Preparing choice buffalo cuts for the Ladies' Night crowd are, left to right: Dick Martin, Les Roseberry, Keith Mahoney and Bud Bailey. 400 Attend Ike Walton Ladies Night "The 18th one and the best yet." That's how Anaheim Ikes summed up their annual Ladies' Night last night when was over and done at the Community Center. An estimated 400 people, Ikes and their ladies and their friends and their friends' ladies crowded the gaily decorated hall to listen to music and song and speeches, learn about Ike activities, take chances on door prizes and partake of a delicious barbecued buffalo dinner. Diners, when they had cleaned their plates, sang the praises of Bud Paschall and his kitchen crew of Anaheim Ikes. Through master chef Paschall's artistry, a two and one-half year old buffalo heifer went the way of all edible flesh. Speaker for the evening was Delbert Stephenson, Riverside, a National Director of the Izaac Walton League and president of the East Riverside Water Co. Stephenson's topic was "Water." Stephenson labelled water as the nation's major resource, said that retention of it is a principal problem today and called on all conservation-minded Ikes to answer the challenge. Many areas suffer from water deficiency, he said, among them Orange county. Ikes, he continued, must get out and "sell the people of the nation on water conservation. Water deficiency," Stephenson intoned solemnly, "is no MUTUAL AGREEMENT—Head Chief Bud Paschall, left, and assistant Bill Simmons reach agreement over the readiness of their culinary efforts for the Ike diners last night. So, later, did upwards of 400 guests who attended the affair at the Olive community center. County Threatens to Take Back Dough If Sanitary Districts Don't Move A not-so-subtle hint was handed today to the county's several sanitation districts: Get going, or else face the fact that the county might take back the $500,000. The nestegg of a cool half-million bucks is the Orange county remainder of a state grant made some years ago to help in public works projects; the money was set aside by the Legislature to all California counties and cities to pay the freight on construction and engineering services for projects which couldn't be done during outfall near Santa Ana river. Chairman Willis Warner of the supervisors said that the board has "discussed" the possibility that the county might claim the money since the sanitation districts can't get together; they have been at odds almost since $8,308,000 worth of bonds were voted Feb. 28, 1949, to finance the county-wide sewer systems. Deadline for claiming the money is Dec. 31, 1951. If the districts don't use it, and the Legislature won't extend the time lim- State Promises Traffic Signals For Manslaughter Well, at least they got some action. Residents of Anaheim, Freeway Park and points between petitioned the board of supervisors for traffic signals at the La Palma ave., intersection with Manchester blvd., being improved into the Santa Ana Freeway. The board of supervisors approved the idea and asked the state to do something about it. Today, M. E. Cessna, district engineer for the state highway department, said that the state will install them—when it gets some money. None is available now, he said, but the necessity of signals there is well known. In support of petitions urging the signals, of the type which are activated by automobiles approaching the intersection, the petitioners claimed two deaths and 15 injuries in a series of accidents within a month's time at the angle-intersection where La Palma connects with Manchester. Anaheim Stores Open Evenings Anaheim merchants today decided they will keep their doors open for after-dinner Christmas shoppers starting next Monday evening. From Monday on, the stores will be open to shoppers until 8:30 p.m. The extended schedule runs six nights a week. Action was determined by members of the Chamber of Commerce Retail Merchants division this morning. Vishinsky Says US 'Intervention' Third War Crux LAKE SUCCESS (UP)—Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinski told the United Nations today "the American intervention in Korea is the crux of the third world war and it must be halted to avert it." The Soviet foreign minister spoke before the General Assembly's 60-nation Political committee in a vigorous attempt to delay debate on a six-power demand for the withdrawal of Chinese communist troops from Korea. Vishinsky flatly rejected an appeal by Faris El Khoury of Syria that he drop his opposition and let the committee get on with its debate on the China-Korea issue. El Kohoury had appealed that the peace of the world was involved in the Korean conflict and the committee should do something to allay world fears. AHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1950 Allied Troops Brace in Above 38th to Tack Eighth Army Greatly Outnumbered But Still Unified Fighting Force TOYKO (P)—Allied troops braced on a new hill defense line 25 miles south of fallen Pyongyang today for a stand against steadily advancing vanguards of a million-man Chinese red expeditionary force. The line stretched inland 70 miles in northwest Korea from the Yellow Sea. It was a defense in depth on commanding and not a solid line. The U.S. Eighth Army, with its long and bitter retreat at a halt, was greatly outnumbered and hard hit but still was a unified fighting force. The Chinese armies in front of it were estimated at 100,000 men against steadily advancing vanguards of a million-man Chinese red expeditionary force. The line stretched inland 70 miles in northwest Korea from the Yellow Sea. It was a defense in depth on commanding and not a solid line. The U.S. Eighth Army, with its long and bitter retreat at a halt, was greatly outnumbered and hard hit but still was a unified fighting force. The Chinese armies in front of it were estimated at 100,000 men with up to 80,000 combat reserves behind those reds and hundreds of thousands more in Korea or moving up from Manchuria. The Eighth Army force on the defense line is something less than the 110,000 men Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker had when he was forced to retreat late in November. By RUSSELL BRINES TOKYO (AP)—Allied forces will try to stop the Chinese communist drive in northwest Korea with a stand north of the 38th Parallel in the broken hills and valleys below fallen Pyongyang. This was announced today by Gen. MacArthur's spokesman in an unprecedented advance identification of Allied positions. He said United Nations forces are digging in along a line running west from Koksan, 58 miles north of Parallel 38, to the vicinity of Chinnampo, the Yellow Sea port for Pyongyang. This is a 70-mile area that embraces the main highways and the railroad leading toward Seoul. It had been expected that some sort of a stand would be made in North Korea, if for no other reason than to safeguard the con- Continued on Page 5 R.A.

