THEODORE B. KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher WILLARD GREGORY City and Sports Editor HOWARD HALL News Editor MYLES BRADLEY Picture Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager RALPH BOULAND Classified Advertising Manager Marines return after 79 years News dispatches from the Korean front yesterday reported the arrival of United States Marines on Korean soil. Of some surprise to us was a story by the Associated Press Newsfeatures that the Marines who landed will not be the first Leathernecks to fight on Korean soil. Seventy-nine years ago a battalion of Marines, with the support of ships and sailors of the Asiatic fleet, won the two-day Battle of the Salce River Forts. It was the first time that soldiers of a western power had spent a night on Korean soil. The battle followed the alleged treacherous firing by Korean soldiers on an American party surveying the river. Asiatic Fleet Admiral John J. Rogers had obtained permission from Korean authorities to make navigation soundings. For several years prior to the 100th battle in which units of the Marine Corps, established in 1775, had participated. The Marines' first battle was during a raid on New Providence in the Bahamas on March 2, 1776. The first fighting by U. S. Marines took place on Sumatra, Feb. 7, 1832. Some 250 Marines and sailors defeated a band of Malay pirates in the Battle of Quallo Batoo. The Leathernecks' first fighting in China was at the Battle of Shanghai in April 1854. American and British Marines drove on Chinese Imperialist forces which had encroached on the foreign settlement in Shanghai. In the Spanish-American war the Marine corps had a force of only 75 officers and 2000 enlisted men. When the United States entered World War I the Marines had 511 officers and 13,000 men. of ships and sailors of the Asiatic fleet, won the two-day Battle of the Salce River Forts. It was the first time that soldiers of a western power had spent a night on Korean soil. The battle followed the alleged treacherous firing by Korean soldiers on an American party surveying the river. Asiatic Fleet Admiral John J. Rogers had obtained permission from Korean authorities to make navigation soundings. For several years prior to the Salee river fracas Koreans reportedly had mistreated American sailors and others shipwrecked on Korean shores. Some Americans were said to have been killed. In the spring of 1871 the United States Minister to China, Frederick Low, arranged a conference with Korean authorities looking to the protection of American citizens. Low enlisted the services of the Asiatic fleet, then in Japanese waters. Low boarded Admiral Rodger's flagship, the Colorado, and the squadron arrived off Salee river anchorage late in May. After an exchange of apparently friendly visits between Koreans and Americans, the river surveying expedition was launched. The surveying party was suddenly fired upon from the Korean forts and the beach. American gunboats steamed into action, returning the fire and rescuing the surveyors. Low and Rodgers demanded an explanation and reparations. The Koreans failing to give a satisfactory answer in 10 days, an expedition of gunboats with a Marine landing party and seven field pieces sailed up the river. The guns of the three Korean forts were silenced by fire from the American vessel. The following day a Marine battalion and a detachment of sailors, led by Capt. McLane Tilton, stormed and captured the forts. The Salee river engagement was The Leathernecks' first fighting in China was at the Battle of Shanghai in April 1854. American and British Marines drove on Chinese Imperialist forces which had encroached on the foreign settlement in Shanghai. In the Spanish-American war the Marine corps had a force of only 75 officers and 2000 enlisted men. When the United States entered World War I the Marines had 511 officers and 13,000 men, but during that war more than 31,000 Marines were sent overseas for service in the AEF. When the Nazis overran France in the summer of 1940 the Marines had an active force of about 28,000. By the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, volunteer enlistments had increased Marine strength to 66,000. The corps now has an active force of 74,000 and a reserve of about 90,000. Its peak strength in World War II, when it engaged in about 37 major campaigns and battles in the Pacific, was 486,000. The Marines pride themselves as being the possessors to a high degree of three military assets. These are their traditional fighting spirit, specialized skill in amphibious operations and constant state of readiness. Maj. Gen. M. H. Silverthorn, director of the Marine Reserve, said recently "the Marine corps does not aspire to have a second land army." "It is the readiness of the Fleet Marine Forces rather than their size which is the important consideration," he said. "They are capable of providing moderate-sized amphibious striking forces on short notice — forces which could well be of vital importance in the period of tension immediately preceding a war or in the early stages of a war when the country is not yet fully mobilized."

