Story of Fred Want a job? Or a better one than you've got? Fred found some good advice in the Gazette's editorial columns. So can you. See Page 4. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM ALFONS TRABERT, POLITICAL EDITOR of a Frankfurt, Germany, newspaper and his wife, Eliza beth, sample American product of German origin, while visiting newly-found relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Alben Trabert, of the Pickwick Cafe, Anaheim. The Anaheim couple are from center to right German Newspaper Workers Pay Visit to the City of Anaheim Political editor of the Frankfurt Neue Presse of Germany, Alfons Trabert, spent two hours with a Gazette reporter yesterday, giving his impressions of this country and outlining current conditions in Europe. Mr. Trabert and his wife, Elizabeth, 23, are two of a group of five German newspaper representatives sent to the U.S., last September by the State Department to attend one year at the University of Missouri, to take any subjects they wished. Others in the group are Dieter Reiber, 25, city editor of the Stuttgart-Nachrichten; Karl Plesse, 24, of the Bremer Bremer Nachrichten, and Hans Albert, 22, of the Heilbronnner Stinne. At the end of the school term the students were allowed to stay here until Aug. 15, at which time they are to return to their jobs or to return to Germany. The five decided to stay here and tour the country. They pooled their allowance savings from the year, bought a 1940 sedan, and set out to see America in the old tradition of Americans in Europe. Inflation is obviously only an American affliction. These five newspaper representatives traveled 3200 miles and spent a total of $124 dollars. For repairs, $42, for gas and oil, $52, and for food and lodging, $30. That is the lump sum. Romance Blossoms And romance blossoms as easily in Missouri as in Paris, it appears. The Traberts met each other at the Frankfurt airport as the five representatives prepared to begin their year of American education. Seven months later Retailers Chart Long Range Plan Of Activities A long range comprehensive program designed to keep Anaheim abreast of the times and to co-ordinate retailers activities was approved by the retail merchants Executive board in session yesterday.

Walburg, Barney Jordan, Howard Louden, Joe Hurst, Oscar Heying and Walter Swanberger.

Matters concerning the dam at Carbon Canyon and highway improve. Two Surprised Motorists Find 'Horse on Them' The proverbial "horse sense failed to prevent one Orange county horse from being enrolled last night as one of the area's first four-legged traffic fatality. The horse was first struck on highway 101 south of Irvine by a car operated by William K Dickey, 34, of Wilmar. The car scooped the horse over its roof and the animal fell to the pavement at the rear of the car.

Seven months later (Continued on Page 8) Assembly Votes Boost in Liquor Tax for Rehabilitation of Drunks SACRAMENTO (P)—The Senate was offered the last word today on a proposal to bill the liquor industry for a state program to rehabilitate chronic alcoholics. Told that California leads the nation in drunkenness, the Assembly last night approved legislation 50 to 11 to boost liquor taxes enough to build and operate medical facilities for those who drink too much. The tax rider, voted out and then back in, calls for raising the hard liquor levy from 80 to 85 cents a barrel. The Assembly heard that would run about a penney a fifth for medium priced whisky. The bill carries $860,000 for two research centers and clinics in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The project is advocated by Governor Warren to substitute a scientific approach for the drunk-tank type of treatment. Warren did not recommend the liquor tax, however. Both Houses snapped into action with just five days to go before they fold up the 120-day session. The Senate Education committee gave the nod to an Assembly-passed bill raising state aid for schools by $48,000,000. But the measure faces its most important test tomorrow before the Senate's Finance committee—known as an economy group. The Assembly sent another school money bill to the upper house. It appropriates $8,500,000, mostly for fast-growing districts. Assemblyman Robert C. Kirkwood (R-Saratoga) said the bill might be used as a compromise vehicle if the $48,000,000 request falls. The Assembly voted down, 47 to 27, a proposal to increase the amount of earnings to qualify for unemployment insurance. The bill was offered by Assemblyman Richard J. Dolwig (R-South San Francisco) to save $17,000,000 a year in jobless payments. Opponents asserted it would deny benefits to 81,000 workers. TO FLY AGAIN—Many of the more Park.

The new law keeps the draft in operation until July 1, 1955, and permits the induction of 18½ year-olds for military service if local draft boards exhaust their supply of older eligible men. It makes no change in the present maximum draft age of 25. The present law, which would have expired on July 9, prohibited the induction of anyone under 19.

Fierce lighting broke out when the advance carried the Allies to the crest of a ridge looking down on a red supply area. A see-saw battle broke out and was the only noteworthy action along the front. It was still under way last night. The dominating ridge changed hands six times in the afternoon. Heavy red artillery and mortar fire burst at tree top level along the wooded hills. U.N. 155 and 105 mm. field pieces roared back. And 4.5 inch rockets streaked into red positions. The drive carried Allies within artillery range of a mountain area alive with red activity. A corps spokesman said the communists may be building up there for a new offensive. Eighty miles to the northwest communist shore batteries fought an hour and a half artillery duel with besieging United Nations warships. The shore-to-sea battle erupted Monday afternoon at Wonsan, east coast port besieged more than four months. Accurate fire burst close to U.N. warships and shrapnel splattered on the decks. Marine Corsair fighter planes and naval gunfire silenced the shore batteries. "The red guns scored many near misses," the Navy said, "but only slight shrapnel punctures were inflicted on U.N. ships." American planes swept freely through a cloudless sky and hammered reds across North Korea. Four U.N. planes were shot down Monday. U.N. patrols fanned out along the front. They met little opposition Monday except in the central sector around Kumhwa, eastern anchor of the Iron Triangle. Tank traps and mine fields were their greatest problem.
