Wayne, the rugged star of numerous movies, has led the "top ten" list of Hollywood leading men for a number of years. Chairman Morris, in announcing Wayne's participation, said, "Mr. Wayne not only is a good Ballot Clarified By Jordan Frank M. Jordan, Secretary of State, stated today that it must be borne in mind that there will be other candidates on the June 2 Primary ballot other than candidates for president. A prominent morning newspaper carried a warning that no write-in was possible on the presidential ballot. This is not fact. While it is true there is no provision for a write-in for candidate for president, it is also true that there are other candidates on the ballot for other offices. In those instances, provision is provided on the ballot for a write-in, such as representatives in congress, judges, state legislators, supervisors, etc. In those offices, as in all other elections, space is provided for write-ins. Voters should bear in mind that insofar as the presidential candidates are concerned, NO WRITE-IN IS PERMITTED and will not be counted. If there is a write-in, this portion of the ballot will be invalidated. All other write-ins are valid and will be counted. actor and held in high esteem in the movie profession, but he is also a good American and we are more than pleased that he will be with us on Memorial Day." The actor will play a major role in the Goldwater rally, which is to be held on a 60-acre plot across the street from Knott's Berry Farm. Entertainment and music will be provided for the expected crowd of 20,000 starting at 6 p.m., Morris said. He announced that gates to the area will be open at 4:30 p.m. for those persons who want to obtain prime positions for viewing the festivities. The program will get under way at 6 p.m. with Hollywood personalities providing the program. At 7 p.m., he said, the televised speech of Senator Goldwater will begin. Several nationally-known personalities will be present to take part in that segment of the program, he added. Tickets to the "Evening With Barry" event are available for $1 at all Goldwater Headquarters throughout the county. Stadium Deadline As First Escrow The City of Anaheim legally acquired its first parcel of land for a 50,000 seat stadium to house the Los Angeles Angels Baseball team. Anaheim officials said a 4 day escrow has cleared in Washington State Leaders On Tour Washington State Governor Albert D. Rosellini and 50 of that state's leading business executives stopped over on the Sixth Annual Industrial Tour for an invitation-only luncheon at the Disneyland Hotel last week just prior to New York Governor Rockefeller's arrival.

Rosellini and 50 of that state's leading business executives stopped over on the Sixth Annual Industrial Tour for an invitation-only luncheon at the Disneyland Hotel last week just prior to New York Governor Rockefeller's arrival. The purpose was to laud the "land of the big red apple and the tall timber" hoping for California industries to make ex-pansion plans to the State of Washington. The governor stated this was a non-political tour but he is an old hand at campaigning and is now running for re-election. Robert Rose and Walter Strailey continued the plaudits of the state of Washington followed by Washington State entertainment. All members of the touring group expressed their enthusiasm about the growth of Anaheim, its recreational, resort and industrial expansion along with the courtesies which had been extended to them. Washington is the West Coast's second largest market. Rosellini said, the ninth largest export state, and the closes from continental United States to the vast market of the Orient. He said the state economic development is 10 per cent higher than the national average. The state's "pioneering spirit," of which his tours are an example is the most important asset in the State of Washington, Rosellini said. (Pictures on Page 2) Tennis Tournament Set By OC Adoption Guild Tennis players throughout Orange County are currently getting in shape for the third annual Adoption Guild Doubles tournament which is scheduled for May 29-30-31 and June 6-7 on courts of the Santa Ana-Newport Harbor - Laguna Beach areas. Sponsored by the Adoption Guild of Southern Orange County, the event has become one of the largest charity tournaments in the Southland. More than 220 teams entered last year with a crowd estimated in excess of 850 persons witnessing the finals at the Balboa Bay Club. In addition to the Bay Club, donating use of their facilities are Red Hill Tennis Club, Jamaica Inn Tennis Club, Lido Isle Tennis Club, Peninsula Point Racquet Club, Beacon Bay Tennis Club and Emerald Bay Tennis Club plus the private court of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Gayner of Mesa Verde. Semi-finals and finals of the open division will be played at the Bay Club on June 6-7. Open division winners last year were Stan Kula, Anaheim, and Bill Luttrell, Garden Grove, men's doubles; Gertrude Amling, Santa Ana, and Marion Raful, Laguna Beach, women's doubles; Sunny Elliott and Jamie Carroll, both Newport Beach, mixed doubles. First entry received this year by the tournament committee was that of Merwin Miller, Corona del Mar, and Bob Peacock, Laguna Beach.

