VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHE Smash Finishes Reynolds-Roberts Mound Battle By JACK HAND SHIBE PARK, Philadelphia (P) Joe Dimaggio lined a 10th innning home run into the upper left field stands today to give the New York Yankees' Allie Reynolds a 2-1 win over the Phils' Robin Roberts in the second World Series game. It was the favored American league champs' second straight victory in the best-of-seven series before 32,600 fans. Tomorrow's game will be played in New York. The Yankee Clipper belt, his seventh in nine World Series, broke up a fine battle between the Yankee fire-balling righthander and 24-year-old Roberts, the Phils WORK DONE—Anaheim planners make last check on rezoning ordinance, result of many months work, which they are now ready to submit to the city council for approval. Left to right are: Planning commission chairman W. D. Grafton, planning consultant Gordon Whitnall, retired city engineer E. P. Hapgood and planning commissioner Robert Mungall. (Gazette photo by Gregory) Planners Complete Work on City Rezoning Ordinance Work done, for a time at least, Anaheim planning commissioners yesterday afternoon completed their last meeting on rezoning proposals, wrapped up their new zoning ordinance with the new map illustrating the ordinance and got the whole thing ready for submittal to the City Council. Councilmen are scheduled to get their first look at the complete work next Tuesday night at their regular meeting. The proposed zoning ordinance represents nine months of Planning commission effort in conjunction with planning consultant Gordon Whitnall. One controversial section on the rezoning slate, centering around the extension of light manufacturing district in the direction of the new Thomas Jefferson school in the southeastern section of the city has been altered somewhat. Light manufacturing strips 160 ft. wide along S. Orange st. and E. South st. have been replaced with multiple-family residence zones, according to commisisoner Robert Mungall. The entire section bordered by Vermont, South, Orange and Olive is now proposed as R-3, he pointed out. Discussions between interested citizens and the commission have brought about a number of "minor changes," Mungall added. RELIEF LOAD DROPS LOS ANGELES (P)—The county relief load has dropped 35 per cent in six months from 96,000 to 82,000. Judge Gardner Rules Against Local Weekly In a decision handed down yesterday, Superior Judge Robert Gardner ruled that the American-Oriental Friendship Association, Inc., had no case against Mrs. Margaret Wright, former owner of the Orange County News, in its suit charging her with "fraud and misrepresentation" at the time of sale of the paper. The court also granted Mrs. Wright the foreclosure she demanded on a chattel mortgage for $15,500 on machinery and equipment of the weekly publication she sold early this year for $21,500, receiving $6000 down and the mortgage for the balance. As commissioner for the proposed sale of the weekly's assets, Attorney John Shea of Anaheim was named by the court. In his decision, Judge Gardner noted that Mrs. Wright had denied she made any false representation. RELIEF LOAD DROPS LOS ANGELES (AP)—The county relief load has dropped 35 per cent in six months, from 26,000 cases in March to 17,000 now, reports William A. Barr, assistant superintendent department of charities. He said this represents a monthly saving of about $500,000 offset in part by rising costs for aid to the aged, blind and children. EARLY EVENING CRASH—Two drivers sustained injuries in this collision between a pick-up truck and an automobile last night at the intersection of Broadway and Loara. Taken to the Anaheim Community hospital with head injuries was Nicholas C. L. Lecoy, 53, Los Angeles. Also hurt was J. F. Olson, 29, 1117 W. Center st. Lecoy, the truck driver, was going south on Loara, Olson west on Broadway when the crash occurred. Checking damage is Anaheim Police Sgt. Alton Hoxie. (Gazette photo by Gregory) It indicated that its geophysical tests, conducted over almost a year’s time, had given promises of oil production. William G. Chonette, who asked the county planning commission for a variance permit for the oil exploration, said in his application for Shell that the company plans to sink additional wells in the area if it finds oil. This proposed well would be about a mile from Laguna Beach and a mile inland from Laguna Canyon rd., at a place not visible from the highway. Chonette agreed that his company