VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper Pyongyang Doon Living Flee Key City as If Plagued By HAL BOYLE With U.S. Forces at Pyongyang (AP)—The besieged capital of red North Korea looks from the air like an empty citadel where death is king. It seems no longer to be a city at all. It is more like a blackened community of the dead, a charred ghost town from which all the living had fled before a sudden plague. It is now 6 p.m. (1 a.m. PST) Wednesday. As our light two-seater observer plane circles over the southern edge of the city there is no sign of life in the streets 4000 feet below. (Pusan radio reported at 9 p.m. (4 a.m. PST) that South Korean troops had fought into the city.) The municipal corpse of Pyongyang POSTAL PERIOD! Atlanta (AP)—The young man, William E. Smlth, had waited a long time for his new house, but it was completed at last. He moved in, took care of a few odds and ends and as his final chore, drilled through the brick front of his home to install a letter box. He finished just in time for the postman to leave the first letter at the new address. It was a call to 1st Lieut. William E. Smith, a Marine reserve pilot, to report at the end of the month for extended active duty. Red Register Required by County Law Registration of all communists with the sheriff's office is required under a new Orange county ordinance enacted yesterday in Santa Ana by the Board of Supervis- It is now 6 p.m. (1 a.m. PST) Wednesday. As our light two-seater observer plane circles over the southern edge of the city there is no sign of life in the streets 4000 feet below. (Pusan radio reported at 9 p.m. (4 a.m. PST) that South Korean troops had fought into the city.) The municipal corpse of Pyongyang stretches on both sides of the Taedong river like the darkening body of a soldier who lies unfound across a ditch where he has fallen. The devastation and lifelessness hurts the eye. The lack of movement brings a feeling of utter silence—a silence that makes the voice of the airplane engine sound human and warm and welcome. There are dust clouds on the horizon along roads leading north out of the city. They mark the disorderly retreat of enemy remnants pulling out from this shattered throne of red power. These are prize remnants, the selected few chosen for their political loyalty or military ability to try to make another stand nearer the Manchurian border or to plan a long campaign of mountain guerrilla warfare. But down from the gray clouds glinting like white crosses against yellow twilight skies sweep terrifyingly beautiful F-80 jet planes. They are slender and distant draught. Citrusmen Take Guess at Year’s Navel Tree Crop California citrus leaders are “guestimating” a naval tree crop of approximately 8500 cars in Central California and 20,000 in Southern California for the 1950-51 season. However, it remains for the Orange Administrative committee to make more than cursory checks before anything resembling a realistic estimate can be reached, according to Robert Winans, MOD alternate on the committee.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1950 Doomed--Its Fall May An Old 'Rival' Has Tough Luck HURRICANE TOPPLES POLES—A row of utility poles on a street parallel to the Miami river as they look north morning after being pushed almost flat during the night by the severe tropical hurricane which has hit Florida. Who Is RETSOOB? Here’s the Answer By KEN HELLYER General Chairman Last night while Anaheimers were asleep dreaming of this year's Hallowe'en Festival and RETSOOB and all of his peers were really busy. If you look around at your neighbor or friend you will notice that his beard has suddenly started to grow or maybe her nose is just a little bit bigger. Did you notice how much water and sharper your walk in this morning? Sure, even are getting into the step ofugs. Just stop and think when this little thing about Hallowe'en started. How long have you been a part of it? What! you "I have no part"? Yes you, and Mrs. Joe Public, are the best part of the Hallowe'en festival. You are the RETSOOB. What's a RETSOOB?

Hurricane Lashes Florida Citrus Belt; Damage Guess-$5 Million MIAMI (AP)—A hurricane sweeping upon Florida's citrus belt today left a trail of injuries, one death and property damage estimated at $5,000,000 or more in four south Florida "Gold Coast" counties. The storm now losing strength over land gave South Florida a rough and tumble night with 125 mile winds and possibly a tornado as it swept in from the sea late last night and early today. Mrs. Owen Adams was killed, her husband critically injured and their four children hurt when the hurrican or a twister spawned by it smashed their trailer home at West Hollywood, a community of 2000 persons 16 miles north of Miami. Twenty-five persons were hospitalized there and 40 more were injured in Miami. Two hundred were homeless in West Hollywood, 125 houses were severely damaged and 25 were demolished. Florida National Guardsmen were called out to protect property and prevent looting there and at the nearby towns of Davie and West Hallandale. Sheriff Amos Hall of Broward county said all were hard hit and "look like a tornado went though them." Some substantial homes were destroyed and only foundations were left in some cases, said Hali. "There isn't an undamaged house in Davie," he said. At Davis, about 80 per cent of the fruit was ripped from 7000 acres of citrus trees. Miami safety director O. D. Jack Henderson estimated damage in Miami at $3,000,000. The Miami Daily News said it may reach $8,000,000 in the area. Five radio stations lost their towers which lay in twisted heaps after the blow. Storms were wrenched off many the glass smashed and sucked out into streets. trees crushed many auto. The storm's tiny calm five miles in diameter directly over the western of Miami. The wind creep denly from over 100 miles to a zephyr. Half an hour the roaring winds return. Palm Beach, at the out of the 70 mile south Floor Coast," escaped damage. Peak velocity was 70 miles in gusts. Lake Worth ocean overflowed a few Signboards and shrubs chopped up. There was tural damage and no or jured.

