VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim’s FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Reds Reject Asian-Arab Peace Plan LAKE SUCCESS (F) — Russia today rejected an Asian-Arab plan for a Korean cease-fire, on the ground that the United States and Britain would use a truce to prepare their forces for a new attack. A statement by Jacob A. Malik dashed the hopes of U.N. delegates for acceptance of the 13-nation peace plan by the Chinese communists, who adhere closely to Soviet policy. Malik insisted there can be no peace in Korea until all U.N. troops are withdrawn. “My delegation objects to and will vote against the draft resolution before the committee,” Malik said. “We will object to the adoption of any resolution which has implicit in it the maintenance of foreign troops in Korea.” nation peace plan by the Chinese communists, who adhere closely to Soviet policy. Malik insisted there can be no peace in Korea until all U.N. troops are withdrawn. "My delegation objects to and will vote against the draft resolution before the committee," Malik said. "We will object to the adoption of any resolution which has implicit in it the maintenance of foreign troops in Korea." Malik spoke before the Political committee of the United Nations Assembly which is considering an Asian-Arab proposal for a three-man group to work out a cease-fire arrangement. He told the committee he did not question the motives of the sponsoring countries, but that it was clear the United States and Britain were interested only in stopping the fighting and not in solving outstanding Asian problems. Malik then asked: "Isn't the proposal for a cease-fire a hypocritical attempt to get a breathing spell so they can get their broken ranks together and continue their intervention in Korea?" The Soviet delegate's declaration was taken as an indication that communist China probably would not agree to a cease-fire unless it is tied with a solution of other demands, including admission to the U.N. County Draft Sends Call To 62 Men Sixty-two Orange county men will be inducted into military service Dec. 20, 20 of them by local Draft Board 135, which includes Anaheim in its jurisdiction, it was announced today by Mrs. Stella Crowley, in charge of Selective Service headquarters, Santa Ana.

As in all previous calls, the draftees are for the Army, the service where the greatest manpower buildup is needed and where the heaviest losses have occurred. The Army wants 80,000 called up in January and the same in February instead of calling only 40,000 the first month and 50,000 in the second. The 80,000 is the biggest monthly call since the huge demands of World War II. Chest Drive Nears Goal Anaheim's 1950 Community Chest effort is at the 72 per cent mark on the way toward its $22,-500 goal, publicity chairman Bert Arnold said this morning. He added that the drive would taper off for the remainder of the year, then step up for a final goal-reaching attempt after New Years. Arnold also announced that the Chest headquarters have been moved from N. Los Angeles st., to 820 S. Philadelphia. Contacts can be made there or through phone 2462 or through P.O. Box 405. Eggs Soar to Dollar-a-Dozen LOS ANGELES (AP)—Eggs hit a dollar a dozen in some markets today. Elsewhere they ranged downward a few cents from 98 cents for large Grade AA. Market sources say there's a 50-50 chance that they'll break before Christmas. “Supplies here are still short, and people are buying for the holidays,” said one spokesman. Grade AA large eggs ranged from 89 to 95 cents in most markets. Normally changes in eastern prices are reflected here in from four to six days.

