VOLUME LXXXI Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH Generals in Convention’s Spotlight By RELMAN MORIN CONVENTION HALL, Chicago. (UP)—The two five-star generals are the story in Chicago today. One of them, Dwight D. Eisenhower, came home a winner in the first, thrill-packed vote on the full convention floor. It may have been more important psychologically than materially. Nevertheless, the consensus here today is that it has improved his chances of winning the Republican nomination for the presidency. The other general, Douglas MacArthur, delivered the keynote speech at the convention last night. MacArthur divided his speech equally between domestic and foreign policy. As he has done before, he accused the Democrats of responsibility for the public debt, mounting taxation, inflation, corruption in government, the encroachment of federal authority on the states, and “the prerequisites to a socialistic or even communist state.” REPUBLICAN KEYNOTER IN ACTION Gen. Douglas MacArthur, delivering the keynote address at the Republican national convention in Chicago last night, wears an earnest expression (left), pauses and looks to speech with Santa Anans Okay Street, Sewer Plans and Specs Three More Ana Local 'Miss Anah THEN HE TURNED to foreign policy. At no time, in this large segment of his speech, did he mention Eisenhower. But he made some points that conceivably could pertain to Eisenhower's role in the postwar years: "We must fully understand that once we commit ourselves to the defense of others, the issue of war or peace is no longer in our exclusive hands . . . "We must remain faithful to the commitments we have made to others, so long as they remain faithful to theirs made to us, but failure of the principle of collective security in Korea **** plainly warns that too much must not be expected from collective security elsewhere. "In Europe, and indeed throughout the world, our foreign policy approach has been equally as vacillating and negative, and for the most part, sad to relate, under the domination of others." Tank Supported Chinese Thown For Losses SEOUL, Korea. (P)—Fourteen Communist tanks—the heaviest concentration of red armor in a month—supported a probing attack last night by a Chinese company against United Nations positions on the Korean central front. About 200 Chinese were thrown back in the one-hour fight which closed to hand-to-hand combat. Allied troops counted 39 Reds killed and estimated 30 others died in the battle. Santa Anans Okay Street, Sewer Plans and Specs Santa Ana city council last evening approved plans and specifications for widening E. 17th st. between Main and Santiago sts., and likewise approved plans and specifications for $155,000 worth of storm drains and sewer lines. The E. 17th st. widening to 56 feet, including four traffic lanes and two parking strips, will cover the distance from Main to Santiago, except for the portion between French and Poinsettia sts., extending under the new Santa Ana freeway overpass. This is state highway, and will be paved by the state in conformity with the city specifications. Council approved specifications for a 27-inch storm drain along Delhi rd., between Rouselle to Standard sts., to cost an estimated $25,000, and a graduated 51-48-39-inch storm drain on Maple ave., from McFadden st. to First and Fourth sts., to cost an estimated $100,000. Plans and specifications for an 18-inch sanitary sewer line to connect with the new Delhi trunk, and running north along the Pacific Electric tracks to McFadden st., also were approved. The cost estimate is $30,000. COUNCIL ACCEPTED the bid of Pacific Clay Products co., $2415.56, on the purchase of 1440 feet of vitrified sewer pipe. Gladding McBean Co. bid exactly the same, but did not get the sale, because that company had its turn last time. Officials say there is never any difference in bids for these products.

About 200 Chinese were thrown back in the one-hour fight which closed to hand-to-hand combat. Allied troops counted 39 Reds killed and estimated 30 others died in the battle. The tanks and Communist artillery pounded U.N. positions along the Nam river valley in the Kumsong area with 1,570 shells. U.N. troops hitting a Communist-held hill on the central front were repulsed by 200 Chinese using automatic weapons, artillery, mortars and a flame thrower. The U.S. Fifth Air Force said nine Communist troop bunkers were destroyed or damaged by warplanes in close support attacks. Other fighter bombers destroyed 10 supply buildings, nine vehicles and two supply revetments.

