VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEL Council Denies Real Estate Variance in Residence Zone A variance to permit operation of a real estate office at 703 N. Lemon st. was denied Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Halley last night by Anaheim city council. Listening to the contention of neighboring residents that the variance would be an "opening wedge" for more business enterprises in the area which consists mostly of rooming houses and apartments, councilmen decided that they would be granting the Halleys "privileges not enjoyed by other residents in the area" and turned down the application. Mrs. Halley had requested the variance so her husband, who is suffering from a heart ailment, wouldn't have to go downtown to work. A 12-by-12 inch sign was to have been the only indication that the Halley home was a real estate office. Warrants totaling $327,827 for the Magnolia ave. trunk sewer were approved by the council. A bill for $34 in mileage expenses submitted by Bert Ellis, JOS employee, was given, the close scrutiny treatment, however. The council inquired why Ellis had to make four round trips to Santa Ana on several of the nine days covered by the mileage bill.

That is, if you are in the so-called lower brackets. If you are among those fortunate few whose income exceeds $25,000 annually, the odds are even that federal agents will examine your return. Internal Revenue bureau policies with respect to checking returns were disclosed to the House Appropriations committee during hearings on the 1952 Treasury Appropriation bill.

It cannot become a full-fledged law until 30 days after it has been published in a newspaper of general circulation, but the setting of the ordinance in type and reading proof on it is taking so long that the councilmen feel it will be violated before it can become valid. The ordinance is so long that it will take three to four newspaper pages of eight columns, 20 inches long, to contain it and the maps which must be published with it. The council adopted a resolution that any current land use developments will have to follow the new ordinance.

Internal Revenue bureau policies with respect to checking returns were disclosed to the House Appropriations committee during hearings on the 1952 Treasury Appropriation bill. The committee made them public today. Here's what bureau officials said: On returns of from $7000 to $10,000, examinations are made of 8.80 per cent; from $10,000 to $25,000, its 17.2 per cent; and from $25,000 to $100,000, the percentage is 58.1; on $100,000 and over, 85.4 per cent are examined. Those are figures on checks of 1948 returns. On returns of $25,000 and over, the examinations have disclosed that 7 out of every 10 have been in error; so, starting this year, every return in the big-bracket group will be audited once every two years. All returns, regardless of size, are "scanned" for mathematical errors. All in all, said G. J. Schoeneman, head of th Internal Revenue Bureau, at least 95 per cent of American taxpayers are honest and "will discharge their obligations if they know what they are." He added, "The errors they make are not dishonest errors." State Income Tax Advice Offered A California State Income Tax examiner will be at the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce office at 136 N.

The supervisors, with third district member, R. J. McFadden, Placentia, absent, expressed objection particularly to mandatory features of the measures as "dangerous." However, they took no formal action on the bills. The companion bills, AB 3217 and SB 769, provide that any group of 25 taxpayers may petition the board of supervisors of any city council to have so called urban unincorporated areas so designated legally. Upon receipt of such petition, the supervisors or the city council receiving it, must file petition with Superior Court requesting the establishment of all urban unincorporated areas in the county. The court would determine boundaries of such districts. When such court findings were filed the urban districts would be legally established and under provisions of the measures after March 1, 1953, the supervisors Nation at Glance Costello Reveals Wealth at 50 Gs NEW YORK (P) — Threatened with perjury if he didn't answer, Gambler Frank Costello today told Senate crime probers he has about $40,000 to $50,000 in his strongbox at home. The perjury threat came after Committee Counsel Rudolph Halley pounded Costello with a series of questions about any money cached in his home. After the suave gambler gave several hedging answers about the amount, Sen. O'Connor interrupted: "I am going to give you an opportunity to change the record. The testimony was palpably false and it's an insult to the intelligence of the committee to have it Community Chest Fixes Starting Sept. 1 and 15 were set as the opening dates for this year's Community Chest drive when the board met last night in the Chamber of Commerce office. The first date was that established for advance gifts and business and industrial contributions while the middle-of-the-month date was named for the opening of the general drive. At the same time, the board released the information that it had set July 1 as the deadline for all organizational budgets to be submitted to the budget committee. Although much time was spent on discussion of the topic, no drive chairman was named last night by the board, although the committee selected to pick one—Joe Sowder, John Shea, and Mrs. William Bushman — did reveal that they had settled already on a co-chairman.

OKYO (UP) — Five South Korean patrols entered Seoul tonight and raised the republican flag over the old Captol building. The Eighth Army said they met no opposition. "They will stay there if they can," an Eighth Army spokesman said. Communist forces for the past three days have been reported mysteriously withdrawing all along 70 miles of the Korean front. If the Allies stay in Seoul, this will be the fourth time the old South Korean capital has changed hands since the Korean reds stormed across the border last June. The Eighth Army said patrols of the ROK First Division raised the flag Wednesday afternoon. However, a dispatch from AP correspondent Jim Becker said the west gate was not reached until 7 p.m. (2 a.m., PST). The Capitol building is in the northern section of the city. "I am very happy to be entering Seoul again," said Gen. Paik Sun Yup, commander of the ROK division. Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's Eighth Army headquarters said there would be a lapse of several hours before it would be possible to release more information on the Seoul situation. U.

These forces already were northeast of the city. Elsewhere the reds Wednesday fought rear-guard delaying actions on the east-central front but continued their mysterious withdrawal in other sectors. Millions Terrified as Europe Heels from Quake-like Shock LONDON (AP)—Millions of perish in northern Europe were terred today by a violent shudder of the earth's crust which thought might have been caused by an atomic-sized explosion inside Eastern Germany. The tremor, one of the severest recorded in Germany, was felt in some sections there by a blast of wind. The shock wind rattled windows, shook on war ruins, and tossed pieces off the walls of many homes. Extensive damage was reported. Mismologists speculated that epicenter was either in the central mountains of West Germany or Thuringia, in the eastern part of Soviet occupied Germany. Terrestrial convulsion, which led from five to six seconds with 'echoes' of 15 minutes duration, was felt in varying degrees in a wide arc including Belgium, Holland, Northern and Eastern France, Denmark and Sweden. Besides the earthquake, tempestuous gales and heavy rains combined to give Europe one of her wildest 24 hours of the winter. In New York the Rev. Joseph Lynch, director of the Fordham university observatory, said the estimated location of the center definitely indicated an earthquake of the "resettlement" pattern common to certain areas. The shock was felt as heavy seas pounded the European continent, accompanied by fierce gales which tied up shipping and inflicted widespread damage.
