Officials Discuss Two New Freeway Projects
(Continued From Page 1)
City Engineer Thorion Piersoll reported his city’s cooperation for the project, but asked about the possibility of a connection to the highway at Katella.
District Engineer L. Gilles said the Katella connection was not included in the present project, but was under consideration by the highway division.
On the other project, plans call for the development of more than four miles up to freeway standards.
In this project, county and Brea city officials hailed the close cooperation between all the bodies involved in developing the route for the Orange County section of the freeway.
Placentia Editor, Cecil Rospaw, complained that city officials of this city had not been contacted in the development of an underpass that will throw a heavy volume of traffic onto Primrose St. Because of this, Placentia city fathers have not taken action on a freeway agreement with the state, presently in their hands for about a year, it was disclosed.
Development of the Diamond Bar Ranch area in Los Angeles County will be greatly enhanced by development of this north-south freeway, as well as the proposed Orange County State College in Fullerton, it was outlined.

Jones listed these grievances made by the prisoners: Sentencing of first offenders who are only 18 or 19 years old to prison; toilet facilities in the old cell block; dislike of the present director of the state Parole Board, and the Parole Board’s policies.

Jones he was the only one of 18 hostages who was tied, although he indicated the men prepared for hanging were restrained to a certain extent.
Of his treatment he said “I can’t complain. But there is a lot of pressure and a lot of tension” inside the walls.
Jones said the Parole Board policies should provide for parole of the man instead of the offense.
“This thing is going to change either by a riot or by a slow process.” he said. “That’s why I’m going back in. We’ve got to avert a riot or any more violence.”
Jones was dressed in a grey flannel suit and his eyes were bloodshot as he talked to news-

Jones was dressed in a grey flannel suit and his eyes were bloodshot as he talked to newsmen and law officers. He explained that he had been chosen spokesman for the prisoners because “I’m sort of in between the inmates and the administration” in that he deals with both sides.
When he returned to the prison through a tunnel leading to a barred door in the mess hall, Jones was to act as spokesman for the convicts in their meeting with reporters.
A Col. Foster of the National Guard asked newsmen not to use Jones’ statement in order to protect Jones and the other hostages. However, the information was released by another news service (not United Press International).
Father Lyman, the chaplain, entered the prison shortly before dawn with Warden Powell and former Warden William C. Benson to meet with the convicts, presumably including ringleader Lee Smart, 19, the slayer of the deputy warden.

VANDENBERG AFB (UPI)—A British Royal Air Force crew Thursday successfully fired the United States-made Thor intermediate range ballistic missile out over the Pacific Ocean.
It was the first launching by a British crew of the Thor. The 65-foot weapon capable of packing a nuclear warhead streaked its full 1,500-mile range.
"It was a magnificent achievement," said Thomas Cochrane, deputy chief of information for the British Air Ministry. He was one of about 20 British newsmen and officials to witness the firing at this base about 170 miles north of Los Angeles.
It was the second successful firing of the Thor here. A U.S. team launched one last Dec. 16. The Thor also was used as the first stage of the two-stage Discoverer rockets, one of which blasted a 1,600-pound satellite into orbit around the earth on Monday.
