VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH Youth Admits Killing Man With Hayfork Joe Manuel Brito, 17-year-old Costa Mesa youth was arrested last night by deputy sheriffs and is said to have made a full confession of the Tuesday evening hayfork murder of Ramon Menard. Killing Man With Hayfork Joe Manuel Brito, 17-year-old Costa Mesa youth was arrested last night by deputy sheriffs and is said to have made a full confession of the Tuesday evening hayfork murder of Ramon Mendoza, 65, Costa Mesa farm hand. Officers escorted young Brito to the scene of the killing today to go over the ground with him and reconstruct the crime. Brito is a grandson of Mendoza's employer, Mrs. Anna De Olivera, at whose Costa Mesa farm Mendoza received a fatal beating with a short handled hayfork. The motive was said to be robbery. Mrs. De Olivera told officers Tuesday night that Mendoza was supposed to have had about $30 on his person, but the sheriff's office announced today it had learned he was carrying only $2. The bloodstained fork was found beside Mendoza's unconscious form by Mrs. De Olivera shortly after the attack and she later was said to have turned the suspicion upon her grandson.

Featuring a Fair, auto and home show preceding the October 31st event, this traditionally famous extravaganza is fast becoming one of the Southland's greatest festive events. Last year more than 100,000 persons witnessed the pageant and parade. With the additional attraction planned for this year, a record crowd is anticipated. The community fair, 1950 addition to the annual event, will be centered around a “big top,” containing autos, machinery, home appliances, manufacturing and merchandise displays. In order to encourage larger crowds, 9 cent kiddie rides, huge fun zone, hobby show, nightly entertainment featuring several celebrities along with worthwhile door prizes are scheduled. All concessions will be manned by local clubs, churches and civic organizations in order to make this a real home-town show. With the entire community participating, Chairman Soden begins his job with optimism. He says "we offer exhibitors an exceptional opportunity for sales promotion." Space is allotted on a "first-come-first-served basis."

Retirement of AUHS Teacher Closes Half-Century Educational Career After nearly a half century of teaching, Miss Yetta Alden, instructor of U.S. History at Anaheim Union High school, the week announced her retirement. Miss Alden, who has taught at AUHS for the past 27 years, had originally intended to undertake her 43rd year of teaching this year, but ill health forced her to change her plans just days before classes were resumed. Miss Alden joined the Anaheim high school faculty in January of 1925 and since that time has seen more than 4000 students pass through her classes. She came to Southern California from Oklahoma, where she had taught school for 15 years. Beginning in 1909, she taught two years at Mt. View, Oklahoma; two years at Norman, Oklahoma; one year at Okemah, Oklahoma; three years at Watonga, Oklahoma; and seven years at Guthrie, Oklahoma. A graduate of the University of Oklahoma, she took graduate work at Berkeley and USC as well as the first university. In addition to her teaching duties at Anaheim she has always been interested in extra curricular activities and during her years there had served as advisor for many school groups. rectacle: Your Anaheim ir Fall Opening Tom ORANGE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD' NAHEIM GAZET EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1950 Air, Sea Blows Medical Men Get Behind Sewer Project Medical Men Get Behind Sewer Project. Orange county Medical association this week unanimously adopted a resolution placing itself wholeheartedly behind the plan for construction of the proposed Magnolia Trunk sewer line to be voted upon Monday by seven county cities and communities. The Medical association resolution, signed by President A. H. Wightman, M. D., declares: Whereas, the Orange county Medical association, in keeping with its responsibility for maintaining and promoting the public health, has always recognized the importance of adequate and safe disposal of human waste, and Whereas, the early completion of additional sewage collection and disposal facilities for the rapidly growing areas of Orange county is a basic sanitary need now. Therefore be it resolved that 1. The executive committee of the Orange county Medical association, after due consideration, does hereby approve of the immediate construction of the Magnolia Trunk Sewer and the other facilities as proposed in the bond election of September 18, 1950, and that 2. The members of the Orange county Medical association be urged to support this project as a necessary part of the augmented sewerage system of the county, and that 3. Because of the primary and essential nature of these facilities, World Series Slated Oct. 4 CINCINNATI (P) — Representatives of contending teams and Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandler today set October 4 as the date for the start of the 1950 World Series, providing a play-off is not necessary to determine one or both of the pennant winners. If two teams should tie for the championship in the tight American League race among Detroit, New York and Boston. Completion of negotiations between the proposed Orange County Municipal Water district and the Metropolitan Water district, by which MWD would, in the event of annexation, construct a $13,000,000 extension of its lines into Orange county to supply both treated and untreated water to this area, was announced yesterday by President Vernon Heil of the Orange County Water district. Heil reported the agreement at the water district directors meeting in Santa Ana. It had been effected as a necessary prelude to meters for the Anaheim Water Co., the Santa Ana Irrigation Co. and, in the river the Orange County Water district which will purchase water at point, for sinking underground. With the new municipal district included in MWD, the range County Water district will privileged to purchase untreated water from MWD for $10 per foot, instead of $15 per acre; the price paid this summer last.

