On the Spot! A jet plane crashed yesterday. Story on front page of today's Gazette. Picture by the Gazette's ace photographer, Myles Bradley, on Page 5. VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Warrior Returns Red Re RETURN DUTY—A call at the Red Cross chapter office was one of the first Sgt. Frank Taylor made on his return to Anaheim. With son, Bernard, 6, the former Troop 73 scoutmaster told Mrs. Kathryn Wheeler how he and other wounded men appreciated Red Cross aid. Sgt. Taylor, a regular army man, has 30 days convalescence leave with his family, which also includes his wife, Ava and daughter, Phyllis, 9, then he reports for reassignment. Wounded Soldier Back in Anaheim At first glance, it looked like the soldier was carrying a package under his arm the way his shoulders were slanted and the left side of him bulged out. Then you looked more closely and saw the thin white support bandage looped around his neck, holding the arm in place at right angles across the body. You noticed this and the slight bit of plaster cast protruding just about the same time you noticed the empty left sleeve of the battle jacket. Sergeant Frank Taylor was back from Korea. Last time you heard, he had been wounded—shrapnel in the left arm—was flying home soon for convalescence. And all of a sudden here he was. You hoped he wanted to talk about Korea and the war and what the communists are doing. And he did, but first there was something more important he wanted to talk about. He'd talk about the war and the reds and GI's afterwards. Sergeant Taylor had the Red Cross in mind. "I've been thinking about this for some time," Sergeant Taylor began, "but really seriously since I got hit and had a chance to really meet the Red Cross. They were with me and the rest of the men from the time we were wounded until we got back home; helping us; making us comfortable; giving us little things, like cigarettes and soap and candy and shaving kits, that made a big difference." "I thought about it all the way across the Pacific on the airplane" Citrus Damage In Florida Reported Light Accurate appraisal of hurricane damage to Florida citrus is "still impossible," but superficial checks indicate that it will not be extensive, according to a Mutual Orange Distributors' informant in the southern state. Grapefruit loss in the Indian river section was estimated at 20 per cent—"but doubt if it will reach 5 per cent elsewhere," was the information wired to the California cooperative by this usually reliable source. The message continued: "Orange and tangerine loss so small as to be negligible from overall standpoint. Some fruit undoubtedly bruised and storm damaged, but still hanging on the trees. Suggest you folks continue to assume we have as many oranges as ever." Rotary Hears Talk Top This One If You Can LONG BEACH (P) — Billy Donovan, 10, is mighty proud of the new car his dad got last Saturday. He was pointing out its finer features to a chum, who was willing to argue the point because his dad got a different model recently. But Bill finally put on the clincher: "Shucks, Harold," he said, "you may have power glide and electric window raisers." "But my dad waited until they put on credit controls before he bought."

They were with me and the rest of the men from the time we were wounded until we got back home; helping us; making us comfortable; giving us little things, like cigarettes and soap and candy and shaving kits, that made a big difference. "I thought about it all the way across the Pacific on the airplane and decided I was going to find out what I could do to help the Red Cross do for others what they have done for me. The sergeant sketched his contacts with the Red Cross. He was met by workers soon after medics took him off the battlefield. They had coffee ready, and cigarettes. "Guys were always glad to see the Red Cross because they knew (Continued on Page 7) Anasailor Gets Riviera Respite Albert R. Leos, fireman, USN, of 907 N.

Pvt. Robert L. Sharpe, High Point, N.C., a blue-eyed blonde, was one of 21 American prisoners of war who lived through the brutal atrocity slayings Friday at Sunchon tunnel. They were ordered out of a communist train taking them north and told, "Sit down, your soup will come soon." Instead of soup, the Americans were fed bullets. Sharpe said, "I heard the guards loading rifles. A man in front of me suddenly clutched his chest and slumped. Everybody began praying and begging to keep from getting killed." Sharpe said that after the firing ended the guards made their way through the fallen bodies and (Continued on Page 5).

