MacArthur Today, on an historic occasion, Gen. MacArthur rode down Pennsylvania ave. in Washington. He made history of a different sort 20 years ago on Pennsylvania ave. See Merry-Go-Round, Page 4. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM. Board Asks for Rejection Of JOS 39-Inch Clay Pipe Rejection of all 89-inch vitrified clay pipe stored along the trench side in Section 3 of the Magnolia Trunk Sewer was recommended this morning by the Engineering Advisory committee of the Joint Outfall Sewer, consisting of Anaheim City Engineer George Holyoke, Nat Neff, chief engineer for the Magnolia construction, and A. H. Kcebig, Los Angeles engineer. Their recommendation came after weeks of testing of the clay pipe by Osborne Laboratories and Dames and Moore, engineers, which began when hair-line failures were detected in the pipe. Rejected pipes, all of which came from the Gladding-McBean Co. of Fresno, will be used if found acceptable upon visual inspection by Neff, the report recommended. Clay pipe supplied by Pacific Clay Products Co., which has already been lain, will not be tested until the backfill has been jet-settled. If it is found wanting it may be removed and replaced. A report on pipe already laid is expected within about 30 days, according to Holyoke. Rejected pipe OK'd by Neff will be installed only if the contractor may be installed, subject to Neff's approval, if it is completely encased in concrete extending six inches above and below the pipe and to the trench side with a minimum thickness of four inches at the joining bells. This is to be done at the contractor's expense. All pipe laid in the future, whether rejected or not, is to be laid on a rock-fill mattress, to be paid for by the JOS cities and districts. The contractor will bear the expense of the extra excavation. The engineers' report recommended unofficial tests by kilns at the manufacturing plant plus official tests after delivery to the trench of at least one joint in fifty. Holyoke explained that, in effect, the JOS buys the pipe only after installation. US Regimentation Threat -- M'Arthur WASHINGTON (P) — General Douglas MacArthur said today that "internal subversion and corruption" and "detailed regimentation" threaten the country no less than in George Washington's day. In a brief address before the Daughters of the American Revolution, MacArthur said: "The complexities and confusion and the detailed regimentation over our daily lives threaten our country today no less than in Washington's day." Asserting the nation had drifted towards this regimentation he added: "It behooves this distinguished society to assert a dynamic leadership in checking this drift and regaining the ground which we have lost." The approximately 4000 delegates applauded MacArthur frequently. He addressed them after his speech to Congress and an official welcoming ceremony. His next appearance was to be at the annual meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Tonight, at 5 p.m., (PST), MacArthur reported on the report recommended by Neff, the report recommended. Clay pipe supplied by Pacific Clay Products Co., which has already been lain, will not be tested until the backfill has been jet-settled. If it is found wanting it may be removed and replaced. A report on pipe already laid is expected within about 30 days, according to Holyoke. Rejected pipe OK'd by Neff will be installed only if the contractor "agrees to place, at his expense, a concrete cradle to a depth of three-fourths the diameter of the pipe around all said pipe and to the trench side; or in lieu of the concrete cradle will agree to remove and replace all lengths that crack after installation," the report stated. Sections of the rejected pipe which show minor surface defects Long Silence from Channel Bed Cuts Most Hope for Affray Rescue PORTSMOUTH (P)—Long silence from the bottom of the English Channel cut all practical hope today for the rescue of 75 men entombed in the lost British submarine Affray. The British Admiralty said this morning that it had received no reports to justify hopes that the men aboard the sunken sub might still be found alive. Admiralty experts said the submarine's oxygen supply had been enough for only 48 hours—a deadline that was passed at 8:15 p.m. Greenwich time (3:15 p.m. EST) yesterday. It was exactly two days earlier that the big submarine dived on maneuvers and mysteriously settled to the bottom in some 200 feet of water. But the Admiralty said the hunt would go on. An armada of 34 ships prowled over the Channel surface this morning, searching for some sign that would pinpoint just where the Affray lay. The search has been extended to the sea bed itself where the Admiralty said it was sweeping the bottom with a dragnet of chains, wires and nets. But there was no indication where any rescue operations should begin. Faint underwater telegraphic tappings heard yesterday have not been received since. The Admiralty said, however, it was confident the search was being concentrated in the right spot — southwest of the Isle of Wight, 40 to 50 miles from Portsmouth. The Affray sent a signal from there Monday night to report it was about to make a practice whether rejected or not, is to be laid on a rock-fill mattress, to be paid for by the JOS cities and districts. The contractor will bear the expense of the extra excavation. The engineers' report recommended unofficial tests by kilns at the manufacturing plant plus official tests after delivery to the trench of at least one joint in fifty. Holyoke explained that, in effect, the JOS buys the pipe only after it is installed in the ground and has passed the required tests, including a rigid final inspection foliage (Continued on Page 6) Magnolia School Official Killed Donald Lee Story, 42, Magnolia school official who resided at 10892 Ninth st., Garden Grove, was killed instantly at 7:10 p.m. yesterday when his car collided with the car of Carl Arthur Coy, Jr., 27, 10531 Flower st., Stanton. The accident occurred at the blind intersection of West and Lampson sts., at Garden Grove. Coy and his passenger, Jack L. Wright, 19, 107 Kellogg st., Fullerton and Dick Powell, a passenger in the Story car, 14, 11272 West st., Garden Grove, all received major injuries and were taken to Fullerton Cottage hospital. Story's two children, Allen, 12 and Ann, 10, who received minor injuries in the crash nearly collapsed at the scene of the accident, officers said. They were taken to St. Joseph hospital in Orange. Story was a clerk of the Katella school board, a position to which he was appointed June 10, 1948, to fill the unexpired term of H. T. Walsworth, who resigned. Story was elected to a full term. The approximately 4000 delegates applauded MacArthur frequently. He addressed them after his speech to Congress and an official welcoming ceremony. His next appearance was to be at the annual meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Tonight, at 5 p.m., (PST), MacArthur was scheduled to fly to New York for a mammoth Manhattan reception and ticker tape parade tomorrow. MacArthur went to the Capitol in a 15 car caravan accompanied by his wife and their 13-year-old son, Arthur. Mrs. Helena DeCook Passes in Anaheim Mrs. Helena DeCook died at her home, 119 S.

