Political Roundup County Farm Bureau Ends Nov. 3 Jail And Court The Orange County Farm Bureau, considered to represent a cross section of the opinions of the agricultural section of the community, today endorsed the proposal to issue bonds for the construction of a new county jail and court facilities. The resolution was adopted at a recent meeting, the announcement said. The Bureau said there exists a vital need for such facilities to meet current and future needs and to replace and supplement some of the present facilities in Orange County. The alternative to approval at the polls of the presently proposed bond issues to provide jail and court facilities would be a special election in February of 1965, which would cost an extra $150,000 for election costs and which would be followed by probably much costlier methods if the bond issues should fail, the Bureau said. Bob Geier, 34th district congressional candidate, has urged his opponent, Rep. Richard Hanna, to pressure his Teamster union supporters to remove pickets from county food stores. Hanna, Geier said, is the recipient of extensive past and present election support from the Teamsters and other unions. "He must have some influence on these people. He should use it on behalf of harassed county consumers." Geier pointed out that Teamster picketing of county food markets is illegal under the Taft-Hartley Act, which prohibits secondary boycotts. "Furthermore," Geier added, "Mr. Hanna is sworn to uphold all our laws, including Taft-Hartley." Geier said local families should not suffer from the harassment, intimidation and insults to which housewives have been subjected at the hands of imported "Goons" picketing local markets. State Sen. John A. Murdy, Jr., chairman of the Orange County Citizens Committee for "Yes" on Propositions A and B, the County Jail and Courthouse bond issues, made a strong plea today for unity as the campaign ground into the final four weeks. Sen. Murdy emphasized the need for continuity, coordination and agreement on the purposes of the bond issue. "How many more years must we be saddled with the disgrace of our county jail and courthouse civic center?" Murdy asked. Three grand juries have labeled the County Jail a disgrace, Murdy pointed out. "And the Courthouse Civic Center is a hodgepodge of antiquity and waste." Instead of being something that we can be proud of, we have a civic center that's practically the laughing stock of the state." Murdy declared, "All because we tried to be pennywise and pound foolish." Orange County, he said, will soon become the second largest in population in California. "We need and should have adequate well planned facilities." "How many more thousands of dollars will we pour down the drain to lease old churches and buildings to house our courts and county offices?" Murdy argued. He said financial advisors report that general obligation bonds can be financed at a rate of about one-half of one per cent lower than any other form of financing, save cash ... "and we don't have that." That one-half of one per cent on a $28 million dollars bond issue amounts to $140,000 a year savings to Orange County taxpayers, Murdy pointed out. If approved by the voters, the average county homeowner would pay about $1 a year more in taxes to pay for the facilities, or less than 2 cents a week. Proposition A is an $11.2 million dollar bond proposal for a new county jail and Proposition B totals $16.82 million for a new county jail. Birth Defects Hit 1 in 10 Families One in ten families are affected by birth defects and more than 250,000 babies are born each year with significant birth defects, many causing permanent disability, according to Dr. Meryl J. Carson, medical director of the Children's Hospital of Orange County, located in Orange. Dr. Carson, as guest speaker, addressed community leaders and volunteers who will be directing their efforts in seeking support for the 1965 March of Dimes fight against crippling birth defects. Speaking to those present for the annual dinner of the Orange County Chapter National Foundation Thursday Dr. Carson pointed out, "At least half of the beds in the Children's Hospitals of America are occupied by birth defect victims." "The March of Dimes is leading the battle on the research front as well as establishing 70 treatment centers across the nation where such treatment is available and where trained specialists in these medical areas are developing improved techniques which can benefit all disabled people," he said. Dr. Carson also presented the programs and plans of the recently established Orange County March of Dimes Birth Defect Evaluation Clinic which has been established at Children's Hospital in Orange. Supervisor To Lead F The Orange County Board of Supervisors has been asked to provide financial leadership in a drive to bring the 1968 World's Fair to Orange County. The request was spelled out last night by Assemblyman William E. Dannemeyer (D-Fullerton) during a meeting of the Orange County League of Cities at Friedemann Hall. Dannemeyer, chairman of a county-wide committee spearheading the drive, told members of the league that construction of the fair buildings alone would employ some 8,500 people. "It would mean at least $600 million to Orange County during the two years of the fair," said Dannemeyer. He called on the Board of Supervisors to get the ball rolling regarding the underwriting of any financial obligations which would be incurred in getting the fair to Orange County. Fountain Valley Location Most likely spot for the fair is an area in Fountain Valley. Main stumbling block in the drive to bring the fair to the county up to now was the fear that if the exposition was a failure, the county and cities would be faced with a huge debt. This, opponents to the plan say, would result in skyrocketing taxation. There was no immediate reaction from the Board of Supervisors. Reaction from those attending last night's meeting of the League was varied. Max Reynolds, League Presi- Henry A. Webber of Santa Ana; and Bruce Broker of Costa Mesa; and Mrs. Fred Tylor of Tustin. Those Board members, continuing to serve are: Edward Bell of Fullerton, Miss Elizabeth Cutris of Santa Ana, Mrs. Harry Gartler of South Laguna, Paul D.

