Buena Park Okays Use, Sales Tax BUENA PARK — Residents of this city face a one per cent sales tax and use tax beginning Oct. 1 following the second and final reaing of an ordinance by Buena Park City Council Tuesday evening. City Manager, Arthur Brewer, explained that the one per cent sales tax will be levied on all items purchased within the city whereas the use tax will be imposed on all taxable items purchased outside the city by Buena Park residents and used in their homes. Brewer admitted that the use tax will be difficult to enforce and the city will have to depend upon its residents to declare the items purchased outside the city and pay the tax except in instances involving automobiles or other items registered where the out-of-town sale can be tracked down through the Reports from Greek frontier guards said the plane was seen going down in a forced landing inside Red Bulgarian territory. The plane was smoking and aflame after being hit by anti-aircraft shells. There was no immediate report of the fate of the 50 passengers and seven crew members aboard the four-engined, American-built Constellation plane. Greek authorities said they hurried investigators to the border near the Greek villages of Surhanovo and Serres. They were unable to aid the victims or investigate the crash, because the plane fell inside Red territory. Officials of EL Al airlines said among the Americans aboard were a Mrs. Sheinbaum and a Mrs. Kate and her daughter, who boarded the plane at London. Reports received here said British diplomats in Sofia were whereas the use tax will be imposed on all taxable items purchased outside the city by Buena Park residents and used in their homes. Brewer admitted that the use tax will be difficult to enforce and the city will have to depend upon its residents to declare the items purchased outside the city and pay the tax except in instances involving automobiles or other items registered where the out-of-town sale can be tracked down through the registration. The use tax ordinance was adopted to bring additional revenue into the city and, Brewer said, is on the same plane as the federal income tax. He qualified his remarks by saying some people pay their federal income tax and some don't.

EL AIRLINER VOL XXXII NO 295 Bulletin Anaheim Daily-Herald ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1955 e Business Partnership Ike to Study Record for Any Violation of Ethics By HERBERT FOSTER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON — Air Force Secretary Harld E. Talbott told Senate investigators today he is pulling out of his $60,000 a year private business partnership. Meanwhile, President Eisenhower said he personally will study the record in the Talbott case and decide whether the Air Force secretary has violated ethics of government. The President said at his news conference he will By HERBERT FOSTER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON — Air Force Secretary Harld E. Talbott told Senate investigators today he is pulling out of his $60,000 a year private business partnership. Meanwhile, President Eisenhower said he personally will study the record in the Talbott case and decide whether the Air Force secretary has violated ethics of government. The President said at his news conference he will make the study after the Senate Investigating Subcommittee finishes its inquiry into Talbott’s outside business activities. Nothing Dishonest Talbott in the meantime told a reporter he does not intend to resign as Air Force secretary. He made that statement on entering the subcommittee room as the investigation was resumed. Then he took the stand and told the investigators he has done nothing dishonest or illegal in his Pentagon post to further his interest in Paul B. Mulligan & Co., management engineers. But he said he now realizes he was “mistaken” in using his office and Air Force stationery to help the firm’s business. “My greatest concern in the world is the Air Force,” Talbott said, reading from a prepared statement. “I’ve lived it and worked it until it is part of my body. “Rather than injure the Air Force, I would divest myself (of Mulligan & Co. interest) 10 times over.” Therefore, he said, he took legal action on July 22 to end his partnership, effective July 31. Letter to Partner Talbott read to the subcommittee a letter to his partner, dated July 22nd, the day after he told the subcommittee he would quit the firm if the senators thought it would help the Air Force. The secretary’s letter told Mulligan that he had decided to pull out of the partnership regardless of the subcommittee’s decision. Talbott told the subcommittee that he did not disclose the letter earlier lest he appear to be trying to cut short the investigation of his business affairs. The secretary’s testimony apparently closed the hearings, subject only to a telephone conversation this afternoon between Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark) Five Annexations Get City’s Action Five annexations were reviewed and approved in their various stages at last night’s regular meeting of the City Council. One appeared before the Council in the form of a Public Hearing. The controversial South Anaheim Annexation, a massive 700-acre tract of land south of Katella, was quietly passed to the next step of annexation, without a dissenting vote. Date for its Public Hearing was set for Sept. 13, special election date tentatively set for Oct 21 for residents of the area. The South Anaheim Annex, has been hotly disputed between Anaheim, Garden Grove and the County Boundary Commission since its inception in the latter part of May. In spite of numerous stumbling blocks thrown into the annexation’s path, City Council has continued, step by step along the way to possible final annexation. The Public Hearing was on the Mahr-Rader Annexation, located on the northeast corner of Magnolia and Orange avenues and comprising 10 acres. Described as unhabited territory, the Council received no protests, and passed the annexation on to the First Reading of the ordinance to annex. Houston No. 2: Annexation, north of La Palma, south of Houston and west of Euclid, 48 acres, was set for a Public Hearing on Sept. 13 and the North Sunkist Annexation, roughly following the eastern Anaheim city limits, south of La Palma, west of Sunkist and north of Anaheim-Olive Road and consisting of about 112 acres, received (Continued on Page 6) Bakery Buys Warehouse Site in Fullerton last night was chosen Pirate Queen County Fair, Aug. 9 to 14. union at Santa Ana high school, and beauties who have been designated as princesses, competed in the annual beauty contest, which was held in connection with the regular meeting of the Associated Chamber of Commerce of Orange County in the newly completed Exhibits Building on the fairgrounds.

Talbott told the subcommittee that he did not disclose the letter earlier lest he appear to be trying to cut short the investigation of his business affairs. The secretary's testimony apparently closed the hearings, subject only to a telephone conversation this afternoon between Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark) and aircraft makers Donald W. Douglas Sr. and Jr. The subcommittee chairman wanted to inquire about their relations with Talbott and the Mulligan firm. Except for that, McClellan said there was no information in the subcommittee's possession now which would justify further hearings. As the hearing ended, Talbott was congratulated for his cooperation with the subcommittee and was defended by Sen. George H. Bender (R-Ohio). FRIENDS EVASIVE Mystery of Missing Girl Deepens As All Leads Reported at Dead End The strange disappearance of Helen Lorraine Linville, 15, from City Park last Saturday deepened today into an inpenetrable fog of mystery as Anaheim police admitted that all leads had come to a dead end. Only hint of the girl's whereabouts came from Police Chief, Mark Stephenson, who commented that Lorraine's family believe she is somewhere in Concord, Calif., her home town. But," he said, "where in town, or how to find her...that's another question." The girl, who was visiting her brother here, Robert Frank Linville, 2212 E. Center-street, was last heard from Saturday at about 6 p.m. when she phoned him to say she was going on a barbecue with friends she had met in the park during the day, and probably would not be home until about 9 p.m. Lorraine was dressed in blue shorts and a white middle-blouse. Mrs. L. Linville, Lorraine's mother, said today that her son, Robert Frank Linville, had recently been in Concord and had questioned several of Lorraine's girl friends for possible information. They all professed ignorance, Mrs. Linville said, "but my son suggested that several of them seemed evasive in their answers." The girl's brother went to Concord following a lead that Lorraine had been definitely located there by Concord police. The report proved to be false.
