VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHE Truman Considering 80,000 Reds Smash Anew Britain Warns China Reds to Consider Acts LAKE SUCCESS (AP)—Britain today called on communist China to reconsider her action in Korea and warned that Peiping's interests "may well suffer and suffer acutely" if Chinese red troops keep on pouring into battle. Schoolmen Ask Industry Halt at Water Street Moving closer to a decision on the rezoning plans for Anaheim City Councilmen and Planning Commissioners met at 2 p.m. today to discuss changes on the proposed rezoning ordinance. As of this morning the city fathers, in whom the final decision rests, had one more problem to cope with. In a resolution reflecting the protests of southeastern Anaheimers who would deny proposed extension of light manufacturing area southward between Olive and the Santa Fe tracks to within 150 ft. of South st., trustees of the Anaheim School District petitioned Councilmen and Commissioners to China Reds to Consider Acts LAKE SUCCESS (P)—Britain today called on communist China to reconsider her action in Korea and warned that Peiping's interests "may well suffer and suffer acutely" if Chinese red troops keep on pouring into battle. Voicing Britain's support of the United States position in Korea, Sir Gladwyn Jebb urged the U.N. Security Council to vote at once on a six-power resolution demanding withdrawal of Chinese communist troops. A Russian veto is expected to block council action on the resolution when a vote is reached, possibly later today. Anticipating that development, the western powers plan to indict the Chinese communists within 24 hours in the Ge Assembly. The Assembly has scheduled a plenary session at Flushing Meadows tomorrow to consider several social items. It thus will be available to take up at once United States charges that the Chinese Nation's Traffic Death Toll Rises CHICAGO (P)—Deaths on U.S. streets and highways have risen again—for the eleventh month in a row. The National Safety Council reported today: Traffic fatalities in October rose to 3,440. That was 12 per cent more than for October of last year. October was the 11th consecutive month to show an increase. The loss of lives in October raised the total for 10 months in 1950 to 28,020. That was 11 per cent greater than the 10 month total recorded in 1949. Ned H. Dearborn, council president, said he hoped the figures would serve as a "red flag of warning" to drivers and pedestrians in the dangerous month ahead. "December is normally one of the most hazardous driving months of the year because of bad weather, poor visibility and heavy traffic." Halt at Water Street Moving closer to a decision on the rezoning plans for Anaheim City Councilmen and Planning Commissioners met at 2 p.m. today to discuss changes on the proposed rezoning ordinance. As of this morning the city fathers, in whom the final decision rests, had one more problem to cope with. In a resolution reflecting the protests of southeastern Anaheimers who would deny proposed extension of light manufacturing area southward between Olive and the Santa Fe tracks to within 150 ft. of South st., trustees of the Anaheim School District petitioned Councilmen and Commissioners to halt industrial extension at Water st. According to present zoning ordinance, this would amount to leaving the southern boundary of the light manufacturing where it now stands, at Water st. The one exception is the light manufacturing strip which runs south on either side of the Santa Fe tracks to South st. The trustees' resolution, dated November 27 and signed by president H. H. Stabbert, clerk John P. Mary, Jr. and trustee Thomas Henry: WHEREAS, The Anaheim School District purchased a site for the Thomas Jefferson School at 504 East South Street, Anaheim, California, in territory zoned at R1, in June, 1948, such purchases having been made after due notice had been given, and such measures taken as the law requires, and, WHEREAS, When the question of industrialization of that territory became a subject of discussion, reconsidered the matter of building a school at that site, and held public meetings for the question to be debated, and, No Immediate Rush of Home-Front Controls Says Production Official WASHINGTON (P)—Civilians may feel fairly certain that the military reverses in Korea will not bring a rush of home front controls, a national production authority (NPA) official said today. A cut in civilian use of copper announced late yesterday and the other industrial mobilization controls already issued have been drawn up "as if we were preparing for the worst," a spokesman for the agency said. A sharp speedup in the defense department's rearmament time-table could affect NPA's schedule of home front controls, the spokesman told a reporter, but it is unlikely the effect would be felt immediately. "We have taken some criticism on grounds that our industrial controls were running ahead of the military production program," said this official, who asked not to be named. "But a lot of minds have been changed in the last 48 hours. Events are catching up with us." NPA yesterday ordered a 15 per cent cut in civilian use of Class A Court Unaffected by State Changes Anaheim's new Class A Justice Court will not be disturbed, at least for the time being, by passage of the State Inferior Court Reorganization measure at the Nov. 7 election, it was learned today. Despite the fact that the new Constitutional amendment abolished Class A Justice Courts, legislation authorized by it to reorganize the court system does not take effect for two years. Ned H. Dearborn, council president, said he hoped the figures would serve as a "red flag of warning" to drivers and pedestrians in the dangerous month ahead. "December is normally one of the most hazardous driving months of the year because of bad weather, poor visibility and the heavy travel and festivity of the year-end holidays," he said. "The death tolls prove there is more danger this year, so the sensible thing to do is to use more caution." Autos Barred in Icy Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP)—Armed National Guardsmen barred autos from entering downtown Pittsburgh today in an effort to prevent a traffic jam which would stymie snow-removing operations. The helmeted troops — more than 200 strong — stood guard at 52 road blocks on streets leading to the Golden Triangle, Pittsburgh's downtown business district. Mayor David L. Lawrence ordered the guardsmen to halt and turn back all autos except those on essential errands. Yesterday thousands of motorists jammed the downtown area, ignoring requests to leave their cars at home. Many were shoppers, anxious to buy in stores which had been closed since Friday. Parking space on the snow-clogged streets is non-existent. There won't be any parking until snow-removal crews clear streets of the record breaking 30.5 inch snowfall of the past six days. "We have taken some criticism on grounds that our industrial controls were running ahead of the military production program," said this official, who asked not to be named. "But a lot of minds have been changed in the last 48 hours. Events are catching up with us." NPA yesterday ordered a 15 per cent cut in civilian use of copper and brass for January and February, and a 20 per cent curtailment in March. The order will be effective on the same day—Jan. 1—as a more drastic 35 per cent reduction in non-defense use of aluminum ordered recently. In both cases industry is limited to a percentage of its average monthly use in the first half of 1950. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m., today was 59 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 62 at 4 p.m., yesterday. Low was 51 at 7 a.m., today. Churchill Plans Birthday Cruise LONDON, (AP) — Winston Churchill turned 76 today — and made plans for a sunny Mediterranean vacation during the Christmas holidays. Despite increasingly threatening war clouds in the Far East, a secretary for Britain's last wartime prime minister said he would observe the Yuletide in some place sunny and warm—where he can do some painting. Neither the vacation spot nor the time of departure has been decided, the secretary said. The first of many gifts received by the stogie-puffing Tory leader was a large, ornate cigar cabinet from a suburban Conservative association.

