Mr. Truman added the star at a White House ceremony attended by many high government officials, including the military leaders who serve with Bradley on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, of which he is chairman. The president gritted his teeth and shoved to get 'the star through Bradley's uniform. Beside it he placed the Gold Seal of the United States, which a five star general alone is privileged to wear. Then he grinned and shook hands with his tall, spare, fellow-Missourian. He handed Bradley his commission to the new rank. Mrs. Bradley gave the general a big kiss as the ceremony ended.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1950 Reds Dig In For S Truman Veto On Subversives Faces Over-ride LATE NEWS WASHINGTON (AP) — The House today overrode overwhelming President Truman's veto of the anti-subversive bill which he said would "give aid and comfort to those who would destroy us." The roll call vote was 286 to 48—63 more than needed. The bill was sped to the Senate, which was set to follow suit and enact the law over Mr. Truman's veto. WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman today vetoed the bill to the guests of the Lions' Line Davis, Mary Ann Banahl. Rear row: Ken Sale, Clare Van Hoore-Zette Photo by Beyer) WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman today vetoed the bill to curb subversives. The president sent a long veto message to the House, which was waiting to override him on the issue. He called the bill a measure which would "give aid and comfort to those who would destroy us." Further, he said it would help communists instead of hurting them and "weaken our existing internal security measures." The president sent up his veto message in unusual form. It was double-spaced with a one-line letter attached asking that "every member of the Congress" read and consider the message "very carefully" before balloting on passage of the bill over his veto. But, regardless of the seven points he raised against the legislation in a 5500-word message, Congress was ready to make the bill a law. Among other things, it would require communists and leaders. (Continued on page 5) Painter Paints Hubby Right Out Of the Picture LOS ANGELES (AP)—It took quite a while—12 weeks, to be exact—to paint two rooms. But Claude T. Crotsenburg didn't find out why until, one morning, the painter stayed for breakfast. Then the slow brush-welder and Mrs. Crotsenburg gave him the word: Crotsenburg must go. They were in love and he should step out of their lives and the house, leaving everything—including the television set—behind. They offered to keep up the payments on the set, though. That was the story told in the divorce complaint filed yesterday by Crotsenburg, 56. He said he was on the graveyard shift at the post office when his wife Maxine, 43, employed the painter, who was unidentified in the complaint. Crotsenburg said it to the whelmingly President Truman's veto of the anti-subversive bill which he said would "give aid and comfort to those who would destroy us." The roll call vote was 286 to 48—63 more than needed. The bill was sped to the Senate, which was set to follow suit and enact the law over Mr. Truman's veto. NAPPING MARINES—U. S.

Phantom Whistler’s Murder Threats Force Louisiana Girl Into Hiding PARADIS La., (AP)—An 18-year-old-bride-to-be was hiding out today from a phantom whistler who has threatened to kill her before she can marry her fiance Oct. 1. Mrs. Clifford Cadow said last night she had sent her daughter away from the home where an unknown man has whistled a shrill and eerie funeral march almost nightly for months and more recently has threatened to kill the girl, pretty Jacquelyn Cadow. Mrs. Cadow refused to say where her daughter was hiding but denied that Jacquelyn had attempted to foil the whistler by marrying state trooper Herbert Belsom, 26, ahead of schedule. "My daughter is going to get married Oct. 1. She is going to have a big wedding and nobody is going to stop her," the mother said. A half dozen of Sheriff Leon Vial's deputies who have been guarding the snug, white house, were nowhere to be seen after Jacquelyn had left the house last engagement was announced 1, she said, the whistling chase to a funeral dirge and was more frequently. Soon there began a series telephone threats to kill Jacqueline before her wedding day. Several times before Jacqueline has fled her home in an effort to get away from the funeral whistling. But each time a phone call has been placed to house to which she had fled, the phantom whistler warns that he knew where she was planned to kill her. Anaheim Paper Lawsuit Aired Dispute between buyer and seller over business and financial affair of the Orange County News, Anaheim, which developed into a lawsuit, was aired yesterday by Superior Judge Robert Gardner and hearing will be required. Rinshed-Mason Sues to Recover $67,500 from Santa Ana Venture Having abandoned its original choice of location in Santa Ana and moved to Anaheim, the Rinshed-Mason Co., of Detroit, manufacturers of paints and varnish, has filed suit in Superior Court to recovel the $67,500 it paid for the Santa Ana property. Action was brought against B.C. and Brunhilde Weller Skinner of Dunedin, Fla., from whom the property was purchased, and the Orange county Title Co., escrow holders. The plaintiff company contends that terms of the escrow agreement, requiring that the buildings purchased be structurally adequate for its purpose, had not been met. After considerable delay in obtaining approval of the county and Santa Ana city planning commissions for use of the site for paint manufacture, the Rinshed-Mason Co., found that the main building it had purchased was declared unsafe for its purpose. Structural engineers of the company and the county building inspector decided that the second and third floors of the building would not carry the weight of equipment and material required in manufacturing operations. Extensive reconstruction would be required to make the building safe, the complaint states. Temperatures The temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 this afternoon was 86° degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 82 degrees at 3:30 p.m., yesterday. Low was 55 at 6:30 a.m., today. Anaheim Paper Lawsuit Aired Dispute between buyer and seller over business and financial affairs of the Orange County News, Anaheim, which developed into a law suit, was aired yesterday by Superior Judge Robert Gardner and hearing will be resumed Monday after a week-end recess. The American and Oriental Friendship assn. which purchased the weekly newspaper from Mrs. Margaret Wright last March filed suit to recover the $6000 paid down, and to cancel the $1,000 note representing the balance of the $21,000 purchase price. Mr. J. Lee, manager of the paper testified in court yesterday that his circulation claimed to be 2000, actually was only 13 paid subscribers; also that the monthly income was much less than the $500 represented. The new owners have been compelled to make up an operating deficit, he said. Attorney S. B. Kaufman, representing Mrs. Wright, who has brought a counter suit to force close the $15,000 note and charge mortgage against the newspaper plant, developed on cross-examination of Lee that the society had been publishing other publications in the plant, and that income had dropped following filing of the lawsuit and statements regarding low circulation. The plaintiff society also seeked judgment against the Burrow Escrow co. of Santa Ana for $6000 on the claim that the money was paid over to Mrs. Wright without obtaining an agreed lease on the building which houses the newspaper. The Escrow seeks judgement against the plaintiff for its cost of defense. ZETTE Weather More of the same today and Saturday.

