Outfit Eyes 'Sunkist' By Gazette Fairy Editor A strong rumor is gold around in the upper reaches—the citrus industry that a large New York outfit is out to bake the name "Sunkist" for use in frozen concentrate. The Gazette reported to you some three ago that the California Fruit Growers Exchange, while spending millions of dollars of growers money to advertise "Sunkist" on oranges, did not own the right to use the popular trademark on anything cannery. It was also exclusively reported in this newspaper that some years ago the rights for using "Sunkist" on cans could have been acquired for a nominal sum but after spectacular acceptance by consumers of cannot frozen concentrate the right to use "Sunkist" on cans will not cost several millions. This, in the opinion of many citrus men, is one of the biggest "boots" made by any organization in the citrus business. Another angle of this rumor which comes from a high place source, has it that the "E Boys" on Fifth street (in Los Angeles) have just about made up their minds that they would have to get into the act. They are now supposed to be out tr Art Cruse, Vice-Supporter of Noble Grand; William Young, Left-Supporter of Noble Grand; Earl Howard, Right-Supporter of Vice-Grand; William Shawhan, Left-Supporter to Vice-Grand and Right Scene Supporter; H. L. Burns, Left Scene Supporter; Arch Bembrooks, Inside Guardian; Clinton Nelson, Outside Guardian, and Captain of the Degree Staff. Degrees Conferred The initiation teams conferred initiatory degrees on both candidates from Cypress Lodge No. 77 and Orange Lodge No. 225. After the ceremony, a recess was called and the Rebekahs and friends were invited to hear the Grand Master's message. The following honored guests were present: Grand Master Ross R. Rittenhouse; Senior Past Grand Master Harry B. Dahlem; Junior Past Grand Master Charles E. Hicks; Past Grand Patriarch Henry Mang; Grand Guardian of the Grand Lodge Earl Chandler; New Visiting Hours Revealed for City's Pioneer Memorial New hours for the recently-dedicated Marle Horstman Dwyer Pioneer Memorial on N. West st. were announced today by Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer. The group of historic structures, which includes the Mother Colony house, the ornate Peter Stoffel house, and a restored vineyard barn, will be open to the public from 2:00 to 4:00 on Thursday and Sunday afternoons. The Dwyers or other attendants will be on hand during those hours to answer questions or guide tours. The large collection of the relics of pioneer Anaheim will be found on display in all three buildings. Man Knifed in Pre-Dawn Fracas A knife battle brought on by implications that one man was paying too much attention to another man's wife resulted in knife wounds for the alleged interloper early this morning. Ignacio Godoy, 42, 1078 Kemp street, was slashed on the arm and wrist and stabbed near the left kidney in the pre-dawn brawl. Jose E. Torres 25, 305 Juliana, was scheduled to appear in City Court this afternoon on charges of battery. The fight took place in front of the Torres residence. Police officers B. F. Wilson and Sam Snodgrass answered the call and took the wounded Godoy to the Anaheim Community hospital. Godoy told them of the fight and named Torres as the assailant. Confronted with the story by the officers, Torres acknowledged the knife play and surrendered the weapon, according to the officers' report. Venezuela Quake Kills 16 Persons CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) Earthquakes that hit west Venezuela last night killed 16 persons and injured at least 70 others in Tocuyo, near Barquisimeto, capital of Lara state. The figure was given by the National Telecommunications office which revised an earlier estimate of 100 deaths in Tocuyo, a co-exporting center with a population of 7000. The office said there would be heavy property damage and considerable loss of life in the quarrel area, and that the casualty figures could be expected to mount with a more accurate roundup of quiz effects. Approximately 80 per cent of the homes were destroyed in Tocuyo. Homeless were moved to Barquisimeto. Planes with medical supplies, doctors and nurses were flown to Barquisimeto. Temperatures The thermometer reading downtown Anaheim at 2:20 the afternoon was 80 degrees. High temperature for the 24 hour period (ending at noon today) was 85 degrees at 4:00 p.m. yesterday. Low was 63 at 1 a.m. today. Nation at Glance Soviet Asks U.S. Withdraw From Korea By The Associated Press LAKE SUCCESS—Russia today demanded the immediate withdrawal of United States and all other foreign troops from Korean soil as part of a two-point Soviet "peace" proposal. It asked the Security Council to hear both the North and South Koreans, and threatened to exercise its veto power unless the council hears the North Koreans. A Soviet resolution was laid before the 11-nation Security Council by Jakob A. Malik as a counter to a United States proposal designed to prevent the spread of the fighting to other areas. "The issue," Malik said, "is whether the Security Council will adopt a decision for peace or for war." The brief Soviet resolution pro- Reds Bring U As Drive On I Both Sides A 600 Reds Die In Attack on American Unit By DON WHITEHEAD ON THE SOUTHERN KOREAN FRONT (AP) — American troops counted more than 600 enemy dead today after a battle that shattered the spearhead of an enemy drive on the southern port city of Ma- A Soviet resolution was laid before the 11-nation Security Council by Jakob A. Malik as a counter to a United States proposal designed to prevent the spread of the fighting to other areas. "The issue," Malik said, "is whether the Security Council will adopt a decision for peace or for war." The brief Soviet resolution provided for: 1. Immediate cessation of hostilities in Korea and withdrawal of all foreign troops. 