Such an out- again being heard in con-junction with the camphor trees removal at Claudina and South Sts. Leading the fight to save the trees is Planning Commissioner Dan Rowland who maintains there are 1100 trees doomed for "execution." The trees are causing damage to sidewalks and curbing creating hazards, according to Ron Woll, superintendent of Anaheim's parkway maintenance department. Rowland maintains other Southern cities save their large trees by root trimming and asks why it cannot be done here. Many cities have ordinances, Rowland said, which place a much higher value on the tree to those in Pasadena and Pomona where the beauty of shade trees will be preserved, despite sidewalks. The Planning Commission balked at Rowland's first broach of the subject, saying any action would have to come from private citizens appealing to the City Council.

The trees are causing damage to sidewalks and curbing creating hazards, according to Ron Woll, superintendent of Anaheim's parkway maintenance department. Rowland maintains other Southern cities save their large trees by root trimming and asks why it cannot be done here. Many cities have ordinances, Rowland said, which place a much higher value on the tree than on the concrete and every possible effort is made to save any tree from destruction. Buckled curbs and sidewalks are not part of the determining criteria and have nothing to do with whether a tree will be removed or not, he said. The tree must be diseased beyond help, rotten or dead before it is determined to be a hazard, Rowland said. Woll reports the city has no set plans to remove 1100 trees, wondering where the figure came from. He replies the city has a tree ordinance, but one which is apparently not detailed to the extent of those cited by Rowland. Rowland said he is campaigning for a tree ordinance similar Rocky Seeks Votes More than 8,000 enthusiastic supporters "sweated out" lines which at times extended down the stairs, across the parking lot and out onto Cerritos Avenue, north of the Disneyland Hotel, to shake hands Wednesday night with hard-campaigning New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller. The governor's first sojourn into Orange County was pronounced an unqualified success by Gordon X. Richmond, general chairman of the reception staged by the Orange County Rockefeller for President Committee and hosted by Leonard K. Firestone, Southern California Rockefeller campaign chairman. No official count was possible, said Richmond, on the number of persons who decided against waiting in line to meet the candidate. Rockefeller, however, rounding out a day of campaigning in the Southland which had begun at 6 a.m., remained at his post to personally greet and shake hands with supporters until after 10 p.m. (The reception was scheduled to run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.). The affair, similar to handshake-and-grin sessions staged by Rockefeller supporters in half a dozen other locations throughout the state, made Orange County and Rockefeller campaign history. Rockefeller's state campaign staff members said the Orange County reception was the largest ever held since Rocky kicked off his drive for the GOP presidential nomination here late last year.

Developer Del Webb, whose construction firm is preparing plans for the stadium, has predicted ground will be broken for the city's $20 million facility about Aug. 15. Meanwhile, Cedric Tallis, Angel's business manager, said his team is very close to signing a contract for the stadium's use. "In general, we feel we're in agreement — the main thing is to include the points in legal phraseology," he said. All things are working in favor of the August groundbreaking, and enthusiasm is running high among Anaheim residents and Orange County. The Angels Boosters Club is in full swing hoping for 10,000 members. Chuck Currier, one of the leaders of the group, says membership is soaring but anyone wishing to join may contact Currier or "Bud" Nagel at the City Hall. Rockefeller's state campaign staff members said the Orange County reception was the largest ever held since Rocky kicked off his drive for the GOP presidential nomination here late last year. The "showdown" aspects of the two-man battle between Rockefeller and Goldwater in the June 2 primary here are believed to be working in favor of Rockefeller, said Orange County committee members, following his victory last Friday in Oregon and the statement issued Monday by the Draft Lodge Committee throwing its support behind Rockefiller. In his typical, personel-level brand of campaigning, Rockefeller — from the time he arrived in Orange County at 3 p.m. at the Disneyland Hotel until the lights went out in the Presidential Suite — shook hands, greeted supporters, talked with young people and even squeezed in a whirlwind tour of Disneyland where he surprised some tourists from New York. He told the reception crowd, "We've got to save the party for them," when a wildly cheering battalion of teenagers staged a demonstration and yell rally in the middle of the crowded Embassy Room about midway through the reception.

