Fate of City-Urban Legislation on County 'Free Ride' to be Determined Whether the state legislature shall proceed at this session to consider passage of the bill sponsored by the League of Cities, to provide for multi-purpose urban service districts in unincorporated territory of a county, or shall order an interim study of the "free ride" complaint raised by cities against rural areas, before legislating upon it, may be determined within the next week. An assembly committee headed by Assemblyman Earl Stanley of Newport Beach, heard debate by delegations representing cities' and county supervisors' organizations last week in Sacramento. Request by the supervisors group, including state Vice - President Willard Smith of Orange, that an interim study of the question be made, was taken under advisement for 10 days. Mayor Charles Pearson of Anaheim, and W. C. Jerome, executive of the Orange County League of Cities, were among the city representatives at the committee hearing. They supported the bill calling for formation of multi-purpose assessment districts in urban unincorporated territory, where special services are wanted. The bill had been completely re-written since first introduced. It provides for the county supervisors to classify all unincorporated as urban or rural agricultural, and urban service zones would be outlined in the urban areas. Services provided by county government in such urban service zones would be restricted to such services as are generally supplied by the county in the rural zones and also to incorporated cities. If any area wanted special services in addition, it must form an urban district and assess itself for such services. Orange county already has numerous special assessment districts to provide such services as fire protection, water, lighting, libraries, drainage and the like. Supervisors representatives at the committee hearing conceded that there is a problem of the LEO GOGERTY The Mercury dealership in Anaheim has been sold to Leo Gogerty. He will continue the operation at 626 S. Los Angeles st., where painting and remodelling is now in progress. Mr. Gogerty went to school in Long Beach and started in the automobile business there back in 1927. At one time he was an Anaheim resident. During the war, he served as a warrant officer on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. He is married and has two children. "During my years in the automobile business," said Mr. Gogerty, "I have learned much about what the average family wants from their car, how they like to buy it and how they like to keep it up. I believe there is a real need here in Orange county for a big city type operation where volume can be built up by keeping profits down. That's what we plan to do here in Anaheim, run this business as though it were owned by our customers." The service department at Gogerty-Mercury will be in charge of Carl Hawkins who has worked with Mr. Gogerty for many years. Mr. Hawkins has managed several of the largest auto repair shops in the Los Angeles area. Traditionally, newspaper men are said to long to retire and raise chickens. Leo Gogerty is an exception. As a newspaper man he worked in the classified departments of Los Angeles and Long Beach papers. Now with his new firm here in Anaheim he will be very busy hatching new car prospects. Orange county already has numerous special assessment districts to provide such services as fire protection, water, lighting, libraries, drainage and the like. Supervisors representatives at the committee hearing conceded that there is a problem of the free ride, although Supervisor Smith remarked that as far as Orange county is concerned, there is more free ride by the cities than the unincorporated areas. He urged the interim study of the problem by a committee that could report recommendations back to the legislature later.

(F) — After the dust settled around a minor automobile collision here, a passenger in one car got an antitetanus shot because he'd been thrown against the windshield, broke his false teeth and bit the inside of his mouth. Indochina comprises three French-sponsored states. Buena Park (Continued from Page 1) Ford McCracken, barroom guitar player, booked on suspicion of kidnapping. He awaits grand jury action tomorrow, when District Attorney James L. Davis says he will ask his indictment on charges of murder, kidnapping and child stealing. McCracken borrowed the automobile from Leo Stradley, Buena Park tavernkeeper. The 34-year-old guitar player jailed last Sunday, told newsmen he knew that "the evidence is piling up against me, but I believe I have a fighting chance." Sheriff James Musick said he had subjected McCracken, a convicted sex offender, to exhaustive questioning but that the prisoner still maintains his innocence. District Attorney James L. Davis said the state will have at least 13 witnesses ready to testify when he requests the Orange county grand jury tomorrow to indict McCracken on charges of murder, kidnaping and child stealing. One of the key witnesses for the state, Davis said, will be Holt Holland, a house mover, who took officers that McCracken brought a little girl answering Patrick description to a Buena Park motel late last Saturday afternoon and Mr. and Mrs. Roy J. Reynolds, who said they saw McCracken leading a girl from a Buena Park theater earlier Saturday. Holland occupies a cabin under the motel court from where McCracken admits he rented a cab on Saturday. McCracken also has admitted that he attended a children's movie matinee where little Patricia was last seen. Bloodstains were found in McCracken's cabin. The exhaustive search for body—authorities having abandoned hope of her being found al-—has turned up several hundred articles of clothing an article which the 1000-odd searchers believed might afford some clue to the child's whereabouts.

The Sheriff's crime laboratory has determined that the blood found in McCracken's cabin is not his Perspiration tests on Patricia's clothing, to determine her blood type, are being completed for comparison with blood samples from the cabin. Yesterday afternoon, after repeated attempts by reporters to obtain added information, an Anaheim Gazette reporter managed to get one more statement from Mrs. Pearl Fisher, girl friend of suspect Henry Ford McCracken at her sister's home, Mrs Harold Humbert, 5832 Fullerton ave., Buena Park, where she had barricaded herself since last night. Mrs. Fisher stated, "I definitely wasn't with Hank anytime Saturday." She went on to say that during the time she had gone with him she had no information about his previous conduct. She became acquainted with him when he introduced himself at her home, on Kingman st., in Buena Park, just a few blocks from his cabin at the Pine motel, as an acquaintance of a mutual friend. Mrs. Fisher was with McCracken on Sunday when he received a telephone call notifying him the sheriff wanted him. Back at the fire station in Buena Park feverish activity surrounds the disappearance of Patricia Jean. At 8:45 p.m. last night (Arky) Bob Stecks, 20948 S. Shearer, Torrence, one of the hundreds of searchers for new evidence concerning the child's suspected murder, found a girl's brown and white saddle shoe and an army jacket along the highway near Olive Lawn cemetery, north of Buena Park. Glenn Hamel, Orange county reserve sheriff, brought in a table-cloth and underwear found about 50 feet below where Steck found the other garments. None of these items was identified by L. D.
