Weddings Capilla de San Antopio, south of Anaheim has been the scene of many beautiful weddings. In fact, 10 per cent of all Orange county weddings take place there. See Home-Makers' Forum, Page 3. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM. One Dead and 47 Hurt in Weekend Highway Crashes One man was dead today and 47 persons were injured as a result of weekend traffic accidents in Orange county, as shown by reports of the California Highway Patrol. The wrecks included one having the largest number of casualties in the county's history—23 Mexican nationals having been injured when their truck crashed with a truck loaded with wheat at Orangethorpe and Melrose near Placentia Saturday. Norman L. Nebeker, 23, sailor from San Diego, died in Santa Ana Community hospital at 4 a.m. today of injuries received Sunday midnight on the Coast highway just north of Huntington Beach. Nine other persons were injured in a peculiar six-car wreck at that point. The accident was divided into two sections, each involving NORMAN L. NEBEKER, 23, sailor from San Diego, died in Santa Ana Community hospital at 4 a.m. today of injuries received Sunday midnight on the Coast highway just north of Huntington Beach. Nine other persons were injured in a peculiar six-car wreck at that point. The accident was divided into two sections, each involving three cars and each duplicating the other. A car driven by Ralph M. Hard, 23, Los Angeles, struck the rear of a car driven by Alfred W. Ales, 25, Los Angeles, and then caromed against the parked car of Charles E. Welty of Santa Ana. While this wreck was being untangled, a car driven by Turno Cobota, 23, Long Beach, slowed for the flares that had been placed on the highway and was struck in the rear by the car of Robert Donnelly, 21, of El Cajon. Donnelly's car then swerved and struck a second parked car belonging to John R. Pitcock, 46, of Pico. Nebeker was a passenger in the Donnelly car. Donnelly and another passenger, Robert Covey, 27, of El Cajon, received major injuries. Ray Sloan, 39, of Compton, a pedestrian, was caught between the Donnelly and Pitcock car, escaped with minor injuries. Also having minor injuries were Katherine Hard, 34, Los Angeles; Mrs. Esther Dye, 53, and Phyllis H. Ellis, 27, both of Pico; Bernice Donnelly, 18, El Cajon; Chiebo Wada, 22, of LaMedo, and Motsko Suglhara, Long Beach. All of the injured were taken to Santa Ana Community hospital. Six persons were injured at 10:30 p.m. Sunday when a box trailer in which they were riding behind the car of John Viera, 21, Long Beach sailor, was involved in a collision with two other cars driven by Elston S. Golson, 29, Camp Pendleton Marine and Jean L. Biscayart, 22, San Diego Sailor. The accident happened on the Coast highway at Los Patos ave., at Sunset Beach. Injured were Bill Dudley, 21; Samuel Delario, 24; and Robert Hogue, 28, all Sailors from Long Beach, and three girls, Doris Marr. ROUGH LANDING—After nosing this light plane into an orange grove, east of Placentia, Saturday afternoon, these men, two of them occupants of the craft, have good reason to smile. The trio (left to right): R. H. Schubert of Fullerton, Arvid Smith of Yorba Linda, and H. Singer of Yorba Linda (a friend who awaited their return from Atwood landing strip) told police that the plane had lost power. Two Grandmothers, Victims of Hoax, Get Stranded in Albuquerque SANTA FE UP—Two grandmothers, lured from New York to New Mexico last week on what appears to be a giant hoax, enjoyed themselves today at a Santa Fe resort. The two—Mrs. Mary Keiln, 55, of Clark Summit, Pa., and Mrs. Frank Licari, 51, of East Rockaway N.Y. — found themselves stranded in Albuquerque Friday with only $40 between them. They had thought they were bound on an expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles, won on a radio program (Truth or Consequences). The gag began with a purported long distance telephone call from Los Angeles during which an unidentified girl informed Mrs. Keiln she had won a trip for herself and a companion. Mrs. Keiln persuaded Mrs. Licari to accompany her. The caller advised Mrs. Keiln that plane reservations to Albuquerque would be waiting for the pair at the Scranton, Pa., airport. From Albuquerque, they were to go to Truth or Consequences, N.M., where a representative of the program would meet them and accompany them the rest of the way. African Safari Comes to AUHS Screen Tonight One of the most unusual wild animal moving pictures ever presented in Anaheim will be offered by St. Michael's Men's club tonight, at 8 p.m., when "African Safari" is shown at the high school auditorium. It is the story of an expedition planned for years by a group of American sportsmen headed by Roy Weatherby, gunsmith, who operates a large manufacturing plant on Manchester blvd. Lions, tigers, gorillas, rhino-ceroses, buffalo and practically every other type of large African animal are shown in their haunts in this beautiful technicolor production. The men of the expedition made long preparations and waited hours to secure thrilling close-up shots rarely equaled in any other wild animal film. The picture begins with scenes Long Beach sailor, was involved in a collision with two other cars driven by Elston S. Golson, 29, Camp Pendleton Marine and Jean L. Biscayart, 22, San Diego Sailor.

