VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHE Fleeing Red Invasion Six Point Korea Peace Formula Calls for Unification of Country NEW YORK—(AP)—American sources today outlined a six-point peace formula for Korea calling for a unified country to be put back on its feet by the combined resources of the United Nations. The elements the United States considers essential for Korea’s future follow closely proposals advanced by Britain and Canada. The British are rushing work on a post-war plan for the nation. American informants said the "United States has no desire for bases or special privileges in Korea" and wants the country to be free from the domination of any other nation. It also desires Korea's admission to the U.N. and the organization of the country in such a way that it "will pose no threats to its neighbors"—China and the Soviet Sanitation Boards Consider Changes In Sewer Pacts Still working out details of joint agreements by which the county sanitation districts would acquire and operate existing sewerage facilities of the Joint Outfall System. Masons Honor Philip Brastad Eighty members of the Anaheim chapter of Royal Arch Masons attended a dinner last night in honor of Dr. J. P. Brastad, the oldest living Past High Priest of chapter 125. Attorney Leo Friis gave a short talk recalling experiences with and about Dr. Brastad during his many years of service to the Anaheim community. After his talk he awarded the Past High Priest pin to Dr. Brastad. John Phillip Brastad arrived in this country from Norway in 1886. He gained note as a musician, playing the mandolin, guitar and Italian harp. He worked his way through medical school in Sioux City, Iowa, with his music, and then practised in North Dakota for 13 years. Thirty-three years ago he came to Anaheim to start practising here. In 1920 he helped institute the Anaheim chapter of Royal Arch Masons and became the 2nd High Priest. Dr. Brastad is still practising as an occulist. He raises orchids as a hobby and is also interested in bio-chemistry. Two Masonic officials attended the dinner last night as guests. Mr. Stanley Chapman, Jr., Past High Priest of the Royal Arch Sanitation Boards Consider Changes In Sewer Pacts Still working out details of joint agreements by which the county sanitation districts would acquire and operate existing sewerage facilities of the Joint Outfall System the sanitation district boards in session last night briefly considered latest changes in the proposed agreements and passed them along to the next meeting of the joint boards. Principal change in the purchase agreement discussed was that providing for "perpetual use with ultimate purchase" clause instead immediate purchase of the JOS facilities. This change was presented by Special Counsel E. J. Marks to avoid the risk of federal litigation against the JOS directors for selling sewerage lines built partially by federal WPA funds. The county supervisors some years ago were threatened with such a federal suit for deeding the veteran's hall at Buena Park to the Buena Park Legion post. The hall was deeded back to the county, then placed under Legion management, to avert the damage suit. So the sanitation districts agreement with JOS was changed on that point. Also scheduled for consideration at next meeting will be a joint resolution authorizing test Citrus Wax Plan Enthuses Experts Southern California citrus experts are optimistic about a new waxing program that would save the industry up to $100,000 yearly, according to Robbins Russel, general manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors. Lowered rates in conjunction with a new formula will represent the first reduction the industry has experienced in 25 years. The new wax formula was developed in the laboratories of the Brogdex company at Pomona specifically to produce a high natural gloss on fruit prepared for shipment to the nation's consuming markets, stated W. J. Wallace, Jr., Brogdex company president. The use of this wax on citrus found flying in front of former invading North Koreans held there and Associated Press Wirephoto MIami Authorities Phone Company 'B' MIAMI, Fla.—(P)—Orders webers of Miami’s “Braissiere Brigade” and Telegraph company signed complaints against six women and the husbands of two of them. County solicitor Robert R. Taylor ordered their re-arrest. Those named in the re-arrest order were: Marie Orr, 21; her mother, Mrs. Gladys Orr, 47; Mrs. Bonnie Jean Hebert, 22; her husband, Lawrence, 23; Mrs. Betty Corrigan, 23; her husband, William Edward, 24; Mrs. Billy Ruth McNabb, 27; and Mrs. Rita Orr, 18. The husbands and Mrs. Gladys Orr were charged with receiving stolen property. Mrs. McNabb was named as “principal in the second degree” and the others were charged with grand larceny. Circuit Judge George E. Holt signed an order impounding all money, automobiles and other property of 11 persons allegedly involved in the case.