The State of the World—Nine Years After Japanese Bombed Pearl Harbor WASHINGTON (AP)—Nine years ago today a Japanese ink on Pearl Harbor catapulted this nation into World II. The impact of the disaster of that Sunday afternoon— July 1941—stirred the United States to a mighty effort in brought victory. And it heralded for America a new of world leadership in the cause of freedom. When the victory finally came, a tired and chastened I looked eagerly for a path to permanent peace. As a being stone, it set up the United Nations. It's just nine years since Pearl Harbor. Where has the leader? In the Korean ice-box, hundreds of thousands carrying U.N. banner are fighting for their lives against hordes chinese communists. In Indochina and Malaya, man kills for power or freedom. War and rumors of war have not died. And in America and elsewhere around the world, leadather in public to confer, or in private to prepare . . .

Its industries are far stronger in waring potentialities than they were in 1941. Russia and her satellites have twice the manpower of west. Their economy is geared for war. Their spy and age rings are active throughout the world. Russia may atom bombs, too. If general war should come, the U.S. I have to fight again on a distant front, but this time, experts agree, the "Pearl Harbors" might easily be American cities. The world has come thus far in just nine years. WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman and Prime Minister Attlee today were reported seriously considering a blockade of the red China coast if United Nations troops are long beleaguered or are driven out of Korea. The proposal was described by diplomatic informants as one of several ways considered for dealing with the Chinese communist aggression. Depending on what actually happens in the Korean fighting. Negotiation of a settlement is another possible way and the president and prime minister are ready to consider any Chinese peace move provided it does not involve "appeasement." In general, it appears that Mr. Truman and his advisers are taking a much tougher line than Attlee on the Far East, both as to possible negotiations or as to putting direct pressure on the Chinese reds outside Korea. What Attlee clearly would like to get agreement on here—but what he apparently has little or no hope of obtaining—is a course of Anglo-American action aimed at bringing the Far Eastern crisis to a close at the earliest possible moment and by broad scale negotiation with the Chinese reds if necessary. Doctor Lodges Electric Suit Too much electricity in his house meant a disastrous fire for him, Dr. Lloyd A. Burrows of Anaheim charged today in a Superior Court suit for $10,627 damages against a motorist who hit a transformer pole carrying high-voltage lines, and the Edison co., which outfit owns the pole. He said that Robert O. Ballard was driving a car which ploughed into a pole Nov. 10, sending 10,-000 volts of electricity through the lines of his house at 9802 S. Los Angeles st., Anaheim. The garage caught fire and destroyed household goods and laundry equipment worth $7500, and inside his home, the television set and radio, plus other appliances, were ruined, Dr. Burrows said in his complaint. He charged Ballard with negligence in operating his car, which hit the transformer pole near the This is the picture: The United States has atom bombs, long range aircraft the world's largest Navy.

Lesson for Today: Two Little Words With Much Meaning for Younger Fry By The Associated Press are, for the benefit of the later generation, is an extention of two words—Dunkeque and Munich—which have used repeatedly in the last days in connection with the an crisis: Dunkeque — This seaport is northernmost town of ce, near the Belgian borin 1940 the Germans swept high Belgium and on into ce. It looked as if the Britforce in that area would be out. But an armada of vessels, ranging from its to warships, moved in rescued $37,000 men from peaches, and they lived to another day. It was one of the epcs of the early days World War II. Since that "Dunkerque" has come to a sea-borne evacuation or one of armed forces from a son they cannot hold. Munich—This is the capital Savaria in Germany. An agreement was reached here in September, 1938, among Britain, France, Germany and Italy. It broke up Czechoslovakia, in response to German demands, and was designed to pacify Adolph Hitler. The Munich agreement became known as a symbol of attempted appeasement. 10 YEAR OLD BOYS FACE MANSLAUGHTER PETITION LOS ANGELES (AP) —Two-10-year-old boys and another eight years old are held in juvenile hall for a hearing on manslaughter petitions stemming from the death of James Hensley, three, of Torrance. Sheriff's investigators told a coroner's jury yesterday that one of the boys threw a steel wagon axle at another lad but it hit little Jimmy in the head.