Red Roundup Begins with 10 Arrests WASHINGTON (AP)—The Justice Department today disclosed it has begun a roundup of top alien communists in the United States, and has arrested 10. Those already in custody were described as "the most important" of about 86 persons scheduled for prompt pick up and deportation, if deportation is possible. Officials said the 10 are those who have been most active in the fields of communist propaganda. In the case of most of this 10, the arrests mark the first time the Justice Department has moved to deport them. However, the department said that many on the proposed detention list of 86 are aliens previously ordered deported but who have not left the country. The roundup extends from coast to coast. The department acted under the 1950 Internal Security act. This law, enacted over President Truman's veto, permits the attorney general to keep subversive aliens against whom deportation is pending in custody for as long as six months. Flynn Weds in SEOUL, Korea (AP)—South Korean forces swept within 50 miles or less of the Manchurian border today. Shattered remnants of the red Korean Army were fleeing frantically toward the mountain triangle north of Kanggye. It was there that the red chieftain, Kim Il Sung, carried out his guerrilla war against the Japanese before Russian occupation forces installed him as premier of North Korea after World War II. Kanggye is about 20 miles from the border in the center of the peninsula. Three South Korean (ROK) divisions were driving for the Manchurian border to finish the four-month war. Observers said the ROKs, who can make 30 miles a day in forced marches, were capable of reaching the Yalu river on the border sometime Tuesday. (General MacArthur's headquarters in Tokyo was non-committal. A spokesman said only that the army had several estimates of when Allied troops were expected to reach the Manchurian border.) On the north bank of the river, red China troops guard Manchuria. The desperate red Koreans were (Continued on Page 5) Indo-China Reds Harass French SAIGON, Indochina (AP)—Communists-led Viethminh troops have begun harassing attacks on French positions defending Tienyen, key supply center athwart the new 100-mile French frontier defense line. A French military spokesman said one small French post in the Tienyen area was attacked two days ago. With the abandonment of the big frontier post of Langson last week, he said, the French have set up a line defending the rich delta around Hanol along a ragged east-west front anchored on Dinhlap, southeast of Langson; the line extends 160 miles north of Hanol to Moncay on the Gulf of Tonkin. Flynn Weds in Riviera Rite MONTE CARLO, Monaco (P)—Movie actor Errol Flynn was married "for the third and last time" today in an 18-minute civil ceremony in the Monaco city hall. Actress Patrice Wymore was the bride. The couple said "oui" before Mayor Charles Palmaro as more than 100 guests watched and a crowd of 3000 chattered excitedly in the city hall courtyard. It was a typical Riviera day—with a warm sun and the beautiful blue Mediterranean for a background. The best man for the Australian-born, 41-year-old Flynn was his fellow countryman, yachtman Fred McEvoy. McEvoy's wife Claude, was matron of honor for the 24-year-old bride from Salina, Kansas. There was no mob scene at the wedding, though Monaco's police had been mobilized to handle 10,000 persons. Newsmen and photographers far outnumbered the guests at the ceremony, on which the Monte Carlo radio station ran a running broadcast. This afternoon the couple was to drive to Nice, 20 miles away, for a religious wedding (at 10 a.m., EST) in the Lutheran church of the transfiguration. A French military spokesman said one small French post in the Tienyen area was attacked two days ago. With the abandonment of the big frontier post of Langson last week, he said, the French have set up a line defending the rich delta around Hanol along a ragged east-west front anchored on Dinhlap, southeast of Langson; the line extends 160 miles north of Hanol to Moncay on the Gulf of Tonkin. The spokesman revealed that French troops already have evacuated the post of Locobinh, 25 miles northwest of Dinhlap. The western end, of the frontier defense line has been pulled in 30 miles from Langson, sacrificing Locbinh and a string of blockhouses lining colonial route No. 4 to Dinhlap. Jean Letourneau, French minister for Indochina, told reporters at advance army headquarters in north Indochina that "we are confident we can hold the Tonkin delta." Karl Heinleih Passes Away Karl W.
