'Mad as a Hatter--With am By JOAN S. WHITE "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, especially now when two cost less than one will later." This conviction will bring hundreds of shoppers thronging to our downtown shopping center Thursday prepared to snap up their share of the sensational bargains in new fall merchandise offered for this one day only as part of city-wide Dollar Day. M'lady's full fashioned nylons, $1.00 per pair, tax included. Mens' sox, four pair for $1.00. House dresses, two for the price of one. House furnishings, sewing supplies, children's back-to-school clothing — you name it and you will find it during this one day jubilee of values with the price tag marked ridiculously low. "How come?" you might well ask, having attended July clearances of summer merchandise and noted the stiff prices of items slated for the fall season. "Have the merchants gone mad?" Mad as a hatter—with an ace up his sleeve. To put it simply, Dollar Day is a promotional plan sponsored by the Retail Division of the Chamber of Commerce. Through many years of semi-annual days, the merchants have brought people into the shopping center by offering tremendous values. This acquaints both men and women with the many advantages of shopping in Anaheim and thus builds business. Seeing Is Believing. Thursday, lots of folks will cover for the first time the big, conveniently located parking areas in town. They will use them once and they will keep using them. They will find, Good Deal! The thrifty shopper with an eye toward economy will find some un-heard-of bargains on the Dollar Day box page in today's Gazette. See page 7. VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Truman Orders End of Tariff Deals to Reds WASHINGTON (AP) — President Truman today ordered an end to tariff concessions granted to Russia, Red China, and certain satellite areas. The White House said Mr. Truman signed a proclamation which mentioned no countries by name End of Tariff Deals to Reds WASHINGTON (P) — President Truman today ordered an end to tariff concessions granted to Russia, Red China, and certain satellite areas. The White House said Mr. Truman signed a proclamation which mentioned no countries by name but paved the way for official notifications to be sent to the affected nations. Just how the action might affect Czechoslovakia was not made clear immediately. The State Department last night announced plans to cut off tariff concessions to red Czechoslovakia, and officials said Mr. Truman shortly would issue the required order. Last night's announcement was the second time the United States has struck out at the Prague regime since the arrest last April of Associated Press Correspondent William N. Oatis. Oatis was sentenced to 10 years in prison after a spy trial denounced here as a farce. On June 2, the United States announced a ban on travel to Czechoslovakia by American citizens. Mr. Truman signed today's proclamation under a provision of the recent trade agreements extension act requiring him to remove tariff concessions to Iron Curtain countries. A White House file showed that the first countries to be notified are Russia, red China, Albania, Lithuania, East Germany, part of Indochina, North Korea, Latvia, and Romania. Officials said the procedure relating to Czechoslovakia is a complicated one and that the State Department would have an explanation later. The decision to cut off trade concessions to that country was announced in a statement circulated among the nations belonging to the general agreement on tariffs and trade (GATT). They are scheduled to meet at Geneva Sept. 17. Kiwanis Clubmen WASHINGTON, July 31—PRESIDENT SIGNS CONTROL BILL—President Truman, tight lipped and grave looking, signs the new economic control bill tonight, condemning it as "gravely deficient" and "encouraging the return of black markets." The President said he affixed his signature "reluctantly."