Mrs. Marsh, who works at the Rent Decontrol Brings Mixed Reaction "Should have happened long ago." "It's not right." "Property owners have it coming to them." "Rents are high enough as they are." These statements represent the cross-section of reactions to decontrol of rents in Anaheim as determined by a Gazette sidewalk survey yesterday afternoon. Decontrol notice was announced by Housing Expediter Tighe Woods who finally o.k'd the city's long-fostered petition. As of yesterday the ceilings were off. City officials and Realty board members look for a general increase in rents. However, they all joined in expressing the desire to see landlords go easy now that controls are off. What Anaheimers said: Tom Taylor, 833 South Lemon: I'm glad to see decontrol. Cellings have worked hardships on property owners who can't keep up with rising costs. Mrs. J. C. Brickhouse, 876 South Claudina: "I don't think it is right. Rents are too high as they are." Lewis Hyatt, 5651 St. Anne: "There shouldn't be any decontrol. With current mobilization plans, many servicemen are likely to meet with housing hardships." Clarence Elliott, 704 Amstutz: U. S. Industrial Chemicals, in Anaheim, yesterday received her appointment card for this day at the Ebell club. Her previous donations have been made to both armed service and civil needs, and she has contributed each time the mobile unit visited Anaheim. Last May Mrs. Marsh head the employee group participating at the Industrial Chemical plant when more than 60 per cent of eligible donors contributed 45 blood bank. Mrs. Marsn is not the only member of her family to aid the Red Cross program. She also makes appointments for her daughter Mrs. Anita Naukemis—who is four-time donor. Since the need for a 25 per cent increase in blood donations was made yesterday by General George Marshall, the local staff of the Red Cross is stressing the importance of participation by all citizens. The increase was necessary in order to supply armed forces in Korea and to fill the civilian needs. This morning the Red Cross reported that 65 donors had made appointments so far. Not only was this below the 25 per cent increase but it was also below even the ordinary Anaheim quota which 100.

With current mobilization plans, many servicemen are likely to meet with housing hardships." Clarence Elliott, 704 Amstutz: Rent control wasn't right. Property owners couldn't maintain their places on the returns they were getting." Etta Coolidge, 627 North Zeyn: "I'm glad controls are off. People should get more for their rentals." C. W. Fick, 827 South Palm: Rents should have been decontrolled long ago. Some owners were getting too much; some too little. Competition will make for a proper adjustment.

The rate now appears likely to be about $1.25 instead of the $1.30 per $100 of assessed property valuation as in a previously announced budget.

The injured man was Maurice H. Thompson, 75, father of Elwood M. Thompson, 913 South Palm, driver of one of the cars involved in the four-ply smash. The whole thing started when Thompson, traveling north on Los Angeles street, decided to turn left at Stueckle, according to report filed by Anaheim Police officers Bill Wilson and Bob Plaisted.

MARGARET ENGAGED? LONDON (UK)—A London newspaper said today Princess Margaret is engaged to the Earl of Dalkeith and that the official announcement of the betrothal "will be the next important event in the Royal family."

General county tax rate. The rate now appears likely to be about $1.25 instead of the $1.30 per $100 of assessed property valuation as in a previously announced budget. That tax rate, which must be adopted not later than September 1, would represent an increase of 35 cents above last year's rate. The complete budget, including highway and library funds, will amount to $15,848,299. There is no tax rate for the highway budget which consists entirely of state and federal allocations, chiefly gasoline taxes. The library rate applies only to unincorporated territory. The $200,000 reduction in the budget was accomplished by cutting $176,000 from the county building program fund, $22,000 from the county superintendent of schools budget for mentally retarded minors, and $2000 which county auditor L. H. Eckel cut from his budget for hiring clerks for seasonal work. No cuts were made on the welfare budget which represents a major cause of the tax hike. Engineers Fear Sewer Load May Get Out of Hand "The line is just full." Those were the words with which Councilman Robert Boney summed up sewer situation for members of the City Council at their regular meeting last night. Boney went on to relay to fellow legislators the engineers' apprehension over the immediate future with step-ups in canning operations and fruit processing in view. "How we'll get by the next three months we don't know," he said, adding, "the line is operating at absolute capacity right now. We can't see how it will possibly handle the increased flow to come." Curbing of excessive waste water in homes was cited as one means of easing the problem during the coming critical months by Assistant City Engineer George Holyoke."Waste water eminating from homes is unfortunately an unseen factor by many people," Holyoke said. "Individual cases are of course very small, but in the aggregate, home discharge becomes a major contributor to the overload."

C of C Resolves To Back Sewer Bond Election Anaheim Chamber of Commerce today marked official endorsement of the proposed Magnolia sewer project with release of a Board of Directors resolution urging members to vote affirmatively at the bond election slated for September 8.

Moeller last night told the city fathers of plans he has for livening up the city entrances with bright, new, attractive and respectable "Welcome to Anaheim" signs. And he invited them to take a look at the art for one new sign which he has had on hand for some time, in the hope that a move might be started in that direction.

TOKYO, Thursday, Aug. 24—Doughboys drove back vanguards of 50,000 red Koreans pressing down from the north against Taegu on the Korean central warfront Wednesday. A combined American-South Korean attack was hurled at North Korean flanking infiltrators at dawn. Some reds had penetrated within eight miles of Taegu. The heaviest fighting on the whole 120-mile long Korean battelline was on the American right flank before Taegu. A break-through by red forward elements would unleash five communist divisions for a drive on Taegu, 12 miles to the south of the bloodiest fighting. A big push for Taegu was considered imminent but there was no official mention of it at headquarters. General MacArthur omitted his early morning war summary, a usual indication that the situation is generally unchanged. On the Taegu front troops fought over a 100-yard wide no-man's land. Big guns and planes poured deadly fire into the narrow line and casualties were believed to be heavy.

Councilmen Grant Variance Request To Build Duplex in Single Family Area Request for a variance to permit construction of a duplex in a zone currently restricted to single family residences was granted last night by Anaheim City Councilmen, acting on recommendation of the Planning Commission. Successful petitioner is Gust Mabs, Fullerton, who plans construction of the duplex at 224 Mills dr. Planning Commissioners based their recommendation on the fact that Public hearings on July 26 and August 9 uncovered no objections to the variance request, plus the fact that the proposed rezoning ordinance, now in last stages of completion, would change area designation from single to two-family residence area. Mabs first petitioned for the variance in May of this year. Planning Commission minutes record a protest filed by Mrs. Adeline Curtis, 207 E. North st.
