NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 1951 Murderous Attacks Push 10 Miles of Seoul on W White Temple Brings Two Families Of White Russians to County Two families of displaced persons came to live in Anaheim this weekend. Sponsored by the Methodist church, these families may find a home here after a quarter century, for some of them, of running away from the reds. Vladimir, 37, Apolimaria, 65, and Ludmilla., 12, are all members of the Kozlovsky family. The two adults left Rusia in 1918 at the time of the revolation. They had been farmers in the Ukraine. When Communist Russia came into power, they had to leave. The reds took everything they had. It's Wet About .8 Inch Drizzles Here By the Farm Editor Rain, rain, don't go away— It's Wet About .8 Inch Drizzles Here By the Farm Editor Rain, rain, don't go away—come back again, any old day. That is the way farmers of this area want to have the old rain ditty read. Today's "million dollar" rain was enjoyed by all and Anaheim merchants looked ahead to their own "dollar days" of this week end with new encouragement from Jupiter Pluvious. The moisture surely looked good but up to about noon time there was too little of it. About .8 of an inch was all a reliable gauge could count in Anaheim. That much was very, very welcome but if more does not come soon many growers will have to irrigate. Thousands of acres of grain will be determined by this storm and although this sample will keep it going there will have to be at least an inch to get a real growth. However, all water experts were hopeful of a heavy snowfall in the mountains which would help the water situation greatly. It was snowing at most mountain resorts. SANTA ANA—Orange county communities today were being drenched by a rainstorm of confluence in 1918 at the time of the revolution. They had been farmers in the Ukraine. When Communist Russia came into power, they had to leave. The reds took everything they had. Hundreds of families left Russia at that time to flee to Shanghai. They reached their destination by walking across Siberia and the Gobi Desert in Tibet to the International Settlement in Shanghai. They lived in this haven until about 19 months ago, when the Communists infiltrated Shanghai. The White Russians living there again had to flee to escape punishment for being Communist blacklists. Philippine Islands offered refuge for a time. UNESCO program helped to evacuate a large number of them to the Samar Islands where they lived in tents. Many of their children died there of tropical diseases. Then various church agencies agreed with the U.S. government to find jobs and housing in the United States for the hundreds of DP's marooned on the island. The government paid the passage for the trip to the U.S. The first group docked in San Francisco in December. Seventeen hundred landed last Tuesday. Three hundred are being sponsored by the Methodist church and the Catholic church took 100 children, all from an orphanage, and are settling them in the San Francisco Bay area. Other churches took the rest. The local Methodist church is sponsoring the Kozlovsky family and Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Takulofs. Both families belong to the Russian Orthodox church.

WELCOME TO ANAHEIM—Mrs. Ben Danker, Olive, who will be their host in the United State, welcomes Mrs. Opolimaria Kozlovsky, her niece, Ludmilla, and her son, Vladimir, upon their rival at the White Temple Methodist church in Anaheim Friday afternoon.—(Gazette photo by Bev 1951 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month NUMBER 62 Push Allies to Within on West Korea Front Reds Won't Submit, Dig In to Die TOKYO (P)—Chinese communists died fighting in their mountain foxholes today. They resisted to the bitter end a wary but seemingly relentless Allied advance to within 10 miles of Seoul in Western Korea. Associated Press correspondent Jim Becker reported 130 reds were killed on one hill alone. Only eight were captured. Air strikes and artillery raked the enemy positions, but U.N. infantrymen finally had to scramble up the frozen hillsides and blast out the reds with grenades and rifle fire. The U.S. Eighth Army reported advances up to three miles along the 40-mile western front. PANNING CHAIRMAN RESIGNS—William Grafton, left, who was resigned as chairman of the Anaheim Planning Commission, receives the thanks and felicitations of Mayor Charles Pearson, right. Mr. Grafton said his official farewell Friday afternoon at a special meeting of the commission. Planner Joe Thompson will succeed as chairman. Pearson Praises Chairman Grafton for Service with Planning Group Chairman W. D. Grafton of the Anaheim City Planning Commission was congratulated Friday by Mayor Charles Pearson for his 25 years of service to the city. Chairman Grafton, presiding at a special meeting with all membership present, thanked each member for his fine spirit of cooperation during their many years of association. He mentioned E. P. Hapgood, E. Schumacher and Al Rutceel, especially, who have served with him for more than 15 years, Melauer and Ralph Summers, with approximately 10 years of service, and Joe Thompson who succeeds as chairman. In his remarks, Mayor Pearson reeled a short history of the Anaheim Planning commission. He said "it was first formed in February, 1927, and was the first planning commission in Orange county and the second in Southern California." "At that time," he said, "it was the practice to place one city councilman on the planning commission. 