IN TODAY’S REGISTER Editorials C-16 Society D3-5 ORANGE COUNTY’S WATCHFUL NEWSPAPER Woman’s Age Is Worth $100— HUNTINGTON BEACH — The police officer was polite but firm. “Your age, ma’m, or a $100 fine.” Mrs. Joan Lamm, of 19321 Cindy Lane, pondered the question at length, mentally checked her bank balance and grudgingly acceded to the demand. But Wednesday she was still fuming over what she claims was an invasion of privacy by the federal government. If a woman’s age isn’t inviolate, what is? That’s what Mrs. Lamm told the federal census taker when the enumerator knocked on her door to get a family head count. To make matters worse, the census taker was another woman. “She came by Friday and said she wanted my name only,” Mrs. Lamm said. “When we got to the age part, I told her it was none of her business. I thought they were counting noses, no ages. “She came back Monday and started in again. She told me had to tell her because she is federal official. I've never seen such an overbearing woman. Finally told her to leave or would turn the hose on her. “Then she went around to the neighbors and asked them questions about how many cars we have and all that. That's when really got mad.” Goblins Set For Anaheim ANAHEIM—Air raid sirens will wail throughout the city at 10 a.m. Friday signaling the start of major festivities for the last two days of the 42nd annual Halloween Festival. The sirens will be a call to the annual kiddie parade set for 10:30 a.m. ANAHEIM—Air raid sirens will wail throughout the city at 10 a.m. Friday signaling the start of major festivities for the last two days of the 42nd annual Halloween Festival. The sirens will be a call to the annual kiddie parade set for 10:30 a.m. First event of the day is the 7:30 a.m., Halloween breakfast in La Palma Park Recreation Building. Theme of this year's event is "A Festival of Sports," welcoming the Angels baseball club to Anaheim. The affair is sponsored by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the City of Anaheim, school districts and other community organizations. 10,000 Entries The kiddie parade has 10,000 entries from school grades 1-6, plus 16 bands and drill teams and live cartoon characters from Disneyland. Seven-year-old Greg Peter will serve as parade marshal and will ride his shetland pony at the head of the parade. The young equestrian is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer A. Peter of 610 S. Sunkist Ave., Anaheim. Prizes will be awarded Friday to the commercial and industrial houses in the city taking part in the firm's decorating contest. The Pumpkin Bowl Football classic will be held in La Palma Stadium at 8 p.m. Friday. Magnolia High School will meet Santiago High School of Garden Grove. The Saturday Festival of Sports Parade will be preceded by a variety show in La Palma Stadium featuring the cast from the musical, "Stop The World I Want To Get Off." now in its 11th week at Anaheim Playhouse. Other Highlights Other highlights of the show include the Dapper Dans from Disneyland and the Go-Go cast from the Crest Hotel. Show time is 6:30 p.m. The Saturday night parade has 160 entries including 22 California's massively confusing welfare program apparently isn't getting any simpler. Orange County Welfare Director Granville Peoples, in an aspiring - swallowing mood, disclosed Tuesday that nearly $3,000 in overtime salaries was spent during the past month for an unnecessary accounting of caseload-records. The accounting has since been nullified by new state legislation. He estimated another $2,000 will have to be spent the next few weeks returning the records to their former state. The audit and subsequent re-audit will cost the county about $5,000 in overtime costs alone, said the welfare director. Peoples said the $5,000 dilemma began when Congress approved Social Security increases earlier this year amounting to an average 7 per cent hike, retroactive to Jan. 1. "Historically, welfare directors have taken the stand that an old age recipient receives more income, the increase is deducted from welfare payments," Peoples said. "The biggest, most solid crease has usually been in Social Security. Every time changes, we make corresponding changes in welfare payments." This time, Peoples continue the 7 per cent average monthly hike was made retroactive Jan. 1, 1965, and lump checks were mailed ranging from $35 to $60 to about 8,000 Orange Countians. Among the 8,000 we had 4,500 on Old Age Securities whose benefits would be subtracted from their counts. SIMILARITY IN NAMES the musical, "Stop The World I Want To Get Off," now in its 11th week at Anaheim Playhouse. Other Highlights Other highlights of the show include the Dapper Dans from Disneyland and the Go-Go cast from the Crest Hotel. Show time is 6:30 p.m. The Saturday night parade has 160 entries including 22 floats, more than 20 bands and drum corps, equestrians, and stunts. Sport floats will carry Angel players, golf champion Olin DuTRA, football players in uniform as well as other Southern California personalities. Parade marshals are Robert Reynolds, co-owner of the Angels, and Anaheim High School Coach Claire Van Hoorebeke. The two-day event is expected to attract more than 200,000 spectators. Anti-Coleman Drive Planned SANTA ANA — An Orange builder Wednesday was named north area chairman of a drive to prohibit centralized vote counting in Orange County. John A. Kosha, with Jack McFadden, La Habra, and Medrick Johnson, San Clemente, will organize a kick-off rally Nov. 4, to be held at the parking lot at Grand and Washington streets here. The Voter’s Information Bureau initiated the move to stop the county from using Coleman vote counting machines. The bureau will be collecting signatures on the initiative for 30 days starting Nov. 5. SIMILARITY IN NAMES Dance 'Fraud' Not Work Of SA Firm The hardest hit “victim” of the dance fraud in Buena Park last Saturday may be the Santa Ana based Pacific Coast Sports and Recreation Bureau. The Santa Ana firm’s name is similar to the “organization” that left 500 ticket holders standing outside locked doors in Buena Park Saturday. It was the Orange County Sports and Recreation Bureau. Al schlesinger, co-owner of the Santa Ana company, said he has been harassed, victimized, criticized and maligned ever since the Buena Park scandal. “The police have come in to look at our books, we’ve gotten phone calls and our ticket sales have dropped off to nothing,” Schlesinger said. The Pacific Coast Sports and Recreation Bureau currently is promoting a Pop Warner recognition night at Disneyland Hotel. Date of the event is Nov. 14, and, according to Schlesinger, several thousand dollars have already been invested in the affair. “Friday, before the Buena Park thing, we sold $600 in tickets. Wednesday we sold only $35 worth and our salesmen book their backs,” Schlesinger said. The man behind the Orange County Sports and Recreation Bureau, Jim Allen, once worked for Schlesinger’s firm. He leased several months ago. Police are looking for Alle and their most avid supporters is Schlesinger. Meanwhile, the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce manager has warned local merchants to “investigate” what they are purchasing before they buy tickets. The Pacific Coast Sports and Recreation Bureau even according to Schlesinger, is honor members of a Lakewood Pop Warner team which is sponsored by the firm. Pop Warner officials in Lakewood confirmed the legitimacy of the event, stating the firer has had similar events for them in the past. But that isn’t doing the Santa Ana firm any good now. “We are convinced that we will have to pull money out of our own bank accounts to pay for the night,” Schlesinger said.

