Next action of the council was to authorize re-advertisement for pipe for the Magnolia Trunk line. Bids will be accepted on nearly 12 miles of pipe. Councilmen set October 3 as the date for opening bids submitted. Originally the opening date was September 29. The question of who shall pay school crossing guards in Anaheim which has been tossed back and forth between the council and the Anaheim School Board for several weeks, reappeared in City Hall last night. Councilmen were apprised that the school board considers its hands "legally tied" by regulations which prohibit payment by schools for such purposes. Councilmen Boney suggested referring the problem to the attorney-general for an ultimate decision.

Better Beards This Year Says Whisker Chairman "The beard situation in Anaheim is getting better all the time," Whiskerino Chairman Ralph Rouland reported today following a routine inspection of hairy-faced Anaheim males. "However," he added, "there is still room for expansion and improvement in many quarters. "There is time, too," he said, pointing to the five-week gap which exists between now and the Whiskerino contest which serves traditionally as one of the high-points of Anaheim's Hallowe'en Festival. Rouland singled out, among others, a substantial number of smooth, sleek Anaheim businessmen as targets for the beard barrage. "People with beards who meet the people will inevitably begin meeting more people with beards," the Whiskerino Chairman announced solemnly. "And that's what we want," he concluded. "The more the hairier." The choice of styles is broadening this year, Rouland reiterated, giving occasion for exercise of extreme imagination. Prizes at the Whiskerino will be awarded for the best Beau Brummel Beard, the Scragglest Beard and the best Sourdough Beard. MOD Expands British Labor Gov’t Barely Beats New Vote LONDON (AP)—The Labor government took a renewed grip on Britain’s political reins today after beating down an almost-successful opposition attempt to force a new election. The vote was too close for comfort, however. The government mustered a margin of only six—306 to 300—in thwarting a Conservative bid to unseat it on the issue of steel nationalization. The crucial ballot was taken in the House of Commons last night on a motion by Conservative leader Winston Churchill. In effect it asked the Commons to go on record as opposing the government's taking over of Britain's steel industry next January 1. Parliament passed the Nationalization bill last year over bitter Conservative opposition. But in the new Parliament elected last February Labor's majority was cut to the bone. Political observers predicted that Prime Minister Clement Attlee's regime would do its best to retain power at least until spring, despite its slim voting margin over the combined Conservative-Liberal opposition. Several informed sources indicated the soft-spoken Labor chieftain is planning a new election early next year, after steel nationalization and Britain's big rearmament program get underway. Urging his motion, Churchill challenged the government's right on "so slender a margin," to complete its steel program, "knock the other half" of the nation about "and ride roughshod over them." ROD BRASTAD will be selected at each performance. All winners will compete Monday night, October 30 for the opportunity to appear Wednesday, November 1 on the NTG Backstage Television Show, starring Nils T. Granlund. Mr. Brastad states that the contest is open to all Orange county residents, young and old, amateur and professional. Entry blanks can be obtained now by writing the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, 136 N. Los Angeles st. Entries close October 5 and all acts will be audited before opening night, October 26. 53 New Homes To Be Constructed Clearing of trees and excavation work has started as building permits were OK'd yesterday for 53 new homes to be built in the Miles Rancho tract. The project, to be constructed by Shinn Home Builders, Inc., 5160 Venice blvd., Los Angeles, will be located on Julianna and Victor streets, just west of N. Palm st. Five different floor plans will be used in the project of single-family dwellings. The homes will be both two-and three-bedroom types, with the cost of construction set at $8000 and $9000. MOD Expands Central Office After 45 years of operation, Mutual Orange Distributors is still experiencing growing pains. The board of directors Monday authorized the expenditure of $7000 for addition of new office space at the central office in Redlands. The proposed new offices will house the general manager and other members of the expanding staff. The firm of Gordon Donald of Redlands was successful bidder on the contract. Construction will start immediately, according to John M. Van Horn, business manager. The board also nominated J. A. Porter of Olive and Joe Imhof, MOD general sales manager as representatives on the Orange Administrative Committee, and Glenn A. Harris of La Habra on the Lemon Administrative Committee. The secretary of agriculture will make the appointments for a new two year term on November 1. An eastern market inspection tour for MOD packing house managers was also authorized for the latter part of this month. The central board will share the expenses of the trip with the five packing houses who elect to send their managers on the tour. The junket is proposed to better acquaint the managers with buying and selling procedures in eastern markets. ORANGE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD NAHEIM GAZETTE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1950 ing Toward Seoul's He Acheson Asks UN Military Peace Force NEW YORK (AP)—Secretary of State Acheson laid before the U. N.