The mini pilot evaporator is almost an exact duplicate of the Kelly-Howard equipment at the R.G.C.P. plant capable of processing 600-800 tons of fruit a day. OCTOBER 18, 1950 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month Vol. No. 144 May End War Soon ROKs Believed in Red Capital By RELMAN MORIN TOKYO (AP)—South Koreans said tonight their troops had fought into Pyongyang, doomed and nearly deserted red capital, but there were indications the report may be premature. Two hours after the radio at Pusan said South Korean troops had entered, a field dispatch reported Marine pilots still were attacking enemy targets in close support outside the city. The dispatch, filed by AP correspondent O. H. King after a flight over the capital, made no mention of friendly forces inside the city. Instead it said that North Korean rearguards were withdrawing into the bomb-blackened city before the United Nations advance. It still was believed possible that a small advance South Korean force had crossed the Taedong river into the red capital, as the Pusan radio said. If so it climaxed a brilliant eight-day march of nearly 90 miles. The Pusan radio said the South Koreans also captured Pyongyang's Peace Move SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—President Truman set the world stage today for an unprecedented counter-offensive to Soviet peace propaganda. He offered a full "partnership of peace" to all Asia, backed up by United States military might. The State Department's "Voice of America" bombarded every reacable listener with a constant repetition of Truman's warning to the peoples of the Far East that Russia is trying to turn them into "colonial slaves of a new imperialism." And the president left for the Russian Politburo a bold and blunt reminder that the United States will not stop short of war to resist aggression and preserve "our free way of life." Mr. Truman flew back to Washington shortly after delivering his major foreign policy speech last night in the War Memorial opera house where the United Nations charter was born five years ago. He left San Francisco's International airport at 1:15 a.m., EST, on the last eight-hour leg of a 14,400-mile round trip flight during which he talked with General Douglas MacArthur on Wake Island about what he said, were the "dangers which still face us." “What we want is a partnership for peace with all the world,” Mr. (Continued on Page 5) EASTERN STAR ELECTS SACRAMENTO (AP) — A Lodi woman and a San Diego man were slated for election today as the new leaders of the California Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. Delegates to the 77th annual Grand Chapter session were expected to pick Lois Blodgett Tamba to succeed Margaret Hughes Lauritzen of Beverly Hills as Worthy Grand Matron, and Jack Hardy as Worthy Grand Patron replacing Arthur J. Hook of Fresno. Dewey Griddled in Hanley Letter Row NEW YORK (AP)—Accusations that the Congressman recipient of the politically explosive "Hanley letter" used it to try to high-pressure fellow Republicans cropped up today, amid demands that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey resign or face impeachment. The World-Telegram and Sun said the Congressman, Rep. W. Kingsland Macy, Suffolk county GOP leader, threatened to reveal the letter in an attempt to force the Republican convention last month to nominate him for the U.S. Senate. Macy, long a bitter foe of Dewey and a supporter of Lt. Gov. Joe R. Hanley for the governorship, failed to get the nomination. The “Hanley letter” somehow fell into Democratic hands after Dewey was renominated for governor and Hanley for the Senate. The New York World-Telegram and Sun, quoting what is described as "unimpeachable Republican A miniature evaporating plant—first to be installed in a California citrus concentrates plant—is now part of the standard laboratory equipment at the Real Gold Citrus Products plant in Anaheim. RGCP is the processing division of Mutual Orange Distributors, Redlands, California. The "pilot evaporator duplicates in almost every detail the two mammoth triple-effect plants at the RGCP plant capable of processing from 600 to 800 tons of fruit a day. The Kelly-Howard Co. designers of the RGCP evaporating equipment—also designed, built and installed the miniature model which is capable of concentrating citrus juice at the rate of 45 pounds of water per hour. It is installed upstairs adjacent to the research laboratory of C. Gordon Beisel, director of research. According to Beisel, it is a self-contained unit known as a "falling film low temperature pilot evaporator" having its own refrigeration system and power supply. An interesting feature of the equipment is its use of a direct refrigerant condensate wherein "freon gas is expanued in order to condense the water vapors leaving the unit. The condensate obtained by this process is continuously pumped from the unif. Register Freed In Damage Suit Granting of non-suit motions for the Santa Ana Register and Art La Shell, proprietor of Christian's Hut, at Balboa, in Superior Judge Kenneth E. Morrison's court yesterday, narrowed the $86,600 damage suit brought by Hugh Daniel to one remaining defendant, Samuel Crooks, former advertising salesman for the Register. Daniel seeks damages for injuries he received on the night of May 8, 1949, when he was struck by a car being backed out of a parking stall at Christian's Hut by Crooks. Daniels sued the Register as well as Crooks and La Shell, on the ground that Crooks was an agent of the newspaper at the time of the accident. The court held that there was no showing that Crooks was on duty at the time.
