Over the Back Fence Anaheim Says City Needs Transportation Net By ANITA ROBERTSON Your Over The Back Fence reporter covered two families in the new housing unit around S. Illinois st. this week. First stop was at 625, the home of Mr. and Mrs. James McCarthy and their four daughters, Betty, 8½, Jane, 7, Jacque, 3, and Mary Kay, 17 months. Chicago is the home town of the McCarthy's and Janie is the only California native in the family. She was born while they were out here during the last war when Mr. McCarthy was in the service. They returned again last September to live out here. Mr. McCarthy is employed with U. S. Motors in Los Angeles as Field Engineer, a position he held with the Chicago branch up until the time he was inducted, via reserves. He just returned from Korea in December. Now we come to Mrs. McCarthy's main objection to Anaheim. "There is no local transportation system. I think that with all the new housing units and the large number of people coming to live here that there should be a bus or streetcar that commutes locally. It would make things easier on us and it would bring a lot more business to local merchants." A young married woman neighbor rushed in to borrow a can opener, followed by two rollicking children. Mrs. McCarthy introduced her as Mrs. Fielding. After the momentary interruption been married for 10 years and that they are finding that owning a home has its problems. Since they have first moved in they have been badgered with a constant round of flu and colds. And the Tuesday after Easter, Betty Jean slipped and fell as she was playing in Hillcrest park in Fullerton. She broke her pelvis. She was cheerful and inquisitive as we talked, looking in from her bed in a room just off the living room. They think she will have to remain in bed for at least three more weeks. Mrs. Norma Wilson of 709 S. Illinois st. was at home when I knocked at her door. She had one year old Deborah in her arms and little Debbie looked angry. But by the time I left she had managed a grin. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Wilson moved into their new home during December of last year. They are both from Huntington Beach and they are working for the Kirkhill Rubber plant newly located in Brea. Formerly there were two plants in Los Angeles. Recently the two combined and moved to Brea to a much more spacious location, supposedly taking in over 10 acres. Since the beginning of the Korean offensive, production of the plant has stepped up a great deal and they are both working the swing shift six days a week. It doesn't leave either one of them now their main interest is in escaping their property. Mr. Wilson was a paratrooper during World War II originally came from a family. Mrs. Wilson came from Iowa quite some time ago. She has two sons, Jerry, Tilly, 6, from a former marshal. They both attend Ben Franklin school. While I there, they came tearing in school and made a bee-line the television set. Their mother told them they had better awhile before turning it on under their disappointed scrutiny I decided I was wearing out welcome. One more thing though, be I left Mrs. Wilson emphatically stated that they all liked Anaheim much better than any place I had found. She said they especially like the way we've solved parking problems with the citesy parking lots. Liquor Sellers Instructed to Watch Clocks Watch that clock!

Fifty-nine others were injured, some seriously. Seven of the dead were American soldiers. Their names were withheld. Japanese sources said bodies of 40 women and eight children were among the 98 charred corpses pulled from the smouldering coach. Police said the fire started as the electric suburban train pulled into Sakuragicho station. The flames quickly enveloped the train's first car after an electric power wire touched the roof. The second car was partially burned before police stopped the fire. For more than one hour the smouldering ruins were too hot for firemen to enter the cars. The operator was killed before he could open the door for the horrified passengers. The American Army provost marshal's office in Yokohama said 98 charred bodies had been found. The Americans were identified by their Army dog tags.

Anaheim and Colon Irrigation Health Russian Secret Police in U.S. Since 1920s, Ex-Red Testifies WASHINGTON (AP)—Benjamin Gitlow testified today that agents of the Russian secret police force began operating in this country about 30 years ago. Gitlow, who says he was ousted from the communist party in 1929 after a dispute with Joseph Stalin, said he had personal knowledge of such activity while he was a top party leader in the United States. Gitlow testified before the Subversive Activities Control board. It is holding hearings on whether the American communist party must register with the attorney general as a foreign-controlled organization. Gitlow said the Russian secret police, then known as the OGPU had agents regularly assigned to the United States as early as the first part of the 1920s. He said these agents worked in close co-operation with the U.S. communist party and one of their prime functions was the gathering of military and industrial information for the Soviet government. Gitlow said American communists had similarly worked in close contact with Amtorg, the Soviet trading corporation which was active in the 1920s in helping to obtain U.S. diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Regime. The hearing opened yesterday in a narrow, whitewashed room. Fewer than 40 people were on hand to hear the first witness tell that he helped give birth to the Bert C.

