Anaheim Public Library Anaheim, Calif. Established in 1870 ... Published Continuous Vol 91 — Number 29 12 Pages Chamber Backs UHS Bond, Aid Approval of the Anaheim Union High School District bond program and state aid request was voted by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce in response to an outline of the needs by Dick Johnson, chairman of the chamber's education committee. The combined plans calls for $12 million school bond and $13 million in state aid. The total of $25 million will finance the construction of new facilities for an expected 14,000 pupils by 1968. Voters will decide the question in a special election which, if decided by a favorable vote will mean no increase in taxes, according to Johnson. The district, he told chamber officials in his report on the necessity for the $25 million expenditure within five years will need three new high schools, six junior high schools and seven junior high school sites. It was pointed out that voters may ballot separately on the two parts of the request. If voters do not wish to approve both, the ballot will permit this. But Johnson emphasized that only the local bonds are approved and not the state aid, it will be almost certain that double and even triple sessions are in store for students in the district. He said the local bonds portion would provide only about $2 million annually for school construction, far short of the need, and still leave about 7,000 students without facilities in 1968. At the same time, taxes would be raised a minimum of 60 cents per $100 assessed valuation if only the local bonds were approved, for a period of 30 years, he said. Total bond tax rate for the district A one-third slice in the assortment price for 40 acres on which Centia's second high school will be erected was made in Superior Court this week. The cost set by Judge Raymone C. Thompson will be $680,000. Owners of the land agreed to default in condemnation action brought by Placentia UniSchool District. Four orange groves on Valencia north of Palm Drive, are included in the site. Owners Abram and Eve Miller, 20 acres Emma Wening, 10 acres; Harold and Jessie Swinger, five acres and Harold and Hazel Brew five acres. The agreed price was equal to the value placed on the land an appraiser who testified in case. The owners had demanded $25,000 an acre for the proper Citizens Bank, Crocker Merge Voters will decide the question in a special election which, if decided by a favorable vote will mean no increase in taxes, according to Johnson. The district, he told chamber officials in his report on the necessity for the $25 million expenditure. Citizens Bank, Crocker Merge Directors of the Citizens National Bank which maintains an Anaheim branch, have approved a proposed plan to merge with Crocker-Anglo National Bank. Union of the two banks would create the second largest banking system serving both Northern and Southern California. The merger would be accomplished by an exchange of stock in the ratio of 1.9 shares of Crocker-Anglo for each share of Citizens National Bank stock. Announcement of the merger has been made by the two chief executive officers of the banks, Roy A. Britt, President of the Citizens National Bank, and Paul E. Hoover, Chairman of the Board of Crocker-Anglo. Both Britt and Hoover emphasized that even though the boards of directors of both banks have voted their approval of its basis, the proposed merger cannot take effect before a definitive merger agreement is executed and shareholders of both institutions meet and act upon the plan. Dates for the shareholders' meetings will be announced later. They also pointed out that since both banks operate under Federal charters, the proposed merger is subject to the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency. The proposed merger would create an institution with assets approximating $3.2 billion, making it the fourth largest bank in California, and one of the 12 largest banks in the United States. It would serve over 1,000,000 depositors and employ approximately 7,500 staff members.

Joint Civilian Air Alert Lost Any hope for a uniform county-wide civil defense alert system has been abandoned by agencies involved in the study. The joint city-county Civil Defense Planning Board terminated efforts for unity after determining that the argument between air horns and sirens was not to be reconciled. The cities of Anaheim, Tustin and Fullerton strongly endorse si rens while the county, Santa Ana and some others are firmly behind the air horn program. A resolution calling on each city to make its own decisions was unanimously adopted as the planning board united in agreement that the main issue was for county residents to be alerted.

Davis was making a brief recapitation of the bitter struggle waged the past weekend in Anaheim by the state volunteer organization which culminated in the election of William Nelligan as fell short of Orange county hopes, according to Davis, but "the volunteer workers will not let this deter them from continuing their aggressive efforts."