Mr. Stanley Chapman, Jr., Past High Priest of the Royal Arch Masons of state of California and Neil Rogers, Inspector of District 10 Royal Arch Masons, each gave a short talk. The Mark Master degree was conferred. Elks Initiate Five New Men Anaheim Elks initiated five new members into the organization last night and accepted two in for transfer. Initiated were: Rex L. Coons, Dan E. Dodge, Williams O. Findley, William G. Walker, and Donold R. Watt. Thomas H. Garrett from the Newport Harbor chapter was transferred in, as was C. William Bland from Flint, Michigan. Filling in for regular officers attending state Elk convention in Sacramento were: Al Raymond as Exalted Ruler, Frank Mattox, Lloyd Larsen, Del Wilkinson and Maurie Shirk as other acting officers.

The new wax formula was developed in the laboratories of the Brogdex company at Pomona specifically to produce a high natural gloss on fruit prepared for shipment to the nation's consuming markets, stated W. J. Wallace, Jr., Brogdex company president. The use of this wax on citrus not only enhances the natural lustre of the fruit but reduces heavy losses due to shrinkage and keeps the fruit fresh longer. The committee of citrus men working with the Brogdex company were Mr. Russel, A. L. Chandler, supply department manager, D. S. DeRoo, field department manager, all of Mutual Orange, Distributors, and Fred F. Heydenfeldt, manager of the field service department of the California Fruit Growers Exchange with J. R. MacRill head of the field service department laboratory of the exchange. Locals Urged to Grab Fair Space Merle Soden, chairman of the exhibit space for the Hallowe'en Community Fair, states that due to so many requests for space, Anaheim business firms and merchants who have not yet signed for space, are urged to contact the Chamber of Commerce as outside firms are requesting space and local merchants have first preference. There are, at the present time, only 32 booths left out of the total 80 booths available. Negotiations are being made for television and radio stars to make nightly appearances to assure this year's attendance an all time high.

It is not necessary for any member of a family to belong to the Eagle order to join this new sister-order, said secretary Fred Robinson. Robinson may be contacted by calling Anaheim 3121. Plans for a football membership campaign are being completed, also. Teams are being chosen and members are urged to back up their own team. Eagles meet at 8 p.m., every Monday evening. Time Changeover No Problem for Clockwise Cow NEW HOPE, Pa. (P)—Louise Holmquist has a cow that can tell time. This scientific wonder was disclosed yesterday by Charles A. Spickler, 71-year-old retired printer who is building a house on land adjoining Miss Holmquist's pasture. While working on his house, Spickler noticed the cow mooed every day just a few minutes before the noon whistle blew at the New Hope fire house. Delighted with his discovery but still a little skeptical, Spickler decided to see what would happen when the fire house whistle shifted from daylight to standard time. Sure enough, come last Monday, the cow mooed a few minutes before the noon whistle—standard time—an hour earlier than she had been sounding off all summer.

(P)—rine sergeant who helped the Russian consulate in wrote his family "if I ever give my life to keep war hitting close to home, it be a cheap price to pay." The letter was written days ago by Staff Sgt. Ja Fichter, 31, who was among first Marines to sweep in center of the South K city. "I we don't stop them in K Sgt. Fichter wrote, "where will they strike? We just can't back and let the communist engulf all the good we did all the world and only strike when it strikes home." Fichter's brother, George Jack enlisted in the Marine a month after Pearl Harbor saw extensive service in the cific and was twice wound. Discharged in September he worked as a packer in a factory and re-enlisted in December, 1946. The sergeant was married Vera Anderson, of Brewster a dietician at the Aspinwall erans hospital, in 1944 while furlough. Tenants Holding Own, Rent Survey Shows SAN FRANCISCO (A)—In most of the Pacific Coast cities where rents have been decontrolled the past summer tenants appear to be holding their own. Under the new federal law effective July 1, local governments could legislate federal controls out of existence. San Diego was the only major city on the coast which lifted its own controls. Portland and Los Angeles got into explosive legal tangles which must be unsnarried before federal controls can be lifted. Spokane previously had been decontrolled by action in Washington, D.C., after initial howls from tenants that rents were boosted up to 100 per cent, the rent advisory board concluded that the hikes levelled off at from 15 to 18 per cent. Complaints stopped. That seems to be what happened elsewhere, where ceilings were removed locally, although the "exact truth may never be known," says Ward Cox, regional housing expeditor at San Francisco. He pointed out that his office keeps no records because once an area is decontrolled "that's it as far as we are concerned. No one vacancies occur and they force to drop their prices. For example, early figures closed that rents were up per cent in Pasadena. But estimate was later reduced per cent. Another survey reported per cent hike in Beverly Hills figure was later re-estimated 32 per cent. In smaller Southern Californias—suburban Los Angeles and Orange counties have decontrolled—the average increase was placed at 10 per cent by a survey. However, in Los Angeles area rent director Ben Koephorted his office was snowed der with complaints after the council voted to decontrol. landlords, he said, thinking needed permission, asked inc as high as 300 per cent.