Fair Ground Users Total 98,720 During Past Year Increasingly active year-around use of the Orange County Fair Grounds by numerous county organizations is revealed in figures released this week by officials of the 32nd District Agricultural Association, sponsor of the annual county fair which this year has been scheduled for Aug. 15-19, inclusive. Statistics reveal that since May 1950, a total of 98,720 persons have attended various functions at the fair grounds. Of this total, 80,000 is attributed to last season's Orange County Fair attendance, while activities of 16 other organizations account for the additional 18,720 attendance. The rabbit show being staged by the Southern California New Zealand Rabbit Breeders Association on April 21 and 22, the annual fair of the Orange County 4-H clubs on May 12, and the annual high school Ro-Day-Oh on May 19, along with various other anticipated events, are expected to swell this attendance figure by another 2500 for the 12-month period. Increasing year-around use of facilities at the fair grounds by organizations and groups is playing a major part is plans for future development of the area, located on a portion of the former Santa Ana Army Air Base site, according to R.

THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1951 M'Arthur Raps Claims Staff General Denies 'War Mongering' WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen. Douglas MacArthur pounded the Truman administration's Far Eastern policies before Congress today and said he understands the U.S. joint chiefs of staff shared his views from the military standpoint. In a fighting speech, the 71-year-old general of the Army declared: "Efforts have been made to distort my position. It has been said I am a war monger. Nothing is further from the truth." At no point did he mention President Truman's name, but much of the speech amounted to a direct retort to the president who said he removed MacArthur from his Far Eastern commands because the general's policies CHECK PRESENTED—Dick Morley, left, Anaheim Junior mer of Commerce president and chairman of the March of drive here for 1951, presents Judge John Shea, Anaheim entative of Orange County's anti-polio society, a check for $5, the results of the JCC's Dimes drive.

(Gazette photo by Kreidt) Local Missionary Back in Anaheim After 20 Years By ANITA ROBERTSON Twenty years of serving Christianity in China ended a week ago Sunday for Marguerite Twinem, Anaheim Methodist missionary. Miss Twinem started her career in same way many others started whose primary interest was in education. She graduated from AUHS in 1924 and attended Redlands, graduating from there with the class of '28 with her bachelor's degree in education. Then she came back to Anaheim's Fremon school to teach. Three years later fate worked out an exotic career which she has been following for the past 20 years. She was assigned as missionary to the Kean School for Girls in Tientsin, North China, where she taught for three years. After that she went on to Changli to a normal training school to train other primary teachers. During this period she did not while away idle time, but buckled down to extensive studies of the Chinese language, history and culture, both academically and socially. Spring of 1937 found her attending Hartford School of Religion in Hartford, Connecticut, working for her masters degree. Fall of the next year and she was back again at her work in the Changli Normal. Time passed and then the shattering blow fell In a fighting speech, the 71-year-old general of the Army declared: "Efforts have been made to distort my position. It has been said I am a war monger. Nothing is further from the truth." At no point did he mention President Truman's name, but much of the speech amounted to a direct retort to the president who said he removed MacArthur from his Far Eastern commands because the general's policies would spread the war in Korea. His voice often vibrant with emotion, MacArthur said he had been denied reinforcements needed in Korea, and had been "severely criticized" for advocating measures "professionally designed to support our forces in Korea and to bring hostilities to an end with the least possible delay and at a saving of countless American and Allied lives." MacArthur was in battle jacket for this opportunity to tell his side to the nation's lawmakers. He spoke from the dias of the House of Representatives, standing just in front of, and a level below, Vice President Barkley and Speaker Rayburn. He read his remarks. Packed in the House chamber were the members of the Senate and House and many high officials. But President Truman and Secretary of State Acheson — foes of the policies MacArthur espouses — were not among them. The president and his secretary of state were holding a conference at Blair House. Mrs. MacArthur beamed down on the general from a place in (Continued on Page 6) You Can Just Call Him Joe PITTSBURGH (UP) — The police want no more complaints from this Joe. His full name gums up the works. The cops heard from him last night, about his stolen auto license plates. But by the time his telephoned complaint was entered, passed along to operators and moved over the teletype, the confused department teetered on something like chaos. This is the name that was the Total Past Year Robit show being staged by Bern California New Zealander Breeders Association 21 and 22, the annual fair Orange County 4-H clubs 22, and the annual high Day-Oh on May 19, along various other anticipated events expected to swell this figure by another 2500-2-month period.