Not any more. Sunday is. Because Sunday is a 25-hourlong day. Daylight saving time goes off at 2 a.m., Sunday morning, thereby giving back the hour which was lost earlier this year. And what's more... We'll bet you didn't know this was the last full day of summer. Autumn officially starts tomorrow morning at 7:44. Summer is bowing out with a mixture of weather for the country. There were cool spots, warm and humid regions and some rain. It was still summer weather over most of the southeastern states, the southwest and along most of the Pacific Coast. It was more like autumn in a belt from the New England states westward across the Great Lakes and the Plains states. Showers and thunderstorms Fleeing civilians said the communists are hastily putting up stone barricades and digging trenches in the streets for their last-ditch defense of the Korean capital. The red defenders in the city are isolated by Allied deployments from getting outside reinforcements and their positions are under constant Allied air bombing. While bitter, hand-to-hand fighting raged on two sides of the ancient city. Allied forces smashed out 20-mile advances from both the old and new beachheads to cut off red reinforcements for Seoul. The airfield at Suwon, 20 miles south of the capital, fell to tankled units of the U.S. Seventh Division rolling down from the Seoul front. Other elements entered Suwon city astride the major rail line and highway leading up from the rapidly expanding southeast beachhead, Allied forces were punching ahead on all sectors of the southeast beachhead. In some sectors the reds were retreating northward but in others they fought stubbornly. Hundreds surrendered or were taken prisoner. AP Correspondent Don Whitehead, with American and South Korean Marines outside Seoul, reported that by mid-afternoon Friday the Marines had not entered Seoul proper but patrols were moving toward the city limits on the west side. "The sprawling city of more than 1,000,000 normal population may become one of the bloodiest battlegrounds of the Korean war." Whitehead reported. "The reds are preparing for house-to-house fighting. "This could mean the destruction of a large part of the capital," Whitehead said. Red artillery roared into action against the Marines from public park positions on South Mountain inside Seoul. An estimated 3000 reds were reported to have honey-combed the mountain—on Seoul's south side—with deep defense works. Whitehead said red defense forces were estimated to total 10,000.

Mr. Hoover, 76, was not hospitalized and now is up and around his suite in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, a spokesman said. However, his physician advised against speaking engagements which require travel and undue strain—at least for the present.

Elected to take over Maas' duties was Ernest Richards, Jr. Dwain Harvey trustee, reported for duty with the Navy last week. Ernest Richards, Sr., was elected to take over Dwain's position. Hitch Besets Budget Pack Buena Park Plans Buena Park is having its troubles with "industrial" growth. News leaked out recently that Budget Pack had an eye on Buena Park for a new $600,000 plant when the County Supervisors said the company could eliminate a fire-safety sprinkler system from the proposed building in favor of more doors and windows. It was believed by the supervisors that the water supply in Buena Park was insufficient to operate such a sprinkler system in fire emergency. Apparently the action of the Board of Supervisors was the first inkling some of the residents of Buena Park had of the building plans. Protests from residents in the Indiana and Artesia street areas then began to be heard. They say the decision to put up the plant near their homes was kept from them until it was too late to protest effectively. WOUNDED VET TO MARRY STAGE STAR LOS ANGELES (P)—Hugo E.