would conform to all regulations which the county might lay down for the drilling venture. South coast residents had, a few weeks ago, petitioned the board of supervisors to ban oil explorations in their vicinity. They objected particularly to reported plans for tidelands drilling along the coast. Whether any is planned is unknown at this time. Local Legion and Elks Band Point To Big Convention Headquarters for the Anaheim delegation at the American Legion national convention in Los Angeles will be at the Hayward hotel, Sixth and Spring, according to Charles Schmitt, Adjutant. The local Elks band will represent Anaheim in the giant parade which is scheduled for Tuesday, October 10. The parade will begin at 2 o’clock and will last for approximately six hours. Temperatures The temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 this afternoon was 82 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 88 degrees at 3 p.m., yesterday. Low was 52 at 6 a.m., today.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1950 OKs Move Deep, Gls to Red Brutality Marks Area Of Retreat TOKYO (P) -- The red retreat trail back to North Korea is strewn with buried and unburied bodies of an officially estimated 25,000 murdered men, women and children in South Korea. Where they could, the reds covered the evidence of horrible brutalities with earthen entrenchments. In haste of retreat, they left many bodies in exposed mounds at some places. "If Wooden Cars... Of Refreat TOKYO (AP) -- The real retreat trail back to North Korea is strewn with buried and unburied bodies of an officially estimated 25,000 murdered men, women and children in South Korea. Where they could, the reels covered the evidence of horrible brutalities with earring entrenchments. In haste of retreat, they left many bodies in exposed mounds at some places. Some of the victims were American soldiers taken prisoner by the communist army but the total is not known. American officers said the overall 25,000 figure is only a minimum estimate... the tragic total may run much higher. South Koreans said most of the victims were bludgeoned, speared, burned or hacked with hatchets for opposing communism. Mass graves, large and small, are being turned up in city, town, village and hamlet along the bloody retreat route. Many graves have not yet been opened by American officers probing the mass murders. Americans Too U.S. officers fear that "several hundred" Americans whom the reds took into North Korea may be massacred before the onrushing United Nations forces can reach them. (Continued on Page 5) County Voters Number 103,612 A total of 103,612 Orange counties are eligible to vote at the November 7 general election, County Clerk B. J. Smith reported in Santa Ana today. The registration, he said, is a record high for the county, almost 3000 more than for the presidential election in November 1948. As has been true in most years in Orange county, the Republican party leads in voter registration, with 50,525. Democrats have 48,-873. Since June primary, the major parties gained almost the same amount of voters, with the Democrats holding a slight edge in registrations. The Demos added 3091 voters to their party, the GOP adding 3084 during the same time. Still undecided are 3649 persons who do not belong to either or any party; they declined to state affiliation. Of the smaller parties, the Prohibitionists have the most. Meat Prices Start Down By The Associated Press The long-awaited seasonal downturn in retail meat prices got underway this week when pork cuts dropped two to 12 cents a pound in many stores across the nation. Other meats have shown only scattered changes so far. But the Agriculture Department said farm sales of meat animals will continue to increase through the fall and early winter months and prices of pork and beef are expected to ease as supplies mount.

There is an "Easy Street" dotted with cottages near the waterfront. But, then, you can find a highway or byway to suit almost any mood—or taste—in old New England. New Bedford has its "Johnny-cake Hill," Marblehead its "Gingerbread Hill," Boston its "Cornhill." All are streets. "Rocky Pasture Road" in Gloucester really isn't as rough traveling as the name suggests. And "Gee Avenue" in that old fishing port is just a quiet neighborhood. Even the oldest inhabitants can't give an explanation of how most of these streets got their names. Of course, Plymouth's streets are easily traceable—such as Mayflower street and Standish Avenue.

