MEYLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Better news from Korea... The news of the Allied invasion of upper South Korea has been accepted as good news by the folks of Anaheim. Have you noticed how much brighter the local people discuss the war? People who a few days ago were sort of glum over the war news are now beginning to venture the thought that we may have this Korean deal whipped—or at least beginning to go our way. This comes as a welcome relief, because it's only a couple of weeks ago that the Allied forces were facing a desperate situation as the result of a powerful red offensive on the east coast in the corridor leading to the vital supply port of Pusan. The enemy made a massive breakthrough, and there seemed That's long enough to mass a lot of strength. In sizing up the situation it must be remembered that hundreds of thousands of seasoned and well-equipped Chinese and Manchurian troops reportedly are available to reinforce the North Koreans if necessary. Indeed the indications are that a virtually inexhaustible stream of communist forces could be kept coming down through the North Korean funnel against MacArthur's men. Whether this will happen presumably depends on Moscow's decision. Such a development could produce another general conflict, and it is safe to assume that Russia will be chary on that account. She doesn't want another world news are now beginning to venture the thought that we may have this Korean deal whipped—or at least beginning to go our way. This comes as a welcome relief, because it's only a couple of weeks ago that the Allied forces were facing a desperate situation as the result of a powerful red offensive on the east coast in the corridor leading to the vital supply port of Pusan. The enemy made a massive break-through—and there seemed to be nothing to prevent him from exploiting it. Why he didn't is still an unsolved mystery. Since then the Allied forces have made an astonishing recovery. In successful counter-offensives they have largely restored their positions around Taegu and Pohang. So far we've had little explanation of the new offenses. However, we are entitled to assume that movement of troops and equipment from the United States and Allied countries has been accumulating strength for U.N. Commander-in-Chief MacArthur. It takes a long time to move transports halfway around the world—but actually, while it seems only yesterday that the war started, some 12 weeks have passed. reinforce the North Koreans if necessary. Indeed the indications are that a virtually inexhaustible stream of communist forces could be kept coming down through the North Korean funnel against MacArthur's men. Whether this will happen presumably depends on Moscow's decision. Such a development could produce another general conflict, and it is safe to assume that Russia will be chary on that account. She doesn't want another world war—not now, anyway. However, it is probable the Korean war could be greatly protracted—without precipitating a major conflict — by providing steady though limited reanforcements for the North Koreans. That would suit the Soviet strategy of keeping America and her Allies engaged in as many costly adventures as possible, so to weaken their economic structures. This is speculation which only time can answer. Meanwhile, although we can feel satisfaction in the current news from Korea, we shall be wise go gird ourselves for a good deal more fierce fighting. Much depends on what outside support the North Koreans get, and upon Moscow's decision as to how far the conflict should be allowed to go. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHNL 75 Years Ago Dedication of the Grange Hall at Westminster A large assemblage was present at the dedication of the new Grange Hall at Westminster on Saturday. It was a gala day for the Colony, one that will ever be remembered with pleasure by the many participants. There were gathered together from far and near, the wisdom, the wit and beauty of the entire section, and enjoyment and an interchange of kindly feeling was the order of the day. The new hall occupies the upper story of the Co-operative Store building. It is commodious and complete in all its appointments, and is a credit to the enterprise of its builders. The hall was decorated in true Grange style with After dinner, all adjourned to the hall where the order of exercises were as follows: Welcome Song. Toasts: "Store company," responded to by Wm. McPherson. "The Grange," responded to by George Thompkins. Song—"Beautiful Grange that We Love." Pomona, "What Should the Westminster Fruits Be," responded to by Mr. Danskin.

The good news, however, stop Separates from needing Collins about sending ued American boys into the lines.