Purcell authorized calling for bids rehabilitation and alterations exhibit building on the Ana Fair grounds of the District Agricultural associa-The project is budgeted at $70,000. Gitlow said American communists had similarly worked in close contact with Amtorg, the Soviet trading corporation which was active in the 1920s in help-ing to obtain U.S. diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Regime. The hearing opened yesterday in a narrow, whitewashed room. Fewer than 40 people were on hand to hear the first witness tell that he helped give birth to the communist party in the United States—and that he was thrown out because he disagreed with Josef Stalin. If the Subversive Activities Control board finds the communist party is foreign directed it is required to order the party to register with the attorney general, listing all its members and detailing its finances. Presiding is former Republican Congressman Charles M. La Follette of Indiana. He makes rulings in a soft voice. In contrast to the courtroom fireworks when 11 communist party leaders were tried in New York in 1949, the lawyers for the communist party at this hearing are ultra-dignified. NO LA. PROTECTION' LOS ANGELES UP—Carl Pearson, former sheriff's captain, says he knows of "no protection program of any kind" in the sheriff's office.

The crest which hit Dubuque Sunday, is moving downstream with Clinton, Daveport and Muscatine the next major cities to face the onslaught. The 800 residents of Sabula, 16 miles north of Clinton, are waging a grim fight against the flood. The town is surrounded by water except for two highways which lead in on raised grades. Sixty per cent of the town is reported below the level of the river and in many places the town is eight to 10 feet below. Work on two one-mile long levees which protect Sabula on the north and south continued throughout the night. Schools were closed to allow youths to help work on the levees. Mayor George Ulmer expressed optimism that the town will pull through. “There are only three or four families gone from town,” he said. “We're staying right here and fighting it out.” At Muscatine, a town of 20,000 population, the river was at 20.3 feet and was expected to crest at 21.5 feet Thursday. All levees between Muscaline and Port Louisa are holding but water is over Highway 61 at some places. As the floods moved down-stream, workmen in river towns in Wisconsin and Minnesota started the cleanup job. But at Prairie du Chien, Wis., and La Crosse, Wis., hundreds were not expected to be able to return to their homes for several days. Conditions were reported improved in Minnesota river cities.

AP correspondent Jim Becker on the central front said the "tired, dispirited people" didn't even raise their heads to see what was happening along the roads they plodded. Twice before they had fled along the same routes from the communist advance—always in decreasing numbers. They walked down roads threatened by a great red pincer movement. Arms of the pincer were formed by Chinese pushing down the mountainous center of the peninsula, and reinforced reds boring across the Imjin river in the west. Elements of two attacking Chinese divisions forced U.N. troops to withdraw near Korangpo at the western end of the front. Korangpo is south of the 38th Parallel and 30 miles north of Seoul, South Korean capital. U.N. troops hit back. AP correspondent John Randolph reported they "were still fighting savagely at dusk."

Charles Gates (Hell 'n Maria) Dawes, banker and statesman who won fame in many fields during his cyclonic career, died last night. The 85-year-old former vice president, who served under Presid-ent Coolidge from 1825-29, died of coronary thrombosis in his suburban Evanston home. He was stricken while talking to his wife, Caro.

However, he said, Dawes, who was chairman of the board of the City National Bank and Trust company, did not go to his office yesterday. Dawes had been named as honorary chairman of the committee to greet Gen. MacArthur on his Chicago visit Thursday and presumably planned to attend the celebration. Success came to Dawes in banking and utilities.
