RAPID TRANSIT Transportation Name Key to Orange County The obvious key to the future of all of Southern California will be the ability of people to move about quickly and conveniently, county governmental leaders were told in Orange last night. Harry A. Faull, president of the new Southern California Rapid Transit District, stressed the importance of a two-dimensional approach to accessibility for members of the Transportation Committee of the Orange County Division, League of California Cities during a meeting at Friedemann Hall. "People are sick of bumper-to-bumper traffic; they are deeply concerned about the great property loss, the time loss, the economic loss, from overcrowded freeways and highways," the RTD president said, adding: CMA President To Speak Before Gathering Of County Physicians Several proposed state and national legislative programs that are expected to greatly effect the medical profession will be the subject of an address in Orange next Thursday. Guest speaker at a dinner meetig of the Orange County Medical Association will be Dr. James C. Doyle, president of Association. the California Johnson Medica Association. "In view of President John Coons. Scott's speech on "Confrontation in Europe," will raise a number of topical issues such as the United States policy regarding the reunification of Germany; De Gaulle's enigmatic use of the phrase "Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals;" the question of Britain's role in European conflict; and the current feasibility of a United States of Europe. From 1952 to 1961, Scott made extended tours of Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia, and these, together with several years as a correspondent for H A V A S, the French news agency, and for the London News Chronicle, and a sojourn in Russia as an industrial worker, have combined to make him an expert in this field. After registration and a tour of the campus, participants in Diplomacy and World Affairs Day will attend a plenary session at which they will be greeted by Dr. Vernon L. Bollman, dean of the faculty and vice president for academic affairs, and William Callison, director of admission. Dr. Edward W. Mill, chairman of the Chevalier Program in Diplomacy and World Affairs will address the students on "Diplomacy in Action." Following the plenary session, Occidental's high school guests will participate in twelve discussion groups led by the college faculty members on topics ranging from United States policy in Cuba and Vietnam to the Peace Corps, the new Soviet leadership, foreign aid, and over-population. The citizenry is becoming aroused over the sinful and unnecessary loss of life due to accidents on overcrowded lifelines. "We must resolve that traffic congestion and traffic strangulation and the curse of traffic accidents and deaths must be prevented by whatever means are within our power." The new Rapid Transit District, Faull emphasized, "ids-dedicated to the creation of an imaginative, yet realistic, plan for the movement of people from one place to another, safely, swiftly, reliably, conveniently and economically — be it through, over or under the ground. "Rapid transit meets these demands by providing us with a second and independent set of main arteries to relieve the overload on our motor vehicle arteries — truly two-dimensional accessibility." With the coming of the RTD, Faull explained, locally-elected officials on the County and City level have now fulfilled a vital role in the charting of a plan of action for Balanced Transportation.

"In view of President Johnson's recent landslide election, undoubtedly Dr. Doyle will give Chapman Madrigals To Europe "Send the Madrigals to Europe" is byword around the Chapman College campus following the announcement by the college's popular singing group, the Madrigal Singers, that they are planning to make a concert tour to Europe in the summer of 1965. The 18-member choral ensemble, under the direction of William D. Hall, assistant professor of music, presents a number of programs for community and church organizations throughout California each year in addition to concerts on campus. They are now beginning a series of projects in order to raise the necessary funds to undertake their proposed European tour. Community support will be possible through the contributions of orange, green, or blue trading stamps; through cash donations; or through the purchase of Christmas trees which members of the Madrigal Singers will be selling. The trees will be pre-sold during the coming weeks and will also be available on a lot to be operated at the college at Christmas time. "Attending Orange County physicians and their wives will be extremely interested in Dr. Doyle's testimony before the state legislature urging the boroughing of discplinary and State Board of Medical