Chamber of Commerce Membership to Consider Retail Trade Competition Is Anaheim in danger of losing retail sales to outlying, modern-designed, suburban shopping districts? That is one of the important questions which a symposium of informed laymen and experts will discuss at the next membership meeting of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, to be held June 6 at noon in Anaheim Elks club. Other questions which will come up for discussion are: Will retail sales in Anaheim keep pace with economic development of the city? If not, why not? Should not the Chamber of Commerce's dynamic industrial program have a telling impact on the entire economy of Anaheim? Published building permits indicate Anaheim's building activity—new stores and houses—lags behind neighboring areas. Is there some good reason for this? In addition to the above questions other subjects of special interest to retailers, property owners, real estate men, planners, business and civic leaders will be treated by the symposium. The subjects to be discussed are occasioned by the springing up of new shopping areas in Santa Ana. Fullerton and in districts west of Anaheim, which might lure trade away from the Anaheim marketing area. Anaheim, center of the Northern district of Anaheim and not to the shopping centers on the edges of the marketing area. The Chamber of Commerce has had the problem under study for some time. Bills on Liquor Stall in Capitol SACRAMENTO (UP) — Three proposals for stricter liquor-selling laws, including one directed against bars with "B-girls" have bogged down in Assembly committee. The Boards and Commission committee yesterday laughed down another—a bill to permit tourists to return from Mexico with two quarts of liquor tax free. Assemblyman Julian Beck (D-San Fernando) said his anti-"B-girl" bill was designed to hit those "who shake down GI's." It would have made it a misdemeanor for a tavern to employ anyone soliciting drinks for pay. The vote against the measure was four to three. A bill by Assemblyman G. D. Morris (R-Los Angeles) requiring judges to revoke the license of any tavern violating liquor laws a third time never came to a vote. Neither did a bill by Assemblyman C. V. Porter (D-Compton). Retreating Reds Blitten Resistance — All along the Korean front U.N. troops were at a virtual standstill as retreating reds turned and fought back. On the western front (A) U.N. troops ran into heavy opposition after fording the Imjin river. At Hwachon (B) battles flared in three directions west of the reservoir. At Inje (C) field reports said tank-led patrols ran into trouble while probing in three directions from the anchor of this eastern sector. (Associated Press Wirephoto Map) Korean War (Continued from Page 1) the reservoir about four miles east of the damsite. U. S. Marines were on the western end. American infantrymen fighting through strong opposition gained one mile Tuesday in their drive to reach its eastern end. A delayed and heavily censored dispatch from AP correspondent Tom Bradshaw said a powerful U. N. task force bogged down Monday northeast of Inje. "Allied casualties in Inje itself were heavy," Bradshaw reported. Reds poured sporadic fire from the surrounding hills into the town. "A leveled area of mud." Buena Park (Continued from Page 1) James L. Davis, or Sheriff James Muslick? The prosecutor and sheriff issued that appeal today, in the hope of adding to their evidence against Henry Ford McCracken, 34-year-old accused kidnapper and slayer of Patty Hull. McCracken is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court at 1:30 p.m. Friday, June 8, on a grand jury indictment charging murder, kidnapping and child stealing. Word that the woman had been seated in the theater beside Patty Hull was brought by Ermma Shaw, 10, companion of Patty at the theater that afternoon. Ermma said that she and Ginger Wright, of Long Beach, were seated between Patty and the man who, she said tickled her leg, so that she and Ginger left the theater. There were two vacant seats then between the man and Patty Hull, who remained in the show. The unidentified woman sat on the other side of Patty, said Ermma. This was in the loges, second seat from the back, she stated. Ermma later identified a photograph of McCracken as the man in the theater. But in a lineup of men at Buena Park, she picked a newspaperman as the suspect. Davis and Musick would like to contact the woman who sat beside Patty, to corroborate the identification of McCracken if possible. The state has two