Both Noteworthy What's "exciting" in Anaheim Food Stores? (See Home-Makers' Forum.) What's the "inside" on the California gubernatorial race? (See Drew Pearson.) Both on Page 4, today's Gazette. VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEL Cavalry Seizes Pyre Fullerton Row Seen as Gun Try Cause Starting search for the mysterious gunman who fired a shot narrowly missing Councilman Kermit Wood, of Fullerton, near Brea Sunday evening, the sheriff's office in Santa Ana today admitted that it is scanning the recent disagreements in Fullerton city government affairs. Councilman Wood had received an anonymous telephone call at his home requesting him to drive to Sleepy Hollow, a night spot in Carbon Canyon beyond the Orange county line. Wood, who with Councilman rowly missing Councilman Kermit Wood, of Fullerton, near Brea Sunday evening, the sheriff's office in Santa Ana today admitted that it is scanning the recent disagreements in Fullerton city government affairs. Councilman Wood had received an anonymous telephone call at his home requesting him to drive to Sleepy Hollow, a night spot in Carbon Canyon beyond the Orange county line. Wood, who with Councilman Jack Adams; forms a minority on the Fullerton City Council and has been strongly urging a shake-up in the police department, was interested in the promise of the voice on the telephone that there would be "information" for him at the resort. He drove to Sleepy Hollow but found no one awaiting him there and started the return trip homeward. At a point about one mile east of Brea, another car pulled alongside of Wood's car which he said was travelling at a rate of 50 miles per hour. A voice called from the other car "hey, Wood", and almost instantly a shot was fired. The bullet entered the left side of Wood's car inches above his head. He immediately braked his car to a stop while the other auto-continued on Page 5 Leo Harpin Named Jr. Chamber VP Leo Harpin, office manager, Alex Tamale Co., was last night voted in as vice president of the Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce. Harpin succeeded after E. "Bud" Stahlman whose business transfer has forced him to leave Anaheim. Prior to the appointment of Harpin, members heard president Dick Morley read Stahlman's letter of resignation. Then they decided not to let him resign. By popular acclaim, he was voted a life associate membership in the Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce. Guest speaker at the Mother's Kitchen meeting was Don May, nationally-known design consultant. Citing what he considers a growing tendency toward devious, untruthful approach to problems of today, both business and personal, May stressed the need for "truth propaganda." Of current advertising methods, which see business "talking about itself too much," May said, "advertising will THE QUINTS ARRIVE IN NEW YORK—The Dionne quintuplets walk through Grand Central station here last night after their arrival here for their first visit to New York. Left to right are Cecile, Yvonne, Annette, Marie and Emilie. At right is Francis Cardinal Spellman, the quints' host in New York. At the cardinal's right is Oliva Dionne, father of the girls. (Associated Press Wirephoto) New York Draws Five of Kind as Quints Pay First Visit to City NEW YORK (P)—Yvonne peered out of the train window and smiled broadly. Annette smiled, too, but more self-consciously, Emilie looked solemn, Cecile gulped when she saw the crowd outside, and Marie looked almost frightened. Or maybe the solemn one was Cecile. And wasn't the one with the prettiest smile Annette? Nobody was sure, not even their host, Francis Cardinal Spellman, archbishop of New York. The important thing was that all five of the Dionne quintuplets were holding up well under the strain of floodlights, popping flash bulbs and the pushing, curious crowds that greeted their first visit to New York last night. As for what the 16-year-old quintples thought of New York, they said—in timid but easy English—that the bright lights were "wonderful" and they were "very happy" to be here. The Dionnes, whose only other venture into the United States was in 1943 when they went to launch some ships in Wisconsin, came by train from Corbeil, Ontario. The peeping through train windows was done while they waited for policemen, policewoman and priests to make room on the platform so they could get through the crowd. With them was papa Oliva Dionne, a short, thin, dapper-dressed man who has fathered nine other children, and who seemed calm and unimpressed by the reception. Ten awed girls, schoolmates of the quints, came along, with several teachers, a nurse and a few Dionne friends. The Quints stepped smartly—in their first high-heeled shoes, it was said—up the platform and into Grand Central station where 2500 persons applauded them. The Quints' first look at the city was a quick one—across town in a bus, through Times Square, up Broadway to Central Park, and then to a convent where they will stay during their four-day visit. Guest speaker at the Mother's Kitchen meeting was Don May, nationally-known design consultant. Citing what he considers a growing tendency toward devious, untruthful approach to problems of today, both business and personal, May stressed the need for "truth propaganda." Of current advertising methods, which see business "talking about itself too much," May said, "advertising will have to reappraise itself, present a truthful picture." Other business at last night's meeting included Ralph Osborne's appeal to members to be prepared to help get out the vote on election day November 7. Chambermen are signed to provide transportation for voters who have no way to get to the polls. Guests at last night's meeting included Bob Malone, Smith-Rea-fshyder Furniture; Earl Fancher, Harris and Frank; Bob Schmidt, general insurance; and Alex Morales, Alex Tamalo Co. Hoppy Can't Make Hallowe'en Parade Hopalong Cassidy today announced that he will not be able to serve as Grand Marshal of the Anaheim Hallowe'en Parade. Removal of a nasal obstruction necessitates his going immediately to Rochester, New York for treatment. The siege with the medics will take him away from the Southland for three weeks, according to his publicity manager Jack Daley. "Hoppy tenders his sincere regrets," Daley said this morning, "because he was definitely counting on being in Anaheim for the Hallowe'en program." "Should Anaheim have occasion for an appearance later, he will do everything in his power to be present," Daley added.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1950 Dewey Cites FDR Aid Cash As Answer to Payoff Row NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP)—Gov. Thomas E. Dewey declared last night that wealthy Democrats had helped the late Franklin D. Roosevelt meet $200,000 in obligations to induce him to run for governor of New York in 1928. Dewey, fighting Democratic charges of a GOP nomination "payoff in the current New York campaign, based his statement on quotations from book written by two former national chairman of the Democratic party. The books are 'you're the boss' by Edward J. Payn and 'John Barrack's Story' by James A. Barrack." Dewey said in a state-wide radio broadcast that $300,000 of the money was promised personally Dewey, fighting Democratic charges of a GOP nomination "payoff in the current New York campaign, based his statement on quotations from book writing by two former national chairman of the Democratic party. The books are 'you're the boss' by Edward J. Raskob and 'John Barley's Story' by James A. Harvey. Dewey said in a state-wide radio broadcast that $200,000 of the money was promised personally by John J. Raskob, one-time Democratic national chairman who died last Sunday. And Raskob promised to help in getting the rest of the $200,000, Dewey added. Citing the books, Dewey said Roosevelt "owed money at that time (1923) to the Warm Springs Foundation, which he had intended to run as a resort," and was reluctant to run for governor. That was the year the late Alfred E. Smith ran for president, and Democratic leaders wanted Mr. Roosevelt on the ticket to lend strength. Dewey, who is running for re-election, brought up the subject of FDR's finances in answer to Democratic charges that Joe R. Hanley, Republican lieutenant governor, was promised relief from financial (Continued on Page 2) Youthful Murder Suspect Due in Court October 27 Charged with the murder of Ramon Mendoza, 65, last September 12, Joseph Manuel Brito (or Breet), former Newport Harbor high school athlete, will appear in Superior court for arraignment October 27. Brito yesterday waived preliminary hearing in Justice Howard Cameron's court after entering a plea of not-guilty. He is represented by Public Defender N. D. Meyer. Previously, Brito had been certified to juvenile court by Justice Cameron because he was 17 years of age at the time of the alleged offense. However, in juvenile court he was cited back to the adult criminal court. He is being held in the county jail without bail. Brito is alleged to have clubbed Mendoza to death at the small farm of Brito's grandmother, Mrs. Anna DeOlivera, in Costa Mesa. US Casualties In Korea Hit 26,083 WASHINGTON (AP)—Announced American casualties in the Korean conflict rose today to 26,083, an increase of 1020 over the total of a week ago. The defense department said the new figure covered casualties reported to next of kin through Friday, Oct. 13. This total does not reflect all casualties that have occurred up to that time, because of the time required to check and process reports. Of the total, 4036 were deaths. The department said 17,711 had suffered non-fatal wounds and 4336 were listed as missing in action. Of these reported missing, 366 have subsequently returned and 107 are listed as captured or interned by the enemy.

