Dollar Days Homemakers; Anaheim merchants are offering you a golden opportunity to stretch that dollar. They are putting on a great sales event Friday and Saturday. Read the Dollar Days news in the Gazette. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Car Hits Pole; Phones, Power Off in County A power and telephone service failure at 2:10 a.m. today was caused when a car driven by Edmond Anderson, 32, 3521 E. First st., Long Beach, collided with an Edison pole at the deadend where Los Alamitos ave., meets Garden Grove Blvd. Circuits Cut Toll circuits from Long Beach to San Bernardino, Riverside, and Santa Ana were cut off when an 11,000 volt, three-phase line from the pole hit by Anderson fell across the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph line at the intersection. Fifty circuits were affected. L. S. Jenkins and Vernon Hilton, construction foremen on the job, estimated this morning that the lines would be back in service by noon today. Local Not Hit Local telephone service was not affected, and power service was (Continued on Page 5) Left-Wingers May Hit Anaheim Left-wing elements in the Anaheim area have been approached by their brethren in Los Angeles county on the possibility of staging a picket line and demonstration against the Elks, Minstrel show tomorrow night. This information came to the Gazette today from one of the persons approached. Orange county left-wingers, however, are believed to be reluctant to stage the demonstration because they are inclined to believe Anaheimers "might not understand the purpose of the picket lines." The "purpose" of such a demonstration, according to the left wingers, is to "protest against stereotyping the negro as a happy song and dance person—and thus holding him up to public ridicule." Experts on communism in Orange county, however, say the real purpose of the picket lines is a ruse to cause racial disunity by firing up minority groups—regardless of the soundness of the reason. By attacking traditional American mintreels, the left-wingers attempt to turn racial groups against each other and to cause disturbances which might invoke "police state" action to break them up. In addition, it is pointed out, the left-wingers are carrying on a campaign to belittle and ridicule the Elks organizations. Through anti-communist sources the Gazette Fifty circuits were affected. L. S. Jenkins and Vernon Hilton, construction foremen on the job, estimated this morning that the lines would be back in service by noon today.

Draft Boards Want 124 from County SACRAMENTO — The state Selective Service system called upon local draft boards today for Fulton Lewis, Jr., Expresses Doub About White Temple 'Adoption Fulton Lewis, Jr., Washington radio commentator w also writes a column appearing on the editorial page of t Draft Boards Want 124 from County SACRAMENTO — The state Selective Service system called upon local draft boards today for 5883 men to be inducted into the Armed Forces during February. To meet the induction call of 4989 men during March, meanwhile, Selective Service headquarters asked local boards for 15,000 more men to take pre-induction physicals during February. In the county induction calls, Orange county was asked for 124 men. The county calls for pre-induction physicals to provide men for the March quota called for 349 men from Orange county. Orange county is in the area of the Los Angeles Induction station. (Selective Service officials in Santa Ana said this morning they had just received their quota figures, but are unable to explain them further until they have had a chance to look them over more carefully.) Services Tomorrow Funeral services for George W. Osborn, whose death occurred Tuesday evening at his home, 203 S. Bush st., will be conducted at 10 a.m. Friday from the Hilgenfeld chapel. Fulton Lewis, Jr., Expresses Doubt About White Temple 'Adoption' Fulton Lewis, Jr., Washington radio commentator also writes a column appearing on the editorial page of the Los Angeles Examiner, today noted that the White Temple Methodist church of Anaheim has been instrumental bringing White Russian families to Southern California. The kicker of his story, however, is Lewis's opinion that "Nobody can quarrel with the motive of the church in wanting to succor the refugees. Nobody right now can quarrel with the 300 White Russians, or with most of the more than 2,000,000 already here. But, it does seem reasonable to take a careful look into their background and ask them a few political questions before giving them the run of the country." Lewis goes on to state that he has some qualms about the capabilities of the individuals set up by the United Nations to screen these people. The White Temple Methodist Church of Anaheim, and other church organizations, are co-operating to help the refugee families find new homes in this country. As far as the screening of these families goes that is in the hands of U. N. and United States officials. In his column, Lewis said: "With more than 2,000,000 Rus- States already in the United States, 300 more won't make overcrowded, but before we open the gates to the 300 let's go somebody besides the United Nations to look them over. The U. N. is so loaded with Soviet love that most of the 300 could wipe cousins of these creeps, we are White Russians until they get into port, where they might suddenly turn red." Local church official: The morning expressed considerable surprise at the words. One them said "We will have to work harder than ever now to stop this unwarranted suspicion these unfortunate folks." ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1951 Day Hit Anaheim Elk Show is informed that the left-wingers approached in the Anaheim area and asked to throw a picket line around the Elks Minstrels have shied away from the project and say they will do so only "if ordered to do it." They prefer instead, it is pointed out, that demonstrators be imported from Los Angeles county if it is the desire of the high command to cause a disturbance of any kind in Orange county. A reason given for this is that lack of racial tension in the Anaheim area might cause "the point of the campaign to be lost." Local left-wingers feel it is undesirable to expose themselves by staging a picket line, but are not averse to having it done by persons from Los Angeles county. In Santa Monica recently the Civil Rights Congress and members of the Independent Progressive party attempted to stop the Elks from putting on a minstrel show similar to the one to be shown in Anaheim. One of the spokesmen of the protesting groups said "the minstrel show was originated by white slaveholders as a way of perpetuating the idea of so-called negro inferiority." The groups began a letter and telephone barrage in order to high-pressure the Elks into cancelling the show. They did not cancel. In Oakland, more than 150 pickets marched in front of an Elks Minstrel in protest against "the dialectic Jokes." Allied Advance Counterattacks Largest Progress By Turkish Troops INTERNATIONAL AT GLANCE By The Associated Press KOREAN FIGHTING FRONT—Advancing U.N. forces run into battle-screaming counterattack by 300 North Korean reds at central and western front juncture, but Allied limited offense pushes ahead up to two and one-half miles northeast of Suwon.