Injured were Bill Dudley, 21; Samuel Delario, 24, and Robert Hogue, 28, all Sailors from Long Beach, and three girls, Doris Marr. Negotiations in Maritime Strike Still Deadlocked NEW YORK (UP) — Shipowners and CIO marine engineers remained deadlocked today in the last remaining phase of a ten-day tie-up of American flag shipping on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Agreements over the week-end readied a majority of the idle ship crewmen for a return to work. The CIO American Radio association reached a "memorandum agreement" with 40 shipping companies early yesterday after a 21-hour session with federal mediators. Late Friday, the 52,000-member CIO National Maritime Union settled with the shipowners. But company negotiations with the CIO Marine Engineers Beneficial' association were adjourned Saturday night subject to call by federal mediators. A mediator said the deadlock came from the engineers "insistent on hiring-hall practices with regard to engineers of lower rank than chief." Keihn she had won a trip for herself and a companion. Mrs. Keihn persuaded Mrs. Licari to accompany her. The caller advised Mrs. Keihn that plane reservations to Albuquerque would be waiting for the pair at Scranton, Pa., airport. From Albuquerque, they were to go to Truth or Consequences, N.M., where a representative of the program would meet them and accompany them the rest of the way. But when the two women landed at Albuquerque, they learned no further arrangements had been made. And a check with offices of the Columbia Broadcasting System, which carries the radio program, and Trans-World Airlines, brought the information there was no record the trip had been authorized. TWA stepped in at that point and arranged tickets home for the grandmothers — each has five grandchildren—and a three day holiday at Bishop's Lodge here. Kwiksetters Take Annual Vacation Production departments at Kwikset Locks, Inc., have been closed down for the annual two-weeks employees' vacation period. Kwikset officials said today. During the vacation period, machinery will be repaired and cleaned ready for the employees when they return to the plant on July 9. Office workers and maintenance personnel are still on the job and will take their vacations later. Officials said the company has used this vacation procedure in the past since the nature of the all hands be on the job at the firm's operations requires all hands be on the job at the same time. Anaheim Soldier Tabbed 'Sailor For Day' in Korea Cpl. Stanley E. Hupton, USA, of Anaheim, was one of the men of the Third Division in Korea who recently took part in the "sailor for a day" program in the Seoul-Inchon area. Under this plan soldiers spend three days on board a Navy ship while an equal number of sailors sample life with the Army. Hupton was assigned to the landing ship dock USS Tortuga. On board members of the crew showed him through the ship and explained details of its operation. Hupton, who attended the Richmond high school enlisted in the Army in March, 1946. He has been in Korea since Feb., 1951. TEMPERATURES Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 77. Low was 60 at 6 a.m. today. State Library (20) Sacramento, Calif. NAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1951 Local Telephone Workers Join in Southland Strike Joining some 10,000 other Southern California workers between 60 and 80 CIO telephone employees of Anaheim's Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company went out on a contract improvement strike this morning. Local members of the union maintained a peaceful picket line in front of the company office at Chartres and Lemon sts. and also at the company garage, 1150 N. Lemon. Telephone operators who belong to a different union, passed through the picket line. "That makes it rather difficult for us to make our point stick," Don Parsons, a splice carrying a strike sign in front of the main office, pointed out. "We aren't getting the cooperation of the operators' union at present, but they have promised to study the situation." Truman's Talk Plans In Any 'Real Settle War Following Recommendations M’Arthur Hearing Comes to Close WASHINGTON (UP) — Senate hearings on the dismissal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur were closed today with testimony from a former Far Eastern Air Force general that "we made a mistake" by not bombing Chinese bases in Manchuria last fall. Major Gen.