It is commodious and complete in all its appointments, and is a credit to the enterprise of its builders. The hall was decorated in true Grange style with the fairest products of the country. The choicest of flowers, tastily arranged, lent their perfume and contended for beauty with the goodly array of luscious and tempting fruits, among which we noticed a basket of huge grapes of the Muscat of Alexandria variety, raised by Mr.-Danskin, beautiful apples by Messrs. Craig and Strong, and the blooded leaf peach, a new and elegant variety. Large ears of corn were hung from the ceiling, some of which were over a foot in length, and were raised without irrigation. A large bunch of onions was also displayed any of which would weigh fully three pounds. A mammoth string of tomatoes, the largest we ever saw, and last, but by no means least, two small squashes (they call them small here) weighing respectively 131 and 119½ pounds. The Grange hall held a secret meeting in the morning, after which the doors were thrown open to the public. The orator of the day, Mr. A. G. Cook, was introduced by Mr. Craig, the master of the Grange, and favored the audience with a pleasing address sparkling with gems of wit and thought. Judge Evey then addressed the assemblage with remarks relative to the organization and purpose of the Granges. Worthy Master Craig then invited all present to retire to the grainery near the store, where one of the finest of dinners had been prepared by the ladies of the colony.

After which the audience dispersed, in the best of good humor, wishing success to Westminster and the Westminster Granges. 50 Years Ago William Schulte, one of the best known residents of northern Orange county, was married in this city some days ago to Mrs. Emma Smith, recently from Nebraska. Rev. G. W. Coultas officiated, Mr. and Mrs. Schulte after a sojourn at Coronado Beach have returned to their home on Orangethorpe avenue. A number of Fullerton people went to Long Beach on Monday to attend the Woodman of the World picnic. 25 Years Ago L. C. McClellan, 542 S. Lemon st., left the latter part of the week for a month's visit to eastern cities. He expects to visit his parents in Lyons, Nebr., and friends in Topeka, Des Moines and Oklahoma City. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Sharp of Pasadena are guests at the home of Mrs. Eunice Barnes of South Ohio street. Collins added, however, that equipment was now beginning roll, which caused Senator Johnson of Texas, the watch-dog over military attention, to ask why the superintendent bazookas had not mass-produced earlier. Bazookas In Nick Of Time "It was fortunate that we feeted them as soon as we replied Collins, who commenced the capture of Cherbourg Normandy invasion and plenty of bazooka experience went on to explain the difficulty developing the delicate, pear-shaped for these new zookas, which finally stopped Soviet 60-ton tanks.

