Company K Called (Continued from Page 1) in both non-commissioned and commissioned ranks. "Our plans for the usual two-week summer training encampment at Camp San Luis Obispo, originally scheduled for August 13-27 have been cancelled." Camp Cooke is near Santa Maria. The Division draws from the area from Santa Barbara south to the Mexican border. The latest figure on the Division's strength, released several weeks ago was 10,000. The present figure was not released for security reasons. The 40th has served in Korea before and, in fact, was virtually demobilized in the now embattled country late in 1945. The division originally was organized at Camp Kearney near San Diego in 1917 in World War I. Many of its men saw service in France. The 40th was demobilized in 1919. In 1926 it was reorganized in the National Guard, with troops from California, Nevada and Utah. It was called to active duty in World War II on March 3, 1941, then under command of Maj. Gen. Walter P. Story of Los Angeles. Shortly after the war's outbreak the Division went to Hawaii. It was the island garrison for several months. Later the 40th was sent to Guadalcanal, staging there for action in New Guinea. The bulk of its World War II fighting was in the Philippines where the Division liberated the islands of Panay.

The bulk of its World War II fighting was in the Philippines where the Division liberated the islands of Panay and Negros, and participated in fighting around Manila. After hostilities ceased the 40th went to Korea as part of the original occupation contingent. The men returned to this country late in 1945 and early in 1946.

California Taxpayers' association reported today. Of the total expenditures budgeted, $615,132 was for construction of primary roads and bridges and $252,629 was for construction of secondary roads and bridges. In addition, $417,007 was budgeted for maintenance of roads and bridges and $89,328 was set up for administration and engineering. Funds for acquisition, etc., were also included in the total budget.

Hennings, also a lawyer, served three terms in the U.S. House. He was a Naval officer in World War II. In the campaign he attacked what he called "Pendergastism" and his managers criticized the president's "intervention" in the primary. Control of the party organizations was involved in the Kansas voting. In the Republican primary voters chose between Gov. Frank Carson and Harry W. Colmery. Topeka and Washington attorney and former National Commander of the American Legion, for the Senate nomination. Senator Harry Darby, filling a vacancy by appointment, is not running. The fight for control lay chiefly, however, in the governorship race between Willard Mayberry, racher and weekly newspaper publisher, and Edward E. Arnold state attorney general. Alf M. Landon, former governor and 1936 presidential candidate supported Mayberry, Landon's former private secretary. The Carlson-Darby forces backed Arn. The latter combination won over London two years ago for control of the Kansas delegation to the GOP National convention. NEW YORK — An advancing Stock Market gradually built up momentum today. Steel auto railway airline and chemical issues were in the forefront most of the time. Gain ranged to around $2 a share though most were around $1 o.less.

Business picked up considerably after Mondays sluggish session with turnover at the rate of about 1,800,000 shares for the full day. An element of caution was apparent in trading as investors and speculators waited for war control legislation to reach final shape.

Center Anaheim WASHINGTON — President Truman told Congress today that world peace has been endangered by the Korean crisis and asked it to vote quickly $4,000,000,000 of new money to arm anti-communist allies. Speed in getting production of military equipment under way is imperative, the president said in a letter to House Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex.) formally asking for the money. Mr. Truman added: "It is now clear that the free nations must accelerate the efforts they are making to strengthen their common security. "They now have no alternative but to increase rapidly their preparedness to defend the principles of international law and justice for which the United Nations stands. This course provides the best hope of deterring future calculated outbreaks against the peace of the world." A Democratic primary scrap testing President Truman's support power in Missouri and Senate-Governor tussles in Kansas drew national attention in primaries today in four states. Virginia and West Virginia held House primaries only, the latter state giving top billing to a come-back bid by former Democratic Senator Rush D. Holt, "Baby Senator" of the 1930's, seeking a House nomination as a Republican. Democratic voters in the president's home state of Missouri, in picking a Senate nominee, had as their main choices State Senator Emery W. Allison, of Rolla, and Thomas C. Hennings, Jr., a former U.S. Representative from St. Louis. Allison had the backing of Mr. Truman, Gov. Forrest Smith, and the James M. Pendergast organization in Kansas City. He is a sus was that the powers should be on a standby basis, with the president having authority to put them into effect when he thinks they are needed." Business picked up considerably after Mondays sluggish session, with turnover at the rate of about 1,800,000 shares for the full day. An element of caution was apparent in trading as investors and speculators waited for war control legislation to reach final shape. The approaching argument over admission of communist China to the United Nations also tended to curb enthusiasm. Junior Fair Head—Elgin L.

Anaheim's August Dollar Days, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 4 and 5. All the Comforts of Television —But with NEW Motion Pictures Drive-in theatres provide many extra benefits to the movie-goer, young and old alike. Let's take the youngsters first: The infant can be taken along in the family car, with the back seat his bassinette; the bottle-warming service just a few feet away in the snack bar. The older children are provided with supervised playgrounds where that excess energy can be worked off without wearing out mother and dad. The cartoon is always shown first, usually followed by a picture with the most appeal for children. Mother's benefits are numerous —she doesn't have to worry about being in a house dress, with her hair in curlers—she can remain in the privacy of her own car if she chooses. There is sufficient variety in the foods available at the snack bar so the entire family can make the movie a picnic outing and mother doesn't even have to cook dinner before leaving home. Dad enjoys all these benefits also, plus two more mighty important points—no parking problem and, best of all, a low admission price for himself and wife and no charge whatsoever for the children. The older folks get a break at the drive-in theatre too. If you are inclined to "take it easy," you have to move only twice to go to a drive-in theatre—once when you get in the car as you leave the house and again to get out of the car when you arrive back home.

"It took me out of the boiler shop," he began face-tiously, then added with a more serious note, "it made me lots of money, lots of friends, and a reputation of which I am proud." Reardon drew chuckles from the audience with the remark that he never learned to count above four, indicating that it wasn't necessary for an umpire to know any higher figures, but later mentioned salaries ranging up to $2000 a week. Cites Honors He cited two honors, stemming from his years in baseball of which he is proudest. One was his picture on the front cover of the Saturday Evening Post a year ago. The other was an appearance on the radio show "This is Your Life" during which his record as an umpire was reviewed. "Other tributes have been paid me," he said, "but I rate these two the highest." Reardon was introduced to the audience by Vic Ruedy, manager of the Anaheim Junior Legion baseball squad. Ruedy recalled occasions years back when Reardon was called in to umpire local baseball games: "We used to pay him more than the players in those days." Ruedy told the audience. Anaheim Post Commander Bud Johnson introduced local digniaries on the guest list last night. They included Anaheim Councilmen Robert Boney, Oscar Heying, L. N. "Pete" Wisser and Ray Van Waggoner.

Los Angeles police have substituted balloons for linewalking as a sobriety test for erring drivers. After the suspect puffs into a balloon, officers attach it to three tubes containing a purple chemical solution. If the fluid turns white within 39 seconds, you're drunk, say police.
