Anaheim Convenient $5 Million Hall Slated for City Anaheim may possibly be the home of a new convention and exhibition hall in the not too distant future should the City Council see eye to eye with the Planning Commission, who yesterday approved a petition submitted to them by Leo Freedman of Beverly Hills, to construct such a center at 1601 S. Manchester Ave. The proposed exhibition and convention building will be built at an estimated cost of from $5 to $6 million, will have floor space of 90,000 square feet, and will be employed for exhibitions, sporting events, cultural events and conventions. The second floor of the dome shaped structure will be devoted to a banquet hall and ball room; seating capacity comes to 6,000 permanent seats and 3,000 temporary additional ones, with an estimated parking capacity of 2,272. A ball in the top of the aluminum dome will house transluscent, revolving lights. In conjunction with the exhibition hall, Freedman plans to construct an eight story hotel facing onto Harbor Blvd., and adjacent to the larger building. Ground is expected to be broken for the hotel, called the Charter House, on June 1, and the end of this year is expected to witness completion of the first two stories. Freedman said that the Hotel Corporation of America will lease the new hotel. Some Opposition Freedman's plans did not get through without opposition, how- Some Opposition Freedman's plans did not get through without opposition, however, and the principal source of dissent came from the Phil Anthony Homes, Inc., represented by attorney Julius A. Leatham, and Anthony Pools. Anthony property adjoins Freedman's property to the west, lying between the proposed site of the convention hall and Harbor Blvd. The disposition of this property is apparently being considered at the present by the District Court of Appeals. Should the court rule against whatever usage Anthony Homes has in mind, the possibility exists that City Council could condemn the strip of land, which would form extension of a proposed road from the convention site's parking area to Harbor Blvd. Attorney Leatham asked that the Planning Commission lay the request aside for a period of six months and await the court's decision. His main reason, he said, was that it would be best for Freedman to do so since the property on which the hall is to sit and his main parking area are separated by an Edison Company right-of-way easement. Freedman, however, avers that he will have no difficulty in acquiring the right of way across the Edison Company easement. Question Access Members of the Planning Commission questioned whether Freedman could provide access to and agree from the hall and its northern parking area. He then showed the Commission how he has completed two streets from Katella into the area, Clementine and Zeyn, and how he proposes to create at least one and perhaps two from the site onto Harbor Blvd. One of the proposed roads would pass through his adopting hotel property. He also illustrated to the commission that access is to be had from the Freeway on the northeast. The Commission further questioned him about rights of the city to use the convention hall for that (Continued on Page A-6, Col. 5) MYSTERY OF SUB FINALLY SOLVED SAN DIEGO (UPI) — A "mysterious" submarine drifting offshore near Encinitas, about 30 miles north of here, had sheriff's deputies worried for a time today until it was discovered the craft was engaged in Navy maneuvers. After some hectic early morning checking, it was disclosed that the submarine Perch had moved close to shore at slow speed, apparently to unload a small Marine Corps force on the beach. A San Diego County sheriff's patrol car, however, spotted the Perch's conning tower and deck awash about 500 yards from the coastline and radioed a report for the commandant of the naval base here. Spotlights were flashed on the submarine in predawn darkness while the investigation was launched to determine its identity.

He moved into a two-story house surrounded by barbed wire barricades, and Indian army command tents were installed to protect him against any Communist attempt. CHURCHILL URGES UNITED WEST BERLIN LONDON (UPI)—Sir Winston Churchill, 84, urged the West Monday night to remain "united and strong" in its Berlin negotiations and warned that a battle for Berlin could engulf the world in a nuclear conflict. The aging statesman broke a two-year political silence to admonish the Soviets it was not necessary for their leaders to warn of the dangers of the use of armed force to solve the Berlin crisis since "we are aware of this." SENATE COMMITTEE APPROVES HERTER'S APPOINTMENT WASHINGTON (UPI)—The Senate Foreign Relations Committee today unanimously approved the nomination of Christian A. Herter to be Secretary of State. Chairman J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) said he would ask the Senate leadership to bring the nomination up in the Senate today if possible. EAST-WEST DIFFERENCES STILL UNRESOLVED LONDON (UPI)—Extensive consultations among the Western allies have failed to resolve their basic differences of approach to the forthcoming East-West negotiations in Geneva, diplomatic sources said today.

Voters Deciding Annex Move Today at Polls Whether the Magnolia-Cerritos annexation will pass or not today U.S. to Attempt Orbit Of Mice in Discoverer WASHINGTON (UP1) — The United States will try to put mice into a space orbit within a month or so, and may try to get them back alive. Roy W. Johnson, the Defense Department Voters Deciding Annex Move Today at Polls Whether the Magnolia-Cerritos annexation will pass or not today is in the hands of residents of the area, who are voting on the proposition at the Dr. Jonas E.