Examiners," Dr. Plumb said. Inherent throughout Dr. Doyle's recent testimony was the concept of expanding the present powers of the Medical Examiners by establishing a series of regional Boards empowered only to receive testimony. The present State Board would still be responsible for the rendering of all decisions. Dr. Doyle completed his medical training at Northwestern University in 1927 and is now a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a Fellow of American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Beofre assuming his current position as CMA president last March, Dr. Doyle served for eight years as Speaker of the CMA house of Delegates and also as a delegate to the American Medical Association. He is also a past president of the Beverly Hills Medical Society and the Los Angeles Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In addition to his many medical activities, Dr. Doyle has found time to be extremely active in community affairs. He was awarded the Gold Cup Trophy for Outstanding Community Service by Beverly Hills Citizens in 1958. Dr. Doyle, who is the father of seven children, is a past president of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, the Beverly Hills Rotary and the California Alumni Association of Northwestern University and for the past 15 years has been a board member of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber manager said that under these circumstances, no police solicitor's permit is necessary. "In fact admitting these unknown solicitors into their houses, they do away with police protection." Snetsinger said. He said the chamber office has been flooded with complaints in recent days about the activities of some solicitors. He reminded local citizens that the chamber is a member of the National Business Bureau and will provide a full report on the background of any company. Heliport Pl Plan To Retain Most Braceros Lauded Here Orange County farm leaders today welcomed reports of a plan in which the majority of the 15,000 braceros now in the state would remain following termination of the bracero program next month. "It would be a big advantage if we could keep them," said Gene Winn of Citrus Growers Inc. "Although we will not be picking Oranges in January, they (the braceros) would be a big help in the lemon crop har- Superintendent Recommends District Formation Study Indicating that the Orange Unified School District already has some 1,100 local students pursuing study programs in various colleges throughout California, Supt. Harold V. Kiby last night recommended to board of Education members that "we seriously consider the invitation of Garden Grove, Santa Ana College, and Orange Coast College to form a new college district in Orange County." Immediately following a brief discussion on recent developments in junior college circles throughout the county and state in recent months, the local board members voted to "submit to the program outlined by the Santa Ana Junior College and the Orange Coast Junior College to join the group on Jan 14, 1965, for a study of the formation of the enlarged junior college district." The motion made by George Smith, and seconded by Keneth Rohrs, was passed unanimously following a brief discussion during which all board members expressed their willingness to follow the suggestion of the superintendent who has been studying this situation for many months. Under terms of the adopted resolution, the program outlined by the two southern county junior colleges will be submitted to the local Citizens Advisory Committee for study and recommendations. Pat Donegan, prominent local civic leader who heads the Orange Advisory Committee, In fact admitting these unknown solicitors into their houses, they do away with police protection." Snetsinger said. He said the chamber office has been flooded with complaints in recent days about the activities of some solicitors. He reminded local citizens that the chamber is a member of the National Business Bureau and will provide a full report on the background of any company. "In other words," said Snetsinger, "investigate before you invest." Cecil Marks of the County Farm Bureau in Orange said the plan was an indication that the state is realizing that a great problem will exist next year because of the expected shortage of farm labor. If these 15,000 Mexican farm hands are allowed to work in California after the expiration of the controversial bracero law, growers would have the necessary foreign supplementary farm labor they say they need in January, 1965, a state official said. Raymond Roth, chief of the State Department of Employment's farm placement bureau, said that growers are baking on keeping most of these 15,000 workers for January picking and planting while the controversy continues as to whether foreign farm labor programs