Hal Boy By DON WHITE WASHINGTON—In the most imitative war report yet given ingress, Army Chief of Staff Joe Collins promised no more retreats Korea and predicted the Chinese communists would not attack armada. General Collins summed up the real situation for the Senate armed Services committee behind seized doors. To the best of his knowledge and judgement, he retorted, "there will be no more fallback." The good news, however, didn't stop Senators from needing General Collins about sending untrained American boys into the front lines. It was not our intention to do it," Collins explained. "You just remember that we didn't live enough trained men in Japan." He pointed out that Japan was sort of training grounds, because every available inch was under cultivation. Thus, the army found it difficult to give combat training under actual conditions, using live explosion charges. Tank shells, he said, could ricochet for miles and would be likely to kill civilians. Yet, this is the kind of training needed to condition men for war. Collins added that training was matter of comparison anyway, that a soldier got more out of three months intensified train-under emergency conditions than a full year of peacetime training. The Army's chief problem is not lack of manpower, but lack of equipment, the Chief of Staff urified. "People wonder why we don't tell up more National Guard units and more organized reserves," he plained. "Why call up men incesses of the equipment we have room, and noting that economy-minded Senator Byrd of Virginia was not present, he observed: 'Be sure to tell Senator Byrd about that.'" General Collins also talked about the 38th parallel, along which his son served as an Army officer before the invasion. "The 38th Parallel is nothing but an imaginary line. It doesn't follow any river, mountain range or natural barrier," he explained. Sometimes it cuts right through the middle of a rice paddy, hence the people living along the 38th Parallel "pay no attention to it." However, Collins didn't say whether the Allied armies would pay any attention to it. The decision he indicated, would be left up to the United Nations. Axman Tauriello Dapper Congressman Tony Tauriello, the Italian-American from Buffalo, is now greeted in the Congressional cloakrooms as "bad news Tony." This is because Secretary of Defense Louey Johnson resigned just a few days after Tauriello's scathing letter demanded that he quit. The morning Johnson's ouster was announced, Tauriello received a flock of congratulations, plus an inference from Wisconsin's Andy Biemiller that Tauriello was an axman for the White House. "Who is next on your list?" Biemiller asked. The Buffalo Democrat and first-termer protested to no avail that he had no inside from the president. To which Rep. John McCormack of Massachusetts, the majority leader, said: "You know about Johnson going before I did, Tony." Rep. Stephen Young of Ohio pulled Tauriello into a corner and told him Johnson's resignation would so bolster Democratic chances in Ohio that Senator Robert Taft would probably be defeated. Colony Quips There have been many folks all dithered up about what has been appearing in this column in the past few months. By far the vast majority have said they were on our side—they were the growers. Some from the outside have not liked it at all—they are the hired hands of the industry, in the main, and the column was not written to please them. In fact, it was not written to please anyone, but was an attempt to explore some of the things we believed were wrong with the California citrus industry. We have no axe to grind, except to do everything in our power to see that the local grower gets more money for his fruit. Some of the things done by our shippers have been so raw that we wonder how they got away with it. So we started to dig in and about a year ago or so we started to inject a little citrus gossip into this column. We found the subject so big and so startling that we kept on. From the first we received more letters from grower readers then we had over received when writing on a controversial subject. They all urged us to keep it up and not to be "bought off" by anyone. So we got the idea that the column might be of some small service to the industry and with that in mind have kept the citrus industry the main subject matter. We have not hesitated to use names when it was our conviction that the interests of the grower would be better served. Being an Exchange grower for many years and even an Exchange packing house director we still named names and places, all in the inter- Maybe Mr. Prizer took the contract with M. We can't picture his getting to sell their fruits. Wonder if he ever took plain facts? Hal Boyd By DON WHITTEN (For HAL BOYD) ON THE ROAD TO —The North Korean marching down the naked.

The Army's chief problem is not lack of manpower, but lack of equipment, the Chief of Staff mentioned. "People wonder why we don't call up more National Guard units and more organized reserves," he explained. "Why call up men inaccessible to the equipment we have supply them with?" Collins added, however, that the equipment was now beginning to fall into the hands of Senator Lynn Johnson of Texas, the Senate's watchdog over military production, to ask why the super tank-monitrating bazookas had not been mass-produced earlier. Bazookas In Nick of Time "It was fortunate that we perpted them as soon as we did," replied Collins, who commanded the capture of Cherbourg in theormandy invasion and has hadenty of bazooka experience. He went on to explain the difficulty in developing the delicate, precision cells for these new super bazookas, which finally stopped the Soviet 60-ton tanks. The shells please a concentrated ray of heat that can bore through 14 inches. Armor—a project that took considerable perfecting by Army ordnance. After the handmade models were completed, Collins added, it was a problem to convert to mass production, and the army was lucky in having them finished just as the Korean war broke. Collins brief the Senators from war map, which caused him to mark that the Army has developed a new plastics process for building relief maps, reducing the cost of relief maps from $35 to 60 cents per square foot. This caused Kentucky's Senator Virgil Chapman to look around the Buffalo Democrat and first-termer protested to no avail that he had no inside from the president. To which Rep. John McCormack of Massachusetts, the majority leader, said: "You know about Johnson going before I did, Tony." Rep. Stephen Young of Ohio pulled Taurielio into a corner and told him Johnson's resignation would so bolster Democratic chances in Ohio that Senator Robert Taft would probably be defeated. L A. Mayor Suspects Scandal Forthright Mayor Fletcher Bowron of Los Angeles has asked housing officials to investigate his own city council. At a private breakfast with a top housing official, Bowron duntly charged that he suspected some of his city council had received a brie in connection with controlling rents and urged his guest to ask Attorney General McGrath to order a federal grand jury investigation. "I've all my 20 years in public life, I have never seen a city council like this one," observed Mayor Bowron. "When I first came in as mayor, I had a bad city council, but I would trade this one for my first council any time." NOTE—Meanwhile the Housing Expeditor's office has sent an investigator to Los Angeles to find out why the rent ceiling was lifted at a time when the war boom is bringing more people into the city. The investigator sent back to Washington an unconfirmed report that a city council member has received a Cadillac as a pay-off, but the investigator also reported candidly that the rent office had done a poor job of administering rents controls in Los Angeles, and had been particularly unfair to the small apartment owners.

