Council Again Facing Those Shortcut Lots On the agenda for the meeting of Anaheim City Council tomorrow night at 8 o'clock are five recommendations from the planning commission on annexations, subdivisions and oil drilling in the city limits. Two tentative subdivision maps presented to the planning commission by Jess Alcudas, local real estate man, are up to produce some council finance measures since both are in the RO zone of northwest Anaheim and both provide for substandard lots. Tract 1460, which proposes 47 lots on the Gerald Endicott property on W. North st., west of West st., was approved for 31 lots in September, 1950, but was subsequently reduced to 47 lots to come closer to meeting the RO zone requirements of 9000 square feet.

They were Felt's Ali Baba, an Afghan hound who took Best of Breed, shown by Jim Felts of 6322 Lincoln ave., and Scott's Get Brilliantine, a six-month-old black Chow puppy birth in the novice class who also took Best of Breed, shown by Mrs. Jean Scott, 8112 Crescent ave., Buena Park. Best of show honors went to a handsome German Shepherd owned by Anton B. Korbel and Howard of Belmont—Champion Quell Vom Fredeholz. Hugh A.

The special order was asked by Assemblyman Herbert Kloek. Military Calls 1202 Doctors WASHINGTON (P)—The Defense Department called today for the draft of 1202 doctors during July, August and September. Officials said the draft call is needed because there have not been enough volunteers to fill medical needs. If enough doctors volunteer, the present requisition will not be necessary, the department said. The call is for Priority One doctors—men who received medical education at government expense or were deferred from service during World War II to attend medical school, and who have served less than 90 days in the armed forces: Only one previous call for the draft of doctors under the draft law amendment of September 5, 1950, has been issued. That call was made October 10. At that time the department asked for 1522 doctors, dentists and veterinarians. No one, however, was actually inducted under that call. Sufficient men volunteered before the inductions took place. Local Notes TRAIN KILLS WOMAN A Santa Fe train struck a 27-year-old woman Saturday night on an isolated stretch of tracks about zone of northwest Anaheim and both provide for substandard lots. Tract 1460, which proposes 47 lots on the Gerald Enaicott property on W. North st., west of West st., was approved for 31 lots in September, 1960, but was subsequently reduced to 47 lots to come closer to meeting the RO zone requirements of 9000 square feet. The 9000-foot requirement is not met by the 47 lots, so the planning commission recommended rejection. Tract 1404, reduced from 33 to 29 lots recently by Medaris, has also been recommended for rejection on the same grounds. Lots run from 7500 to 7700 square feet and lie north of North st. and west of Citron st. Difficulties in handling the Medaris maps will probably arise from the fact that the council recently approved substandard lots in a subdivision proposed by Ralph Maas, local builder, in the same zone. A planning commission recommendation to approve circulation of a petition for the annexation of 217 acres northeast of Anaheim will be considered by the council. The petition was presented by Patrick Boden of Santa Ana Council has the choice of approving it or killing the petition now by unfavorable action. Repeal of Ordinance 441, which allows oil drilling in certain areas within the city limits, will be considered. If it is repealed, according to City Administrator Keith Murdoch, Ordinance 774 will become effective. It requires a review and special use permit for exploitation of any mineral deposits in the city. Final maps of Tracts 1493 and 1525 presented by Westland Homes of Arcadia, will be considered for approval. The tracts are the west portion of the Jones Bros. tract on the south side of North st. between Palm and Citron sts. State Assembly Going to Mat On Draw Poker SACRAMENTO (P)—The State Assembly today agreed to a showdown debate Wednesday morning on a committee-shelved bill to outlaw draw poker in California. The special order was asked by Assemblyman Herbert R. Klocksiem (R-Long Beach) in his move to withdraw his measure from the committee on boards and commissions. The committee sidetracked the legislation by voting to refer it to an interim group for further study. Governor Warren and law enforcement authorities are backing the Klocksiem bill which would close down commercial draw poker parlors in such places as Gardena. At the committee hearing, only opposition to the measure came from Gardena witnesses. The courts have ruled that draw poker is legal under an old law which fails to specify it in the list of prohibited card games. DAVID MINGS DIES David Mings, 878 S. Claudina st., and owner of Harmony Park, died this noon. Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars will give further details tomorrow. Local Notes TRAIN KILLS WOMAN A Santa Fe train struck a 27-year-old woman Saturday night on an isolated stretch of tracks about 200 feet north of Vermont st. in Anaheim. The body was later identified as Consuela Castillo of 1006 Alabama st., Huntington Beach. The fatal incident took place on a deserted stretch of railroad track in southern Anaheim. Orange groves are on both sides of the tracks at that location. Santa Ana police notified the Anaheim police department immediately of the accident. Sgt. Hoxie turned in the report describing the woman as weighing about 160 pounds, light complexion, probably of Mexican descent, and wearing black high heels, dark coat, light brown dress and a red artificial flower in her hair. Impact of the train threw her 25 feet clear, east of the tracks. She died instantly. Time of the accident was about 9:20 p.m. Anaheim police are investigating the circumstances surrounding her being at that isolated location at that time of night. Remains have been taken to the Roy Smith Mortuary in Huntington Beach. CRASH DAMAGES CARS Cars driven by Mahalle Isabel Bush, 119 E.

