A couple of weeks ago the folks of the Gazette office figured they would like to have a little extra space in the paper today to mention the fact that tomorrow (May 8) is the first birthday of the daily Gazette—and nearing the 81st anniversary of publication of the original Anaheim Gazette. Then, too, this is Civic Progress Week in Anaheim; and, we felt we should mention some of the economic factors which are responsible for Anaheim's solid position in Southern California. So, the Gazette folks decided to get together a 16 page paper for today which would include mention of our birthdays, recall a little local history, and visit some of the manufacturing and citrus products units which are making Anaheim known throughout the world. The word got around! We found we had even more friends than we reckoned on. A newspaper, from day to day, generally determines the number of its pages by the amount of advertising it contains. By the end of last week enough advertising had flowed into the Gazette for a 36 page paper. At that point we had to call a halt. We honestly believe our busy readers can absorb only so much "progress" in one serving. We didn't want to discourage you from carefully reading our paper because of "too much stuff" in it. Of course, we are most grateful to the fine folks whose advertising messages have made this edition possible. They have some very interesting and thoughtful messages in their advertisements—well worth paying especial attention to.

Douglas MacArthur’s Korean war proposals would risk “an all-out war with the Soviet Union.” Replying to MacArthur’s attacks on the administration’s Far Eastern policies, Marshall also said: 1.

The boy, Michael Witt, was found dead of exposure by the side of their car near the mountain community of Idyllwild. The body of the father, Melvin Witt, 40, well-to-do citrus rancher of Orange, was found three miles away. He had died of a heart attack. The bodies were found Friday and autopsies the following day disclosed the causes of death. Sheriff's deputies, reconstructing events, said the father and son were headed for their car when a snowstorm struck. Apparently Witt suffered a heart attack and his son struggled the three miles to the car in hope of getting aid. But by the time he reached the car he was too weak and died on the ground. The two left April 27 for a fishing trip in the San Jacinto mountains. Funeral services for the father and son will be held at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Smith and Tuthill chapel Santa Ana. AMERICAN LEGION MEET Tonight the American Legion will meet to see "Highlights of 1950," a football film featuring the Los Angeles Rams. Speaker for the evening will be Jack Zilley, star end for the Rams. Other guests expected for the evening are "Bootin" Ben Agajian, local and near-by coaches, "Rocky' Gulin, local man who was with the Rams for three years and a jet pilot for the Marines, and various other notables from the Southern California sports world. All veterans interested are invited to meet with the American Legion, 8 p.m., at 936 N. Lemon Eastern policies, Marshall also said: 1. The Truman administration's unwavering policy is to deny nationalist-held Formosa to the Chinese communists and to oppose seating of the reds in the United Nations. 2. A Jan. 12 memorandum of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which MacArthur contended supported his proposals for fighting the Korean war by direct action against communist China, was drafted for use if American troops had to withdraw from Korea. 3. The memoradum was discarded when it became apparent that American troops had turned the tide of battle. 4. The memorandum contained 18 courses of recommended action, only four of which were quoted by MacArthur in his testimony last week to Senators inquiring into his dismissal as Far Eastern commander and policy dispute involved in it. 5. MacArthur was fired because of "basic differences of judgment" not only with the president, but the Chiefs of Staff and Marshall himself. Testifying at a closed session with his "combed" testimony made public later, Marshall said MacArthur's plan would risk an all-out world conflict "even at the expense of losing our Allies and wrecking the coalition of free peoples throughout the world." MacArthur has proposed intensification of the economic squeeze against red China, blockade of its coasts, air operations over Manchuria and use of Chinese nationalist troops from Formosa. Marshall said MacArthur "would have us, on our own initiative, carry the conflict beyond Korea against the mainland of communist China, both from the sea and from the air." He would have us accept the risk of involvement not only in extension of the war with red China, but in an all-out war with the Soviet Union," the defense secretary said, adding: "He (MacArthur) would have us do this even though the effect-of such action might expose Western Europe to attack by the millions of Soviet troops polised in middle and eastern Europe." tank-infantry column rumthrough Chunchon on the central front Monday, and a beyond, without meeting oplon. other armored groups fanned all along the center.
