VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Truman’s Foreign Aid Program Gets One Billion Cut WASHINGTON (AP)—A House committee reportedly has agreed tentatively to lop $1,000,000,000 from President Truman’s $8,500,000,000 foreign aid program and place the entire program under a new high-level official. The decision—subject to possible reversal later—was reported last night by members of the House Foreign Affairs committee. Although some members were absent when the agreement was reached yesterday at a closed door session, those present said they didn't expect a reversal. The committee plan would place both economic and military aid under a new administrator, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. He would be responsible only to the President would work closely with the State and Defense departments. Such a plan could be expected RENO, Nev., Aug. 9—Showing a complete reversal of his recent dealings with newsmen, Crooner Frank Sinatra (left) cordially tells reporters and photographers here today of his plans for Nevada divorce from Nancy Sinatra so he can marry movie siren Ava Gardner.

(AP) — Crooner Frank Sinatra announced today The committee plan would place both economic and military aid under a new administrator, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. He would be responsible only to the President would work closely with the State and Defense departments. Such a plan could be expected to gain support from Republican forces which have been pressing for removal of foreign aid direction from Secretary of State Acheson. Committee members said the proposed money cuts would hit military and economic aid. So far, most of the talk in Congress has centered on reductions in the economic side of the program. Meanwhile, a brisk Senate fight appeared brewing over the President's program of military and economic aid to Formosa, island stronghold of the Chinese Nationalists. Jap Peace Treaty Plan May be Red Propaganda Target WASHINGTON (AP) — United State officials expressed confidence today that a Japanese peace treaty will be signed at San Francisco next month despite expected strong Soviet opposition. Secretary of State Acheson told a news conference yesterday he was sure the Kremlin would wage a propaganda campaign aimed at disrupting the treaty conference scheduled to open Sept. 4. However, other officials were unable to foresee any action the Soviets might reasonably be expected to take which could succeed in disrupting the session. Acheson's prediction grew out of a discussion of Soviet President Nikolai Shvernik's letter to President Truman earlier this week. Responding to a letter Mr. Truman had written him, Shvernik advocated a five-power "peace pact" which would include red China. Acheson challenged the Soviets to back up their avowed interest RENO, Nev., Aug. 9—Showing a complete reversal of his recent dealings with newsmen, Crooner Frank Sinatra (left) cordially tells reporters and photographers here today his plans for Nevada divorce from Nancy Sinatra so he can marry movie siren Ava Gardner. "Nancy has no objection to my filing for the divorce," he said.—(Associated Press Wirephoto) Sinatra Renews Friendship with Newsmen; Admits Seeking Divorce RENO, Nev. (AP) — Crooner Frank Sinatra announced today he will divorce his wife Nancy so he can marry movie siren Ava Gardner. The entertainer talked affably with newsmen in his suite at the Riverside hotel, where he opens a $25,000 two-week singing engagement tonight. "I'm going to file for divorce while I'm here," said Sinatra. "Nancy didn't want to come up here for the divorce, but she has no objection to my filing for it." He said money matters and custody of their three children were settled in their separation agreement some time ago. Under terms of that agreement, Mrs. Sinatra gets one third of his income. Asked if he would marry Miss Gardner—with whom he has been romancing in the U.S., Spain and Mexico—Sinatra grinned and said: "I would assume so." Sinatra described his recent squabble with news reporters in Mexico, Los Angeles and elsewhere as exceptions to his usual dealings with the press. "The reason I got sore," he said, "is because I got some pretty rough handling from a couple of guys. They either tried to push me around or were unfair. Someone in the group suggested that perhaps Frankie was a little hotheaded. "Oh, I don't know," he answered. "Wouldn't you be hotheaded if someone started pushing you around? We've got some rights." The singer said he won't know until he talks with his lawyers when the divorce will be. Under Nevada law he must remain in the state six weeks until a suit may be filed. Asked why Mrs. Sinatra had a change of heart—and agreed to give him a divorce, the erooner replied: "I can't answer that because I" Tale of a Big, Mean Dog... Guxette circulation manager Don Young, came up with a name one the other day.

