New Gas Pipe From Santa Ana In Operation Initial gas deliveries were made today through the 13½-mile, 30-inch-diameter pipeline built by Southern Counties Gas Co. to supply the Huntington Beach steam electric generating plant of Southern California Edison Co., Justin M. Kennedy, gas company Orange County division manager, announced. The pipeline, which runs from Southern Counties' lines in Santa Ana, cost approximately $1,500,000 to build, and is designed for the ultimate delivery of nearly 200 million cubic feet of gas per day to fuel the Edison Co. plant. On hand to assist Kennedy in turning the valve which sent the first supplies of gas into the new line was Willis H. Warner, chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. The line was designed to bring to the Edison plant additional supplies of gas to enable the steam electric generating facility to utilize greater quantities of this fuel, particularly during smog-critical periods. NEW VALVE — Standing by the valve that sends natural gas into the new 13½-mile, 30-inch-diameter pipeline built by Southern Counties Gas Co. to supply Southern California Edison Co.'s Huntington Beach steam electric plant, are Willis H. Warner (leader) and Justin M. Kennedy, gas company Orange County division manager. CEMETERY POSES PROBLEM Sites for University of California Police Log Anaheim CEMETERY POSES PROBLEM Sites for University of California Campus in Orange County Discussed SANTA ANA — Odds that Orange County will get the next major campus of the University of California jumped sharply this week. But a projected cemetery and rumored differences of opinion about exact location between University regents and Irvine Company officials, may knock out chances of a coastal area site and enhance the chances of a Yorba Linda location. In spite of a tight-lipped "no comment" policy by University regents and officials, and by heads of the two land companies which own the Orange County sites still under consideration, a county-seat news source which has proved itself reliable in the past revealed: The Board of Directors of the Irvine Company, backed by the trustees of the Irvine Foundation which owns 51 per cent of the company stock, is prepared to make a conditional gift of land worth from two to three million dollars on the basis of current values. In addition, the company will agree to develop 10,000 acres surrounding the campus as an "ideal" university community. Local Man OCNS contacted Ed Backs of Anaheim — interested in the Northern Orange County site, this morning. He said conferences had been held with Fullerton Chamber of Commerce officials concerning getting the campus for Northern Orange County, but pointed out the whole thing is too "vague" now to make a definite statement. He said the Kraemer holdings in the area weren't large enough to accommodate the campus. The Irvine Ranch location will probably be rejected by the University's board of regents unless Pacific View Cemetery, a 140-acre graveyard and mausoleum site which borders the Newport Beach city water reservoir, is relocated. A University regent, one of the most influential on the board who has heretofore favored a Los Angeles County site, has now agreed to vote for an Orange County site immediately increase in value by a minimum of 30 per cent, and its worth will keep on soaring." the regent was quoted as saying. "Holders of large land areas will benefit far more than any amount they give. I'm willing to go for an Orange County site, but only if the University is treated as a first-class resident — not shoved into a back bedroom like a poor relation. As for accepting a site with a cemetery in the front yard, that's out." The regent apparently referred to some unrevealed difference of opinion as to a specific location on the Irvine Ranch. A member of the Irvine Company Board of Directors who requested that he not be identified, admitted that negotiations have been going on with University representatives, but declared he knew no unsurmountable differences of opinion on location. "The cemetery, well, that's a different matter," the director said. "The Irvine Company sold 40 acres in fee and gave an option on another 100 acres. The only way the cemetery could be moved would be by consent of the owners of the cemetery or by condemnation of the ground by the University. Atty. Robert S. Barnes who represents the cemetery backers, was unavailable for comment this morning. Edward J. (Brick) Power, president of the big new organization "Friends of the University of California in Orange County," declined to comment, but admitted that he knew that intensive negotiations have been going on.

