El Toro Show Set, Anaheimers To Participate Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro—What may well be the most expansive air show in the history of El Toro Marine Corps Air Station is being readied for Armed Forces day next Saturday. Those attending the “open house” at El Toro will have ample opportunity to see why the air-ground coordination of Marine units has succeeded so well in the current Korean war. Included in the program will be a supply delivery by parachutes, a jet attack formation, simulated carrier landings, a demonstration of the close air support tactics made famous by the First Marine Air Wing and an additional demonstration of equipment used by Marine aircraft in making bad weather landings. A special feature, according to Lt. Col. John F. Dobbin, officer in charge of the aerial demonstrations, will be maneuvers featuring the recently activated squadron of transport helicopters. This squadron, which is based at the nearby Marine Corps Air Facility, is the first of its type for the Marines. The air show, which will last nearly two hours, is scheduled to begin Saturday at 1 p.m. Seven Anaheim high school (Continued on Page 5) Y’s Men See Films On Pacific Battles Films dealing with naval war in the Pacific during World War II was featured entertainment for the regular meeting of the Anaheim Y’s Men’s club held last night at Mother’s Kitchen.

Business of the evening was composed of plans to present a traveling trophy to Santa Ana club, calling of a board meeting for next Monday night, announcement of a work party for Camp Osceola on May 26 and 27, a report of the recent district conclave at South Gate, and discussion of the possibility of sending a delegate to the national convention in Cleveland next month. STRANGE LOOT Proficient lock pickers made their way into several buildings of the Santa Ana high school group last night and appropriated five bows and five dozen arrows from a locker in the girl’s gymnasium, Santa Ana police were informed. Police said they didn’t suspect Dan Cupid of the job. Lights about the swimming pool were smashed, and ice cream and jello dessert was missing from the refrigerator in the cafeteria. The boy’s gym and the general business offices also were entered.

From all over the United States, by telephone, telegrams and air mail, have come responses to an offer last week from Count Paul Almeida to trade use of his ancestral castle for a good used car. The count and his family want to come to the United States this summer to visit a friend, Dr. Robert K. Yeaton, English professor at Pasadena City college. Today Dr. Yeaton reported he was busy all weekend answering a flood of inquiries about the count's proposal. Yeaton said a Detroit millionaire apologized for not being able to fly here immediately to discuss the matter. A Hollywood producer wanted to send different couples to occupy the castle every two weeks as a radio show prize. A telegram signed Dan Platt, "The Krazy Auto King" of Elizabeth, N. J., asked Dr. Yeaton to phone personally. A colonel's wife in Washington, D. C., telephoned that she had just returned from Europe and didn't want to go back, but she'd be glad to loan the count and his wifi a car without cost. Count Almeida cooked up the exchange plan because Austria's financial restrictions will not permit him to take enough money out of the country to finance a visit here. For a good used car—he would tour the country in it then sell it to pay his fare home—he offered the castle, complete with servants, food, several lodges, bathhouse, lake and fishing and hunting rights. The ancestral estate is on Moon Lake on the main road between Vienna and Salzburg. Dr. Yeaton, who told newspapers about the count's proposal last Wednesday, said he has forwarded several of the responses to Austria and is awaiting a reply. He said response was so overwhelming he is thinking of writing other castle owners in the count's neighborhood to ask if they might be interested in similar deals.

Bradley Sees Wrong War Communists Start Probing Front But It Isn’t Expected Mass Drills KOREA-INTERNATIONAL AT A GLANCE FIGHTING FRONT — Steady rains ground Allied planes and hide Chinese movements preparatory to a new offensive. Communist forward elements stiffen against probing Allied units in front of buildup areas. Rain turns battlefields into quagmire favoring Chinese foot sluggers and bogging down heavy U.N. armor.

Cohen rousted his pet Boston terrier, Tuffy, out of its bed last night and had the bed sold for $35. Tuffy was sleeping in his specially constructed, mahogany bed at the auctioneer's establishment when he was disturbed. Cohen says he is broke and must raise cash to fight a federal income tax evasion charge. As the sale opened last night the gambler appeared concerned about the prices his things were bringing. His personal bed and a double dresser with a secret compartment brought only $575, less than half the cost. The top bid was $1150 for his custom made radio and 19-inch television set. Cohen said it cost him $2560. Cohen told the crowd of 500 that the auction will continue today and tomorrow.