TOKYO (AP)—Allied forces in bitter hand-to-hand fighting crunched ahead as much as three miles today in Western Korea, but a French-American combat team was trapped by superior Chinese forces in another sector of the warfront. There were increasing signs that the eight-day-old United Nations limited offensive had slammed into the main red defense line south of the Han river. The Han flows along the southeastern outskirts of Seoul. A Tenth Corps spokesman said the encircled regiment had been (Continued on Page 6) Eisenhower Says That Europeans Have 'The Spirit' WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today Western Europe has "the spirit to resist" any Russian aggression and declared the United States must help build the necessary defense forces. As to whether that job can be done, Eisenhower was supremely confident in an address to an informal joint meeting of the Senate and House in the Library of Congress auditorium. He called on the lawmakers to have faith in America in this "decade of decision" and in the leadership this country can provide. He said this, in turn, will inspire the same kind of leadership among "our friends abroad." Eisenhower asked this question: "Why then are we frightened of dictatorial governments?" He said the one thing such governments have is unity of purpose, but it is "enforced by a gun in the kidneys."

A mass meeting at 7:30 in the Orangethorpe school will follow the test of the air raid warning signal and Barrows urged all residents of the district to listen for the signal and then report its effectiveness at the ensuing mass meeting.

WHITE Gazette Home Economist Are dollar days worth while? As an Anaheim housewife who does most of the family shopping, what is in it for me? These are the questions that came to my mind when I heard that the Retail division of the Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the semi-annual dollar days in Anaheim on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 2 and 3. Semi-annual. Let’s see — that means twice a year. The last Dollar Days were back in August when I bought the chenille spread at half price, first quality nylons for mere pin money, and covered my dining room chairs for practically nothing. I was well pleased with the whole thing, but with the world situation as it is right now, I’ll bet Anaheim merchants won’t go all-out like that again. Or will they? Since I have been writing my column in the Anaheim Gazette, I have found that in this town of friendly people, information is just as near as the telephone. In less time than it takes to tell, I was talking with Walter Swanberger, popular clothing store owner and chairman of the group which is sponsoring Dollar Days. Said Mr. Swanberger, "Dollar Days will mean greater savings to the shopper this year than ever before. More retailers are co-operating and in the face of this year’s higher prices, the markdowns will be greater. This merchandise was bought at last year’s lower prices and cannot be replaced at anywhere near those figures. I am right in the midst of sorting out sale merchandise from my regular stock." Well, I can take a hint and so hung up before I got a chance to ask how come Dollar Days are still on the agenda if times are so tough for everyone — especially the retailer.
