VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH JAM-PACKED—That was the only word for the YMCA hall last night when the Fourth Annual Father and Son banquet was held. Places were set up for 200 diners; 202 showed up. Kuchel Supports Earl Warren in Broadcast Talk JAM-PACKED—That was the only word for the YMCA hall last night when the Fourth Annual Father and Son banquet was held. Places were set up for 200 diners; 202 showed up. Kuchel Supports Earl Warren in Broadcast Talk State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel, of Anaheim, called last night for Californians to support Governor Warren's bid for the Republican presidential nomination. The governor, said the controller, also a Republican, "has set a high standard of official conduct and he's followed it." Kuchel spoke over a California radio network (Don Lee). He praised Warren's pay-as-you-go financing for the state. California's basic taxes, said Kuchel, have not been raised while Warren has been governor—and were reduced between 1943 and 1948. That, said Kuchel, is "an almost unmatched record by any government." General Yount Ousted Because Of Koje Failure KOJE ISLAND, Korea (AP)—A third American general is losing his command because of the kidnapping of Brig. Gen. Francis T. Dodd by communist prisoners of war, it was learned today. He is Brig. Gen. Paul F. Yount, commander of the Pusan Army base who was reprimanded in Washington last week. The Department of the Army said he "overlooked the erroneous implications" of promises made to secure Dodd's release by POWs on Koje Island. A high military official who declined use of his name told the Associated Press Yount would be FLYING PARSON—That's what they call Bob Richards, left, ordained minister and topflight track and field athlete, who addressed the Father and Son banquet last night at the Y. Others, from left, are Paul Demaree master of ceremonies; Tommy Thomason, Y secretary and James Morris, YMCA board president. (Gazette photos by Kreidt) Bob Richards Compares Christian, Athletic Life for Y Banqueters A capacity-plus crowd last night heard the Rev. Bob Richards, associate professor of philosophy at LaVerne college and outstanding athlete, illustrate the principals of Christian living. He spoke at the annual Father and Son Steak-queet of the Anaheim YMCA, attended by more than 200 members in the Y building at 121 S. Citron st. Officers of the various Hi-Y clubs for 1952-53 were installed by a team under the leadership of Bob Quast. Following the banquet and after-dinner ceremonies, the diners adjourned to the patio to watch a trampoline exhibition put on by Jim Smith and his teammates from Fullerton Junior college. Chairman of the meeting was a song session with Jim Pearson at the piano. The steak dinner was prepared by Everett Graney and served with the help of the Tri-U club girls, Bev Fast, leader Bob Quast, Saxon Hi-Y leader was presented a pin indicating membership in the Leaders' Fellowship of the YMCA and 19 other leaders received Fellowship chars. They are: Fred Jeter, Marc Gartner, Orlo Fast, Jack Pauli Louis Sandoval, Jack Schumacher Ronald Thomas, Elwin Hauc Robert M. McKee, Steve Holde Elmo Clamp, Arthur Korn, Kevin Stanton, Glen Dysinger, Jake Critchfield, John Early, Pho Wright, Fernando Ramos, and Leland Cook. He is Brig. Gen. Paul F. Yount, commander of the Pusan Army base who was reprimanded in Washington last week. The Department of the Army said he "overlooked the erroneous implications" of promises made to secure Dodd's release by POWs on Koje Island. A high military official who declined use of his name told the Associated Press Yount would be transferred within a week. The promises, made by Brig. Gen. Charles Colson, led to still continuing red propaganda blasts at the United Nations command. They were repudiated by Gen. Mark Clark, Far East commander. The U.N. POW camp on Koje was in Yount's Pusan command. Both generals Dodds and Colson successively were ousted as Koje commanders and were demoted to their permanent rank of colonel because of the kidnapping and Colson's promises. City Asks Money For La Palma Job Applications for a share of county gasoline taxes allocated by the state were filed with the County Supervisors yesterday by seven Orange county cities, including Anaheim. This city requested $17,087 for resurfacing La Palma Ave., from a point 400 feet west of Palm St. to a point 1320 feet east of Euclid ave. WASHINGTON (F) — The Senate Judiciary committee today approved a proposed Constitutional amendment to prohibit the president from seizing any private property except under specific laws enacted by Congress. Officers of the various Hi-Y clubs for 1952-53 were installed by a team under the leadership of Bob Quast. Following the banquet and after-dinner ceremonies, the diners adjourned to the patio to watch a trampoline exhibition put on by Jim Smith and his teammates from Fullerton Junior college. Chairman of the meeting was Wilbert H. Bonney, who introduced Master of Ceremonies Paul H. Demaree. Joe Critchfield led Metal Shops Turned Down By Supervisors County Supervisors, on motion of Supervisor McFadden, of Placentia, denied variance permits for Herbst Bros., of Fullerton, to locate a metal products plant, also for Earl Carroll to establish a motor shop at Orangethorpe blvd. at Raymond st., northeast of Anaheim. Residents of the neighborhood had objected earlier to the locating of these plants, the protests resulting in a move to rezone the locality for light industry. McFadden moved to deny the applications, pending a study by the county planning commission of the rezoning problem. GARDEN GROVER LOSES $800 CASH Theft of $800, all in $10 bills, was reported to the sheriff's office today by Mrs. Lona Shoup, of 9432 Gilbert ave., Garden Grove. Mrs. Shoup said that burglars entered the house last night and stole the money from its hiding place in a sachel, which was in a clothes closet. ACCORDING TO THE REV. Richards, rated very high among decathlon competitors, holder of Helms and Sullivan awards for outstanding athletics and members of the U.S. Olympic Games team champions in sports and champions in the greater game of Life hold two characteristics in common: they come through under pressure, bringing a larger inner power into play during the "clutches," and there is no limit to the heights they can attain. "A champion finds a new source of power beyond fatigue," the speaker declared. "He goes beyond the pain of aching lungs and trembling legs to find his full potentialities, whether in track and field competition or the competition of living." "A champion knows no limitations. He takes the advice of Browning and 'hitches his wagon' to a star,' believing that the mind determines what the body can do. Christ stated his credo: 'All things are possible—only believe.'" The Rev. Richards said. BROOKLYN, (P) — Big Jim Hearn, knocked out of the box in the first game of the New York Giants-Brooklyn Dodgers series Monday night, came back to overcome the Dodgers on four hits to day for a 6-2 victory.

