AUHS Students Register Tomorrow Final preparations for opening of the fall term at Anaheim Union High school are now complete, according to Superintendent Paul H. Demarge, and 1200 students are expected to register tomorrow between the hours of 8 a.m., and 4 p.m. Buses will run, leaving school at 8 a.m., for convenience of students living in rural areas. Two new teachers have been added to the staff recently to replace Major Ralph Comstock, now on active duty with the National Guard, and Miss Roedecker, who resigned. The new teachers are William Hicks, who will be commandant of the Cadet Corps and instructor of Behind-the-Wheel Driver Training. He will also assist Coach Dick Glover in coaching the C football team. Miss Roedecker will be replaced by Miss Betty Britt, who taught last year at Bob Jones' University in South Carolina. She will teach Orientation and General Business Science. Attention Drivers With the opening of the schools next week it is imperative that drivers use extra care in driving to avoid accidents to the many children who will be on the streets. Hundreds of children will be walking the streets of Anaheim to and from school, many for the first time. While police and school crossing guards help to protect children from traffic at many crossings, some children will be crossing at unprotected corners. In addition, enthusiastic youngsters are apt to dart out into the street at any point, perhaps in front of an approaching automobile. The best rule for motorists to follow, particularly when driving in school areas, is to travel at a speed which will allow for stopping suddenly to avoid hitting a child who may run in front of your car. Let's everyone cooperate to keep Anaheim streets safe for our school children for the ensuing year. Signed: Mark A. Stephenson, Chief of Police. Magnolia Students Register Monday Magnolia School No. 1 opens Monday, September 11, for registration purposes, Principal Mattie Marine Dies in Auto Race Mishap Hurled from an automobile to the pavement when quick-braking locked the wheels, Pfc Walter Babut, 20, El Toro Marine, rolled across the highway and was struck by a car traveling in the opposite direction, receiving injuries which caused his death in Santa Ana Community hospital at 10 o'clock last night. The accident took place at 7:30 p.m. on Santa Ana blvd., north of Flower street. Babut was riding in a car driven by Joe P. Richards, 19, also an El Toro Marine. A third Marine also was a passenger, and Richards was said to have been racing side by side with another car, also driven by a Marine. When they overtook another car traveling in the lane ahead of Richards, he was forced to apply his brakes suddenly, and the wheels locked, swerving the car so sharply to the left that the door flew open and Babut was pitched out on the pavement, rolling across the center line into the path of a car driven by Claude B. Allison, 30, 105 Harding st., Bakersfield. Jury Asks Further Query in Cyclist Shooting Death A cornor's jury, late yesterday recommended further investigation into the fatal shooting of Arthur Joselle, 22; of Santa Ana who fell mortally wounded when a market owner fired at three young men fleeing from his produce stand east of Orange, September 1. The jury sitting at Santa Ana ruled that Joselle's death was accidental and that Reginald F. Merrill, the market owner, had shot the young man. Since it was unable to fix any blame in connection with the tragedy, the jury recommended that the district attorney's office further investigate the shooting. ANAHEIM GAZETE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1950 Roll Back Commie T ANAHEIM’S 1950 Tide of Empire (This is the second of a series of articles concerning the effects on Anaheim of the mass migration to Southern California.) Many folks agree Anaheim must have an immediate, far-reaching plan of orderly development and growth. This includes two phases: (1) residential growth, and (2) industrial or business growth. The housing policy, perhaps the more pressing of the two, basically boils down to whether the city’s housing developments should be wholly unrestricted as to size and cost (and include the smaller type houses), or should they be restricted in cost and size to a predominance of larger “better-type” custom-built homes? Let it be understood that we use the word “unrestricted” only in reference to COST and SIZE. Not to any junking of the highly desirable uniformity and attractiveness offered Truman Roundup President to Air Controls On Homefront WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman said today he will give the radio Saturday night to the nation what he has in mind in the way of homefront economic controls during the emergence. He said the plans will be into civilian