Assembly today an American program to combat aggression anywhere in the world, including a provision for a peace patrol and military forces to back up United Nations decisions. He also suggested that the Assembly organize itself so it can meet "upon 24 hours notice" to act on any breach of the peace on which the veto - bounu Security council cannot act. This would apply in any subsequent case similar to the present Korean war. Giving a major outline of United States policy in the U.N., Acheson said a world organization with teeth to back up its decisions might deter the realists in the Kremlin from seeking the piece-meal dismemberment of the non-Soviet world. “If this does not occur, the increase in our defensive strength shall be the means of ensuring our survival and protecting the essential values of our societies,” he declared. Acheson proposed that the Formosa question should be placed on the Assembly agenda as a matter “of special and urgent importance.” Formosa now is the last stronghold of the Chinese Nationalists. Its waters now are being patrolled by American Naval units on orders of President Truman to prevent the spread of the Korean conflict throughout the Orient. The Secretary of State said the United States government believes the “problem of Formosa and the nearly 8,000,000 people who inhabit it should not be settled by force.” El Toro Chief Takes Over Maj. Gen. William Wallace has taken over the post of commanding general of Aircraft Fleet Marine Force Pacific, at El Toro Marine base. General Wallace, former director of Marine Corps aviation, assumed the post yesterday. He reviewed a battalion of Marines at El Toro Marine Air Station. He said plans are being carried out to make El Toro a permanent installation with construction of new buildings and other facilities. Temperatures The temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 this afternoon was 91 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 80 degrees at 2:30 p.m., yesterday. Low was 57 at Fullerton Councilmen Consider City Manager in County Bus Network Hassle The Fullerton city council—noting last night that it is in "hot water" over a proposal to center a county-wide bus network in Fullerton—heard a suggestion that Mayor Tom Eadington appoint a committee to study the feasibility of appointing a city manager. The city manager idea was advanced to provide "guidance" for the city council. The proposal stems from two councilmen's objections to a contract Mayor Eadington signed with Transit Authority, which reportedly would establish a vast bus network operating from Fullerton and fanning out over Orange county. The service originally was slated to embrace 700 buses with financial backing of $5,000,000. Both figures are said to have dwindled considerably. Out of this developed fireworks which have had resounding reprecussions in the city council, two weeks ago, the issue resulted in a "walkout" of the council. Councilman Jack Adams, a newcomer to the body, repeated a request he had made previously that action be taken to dissolve the arrangements which Mayor Eadington had dropped to $35,000. He also questioned why the company would incorporate in Nevada instead of in California. GALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY Weather S. Calif.—Clear today, tonight and Thursday except some early morning fog.

"I'm going dled the Han river yesterday under furious enemy fire and today were reported hammering at the gates of Seoul. General MacArthur's post-midnight communique said two armored columns were converging on Seoul against stiffening resistance. Enemy casualties were reported heavy. The Marines on their first lunges from the river bank drove ahead four miles, half way to the Korean capital, field dispatches said. The communique did not say how close the Marines are to Seoul now. Five hours after the first waves hit the far bank, powerful U.S. tanks were ferried across. They churned up sand banks, plowed over rice paddies and moved into the van on the march on Seoul. (The Army in Washington said South Korean Marines have landed at Samchok, on the east coast opposite Seoul. This is either to trap enemy forces on the east coast or is the beginning of a thrust along a lateral rail line toward Seoul, 118 air miles to the west.) Strong forward units of the 40,000-man Allied Liberation Corps stabbed along the tidal flats and rice paddies toward the heart of the Korean capital. They expected to take it during the day. Another Marine column was massing on the southwest bank of the Han only one mile from Seoul. It was in the cross-river suburbs of Yanghwa and Yongdungpo. The Leathernecks swarmed across the water barrier eight miles northwest of Seoul in amphibious tractors at dawn after being repulsed once in darkness. They quickly hacked out a 400-yard wide beachhead under a hail of red machinegun, small arms fire and light artillery bursts. While Marines fanned out into nearby, low-lying hills to knock (Continued on page 5) 26 Navy Men Die in Crash Of Big Plane PEARL HARBOR (P)—Twenty-six Navy men were killed yesterday in the crash of a four-engine transport plane bound for the Korean airlift—it was one of the worst such Navy disasters in the Pacific.

Jacquelyn and her mother, Mrs. Lord Cadow, came here from Paradise, La., home after sleepless nights during the prowler whistled his funeral march beneath girl's window. Jacquelyn, engaged to marry trooper Herbert Belsom, 26, New Orleans, on Oct. 1 told letters this story: At February the mystery man skulking around her home night, whistling tunes and calls. Police were called but he whistler always escaped. Real times when Jacquelyn's father, a night worker in an oil field, was away from home, someone broke in but always eluded police. When Jacquelyn's engagement was announced August 1, the whistled tunes changed to a funeral march. Then came telephoned threats. "Your daughter will never marry Herbert," the caller told Mrs. Cadow one night. "I'm going to kill her, and if I don't get her, I'll get your little boy, Mickey." Mickey is Jacquelyn's five-year-old brother. Monday night when Jacquelyn had fled to the home of relatives here in an effort to escape hearing the funeral march, the whistler called and said, "tell Jackie I know she's hiding. If I don't get her I'll get the boy."

Die in Crash Of Big Plane PEARL HARBOR (P)—Twenty-six Navy men were killed yesterday in the crash of a four-engine transport plane bound for the Korean airlift—it was one of the worst such Navy disasters in the Pacific. Debris - strewn waters outside Kwajalein Lagoon were searched for the bodies today. Four have been recovered. The Navy R5D transport, carrying 19 passengers and seven crewmen, was enroute from Hawaii to join the aerial supply operation for the new Allied beachhead near Seoul. It plunged into the water and exploded a few moments after taking off. Most of the men probably were still fastened in their seats with safety belts. The R5D is the Navy version of the C-54. "We have no hope of finding any survivors," said a Navy spokesman here. "This crash was about the worst—in number of casualties—that we've had in the Pacific. It was so close to shore, the radius of the search area is so narrow, any survivors would have been picked up hours ago." Airport watchers said the plane took off smoothly from Kwajalein field. They saw it suddenly plunge into the sea. It blew up within seconds. The airport tower operator said the only message received from the plane was a routine report that the pilot was changing radio frequencies.