With Annihilation Yank Fighters Relax in Ravaged Seoul TOKYO, Friday, Sept. 29—(P)—The red invaders of South Korea were fleeing headlong north towards the 38th Parallel today, their last resistance inside Seoul at an end and their entire army in immediate danger of annihilation. A U.S. Tenth Corps communicated early today said the enemy from Seoul withdrew along roads leading north to Uijongbu.

Draft quotas thus far have been issued only through November and cover 170,000 men. The additional 160,000 would be in quotas for later months. Maj. Gen Clovis Byers, deputy chief of staff, gave the figure to the House Armed Services committee at a closed door session. Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) made it public. Byers later told reporters it was believed the 330,000 could be secured from the age groups now subject to the draft, those aged 19 through 25. Byers also said he believed some doctors and dentists would have to be drafted. Wholesale Food Prices Decline By The Associated Press Many wholesale food prices responded to the favorable turn in the Korean war news and tipped downward this week. The declines were not large, and are unlikely to have much effect on overall retail food prices unless the downward trend continues for some weeks. But they constituted the first appreciable set back in food costs in nearly three months. Chickens were two to four cents a pound cheaper in many competitive stores this week. Changes in other meats were mostly minor and irregular. Large Grade A eggs pushed two cents a dozen higher in some places but medium and small eggs were beginning to ease back. This is a normal seasonal trend as farmers cull the older hens from their laying flocks and replace them with younger birds which lay more, but smaller, eggs. For the first time in many weeks, more fresh produce items went up pricewise than declined. Higher in most places were snap beans, lima beans, tomatoes, cu- Survey Shows cancies occur and they are due to drop their prices. For example, early figures disclosed that rents were upped 65 percent in Pasadena. But this climate was later reduced to 11 percent. Another survey reported an 80 percent hike in Beverly Hills. The rise was later re-estimated at lower cent. A smaller Southern California communities—suburban Los Angeles and Orange counties have been controlled—the average overall lease was placed at 10 per cent. However, in Los Angeles itself, the rent director Ben Koepke relied his office was snowed unintentionally with complaints after the city council voted to decontrol. Some clords, he said, thinking they need permission, asked increases high as 300 per cent. Samath Falls, Ore., which has a population since World War II shows the effect of vacancies. In much new building there and Suene, both cities wiped out ceilings without much comfort, although increases were made. Seattle, Tacoma, San Francisco, Oakland and Oakland are the mazes with ceilings due to re-construction. Maj. Gen Clovis Byers, deputy chief of staff, gave the figure to the House Armed Services committee at a closed door session. Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) made it public. Byers later told reporters it was believed the 330,000 could be secured from the age groups now subject to the draft, those aged 19 through 25. Byers also said he believed some doctors and dentists would have to be drafted. Vinson indicated that only 30,-000 men have been inducted into the Army since its expansion began after the outbreak of the Korean fighting. He said the Army would want 300,000 men in addition to the 30,000 already inducted. It was not made clear, however, (Continued on Page 5) Expectant Mother Hurt in Accident An expectant mother was injured in Santa Ana today as she drove her car into a tree while avoiding collision with another machine. Mrs. Emily Fish, of 2210 S. Baker st., wife of a Marine who is overseas, was enroute to a hospital when she drove her machine into the tree at St. Gertrude pl. and Van Ness st., Santa Ana, at 8:42 a.m. Maternity ward physicians said that Mrs. Fish suffered a bump on her head but no ill effects or her approaching motherhood. Temperatures The temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 this afternoon was 78 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 80 degrees at 2:30 p.m., yesterday. Low was 60 at 5 a.m., today. Large Grade A eggs pushed two cents a dozen higher in some places but medium and small eggs were beginning to ease back. This is a normal seasonal trend as farmers cull the older hens from their laying flocks and replace them with younger birds which lay more, but smaller, eggs.

Sinatra let his wife have a separate maintenance decree by default in Superior Court. Greg Bautzer, attorney for Mrs. Sinatra, disclosed that under terms of a property settlement, she will receive one third of his gross income up to $150,000 annually and then a complicated sliding scale, based on income tax tables, takes effect. Bautzer said that the one-time bobby sox idol will earn close to a million dollars this year. Mrs. Sinatra has been receiving $2750 a month support for herself and their three children curring the months of negotiations over the settlement. In July, the singer's manager, Mack Millar, announced that Sinatra had signed a three-year contract with Columbia Broadcasting System under which he will be paid $3,000,000.