should be extended. Plans call for these Mexican braceros, scheduled to be repatriated Dec. 31, to be kept in California by changing their bracero status to temporary foreign farm workers under the immigration law. Though Gov. Edmund Brown has not announced a 1965 farm labor program which he has promised to release soon, he apparently supports the plan. Jesse W. Trapp, president of the State Board of Agriculture, has told the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce that the governor "will do everything in (his) power" to expedite the shift from the bracero law to the immigration act to recruit Mexican farmhands. AFL-CIO officials militantly oppose this plan, saying the immigration plan is "even more dangerous to the domestic farm workers than the discredited bracero law." Union leaders say the plan violates the intention of Congress when it refused to extend the bracero law "and this all foreign farm labor programs." Directors of the State Chamber REVIEW PLAN President of the Scouts of America Recognition Bang T. Petersen, right Vet Exemptions Top $56,000 In The County Exemptions granted on property assessed to veterans in Orange County amounted to $56,802 during 1964, according to figures released today by Richard Nevins, Southern California member of the Board of Equalization. This figure showed a drop over last year when exemptions for veterans totaled $60,958. Assessed value of all other exemptions in Orange County this year amounted to $82,329 compared to $82,215 in 1963. On a state-wide basis, California taxpayers will be the beneficiaries of $1.57 billion in exemptions from property tax assessments in 1964. This is the second year that property tax exemptions have dropped. They reached their peak in 1962, $1.64 billion. The drop in 1963 was $35 million and in 1964, $32 million — a two-year drop of 4.1 per cent. This decrease was confined to the veterans exemption. Nevins reported that current legislative studies on the equities of these property tax exemptions might bring about revisions in 1965. "The 845,959 veterans," he stated, "that have been granted exemptions this year will be relieved of paying property taxes on $785,462,000 of assessed value which averages $928 per exemption." "The downward trend in veterans' exemptions from property tax that began in 1960 has continued. This year there were 124,119 fewer qualifying veterans than in 1963 and 349,298 fewer than the peak number reached in 1959," stated the Board Member. Shift from the bracero law to the immigration act to recruit Mexican farmhands. AFL-CIO officials militantly oppose this plan, saying the immigration plan is "even more dangerous to the domestic farm workers than the discredited bracero law." Union leaders say the plan violates the intention of Congress when it refused to extend the bracero law "and this all foreign farm labor programs." Directors of the State Chamber of Commerce backed the shift to the immigration act, claiming insufficient farm labor next year could cause a $750 million loss to California agriculture and related industries. Silk Stockings' Now On Stage Cole Poter's "Silk Stockings," a hilarius satire on Communist Russia and its constantly defecting dipomats, is on a two week run at Melodyland Theatre. Veteran film star Don Ameche and lovely Finsih actress Taina Elg are starred with Ameche playing Steve Canfield, and American in Paris—an artist's agent no less, and Tainah portraying Ninotchka, a hard-boiled, frozen-faced Soviet agent sent to the French capital to do a "special job." First produced on Broadway in 1955, "Silk Stockings" is an adaptation of the hit film "Ninotchka," which starred fabled Greta Garbo, and the play is as timely now as it was 10 years ago. Ameche, incidentally, repeats the role he did in the original Broadway production. The plot, as light and fluffy as a cream puff, tells how Ninotcka learns about life and Steve. Her Russky efficiency and Iron Curtain shell disappears and she dqfects to America! Fifth Robbery Discovered at Electric Shop Robinson Electronics, 922 West Chapman Ave., was looted for the fifth time in as many weeks sometime last night, according to police. "Citizen band" radio equipment was again stolen valued at $193. Police say that it appears to have been the same thiefs each time. Sufficient equipment has now been taken to have two house stations, one car receiver with antenna, and two walki-talki units, police say. Entry was gained by prying braces from a side window. A plane of glass, believed to have been removed earlier by the crooks was missing from the window. zette ULOUS DISNEYLAND October 18, 1964 25¢ Per Month WHEN YOU LOOK INSIDE EDITORIALS Page 4 rt Planned For City FFA Studies Proposal To Land 'Copters A Paramount helicopter company is planning to establish a heliport in Orange, it was learned today.

