The charges and Russian counter-charges being aired over the shooting down of a Soviet plane attacking UN shipping would indicate the Soviets are anxious to drag the United States deeper into the current war. This is another event in a series of events which would lend some credence to this thought. For example, Moscow-inspired Chinese communists (for the second time) last week have accused the U.S. Air Force in Korea of having violated China's borders and dropped bombs. Warren R. Austin, U.S. delegate to the United Nations, had said an American fighter plane might have strafed a Manchurian airfield by mistake August 27. the 38th Parallel when they push back the North Koreans. President Truman carried the matter a step farther when he said he hoped there was no great danger of communist China getting involved in the Korean war. He also stated that it won't be necessary to keep the U.S. Seventh Fleet off Formosa once peace has been settled in Korea—a statement which should give the Chinese reds evidence that America isn't up to skullduggery in that part of the world. That question of whether the U.N. armies should cross the border into Northern Korea is a momentous one. Military observers generally recognize that This is another event in a series of events which would lend some credence to this thought. For example, Moscow-inspired Chinese communists (for the second time) last week have accused the U.S. Air Force in Korea of having violated China's borders and dropped bombs. Warren R. Austin, U. S. delegate to the United Nations, had said an American fighter plane might have strafed a Manchurian airfield by mistake August 27. Despite Austin's frank statement, it seems clear that the reds were trying to build up their broader charge of "aggression" against the United States—and this time involving Chinese territory. Such a charge of aggression—films though it be—might be used in a big way if the time should arrive when Moscow would send its own or Chinese armies into northern Korea. Such a move would be to block General MacArthur's United Nations forces should they be sent across the 38th Parallel. Many military experts regard a red move of this sort as a strong likelihood. A proposal of this thought two Chinese communist armies are reported massed on the Manchurian-Korean frontier, which is formed by the great Yalu river. The strength of these forces is variously estimated at between 175,000 and 200,000. This situation is causing much concern in Washington. Secretary of State Dean Acheson said recently that the United States by word and action is doing its utmost to keep communist China on the sidelines in the Korean fighting. He added that the U. N. must decide whether its forces shall cross danger of communist China getting involved in the Korean war. He also stated that it won't be necessary to keep the U. S. Seventh Fleet off Formosa once peace has been settled in Korea—a statement which should give the Chinese reds evidence that America isn't up to skullduggery in that part of the world. That question of whether the U. N. armies should cross the border into Northern Korea is a momentous one. Military observers generally recognize that any indication this would be done might result in Russia herself accupying North Korea to keep U. N. troops out. However, that strategy would bring Russian troops face to face with MacArthur's command and should fight develop between them it must mean another world war. Therefore Russia might send in her Chinese satellite to hold North Korea, thus lessening the danger of another global upheaval. There is another reason why the Chinese might be selected to carry the ball for communism. This is that the Chinese reds reportedly are committed by agreement to help the North Korean communists, for aid the Koreans gave the reds in Manchuria during the revolution there. One thing stands out rather clearly in this complicated Asiatic picture: Russia doesn't want to see another world war develop at this juncture. Therefore she will proceed to squeeze as many advantages out of it as possible without getting herself directly involved. On this basis we are safe in assuming that part of her strategy involves considerable elements or bluff. The massing of Chinese armies might be partly bluff, although it must be recognized that in extreme eventualities they could be used in northern Korea. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Santa Monica is to have a weekly newspaper.