Swift Justice Sets Execution Of John Odle Execution of John Calvin G8, Santa Ana machinist who his wife, Arvilla Odle, 52, to do in a down-town Santa Ana station store, May 6, 1950, has set for Friday, Aug. 16, at 10 am in the San Quentin gas chamber.

City Engineering Department Hard At Work on Anaheim’s Fair Exhibit The City Engineering department will submit Anaheim’s exhibit for the Orange County fair this year. The exhibit will be a 1-50 scale model of the Anaheim business district with present and future indications of the city parking plan. The original model was made in 1946 by Ralph Milbery of molding clay and cardboard. It was soon started after a parking lot survey was made in 1945 by Gordon Whitnall and Millard Parks, both of the engineer’s office. Two weeks ago Winn F. Friday, chief draftsman, started to work on the model. He changed many of the buildings and the zoning, and arranged the original plan in order to show present and future parking lots, planned and built by the department. Priday formerly did similar work on models for the Oregon State highway department and for Consolidated Steel in Wilmington. He says the models are better for detailed description, for exact scaling, dimension and perspective description. Later on Mr. Holyoke stated, the department will use models more extensively on planned projects such as freeways, industrial districts, etc. Not only will the model be exhibited to the county in the fair, but photos of the actual lots and general surveys will be on display giving detailed descriptions of cost to build, upkeep, drainage sources, entrances and exits. The plans for the parking improvements are still closely related to the original plans made in 1946. In a great many cases the department has ASSISTED merchants and industries to plan and build their own private parking lots. Aside from these, there are to be 12 more lots built in the future. Ten are now finished and in use in Anaheim’s business area. Total number of parking lots to be in use eventually will be 22.

NAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1951 Reds Bruskly Promise Ka Charge Allies Machine-Gu Admiral Joy Denies Any Such Incident; Notes Discrepancy TOKYO (P)—The communist cease-fire delegation today charged—and the U.N. senior delegate firmly denied—that Allied warplanes attacked a red supply truck between Kaesong and Pyongyang Tuesday in "a clear violation of the agreement between both sides." The charge was contained in a note addressed to Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, senior Allied delegate to the Kaesong talks. It was signed by Lt. Gen. Nam Il, top red delegate. Admiral Joy replied that the red charge was "completely with- Tanks Lumber Into Quiet Pyongyang U.S. Eighth Army Headquarters, Korea (P)—Tank-led United Nations forces lumbered through the mud into Pyonggang yesterday and found that red troops had abandoned their former "Iron Triangle" stronghold for the second time. The Allied force was in the city for an hour and then withdrew. It was the first time in three weeks that U.N. forces had penetrated the town on the central front, 28 miles north of the 38th Parallel. Communists put up determined resistance against Allied patrols elsewhere on the central and western fronts. There were sharp, brief fights, southwest, south and southeast of Kumsong as Allied patrols probed toward that now Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 79. High for the previous 24 hours was 85 at 4 p.m. yesterday. Low was 64 at 6 a.m. today.

(Gazette photo by Anita Roberts) ZETTE 1951 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month NUMBER 201 Ise Kaesong Neutrality; nine-Gunned Truce Truck No Date Set Yet For Resumption Of Peace Talks TOKYO (P)—A sharp message from the communist command last night told Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway there should be no new violations of the Korean conference site "unless you should deliberately fabricate incidents as an excuse to terminate armistice negotiations." The armistice talks have been suspended since Saturday on General Ridgway's complaint that armed Chinese communist troops entered the supposedly neutral conference zone of Kaesong. The reds promised Sunday not to let it happen again. But the supreme United Nations commander demanded a firm guarantee before IN TRUST—Lawyer George Chula, left, and his associate James Monroe, today renewed efforts to change venue of the murder trial of Henry Ford McCracken (center), to some other county and have it delayed 30 days. Meanwhile, approximately half of the 50 veniremen for a jury for a new murder trial next Monday had been selected.

