Gazette Photog Finds No. Calif. Living Cheaper
Relatives and friends visiting GI's in Fort Ord can take advantage of unique housing arrangements—unique for Army posts, that is.
Mr. and Mrs. Myles Bradley, who returned Tuesday from a weekend trip to Monterey, where they visited Bradley's sister and brother-in-law, Capt. and Mrs. John Stamm, report that guests on the post may take advantage of housing in the post's guesthouse for a very nominal sum and also may take their meals there, also at a nominal sum.
Bradley, chief photographer for the Gazette, said visitors may get three days of accommodations at the post if a GI relative will apply to his commanding officer for reservations. Cost per day does not exceed 50 cents.
Capt. Stamm, post adjutant at Fort Ord, told Bradley that visitors' stays may be extended after each three-day period on request of a GI relative, provided there is room, of course.
The Bradleys left Anaheim Friday afternoon for Monterey and returned Monday night.

WASHINGTON (P)—Secretary of Defense Marshall said today the United States intends to send 100,000 additional Army troops—including 72,000 men in four combat divisions—to serve with the combined Allied armies for the defense of Western Europe.

Council, Planners To Consider New Robertshaw Plant
Anaheim city council will meet tonight at 8 o'clock and the Planning commission will meet at 8:30. Both bodies will consider action concerning the new Robertshaw Fulton plant under construction at Manchester blvd., and Euclid st.
City councilmen will act on a petition for annexation presented by the owners of the property, Tarber Montgomery and his two sisters of Santa Ana. If the proposed annexation is approved, the Planning Commission will act on a petition to re-zone the property from residential classification to manufacturing.
The land has already been cleared and construction forms for the foundation for the building are in. News of the new firm at the west gate of Anaheim was released by the local Chamber of Commerce early this week.
Hinze Relates Record RR Run
Casey Jones wasn't the only engineer to make a record run. Robert Hinze, Santa Fe agent at Fullerton, told of a record run from California to Chicago made by the Santa Fe railroad.
Today's breakfast was the send-off for the first two-week phase of the campaign. By March 1, it is hoped that contributions from business and industrial concerns will be collected, as well as special gifts. Barney Jordan is in charge of business solicitation; Gene Steck, industrial concerns and Bob Mungall, special gifts.
Nickle opened the meeting following breakfast by reading a letter from David Sarnoff, RCA Corporation president and chairman of the national fund drive, in which Sarnoff explained the need for increased contributions this year. He said expansion of the armed forces, increased need of blood for civil defense and the armed forces, and a stepped-up program of training for volunteer workers has greatly increased the financial needs of the national Red Cross.
Miss Ruth Young, area representative of the national organization during the fund campaign, spoke on the value of Red Cross services. She pointed out that volunteer workers being trained now will be doubly important during times of emergency or war since they will be used to working carefully and efficiently under supervision of professional workers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of Defense Marshall said today the United States intends to send 100,000 additional Army troops—including 72,000 men in four combat divisions—to serve with the combined Allied armies for the defense of Western Europe.
This would triple Army combat troops there and raise to around 197,000 the number of U.S. ground forces in Europe. American manpower in air and sea units might lift the total in the area to around 250,000. There are now around 20,000 airmen and 10,000 Navy men in Europe and the Mediterranean. Some expansion is contemplated.
As to how long they might remain there, Marshall was not specific. But he indicated at one point it might be necessary to keep U.S. troops in Europe for 10 years. This came when he said the period of international tension might last for as long as a decade. He also said a lessening of tension might make it possible to withdraw one division.
Marshall told the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees of the plans to send over the four additional Army divisions. He said he did it "reluctantly" but in belief it was better than to have a debate over uncertainties.
Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) asked how soon the additional troops would be sent to Europe. Marshall said he preferred not to say and Sparkman withdrew the question.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Truman said at a news conference today he does not intend to replace Ingraham Stainback as governor of Hawaii.
Hinze Relates Record RR Run
Casey Jones wasn't the only engineer to make a record run. Robert Hinze, Santa Fe agent at Fullerton, told of a record run from California to Chicago made by the Santa Fe railroad for Death Valley Scotty.
Scotty paid the railroad $4000 for the trip and the record was maintained for over 30 years. Hinze knows, he was fireman on that train.
Hinze was guest speaker at the Anaheim Farm Center meeting Tuesday evening at the AUHS cafeteria. Vice-president, Claude Slack, acted as program chairman and introduced George Kellogg, vice-president of the Orange county Farm Bureau, who spoke about his recent trip to Dallas, Texas, to attend a National Farm Bureau convention.
Home department meeting report was given by Miss Wanda Bose. Meeting is to be held Tuesday, Feb. 27, 10 a.m., at the home of Mrs. R. C. Hein, 925 W. Center st. Mrs. Marian Prentiss will demonstrate the care and cleaning of rugs and furniture at this meeting.

Frozen Woman Amputations Not Likely Now
CHICAGO (P)—Mrs. Dorothy Stevens, Chicago's frozen woman, will not have to undergo any major amputations, physicians at Michael Reese hospital have told her.

WASHINGTON (P)—The prospect of any "quickie" tax increase this spring has vanished.
Republicans said a decision the House Ways and Money committee reached late yesterday also doomed President Trump's proposal for a two-package approach to raising the $160,500,000 he asked to meet mounting military costs.
Chairman Doughton (D-NC) announced, after an hour-long closed session of the committee that its current tax hearings will cover all revenue raising suggestions made by Secretary of the Treasury Snyder, and any other proposals that members of the committee desire to bring up.
Only after those hearings are completed, he said, will the committee decide whether to proceed

Murder Charge Formally Filed
Formal murder charge was filed this afternoon in Santa Ana Justice court against Mrs. Cordelia Green, 23, young Costa Mesa mother who is alleged to have caused the death of her four-months old daughter, Patricia Ann, by beating the child's head and face with her fists.
District Attorney James L. Davis said that Mrs. Green's arrestment probably will not take place until tomorrow morning. Meanwhile she is being held in the county jail without bail.
The woman is said to have made a statement to the sheriff's office admitting she beat the child because she could not stand hearing it cry.
Students in Anaheim high school typing classes today completed the task of addressing 7500 envelopes—their share of helping get the second annual Easter Seals sales campaign under way.
The campaign sponsored by the Orange County Society for Crippled Children and Adults will open Feb. 25 when seals will be mailed out to 60,000 residents in the county.
High schools and junior colleges of the county cooperated to handle the job of addressing the envelopes, saving the society hundreds of dollars. Mrs. Carl Opp of Orange, seal sales chairman, said.
Typing instructors of the classes that participated said it provided 'good practice,' and students showed an interest in the project.
This year's sale of Easter Seals will be the second conducted in Orange County. The society to aid all types of crippled children and adults, including cerebral palsy cases, was organized late in 1949 and held its first sales campaign last year.
With the funds it raised last year the county society has employed two trained occupational therapists. One makes regular visits to homebound cases, while the other is in charge of daily classes at the crafts and recreation center which opened last months at 9092 Garden Grove boulevard, Garden Grove.
Anaheim Junior Ebell Club women assisted in "stuffing" envelopes.