Incidentally, General Graham keeps a verbatim record of these conversations which some day should be among the most important reading in history. Malik Will Stay At the dinner he gave U.N. colleagues after retiring as president of the Security Council, Russia's Jakob Malik was joking; reminded of his walkout from the council last January. "Was it just a coincidence that you came back when the councils was preparing to seat the Chinese Nationalists?" inquired one of his guests. Malik insisted that this wasn't the case, but that the "rules of procedure" called for him to asume the presidency of the council during the month of August. "I came back to observe the rules," he said seriously. "Well, in that case, you will have to find a new reason for staying on here, since your term as president has now expired, persisted the guest." "Oh, that isn't difficult," grinned the Soviet official. "When we want to do something, we can all ways find a reason." Bradley Chafes Gen. Omar Bradley isn't ad vertising it, but he is so fed up with Secretary of Defense Johnson's roughshod attempts to dictate strategy, plus General MacArthur's indifference to order from Washington, that he would like to get out as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "You are a lucky man," he recently confided to a general who was given a command outside the Pentagon. "I'd give my right arm to be leading troops again. I just don't know how much longer can stand this." 75 Years Ago Santa Monica is to have a weekly newspaper. The Gazette office will be compelled to close its doors tomorrow. This action is not rendered necessary by the great bank crash, but merely because tomorrow is Sunday. B. F. Smith will hereafter run a regular line of daily stages (Sundays excepted) between Anaheim, Santa Ana and Orange, to connect with trains on their arrival and departure from Anaheim. His stages will also make trips to Newport Harbor on the arrival of McFadden's steamer. There were sixty-two pupils in the primary department of the school today—altogether too many for the limited accommodations. 50 Years Ago The Republicans of Fullerton and the surrounding district have formed a McKinley and Roosevelt club, and already the membership exceeds 100.

Campbell, express manager, and then robbed the baggage coach of Santa Fe train No. 75. Two men and a woman are being held in the Los Angeles jail on suspicion. Fred J. Rimpau and Miss Sophie Rimpau of this city, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rimpau of Hollywood left Saturday for a three week's vacation in Yellowstone National Park. WASHINGTON — It's supposed to be a White House secret, but the president's personal physician, Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham, has been giving the chief executive a course in psychotherapy. The treatment takes the form of regular talks between the president and General Graham, in which Mr. Truman unburdens himself about the aggravations that go with the job of being president. In these sessions, Truman pours out his innermost secrets to his doctor—such things as the worry he had over dropping the A-bomb, his worry over his dealings with Stalin, over "You are a lucky man," he recently confided to a general who was given a command outside the Pentagon. "I'd give my right arm to be leading troops again. I just don't know how much longer we can stand this." New Army Training The Army will get the bulk of the three million men President Truman wants drafted, and will set up a production-line training program to make soldiers out of them. However, the training won’t be the same as that in the last war. It may come as a shock to hard-hitten sergeants, but the Army will try to be more democratic. Under the army’s G-3 Training section, trainees are to be treated as individuals, not cattle; and the new approach will be to use more reason and less force. Briefly, here is what the new draftees can expect as they pour into Army camps this month: They will get 14 weeks' active training with two weeks' leewafer processing and red tape. The first six weeks will be basic in doctrination, then specialized training for eight weeks. Roughly 70 per cent will be given specialized combat training, such as infantry, field artillery, and tanks. The remaining 30 per cent will be trained for service units, such as the engineers’ quartermaster corps and signal corps. The cream of the crop will be sent on to advanced schools for additional technical training; the rest will be assigned to unit ready to go into action as needed. The chances of getting office training are slim. The Army is already top-heavy with brass, but will need some junior-grade of JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT THROUGH HIS HEAD UNITED STATES INVADED KOREA UNITED STATES GUILTY OF ARMED INVASION OF FORMOSA ers the money return to ther.

