VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Ex-Chamber Prexy Warns Of Inflation LOS ANGELES (P)—A former president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce told the League of California cities today that the threat of inflation is as serious as the threat of communism. Attorney James L. Beebe said inflation puts city and county governments at a great disadvantage by increasing costs without a balancing increase in revenues. "The only way in which inflation can be held within bounds is to balance the federal budget by cutting out non-essentials and by arming on the most economical basis possible, consistent with our safety," he told finance officers at the League's 52nd annual conference. "Unless this inflationary trend is checked," he added, "cities are Marshall Lays Down Uniform Reservist Recall Program WASHINGTON (AP)—Secretary of Defense Marshall has laid down a uniform policy for all the armed forces to follow in recalling reservists to active duty. It was intended, Marshall said in a directive yesterday, “to obviate the uncertainty with which both the employer and the reservist employee presently are confronted, and to eliminate or reduce to a minimum the inequities in the recall of reservists.” The directive, sent to the secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force, orders that each service: 1. Decide its manpower requirements for six months in advance and notify reservists not called on to fill those requirements that their recall “is at least four months remote” unless material changes in military requirements “otherwise dictate.” 2. Give those called up at least 30 days for settling their personal affairs before time to report for duty. (This time now varies considerably with the services, running between 15 and 30 days.) 3. Remove from its active reserve list all reservists who, for physical or other valid reasons determined by the service, are not available for extended active duty. 4. Keep reservist on active duty only until (A) manpower requirements can be met by the draft or volunteer, and (B) the involuntary reservists and units have reached a maximum state of training.” This replaces the present policy of calling reservists for an indefinite period in order to bring about a rapid expansion of the armed forces.

Singer Jolson Dies SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Al Jolson, the veteran jazz singer who was the first U.S. star to entertain troops overseas in both the Second World and Korean wars, died unexpectedly last night with a quip on his lips: "Hell, Truman had only one hour with MacArthur. I had two!" Then . . . "I'm going, boys," the famous mammy singer told two longtime friends with whom he was playing gin rummy in the St. Francis hotel. He died quietly, quickly, of a coronary occlusion ... and without pain, said the house physician. Jolson, 64, had returned only two weeks ago from Korea, where he sang to Allied troops. He had a two-hour luncheon chat with General MacArthur in Tokyo en route. President Truman and MacArthur talked privately just an hour on Wake Island a week ago Sunday in their historic get-acquainted meeting. With Jolson were two old friends, song writer Harry Akst and Martin Fried, Al's companion and arranger. They had come with him from Southern California for a scheduled guest star spot on a Bing Crosby radio (Continued on Page 5) AL JOLSON DIES—Here is one of the last pictures made of the famed "Mammy" singer was entertaining front line troopers.

The United States and other free nations, Mr. Truman said, will continue to build up their military forces as insurance against aggression until there is unanimous agreement on "international control of atomic energy and the reduction of armaments and armed forces." The United States, now committed to that course, will follow it as long as necessary, the president said in an address prepared for the United Nations General Assembly on the fifth anniversary of the day on which the U.N. Charter came into force. He left the door open for east-west peace talks both "in the United Nations and elsewhere"—a reference he did not expand—but said the free nations have learned the hard way that negotiation alone will not preserve peace. There must be armed strength as well, he said, to resist aggression.

The guy—Jack Morris, his keyboard man in the Gazette co-posing room. Nobody around here had an idea Morris was vocally talented. He goes off on a vacation. Somebody turns on a radio and who they hear but Uncle Jack, wearing as sweet a baritone rendition of "Swanee River" that ever hung a rebel dropping tears in his minijulep. The Yankees out this-a-wow liked it too, because the audience of the Hollywood show "What's the Name of That Song?" applauded Morris to the top of the heap that night. He was acclaimed number one for the evening and got an extra ten bucks for his trouble. All in all, Morris pocketed 40 bones—nice way to spend a vacation. How many people do you know?

It was the first indication in more than 36 hours that the reds may be mustering for a final stand, near the northwestern borders of Korea. Kanggye is only 20 miles southeast of the Manchurian border. Air Force pilots spotted the column Tuesday but did not speculate on its makeup or destination, a field dispatch said.
