Banquet Sets Stage for Legion Baseball Tourney For Story of Tournament Drawing see Page 2 The lucky ticket holders really got their money’s worth last night at the Pre-Tournament banquet staged by the 21st district Posts as a prelude to the Fifth Annual American Legion Junior Baseball Tournament which gets under way Saturday, August 5 for a three-week session. For the baseball bugs, it was a night to remember. They saw a lot of dignitaries. They saw the Angels’ Bobby Sturgeon. They saw eminent members of the Southland Press. But most of all, they saw and heard Beans Reardon. Feature Attraction Reardon, retired National League was billed as the feature attraction on last night's program. And he didn’t let the customers down. People came expecting stories of baseball past and present and that is what they got. Drawing on a quarter-century experience of umping, which included six world series contests and three all-star games, Reardon, now a Long Beach businessman, had the audience alternately silent with admiration and roaring with laughter as he barked out his stories of big and little leaguers one after another. He likened himself to Dizzy Dean in the way that he “murdered the King’s English.” It was an apt comparison. In clipped, ungrammatical English, he paraded baseball notables before dinner guests at the Legion hall. Ted Williams, Dizzy Dean, Walker and Morton Cooper, Leo Durocher, Jimmy Wilson, major presidents Will Harridge and Ford Frick—these and many more were characterized in Reardon’s reminiscences. Mention of an in dividual was brief but Blaze Destroys Barn in Stanton Monday Night Fire trucks raced into Stanton again last night for the second time in as many days, after fire had broken out in a barn at 7791 Cerritos ave. Valued at $500, the structure was razed to the ground before firemen from West Anaheim and Sun Garden village could extinguish the blaze. No cause was determined. Reported at 10:24 p.m. by Marvin Hughes, a passing motorist, the fire was visible from all parts of the town and again drew large crowds of spectators. Property was owned by Keith Drew, owner of Lakewood Pharmacy. A house on the front of the property, recently vacated, was in some danger during fire fighting operations. Orange trees of the adjoining grove were also damaged. The property is presently under option to the Savannah School district as the proposed site of the new Savanna school, for which the school board is scheduled to hold a special election on August 15 to authorize $600,000 loan.

Orange County's Draft Quota Set At 186 Men The draft call for preinduction physical examinations in Orange county has been increased from 124 to 186 men. Col. Kenneth H. Leitch, state Selective Service director, made this announcement after advice from Washington requested an additional 50,000 men for the nation. Colonel Leitch said the state's call up of 600 men to get 1,187 for induction in September has been increased to 9000 men to get a total of 2968, who will be delivered to the Army during the last week in September.

Ted Williams, Dizzy Dean, Walker and Morton Cooper, Leo Durocher, Jimmy Wilson, major presidents Will Harridge and Ford Frick—these and many more were characterized in Reardon's reminiscences. Mention of an individual was usually brief but at the same time it was revealing, leaving the average listener with the feeling that he had met the subject of a particular story first hand. High Praise Reardon had high praise for some of the baseball personalities with whom he came in contact. One of these was Ted Williams. "What do you think of Ted Williams," a member of the audience asked. "A lot of people don't understand Ted," Reardon replied. "He's hard to know and to figure out. Actually he wants just to be let alone—like Greta Garbo. Ted Williams is a great fellow." And Reardon had something less than praise for other baseball luminaries. In such cases, he labelled his man and gave vent to his feelings in no uncertain terms. The judgments were delivered in much the same fashion that he would utilize in ejecting a man from a ball game. And the implication was, more often than not, that is what happened in a number of instances with the individuals concerned. Summing up his years of as- (Continued on page 5) Property was owned by Keith Drew, owner of Lakewood Pharmacy.

Citrus Association Favors Ceilings on Fruit Distribution POMONA (AP)—The California Citrus Producers association has endorsed the Bernard Baruch plan for immediate price and wage controls, and favors a similar plan for the citrus industry. The association, representing 10 per cent of California citrus growers, passed a resolution yesterday favoring immediate reenactment of ceilings for distribution of citrus fruit. Copies of the resolution were forwarded to the Senate and House Agricultural committees, to the Senate Banking and Currency committee and to California Representatives and Senators. Anaheim's August Dollar Days, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 4 and 5. Col. Kenneth H. Leitch, State Selective Service director, made this announcement after advice from Washington requested an additional 50,000 men for the nation. Colonel Leitch said the state's call up of 600 men to get 1,187 for induction in September had been increased to 9000 men to get a total of 2968, who will be delivered to the Army during the last week in September. Those who qualify in the physicals will be on call for the October induction, which Leitch said he expects to total approximately 3000 more men on the basis of the present required needs of the Army. The Colonel said he has no estimate on the number of men who will be called for pre-induction physicals during September for October induction as there is no way of knowing at the present time how many of the 9000 will qualify. Anaheim's Com SACRAMENTO (AP) — Here's what Governor Warren said today of the calling up of the 40th Division of California's National Guard: "California is proud to have been called to the service of our country in this manner. It is a tribute to the officers and enlisted men of our National Guard. "They are ready, able and willing. "I am convinced that our National Guard, which has served notably since 1849, will again..."