2. Inviting representatives of red China and the Korean people to take part in U.N. peace negotiations. Malik made it clear he would veto the U.S. proposal by pointing out that he regarded the issue as a matter of substance. (This means it can be killed if any one of the five big powers vote against it.) WASHINGTON—The Agriculture Department expects prices of meat—particularly pork and the better grades of beef—to decline in the fall. In a report on the livestock situation, the department said output of meat is now at the year's low level, but that it should increase considerably in the October-December quarter. The prospective increase in supplies, the agency said, should pull prices down from current peaks, but not as low as a year ago. "Strengthening consumer demand due to increased defense programs may limit some of the seasonal decline in prices associated with increased fall marketings of meat animals," the report said. WASHINGTON — The House today junked its mandatory wage and price curb bill and started over on the job of writing an economic control measure. Beginning with the limited controls President Truman has asked, the House added an anti-hoarding provision as its first step in trying to put together a new and broader bill. Approved 112 to 46, this would make hoarders subject to a year in prison and a $10,000 fine. The mandatory wage-price bill—providing for ceilings to go on automatically if living costs rise 5 per cent above the level of June 15—was denounced yesterday by President Truman. He called it an invitation for a five per cent rise. The house threw it out on a standing vote of 172 to 161 on which the members were not recorded by name. The idea had been tentatively approved yesterday. 600 Hours Die In Attack on American Unit By DON WHITEHEAD ON THE SOUTHERN KOREAN FRONT (P) — American troops counted more than 600 enemy dead today after a battle that shattered the spearhead of an enemy drive on the southern port city of Masan. The battle was yesterday morning. But not until today was the magnitude of the victory discovered. The fight forced the North Koreans to withdraw. It delayed their build-up for the important push toward Masan, on the highway to the main American port of Pusan. In a bitter four-hour battle, the 27th Regimental Combat team, led by Lt. Col. John "Mike" Michaelis of Lancaster, Pa., virtually wiped out an entire enemy regiment. Red Commander Killed The red colonel in command of the operation was killed. The enemy's attack was first assessed as a raid in force on an artillery battery near the regimental command post. It caught the Americans by surprise. Michaelis' first battalion had returned only the night before from an armored raid 22 miles behind enemy lines. The men, dog-tired, were sleeping around the regimental command post. The enemy slipped down from the hills and through the rice paddies. They ran into the Americans. The battle raged through the hills and rice paddies eight miles west of Masan, about 25 miles from Pusan. This is the way it happened, Michaelis said after reconstructing the fight from questioning prisoners and finding enemy dead strewn through rice fields, a battered village and on the ridges: About 250 reds slipped down a draw. They bumped into the entire American battalion which had fought its way from behind enemy lines only a few hours before. That was about 7 a.m. American bakers, mechanics, drivers, everyone around the headquarters company, got into the fight. The reds brought up another 600 troops at 9 a.m. They came along a back road on trucks and piled out not far from the command post. Artillery Fire The artillery battery near the command post turned point-blank fire on the communists from its big 155s. The Americans hastily Dr. 'Ted' Palmquist Will Speak At Sunday Evening Union Service Dr. Theodore Henry Palmquist, minister of the great Wilshire Methodist Church in Los Angeles, speaking on the topic, "Faith, Hope and High Explosives," is to be guest speaker at the union outdoor evening service in the Greek Theater in City Park on Sunday evening at 7 p.m. Sponsored by the Anaheim Association of Christian Churches, the program is the fifth in a series of 10 varied and popular-type services conducted weekly at the twilight hour. Eight hundred persons attended the service last Sunday night. "Ted" Palmquist as he is familiarly known to thousands of young people across America who have called upon him repeatedly to address college convocations and high school assemblies, is one of the youngest "big church" ministers on the Pacific Coast. Having already served large congregations in San Francisco and Fresno, he was appointed four years ago to the pastorate of this fashionable church on "the fabulous boulevard;" the "Fifth Avenue of Los Angeles." His popular preaching and his program have made Wilshire Church grow to be one of the fastest-growing churches in the west, and to undertake an expansion program at a cost of a quarter of a million dollars. Dr. Palmquist has traveled throughout Europe and America, and he has probably officiated at the weddings of more distinguished personalities than any man in the southland. Rev. Daniel Miller of the Wesley Methodist Church will preside and introduce Dr. Palmquist. Music will be provided by the Grace Lutheran Church; and ushers will be supplied from White Temple Methodist Church.