D., of Garden James A May of Costa Mesa, M. Grove, Maurice Riseling, Ph.D., of Santa Ana. Following the membership meeting, the new Board elected the following officers: President—Mrs. James A. May; Vice Presidents—Edward Bell, Paul D. Griem, John H. Land and Rex Stockton; Treasurer—Henry A. Webber; Recording Secretary—Mrs. Harry Gartler; Corresponding Secretary—Miss Elizabeth Cartis.

Other general church appointees who assisted with the plans of the conference were: High Priest Raymond E. Huggett, President of the Los Angeles Stake, F. E. Hanson, Bishop of the Los Angeles Stake and Elder James Reynolds, Director of Youth Activities.

Reynolds has been attending all the meetings dealing with the fair. "I went into it with mixed emotions — but now I don't know how the county can lose," said Reynolds. Reynolds stressed, however, that he would be in favor of the project providing that suitable guarantees could be set. Mayor Jack Hileman expressed similar views. "It would be a fine deal providing the fair would be self-supporting," said Hileman. "I would be very careful in any such action to make sure that it would not increase the tax burden," he added. Several Meetings Held Dannemeyer's call to the Board of Supervisors was the latest development in the drive to attract the fair to the county. It started several weeks ago when Long Beach was dropped as the fair's location. Buz Price, economic consultant for the fair, said recently it would have a $1 billion impact on the economy of California. He also promised the fair would stimulate $675 million in local retail sales, ignite $200 million in private offsite development and bring in more than $1.3 million in local sales taxes. "Although the fair would be in about $31 million in the red when it opened," Price said. "This deficit would be wiped out and a profit of at least $20 million or higher would be realized — part going to local supporting agencies," he concluded.

Twin Plan Advanced Plans for establishing a civic link with citizens and officials of Orange, Australia, were advanced Tuesday at a meeting of the local Sister Committee established several months ago. Among the latest ideas submitted to the Orange citizen group working under the direction of Chairman Donald Kent, secretary of YMCA activities here, were the following suggestions: Exchanging various Orange County newspapers with Australia committee; recording local meetings and civic activities for Sister City residents; establishing contacts for local students and citizens to exchange letters and school and national news with representatives of the Australian city. One highlight of yesterday's meeting was the introduction of John B. Davidson of 1518 West Almond Street, a native of Australia who has made numerous business trips to the sister city. Because of his interest in studying Australia's animal life, Davidson is recommitted as an B. Opfell, committee member, who reported on the overall history, civic activities, and recent development of Orange, Australia. The material was so well received by Sister City committee members that it was suggested a civic meeting be held at the Orange Public Library to apprise local residents of highlights of the overall project. Davidson consented to screen many of his slides if such a meeting could be arranged, Kent said this morning. The Rev.
