All of the major news services Anaheim's Hallowe'en Festival and Fair in La Palma Park is well on its way to living up to its expectations of drawing over 40,000 people. When the Fair closed last night, over 20,000 people had already come through the gates with the two biggest days yet to come. Anticipated crowd for the parade in Anaheim this year is 150,000 people. All of the major news services and all of the leading daily papers of Metropolitan Los Angeles will be covering this year's 27th Pageant Parade. Chief Mark Stephenson of the local police department asked that the people of Anaheim leave their cars at home and walk downtown to the parade area. Let the out-of-town people use the parking areas available. Tonight's line-up at the fair grounds will be KVOE audience participation show at 8 p.m. with a guest act. 10 p.m. greater Orange county talent contest with an all Latin-American show. Entertainment general chairman Rod Brastad says that the acts lined up for tonight are of the highest caliber, headed by Pancho Marales and his Manbo Combo. Included is a Spanish dance by Nadine.

REGAL REWARD—Queen of the Anaheim community fair, Velm candidate, was crowned by NTG last night in the big top at the eddates: Joan Hanson, Eileen June Garcia, Helen Weir, Janet Vince man, Jo Anne Wood and Elaine Newton. Thin GOP Pocketbook May Stop Reply to Truman WASHINGTON (AP)—Republicans may let President Trump's single-shot election broadcast go unmatched on the airways. A party spokesman said today they can't dig up the money for similar radio time. Mr. Truman's campaign closer for the Democrats—a St Louis speech in which he plans to sum up the congressional issues Saturday night—will be broadcast by four radio networks. That kind of operation cost around $50,000, which the Democrats are ready to fork over. A GOP headquarters spokesman, who didn't want to be quoted by name, told a reporter the Republicans haven't got that kind of money at this stage of the game. "I don't know where the money would come from," he said. He added that contributions to the GOP war chest hadn't been so good for the last month. Financial reports to Congress show the party has spent more than it has taken in. The Democrats, however, have a nest egg of about $800,000 for the campaign windup. Aside from some campaign speech help given them by national chairman Guy G. Gabrielson, Harold E. Stassen, 1948 presidential aspirant, and a group of Republican senators, GOP candidates largely are being left to fight their battles alone. Mr. Truman's Saturday night Rotarians Hear Travel Discussion C. Merle Waterman, of Santa Ana, told the Anaheim Rotary club, at its noon meeting today about his experiences with Rotarians and Rotary clubs while he conducted tours to foreign countries. Mr. Waterman has conducted 11 tours abroad. He recently returned from his fifth tour of Europe. He was introduced by Walt Taylor. During the meeting three new members were inducted into the club. They are Clare Van Hoore-beke, Walter Taylor and Avon B Carlson. "Conducting" the induction were Tex Middleton, Paul H Demaree, Dr Ed Jordt, Dr John Truxaw and Max Royer. John Ballard, who recently opened a women's and infant's apparel shop in Anaheim was a guest of the club. WILLIAM HEIDEN Heiden Named State AMS Prexy William Heiden of 404 No. Janss st., was elected president of the state's Associated Men Students at the convention of AMS presidents of California Junior Colleges this weekend at Sacramento. Carl Terhune of Vallejo, retiring president, presented the gold inscribed gavel to Heiden Saturday morning at the general meeting in the legislative hall of the state capital. Newly elected Southern Regional vice-president is Ed Cook of El Camino, taking the place of Dave Henry of Fullerton who was elected last year. Heiden, 19, was elected last school term to the office of AMS president of Fullerton Junior College. He graduated from AUHS, class of 1949. He is a member of the Student Christian Association and is active in social and governmental affairs at FJC. Attending the California junior college student government conference, also at Sacramento this weekend, was Sally Inkster of Anaheim, who is the editor of the Fullerton JC paper, The Torch. Fifty-nine California Junior colleges attended these two meetings. Financial reports to Congress show the party has spent more than it has taken in. The Democrats, however, have a nest egg of about $800,000 for the campaign windup. Aside from some campaign speech help given them by national chairman Guy G. Gabrielson, Harold E. Stassen, 1948 presidential aspirant, and a group of Republican senators, GOP candidates largely are being left to fight their battles alone. Mr. Truman’s Saturday night (Continued on page 5) You Can’t Go Wrong on This Lineup Some of these days the news may not be too exciting—or you’ll get tired of the world’s trials and tributations. So, you will just want to relax and take it easy. Well, we have the ideal recipe. We mean, of course, the exclusive Gazette features. Get the Gazette feature habit now. It’ll cause your reading pleasure to mount by leaps and bounds. For examples: Anaheim television merchants are in the “bind” over color TV. What in the world is going to happen to our TV sets? See announcement, Page 8, and editorial “Yes, you can buy Minnie the TV set,” Page 4. The Gazette starts a new (another one!!!) column today. It is a daily shorty by Anaheimer Waldo Hunter; late of Orange county’s “Most Bedraggled Newspaper.” See “Oblong Views—from an egg-shaped head.” It’s a pip. Page 4. “Vulgar, but nice” is the way the Quipper of “Colony Quips” describes money—that is, $$$$ which should be in the citrus grower’s pocket. Make “Quips” another reading habit. Page 4. “Utopia comes apart at its comradely seams.” Billy Rose gives the post office some business. He writes to Marshall Tito. It’s good Page 4. “Old Hector Whiskey” is causing trouble for Hound Dog Hickenlooper back in Iowa. Drew Pearson gets in a few barbs on the Corn State political situation. See “Merry-go-Round,” Page 4, for the ding-dong details. And then, of course, there is “In the Days of Long Ago” from the deep files of the Gazette. “Home-Makers’ Forum” always has good reading matter for the ladies. Both on Page 4. And, we know you’re not overlooking Uncle John Neubauer’s “Anaheim Gazetteer.” Say you might even try the comics; some of them are pretty good. NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1950 Cut Behind ROKs in L To Anaheim Fair Large Commie Force Enters Eastward Drive SEOUL (AP)—Two red divisions — reportedly mostly made up of Chinese communists—drove tonight on the Korean east coast city of Hamhung, far behind the slowing Allied advance toward the Manchurian border. South Korean Republican officers said the counterattacking force numbered more than 10,000 men and was 30 miles northwest of Hamhung. The reds were reported well-organized and full of fight. This development came shortly after a U.S. 10th Corps spokesman on community fair, Velma Neuman, Knights of Columbus right in the big top at the Fair.