witnesses, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Reynolds of Downey, who say they saw McCracken and a girl answering interest to retailers, property owners, real estate men, planners, business and civic leaders will be treated by the symposium. The subjects to be discussed are occasioned by the springing up of new shopping areas in Santa Ana. Fullerton and in districts west of Anaheim, which might lure trade away from the Anaheim marketing area. Anaheim, center of the Northern Orange county shopping area, may have to take steps to insure that "trade" continues to the business A bill by Assemblyman G. D. Morris (R-Los Angeles) requiring judges to revoke the license of any tavern violating liquor laws a third time never came to a vote. Neither did a bill by Assemblyman C. V. Porter (D-Compton) requliring everyone purchasing liquor to carry a state-issued identification card. Porter said this would cut down juvenile delinquency by making it almost impossible for youngsters to falsify their ages. But Assemblyman Thomas J. Doyle (D-Los Angeles) replied, "to administer this, it would take enough men to win the Korean war." Legislature In Brief By The Associated Press Assembly subcommittee studies possible steps to tighten sex crime laws; governor said he will seriously consider any legislation to cope with problem. The governor Bills signed Automobiles—provides that the second conviction for drunk driving will mean suspension of driver's license for one year, providing second conviction is within seven years after first (Senator Judah, Santa Cruz); provides that a non-resident arrested for violation motor vehicle law violation may be taken immediately before nearest magistrate. Mental hospitals — Protects health officers from liability when seeking admission of mentally ill persons to state hospital (Assemblyman Hubser, Gilroy). Eggs—Makes it illegal to make any false statement on the source of eggs (Assemblyman Hubser, Gilroy). Cattle—Makes it a misdemeanor to obstruct tuberculin tests by concealing or substituting animals (Assemblyman Hansen, Fresno). Child aid—Prohibits relief to needy children if family owns personal property valued at $600 (by Senator Hulse, El Centro); requires county supervisors to reward them with a misdemeanor for a tavern to employ anyone soliciting drinks for pay. The vote against the measure was four to three. A bill by Assemblyman G. D. Morris (R-Los Angeles) requiring judges to revoke the license of any tavern violating liquor laws a third time never came to a vote. Neither did a bill by Assemblyman C. V. Porter (D-Compton) requiring everyone purchasing liquor to carry a state-issued identification card. Porter said this would cut down juvenile delinquency by making it almost impossible for youngsters to falsify their ages. But Assemblyman Thomas J. Doyle (D-Los Angeles) replied, "to administer this, it would take enough men to win the Korean war." Air Strength Race On with Russians WASHINGTON (P)—Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg declared today the United States must maintain an Air Force able to destroy Russia's air power "and destroy it promptly." Testifying at the Senate's MacArthur hearings, Vandenberg described the U.S. Air Force as the "big stick," or at least the "fairly large club" guarding the world against a new global war. But he said the present force may become only a "willow wand" as Russia increases her air power and atomic weapons stockpile. Vandenberg, the Air Force Chief of Staff, plugged for a continued build-up of air strength in the midst of questioning from members of a Senate Inquiry committee about the removal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur from his commands. On the MacArthur issue, he had a sharp exchange with Senator Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) who declared that Vandenberg had been just as critical of Korean police as MacArthur ever was. Hickenlooper suggested that raised a question as to whether Vandenberg should resign or be removed as Chief of the Air Force Van- in the theater. But in a lineup of men at Buena Park; she picked a newspaperman as the suspect. Davis and Musick would like to contact the woman who sat beside Patty, to corroborate the identification of McCracken if possible. The state has two witnesses, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Reynolds of Downey, who say they saw McCracken and a girl answering Patty's description as to appearance and clothing, coming from the theater at 5:30 p.m., and headed toward the Pine motel, where McCracken lived. Another