Agreement Unless it is intelligently settled, the "annexation battle" between Fullerton and Anaheim could keep the two cities at "sword's points" for years. Something must be done. Please see Page 2. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM. O Santa Ana Police on Prowl For Six Youthful Invaders Six youths who invaded a home at 2209 S. Olive st. Santa Ana, last evening and mauled two young girls in an apparent attempt at criminal assault were sought today by Santa Ana police who had a detailed description and finger prints of the chief assailant. Shirley Fugatt, who was baby sitting with her younger brother and sister, had invited her girl friend, Pitti Miller, and two boy friends to spend the evening with her. One of the boys had gone out to get "cokes" when the half dozen older youths parked their car outside and boldly entered the house. A neighbor, Alex Canela, was aroused by their noise and heard one say, "Let's rape the girl." Canela went for help to another neighbor, Andrew A. Banks. Inside the Fugatt home, the six youths chased the boy from the house and one of them, wearing a maroon sweater with white stripe on the sleeve and a school letter, seized Shirley and dragged her toward a bedroom. She bit his hand, whereupon he slapped her, pulled her hair, rip- Florence Carroll, Bob Richards Head VFW and Auxiliary VFW Post and Auxiliary held a joint installation last night at the IOOF hall in the presence of 125 members and guests.

Anaheim Business to Aid Scouts In Construction of Ship 280 Anaheim Sea Scout Ship 280 will float proudly on the ocean wave—and soon—if the big guns of Anaheim's industry and business fraternity have their way. And they intend to have their way! Parts, equipment, labor and technical advice in huge amounts have been donated by local business and industrial firms and, by individuals to get the Ship's 36-foot, snub-nosed, PCL landing-craft type boat on the launching ways. This month has been set as the goal for launching. Latest local firm to come up with an idea for aiding the Sea Scouters is K and L Super Service station at 558 S. Los Angeles st. George E. LaFollette and Harvey E. Keel, owners, will donate the proceeds from next Tuesday's operation of their 5-minute auto laundry to the Sea Scout ship through its sponsors, Anaheim Lions and Rotary clubs. "We don't operate the right sort of business to allow us to contribute parts, so we figure using our equipment for the benefit of the Sea Scouts for a day will E SCOUTS—Ernie Owston, left, commissioner for Anaheim Sea Scout Ship 280, Bill water, skipper of the ship, and George E.

Walnut and Carole Dawson, 709 Pythias st., Anaheim, in a grove on the west side of Anaheim. The girls had gone into the grove to look at the birds in their aviary and found the bag. They reported to police who discovered that the bag belonged to a Dr. Fernandez of La Habra. Under the leadership of Skipper W. B. Burr and Mates Ben Stakemiller and Bill Smith, the seaman of Ship 280 have been working on the hull of their ship in the yard of the Industrial Chemical plant in North Anaheim for the past eight months. Twenty boys are registered as members of the ship, according to Ernie Owston, chairman of the Iions-Rotary combined commission for sponsorship of the ship. Don't think the boys are letting the townspeople pay for everything for the boat," Owston said. "Last year they earned $800, all of which went into the boat or other activities of the organization. The bulk of the $800 was made through the sale of fireworks and Christmas trees." Other Anaheim firms which have contributed to the cause are Lund and Sons, Heath and Owston, U. S. Industrial Chemical Co., Ashley Glass co., Martenet Hardware, Red Jacket Water Service Products, distributors, Pressel, Perry and Pressel Hardware, Ganahl Lumber Co., Gibbs Lumber Co., Patten-Blinn Lum- ETTE 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month NUMBER 112 Quick Withdrawal Resistance Ranges from Stiff To None in New 'No-Man's-Land' INTERNATIONAL AT A GLANCE By The Associated Press KOREAN FRONT—United Nations troops throw back several Chinese counterattacks hammering out steady gains inside red Korea on 40-mile central-west front.

W. Hull, Jr., Santa Ana utilities executive and George E. Kellogg, Yorba Linda rancher and civic leader. Mrs. Mary Topper of Newport Beach, chairman of the associated civic beautification committee, part of the planning and development committee, of which Mrs. Lella Eastman Baeskens of Orange is chairman, announced Fullerton Rankled Over Industry Loss The industry derby apparently has another entry—Fullerton. Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange, and Fullerton now seem to be leading competitors to lure to their prospective cities the industrial units which are locating in Southern California. This week Orange entered the fray when its city council decided to help a cotton mill locate in Orange. A couple of days later the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce decided to take action on a resolution of its Merchant division which noted that "industry" was leaving Fullerton. The industry in question was the Daystrom corp. which is constructing a plant in Anaheim. The Fullerton chamber is reported to be seriously concerned over the matter and has referred the resolution to its industrial committee with instructions to arrange further meetings with the merchants and with the city council to draw up plans to rectify this condition. Marine Claims 'Gangster' Car Police in Santa Ana at first thought it might be an abandoned gangster getaway car, because there were six bullet holes in its left side when they found it yesterday on S. McClay st. Besides, license plates of two mid-west states, Iowa and Minnesota, were bolted to the floor under the floor mat in front of the driver's seat. But today the car was claimed by Corp. Robert F. Schichel, of El Toro Marine base, who told police the car had "quit on him" two days ago. Corp. Schichel showed amazement at the bullet holes. There had been none in the car when he was forced to leave it along the street, he declared. Other witnesses, who had seen the abandoned car, verified that point Police concluded that idle marksmans had used the abandoned car.
