VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEI Warren Gets Civil Defense Plans Going By MORRIE LANDSBERG SACRAMENTO (AP)—Governor Warren gave California a partial look at its civil defense program today. And he declared the state is not going to hold up its plans until the federal government actually implements the civil defense blueprints announced by President Truman yesterday. "We can't wait," said Warren. "We are not going to wait." "The responsibility is placed on us. We've got to go through now to the very best of our ability. We are not going to wait for the federal government to give us detailed plans." And he declared the state is not going to hold up its plans until the federal government actually implements the civil defense blueprints announced by President Truman yesterday. "We can't wait," said Warren. "We are not going to wait." "The responsibility is placed on us. We've got to go through now to the very best of our ability. We are not going to wait for the federal government to give us detailed plans." As a matter of fact the governor said he had studied the federal report and concluded that California is ahead of it in state planning. California, he said, has been building up its civil defense structure since 1945. Warren said the state will have to wait until October 3 to get its overall civil defense program. It will be announced in San Francisco at a conference of the governors of California, Arizona and Nevada with Gen. Albert Wedemeyer, U. S. Sixth Army commander. But in the meantime the governor told newsmen: He will ask the legislature, meeting in special session tomorrow, to let him name a full-time state director of civilian defense with a paid administrative staff. The present state disaster council would continue as an advisory body. The state program contemplates a network of reception areas in the event of mass evacuation from danger spots. The disaster plan will operate from 10 regional setups. The three main regions: Los Angeles and Orange counties; San Diego and Imperial counties; the San Francisco Bay area. Warren also announced he will seek an appropriation that will be sizeable—"but not enormous"—to operate California's civil defense machinery. YMCA Roundup On Schedule "Right on schedule." That's the situation with the 1950 YMCA member-at-large and Cash roundup campaign, according to Y secretary Tommy Thomason. So far Y rounders have corraled 40 per cent of their goal which is $11,000 and 1000 new members-at-large. Figures tabulated last night at a regular check-in meeting at the White Temple Methodist church. ANAHEIM COUNT—City Clerk Charles Griffith, assisted by Miss with plenty of things to do last night when he came to tabulating sewer bond election. 1753 Anaheim ballots were cast yesterday—163 eight blank. 5534-721 Ballot Sweeps in $3.5 Million Appropriation Northern Orange County voters last night decided overwhelmingly that the Magnolia Trunk Sewer is a good deal. By total vote of 5534 to 721, citizens in the seven cities and sanitary districts voted to issue $3,441,000 in bonds to construct the proposed line and necessary appurtenances. Engineer Burton Ellis said last night that work on the sewage line, which is calculated to relieve the seriously overloaded Euclid line now in use, will commence around the first of December. Engineers hope to complete the project by May 1951. Now that the bond issue has been approved by the voters, all that remains in the way of actual construction is the solicitation of bids and letting of contracts for the job. Sewer officials set themselves to just that task this afternoon. The Magnolia Trunk is calculated to stretch some 63,830 feet from its northernmost extremity at the intersection of Magnolia and Commonwealth in Fullerton, south to the juncture of Cannery ave. and Ellis ave., where it is connected by a force main to the treatment plant now in use on the Euclid ave. sewer. Anaheim voters were decisive in the support of the project. The total turnout was poor—1753 of the city's 6500-odd registered voters cast a ballot—but those who did vote were overwhelmingly for it. There were 1632 yes's and 113 no's in Anaheim. The price of adequate sewage facilities to Anaheimers is estimated at some $1,040,000. This includes Anaheim's share in the construction costs of the actual Magnolia line itself plus the cost of "stop-gap" expansion work at the Cost of Adequate Sewage Line The cost of adequate sewage to Anaheimers is estimated at $1,040,000 by Magnolia Trunk planners. Broken down, this includes $549,900 for Anaheim's share in construction of the acutal 12 mile line itself; $85,300 for expansion of present sewage facilities; and $404,800 for domestic sewer installations necessary to take advantage of upcoming Magnolia facilities. Each city and sanitary district pays a share of the Magnolia trunk construction cost based on estimate use of the sewage line. What the sewer project will cost the individual citizen has not yet been determined. There are