witness, Hollis Holland, also a resident of the motel, said he saw McCracken enter his cabin at about that hour, accompanied by a girl who answered Patty's description. Bloodstains found in the cabin and in the trunk of a car borrowed by McCracken that evening indicated that Patty had been slain there and carried in the car to the grave where she was found nearly a week later in Live Oak canyon. MIRANDY TO SPEAK TO FUCHSIA SOCIETY "Mirandy," garden lecturer, will be the featured speaker tonight when the Orange county branch of the National Fuchsia society meets in American Legion Hall at 936 N. Lemon st., Anaheim, at 8 p.m. An added attraction will be the sale of approximately 20 plants after the meeting. An important subject of discussion will be the Fourth Annual Fuchsia show to be held July 7 and 8 in the South Gate civic auditorium. The Orange county chapter is planning to enter a booth in the show. Santa Ana Station To Participate in Mock Air Attack NEWBURGH (P)—Night training in plane spotting will be given to 210,000 civilian volunteer members of the ground observer corps in a 36-hour exercise set to start Saturday morning, June 23. Twenty-three states will participate. About 8000 observation posts and 26 filter centers will be manned in the northeast, Great Lakes and west coast regions. U.S. Air Force planes will make special flights through these areas. The night training, ordered by the air defense command, is the first for the observers since September, 1949. The filter centers to participate include: Oakland, Pasadena and Santa Ana. Parent 'Inarched' RIVERSIDE (P) — The 78-year-old parent tree of Southern California's naval orange trees has been given a new set of roots. Dr. L. J. Kfota of the Citrus Experiment station here said yesterday it is the second time the old tree has been treated by this method. The first time was in 1917. The process, known as "inarching" is accomplished by planting seedlings around the tree's base with the young stems grafted into the trunk. The seedlings take the place of the old roots. It was decided to attempt rejuvenation of the old tree because it was losing its foliage. The process also is being used on first Marsh grapefruit tree, brought here from Florida in 1899. Anaheim Gazetteer BY JOHN S. NEUBAUER I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way—Psa. 101:2. BACKGROUND — Anaheim's history actually begins with the gold rush in 1848. If the precious yellow metal hadn't been discovered in the auriferous sands, January 24, 1848, by James Wilson Marshall, Anaheim, as we know it, might never have been. The epochal migration to the goldfields brought thousands of fortune hunters to California. With them came the solid citizens, tradesmen, hordes of gamblers, thieves, barlots and such felonious parasites. Naturally, the founders of Anaheim came along with this westward surge. They weren't satisfied with conditions in San Francisco. GOLDEN GATE—Actually, San Francisco came into being on January 30, 1847, when the Alcalde changed its name from Yerba Buena. More than that, gold transformed the once peaceful hamlet into a bawdy, bustling bedlam of mudholes and shanties. It was impossible for the hard-working God-fearing men who became Anaheimers to plow their trader. Pressure on To Rule Out 344 Valenclas Pressure will be on the Orange administrative committee this week to rule out size 344 Valenclas from fresh fruit shipments. Joe Imhof, general sales manager for Mutual Orange Distributors, California's second largest citrus marketing co-operative, promised that he would spearhead the fight for elimination of the 344s when the prorate committee meets for its weekly session Thursday. Size 392 is already restricted from movement in fresh fruit channels. Imhof says he has the support of independent shippers. He will base his plea for the size restriction on the fact that "the smaller fruit is already being heavily discounted in eastern markets even before the full impact of Valencia shipments is being felt." On the other hand, larger sizes are bringing fairly good prices thus far. Imhof said. "But for every box of 344s that is purchased at a large discount, another box of 252s and 288s loses that particular buyer and is immediately reflected in the prices of the other sizes." "If the 344s most of the season are going to bring less than cost of production, just why does Annaheim—it had two 'n's' then—on December 15, 1859. It was not Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 78. High for the previous 24 hours was 82 at 3 p.m. yesterday. Low