NEW BRANCHES PLANNED Police Log NEW BRANCHES PLANNED Buena Park Library District Board Reconsiders Withdrawals BUENA PARK — "In view of very recent developments, the Buena Park Library District Board is reconsidering a request from two areas within the district bounds for withdrawal." Mrs. Marie Calaway, District Librarian, said this morning. A recent move on the part of Hunt Foods Corporation donating $125,00 to the City of Fullerton, will see a branch of the Fullerton City Library constructed somewhere in the vicinity of the Brookhurst-Valencia St., area. These plans are not as yet definite since the Hunt Food Co., is still conferring with government officials on the money to be donated. The City of Anaheim will also build a branch library in the western portion of the city to help relieve the overburdened city library on the corner of Los Angeles St. and Broadway. "Because of these recent actions, the Buena Park Library District Board feels that two areas, one in West Fullerton and the other in West Anaheim will be allowed to withdraw from the Buena Park District," Mrs. Calaway said. A petition recently acted upon by the Buena Park Library Board denied the petition for withdrawal. It is because of the proposed new branch library forthcoming that the Buena Park Board will consider its recent decision to deny the petition from Anaheim residents. "The board has not been pressed into this by any political moves," Mrs. Calaway said. "Rather, we have come to the conclusion that since the two cities have only recently decided to move as they have, it is only fair to the citizens in the areas in question, both in Anaheim and Fullerton, that they be allowed to withdraw in favor of their respective cities forthcoming facilities." This will not mean that service to those areas will stop. Only when the property within the two areas is removed from the tax rolls will the library cease to serve them," Mrs. Calaway added. License Query Has Clerk 'Speechless' Stanton deputy City Clerk Lorraine Raymond was temporarily "speechless" yesterday afternoon when someone called and inquired about the license fee for the practice and teaching of hypnosis. Mrs. Raymond thought either ordinary business or school might fit, if nothing else did. She hurriedly called City Clerk Max Moolick, who today is checking around for the solution.

"I don't think the Buena Park Library has the facilities the Fullerton Library has," Murphy said. As to the question of the PTAs circulating petitions among the Buena Park residents to prevent Assemblyman Richard Hanna from going ahead with a bill to dissolve the Buena Park Library District, Murphy had this to say. "Those people obviously don't know both sides of the question. Somebody should tell them," the mayor said. Obviously irritated, Murphy told the Bulletin that the present tax rate is one of the reasons people don't want to move into Buena Park. However, this was one of the items discussed at a recent meeting with industrial realtors and other interested parties held in the council chambers to discuss Buena Park Industrialills. It was pointed out at the meeting by one industrial representative, that the tax rate was not the end sought by industrialists who were "on the ball!!" The final tax bill should be the final criteria in the quest for information. Bills are lower here than in other communities, the industrialist said. Whether or not the sponsors of the bill had taken this point into consideration was not mentioned by the mayor. As a result of the bill which will go on the Assembly floor soon, the Buena Park Library District is in danger of being done away with. This has PTA members in both Centralia and Buena Park Elementary Districts up in arms. District Supervisor Glen Dysinger-Sr., of the Centralia District, wrote yesterday that "If the Buena Park Library District is dissolved, the facilities which have been afforded to this district will stop." Oilman Roy Maggart's Testimony in Ogle Trial Summons Served in San Francisco By State Attorney General Investigator A Grand Jury subpoena has been served upon Oilman Roy Maggart, whose testimony could save or ruin the reputation of County Counsel Joel Ogle. Maggart has been ordered to appear before the county Grand Jury on May 11 in Santa Ana. He was served the summons at San Francisco by investigators of the State Attorney General's office. According to testimony before last year's assembly subcommittee on tidallands, Maggart owned 45 per cent of the stock in Camden-Dayton Oil Co. Orange County supervisors granted the firm an exclusive tidallands drilling contract in January, 1955, upon the premise that the compnay would pay the cost of litigation for the county to establish clear title to its tidallands. During the assembly subcommittee hearings, oilman John Lipko was brought from his Los Angeles County jail cell to testify that he, Maggart, oilman Rhae Foust, and oilman C. E. Lambert had conspired to pay Ogle $10,000 to influence the supervisors to approve the Camden-Dayton agreement with the county. Ogle has denied the accusation, and claims that Lipko was promised immunity from a Grand Theft charge if he would falsely testify against him. He had given the $10,000 to Ogle in the presence of Lambert, Lambert has denied that any such transaction took place. Foust has also denied Lipko's charge, and has said that Lipko "drills people — not oil wells." Meanwhile, Lipko's trial on a grand theft charge has been continued several times. He is accused of bilking a Baldwin Park woman out of $135,000 on an oil scheme. According to Assemblyman Richard Hanna, Lipko has reportedly passed a lie detector test. According to the District Attorney, so has Lambert. Lipko claims that he withdrew $10,000 from a Los Angeles bank in order to pay Ogle. Records of the bank showed no such withdrawal on that date on Lipko claims he withdrew the currency. Consequently, Maggart's testimony before the Grand Jury will either tend to disprove Lipko's ac- During the assembly subcommittee hearings, oilman John Lipko was brought from his Los Angeles County jail cell to testify that he, Maggart, oilman Rhae Foust, and oilpan C. E. Lambert had conspired to pay Ogle $10,000 to influence the supervisors to approve the Camden-Dayton agreement with the county. Ogle has denied the accusation, and claims that Lipko was promised immunity from a Grand Theft charge if he would falsely testify against Ogle. In 1955, Lambert and Lipko were representing a Texas syndicate that was interested in purchasing Camden-Dayton if the county would grant it exclusive drilling rights upon the tidelands. Foust had 1 per cent over-ride upon Camden-Dayton oil production. Since Lipko's testimony last Auction, he has been indicted by last year's Grand Jury on a bribe charge, and faces trial next month. Punishment, if found guilty would be removal from office, and a possible prison term of one to 14 years. ST.