questions of bond terms and interest rates to be answered. However, an indication of possible cost to the Anaheim property owner is found in tentative calculations of sewage officials. Forty year bonds at three and one-half per cent interest would call for a tax rate of 33 cents per 100 dollars assessed valuation, according to JOS manager Nel- "Right on schedule." That's the situation with the 1950 YMCA member-at-large and Cash roundup campaign, according to Y secretary Tommy Thomason. So far Y rounders have corraled 40 per cent of their goal which is $11,000 and 1000 new members-at-large. Figures tabulated last night at a regular check-in meeting at the White Temple Methodist church corral showed 136 new members and $1324 logged since the last count. Brings the total to date to 344 members and $4372. Top Ranch for the second time was Frank Kellogg's Double A outfit. The Kellogg rounders turned in 36 new members and $238. Close behind were Paul Demaree and his Triangle Y group with 35 members and $222. Advanced gift spokes last night recorded 40 contributors and an aggregate $732 contribution. Other ranches reporting were Clyde Nickle: 13 members and $68; and Bob Quast: 12 members and $64. Top section to date, according to secretary Thomason's figures, is that run by Howard Pannier which has a total of 39 new members and $386. Top section last night was Harry Peterson's which totalled 22 and $108. Ed. Jordt wound up as the hardest-working cowpoke at last night's session. He reported five new members and $70. Ted "See the People" Payne continued to pace advanced gift spokes with a total of 30 members and $350. All of the winners took home the bacon in half pound packages after last night's report meeting. Next get together is slated tomorrow night, 9:01, at the White Temple Church. Anaheim voters were decisive in the support of the project. The total turnout was poor—1753 of the city's 6500-odd registered voters cast a ballot—but those who did vote were overwhelmingly for it. There were 1632 yes's and 113 no's in Anaheim. The price of adequate sewage facilities to Anaheimers is estimated at some $1,040,000. This includes Anaheim's share in the construction costs of the actual Magnolia line itself plus the cost of "stop-gap" expansion work at the treatment plant and on the sections of the Euclid ave. outfall which have fallen into disrepair. The cost also includes the price of necessary domestic sewer lines. Second State Draft Call Set For 3391 Men SACRAMENTO (AP) — Report-for-induction orders will be sent out in the next 10 days to 3391 Californians. The second call-up of the Korean war was announced today by Col. Kenneth H. Leitch, state director of Selective Service. Men tagged for army service will be inducted in October. Of the 3391 registrants, Leitch said not more than 2949 actually will be delivered to the army. The quota includes enough extra draftees to cover the usual losses. California is supplying 2968 men in response to the first call, issued earlier this month. In addition, the state has an estimated 4200 quota for November. Draft headquarters works on the theory that 30 per cent of those ordered to report will qualify for postponement of induction. County quotas give Orange 65. Santa Ana Traffic Commission Quits Santa Ana City Traffic Safety commission resigned in a body at yesterday afternoon's meeting of the City Council. A letter of explanation to the council stated that the traffic safety commission had no authority, no budget, and no attention from the council. All five members of the commission resigned including Chairman Gilbert Yorba, Secretary M. E. Patillo, Barney Koster, L. R. Quick and Carl Ris. The council indicated it would not replace the commission but matters formerly referred to that body will be handled by committees of the council. The commission received and made recommendations on matters of traffic safety in Santa Ana. Members were not paid.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1950 Allied Forces To Span Han Big Three Issue Hands Off Reich Note to Russia FRANFURT, Germany (UP) — The United States joined Britain and France today in a warning to Soviet Russia to keep hands off Western Germany. The three nations moved to end their state of war with Germany Four Anaheimers Win Fair Firsts Judging of exhibits and displays continued in full swing today at the Los Angeles County Fair at Pomona and four Anaheimers emerged with first place ribbons for their efforts. Attendance at the Fair went over the 200,000 mark officials reported. The number, since the Fair opened, they said, was not a record of any type but was considered nonetheless a satisfactory turnout. Sunday's rain, they indicated, cut the crowd below the anticipated level. The Anaheim winners: Mrs. Ella Solt, 211 N. West st., two firsts for quilts. Mrs. Jessie Puzza, 17151 E. Walnut, first for centerpiece crochet. Mrs. Hazel Keech, 416 S. Helena, first for collar and cuff set. Mrs. Mattie Brown, 114 N. Helena st., first for ceramics.