—(Associated Press Wirephoto) Truman Plans Further Demands for Control Bill with 'Teeth in It' WASHINGTON (P)—President Truman prepared today to hammer again on Congress' door for a "good, strong price control law" to replace what he called the "deficient" act signed last night. Mr. Truman emphasized that he accepted the new, one year Defense Production act—"the worst I ever had to sign—only because he could not risk the lapse of it's rent ceiling and strong priority control clauses. But the bitterly disputed law was on the books, and its Republican and Democratic backers defended it against the angry White House blasts. Their views were summed up by the veteran GOP leader, Rep. Halleck (Ind), who said: "It's a bill which, properly applied and administered, will effect control despite Mr. Truman's statements." At the center of the storm, Michael V. DiSalle's Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) hastily explored techniques for lifting October Draft Call Set at 41,000 Total WASHINGTON (P)—The defense department today called for the drafting of 41,000 men October—5000 for the Marine Corps and 36,000 for the Army. The total for the month is an increase of 6820 over that previously asked for September when the Army is to get 28,000 and the Marines 6180. The Marine Corps resorted Kiwanis Clubmen Give Playground Park Equipment Presentation of a third piece of playground equipment for La Palma park served as the highlight of a family night picnic meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club held last night at the park. Attended by more than 175 Kiwanis, their wives and families, the annual picnic offered much food and community singing. The piece of playground equipment, a merry-go-round, is the third piece of equipment donated in as many years, the club previously having given the park a teeter-totter and jungle gym. In charge of the project was the club's youth activity committee, composed of Tommy Thomason, chairman; E. D. Seekins and Dr. John Brastad. Vic Reudy, park manager, accepted the gift. Purchase of the equipment was largely made possible through a recent second-hand article club auction at which time Dr. Brastad's platinum orchid plaat netted high money honors, going for $35. At the center of the storm, Michael V. DiSalle's Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) hastily explored techniques for lifting price ceilings to the levels now required. DiSalle ordered thousands of price roll-backs—and a goodly number of roll-forwards—into effect last night in the final hours before Mr. Truman signed the new measure. New ceilings, held back for a month during the Congressional debate, were applied to consumer items like radios, television sets, refrigerator and other home appliances, shoes, apparel, cotton textiles, wool yarns and fabrics, machinery, chemicals and many building materials. By rushing the orders out last night, OPS avoided the immediate necessity of rewriting the ceiling to conform to the new act, which entitles each manufacturer to pass on buyers his full business cost increases up to July 26. Individual price adjustments must now be made. A month ago OPS said the orders would bring consumers more rollbacks than increases. Today it said the impact on family budgets is "uncertain." Yesterday brought five other WASHINGTON (AP)—The fense department today called for the drafting of 41,000 men in October—5000 for the Marine Corps and 36,000 for the Army. The total for the month is an increase of 6820 over that previously asked for September when the Army is to get 28,000 and the Marines 6180. The Marine Corps resorted to the draft in August for the first time since the start of the Korean campaign. Under the call, October will be the third month of drafting for the Marines. In the August-October period the Marines expect to draft 18,100 men in addition to obtaining recruits through a continuing volunteer program. The October call for 41,000 the highest monthly draft quotation since March when 80,000 men were requested, all for the Army. Drafting dropped to a low point in the Korean war period in July when only 15,000 men were induced by the Army. Servicemen Hurt In Auto Crash Two servicemen received major injuries at 3 a.m., yesterday after a headon crash of automobile they were driving on Highway 101 a mile north of Galivan overpass near San Juan Capistrano. The drivers, Joseph A. Aucolin 30, Camp Pendleton Marine, and Donald Filler, 19, sailor from San Diego, were taken to the El Toro Marine base dispensary.

