The 10 and a half mile relocation of Interstate 80 (former U.S. 40) over historic Donner Summit is scheduled to be opened in early November, weather permitting. It will replace a steep and tortuous two-lane grade with a modern four-lane freeway, plus an extra uphill lane where needed for slowmoving traffic. The new freeway, in some locations about a mile north of the existing grade, will have a very wide median strip, with the two roadways often at different levels and with groves of pine trees growing in between. A safty rest-vista point area has been constructed alongside two small lakes near the new summedian between the eastbound and westbound roadways." Completion of these projects, he pointed out, means that Interstate 80 will be in operation as a multi-lane freeway or expressway for the entire 210 miles between San Francisco and the Nevada State line, excep t for the section through central Sacramento, on which construction is now getting under way. In the Los Angeles area, the major project still to be opened this year will be a four and a half mile extension of the Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10), between Vermont Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Portions of this relocated section have been opened on a two-lane basis for some time. "This will be one of our most beautiful freeways," the Governor said.

Spurs Need For New, Larger Building Building Director Robert Thomas, acting on the basis of the report, called for construction to be budgeted in the 1966-67 fiscal year and the building completed by 1968. The supervisors delayed action on the report until next week. The proposal however, did not solve the immediate space needs for the County Health Department. Immediately needed, according to Thomas, was 10,000 additional square feet of office space to handle the department's needs until 1968. The present Health Department building was reported to be "jammed to capacity." The Manchester Avenue site, west of the Orange County Hospital, had previously been named as the proposed site of several other county buildings. Earlier this year, a Los Angeles survey firm recommended the area as the site of the new county jail. Orange planners and the City Council objected to the recommendation because they feared a jail on the site would force the scrapping of a multi-million dollar development nearby.

"I feel about 100 per cent better," said Lee Kearney, secretary of Teamsters Local 952 with headquarters in Orange. "We are sure happy that it is over," said Richard W. LaFrance, manager of Stater Brothers market in Orange. Stater Brothers had been one of eight markets picketed throughout Orange County. When normal delivery of dry grocery supplies could be resumed apparently hinged on ratification of the agreement reached by Teamsters President James Hoffa and food industry representatives. Kearney said members of his local would vote on ratification on Thursday. "We are going to recommend that the vote be yes," said Kearney. There were indications that the members of the Teamsters Union would be back on the job throughout Southern California by Monday. Lyle B. Boyd, vice president of Alpha Beta Markets in Orange County, said if a clause in the new agreement covered guaranteed work weeks, normal delivery operations would not be resumed until Monday. Boyd stressed that his chain was not badly affected by the strike-lockout. He said drop shipments direct from manufacturers were preventing any great shortages. The agreement ended a month old strike - lockout which had idled drivers and warehousemen at 56 wholesale food warehouses, mainly in Southern California. The exact terms of the new agreement were not made public. It was announced following a five-hour bargaining session between Teamsters President James R. Hoffa and industry spokesmen. The closed door sessions were held with the assistance of federal mediators. Hoffa said the terms of the agreement were satisfactory. He said he would recommend approval by the rank and file membership. Hoffa said an announcement on whether the membership accepted the terms should come before Saturday. Robert K. Fox, industry negotiator represented the Food Employers Council. He said after today's session that he expected industry sources to accept the contract without any difficulty. Fox said the council would meet and make its formal announcement regarding approval of the terms some time this weekend.

More than 100 of Orange County's business and civic leaders attended the event held at the Orange County Medical Association, 300 S. Flower St. Farid Massouh, 20-year-old leader of the Arab group, said, "We are picketing to point up that this bond program is supporting not only peaceful projects, as its sponsors claim, but also helps build up the military forces of Israel."
