Nation at Glance National Rail Strike Set for Next Mondav By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Union orders for a nationwide railroad strike next Monday put the rail labor problem squarely up to President Truman. His choice seems to be either some new move aimed at quickly settling the long-smouldering dispute or ordering government seizure of the rail industry. Two big rail unions—The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and Order of Railway Conductors—gave their all-out strike orders to their 200,000 members last night after a new deadlock developed in White House peace talks with the carriers. The nationwide strike call against 131 rail lines was unexpected. The union leaders only Tuesday night had given everyone to understand they would not expand five-day “token” walkouts presently in progress at five key centers. Reds Mass F Hamchang Naktong R.

The nationwide strike call against 131 rail lines was unexpected. The union leaders only Tuesday night had given everyone to understand they would not expand five-day "token" walkouts presently in progress at five key centers. However, the dispute over wages and working hours was dragged out over a period of a year and a half—and constantly been growing more ominous. Under the Railway Labor Act, which sets up a complex procedure for handling of rail disputes, the unions have been free to strike since July 15. The deadline for the nationwide walkout is 6 a.m., Standard Time Monday according to the clocks in (Continued on Page 2) Chamber Brief Backs Rezoning Anaheim Chamber of Commerce today released a brief, sustaining in general, the proposed map of rezoning Anaheim as prepared by the Planning Commission. Below are excerpts from the brief, including Chamber recommendations for Anaheim zoning. Consistent with its policy of supporting sound, comprehensive, long-range planning, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce herewith approves the tentative zoning map prepared recently by you for public review, subject to one major provision outlined hereinafter. We are particularly concerned with the rezoning of our city since much of the zoned districts of 25 years standing have been used up. This has created an intolerable situation and has compelled the property owners to resort increasingly to the variance instruments. We strongly favor the Commission's present planned survey and city-wide rezoning to correct the (Continued on Page 5) 1000 Car Prorate Set (By The Farm Editor) 1000 car prorate set for next week.

Berghold's exposure came after he had issued a personal check that overdrew his bank account and saw disaster facing him, it was said. He then confided in his wife, and together they visited their minister, who accompanied Berghold to District Attorney James L. Davis' office. The missing funds were extracted from the trust funds in the care of Berghold, as principal clerk in the sheriff's civil division. Sheriff James A. Musick, who interviewed Berghold, said that the clerk told him he had lost $3000 of his own saving at cards and the race tracks, then started dipping into the trust fund, made up of cash bonds deposited in at- Enough to Burn Any Good Crook TULARE (P)—When ing gas, don't light a mate see when your tank is full That was the advice toda Undersheriff Carl Ensign.

For the first time since the week ending July 29 the Valencia orange crop is again under the control of the prorate. For next week the shipment of Valencias will be limited to 1000 cars. This in the opinion of many industry leaders is the first step in getting more money for the grower on this year's crop—in fresh form. Since volume prorate was taken off on the July 20th meeting of the OAC the industry has been shipping fresh around 1300 cars per week. About the same number went to by-products. With no details of the meeting at hand we assume that the 1000 car prorate for next week was voted over the protest of the Sunkist group who have consistently held out for a minimum 1350 car shipment and failing that wanted none at all. Other shippers have argued that the shipments must be held to around a 1000 cars per week in order to bring a return to the grower. WARDEN HEADS THIRD SANITATION DISTRICT Hugh Warden, Fullerton, was elected chairman of sanitation District 3 at a meeting of County Sanitation District in Santa Ana last night.

Mass For Pusan Drive Heavily Armored Division Rolls East Toward American Positions Truman Roundup Truman Talks On Rails, War, Controls, Etc. WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman said today the call for a nationwide rail strike came very unexpectedly and despite assurances to him there would be no such walkout. He told his news conference he would have to consider the situation before deciding unions have demanded government seizure. The president said assurances of no further strikes were given by TOKYO, Friday, Aug. 25—(AP)—A heavily armed red Korean division rolled eastward toward American positions on the Korean south coast. In three columns of men and machines the division moved up a new threat to the all-important Allied southeastern port of Pusan some 50 miles away. The threat appeared in the south after pressure had eased on the central front above Taegu where probers for five red divisions were thrown back for five consecutive days. The 50,000 reu soldiers a dozen miles north of Taegu slanted away from their mountain positions, apparently looking for an easier avenue for a smash on Taegu. The North Koreans tried four times last week to drive five divisions down the rocky, bloody "bowling alley" corridor to Taegu. Dark arrows show where robbing attacks against U. S. arrows).

WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman said today the call for a nationwide rail strike came very unexpectedly and despite assurances to him there would be no such walkout. He told his news conference he would have to consider the situation before deciding unions have demanded government seizure. The president said assurances of no further strikes were given by both union and management representatives as late as an hour before yesterday's call for the walkout to begin next Monday. A reporter, asking whether the tactics used constituted a "double-cross," was told by Mr. Truman not to put words in his mouth. The president said he is not making such a statement this morning. The President, responding to questions about the economic control bill now in conference between the Senate and House, declined to state an opinion until the measure reaches him. He said one cannot tell what such measures contain until they are finally passed. Usually they include everything but the kitchen stove before an elimination process begins, he added. He did say however that one provision—placing priority and allocations controls under the Secretary of Commerce—is not satisfactory to him. He described as absolutely untrue a report that Secretary of Commerce Sawyer had lobbied to have that provision written into the bill. Mr. Truman said Sawyer (Continued on Page 5) ALLOWANCES WASHINGTON, (AP) — The House today passed a bill to give monthly allowances of $45 to $85 to enlisted men in the military services to help them care for their families.

In addition, board members interviewed Mrs. Eunice Barnes on the subject of her prospective employment in the Fremont School cafeteria; moved to hold over action on bids for the Lincoln school addition, and got started on the eventual purchase of a new pickup truck for the system. In other actions, they signed agreement to contribute, as previously arranged, $3000 to the Recreation Department budget; let the piano tuning contract to Oscar Brower on the latter's bid of $150 for the year; and eliminated candy and cookies from Fremont lunchroom fare. In connection with the last action board members decided to keep ice cream on the available list. Here are the new teachers who will join the system this fall.

The hitch developed with the announcement, later, that the requirement was 22 school years rather than 22 full years. This left Mrs. Barnes with some 3½ years to make up; or the alternative of (Continued on Page 8)