Plants Consider JOS Chlorination Representatives of eight Anaheim industrial plants met yesterday with City Enginner George Holyoke to discuss the reasons and methods of payment for chlorination of sewage to prevent contamination of beaches at the JOS sewer outfall. Reports were also given on progress of the Magnolia sewer construction and sanitation district activities to bring the industrialists up to date. Biochemical Oxygen Demand, abbrieviated to "BOD," is the name given to the chlorination system. Individual plants are charged for chlorination on the basis of the strength of their industrial sewage output and the amount of sewage as measured by individual plants. Treatment is made at the JOS treatment plant near Talbert on the basis of tests of incoming sewage from all pipes and also on tests of sea water after the (Continued on Page 8). Allies Launched TOKYO (P)—Allied troops today launched a limited attack north of the newly captured Hwachon power dam and reservoir on the east-central front in North Korea. The Allies seized the big hydroelectric grid Wednesday after reds who had defended it stubbornly for days slipped away to the north. Thousands of Allied doughbags poured into the dam and reservoir area. United Nations riflemen struck north from Hwachon at the west end of the reservoir. They traded fire with an enemy group of undisclosed strength but later withdrew. Chinese reds pulled back along the central front in the mountainous area west of the reservoir. Rain, smoke and haze made air observation impossible. But United Nations troops patrolled aggressively far ahead of their lines in those craggy heights without opposition. Heavy rain slowed the Allies. WEATHER S. Calif.—Mostly cloudy with occasional showers tonight and Friday, gradually clearing Friday afternoon. 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month NUMBER 121 Raps Adm.

Allies seized the big hydrogrill Wednesday after who had defended it stubborn days slipped away to north. Sands of Allied doughboys into the dam and reservoir United Nations riflemen north from Hwachon at last end of the reservoir. Graded fire with an enemy of undisclosed strength but withdrew. These reds pulled back all the central front in the inuous area west of the war. Smoke and haze made observation impossible. But Nations troops patrolled widely far ahead of their on those craggy heights opposition. By rain slowed the Allied push on the western front. Chinese mounted a daylight, company-sized counterattack 10 miles inside red Korea north of Yongchon. Allied artillery and a late afternoon air strike threw back the attack. U. N. forces inched forward up the last hillcrest before Chorwon, 17 air miles north of the border. Other Allied troops neared Chigyong, southeast of Chorwon and 16 air miles inside the red land. Behind front lines, American engineers and Korean road crews were working day and night to weather proof roads against the heavy rains soon due. There was no official explanation for the sudden red pullback that permitted the Allies to take over the Hwachon dam and reservoir. Eight of the dam's 18 floodgates were still open. The dam is 880 feet long and 250 feet high. It backs up water for 11 miles and once was a major source of power for Seoul. Allied troops seized Hwachon at the western end of the reservoir Wednesday without a fight. They captured Yanggu on the eastern end Monday. An eight-man patrol probed to the outskirts of Yanggu Wednesday night. Heavy red mortar shells fell into the city Thursday afternoon. The slow, deliberate U. N. drive appeared to be nearing the line between Chorwon and Kumha, 14 miles northeast. Behind it, the reds were believed to have massed 600,000 men for an expected spring drive. A U. S. Eighth Army communique Wednesday indicated the Allies were having trouble finding the reds at most places. It said Allied patrols in Central Korea were trying "to fix the position of an elusive enemy." Red casualties Tuesday totaled only 445, about half the usual daily score, indicating little action.