I've never seen overbearing woman. I told her to leave or I turn the hose on her. She went around to the ars and asked them quessout how many cars we d all that. That's when I not mad." Police finally were summoned by the enumerator. An officer, who obviously would rather have been any place else, showed Mrs. Lamm the federal census statute which requires person to answer all questions, including age, or face a $100 fine. "When its $100, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Lamm said sourly. "I told them, but next time I'll fight this all the way." Her age? You'll have to ask the census taker. Saucer's Validity Doubted Military Teams Scan Pictures By Rex Heflin By BILL FARR AND FRANK HALL Register Staff Writers Two military investigation teams probed into photographs of an alleged flying saucer taken by Orange County Road Department investigator Rex Heflin, it has been revealed. Air Force and Marine intelligence officers individually measured Myford Road at the point between Valencia Avenue and the Santa Ana Freeway where Heflin took the pictures Aug. 3. They were published in The Register Sept. 20. Both teams submitted their findings to Wright Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio, where Air Force photo analysis determined the object photographed was about one-tenth the size reported.

Mrs. Eileen Gilmore of 920 N. Philadelphia, Anaheim, won $25 savings bond for designing face for the giant pumpkin head. Peoples said his staff began auditing the 4,500 cases to both deduct for the $35 - 60 retroactive payment (considered additional income) and compensate for the monthly 7 per cent Social Security increases. Audit Completed The audit was completed a week ago. Peoples reported. It required nearly 700 overtime hours of work. Now, the welfare director reported, it appears the work was all in vain. In his request for overtime approval, Peoples said the State Legislature during this month’s special session ruled the lump sum should not be considered additional income. Money deducted from old age benefits this month in this county and other counties will now have to be returned, and work is already under way to mail supplemental checks to between 4,000 and 5,000 countians. Peoples now estimates a total of $5,000 in overdue pay will and the Santa Ana Freeway where Heflin took the pictures Aug. 3. They were published in The Register Sept. 20. Both teams submitted their findings to Wright Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio, where Air Force photo analysis determined the object photographed was about one-tenth the size reported. Heflin, 37, who took the pictures with a Polariod camera assigned to him for his work, estimated the saucer was 30 feet in diameter, 8 feet thick at an altitude of 150 feet. Photo analysts claim the object was one to three feet in diameter and 15 to 20 feet above the ground. Subsequently, Maj. Hector Quintanella Jr., head of the Project Blue Book which renders findings on UFO sightings labeled Heflin’s pictures a “photographic hoax.” One of the investigators, who said he had not been involved in photo analysis for 10 years, said after his first look at the photographs the clarity of the object was too good to be as far away as Heflin reported. However, the officer did state he could not see what connection the road measurement would have with determining the size of the object. The official Air Force analysis of the photographs said the “UFO” was on the same plane as the center line of the road and its distance from the camera was estimated based on the width of the road. The officer emphasized he had no hand in the analysis but was involved only in investigation. He said when he was connected with photo analysis, the size of an object as large as an airplane could be determined to within 5 per cent.