Citrus Market LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19 (AP)—The Federal State service reported today oranges, lemons and grapefruit unchanged. The California Fruit Growers Exchange reported today markets California oranges were steady. Representative prices by size: Sunkist (first grade): 126s 6.15; 150s 6.45; 176s 6.220s 6.51; 252s 6.68; 288s 6.91. Choice (second grade)—126s 5.20; 150s 5.85; 176s 5.220s 5.90; 252s 5.96; 288s 6.29.

This item Finley and Prizer are kicking about took up exactly six lines in a column and we said then it had been reported to us. But we will look into the matter. Finley at least took note of the column—BUT why has he failed to answer the letter we wrote back to him the same day we received his? Why has he, in effect, refused to tell us how much concentrate the EOP has put out? Is this a secret? Are they waiting until "all the returns" are in so they can announce that once again the grower got what was coming to him? That once again the Exchange grower would be made to know that he was in an organization that, unlike Minute Maid which was being operated for a profit, he was in the Exchange to be "taken care" of as was intimated by Mr. Wilcox. Tomorrow we will consider Mr. Prizer's attack on six lines which appeared in this column only as a report. To the important things we have been writing about Mr. Prizer makes no reference. We mean the "cheaper fruit" contract with Minute Maid which took money out of every growers pocket this year. Maybe Mr. Prizer knew about the contract with Minute Maid? We can't picture his growers wanting to sell their fruit that cheap. Wonder if he ever told them the plain facts?

Hal Boyle By DON WHITEHEAD (For HAL BOYLE) ON THE ROAD TO SEOUL (AP) —The North Korean soldier came marching down the road—stark naked. He was young and stockily built and limped painfully into captivity. The bullet had hit the fleshy part of his left leg, leaving a small hole where it entered and a jagged wound where it had emerged. The Marine bullet had felled him when he tried to run away. A Leatherneck walked behind him with a rifle pointed at his back. And then the Marine ordered the naked soldier to sit beside the road while an interpreter questioned him. The Leatherneck glared at the young communist who had blood smeared on his face and who cowered with his hands clasped behind his head. Pfc. Joseph Saia of Sacramento, said: "That guy shot the sergeant. He got the sergeant right above the heart. He didn't live long." Young Saia stared at the red. "He had on civilian clothes when we shot him but the boys stripped him and sent him down the hill," Saia said. The interpreter finished his questions and the Marine snarled: "Take him to the stockade. Take him back before I . . . " And they took the red soldier away. Up on a hillside in his command post Col. Lewis B. (Chesty) Puller of Saluda, Va., sat in a graveyard looking at his maps. The colonel is a tough, leathery little man who still is fighting at 50 years of age after 33 years with the Marines. He could wear a chest full of medals for heroism on such places as New Britain, Pelellieu and other Pacific spots. On his maps Colonel Puller traced the progress of his men from the point of their dawn attack to the hill where the sergeant was shot down late in the day.