PUC Denies Phone Boost SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The State Public Utilities commission by unanimous vote today denied Pacific Telephone and Telegraph request for a $36,005,000 yearly in crease in telephone rates in the state. The PUC dismissed the Telephone Company's petition on the motion of the city of Los Angeles, supported by other cities. In its decision, the PUC stated that the company "failed to prove that the rates under which it presently operates are a confiscation of its property." Under state law, the commission cannot force a utility to operate at a loss, which amounts to confiscation of property.

Heim Marine Family Hears Dad via Radio Tonight Tonight is a big night for the Bateson's of 618 S. Clementine. It's a big night for two of them at least—Mom, Mrs. Patricia Bateson, and three and one-half year old Bonnie. For tonight the three members of the family will after long months be together again, via radio at least, when Dad's voice comes over radio station KVOE at 6:15. Dad, you see, Marine Lieut. Alan G. Bateson, is now in Japan. That is he is in Japan when he isn't flying missions over communist Korea. Couple of days ago, he returned to Seoul's Kimpo air base from a mission and found some people there with a tape recorder. In jig time he had said a few words and these were soon on their way to the local radio station. Tonight they will be broadcast. And Mom and Bonnie will be listening. This is the second trip to the Pacific for Lt. Bateson. In World War II he spent five years with the Marines. His tour of duty included Okinawa and Japan.

Total Conquest Of Vital City Hours Away SEOUL, Korea (AP) — United Nations forces seized the failing heart of red Korea today. Twin allied spearheads occupied most of the communist capital, Pyongyang.