Noon Meeting Anaheim Chamber of Commerce members, planning commissioners and realtors this noon heard a big-town expert discourse on the merits of city planning. The occasion was the 25th birthday celebration of the local planning body, co-sponsored by the Chamber and the Anaheim Realty Board. Charles B. Bennett, Los Angeles director of planning, was the principal speaker, outlining the beneficial effects of careful planning on any community, whether large or small. He outlined what he considered important items on which careful planning should be applied, most of which are already amply covered by local planners. Probably the only one which does not get the regular attention of the Anaheim Planning commission is that of slum clearance and replacement — largely because it does not present a pressing problem here. ANAHEIM'S planning commission began as a Tree Planting committee just over 25 years ago, according to Dr. Walter Bigham, chairman of the first organized group. He reported that the street tree planting group was called, it floundered around a bit in good amateur fashion for awhile, and they came up with the basic tree planting plan which has resulted in the city's present well-groomed appearance. The first person hired by the commission to plant the trees was a man named Rudy Boysen, later to gain far-reaching fame as the park superintendent of the city and developer of the Boysen- (Continued on Page 8) SO-CAL EDISON CO.

MEASLES EPIDEMIC Of the 74 pupils in the garden classes at Savannah 32 are out with measles cording to the teacher... Soviets Apply Pressure to the Squeeze Developing on Apprehensive Berlin BERLIN (UP)—Communist East Germany tightened its squeeze on blockade-threatened Berlin another notch today. Orders went out to red police to shoot to kill anyone caught without a proper pass in the Iron Curtain's new three-mile no man's land along the West German border. The shooting order was the latest in a series of revenge moves against the Bonn government's alliance with the west. It all but sealed off the communist-girl former capital, which trembled in fear of a resumption of the 1948-49 siege. The Russians continued their ban on Allied military patrols travelling the 110-mile Berlin Helmstedt autobahn, sole highway link between the isolated city and the west. Regular civilian traffic continued to flow normally, but a new formula for transit visas adopted by the red yesterday could choke off traffic between West Berlin and the Bonn republic at any time. The Russians also let a jeep escorted three-truck U.S. Army convoy use the highway and an American officer said: "Apparently they don't mind through travel but for some reason object to our patrols going up and down 'their' road." In Paris the Big Three Western powers said they would regard aggression against Berlin as a threat to their own security. The new visa formula tears up an agreement between the Western Powers and Russia which had allowed West Berlin and West German authorities to issue international passes for transit travel through the Russian zone in either direction. The move had the following significance: 1. Every truck driver, railroad employee or canal barge operator travelling through the area is at East Germany's mercy. 2. The 2,200,000 West Berliners can be virtually cut off from travel into or through the surrounding Soviet zone. Yesterday the red German regime cut all telephone service between Berlin and the Russian sector, and some long distance lines to the west. The Russians continued their ban on Allied military patrols travelling the 110-mile Berlin Helmstedt autobahn, sole highway link but for some reason object to our patrols going up and down 'their' road." In Paris the Big Three Western powers said they would regard aggression against Berlin as a threat to their own security. Truman Brands Germ Warfare Charges 'Lies' WASHINGTON, (AP) — President Truman raked the Kremlin today for "passing out the lies" that the United Nations have used germ warfare in Korea. The president told a White House delegation: "The Kremlin cries that we have used germ warfare." "There isn't a word of truth in that. We have never broken the Geneva Convention in our operations in Korea." "And they know that. They know it well. But they keep on passing out the lies that have no foundation in fact whatever." A delegation from the American Action committee Against Mass Deportations in Romania heard the president assert: "The Kremlin bombards the world with cries of Peace-Peace. And the Kremlin brings on war-war, at every point that she possibly can." Tamale Co. and Real Gold Citrus Products.

Averell Harriman, Mutual Security director and candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, launched his campaign for a share of California's 68 convention votes yesterday. The one-time ambassador to the Soviet Union aired his views on foreign and domestic issues at a news conference and meetings of the Commonwealth club and area Democrats. Harriman, although not entered in the state's June 3 Democratic presidential primary, is supporting a "free choice" slate of delegates, headed by State Attorney-General Edmund Brown. Harriman told a Democratic dinner last night that the Democratic party "must never compromise on the civil rights issue." "We cannot compromise from the principles of the Franklin Roosevelt New Deal and the Fair Deal of Harry Truman. Compromise is inconceivable and that applies to civil rights." Continuing on domestic issues, Harriman called for repeal of the Taft-Hartley law and blasted the 80th Congress, elected in 1946. Calling it the "Class of '46," Harriman declared that General Eisenhower, if elected, "would be a prisoner" of "that isolationist wing of Congress on any foreign policy proposal."