Holloway appeared to be in a serious condition from a head injury and loss of blood. We was taken to the county hospital. Meanwhile police are investigating checks found in his possession. Sleeping pills and other medicine found in Holloway's possession may have been responsible for his accident in falling out of bed, police said. Judge Dismisses Libel Suit Against Register The $20,000 libel suit brought by Mrs. Teresa Cheyovich, formerly director of nursing services at Orange County hospital, against the Santa Ana Register was dismissed today by Judge Franklin G. West, as the case was ready to begin trial before a jury. The motion for dismissal came from Mrs. Cheyovich's own attorney. South Korean Republican officers said the counterattacking force numbered more than 10,000 men and was 30 miles northwest of Hamhung. The reds were reported well-organized and full of fight. This development came shortly after a U.S. 10th Corps spokesman said a full Chinese regiment (possibly 500 to 2000 men) was in action in the same area—the first official word that sizable Chinese force was helping the desperate North Koreans. Commenting on the Hamhung report—relayed by AP correspondent Bem Price—the 10th Corps spokesman said it "is basically on the right track but the units in mention are larger than our information indicates." Thus, it still was not clear whether the South Korean report on the number of Chinese was exaggerated. However, Americans County Weekend Wrecks Hurt 12 Twelve persons were injured, eight of them seriously, in a series of week-end trafic accidents in Orange county. Six persons received major injuries at 2:05 a.m. Sunday in a head-on crash between automobiles driven by Antonip C. Meza, 29, Stanton, and Virginia May Smith, 21, Orange. The accident took place on Westminster blvd., west of Newhope rd. The injured all taken to Santa Ana community hospital included both drivers and Cruz Meza, 28, and Thomesa Lopez, 25, both of Stanton, Phelia Ophelia Reys, 28, and Ray Thomas, 20, both of Santa Ana. James Melbourne, 72, 7971 Brookhurst rd., Anaheim, a pedestrian, suffered major injuries at 4:50 p.m. Saturday, on Manchester blvd., at La Palma ave., where he was struck by a car driven by Sgt. E. B. F. Snipes, 27, El Toro Marine base. The car carried Melbourne 50 feet along the highway. He was taken to Anaheim community hospital. William E.

Dawas not expected to be eveive, but the Red Cross pro Against Register The $20,000 libel suit brought by Mrs. Teresa Cheyovich, formerly director of nursing services at Orange County hospital, against the Santa Ana Register was dismissed today by Judge Franklin G. West, as the case was ready to begin trial before a jury. The motion for dismissal came from Mrs. Cheyovich's own attorney Robert Corfman and was granted with "prejudice" which will prevent the filing of another action. Mrs. Cheyovich who resigned from the hospital position after a series of turbulent events, including the resignation of a number of nurses in protest against her, charged that the Register's reports of the situation had libellled her. She had originally brought suit for $50,000 against both the Register and Thomas P. Douglas, county welfare director, who also was acting administrator of the hospital at the time. She charged the Register with libel and Douglas with slander. Patch Talks Loara Defense Thursday L. A.

Withdrawal of monies for all agencies is now made only on warrants signed by Kuchel as controller. "The controller is the people's safeguard," said Kuchel. He protects their money.