The move for the two hour limit was launched by the Chamber of Commerce two weeks ago when local merchants noted that all day parkers, including employees of firms along Anaheim’s main streets, were usurping parking space set aside for prospective shoppers who drive to town. PETITION FILED FOR ADMINISTRATION Guy B. Daniels of 202 S. Olive st., Anaheim, has filed a petition in Superior Court, Santa Ana, for Truman told Congressional leaders today of plans for “a very rapid increase” in military strength and won backing from Republicans present. They agreed the country is confronted with “a dangerous emergency.” The White House issued a statement summarizing the two-hour conference and also announced that Mr. Truman will make a world-wide radio broadcast at 7:30 p.m., (PST) Friday night. It was indicated the address will be primarily a statement to the American people of the necessity for sacrifices on the home front to support increased armed forces and supply the arms they need. The address likely will be supplemented by a proclamation declaring a national emergency, although the Congress members said after their talk with Mr. Truman that this was a matter still undecided. Senator Lucas (D-Ill) and Rep. Vinson (D-Ga) said they expected such a proclamation. Senator Wherry (R-Neb) said he also expects one, and that his impression is that Mr. Truman is inclined to “total mobilization” of the home front. The White House statement said there appeared to be “strong sentiment” among the Republican and Democratic leaders “in favor of declaring a national emergency,” but that some withheld (Continued on Page 7). Chicken Rancher Has to Move The controversy over Ed and Jewell Clements’ chicken ranch on E. Center st., was ended by City Councilmen last night. Clements will have to move. Councilmen denied his petition for renewal of the variance, expired Nov. 9, which permitted him to operate the poultry place at 1514 E. Center st. Councilmen got the disputed issue back in their laps last night after Planning Commissioners had returned it with no definite recommedation but with the notation that they considered, after on-the-spot observation, that the ranch endangered health in the area. Both Planning Commissioners Bank of America Buys Anaheim Magnolia Bonds Bank of America’s bid for purchase of Anaheim sewer bonds the amount of $1,040,000 approved by Anaheim City Council last night. Bond money goes for Anaheim’s share of Magnolia Trunk costs and domestic sewer costs. Interest rate averages out 1.6475 per cent. Minus the premium of $889, the cost to the bank will be $231,311, bank representative Dick Gay told councilmen last night. The bank bid one and three quarters per cent interest on $320,000 par value bonds matured Jan. 15, 1952 to Jan. 15, 1957, and one-half per cent interest on $400,000 par value bonds matured Jan. 15, 1960 to Jan. 15, 1957 and one and three-quarters per cent on $320,000 par value bonds matured Jan. 15, 1970 to Jan. 1977. Only other bidder on the bond was Security First National Bank of Los Angeles which filed a offer and three-quarters per cent interest offer. The Bank of America recent noted that all day parkers, including employees of firms along Anaheim's main streets, were usurping parking space set aside for prospective shoppers who drive to town. PETITION FILED FOR ADMINISTRATION Guy B. Daniels of 202 S. Olive st., Anaheim, has filed a petition in Superior Court, Santa Ana, for letters of administration over the estate of his late wife, Mrs. Blanche G. Daniels, whose death took place Dec. 4. Councilmen got the disputed issue back in their laps last night after Planning Commissioners had returned it with no definite recommendation but with the notation that they considered, after on-the-spot observation, that the ranch endangered health in the area. Both Planning Commissioners and Councilmen have seen petitions and heard arguments for and against issuance of a new variance for the chicken ranch.

Massed Chinese, 80,000 Strong Threaten Tiny Escape Beachhead TOKYO (AP)—Some 60,000 Allied troops were streaming across Hungnam’s shell-pocked docks and beaches into evacuation ships today on a fighting pull-out from northeast Korea. Their destination was a top secret. Massed Chinese red troops—possibly 80,000—pressed threateningly against the tiny escape beachhead 130 miles deep in communist territory. American Doughboys on the evacuation defense perimeter hurled back a Chinese attack Wednesday morning in a three-hour fight. It was launched by Chinese wearing captured American uniforms. Car Closer For Fire Chief The plight of acting Anaheim Fire Chief Ed Stringer, whose car, unequipped with usual red lights and siren, proved little use in battling heavy traffic to reach a fire last Sunday, approached a solution at last night's meeting of the City Council. City Administrator Keith Murdoch told councilmen of the problem and suggested new car possibilities for the fire department's head man. U.S. 10th Corps officers expected heavier blows would come Wednesday night. They feared the Chinese would try to swarm in for a kill with massive attacks before the last American, British, Puerto Rican and South Korean Troops got away. Army Sgt. George Burdick of Lakeport, Calif., summed up the mood of weary troops: "We want to get the hell out of here. We weren't exactly beat. We were just fighting a lost cause against too damned many Chinese." The evacuation began two days ago under military secrecy. It was orderly but hurried in the face of mounting Chinese threat. Kiwanians Honor 30-Year Members At Annual Christmas Party At their annual Christmas party, held last night in the Elks club house, the Anaheim Kiwanis club honored four of their members for 30 years service, presented another with a 25 year plaque, honored another for Boy Scout achievement and paid tribute to Catherine Adams who was the club's first first-lady, her husband, the late Henry Adams, being the initial president. After the invocation, music and dinner, president Ted Payne introduced the retiring board of directors and their wives.