MacArthur Controversy May Force Joint Chiefs In 3 Million Chicagoans Expect to Greet General in Big W Military Heads Will Tell Story To Congressmen By ELTON C. FAY Associated Press Military Affairs Reporter WASHINGTON — The Joint Chiefs of Staff, one of the least communicative groups in Washington, probably will be compelled also to include House committees in the joint inquiry into the policies and strategy of the Korean war. The expected star witnesses are big names, including MacArthur and Secretary of Defense Marshall. The Joint Chiefs, too, appear to be preparing for questioning. During the latter half of last week, the chiefs held a series of unusual and prolonged sessions in their well-guarded suite of Pentagon offices. Chicago Plans Huge Parade For General CHICAGO (UP) —General McArthur is coming to Chicago Thursday and the nation's second largest city is all set for a super welcome. Soldier Field, the lake front open-air arena, was reserved yesterday for a mass civic reception. Will Tell Story To Congressmen By ELTON C. FAY Associated Press Military Affairs Reporter WASHINGTON — The Joint Chiefs of Staff, one of the least communicative groups in Washington, probably will be compelled to divulge some of its family secrets to Congress. The nation-shaking row that has burst out of President Truman's firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and the general's speech to Congress has confronted the four-man military high command with the necessity of talking. Already the Defense Department has issued an implied challenge to MacArthur's assertion that his views on how the Far East war should be prosecuted—from a military standpoint—have been fully shared by practically every military leader in the past, including the JCS. The department, in a week-end statement, said an analysis of the "basic differences" between MacArthur and the JCS would be given to the "appropriate Congressional committees." On Capitol Hill, present planning indicates these will be the Senate's Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, although some Republican leaders The expected star witnesses are big names, including MacArthur and Secretary of Defense Marshall. The Joint Chiefs, too, appear to be preparing for questioning. During the latter half of last week, the chiefs held a series of unusual and prolonged sessions in their well-guarded suite of Pentagon offices. Hurrying into the JCS section, with portfolios under arm, were these four men who share responsibility for devising the nation's military strategy in the current and any further wars: Mild—mannered Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the JCS, veteran of World War II high command service in Europe, who looks (Continued on Page 5) RADAR FOR C. J. MOODY Radar will no longer be a mystery to Carroll Joe Moody, seaman apprentice, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Moody of 8112 Monterey, Anaheim, when he completes his course at the U.S. Naval Radarmen School at Treasure Island, San Francisco. He is undergoing a 14-week course designed to provide the fleet with radar operators qualified in the adjustment and operation of Naval radar equipment. Functions and techniques of a Combat Operational Center are also covered. Before heading for the downtown Loop area and a formal parade, the general will be given military honors, including a gun artillery salute by Fifth Army Artillerymen, at the airport. A crushing crowd of 3,000,000 about 75 per cent of Chicago population—is expected to part in the mammoth celebration for the general, his wife, or their son, Arthur, 13. To give the spectators room move, most surface traffic will detoured from the downtown area. The parade route will from the near North Side to Bataan-Corregidor bridge... WEATHER S.