Chandler today set October 4 as the date for the start of the 1950 World Series, providing a play-off is not necessary to determine one or both of the pennant winners. If two teams should tie for the championship in the tight American League race among Detroit, New York and Boston, a one-game play-off will set the series starting date back to October 5. Commissioner Chandler said there was no action taken on what will be done in the event three teams should tie in the American League. The mechanics of a three-team play-off, he said, will be left to the American League itself. Will Harridge, president of the loop, was not among the group which attended the meeting here. Chandler also said there was no discussion or a series starting date in the event of a tie for the National League championship. The National League, however, plays off ties on a two-out-of-three basis, so the commissioner explained that a deadlock there naturally would mean a delay in the start of the series of at least two days beyond October 4. Temperatures The temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 this afternoon was 74 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 80 degrees at 3:30 p.m., yesterday. Low was 63 at 7 a.m., today. Heil reported the agreement at the water district directors meeting in Santa Ana. It had been effected as a necessary prelude to the organization of the proposed new municipal water district, embracing most of Orange county, for annexation to MWD. MWD directors also have agreed, said Heil, to support legislative repeal of provisions in the Orange County Water district act, by which any portion of the water district that annexes to MWD shall automatically be excluded from the water district. MWD directors, in fact, will refuse to accept annexation of the new municipal water district until such repeal has been obtained. Repeal of these provisions, it was pointed out, would permit the Orange county Water district to remain intact and fulfill its purposes of protecting Orange county water rights and increasing its supply. The MWD directors stand represents a reversal of MWD policy, it was said, MWD having supported the exclusion provisions enacted by the 1949 legislature, now views such provisions as a mistake. Under the agreement reported by Heil, MWD will construct a line for untreated water from Lake Matthews, along the south side of Corona and down Santa Ana canyon to empty into Santiago reservoir. A lateral from this line would extend across the river at a point one mile below Horseshoe bend. That line would have valves and between the proposed Orange County Municipal Water district and the Metropolitan Water district, by which MWD would, in the event of annexation, construct a $13,000,000 extension of its lines into Orange county to supply both treated and untreated water to this area, was announced yesterday by President Vernon Heil of the Orange County Water district.

S. First Navy Disclaims Red Reports of West Korea Coast Landing Tries Nation at Glance Congress Urged Not to Quit Until Votes Tax Bill By the Associated Press WASHINGTON — The House shouted overwhelming approval today of a resolution calling on Congress not to adjourn until it has a chance to vote on a multi-million dollar excess profits tax. This action came after the failure of an effort to write a $6,000,000,000 super levy on big corporation profits into the pending general tax boosting bill. That move bogged down in House rules on procedure. Speaker Rayburn ruled that under the rules and precedents, the House could not instruct a Senate-House Conference committee to insert the big profits levy in the pending $4,508,000,000 tax bill. He stressed that the conference committee, because of the rules of the House and the Senate, could not insert new subject matter in a bill when it is trying to smooth out different versions passed by the two houses. WASHINGTON — The Senate jumped ahead of the House today in the rush to clear the way for Gen. George C. Marshall to reenter the cabinet as Secretary of Defense. There was a chance the Senate would pass today and the House tomorrow a bill saying that in this case it is all right for a military man to take over a post reserved by law for a civilian.

TOKYO, Friday, Sept. 15—(AP)—Heavy attacks by Allied warships and carrier planes on Korea's west coast—an apparent prelude to the promised big push—prompted the reds last night to claim four U. S. landing craft and three destroyers were sunk. The U. S. Navy in Washington said it had no report of any landing-type vessels being involved in the heaviest surface bombardment of the war by British and American ships in the vicinity of Inchon, west coast port for the red-held capital city of Seoul. The Navy said the reds did inflict "superficial damage" on three U. S. destroyers during the Inchon bombardment Wednesday. With ground action relatively scanty and American commanders predicting future offensive operations against the North Koreans, Allied sources in Tokyo said it sounded as if the reds were trying to manufacture a "victory" by implying that a landing effort had been repulsed. Far East Naval headquarters said earlier that Task Force 77 wrought damage along a 210-mile western strip, the main blows being at Inchon.