Las Palmas Dr. is in La Habra. The trial began Wednesday in the court of Superior Judge Karl Lynn Davis. The Las Palmas property owners are asking the court to restrain McCabe from building the office, contending that commercial construction is prohibited in the deed restrictions in spite of La Habra's zoning of the area. The area was annexed to La Habra in the 11-acre "McMillan Anexation." The city attorney reportedly obtained a building permit for the structure Oct. 7 of last year. Under city zoning the structure is allowed. The 20 property owners listed as plaintiffs in the action constitute a majority of the landowners in Tract No. 1056, it was explained. The whole tract once belonged to Sunny Hills Ranch Inc., according to the suit but the corporation has subdivided and sold all the lots. Included in the deeds are covenants and restrictions that prohibit the type of construction undertaken by the defendant. McCabe, whose office is presently located in Fullerton, lives at 841 N. Grandview. According to the suit, McCabe had made plans for an 8,000 square foot building on a 78 by 140 foot lot located on the south side of Las Palmas and one lot east of Fullerton Road. Among the 20 plaintiffs are J. Ranar Key, John F. Olsson, R. E. Imhoff, R. T. Richards, A. N. Crawford, A. D. Phelps, M. Egerer, M. R. Pestel, O. R. Bowen, A. W. Case, E. C. Harlin, G. T. Chapman, F. E. Gilbert Jr., H. E. Phillips, R. H. Heller, H. W. Pullman, Roy S. Stuhley, W. E. Bogart, G. S. Dory, and William Wright. As explained by the county source, the Irvine Company will not be an outright gift; be an offer either to sell the versity 1,000 acres at half the praised current price or, as sible alternative, to give 500 on the condition that the Uni will agree to acquire an add 500 acres within two years, present appraised value. In event, more than 10,000 would be devoted to the p "ideal" University community the offer is accepted. State Senator John A. Murray who has consulted with the Director of Finance, has expressed his opinion that the state will no funds for land acquisition year, but would provide money to plan the development gift land. Heretofore, every campus University has been started land that was a gift, S Murdy said. Anaheim’s Polar Ex After 35-day Trip Relates Details of Stay Aboard Nuclear-Powered Undersea Vessel By Dave Nelson Robert E. Wadell, the Anaheim man who was aboard the submarine Skate during its recent record breaking trip under the Polar ice cap, returned to his home at 9672 Stonybrook Dr. late Wednesday night to the relief of his wife, four children and himself. Wadell was aboard the vessel as a representative of the Autonetics Corporation, Downey, to operate the new inertial navigation gear which steered the submarine unerringly to the Pole. The new device was originally developed to guide the Navaho missile but was adapted for use in the submarine. An altered version is now on the drawing boards for exclusive submarine use. Wadell told the Bulletin of standing on the bridge of the submarine’s “sail” (conning tower) and watching the funeral of polar explorer Str Hubert Wilkens. His ashes were tossed into the blowing wind at 8 a.m. to the roar of Navy guns. The ceremony was impressive, Wadell said, but the cold bitter. He said that the cold would not be so bad were it not for the constantly blowing wind, which whips up the dry snow so thickly that the sky above is con- Wadell said, “I was kept too busy most of the time to get tense... but it does get old being out at sea for 35 days.” Wadell said that he is only now coming to realize the full significance of the under ice voyage and the part he played in it. “We are the only country to accomplish this feat,” he said, “in both summer and winter.” But at the time of the voyage, he said he grew accustomed to the idea and the many marvelous mechanisms which make up the nuclear powered sub. Not only did the sub smash a hole in the ice to gain the surface, but was possessed of a device which told within inches the thickness of the covering sheet. He summed the whole trip up by saying, “It was a very educational trip for me.

His ashes were tossed into the blowing wind at 6 a.m. to the roar of Navy guns. The ceremony was impressive, Wadell said, but the cold bitter. He said that the cold would not be so bad were it not for the constantly blowing wind, which whips up the dry snow so thickly that the sky above is continually grey. "I have never seen anything so bleak or barren," he said. There were also "pressure ridges" at the Pole, huge piles of ice, slab lying on top of slab, which constantly periled the submarine's safety." They would shift and break." Wadell said, "making a great roaring sound, and appeared capable of crushing the sides of the sub." Good Food The submarine was at sea for 35 days, the greatest part of which was spent beneath the surface. What did the men find to do during that time when they were not engaged at their duties? "They read, played cards, and watched the movies," all these activities taking place in the mess hall." But apparently the greatest diversion and morale sustainer of all was the food. According to Wadell it was excellent, and prepared with true care by the conscientious cooks. The head cook was affectionately dubbed "Mother" by the crew as a result of his efforts to prepare chow the way the men wanted it. He baked cakes for their birthdays and arranged salads so they would be pleasing to the eye as well as the stomach. As for tenses while they traveled under the dangerous ice pack, During her husband's absence Margaret Wadell was not idle. She painted their home's entire interior, with three coats of paint. As for her husband's return she said, "I'm very happy, I'm so content." The children were also glad to see their father, not only because he had been gone but because he brought them each a jar of water from the North Pole and also told of seeing Santa Claus while there. He said, "They're pretty impressed and are really watching their behavior since I told them Santa Claus is going to keep his eye on them."