The assignments cover not only interim fair activities, but supervisorial duties during the x-day run of the 1964 Orange County Fair scheduled for theosta Mesa fairgrounds, July Councilmen Believe Passage Imperative Tempers flared this week as the Chamber of Commerce and Junior Chamber of Commerce went on record as opposing adoption of the city charter that will be considered on the June 2 ballot. Mayor Pro Tem Jack Dutton severely criticized the decision of the two organizations. Dutton said the organizations acted without having knowledge of the facts. Apparently, he said, the two organizations felt that if the charter wasn't written the way they wanted it, then they would oppose it. that if the charter is not approved, then it will open the way for a "special interest" or pressure group to write one for their own advantage. The charter, as proposed recommends few changes from the general law form of government now being used. Ron Cline, president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce said the opposition was based on five "major objections". They were: 1. The City Council should be composed of members elected by districts and at large. Committee appointments for the Orange County Fair's board of directors were announced by President Frederick R. Beckham of Fullerton. The assignments cover not only interim fair activities, but supervisorial duties during the six-day run of the 1964 Orange County Fair scheduled for the Costa Mesa fairgrounds, July 14-19. Each director is appointed chairman of a committee and also serves as a member of two others. President Beckham is an ex-officio member of each committee. Vice President William Galene of Huntington Beach is chairman of the publicity, entertainment and decorations committee. Director Eli S. Barnhard of Quena Park is chairman of the agriculture, horticulture and/or culture exhibits committee. Robert L. Wetzler of Anabeam chairman of the commercial exhibits committee. Robert W.

Edd Tunks of Westminster, reent appointee to the fair board, chairman of the industrial exhibits committee. Supervisor William J. Phillips New Chairman The office of Orange County Supervisor William J. Phillips, third supervisorial district, and Chairman of the Board of Supervisors for 1964, announces his appointment as State Chairman of Air Pollution, and National Chairman of the Water and Air Pollution Committees for 1964 — the first time one individual has been given this singular recognition, and is the result of Supervisor Phillips' acknowledged achievements as one of the ten top governmental leaders in the field of air pollution. Supervisor Phillips was instrumental in passing state and federal legislation on air pollution and has twice testified before the Special Sub-Committee on Air and Water Pollution of the United States House and Senate Committee on Public Works. The charter, as proposed recommends few changes from the general law form of government now being used. Ron Cline, president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce said the opposition was based on five "major objections". They were: 1. The City Council should be composed of members elected by districts and at large. The charter proposes electing all of the councilmen at large. 2. Compensation for councilmen should be established by ordinance. The charter proposes paying each councilman $400 a month, and the mayor $800. 3. Vacancies on the City Council should be filled by appointments from unsuccessful candidates. The charter would allow the council to appoint any Anaheim resident. 4. The mayor should be elected at large for a four-year term and not be allowed to make or second motions. The charter provides the council with au thority to select the mayor from its members, with authority to make and second motions. 5. A personnel board should be appointed. The charter provides that the city personnel system be established by ordinance, and permit continuance of the present merit system. The Junior chambers opposition was made following a "study" by a committee composed of Joshua White, chairman; Jim McDonald, Frank Santilli, Jim Bloom, Jay Divis and Lou Francis. The senior chamber withheld its support by a 10-5 decision. An apology was sought by Joshua White from the mayor protem but Dutton stated "it's the way I feel, I think I'm right so why should I apologize. He (White) didn't know what he was talking about at the last hearing of the council."