Overseas Job Plan Operation Exposed By FRANK MARTINEZ Register Staff Writer in "overseas employment" me that allegedly left many" Orange and Los Ans County residents stranded Europe and North Africa after they had invested their life ings in the venture has been posed by Dist. Atty. Kenneth iams' staff. Arrested Wednesday was Mrs. William (Blanche) Carver, who along with her husband and brother-in-law, Edward Carver of Riverside, operated "Carteco" and "Agencia Transatlanteque" out of a plush suite at the Union Bank Building, 500 S. Main St., Orange. William and Edward Carver are expected to surrender to Deputy Dist. Atty. Joe Dickerson today. Dickerson issued a complaint for the arrest of the three Carvers Wednesday charging them with one count of conspiracy and four counts of grand theft. Bail on each defendant has been set at $10,000. The crackdown on the employment agency terminated a two-month investigation by the district attorney's office. The investigation was launched when a former Orange County resident complained he had been promised a job in Western Europe but was left stranded and penniless in London when the employment agency failed to find a job for him. According to Dickerson, the employment agency would require applicants to deposit up to $7,500 to show good faith they would live up to their contracts. Then, the agency would provide transportation to foreign countries but failed to provide jobs for the applicants, Dickerson charged. "Many of these people sold their homes and invested their life savings to get overseas jobs," said Dickerson. "We've received many, many complaints since we started our investigation." Dickerson did not disclose how many Orange County residents had applied for work through the agency. "Let's just say 'many' for Huge Residential Project Set In HB By DAVE ROSE Register Staff Writer UNTINGTON BEACH—The Huntington Beach Co. has relied plans for a giant residential, commercial and recreation-development project here which one official said will cost several hundred million dollars. County Orange Yield Below Area Average Orange County’s Valencia orge groves, while yielding more fruit this year, are below the average for Southland Hills, according to E. W. Kirkpatrick, field manager for the Orange County Orange Administrative Committee. The county’s groves currently produce an average of 260 boxes per acre, compared to last year’s 212 boxes. For Southhall California, the average yield currently is 307 boxes per acre. Kirkpatrick attributed this year’s improved yield largely to more favorable growing conditions.” A mild winter and spring and a cool summer, were cited. This year’s orange harvest is expected to stretch into the first two to three weeks of November, three weeks longer than last year. Growers say the ex-ision is due to the lack of available qualified pickers.

The project will house about 20,000 persons, said George Sheridan, assistant to the firm’s vice president, and the project will be completed in about 10 years. Approximately 6,000 dwelling units, the golf course and the shopping center will be located on 660 acres north of 23rd Street bounded by Palm Avenue on the west and Goldenwest and Garfield on the east, Sheridan said. The remaining units are to be built on two coastal locations on the bluff area adjoining the beach from the municipal pier north to 23d Street at a cost of $2.5 million, he told planners. Sheridan said work on the 18-hole golf course north of the Huntington Beach High School will begin next spring. Tentative completion date is early 1967. The single family homes will be built, beginning in 1967, around the fringes of the golf course, Sheridan said. A number of high density apartment units, including five high rise units, also will ring the new course, he added. Prices of the homes will be “competitive,” Sheridan said.

Tamura is expected to hand down a decision today on the controversial application by United Nations supporters that would allow children to solicit donations for UNICEF on Halloween Eve in Newport Beach. Judge Tamura listened to arguments Wednesday in a hearing for a court order requested on behalf of Mrs. A. K. Phelps that would prevent the City of Newport Beach from stopping the solicitation. Mrs. Phelps, president of the coastline chapter of the United Nations Association, is being represented by two American Civil Liberties Union attorneys from Santa Ana, David Cadwell and R. W.
