She was reported to Jolson Dies (Continued from Page 1) show, to have been recorded here tonight. Akst telephoned Jolson's fourth wife, Erie Galbraith, whom he married in 1945. She was at Encino, Calif. She was reported to have collapsed with grief. Jolson was riding the crest of a popularity wave for the second time in an entertainment career that began in 1899. In World War II, he traveled to Europe, Africa, India and the Pacific, entertaining GIs for the USO. On his return from Korea, where he gave 42 shows in 16 days, he said: "Know what it feels like to be back? I'm going to look up my income tax and see if I paid enough. Those guys are wonderful! This is a much tougher war than the last one, believe me." He entertained GIs at the front when the American beachhead in Korea was at its smallest and under constant attack. "I was singing up there for some guys and there was a lot of noise," he related. "So I says to an officer, 'Why don't you tell those kids of yours outside to stop shooting off those rifles?'" "Those aren't our kids,' he told me!" Al was born Asa Yoelson on May 26, 1886, the son of a Jewish cantor, in what was then St. Petersburg, Russia. He came with his family to Washington, D.C., while a small boy. His father trained him for the church. But he had other ideas. Santa Anan Hurt In Barside Beef Badly beaten about the face and head, Robert Young Darnell, 34, of 1119 No. Main st., Santa Ana, was in the county hospital for repairs today, following a brawl beside an E. Fourth st. bar in Santa Ana at 11:30 last night. Darnell told police that he did not know the identity of the six Mexicans who, he claimed, set upon him. Neither did he discuss the motive of the assault. No arrests were made. At the bar, police learned that one Mexican had provoked Darnell by dancing with his girl friend and buying her a drink, but this man denied any knowledge of trouble with Darnell. Anaheim Legion Offers Assistance In Disaster Defense Preparation Anaheim American Legionnaires today took cognizance of the lack of A-bomb and disaster control measures in Anaheim—and, then, in a letter, offered their services to the Anaheim City Council to "plan, man, and operate" a disaster control system for Anaheim. The offer of Legion backing to city disaster control planning was made by the local post's Civil Defense committee. The committee has been studying local civil protection since the advent of the war in Korea. Commenting on the letter, Jack Hoag, chairman of the committee, said "we feel Anaheim should take some action toward setting up a disaster control 'plan.' We emphasize 'plan' because we feel that the city should have a clear-cut blueprint of action to be taken in the event of a disaster. We should know exactly what we are going to do. "This requires a detailed, but flexible, plan which would be as simple as the ABCs; could be readily understood by anyone; and would clearly tell exactly what to do even if total confusion prevails." "It's about like fire insurance. We may not use it—but we feel more secure with it." "We don't intend to alarm anybody. That would defeat our purpose. We, of course," fervently hope that we should never have to resort to any disaster plan. But, we feel it is good, common sense for the community to be prepared." Asked what emergencies the plan would meet, a committee spokesman said: "A sneak bombing of the harbor and industrial areas would expose Anaheim to some destruction. We don't count on enemy bombardiers being too hot in pinpointing their bombs. But, missed or hit, we face the problem of military and civilian traffic (and aid) in and out of the devastated areas. Defense program." Members of the American Legion Civil Defense committee are Jack Hoag, chairman, Bu Johnson, commander of the local post, Tom Hoag, Bill Morris, Grant Rude, John Larson, and W Osborn. Their letter to the City Council said: "It is the experience of the American Legion that many people look to our organization to provide strong support to city and county civil defense activities." "Consequently, the Anaheim post of the American Legion has appointed a Civil Defense committee to muster the manpower and resources of local Legionnaires behind the civil defense program which may be devised approved by the Anaheim City Council. "The purpose of this letter is to offer to the Mayor and City Council of Anaheim the full cooperation of the Anaheim post of the American Legion in the planning building, and manning of a civil defense program for the City Anaheim. "In this connection, you may be interested in some of the problems and questions which our Civil Defense committee has countered in its research and can discussions on the civil defense of Anaheim. "We feel that the civil defense questions which our committee is attempting to answer for membership of the Anaheim American Legion Post may be interesting to you. We believe these questions represent the basic problems of an adequate civil defense system. Once they are solved, Anaheim would have sound working basis for its civil defense program." The questions: 1. Have all the members of the civilian defense groups been quired to take a loyalty oath? 2. Is there any training program set up to train the key personnel of civilian defense group? 3. Have there been any pro- Darnell told police that he did not know the identity of the six Mexicans who, he claimed, set upon him. Neither did he discuss the motive of the assault. No arrests were made. At the bar, police learned that one Mexican had provoked Darnell by dancing with his girl friend and buying her a drink, but this man denied any knowledge of trouble with Darnell. Summoned to the scene, police arrived to find Darnell in a dazed state, standing beside his motorcycle at the curb, his girl friend with him. At the hospital two stitches were taken in his face. The Legion committee said it wants "to emphasize that we do not consider this an American Legion project or plan. We believe the strength of our disaster control lies in the solid backing of every civic group and each citizen. We do not presume to assume leadership in this important matter. That, of course, is within the purview of the City Council. We only want to offer the assistance of our studies and manpower in giving the city the disaster control plan it should have." In the letter to the City Council, the Legion committee listed 11 questions they said they are "attempting to answer" for their membership.