U.S. Eighth Army Headquarters estimated that a red infantry division and a company of red marines made a stand three miles south of that port. TOKYO, Friday, Oct. 6 (U.P.) — Beating down the strongest resistance yet encountered in North Korea, the ROK (Republic of Korea) Third Division Thursday seized Changjon, 60 air miles north of the 38th Parallel. U.S. Eighth Army Headquarters estimated that a red infantry division and a company of red marines made a stand three miles south of that east-coast town. AP Correspondent William Jordan, with the fast-moving Republican Third Division, said the town fell to the South Koreans after an all-day fight. His information evidently was several hours more recent than that at Eighth Army headquarters. Thirty-five miles south of this deepest penetration of North Korea, the Republican Capital Division engaged a bypassed force of about 1200 reds in the hills west of Hwangpo. The first notable show of red defense came as a United Nations army of up to 175,000 troops was massing to yank down the iron curtain along Parallel 38 and wipe out communist resistance in all of Korea. The non-Korean Allies kept south of the artificial border stood ready to cross and join South Koreans who have already pierced the curtain and probed 60 miles or more into the communist-ruled northland. General MacArthur's headquarters made it clear that all his forces are ready to go into North Korea as needed. Non-Korean troops had been held south of 38 since the South Koreans stabbed across Sunday. The question of their crossing from liberated South Korea was considered only as a military issue, General MacArthur's headquarters said, and not as a political hurdle at this stage. The United Nations at Lake Success Wednesday night directed MacArthur, in effect, to use any means at his command to unify Korea. Parallel 38 was drawn originally to designate American and Russian zones for acceptance of the Japanese surrender after World War II. The Allied political aim is a unified, independent Korea. Indoctrinated and armed by Russia, the North Koreans plunged across the parallel June 25. The historic initial U.N. armed peace-enforcement action crushed the red invaders in three months. St. Michael's Festival final preparations were being made today for the third annual festival at St. Michael's Church. The first of the festival's many actions will take place at 4 p.m. Thursday when a special children's living will be made. Several special prizes have been donated to the kids who will be given the numbers as they enter. Other attractions set aside for children's enjoyment will be a pony and many special games. Together, over 40 prizes are to be given away during the festival which will run from 12:30 to 10:30 p.m. Heading the list is Japan gas range which will be on away at 9:30.

Between 40 and 50 were injured but none were burned although flames from the burning tanker leaped high into the air and lapped at some of the cars on the palatial westbound New England States Express. The engineer of the Boston to Chicago express had no chance to keep his train from hitting the tank car. It was hurled into the express' path from a freight train traveling eastbound on a parallel track. Only one of the 14 cars on the streamliner caught fire. It was the dormitory car for dining room employees. More than 10 occupants scrambled to safety through a lone exit which remained open. One unidentified waiter said: "Everyone just scrambled around. We had been sleeping. Some of us got two left shoes, some got one shoe and some got none. But we all got out of there in a helluva hurry." Nearly 50 firemen, alided by as many police, were at the scene—only five blocks from midtown Erie (Continued on Page 5) Show Cause Order For Tighe Woods LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal housing expediter Tighe Woods has been ordered to show cause in superior court here Oct. 11 why he shouldn't decontrol Los Angeles rents. At the moment, his hands are tied, at least until a hearing Friday in Washington, by injunction litigation initiated by a tenants group. But a property owners suit by Mrs. Margaret W. Hess and Harry Westberg charged that Woods is conspiring with Local 770, AFL Retail Clerks Union, to block decontrol and Judge W. Turney Fox issued the show cause order. The city council approved decontrol July 28. Movie Man to Lead Fiesta Thomas E. Breen, young Hollywood star will lead the "Fiesta" division of the 27th Annual Hallowe'en pageant parade in Anaheim on Tuesday, October 31. Breen has just returned from India where he spent six months playing leading role in Oriental International Films technicblur production of Rumer Godden's novel "The River," directed by Jean Renoir. Wesley Mendoza, captain of the "Fiesta" division of the parade, also announced today that the "Talpa Church Symphonic Band of Los Angeles," sponsored by the local Knights of Columbus, will lead this division. The Fiesta division will feature the gaiety and beauty of the Spanish people's traditional and festive events and folklore, depicted in its famed and noble grandeur. Captain Mendoza reported the following float entries to date: The Chamber of Commerce of Huntington Beach; Vaux of Balboa; McCoy-Mills of Fullerton, depicting a scene from the operetta "Carmen;" the League of United Latin American Citizens; the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce; C.