Roy W. Johnson, the Defense Department's space projects chief, revealed the project in a speech Monday night. He said the next Discoverer satellite, Discoverer III, would have a "biomedical space traveler" aboard. Johnson did not specify what he meant in his address to the Republican League of Women Voters, but a spokesman for the Advanced Research Projects Agency, which Johnson heads, later said "mice in the plural" would be involved. It will be the first U.S. attempt to put a living creature into orbit. A mouse rode across the South Atlantic in the nose cone of an Atlas missile some months ago, but died when scientists failed to recover the cone. Johnson left the impression Monday night that an effort would be made to eject the capsule containing the mice and return them safely to earth. He said the biomedical information to be obtained from Discoverer III would be "very useful" to Project Mercury, the program to put a man into orbit around the earth in 1961. WITH A TOWEL—OR WITHOUT? Censors Ponder L PARIS (UPI) — A 33-foot film strip of Brigitte Bardot scampering naked from her bath awaits New York movie goers next week, provided the censors are not too scandalized. The new Bardot film ("Love Is Not a Profession") portrays Brigitte as a remarkably immoral girl who holds up a jewelry store and then seduces one of Paris' most famous lawyers (Jean Gabin) into defending her. The 33-feet in question — and they really are in question in New York — show Brigitte walking through her bedroom just after emerging from a bath. In the version shown to blase Paris audiences she is as undressed as she was in the bath-tub. The Parisians never batted an eye. French producer Raoul Levy, who helped his curvaceous star reach fame and fortune with similar undraped scenes in the past, thought the scene was "perfectly harmless."

Eisenhower's proposal, made in an April 13 letter to Khrushchev, calls for an installment plan limitation of nuclear weapons tests. The first step would provide for a ban on tests in the atmosphere. SILVER BONUS End of A-tests LONDON (UPI) — Prime Minister Harold Macmillan has backed President Eisenhower’s step-at-a-time nuclear disarmament plan in a personal letter to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, it was announced today. Eisenhower’s proposal, made in an April 13 letter to Khrushchev, calls for an installment plan limitation of nuclear weapons tests. The first step would provide for a ban on tests in the atmosphere up to 30 miles above the earth, those which contribute most heavily to increases in radioactive fallout. Khrushchev has not yet replied to the President, but news of his letter’s existence was broken by the Russians Monday at Geneva, where talks on nuclear test suspension are in progress. The text was then released by the White House without waiting, as is usual, for a Russian reply. The British Foreign Office announced Macmillan’s backing of the plan today. It did not make public his text and did not say on what date he wrote, but indicated Macmillan’s letter followed Eisenhower’s and expressed agreement with the President’s view. The Prime Minister was said to have told Khrushchev that he agrees with Eisenhower’s position that a limited agreement covering atmospheric tests would be desirable and useful if a more comprehensive agreement is not presently possible. The United States proposal for a phased ban on nuclear weapons had been outlined broadly in Geneva by Ambassador James J. Wadsworth, chief of the American delegation. The Geneva conference on banning tests began last Oct. 31. The Russians insisted on their right to veto inspection aspects of any control system applying to underground explosions. “These negotiations must not be permitted completely to fail.” Eisenhower wrote. Khrushchev, saying that without a new approach “no basis for agreement is now in sight.” Eisenhower’s new approach was this: Step around the current arguments, political and technical, over control of underground and outer space tests and try to seek an initial agreement on prohibiting tests in the earth’s atmosphere. “If you are prepared to change your present position on the veto, on procedures for on-sight inspection, and on early discussion of concrete measures for high altitude,” This week’s Silver Bonus award will be $270 after last week’s winner failed to shop.

Gunfire, Blasts Rock N.C. Town In Union Dispute HENDERSON, N.C. (UPI) — Gunfire and dynamite explosions brought on by apparent unionist dissatisfaction with company hiring policy broke out anew in this textile mill town today, despite union ratification of a strike-end contract. Fresh violence was triggered at the Harrlet-Henderson cotton mills late Monday night by members of the Textile Workers Union of America (AFL-CIO) angered when the number of former strikers added to a second shift at the mill amounted to less than 30 persons. More than 350 scared nonunion workers bedded down in the mill Monday night, afraid to leave because hundreds of angry union workers roamed just outside the mills. But today reinforced police escorted the beleaguered workers from the plant through angry, shouting unionists without major violence. Some 100 state highway patrolmen were rushed here to back up the 98 local police already at the scene. The reinforcements were requested by Maj. Carroll V. Singleton following a jarring dynamite blast in the mill yard. Powerless police watched street lights and searchlights on mill property shot out one by one. The only violence this morning...

Elsenhower's new approach was this: Step around the current arguments, political and technical, over control of underground and outer space tests and try to seek an initial agreement on prohibiting tests in the earth's atmosphere. “If you are prepared to change your present position on the veto, on procedures for on-sight inspection, and on early discussion of concrete measures for high altitude detection,” the President told the Soviet boss, “we can of course proceed promptly in the hope of concluding the negotiation of a comprehensive agreement for suspension of nuclear weapons tests. “If you are not ready to go this far, then I propose that we take the first and readily attainable step of an agreed suspension of nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere up to fifty kilometers (30 miles) while the political and technical problems associated with control of underground and outer space tests are being resolved.” Bullets shattered all street lights and police searchlights near the mill grounds. In one 15-minute period, 10 windows of the North Henderson Mill were shot out. Police said a stick or a stick and a half of dynamite was thrown inside the North Henderson Mill plant grounds between the gate and waste house about 4:10 a.m. No extensive damage was reported. OUT?

They ordered the disputed 33 feet cut out of the American version. - Levy came up with a solution he hopes will soothe the censor although he admits it makes the scene more provocative. - He refilmed the sequence showing Brigitte holding a small towel. But, he said, "it's even more suggestive like that than it was before." - "I just cannot understand Americans," Levy said. "If you ask me, it's not pictures of Brigitte" Bardot without any clothes on that cause so much juvenile delinquency over there. It's all those Hollywood gangster movies that are provoking restless American youth into trying to be like Al Capone. "They're the things the censors should ban instead of picking on me and Brigitte." He said he had made two trips to New York to battle the censors and still wasn't sure how he would make out.