was 57 at 6 a.m. today. California insist on supporting the railroads and shook manufacturers by putting them east and settling for "red ink." Imhof argues. "It merely results in pulling down grower returns per box per acre on other more merchantable fruit," he declared. Meanwhile, intermingling of varieties of Southern California citrus is fast drawing to a close. Late shipments of navels were fetching as high as $0.07 per box for the week ending May 19, against $4.82 for Florida offering of Valencias. Information from Florida indicates that area will be out of the fresh fruit picture before July 1. COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT WHITTIER COLLEGE WHITTIER—A week of signif cant activity lies just ahead for 287 Whittiier college seniors at the Golden Anniversary commencement week for the Poet School begins Sunday, June 3 with the traditional baccalaureate services in the First Friend church. Graduation week, June through June 9, will be climaxed by final exercises in the Herber B. Harris amphitheatre on the latter date. Dr. Rufus B. von Klein-Smid, chancellor of the GOLDEN GATE—Actually, San Francisco came into being on January 30, 1847, when the Alcalde changed its name from Yerba Buena. More than that, gold transformed the once peaceful hamlet into a bawdy, bustling bedlam of mudholes and shanties. It was impossible for the hard-working Godfearing men who became Anaheimers to ply their trades. Hotel rooms cost $250 a month; a bunk in a garret or tent cost $20 to $30 a week. Rentals and real estate values were correspondingly high. A canvas tent, 15 by 25, rented for $40,000 a year. It was not uncommon for a small business office to rent for $1,000 a month. There were 500-odd saloons in 1855, gambling houses and bordellos. Society was at its lowest ebb. One’s rights became a personal matter. As a matter of course men went armed. Disputes were settled “on sight,” homicide was much too common to excite comment. There was no law enforcement. ROUGH — Such an existence was not for the thrifty, hardworking Germans. When they got together and organized the Los Angeles Vineyard association February 24, 1857, history was made. Otmar Caler acted as chairman of that historic meeting at which profit and advisability of grape culture was discussed by George Hansen who was familiar with Southern California terrain. PROGRESS—Four days later, on February 28, 1857, the group met again to elect officers. Caler was elected president; Charles Kohler, vice-president; John Fischer, secretary, and Cayus Beythlen, treasurer. Shares were sold and Hansen appointed superintendent of the colonization venture. Difficulty was encountered, however, when the society’s representatives failed in its objective to obtain property from Plo Plo or the owners of the Rancho Santa Gertrudes. Anaheim might have been where Downey now is or somewhere in the San Gabriel valley. Annaheim—it had two “n’s” then—on December 15, 1859. It was not until sometime in 1860, however, that the headquarters was officially transferred from San Francisco. POSTSCRIPT—The location of Anaheim was once considered a hindrance to its development now it is a blessing. Advertisers!

Difficulty was encountered, however, when the society's representatives failed in its objective to obtain property from Plo Plco or the owners of the Rancho Santa Gertrudes. Anaheim might have been where Downey now is or somewhere in the San Gabriel valley. August Langenberger, Don Pacifico Ontiveras' son-in-law, however, was a German himself and at once became friendly toward the colonization idea and encouraged it. OBJECTIONS—There were objections to the site that was finally chosen as it was too far from Los Angeles and San Pedro, however, on September 15, 1857, it was agreed to purchase the tract that Ontiveras had offered. When Otmar Caler sold his share in the Southern California venture, he was no longer eligible to be president of the group who on February 28, 1858, proceeded to elect C. C. Küchel as their president. Kuchel, however, did not aspire to the office and wished to withdraw. He was then elected by acclamation. In June another election was held. Küchel was again chosen by acclamation; other officers were: Theodore Schmidt, Hugo Schenk, and John Fischer. PRELIMINARIES — Hansen supervised the surveying and laying out the colony in 50 25-acre tracts, streets and a public park. Had a willow fence built to keep the stray cattle out. An irrigation canal, six or seven miles in length was dug. The first colonists arrived in Advertisers!
