PUC Denies Directory Split The California Public Utilities Commission turned down today the request of Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company to split its Orange County telephone directory into five separate directories "as adverse to the public interest." Instead, Pacific Telephone was ordered to publish two new directories next November, one alphabetical and the other classified, both on a county-wide basis. Pacific Telephone had sought to group its Orange County exchanges in five directories with alphabetical and classified sections as follows: (1) Anaheim, Buena Park and Garden Grove, (2) Santa Ana and Orange, (3) Fullerton, Brea and Placentia, (4) Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, and (5) San Clemente and Capistrano Valley. During three days of public hearings in Santa Ana last February, a majority of organizations and individuals who appeared opposed the five-directory plan. They agreed that the present Orange County directory is too large and unwieldy and advocated that it be split into two separate directories, alphabetical and classified. Advocates of the two-directory plan included business men and spokesmen for the Orange County Medical Association, the Mahout Chosen For Race A 24-year-old newlywed from Fullerton has been elected Mahout (elephant rider) for the upcoming Third Annual Intercollegiate Elephant Race which will be held adjacent to the Briggs Calls For Leadership John Briggs, 69th Assembly candidate for the G.O.P., in a talk to the Buena Park Young Republicans today at Knotts Berry Farm, called for the restoration of dynamic and aggressive state leadership in California. "California voters have proven they want responsible state government by selecting republicans to guide the destiny of California for the first 54 years of this century. A change was made in 1859 and since that time taxes are up, crime is up, unemployment is up, welfare costs are up, the creation of new and expensive bureaus are up and for the first time in California's history, education of the children has been made a political football", Briggs said. "California must turn to limited constitutional government if she is to unchain the productive capacities of her people. A good life for her citizens can only come from increased private enterprise, more jobs from the encouragement of private risk capital and extension of personal initiative and responsibility." Briggs said. Class of '44 Plans Party Santa Ana High School's Class of 1944 is planning a 20 year reunion Saturday, July 18. The event will be a dinner dance. The place is to be announced.
