VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim’s FIRST Newspaper ANAHE Nation at Glance House Votes To Restore Mail Delivery By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The House voted today to restore city mail service to two deliveries a day. It passed and sent to the Senate a bill ordering the Postoffice Department to cancel an April 17 order cutting city home deliveries to one daily and curtailing other services. A Senate committee has approved a companion bill. There is no assurance, though, that President Truman would not veto this bill, which would wipe out an order of one of his cabinet officers. The bill came up for a vote after 218 members signed a petition taking it from the rules committee, which had refused to approve it. The House knocked out a provision which in effect would have committed Congress to appropriate extra money, if necessary, to pay JUICY ART—Citrus and paper are the materials used in this man culture tent at the Orange County Fair. The exhibit is by the Cooperative Orange association. Here, Mrs. Marian Chandler touches on the display. Ceremonies Mark County Fair Opening With a colorful ribbon-cutting ceremony conducted by Lt. Gov. Goodwin J. Knight and stirring military music by El Toro's famed Marine Corps band, Orange County's annual fair opened its gates to the public this afternoon for a five-day run. Hundreds of visitors crowded the fair grounds early today as final touches added to the beauty of the hundreds of agricultural and other displays as fair officials predicted a record attendance for the five-day event. Opened to admiring throngs were 14 separate buildings formerly used by the Army Air Forces and in which displays of various types are offered. In two of the structures Orange County's junior farmers have colorful exhibits of home economics and other projects, with livestock entries in stalls adjacent. One of the outstanding spectacles, a mineral and gem show with displays worth more than $1,000,000 is in another. Agriculture, the fair's main attraction, not only has a huge central building where county and civic organizations have installed their larger exhibits, but also a vast tent in which are seen the citrus and avocado exhibits, plate displays in which individual growers of virtually every fruit, vegetable and grain grown in the country compete for prizes. As forecast by flower experts, the 9300-square-foot floriculture display was proving one of the major attractions as more than 70 growers of rare and beautiful plants and flowers exhibited a fairyland of color and perfume. Another big attraction, the Midway, promptly became a center of attraction for the children. A huge home show, a tent full of industrial exhibits, large live-stock rabbit and poultry displays.

SACRAMENTO (U.P.) — Californi Councilmen Pass Ordinance for Sewer Bond Vote Proposal for Anaheim's incurring bonded indebtedness amounting to $1,040,000 was officially scheduled for submission to local citizens as City Councilmen last night approved second reading of the ordinance calling for the Magnolia sewer bond vote. The ordinance set the date officially at September 18. Last night's meeting was classed as an adjourned one. First reading of the ordinance took place last Tuesday at the regular semi-monthly meeting of the City Council. The ordinance was passed last night by a four-fifths majority. Councilman Oscar Heying was absent from the proceedings. The entire proposition will be presented on the ballot. Broken down into its component parts, it includes appropriations for local sewer lines necessary to hook up with the Magnolia trunk, the Anaheim share in the additions and enlargements to sewage treatment plant and chlorination plant, and reconstruction and replacement of present outfall sewer facilities which have fallen into disrepair. Other participating cities and sanitary districts are scheduled to follow the same plan as the city of Anaheim. They are Fullerton, Orange, and the sanitary districts of Placentia, Garden Grove, Buena Park and La Habra. As forecast by flower experts, the 9300-square-foot floriculture display was proving one of the major attractions as more than 70 growers of rare and beautiful plants and flowers exhibited a fairyland of color and perfume. Another big attraction, the Midway, promptly became a center of attraction for the children. A huge home show, a tent full of industrial exhibits, large livestock, rabbit and poultry displays, a fine arts exhibit, home economics, scores of new agricultural implements and many other displays are to be seen on the 75-acre fair site.