What O'Mahoney knew was Secretary Snyder has been bring an army of $1-a-year men back to Washington. One-dollar men are business executives who work for the government yet continue to keep their private business positions. They accept $1 a year from the government as a token payment, but continue to draw regular salaries from their own companies. Some of these men performed skilled and patriotic jobs for their country during World War II. But many, suffering from divided allegiance, seemed to be thinking more of their own companies than their government. And some deliberately came to Washington with the idea of feathering their own business nests. President Truman, when head of the Truman Investigating committee, saw a great deal of this nest-feathering by $1-a-year men and doesn't want it repeated. However, the Business Advisory council, a group of businessmen advising the Commerce Department, urges otherwise, and Secretary of Commerce Sawyer has backed them up. Today's column is by Larry A. Freeman, publisher of the National City News and president of the California Newspaper Publishers' association. By LARRY A. FREEMAN California's new population figures underscore several trends deserving attention of those interested in the well-being of this sprawling, growing coastal empire. It has passed the 10 million mark, making it even plainer that the job of telling the story of State Government and its countless influences on daily living is complex. Nevertheless it essential if the citizenry is to be informed. ters—away from the cities and farms. This trend was already evident in the past decade around metropolitan areas. Now it has spread to the smaller cities, which in many cases were started to learn they had fewer people within their borders than supposed. In a merchandising way it means a swing to dolled-up shopping centers in the easy-parking districts and smaller towns just outside the cities. Already merchants in these suburban centers are making plans to capture more of the trade from the thousands who live around their shops, the thousands who work in the nearby cities and formerly only slept in the suburbs. The so-called "Bedroom towns" have a new civic consciousness, are developing their own recreational facilities and making complete living possible within their borders. They are becoming "parlor, bedroom, and bath—and kitchen and patio" towns. As a result the suburban newspapers, growing with their communities, have become the mirrors of this new scheme of living, and likewise have a larger responsibility to tell the California story to their increasing family of readers. THEY CAN TOSS 'EM OVER LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gambler Mickey Cohen has asked zoning authorities for permission to erect a five and one-half foot steel fence around his home. Zoning regulations permit only three and one-half foot fences in his neighborhood—Brentwood. Cohen has had considerable trouble with bomb planters and pranksters. The latter have been tossing firecrackers onto Mickey's lawn. It wasn't a prankster who blew the front of his house away last year, though. DEATH TO A-SPIES WASHINGTON (AP) — tion of convicted atomic spy advocated today by Repive Brooks (D-La.). "The crime of murder is able by death," Brooks to porter.

What O'Mahoney knew was Secretary Snyder has been going against any stiff excesses tax, despite the fact that improved the most efficient ways of both holding down taxes and financing the last it is also one of the main issues in the control platform.

President Trudeau's won't want them, but some advisers are pressuring to California's new population figures underscore several trends deserving attention of those interested in the well-being of this sprawling, growing coastal empire. It has passed the 10 million mark, making it even plainer that the job of telling the story of State Government and its countless influences on daily living is complex. Nevertheless it essential if the citizenry is to be informed. In past years it was no easy task because the state is huge, and the interests of one section sometimes are greatly different from those of another. Today the job is harder because of the influx of people who do not know the Califronia story. Newspapers of the state have the power and opportunity thus to render outstanding service to the citizens. Through their columns can be told the story of California's government, its problems of water and taxes, how many services the people want to pay for, and many other phases of state affairs. It is a tremendous job, requiring know-how and generous use of space by the publishers. It will require more and more ingenuity and study—ingenuity because the story must be simple and terse, yet carry vividly the facts to the grass roots, study because of the ever increasing complexity of government. In turn the people have a responsibility to follow the story and express themselves when the time comes to vote or to exert a beneficial influence on legislation. Generally speaking, the population reports also show the trend in growth is to the suburban cen- Colony Quips Yesterday you read some things anent the lowering of prices on canned single strength citrus juices by the Exchange. This lowering was on grapefruit and grapefruit - orange blended juice. The price was lowered by the Exchange in the face of the fact that Florida and Texas would be out of the market by September 1. We hear that this is OK because the quality is low. The fruit having been processed after the late, lamented freeze just in time to save it from complete loss. What sounds fine. Maybe the alibi will stand up. We don't know. But poor juice sold at a low price gave the stuff a bad name years ago. It will today. It will also affect the sale of every citrus product. Even fresh valencias. Then last year must be remembered, too. The same story came out of the same place. There was too much canned single strength orange juice. Packing houses were cautioned not to pay out too much or by-products fruit. (Only Exchange houses mind you.) There was just no place to get rid of the "stuff" and the whole deal was sour. The Exchange single strength was a drug on the market. So it was sold at a discount—that is the Exchange's growers fruit was discounted. Who was it sold to, Julius? Well, er, hum, why yes, it was LEGAL NOTICES ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS Notice is hereby given that the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim School District of Orange County, hereafter referred to as the "Owner," will receive up to, but not later than 9:00 o'clock p.m., of the 17th day of August, 1950, sealed bids for the award to contract for construction of a California and Kindergarten Addition to the Lincoln School, located at New East Center Street, Anaheim, California.

