It was disclosed Monday evening when directors of the Associated Chamber of Commerce of Orange county approved the project outlined by its industrial committee. Stephenson Lists Dos-Don'ts For Handling Panhandlers Stephenson Lists Dos-Don’ts For Handling Panhandlers In response to reports of repeated cases of panhandling in Anaheim in the past two days, Police Chief Mark A. Stephenson today released some "do's" and don'ts about panhandlers for the benefit of Anaheim residents. "If a panhandler asks you for money, it's a good bet that he'll spend it for wine," the chief said. "On the other hand, if he asks for food at your door, don't give it to him—he may be casing your house for a burglary job that night." Not Inside "Under no circumstances should a housewife let a bum inside the house. If he becomes insistent or abusive, the only thing to do is to report it to the police station," he continued. "Generally speaking, a good rule to follow is to report any case of panhandling to the police. If they're down-and-out and really want help, we'll be only too glad to help them. However, if they're just bums, we have ways of handling them, too." Chief Stephenson warned particularly against panhandlers who don't look the part. Watch Sharples “If a Dapper Dan approaches you, particularly in residential districts, distrust h.m. and report it immediately,” he said. “A guy who can afford decent clothes isn't bumming out of necessity.” Genuine down-and-outers who really need help usually ask for it at the police station, according to Stephenson, and are well treated. Those who won't ask the police for help have something to hide and will usually sneak around residential areas bumming money or food, he said. Real Case He recounted the case of one man who couldn't afford to rent a sleeping room until his paycheck for smudging came through, "He asked us for permission to sleep in the city jail until he could afford a room. We gave him permission and when his check came through he rented a room; took a bath, came back to thank us, and we never saw him again. We're always willing to help a man like that, who really wants to help himself." NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1951 Communists Hurl Tank Calls Starting Out to First Part Of Air Force Volunteer Reserves WASHINGTON (UP)—Active duty calls are starting to go out to the first of nearly 80,000 volunteer reservists included in the Air Force manpower program announced Jan. 18. The build up program will involve about 150,000 Air Force reserves, both organized and volunteer, and Air National Guardsmen. AEC 'Satisfied' With Nevada Show, Quits for a While LAS VEGAS, Nev. UP—On the heels of a window-smashing fifth blast at the atomic testing grounds near here today, the AEC announced it is "completely satisfied" with the results and is concluding its experiments for the time being. Carroll L. Tyler, manager of the operation, said in a statement that other tests will be conducted. The announced Air Force policy is to exhaust the organized reserve first, but air headquarters has repeatedly said volunteer reservists will be needed not only to meet the revised Air Force strength of 971,000 but also to fill assignments which cannot be handled by Guard and Organized Reserve Airmen. Current calls will include a major portion of the 60,000 volunteer Reserve enlisted airmen and about 20,000 of the 240,000 volunteers. Auto Club Office Sets Record for License Issuance The Anaheim office of the Automobile club of Southern California, 132 N.

(See Story on Page 5) Anaheimers See A-Bomb Flashes Few people have been able to rouse themselves in Anaheim in time to see the flashes of light caused by the A-bomb explosions and sworn to by the early-risers. But today there are witnesses on hand. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Trabert of 1242 S. Ross st., Santa Ana, and owners of the Pickwick Hotel and cafe in Anaheim, were driving to work this morning around 5:45 a.m. "We had stopped at the intersection at Flower st., and Santa Clara. It was very foggy, hard to see even the white line. The car began to shake and a bright blue flash of light lit up the sky for an instant." The Traberts said they knew immediately that it was the highly publicized A-bomb explosion and Mrs. Trabert said, "It was a creepy feeling up your back, a danger feeling." Howling Weekend Convinces Paper About New Policy Last week-end nine drunks were picked up in Anaheim in two days by police. Of the nine, eight were booked for driving while drunk. Following a long-standing policy, the Gazette withheld the stories from publication. Convinces Paper About New Policy Last week-end nine drunks were picked up in Anaheim in two days by police. Of the nine, eight were booked for driving while drunk. Following a long-standing policy, the Gazette withheld the stories from publication for fear of adverse effects on children of the offenders and embarrassment to innocent members of their families. However, the arrests of Saturday and Sunday for driving while drunk exceeded the number of similar arrests for the whole month of January. The Gazette feels that the situation has reached the point where, in the interests of public safety, the feelings of children and other relatives of drunken drivers may have to be sacrificed. If the trend continues upward, names and addresses of those arrested for drunk driving will be released in the news columns of the Gazette. Three-Car Crash James Duffy, 23, El Toro Marine, received major injuries at 5:10 p.m., Monday when crushed against his stalled car by a car operated by Nick Oprian, 30, Santa Ana, civilian employee at the Marine base tailor shop. Oprian's car was propelled against Duffy when struck from the rear by a car driven by Edward Duke, 22, another Marine, residing at 1948 Fullerton ave, Costa Mesa, according to a California highway patrol report. If Army Tanks Ever Run On It—Goodbye! LOS ANGELES (P) — First it was potatoes, scattered over the lawn when a truck overturned. Then it was hay, in a similar accident. Twice cars overturned and burned in front of the house. A careening car struck the front porch, and hardly had repairs been made when another automobile sheered the same porch off completely. Then destruction invaded the house itself. An automobile crashed through the wall of Mrs. Cipriano Contreras' bedroom early yesterday, wrecking the bed on which she slept. Mrs. Contreras went to the hospital with multiple injuries of the back and ribs. Her home lies just beyond a curve on a speedway. Congress Studies Of $6 Billion 'S' WASHINGTON (P) — Congress today studied a rough Treasury outline of what may be involved in a $6,500,000,000 "second bit" follow-up to an initial $10,155,000,000 in new taxes the administration wants this year. Secretary of the Treasury Snider, in advocating a two-phaser approach toward raising the $16,500,000,000 in new revenues President Truman has asked to balance the budget; gave details on one on the first phase. He suggested heavy increases in individual and corporate income taxes; along with sharp boosted excise and capital gains taxes, as the way to raise the first $10,155,000,000. What Congress would do about even the first bill remained uncertain. While it had been known how much revenue the admin CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY Weather S.

