Transportation Is Civic Progress Theme Today: Belinn Advocates Use of Helicopters in This Area Tuesday's meeting of Anaheim's Civic Progress Week, held at the Elks club had as its theme "Transportation Day." Co-sponsoring with the local Chamber of Commerce was Anaheim Klwans club. Its president, A. H. Shipkey and J. R. Scholz, co-chairmen of the Chamber of Commerce Transportation committee, were co-chairmen of the day. A report by Mr. Scholz outlined in detail transportation needs and recommendation for Anaheim. Anaheim Chamber President Adolf Schoepe introduced the guest speaker for the day. Chance Belinn, president of Los Angeles Airways, who gave as his topic "The Helicopter Become of Age." Mr. Belinn quoted many statistics showing the rapid growth of the helicopter service with special emphasis on the $10 million dollars saved the military in the Korean war theater by the use of helicopters, chiefly in the saving of lives of downed military pilots in the battle zones. This is greatly appreciated, he said, by the military authorities who know of the service that helicopters have rendered. While helicopter service has to date been mostly for mail services from a commercial standpoint, the day is rapidly coming when established helicopter service will carry people all over the country. He said, "Helicopters are bound to replace in some ways the feeder line operations serving communities." Belinn suggests that Anaheim soon dedicate a permanent heliport, a location, perhaps donated by someone to save taxpayers' money. Anaheim is one of the Los Angeles Airways best stopovers. Due to industrial needs the present heliport here has had to move several times. Some of the interesting figures reported by Belinn are that his company now operates five helicopters, has flown 20,000 hours. Russians Strut, Americans Debate On Sixth Anniversary of V-E Day By The Associated Press Western Nations—Their eyes on defense preparations against another world war—paid scant attention today to celebrations marking victory over Germany six years ago. Eastern Europeans dutifully trumpeted the day as a great victory anniversary of the red army. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Western Allies' supreme commander in World War II inspected Belgian military airfields in a chilling rain. The man who received Germany's unconditional surrender in Relms, France, May 8, 1945, went quietly about his business of shorting up Europe's defenses against the towering military giant, Russia, a former ally. In East Germany, Soviet zone communists gathered for a ceremony at the red army's Memorial park in Treptow. Speakers eulolized the red army as the saviour of Europe. American attention was centered on a high policy debate on how to defeat communist forces in Korea and meet red aggression anywhere it showed. Defense Secretary George C. Marshall, chief of staff during World War II, defended before a Senate committee President Truman's firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Marshall contended MacArthur's policies, if followed, might set off World War III. For President Truman, it was a double anniversary, marking his own 67th birthday as well as the sixth anniversary of his victory proclamation. One of the great diplomatic architects of the victory, Cordell Hull who was President Roosevelt's Secretary of State during the war years, lay critically ill at the Navy Medical center, Bethesda, Md. The 79-year-old statesman has been in poor health for several years. The State Department needled Moscow for ignoring Western Allies in Soviet victory claims. A Voice of America broadcast recalled that Prime Minister Stalin gave full credit to the Western Allies at the time the Nazis surrendered but later changed his tune. In 1946 he said victory was accomplished by the Russian people and a year later that the red army could have done it singlehanded. Some of the interesting figures reported by Belinn are that his company now operates five helicopters, has flown 20,000 hours carried approximately 15 million pounds of mail, or over 70 per cent, with a regular schedule operating 85 mph. In November a new fleet of S-55 copters are expected, single engine, 10 passenger. Later will come the S-65 multi-copter of the D-c-3 category. The S-55 is strictly a cargo and mail carrier for the present, however. In 1947 helicopter operations were conducted by three companies making the machines, today with the figures somewhere around one billion dollars and eight manufacturers the helicopter business has come to stay. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 74. High for the previous 24 hours was 75 at 3 p.m. yesterday. Low was 49 at 6 a.m. today. Baseball National League BROOKLYN (P)—Hank Sauer's two-run homer in the first inning and rookie Johnny Schultz's nine-hit pitching gave the Chicago Cubs a 2-1 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers today.

Howard J. Sedgwick, 22, occurred in injuries received in a traffic crash at 9:00 last night near Irvine. Lieutenant Sedgwick drove his car through a boulevard stop sign on Central ave. and entered Highway 101 in the path of a car driven by William G. Potter, 21, sailor from San Diego, according to the California Highway Patrol. The Marine died an hour later in the El Toro Marine Base dispensary. His passenger, Russell E. Maatz, 23, also from El Toro, received minor injuries as did Potter and his passenger, another sailor, Claude R. Laine, 22. Mrs. Elizabeth Branchflower, 67, Santa Ana, received minor injuries late yesterday while alighting from a taxi near 17th and Main st., in Santa Ana.

