VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Anaheim Daily Emits More ‘Smog’ To Obscure Facts on Cal-Vet Oil Lease Rules EDITOR'S NOTE: Anaheim has had difficulty appraising the opportunity presented the city by the projected controlled drilling for oil because of misinformation which has been circulated by the opponents of the Steele Oil Co. The Gazette has been pretty busy gathering up these statements and publishing the truth. You have read of them in the past. Unfortunately, Anaheim's oil-born and oil-borne newspaper, the Anaheim Bulletin, has deliberately (or because of misinformation which they didn't bother to check properly), published articles which were designed to obscure the correct facts in the case. Each time the Gazette has tried to clear away the smog and print the truth, not in the interests of the oil company—but in the interests of the Anaheim public. Today, we have another example of the misinformation being circulated to confuse the Anaheim public. We don't want to engage in a dog fight, but we feel someone must keep the oil situation on an even keel and an honest basis. In last night's Bulletin appeared an article headlined: Cal Vets Can't Sign Lease on Property Slick Chick Ball To Be Held on Saturday Night Announcement was made today of a change in date of the Slick Chick Masquerade Ball. Learning that the original date Oct. 19, would conflict with the Anaheim high-Santa Ana high traditional football battle co-chairmen Martha Schumacher and Marguerite Coons announced that the Ball will be held on the following night, Saturday, Oct. 20. The change was made in deference to the pupils of both schools, who the committee feels will wish to attend both events. Scene of the Ball will be the Anaheim Elks club with music furnished by Esper Kaiser's orchestra. Newest entrants in the race for the title of Miss "Slick Chick" are Miss Lucille Douthit, 17, 417 E. Adele, Anaheim, Miss Sharon La Bourdette, 16, 3242 E. Cerritos, Los Aalamitos; Elaine Brattloff, 16, 746 N. Clementine, Anaheim and Miss Joanne Clark, 537 W. Chestnut, Anaheim. Total of seven entered on Sept. 28. Each time the Gazette has tried to clear away the smog and print the truth, not in the interests of the oil company—but in the interests of the Anaheim public. Today, we have another example of the misinformation being circulated to confuse the Anaheim public. We don't want to engage in a dog fight, but we feel someone must keep the oil situation on an even keel and an honest basis. In last night's Bulletin appeared an article headlined: Cal Vets Can't Sign Lease on Property In the body of the article, J. G. Hille, manager of the Long Beach district office of the Department of Veterans Affairs, was indirectly quoted as saying "that vets cannot sign such (oil) leases because they do not have title to the property." The article proceeded to point out that veterans with homes under the GI Bill of Rights can sign leases because title to the property is in their names, but Cal Vets can't because the State retains title to the property. However—and here enters the "smog"—the Bulletin failed to point up properly the provision in the Cal-Vet contract, which the veteran purchaser signs and which the paper quoted at some length, that gives the veteran the right TO SIGN A LEASE, PROVIDED THE CONSENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS IS SECURED! Clarifying this particular provision and refuting the headlined claim of the Bulletin is the following letter, published verbatim, from the legal counsel of the Veterans Department of the State of California: COPY EARL WARREN Governor Daniel J. Callaghan, Jr. Director of Veterans Affairs J. Marvin Russell Division Manager George A. Comte Assistant Manager Russell House District Manager STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS DIVISION OF FARM AND HOME PURCHASES LEGAL DEPARTMENT 215 W. 7th Street, Los Angeles 14, Calif.

If we already own the property a form of consent to be executed by the veteran purchaser and this department should be executed; forms for this can be obtained at 110 in the State Bldg., Los Angeles, Calif. the Ball will be the Anaheim Elks club with music furnished by Esper Kaiser's orchestra.