Lull Quiets Bloody Front On Northwest SEOUL (AP) — Eighty thousand Chinese reds on a new offensive were reported attacking United Nations forces in northeast Korea today. A curious lull fell on the frozen bloody battlefronts Bloody Front On Northwest SEOUL (AP) — Eighty thousand Chinese reds on a new offensive were reported attacking United Nations forces in northeast Korea today. A curious lull fell on the frozen bloody battlefronts in the northwest. Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond told war reporters six to 10 Chinese divisions "suddenly confronted" his 10th Corps forces in the northeast. Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker's Eighth Army in the northwest was similarly faced with 200,000 red Chinese at the outset of the communist offensive last weekend. American Marines and Infantrymen around the Changjin reservoir were surrounded in Almond's area. They were battling fiercely but the Marine supply route was cut. Intelligence officers said probably six of the divisions mentioned by Almond were in the forward attacking force. Some red tanks were in use there. In the northwest, AP correspondent Hal Boyle reported after aerial observation that the last American troops protecting the bitter retreat of the U.S. Eighth Army across the icy Chongchon river pulled back safely through flaming Kunu. Fighter planes strafed Chinese moving toward the town. American vehicles crunched Continued on Page 5 Honey Bear Goes Back Home Today SACRAMENTO, Calif., (AP) — This is "going home day" for Nina (Honey Bear) Warren—the spunky 17-year-old daughter of Gov. Earl Warren. In 23 days she has won her battle with polio. Dr. Junius B. Harris, spokesman for six specialists, reported: "There are no paralyzed muscles in her legs. She will be able to walk and be a normal child again." Initially Nina was paralyzed from the hips down. When the pretty high school senior was told Bad-Humored Good Humor Man Lands in Cooler TEMPLE CITY (UP) — Richard M. Young, a good humor ice cream salesman, was out of character today. He was, in fact, in jail. Officers arrested him last night on a charge of drunk driving in his portable deep freeze dispensary. They say Young, 26, has been "feuding" with a rival ice cream salesman, Willard John Vogel, who peddles the wares of Peter's Cotton-tail. Vogel told the officers that Young accosted him near Monrovia, called him names, weaved his truck back and forth in front of Vogel's, and tried to start a fight. Residents couldn't make out which truck was playing "Till Be Home for Christmas" and which was broadcasting "Jingle Bells." "It sounded like the 'Cow Cow Boogle' played backwards," shouted one resident who called police.