Martin, formerly of Anaheim, was arrested an hour later on a charge of suspicion of attack with a deadly weapon. Following the attack, Mrs. Martin was taken to Anaheim hospital by a neighbor, where she was treated for 11 smooth cuts about the face, neck, body, arms and legs. When officers arrived at Mrs. Martin's home following a call from a neighbor, they found her bleeding from her many wounds and in pain. She told them that Martin had entered her house and demanded a ride to Whittier, where he works, and that she refused to comply. Ten minutes later, she said, Martin returned with a razor in his hand and allegedly stated: "I really came to kill you—I'm going to cut your head off and take it to your mother—I have a gun to kill them with." With that, Martin allegedly began slashing at Mrs. Martin with the razor. She fended off the blows as best she could with a bath towel she had in her hands, but she said, he forced her to the floor and slowly drew the razor across her left arm, saying he wanted to test it. Mrs. Martin broke loose from her assailant and dashed to a rear room where her two children, David Welton and Delrdre Martin, were sleeping. She pulled the bedspread from the bed and wrapped it around her neck in an effort (Continued on Page 5) WASHINGTON, May 8 — EMPIRE DENT Truman gestures vigorous fense conference last night bombs to fall on American city In his speech, the president las MacArthur's proposals for sociated Press Wirephoto) UN Officers Said Miffed at Soviet KOREA-INTERNATIONAL AT A GLANCE FIGHTING FRONT—U.N. tacks roll up slight gains on west and east fronts.

UN Forces is to Crack ill to Fight--Marshall WASHINGTON (U.S.)—Secretary Marshall said today the United Nations aim to win the Korean war by inflicting "terrific casualties" on the Chinese communists, breaking their morale and destroying their trained armies. The Defense Secretary gave that answer to Senators pressing him as to what "foreseeable end" the administration's Korean war policies promise. He was at the capital for the second day defending those policies against the bitter attack made by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, deposed Far Eastern commander who contends they offer nothing but a "bloody stalemate."

Cigarettes Face 3-Cent Tax Hike SACRAMENTO (AP)—Organized labor came out emphatically against a proposed 3 cent a pack state cigarette tax in the California legislature today. "We see no reason for it," said C. J. Haggerty, secretary of the him as to what "forseeable end" the administration's Korean war policies promise. He was at the capital for the second day defending those policies against the bitter attack made by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, deposed Far Eastern commander who contends they offer nothing but a "bloody stalemate." Marshall told the Senators, too, that he is "disturbed" about the possible effect on United Nations men in Korea of statements from their commander (MacArthur) "which accentuate the casualties that they are suffering and in effect that it is without justified purpose." "We should find some way," Marshall said, "of proceeding with this investigation that does not destroy us in the field by serious reaction in the way of morale." Marshall said the administration's plan for Korea has been to "inflict the greatest number of casualties we could in order to break down not only the morale, but the trained fabric of the Chinese armies." At this point the censor deleted 50 words from the public version of Marshall's testimony. Then the secretary of defense continued: "That is, inflict terrific casualties on the Chinese communist forces. If we break the morale of their armies, but more particularly, if we destroy their best trained armies as we have been in the process of doing, there, it seems to me, you develop the best probability of reaching a satisfactory negotiatory basis with those Chinese communist forces, without getting ourselves into what we think would be a great hazard toward developing a much enlarged struggle with consequently larger casualties or a complete world war." The reference to "negotiatory basis" indicated that Marshall and the Joint Chiefs of Staff hope that if sufficient losses are inflicted, the enemy will withdraw and talk peace terms. Marshall depicted Korea, too, as only one point in a global struggle with communism in which administration strategy has Cigarettes Face 3-Cent Tax Hike SACRAMENTO (AP)—Organized labor came out emphatically against a proposed 3 cent a pack state cigarette tax in the California legislature today.

Sponsors of the new cigarette levy move won Assembly committee endorsement of the tax yesterday on the argument that current revenues won't support a $48,000,000 school appropriation. Haggerty told a reporter there has been no showing that money will be lacking to finance the additional school subsidy from present state income. Santa Ana Airport May Get U.S. Aid The Santa Ana airport is named among 20 California airports being considered for development and improvement with federal aid during the fiscal year beginning next July 1.

Brush Fire Harder On Spectator Than On the Real Estate Excitement aroused by crowds and fire trucks gathered at a small grass fire south of Anaheim early yesterday, caused Hazel Kelly, 34, 11011 Manchester blvd., to suffer a mild heart attack.