I Tanks Into Battle Resistance Stiffens as Chinese Celebrate Coming of New Year TOKYO (JP)—Allied tank columns chewed into the main red defense lines south of Parallel 38 today and ground ahead against Chinese resistance that stiffened with the dawn of their lunar new year. United Nations air, naval and artillery barrages paved a fiery path for the attacks. Allied foot soldiers slogging behind the tanks wiped out nests of reds. The Chinese threw tanks into the battle for the first time in this phase of the Korean war. They rushed the reinforcements south from Seoul over a plank bridge spanning the Han River. There were indications that this was the big effort to salute the outset of the new "year of the rabbit." On the western front a daylong battle raged northwest and northeast of Anyang, a town nearly nine miles south of Seoul.

West's court in Santa Ana. this phase of the Korean war. They rushed the reinforcements south from Seoul over a plank bridge spanning the Han River. There were indications that this was the big effort to salute the outset of the new "year of the rabbit." On the western front a daylong battle raged northwest and northeast of Anyang, a town nearly nine miles south of Seoul. On-the-central front, American troops blasted a hole through a red battalion on the Hoengsong-Hongchen road. Then South Korean regulars rolled through a gap to a point only 25 miles from the old Parallel 38 border. This was the northernmost thrust of Allied forces since they regained the offensive in Korea 13 days ago. The Americans locked in battle with an estimated 1000 reds at midafternoon Tuesday on the northern outskirts of Changbong. This is a village 52 air miles due east of Seoul.

West's court in Santa Ana. Public Defender N. D. Meyer, representing Weathers, said in a statement to the jury that Weathers claims he did not know the plane was being stolen when he and a 17-year-old companion took it from the airport on the night of last Nov. 20, only to make a crash landing a few minutes later when the plane ran out of gas. He thought his companion had a right to take the plane, which belonged to William S. Rainbolt, Fullerton service station operator and a member of the county grand jury.

Congress Studies Snyder Outline $6 Billion 'Second Bite' Tax WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress studied a rough Treasury of what may be involved in new taxes the administration wants this year. Theetary of the Treasury Snyder advocating a two-phase approach raising the $16,000 in new revenues President Truman has asked to balance the budget, gave details only first phase. Suggested heavy increases individual and corporate income taxes, along with sharply excise and capital gains taxa the way to raise the $10,155,000,000. Congress would do about the first bill remained unchanged. While it had been known much revenue the administration would seek, there was something of a shock in seeing the details spelled out in black and white. The proposals Snyder outlined call for about one-fifth more income taxes from the little fellow, along with stiff hikes in the excise taxes on such things as new automobiles, liquor, beer, cigarettes, radios, refrigerators, and many other consumer items. Most lawmakers were inclined to agree with Snyder's appraisal of the program: "rather rugged." Snyder was unwilling to give the House Ways and Means committee much detail yesterday on how the Treasury proposes to raise the additional $6,500,000,000. Many legislators have advocated that the new revenue be raised in one bill, rather than two. Approval Asked For $2500 Claim Approval of a $2500 damage claim settlement in favor of Vincent George Probst, Jr., 7, of 622 S. Pine St., Anaheim, was requested in Superior Court today by the boy's father. Vincent sustained a fracture of the right thigh Dec. 10, in a Los Angeles traffic accident. The $2500 settlement was offered by Nandor Ratkoczky of Los Angeles. The court was requested to allow an additional $803.04 for hospital and medical bills; $450 to the boy's mother for nursing services and also to determine the amount to be allowed for attorney's fees.