Voting for the increase, barbers point out that they have the price line now for more than five years, but that in the if recurrent increased rents, supply and general living costs, can no longer afford to do so. Failure of the government to through repeal of excise taxes on barber supplies also means type of lessened expenses, it was added. Wilson stated at the time that barbers now earn about $60 takehome pay for a week—less than many types of common laborers.

Green's remarks were in a speech prepared for delivery at the convention of the New York State Federation of Labor. He began with a forceful expression of labor's support of U.S. action in Korea. "As much as we hate war," he said," we hate oppression more." He said labor is convinced that if there is any hope for world peace it lies in the prompt attainment of overwhelming military superiority by America and her Allies, because force is the only language Russia understands.

Malik returned to the United Nations today, ending a 7-month boycott, and was beaten down in an attempt to rule the Chinese Nationalists out of the Security Council. This was the first ruling of the Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister as August president of the council. Malik declared the Chinese Nationalist delegation in the Security Council to be "usurpers," sitting in seats belonging to the communist regime of Mao Tze-Tung. U.S. Delegate Warren R. Austin immediately challenged Malik's ruling. The council's 11 members backed up Austin, 8-3.

LAKE SUCCESS—Western Nations feel sure they can defeat Soviet move in Security Council to put Chinese representation ahead of Korean situation. WASHINGTON — Four of 27 National Guard divisions and some smaller units under orders to join federal forces. TOKYO, Wednesday, Aug. 2 (AP)—North Korean red forces, exerting heavy pressure in the south, today pushed to within 40 miles of Pusan, U.S. base in southeast-Korea. Fresh American troops were pouring ashore and moving up to the front. One unit was the 5th Regimental combat team from Hawaii. General MacArthur in his Wednesday morning Korean summary, said the heavy red pressure covered the southern front. But the hardest blows came in Kochang area, where the communists were trying to break through to Taegu, South Korean emergency capitol. They were about 32 miles southwest of Taegu. A frontline dispatch from Don Whitehead, Associated Press correspondent in Korea, placed the reds' southern thrust 15 miles west of Masan, on the south coast 25 air miles from Pusan. The MacArthur summary, issued a few hours after the United Nations commander returned from Formosa to Tokyo, said U.N. troops were attacking the reds around Hongdok on the east coast. U.S. pilots reported the communists in positions 1500 yards north of the wrecked city. "It is possible that friendly forces have again forced entry into that port city," MacArthur's summary said. The Front The MacArthur release described the front as running roughly from one mile south of Yongdok to seven miles northwest of Andong to 10 miles southwest of Sangju, one mile southeast of (Continued on page 5) Handout Tour Nets Jail Term Active Duty We have been authorized to quit to full war strength," Gen.

I do not over-emphasize that yet and others enlisting now will be the first crack at promotion. This was the first ruling of the Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister as August president of the council. Malik declared the Chinese Nationalist delegation in the Security Council to be "usurpers," sitting in seats belonging to the communist regime of Mao Tze-Tung. U.S. Delegate Warren R. Austin immediately challenged Malik's ruling. The council's 11 members backed up Austin, 8-3. Voting to back Malik's ruling were Russia, Yugoslavia and India. Voting to overthrow the ruling were the United States, Britain, France, Nationalist China, Cuba, Norway, Ecuador and Egypt. Malik announced that seven "plus the Kuomintang group" had voted against his ruling. Malik came back to preside over the first Council session he had attended since last January 13 when he walked out in protest against the presence of the Chinese Nationalist delegation. Before returning Malik made it clear that he would insist upon action on the China recognition question before he would enter discussions on the Korean peace. The United States delegation was prepared to oppose this Soviet proposal vigorously. A spokesman said the United States felt strongly that the business before the Council should continue to be the question of aggression against South Korea and not the China representation issue. The American delegation worked late last night preparing for contingencies. Anaheim's August Dollar Days, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 4 and 5. Handout Tour Nets Jail Term It may be summertime in Anaheim and the living may be easy for some folks, but it isn't free. That's what Roy Patterson, 63, Los Angeles found out this morning when he drew six months in the county jail for vagrancy, following conviction in the Anaheim City Court. Anaheim police first learned of the local sponging tour at 5 p.m. yesterday. Ralph Selaya, 514 E. Cypress, phoned in that a man had come by his house asking for money. Officer Vipond checked but couldn't find anybody answering to the given description. Police later heard of a man of similar description requesting a shave at the home of Russell Renner, 729 No. Clementine. Again the subject vanished. Finally, shortly before 8 p.m., Mrs. Helen G. Nelson, 741 No. Clementine, called to report that an individual stopped by her place and promoted himself a meal. Sgt. Hoxie and Officer Rogers went to the location and apprehended Patterson shortly after he left the Nelson residence. With the next stop the county jail, the living may be free, in a sense, but it's unlikely that it will be easy.