Out going The heads of Orange county volunteer republicans are battered but unbowed, Dick Davis, La Habra, county Republican Assembly chairman declared today. Davis was making a brief recapitulation of the bitter struggle waged the past weekend in Anaheim by the state volunteer organization which culminated in the election of William Nelligan as president. Nelligan, San Francisco telephone technician and a member of the Communication Workers of America, AFL-CIO, was elected over the conservative candidate, Harry Waddell of Salinas. The election was the highlight of the two-day convention which saw charges and counter-charges of a threatened "take-over" of the assembly by the John Birch Society and so-called "ultra conservatives." The convention got off to running start by statements from the out-going president, Fred Hall to the effect that the organization was threatened by the "John Birchers." Even Gov. Pat Brown, democrat, entered the republican fray to warn the state organization on what to do about the conservative threat. Nelligan describes himself as a "moderate-liberal." His ballot victory was hailed by Hall as "one of the greatest victories the republican party of California ever had and a massive defeat for the John Birch Society." Waddell, who is not a member of the society, wished Nelligan "all the luck in the world" and declared he hoped that Nelligan could accomplish one-half of what the CRA needs for the coming year. Among the needs of CRA as seen by Davis is the development of a better reflection of republican views as held by the rank and file of the party. "We are going to continue working in Orange county to become even stronger," he said today, "and we have every hope that neighboring counties will develop the same drive toward strong organization. Only through local effort will we be able to some day be strong enough to provide the essential leadership for republican victories." The results of the state meeting fell short of Orange county hopes, according to Davis, but "the volunteer workers will not let this deter them from continuing their aggressive efforts." We cannot put our hands in our pockets and sit back just because of temporary setbacks," he declared. Two days of heated exchanges preceded the voting. Out-going President Hall and others opposing Waddell centered their attacks on what they termed the "John Birchers" and "conservative" elements of the party. The convention got off to the battle ground promptly as Hall adjourned the Saturday meeting soon after it got underway. The quick adjournment came as a result of parliamentary bickering over delegate accreditation and this same subject loomed up at the close of the final balloting for the presidency. As totals of a 273-212 vote favorable-to Nelligan were announced, Bruce Reagan of Pasadena, 1962 GOP nominee for state controller, angrily charged that there had been only 414 authorized delegate votes. 71 less than the total balloting announced.

Beach Storm Damage Repair Being Pushed State Senator John A. Murdy and Assemblyman James Whetmore have issued a joint statement declaring an effort is being made to restore damaged beach areas along West Orange County. In addition, a long-range project is expected to get underway later this year to prevent future storm and beach erosion damage such as occurred two weeks ago. Hard hit in the recent storm were Surfside, Sunset Beach and Capistrano Beach in Orange county. The two county legislators held a joint meeting this week with several officials from various state agencies responsible for control of beach erosion and damage. Funds will be made available almost immediately to clean up the debris and sand as soon as President Kennedy acts on the disaster area proclamation of Gov. Brown. Approximately $80,000 will be made available to the local sewer district to repair sewer work damaged in the storm at Sunset Beach. Another $80,000 will be expended to clean up the debris and sand along the coastal areas affected. County and local agencies will perform the work and submit a claim for disaster relief funds from the federal government. The long range project for prevention of future damage to the beach area is also well underway. Sen. Murdy and Assemblyman Whetmore disclosed. The Army Corps of Engineers is in the process of planning a federal-state-financed project to restore the beach and eventually build a breakwater offshore to protect the coast from future storm-caused pounding surf. The Department of Water Resources has budgeted funds to be gin the program about July 1, at the start of the new fiscal year when the budgeted funds become available. The project may cost better than $4 million before completion with matching funds and the federal government will pay about 69 per cent of the cost, according to the legislators. "We want the people along the coast of Orange County to know we are doing everything possible to restore the beach area and prevent future disasters that occurred there recently," Senator Murdy and Assemblyman Whetmore declared.