hands and add physically that there will be military dictator in charge. In making these statements Many folks agree Anaheim must have an immediate, far-reaching plan of orderly development and growth. This includes two phases: (1) residential growth, and (2) industrial or business growth. The housing policy, perhaps the more pressing of the two, basically boils down to whether the city's housing developments should be wholly unrestricted as to size and cost (and include the smaller type houses), or should they be restricted in cost and size to a predominance of larger "better-type" custom-built homes? Let it be understood that we use the word "unrestricted" only in reference to COST and SIZE. Not to any junking of the highly desirable uniformity and attractiveness offered through intelligent city planning. And, we don't advocate compromising our building code. Actually, what we have chosen to term "unrestricted" here is in the sense of maintaining uniformity of construction within given areas and laying down basic standards which must be met in all planning, construction, and landscaping. Proponents of the "unrestricted" theory argue that the city must grow "naturally," come what may. They say that to tamper with growth, beyond setting broad general policies, is only to discourage it. They believe that with the coming of smaller homes, and the lower income folks who will live in them, there also will come the mansion. They argue that those who would attempt to create a Beverly Hills of Anaheim are building "castles in the air" rather than building the city on a practical pattern. Opposition to this thinking sees no such need for that kind of "natural" growth. They forecast that unrestricted building of the more inexpensive houses eventually will lead to an overall "cheapening" of the area's valuation and eventual creation of "slum, areas" in some portions of the city. To date the forces of these two viewpoints, like two horses pulling a wagon in opposite directions, may well have jeopardized firm progress in any direction. Meanwhile, many people will tell you the city of Anaheim continues to grow somewhat haphazardly and without benefit of firm, positive direction. The "restrictive" camp, led by Mayor Pearson, is constantly being attacked because of caution and lengthy deliberation. The "non-restrictive" group, which includes some Engineer Warns of State Sewer Move Should Local Plans Flop "The State Department of Health was about to crack down on sewage disposal conditions in Orange county, when the county-wide sanitation district was voted by the citizens. The same situation could occur if the Magnolia Sewer Trunk is not approved on September 18." So said C. G. Gillespie, consulting engineer for the Joint Outfall cities concerned with the proposed project. When reminded by reporters that history is not supposed to repeat itself, Gillespie himself a former member of the State On Homefront WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman said today he will give the radio Saturday night to the nation what he has in mind in the way of homefront economic controls during the emergency. He said the plans will be into civilian hands and added phatically that there will be military dictator in charge. In making these statements, a news conference, the press reported the anti-inflation passed by Congress is now analyzed by many federal agents. He said he will answer a lot questions about it in his address over four new works Sunday at an hour still to be expected to sign the measure few days. Mr. Truman, in reply to comments, said he is not now considering setting up an independent agency to handle price and wage controls when and if needed.

The county board of supervisors Santa Ana, adopting a small control law yesterday at the conclusion of a public hearing agreed however, that present suppliers fuel can be used by the growers. After their reserves are orchardists must purchase fuel standard quality which oil protested are too rigid, the supervisors said. The supervisors, however, agreed to consider amending fuel standards providing refill cannot supply the grades stated. Citrus growers and the mill Housewives Anti-smudge committee generally endorsed the contests which are main part of the county's air-pollution control law. Agricultural Commissioner D. Tubbs said that about four percent of orchard heaters now cannot be remodeled to meet city standards; but the bulk of remainder can be cleaned and modeled to meet standards with little expense.

"Where there is a menace to public health, the department has every right to step in and demand that steps be taken to correct the fault," he explained. "It can initiate legal steps, often costly ones, that will lead to correction of the situation."

