California State Library P. O. Box 2037 Sacramento 9, California Anaheim Established in 1870 ... Published Continuous Volume 91, Number 9 Orange Freeway Bisects East Anaheim Suburbia More than $5 million is currently being spent in East Anaheim and an adjacent north-south area by the State of California on freeway right-of-way expenses. A section of the Orange Freeway is routed through East Anaheim on a line parallel with and between Sunkist and Rio Vista Streets. Development of the freeway is in the eight year program of the California Highway Division and is specifically slated for construction during the 1965-66 year. The estimated cost of the construction of the county section of the freeway is $27 million. First Section The first section of the freeway will be a 1.9 six lane segment from the Santa Ana freeway to Katella Ave. The next section will be from Katella to La Palma Ave., a distance of 3.3 miles. The Commission has marked $165 million for freeway development for this fiscal year. According to Milton Stark, District No. 7 Information Officer for Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange Counties, the Orange Freeway project comes under the California Legislature's 1959 rulings which established this as part of the California Freeway and E pressway System. CHAMPIONS PLAY TONIGHT Championship 'Big League' baseball comes to Anaheim tonight in the 17th Annual American Legion Anaheim Tournament at La Palma stadium.

SENATOR MURDY ANSWERS Do Freeways Affect SENATOR MURDY ANSWERS Do Freeways Affect Area Property Values? The Orange Freeway is coming right through East Anaheim. Homeowners, concerned that property values be kept at their highest, are anxious to know what effect the freeway will have on their own land. Senator John A. Murdy Jr. of the Orange County 35th senatorial district has issued a newsletter which the Gazette here quotes as a public service: Three-Year Study The right-of-way department for State Division of Highways sent us a thought-provoking report on property values adjacent to freeways. After a three-year study, these are the basic conclusions: 1. The annual trend in resale prices among subdivision homes adjoining freeways follows a pattern consistent with the price trend of comparable homes away from freeways. 2. Resales average from 1 to 2 per cent less for residences adjoining freeways as compared to homes a block or more away. This is reported to mean there is a nominal depression in market value caused by close proximity to freeways, mostly due to unfounded doubts about living close to freeways. No Influence 3. Where equal financing is available, the freeway has no influence upon the marketability of residential property. 4. Resale statistics show residences can attain equal market value or higher prices for their homes adjoining freeways; the value did not appear affected by freeway grade level or height of embankment. 5. Nearly all residences adjoin freeways are within tract developments and there is ample evidence to indicate the homeowners of these properties have the same pride of ownership as those homeowners away from freeways. Financing The report concludes that financing has become so important in the marketing of residential property that it is singularly capable of influencing market value. It also concludes that the general concept that people create value has been reaffirmed by this study. The buyers and sellers participating freely, and with full knowledge of the current real estate market, have expressed through actual transactions, acceptance of a freeway alongside their homesites, with only a slight depreciation in marketability for the house adjoining the freeway. Refinancing The report points out that where individual refinancing of a home is subjected to prejudicial influence upon the marketability of that property. Certainly, it goes without saying that those who do not desire to live next to a freeway are going to suffer and be bothered by it. If this is of great concern to the homeowner, then he should investigate where the closest freeway routes are planned or existing. Then he should buy his home according to his taste or preference.

"Sometimes the most important signs are the barely percepteible changes in habit and attitude which convert careful driving to careless driving." California Highway Patrol Commissioner Bradford M. Crittenden said. "A driver with an excellent record — no violations, no accidents — over a period of years is involved in a serious crash. Why? Perhaps over-confidence in his own ability led to reduced caution. Perhaps he gradually developed careless habits he was unaware of. Or perhaps his reaction time had slowed, or his vision had become less acute. "Every driver is subject to change, both in attitudes and physica­l capabilities. Only frank self-appraisal will disclose if those changes have lessened your ability to drive," the commissioner said. Defense Contractors Listen to 'Bell' Toll There is a "Bell" in President John F. Kennedy's organiza­tional belfry which may yet ring a death knell on the right of private industry to manage itself. Southern California Business a newspaper published weekly by the Los Angeles Chamber of Con­erce, reports in an article by Richard E. Barton, the Chamber Washington representative, the Bureau of the Budget Directo­ David E. Bell has a new idea tha­ defense contractor represent­ives may border on "nationa­lization." According to the Barton report Bell believes that Governmen­ should not delegate its defens­ management power to priva­t industry but should increase it in-house capability to direct, man­age, analyze and evaluate a governmental research and devel­opment in the defense sphere itself.

"Tri-Action Ad Quarters" THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE JE 4-7122 Clasified today pages 8 & 9 Raise Salaries To do this, Budget Director Bell would first raise the salaries of scientific, engineering and management personnel on the federal payroll to a near $25,000 level. Then he would create a new governmental science and engineering agency with these highly paid people in charge of all defense research and development. To preserve this capability and retain such personnel on the federal payroll, Bell also wants, by executive decree, to place a ceiling on wages and benefits paid executives, engineers and scientific employees of private defense contractors. Enforce Ceiling Barton writes that the government could enforce such a wage ceiling in private industry by just refusing to reimburse a contractor on cost itemized salaries which are deemed excessive by standards set up by Bell and the Department of Labor. "And, of course," Bell said, "if the contractor persists in paying bonus or higher salaries using profits, the Government will then use its contracting authority to enforce the ceilings imposed." Barton reports that defense contractor representatives in the national capital are deep in consternation over the Bell approach. The note that Bell has rung is causing a new draft of suspicion among contractors that the Administration takes a dim view of business.

Look for the Rio Vista Homeowners Association, outraged by last week's City Council decision on two gas stations in their area, to keep a hawkeye on all future planning commission, city council and board of supervisors' meetings. Look for the Master Plan for the city to be presented shortly by the planning department. It will set the general land use policy for the city in terms of broad uses. The adoption of the plan by the Planning Commission will make it a guide to future zoning in the city and will materially reduce the many arguments that have occurred over zoning changes. Look for the planning commission at City Hall to take action shortly on a proposal in the master plan for a river-side park along the East Anaheim side of the Santa Ana River, extending from Taft Avenue to the Riverside Freeway.