Jeffers Warns of Smog Consequences LOS ANGELES (AP)—A warning from a top industrialist that smog is going to drive people out of Los Angeles highlighted rising public protests over the nuisance today. An assembly committee on air pollution wound up a hearing after three days' intensive subjection to just what it is investigating—smog. Telephone calls to city and county officials, letters to editors of newspapers and public conversation generally dwelt on what can be done about smog—described during the hearing as a killer. William M. Jeffers, civic leader and retired president of the Union Pacific Railroad, charged that Los Angeles is being "crucified" by failure to control the problem. “Conditions’ after three years of ‘control’ under the supervisors are an outrage,” he said. “They are going to drive a lot of people out of Los Angeles and that includes me. "A big city like Los Angeles is crucified, and although I was partly responsible for the present law, if they (the supervisors) don’t do something I would favor turning the matter over to the cities for effective results.” The assembly committee, which is trying to determine whether a state law should replace the present county-controlled district setup, will meet next in San Francisco. Chairman Randal F. Dickey of Alameda said as the Los Angeles session wound up yesterday that the committee will resume its talks later in the north. Donald W. Cleary, represident Mayor Elmer Robinson of Francisco, said it would be difficult to apply the present smog law to the bay area. A law, or amendment, might necessary to fit problems to He said, however, that “we need to do this without prejudice” the state statute which I understand is satisfactory here.” Cleary added that “we have smog now, but industry is pandering and we’re looking ahead.” The city council, meantime resolution directed the city agency to take such steps as he prosecute smog violators, ing upon the district attorney general, if necessary. ZETTE BER 30, 1950 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month No. 174 Use if Necessary UN Stays In Korea Says Chief WASHINGTON (UP)—President Truman declared today the United Nations forces will not back down in Korea, and that the atom bomb will be used if necessary to meet the military situation. Mr. Truman's firm stand and mention of the most fearful weapon in the world's history came at a news conference filled to overflowing by 200 reporters.

This was the highlight of Conferer William Shullenbarger's report to grower members at theoperative's annual meeting. The roller's report showed the financial affairs of both MOD and RGCP to be in sound condition.

Man Killed in In Capistrano Auto Crash Jack E. Mueller, 38, Hawthorne, was killed instantly and his brother, William I. Mueller, 35, of Tujunga, was injured when a car driven by the former crashed against the abuttment of a bridge across San Juan creek, near San Juan Capistrano, shortly before 8 o'clock last evening. Five other persons were injured in accidents at various points in the county including Mrs. Robert Schumer, 30, 8241 Euclid ave., Anaheim, who lost control of her car which struck a palm tree on Romneya dr., east of Euclid ave., at 5:30 yesterday. She was taken to Fullerton Cottage hospital. The Mueller brothers were returning from a fishing trip in the San Diego area when their accident occurred. William Mueller later told California Highway Patrolmen that he had become sleepy and relinquished the wheel to his brother sometime before WASHINGTON (U.F.)—President Truman declared today the United Nations forces will not back down in Korea, and that the atom bomb will be used if necessary to meet the military situation. Mr. Truman's firm stand and mention of the most fearful weapon in the world's history came at a news conference filled to overflowing by 200 reporters. The president said that whether the bomb was used was up to American military leaders in the field, but that personally he hoped it would not have to be employed. This appeared on its face to mean the decision on dropping the bomb was one for General MacArthur, but some two hours after the news conference the White House took pains to make it clear the final answer had not been left up to MacArthur. A White House spokesman, who declined to be named, said Mr. Truman's remarks did not mean MacArthur himself can order use of the bomb. He noted that under the law all A-bombs are in custody of the Atomic Energy Commission, and that only the president himself can order their use. Mr. Truman was drawn into discussion of the A-bomb by questions from reporters after he had read a statement denouncing the Chinese communist attacks on U.N. forces in Korea, attaching them to Soviet imperialism, and announced that this country will speed up its mobilization of troops and armaments. There were indications later that some of Mr. Truman's foreign policy advisors were unhappy that the president had chosen to comment on the subject of the A-bomb at this time. In the course of its efforts to straighten out the impression, gained by many reporters, that MacArthur had A-bomb authority, the White House made available a stenographic transcript of the news conference exchanges. Mr. Truman's remarks were put in indirect quotation, but these were the questions and the sub- (Continued on Page 5) 3020 Staters Asked by Draft partial payments made for year's fruit to more than 32,000 for all of this season's receipt at the Anaheim plant. paid so far this season presents a rate of $40.96 per pound of Valencias containing 120 pounds of fruit solids; $56.28 per pound for lemons containing 60 pounds of fruit solids, and $12.88 grapefruit containing 80 pounds of fruit solids.

Cleary, representing Elmer Robinson of San Francisco, said it would be difficult to apply the present state law to the bay area. A new or amendment, might be necessary to fit problems there. Cleary added that "we have no now, but industry is exiting and we're looking ahead." The city council, meantime, by motion directed the city attorney to take such steps as he can prosecute smog violators, call upon the district attorney or they general, if necessary. Child Chained For Firing Bed Says Downey Mom DOWNEY, Calif. (AP)—"I chained him up because he was always setting fire to his bed, or something," sobbed the mother of a seven-year-old boy found chained to a post outside his home. Mrs. Marjorie De Leon, 32, gave this explanation in court yesterday as she pleaded guilty to a charge of unjustifiably punishing a minor child. Mrs. De Leon remained at liberty without bond to care for her four other children, pending a hearing Dec. 21. Her son, Eugene, was found chained in his back yard. Only his 80-year-old great grandmother was at home, police said. MacArthur had A-bomb authority, the White House made available a stenographic transcript of the news conference exchanges.