Korean Armistice Talks Appear Headed for Complete Breakdown TOKYO (UP)—The suspended Korean armistice talks appeared near a complete breakdown today as Gen. Omar Bradley flew toward Japan—possibly to map strategy if full scale fighting erupts. The trip of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff was described by the U.S. Defense department as "one of the periodic visits" of staff members. The Washington announcement significantly added, however, that Bradley would "survey all aspects of the situation" with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, supreme Allied commander. The Chinese and North Koreans have not answered Ridgway's suggestion Thursday for getting the bogged down parley going again. He wanted the conference site switched from Kaesong, behind red lines, to the Songhyon area in no man's land. The village is six miles southeast of Kaesong. Observers said this could be Ridgway's last compromise proposal. The reds broke off armistice talks Aug. 23. They accused the United Nations of violating the neutrality of Kaesong. The charge was denied. Underscoring the pessimism were U.N. pilot reports of masses of enemy trucks moving toward the battle front and a flareup of red infantry attacks all along the battle line. Ridgway's headquarters in an unofficial release echoed the futility of the last six weeks of bickering and note exchanges. The reds, the release accused, sought resumption of the armistice parley on their own terms or a complete breakdown "out of sheer frustration." Ridgway wants the full delegations to "meet as early as possible at a place approximately midway between the battlelines in the vicinity of Songhyon." ANAHEIM GAZETTE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1951 Rebellion Breaks Out In Argentina But Is Squelched In Matter of Hours BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (P) The state radio announced rebellion and civil war broke out in Argentina today and was swiftly crushed, with its leaders in flight. A few hours after the reported surrender of the rebels, President Juan D. Peron appeared on the balcony of the presidential palace. A multitude of workers, ordered to the square by the government-controlled labor confederation, cheered his appearance. "A group of bad Argentinians dishonored the uniform of the fatherland." Peron told the crowd. "But most of our leaders and officials wear this uniform with honor." Peron declared there were many honorable soldiers who knew their duty to Argentina. He said the revolution was the work of an "insignificant minority" but the great majority of the armed forces supported the government. "To the scaffold!" yelled many in the crowd. Peron said officers responsible for the rising would face the inexorable. Previously the state radio had threatened death to any military man joining the revolt. By state account, the uprising lasted only a few hours. Shortly after announcing the outbreak of civil war, the radio said the revolt headed by former Gen. Arturo Rawson and former Gen. Benjamin Menendez was crushed completely, and both had fled. It said the big air base at El Palomar on the outskirts of Buenos Aires and the big army garrison at Campo Mayo, also on the capital's outskirts, were recaptured, indicating that rebel forces had held these important points. Army commander in chief Angel Solari went to Campo Mayo and had the situation under control, the broadcast added. RELEASED TIME RELIGIOUS Yanks Win 8-0 As Big Reynolds Throws No-Hitter NEW YORK (P)—Allie Reynolds pitched his second no-hitter of the season today as the New York Yankees clinched a tie for the American league pennant by blanking the Boston Red Sox, 8-0, in the first half of a doubleheader. The 33-year-old righthander struck out nine batters. He walked four. Ted Williams was the last batter Reynolds had to get—and Reynolds' job was made doubly difficult as Yogi Berra dropped Williams' high pop fly for an error. But Reynolds, resorting to his fiery speed made Williams pop up again, and Berra squeezed this one for the final out as the crowd of some 35,000 went beserk.

Dedication Ceremonies to be Held Sunday For the New YMCA Building On Citron The public will have its day Sunday when the new $55,000 Anaheim YMCA building, 121 S. Citron, is dedicated to the use of the community at ceremonies beginning at 4 o'clock. The theme of the services will be "the people of Anaheim dedicate a new YMCA building." The highlight of the program will be a litany of dedication in which the congregation will participate. Tommy Thomason, Y-secretary, says everybody in Anaheim is invited to the ceremonies as well as others interested. Other features of the program will include a talk by Mayor Charles Pearson, the introduction of former secretaries of the Anaheim YMCA, the formal presentation of the building to the YMCA, and the dedication of a portion of the building as a memorial to the late Edwin Beebe who lost his life recently in a fishing mishap. Special Music Sunday Special music will be provided by the Girls Camp choir and by Joe Critchfield, trombone, and Kevin Stanton, trumpet, who will present a duet. Paul Demaree, president of the YMCA board, will preside. Mayor Pearson, who has been active in YMCA work over a period of 40 years as a member, camper, leader, board member, officer, and, at present, a member of the advisory board, will talk on the "Retrospect and Prospect" of the Anaheim YMCA. Con Jongewaard, who was Anaheim Y Secretary from 1926 to 1937—and who now is general YMCA secretary at Inglewood—will present a memorial plaque to the memory of Edwin Beebe. As an Anaheim youth, Mr. Beebe was active in the YMCA as a camper, leader, and other activities. His father, Marsh Beebe has been active in the YMCA in Anaheim for 40 years and was one of the founders of Camp Osceola. Beebe Memorial The interest of Dr. and Mrs. L. Beebe, relatives of Edwin Beebe, has been instrumental in providing a portion of the new building as a memorial to Edwin Beebe.

Small Boy Better, Says Local Mother Robert Domries, seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Domries of 7231 E. Ball rd., who was injured in an accident on Hwy. 33 near Cerritos ave., Monday afternoon, is reported by his mother to be in much better condition than was expected. The only serious result is that his left leg is broken and in a cast. The right dual wheel of a semi-traller truck driven by Sam Miadi, 29, passed over the body of the boy when the vehicle started and the lad, who had been leaning against the truck, fell. The police picked up the driver in Los Angeles where he made the statement he did not see the boy and had not realized he had run over anything. Blanche Van De Warker of Stanton and Donald Swafford of Cypress, assisted the boy until help arrived and he was treated at the Johnson clinic in Anaheim. He is now convalescing at home. Extended Phone Service Dropped Until 1953 "Unprecedented" demand for new telephones since business spurted under the impetus of the Korean war situation, and shortage of necessary material and equipment stemming from the same cause, have forced the Pacific Telephone Co., to postpone for at least two more years its plan of installing extended telephone service in Orange county.
