NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1951 Immunization Is Scheduled Here During Summer A mass voluntary immunization program will be undertaken in Anaheim from June 15 to Sept. 15 by local medical and allied professions, it was announced today by Dr. John E. Miller, chief of the Anaheim Civilian Defense Medical division. There will be a minimum fee. Acting on a plea from Dr. Edward Lee Russell, Orange County health officer, Dr. Miller began mobilization of the medical profession here for the program. Both medical men stressed the importance of immunization of the population before an attack, not after. "Once a community is disrupted by a disaster, whether military or natural in origin, communicable diseases spread rapidly and effective mobilization to cope with it, not to speak of conducting an immunization program, is nearly impossible," Dr. Miller explained. Mac Arthur S He Had Right State Draft Call Lowest So Far, No 19-Year-Olds SACRAMENTO (P)—Only about 1000 Californians will be called in the June draft "and we'll probably squeeze by without using 19-year-olds." State Selective Service Director Kenneth H. Leitch reported today. That's the lowest monthly call for California since the draft began last September. Previous monthly quotas have ranged from a high of 3950 to a low of 2152.

But inquiries indicated that such a deal, which would give CBS more television stations of its own in important markets, was in an exploratory, still nebulous stage at best and would have many obstacles to hurdle. First, approval of the Federal Communications Commission would be required and it has consistently looked with disfavor upon any transaction it regarded as tending toward a monopoly.ABC became a separate network in the first place because the FCC required the National Broadcasting Co., to dispose of one of its two network operations—"Red" and "Blue"—and it sold the "Blue." Then CBS would also have to bring its enlarged holdings within station ownership limits prescribed by the FCC—seven standard radio stations, six frequency modulation stations and five television stations. Also no company may own more than one station of each type in a single community. SACRAMENTO (P)—Only about 1000 Californians will be called in the June draft "and we'll probably squeeze by without using 19-year-olds." State Selective Service Director Kenneth H. Leitch reported today. That's the lowest monthly call for California since the draft began last September. Previous monthly quotas have ranged from a high of 4950 to a low of 2152. Local draft boards were on the verge of taking 19-year-olds for the May draft, but were able to fill their quotas without doing so. Colonel Leitch said he believes there will be enough reclassifications between now and the June call to provide sufficient 20-year-olds for next month's quota. WASHINGTON (P)—The Army today issued a draft call for 20,000 men in June. This is the smallest number in any monthly call since the draft was resumed last September.Since that time, a total of 550,000 men have been drafted or placed on call for Army duty. Smog Remedies Up to Localities SACRAMENTO (P)—Governor Warren said today he doesn't want the state to get into the smog-remedy business. He is all for a state study of smog's effects on public health, he said, but the question of what to do about it should be left to local and regional air pollution districts. The Governor said he wrote Assemblyman Randal F.Dickey (R-Alameda) yesterday that with one exception his smog research bill, as amended, was satisfactory to him. The measure, which started out providing for the study by an independent state commission, now calls for the investigation to be made by the State Department of Public Health, as advocated by Warren. However, the governor said the Dickey bill directs a survey not only of the public health feature but of possible remedies as well. He said that places it in a different field.

For the third straight day heavy tank force raided Uljion 11 miles north of Seoul. The tanks added to the daily toll of casualties. Communists made attacks. "So far the only things they succeeded in destroying are a tens of thousand more of the own men," Ridgway said. "And so far as I can see they going to continue to do that—continue to pay the bloody price they've been paying." By U.S.Eighth Army estimate the price is close to 80,000 red co qualities since their now-boggy down spring offensive start April 22.

The Eighth Army revisits its estimate of Thursday's communist losses to 1815.

The reds were gathering today in the hills under the protection cover of rain clouds for another attempt. "It's a tragic thing," Ridgway said, "that they have to sacrifice so many tens of thousands of people and continue to devastate the country for their own aggressive selfish ends." "Whatever the enemy does I will get more than he reckons for." The red Pyongyang radio broadcast Friday night that seven U.N. planes were shot down, seven tanks destroyed and an American counterattack repulsed. There was no U.N. report resembling this.

Douglas MacArthur, under fire from Democratic Senators for his public break with the Truman administration on Asian policy, told them today: "I do not believe in gag rule."

For the second day, the 71-year-old general was in the witness chair before Senators inquiring into the issues and circumstances behind his summary dismissal from his Far Eastern commands by President Truman. Senators McMahon (D-Conn) and Kefauver (D-Tenn), support- Reds Regrouping in Hills While Allied Tanks Roam No-Man's Land Warren Backs Disability Pay SACRAMENTO (UP) — Governor Warren told his news conference today: It would be a blot on our state if the legislature failed to approve proposed $75 monthly aid to totally and permanently disabled persons. If California doesn't enact the program, it will be one of the few backward states in the country. No knows of no opposition in the legislature to his bill to give subpoena powers to the new crime commission but has heard that "the pressure is on" from the outside. The bill, passed by the Assembly, is set for a Senate committee hearing next week. Until both state and federal policy is determined, he can give no answer to the question of feasibility of state acquisition of the Central valley project. The Senate has urged a study of state purchase. The governor noted the federal government has put over $300,000,000 into the project already.