My Sees China Fight As War, Wrong Enemy Probing Front-rated Mass Drive Chinese attacked only because they were goaded by our incest, air and urtillery attacks. That attack was premature. It was a reflex to our constant stabbing into their lines, like a swarm of hornets attacking when you hod their nest with a long stick. "The Chinese are ready for the gone one. They are getting replacements. Heavy rains are coming and they will hurt the mechanized United Nations army more than the Chinese. Low cellings are holding down tactical air support." "When the Chinese strike again" Midpoint Reached In Speech Course Halfway point was reached in the current Speechcraft course at last night's dinner meeting of the Anaheim Club. The topic of the evening was "Building a Speech." Under the guidance of Marion Pickle, instructor chairman of the evening, the speaking portion of the meeting was given by Louis Taylor, president, on the subject, "Planning the Speech, The Opening." He was followed by Royal Marten who discussed "The Body of the Speech." Concluding the talks, Ken Heuler outlined the method of properly "Closing the WASHINGTON (UP) — Unconfirmed talk of possible enemy peace feelers in Korea spread among lawmakers today as Gen. Omar N. Bradley carried on the administration's military reply to Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Before Bradley's scheduled appearance in the Senate inquiry into MacArthur's ouster, Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) told a reporter the feeling is growing among Senators that the red Chinese may give some early sign of willingness to negotiate. WASHINGTON (UP)—Gen. Omar N. Bradley said today the United States is not prepared for a global "showdown" with Russia. He testified that to strike directly at red China would signal Another Fatal Auto Accident In the County Crushed between her car and another that struck her as she was alighting from her own vehicle at San Clemente, Gladys Bravo, 40, resident of El Rancho Motel there, was killed last night by a hit-run driver. San Clemente police are holding Joe Felix Rivera, 34, Capistrano Beach, on a charge of felony hit-run, with possibility of a manslaughter charge being brought in addition. Rivera denies he was driver of the car that sideswiped the Bravo car. Police say they found evidence that his car had been in contact with another automobile and a human being. The fatal accident took place at 9:50 a.m. in front of the El Rancho motel, on the south side of San Clemente. Rivera was taken into custody at 10:25 p.m. The victim's body was removed to the Divel mortuary in Santa Ana, where an inquest is pending. Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) told a reporter the feeling is growing among Senators that the red Chinese may give some early sign of willingness to negotiate. WASHINGTON (UP)—Gen. Omar N. Bradley said today the United States is not prepared for a global "showdown" with Russia. He testified that to strike directly at red China would "involve us in the wrong war" with "the wrong enemy." Nothing would "delight" the Kremlin more, Bradley told Senators, than for this country to adopt Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Korean war strategy and carry the fighting to China. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was before the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees at their hearings on the dismissal of MacArthur from his Far-Eastern commands for publicly quarrelling with the administration's Korean policy. Bradley began by paying tribute to MacArthur's "illustrious career," adding that he would not "say anything to discredit" it. Then he tore into MacArthur's arguments and contentions about Korean policy. Bradley said it was "just not so" that the president, Secretary of State Acheson and Secretary of Defense Marshall "have a policy all their own, and that the Joint Chiefs of Staff have been overridden." He did not attribute that statement to MacArthur, but MacArthur, when testifying before the Senators, said he understood the Joint Chiefs had endorsed his (Continued on Page 6) BASEBALL CHICAGO (UP) — Brooklyn's home run twins—Gil Hodges and Duke Snider hit three round trippers today as the Dodgers whipped the Chicago Cubs, 8 to 4. Hodges, the Majors' home run leader, smacked Nos. 10 and 11, while Snider broke up the game with a base loaded shot in the seventh inning. Warren Sticking to No-New-Taxes Policy to Avoid Putting State in Red SACRAMENTO (P) — Governor Warren, sticking to his no-new-taxes policy, warned today against extra spending which might plunge the state into the red. He said he is not advocating either the three cent a pack cigarette tax or increased liquor levies pending before the legislature. That's because his proposed 1951-52 state budget can be financed on present revenues, he said. However, the governor went back to his oft-repeated edict—that if the legislature votes to spend the money beyond the budget, it will have to provide the revenues. He acknowledged that the state probably will have more funds than anticipated, as the result of abnormal defense spending. But he emphasized: 1. "Any unanticipated additional revenue is of such a highly temporary character that we can't in justice attempt to predicate our spending on it." 2. "There can't be enough additional surplus to make any substantial changes in our fiscal policies without endangering the solvency of our state." His statements reflected importantly on the assertions by sponsors of a $48,000,000 school aid bill that the step-up in tax income will leave enough money to cover their proposal. It's to pay for this school support that the three cent cigarette tax has been suggested in the legislature. Warren recalled that two years ago he spoke of a cigarette tax or boosts in the liquor excises as "the two most likely sources of revenue." He pointed out then that California's liquor taxes are only 60 per cent of the national average; that California was one of the few states without a cigarette levy." "I did not definitely advocate either of these taxes," he said. "I am not advocating any new taxes."