Leaders Confident Van Fleet Says Line Will Hold TOKYO (UP) — United Nations troops pulled back as much as 15 miles under the impact of a major red offensive which ranged along 100 miles of the Korean front today. In other sectors the Allies stopped the red cold. Where the Allies withdrew it was in orderly fashion. The communists, with nearly 700,000 men facing the front, launched their attack at 7:30 Sunday night behind their heaviest artillery barrage of the war. Their assault eased in daylight Monday, but was renewed with fresh vigor Monday night.

Mayor Martin H. Kennelly said MacArthur has indicated he does not expect to make a formal speech in the ceremonies at Soldier Field. However the mayor said he "hoped the general would say a few words." Following the Chicago welcome, MacArthur is scheduled to go to Milwaukee Friday where he will be feted and given an honorary ped the reds cold. Where the Allies withdrew it was in orderly fashion. The communists, with nearly 700,000 men facing the front, launched their attack at 7:30 Sunday night behind their heaviest artillery barrage of the war. Their assault eased in daylight Monday, but was renewed with fresh vigor Monday night. One intelligence officer called the attack the reds' "major effort." But another spokesman said Monday it's still too early to tell if it is the reds' long-expected big spring push. Close censorship delayed news of the offensive 14th hours. Then it permitted only a fragmentary picture of the battle. This was it: The reds forced a crossing of the Imjin river along a 15 mile front in the west. They were checked by concentrated U.N. air and artillery fire. This crossing is 26 miles northwest to 30 miles north of Seoul, shell-shattered South Korean capital. United Nations troops pulled back south of the Hantan river, in the solemn sector to the east. They blew their bridges behind them. The western front was strewn with bodies of thousands of Chinese, cut down by artillery and air bombardment. All along the central front Allied troops "rolled with the punch." They fought from new positions Monday night over a battlefield garishly lightened by giant search lights, flood lights and flares dropped from planes. Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, commander of the U.S. 8th Army, had expressed confidence before the red assault that his men could stop any red counterblow. He added: "If the enemy knew what I know, he would go back to China right now." Despite withdrawals, the U.N. forces appeared to be bearing out the general's words. The longest pullback was in the far west. There Allied units which had been as much as 15 miles north of the 28th Parallel pulled back south of the hypothetical dividing line between North and South Korea. Mayor Martin H. Kennelly said MacArthur has indicated he does not expect to make a formal speech in the ceremonies at Soldier Field. However the mayor said he "hoped the general would say a few words." Following the Chicago welcome, MacArthur is scheduled to go to Milwaukee Friday where he will be feted and given an honorary degree at Marquette university. Local Sailors on USS Mt. McKinley Rudolph Ramirez, seaman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip M. Ramirez, of 213 W. Elm st., Anaheim, has reenlisted in the Navy for a period of six years, while serving aboard the amphibious force flagship USS Mt. McKinley. Since arriving in the Far East in May, 1950, the Mt. McKinley has participated in all major United Nations Naval operations. She was command ship for the operations at Pohangdong, Inchon, and Wonsan, and the redeployment of UN troops from the beaches of Hungnam. After months of rigorous duty in Korean waters Ramirez and John R. Cadwalader, USN, of 832 So. Philadelphia st., are getting a "sailor's eye view" of the Orient as the USS Mt. McKinley, visits some of the major Japanese ports. County MWD Seen by Watson SACRAMENTO—State Senator Clyde A. Watson of Orange, predicted today that his legislation to permit all of Orange county to enter Metropolitan Water district will become law later in September. The bills were successfully guided through the Senate by Watson and are now before the Assembly where they will be handled by Assemblyman Sam L. Collins, Fullerton, speaker of the lower house. This legislation should do much to improve the general water situation in Orange county. Watson said, "I don't anticipate any opposition in the Assembly, and I am confident they will be signed into law by the governor when they reach his desk." Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 67 degrees.