LAKE SUCCESS — Security NORTH KOREANS today are bringing up two new divisions to bolster their attack toward Pusan. The assault was blunted in the area of heaviest fighting shown by the arrows at Chinju. Newly reinforced American troops are battling savagely to stem the tide (open arrow). Red forces are pounding United Nations lines at burning Kumchon (underlined) on the central Korean front in an all-out effort to grab Taegu, key rail and highway center. Class A Court Action Filed The Orange County Valencia assn., has brought an action of writ of mandamus in Superior Court, Santa Ana, to compel Anaheim Justice John Shea to accept and file an action against Elise Britz involving more than $800. The suit is scheduled to force the issue of a Class A court for Anaheim township. The Anaheim township justice court presently is listed as a Class B court. It's jurisdiction is limited to cases involving up to $300. The court's classification is based on a township population. Townships with a population over 10,000 are eligible for a Class A court. Since Anaheim township's population was placed at some 42,000 by the recent Census, the town- Anaheim School Board’s Budget Set at $414,957 A $414,957 budget for the fiscal year 1950-51 was adopted last night at a meeting of Anaheim elementary school board. It represented an increase of $22,047 over last year's budget. The increase is not expected to cover spiraling costs, however, and further dips into reserve funds will probably be necessitated, according to Superintendent M. A. Gauer. Last year the school went $13,-100 “in the red” and with only an estimated $378,200 in income expected this year, it appears that as much as $20,000 more will be needed to meet estimated expenses.

By The Associated Press TOKYO, Saturday, Aug. 5, (P)—North Korean invaders, checked by a sharp American counterattack at the southwest corner of the South Korean front, were reported bringing up two new divisions today for their determined push on Pusan, the all-important port 55 miles to the east. The Americans, newly reinforced by elements of the First Marine and Second Infantry divisions, confronted continuing heavy pressure in their struggle to maintain their foothold in Korea. General MacArthur's headquarters summary, issued at 12:10 a.m. today (6:10 a.m. Friday, PCST), placed the fighting scene along an arc running from 20 miles southeast to 11 miles east to 15 miles northeast of Chinju. 600 RED DEAD It said in that area alone 600 enemy dead had been estimated after the hot battle of Thursday. Front-line dispatches, covering later information, placed the scene of the American counterattack (Continued on page 5) Commission Asks Retention of Express Office Retention of Anaheim's Railway Express office was indicated in an official manner today when Mayor Charles Pearson received a letter from Public Utilities Mother, Children Hurt in Crash An Anaheim mother and her three children were injured yesterday when their car collided with another at the intersection of Orangethorpe and Highway 101. Treated at the Fullerton hospital were Mrs. Garnet Moor, 37, 824 South Philadelphia, her two sons, Robert, 8, and Michael, 7, and daughter Linda 2. Mrs. Moor suffered arm and back injuries in the crash. Robert received jaw injuries and loosened teeth. Linda sustained cuts about the head. Michael was shaken up tightly. The driver of the second car, Louis Mael, 32, La Habra, escaped hurt. Grow with a Growing Community Commission Asks Retention of Express Office Retention of Anaheim's Railway Express office was indicated in an official manner today when Mayor Charles Pearson received a letter from Public Utilities Commission Director of Transportation Warren K. Bowen advising that the commission has "requested" the Railway Express company to suspend the Notice of Closing. Here is the text of Bowen's letter: To Mayor Pearson: "Acknowledgement is made of your telegram of July 31, 1950, addressed to Commissioner Justus Craemer protesting the closing of the Railway Express office. "The company has been requested to suspend the Notice of Closing and, if it desires to proceed, to file a formal application." The filing of an application would lead to calling of public hearing to determine sentiment on the proposed closure. Indications yesterday at a meeting of the Retail Merchants Division of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce were that Railway Express company officials had already decided to keep the office open, following the barrage of protests that occurred shortly after the notice was posted. Mayor Pearson's telegram to the Public Utilities was one of 40 addressed the group by local businessmen. In addition 600 Anaheimers signed a petition protesting closure of the office. A battle to prevent closing of the Railway Express office in Orange was recently waged and won by businessmen in that city.