Tobey (R-NH) today reported "in seclusion" recovering "slowly but surely" from a nebulous hemorrhage suffered July Notice of a motion for change of venue in San Francisco or some other county, was filed in Superior court today by George Chula, attorney for Henry Ford McCracken, whose second trial on a murder charge is scheduled to start next Monday morning before a new jury in Judge Robert Gardner's court. Chula also moved for a delay of at least 30 days in the second trial. Chula's affidavit, attached to the notice given the district attorney the motion for change of venue, declared that McCracken cannot receive a "fair and dispassionate trial" in Orange county. This is evident, he contends, from "the manner in which people and the press accepted the verdict" in the first trial which ended in a jury disagreement. The motion is expected to be heard by Judge Gardner tomorrow morning during the regular Friday morning criminal calendar. Chula attempted to obtain a change of venue to San Francisco or elsewhere preceding the first trial, on similar grounds. He declared that the people of the county were so aroused by the character of the crime, the alleged kidnapping and slaying of little less you should deliberately fabricate incidents as an excuse to terminate armistice negotiations." The armistice talks have been suspended since Saturday on General Ridgway's complaint that armed Chinese communist troops entered the supposedly neutral conference zone of Kaesong. The reds promised Sunday not to let it happen again. But the supreme United Nations commander demanded a firm guarantee before agreeing to resume the negotiations. The reds in turn have accused the Allies of violating the zone. The latest red reply, broadcast by the Pelping radio late Thursday night, said red guards again had been ordered to "adhere strictly" to the neutrality agreement around Kaesong. It invited the Allied delegates to return to Kaesong. However, it then raised the question of the Allies fabricating incidents. It added, "on our part, we definitely will not terminate the negotiations rashly and irresponsibly without going through the procedural steps of protest, investigation, consultation and settlement should a similar failure on your part occur." The red reply, signed by Generals Kim Il Sung and Peng Tehual, was first broadcast in Chinese. As translated into English by hearers in Tokyo, it omitted the "deliberately fabricate" angle and sounded generally much more polite in tone than the official English version which was heard a little later. The English version is regarded as the official one, however. The U.N. command distributed it to correspondents. The long delayed reply to a message to U.N. commander sent Tuesday was linked with a red complaint the Allies themselves had violated a neutrality agreement. This complaint was rejected as unfounded. An open communist violation of Kaesong's neutrality had led Ridgway to break off negotiations until the reds guaranteed it wouldn't happen again. Tuesday Ridgway demanded "complete compliance." The motion is expected to be heard by Judge Gardner tomorrow morning during the regular Friday morning criminal calendar. Chula attempted to obtain a change of venue to San Francisco or elsewhere preceding the first trial, on similar grounds. He declared that the people of the county were so aroused by the character of the crime, the alleged kidnapping and slaying of little 10 year old Patty Hull, that McCracken could not obtain a fair trail.

The newspaper added that “several” leading officials of the communist youth movement had been fired and arrested because of a breakdown in supply and organization for the festival, which has massed a half million youngsters into battered East Berlin. West Berlin press reports also claimed that the blue-shirted East German communist youths had engaged in several fights with “People's police” who tried to bar them from visiting West Berlin. But as the festival went into its fifth day many communist youths were still coming over, often employing rushes to elude their police guards or circumvent street barricades and transportation hindrances. From the start of the festival there was evidence the communist bosses were having trouble, not only in keeping their young masses on the reservation but in supplying them. This was, in part, admitted today by the communist Berliner Zeitung which said that many of the youths were not getting their promised one daily hot meal because of insufficient personnel in the kitchens. Tens of thousands of the iron curtain youths have been catching warm meals free in West Berlin youth homes on their stolen visits across the sector borders.