State Housing Boom Tabbed to Continue Another Three Years CERAMENTO (P)—The hous-room that has made California and away the nation's leading building state shows no sign up for at least three years. State finance department re-released today surveying the nation says the more than 80,000 ages each year, the "un-ing" of families from rela- homes and the many new-ers to the state will sustain boom. And the prospect is that in 1950 state will shatter its own 1948 ing record—even in view of curtailments which may because of the Korean war. 1948, the state began 20,000 valued at $1,450,000,000 (B). Activity for the first six months year indicates the 1950 to- tal will be about 240,000 units valued at $1,750,000,000 (B). Since the war, 864,000 new homes have been started in the state. In 1947 and 1948, California had new housing valued at about three times that of New York—the second ranking state, which has a populatiuon in excess of 3,000,000 (M) more people than California. And last year,, home construc-tion in this state was greater than the combined 17 state total of the New England, west north central and east south central region of the U. S. During the last three years, California, with 1/14 of the nation's population, has built more than 1/8 of the nation's new homes. This terrific boom is having a healthy impact on the state's economy. It is a $1,750,000,000 (B) annual industry employing directly Before Reds Rally Fighters TOKYO (P)—Allied liberation forces rushed up river - crossing equipment today to jump the Han water barrier at Seoul before red defenses can be ralliéd. The Allies were racing against oncoming communist reinforcements for possession of the besieged capital city. The reds appeared to be aban-doning the old Allied southeast beachhead box perimeter in an effort to save Seoul for themselves. Marine-led Allies were mounting a 40,000-man offensive aimed at spanning the half-mile-wide Han river and winning Seoul quickly. Marine forward elements were reported two miles from Seoul—across the unbridged river from the red-held capital. The southeast front was cracking wide open under pressure and red withdrawals toward the Allied second front 150 miles away. A shield of Sherman and Pershing tanks and infantry was thrown out on the Marine south flank in Seoul's cross-river suburbs to block off the north-bound reds. There the Allies had a tank-ringed perimeter set up with great firepower. Advance red columns were reported within a few hours' drive of Seoul. Seventh Division Infantrymen—Americans and South Koreans—streamed from Inchon into positions across the main highway leading into Seoul from the south. The Marine vanguard had driven into Yongdungpo, Seoul suburb on the Han's southwest bank, and another Leatherneck force pushed about seven miles—also on the southwest bank of the Han. Korean reds rolling north in motorized columns faced the task of fighting through this barrier to Seoul or running the right flank. As red Koreans streamed out of positions on the southeast Korean front in their northward flight, Allied forces punched ahead there. They seized Waegwan, fought into the hilltop walled city of Kasan, put at least 4000 men across the Naktong and a bridge over the river—all in the center of the old 125 mile perimeter—and forged gains on the Masan and (Continued on Page 5) And last year, home construction in this state was greater than the combined 17 state total of the New England, west north central and east south central region of the U.S. During the last three years, California, with 1/14 of the nation's population, has built more than 1/6 of the nation's new homes. This terrific boom is having a healthy impact on the state's economy. It is a $1,750,000,000 (B) annual industry employing directly 150,000 workers and at least twice that many indirectly in such fields as insurance, real estate, building supplies and furniture. RTC Unit Pages New Officers Twenty lieutenants are needed to fill vacancies in a Replacement Training Center Unit now being formed at the Sixth Army Reserve Headquarters, 1012 N. Main st., Santa Ana, according to commander Lt. Col. Ray Busch. If mobilized, the unit will be assigned to the training of recruits, Col. Busch said.

The total for the state's public schools may go above $211,905,-637. The final total depends on what is done with $3,350,000 voted by the legislature to districts with excessive growth. The State Constitution provides $120 for each pupil on the basis of average daily attendance (ADA). The ADA for the 1949-50 school year was 1,718,267—up 101,420 or 6.27 per cent over the preceding year. Here is a breakdown on the portionments certified to State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel: ADA: $206,192,040. Education of physically handicapped and mentally retarded children: $4,450,131. State aid for school transportation: $1,203,466. The apportionment will leave $255,865 for emergencies. Elementary schools will get $144,323,946 of the total fund; high schools, $51,129,628; junior colleges, $10,902,196; and county school service fund, $5,294,001.
