VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANA Anaheim American Legion Inaugurates Member Drive Willis Warner Explains Delay On Prado Project Why Orange county’s $300,000 investment in pipe lines to salvage waste water from Prado basin remains idle in the face of a severe water shortage, was explained to the Associated Chamber of Commerce membership in Orange last night by Chairman Willis H. Warner of the county supervisors. Riverside and San Bernardino county water interests are delaying the program while they conduct engineering investigations to determine whether salvage operations would lower their water levels, Warner explained. Warner’s statement was made in answer to a question from the floor: The Anaheim post of the American Legion announced today that it is undertaking a spirited membership campaign to acquaint the estimated 500 non-Legion veterans of this area with the purposes and programs of the American Legion. The membership campaign is in line with a statement by the newly elected state commander, John Home, that California Legion posts will in the next few months broaden their memberships to provide more manpower for American Legion civic and veteran programs. Phillip L. Webb, commander of Anaheim’s American Legion Post 72, said today the organization is anxious to invite local eligible veterans to join the Legion, but in many cases the local Legionnaires do not know who the prospective members are. “Consequently,” Commander Webb said, “we want every veteran not now a member of the British Leaders Delay Decision About Moving Workers From Iran LONDON (AP)—British government leaders delayed a decision today on Iran's move to clear Britons from her nationalized oil properties by Oct. 4.

Prime Minister Clement Attlee called the full session of the cabinet for tomorrow, to follow the return of Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison and Defense Minister Phillip L. Webb, commander of Anaheim's American Legion Post 72, said today the organization is anxious to invite local eligible veterans to join the Legion, but in many cases the local Legionnaires do not know who the prospective members are. "Consequently," Commander Webb said, "we want every veteran not now a member of the Legion to consider this a direct and cordial invitation to make application for membership—or just come around and join the local Legionnaires in a meeting. And, we again extend an invitation to past members to renew their pledges." If there are any veterans who feel they must wait for an invitation to apply for membership, I sincerely hope they will consider they have that invitation." Commander Webb said. "In most cases we just simply don't know who the non-Legion members may be, but they may be assured that we are anxious to get acquainted with all the veterans in Anaheim. Therefore, we wish they would drop around to a meeting or get in touch with our adjutant, Charles Schmitt, telephone Anaheim 3790." The Anaheim post meets on the first and third Monday of each month at the Legion hall, 936 N. Lemon st. Commander Webb invited any veteran wishing to do so to drop around at the hall any time it is open and get acquainted.

Duval, 1315 W. North st., Anaheim, has had more trouble with his son, Jim's, pigs than any one man should.

After the flurry Mr. Duval and his son, Jim, moved the animals to Yermo, on the border of Nevada. Last month the Duvals were unloading bales of hay for the pigs, when a 4-inch scorpion scored his mark. Mr. Duval is still getting shots to relieve him from the pain.

The Allies insisted that arrangements first be made to prevent further interruptions when the meetings are resumed. The reds made their repeat proposal at a meeting of Allied and communist liaison officers in Kaesong, Korea, site of the stalled cease-fire talks. It was the third and longest session held by the liaison teams in an effort to get the talks rolling again. The Wednesday meeting lasted one hour and 20 minutes.

An Allied release Wednesday night said: "The United Nations command liaison officers met with the communist officers at Kaesong at 10 a.m., today, Sept. 26, (8 p.m., EST, Tuesday). "The communist liaison officers proposed a meeting of the delegates at 10 a.m., Sept. 27, which proposal was answered by the United Nations command liaison officers that their instructions were to meet with the communist liaison officers to discuss conditions mutually satisfactory prior to the resumption of conference discussion by the delegations. "The meeting of the liaison officers was recessed by mutual agreement at 11:29 a.m." Thus the reds and Allies were right back where they started when the liaison talks began: The reds still were demanding immediate resumption of the truce talks by the full delegations. The U.N. command was insisting that the liaison officers agree on conditions which will prevent further interruptions of main armistice talks. At first his attorney, B.

COMMAND HEADQUARTERS, Korea (P)—Allied troops today destroyed or damaged 14 communist planes over northwest Korea in history's greatest day of all-jet battles. There were 256 jets in action. City Attorney Preston Turner said the permit, if granted, would be issued under terms of the zoning ordinance, which gives the council broad control powers to specify within the permit under what conditions the drilling may be done. This, Turner said, would give the Planning commission and Council time for further study and action on the proposed oil control ordinance. He explained further that, if first reading of a new oil control ordinance is held before the permit is granted, the permit may be qualified by terms of the ordinance when it becomes effective.

Medical experts backed up the optimism over King George and happy headlines in the morning papers hailed last night's bulletin No. 6. The report posted on the Buckingham palace fence for a waiting crowd, said the King had a comfortable day and ate for the first time. An earlier bulletin said ACTING chairman Francis E. Mutter (D-Penn.) of the House-American Activities sub-committee announced yesterday that the group will explore industries including defense plants in South-California. Meanwhile, the earrings on reds in movieland reel Friday in Washington.

A former president of the SWG, he admitted joining the communist party in 1938. He said he left it in 1955, when he decided communism was "stupid, blind and unworkable for the American people." At first his attorney, Benjamin Siegel, protested that Buchman was too sick to appear. Reporter countered that a government physician and Buchman's doctor considered him fit. The producer, one of the high-paid men in Hollywood, then covered his testimony with in-depth temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m., today at 72.

COMMAND HEADQUARTERS, Korea (UP)—Allied troops today destroyed or damaged 14 communist planes over northwest Korea in history's greatest day of all-jet battles. There were 256 jets in action. The number dwarfed all previous jet actions for a single day. Seventy-seven Allied jets tangled with 120 Russian-type MIGS in a roaring duel Wednesday morning over northwest Korea's MIG alley. It was the biggest single jet fight of all time. The U.S. Fifth Air Force said its pilots probably destroyed one red jet and damaged four. It said no Allied planes were lost. Then 24 American Thunderjets swooshed back into MIG alley in the afternoon and clashed with 35 MIGS. The score, as reported by Fifth Air Force: one MIG probably destroyed, eight damaged. It gave no report on the American planes. The afternoon battle was joined at 15,000 feet near Sinanju. The MIGs roared in fast and forced the Thunderjets to jettison their bomb loads before they had made their target runs. The two formations met headon in serious attack. They began firing when 3000 yards apart. The MIGs broke away at about 500 feet as the Thunderjets held steady. There were two more headon passes. Then the MIGs turned and streaked back to their Manchurian bases. Medical experts backed up the optimism over King George and happy headlines in the morning papers hailed last night's bulletin No. 6. The report posted on the Buckingham palace fence for a waiting crowd, said the King had a comfortable day and ate for the first time. An earlier bulletin said George continues to gain strength. A medical man said, "It is very good news indeed. It means the King is nearly out of the immediate crisis." One newspaper claimed the King's first meal consisted of gelatin and a few bits of steamed fish. Medical experts predict the 55-year-old king will enter another danger period about Saturday. They say there is a risk of late complications such as infection and "secondary hemorrhage." The king is confined to a palace sickroom for what is expected to be a long fight. His doctors cut out all or part of one lung affected by a disease they have not disclosed.
