CHANNEL SWIMMER HERE — Florence Chadwick, friendly and hurried, briefly visited McCoy’s drug store in Anaheim just before noon today. Close to a hundred fans jammed the store and sidewalk outside hear her first-hand statements regarding her recent unsuccessful attempt to swim Catalina channel. Tall, Tanned, Talkative TV-Star Florence Chadwick Visits Anaheim By PAT TERREBONNE Clad in a smart blue and white tailored linen dress and black lattice sandals, tall, tanned Florence Chadwick stopped in at McCoy’s Drug store, Anaheim this morning to address the scores of fans who followed her recent Catalina channel swim via TV. The attractive brunette, who bears a marked resemblance to Wally Simpson, was bombarded with questions on her future plans. In answer to inquiries on her next Catalina try, she expressed hope of conquering the tricky 21 mile stretch sometime in September. "I will prepare with an extensive five week training program at the Del Mar club in Santa Monica," she stated. Miss Chadwick also announced that she will take a different and shorter route, but was undecided whether the swim will be made in daytime or at night, factors depending on the weather and tide. A HUMOROUS note in the interview was the hopeful inquiry of a small boy, "Is Mrs. Chadwick married?" to which she replied, "No, but it's leap year, be careful." Apologizing to her audience for, as she termed, "letting them down," Florence said that she has been in competition since she was six years old and that the Catalina race was the first she had ever been forced to abandon. Admittedly defeated by the icy water, she said, "I know what it is...

Merchants reported local retail sales for the first half of the year are the best ever experienced and predicted sales for the last six months would reach an all time record. Walter Swanberger, chairman, conducting the meeting, offered a collective sales program for the next six months and recommended the fiscal year be changed from calendar year, to begin in July and end in June. The meeting approved the sales program including Dollar Days, Green Tag Sales, Fall Opening, Back to School and Christmas program with Santa Claus Parade, an all day Gift Hunt, and street decorations and lights.

Studio spokesmen roughly estimated damage at 4½ to 6 million dollars. Spectators who remembered the May 16 blaze had that feeling they get at the movies: This is where we came in. The fire swept a giant arc through 25 studio back-lot acres, destroying nine streets of scenery ranging from Norwegian to western. It razed a storage shed containing a 30-year collection of some 2000 acting props — Robin Hood crossbows, mummy cases, roulette tables, horsehair sofas, spears, swords. It gutted and collapsed a corrugated iron hangar housing an undetermined number of planes used in movie scenes. Then wind-driven embers leaped a street and burned perhaps 200 acres of scrub.

Allied casualties were not estimated, but briefing officers said they were small. Overcast skies dampened the ground fighting and limited the air war to U.N. bomb strikes against the Reds' North Korean supply system. Allied light bomber pilots reported they destroyed 21 Communist supply vehicles. B-29 Superforts Wednesday night blasted the Huichon rail yards on the main Communist supply route from Manchuria. An outnumbered Allied patrol came out almost unscratched after engaging about 100 Chinese soldiers south of Pyonggang, on the west-central front. A briefing officer estimated 15 Reds were killed and nine wounded. An officer estimated the Communists lost 92 killed and 123 wounded in forcing U.N. soldiers off a newly-captured hill west of the Pukhan river in a bitter 27-hour central front battle Tuesday and Wednesday. Allied doughboys almost encircled an enemy position on the eastern tip of the battlefront. When they pulled back at nightfall yesterday, they left an estimated 42 Communist dead and 55 wounded. In Tokyo, Gen. Mark Clark announced the creation of a behind-the-lines Korean communications zone commanded separately from the combat zone.