'Bill' Grafton was serving his second term on the City council when he was appointed to the Planning commission in January, 1929." Grafton has served continuously as a member and as chairman for the past nine years. The mayor commended him for his fine leadership during the past year when the commission completed the new zoning ordinance and map which is now ready for adoption by the council. The retiring chairman spoke of the early days of planning and recalled that when he was first appointed to the commission Mayor Pearson was the secretary. All members of the commission expressed regret that the chairman felt he should resign, but Jim Becker reported 130 reds were killed on one hill alone. Only eight were captured. Air strikes and artillery raked the enemy positions, but U.N. infantrymen finally had to scramble up the frozen hillsides and blast out the reds with grenades and rifle fire. The U.S. Eighth Army reported advances up to three miles along the 40-mile western front. In the area north of Suwon, 38 P-51 fighter-bombers dumped 8000 gallons of fiery napalm (jellied gasoline) in the heaviest Mustang mass attack of the war. Red troops and buildings were hit. Early estimates were that 100 reds were killed and 240 buildings destroyed or damaged. Maj. Thomas D. Robertson, of St. Paul, Minn., who led the attack, said: "There was over 30 miles of fire buring when we left." About four hours before describing the bitter hillsides battle, Becker filed a dispatch reporting an Allied advance of one mile, to a point eight miles north of Suwon. Becker said intelligence officers estimated that the entire 80th Chinese communist army and three North Korean divisions now were near the combat area, holding strong positions. At full strength these forces would total about 60,000 men, but losses are believed to have cut them considerably. "This is a delaying action with about one Chinese company to (Continues on page 2) Services Nix Vets, But Want Age Up WASHINGTON (F)—The House Armed Services committee today virtually killed the idea of drafting any veterans now, but reached out for single men up to age 28, two years above the present limit. At the same time pressure built up at the Capitol behind the idea of drafting childless married men in the present 10 through 25 age bracket, plus thousands of youths now classified 4-F, before any 18-year-olds are taken. But the military held out for the 18-year draft in preference to taking married men." year when the commission completed the new zoning ordinance and map which is now ready for adoption by the council. The retiring chairman spoke of the early days of planning and recalled that when he was first appointed to the commission Mayor Pearson was the secretary. All members of the commission expressed regret that the chairman felt he should resign, but were pleased that he would continue to serve as a member. New Chairman Thompson will preside at the next meeting of the planning commission Feb. 19. Planners OK Canning Factory In So. Anaheim County planners last Friday approved a canning plant for production of tomato paste and puree in the South Anaheim area. Permit for the Jalisco Fruit & Steamship co., to establish the plant in existing buildings on the east side of Lewis st., 600 feet south of Katella ave., was approved by the County Planning commission in its weekly session. The recommendation to the supervisors contained the condition that the firm comply with requirements of the county building and health departments. The commission also approved a permit for Delmer Johnson to establish a used furniture business at the northwest corner of Harbor blvd. and Ball rd. on the south side of Anaheim. At the same time pressure built up at the Capitol behind the idea of drafting childless married men in the present 19 through 25 age bracket, plus thousands of youths now classified 4-F, before any 18-year-olds are taken. But the military held out for the 18-year draft in preference to taking married men. Two Congressional committee hearings, one in the Senate and the other in the House, showed those trends in discussion of the Defense department's proposal to draft at 18 instead of the present 19 years, hold the men for 27 instead of the present 21 months, and work the program into permanent universal military service and training (UMST). Resumption of the hearings followed a proposal from Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo) to enlist 1,000,000 western Europeans in the U.S. Army. This foreign legion should remove all military demands for drafting our 18-year-old boys." Johnson told a reporter, "It also should solve some of our domestic manpower shortages and international difficulties." Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the House committee directed Assistant Defense Secretary Anna Rosenberg to give any reasons the department might have against taking men up to their 28th birthday. With regard to men with prior service, Vinson told newsmen after Mrs. Rosenberg's testimony: "This committee is not going to draft any veterans now, but reached out for single men up to age 28, two years above the present limit."