"That makes it rather difficult for us to make our point stick," Don Parsons, a spiller carrying a strike sign in front of the main office, pointed out. "We aren't getting the cooperation of the operators' union at present, but they have promised to study the situation with an eye to full cooperation." One installation worker who didn't identify himself was rather pessimistic about the outcome of the strike. "About the only pressure we can exert on the company now is through not installing new equipment," he explained. "Telephone equipment is built to get along without major maintenance for about two years and department foremen will take care of small jobs, so we really can't do much without the cooperation of the operators. The strike just isn't organized enough." Strikers at the garage seemed to be making somewhat of a froule of the serious business of striking, according to one observer, who said they were laughing and singing to pass the slow hours. Company officials said the picketers have been peaceful and orderly in their conduct and that all of them are local workers—that no out-of-town picketers have been imported. Robert Rossberg, manager of the local office, has made this statement: "We will do our best to meet the public requirements for telephone service during this period. We recognize the urgent need for dependable service during the emergency period facing our country. Not only for the vital role the telephone plays in defense, but also for the normal operation of our company. "The majority of our people (Continued on Page 6) WASHINGTON (UP) — Senate hearings on the dismissal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur were closed today with testimony from a former Far Eastern Air Force general that "we made a mistake" by not bombing Chinese bases in Manchuria last fall. Major Gen. Emmett (Rosie) O'Donnell, who commanded the big bombers under MacArthur, said he questioned, however, that it would be wise now to make attacks on Manchuria. He said he is not sure the air forces could do it and "still retain the Sunday punch for Russia." O'Donnell was the 13th and last witness in the unprecedented hearings that publicly aired disputes over U. S. Far Eastern policies as well as the firing of MacArthur, one of the nation's World War II heroes. The hearings began May 3 and piled up a total of more than 2,000,000 words—enough to make a whole shelf of novel length volumes. When O'Donnell was dismissed from the witness chair Chairman Russell of the inquiry panel—made up of the Senate and Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees—announced: "This will conclude the oral testimony unless the committee decides by majority vote to reopen the hearings." Russell said he hoped to have the committee meet again Wednesday or Thursday to discuss future plans, such as additional written material to be placed in the bulky record. He said the 26 committee members also must decide whether to issue a report on their prolonged investigation and, if so, what type of report to draft. He declined to speculate on when the committee will issue a report, or reports; except to say it would be "a matter of weeks." TELEPHONE STRIKE—Maintenance, installation and accounting personnel of the Southern California Telephone Co. branch in Anaheim struck this morning with some 10,000 other CWA-CIO southland electrical workers, demanding revisions in the Bell, PT and T, and Southern California Telephone Co. contracts.

Talk Pledges Cooperation Real Settlement' of Korean Ving Red Peace Proposal Red Radio Endorses Proposal of Peace SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — The Chinese reds today endorsed the Soviet suggestion for a Korean cease-fire but implied that they still insisted on terms favorable to themselves. The statement that "the Chinese people fully endorse" Saturday's Soviet proposal was contained in a long, belligerent editorial by the People's Daily, broadcast in full by the Peiping radio. Bristling with the familiar red Reply a Portion Of Major Foreign Policy Talk TULLAHOMA (UP) — President Truman said today the United States is ready to join in a "real settlement" of the Korean war "which fully ends the aggression and restores peace and security." Mr. Truman; on this first anniverary of the communist attack on South Korea, said the reds United Airlines Pilots Willing To Return to Work CHICAGO (UP)—Striking United Air Lines pilots said last night they are willing to return to work under "a truce arrangement." The truce proposal was in a telegram to President Truman which was made public by David L. Behncke, president of the AFL Air Line Pilots association. United also sent a telegram to the President, but said its contents would have to be made public by the President: The President had earlier urged the pilots, "as good Americans," to end the strike "in order that the National Mediation Board may use its best efforts to effect an agreement." Behncke's telegram said in part: "After a 10-hour confluence today with representatives of the National Mediation Board, the pilots of United Air Lines have expressed a willingness to return to the service of United Air Lines under a truce arrangement." Schoepe's Leaving for European Trip Policy Talk TULLAHOMA (UP) — President Truman said today the United States is ready to join in a "real settlement" of the Korean war "which fully ends the aggression and restores peace and security." Mr. Truman, on this first anniversary of the communist attack on South Korea, said the reds suffered 1,000,000 casualties and have been thrown back "behind the line they started from." The president, in a major foreign policy speech, blistered Republican critics for "spreading fear and slander and lies" and trying to "destroy" Dean Acheson, whom he called "one of the greatest secretaries of state in our history." In guarded language, which did not mention Malik or his proposal specifically, the president told a crowd gathered to dedicate a new $157,500,000 air force testing center: "We are ready to join in a peace settlement in Korea now as we have always been. But it must be a real settlement which fully ends the aggression and restores peace and security to the area and to the gallant Korean people." In Korea and in the rest of the world we must be ready to take any steps which truly advance us toward world peace. But we must avoid like the plague rash actions which would take unnecessary risks of world war or weak actions which reward aggression." The president flew here from Washington to the Arnold Air Force engineering development center, to be devoted to the development of jet propulsion and supersonic flight power. His talk fairly bristled with denunciations of Republican supporters of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Korean policy and critics of Acheson, Secretary of Defense Marsh (Continued on Page 6) 35 Year Resident Of Anaheim Dies Julia A.