(Pub. Anahem Gazette July 26, August 2, 8, 1950.) Packing houses were cautioned not to pay out too much or by-products fruit (Only Exchange houses mind you.) There was just no place to get rid of the "stuff" and the whole deal was sour. The Exchange single strength was a drug on the market. So it was sold at a discount—that is the Exchange's growers fruit was discounted. Who was it sold to, Julius? Well, er, hum, why yes, it was sold to a private canner, who operates his plants to make a profit—for himself. This plant has its headquarters in Santa Ana and could not, last year, can enough juice to fill its orders. So it bought Exchange canned juice "cheaper" and put its own label on the cans and sold it at a profit. Of course, as Mr. Wilcox said, the Exchange is operated to take care of the grower while these companies like Treesweet and Minute Maid are operated simply for a profit. How vulgar as they say on the radio. (Two a's please Mr. Linotyper.) When Mr. Wilcox uses the term "take care of" we wonder if he is using it in the Chicago Capone way? Gee, we're scared. The more we hear about this Orange set-up as it is practiced in California the more sick it makes us feel down in the middle. We had a caller this morning, a good Sunkist grower, and one of the thousands of new Gazette readers (Yes, didn't you know?) who had a new name to offer for his outfit: Alibis Unlimited. This, of course, is rank heresy and before we are jailed for treason we ask to make only one statement: We are sorry that we have only one paper to print this stuff in. Do you get what we mean? If you don't, just hang on and we will tell you sometime. DEATH TO A-SPIES WASHINGTON (P) — Execution of convicted atomic spies was advocated today by Representative Brooks (D-La). "The crime of murder is punishable by death," Brooks told a reporter. "And anyone who steals our atom bomb information and puts it into unfriendly hands is doing an act that probably will mean death for thousands." "That person or persons certainly deserve the death penalty." The Owner reserves the privilege of rejecting any and all bus or waive any irregularities or informalities in any bad or in the bidding. Trustant to the Labor Code of the State of California, the said Board of Trustees has ascertained the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft or type of workman needed to execute the contracts which will be awarded the successful bidders; and those prevailing rates are contained in sale specifications adopted by the Board, and are as follows: CLASSIFICATION: FOREMEN—All foremen not herein separately classified shall be paid not less than 17½ cents per hour as to the SIX BASIC TRADES, and 12½ cents per hour as to the SUB-TRADES, more than the journeyman rate for the craft involved.

Except as noted in the wage schedule there is no danger of a major conflict than there was two months ago. They reason that two months ago the Russians might have thought they could edge ahead without resistance. The Korean war has showed they can expect opposition. The fact that the Russians have not moved against Western Europe seems to mean to observers here that the Soviets do not want a big war. If they did, they could hardly pick a better time than now. The Americans are known to be telling the British and French—who must be the backbone of Western Europe's defense—that there's no use brooding about the scarcity of available opposition to any Russian attack that comes soon. What can be done, they are saying, is to get into shape in case the Russians decide to attack later. Students End Summer Courses More than 100 summer music students, ranging from the fourth to the tenth grade, wound up six successful weeks of training this week. The high school sponsored classes, dealing with the gamut of band and orchestra instruments, were under the direction of AUHS music instructor Bill Cook. Cook was aided by clarinetist John Wimber. The students ranged all the way from beginners to advanced in degree of experience. Those in the former group got well started toward participation in future activities. The latter utilized the summer session to keep musically fit for coming musical events at their various schools. At the close of the classes, students displayed their proficiency before parents in a program consisting of pieces learned and practiced during the past six weeks.