Fighting Men Brace for Major Blow at Vital Base City TOKYO (AP)—Fresh red Korean attacks north of Taegu were rolled back by Allied troops today. The Allies were braced for a major blow at the important base city in the center of the front. Most of the 84 Russian-made tanks the North Koreans threw into battle yesterday were destroyed or damaged. Allied aircraft were credited with destroying 19 enemy tanks and damaging 22 more in a record 625 sorties. Seventeen others had been knocked out Wednesday. Two red thrusts against Taegu were stopped. One lunge was halted seven miles north of the rail and supply center along the Kumhwa “Bowling Alley” by U. S. First Cavalry troopers. The other was smacked back east of Yongchon, road junction 20 miles east of Taegu, by Allied troops. Communist commanders recklessly rushed great truck columns carrying men and supplies toward this front. Navy Admits Downing Russ Bomber Monday WASHINGTON (AP)—The Navy acknowledged today that two of its fighter planes shot down the Russian bomber off Korea on Monday. This was the first official word that American planes knocked off the twin-engined Soviet craft when, the U.S. charges, it attempted to attack United Nations naval forces. At the time the incident was first reported the State Department said the bomber "opened fire upon a U.N. fighter patrol, which returned its fire and shot it down." A Navy spokesman at a briefing session for newsmen in the Pentagon identified the fighter planes as two Navy Corsairs attached to Task Force 77, composed of carriers and supporting units. He said the Navy had no information that would support the Moscow claim that two other Russian planes were in the vicinity or that 11 American fighters took part in the brief fight. Moscow also contended the destroyed bomber was on a training flight and was unarmed. The Navy spokesman said the action took place about 30 miles from the center of the Task Force. The State Department announcement of the incident had said the bomber passed over a screening Most of the 84 Russian-made tanks the North Koreans threw into battle yesterday were destroyed or damaged. Allied aircraft were credited with destroying 19 enemy tanks and damaging 22 more in a record 625 sorties. Seventeen others had been knocked out Wednesday. Two red thrusts against Taegu were stopped. One lunge was halted seven miles north of the rail and supply center along the Kumhwa “Bowling Alley” by U. S. First Cavalry troopers. The other was smacked back east of Yongchon, road junction 20 miles east of Taegu, by Allied troops. Communist commanders recklessly rushed great truck columns carrying men and supplies toward this major front. In the southwest an attack on the bloody approach to Pusan, prime Allied harbor in the southeast, was beaten back. Advances were made by American troops toward the Naktong river in their central front offensive west of Yong-san, 32 miles south of Taegu. The tense challenge of the last two days, when the reds poured through the broken Allied east wall, was eased at least momentarily. A spokesman for General MacArthur's headquarters said the Allies were holding firm on all fronts. Red casualties were estimated to have reached 20,000 men killed and wounded during the past week's ground fighting. This was out of a figured total of 150,000 reds in the all-out drive. Pohang the blasted and burned second most important east coast port, remained in communist hands. But the Allied airfield, six miles southeast of the city, was under American control. At dawn Thursday the North Korean southwestern force hopped off in an attack on the U. S. 25th Infantry Division west of Masan, port city 27 airline miles west of Pusan on the south coast. AP correspondent Stan Swinton at the front said one slight penetration was made but that the Americacan lines generally held fast. AP correspondent Bem Price reported from the front that South Korean forces were driving eastward of Yongchon, the traffic center near Taegu that red guerrillas held briefly Wednesday. The road junction was the goal of red forces plunging through a gap in the lines south of Kigye, near the east coast. American and South Korean troops halted the most serious Taegu threat in that action. Truman Follows Apology With Personal Visit WASHINGTON (AP) — President Truman made an unheralded visit to the Marine Corps League's meeting today and expressed hope there will never be "another misunderstanding" Truman Follows Apology With Personal Visit WASHINGTON (AP) — President Truman made an unheralded visit to the Marine Corps League's meeting today and expressed hope there will never be "another misunderstanding" between him and the Marines. It was a personal and emphatic follow up to his apology of yesterday for his earlier "unfortunate" words about the fighting corps. The League gave him a standing ovation and applauded furiously when he said; with a grin: "You succeeded in enticing me over here." With his mind obviously on the furor over his description of the Marines as a "police force" with "a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's," Mr. Truman said: "There are incidents that some time appear almost as if it was the end of the world at the time," but that eventually turn out to be for the good of the country. Then he added, that when he makes a "mistake, I try to correct it." Mr. Truman went on to express his resentment over "unfounded attacks against certain men in the public service." He attributed those attacks to politics in connection with the approaching November election. Temperatures The temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 this afternoon was 75 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 80 degrees at 8 p.m., yesterday. Low was 64 at 6 a.m., today.