The contesting Florida delegation also was for Senator Robert A. Taft. A solid pro-Taft delegation of 17 from Georgia also today won the first of three major Taft-Cisenhower contests before the credentials committee of the Republican national convention. The credentials group began the day by voting unanimously to seat an 18-vote pro-Taft delegation from Florida, Eisenhower backers put up no real fight in its instance. But the struggle will come to a head when the committee gets down to voting on 63 delegates uncontested in Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. A committee decision favoring it in these three states may bring a showdown floor battle excluding in bitterness any that has been before. GOP Platform Is Ready for Floor On Thursday CHICAGO.

John Dwight D. Eisenhower he had gone over a draft Telephone Co. Says Agreement Reached With CIO LOS ANGELES. (UP)—The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph co., which services the Anaheim area, announced today that an agreement has been reached with the CIO Communications Workers of America providing wage increases for plant and accounting department workers in seven Southern California counties. The agreement is subject to wage stabilization board approval and ratification by the union membership. It provides wage increases of from $3 to $5 a week and covers 2000 plant and 2000 accounting employees. A company spokesman said it would be impossible to name a present basic wage for these employees because there are dozens of job classifications. Howver, as an example, he said the present top wage for telephone installers in Los Angeles is $90 a week and under the agreement this would go to $95. Negotiations for a new contract started May 13. The effective date of the contract, if ratified, would be July 7. Commissioner Oliver E. Goodwin of the federal mediation and conciliation service, aided in negotiations. Protestants Fail To Block SA Street Program Opponents of the South Main st. widening project in Santa Ana tried and failed to block the program by filing two protesting petitions which the city council rejected last night. Charges of misrepresentation, misinformation and coercion were hurled by protesting property owners, 10 of whom signed one petition while five signed another, which requested return of right-of-way deeds. Attorney Fred Johnson represented both groups of petitioners, but the charges were hurled by other spokesmen. Fred Devenney declared that pressure, and misinformation had been combined with misrepresentation on the part of those promoting the project, who told property owners that other property owners had signed petitions favoring the project, when such was not the case. Fred Volmer, signer of one petition, declared there was discrimination in that some buildings were not required to move back to the new setback line. He cited the 14th amendment of the U.S. (Continued on Page 5) Shopping Center, New Industry Get Once-Over by Local Planners Anaheim planning commission yesterday postponed action on a complete neighborhood shopping center to be erected at Center and East sts.

They also deferred action following a deadlocked vote, on a change of zone in southeast Anaheim where a sizeable industry is reportedly seeking to locate. The shopping center, which would include a food market, restaurant, pharmacy and 19 smaller shops, was proposed by Thelma Reagan, local realtor in the interest of the owner of the property, Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Mitchell, and prospective tenants of the business establishments. The land is on the northeast corner of the intersection. A large house on the corner and its grounds would not be included in the purchase. Miss Reagan and Mitchell, speaking for the required reclassification of the property from R-A (residential-agricultural) to C-2 (general commercial), cited the need for neighborhood shopping centers in one of Anaheim's fastest growing sectors. C. Fred Smith, developer of the Bonded Homes tract being constructed just north of the proposed center, objected to the proposed use of the land and asked that a buffer zone between the site and the area of his development on Adele st. be established. Failing that, he offered to buy a 3-acre strip to create the buffer, which offer was turned down. Miss Reagan urged speed in making a decision on the proposal and the commission agreed to meet in adjourned session July 21 on the matter. A REQUEST change of classification on land at the northeast corner of Vermont and Orange sts. (Santa Fe tracks) was nearly defeated by five planners, but Commissioners Bob Mungall and Jake Schumacher voted no on the motion, thereby deadlocking it. Jess Medaris, representing the owner, Fred Frederickson, formerly of Anaheim, now residing in Bellflower, said the site is desired by a home appliance manufacturer whom he declined to name. He said the industry is largely one of assembly, not of fabrication, and that the plant would work on war orders at first, then would switch to appliance manufacture. Commissioners Mel Gauer and E. P. Hapgood objected to the "pig-in-a-poke" nature of the proposal and Hapgood moved its rejection. Failing to get the required six votes in favor of denial, the matter was referred to (Continued on Page 5)