Several hours later, the merchant found one dime on each end of the roll, in the center, was a roll of lead. The profit to the youth was exactly $4.80. Police were told that the businessman didn’t know the name of the youth but he had a reputation as “coin collector.” COMMANDANT — Commandant of St. Catherine’s Military School, Major Charles A.

Driver Blames Truck In Hit-Run Accident A hit and run collision was reported to police yesterday at 3:30 p.m., by James E. McAlexander, 19, 1104 French St., Santa Ana. The accident occurred on the Santa Ana Freeway near the Lewis off-ramp in front of Melrose Abbey. According to the report McAlexander gave police, he was driving south on the Freeway in the right lane of traffic when the truck which later struck his vehicle, approached from the rear and honked its horn. The truck then began to pass on the left, and when even with the McAlexander car, he told police, the driver looked over and gave him a dirty look. The truck then swerved in towards McAlexander’s car and the right lane, striking the left side of the man’s car and pulling away. McAlexander followed the truck long enough to take down its license number, after which he stopped and reported to police. Police are running a license check of the truck, described as a tractor-trailer, red and white in color, belonging to the Thrifty Cut-Rate Hauling Company.

THE BULLETIN ORANGE COUNTY NEWS TION B Thursday, April 30, 1959 Supervisors Abandon Auxiliary Jail Site SANTA ANA (OCNS) — Abandonment of plans to acquire a county prison farm site near the west entrance of Irvine Park has been voted by the Board of Supervisors. The proposed site was strongly opposed by residents of the Villa Park area because children play in the park. Several petitions against choice of location were received by Supervisors. Meanwhile, final drawings of an auxiliary jail to be built just north of the county hospital are nearing completion. A contract is scheduled to be let this spring, and the 400-inmate structure is to be completed late this year. The Irvine Park site for an honor farm was the 11th location to be proposed by Supervisors in recent years. Each site either met opposition from nearby residents, or was found unsuitable for construction. Establishment of an honor farm has been recommended by several grand juries. Funds for an honor farm have been created by a bond issue which earmarks the money specifically for that purpose. State laws permit counties to maintain main jails, auxiliary jails, and honor arms. The latter type of installation usually has a large number of alcoholic rehabilitation inmates. VEHICLE Knocks Hole In GG Liquor Store GARDEN GROVE — The Village Quarter Store at 12745 Garden Grove Ave., has a gapping hole in the hall today and police are searching for a hit and run driver. A patrol car on routine patrol at 16 a.m. today discovered the hole which was said to be about six feet by four feet. Evidence on the scene pointed to the fact that a vehicle had struck the building and then been driven from the scene. Police and the owners of the building today are searching for a car with a damaged front or rear end, in an effort to solve the accident. Anaheim Child Needs Blood For Surgery Faye Peters, the three-year-old daughter of Mrs. Donald Peters of 8811 Athens Court, Anaheim, is scheduled to undergo open heart surgery May 15 in St. Mary's Hospital, Long Beach. Little Faye is suffering from a congenital malformation of the heart having been born with a hole in the organ. The technique of open heart surgery now opens up to the little girl the opportunity for a normal and healthy life. However, a great deal of blood is needed for transfusions and donors are needed. The type blood is not important, since all that is required is that a pint replace a pint as given. Mrs. Peters asks that anyone who is willing to do a good deed and help in her battle to make Faye normal again, be at the Red Cross Bloodmobile, which will be parked at 244 N. Helena in front of the Ebell Club on May 8 from 2 to 6:30 p.m. Safeway Store Sued SANTA ANA (OCNS) — The Safeway Store at 135 S. Lemon, Anaheim, is named as the defendant in a $15,000 personal injury suit that has been filed in superior court here. Elise Neff claims she was shopping at the store when she slipped and fell.
