reserves notifying them their services are needed and they will be accepted for active duty if they are physically qualified. Lt. Gen. William E. Kepner, 57, specialist in jet fighters and american weapons, took command of Alaska's defenses. He issued a statement assuring the citizens Alaska that the territory would defended if attacked. STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Sweden announced today it would Notices Will Go Into Mail Tonite "Around 600 draft notices" go out into the mail tonight for Orange county youths classified 1-A, according to Mrs. Stella Crawley, head of the Santa Ana Selective Service office. An undetermined number of these are scheduled for Anaheim area men, she added. The number is the county's share of 6000 men receiving notices throughout California. Out of this pool of 6000, Army induction centers will immediately pick 1187 for immediate processing—California's quota in the 20,000-man request made by the Defense department two days ago. On a ratio basis, it appears likely, then, that about 100 Orange county men may be expected to emerge from physical examinations and screening for the first draft. A large part of the 600-odd Orange county men consist of men who underwent physical examination a year ago and were tagged as "ready to go" in a potential 1-A class. Draftees will evidently be ordered to report for examinations and screening in early August. First inductees will be selected from the 25-age group, and if insufficient men are available in that group by August, the 24 age group will be tapped. Orange county is serviced by three boards, 133, 134 and 135, the latter covering the Anaheim area.

LONDON—Non-communist Europeans worried but said to believe U.S. will turn tide in Korea. TOKYO, Saturday, July 15 (AP)—Field dispatches early today reported intense artillery dueling across the Kum river and strong guerrilla raids behind the American lines, indicating that the big North Korean push to crack the river front might be at hand. One small North Korean red force, estimated at about 100 men, was credited by the field dispatches with having waded the low gravel bottomed river to the south bank of the Kum late Friday in the American left (west) flank. This force was brought under American artillery fire. General MacArthur's headquarters communique, issued at 3:10 a.m., (10:10 a.m., Friday, CDST), said "unofficial reports that the communist aggressors had achieved a bridgehead over the Kum river were not confirmed." It said, however, that the red forces have been successful in their mission. STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Sweden announced today it would send a Red Cross ambulance unit to South Korea. A foreign office spokesman said the South Korean Red Cross had requested this aid.