(P)—Air Force and Civil Air Patrol planes set an intensive search of desert wastelands today for a California salesman flier and his girl friend, forced down more than two weeks ago. Little hope was held of finding Klaus Martens, 28, of Pasadena; and June Walker, 22, student nurse of South Pasadena, alive. Martens’ small plane was found in the desert about 50 miles southeast of Yuma yesterday. The young couple left East Los Angeles for Blythe, Calif., Sunday, July 15. A note in the undamaged plane read: “We’re leaving the plane at 5:45 a.m., Monday morning and we’re walking west.” An arrow drawn in the sand indicated the direction. The closest town was Wellton, 33 miles east of Yuma. But nothing has been heard of the couple. Temperatures on the desert range up to 130 degrees in July and August.

"In those days, storekeepers really went out and bought for Dollar Day same as they do now," says Mr. Renner. "For Dollar Day, 1921 or 1951, S.Q.R. takes pride in exceptional vaues in every department. Since our emphasis is always on the highest quality, the savings are terrific."

(Associated Press Wirephoto) McCracken Case Jurors Pay Visit to Buena Park Cabin Death Site Jurors in the murder trial of Ly Ford McCracken, 34-year-old guitar player, were taken by from the court house in Santa Ana shortly before noon today, to inspect the motel cabin where McCracken is accused of murdering Patty Hull, 10. Buena Park school girl on the afternoon of May 19. The jury, after nine hours of apparently fruitless deliberation on the three charges against McCracken, child-s stealing, kidnapping and murder, requested permission to view the cabin. After a few minutes of conference between Judge Robert Gardner, Prosecution Attorney James L. Davis, and defense attorney George Chula, busses were recruited to transport the jury to the Buena Park motel. The jury's specific reason for requesting the inspection was not disclosed. The jury started its deliberations at 4:05 p.m., Tuesday, after District Attorney James L. Davis U.N. ADVANCE HEADQUARTERS, Korea (P) — Truce teams today will attempt once more to break a deadlock on a buffer zone in Korea amid uncompromising talk from both Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, and Washington. The Pyongyang radio declared North Korea never would accept a line proposed by the United Nations delegation which would leave Allied troops in control of good fighting terrain north of the 38th Parallel. It again called for a buffer zone along the 38th, old political boundary between North and South Korea. It also asserted if the truce talks broke up it would be "their (American) responsibilities." In Washington, Secretary of State Acheson told a news conference that the 38th Parallel as a buffer zone is not acceptable. The terrain along the parallel offers no good line of defense. United Nations and communist truce teams yesterday refused to budge from their opposing stands. Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief U.N. delegate, talked for an hour and 13 minutes telling the reds what was wrong with their demand. It was the longest speech that has been made in the 16 Kae-song cease-fire talks. The communists want a buffer zone along the 38th Parallel, the old political boundary line between North and South Korea. That is inferior terrain for military defenses. "Since this is a military armistice," Joy told the five red generals, "we are interested only in military realities." The U.N. insists that the ceasefire zone be established along present battle lines, where both armies would be in good defensive positions.

Davis had delivered a blistering denunciation of the crime, and the suggestion by defense counsel that sheriff's officers had tampered with the dead body of the child to create evidence of a criminal attack. Davis termed Defense Counsel George Chula's suggestion a "new low" in legal practice and countered it with strong praise for Sheriff James Musick's conduct of the investigation, and police work which located the buried body of Patty Hull in Live Oak canyon, five days after she was slain on May 19. After an hour out for dinner, the jury resumed its deliberations in the evening. Shortly after 10 p.m., Foreman Waldo H. Wilder of Garden Grove asked for exhibits in the case, including a kitchen chair from McCracken's motel cabin; a sketch of the cabin's floor plan made by Chemist Jack Cadman of the sheriff's office, and an enlarged photograph of Patty's head, showing the multiple scalp wounds and fractures that were said to have killed her.

Building Permit Total for July Twice Last Year Anaheim Building department more than doubled the building permits issued through June this year during the month of July, Building Inspector Homer Wallace reported today. July permits totaled $2,092,945 to bring the total to date for 1951 to $3,596,568. Total for July last year was only $1,604,387 and the total for 1950 to July 1 was $4,-102,917. The exceptionally high total for last month was due to the issuance of permits for industrial structures, namely the Daystrom Furniture Corp. plant at South st. and the Santa Fe tracks and the Northrop plant at 500 E. Orange-thorpe. Only 18 permits were issued during the month for dwelling units, eight of which were for multiple family dwellings; the other for single family structures. Total for dwelling units was $167,-500. A total of only 29 permits was issued to make last month's total while 202 permits were issued during July, 1950, Wallace said.