So far, however, the Army has plans for only one officer candidate school—at Fort Riley, Kansas. Johnson's Politics Secretary of Defense Johnson, allegedly a stanch Democrat, uses a stanch Republican to handle "political matters." This came out the other day when a prominent midwestern businessman called upon Johnson. "The administration has lost the confidence of the people out where I come from," declared the mid-westerner. "Why is that?" asked Johnson. "They didn't like this false economy program you had before the Korean war," the business- man retorted bluntly. Then, as an afterthought, he added: "Of course, they don't blame you as much as the administration." "That is very interesting," mused Johnson politely. "I would like you to tell that to my assistant secretary who handles our political matters." Then Johnson brought in Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Griffith, a diehard Republican. Few Friends Re Orient U.N. Ambassador Warren Austin has warned the White House that the majority of members of the U.N. Security Council are opposed to U.N. forces going beyond the 38th Parallel in Korea. Even more important, Austin has informed Washington that the U.N. would definitely oppose further American intervention in China. Austin went so far as to state privately that the United States would run into heavy opposition at the U.N. General Assembly to MacArthur's policy of support for Chiang Kai-Shek. Only the Philippines, Austin reported, favor Chiang, and virtually every other Pacific nation is doing business with or has recognized Mao Tse-Tung's communist regime. As a result, Secretary Acheson ped East each week when the growers will hardly receive more than a few cigarette coupons or some green stamps, as we heard a feller say, for his fruit. There will be those growers who will simply not stay hitched for this sort of thing. Even Mr. Wilcox's "cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid and his same thing deal with Uncle Sam did not make growers happy, even if it did help to "move the crop." We read in the privately owned, Exchange grower subsidized, magazine that this last contract with Uncle, pulled out of the fire Brother Wilcox, "reflects $45 a ton fruit" to the Exchange grower, whatever that means. If it is so good for growers then why would not two other Orange county plants have none of the contract? We know. These other plants wanted to return their growers more money. Since when is that a crime? What does this sort of thing do to the by-products price? It low- Colony Quips The prorate came in for some kicking around last week at the OAC meeting and the kicking was done by some WK big "brass" of the Exchange. This in itself would almost be the equivalent in news value of a new atom-tom bonbon, or sompin. If these boys now think the prorate is antiquated because of too much frozen concentrate in the market then what have they to offer in its place? Or are they still thinking back in the "move the crop" days? Those days are dead, my boy, and the quicker you realize it and send flowers the better off your growers are going to be. You can perhaps stall off the inevitable for a year or so—but "old man river" is wending his inexorable way. The day is done when the "big boys" can sit down and figure to pay the freight with a minimum of 1350 cars of fresh fruit ship- To the Exchange grower only? Not altogether, the Exchange grower certainly sells for less in his kind of deal, but, "cheaper" suit contracts tend to lower the price of all Southern California valencias. Then why do they do it? If we could answer that one Pulitzer would have to strike a new medal. There is an answer and we think we know part of it, when we can prove the whole story you will get it—straight. And a lot of chips will fall—ohlat. You have read in this column, many times, the simple little story of the trip made to the coast last winter by Mr. Fox, president of minute Maid, and the "cheaper suit" contract he got from the freshmen," as we have heard some of our "hired hands" referred to—and how it appeared right here for the first time, by way of Florida, to the everlasting credit Mr. Fox and U-NO-WHOS discredit. So, tomorrow we will tell you of the sad plight of Minute Maid. In the financial picture of Minute Maid this contract with the Exchange, of course, looms very small. The actual number of cases accepted by Minute Maid from the EOP is almost a stroke. So the "cheaper fruit" does not make any difference in their lifetime. We only have room today to note you the headline on an article appearing last week in a large, respected Florida newspaper. It says this: "Minute Maid profits Reach NEW HIGH With concentrates." The Exchange, of course, looms very small. The actual number of cases accepted by Minute Maid from the EOP is almost a doe. So the "cheaper fruit" does not make any difference in their sale. We only have room today to note you the headline on an article appearing last week in a large, respected Florida news paper. It says this: "Minute Maid Profits Reach NEW HIGH With Concentrates." Remember they did this in Florida, where the GROWER gets DOUGH. Last season the average paid by the concentrators to the growers was $2.72 a box. This price "reflected" the sum of $65.28 a ton, cash, right into the growers pocket. And, brother, this was the average; it took into consideration a lot of very poor fruit. How does that make our "freshen" look?