ORANGE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD ANAHEIM GAZETE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1950 B-29s Smash As North Korea Back Across Bombers Fight Ground Troops For First Time A U. S. Bomber Base, Japan, (AP) —B-29 crews came back from their biggest bombing raid of the Korean war today, saying: 'We hope, by God, we were able to do something for the guys on the ground.' They had. The bombers had just smashed a 26-square mile area containing up to 60,000 red soldiers in a Ground Troops For First Time A U.S. Bomber Base, Japan, (P)—B-29 crews came back from their biggest bombing raid of the Korean war today, saying: 'We hope, by God, we were able to do something for the guys on the ground.' They had. The bombers had just smashed a 26-square mile area containing up to 60,000 red soldiers in a corridor 3½ miles wide and 7½ miles long just northwest of Waegwan. The Army wanted to chop off the threatened communist advance toward Taegu and the southeast before it could get started. The Army called on the Air Force for a B-29 saturation raid on the section where the reds were massing for attack—a tactical battlefront mission instead of the big bombers' customary long-range strategic effort in the red rear. It was the first time B-29s had ever been asked to give closeup mass support to ground forces. It was the first time the deadly graceful silver giants had ever been ordered to go and blanket an area in a direct strike at enemy troops. When it was all over the pilots and bombardiers didn't know whether they had done any good. They had hit the target right on the nose, and knew that. Results were uniformly reported as "excellent." "But that means we dropped all our bombs and hit the assigned area," one Air Force officer said. "But it doesn't mean we killed Gooks because we just didn't know whether they were there." Before the operation, Maj. Gen. Emmet (Rosie) O'Donnell, chief of the Far East Bomber Command, said: "We don't know whether this is going to do any good. We hope it will. Anyway we think it worth a try." The big show started before dawn. Out on the field the ground crews were making last-minute checks on the mighty planes—testing motors, checking machine-guns, inspecting the bomb loads. Suddenly it was time to go aboard—just about 6:30 a.m. Child Struck By Automobile Five persons were hurt, two having major injuries, in a series Council Denies Solicitor Bid City Councilmen last night denied a petition of the National Spastic-Paralysis Fund to solicit funds in the City of Anaheim. Prior to turning down the request, Councilmen heard a report from Chief of Police Mark A. Stephenson which outlined a denial of the same request by the city of Santa Ana earlier this year. Stephenson's report indicated that Santa Ana refused the petitioners because (A) overhead soliciting expenses topped the ten per cent allowed by Santa Ana ordinance; (B) there were conflicts with the state—operated, free-admission Carl Harvey School for handicapped children; and (C) the National Spastic-Paralysis Fund institution is privately owned and a charge is made for services to students in attendance. In the petition to the Anaheim Council last Tuesday night, representatives called the group a nonprofit corporation dedicated to training and caring for spastic and paralyzed children. Tentative plans of the group were to conduct a telephone and house-to-house solicitation program for several weeks in Anaheim.

SOUTHEAST KOREAN FRONT—U.S. Army officer says American combat troops have captured Soviet-made weapons and ammunition manufactured in 1950. The Russians said recently at Lake Success that they have not provided arms to the North Koreans since 1948, when their occupation forces withdrew from the area north of the 38th Parallel. TOKYO, Thursday (AP) — Red Korean troops were reported retreating in panic across the Naktong river Wednesday under bombing of 98 American B-29s. The bomber smash was probably just short of atomic explosive power in concentrated effect. It was aimed at breaking the back of a 60,000-man North Korean offensive buildup along the river. Front dispatches said Waegwan, focal point of the war 12 miles northwest of Taegu, was a gutted no-man-land—too hot and too vulnerable a target for anyone to hold long. AP Correspondent Hal Boyle said that after the B-29 saturation bombing a First Cavalry Division tank clattered into the ruined city to look it over. The tank engaged one communist tank on the city's edge and knocked it out, and chased another northward. Boyle said the North Koreans have a force in the hills north of the city where they are able to (Continued on Page 5).

As witness, check the records at the two locations in town where locals young and old are currently getting instructions; polishing up on aquatic techniques or learning new water tricks. One is the City Park Plunge. There youngsters of junior high and grade school age are getting first class instructions in the fundamentals of swimming. This younger phase is a Recreation Department operation. You've already heard about the record breaking crowd of students in attendance. The other is the High school, as yet unsung this summer. But no longer so. The plunge activities there, under the joint sponsorship of the Anaheim Union High school, the Red Cross and the Recreation Department are producing some first class aquatic specialists. In contrast to the City Park program, activities at AUHS plunge are more varied and more advanced. Here a series of five day a week classes take on students from the intermediate stage on up and improve on their present swimming abilities, inculcate more knowledge.