(AP)—The New York Central railroad's "North express," streaking westward in the darkness, was violently attacked here early today at a cost of two lives and 15 injured. The fleet passenger train, roaring through this central New York flatland at a 75-mile-an-hour clip, hurtled the rails in the midst of Oneida. A steel freight-room that had fallen in the wake of the limited was blamed on the wreck. The engineer and fireman were killed. One of the injured was reported in serious condition. The steam locomotive and all cars of the flyer plunged off tracks and tore up 500 yards into the Central's four-track main line which hugs the north bank of the New York state barge canal. The traffic was re-routed over the Central's parallel West Shore railway on the other side of the city. The North Star, en route from York to Toronto and Cleveland, was racing about 75 miles hour through this city of 11,- located in the exact center of York state. Conductor, Paul J. Schaefer Albany, said about 200 passengers were aboard, more than usual use of fog-bound air transportation in New York City. Florida Citrus Gets Off Easier Than Expected LAKELAND, Fla. (AP)—Citrus officials agree that Florida's record crop came off better in yesterday's hurricane than expected but added its too early to assess damage correctly. The Indian River section of the lower east coast, where Florida's highest priced citrus is raised, was hard hit by some of the storm's worst winds. The greatest producing area, Polk county, escaped on the weak side of the hurricane, which had lost much of its force by the time it reached other big grove areas in Lake and Orange counties. R. C. Black, manager of the Indian Rivers Packers Exchange, reported grapefruit loss there might reach 30 per cent, but oranges were not hurt much. The Florida Citrus commission and Florida Citrus Exchange said the failing heart of red Korea today. Twin allied spearheads occupied most of the communist capital, Pyongyang. Reports from four Associated Press war correspondents indicated that complete conquest of the North Korean red nerve center was only a matter of hours. Premier Kim II Sung and his Soviet satellite regime apparently fled to the north, possibly as far as red Chinese Manchuria or Soviet Siberia. An end to the bitter war that started June 25 was in sight. But top Allied commanders have warned that guerrilla resistance may lie ahead. In Pyongyang, nothing stood in the way of the grimy, grinning battlers of the U.S. First Cavalry and South Korean First Divisions except a few die-hard reds. Another First The mechanized cavalry troopers were first into the city—as they were first in historic entries into Manila and Tokyo in World War II. They smashed inside the eastern industrial section from the southern outskirts at 11 a.m. Thursday (6 p.m., PST Wednesday). The South Korean division thrust in from the east afterwards.

There's heavy buying to aid possible price boosts, the Board of Equalization re-ceded today. For the second straight month alcohol beverage excise taxes on must sales amounted to more than $2,000,000. The $2,005,271 tax was $700,000 more than colons for August, 1949. Four fifths of the taxes came from sales of distilled spirits. Taxes accounted for most of rest. Taxes on wine brought only $38,119. The board attributed the hard boom to the Korean war. The months of June, July, and last taxable transactions were over cent above the same period in year. More than 2,000,000 tons of spiritous liquors moved retailers in August alone. Exxable beer sales or more than 100,000 gallons set a new high record. Eighty per cent of beer sold in the state came from California manufcturers. The greatest producing area, Polk county, escaped on the weak side of the hurricane, which had lost much of its force by the time it reached other big grove areas in Lake and Orange counties. R. C. Black, manager of the Indian Rivers Packers Exchange, reported grapefruit loss there might reach 30 per cent, but oranges were not hurt much. The Florida Citrus commission and Florida Citrus Exchange said preliminary reports ranged from 5 per cent grapefruit loss in some areas to 20 per cent in the Indian River section. Orange and tangerine losses were placed at not more than 5 per cent in any area. The total Florida citrus crop is estimated by the Department of Agriculture at 100,000,000 boxes. Smog Blanket Smarts L.A. Eyes LOS ANGELES (AP)—An eye-smarting blanket of smog lay over the city today, cutting visibility to a few blocks and evoking hundreds of complaints from a coughing citizenry. That old debbil inversion is responsible, explained Gordon Larson, director of the county air pollution district, mopping his eyes. The weather bureau sees a little relief tomorrow and a definite improvement Saturday. A storm over the Pacific Northwest coast is expected to speed the flow of air here. Outlying cities reported they were comparatively free from smog, most of the horrid stuff being concentrated in downtown Los Angeles. Some $4,000,000 has been spent so far by factories to eliminate noxious fumes. Warren Talks Crime Prevention LOS ANGELES (AP)—California's job is "not to rehabilitate criminals, but to prevent crime," Gov. Warren told a joint meeting of the Southern California Juvenile Officers association and Los Angeles County Peace Officers association yesterday. "I think we are moving in the right direction," he continued, "because we are talking not about juvenile delinquency but about youth opportunity. I can think of no greater personal satisfaction in public service than in straightening out youngsters, even just one youngster." Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. this afternoon was 82 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 85 degrees at 3 p.m. yesterday. Low was 50 at 6 a.m., today.