Orange Coast Staging Hit 'Bye Bye Birdie' The drama and music departments of Orange Coast College will present the Broadway musical hit "Bye Bye Birdie" Nov. 19, 20 and 21 in the college auditorium. And, early in 1965, a scaled-down cast will play "Birdie" for men stationed with military units throughout the Pacific area. Orange Coast's traveling production of "Birdie" will be presented in Japan, Korea, the Formosa, Guam, Alaska and Hong Kong. Drama instructor John R. Ford, director for both the home stage and touring "Birdie" companies, said he anticipates OCC players will appear in 12 shows per week overseas—two shows per day, United Service Organizations (USO), the American Educational Theatre Association (AETA), and the U.S. Department of Defense to make the seven-week tour of American OCC actors and actresses will be called upon to play double, triple and even quadruple roles. And, players also will double as light technicians, makeup artists, wardrobe custodians, and stage crew. "We will be up to our ears in theater," Ford grinned. Ford applied for the tour in the fall of 1963. In February, 1964, the ATEA asked Ford if he wished to tour with "Bye Bye Birdie." "Yes," said Ford. The Orange Coast district governing board voted unanimous approval. Ford said the selection OCC was "an exceptional honor which speaks well for the young people who have worked in the OCC drama department since OCC was established almost 17 years ago." The plan, submitted by Iner-City Airways, Inc., 14711 South Paramount Blvd., is now being considered by officials of the Western Region of the Federal Aviation Agency in Los Angeles. The firm plans to construct the heliport within the walled area of the Orange Drive-In Theatre, approximately 75 feet east of the centerline of Placentia Avenue and 600 feet north of the center of the Santa Ana Freeway in Orange. Specifications of the heliport were filed earlier this month with the FAA. According to the plans, the heliport will be for limited private use with an estimated 200 landings per month, increasing to 400 landings monthly within the next five years. The principal direction of approach will be from the north and departures will be to the southeast, according to the proposal file with the FAA. Officials of the FAA have invited comment from Orange citizens on the proposal. These comments should be filed with the Chief, Airspace Utilization Branch of the Federal Aviation Agency, P.O. Box 90007 Air Port Station, Los Angeles, not later than Dec. I, the FAA stated. A FAA spokesman said the heliport would only be in operation during daylight hours.

A spokesman for the City Planning Office said they had received a letter from the firm regarding the proposed heliport but stated that no formal application had been filed with the Planning Commission as of today. "I understand he plans to carry passengers for the most part," the spokesman said. Six May Be Record In Uniform in WW II Hong Kong. Drama instructor John R.

The cast of more than 60 for the on-campus production, Ford said, will be pared down to 18 for the traveling troupe. "We'll probably leave Costa Mesa early in February and get home late in March," Ford said. The tour group will be limited to 750 pounds of stage equipment, props, set, costumes and makeup. "We'll have to make to with whatever we find available wherever we play," Ford said.

An Orange man appears to be in the running in a semi-official contest launched by the Veteran's Administration to determine the largest family to serve in the armed forces during World War II. Robert McLean, 36, 432 Crest Road, claims six members of his family, including himself, were in uniform at that time. But the total of six appeared to be edged out by a report from Minnesota which tells of eight brothers serving in the armed forces during World War II. There was also a story out of Garden Grove about a woman who spent the war years as a member of the WAAC while her seven brothers fought overseas. McLean, a photographer, was a Navy seaman and served in San Diego and Georgia. Two of his brothers served on destroyers in the same task force in the South Pacific during the war. They occasionally saw each other when their ships simultaneously refueled at the same destroyer tender. They are Paul and John. Both were gunners mates second class. Paul lives in Rensselaer, N.Y., the family's home town, and John resides in Roanoke, Va. Brother William of Nassau, metalsmith 3rd Class on Guam and other Pacific islands. The oldest brother, James served as a chief boatswain mate aboard a "Q" Boat, a disguised merchant ship which sailed in the vanguard of convoys to rout out enemy subs. He lives in Albany, N.Y. The sixth brother, Joseph, was an Army captain and commanded the 763rd Ordnance Co., attached to the 63rd Infantry Division in Europe. He resides in Cypress. Suspect Held On Charge of Attempt Rape Nelson, Robert Houk, 39, 1138 Cherry Drive, Orange, was booked in Orange County Jail early Sunday on a charge of assault with attempt to commit rape. According to police, Houk entered a local bar and ordered a beer, later shoving the barmaid into a storage room. He told her he would kill her if she didn't lie down on the floor and remove her undergarments, police said. When informed by the barmaid that the owner wouldn't be coming behind the bar soon, Houk reportedly forced her to rise and go out into the parking lot. The barmaid broke away and ran to a nearby hamburger stand and informed a patron who called police. Houk, according to police, jumped into his car and drove away. A description of the car was given police who apprehended Houk shortly after.
