Meet Closes LOS ANGELES (AP) — The American Legion has elected a fighting national commander pledged to advance its demands for a U.S. State Department shakeup, universal military training and outlawing of the communist party. Erle Cocke, Jr., 29, World War II hero and airlines executive from Dawson, Ga., was elected by acclamation at the conclusion of the Legion's annual four-day national convention yesterday. He promised to carry out the Legion's two-fisted preparedness program drafted at what delegates described as the most serious, business-like session in the organization's 32-year history. The 3277 delegates, representing some 3,000,000 Legion members, were unanimous in favoring UMT and in attacking communism at home and abroad. But the argument over censuring the State Department was almost as hot as the weather, a sweltering 99 degrees and the hottest October 12 on record here. 101 Today Seers Say More Heat A three-way check with official thermometers in the center of Anaheim today showed the temperature to be 101 at 2:15. (A thermometer placed on the sidewalk in front of the Gazette office showed that it was around 108 degrees down there where Truman Lands In Hawaii; to See Mac Soon HONOLULU (AP) — President Truman arrived here today enroute to a history making one-day conference tomorrow with General MacArthur. The presidential plane "Independence" landed at Hickam Field at 7:56 a.m. (9:56 a.m. PST) from the Fairfield-Suisun Air Force Base in California. He takes off again before midnight for his rendezvous with United Nations supreme commander on the "final phases" of the Korean campaign and a new strategy to counter communist threats in the Far East. Brieting officers disclosed that president will fly back here to morrow night and remain over in Honolulu until Monday morning. The president was met by top ranking officials who will accorm ERLE COOKE JR. As finally passed, the resolution did not name Secretary of State Dean Acheson, but left no doubt as to its target. The original wording of "we urge that the president" was changed on the floor to read: "We demand that the president take all necessary steps to reconstitute that (the State) department." The document added "we condemn the failure of the State Department to deal adequately with the grim and bloody advance of communism" and blamed "this failure" to a refusal of the Secretary of State to evaluate properly the gravity of the dangers to America and all free peoples which communism presents." As this paragraph originally was read to the delegates it stated: "Secretaries of State, past and present, to evaluate properly," etc. Commander Cooke, who succeeds George N. Craig, Brazil, Ind., attorney, said the only way to prevent any "further manufacture of American war veterans" is to follow the convention's program of "peace through strength," which include UMT and industrial mobilization. To accomplish these objectives, he added, the government must cut nonessential expenditures and civilians must "accept the necessary degree of belt-flightening." Assisting Cocke are five new regional vice commanders: Herbert Jacobi, Washington, D.C.; Joseph H. Adams, Miami, Fla.; Felix Pogliano, Denver, Colo.; Lewis H. Gough and Frederick Seers Say More Heat A three-way check with official thermometers in the center of Anaheim today showed the temperature to be 101 at 2:15. (A thermometer placed on the sidewalk in front of the Gazette office showed that it was around 108 degrees down there where your tootsies are—not quite hot enough to fry an egg.) By 2:30 the temperature began on decline and had dropped three degrees in 20 minutes. Yesterday the thermometers in downtown Anaheim flirted with the 100 degree mark between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon and then started a decline. But, the sun was back today to top yesterday's reading. And, the weather forecaster says it's going to stay hot for a spell. The forecast includes the usual "cloudiness" and then goes on to say: "continued hot." The county agricultural department, south of Anaheim, recorded 104 degrees at 1 o'clock this afternoon. A check of the groves around Anaheim showed the temperature in the Anaheim environs averaged around 101 degrees top yesterday. After the temperature tagged 100 yesterday a breeze arrived in Anaheim about 2 and began to work on the thermometer. It was 96 at 4, 83 at 6, 73 at 9. At 6:15 this morning the mercury touched 68 then began another climb. (Continued on Page 5) County to Seek Blanket Bonding State legislation to permit blanket bonding of all county employees who handle funds will be sought by Orange county at the next session of the legislature as an aftermath of the recent $13,500 embezzlement of trust funds by Deputy Sheriff Frederick Miller Bergthold. Preparations of a bill to provide such authority for the county has been requested by County Counsel Joel Ogle by the Board of Supervisors. It will be handed to Sen. Clyde Watson and the two Orange county assemblymen, speaker Sam L. Collins and Earl Stanley for introduction in the legislature. When Bergthold's misappropriation of trust funds in the sheriff's office base in California He takes off again before midnight for his rendezvous with United Nations supreme commander on the "final phases" of the Korean campaign and a new strategy to counter communist threats in the Far East. Brieting officers disclosed that president will fly back here to morrow night and remain over Honolulu until Monday morning. The president was met by top ranking officials who will accompany him to the meeting west of here, apparently at Wake Island. They included Secretary of the Army Frank Pace, General Oma M. Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, W. Averell Harriman, special foreign affairs assistant, Ambassador at Large Philip C. Jessup and Dean Rusk Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs. As the president alighted from his plane, Governor Ingram Mr. Stainback came forward with a Hawaiian flower lei and tried to put it around the president's neck. With mid-western modesty, Mr. Truman refused. The governor tried again and the president said: Don't put it around my neck; put it around my arm." Photographers then asked the president to wear the lei for their picture-taking. The president declined. When President Truman arrived at the residence at Adm. Arthur W. Radford, Pacific fleet comm. (Continued on Page 7) Auto Crash Death Inquest Pending An inquest was pending today at the Coleman Mortuary in La Habra in the case of Mrs. Mary Kathryn Healy, 63, of Santa Monica, who was killed yesterday afternoon in a traffic collision at 101 and Imperial highways north of Fullerton. According to a report from the California Highway Patrol, Mrs. Healy apparently failed to make a boulevard stop on Imperial highway and collided with a dump truck driven by Harley Grant, 46, of Puente, who was traveling along Highway 101. An inquest was scheduled at 3 p.m. today by the coroner's office in connection with another traffic death—that of Aaron G. Robinson, who died October 3 of injuries received in an accident October 1 on Manchester route at the county line near Buena Park. Warren to Talk Schools Tonight Governor Earl Warren is expected to lash out at Jimmy Roosevelt tonight on the latter's statements about California's school situation. The Governor will speak over the statewide NBC network. In Southern California, his 15 minute speech will be heard at 7:45 p.m. over Stations KFI, Los Angeles, and KIST, Santa Barbara, and at 9 p.m. over KFSD, San Diego. Appearing with the Governor tonight will be J. Paul Elliott, of Los Angeles, and Roy Clout, or Redwood City, prominent figures in the education field. Elliott, member of the Los Angeles Board of Education, is president of the National School Boards Association. Cloud is the former secretary of the California Teachers Association. Governor Warren served notice Tuesday night, in his opening radio barrage of the campaign, that he will devote tonight's address to the school situation. In that broadcast, he accused Jimmy Roosevelt of "buffoonery" and charged him with "serious distortions and misrepresentations" about California's schools. Preparations of a bill to provide such authority for the county has been requested of County Counsel Joel Ogle by the Board of Supervisors. It will be handed to Sen. Clyde Watson and the two Orange county assemblymen, speaker Sam L. Collins and Earl Stanley for introduction in the legislature. When Bergthold's misappropriation of trust funds in the sheriff's office was discovered it was also found that he was covered by a bond of only $1000 while Sheriff James A. Musick carried a bond of $15,000. The county levied against Musick's bond for the missing funds and his bonding company is preparing to collect from the sheriff. This experience brought a request to the supervisors from elected officers of the county that a survey be made of all county departments in which employees handle money for the purpose of requiring adequate bond coverage. Ogle announced that blanket bonding of all such employees is now legally authorized in civil service counties, but not in others. Orange county does not have civil service. Legion Old Timers Dinner Set Monday "One Hundred Per Cent Americanism" is the theme for the Annual American Legion Old-Timer's dinner Monday night at the Legion hall. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. Commander Bud Johnson ceeined to announce speakers for the evening but reiterated the theme "100 Per Cent Americanism." Honorary guests at the invitational affair will be past post commanders. Johnson and Bill Webb, first commander of the Anaheim post, will share MC duties.

There still was no evidence of an Allied amphibious landing along the heavily bombarded coast. But the South Korean infantry made it a three-ply attack with an unexpected thrust north from captured Wonsan, port on the Sea of Japan. (Red Korea's Premier Kim Il Sung was quoted by the Chinese communist radio as acknowledging Wednesday. "Now our motherland is in a very dangerous position." It appeared to be his frankest admission that his Russian-sponsored regime faces defeat. Previously he was defiant. The Red China broadcast was heard in San Francisco.) Expected to swing west across the peninsula toward the red capital, Pyongyang, the ROKS hit straight up the coast instead. Across the peninsula, Allied drives toward Pyongyang moved steadily ahead—but fighting was tougher. The ROKS were 120-odd miles from the 130-mile-long northeastern coastal strip where the United Nations bombardment fleet led by the battleship Missouri poured fire and steel ashore Thursday and Friday in continuing big gun and carrier plane assaults. The ROK troops were powerfully supported by fighter planes and the US cruiser Rochester, a detached unit of the roving heavy bombardment fleet. To map high strategy on what appears to be the final phases of the Korean war, General MacArthur prepared to leave Tokio early Saturday for his weekend Pacific dendezvous with President Truman. President Truman was flying across the Pacific to the meeting place — believed to be Wake Island.