Philadelphia, Ana. 4103 Truman Demands (Continued From Page 1) mentioning Russia by name, but his indictment of communist aggression followed the lines of his San Francisco speech a week ago. At that time, he said, "the Soviet Union and its colonial satellites"—in both Europe and Asia—are maintaining vast armies which pose "a constant threat to world peace." Much of today's talk was devoted to the hope of world disarmament. In that connection, he said the U.N. might well consider whether its work in that field "might be revitalized" through merger of two groups it has had working on the problem, one of general disarmament and the other on control of atomic energy. Mr. Truman offered these three "basic principles" for disarmament: "First, the plan must include all kinds of weapons. Outlawing any particular kind of weapon is not enough. The conflict in Korea bears tragic witness to the fact that aggression, whatever the weapons used, brings frightful destruction. "Second, the plan must be based on unanimous agreement. A majority of its nations is not enough. No plan of disarmament can work unless it includes every nation having substantial armed forces. One-sided disarmament is a sure invitation to aggression. He made no reference to Russia's opposition to the U.N. police action in Korea or to its attempt to tag the United States as the aggressor there. As a result of the Korean victory, Mr. Truman said, the people of the world rely on the U.N.

But they already are closer than that. The plane incident highlights the touchy nature of the border situation. On the north bank of the Yalu river, in Manchuria, red China troops are massed. Big guns guard the border. Informed sources said most American troops may be out of Korea by Christmas. First element of the U.S. Eighth Army were expected to begin moving back to Japan by Thanksgiving. Australian, British and Philippine units also will be withdrawn as quickly as possible, the sources said. The South Koreans are believed to be capable of maintaining law and order once organized red Korean resistance is broken. A Marine spokesman at Wonsan airfield said the Chinese reds opened up with antiaircraft guns from inside Manchuria at the Leathernecks Monday. He said the Marine pilots were five miles inside Korea — near Manpojin, Korean We believe the members represent the basic aims of an adequate civil system. Once they are Anaheim would have a working basis for its civil program. Questions: We all the members of the can defense groups been read to take a loyalty oath? Where any training program up to train the key personnel of civilian defense groups? Have there been any provision made to establish emergency medical centers? What has been done about library housing in event of disaster or a bombing? What provision has been made to ensure adequate water and supplies? With the evacuation of persons some 600,000 persons from beaches and harbor areas, where been any plan set up local traffic control? Have the civilian defense troops set up any plan for the mobilization of manpower for fire and fire protection? Is there any organization using radio amateurs to handle communications in the event of existing communication facilities are put out of service? Here is the emergency de- and mobilization headquarters for this area? Have we an efficient air-raid system and what goods will be used to notify people? Are plans been set in motion to instruct school children that to do and where to go ease of an air raid, fire, or disaster? Do you think you will agree that we committee, composed of members of civic life, should appointed by the proper cities to devise a basic work NOW so that in the event disaster the situations infer the questions above would not create catastrophy and perhaps fatal confusion. “If nothing more such a plan would provide a valuable guide for recognizing and overcoming the collossal problems which we would face in the event of a sudden bombing (or other disaster) in this area. And, it would provide a level-headed, clear-cut medium for overcoming any hysteria generated by sudden destruction in the Anaheim area. “We know the Mayor and City Council of Anaheim are cognizant of the need for an adequate civil defense and disaster control plan. We sincerely hope you will call upon this committee for any aid we may be able to provide Anaheim city officials and the citizens of Anaheim in tackling this most important matter.” Signed JACK HOAG, Chairman, Civil Defense Committee American Legion, Anaheim. 20-30 Visits Net Parade Assistance Anaheim 20-30 club's visitations neighboring clubs in Fullerton, Orange, Yorba Linda, Santa Ana and Garden Grove showed results when all five clubs agreed to putries in the Hallowe'en parade last week.

Pressed about this singing business, Jack admits that he has been interested in music for some time. For about 35 years he has done choir work. Some time ago, in Wisconsin, he headed a male quartet on the radio. Matter of fact, it develops that he once had ideas of becoming a professional singer. However, and for this the Gazette is duly thankful, he decided against a musical career in favor of a printing career. So now, singing is purely a matter of pleasure and relaxation with him. But it has its thrilling moments. Like the other night. "Did you really get a kick out of singing on the radio, Uncle Jack?" "Did I? Son, that was the thrill of a lifetime."
