Study Launched On School Unity The need for school districts to submit a plan aimed at unification of elementary and high school districts by this September prompted a symposium to provide enlightment in Anaheim this past week. The panel discussion was sponsored by the Anaheim Chapter of the American Association of University Women. The complexities of the unification problem are such that extensive study is necessary to grasp the fundamentals and evolve some program, the panel of experts told the meeting. This basic requirement led to the opening gun in the study portion of the problem by the University Women. State Threatens Unless school districts do submit a plan in time there will be intervention in the districts by the state as it makes its own study and recommended unification plan. The women's association brought together a panel consisting of Dr. John Packard, secretary of the Orange County Committee on School District Organization; Paul Cook, superintendent of Anaheim Union High School District; Robert Shanks, superintendent of Anaheim City School District; Dr. Palmer Campen, superintendent of Centralia School District; and Mrs. Joe M. Brown president of the Anaheim Secondary PTA Council. Full Unification Supt. Cook said it appears to be the goal of the legislature to eventually have all public schools in California under a unified school district. Theory is, better education will be provided, greater coordination of policy and curriculum for students as they progress through school, less cost through consolidated administrations. Small school districts supposedly would be afforded the benefits of larger schools through unification. Cook pointed out that voters will be given opportunity to accept or reject unification of schools in their area. If voters turn it down the matter is finished at least for the time being, Cook said. Many Problems Problems facing unification in AUHSD are serious, Cook said. School district boundaries overlap in many instances, different school districts have different bonded indebtedness and bonded state aid are available in different districts, and tax rates vary considerably. Students Hear News 'Managing' Rapped (Editor's Note: College students from all over the state met this past weekend at Disneyland to hear featured speakers and discuss journalism in general. We thought the best test of the results would be a report from one of the young journalists on the address given by the convention's principal speaker.) By GARY LYCAN Feature Editor, Santa Ana College Lyn C. Nofziger, director of the Copley News Service Washington Bureau, said in Anaheim last weekend that "news management, more evident now than in the past, has helped the Kennedy administration more than it has helped the country." Addressing a statewide Journalism Association of Junior Colleges convention at the Disneyland Hotel, Nofzinger gave a working newspaperman's views of managed news. Nofziger defined news management as an attempt to create a false picture, and said there has ANAHEIM BANKER UPPED James E. Hansen with Bank America City Banker Takes New Post Anaheim resident James E. Hansen took Horace Greeley's advice to "Go West young man" in moving from Bank of America's South Anaheim branch to West Anaheim, where he stepped up to assistant cashier and general lending officer. Hansen's promotion was announced by Manager Warren M. Dunbar. Beginning his career in 1960 on a special Bank of America training program for college graduates, Hansen later served as a junior officer at South Anaheim. Born in South Dakota, he graduated from high school there and attended South Dakota School of Mines. After moving to California he earned a Bachelor of Science degree at Long Beach State College.

I don't think we have been on all the facts about Cuba," he commented and then smiling, said fully "you have to be patient, suppose we will get the real story eventually." Nofziger cited facets of news management as the following: holding news, lying, leaking it to a favorite reporter, and rolling news to the extent of when it will be disclosed. "Many people confuse news judgment with news management. Editors are accused of managing news, yet keep in mind that the editor is at the mercy of his reporter when he is unfamiliar with a subject." Right of People The distinguished newsman also said "news management is not equitable in government and private business. Government belongs to the people, and they have a right to know what's going on." Nofzigr admitted editors will never be rid of news management, but added that alert editors can look at stories with an affective eye and cheek into the facts. "News control in government," emphasized Nofziger, "can lead to thought control, and eventually will lead to the control of the decisions of others in a free government.

Franchise payments are made by investor-owned gas, electricity, and water utilities for the use of public streets and highways. Adding the total franchise payments and the real and property taxes paid by Southern Counties for 1962 results in a combined figure of nearly $8,918,000 which the gas company pays to counties and cities in which it serves gas or has property. This combined total, Kennedy pointed out, means that Southern Counties pays an average of $10.44 to local governments for each one of the more than 854,000 customers it was serving as of year-end 1962.
